With your help, I'm sure I can complete Laize's Panoply! I plan to work on the Pauldrons next, I think. Then maybe people won't look down upon me anymore.

Imagine, a homeless craftsman able to complete something that even so-called masters can't.

There will never be a warrior as good as Rosarea, and soon there will never be a craftsman as good as me!

• "Nice attitude."

Speaking of attitude...did you know that Rosarea was said to have a bad personality? It's true. She was bold and straightforward, but also quite hot-tempered and aggressive.

When her men did not follow her orders correctly, she screamed and raged so loudly that several were scared to death.

But no matter what, she believed in those she trusted until they succeeded. We must never give up, even in hardship.

Speaking of which...will you stick with me through this task?

• Accept.
• Decline.

I'll need plenty of Aether energy to finish the pauldrons. Take this marble and fill it with Aether.

In the Abyssal Splinter, there are plenty of Holy Orkanimums and Flash Lapilimos worth killing--they're full of Aether they don't need!

In the meantime, I'll work on Laize's Pauldrons some more. They'll be yours when they're fully infused.

• "I won't be long."

Aether energy is required to complete Laize's Pauldrons. Go to the Abyssal Splinter and collect Aether energy.

Rosarea was always confident, no matter who she dealt with--even with her superiors.

When she thought her orders were fair, she wholeheartedly followed them. When she didn't, she wouldn't hesitate for a second to disobey them.

I think that's part of the reason she became such a legendary warrior. But I think you know something of that yourself, no?

• "I have a marble for you."

This should be just enough Aether to finish off the Pauldrons.

Well, I can't be certain; who knows. Aether is a tricky substance, especially when combined with metal.

I'm going to try combining it right now. If it's enough, then the Pauldrons are yours. Wear them with as much pride as I had making them!

Darkhum needed Aether energy to finish Laize's Pauldrons.

You got rid of Aether-rich creatures at the Abyssal Splinter and brought him Aether energy to complete the Pauldrons.
