Saga of Eva's Templar

When the Elder told me of a new Mother Tree Guardian, I thought of you.

I've seen a lot here in Aden. We should talk.

• Listen.

This is too dangerous for you.

Brother, don't be too proud! This pilgrimage is the path of legend. No one knows the danger that lies ahead. Come see me when you are better prepared!

(This quest may only be undertaken by a Temple Knight of level 76 or above.)

This journey may uncover some shameful parts of our Elven history.

Read the legend in this book about the Mother Tree Guardian who vowed to stop this pilgrimage. He felt an Elf should always protect the Mother tree and only help other Elves.

Meet with Master Bronwyn, a former guardian. He went into seclusion after relinquishing the fight against Humans.

Meet with Master Bronwyn of the Town of Goddard to begin the pilgrimage!

The highest honor amongst Elves is to be a Mother Tree Guardian. However, we are destined to leave the Mother Tree eventually. You sense this as well since you've been fighting so long.

Here many people gather and live preparing the future. We are saddened not to have your skills to protect the Mother Tree, but I feel you could better serve us by going on a pilgrimage that has long been forbidden. Will you do it?

• "Yes!"

Have you learned much?

I can't easily forget our past. I understand my limitations. Let me help you to find the right path.

• "What should I do now?"

You're no longer an ordinary Elven Knight! The Mother Tree you're protecting symbolizes the world that produced the tree. You're also guarding that world. From now on, live your life according to what you feel is right. That is the will of Eva!

You're no longer an ordinary Elven Knight! The Mother Tree you're protecting symbolizes the world that produced the tree. You're also guarding that world.

You need more experience!

You haven't recovered yet. Come back later.

(Only a character of level 76 or above is allowed to do a class transfer. Do not abandon quest before transfer is complete!)

Panacea speaks the truth. That's why I gave up and came back. We should no longer rely on the great history of our race to guide us.

Take pride in your heritage, but also understand and accept other races. If you only think of yourself, you can't protect and guide others.

• "What about the Resonance Amulet?"

The Ketra Orcs are in a territorial war with the Varka Silenos.

You'll end up fighting against the Varka Silenos if you help the Ketra Orcs. You can always switch sides. Remember, by choosing to fight for one side, you're fighting against the other!

It's your choice. Now go get the Divine Stone of Wisdom!

You choose to help the Varka Silenos in their territorial war with the Ketra Orcs? You can always switch sides.

Remember though, by choosing to fight for one side, you are fighting against the other! Now go get the Divine Stone of Wisdom!

You can't win their trust with force, you have to earn it.

Approach them patiently with a sincere heart.

Return when you have the Divine Stone of Wisdom!

The Divine Stone of Wisdom!

Panacea said entrusting the lesser Orcs with the key of binding would end up helping our enemies!

Should we have acted differently?

• ......

Go to the fourth tablet in the north of the Varka Silenos Camp. Your travel of the pilgrimage hasn't finished yet.

I possess the fourth Resonance Amulet.

Long ago, when Panacea blocked the path of this pilgrimage, he confronted her with his brother. The brother, the Starlight Knight Kastien, who was a Mother Tree Guardian, supposedly agreed with Panacea, but he gave me the Resonance Amulet, saying that it was not our place to block the pilgrimage that was ordained by the goddess Eva. At the same time, he created a seal that would allow its use only when helping another race...

That seal's key was broken in two and the pieces were given to a group of petty Orcs and the Silenos. They eventually became the Ketra Orcs and the Varka Silenos. Thus, you cannot obtain the key without befriending them.

So, pilgrim, which side will you visit?

• Ketra Orcs!
• Varka Silenos!

I learned from a preacher in the wasteland that I can communicate with lesser Orcs or Silenos.

Living beings may have different goals but we all share the same origin!

The Resonance Amulet has been activated! Take it and go to the fourth tablet in the north of the Varka Silenos Camp.

That's the darkness we Elves bear from our negligence! It allowed the Humans to betray us.

Brother, we must succeed for the sake of our future!

Stand back! This isn't your fight!

I missed again!

I can't do this alone, I need help.

Why are you hesitating? Raise your sword, Knight, and help break the chains that bind us to this darkness! Let's fight this together!

Can't you see I'm busy! Stand back!

It's finally come down...

Those chains that were wrapped around my elder brother's body... The evil spirit that our race raised and fostered... Thank you, brother. Without your help, it would have been difficult for us to bring it down.

Its true character is the wall that we Elves have raised. After being betrayed by other races, our hearts rejected associating with anyone other than Elvish kind. Betrayed and wounded, we raised this wall to protect our fragile pride and to end our ties with the world...

But our Elven race was not always this way. This is a story that you also know. The story about that pride, that we Elves must keep.

• "Pride?"

• "Pride?"

You've already broken the chains. You don't need to join this fight.

Find the answers you seek from the tablet!

I can't help you anymore. Find the answers you seek from the tablet!

The pride that comes from leading all the races.

Elves had to hold a vision for the future. That's why the goddess Eva created this pilgrimage.

The betrayal caused us to separate ourselves from others, but we can't go on this way.

Use this stone to commune with the tablet. Then you'll know what the goddess wanted.

Good luck, maybe we'll meet again.

• "Thanks for the stone."

The pride that comes from leading all the races.

Elves had to hold a vision for the future. That's why the goddess Eva created this pilgrimage.

The betrayal caused us to separate ourselves from others, but we can't go on this way.

Use this stone to commune with the tablet. Then you'll know what the goddess wanted.

As you near the Tablet of Vision, you sense a presence. It's a familiar one... Could it be the Mother Tree Guardian?

• "I've read it."

I feel his cold sense of abandonment and betrayal. Do my thought deceive me?

The anger and sense of loss are overwhelming! Who would so cruelly block the way of pilgrims for centuries? Can I defeat him?

The time has come to examine the Tablet of Vision. Panacea's attack continues!

You sense a disturbance near the tablet.

The time hasn't yet come for you to prove yourself.

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as soon as you near the Tablet of Vision.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. You hear the faint whisper of a woman's voice.

A vision appears of an indecisive Knight...

He turned back because he was persuaded by Panacea. He looks unfamiliar but common.

He is Master Sinden of the Town of Aden.

Further communion with this tablet is futile.

Get the next Resonance Amulet from Elven Master Sinden at Sedrick's Training Hall in the Town of Aden.

You feel a strange presence as you approach the tablet. It is the seal that binds Panacea, wilts the Mother Tree and confines the Elves.

It is the curse that was cast upon all Elves. Our souls were bound by our own hands! That is the image of the fourth daughter who is fearfully hiding in the water. ...The stone tablet stands before you. Was that a mere illusion? You hear movement behind you.

• Turn around

Suddenly, you're paralyzed! You can barely breathe! Order of Tetrarch, Mask of Guardian! Perished Elves of Light!

The tablet is still and dark.

Have a talk with Kastian here.

You feel a presence as you approach the tablet.

There's a disturbance going on somewhere. Best not to get involved.

Wait and see what happens.

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as you draw near the tablet.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. It seems that I heard someone laughing.

The man said. "One more hero you wanted is born here again."

A lady with blue clothes answered. "No, he is just a baby who starts toddling. But, he won't be only under his mother's protection anymore"

A goddess engraved on the way of pilgrimage like this: You are free beings. Yoke called Race, Negligence called Stability. The Elf that got hurt by betrayal, closed the door to the world and stopped breathing. The Mother Tree being rotten.

A voice is heard from the head.

Baby, you are now ready to help me. Then, go back to Aden and put an end to your pilgrimage. In my Temple, you will keep my honor.

Further communion with this tablet would be futile. Go back to Master Sinden of the Town of Aden and put an end to your pilgrimage.

... journey of the pilgrimage? Are you saying there is someone who still does that now? How surprising...! But, you can't leave for the journey of the pilgrimage now. I can't give you the blessing.

Originally, I'm supposed to give back the stone of blessing to the one that is taking the journey, but I can't give it back to you now.

• Ask for the reason.

First I need some Pure Ice. Chef Donath in the hot springs area of Goddard Territory knows how to find some.

Pure Ice! I didn't know you could still get it. With this I can restore life to the stone of blessing!

This pilgrimage started when the goddess Eva sent young Elves to explore and experience the outside world. Other guilds now use it as a test to find out who's the most capable.

Now, you must visit the six tablets. The stone of blessing, or Resonance Amulet, will lead you to the tablets.

• "What's a Resonance Amulet?"

Pilgrim of goddess, you still have not finished the pilgrimage. Go to the first stone tablet in the South of Tower of Insolence

To restore life to the stone of blessing, I need the Pure Ice and the breath of the ancestors. I can get the latter, but the Pure Ice...

Head north to the hot springs region of Goddard Territory and meet with Chef Donath, the best chef in the land. He can help you find some, if he's the best chef as rumor has it.

Or...oh, never mind. That's impossible. Find him. It's your only hope.

Please wait. After I heat the Pure Ice and extract a drop, I can restore the stone of blessing.

Now it contains the power of the goddess Eva. Find the first stone tablet south of the Tower of Insolence to begin your pilgrimage. While holding this stone, examine the tablet. The stone will take care of the rest.

You're now a pilgrim of the goddess! May your path always be blessed.

What can I help you with? Ice of purity? What is that?

What? You mean from the ancient Elven book of recipes? Oh, that! You must've been sent by Elven Master Bronwyn!

• "Yes, you're right."

You haven't obtained the ingredients yet? Without an Ice Crystal and the fish, I can't make the ice of purity!

Ask Chef Jeremy about the Ice Crystal, and you'll have to look for the fat white fish on your own.

You brought the Ice Crystal and the fish?

This fish is supposed to contain the water of the beginning. Thus, you can get the water which supposedly flowed from the Mother Tree at the beginning of time if you carefully distilled the juice of this fish.

When we let it flow over this Ice Crystal...

• Watch him.

I already gave you the ice of purity. Isn't Master Bronwyn waiting for you?

Oh, I see. Once one had to go to the land of ice to obtain it. But now, it's possible to make it here.

I can do it. First of all, bring me the legendary food material, Ice Crystal and a fat white fish.

You can get the Ice Crystal from Chef Jeremy. He'll likely want something in return. Who knows? He may ask you to fight a yeti!

Here is the ice of purity made with the purest of water. Long ago, while seeking high quality water, I asked Master Bronwyn for advice. He taught me this method. First you must find the purest water.

Since I couldn't find the Ice Crystal on my own, I put aside the information for later use. Now, return to Master Bronwyn.

Hieroglyphics are engraved on the tablet. The Resonance Amulet for this tablet is being held by one of the Guardians of Forbidden Knowledge.

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as soon as you near the Tablet of Vision.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. You hear the faint whisper of a woman's voice.

Suddenly the noble face of a heroic Elven warrior appears before you. Betrayed by Humans, and then seemingly the entire world, he closed his mind and sealed the Elven Holy Land!

He is waiting at the next tablet, near the border to the Northern Post.

Communing further with this tablet would be futile.

Now you must confront Soul Trap Elf Panacea. Prepare for battle!

The tablet is still and dark.

The Resonance Amulet that can access this tablet can be found at the Wall of Argos or the Imperial Tomb.

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as you approach the Tablet of Vision.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

A sharp blast of knowlege courses through your cranium! A vision appears of a black knight!

And there is your old comrade Panacea! What is that substance holding him?! Chains that have bound him!

You sense a power that rejects change because of a desire for rest...

You sense that weariness coming over you. The next Resonance Amulet is in the northern Forsaken Plains!

You do not need this tablet anymore. The next Resonance Amulet is at the northern part of the Prairie of Oblivion.

Cannot forget the plight of my friend Panacea! What was it? It seems not only familiar, but thrilling.

Are you the pilgrim that I've been expecting? I heard about a long-sealed Elven pilgrim being released recently, but I certainly didn't expect to meet him!

You must be here for the Resonance Amulet. If I remember correctly, you should be getting the location of the next amulet from the Tablet of Vision, right?

Sorry, but this one belongs to me and you can't have it!

• "Why not?"

If you enter the Imperial Tomb, or fight in the Shrine of Loyalty near the Wall of Argos, you will be able to meet the Archon or Inferiors of Halisha. You can get this amulet if you defeat them.

Do you understand? If you want this amulet, you need to defeat Halisha's Inferiors or Archon. The Resonance Amulet will let you know where the fifth tablet is.

This is the material that I use for my study. Because the power of Goddess Eva and other powers are swirling in the amulet...

And also because this Resonance Amulet is not impossible to get. Those who have this Resonance Amulet are Demon Halisha's Inferiors. If you enter the Imperial Tomb, or fight in the Shrine of Loyalty near the Wall of Argos, you will be able to meet the Archon or Inferiors of Halisha. You can get this amulet if you defeat them.

Do you understand? If you want this amulet, you need to defeat Halisha's Inferiors or Archon. The Resonance Amulet will let you know where the fifth tablet is.

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as soon as you near the Tablet of Vision.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. A female voice seems to float on by as if the wind were singing...

You sense that the stone is being held by sword-clad guards in the southern Valley of the Saints.

Further communion with this tablet is futile. The next Resonance Amulet is being held by the Guardians of Forbidden Knowledge in the southern Valley of the Saints. Kill them and take it!

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as you approach the Tablet of Vision.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. A vision appears of a mysterious black knight...

An Elven Tetrarch holding the Resonance Amulet, and a man in agony...

Find the Elven Tetrarch Cerenas in the Town of Goddard.

Fiddling with this tablet further is futile.

Find the Priest Cerenas, Elven Tetrarch in the Town of Goddard.
