I've been looking into the hidden treasure chambers, Daeva, and think I might have stumbled across something interesting.

This is what we know--every Fortress in Reshanta has a treasure chamber, but the chambers in the Krotan, Kysis and Miren Fortresses are larger.

I believe the Balaur could be using those chambers for research, or perhaps to hide something from us.

• "Like what?"

I have no idea. I'm a simple teleporter, Daeva. I have no combat experience, nor in-depth knowledge on Balaur tactics.

However, I do hear things. And I do know that Krotan, Kysis and Miren Fortresses also have rooms that can only be entered with a specific key. These rooms are constantly guarded by fearsome Balaur warriors, each of whom are said to carry a certain stone on them.

These stones might be the key to their movements. They've been seen entering rooms through locked doors, and I think those stones may be the answer.

• "I see."

A mysterious room connected magically to the fortress, and Balaur soldiers who possess Rift Stones...

Doesn’t that sound familiar?

Those soldiers might hold clues to the corridors!

It makes me curious.

Daeva, can you get the Rift Stones for me when you enter the Krotan, Kysis and Miren Chambers?

I’ll give you a fitting reward.

• Accept.
• Decline.

This is a major boon for the Elyos.

If we learn how to use the Balaur’s teleportation methods, we can prevent them from entering the Chambers.

The Ranx Patrol Legate, Ranx Deathbow, Ranx Scout Captain have the Round Rift Stones, while the Flat Rift Stones are carried by Ranx Archmages, Ranx High Mage and Ranx Deathbringers.

Finally, the Ranx Sartip, Ranx Medico and Ranx Quaestor have the Sharp Rift Stones.

Give how the Chambers are constructed, you won’t be able to meet all these soldiers at once. You’ll need to collect the Rift Stones in stages.

• "I'll see what I can find."

Travel to the Krotan Chamber, Kysis Chamber and Miren Chamber and collect the Rift Stones as per Tellus’ instructions.

Weapons and armour are important. Of course they are, but when our enemies can move undetected thanks to technology, then we must understand that too.

You can't fight what you can't see, and the Balaur are moving about almost at free will at the moment.

Have you brought the stones?

• "Yes. Here."

No, this isn’t right.

Remember, I wanted flat stones, round stones, and sharp stones.

There’s no point in me starting my tests with an incomplete sample, is there? Hurry and fetch the others!

I’m counting on you.

• "I'll go now."

Perfect!

I'll get started right away. The sooner we can figure this technology out, the better.

Thank you, Daeva. Here's your reward!

Tellus thought that he might be able to figure out the Balaur teleportation paths if he were able to obtain the Rift Stones.

You decided to help, and went to the Krotan Chamber, Kysis Chamber and Miren Chamber and collected the Rift Stones.
