How do you feel since you arrived in Balaurea?

Since you know nothing yet, you might be uncertain or anxious.

But if you have the will, you’ll be able to settle into Balaurea step by step.

First, however, there is a task you must complete.

• You keep listening.

Do you know what an Obelisk is?

If you register the Obelisk as a bind point, you can find and restore your body and soul at that registered bind point during a mission, even in times of danger.

If you undertake dangerous tasks in future, it’s advisable to know in advance how to use the Obelisk.

There is an obelisk in this town. Meet the soul healer Matias and then register the Inggison Illusion Fortress Obelisk as a bind point.

After you have registered the obelisk... Yes, meet the information advisers; they will inform you about the situation in Inggison.

• You end the conversation.

Note: Accept the first mission in Inggison and complete it.

You are new to me.

You look tired.

• How’s Inggison? Is there much to do?

There’s great chaos in Inggison because order has collapsed.

But the healing of the souls of many Daevas is my duty and my pride.

Even though the situation is difficult, I intend to heal the souls of many here without causing trouble.

If you also require soul healing, come to me anytime.

Oh, before that you should register the obelisk. Please register the Inggison Illusion Fortress Obelisk.

• You end the conversation.

I’ve been preparing for your arrival.

Ah, I suppose you haven’t spoken to Agent Outremus yet.

Well, that’s all right. Now that you’ve come to Inggison, the training here will be useful to you in many ways, Daeva.

I’ll explain the current situation in Inggison to you.

If it’s all right with you, I’ll get started.

• You keep listening.

Tiamat’s territory expands day by day.

Besides Inggison, which we have taken, Gelkmaros, held by the Asmodians, and Tiamaranta, the realm of Tiamat, the Balic Treasury and Terra Teva... more and more hidden areas are being discovered.

When the great Empyrean Lord Kaisinel came to this land, the Daevas believed their prayers had been answered. And truly, they advanced to Angrief and began using aether like never before.

But the Daevas still could not advance to Tiamaranta and were disheartened.

This is getting a bit long. Go now to Nydrea. I will tell you more there.

• You end the conversation.

Greetings, Daeva.

I am a Nydrea. Together with Steropes I am responsible for the records of the Battle of Inggison.

What I am about to tell you is strictly confidential. Especially if Asmodians infiltrate the ranks, even this fortress could be endangered, so you must maintain absolute secrecy.

Can you promise that?

• You keep listening.

This is top secret... We are preparing to deploy the battleship Somnium to pursue Tiamat and push into Tiamaranta.

Some preparations are already in place, but as this is an operation across space and time, only handpicked, first-class Daevas will be taken.

For Daeva it may still seem early, but only with a great goal can one grow. And growth requires competition.

Do you understand now why I called it top secret?

Everyone wants to go to Tiamaranta, but if it became known that not everyone can go, the still-growing Daevas could be threatened by rivals… Therefore strict secrecy must be maintained.

• You nod.

Do you have any other questions?

It doesn’t have to be now. If you think of something later, just come back. I will explain it to you as often as you like.

Because of the overall situation in Inggison, go to Steropes.

Since there was also a special order from Agent Outremus, Daeva, I will tell you everything without reservation.

• You keep listening.

How about you check the situation of the inhabitants of the Inggison Illusion Fortress yourself?

Let’s see, at the moment Jondas should have some time.

First, meet Jondas and take a look at the inhabitants of the Illusion Fortress.

• You end the conversation.

Do you need my help with something?

Sorry, but that’s a bit difficult right now.

I’m quite busy with the Inggison Outpost at the moment.

• What’s the problem?

While you are supporting the Inggison Outpost, you must be very busy, right?

The duties in this fortress are demanding, and now I’m expected to look after another fortress. How could I not be busy?

You’d need twice as many people, twice the resources, everything doubled, but reality is different.

The Brigade General did tell me to do a good job, and it’s nice that he trusts me, but in practice that places quite a burden on me.

Oh, that was meant to be a secret.

• You end the conversation.

I’ve heard that you’ve brought people from Sanctum.

Ah, yes. You’ve led a detachment from Sanctum here. Nice to see they have a few Daevas to spare for our little corner of the world.

• Certainly not that insignificant.

You’re right... and that’s part of my problem.

Actually someone has been wronged, but I don’t have time to pursue it.

There have been a few incidents lately; if I’m constantly hearing one injustice or another, there is hardly time to even deal with the injustice affecting Clodia.

If you have some time, would you meet this woman in my stead?

• You keep listening.

Hm, you must have come at Reemul’s request.

No wonder you took so long to arrive...

• You ask if you can help in any way.

Ah, I see. Could you do me a small favour?

To check whether the obelisk is functioning properly, you must examine the water in its vicinity.

You could check the obelisks individually, but this is much more convenient.

• You keep listening.

Since you need to examine the aether, please fill a glass bottle with some water.

If nothing unusual is found in the analysis, the problem lies with the receiver. Then you must repair the obelisk immediately.

Here, I’ll give you an empty glass bottle. Take water from Obelisk Valley and bring it to Veloso.

• You end the conversation.

Ah, at last! The water from Obelisk Valley has arrived.

By examining this water we can determine exactly what the environment in the Calmheart Grove is like and what condition the obelisk is in.

• You keep listening.

(Shake the glass bottle, inspect it here and there, smell it.) Hmm. I see.

Certain phenomena in the water are very noticeable, so the obelisk still appears to be functioning properly.

Nicely done!

• You keep listening.

Hmm, the analysis is complete, but isn’t this water a bit peculiar?

There was recently an aether contamination in the southern Calmheart Grove. Could it have reached this far?

The name of this Elim is Tramis.

I’m counting on you.

• You end the conversation.

My roots have been anchored deep within this earth since time eternal.

There were many Elim in the time when Atreia was still fertile.

I can no longer bear it; when misfortune strikes...

• (You sniff at the water in the empty glass bottle.)

(He weeps and sobs) Oh, oh, oh...

Come, scent of heated aether.

Because of it I felt strengthened; apart from the sick Taloc and myself, no living being could be found.

There are still many problems, but they have not been solved.

• I will solve the problem.

It has become an indelible wound, the death of companions. I too will soon vanish, but...

Yet there is hope, if only the sick Taloc were to come back to life.

That means it must be eliminated, the Greenwood Sludger that are making the Taloc ill.

• You end the conversation.

You're still here!

How about bringing water from the Obelisk Valley to the Elim?

• Report on the outcome.

Hm, if only the sick Taloc were revived, the Elim might also recover.

For that, we must manage the obelisks all the more carefully.

That is good news.

Well, please report it to Versetti.

• You end the conversation.

Are you the newcomer who has joined Inggison?

Oh! How are you feeling after joining?

• You say that you don't know yet.

The ability is quite useful in its own way.

Since this is your first time in Balaurea, it’s understandable that you don’t know much about it.

In any case, welcome, Daeva.

You advanced into Balaurea, met the agent, and registered the obelisk.

Afterwards you informed the Crisis Consultants about the situation and checked which inhabitants still remain in the Illusion Fortress.

You also recovered items for the obelisk’s reconstruction from the Obelisk Valley and brought them for the obelisk’s repair.

In the process you assisted Tramis from the Sanctum and reported to Versetti, the Brigade General of the Wisplight Legion.
