Dialogue
 * (Your name)! Norgu! You must help me! I simply can't stop thinking about that horrible play that nearly cost me my life.  I fear my love of theatre itself may be in jeopardy, for how can I possibly enjoy counting my riches when all I can think about is how one of the great pleasures of my life has been ruined?  I've got it!  I must commission another play immediately to erase the memory of the last one from my mind!  But I have matters I must attend to here first.  I need you to go in my place and tell that sniveling Theatre Manager Daudi to start work on a new production, posthaste!

Intermediate Dialogue (Kenyatta)
 * Sorry, I can't help you. I haven't had a single good idea in months. Everything I've written has been complete garbage. I am, frankly, a worthless excuse for a human being, let alone a writer. That's why I left, despite what Daudi thinks. Great gods, how I hate myself...
 * ''I'm glad you showed up. Sijo left me here a few weeks ago, venturing out to "recharge his creativity" and "find his center". He's done this before, and he usually ends up wandering around the caves east of Resplendent Makuun. I keep telling him it's dangerous, but he never listens. He insists that the muse first spoke to him on one of his many adventures in his younger days, and says a little adventure may be the only way to find her again. Frankly, I'm starting to worry. Can you check up on him? I'd go myself, but I'm far too worthless. I'll just sit here banging my head against a large rock. Don't mind me.

Reward Dialogue
 * "Springtime for Varesh." I ask you to go find a new play for the prince and you bring THIS back?! I can't put this on for the prince.  I don't care if it is the last thing that Sijo ever wrote.  Besides, everyone knows that he hasn't written anything worthwhile since "CENTAURS."
 * Then again, I'm desperate. Maybe if I change "Varesh" to "Bokka"... yes.  YES!  It's kind of crazy, but it JUST MIGHT WORK!  The prince will never notice, especially if the play is about himself!  He'll love it!  LOVE IT, I tell you!  I'm saved!

Walkthrough
See Theatre Manager Daudi in the room just prior to Bokka's throne room. He will ask you to find the two playwrights who went to Honur Hill. Map back to the town and talk to Kenyatta, who will tell you he is all washed up and you should look for Siji. He also tells you Siji went exploring to find his muse again, in the caves on the eastern side of Resplendent Makuun. Search out the body of Siji in the northeast corner of the zone, a little south of the zone boundary into Wilderness of Bahdza, to obtain a copy of the "Springtime for Varesh" Script. Report back to Daudi for your reward.

Tip
Once you take the quest, Siji's body will spawn immediately, so can go directly there and get the script. However, you will still have to talk to Kenyatta in order to complete the quest, so this will only save you time if you've already cleared that part of the zone.

Note
The "Springtime for Varesh" bit is a parody on a famous Broadway Act, "The Producers". A make-up play in the broadway show is similarly named, "Springtime for Hitler".
