I do not know if your interests lie in matters such as this... but I believe this is worth noting, as I've noticed your people find it difficult to adapt to an environment lacking Aether. For some time now, I've been conducting research and attempting to find ways to replenish Aether in places where it is scarce.

We Reians discovered a way to survive on Drana, but only after much training and research. And we don't believe that it's a solution to the problem...

As we're born from Aion, there'll come a time when we must return to Aether... I share this out of my concern for your people. So you will not endure the same torment we have suffered. If you can bring me some Highland Malodor Seeds, I can demonstrate an interesting experiment for you.

Player: Accept

Galam, Player. Did you bring the seeds?

I chose Malodor because they grow very well on barren lands, and are an ideal species for this experiment.

Player: "Are these sufficient?"

Yes. This should be enough.

Wait a moment.

It won't take long.

Player: "Sure."

There. It is done.

The Improved Highland Malodor Seeds will release Aether energy during the day, albeit in small amounts.

That is, if this experiment is successful. Would you like to take these and plant them near Varla?

Player: "If that's what you'd like me to do."

I see.

It seems that Malthorn's experiment has succeeded, to a degree.

The actual result isn't very promising, but it provides a glimpse of hope. Perhaps, in time, we will be able to say we saw the beginning of what became a significant breakthrough.
