Azphelumbra, Player! It's been too long since we've talked.

It looks like you've been thriving as a Daeva.

All of Asmodae is proud of the strength you've displayed!
Munin is proud of your accomplishments.

He has... ways... of communicating from his prison cell, and he sent me a message yesterday.

He seems to have something important to tell you. You can find him in Ishalgen.

He can still be found in The Forsaken Hollow.
Though confined here, I have been watching you, Player.

The pace of your accomplishments as a Daeva has been impressive--impressive indeed!

I'm proud enough to think that my guidance before your ascension helped you achieve so much, so fast.


Be that as it may, the time has come.

You must ascend again. A huge step lies ahead of you, Daeva.

It’s about the ability to use Stigmas.

That is why I have instructed my three apprentices to make arrangements.

But head back to Aldelle Village first and visit Urd.
Aren't you dressed for adventure! Come back to show off to the other raiders, did you?

Ah, forget I said anything. If what master Munin says is true, you're entitled to show off a little.

Let's check your past again. You've accumulated more "past" since I last saw you. Time marches on, doesn't it?




You’re soaring like the bird in the card I gave you last time, that’s for sure. The chains of time are falling from you.

And the past you choose to mould will be different than the previous one.

If things come to pass as my master desires, you will no longer need to find me and seek my help.

What is important for you now is the present and the future.

If you want a better future than the present one, then visit Verdandi and seek guidance.
Are you here for mischief, Player...or for revelation?

When you didn't change into a Ribbit like everyone else, I knew you could become something special.

Now Munin asks me whether you've lived up to that promise.


But in such moments you must concentrate on the present.

Every step must be taken carefully to avoid any potential catastrophes.

You may believe that you have already developed beyond imagination, but in my eyes you still have a long journey ahead of you. The ability dwelling within you must still be awoken.

I could help you, but the biggest danger right now is the future, so you’d better ask Skuld rather than me.

Talk to Skuld and ask for help.
I have no special expertise in the past or present, Player, but I can tell that you've done well so far...perhaps because nothing significant has blocked your path.

That's about to change.

Storm clouds gather around you, even as we speak.


Why such a dire vision? Your mortal enemy--whose destiny surrounds yours--grows more powerful with each passing day. If you and Hellion continue on your present paths, destruction lies in your future...and Asmodae's as well.

To defeat him and free your destiny--free Asmodae's future--you have to break out in a way that Hellion can't match.

Come with me into a Space of Destiny--a place beyond places, if you will--and we'll see whether Stigma powers can give you the edge you need.




I see your hands are shaking.

Are you afraid because you don't know what's about to happen?

Do your best, and you need not fear this future-that-may-be.
You’ve probably heard whispers about you... you and a foretold ‘Thirteenth Empyrean Lord.’ A literal reading of those prophecies suggests that the Thirteenth Empyrean Lord will destroy Atreia.

But our master and his followers – myself included – have a more dynamic view of prophecy... and of the nature of destiny.

Your destiny is tightly bound to that of the Elysea Daeva, Hellion. You can overcome your limits and change your future by defeating him.

You only have to fight and win! Here, take this Stigma and the Shards.
The Stigma Stone is a fragment of a soul--a former Daeva, now largely returned to Aether's flow. But enough remains that you can tap into a power that Daeva knew--if you put enough shards into the Stigma Stone.

The Stigma Stone I've given you works only within this Space of Destiny. But if you can work one Stigma Stone, you can work any others you discover.

If you are ready, try to equip it now, then make ready the power it grants you.
Excellent! That's how it's done.

The power you obtain from the Stigma Stone is never a power you already have. But as long as you've got the Stigma Stone, it works like any of your other abilities.

Are you ready to test your new Stigma power?


Soon you will see your mortal enemy, Hellion.

Defeat Hellion with your new power.

Hellion is strong, but his strength lies within limits. Use the power of the Stigma Stone, and you’ll show him that you laugh at such ‘limits’.
Well done! This isn't the real Hellion, but within this Space of Destiny, it's real enough, is it not?

When you face the real Hellion in the future, the power of Stigma will be key to your victory.

And Munin wishes to congratulate you personally, of course. I'll send you to him now.


You have the ability to use Stigma now? And you've faced down Hellion! Congratulations!

This is only the start, Player. Continue to gather power and grow as a Daeva. Somewhere far, far from here, Hellion is doing likewise.




Now that you can use Stigma, go to Pandaemonium and meet Aud.

You can get whatever power you want by buying and equipping the proper Stigma Stone.

If you need another power, equip a new Stigma – though some are hard to find.

Find out for yourself which power you need.
Aether shimmers in your wake, Player.

You clearly have the energy to power a Stigma Stone.

I will equip or remove Stigma Stones whenever you want. Bring the Stigma Stones and shards to me, and I'll do the rest.
