Head to the Goldleaf Tradepost southeast of the City of Hernand. Once inside, look to the left of the entrance for Shakatu and two other merchants. Approach the group and a cutscene plays. Kliff confronts them about what's been going on around Hernand. Shakatu insists he has nothing to do with any of it and takes his leave, but tells Kliff their paths will cross again. The quest ends after the cutscene.
