So, you want to know the truth?
You may have a look at a glimpse of the past,
but on one condition.

Quest Walkthrough
Step 1
Objective Advice of Ahon Kirus NPC Knowledge
Summary We know all about the famous Goyen Mercenaries.
We heard that they met a tragic end when they were tricked by Dandelions,
but we didn't imagine it was due to an insider...
So, you want to know the truth?
You may have a look at a glimpse of the past,
but on one condition.
You must get me an object which was
at the very place and the very moment that you want to look at.
Step 2
Objective Hand over Derek's Ring
Summary So this must be the ring
that witnessed the whole moment.
Step 3
Objective Unveiled Past
Summary You seem confused.
It is the memory of someone else from the past so no wonder.
Hold on a second...
...
There, you will be able to
see the moment you want to know more clearly.
Now, off to do what you have to do.
But no one knows what is waiting for you in the end.
Step 4
Objective I lost Glass of Reflection NPC Item
Summary You don't get to see this every day.
Be careful.
Step 5
Quest Text Tarif's fate is not the only one that hangs in the balance.
Step 6
Objective Origin of Tarif Sorcery
Summary Cartian NPC Knowledge, the founder of Tarif,
is said to have come from somewhere in the south.
After she decided on the location, she named the town Tarif,
which means "a fresh start through sacrifice".
Step 7
Objective Book of Cartian
Summary The Book of Cartian is a magic tome
written by the great Sorceress Cartian NPC Knowledge.
No one at present can handle the power contained within.
This is because we lack the mental capacity to do so.
If your body and mind are ill-prepared for the Book of Cartian,
you will destroy yourself utterly trying to wield it.
That's why it has been sealed under the Nantusa Letusa NPC Knowledge tree,
with the strongest magical shield possible around it.
We believe that protecting the Book of Cartian
is the prime duty of Tarif.
Step 8
Objective Receive Ancient Dwarf's Edana Token
Step 9
Objective Receive Ancient Giant's Edana Token
Step 10
Objective Receive Cartian's Token
Step 11
The effect of the Three Days of Darkness is thickening.
Neruda Shen NPC Knowledge's influence is also becoming stronger.
Step 12
Objective Continue conversing
Summary It's true that Neruda Shen NPC Knowledge and Illezra... are both suspicious.
I'll remain quiet until everything is clear.
For the sake of Mediah, we must carefully observe
from an objective perspective on how the situation unfolds.
Step 13
Sarma, seeing that you are here,
does that mean Prince Bareeds's safety is assured?
Step 14
Objective Keep listening to the conversation
Summary I fear we still can't say for certain.
Only a few knights managed to make it to Tarif.
We no longer have the numbers to stay on the move,
and we can no longer leave the Prince within reach of Neruda Shen NPC Knowledge.
The Shroud Knights are planning to seek
the Prince's asylum in Valencia.
Maudi Budar NPC Knowledge is negotiating terms as we speak with a delegation from Valencia
at the Ancient Ruins Excavation Site discovered in Mediah.
Step 15
Valencia... It might be safer there than it is here.
Then us, the Shroud Knights...
Step 16
Objective Keep listening to the conversation
Summary We must gather the remaining knights scattered across the lands,
and we must find Illezra to get to the bottom of our troubles.
Step 17
Objective How can we help the workers?
Summary The hallucinations the workers are experiencing are no doubt
caused by the dark energy that has been growing in Mediah.
We sorceresses are experts on the dark energy and by extension, the Black Spirit NPC Knowledge.
However, our methods of controlling the dark energy takes years to develop.
Time that the workers do not have.
Therefore we have to find another method.
The workers do not need to control the dark energy but simply need to know
how to fight back against it. Try visiting the Giants at the Mausoleum.
They have fought off the effects of the dark energy for many years.
Step 18
Summary This is the result of training using the magic contained in the Book of Cartian.
Step 19
Objective Say that you'll help.
Summary Thank you so much.
I knew it was a good idea to call on you.
Step 20
Objective Tell her about how you destroyed the stone grave.
Summary I never imagined the source of our troubles would be so close to the village!
I should have investigated more thoroughly. I only have myself to blame...
Also, please accept my apologies on behalf of Kisha, that poor child.
I wouldn't have forgiven myself if anything had happened to you.
Step 21
Objective Give Powder of Rifts
Summary You brought the Powder of Rifts.
Step 22
Objective Give Powder of Time
Summary You brought the Powder of Time.
Step 23
Objective Give Ox Blood
Summary You brought back Ox Blood.
Step 24
Summary I see that you're interested in alchemy.
Step 25
Objective Hand over the Rock Fragment.
Summary Deliver this Reincarnated Opal to Berd.
Would you like to go to Splashing Point where this Sapphire was made?
Step 26
Adventurer, may I appoint you
as the Knight of Tarif?
Step 27
I appreciate your concern for Tarif.
It gives me hope.
Step 28
Summary Ah... Did you fear for the safety of our village, Tarif?
Alas, the knowledge of the ruins is already within our grasp.
In times past, another spoke those very words to us.
Your visage mirrors theirs in a way most uncanny.
But Tarif shall remember you...
In the name of Cartian NPC Knowledge, we offer our gratitude.
Step 29
Ah, I will gladly be of help.
I've yet to finish the gift you gave me last time.
