I came here to find the reason why the Canyon of Lost Souls has changed so severely.

Truth be told, it’s unusual for the Courthouse of Silence to become involved in a simple mission such as this, but an order is an order and I have to get on with the investigation.

What I found out so far is that almost everything in the nearby forest has transformed.

What’s unusual is that the energy of the small forest that tries so hard to survive starts to suddenly disappear during the daytime.

I think that investigating this phenomenon might help me discover the reason why the forest has dried up, but the area that I have to investigate is just too big.

If you could maybe help me, Player, then would you go to the Heartsblood Copse when the sun is up and scout out the area?

Please see if you find anything unusual while you are scouting.

Player: Accept the proposal.

Did you find any clues?

The Canyon of Lost Souls seems to gradually get worse and worse.

Player: Hand over the Debris of Degenerated Forest.

This... is from the trees which lost their essence.

At least I’m glad we can say that the forest still possesses a wholesome essence.

Maybe it’s because there were trees with green leaves in that area which couldn’t be found in others.

Player: Continue listening.

We have to stop the destruction of Canyon of Lost Souls.

Please hear what I have to say.

Player: Continue listening.

There is still a place in this dried up forest that has the energy of life.

But the power that causes the forest to wither might soon swallow that place as well.

We have to destroy the creature that causes the forest to wither before it can do more damage.

Player: End dialog.

To summarize what you told me, Player, a creature called Galim is absorbing the essence of the forest.

Usually, those kinds of creatures are created by some kind of powerful energy.

Either way, I should inform the judge of this.

Thank you for your help with this mission.
