There are dangerous places in Balaurea where you'll have to fight the Asmodians in close combat.

Like Lakrum.

But the Asmodians aren't the main problem in Lakrum.

Player: "Go on."

After the third Balaur Lord Ereshkigal was freed, she took over Lakrum.

Our vanguard, the Lifekeeper Legion, found out that she's after the Genesis Relic which is being kept at the Great Temple.

Should she get her hands on the relic, then she would become even more powerful than before she was sealed.

We need to stop Ereshkigal from getting the Genesis Relic.

Join our troops and go to Lakrum.

Player: "All right."

Hello, Daeva. Your presence here is most welcome.

Player: "How can I help?"

I'm sure this isn't the first time in your life that you've heard this, but the dangers ahead of us are greater than any you've yet faced.

Agent Ephim is here and wants to give you a briefing on the current situation, so I will bid you farewell for now.

If I have need of you later, I will send for you.

Player: "I understand."

Ah, welcome!

I heard that you'd joined our forces, but it's a delight to finally meet you in person.

I suspect you'd like a briefing on what's happening here.

Player: "Yes."

We arrived too late to keep the Balaur from taking the great temple, but all hope is not lost.

Ereshkigal has been unable to seize Aion's artifact so far. Its power is still too great for her, but we cannot assume that will be the case forever. And while we are certainly not weak, I see no shame in admitting that Ereshkigal's power outstrips ours.

We need to seek the help of the Jotun, the native inhabitants of this area, and learn everything we can from them. Please, meet with the Jotun Elder Sordim and see what he has to say.

Player: "I will."

There is great power in you....

The Jotun...will help in your fight against Ereshkigal....
