I don’t know whether you’ve noticed another temporal change in Aphsaranta.

Zikel and his army have completed their mission and returned. Another lord has arrived in Aphsaranta with his army.

Please join them and dedicate yourself to a new mission in Aphsaranta, Daeva guided by time.

First talk to Lady Lumiel in the Archon Garrison.

Please find out in which direction we’re heading.
The Protector of Wisdom is here.

It’s a pleasure, Player.

I’m Lumiel. I bear the title Lady of Wisdom and Magic.
There is great chaos in Aphsaranta.

Inanna and the Stella Corporation, the Balaur and minions who follow Apsu, the brutal Elyos and entire armies who have only their own profit in mind – they are all engaged in a power struggle.

My agents and I have come here because we want to help in this chaotic situation.
My legions are called the Wise Judgement Legion, Credo Omen Legion and Strike of Wisdom Legion. They are led by Harun, Boron and Oile.

There are currently two legions here. Depending on the situation, the armies will also relieve each other.

The two agents responsible for my safety are the brave Protectors of Wisdom. In a crisis, they will also fight themselves.

So from time to time they might not be here, but they are defending Aphsaranta on the front line. So you should take good care of them.

In big battles, both agents are always at my side. You should remember that.
My army and I want to focus mainly on following Inanna and the Stella Corporation, examining Apsu’s Relic and researching Aphsaranta’s rare resource, Io.

If we do this and use the power of Io, we’ll surely be able to tame the chaos in Aphsaranta.

Player, do you swear to me your loyalty? Then I will stand by you too.
(smiles) I will reward your oath.

If you want to help the legions, you should find out more about Io.

Meet Zicomani in the Io Cabinet.

She can bring you up to date with the latest in Io research.
So you’re our guest, Player!

Welcome to the Io Lab.

I process Aphsaranta’s rare resource, Io, here and ensure that we can use it in battle. I am also researching everyday uses for it.
The first product we successfully made with Io is the Io Aether Cannon.

This weapon condenses the power of the Io and fires it as magic.

It isn’t easy to handle and often malfunctions, but no product has produced better results so far.

I describe further examples of the use of Io in detail in my treatise.

This treatise the is the book that my researcher Tuella is reading. It contains 10,786 pages with a hardcover binding and colour illustrations.

Uh, I’m not finished explaining yet! Where are you going?
(sighs) Anyway. I need huge amounts of Io for my research.

There are many Archons gathering Io for this purpose in many different ways.

For example, they gather the small amounts of Io contained in Ionium, Iodra and Illoe Vines. They also get the Io used in Apsu’s Relic.

Rumour has it that there are large amounts of Io beneath the Apsu Temple, but the Balaurs’ defences make it impossible to verify this. If we could tap into this Io source, we would have a chance of victory.
If you discover any Io during your missions in Aphsaranta, it would be great if you thought of me, Player.

Ah, do you also want to meet with the Nightshade Clan Leader and the Ancient Clan Leader on your way to your mission?

They’re probably at the camp in central Aphsaranta right now.

They’re bound to be able to tell you more about Aphsaranta and Io.
What, a new guest?

The Nightshade Clan greets you, Daeva.
Ah, perhaps we’ve already met at the Beshmundir Temple, Daeva.

But we can forge a new relationship in a new place, can’t we?

Our only interest is the forgotten treasures of the Dragon Lord! This shiny gold is completely useless for the research and investigations that Daevas are so fond of!

We will also reward you for other items you unearth.

What do they call it again… when you help each other? One foot washes the other? Something like that anyway!
Hehehe! That’s what I like to hear!

Then I’d like to ask you for something straight away, Daeva. It’s about the guys in the camp next to us.

They’re always talking about excavating an ancient civilisation and won’t leave us alone while we’re working. Tell them to scram!

Hm? You can’t do that? We should just get along? I’m not entirely sure what that means, but if you want, Daeva, we will try. We are a community of destiny now!

Go and meet the Ancient Clan Leader then and offer him a cooperation. You can do that, can’t you?!
Rakuri, who are you? An enemy?

We’re investigating Rakuri here! Don’t come any closer!
Hmm, really? Rakuri, I was so suspicious because we’re always fighting with the Nightshade Clan.

It’s fortunate that you haven’t attacked me.

Seems I can trust Daeva.
Rakuri is here to study the ancient world.

Aphsaranta is the domain of the Dragon Lord of Misfortune, Apsu. Rakuri, we’re investigating the ancient civilisation of Apsu, who was the Dragon Lord when he Tower of Eternity was still standing. We study ancient texts to do this.

Could you help us with that?

We need incredible numbers of texts and documents, but the Nightshade Clan is claiming all the relics and ruins for themselves, Rakuri!
Rakuri… That would be great, but did they really say that?

Rakuri. We have no interest in the treasures. They can have them. If they could give us the research materials they have unearthed, we would be blissfully happy!

Thank you for the good news, Daeva.

Rakuri, I have one more request, Daeva. Other than the Nightshade Clan, there is another group in Aphsaranta that is after Apsu’s relics.

They call themselves the Stella Treasure Troop. They are damaging many of the materials we need for our research.

Could I ask you to get rid of them, Rakuri?
Psst! Duck.

We’re currently near the Elyos Garrison. If we’re found, things will get uncomfortable fast.
You come from the Archon Garrison, right?

My name’s Spyrn. I was sent here to scout out the Elyos Garrison and find out what’s going on with them.

It’s a pleasure.
After Zikel’s and Lady Lumiel’s armies were replaced in Aphsaranta, there were also major changes in the Elyos’s armed forces.

The armies of Nezekan and Lady Yustiel have replaced each other.

The relationship between Lumiel and Yustiel isn’t bad, so there won’t be any major clashes, but the situation could change a bit.
This is my report with the information I gathered on the Elyos Garrison.

In it, I describe the Elyos’s situation and also briefly analyse the Asmodians’ and Elyos’s combat power. Have a read.

Once you’ve read it, return to the Archon Garrison and give it to the Apostle Incarnation.

Then get going quickly and quietly!
You have faced countless people and explored their time.

You’ve done well, Daeva guided by time.

Continue to fight side by side with the Asmodians in times to come.
