Olim, Underfoot Emissary  

His dialogue will apparently change once you get some tasks done, it seems (and/or it was just added in/changed recently). This is what he said to me about 5 minutes ago:

You say, 'Hail, Olim, Underfoot Emissary'

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says 'Hello <race>. I understand that you have been helping with the project. This pleases me. I still have in my mind the memory of the day I was sent here and the conversation that I was allowed to hear. I believe that it was meant that you upworlders, those that have proven themselves, are meant to know what happened as well. If you have interest, I can show you [what transpired].'

You say, 'Show me what has transpired'

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says 'As you wish. Let me give you those memories.'

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says 'The goddess of life, Mother of All spoke with the soft voice of a summer breeze. 'We are all worried. Some are near panic, which manifests in them in terrible ways. Never before has any of us died. Some seek to take a direct approach, forcing open the barrier to the continent and confronting the new foe directly. Most are taking a wait and see approach, expecting the forces already deployed to be enough to deal with any problems.''

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says 'The two gods, hoary old Brell and the lovely young Tunare looked concerned. Brell's voice sounded softer than usual, likely due to the presence of the life goddess. 'Neither of us is interested in getting directly involved in this. I certainly am not. I have my own realm to run, and I trust my creations to do what they need to do. But my realm is now open to the mortals, so I must get involved in some way if only to provide safety for the Underfoot. I think we are in agreement, the best hope of defeating any foe are the mortals we have created. They have proven to be adept at killing powerful beings, including us.'

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says ''The easiest way to get them to go there', said Brell, 'is to tell them not to go.''

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says 'Smiling, Tunare responded, 'True. But perhaps in this case we should deal with them more openly. I know that this has not been the method of the gods in the past, but times are different. We should simply ask them. Surely a simple suggestion will motivate them.''

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says 'Brell let out a deep chuckle. Smiling he said, 'For my gnomes all I have to do is point. They are so much like me, yet so different. They will climb any hill that they think might not have any footprints on it. Yes, I can get them to the hidden land easily enough. And where they go, others will surely follow.''

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says ''It is good to have you with us again, Brell. You might have preferred to remain hidden away in your realm, but you were missed.''

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says 'And so Brell sent me to Ak'Anon to speak to the king. The king organized his engineers and gave them a command to build an airship that could reach this hidden continent. A small portion of the city's coffers have been given to this band of engineers, and they have begun construction of a flying ship based on the one built by Meldrath.'

Olim, Underfoot Emissary says 'Brell explained to me that it is his desire that people go and assist the other gods on the hidden continent. I offer no reward for doing so, and warn that death is the most likely consequence for taking up this task. Brell's faith in us, his creations, is substantial, and for that reason alone I hope you find it worthwhile to try to fulfill that desire for him.'
