Wu's third and final edict, the Edict of the Material, requires me to take a sack of gold coins to a bandit at the intersection near the Nybright Camp in the Lesser Faydark. Master Kyau explained that by doing so I will understand what Wu meant when he said, "In order to truly be free and have a clear mind and find peace within oneself, one must detach oneself from a dependence on material wealth and possessions."
Stage 1
Seek out the bandit in the Lesser Faydark at the intersection near the Nybright Camp and give him the sack of gold coins given to you by Master Kyau.
Start: | I need to take this bag of gold coins to the bandit that frequents the intersection near the Nybright Camp. |

Master Kyau's gold coins was fake. When I gave them to the bandit, he was initially quite happy. But when he discovered it wasn't real, he attacked me in a rage.Stage 2
It seems that Master Kyau had given me a sack filled with lead coins painted to look like gold. I should return to her and tell her that the bandit attacked me and force me to defend myself.
Start: | I must return to Master Kyau and tell her of what has happened. |

Complete: | I've spoken with Master Kyau. |

Predictably, the bandit's greed made him unstable. He was overjoyed one moment and then furious the next. I've learned the third edict of Wu, the Edict of the Material. This final edict has taught me how greed and attachment to material things can be harmful. I've learned that to truly be free, one must be able to survive without wealth and material possessions. Wu learned that a clear mind, one that is truly at peace, is one that is no longer bound by materialism and greed.
