Large amounts of Rim Ore have been going missing in Lakrum of late. The Balaur most probably have something to do with it.

Rim Ore is a rare raw material that only shows up in Lakrum. Only the Jotuns have the technology to process the ore.

The blacksmith Prometun is particularly gifted when it comes to processing Rim Ore into unique items. But there's a rumour going around that the Balaur have occupied his workshop.

Why did they do that? And what are they planning with the Rim Ore?

Player, please go to Prometun's Workshop, kill the Balaur occupying it and find out what they're planning.
*Cough, cough* Hell, the Balaur are kidnapping people.

Don't those jerks know who I am!?

We have to do something immediately. Miserable swine!
Eh? Hey, I know you!

I was just investigating the mysterious Rim Ore, which only the Jotuns know how to process, when the Balaur stormed the workshop and took me captive.

I have to find out what those shameless brutes have planned for the Rim Ore!

Luckily, you showed up otherwise I would probably have been left here to rot... If I stay close to you, I'm sure I'll be able to continue my research unhindered.

Well? What are you waiting for? Kill the Balaur and ruin their plans! I'll take another little look around here and come later.
I've been observing you from a safe distance. That was really tough work!

You were very clearly outmatched in the battle against the fearsome Brigade General Prigga.

Watching you made my blood boil! It wasn't easy to stay quiet.

If only I were a little younger, I would have fought myself. Hehehe.
I followed the Ereshkigal Legion carefully and investigated the matter. I think they stole the Rim Ore to make that giant piece of equipment over there.

They say that weapons or equipment made of processed Rim Ore change according to the size of the wearer.

Judging by appearances, this equipment was made for Ereshkigal. It may be damaged, but I'd still like to examine it.

So, once your mission is over, stop keeping me from my work and speak to Agent Efim. I'll continue my investigation.
The Ereshkigal Legion used Rim Ore to make equipment for Ereshkigal.

We still don't know what Ereshkigal had planned for it, but we're safe for now since the equipment has been destroyed.

We'll keep a constant watch on Prometun's Workshop and ally with the Jotuns against Ereshkigal.

Thank you so much for helping us make a start. Please help the expedition troop out in future too.
