- If you do not get the cutscene then proceed to next step at the Imperial Whitegate at (L-9)
Click the Imperial Whitegate door at (L-9) for a cutscene and an Imperial Missive.
- The quest is marked as active when this step is completed.
Make your way to Ru'Lude Gardens and check the Door: Audience Chamber at (H-6) for a cutscene.
Go speak with the three nations' leaders:

- Speak with Halver at (I-9) within the Chateau d'Oraguille to receive the San d'Orian approval letter.
Return to Ru'Lude Gardens and click the Door: Audience Chamber to receive the Jeunoan approval letter.
Go back to the Imperial Whitegate door at (L-9) for a cutscene and a Present for Megomak.

- Slabs of Plumbago also drop from Hilltroll Warriors and Hilltroll Dark Knights in Mount Zhayolm.
Go to Mount Zhayolm and check the Acid-Eaten Door at the top sliver of (I-9) for a cutscene with Megomak. It's on the second floor of the Cerberus spawn area, in the troll ruins. He gives you Megomak's Shopping List.

Trade the three Slabs of Plumbago to the Acid-Eaten Door to receive a Lightning Cell from Megomak.
