I received a message from Notus Outpost asking for help.

I'm not surprised. Tiamaranta is such an important region that all our garrisons are shorthanded.

If you could go there and meet with Aethon, I'm sure you'd be well-compensated.

Player: Accept.

Where's the rest of... You're it? You're ALL the reinforcements I'm getting?! Shards... Well, you'll have to do.

I need you to go to the Rift Research Expedition. Look for Winbrey. He'll give you further orders.

And you tell Zas that when I say I need "more people," I need MORE PEOPLE! Not just one random Daeva who strolled past him!

Player: "Uh... I'll be going now."

You! What are you doing sneaking around here? Did Thaius send you?

If he did, tell him he's not getting my research! If he thinks he's going to steal my work, I'll...

Player: "No, no--Aethon sent me."

Aethon! Oh, well, that's different, then!

Sorry about my initial reaction. There are many threats out there besides Balaur.... Academic threats!

Welcome to my team, good Daeva! I'm sure I'll have plenty of work for you to do!
