Description[]
Teera and Maruuk's weapons were removed before we stopped Tombcaller Arban. Our greatest ancestors may fight again in these plains... for the Nokhud.

Progress[]
Were you able to defeat the legendary spirits of our founders?
Completion[]
I would never have expected such help from an outsider before. You have my thanks.
Notes[]
On accept, Zorig leaves the player's side, runs off, and despawns:
- Initiate Zorigsays: While you free Maruuk and Teera, I'll update Yuvari on what's happened.
He permanently moves to Teerakai, where he stands next to Elder Yuvari with Cathan's spear in hand.
Defeat the Teera and Maruuk encounter in the Nokhud Offensive, then loot 
[Sarantuya the Ever-True] and [Batubar the Relentless] from the Ancestors' Treasure Trove. Return to Teerakai in the open world, enter the southeastern side of the kurgan, and interact with the ghost image of Teera's Bow in the innermost right-hand chamber. This causes Teera's Spirit to briefly appear:
- Teera's Spiritsays: It is good to know Clan Teerai still thrives! You have my gratitude for saving me from fighting against my own people.
Do the same with Maruuk's Spear in the opposite chamber, causing Maruuk's Spirit to appear:
- Maruuk's Spiritsays: Many thanks, friend, for returning me to my rightful resting place. It is good to know the centaur have more friends than when we first chose to leave our homes.
On completion:
- Elder Yuvarisays: Zorig?
- Initiate Zorigsays: Yes, Elder Yuvari?
- Elder Yuvarisays: You're more than ready to face the trials to become a windsage.
- Initiate Zorigsays: I agree. I no longer fear the trials.
- Elder Yuvarisays: Very well. I'll speak to the Ohn.
- Initiate Zorigsays: Thank you. <name>, please accompany me. I need to put my mother's spear in a safe place.
- Zorig runs down the path to the kurgan.
- Initiate Zorigsays: We'll restore the Eternal Kurgans, and protect them. Still, I'd like to place my mother's spear closer to home where I can watch over it.
- Initiate Zorigsays: I was not able to heal my mother when she fell ill, but I can ensure her protection and honor her now.
- Zorig slows down to a walk upon entering the mound. He walks into the first chamber on the left and places the spear on top of the coffin there. The spirit of Cathan the Determined appears in front of him.
- Initiate Zorigsays: Mother! I... I am sorry. I couldn't heal you. And I'm sorry that when you were dying, I never told you the things I needed to say.
- Cathan the Determinedsays: Zorig, you have nothing to apologize for! You did your best, and you saved me from an afterlife enslaved to those necromancers.
- Initiate Zorigsays: I... I never thanked you for being such a strong and kind mother. You taught me how to serve my family and my clan.
- Cathan the Determinedsays: I knew. But I was even more proud to have you as a son. You'll do great things for the Ohn'ir, Zorig - you already have.
- Cathan fades away.
- Initiate Zorigsays: I love you, Mother. Thank you for everything.
- Initiate Zorigsays: And thank you, <name>. My mother is at peace again because of you.
- Zorig walks out of the kurgan and back to his old spot next to Yuvari.
