Lost Dream

Good to see you again! When I decoded the metal plate that you gave me, it turned out to be a research log from the lab. I still need to check something, however. Would you help me?

• "How?"

How are you? I certainly appreciate the assistance you provided me. If I need your help again, I won't hesitate to ask! In the meantime, I must take my leave...

(Only characters level 42 and above are permitted to undertake this quest.)

The research log on the metal plate contains a record of the Cruma, one of the ancient creatures born at the creation of the world. I have determined to ask the Elves about the location of the last Cruma. Magister Juris in the town of Giran may know something about this matter. Would you seek her out and ask her? She can be very difficult to find...

Why are you still here? There is no time to waste. Go find Magister Juris in the town of Giran and ask her about the last Cruma. If you are having second thoughts, I will ask somebody else to go.

Did you find her? She does know something about the Cruma, doesn't she?

• Tell him what you've learned.

I see... So it really is extinct. As I told you before, I doubt there is anything to be gained financially from this line of research. Still, any knowledge must possess some value, don't you think? In any event, thank you for your efforts.

I have one final favor to ask of you: would you tell Lorain that the work I asked her to do is now finished? I don't think there is a need for me to have any further contact with her...

Please do not waste any more time! Tell Lorain that the work I asked her to do is finished.

Thank you for your help, my friend. Please take this as a small token of my gratitude.

I should be happy to work with you again if the opportunity arises in the future. Farewell!

How can I help you?

• "I came to learn where the last Cruma is located."

Cruma...

Where did you learn that name?

• "It was contained in an old record of the Giants recovered from the Tower of Cruma."

Ah, I see. Well, I am afraid I must disappoint you. The Cruma are entirely extinct.

Do you know of the ancient war between the Elves and Humans? No? At that time, the last Cruma became our greatest ally. Despite its massive size and strength, though, we were overwhelmed by sheer number of Human warriors and forced to retreat. The Cruma fought a valiant rear-guard action, giving us the time to escape to a safe haven. In doing so, it was mortally wounded and fell in the place now called the Sea of Spores. That was the last of its kind, and none of its brethren roam this world in these latter days...

I already told you of the Cruma's fate. Your journey to find one is in vain. I am sorry...

Ah, you've returned! You must have successfully finished the job.

What did she say? Really? Hmm, perhaps she is not as odious as I believed. Thank you! I think our relationship has become better because of your help. Perhaps I should be more active in contacting her from now on...

Your news has filled me with new hope. Thank you! I'll take care of the debt with Kusto. Farewell!

Is that so? Well, I'll ask Kusto about the cost. At least we've finished one mission. Good job! I hope we can work together again. One last favor... On your way back, please tell Nikola that I'm not angry with him any more, and that I'm ready to work together again.

Good job! One last favor... On your way back, please tell Nikola that I'm not angry with him any more, and that I'm ready to work together again. Farewell, and may the hammer of Maphr make clear your path!
