Dialogue
 * "I have heard that out in the Salt Flats Elonian ghosts sometimes reveal themselves. One in particular, Sennat Sen, is said to have worked as the master artisan for Turai Ossa of Elona. This ghost has never appeared for me, though I have searched for him many times, so anxious am I to learn more of the secrets of this ancient people. If, in your journeys, you should meet this Sennat Sen, please convey to him my respect for his people and tell him that I too hope to speak with him some day."

Walkthrough
If you are doing this quest standalone, it may be best to begin from Elona Reach. Follow the wall on your left all the way round till you come to the portal to Salt Flats. Now just head right to a teleporter which will take you across the small valley to the quest objective. Sennat Sen is a materials crafter.

Tip if you do not feel like fiddling with the teleport switches, you can enter the small valley and exit via the ridge, that is just left of the teleport on the opposite side of the valley. The same ridge can be used to make a quick escape if you are overcome by Devourers or Jade Scarab.

An alternative if you do not have access to Elona Reach is to begin the quest from Seeker's Passage, going northeast and then east.

Tip This quest can be done nicely together with A Belated Betrothal, which is given by Tirzah in Seeker's Passage. The dual quest may then be started from Seeker's Passage. Go southeast until you go through a narrow channel, then round the wall to your left and up another narrow channel with wooden plank steps and platforms. You will reach the objective of A Belated Betrothal at the top of the channel beside the teleporter. Teleport, then continue in a northeasterly direction until you find Sennat Sen, the objective for Ancient Secrets.

You need to take it slowly. You will encounter Devourers, Jade Scarabs, and a pretty large number of Storm Kin. The Storm Kin patrol in small groups but can move very quickly along their patrol routes, so it is easy to aggro more than you would like. So be careful to deal with these in as small numbers at a time as possible, and heal up and recharge between encounters.
