Well, the first step is to taste it. Just a drop.

Don't worry, I've built up an immunity to most poisons.

Hmmm.... There is something interesting about this. Could it be...?

Player: "Could it be WHAT?"

It's hard to believe, but they really put Aether in it. You see, the fastest way to absorb the power of Aether is to ingest Odium.

But since Odium is quite toxic, most people would die before they even swallowed it.

The Krall have fierce constitutions, but even they would have to dilute it in order to survive drinking it.

It would explain why they've suddenly become stronger.

Player: "This seems...bad."

It is definitely bad. I must report this to the Fortress right away.

First, deliver this potion to Aurelius in Eltnen Fortress. He knows a lot about these things, so he should be able to identify the ingredients and ratios used.

When he's done, tell him to report his findings to the Commander. This should be his highest priority.

Player: Accept.

Go to Eltnen Fortress without delay, and meet Aurelius.

If we don't hurry, the Krall may soon have power equal to a Daeva!

All Elysea would be in danger. So please, hurry!

Player: "I shall be the swiftest wind."

I have been waiting for a message from the Observatory for a while.

Tumblusen seems to have found some clues.

If you have anything for me, produce it at once.

Player: "I have this sample for you."

This is a serious problem. I thought Odium was only used for opening an Abyss Gate. I'll analyze this potion and get back to the Commander with the results.

Here, the Commander asked me to give you this when you arrived, Player.

Thank you.
