-The outcome of this quest is dynamically generated and based only on the player's choices in the quest. There is no correct answer, as whatever is chosen will be the truth. However, who is Hindriach and the future of Bey Lah is altered depending on the four choices that a player makes.

-* If you can't find one of the clues even after searching the entire village and talking to everyone, you may want to double-check your inventory for quest items (especially if you have any auto-pickup options enabled). You do not receive credit for a clue until you use the look command on the associated quest item. Some of the quest items can even be classified as food or ammo and therefore be easy to overlook amongst other items in your inventory.
