Seven Signs, To the Monastery of Silence

Well, it's time for us to get moving. I think I know what I must do to get what I want.

• What is it?

We have completed everything for now. But stay vigilant, I will neeed your help for other things.

(You have already completed this quest.)

We accomplished more from the Library of Sages than we first thought. We learned that the information I need about Embryo is in a place called the Monastery of Silence.

The problem is where that information is located in the Monastery. We will just have to search... Are you almost ready?

• I'm ready.
• I'm not ready yet.

We were looking for information from the book we found in Rune's Library. There was a cryptic phrase, "At the large path to the library, turn the outer block of the Monastery, you will find a device to the Abbot's Room," written in special ink. We have to find that teleport device.

Go get ready, we leave for the Monastery of Silence. We might find something if we search the back of the library. You go first and start searching, I'll go as soon as I'm ready.

What happened? Don't you think it's best to get rid of them quickly? I won't wait all day, but if you have something else to do right now you may as well get it done and come back.

It's time for us to get moving. I realize now what I must do to get what I want.

And what would that be?

The path to Abbot's Room from the Monastery of Silence means there is a teleporter hidden somewhere inside the main room connected to the library. We should find that teleporter. Get ready and we'll leave for the Monastery of Silence.

We might find something if we search the back of library. I'll need some time to get ready, you should go searching without me and I'll catch up later.

What are you doing here? We should have searched the Abbot's Room in the Monastery of Silence. Let's go back to the Monastery of Silence.

What? What is the relationship between Hardin and me? Well... We weren't lovers if that's what you were wondering. Hardin is one of the only Grand Magicians in the world. He and I know each other, that's all. Hardin is a friend of a friend.

• Hardin is a friend of Elcadia's friend?

Yes, sort of. It's nothing that needs to be known. Listen, we'll be working together, but we have no relationship beyond this contract. Sharing personal details about ourselves won't help our cause.

Of course, it has nothing to do with trust. Don't get me wrong, this is just business.

Enough chatting. Can you do what I asked and go see Hardin?

Okay. In the Monastery of Silence, there is a teleporter to the Abbot's Room hidden somewhere inside the main room to the library.

We have to find that teleporter. As soon as you are ready we will leave for the Monastery of Silence.

Perhaps if we look behind the library we will find something. I'll go after you, you go first and start searching.

Welcome. I knew you would find me, no matter how long it took. I am Eris, the Abbot of this monastery. I don't know how many years have passed waiting, and waiting, AND waiting, but no more. This day has finally come.

• Are you Eris, Solina's disciple?

Yes. I am Eris, Abbot of this Monastery. I am a diciple of Solina, also called Saintess of Elmore-Aden. You look surprised, and I imagine you should be. By now you've noticed, I'm not really alive. This is the result of my training, years of practicing asceticism, a lifetime spent following Solina.

• What is that power?

The image you see is mine, it is my soul, bound to this room. I died here, and in my last thoughts I used my skills to bind myself to the Abbot's Room.

Believe me when I say, I've been waiting for someone like you to come along. I only pray you are the one. Now, tell me why you're here.

• We are here to obtain the real version of Solina's Biography.

Solina's biography was written during the era of the Elmoreden Kingdom, shortly before its demise. The true biography you're talking about is one that recorded Solina's life as it actually occurred, and not as she would have distorted it.

Regarding that record, there is a memoir written by Kaerun, my husband and Solina's disciple.

• If so, please let me read that book.

Unfortunately, I don't have that book. Nor can I determine if you're qualified to see it in the first place. The biography you seek is divided and protected by guardians selected by Solina and Anays. You can become qualified, however, if you're interested? If you want, I will send you there.

• Send me there.
• I'm not ready yet.

I see... Tell me when you're ready.

Okay. If that's so, I will send you to the Holy Tomb. Hear the instructions about the Proof of Qualification from the Guardian of Relics, waiting in the center. Gather yourself, tell me when you are ready.

• Waiting on you, Sister.

Okay. I will send you to the Holy Tomb. You can get instructions for the Proof of Qualification from the Guardian of Relics. He waits in the center. Calm yourself, and tell me when you are ready.

• I'm ready.

I guess that works. Now, I know little of the greater world out there, but if it relates to the Monastery of Silence and Solina's life, I may know something. Lady of Fate, what is it you truly seek?

• I want the truth of Embryo.

Embryo. Ah. As I expected, what Solina said is correct. I have not spent all these years waiting for you in vain. Now, Embryo... I will help you with this darkness.

On second thought... Perhaps we should rest a moment. The journey from here is a long one. I hope you will be ready for it.

I'm sorry, but you're different than when we talked the first time. I want you to come back to your original form to continue our conversation. (You cannot complete the quest when you're in a sub job condition.)

If you want to prove your qualifications, find the true piece Kaerun's Memoir among the reading desks in this room. Then, if you are truly qualified, you will be able to answer our questions.

You haven't proven your qualification. You will stay in this room until you complete the qualification.

So as soon as possible, you should activate the reading desk where the correct memoir is placed to cancel the seal.

You are qualified to have Kaerun's Memoir. Let it be written, and let all who have eyes read it. Then, let all who have ears hear me proclaim your qualification.

And that pretty much ends your task here.

• Return to the guardian's room.

I hereby confirm that you chose the correct memoir. As a final test, I will ask a simple question. If you've been reading, you will know the answer. If you don't know the answer, not only will you not get the memoir, but you won't be able to leave either.

• Studying isn't a strength for my class, but I'm ready for the test.

We shall see. Here is my question.

What is the most important virtue among Solina's 5 teachings?

• repentance
• abstinence
• sacrifice
• silence

Incorrect. Check the contents and take the test again.

Incorrect. Check the contents and take the test again.

Hey, don't tell the other watchers... but I'm rooting for you!

Incorrect. Check the contents, drink coffee, and take the test again.

Wrong!

I mean... Correct. That was correct. Sorry. You can leave now.

Hm... you came here to see me again. Are you here running Elcadia's errand this time, too? Haha. It'd be better if she came here to ask me herself.

• "I need information about the Monastery of Silence."

The Monastery of Silence... finally, you've found about it! Hahaha! It looks like you've uncovered the information you needed, hmm? As you no doubt noted in the book, the Monastery of Silence is a huge place where Saintess Solina and her disciples once lived. Even now, her followers allow visitors in while keeping their traditional ways.

• "How do I get there?"

Abbot's Room... the Abbot's Room at the Monastery of Silence is where you'll find Eris, the Sister of Silence Eris and the most venerable disciple of Saintess Solina. Most of the people who have tried to find the room do it to take possession of the Grail of the Great Einhasad. Hmm, do you know why you want to go to Abbot's Room?

• "I Think that the genuine book they are looking for might be stored there."

Oh... Elcadia. You, too, have deeper insight than I expected. I was asked to help you if you asked for my help, Elcadia. The truth you are seeking will be revealed only when we go to the room together. This whole thing started from there.

• "How do we get there?"

Hmm... speaking based on the information I found from the records regarding ancient Elmore-Aden...

Outside of the Monastery of Silence, there is a secret room between the Abbot's Room and the library.

• "Where exactly?"

Wait... Even I do not have right answers to all the problems in this world. I'd like you to help me while I come up with the solution.

Do you know the Forest of Dead? I occassionally visit the forest for research and I had forgotten a request from an aquaintance of mine. I would like you to defeat 20 Vampire Magisters and 20 Vampire Wizards in the Forest of Dead for me.

You should defeat 20 Vampire Magisters and 20 Vampire Wizards.

In the mean time, I will think about how to get to the Abbot's Room.

Hmm... speaking based on the information I found from the records regarding ancient Elmore-Aden...

Outside of the Monastery of Silence, there is a secret room between the Abbot's Room and the library.

• "I need more details than that."

It says here, once you reach the path toward the giant library after circumventing the outskirts of the monastery, there is transportation equipment that will take you to the Abbot's Room. Of course, there is no map that depicts it exactly - the Monastery of Silence has been cloaked in mystery for many, many years.

All the best...

All the best...

Are you one of chosen qualified? Only those who are qualified may enter. Refrain from wandering this sacred place.

• I am qualified to acquire Kaerun's Memoir.
• Ask how to acquire Kaerun's Memoir.
• Return to Eris's Office.

Kaerun didn't want his memoirs published, he was afraid of the chaos they might cause. But if you're qualified, you can enter under the protection of Solina, or under Kaerun's wishes. If you bring all four memoirs, hidden in every direction from here, I'll allow you to take Kaerun's Memoir and leave.

OK. In each one of the watcher's rooms, find and activate the desk with Kaerun's Memoir among the four books guarded by the watchers. When you activate the correct reading desk the protection seal will be canceled and you can finally access it.

However, once you enter one of the watcher's rooms, you won't be able to leave until you complete the mission there.

I confirm your completion in the qualification process. I hereby announce that you are one Solina's rightfully chosen. You may now do what you came to do here.

If you've finished what you planned to do here, I'll let you return.

• I'll return.

Somewhere around here should be an office for Eris, the Abbot of the Monastery of Silence. Rumor has it that the Monastery's library is connected through the Abbot's Room. We should find the Abbot's Room first.

Let's find Eris and try to articulate our purpose.

Hmm... I must report this to Eris.

You shouldn't have come here yet... Are you saying otherwise? Do you even know where this is located?

The group that followed Solina quickly grew several thousand strong, including seven who had proclaimed themselves disciples to her work. Also in tow was the great High Priest Anais, Bustia, the Strategist and Guardian of the Elmore-Aden Kingdom, Priestess of Silence Aeries, her husband and the famous writer Kaerun, the Master Merchant Rodolph Van Etina and his son Jude van Etina of the Etina Merchants. But there was another disciple who was not ever written in Solina's history books, a man rumored known as the Black Knight.

The King and his followers ended up having to restrict Solina's activities. She'd begun to threaten the very country's existence, resulting in Elmore-Aden Guards travelling to the Monastery of Silence to kill Solina and her disciples. Solina fought back, her army led by her trusted Disciples and Solina's apprentice, Inais. They fought bravely, but soon Solina was taken by the King's guards. Within one week, she was sentenced to death for treason.

King Frintezza and his followers were threatened by Solina. At one stage, conversations between her disciples criticizing the King and his policies were leaked, leading Frintezza to accuse Solina and her followers of treason. Even though the accusations could not be proven, Solina nevertheless stopped her pilgrimage and returned to her monastery with her disciples and followers. This monastery, the Monastery of Silence, still stands today on the outskirts of Rune.

Solina pledged to right the wrongs her father had committed against the Goddess Einhasad. Eventually, Solina became the Saintess of Elmore-Aden and was known for being the saintess who would bear the weight of other people's sin across her back.

You? Is there any reason why Lady needs to see you?

• I am here to see Elcadia.

Lady is waiting for you, let's not keep her waiting. Go inside.

• Enter

Lady is waiting for you, go inside. You don't want to keep her waiting.

• Enter

Get lost. Try the Monastery of Silence, I believe Elcadia is waiting.

The Holy Tomb.. A strong power protects these books. The book we need must be on one of the 4 reading desks in each room. We must be meticulous and examine each one carefully.

I think we've gathered information from every watcher's room. Let's go back to the Guardian in the central room.

We should return to Eris and report all that we've seen and heard.

There's a globe with a strange aura. When you touch the globe, an image of a small room with books and supplies shows.

• Activate the globe and go to the room.

……

This phantom looks like Solina, Elmore-Aden's Saintess. The phantom appears to be trying to say something. It looks like she doesn't intend to harm us...

How dare you.... Do you test my wrath?? No one interupts Solina's resting place! Leave before I remove your head from its body!

You.... Death to invaders who disturb this place... Be gone, lest an eternity of pain is what you seek. I will punish those who disturb Solina's records...

You tempt a fate worse than death! Leave! Never disturb Solina's resting place!
