Never in my life have I been surrounded by such an ominous atmosphere....

It must be The Veilenthrone. I am certain of it.

Only the corruption of the Balaur could make everything feel this way--could make the souls within scream with such despair....

Yustiel's Agent Ephim sent the Lifekeeper Legion and Yustiel's Lifekeepers to investigate, but none have returned.

And the Balaur have blocked the path to the Great Temple.

Player: "That sounds bad."

Player, your arrival here marked the sharpest decline in Balaur numbers I have seen.

Will you help? Will you go to The Veilenthrone and ensure the Genesis Relic is safe? That temple is filled with Jotun artifacts, but that is truly the greatest among them. It's also the one that could be the most dangerous in the wrong hands.

Please. The Balaur will not be able to reach it easily, but if they do... they could become unstoppable.

I heard there was an alternative path opened at Inggison, the The Veilenthrone Entrance. Please head there.

Player: Accept

Ereshkigal... she was... w-waiting.... She knew....

She always knows.... Run! Save yourself!

Player: "What happened to the Relic?"

CURSE that Relic! When we arrived, I thought she'd already claimed it for herself!

I almost wish she had. There's... there's some kind of ritual on it, to activate it. It needs... r-resources.

Lives. My unit... they... she twisted them. Turned them into... n-nothing but... essence. Just... just GO! Leave me alone!







Player: "I'll do what I can."

So, Ereshkigal sought to twist creation to destruction.... That sounds just like her.

Her greed for power led to her downfall. She could never have matched Aion's power....

Thank you. The Relic--and the Veilenthrone--will return to their rightful places in the cycle soon enough. I cannot truly express how much we owe to you.
