Did you meet Kaisys?

The Lord of Illusion avoids revealing himself in public whenever he can....

Daevas fear him at least as much as they admire him. Which can... delay things.

Player: "I see."

Kaisys already left for Heavy Mist Cliff.

He said he's set some kind of ordeal for you, Player. I am not... clear on the details.

Either way, I'd head to Heavy Mist Cliff and find Kaisys--wouldn't want to keep an Empyrean Lord waiting.

Player: "Got it."

You have already witnessed a Dragon Lord's power first-hand--do not go unprepared.
