I'd been investigating two seemingly unrelated cases...only to find out today that they might be connected.

My first case involves missing Dukaki from the Dukaki Settlement. My lead suspects were the Krall...or so it seemed. My other case involves the underground distribution of Odella.

Two separate cases that...(whispering now) connect the Dukaki with the Skurvs. Someone is illegally producing and distributing Odium and Odella, and getting rid of anyone in their way.

Player: "You have facts...proof?"

Just eyewitness testimony and a hunch, Player. A big hunch, see. Someone big is behind this, because reports say that both Elysea and Asmodae are getting squeezed pretty hard.

And this latest report...this is what connected the two cases for me. Zephyros noticed something very suspicious at the Cantas Coast. If he's right, this goes beyond illegal Odium production.

Would you head to the Cantas Coast and confirm Zephyros's testimony? Keep your gleemers peeled for clues.

Player: Accept.

I've asked you to do this, Player, because I don't know how high up the ladder this conspiracy goes, see. I can't trust anyone else with this information.

If you smell a rat in Zephyros's testimony, do what needs to be done. But be sure first. Be like the wind and leave quietly.

Player: "I'll follow the clues."

You're here because of my report, Daeva? How do I know you're on the level? I don't know if I can trust you...but if Alisdair vouched for you, then I guess you're all right.

I'll cut to the chase. The other day, I found something suspicious as I was patrolling the Cantas Coast. Suspicious Odium. Here...look. Looks like regular Odium, right?

Wrong! Dead wrong! Take a closer look.... This Odium was made to extract Aether! It's not the method the Krall use. Someone with juice made this...someone with Kinah. Big Kinah.

Player: "You have a suspect?"

No suspects yet, Daeva. That's why Alisdair hired you...says you're one of the best. Says you can find a ray of light on a moonless night.

I know there's more clues around the Cantas Coast, where I found the counterfeit Odium...the dirty Odium. I took Notos into my confidence, asked him to help.... Hope you have better luck than him.

Oh...wait. There's a Shugo named Moorilerk who lives in the area. He might know a thing or two about it.

Player: "I'll have a talk with him."

(It's a green, glowing crystal with traces of artificial chemicals.)

(It appears to be the illegal Odium that Zephyros was talking about.)

(Take it with you for proof.)

Player: "Damn dirty Odium...he's right."

(It's a green, glowing crystal with traces of artificial chemicals.)

(It appears to be the illegal Odium that Zephyros was talking about. Take it with you.)

(You see a glittering patch in the distance...so investigate the Suspicious Relic Site.)

Player: "Very interesting...."

Daeva is not acquainted with Gestanerk, then? You're not going to kill Moorilerk? Do not know anything, honest, Daeva!

You have been trailing Moorilerk, yes? How long now, nyerk?

Do not know anything about Haramel. Moorilerk will not talk to Daeva! We Black Cloud Traders do not disclose information about partners, nyerk. So beat it!
