What's going on here?

I don't recognize you... Who are you?
Are you one of the Edanas who managed to get this far?
You made it past the gate, so you must have some skill...
Better than the other wanderers, at least.
Still, I don't trust you lot—not yet.
Why do so many flock to this cursed place?

Step 3
Objective What's going on here?
Summary I don't recognize you... Who are you?
I know all the brothers in Edania, and yet, never seen you around...
Probably just a runaway who couldn't take the pressure and quit.
One of those who couldn't handle it and fled.
You made it past the gate, so you must have some skill...
Better than the other wanderers, at least.
Still, I don't trust you lot—not yet.

Step 4
You! Pull yourself together! Move!
You wanna live forever?! Huh?!
Step 5
Apologies. Between the swarming fiends and these self-proclaimed Edanas,
the brothers are on edge.
Step 6
So... did you come here looking for the scouting party?
As you can see... Ugh. This is all that's left of us.
Step 7
I'm Simba, leader of the Sand Scorpion scouting party.
We've been investigating the strange phenomena here.
Step 8
We tried everything, but nothing worked.
Then we noticed one thing all the victims have in common.
Step 9
We barely managed to fight them off and
tried to help our fallen comrades, but... they all—
Step 10
Objective Show him Bahram NPC Knowledge's Seal.
Summary I... Isn't that Bahram NPC Knowledge's seal? ...I see.
In that case, you're one of us now.
Ugh... Please forgive what I said earlier.
If you have his seal, I trust you.
Step 11
Objective Show him Bahram NPC Knowledge's Seal.
Summary I... Isn't that Bahram NPC Knowledge's seal? ...I see.
In that case, you're one of us now.
If you're here with that seal,
you're no ordinary Hashashin.
Ugh... Please forgive what I said earlier.
If you have his seal, I trust you.
Were you on a pilgrimage or something?
Whatever the case, you came back at the right time—we need you.
Step 12
Objective Scouting party...?
Summary Yes. We guard the gate to Edania
while also investigating the depths beyond.
"Know thy self, know thy enemy," right?
We need to understand what's inside to prepare for what's to come.
Step 13
Objective Scouting party...?
Summary As you know, we've been running scouting missions
investigating deep into Edania.
The region's been mostly untouched... until recently.
Something happened, and we had no choice but to step in.
Step 14
Objective Strange phenomena?
Summary Recently, more and more of our brothers
have been struck by a strange illness.
Their bodies stiffen, and slowly, they turn to stone.
We've never seen this before and have no idea what's causing it.
Step 15
Objective What is it?
Summary Every one of them... had explored this region.
Some even spoke of... visions. Of Mermaids.
But that's impossible, isn't it? Merfolk were wiped out—extinct.
So why are they seeing visions of them...? What could it mean?
Our scouting party used to be dozens strong,
but monsters ambushed us and... Ugh...
Step 16
Objective Let me come with you.
Summary Heh... I appreciate it, but the transformation
has already started in us, too...
This has to be a curse.
The lingering hatred of the extinct Merfolk!
I think when the Merfolk who once lived here were wiped out,
they left behind a curse fueled by their resentment.
Step 17
I apologize for my brother's behavior earlier.
Now, tell me—how did you manage to get this far?
Step 18
You! Pull yourself together! Move!
You wanna live forever?! Huh?!
