When first I came to Heiron, all the lands around here were lush, verdant forests.

Since then I've watched the land succumb to decay.

Player: "What's the cause?"

I've no idea. All my efforts go to maintaining the Aetheric Field.

And since the Balaur managed to penetrate it somehow, I've had my hands full.

Player: "Not an easy task."

Let's focus on the matter at hand. We need to study the problem.

Bring me roots from Lumbering Agrints and Greenclaw Rotrons. I'll try and determine the cause of the corruption.

Player: "Very well."

Have you brought the samples I requested?

Player: "I have. They're rather strange."

These are...quite unhealthy-looking. Hmm...I'm afraid it's beyond my abilities to diagnose the problem.

We'll need the expertise of an Elim. There's a town nearby, Arbolu's Haven, where Humans and Elim live side-by side.

Take these roots to Mersephon there. He could tell you more.

Player: "I shall."

Welcome...to Arbolu's Haven. You are...safe here.

Player: "What do you make of these?"

You say they come...from Agrints and...Rotrons? This corruption...seems to have...artificial causes.

Bring them to Trajanus. He is...the eldest among us.

If it...has happened in the world...he has seen it before.

Player: "Where can I find him?"

It is not...a natural occurrence.

I hear whispers from the...trees of the Poya Jungle. Humans are doing...terrible things.

They corrupt...even the trees.
