Player! Thank Azphel you're here.

The Artificial Aether Generation Device at Krug Basin has stopped, and we need you to go there immediately to find out why. Time is of the essence.

I already sent Angrad, the most reliable of my Legionaries, to check on the matter, but I promised him that help would soon follow. He can't do it alone!






As you know, there is very little Aether in Gelkmaros. The generators we've installed don't produce a lot of Aether, but it's enough to help Daeva use their abilities inside the Aetheric Field.

The crystal at the Krug Basin Test Site downstream of the Gelkmaros Falls plays a key role in transmitting artificial Aether to Lumiel's Quartz in the Gelkmaros Fortress. It's the most important generator in Gelkmaros.

It is no exaggeration to say that the outcome of the war depends on the amount of Aether we can secure. If nothing changes, the amount of Aether will drop...and we will have to withdraw in shame. Hurry to Angrad if you want to help.




Player! The Brigade General promised help, but I had no idea it would be you. I can think of no one better suited to the task.

I haven't made much progress on a solution, frankly. The Aetheric Field Generators work perfectly in other areas--there's no reason it should be malfunctioning here. I will keep at it, but in the meantime, there's something you can help me with.

I recently asked Eddas, a Reian tribe elder in this campsite, for help. He is known to be familiar with both Aether and Drana, but he claimed he could not help. I know he's hiding something....






Say nothing. I know why you are here. I have lived in Gelkmaros for hundreds of years, and I am no fool.

Truth be told, I know exactly what is going on here, just by looking at the flow of energy in the air. Regardless, I have nothing to say. I cannot help you.




Wise Daeva. The reason I have lived in harmony with the other races for so long is that I have not meddled in their affairs. Yet perhaps, for you....

I have heard you are a friend of the Elim. And so, as this particular problem is related to their plight, I will share with you one thing: the problem with your generators is merely a forerunner of future disaster. Something terrible is happening inside Taloc.

I will say no more, but perhaps Taloc's Guardian will help you, if you are truly a friend of the Elim, and not just a pretender.




Incomprehensible distortion.... Many things wrong in Taloc. Many things Aetheric...unnatural...your Aether generators...you....

To correct the Aether...must enter Taloc.... But can I trust you...suspicious Daeva from another world...?

Prove you are friends...with the Elim....








The Elim never forget a kind deed.

Thus I will agree to your request.

Please, take my blessing.

This will allow you to use the entirety of your power.

If you are ready, I’ll take you to Taloc.
Taloc does not want the help of crowds.

Come alone, or stay out of Taloc’s Hollow.
No...your abilities cannot be...unleashed inside Taloc's Hollow.

Too much power...too much...risk. Perhaps others...with less destructive...potential.


I saw it, your mysterious power.

All I see within you... is this mysterious power.

Who are you, Daeva of mysterious quality?

Everything is back as it should be. We have you to thank for that.

Ask Vellun if everything is back to normal. He’s the one who tests the machines.
The soldiers were apparently very worried to hear me mention the possibility of retreating from Gelkmaros.

But I just wanted to be honest.

Luckily, we have access to aether at the Krug Basin Test Site again, so Lumiel’s Crystal should have enough now. It’s astonishing to see how quickly things went back to normal.

How on Atreia did you manage it? The aether generators were suddenly all repaired. They’re very complicated machines.

I’ll have to do some research into this. Make sure you report back to Valetta.
Those distorted spaces inside Taloc were no doubt created during the Cataclysm. I can imagine how it happened... Creatures absorbing energy from fragments of the Tower of Eternity, contaminated Aether... no wonder Taloc's Guardian came to this. And no wonder its energy disrupted the Aetheric Field Generator.

There's still one question, though--about you. Most of those who eat Taloc Fruit have serious side effects. But you... you were transformed into a Guardian General?

I think the power that the Taloc Fruit gave you comes not from an external source, but from within you. You have a potential as powerful as that of Guardian General! I am in awe.

Please, promise that you'll only use this power for the good of Asmodae...
