Completed the quest "Hal Hahpa"

Dialogs:

NPC:You're a magister these days? Congratulations! So what're you here for?

NPC:Elder runes? Yes, of course, I know what they are. You, too, actually. Remember Hashi? She's still helping people back in the Cursed Village.

NPC:The plague didn't go anywhere and there's very few villagers left. A couple of months ago I happened to learn that the plague is actually artificial in nature.

NPC:It's a curse, @PC_NAME(0), a very powerful curse. One of a kind, in fact. It's written with the very same elder runes that you're trying to look into.

NPC:You need a curse imprint, you say... I believe we can help each other, then. You'll get your imprint and I'll get healthy and hale villagers out of it.

NPC:I need to find the energy channel that the plague is feeding off of. Our only leads are those bloodied parchments that are strewn all over the forest.

NPC:I'm not a specialist in the arcane arts, however, and I can't really study them properly. But the one responsible for this is still at large, so we cannot get help from others here.

NPC:I suspect that someone close to the Emperor is involved in this once more. Let's do the following - up north, next to the Cemetary, damned graverobbers have dug up a tunnel into the underground catacombs.

NPC:Inside we'll find the resting place of Mediv, the court mage of... I have no clue which emperor. It doesn't matter.

NPC:His astrolabe should be buried with him. It's a powerful artifact that's capable of finding energy sources like the one's used for the bloodied parchments.

NPC:I'm afraid you'll have to become a graverobber yourself. Get the astrolabe and try to get a few of those parchments.
