Chapter 1: Construction of Atoraxxion

Rux Maha Dehkia.
A figure of the Ancient civilization of Kabua.
During the fruitful age of Agris,
he was an astrologer who foresaw the coming of the Dark Invaders.
Not one to succumb to the norms of society,
he was the architect responsible for the construction of the stronghold Atoraxxion.
To prepare for the final day of battle that would occur 49 years later,
he sealed himself in Atoraxxion and left behind a replica "Dehkia."
He also took four war orphans as his disciples, his "Dehkimas", and
tasked them with the completion of Atoraxxion.
The Dehkimas built four biomes, inspired by the diverse environments
they encountered around the world.
They came to be known as
Vahmalkea, Sycrakea, Yolunakea, and Orzekea.
Atoraxxion is quite unlike the other ruins we've discovered so far.
The entrance, or "Talibre's Door", that we discovered in the Ancient Stone Chamber-
The door that you were the first to discover, Martha.
Much to my amazement.
... Quite... But as I was saying, the first biome we
discovered recently, Vahmalkea,
is still very much functional, and is still carrying out its intended role of guarding against
black spirits... as our companion, Adventurer, here can attest.

Step 2
Objective Chapter 2: Atoraxxion Awakens
Summary Sealed shut without any external stimulation for many years,
the stronghold was finally awakened by none other than...
Illezra. The same witch responsible for the
Three Days of Darkness that descended over Mediah.
Well... technically speaking, we awoke it.
But only because Illezra was manipulating us!
The stronghold was "awakened"?
That seems quite a strange phrase to use.
You speak as if the stronghold is... alive and breathing.
What am I missing here?
And what do you mean "we awoke it"?
Oh, Martha. What exactly happened in that stronghold?
Edan, that's what she's trying to do. Honestly, you're as dense as a Stoneback Crab NPC Knowledge.
Stop interrupting every few seconds
You weren't there to see it for yourself, so of course it all sounds strange.
But I tell you this, there was nothing "ancient" about that place. It was all so advanced...
Devices were decked throughout the stronghold to detect
the Dark Invaders' wavelengths, and when it did, it sprang back to life.
Based on Vaha's Records that Yaz found,
and the words of that witch Illezra...
Atoraxxion must first be "awakened"
to "raise the Heart of Atomagia from slumber."
And that could only occur with the death of Lucretia,
the Ancient Weapon who stood guard over the Cradle of Vahmalkea.
...And Lucretia was only able to awaken
due to the detection of the Dark Invaders... that is to say, the Black Spirit NPC Knowledge.
Step 3
Objective Chapter 3: Illezra's Intention
Summary Which means the witch didn't wish to sacrifice her own black spirit NPC Knowledge
to awaken Atoraxxion... so sent us in her place instead!!
You're such a dolt...
Now do you finally get it?
From the very beginning, her target has only ever been
the "Heart of Atomagia."
And yet, we ourselves have discovered nothing new
in regards to the heart.
All we know is that the heart is the "true strength of this stronghold",
if Vaha and Dehkia's recordings are anything to go by.
And the ancient text we found that read "Save me",
"Get me out", and "I'm waiting"...
We thought to find traces of the architects
from within the stronghold, yet...
... there still seems to be no trace of them whatsoever.

My current speculation is that Illezra may have kidnapped them
and is planning who knows what..!
Step 4
And what about you? What have you contributed?
Another word from you and I'll lose it!
Step 5
Have you already forgotten I'm only explaining this once?
No? Then put a sock in it and listen!
Step 6
Quest Text Is there ever a time that mouth of yours isn't flapping?
Oh! Just pretend you didn't hear that.
Step 7
Is there ever a time that mouth of yours isn't flapping?
Oh! Just pretend you didn't hear that.
Step 8
Would you mind striking out for the Forest of Seclusion first?
We'll follow shortly after we finish organizing these documents we received from the society.
Step 9
Objective Chapter 6: The Heart's Activation
Summary Hmm, seems like we don't have any options left but to follow the witch into Yolunakea.
We need to stop her from activating the Heart of Atomagia.
Yes. I think that much was already quite apparent. Thank you, Edan.
Hmm... The heart is activated by "blood shed in fierce competition" or "sacrifice"...
Judging from those messages, "Save me", "Get me out", "I'm waiting"...
We can be fairly certain that Illezra plans to use the architects as sacrificial offerings.
Step 10
The people that left with Silverfrond... were called the Knights of Dawn, right?
Where did they take the flame instead of returning it?
Step 11
Objective Chapter 5: Ynix's Whereabouts
Summary Weren't you just lazing about while Yaz and the rest of us
were trying to save the world? All you have is your good-for-nothing mouth!
So, again, what are you going to do about it?

Right, Illezra! We couldn't afford to be playthings of that witch any longer!
So we went after her ultimate goal, the Ynix.
So we sent our hero to seal it tight in Everfrost!
But instead, we found something unexpected where the Ynix should have been.
The Ynix... Labreska's death confirms the flame
isn't within the bounds of Everfrost as well.
Because, if the flame burnt Kzarka of Orzeca
and was then returned, Labreska wouldn't have perished.
Step 12
That's why we changed our course to Everfrost!
Do you really feel no shame in being so judgmental?
Step 13
Objective Chapter 4: The Heart of Atomagia
Summary Atoraxxion, the great stronghold designed to fend off the black spirits,
was built by Rux Maha Dehkia and his four disciples, the Dehkimas.
In Sycrakea, we revealed
the true nature of the Heart of Atomagia.
The heart is capable of commanding the 100,000 Ator as well as
relaying thoughts and emotions between the four Dehkimas.
If destroyed,
Atoraxxion will be assumed to have fallen,
and the 100,000 Ator will be ordered
to mercilessly slaughter eveything in sight. A truly fearsome device!
And you just let it fall into Illezra's hands, did you?
She pulled your strings throughout Vahmalkea...
Step 14
Okay, Lafi. You don't have more time to spare.
Let's begin the exploration report of Sycrakea and Everfrost.
Step 15
Laa~fii~! How many times do I have to tell you?
What Jordine NPC Knowledge took is not the Ynix!
Step 16
Haha, calm down everyone.
How come is this only his fault?
Step 17
Objective Hand over Cold Draft Beer x3.
Summary (You hand over the Cold Draft Beer.
They remain quiet, but seems like they're quite sorry.)
Step 18
Objective Hand over Serendia Meal Knowledge Item.
Summary (You hand over the Serendia Meal Knowledge Item.
They appear very apologetic.)
