All of Sanctum has heard the rumors: that a young Daeva has mastered the sage's teachings in the shortest time ever. I'm guessing that young Daeva is standing in front of me...

...for a conversation that is long overdue. The Miragent Holy Templars have had their eyes on you for some time, Player.

Player: "How come?"

We think that you have what it takes to become a Miragent's Holy Templar, Player.

I'll be blunt: Everything you've done so far was just a prelude--now the real symphony begins. The cost will be high...in every sense of the word.

But think of the payoff. If we Elyos are a chosen people, then how do you think it will feel to be the chosen elite of a chosen people?

Player: Accept.

To be a Miragent's Holy Templar, you must first receive the approval of the six preceptors--one from each class. If any of them refuses, you cannot be a Holy Templar.

Receive the signatures of Boreas, Jumentis, Charna, Thrasymedes, Oakley, and Dion on this recommendation letter.

Then get Oath Stone at the Fine Accessories shop in Divine Road and go to High Priest Jucleas. Give him the Oath Stone and ask him to perform the ritual of affirmation.

Player: "Seems simple. I'm on my way!"

You're not here for skill training, I hope.

With all you've done, you could probably teach me a thing or two.

Player: "I'm seeking recommendations..."

The Miragent Holy Templars...every Daeva's dream.

I myself once tried to become a Holy Templar. Made it about halfway through, then gave up out of utter exhaustion.

I see determination in your eyes. Good--you'll need it.

Player: "Faith and arms!"

Let me guess: You're trying to become a Miragent's Holy Templar.

Don't be so surprised. I didn't get this far without a knack for foresight.

And even if I lacked foresight...Lavirintos's voice carries quite far in this room. I overheard his whole speech to you.

Player: "Then you know about this letter..."

Here you go. If you make it into the Miragent Holy Templars, maybe I'll be asking for your signature someday.

Be strong in the days and weeks ahead. Joining the Miragents is an immense task.

Player: "Faith and arms!"

Let me guess. More paperwork.

Nobody asks me for advice.

What are you requisitioning?

Player: "It's a recommendation, not a requisition..."

I'll sign this, but first...you get to politely listen to some advice. Two kinds of Daeva try to become Miragent Holy Templars. One kind will do almost anything to earn the splendid uniform the Miragents wear.

The other kind will do almost anything to prove--to themselves and to others--that they're the best of the best. Which kind of Daeva are you, Player?

I suppose we'll find out in the days ahead. Here's your signature.

Player: "Faith and arms!"

I've been waiting for you, Player. Why didn't you come to me first?

Let me guess: You wanted me to see three other signatures...because of my reputation for being tough.

Well, you needn't have worried. I think you're tough enough for Miragent, Player...or at least tough enough to try.

Player: "Here's the letter..."

I'm excited to see where you go from here, Player.

You've already done great things, and being a member of Miragent's can only help with that.

Player: "Thank you!"

I can tell you're not here to learn skills, so tell me what's up, and be quick about it!

What's that you're holding there?

Player: "I need a recommendation. Won't take long!"

Oh! Why didn't you say so? I always have time for a Miragent challenger.

Here's my signature. I wish you success!

Player: "Faith and arms!"

You're here at last, Player. I heard that you were looking for signatures, and I knew you'd come to me sooner or later.

You saved the best for last, eh?

Normally, it's an autograph book that I'm signing, but this is, if anything, a greater honor.

Player: "I appreciate it!"

Now that all of us have signed off on this letter, you need to receive the ritual of affirmation from Lyceum of Sanctum, then go back to Commander Lavirintos.

Oh, I almost forgot! Get yourself a Oath Stone. You'll need it for the ritual, and they aren't cheap.

Player: "I'm on my way."

The Lyceum of Sanctum is a place for praising the holiness of the five Seraphim Lords and serving the Daevas.

Visit here whenever you want to pray to the Seraphim Lords.

Make yourself at home here--the Lyceum is a sanctuary to all.

Player: "Can you perform the affirmation ritual?"

You must be trying to join the Miragent Holy Templars. New challengers--for that's what they call them--are the only ones who need the ritual of affirmation.

Commander Lavirintos says few Daevas are up to the challenge anymore. I suppose you're an exception, Player.

Perhaps our people are getting too complacent, but if more people saw the Miragent Holy Templars in action, they'd be inspired to be a challenger like you.

Player: "Here's the Oath Stone."

What? No Oath Stone?

You are not the first challenger who forgot to bring the Oath Stone. And you probably won't be the last.

It's probably just nerves. So calm yourself, and remember: whenever you come to me needing a ritual of affirmation, you'll need the Oath Stone as well.

Player: "I'll be back."

Congratulations.

You've taken the first step. Symbolic of that, take these shoes.

May they guide your feet down the long path ahead of you--a path that will lead to you joining our order and becoming the best Elysea has to offer.
