Stage 1
» Speak to Gracen at [-738, 80, -655]

Dialogue:
 * Gracen: Excuse me, traveller... I am dreadfully sorry to ask this of you, but I need your help.
 * Gracen: You see, my son, Aryn. Very recently, he underwent a traditional coming-of-age ceremony from our tribe.
 * Gracen: He was tasked to enter the dangerous Dernel Jungle, just south of here, and brave the wilderness for three days. He returned a true man, successful.
 * Gracen: However, he also brought with him an odd purple gemstone. Our shaman saw it as a bad omen, but I was so caught up in the celebrations, I brushed it off.
 * Gracen: Strange happenings began around the village. Aryn walked about at night, talking to someone, but no one else was there with him.
 * Gracen: Just last sunrise, he vanished entirely. We sent out a search for him, but even our hardiest warriors could not venture deep into the jungle.
 * Gracen: We returned empty-handed, having lost our newest tribesman. The village is in terrible spirits, and I feel as though I am responsible.
 * Gracen: You Wynn warriors, however... great stories are told of your exploits. Surely, you will be able to brave the jungle, yes?
 * Gracen: I beg of you, please, find my son. I do not know quite where he is, but undoubtedly he has been taken quite a ways in...
 * Gracen: Hm... I just now am seeing a strange trail on the ground... it matches the color of the gemstone! It may take you to him, please, follow it!

Stage 2
» Search the Dernel Jungle for Aryn

As you enter the temple, the following dialogue will play. Dialogue:
 * Aryn: P-please, I beg of you spirit, let me go free! The tribesmen must be so worried-
 * Aryn?: DO NOT RESIST, BOY! YOUR BODY IS MINE. I WAS TRAPPED IN THAT STONE FOR MILLENIA, AND NOW I AM FREE.
 * Aryn: Aha, I hear someone coming! Surely a tribesman here to rescue me!
 * Aryn?: Oh! If so, the body of this warrior will be far better suited to my needs! Grant me your power, boy! I need to thrash them first to possess them!

Stage 4
» Make sure Aryn is safe Dialogue:
 * Aryn: Hahah, take that, evil wraith! You'll never match the power of our tribe-
 * Aryn: W-wait, you aren't part of our tribe! Who are you, why did you come here?
 * Aryn: Oh... my father sent you? Well, I am very impressed, Wynn warrior. You fight with ferocity of our own!
 * Aryn: I...can't say the same for myself. That spirit completely overtook me, I still can't move right now...
 * Aryn: For now, please. Take away this gemstone. It caused all this, I don't want to be near such a bad luck charm.
 * Aryn: Tell the tribe that I will return on my own. I made it back once, I can do it again once I am prepared.

Stage 5
» Bring the Mysterious Gemstone to Gracen Dialogue:
 * Gracen: Oh my... Aryn was possessed by a spirit residing within the gemstone?
 * Gracen: How shameful... Our shaman has never been wrong before, why did I disregard his warning...
 * Gracen: But that is beside the point. You say you have destroyed the spirit and it does not feel tainted any longer, so I will trust you.
 * Gracen: Looking at it now, this is actually quite a valuable stone. If crushed to dust, it can be used in special charms we make.
 * Gracen: Here, allow me to grind this down for you. You can keep the shards for whatever purposes you may find for them in the future.
 * Gracen: Our tribe, and especially myself... We thank you for your service. We shall consider you one of our own, from this day forward.
 * Gracen: In fact, if you'd like, you may even enter my house here whenever you'd like.

Trivia

 * After the quest you get access to Gracen's house, in which is a Mysterious Carving with coordinates to a grind spot not far from where you find his son.
 * That grind spot is only accessible after you "place" the stone in its place, which will open a secret door.
 * This Feature was added in the 1.18 Economy Update.
