Congratulations, intrepid explorers! Sorry about Gavial, but see? All's well now!

Upon Amos and Rin's return from the labyrinth, the cow-headed attendant thanks them for their work and passes along her genuine regrets about Gavial's fate. She is glad they were able to rescue her from the creature's influence, and invites them to return when Gavial has revived at the Tree to meet with Lady Yima. Once Gavial has revived, the three are invited and escorted back to the depths of the Manor, where the attendant holds open a door that leads into an elegant, darkly-decorated room with silk veils and starry ceilings. In the center, awaiting them with food and drink, is Yima herself.

Through the conversation, Gavial, Amos and Rin receive the following information ( and rewards ):

— Regarding the labyrinth, they are informed that what they traversed was one part of a greater maze, and that the furthest extent that Yima's most loyal and interested parties have ever explored appear to terminate at the edges of Highstorm's island border.

— Additionally, Yima mentions that what occurred with the creature below was a random event, and not the norm as she controls the entirety of the island to keep it safe from such things. The issue was within the trio's ability to handle, and the remainder of the maze has no functioning or unblocked passageways that lead anywhere in particular, as a destabilizing event shattered and collapsed many of the labyrinth halls, long ago.

— Regarding the creature, Yima smiles upon its Shard and asks to take it into her care. She is glad they were able to bring its suffering to an end, as the creature reminded her of someone she once knew and admired greatly. That individual is gone now, but was once family to her, and someone she had always found powerful and unstoppable. Until Oblivion took her, and all the rest of Yima's family. She stresses that there is no going back to what was, only forward in honor of such losses.

— She touches Gavial's cheek, and will purge her of Discord, resetting her back to a 0. As Gavial is washed clean of Discord, she will feel the cool energy of Zenith fill her and bolster her resolve in what Amos and Rin told her they were there to accomplish. She will find it at the forefront of her mind if ever she doubts, along with the sensation of the gentle brush of Yima's fingers dusting away any second thoughts.

— All three are warmly regarded by Yima, and are invited to meet with someone important to their cause and Highstorm's future activities as the Oracle battles reach new heights. The three of them are individuals that, due to their efforts, she hopes will serve as beacons among the Zenith and she would appreciate them taking a more active role in leading and guiding their people in the time to come. They've nothing to prove to her, and she is pleased that they have found their way. OOCly, this meeting will serve as the next part of this lore quest!

If you have any follow-up questions or need clarification, lmk! The results of this quest and Gavial/Rin/Amos's participation will have an effect on the next Setting Update, as well.
