You enter the palace to see the King and his son (who is blind) sitting before you. You bow out of respect as the King speaks.

“While out in the kingdom center, a fortune teller told my son of a prophecy- one that predicated the cruel fate of “the unseeing of Arkala.” She said the only way to change it is to venture north to the mountains, a quest none of us are fit to take on. You- as one of our strongest sorcerers are our only hope. So I ask of you- help my son with his venture.”
