To aid the Sanzhani in The Blood of Dawnwalker, players must discover their hidden encampment, befriend the Tsarina, and then locate four Sanzhani individuals who require assistance. Completing these tasks allows players to send letters to Lunka, ultimately earning back segments of lost time.

The First Sanzhani Quest

The initial Sanzhani quest, titled "Good Home," begins in the Svartrou Outskirts, north of Svartrau City. It can be initiated shortly after the prologue concludes. While the quest objective does not appear on the map until players approach its location, it serves as a prerequisite for all subsequent Sanzhani quests. Upon finishing "Good Home," regardless of the outcome, the Sanzhani Tsarina will grant the "Letters to Lunka" quest, which includes the "Help the Sanzhani" objective. Each completed Sanzhani quest enables the player to send one letter to Lunka. After speaking with the Tsarina, players can send their first letter. To progress, players must complete the remaining four Sanzhani quests.

Locating All Sanzhani Quests

To send a total of five letters to Lunka, restore time segments, and acquire other rewards, players need to find the specific locations of the Sanzhani quests within The Blood of Dawnwalker.

  1. "Good Home": This quest involves finding and investigating the Yawning Burrow. Completing it unlocks all other Sanzhani quests and initiates the overarching "Letters to Lunka" quest at the same location.
  2. "Pearly and Precious": Players must travel to the Small Bridge shrine, situated south of the military camp in Briar Sloughs. Southwest of this bridge, players can use focus mode to follow a blood trail leading to the Sanzhani. The quest requires defeating bandits and promising to deliver shiny teeth.
  3. "Burrow Sorrows": Located in the northern section of the Rockfalls region, this quest starts in the forest northwest of Shrike's Crag. The Sanzhani is found north of a destroyed shrine. Players must agree to defeat kobolds within a burrow and retrieve a charm.
  4. "Tiny Dancer": This quest is found within a shop in Svartrau City, directly south of the Altenmarkt and opposite a distinctive house. Players can either sneak into the shop at night or enter during the day, defeat the owner, and free the Sanzhani from a cage on the second floor.
  5. "Come Hither": Players need to cross the bridge north of Vedera Marsh Outpost and continue north until a crying Sanzhani is found. Completing this quest involves defeating a Murohn.

Rewards for Assisting the Sanzhani

Each completed Sanzhani quest allows the player to send one letter to Lunka. Additionally, finishing "Pearly and Precious" unlocks the Sanzhani Merchant. This merchant allows players to sell collected shiny teeth, occasionally dropped by humans, for 150 denarii each. It is advised not to purchase silk threads from this merchant, as these are required for the "A Bulwark Against Darkness" quest and can be obtained for free by completing "Come Hither."

The primary reward for completing all Sanzhani quests is time. Upon finishing every Sanzhani quest and speaking with the Tsarina in the Yawning Burrow, players will receive one additional day to save Coen's family.
