You were right about that strange dream, Player. I too experienced the same thing after touching the Fake Stigma.

In fact, ever since I have been having the same recurring nightmare. A faceless, nameless void of confusion and terror.


Do you remember hearing the name "Kromede" in the dream? I don't know if you know this, but there is an infamous Daeva called Kromede the Corrupt at the Fire Temple in Morheim.

If the Kromede in this strange nightmare is the same person, that would be...something worth knowing. She is powerful, and wicked.

As it turns out, several others have also had the same nightmare. We should look into this together. Will you help me?


Good. Then I suggest you track down Bridget, a Daeva of Psychic Arts, in Camp Kistenian.

She came to find out how to remove the curse of Ereshkigal from souls in the Kurngalfberg Ice City, but she may also know something of this Fake Stigma.

Take it with you when you go to see Bridget. Just warn her before she touches it.




I knew I felt an odd energy approaching, and now I can clearly see it was you.

You have a strange and powerful item with you, yes? Please give it to me.


Nonsense, hand it over. Hmmmm.... So, you keep having the same nightmare, over and over, ever since you touched this? I can see why. Stigma is generally just a shard of one soul, but this item has a great many souls trapped inside.

A lot of this seems to be going around, curiously. Just the other day, another Daeva brought me something similar.

Give me some time with this. I'd like to talk with the souls found in this item to see what they have to say.
