I know you want me to leave this place, but I know the Empyrean Lord is coming. I won't leave and miss this opportunity.

But I'll make you a deal.

Player: "What kind of deal?"

I've learned things here in Beluslan and would like to get this information to certain people but--as you know--I'm waiting on someone.

If you convey a message for me, your Archon of Dusk won't hear another peep out of me about the thirteenth Empyrean Lord.

What do you say? Deal?

Player: Accept.

There's an alchemist in Morheim named Kistig. He's not in hiding or anything--you should be able to find him without much trouble.

When you find him, tell him--and this is important, say these words exactly--"The shadow came to Beluslan."

That may not make any sense to you, but trust me, it will to him. Kistig will know what to do next. And he may need your help. But don't talk to anyone--not even your Archon of Dusk--about this.

Player: "All right."

What brings you here?

If you want potions, I can't do that right now. My laboratory is riddled with trouble, and I can't work.

But if you help me out with my laboratory...

Player: "The shadow came to Beluslan."

What? Vigbir sent this message, didn't he?

Anyway, I understand. This is important information. And a serious problem.

Can I ask you to do me a favor? No, I'm not going to ask you to solve all my problems. I just want you to relay the same message to another member of...uh...another friend,Ulut. You'll find him in the Apellbine Tavern in Pandaemonium.

Player: "Oh. I can do that."

Well, hello. Aren't you afraid of me like all the other little Daevas?

Because I'm outspoken, everybody avoids me as if I had the plague.

You took a gamble talking to me...if you came here to learn how to gamble, I can help you out.

Player: "The shadow came to Beluslan."

Are you serious? Beluslan? Who told you this? Vigbir? Kistig? Okay. Thank you for delivering this information.

I should go to the Capitol Building and tell this to Traufnir. But if I go, that will attract attention.

Hey, can I ask you to do it? Just repeat those same words to him.

Player: "Sure, I'm getting good at it."

You don't seem to have come here to learn a skill... So, what brings you here, Player?

Player: "The shadow came to Beluslan."

Beluslan? Vigbir must have sent you.

Thank you for letting me know about this. Tell Vigbir I'll arrange the meeting.

Player: "No secret code words?"

You've returned, Player.

Did you find Kistig? Did you tell him the message?

Player: "Traufnir will arrange a meeting."

Oh, you must have traveled all the way to Pandaemonium! Thank you for doing all that.

You must wonder about my cryptic message. However now is not your time to hear it. In time, you will find out the truth and attain enlightenment. You'll be able to join us then.

I can't stay here anymore anyway, because you told the Archon of Dusk that I was waiting here for the thirteenth Empyrean Lord. I'll find another place that the thirteenth Empyrean Lord will appear, and wait there.
