In-game text The whistle's item text adds a joke the dialogue never makes: 'Rainbow-colored barding optional', poking fun at the classic picture of a unicorn with a rainbow.

    What you know from earlier quests 2
    • #7 Incense and Sensibility: Braya is nervous, and her hands shake. She has you quietly refill two censers, bowls that burn scented oil, with Azeyma rose oil. She thought adventurers were rude and rowdy, but your care impresses her, and she praises Mellaine's eye for character.
    • #16 Essential Oil: Braya is embarrassed by the shortage and politely asks you to slay six ladybugs near the Bannock for their oil. She checks it with no sign of emotion, says the ceremony can go ahead, and thanks the elementals for sending you.

Accepting the quest

Braya

Your deeds of late have earned you the respect of all at Stillglade Fane. People say you are a breath of fresh air within these still caverns. Truly, you are an inspiration to us all.

  • DE Man spricht von keiner anderen Abenteurerin/keinem anderen Abenteurer mehr. ‘People speak of no other adventurer anymore.’ English calls you a breath of fresh air in the still caverns; German says people talk of no other adventurer.

...Having plied you with praise, I would make a request of you. An unusual creature has appeared near Fallgourd Float in the North Shroud. Witnesses report that it is badly wounded.

While it hasn't proven itself a danger to the locals, a wounded beast is unpredictable at the best of times. Please find it and provide it with such succor as you are able.

  • DE Ich habe in einer altertümlichen Legende einmal von einem ähnlichen Vorkommnis gelesen und es ist nur eine vage Ahnung, aber ... ‘I once read of a similar occurrence in an ancient legend, and it is only a vague hunch, but... No, I cannot say more about it now.’ English warns that a wounded beast is unpredictable; German says Braya once read of something similar in an ancient legend.

Report to Braya.

Welcome back, [name]. Were you able to find the creature? And what did it look like, if I might ask?

...Four-legged and tall, with a pristine white coat...and a single horn protruding from its brow! There is no mistake─that was a unicorn you healed.

Unicorns are rare and majestic beasts native to the inner region of Coerthas. They are extremely shy, and are wont to avoid all contact with man. The notion that you were able to gain its trust is most thrilling.

I've seen enough wild creatures to know that its behavior toward you means more than simple gratitude. Nay, the unicorn must have sensed kinship in you. Should you doubt my words, [name], pray take this whistle and prepare yourself. A truly uplifting experience awaits!

  • DE Einhörner sind klug und dafür bekannt, sich für gute Taten bei ihren Gönnern zu bedanken. ‘Unicorns are clever and known for thanking their benefactors for good deeds.’ English says its behavior is more than gratitude; German says unicorns are known to thank benefactors.
  • JA 傷を癒したとはいえ、懐かれてしまうとは……あなたの徳の成せる技といったところでしょうか。 ‘Even though you healed its wounds, for it to grow attached to you... I suppose one could call it a feat born of your virtue.’ English says the unicorn sensed kinship in you; Japanese credits your virtue.
