Player, I must call for your help once more. Agent Killios was the strongest of the Empyrean Lord's four wings. I want you, Player, to fill the void left by his death.

It is a heavy burden to bear. Few knew of Killios's bravery, but his actions saved countless innocents.

I am tasked to find his replacement, and you are my first and only choice. Are you willing to take his mantle?

Player: Accept

To become an Empyrean Lord's Protector, you will need to craft yourself soul-infused gear. It is a very personal process that you must complete on your own.

Some Daevas find the process too extreme and demanding. I trust you will be up to the task.

For now, go talk with Epaion.

Player: "Thank you."

Player, I have waited long for your arrival. I mourn Killios with every breath. You truly want his mantle? Are you not afraid of falling to the same fate?

You may have heard of or admired Daevanion gear, but know now that it comes at a heavy price. The term "soul-infused" is not a flowery metaphor, Daeva.

Player: "Tell me more."

Daevanion gear is made by imparting a bit of the user's soul into a material. You may think your shoes fit well now, but they are nothing more than their materials.

Your Daevanion gear will respond to you, help you, empower you. When you die, your gear may go with you. Just like with the blessed Agent Killios...

Player: "I see."

As you may have gathered, this is not a simple process. First, we must retrieve a prototype. That's fairly painless.

Then, we must infuse the prototype. Agent Rike will help you with the soul infusion ritual.

Trust me... it's not as unpleasant as it sounds.


Player: "I see."

Let's start from the bottom, shall we? Imagine how fleet-footed you could be with soul infused soles. I will help you, but first you must find the materials.

You need to get a Kaisinel's Pattern of Perception, a Kaisinel's Pattern of Mobility, and a Kaisinel's Pattern of Endurance.

Potencia should help you find what you need. I'll tell her to expect you.

Player: "Goodbye."

We continue, once more, on your quest to fill Killios' shoes. First, we'll need three patterns in particular.

They are the Kaisinel's Pattern of Perception, the Kaisinel's Pattern of Mobility, and the Kaisinel's Pattern of Endurance.

Are you ready?

Player: "Yes."

Back so quickly with all three patterns? Impressive! You may not need these shoes after all!

I jest, of course. Daevanion shoes are absolutely mandatory here in the Wings. We wear only the best.

Wouldn't want to be mistaken for a legion of Half-Draks, now would we?

Player: "Of course."

Not only are these patterns fashionable, but they're blessed. We've spent years figuring out the designs and symbols. I wouldn't expect someone like you to appreciate this craftsmanship.

Now then, please wait a little while so I may work in peace. This isn't a simple process, Daeva.

Player: "Very well."

(Epaion deftly embroiders the three patterns on the shoe prototype. His fingers move quickly as his eyes narrow in concentration.)

(A golden light glows brightly along the patterns. Soon after, the light ebbs and fades away.)

Player: "Impressive."

I haven't worked that quickly in ages, especially with someone staring and breathing on me the entire time. My work is done, Daeva.

Take this fine foot gear to Agent Rike. She shall help you with the soul infusion.

Player: "Thank you."

(Rike closes her eyes and reaches out with her long fingertips while chanting a spell.)

(With a flare of scorching heat, glowing tendrils of light reach outward from your body to form a mass of energy in front of Rike's hands.)

(When Rike raises her hands, the mass of energy floats up and into the Daevanion shoes. You open your hands as the shoes float into your reach.)
