We've been having some trouble with Tiamat's Aetheric Field Defenders recently.

We know they're guarding something, but we haven't been able to find out what that is. Not even the Balaur experts we dispatched have made any progress.

I need you to take care of the Aetheric Field Guard outside the base, figure out who these Balaur are and what they are up to, and report your findings to Atrape.

Player: Accept

I enjoy these rare, peaceful moments. I know many battles await us, but sometimes...it's nice to just breathe.

Player: "Ah...sorry to interrupt, but this might be of interest."

....This is written in ancient Balaur! Where did you find this?

Hmm... it seems to be written in code. Deciphering this will take me a moment, bear with me.

Player: "Certainly."

Hmm....Aetheric field... Center of... Tia...mat... Aetheric Field Stone? Eternally even in death...

This is an order sent by Tiamat to someone a very, very long time ago. It orders the recipient to defend the Aetheric Field Stones found across this land...but it doesn't say why.

I wonder if there are more messages like this out there. I'm going to show this to a Balaur expert— thank you for bringing this to me.
