The Alchemist needs a Black Cauldron to establish an Alchemy Station. He heard stories of a sorcerer called Ikora from the Farmer, Emily Fray. Perhaps she knows more.

The Farmer said that Ikora used to reside in Rattlebleak, a town in the the Nomad Highlands. Perhaps the Black Cauldron can be found at her shop.

Ikora's shop is empty, and Rattlebleak is filled with strange, calcified statues. Perhaps this is related to Ikora's experiments with the Black Cauldron. Following the trail of statues might lead to her.

Ikora, or what was left of her, was defeated. The Black Cauldron must be among her remains. The Alchemist will have use for it.
