Birûk has given you a curious directive that he insists will help you track down Tatháta's location within Umbar-môkh.
'We are outsiders in Umbar-môkh. We patrol these caverns and keep them as safe as we can, but we do not live here. When my day is done, I return to the Shoreward Stone. When yours is ended, I presume you seek food and shelter at one of the taverns of the city. It is not so for all who walk these tunnels.
'I speak of the unseen ones, those the Umbari call \qMâtrikhai.\q My people have another name for them; to us they are the \qTerâsi,\q the forgotten ones. They creep into places no others could, and move with such speed that should you catch a glimpse of them from the corner of your eye, by the time you turned to look they have gone. They are children of Umbar, I think, and move about Umbar-môkh by secret passageways unknown to any other. It is said the Terâsi prowl the markets of the Upper Ward and the Lower when they are most crowded, stealing goods and coin whenever they can, and then slipping back into the tunnels and caverns undetected.
'Temámir hearts warm to the Terâsi, for we see their hardships and take pity upon them. It has been our custom to leave food for these forgotten ones throughout Umbar-môkh on occasion. I will give you this crusty bread so you can do this as well. There is a suitable metal plate where you can leave it in the far south-eastern corner of Ilmabiri, but you should clear the area of crocodiles and rats before you do. If one of the Terâsi claims our gift, you should ask them if they know where your missing Kinswoman has gone.'
Birûk suggested that you defeat rats and crocodiles within Ilmabiri.
Birûk told you to find a metal plate in the south-eastern corner of Ilmabiri.
The empty metal plate in the south-eastern corner of Ilmabiri waits for the bread Birûk gave to you.
Birûk told you that leaving food here should summon one of the Terâsi, the forgotten ones of Umbar-môkh. Now you must wait and see if he was right.
You hear a girl's voice from the darkness beyond the grate in the south-eastern corner of Ilmabiri.
The Terâsi girl you encountered in Ilmabiri asked you to retrieve a meal of higher quality from the Upper Ward, as well as a bottle of fancy wine, or she will tell you nothing. The tables at the Baths of Ilmai Iforikh may have what you need.

You must wait once again for the Terâsi girl Tephísa to return.
Tephísa, the Terâsi girl, has returned to the south-eastern corner of Ilmabiri.
