Erm... may I speak to you for a moment?

I was held captive at a place called the Manor of Illumination, and only managed to escape by the skin of my teeth.

The Manor of Illumination is a nightmare made real.

The Balaur there are doing everything in their power to confuse the Daeva they captured in Atreia in the hopes of completely controlling them.

I could tell there was something bad going on, but I was too weak to do anything on my own.

• You keep listening.

I tried to convince the other Daeva students, but the Balaur captured me shortly afterwards and locked me away.

I thought I was going to die there, but it turns out I’ll have a longer life than I thought.

Suddenly, there was an explosion at the manor, and I managed to use the chaos to escape.

But I know that not everyone was as lucky as I was.

After I escaped, I learned that many of the Daevas there were captured and tortured by Dyad, the dark mage of the manor.

Can you save my friends, do you think?

• Accept
• Decline

Really? Oh, I’m so grateful! Thank you for agreeing to help the Daevas.

Dyad might have looked like a Daeva while he was training the other Daevas in the Manor of Illumination, but he’s really a Balaur.

After the Manor of Illumination disappeared, he turned the outpost into the Occupied Tiamat Legion Fortress, tortured the Daevas, and called himself Arch Dyad.

He used potions to prevent the Daevas at the Manor of Illumination from focusing, so that he could control them. Now he uses even fouler tricks.

The Daevas that Arch Dyad is using have lost their sense of self and only listen to his orders now.

Please teach Arch Dyad, Lord of Arcane Magic, a lesson for hurting my friends.

• You end the conversation.

Mont, who managed to escape the Manor of Illumination, said that Arch Dyad had captured his friends and was torturing them. Defeat Arch Dyad, Lord of Arcane Magic, to rescue the Daevas.

Daevas keep going missing in Atreia.

There are rumours that the missing Daevas have been discovered here in Laphsaran. We’re currently trying to find out whether that’s true.

Most of the Daevas who have been found have lost some of their memories.

It seems to have something to do with Arch Dyad in the Occupied Tiamat Legion Fortress.

• You make your report about defeating Arch Dyad.

That Balaur was actually the one responsible for these horrific events.

I heard he was confusing and controlling Daevas. Did he cause you any problems?

I was worried that you might come under his control too if you weren’t careful, but thanks to you Daeva, everything has been dealt with quickly and cleanly.

Thank you so much for stepping in.

Mont managed to escape the Manor of Illumination, a place where the Balaur convince Daevas that lies are truth in order to control them. He asked you to help his friends. They were being held captive by Dyad.

Dyad turned his outpost into the Occupied Tiamat Legion Fortress in Laphsaran and started calling himself Arch Dyad. He used a host of foul tricks to steal away each captured Daeva’s sense of self and make sure they only listened to his commands.

You defeated Arch Dyad, Lord of Arcane Magic, returned to the garrison and reported back to the Scout Commander there, who thanked you for your efforts.
