The PCs are asked to help rescue Jamila and retrieve the Horn of the Hurricane by Ashasar to maintain balance between the Concordance and Hshurha's forces.

The PCs are asked to travel to Jamila's last known location of Port Eclipse and rescue her if she is alive, and retrieve the Horn of the Hurricane before it falls into the wrong hands.

Jamila was last headed to Port Eclipse, an airship harbor of ill repute within a massive hollow rock in the Endless Sky that is not controlled by the djinn.
