I've heard your report that a Balaur-blooded child will soon start a great calamity in the land of the forgotten Balaur Lord.

You've tried many times, but failed to stop the inevitable future, yes?

So the Pandaemonium Protector Council has resolved to go and take part in the Holy War.

Player: "I see."

I request that you also come here and do your part, Daeva.

There's none more fitting for this task than you. The path you've walked so far and your conviction shall prove it.

When you're ready, go to that space. To Apsaranta, the land of the forgotten Dragon Lord.

Player: "I will."

Do you know about the Dragon Lord Apsu?

He was once a Dragon that led a powerful and prosperous faction, and even became a Dragon Lord, only to be assassinated by a subordinate.

It was none other than Tiamat, who gained the name Usurper after betraying Lord Apsu to become the 5th Balaur Lord.

Player: "Interesting."

Tiamat had a gift for hiding and sealing things away with the power of earth and gravity.

Before sealing Ereshkigal in the Drakenspire Depths, Tiamat assassinated Apsu and sealed the entire land of Apsaranta away.

But after you and Empyrean Lord Kaisinel vanquished Tiamat, the seal's power gradually weakened and Apsaranta revealed itself.

Player: "I see."

The land lost its master, but fragments of Apsu's power still remain and hold sway in various places.

Even Tiamat couldn't extinguish that power, and so there was no choice but to seal away the whole of Apsaranta.

The one with Balaur blood, your friend, is also after that power. Knowing she can't ascend on her own, she wants to borrow Apsu's power.

Player: "I... yes, I know."

If we're to stop her and avoid this great tragedy, we must first conquer Apsaranta.

You, who has seen many paths, I give you a worthy mission.

Your task is to conquer Apsaranta so that the Asmodian legion and the Pandaemonium Protector Council can exert their influence.

Defeat the enemies across Apsaranta and help the Asmodians achieve victory in the Holy War.

Player: (End dialog.)

(You can't see his face, but he seems to be smiling.)

You have proven that our decision to bring you to Apsaranta was the right choice.

I shall remember your remarkable exploits for a long time.
