Our enemies in Eltnen are not made solely of flesh and bone, Player, but wind, dust and heat too. We're threatened not just from all sides, but from all aspects.

Look around, speak to the others. We have already surrendered villages to the desert; we have already surrendered villages to the Manduri.

Now a familiar face watches us, though we do not yet know why.

Player: "Who?"

The Krall, of course. Mabangtah and his methods have been cast aside, and Saendukal now reigns supreme in the Kaidan Krall encampments.

He is a vicious creature, but knows his tools well. First, words; stirring anger in the simple Krall minds. Second, passion; such bloody single-mindedness infects those around him with unbridled fury.

Saendukal stirs a war drum in the heartbeats of his Krall, and still we know almost nothing of their intentions. Their scouts watch us constantly though, which is more than enough cause for concern.

Player: "Can I help?"

Yes, you can. Attack their scouts. They are based apart from their main force, and should not pose too much of a threat to you, Player.

We do not know why they watch us, or what they have learned. Killing them now, before they are able to report back to Saendukal, will reduce the Krall's advantage.

Leave now, before it's too late. Faith and arms.

Player: "Faith and arms."

What could their intentions be? Would they really dare risk open war with us?

Player, you must tell me what you found out. Did you kill the Kaidan Scouts?

Player: "Yes, but they fought like animals."

Yes, Saendukal's convictions have stirred something powerful inside them. The more I think about this whole situation, the less I like it. It's time General Telemachus was notified.

Go now, travel as fast as you can to Eltnen Fortress, and convey all that I have told you.

Player: "Faith and arms, Tumblusen."

Yes, Player? What brings you here?

Player: "I have a message from Tumblusen, General..."

I see. The Kaidan Krall have been a growing pain to me, Player. A growing pain.

We need to understand their intentions, but we cannot simply wander into their base. The area that they have established is perfect for them. It is an inhospitable hole, a maze drilled into the very bones of our world.

We cannot scout it directly, but we must know their intentions. Hmm....

Player: "Perhaps Mabangtah can help?"

Yes, of course! Mabangtah!

He would know how best to scout out Saendukal and his warriors. He knows the area well, and he understands Krallic thinking. Perfect.

You must go to him, Player. He has already sought to work alongside us, now he must prove his worth. Faith and arms!

Player: "Faith and arms, General."

White wing! Mabangtah glad Krall trick not kill white wing. Mabangtah good with spear. Mabangtah not good with Krall trick. Krrrrrr.

Mabangtah glad to help white wing. Mabangtah hope white wing learn lots from Mabangtah help. Mabangtah help white wing. Mabangtah friend of white wing.

Player: "Yes, a good friend. Thank you for your help."

Telemachus told me he'd sent you to scout the headquarters. I was concerned that he had asked too much of you at this early stage, yet your return suggests his judgment was correct.

What did you learn?

Player: "They're constructing an Abyss Gate!"

What?! Here, in Eltnen?!

I must alert the General immediately! If their work is not stopped we'll have far more than the Krall to worry about.

Thank you, Player. You have performed your duties to perfection.
