Time and Tide

 is a side quest and companion quest for Kana Rua in.

Synopsis
Kana Rua, an aumaua from the northern lands of Rauatai, has come to the Dyrwood in search of a sacred text, the Tanvii ora Toha, or Book of Virtues. After a long year's search, he believes that he has tracked the text to a tablet within the buried ruins beneath the keep of Caed Nua.

He is eager to explore the ruins, and has asked for the Watcher's assistance in doing so. Until then, he seems happy enough to accompany them on their travels - though he has sheepishly admitted that this is in part due to his being pursued by mysterious assailants.

Walkthrough

 * Find Kana Rua outside of Caed Nua and accept him into your party. This will start his quest, however to progress further you must first complete The Old Watcher.
 * Once The Old Watcher has been completed, you will have access to The Endless Paths of Od Nua. You must descend down to level 7 to progress this quest. Since the enemies get progressively harder in this dungeon, if you can't reach level 7 right away it's recommended that you return later.
 * Once on level 7, head to a room at the end of the corridor in the south-western corner. Take the old copper key from the chest.
 * Use the key to unlock the door for the southeast room.
 * Kill Gabrannos. This triggers the first dialog that plays a large role in determining Kana's ending. Your choices will count towards three different traits. (see below)
 * Pick up his tablet on the nearby table and begin the second part of the dialog (see below)

Note: If you leave through the master staircase after completing the quest with Kana in your party, you'll be attacked by assassins in level 1 and Kana will have additional dialog. (see below)

Kana Rua dialogue
