It's finally time. After all these years, all these centuries, we can finally fight back.

Before we enter, we must make sure we're prepared. We all saw what Tiamat did to your forces before. No-one could blame you that time, but if more lives are needlessly lost now, then that will be blood on your hands, friend.

You and I will scout the area and meet with the others already there, if they're still alive.

Player: "Sounds good."

So far, one Reian unit and one Asmodian unit have left for Tiamaranta's Eye. They will soon be joined by an elite Elyos unit.

I need you to go to Tiamaranta's Eye and join up with the Asmodian unit there. Your superiors sent the Fatebound Legion, led by Carnidae. It is she that you need to meet with.

I'll be leaving shortly myself to reinforce the Reian scout unit. Any questions?

Player: "None. See you when it's done."

Player. Take a knee.

Our scouts have found little so far. No sign at all of that blasted Dragon Lord! Maybe now, with you at our side, we'll have better luck, eh?

Now, I think we're best off starting here...

Player: "Wait. What's that?"

What in Siel's name happened?! Tell me now, Player, or hold your tongue forever more!

Player: "The Elyos attacked. We defended ourselves."

What?! Why did you not bind them until we could arrive?! How dare you risk everything that we've worked so hard for?

Your unrelenting anger will ruin not just your peace treaty but this war effort against Tiamat, too! Oh... if Tiamat could see this! His laughter would ring through all of Atreia!

And the timing! I am furious! The Balaur will arrive soon, so I'll keep my mouth shut for now, Player, but your people will pay for this!

Player: "I don't know what to say."

The Elyos and Balaur were fighting, and as you stepped in to fight, your warriors were cut down too?

This is terrible! The Balaur are not normally this strong, Player. If this is indicative of their general strength, then we need to rethink our entire strategy here.

I'll head back now, Player. I must report this to the council. In the meantime, the Balaur come. Prepare yourself.

Player: "I understand."

As you Asmodians say, blast.

We clearly need to prepare better before assaulting Tiamaranta's Eye. This will take time and considerable patience, and it will stretch your peace accord to its limits. I only pray that it holds.

Ah, I was to offer you a weapon for completing the task, but there's no sense in letting it go to waste. Please, take your pick, and know that we truly appreciate all that you've done.
