Sataloca....

You know he still lives, Player? In a manner of speaking, anyway. He was a mighty Balaur warrior who somehow managed to breach the Aetheric Field and invade Eltnen.

Our finest Guardians were sent to stop him, but whole Legions fell before him. Eventually he was defeated, but as he was ripped apart by the wildlife we discovered something incredible.


It was Sataloca's Heart! It carried on beating even after it had been torn from the corpse.

Of course, we were terrified. Sataloca was one of the oldest of the Balaur, and it appeared he was blessed with immortality just as our Daevas are. The ramifications were astonishing.

We convened to decide the best course of action, and agreed to seal the heart away with Kimeia constantly guarding it.
Kimeia is far from ordinary, Player. She is incredibly sensitive to the flow of Aether, and has demonstrated remarkable skill when dealing with the Balaur before.

I have seen her pull the wind from beneath the Balaur, sending them crashing to the ground. I have seen her scatter battle lines with her mere presence.

Now Kimeia has need of your services, Player. I do not know what for, but I am sure she is looking to test your abilities. You should hurry: Sataloca's Tomb is quite a walk.


Ah, so it is true! I'd heard of a particular Daeva, a [%userclass] who would send ripples through the Aether as they moved. And here you are.

Player, I am Kimeia. Welcome to Sataloca's Tomb.

Ah, do you hear that? Even the great heart has felt your presence; his rhythm has accelerated. Interesting. Allow me to ask you a simple question: what did you do before you ascended?
How strange. Even the oldest of our Daevas know their origins, and yet you have forgotten?

I feel a sense of familiarity seeing you, but for the life of me I cannot remember where from. Hmm....

Player, will you allow me to test you?
Excellent. This will be interesting.

I will give you three minutes to kill as many of the Acheron Drakes as possible. The number of Acheron Drake Fangs you bring me will show me just how skilled you are, and will dictate the quality of your reward.

Prepare yourself, Player! Your time has started!




Your time is up, Player.

Show me the fangs you managed to collect then.
I see.

I won't lie to you Player, I expected you to do much better. The flow of Aether around you suggests you are a Daeva of great power, and yet this is...well, disappointing.

If you like, I would be willing to give you another chance.
Well, this isn't quite the number that I was expecting. It is much higher than average though, so I suppose I should congratulate you.

You are unique, Player. I feel certain you are. Carry on training and I'm sure you will be an asset to our people.

Here, this is a report I want you to hand over to Diomedes. He will give you your reward.


This is outstanding! I had such high expectations for you and still you managed to exceed them!

Please, take this report and give it to Diomedes. He will give you a reward worthy of this accomplishment.

Go now, Player. I will call on you again.


You're back. Did you speak with Kimeia?


Hmmm...you did well enough, Player, and I'm certain Kimeia was grateful for your help.

Here, take this reward.


You're back. Did you speak with Kimeia?


You performed much better than the average Daeva then! Interesting that Kimeia, of all people, would want to test you....

Regardless, here is your reward. Well done!


You're back. Did you speak with Kimeia?


These results are...they're outstanding! These figures speak louder than the heartiest of recommendations, Player. They're incredible!

Here, here's your reward. I'll pass the results on to General Telemachus; I'm sure we'll have other assignments to give you now.

Faith and arms!
