What a surprise... Beritra's learned a new trick. Apparently, he has the ability to use a long-range mind control. Fun! When you are under the mind domination of Beritra, you lose your sense of judgment and are driven to do his bidding. That's why the Embercrack minions in Drakenspire Depths weren't able to stop the Dragon Lord from reaching Agony's Well.

Upon death, anyone under the domination radiates an ominous darkness. If we can extract this essence from them, I think we might be able to find a way to release his victims.

Player, take down the dominated minions in Drakenspire Depths and obtain the Essence of Domination. Then bring it to Aithria so we can free the our friends from the Dragon Lord's spell.

Player: Accept

The only way to release someone from Beritra's mind domination is death. Well, the only way we know of, that is.

If we can somehow obtain the Essence of Domination, we can start researching ways to neutralize it...

Player: "Well, then let's start!"

Is this the Essence of Domination from the minions in Drakenspire Depths?

This doesn't look very magical, or even significant...

Let me have a closer look.

Player: "Be my guest."

Hmm... I wonder if this really serves as the key to Beritra's mind domination...

I'll ask the Daeva of Detoxification and a few other experts to analyze it so we can try to find a solution.

Thank you, Player. This isn't much, but here.
