Thank you for waiting, Player.

It took a while because I was getting a detailed atmospheric analysis result from Antu.

So, if you look here...

It says, "There appears to be evidence of gravity manipulation in the aerial regions of Rafslan as a whole. It would be safe to consider it a gravity field installed to prevent departure from the region. This large gravity field is estimated to be derived from one of Tiamat's powers."

Player: "Are you saying it's a gravity field installed by Tiamat?"

Antu, the expert, seems to believe so.

He says we'll need to disable the gravity field or find a hidden route in order to escape Rafslan.

A hidden route... There is one place I can think of.

Did you the Apsu Legion have been in Rafslan the longest?

Some say they are older than the Tiamat Legion... Either way, they may have some information on how to escape this place.

Player: (End dialog.)

If it's the Apsu Legion, yes, they've been here in Rafslan the longest.

After losing their brigade general and lord Jemanat due to a betrayal, they continued to resist the Tiamat Legion without surrendering...

Unfortunate circumstances aside, they're still vicious Balaurs. They aren't friendly to anyone outside of the Apsu Legion Balaurs.

But there's a high possibility that they have the secrets to escaping Rafslan.

Player: "Where can the Apsu Legion be found?"

There's the Fallen Apsu Legion Camp in the northeast region of Rafslan.

Apparently it's where the Apsu soldiers are gathered to fight back against Tiamat.

They say Rafslan was originally Apsu's territory.

I would surmise that they settled there for good reason.

Try looking more into it.

Player: (End dialog.)

(A heap of old ruins.)

(You can't figure out if it was destroyed artificially or naturally due to the passage of time.)

(It will help to inspect it in more detail.)

Player: (Look over the ruins more carefully.)

(After your inspection, you can tell what structure the ruins once were.)

(It seems that this was a Passagethat allowed access to other regions in the past.)

(Of course, now that it has been destroyed, it can't be used.)

Player: (Finish examining.)

Player, did you find anything useful?

The commander told us that he thinks we'll need to find a way out of Rafslan as quickly as possible.

Apparently the Rift you reported...is quite dangerous.

Player: (Report on what happened at the Fallen Apsu Legion Camp.)

Oh, I see... And do you think there's any possibility that we can restore the passage?

If only it wasn't destroyed, we could've used it to leave this place...

I guess we'll just have to look for another way out.

I think that since the Tiamat Legion is occupying Rafslan, any information directly from them would be the most accurate.

Please investigate the Vevium Workhouse managed by the Tiamat Legion.

Player: "Done."

Black Tears?

Isn't that what they call Black Drana?

The Tiamat Legion considers these Black Tears absolutely essential.

They say absorbing Black Drana causes you to go berserk and gain several times your normal strength.

Player: (Report on your investigation.)

So the Black Drana acquired here is gathered and sent to Tiamaranta?

Since it was a conversation between the upper level administrators, it must be right.

Player: (End dialog.)

Is that true?

Black Drana! You've brought in quite the big catch!

I'll need to report this to the commander right away.
