I have received urgent dispatches from the Eltnen Observatory and Sataloca's Tomb.

They both felt a suspicious flow of Aether--as if an Abyss Gate had opened.

You know what this means, Player.

Player: "Balaur."

The Gate must be sealed. Take the Abyss Gate Key.

But before you go to the Kaidan Headquarters, meet with Mabangtah.

Mabangtah doesn't want the Kaidan tribe to be subjugated by the Balaur. He will do his best to help you.

Player: "I shall do that."

Once you pass through the Abyss Gate, you should meet up with our advance forces on the other side. They'll appraise you of the situation.

I will pray to the Empyrean Lords that we can stop the Balaur.

Player: "Aion watch over us."

Mabangtah feel something change in the air. White wing know?

Player: "The Abyss Gate has opened."

No! White wing close gate! White wing take Mabangtah's Secret Remedy.

White wing take in time of need! Mabangtah teleport white wing to Abyss Gate now.

Player: "Thank you for the aid."

What delayed you? The situation grows more dire each passing minute.

Player: "I came as swiftly as I was able."

I have been blocking the gate to the Balaur world, but I cannot hold it shut much longer.

With your help, I can destroy it completely. I shall let them open the gate, and then work on destroying it.

You must defend me against the Balaur that shall pour through. Stop them, no matter what.

Player: "I will slay them in Sanctum's name."

Thanks be to Lady Ariel! We did it! The gate is destroyed!

Eltnen is safe, for now. I shall send you back to Brigade General Telemachus, that you may tell him the joyful news.

Player: "Then I bid you farewell."

You came back. The Abyss Gate must be destroyed, then.

Player: "After a great effort, yes."

It sounds like a battle for the ages!

The Balaur are stepping up their efforts to reclaim this world. I suspect they will try again, elsewhere.

Your task is done for now, Player. I shall send warnings to the other Fortresses, let them know the Balaur could be coming for them.
