Your ears catch wind of a pretty interesting story.

Quest Text You can see Prince Barhan of Valencia and Atui Balacs NPC Knowledge.

Summary ... Your majesty. People are growing suspicious.

It cannot be helped, I would be suspicious too.
Causing a fuss like this just to visit my mother's homelands.
Atui, what news have you from Eilton?

They have expressed their intent to deny our entry.
Even more so your majesty's entry...
Hm... Then there is little we can do.
Should harm befall me out here...
A town as small as Eilton
will be crushed by the diplomatic fallout.
If only we had the aid of our "friend" at a time like this
(Mother... Wherever did you hide it?...)
Shall I bring the Khan's son to you, my Prince?
He is likely in Duvencrune.
Well, well, speak of the devil.
