Welcome! Player, right?

The High Priest told us you were coming, so I was sent to wait for you. Everyone else is already on board, along with all of the obelisks and various repair equipment needed at the fortress.

...You look a little stiff, what's wrong?

Player: "I'm a bit nervous."

Ah, don't worry. You're not the first person to sweat over heading past the Aetheric Field. Besides, Lord Kaisinel will protect us and there are plenty of Guardians working out there too.

Come on, let's board so that the voyage can get underway.

Player: "Alright."

Ugh...this is awful...Matias thinks I'm highly sensitive to Aether, which would explain why I feel so dizzy and light-headed.

At least I don't need to return to Elysea.

Player: "I'm sorry, Roye."

It's okay. Acclimating to this will take some time, but I'll be by your side again in no time.

Now go to meet Outremus and help them repair that Obelisk.

Player: "See you soon."

We need someone who can help us push past our current troubles. Eremitia seems to think you might be that person, so you have my trust.

First things first, you need to learn a little more about the current situation. Go and find Steropes, who will give you more information.
