Stage 5

I spoke with Saul outside of Ballast. He needs assistance due to the dangers of the Dantooine wilderness lately with burying some of his friends. He would like me to carry them to the burial site in the Dantari Wilds.

How this stage is set:

We have all the material we need here, it’s custom for the one performing the burying ritual to wrap the bodies, as you will be setting them to rest.

Stage 15 — Finished

Saul was grateful for my assistance with burying his fellow farmers. In return he told me that there was a hidden jedi temple in a cave that can be found in the hunting grounds on Dantooine.

• Dialogue INFO 20601198163573893 under topic burials; speaker Saul (SW_HumanFarmerBuryGiver). locations: Dantooine, Ballast. conditions: Journal SW_BuryThem Equal 10. response: “They’ve been put to rest then? We don’t have much to give, we don’t really gain anything from work here, other than the bare necessities. I do know something that may interest an adventurer like yourself though. There is a cave in the estate’s Hunting Grounds. Inside that cave is rumored to be a secret passage to an old Jedi Temple. The people here aren’t much for gossip, so there must be some manner of merit to the rumor.”.
