Story

The offer

You know that Roah used to be a city in Heiron, right?

That's where I'm from originally, so you can imagine how heartbreaking it is for me to see the former residents forced to wander the Abyss so long after their deaths. Just think--some of them could be my ancestors!

I really wish I could do something to end their suffering.

  • "What did you have in mind?"

I've been doing some research, and it seems that each of them is animated by a Life Crystal. The high concentration of Aether here in the Abyss tends to build up and crystallize inside undead creatures.

The solution is simple yet dangerous: defeat the Disturbed Residents and remove their crystals.

I heard that you have some experience in dealing with them, Daeva. Do you think you can handle this?

  • Accept.
  • Decline.

Sun’s blessings on you!

You can find Disturbed Residents at the foot of the mountain.

Please send them to their eternal rest, and bring me their Life Crystals.

  • "Right away!"

Journal

Mercus has asked you to defeat cursed ancient residents and bring him their Life Crystals.

Along the way

Whew, I'm all in a flurry today as usual.

If you can bring me good news, that'll relieve some of my burden.

Well? Do you have those Life Crystals?

  • "Of course I do!"

It's no use just killing the Disturbed Residents and leaving it at that, you know.

Their Life Crystals will cause them to resurrect after a while, unless you bring them here.

  • "Sorry, I didn't realise."

Reward

I owe you a great debt, Daeva.

And not just me, but the residents of Roah, both ancient and modern.

Completion

Mercus felt sorry for the cursed ancient residents who were wandering about the Ruins of Roah in eternal unrest.

He asked you to destroy the Life Crystals inside their bodies to send them back to the flow of Aether.

You did as he asked and returned the Life Crystals to him.
