Verified answer
Quick answer
Finish Good Home at Yawning Burrow, then complete Come Hither, Burrow Sorrows, Pearly and Precious, and Tiny Dancer. These four quests become available together; return to the Tsarina to send letters to Lunka.
After all five quests, ask about the special reward to regain one in-game day. The quests still cost time, and this reward does not undo an already expired family-rescue deadline.
Evidence checked October 14, 2026. The objective loop and day reward are cross-checked against original quest walkthroughs and independent guides. Individual walkthroughs resolve conflicting location and entrance advice; fixed clock-unit conversions are omitted.
Plan the Sanzhani chain alongside the Quests & Quest Order, 30-Day Time Limit, Arbiter Armor Set and Trophy Guide.
What does “Help the Sanzhani” mean?
It is an objective inside Letters to Lunka. Complete Good Home first, then help the four other Sanzhani: Come Hither, Burrow Sorrows, Pearly and Precious, and Tiny Dancer. The PowerPyx walkthrough explicitly says those four become available together; its suggested order is not a mandatory sequence.
Start Good Home by following the mushroom trail to Yawning Burrow, north of Svartrau. After that quest, the Sanzhani Tsarina provides the letter service. If a later quest is missing, check this prerequisite before searching for an unrelated progression gate. These small quest starts may only appear on the map when you approach them.
Find and finish the four follow-up quests
Use these clues from the individual walkthroughs, then follow the current journal:
- Come Hither: go north of Verda Marsh Guardpost Shrine and investigate the curious sound. Follow the Sanzhana to the burrow, defeat the Murohn, and return to the quest giver. Polygon and Method also describe a free silk-thread opportunity here; check the burrow with Focus Mode before buying threads for Arbiter armor.
- Burrow Sorrows: start north of Boarback Trail Shrine. Retrieve the charm from the kobold burrow, then return it to the Sanzhana. Some combined guides place this near Small Bridge, but the checked individual PowerPyx guide identifies Boarback Trail.
- Pearly and Precious: inspect the ruined camp directly south of Small Bridge Shrine. Follow the drag marks and later footsteps with Focus Mode, deal with the bandits, and report back. That conversation unlocks the Sanzhana vendor. The original walkthrough says the vendor later moves to Yawning Burrow if you leave without buying.
- Tiny Dancer: investigate the suspicious sound in a central Svartrau shop. The original walkthrough supports the ground-floor entrance or the rear balcony, so night-only access is not treated as a rule here. Upstairs, interact with the cage, take its key from the table, and free the Sanzhana. Continue the hidden-treasure objective in the other upstairs room, including the loose floorboards, until the quest completes.
Send letters and read the reply
Return to the Tsarina at Yawning Burrow after helping a Sanzhana. Good Home counts toward the five total opportunities, and the five letter topics can be selected in any order in the documented route.
When the journal asks for Lunka’s answer, allow the in-game day described by the walkthrough, then read her letter in your inventory. Walking around for a day of real time is not a substitute for advancing the game’s marked clock. If “Help the Sanzhani” remains active, check all five quest completions rather than assuming the first visit to the Tsarina finished the chain.
How to claim the extra day
After all five Sanzhani quests, ask the Tsarina about the special reward. PowerPyx, Polygon, and Method agree that this returns one in-game day.
The quests themselves still spend time. This is not a promise of a free net day, and PowerPyx warns that claiming the reward after the rescue deadline does not reverse the expired deadline. Plan the chain while the family-rescue window is still open, keep a save, and read each current cost prompt. The time-system guide explains how those commitments advance the clock.
