Quest Group: 123545 — 14 steps

Listen to Giovan Grolin.

The problem lies with the fact that this was all a cover up to hide something important.
Most of the Kalis Parliament, including myself, have no clue on what exactly.
I recently discovered that a group of soldiers from the Elion Church
set up a camp in secret around the area.
Why would the church send troops to a territory closed off due to the rampant disease? For what purpose?
And does this not mean that there is some measure that can make people immune to the sickness?
But why are they hiding that truth away from us?
The Calpheon Refugee Camp became the Abandoned Land because of their lies!

Step 4
I thought it strange when I noticed Chief Councilor Feresio was reluctant to say anything more about this.
However, everything became clear after I met with Kalshur right here.
Step 5
Objective Listen to Kalshur Dhillar NPC Knowledge.
Summary Haha. You give me too much credit, my friend.
I was just an ordinary merchant looking to strike gold when the Blackstar fell into the northwest back then.
8 years ago, I saw that large meteorite tear through the sky on that fateful day.
Thus, I know for certain that Heidel had nothing to do with the plague.
It was a huge opportunity to make a killing, but I decided against it,
for I didn't want to lose my life to the plague in the process!
And yet, I've patiently waited for the opportune moment to return there.
Eventually, I came across the members of the Comitia of Tantinis.
Although we have different reasons for heading northwest, I've been supporting them financially
and that's led me to meet with you as well! A win-win situation if you ask me!
Step 6
I believe that the northwestern lands are habitable.
Why don't you first listen to what Mera has to say about that?
Step 7
Objective Listen to Kalshur's colleague, Meroa Ranchi.
Summary I was a well-known smuggler at Epheria.
The fact that it's a no trespassing zone only piqued my interest.
But something caught my attention when I was nearby one day.
I saw couple of people standing around the closed off area.
As soon as I saw the red priest robe, I knew that they were priest of the Elion Church.
The area looked different compared to the Ashen Plague infested Abandoned Land.
The area looked as if it was completely cleansed with no signs of plague.
I moved closer to the coast to get a better look
and heard roars and shouts from the men as if they were in preparation for war!
That's when I realized that it was none other than an army!
Step 8
I'd appreciate if you don't use the word smuggler, haha.
Anyway, why do you think the land was prohibited to approach if it wasn't for the plague?
Step 9
Objective Listen to Giovan Grolin NPC Knowledge.
Summary If the land was inhabitable,
why is that those infected live in agony and pain in the Abandoned Land?
Who are they, and why are they not returning to the capital?
Why is the Elion Church only helping them?
If the land where the Ashen Plague first started is inhabitable,
it means that the infected at the Abandoned Land can be cured as well!
With the support of Kalshur, the Comitia of Tantinis
will uncover the truth of the northwest.
There is no doubt that the Elion Church is hiding something.
Perhaps another entity of greater power is manipulating the Elion Church.
They are using the Abandoned Land as an excuse to prevent people from moving there.
We need to uncover the activities at the northwest
and find out why they cannot return to the Abandoned Land.
We will not rest until we find the cure!
Step 10
You've made it back! I am glad to see you, haha!
I didn't know Kalshur had a child! It was very emotional.
Step 11
Objective Hand over Ashen Plague Cure Formula.
Summary How is this possible...?
Are you telling me the infected from the Abandoned Land has been cured?
Does this mean we can finally cure all those infected by the Ashen Plague?
But how did you... where did you find the cure?
Step 12
They've attempted to take control of Calpheon for some time now...
I heard it from the child. As if mutilating his mother wasn't enough... Unbelievable!
Step 13
Objective Hand over the incomplete Ashen Plague Bomb.
Summary What is this? Why... I don't understand!
A weapon forged using the source of the plague from the Blackstar?
I don't understand how anyone would take
advantage of the Blackstar to fulfill their selfish needs!
I would find and reveal those responsible for this atrocious act and
drive out the corrupted priests of Elion Church right now...
but the situation can quickly escalate and get out of hand if we're not careful.
I heard from the child about the farm in northwest.
A god that grants wishes...
I believe they are the descendants of the followers of Kzarka Cult.
They're the people of the old western ancient temple
who survived from the dangers of the Blackstar.
However, their intentions weren't as pure as they outwardly appeared.
But thanks to you, we're finally able to identify the source of corruption.
The ones taking hold of Northwestern Calpheon,
are none other than the Fraternity of Light!
They're so deeply penetrated into Calpheon that Kalis Parliament is not aware of them,
but we will take your evidence and reveal the truth.
Step 14
Objective Listen to Kalshur Dhillar NPC Knowledge.
Summary I have something to give you.
This will suit you perfectly.
Unlike something that can have its value calculated with money,
I believe it'll have a different value to you.
Although I've never been to Star's End,
I was fortunate enough to get hold of some of the relics from there.
It was an item that resembled a ring which was engraved with strange writings,
and also a strange looking stone that was unidentifiable.
I've asked everyone I knew to help me,
but we couldn't interpret or find anything of value.
Although I do want to continue researching to find out what they are,
I believe you'll put this to greater use.
Please accept it. I understand it's not much,
but it's something of great value to me.
