Tas sends adventurers to collect the Meren townstone from it's resting place in the Temple of the Stars, deep within the Cloud Forest, for the planned unification in Hiroth. He is intrigued by the night sky, and believes that the ancient Utraeans disappeared from Aranna to join the stars above; he claims that the Utraean Circle, when opened, will allow access to the "Ethereal Realms of the Utraeans". When the Meren townstone is returned to him, he rewards the adventurers who found it with a magical spell book, and tells them to visit Utraean Priestess Janeira in Lang.
