Aside from Apsu’s power, there are also said to be other powers in Aphsaranta that have existed there since time immemorial.

I’m guessing that our Aether and the Balaur’s Drana originated with these rare resources that where created when Aion created Atreia.

It’s possible that this power helped Apsu to awaken and ascend to become a Dragon Lord.
It’s said that this creative force flows beneath the soil of Aphsaranta like an underground river, but when it breaks through the surface it simply evaporates.

That’s why you can’t obtain this material using conventional methods.

You can get small quantities of it from Aphsaranta’s minerals or plants, or extract it from items made using these resources.

Future ruler of Infinite Time, I have a request for you in the name of the Pandaemonium Guardian League.

Bring me Various Io Resources.
The Pandaemonium Guardian League wants to get its hands on this material to unearth the secret of Apsu’s awakening and find new ways to utilise it.

But for that we have to find the resources first.

The rare resource Ionium and the Io Sword[pl:"Swords"] it’s used to make as well as the Ionium Metal Piece[pl:"Pieces"] from the sword will go a long way to helping with our research.
Is that Ioran, the secret of Aphsaranta and source of the Dragon Lord Apsu’s power?

I can’t do much with it, but there’s got to be some use for it...
It can’t have been an easy task.

Future ruler of Infinite Time, I thank you for your efforts.

The Pandaemonium Guardian League will never forget your help.
