# That's right, Jordine. How did you end up here?

**Quest Group**: 15266709
**Steps**: 10

## Summary

Why do you think? Are you truly so unaware, or simply looking to test me?
Did you not meet my other self at the Society of Equilibrium?
Word has already spread among the adventurers.
That's why every wandering Edana now makes their way to Edania.
Is that truly the substance of the rumor? A meager reason indeed, 
for so many to hazard themselves in such a wretched place.

## Walkthrough


### Step 1

- **Dialogue**: Oh, that didn't take long at all, did it? Hahaha.
So, who is this sharp-eyed Ganelle?


### Step 2

- **Reward**: I heard you've been keeping a low profile
because of the old Jordine's reputation. What brings you here?


### Step 3

- **Objective**: That's right, Jordine. How did you end up here?

- **Summary**: Why do you think? Are you truly so unaware, or simply looking to test me?
Did you not meet my other self at the Society of Equilibrium?
Word has already spread among the adventurers.
That's why every wandering Edana now makes their way to Edania.
Is that truly the substance of the rumor? A meager reason indeed, 
for so many to hazard themselves in such a wretched place.


### Step 4

- **Reward**: Haha. This young lady—she's sharper than she lets on.
You two know, don't you? What the King of Edana really is.


### Step 5

- **Objective**: Illezra said something similar...

- **Summary**: Exactly so! They say if you become the King of Edana,
you can break free from the Black Spirit's hold and master it, reborn anew.
That's why every adventurer possessed by a Black Spirit is flocking here.
If you're doomed to be consumed, may as well fight back, no?
What's that expression—surely this isn't your first time hearing of it?
Has the Society kept even you in the dark?
In the dark? That's not it at all, Jordine.
Besides, rumors grow wild in the telling.


### Step 6

- **Reward**: Yes, yes... tales never lose in the telling.
But as they say—where there's smoke, there's fire.


### Step 7

- **Objective**: I'm curious about that too, Orwen.

- **Summary**: So, what's the truth then?
Is this King of Edana no more than a fanciful legend?
The rumor about breaking free from the Black Spirit's grip
is just one of several theories we've come up with.
Actually, the whole idea of
a King of Edana started with Illezra.
We've searched every record the Society has,
but there's nothing about it.
The only thing we found was a single line:
"The King of Kabua overcame the darkness." That's it.
But then Bahram showed us
a record describing the Blackstar's Salvation.
It sounded a lot like the story about the King of Kabua,
so we guessed the King might be granted some kind of power.


### Step 8

- **Reward**: The King of Kabua...? Hah, that's ancient history.
But tell me, what brings you all the way out here, my friend?


### Step 9

- **Objective**: "You" said you wanted to settle things with me here.

- **Summary**: Did "I" now? Then my other self must have big plans.
I don't make claims like that unless I'm ready to see them through.
Ah, you must know the old Jordine well.
What do you believe he's planning? How should we prepare?
Who's to say? No matter how deep my hatred for Calpheon runs, 
even I can't guess the mind of a man who's joined forces with the Shadow Knights.


### Step 10

- **Reward**: Either way, we'll hunt him down first!
I've got a personal score to settle!
