Mastarius has already told me about the attack on Silentera Canyon and its results.

She also mentioned that you lost your childhood friend in Ishalgen.

I'm really sorry, but destiny will not wait for you.

I have to ask you this now: which path are you going to take?
Firstly: You follow the call of Lord Marchutan and head for Lakrum, Dumaha and Red Katalam.

As the Gelkmaros landing site is now secure, the Lord wants you to go to Balaurea and complete additional missions.

Secondly: You remain in Gelkmaros.

Although we have secured the Gelkmaros landing site, the Elyos have the Inggison landing site. And they have set their sights on Gelkmaros.

If you stay here, your mission would be to defend this place against the Elyos.

Which path do you wish to take?
So you're being drawn to Lakrum, Dumaha and Red Katalam.

I'll pray for you here.

Benmor will show you the way.
So you decided to stay in Gelkmaros.

I'll pray for you here.

Come back if you change your mind.
So you're leaving Gelkmaros.

If you want to head to Lakrum, Dumaha and Red Katalam, then you'll need a Dimension Hourglass.

Abyss Rifts only work if you follow all the steps precisely.

First, ready the Dimension Hourglass, then state the target destination and enter the Abyss Rift.
