Player! The Brigade General promised to send someone competent. Seems that it's you.

I left the test site to Denskel and came here to try and figure something out, but I haven't made much progress. I don't understand why that Aether generator worked so well elsewhere, but here, it's only good as a brick!

If you ask me... that Reian Tribe member, Eddas has a solution. He's pretty educated about Aether, but waved me off when I tried to ask. I feel like he's hiding something.... Do you think you can find out more?

Player: Accept

Gelkmaros has been my home for centuries. I know everything that happens, merely by viewing the flow of energy in the air....

I already know why you have come to me.

I have nothing to say to you.

Player: "Please.... This is important."

The reason I have enjoyed harmony with the other creatures here for so long is by not meddling.... Though, this may call for me breaking my rule, just this once, as it concerns the Elim. ... I will tell you one thing.

The energy flow of this area was disturbed from the moment Taloc's Messenger appeared in the Krug Basin. That trouble you're having with that device your people installed here is just a glimpse of a bigger disaster.

Doubtless, something terrible is happening inside Taloc. Go to Taloc's Messenger and ask him what you want to know. I cannot imagine he will part with the answers easily though, unless you are close with the Elim.

Player: "I understand."

Many things are out of balanace.... There is dissonance in Taloc itself.

I was drawn to ask for help, to something at once Aether and non-Aether.

It was not what we thought. That device....

Player: "Please continue."

Instead I found you, a being with powerful Aether.

You are the one who will right this wrong. Enter Taloc.

Once your preparations are done, I will lead you to Taloc.

Come back to me when you are ready.

Player: "Okay."

Taloc speaks to me.

Thank you, friend of the Elim and Daeva with great power.
