The Archon's Shadow legions are researching different ways to use the Tower of Eternity fragments.

But the Elyos are interested in the fragments as well. Those cowardly scum are trying to disturb our research. Again and again they storm into Norsvold, trying to capture fragments of the Tower of Eternity.

After you talk to the Archon's Shadow legion, which is trying to stop the Elyos while also researching the fragments of the Tower of Eternity, I'd like you to bring me their research reports on the fragments.

Please help out in Northern Morninglight Fragment Excavation first and then talk to Bastok.

Player: Accept

Azphelumbra! Did Reinhardt send you? The battles between the Asmodians and the Elyos are especially fierce in this area. We barely have time for research.

Still, we've made a few fascinating discoveries. This Tower fragment's properties change depending on its surroundings or the concentration of Aether injected into it.

Here's a report for the Brigade General.

Next, go to Southern Morninglight Fragment Excavation and talk with Dagny. It's best if you go before the Elyos interrupt us again.

Player: "I will go at once."

Finally, someone to take my research to Reinhardt! We need to find out how to use the Tower fragments before the Elyos.

According to my research, Tower of Eternity fragments lose their properties after a long period of natural disintegration. They release enormous amounts of Aether into the surroundings during the process.

The Aether affects the nearby environment and life forms, causing changes to occur in a very short timeframe that would've otherwise taken a thousand years.

That's as far as I've gotten with my research. And here is a report that details my findings.

Next, go to Northern Tranquility Fragment Excavation and talk with Ziden please. The Elyos will be trying to stop you, so always be watchful.

Player: "Thanks for this."

The Elyos are turning this place into a battlefield, not that I mind a good fight.

I'm researching how to use the fragments of the Tower of Eternity, but I haven't gotten very far yet due to all the fighting. I really can't complain.

I've discovered that injecting Aether constantly into a Tower of Eternity fragment creates a rift.

Unfortunately, I don't think our current technology can maintain the rift permanently. Here is a report on my research. Please deliver it to the Brigade General.

Go to Southern Tranquility Fragment Excavation and talk to Renate. Kill an Elyos for me.

Player: "Blood for blood!"

Please be careful! We have lots of Elyos here who've infiltrated the region to steal the tower fragments.

When a tower fragment is continuously supplied with Aether, a rift sometimes opens that leads to the Tower of Eternity. But it doesn't stay open for long.

This report contains the details on how such fissures are created.

Okay, now please deliver this report to Brigade General Reinhard. But watch out for Elyos on the way!

Player: "Not a problem."

Ah yes, I knew I could count on you.

Hm... Tower of Eternity fragments release excessive amount of Aether during disintegration, and injecting Aether into them creates rifts that lead to the Tower of Eternity...

This is fascinating. I intend to continue supporting the research.

Fight hard so the Asmodians will stand victorious!
