Mastarius was very impressed by your actions in defending Gelkmaros. He mentioned you by name, not just to me but also to Lord Marchutan himself.

There are whispers in Pandaemonium of special recognition for all of you who fought there. I must say I'm a bit envious.

Player: "I...don't know what to say."

With the Elyos dazed from their defeat at your hands, we have the perfect chance to turn the tables and invade Inggison.

Can we count on your aid? I've been told to offer an item to enchance the power of your Polearm.

Player: Accept.

I can see the praise is well-deserved. I hope you still have the energy and strength to succeed.

You must defeat the Guardian Generals of the Temple of Scales and Altar of Avarice.

Once those fortresses are ours, Inggison cannot be far behind. May the shadows watch over you.

Player: "Blood for blood!"

This is an exciting time. But we must not let our guard down; the Elyos may be fools, and the Balaur may be evil, but neither of them are weak.

Nor are they as strong as proud Asmodians, however. The shadow of defeat, so quickly turned into the promise of victory.... You have done well.

Do you have Athana's Polearm? Empowering it is your ultimate reward, after all.

Player: "I still have it."

Didn't I give you the polearm? Perhaps I was mistaken.

I don't doubt your power. But I'm afraid my reward is reserved for the one who wields Athana's Polearm.

Please understand. I'll find some other way to repay your courage.

Player: "Think nothing of it."

Do you not have the polearm that I gave you, Player?

I'm afraid that my promised reward will be useless without it.

If you don't have it, there's nothing more I can do. Please return should you find it again.

Player: "I will, at once."

I'm glad. It still feels odd to have my name on a weapon. Lord Marchutan's faith in me is humbling.

But our ultimate goal is the complete demoralization of the Elyos. Everything else is a means to an end.

I shall consult to see if our purpose has been achieved. If it has, I shall give you the enhancing material at once.
