The Rise of the Machines

Hierophant Theodora Mulvadania has found initials and a rank marking on the elemental shards, and the machines you brought down in the Burning Steppes bore Rank IV. Theodora sends you with a shard sample to Lotwil Veriatus, a scholar of elemental sciences, in a camp to the east.

Those are the 'initials' imprinted on the elemental shards. Below the initials are a rank marking of some sort. The machinations you destroyed in the Burning Steppes were of 'Rank IV.' I assume that this is a lowly rank.

Take this shard sample to Lotwil Veriatus in the camp to the east. He is a scholar of some renown in the field of elemental sciences. He may be able to assist us in our search.
