(You found an old antiquated polearm with "Akari--" engraved on its handle.)

(No matter how closely you inspect it, you can't make out the last 2 letters.)

(You'd better take it to Fuchsia, the living, breathing encyclopedia.)

Player: "What in Aion does this say?"

What question did you bring me, Player?

I don't know everything, but I know more than most. Now, tell me what you want to know....

Player: "Tell me about this polearm."

Hmm...this design of polearm hasn't been used in quite some time...maybe since the Cataclysm.

What does this say here? Akari...Akarian.... I can't make out what that name is.

Ah, Akarios! I think it says Akarios. There's a village...Akarios Village. There must be a connection. Find Asteros, he's the priest there. He'll know more.

Player: "This has become quite the mystery."

Arieluma! It's...Player, right?

I haven't seen you since you were but a soldier-for-hire. Now you're a full-fledged Daeva.

What brought you all the way to Poeta? You could have sent a messenger if you wanted to pass greetings my way.

Player: "Fuchsia said you might know about..."

A polearm, eh? Yes, I see the name "Akarios" engraved here.... And it does look quite old.

But I'm afraid I'm not a Daeva like you, Player. I'm just a Human, so I don't know much of what happened during the Cataclysm.

Perhaps Pernos would know more. Are you familiar with Pernos?

Player: "Vaguely...met him once or twice."

Pernos has been in Poeta much longer than I have.

If anyone would know about your polearm, it would be Pernos.

Safe travels, Player. And may the protection of Ariel always be with you.

Player: "Thank you, my friend."

Greetings, Player. It's been a full season or two since our paths have crossed.

I didn't think I would ever see you again. What can this old Daeva do for you?

Player: "What can you tell me about this?"

What?! Where...where did you find this, Player? I haven't seen this since...my goodness, since the Cataclysm! This was my polearm, when I was about your age.

I was a soldier back then, much like you. Our enemies knew me as Akarios, and they feared me greatly. But when I retired and left my quarreling days in the past, I also retired my name.

I moved here to sleepy Poeta, and I defended these villagers from any harm. They named the village Akarios to thank me...haven't left since. But I never thought I'd see this again! Thank you, my friend.
