>Hail, Tiamon Aroo
Greetings Ryuzi, watch where you step for the [needle clawed hoppers]
are just about everywhere!
こんにちは、［needle clawed hoppers］に気をつけなさい！
>What needle clawed hoppers?
Those wretched vermin swarm to our city and trade routes in search of
the refuse left by careless travelers who pass through these parts.
They are just about useless and their stench brings bile to my throat.
I would have set out to poison the whole lot of them if it was not for
their unique [claws].
その汚い動物は、ここを通る不注意な旅人によって捨てられたゴミを漁りに押し寄せている。
その悪臭は私の喉もいためる。
もし変わった[爪]を持っていなければ、私は毒で絶滅させただろう。
>What claws?
The claws of the hoppers act as a [spirit anchor].
They are specialized in tearing into the fiber of the shadow beings that
roam the thicket.
I find these claws useful in [binding] the silk fashioned by the
[shadeweavers].
Hopperの爪は［Spirit Anchor］の役割である。
ここを歩き回るShadowの生き物の繊維にくっつく。
私はこの爪が［shadeweavers］で作られた絹を[付着]させるのに有用であると思う。
>What binding?
>What bind the silk?
A spirit must be bound to material from our own realm.
Stones such as those used to build cities can be great anchors for
spirits.
The more ritual and culture that a stone is exposed to, the stronger it
becomes as an anchor.
You can use the claws of a hopper to sew the shadeweavers silk onto a
suitable anchor.
If you bring me four of these claws, I can fashion one of them into a
needle for you.
>What shadeweavers?
The shadeweavers hunt the beings of shadow found within the thicket.
From them they fashion their shadow armor they call Xakra.
We have tried to use this strong and lightweight armor in the past, but
the shadows just disperse.
I have found that sewing this armor onto a suitable [spirit anchor] will
keep it from dispersing.
>What spirit anchor?
A spirit can only materialize within our realm by binding themselves to
an object that is a spirit anchor.
Some bones and stones have such properties.
A spirit anchor can also do the most damage to the material form of such
spirits when used as a weapon.
I use the claws of the hoppers as a sewing needle of sorts to [bind the
silk] made by the [shadeweavers].
A standard sewing needle would only pass through the substance of the
silk.
The hopper claws can pierce through their ethereal fabric effectively.
