Haven't seen you for a long time, Player! How have you been doing since then?

I see you bear [%mainslotitem]. You seem to have come pretty far as a Daeva.

You seem to be fulfilling your calling with no trouble since you ascended to Daeva.
The Cloister of Kaisinel has definitely noticed your development already, Player.

According to the Zephyr Daeva, you're expected there already.

It seems to be something important. I'll send you directly to the Cloister of Kaisinel. Please meet with Eremitia there and then return to me.
I've been observing your development from here.

Your abilities have developed particularly fast since you ascended to Daeva.

Naturally, it will go a lot faster with the necessary help at the right time.
Be that as it may, the time has come.

You must ascend again. A huge step lies ahead of you, Daeva.

It's about the ability to use Stigmas.

That's why I brought together two Daevas in the Cloister of Kaisinel who are trained in the handling of Stigmas.

First you must speak to Kantar and then with Konopas to find out more about Stigmas.
Nice to meet you, Player. The news of your glorious deeds has even reached Sanctum itself.

It's truly amazing that you already want to learn the use of Stigmas as a young Daeva.

You did come to me to find out more about Stigmas, didn't you?
Then I'll tell you everything I know about Stigmas.

Stigmas conceal a mysterious power. It's up to you how you use it.

[plur]Stigma[pl:"Stigmas"] contain the memories of Elyos warriors who fought for Sanctum in the past.

Daevas who have mastered the handling of Stigmas can draw on abilities from these memories.

The most important thing is finding a way in. The Stigma Stones don't just give up their memories for any Daeva.

Remember my words... now go to Konopas. He's standing directly in front of me.
Since their discovery, Stigmas have been further developed.

Thanks to our research, we're able to boost Stigmas further and further.

It's very exciting to think about which new methods might be open to us in future for supporting Daevas.
Stigma Stones aren't just pretty to look at.

Within Stigma Stones rest the souls of our ancestors who lost their lives in the Abyss.

It is a great honour to bear Stigmas because through them we make direct contact with those who have died.

To protect their memory, I help with the research into Stigmas.

If you use Stigmas, it is your duty to carry out the will of our ancestors by defeating Asmodians and Balaur, Player.

It's easier than it seems. Now return to Eremitia.
Ah, there you are, Player.

Everything has gone well so far, but you also haven't had to overcome any obstacles.

In future, it won't be quite so easy.
You've pushed yourself very hard, but you're still not far enough along for us to be able to entrust you with responsibility for the future of Elysea.

While you develop yourself further, those of your opponents who share your destiny grow ever stronger too. If you don't succeed in surpassing yourself and defeating your opponents, Atreia is doomed to fall.

You must overcome your limitations in order to prevent this. If you are capable of using Stigmas, then you will probably be able to do this.

Go to the Space of Destiny use Stigmas there in order to fight enemies.
I see your hands shaking.

What has filled you with such fear?

If you believe in yourself, then there's nothing you need to be afraid of.
Your destiny is bound tightly to that of Ereshkigal's lackey, Oris. You can overcome your limits and change your future by defeating him.

So you must fight and win! Here, take this Stigma.
If you equip the Stigma Stone in a slot, you will receive a new power.

This place will disappear when you leave it, but the skill will remain available to you.

So equip the Stigma when you are ready.
You equipped the Stigma.

The ability that you receive from the Stigma is not your power. It's more that you draw on the power that resides within the Stigma Stone.

But it's up to you how you use it.

Feel free to try out your ability.
Your bitter rival, Oris, will appear soon.

Defeat Oris of Illusion with your new power.

You can only overcome your limits and acquire new abilities by defeating Oris.

You can only escape this illusion by defeating Oris.
Well done. Another step in the right direction.

When you meet the real Oris in the distant future, you will be able to defeat him.

But this is just the beginning. In time, you will acquire further abilities that you will use to accomplish deeds which you are as yet incapable of imagining - even in your wildest dreams.

Destiny will no longer stand in your way.

I'll send you back to Heiron. You can complete your open missions there.

It won't take long with the Stigma.

Let me know when you're ready.
Are you ready to set out for Heiron?

Then close your eyes.
You radiate very powerful Aetheric energy, Player.

You have the Stigma!

Now that you have the power of the Stigma, the day when Heiron shines with its former radiance is no longer far off.
