The Rite of Atonement

The Rite of Atonement is a Temple quest available in. The Agent is sent into one of the Iliac Bay's many dungeons to find an exceptionally "pure" ingredient.

Background
After joining one of the Eight Divine temples scattered throughout the Iliac Bay, the Agent will be assigned randomly determined quests to complete a temple missionary. Once they have achieved the rank of Acolyte or higher, one of the temple's missionaries will offer this more difficult quest.

Objectives

 * Speak with a Missionary from a joined Temple.
 * Venture to the dungeon specified.
 * Enter the dungeon to search for the lone ingredient.
 * Escape the dungeon and return to the Missionary within the time limit to complete the quest.

Walkthrough
Speaking with one of a joined Temple's Missionaries will reveal that their local Temple has recently fallen out with their God. Repentance can be achieved through "a rite of atonement", although the Temple lacks an untainted sample of an ingredient, needed to complete the rite. Fortunately, the Missionary knows where such a sample exists, and so the Agent is sent off to find it, hidden within one of the Iliac Bay's many dungeons.

A Sterling Sample
The Agent will have to enter and search through the specified dungeon in order to find the ingredient, which can be found lying on its own somewhere within. When interacting with the ingredient the Agent them-self will remark:

"This is it! I can feel the purity of the [ingredient]. Now to get it back to [quest giver's name]."

- The Agent

With the ingredient safely in the Agent's inventory they must escape the dungeon and return to the Missionary within the time limit to complete the quest.

Rewards
The Agent will receive a random amount of gold when they return to the Missionary with the ingredient. The success or failure of the Agent in undertaking the quest will also affect their reputation in the Temple:
