It's recommended that you receive some training so you can fight in Reshanta. Fighting inside the Abyss is vastly different from fighting on Atreia.

Once I've explained everything, you'll have a better grasp of what to expect and how to fight in the Abyss.

Player: "Oh yay."

I'll teach you about fortresses first and how you can capture them.

Then I'll teach you about the benefits of capturing a fortress.

These are very important lessons, so listen carefully.

Player: "Teach me all you know."

Now you know how to capture a fortress, yes?

Then next, we'll get you educated on some additional matters.

Go to Sileni and learn about the Aetheric Field surrounding each fortress.

Player: "Can I take a break?"

I got the message from Eulos. I will be explaining the Aerial Aetheric Field surrounding each fortress.

Player: "Knowledge is power, yes."

I hope you now have a complete understanding of Aetheric Fields.

The next thing you need to learn about are the Gates, the last means of a fortress' defense.

Please go to Adrastea.

Player: "Sure, I'll go."

Welcome, Player.

I will teach you about the Gates and the Gate Restoration Stones.

You must defend the Gates when you come under attack while holding down a fortress.

Player: "I'm listening."

Do you now understand all there is to know about the Gates, the Gate Restoration Stones, and Siege Weapons now?

You will become even more familiar with them once you've defended a fortress a few times.

Now then, please go and see Lachesis. He will tell you about the Guardian General.

Player: "Please, teach me more."

I've been waiting for you, Player.

Let me tell you about the Guardian General. It's the most important part of capturing a fortress.

Player: "Go on."

Do you understand now?

You must protect the Guardian General at all costs while defending a fortress. And on the flip side, you must defeat the Guardian General at all costs if you are attacking a fortress.

Next, you'll need to learn about the Artifact. Please go and see Erdias.

Player: "All right, got it."

We will skip the pleasantries.

I am going to teach you about the Artifacts.

They are formidable weapons that can instantly turn the tides while fighting over a fortress.

Player: "Interesting."

If you intend on capturing a fortress, you'd better have your Artifacts under control.

Capturing an Artifact isn't easy, but it's still easier than capturing a fortress.

Please go to Jenirius now to hear about Kisks.

Player: "Will I be tested on this?"

Do you know what a Kisk is? You probably don't, but you probably do know what an Obelisk is, I would think.

Don't their names sound similar? What else do you think might be similar?

Yes, that's correct. A Kisk does the same thing as an Obelisk.

Player: "Fascinating."

See now why Kisks are essential for battles in the Abyss? Deciding where to set up a Kisk and protecting it from enemy attacks are the first steps to victory.

Now there's just one more lesson.

Please go to Larentia and hear about Dredgion, the battleship of the Balaur.

Player: "Thanks."

My lecture on the Balaur Battleship Dredgion will be your final lesson.

Have you heard of a Dredgion before? I guess not. There are no Dredgions in Elysea, I suppose.

Player: "None that I've seen."

You've now finished your training.

Please go to the supply depot and see the quartermaster Claudia.

He will give you a useful item as a reward for completing your education.

Player: "Yes!"

Even though your lessons have been completed, you'll want to review them again. Just visit the instructors whenever you feel like you need to review.

And please, take this. It's a memento for completing your education.
