Whoa...! By Aion's tower!

What's happened to you? This place getting to you? I almost attacked you--I thought you were one of the cursed undead roaming around outside the base!

Maybe you should rest...

Player: "Thank you for that. I heard you sent for me..."

Pardon me, I've been dealing with Undead Drakans... it makes me forget my manners.

I sent for you because I heard that you're a capable Daeva who, with Mosphera, proved that the Undead Drakans, including Aetheric Field Watchers, are minions of Tiamat.

Since then, we've carried out a thorough investigation of our own and discovered that Tiamat's Aetheric Field Defenders are motivated only by their duty to defend Tiamat's ruins.

Player: "And you've called me because...?"

Because we dispatched a Balaur Expert to the ruins, to find out what they are and why the Aetheric Field Defenders are protecting them, but she lacks field experience and seems to be having some trouble.

I want you to give her a hand.

Defeat the Aetheric Field Guards outside the base and meet my daughter... I mean, Euvia, out there. Then investigate what the Balaur are up to.

Player: "So much for that rest..."

Whoa! Stop! Oh... I thought you were a cursed ghost, maybe one who just crawled out from a grave.

Sorry, please excuse me. You just... startled me. You must be the helper my fath... I mean, Captain Eukraton sent. I told him I could take of it myself, but he just wouldn't believe me.

What are you holding in your hand?

Player: "I have this document..."

This is... wow. It's a document written in the old Balaur language! Where did you find this?

Hmm.... But it's written in a code and won't be easy to decipher. Do you mind waiting for a while until I find out what it says?

Player: "Not at all. Apparently I could use the rest."

Aetheric Field...? Is this stone in the old language? Sea... Seal... What does it mean? Tia... mat's central... Aetheric Field Stone...? Forever even in death...

Ah, wait, just a moment. I think I'll be able to finish deciphering it in a moment. Please wait just a bit more!

Player: "Take your time."

Let's see now... sunk the continent for... never see the sun again... No one ever will... for Lord Tiamat...?

This document seems like an old order that Tiamat tried to send someone. Here, look at this deciphered document.

Player: "Let's have a look..."

What do you think?

It orders the recipient to protect the Aetheric Field Stones found in various parts of the continent. They're sealing stones that Tiamat made for a special reason. The biggest and the most important of all the sealing stones seems to be the Aetheric Field Stone of Earth.

Player: "That's nearby."

Please examine Aetheric Field Stone of Earth. We must find out what Tiamat's seal was for!

Player: "Yes, we must. Or, I must."

The Stones that the Aetheric Field Defenders are protecting are actually sealing stones placed by Tiamat? And it was to sink the whole continent in order to hide something?

Then the reason Beritra raised Cygnea and destroyed the sealing stones must have been to locate Tiamat's secret treasure!

By the sun! I don't know what Tiamat tried to hide, but it must be something extraordinary for Beritra to desire it so. We need to make this a priority. Thank you for obtaining this important information for us.
