Welcome, Player.

I need you to go to Convent of Marchutan immediately and meet Agehia, a Priest of Destiny.

The Priest serves Empyrean Lord Marchutan and requires assistance from a reliable Daeva.

Player: "Sounds like me."

We've foiled Beritra's plots a number of times in Atreia, but we need more information on Ide.

We have reason to believe that information can be found in Gelkmaros and other parts of Balaurea. This is where you come in.

Use the golden statue at the entrance of Vifrost Bridge and see Agehia for more information.

Player: "On my way."

You are Player.

What brings you here?

Player: "I was sent by Vidar."

Hmm, so you're the one Vidar has recommended? Typical...

Very well, I need you to investigate Ide for me.

Tigrina will help you to get to Balaurea. Go to Airship Dock and board the airship bound for Gelkmaros. Now go, I'm done with you.

Player: "Glad to help..."

You're the Daeva heading to Gelkmaros?

I hope you know what you're getting into. It is a land that degrades the spirit.

Prepare yourself. The airship will depart soon.

Player: "I'm ready to go."

Not dissuaded?

I'll see how you fared when you board for the return trip, assuming you survive.

Use the Boarding Warden and you'll be on your way.

Player: "I'll see you on my return."

I have been watching your progress.

Nice to meet finally meet you. I am Richelle, Lord Marchutan's Agent.

Player: "And you as well."

As you carve a path through this land, remember what it is to be a Daeva.

The light of Aion will be the only thing shining upon your path.

Player: "Understood."

Dragon Lord Tiamat once ruled over these lands, but now it rests in Asmodian hands.

Crowns and titles change at the thrust of a blade or the calling of time.

This is a lesson the Elyos press upon us every day. Go see Merhen and learn more about your duties here.

Player: "On my way."

Welcome. I am Merhen.

Hogidin and I are in charge of working out strategies for occupying Gelkmaros.

If you don't mind, I'd like to give you a briefing on our situation.

Player: "Brief away."

Despite the fall of Tiamat, we've been having difficulties advancing into Tiamaranta due to Elyos resistance.

To make matters more problematic, we've received intel that Dragonbound and Tiamat's remnants have both acquired Ide devices.

Go see Hogidin and get a more in-depth idea of what's going on here.

Player: "Right away."

Merhen must have sent you over to me.

I'll answer questions after I'm done briefing you.

Player: "Understood."

The importance of this intelligence cannot be overstated.

If the Elyos ever get wind of our strategy, our hold here will be wiped clean.

The best way to get to Levinshor is by capturing the fortress in Gelkmaros. However, the Balaur will not give it up easily. Be prepared.

Player: "Why is Levinshor important?"

It's a sure path into Inggison. Up until now, we've been able to use Silentera Canyon, of course, but Levinshor is a much cleaner way into our enemy's territory.

Now go to Valetta and tell him I told you what to do.

Player: "Blood for blood."

This land is harsh and unforgiving, but Aion shines a light on all our paths. We cannot afford to lose our resolve.
