Sanctum is abuzz with your accomplishments. You have advanced the cause of the Seraphim Lords all over Atreia.

And in such a short time, too.... There is only one way such strength and devotion can be rewarded.

Lady Ariel and the other Seraphim Lords agree.... You are to be made a Guardian.

• "I...I'm honoured!"

As you should be. It is an achievement that only the best can ever hope to attain.

You will also receive a Mark of Guardian with special powers that will aid you in further endeavors.

However, it must be specially attuned to your unique personality.

• "And how is that done?"

You may have met Cerios. He has a special empathy that allows him to see the innermost core of a Daeva's soul.

He is empowered by Lady Ariel to ask you questions in order to find the values you hold dear.

In return, he will give you the title of Guardian, and all that comes with it.

• Accept.
• Decline.

Then go to Ardus Shrine. Cerios awaits your arrival.

Congratulations, young Guardian. May you serve Elysea well.

• "W-walk in the light!"

You have been deemed worthy to become a Guardian. Speak with Cerios to earn your title.

Arieluma, Daeva. Congratulations on earning the title of Guardian. I know you deserve it.

But first, I must ask you some questions. Please answer honestly as they will show me your personality, and thus what ability is appropriate for you.

My first question: What elemental force best describes your drive to protect Elysea?

• "Fire, hot with passion that destroys evil."
• "Water, life-giving yet engulfing of all."

Ah, fire.... To walk through flame is to subject oneself to great ordeals.

Knowing that, we walk through nonetheless, in hopes of annealing our resolve and character.

Tell me, what do you hope to gain through your courage?

• "Honour."
• "Understanding."

Ah, water.... The cooling touch that can weary even the greatest mountains.

Just as the ocean erodes the land, so does our patience chip away at obstacles that seem insurmountable.

Tell me, why do you persist when all seems hopeless?

• "I endure for love."
• "I endure for truth."

Ah, but honour can only come when those above you grant it, and those around you recognise it.

Daevas are still Human, and Humans are disparate and fallible. What if your superiors go down a path you think leads only to ruin?

Will you do what you think is right, or will you follow those you have sworn to obey?

• "I will follow my heart."
• "I will do as I am commanded."

Ah, but what is the truth? Humanity has tried for its entire existence to find it, only to fail.

Much of the difficulty lies in the very definition of truth.

Is it something objective, an immutable fact? Or does it change with time, circumstance, or individual outlook?

• "Truth is absolute."
• "Truth is relative."

I bestow upon you the Mark of the Protector of Justice, and name you Nezekan's Temple.

Daeva, Nezekan's Temple, forever strive to preserve the integrity that separates us from those we battle.

You were given the good news that you were deemed worthy to be a Guardian. You were told to speak with Cerios to earn that esteemed title.
