Did you hear what happened to Dark Poeta?

Pandaemonium nearly fell into chaos after its discovery. Even though it happened in Elysea, there's no way to be sure the same fate would not befall Asmodae.

Fortunately, Empyrean Lord Marchutan stopped the chaos. He claimed Dragon Lord Tiamat was behind it and assured us the Dark Poeta would not appear here, unless Tiamat obtained Siel's Relics.

Player: "Siel's Relics?"

Ancient relics empowered by Lady Siel, Protector of the Tower of Eternity and the Lady of Time. If Tiamat is unable to obtain Siel's Relics, Dark Poeta will never come about.

Empyrean Lord Marchutan predicted that Siel's Relics would be found in Gelkmaros, so Marchutan's Agent brought his troops there. Unfortunately, they have yet to find something.

Maybe because of all that, Empyrean Lord Marchutan has summoned me, ordering me to have Governor Vidar select and send a Daeva to Gelkmaros to assist them.

That person turns out to be you, Player. From the looks of it, the Empyrean Lord must have predicted you would come.

That's enough talk. Tigrina is waiting for you. Go to Airship Dock and get on the battleship to Gelkmaros.

May destiny smile upon you.

Player: (End dialog.)

So you're the one I'm taking to Gelkmaros?

You look a little, uh... Hmm, you do know what Gelkmaros is like, right?

It's a far cry from Asmodae. And nothing like Reshanta either.

So I'm telling you ahead of time, you have to be extra careful.

Rumor has it that those captured by the Balaur go insane.

Player: "I'm aware."

The ship's not ready to sail yet. You can always change your mind in the meantime. You've got plenty of time to think about it.

Anyway, there are a lot of repairs I need to make on the ship. Ugh, I have to...

...you know what, Player, how about doing me a favor rather than just standing there gawking?

All you need to do is send a message to Nekai, Grer, and Moorinerk.

Just tell them, "I will take their goods on the next ship."

Player: "Uh... sure."

What can I get for you?

Everything you see here is of the best quality in Asmodae.

Take your pick. My prices are quite reasonable.

But cash only. No credit, that's our family's policy.

Player: "I have a message from Tigrina."

I see. I've already prepared the goods to set sail...

It's hard to find food in Gelkmaros that suit the people's tastes, since its environment is far different from Asmodae.

So Archons who visit me like to take a little extra food with them before they leave.

They're not only my best customers, they protect us from the Balaur. So I take extra care with their food.

Did I mention how fresh my goods are?

Player: (End dialog.)

Did Tigrina say that?

Well, then I guess I have no choice but to hold onto these.

It's not that I mind, it's just that my warehouse is getting full.

Player: "Full of what?"

Ah, just some things belonging to an Archon dispatched to Gelkmaros.

He was in such a hurry, he left everything behind.

He was the first person to make such a large drop-off... Well, I can't choose my customers, you know.

He said he'd come get everything as soon as he was settled, but apparently he's been quite busy.

He asked me to have his things shipped with Tigrina, but it sounds like she doesn't have space this trip. Ugh, that's what she said last time...

Player: (End dialog.)

Oh! What? The next ship, nyerk?

Good news! Things weren't ready yet...

Order is complicated, nyerk!

Traders need so many hard-to-get items...

Player: (Continue listening.)

Has Daeva ever heard of instant shock absorbers, nyerk?

A special device used on Trader ships. That, plus a box of extra strength anti-nausea pills!

Very hard to make. And Traders can't trade without permission, nyerk!

But if Tigrina's going out of the Aetheric Field...

Well, no choice. No choice! Ship going is more important.

Ugh, need strength. Need to go find food. Frustration makes Shugos hungry, nyerk.

Player: "Okay, then."

Welcome back.

Did you deliver my message?

If it turns out you just went and killed time, I'll find out. Mark my words.

We're about to head out.

Player, do you still want to go to Gelkmaros?

Player: "I do."

Really?

Only time will tell whether you've made the right decision.

Regardless, you'll have to use this battleship to come back, so I suppose we'll see.

All right, we're off. Get ready!

Player: "Let's go."

Where have you been? I was surprised when Gelkmaros sent word you hadn't arrived.

Oh, I see. You must have been scared.

Have no fear. You're not alone! There are many Asmodians in Gelkmaros.

All right, I'll send it again, but this time don't get lost! When you get to Gelkmaros, be sure to say hello to Agent Richelle.

Player: (End dialog.)

Many missions await you.

And you will make many tough decisions.

Never forget. Always keep the intent of Aion in your soul.

That is the only beacon, illuminating your destiny.
