My spies have been exhausting themselves, but it finally paid off... We can confirm, for certain, that Beritra is headed to Drakenspire Depths. The Dragon Lord has a lot of squads to organize, a lot of people to move... An army that big will take longer to mobilize.

We've decided to form a small, elite group to catch up to them. I've spent the last little while looking for recommendations for the team, and I can't say I'm surprised that nearly everyone I talked to mentioned you.

What do you think, Daeva? Want to join the Aequis Blades? Just go talk to Nostibas--I'll tell him you're coming.

Player: Accept

Yes, what? ...Oh, you're the one Aithria sent, aren't you? Everyone's been singing your praises, Player. Forgive me if I don't join in the chorus. If you want your shot at a solo, you'll have to do the warm-ups first.

Go hunt down Sand Mane Seagrics in the Wailing Dunes. If you survive, you can join us.

What do you say, Player? Ready to prove your worth, or are you gonna start singing a different tune?

Player: "Okay, I'll do it! Just stop with the metaphors..."

Wh--...what? So fast? I... I didn't have time to come up with another metaphor.

I guess that means you're in, then! Congratulations!
