Those strange dreams we talked about, Player...seems they're passing around here like a plague. Nightmares everywhere!

Corrupting our unconscious minds, they are! Even I had one after touching that blasted Fake Stigma!

Player: "Creepy dream, huh?"

Worst nightmare I ever had! I heard voices and screams...but didn't see any faces.

But I do remember hearing the name "Kromede" shouted a lot. It got me thinking...there's this Asmodian named Kromede the Corrupt at the Fire Temple in Asmodae.

I'm thinking that there might be some connection...a rift between reality past and present. Would you look into this matter a little more closely? You seem to have the right mind for it.

Player: Accept.

I think the best approach would be to investigate this nightmare first, then see what hold it has on reality.

Take passage to Arbolu's Haven and find the Daeva of Dream Reading, Raninia. She's the master at interpreting dreams.

Here...take this Fake Stigma with you. Show it to her. See what she has to say about it.

Player: "The mystery unravels."

I received a message from Brigade General Perento about your arrival, Player.

You've brought an item that makes you have nightmares?

Please, let me see....

Player: "Here's the Fake Stigma."

Yes, yes...a Fake Stigma. Looks almost identical to a real one.

Let me crawl into the deep recesses of my mind...and see if I receive the nightmare as well.

This shouldn't take very long.
