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 - **Summary**: You don't get to see this every day. Be careful. ### Step 5 - **Dialogue**: Tarif's fate is not the only one that hangs in the balance. ### Step 6 - **Objective**: Origin of Tarif Sorcery - **Summary**: Cartian, 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. 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 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 - **Summary**: The Ancient Dwarf's Edana Token, Ancient Giant's Edana Token, and Cartian's Token must be combined. ### Step 9 - **Objective**: Receive Ancient Giant's Edana Token - **Summary**: The Ancient Dwarf's Edana Token, Ancient Giant's Edana Token, and Cartian's Token must be combined. ### Step 10 - **Objective**: Receive Cartian's Token - **Summary**: The Ancient Dwarf's Edana Token, Ancient Giant's Edana Token, and Cartian's Token must be combined. ### Step 11 - **Reward**: The effect of the Three Days of Darkness is thickening. Neruda Shen's influence is also becoming stronger. ### Step 12 - **Objective**: Continue conversing - **Summary**: It's true that Neruda Shen 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 - **Reward**: 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. The Shroud Knights are planning to seek the Prince's asylum in Valencia. Maudi Budar is negotiating terms as we speak with a delegation from Valencia at the Ancient Ruins Excavation Site discovered in Mediah. ### Step 15 - **Reward**: 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. 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 - **Objective**: Imagery of the Black Spirit - **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 - **Objective**: Give Pure Powder Reagent - **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 - **Reward**: Adventurer, may I appoint you as the Knight of Tarif? ### Step 27 - **Reward**: I appreciate your concern for Tarif. It gives me hope. ### Step 28 - **Objective**: Tell Ahon Kirus about Hasrah Ancient Ruins. - **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, we offer our gratitude. ### Step 29 - **Reward**: Ah, I will gladly be of help. I've yet to finish the gift you gave me last time.
