What on earth is wrong with the world? Now the Balaur have even managed to break through the Aetheric Field.

I hope that the Aion Tower isn't destroyed again and Elysea split apart like it was during the Cataclysm.

Ugh, the Balaur steal my sleep and my appetite at the same time.
Heiron was once rich in Odium but now it's terribly hard to come by.

Odium isn't being dug up in the mines any more.

The Balaur control the area around the mines and the Krall have occupied the mines themselves. So mining is impossible right now.

Gunes can tell you more about it. He's the fortress blabbermouth. Everyone knows him.
The appearance of the Balaur has got all of Heiron in uproar, but other locations are in danger too.

The situation in Atreia has grown worse since the Cataclysm. We have to level Asmodae to the ground to finally turn the tide!
Are you on the run too? Anyone asking about Odium in these times arouses suspicion.

But you're not the only suspicious individual in the fortress.

Go to Poeta if you need Odium. What was the mine called again? Ko... Kabarah? Apparently they still mine Odium there.
Don't you know Nargis? You definitely can't miss him. He constantly waves his hands in the air.

I think he lost his mind due to Odium addiction.

Maybe he can help you with the search for the Odium.
I... It wasn't me!

I didn't make it. So... So I'm not to blame...

I have to get away from here. Otherwise, I'll...
O... Odium? I... It wasn't me!

It was them. I'm not to blame...

The identity of the Le... Lepharists...

Argh! I can't say!
Hmm, so crazy Nargis mentioned the Lepharists... Then he seems to have fled from there!

Since we have absolutely no starting point for the Odium search, we should take a closer look at the Lepharists first.

It was a good idea to ask the fortress residents! Good work, Player!
