The Shadow Executor at the Desert Garrison has requested reinforcements. We cannot spare a single Archon to aid them, but I can't refuse his request.

Looks like you just volunteered for a job.

Player: "If that is what's needed..."

It is. Go to Desert Garrison and help Tofa with whatever he needs.

Now go.

Player: "If I must."

You're it? I was sure when I wrote the note I used the plural of "reinforcements".

Fine, you'll have to do.

There are Ancient Guardian Spirits all around here. Deal with them and recover our stolen gear.

Player: "Where did the spirits come from?"

They are Elyos Guardians who accidentally entered Asmodae through the Abyss a very long time ago. I believe they were known as the Storm Legion, led by Deltras.

When they realized that they were in Asmodae they tried to stay hidde, but to no avail. Lord Zikel found them in Morheim. He was merciful, and gave them the option of pledging themselves to him. Deltras, fool that he is, refused and sealed the fate of his troops...such arrogance.

They were justly executed, but their spirits refused to move on.

Player: "Interesting..."

The Elyos had been gathering weapons prior to their execution, perhaps to study them and provide an edge to the Elyos. We were never able to find where they were hidden, but recently I've noticed the spirits wielding them.

It was an empty task. Their spirits will never return, and shortly you will have our weapons back.

Player: "So I'm to fetch your equipment?"

The Ancient Guardian Spirit stole Archon armaments, and this is no small matter. Once you have returned the equipment, we will have you perform a ritual to banish the spirits permanently.

First, destroy Spectral Soldier, Spectral Warrior, and Spectral Mage, and retrieve Archon's Ancient Weapon.

Finally, vanquish Deputy Lamipedon, their leader. Obtain Archon's Ancient Armor from him and take it to Tofynir. Tofynir will tell you what your next task is.

Player: "Simple enough."

I assume you're here because you've banished the spirits?

If so, I expect you have the Archon's Ancient Weapon and Archon's Ancient Armor?

Player: "Of course."

You managed to recover the weapons and armor of the ancient Archons. I'm impressed.

A great weight has been lifted off my shoulders, as I thought these would be lost forever.

At least the Elyos spirits were foolish enough to show us where the weapons were. Their existence is finally given worth in assisting Asmodae, albeit indirectly.

Player: "Redemption for a tired soul."

The Elyos spirits won't stay banished forever, but now that you've slain them we can perform a warding ritual.

There is a large tower at Execution Ground of Deltras. It is the place where Deltras was executed, and is a focal point for spiritual activity.

Take this Herb of Repose with you and sprinkle it between the tower's two pillars. This ritual should quell their anger and keep them from reforming.

Player: "Let's get to it, then."

I appreciate you dedication to the mission.

Take this reward for your work.
