You may have felt it already--the Aetheric Field put out by the Observatory is weakening.

If it weakens too much we risk another Balaur invasion.

Player: "How can we stop it?"

We can strengthen the field with high-purity Aether Gems. The best source for those is in the Abyss.

Perhaps you could go to Reshanta and collect them?

Player: Accept.

I'll send a message to Brigade General Calon telling him to expect you.

May Nezekan bless you.

Player: "Hold the Field until I return."

I received word from Atropos. The situation sounds dire.

Player: "We need Aether, and quickly."

I told Cymaon to prepare a shipment of Aether for you. That should be enough to hold the field in place, but if you need more, we'd be happy to provide it.

Player: "You have the gratitude of Theobomos."

You don't look like a Legionary. What business have you here?

Player: "I'm picking up that shipment."

Ah yes, here it is. Nothing but the highest-quality Aether to protect Elysea.

Should the Aetheric Field Observatories fall...no, let's not talk about it.

Player: "My thanks."

The Field still holds, but barely.

Player: "I have the Aether."

This is much more than I'd have asked for. I shall send a letter of thanks back to the Brigade General.

The Observatory is safe once again. At least, from the Balaur.
