Arethel Dialogue
Visiting here at this time... I see you've got a keen instinct.
Perfect timing, my friend... I believe you're the one I can trust this with.
It's an artifact called "Dehkia's Lantern NPC Item".

It was discovered in Atoraxxion,
an ancient stronghold to stop the Dark Invaders.
Atoraxxion... The name probably rings a bell,
if not, you'll be hearing it soon enough. Regardless...
Is it a boon? Ha... It's more of a perilous artifact.
That's why I want to entrust its study to you.
Too much? Hahaha...
Perhaps it could be an opportunity for you to become stronger.

Knowledge NPC Completion
The research journal of Dehkia's Lantern NPC Item is inserted between the books
written by Josya Odore, the leader of Vedir who first ignited Kamasylve.
It contains the Ahib's interpretation of the Orzekean record
found in the Crypt of Resting Thoughts.
(Excerpt)... Dehkia's Lantern was not the device for enhancing ancient weapons
as pursued by Dehkia, the founder of Atoraxxion.
Instead, it was a device to drive ancient weapons into uncontrollable frenzy.

Subjects exposed to the lantern NPC Item are consumed by an unyielding void,
awakening violently to fill this raging void.
This device could create a force capable of toppling
the well-ordered Atoraxxion in a heartbeat.
It seems Orze anticipated the moment when the perfectly balanced fortress
would be tainted by imbalance. No matter how powerful a weapon is born,
it was not aligned with the ideologies Dehkia, the master, strived for.
If all foes are vanquished and there are no more adversaries to battle,
where does that leave the weapon?
Yet, unbeknownst to Dehkia, Orze crafted this cryptic contraption.
