I've got to go see Moreinen. I just wish I didn't have to go to the Temple of Knowledge to do it.

Did I mention how much I hate that place? She loves it--she's my darling historian, after all. But she has to know how uncomfortable other people feel in there--like we're being pressured to study or something.

No point in talking to her now--she's too angry. Ol' Eramir really screwed up this time. I should have visited sooner, huh? I ought to get her a present or something...just to show her I really do care....
Right! Everyone loves presents, don't they? She can't stay angry with a guy who's given her something nice, can she? Especially...when the guy's made the present himself!

That's what I'll do, Player! What should I make, though?

I know! A good Aether Crystal's as beautiful as a jewel, and you can scent it with fragrance, too. She'll love it!
I can make one if I have Salix Oil, Greater Odella Powder, and an Aether Crystal[pl:"Crystals"]. Those aren't easy to get...but I guess if these things weren't rare, they wouldn't be so special.

Oh, who am I trying to kid? I'm useless collecting materials. I only know how to help people have fun.

I wish there was someone I could ask...someone trustworthy and helpful....
Seriously, I owe you one. Thanks.

Okay, the Aether Crystal[pl:"Crystals"] itself will be the most difficult to get. You have to extract it from above the Morheim Ice Fortress.

You should be able to get hold of Salix Oil and Greater Odella Powder right here in Pandaemonium. There's a cooking merchant called Daraia and a general goods merchant called Nekai. Either of them should be able to help us out.
It makes me queasy even thinking about going to the Temple of Knowledge.

Anyway, did you bring the stuff?




Erm...not to be ungrateful, but you haven't brought me the things I need.

I know you're doing me a favour, but I do need the stuff and I need it soon, you know?

You need the list again? Salix Oil. Greater Odella Powder. Aether Crystal[pl:"Crystals"]. Bring them to me.


Oh, that's fantastic! I can make the crystal now! You may have just saved my life, Player! I'm going to make it right now. And get this--it's going to be heart-shaped. Nice touch, huh?

Moreinen's going to love it. She won't doubt me again.

I owe you, Player. This doesn't really cover it, but please take it anyway.
