That booklet you brought last time did help us, but there's more to learn. We don't know how it works.

The high level Stigma test was successful but I've made no new progress.

I've studied the booklet, though, and gleaned a few clues.

Player: "New leads to run down?"

According to the booklet, the Shulacks engraved Stigma on their bodies by using a Drana Fragment. Drana might only be found in Balaurea.

It's not completely impossible to lay our hands on it, though. We may meet success if you journey to Dark Poeta!

You must have heard the rumors. It's a region that exists in a distorted time, and ruled by the Balaur.

Player: Oh, lovely.

It's not just the fragment we need. There's apparently a scroll with detailed instructions as well.

A Shulack scientist currently has it. Some of our Archons have seen him.

I think you should visit Hresvelgr in Beluslan. He might know something.

Player: Accept.

If we can obtain what we need in Dark Poeta then the Shugo blood that went into making that booklet won't be in vain.

Go to Hoarfrost Shelter in Beluslan and meet with Hresvelgr.

He's an astrologer who can see through time. He should know a lot about Dark Poeta.

Player: "On my way!"

We're all connected. Nudge one of us and all are changed.

The disturbances and chaos of Time and Space were wrought by a great shift.

I have forseen your visit. Ask me what you wish to know.

Player: "I need to know about Dark Poeta."

Vergelmir's conjecture is accurate. You can get Drana Fragment by killing Drakan in Dark Poeta.

The scientist you seek is Professor Hewahewa. Reaching him will take courage.

Do you know how to get to Dark Poeta? You can get there through the Artifact of Circulation if you have Time Activation Stone.

Player: "Blood for blood!"

I don't think my superiors understand what I'm doing. All of Asmodae stands to gain, though.

I'm fortunate to have you helping me, Player.

What did Hresvelgr say? Was your expedition fruitful?

Player: "I brought you these gifts."

I'm not seeing any Drana Fragments or scrolls...

Perhaps if we dawdle long enough the sun-cursed Ellies will master the technique first.

Won't that be great?

Player: "Subtle point driven home."

A Drana Fragment and the scroll! I must check the part I couldn't identify from the booklet.

Here it is! This is the part I need! Now that we're fully prepared, we can do this right now.

It will be my honor to experiment on you first!
