Once you have obtained all 6 items, you can move onto the dialogue and quest turn-in.
**WARNING: This quests dialogue is VERY sensitive. Doing one thing wrong can cause an NPC not to respond. If you turn in the items while an NPC is unresponsive, you will lose your items and have to get them again. Follow along and you shouldn’t have any issues. If something seems off or isn’t working, relog your character and restart the dialogue from the start**

Paralin Notion says ‘We’re a part of the Battalion of Marr. We’re soldiers from Che Virtuson. We were dispatched to this part of the Plane of Valor to eliminate an age old target. Unfortunately, due to some recent events our mission has been placed on hold and our [squad] has been asked to remain behind.’
>Say “squad“

Master Sergeant Aaramis Daryln looks you over and says in a deep voice ‘What could you possibly do to aid our cause.

before you attempt to jump ‘into the fire’ so to speak.’
>Say “prove“
Paralin Notion says ‘We’ve been running into a lot of problems lately with the razorfiends and the planarian larvae. Many soldiers have been getting sick because of the infestations that they cause. Capture the hearts of a razorfiend, a crystalline spider and a planarian larvae and bring them back to me. Our squad had enough problems capturing this small razorfiend here. This will become your first so called ‘Trial’ ______. It should be enough to prove your worth.’
>Turn in the 3 hearts to Paralin Notion, Planarian Larvae’s Heart, Razorfiend’s Heart, Crystalline Spider’s Heart.

>Say “glass lair“
Master Sergeant Aaramis Daryln says ‘It’s the prison that [Aerin`Dar] has been encased in for many generations.’
>Say “Aerin’dar”
Master Sergeant Aaramis Daryln says ‘Aerin`Dar is the crystalline dragon who once roamed the Plane of Valor. During a severe rainstorm it was struck down to the very core of its being. The mighty Aerin`Dar fell from the sky and landed in what is now known as the Glassy Wasteland. Planarian larvae began to infest its body eventually turning its pure heart to evil. Our [company] was dispatched to this region of Valor to eliminate the threat.
>Say “company”
Master Sergeant Aaramis Daryln says ‘My squad of men are a part of Che Virtuson. However, we specifically are a part of Ducee Buled. We fall under the command of Captain Ryglot. Our [mission], for the time being, is simple. But we’ve run into some problems lately.’
>Say “mission”
Master Sergeant Aaramis Daryln says ‘Not too fast ______. You’ll have to speak to the Captain about that. I’m not at liberty to divulge that information at this time. That information is classified. I can tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.’ Aaramis laughs. ‘Go to Captain Ryglot and he’ll be able to fill you in with all the details.’

>Say “busy“
Captain Ryglot Cupperhide says ‘I can’t go into any great detail, but the Crystalline Globe was taken from our command structure. It’s believed to have been separated into three pieces. Unfortunately, we’re having a lot of trouble relocating it. Perhaps you’d like to [help].’
>Say “help“
Captain Ryglot Cupperhide says ‘That’s good to hear ______. I wish we had more soldiers like yourself willing to help. I’m going to need you to locate the missing pieces of the globe and bring them back to me. After you’ve acquired the pieces perhaps you’d be able to rally enough people to lend us a hand with another [mission] objective we’ve been unable to fulfill do to our diminished numbers.’
>Say “mission“
Captain Ryglot Cupperhide says ‘Well, I can’t go into any details as to our main purpose is, but one of our missions was to exterminate the crystalline dragon. However, due to our company being split we are unable to go forward with this part of the operation. It has been placed on hold, pending the outcome of the [war].’
>Say “war“
Captain Ryglot Cupperhide says ‘Unfortunately, that is one of the things that I’m unable to speak of at this time. However, if you are [willing] to help rally some people together I may be able to release some more information to you.’
>Say “willing“
Captain Ryglot Cupperhide says ‘Well, that’s good to hear. Bring me back what I’ve requested and we’ll talk then.’
>Turn in the 3 pieces of the Globe to Captain Ryglot Cupperhide, Piece of the Crystalline Globe (Staff Icon), Piece of the Crystalline Globe (Gem Icon), Piece of the Crystalline Globe (Orb Icon) to receive your Crystalline Globe!
Captain Ryglot Cupperhide looks up at you in surprise. ‘I can’t believe you brought the missing pieces back to me so quickly. I have a team of men who have been looking for these pieces for weeks now. That’s quite a feat. Unfortunately, I will be unable to make use of the Crystalline Globe at this time. A message has been dispatched to my platoon asking us to return to the Halls of Honor. It looks as if we’ll be joining up with the rest of our company fairly soon. Keep the globe. If you’re able to rally enough people together to take on Aerin`Dar then perhaps you’ll be able accomplish an objective that our platoon was unable to do. I must go now. Good luck to you ______.’
