Dialogue
 * "According to legend, there was a temple to the north that held great secrets. We do know that before the temple was leveled, a Monk in a fit of religious ecstasy stole scriptures and escaped. If we knew the resting place of that Monk, we could possess the knowledge of those scriptures!


 * Some years back, one of our ranks, Hanbahd, left us to study on his own. He fancies himself a prophet, but I say he's a loony. Either way, we need to find him. I hear he may have traveled a bit to the south to the Mirror of Lyss."


 * Accept: "Those scriptures could provide great insight. I will help you."
 * Reject: "Find someone else to go on your vision quest."

Intermediate Dialogue 1
 * Hanbahd the Anchorite: "They're trying to touch me! Make them go away and then, maybe, we'll talk."

Intermediate Dialogue 2
 * Hanbahd the Anchorite: "No time to talk! I must leave before more beasts come after me! You can find me in the Halls of Chokhin."

Reward Dialogue
 * "Those beasts thought they could intimidate me into talking. Wrong they were! Only those are who worthy might bask in the glory of His touch. And I will protect His secrets to the death! His scriptures bring enlightenment; are you worth of such? The resting place of the Lost Scriptures is holy ground and I will not let it be defiled by anyone. If Tahlkora can trust you, then I can as well. Again, I ask you, are you ready to embrace the gift of knowledge?"

Walkthrough
Hanbahd can be found in the Mirror of Lyss, closest to The Kodash Bazaar. When you get close to him, he will become an ally and be attacked by a Margonite while you are still out of range. He might need some healing as you approach him. Several subsequent waves of 2-4 Margonites will attack him.

When you have finished defending him, he will leave. Find him again in Holdings of Chokhin. He will be standing near Ahnduriz Bohim (take the left path after exiting from Mihanu Township).
