Walk Through

[OPTIONAL] Speak to Hea Arantah in Ahurenga and purchase the Aun Ralirea (Rumor) from Hea Camauri the Barkeep.
[OPTIONAL] Obtain the Contract for Hunting Aun Ralirea from Barkeeper Benedetta in the Annex wing of the Town Network.
Hunt Aun Ralirea on the plateau, he is a rare random spawn and can appear anywhere on the plateau, though he is more commonly found in the northern half.
- Route: From the Town Network, take the Annex (south) wing to Timaru.
- [Tip] - Because the spawn is rare, hours can be spent trying to find him unsuccessfully. One strategy to greatly increase the odds is to drop all five bells for the Olthoi Queen Quest. This causes the plateau to be overrun with olthoi spawns. Because there are far more spawn points, Ralirea has a much higher chance of spawning. If you also choose to kill the olthoi for Tesserae, it isn't uncommon to see Aun Ralirea three or more times.
- [Tip] - From Severlin on 03/05/10: "Your best bet is to actually kill spawns. Since he is a random spawn off generators in the area the more generator activity the more likely you are to find him. If you just run around looking for him and don't clear any spawns it is possible he just hasn't spawned at all."
Aun Ralirea speaks in open chat when you are near him. Be sure the person that needs the skill credit kills him, he drops a Clay Figurine that you take back to Hea Arantah in Ahurenga for the skill credit and if the person handing did not kill him (ID corpse if uncertain), no credit will be given. You must also hand the figurine to Arantah within 24 hours.

Lore & Dialog

Speaking to Hea Arantah

Young Arantah glowers at you.

Hea Arantah tells you, "What do you want, man-thing? Be quick, and do not lie, for the atual arutoa have given me many eyes to see the truth with. Annoy me at your own risk, for my anger is quick and my power great... As the Aun have learned."

Young Arantah looks annoyed - which seems to be his natural state.

Hea Arantah tells you, "What? Can't you see I'm busy? I have many responsibilities here!"

Hea Arantah tells you, "That Aun hunter, for one. What's his name?"

Arantah belches loudly as Nyrinua calls over, "Ralirea, my Tah."

Hea Arantah tells you, "Ralirea, yes. Don't CORRECT me, Nyri."

Hea Arantah tells you, "Anyway, this old Aun dustongue - Ralirea - poaches the gromnies of my plateau! If someone would kill him, and bring me that figurine he wears within a day as proof..."

When attacking Aun Ralirea

Ralirea grunts as he swings his harpoon, "[Player Name], I am among the greatest of the Aun hunters. You have little chance against me. Go you on your ways, and leave my party be."

Killing Aun Ralirea

The mighty Ralirea sags from [Player Name]'s fatal blow. "Ah, Mirakah," he murmurs. "I shall not be able to fill our stores this winter. But I will meet you at the lodge, my love... at last..." So saying, the hunter passes like the wind over sea.

Aun Ralirea's songs and other messages

Ralirea sings, "In a distant land my love came to me

Her hair in braid and bow;

And long ago over shining sea

My love was lost in a gate's blue glow.

'Where has she gone?' her mother wails.

'Where has she gone?' she asks of me.

The wind asks 'Where?' in the sails

As ever I search over land and sea.

In a distant land my love was lost.

I seek it still, wherever I go,

through snow and gale and storm and frost:

Just a glimpse,

one more glimpse,

of that gate's blue glow."

Ralirea sings, "The falling leaves glow red and gold,

the colors of faded glory,

the colors of faded dreams.

When I was young and strong and bold,

Ere I was old and hoary,

I knew that glory, so red, so gold---

The colors of faded dreams."

Ralirea grasps the small clay figurine that dangles from his neck, and holds it before the flickering light of the fire.

Ralirea pokes the wood of his fire with a stick, and a swarm of embers ascend like fireflies. The hunter watches them, and sighs. "Ever do they fade," he murmurs.

Ralirea looks away toward the distant sea, and murmurs, "Somewhere..."

When you return after killing Aun Ralirea.

Hea Arantah tells you, "You're [Player Name]! They told me what you did - you killed that poacher Ralirea! Give me his figurine. Quickly, quickly!"

You give Hea Arantah Clay Figurine.

Hea Arantah tells you, "Wow, great! Ha ha! I warned them not to send their hunters on to my plateau!"

Young Arantah clutches his fist around the little figurine, so tightly the veins in his wrist stand in relief. :His eyes flash violet, and after a muffled crunch, clay dust begins to trickle through his fingers. He looks up at you and grins boyishly.

Hea Arantah tells you, "That was a trick my friends taught me, way back when I was driven from Timaru. :I could do the same to your head, you know."

Hea Arantah tells you, "I'm kidding! You've been a friend the Hea, and I reward my friends. Here..."

Arantah places his hand on your forehead and his eyes glow blue-white. You feel... enlightened...

You have gained a skill point!

Handing in the Clay Figurine when you didn't get the kill

Hea Arantah tells you, "Ha! Your keh is all wrong! You were not the one who slew Ralirea this day - someone else did, and gave you his totem. Tell your friend to come and collect my reward himself, I am too important to deal with errand-runners."

If you hand him the Clay Figurine after getting credit before.

You give Hea Arantah Clay Figurine.

A suspicious scowl lumbers across the young Tumerok chieftain's face.

Hea Arantah tells you, "Now wait. My memory isn't what it used to be since the atual arutoa... bettered me, but I do remember your face, [Player Name]."

Hea Arantah tells you, "Yes... I rewarded you for Ralirea's death before. That means this figurine must be a fake! You dare try to fool the mighty friend of the atual? Go away before I use my Grip on you!"
