Do you know what the people in Heiron fear the most?

Of course, what else? It’s the Balaur.

The Balaur aren’t only a problem in the Abyss: they’re opened an Abyss Gate and infiltrated Atreia.

They’re remaining at the Indratu Barracks right now, but they could attack the fortress or the village at any moment.
I know! The Aether that flows through Elysea is supposed to be anathema to the Balaur. Somehow, they’re resisting it.

Our forces are tied up in the Abyss. Every time I send a report about the Balaur in the Indratu Barracks, my superiors ask me, ‘Are you sure they aren’t ordinary Drakan troopers?’

Player, you’ve earned a lot of respect throughout Elysea. Can you investigate the Indratu Barracks and report what you’ve seen firsthand?
Don't just wade into the Balaur. We can provide you with some useful intelligence first.

Meet Piros, who is in Kishar Observation Post.

I think Piros has a way to infiltrate their lair safely. Do as he says, and he'll get you inside.


You’re the Daeva who’s going to deal with the Balaur at Indratu Barracks?

Excellent. I’ve figured out how the Balaur can stay here.

It’s the Balaur Wardstones – they repel the Aether itself! That’s why the blasted Balaur can walk freely throughout the barracks.

Get rid of the Balaur Wardstones, Player.

The flow of Aether will weaken the Balaur... maybe kill them or force them to retreat.
First, go to the Monitor Farm near their lair, and meet our agent Lamidros.

He can tell you where the Balaur Wardstones are. He's been watching the Balaur for some time, disguised as a monitor lizard.

You didn't reach the Monitor Farm?

We can certainly try again. I hope this time's the charm.

Let me know when you're ready.


Arieluma, Daeva. I don't get many...two-legged visitors.

What are you doing here, of all places?


Piros works quickly. As soon as I sent him a report on the Balaur Wardstones, I knew he'd send someone to destroy them.

The Balaur Wardstone[pl:"Wardstones"]s are easy to find--they're scattered all over the Nute Warrens northwest of here. The entrance looks like the mouth of a dragon. However, the place is filled with Draconutes and Nagas.

First, smash all the Balaur Wardstones in the warrens. Then, dispose of Guardian Drafala. We don't want them to repair or replace the stones right away.






Well done, Player. Truly, the Seraphim Lords blessed you today.

With the Balaur Wardstones gone, the Aether itself will weaken those Balaur and make them cry for mercy!

Also, Guardian Drafala is gone... then our mission can continue.

Thanks to your help, we can start preparing our next attack.

It’s high time we started making plans to finish off the Balaur and their ‘Indratu Legion’... with your help, Player.
