Strength or prowess in battle aren't the only things you need to be one of Lord Marchutan's Iron Maces.

If you truly wish to become one us, Player, you must look deep within yourself. Question your desires and ambitions.

When you are ready to accept this responsibility, go and see Fachmann. He will assist you.

Player: Accept

True devotion means being willing to give up everything, to put a person or a cause before yourself.

It's not something that can be taught, because there is no one answer. The idea of "giving up everything" is different for every person.

I cannot give you the answer, because there isn't one. But I can guide you into finding your own answer, yourself.

Player: "I understand."

The burden of responsibility is a heavy one to bear. But carrying the weight will eventually, like anything, make you stronger.

In light of this, the Marchutan's Iron Maces would like to help you with a piece of Daevanion gear. Since we've discussed the weight of responsibility resting on your shoulders, let's get a tad literal and craft you some fine shoulder armor.

In order to craft the Daevanion spaulders, you'll need the Marchutan's Pattern of Devotion, the Pernon's Dew, the Spring Agrint Leaf, and the Winter Agrint Leaf. Got it?

Player: "Got it!"

I already told you what you need for the Daevanion spaulders, right?

They are the Marchutan's Pattern of Devotion, the Pernon's Dew, the Spring Agrint Leaf, and the Winter Agrint Leaf.

Do you have everything we need?

Player: "Yes, I do."

Ah, Hikait will be able to help you get an Engraving of Devotion.

Player: "Right, got it."

Pernon's Dew is, as the name would suggest, extracted from the Pernon's Dew plant that grows in Pernon, Beluslan, and Gelkmaros.

You'll need an Altare Glass Bottle, and you must be an expert at Essencetapping.

Player: "Got it."

You can get the Spring Agrint Leafs and the Winter Agrint Leafs from, as their names would suggest, Spring Agrints and Winter Agrints.

Both kinds of Agrints appear in the region of Pernon, and--as you may or may not have been able to guess--Spring Agrints appear only during the day, while Winter Agrints... I hope I don't have to explain further.

Player: "Right, right, got it."

You've gathered all of the materials!

They're all here, intact, and nothing is missing...

Honestly, I'm impressed.

Player: "Uh, thanks."

You look determined, Player. Good. That is a quality highly valued among those of the Iron Mace, and one that must have served you well when gathering the materials.

The Engraving of Devotion is blessed to support such qualities, as well... It strengthens what is already within you.

Now then, I'll get started on this for you.

Player: "Thank you."

(Fachmann is deftly carving the Engravings of Devotion on the spaulders.)

(A silvery light glows brilliantly along the flowing lines before slowly fading, vanishing into the material.)

Player: "Impressive."

Here you are!

Take these to Agent Skuldun for the ritual.

The divine energy that has accumulated in your body and mind throughout your life as a Daeva will become one with the Daevanion spaulders. When the ritual ends, you will have a piece of finely-crafted equipment that will last you all your life, Player.

Player: "Thank you!"

(Skuldun closes his eyes and raises his hands.)

(With a flare of heat, glowing tendrils of light move outward from your body, reaching towards Skuldun's fingers.)

(Guided by Skuldun, the mass of energy floats over and into the Daevanion spaulders.)

May you shrug off all weariness and negativity, and walk your path with confidence!
