Preludes and Preparations

As you are no doubt aware, ferrying souls beyond the bounds of the Maw is no easy task. This is not a place from whence souls are meant to ascend. Our resources are limited, but I have devised a way to ensure the relative safety of the souls I retrieve--though I will require materials. Fetch for me the reeds that grow in the silt of the Gorgoa River, soulthread from the cloaks of the wandering specters, the hide of a soul-eater... Ah. And mawrat teeth. We mustn't forget the mawrat teeth.
