Story

The offer

The Mist Mane Mau must have done something terrible.

Tyr, the protector of the Aetheric Field, reported a dangerous vortex in the Mist Mane Village.

The intensity of the vortex concludes that it's an Abyss Gate.

We should have killed those blasted Mist Mane Mau before they could join forces with the Balaur.

  • "What? How?"

How is not important. It has happened. Now we survive and succeed at the next test.

It is unfortunate that the Mist Manes defeated the Silver Mane Tribe. If the tribes were still warring, the Mau could never have opened the Abyss Gate.

That's why I called you. I think you are the only person in Morheim capable of this assignment.

  • "What are my orders?"

Journal

Order: It seems the Mist Mane Mau have opened the Abyss Gate. Go to General Aegir to receive your mission.

Along the way

Take the Key of Aether. It is the one you brought back, tied to the Abyss Gate.

Go to the Mist Mane village, and meet with Taisan, an Elim disguised as a Gnarl.

That Mau you reported should still be inside the gate. Work with it to block the Balaur.

The future of Morheim is on your shoulders. No matter what, you must succeed.

  • "I will not fail."

What brings you here, Daeva? This...is no place for you.

Tell me...what the matter is.

We should...not be seen...talking.

  • "The time has come for action."

An enemy of Atreia...is an enemy...of the Elim.

Though we are...dying...I will not stand apart...and watch Atreia collapse.

Take...this dried root of mine. Eat it. Your defenses...will strengthen...enough to complete your task.

  • "Thank you. Be strong."

Kikannnnanta? Nnnno...you...do not smell right. A...Daevvvva thennnn...come to address the gate.

The hunnnnt...continues. I bllllock...the gate with...my mmmmagic...but the Balaur will soon brrrreak through.

They arrrre...too strrrrong...for me alone. But...togetherrrr...we can succeed.

  • "Tell me what to do."

The Balaurrrr...willlll come thrrrrough....the moment I remove the seal. You mmmmust...stalllll theirrrr advance...while I direct my full powerrrr...towards the gate.

You should...prrrrotect mmmme...until I destroy it completely.

Prrrrepare yourrrrself...Daeva. When...you are rrrready...we will fight!

  • "I'm ready!"

Forrrrtune...has smmmmiled...on us today! The gate...is no more.

I willlll...stand herrrre...against the day...when the Mist Mane and Balaur try again.

Enough of...my powerrrr...remains to return you to your fortress. Telllll themmmm....how we hunted. Arrrre you...ready?

  • "I am. I will not forget you."

Daeva! Where did you come from?

You've accomplished your mission, haven't you? Tell me what happened to the Abyss Gate.

Was that Mau there? Quickly, give me your report!

  • "Her name is Kargate. Remember it!"

Reward

The Silver Mane Mau. So different than I was told. Thanks to them, we blocked the Abyss Gate.

I will report this to Pandaemonium right away, exactly as you have told it to me. Everyone will know of your deeds. And theirs.

You have more than earned this reward, Daeva.

Completion

Aegir said the Mist Mane Mau seemed to have opened an Abyss Gate. He gave you the key and told you to go to the Mist Mane village to block the Abyss Gate. On the way, Taisan gave you a desiccated root to boosts your defence.

You entered the Abyss Gate and met Kargate, Prophet of the Silver Mane Tribe. Kargate was blocking the Balaur from coming through but needed to destroy the Gate. So you took care of the advancing Draconutes and Nagas while Kargate destroyed the gate with magic.

After destroying the gate, you reported back to Aegir. He praised you and said that he would report the result to Pandaemonium right away.
