After completing the Good Home quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker, the next quest you can do is Tiny Dancer. This quest is fairly easy — all you have to do is listen for the mysterious sound while exploring Svartrau City. It’s part of the beloved Sanzhani questline — a chain of fairy creature missions that ultimately unlock something far more important than XP. 7 The Sanzhani are a group of fairy-like creatures that live in burrows all over the map. They are pretty helpful and can act as your carrier pigeon, able to get messages to Lunka locked away in Greifburg Tower. However, to get the chance to send all these letters, you’ll need to find and complete all the quests linked to the Sanzhani people, and please their leader, the Tsarina.

🗺️ Full Walkthrough — Step by Step
Step 1: Locate the Quest Area
5 Head to the Merchant Shop in front of the Curious House on the southern side of Altenmarkt, in Svartrau City. Once close enough, a strange sound will draw you toward a specific building — this is your cue that Tiny Dancer has triggered.
Step 2: Enter the Building — Day vs. Night Method
5 You can do this quest during the day or at night. However, your approach changes drastically depending on the time:
- At Night: 7Head to the area at night and use the second-floor balcony to get inside.
- During the Day: 5During daytime, you can enter the shop and speak to the merchant and ask him about the noise. He will give you information regarding the noise. You can force your way up to the second floor, but it will start a fight with the merchant.
Step 3: Find the Cage Key & Free Sanzhana
1 Inside, go to the back of the room where there is a Storekeep’s Letter that you can pick up. 7 The key to the cage is on the desk nearby. 7 You will need to sacrifice two time notches to free a Sanzhana from a cage.
Step 4: Search for Hidden Treasure
5 Once you have freed Sanzhana, she will tell you about the reward in the next room. Simply scan the next room and grab the items from beneath the floorboard.
⚖️ The Merchant Choice — Two Endings Explained
This is where Tiny Dancer forks into two distinct outcomes:
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Kill the Merchant (Day) | Free Sanzhana + collect hidden treasure |
| Leave Without Killing | Quest ends — 100 XP only, no treasure |
| Night Approach | Skip merchant entirely via balcony |
5 If you are doing the quest during the daytime, then you will have to kill the merchant, as there is no way to stealthily execute this mission during the day. 5 But if you don’t want to kill the merchant, you can simply ignore the treasure and leave the house. The quest will end with you only getting the quest completion XP. Killing the merchant doesn’t negatively affect the story of The Blood of Dawnwalker — it’s merely an RPG choice.
💡 Pro Tip: Play Tiny Dancer at night via the balcony to skip the merchant entirely, free Sanzhana cleanly, and grab the hidden treasure without any moral compromise!
🎁 Quest Reward & What Comes Next
5 After saving Sanzhana, return to the burrow and speak with Sanzhani Tsarina, who will reward you for saving her sister by sending another letter to Lunka.
Tiny Dancer’s completion feeds directly into the final Sanzhani quest — Letters to Lunka — which is the emotional payoff of the entire chain.
📖 Where Does Tiny Dancer Fit in the Sanzhani Questline?
4 The full Sanzhani Questline runs: Good Home → Come Hither → Burrow Sorrows → Pearly and Precious → Tiny Dancer (The Tsarina’s Favourite Human) → Letters to Lunka. 7 A good starting point is doing the Good Home quest that unlocks the burrow where you’ll find the leader of the Sanzhani, the Tsarina.

FAQs

A: The cage key is located on the desk nearby the Storekeep’s Letter inside the building — pick up the letter first, then interact with the key to unlock Sanzhana’s cage.
Q: Should I kill the merchant in the Tiny Dancer quest?
