The Other Side of Truth

Feeling better? You don't look quite so pale. How about a walk?

This road leads to the lake, good fresh air and exercise. There's someone you should meet there, then maybe you could come back here.

• I will go. Who should I meet?

Don't think about going here right now. You'll just end up dead. (Only character with level 53 or above can take on this quest.)

You need to meet a girl.

Why is your face red? It's hard for me to say no, you can do it for me.

It will be easy for you since you aren't emotionally involved. Take a look at the map, see this place called Frost Lake in the north west? You will meet a woman called Misa there. She is expecting me to meet her at night. I'm counting on you.

Well?? Never keep a lady waiting! Go see her at Frost Lake and come back. And stay out of trouble!

Where's my letter? I was a fool to trust you.

She sent you to deliver this letter? Let me see it.

It's already open... Did you open this?!

• Of course not!
• I opened it. Thought I should know what was inside.

Don't be upset!

I just saw the seal was broken.. forgive me, I did jump to conclusions. Some manners, huh?

Please forgive me.

It's just hard to trust people these days.

• What is going on?
• I don't need this.

Reading someone's personal mail is rude! My mother taught me good manners, too bad yours didn't.

I don't want to be angry with you. When you are well enough you should leave.

No offense, but the seal does look a bit strange.

It's a different world we live in. Please understand.

• Why don't you trust me?
• I will pass on this, I'm busy.

Speak, and do not lie to me. What's your relationship with Freya Queen?

• Who is she anyway?
• Do you think we are related somehow?

You are most understanding.

I feel I can relax around you a little.

I'm Rafforty, I work in the Jinia guild.

I'm sorry for testing you like that, I wouldn't have if it wasn't necessary. I really do have better manners than that. You're not related to Freya queen. So now we'd like to ask for your help. Will you lend us your considerable strength?

Or should I tell you more first?

• Jinia guild?....
• Who's Freya?
• What should I help you with?

Never heard of Freya, governor of this region?

You're clearly not related to her.

I wasn't up front with you, I'm sorry. In this business, it's better than trusting the wrong person.

Let me be up front with you now: Jinia guild wants your help. I know we've had a rough start, why don't I tell you more to win you over?

• Jinia guild?....
• Who's Freya?
• What do you want my help for?

Well... you're stuttering, so there is something... .

Are you just wasting my time?

I'm not going to play games. If we don't trust each other then you ought to leave when you are well enough to do so.

Jinia guild keeps the tradition of the Kana Knights, once proud guardians to Freya Queen before she became the Ice Queen.

Now we seek a return to her original self. Many guild members have given their last breath to this aim, and still we fail. We need a new approach before we don't have a guild left.

• Who is Freya?
• Sounds like my specialty.

Ice Queen Freya is the one who governs here. She wasn't always an Ice Queen.

For your sake, I hope you don't meet her.

• Jinia guild?
• Then, what can I help you with?

Were you daydreaming? Once more. Will you help the Jinia Guild?

If you can't decide, I can flip a coin for you. Or perhaps you'd like to know more?

• Jinia guild?...
• Who's Freya?
• What are you going to do?

The Jinia Guild wants to return Freya Queen to her original form. Misa is one such guild member. We'd like you to investigate, using information our brothers and sisters have died collecting.

Hm. I just received an urgent message. Come back later?

Misa sent word that she has important information. You know her face, you won't have trouble finding her. We need to confirm her information.

She is only available at night. Remember, she's at Lake Frost.

Deliver this letter, she'll handle the rest.

Lost? Just go meet her at the Frost Lake and confirm our information. The rest I leave to your best judgement.

Did you misplace the letter? You are testing my good nature...

Here. Give THIS letter to Misa. Seriously..

Misa says you're hard at work. I won't slow you down with idle chit chat.

Thank you, your help is most appreciated. So you found Kier's whereabouts? Our guild is one step closer to our goal now. And it's because of you. Again, thanks.

When you found Kier, did you discover anything else that may be of importance?

• Hand over a piece of the report.

Well I definitely recognize the code, it's similar to what we use. This code is very old though...

Can you come back later?

Perfect timing, adventurer. We decoded the report you gave us, it really shed light on a few things.

The report said that a piece of tablet is required to find the information...

Is there any chance you saw something like that, a piece of tablet while you were questing?

• Show the piece.
• Say you will look for it.

Ah.... Yes, this is it! I must start an investigation at once! Thank you for your help. Please accept this reward... It's not much, but it is a token of our appreciation for your hard work.

Hey...

Why the silly grin??

...

Is it what I think it is? Ha! You found it! I'll start investigating right away!

You did an excellent job, thanks! You definitely deserve this... here.

We are lost without that tablet.

You've probably already seen a few pieces of tablet...

Think back on what you saw... maybe that will help?

You can't be too far off, I'm sure you can find that piece.

Can you do us a favor? Can you find the piece of tablet, it's somewhere nearby.

Hey... you really did it! That really helps us out, and I think we can take it from here. I think you've earned this, I wish it was more but take it nonetheless.

(We looked around the sculpture and its surroundings, but there were no distinctive marks. Let's keep looking.)

I've already searched this area. I'll look somewhere else.

(I thought it wasn't time...)

But it seems something fell under the sculpture. What could it be?

• Pick up the lumps.
• Disregard.

(I can't tell what they might be used for, but I'll keep them just in case one is a clue. There is nothing else strange about them. Let's keep looking.)

Whatever it is, I doubt it's useful to me... I'll search some other sculptures now.

(There is something about this sculpture...

There are words written under the sculture. )

• Look around the floor.

The sculpture, at last! But I'm being tracked by the Queen...

...

I found Kier... what's left of him. Freya kept it hidden, somewhere never visited...

Southwest of the Labyrinth... her trace...

our last hope...

The sculpture... finally! But the Queen is tracking me...

...

I found Kier... kept in Freya's own territory, a spot unfrequented...

southwest of the Labyrinth... her trace...

our last hope...

This was the fragment that I passed up. Let's take it back to Rafforty.

(There's nothing left to be done here. Let's take the fragment to Rafforty.)

What brought you here?

Just enjoy the view, and be on your way.

You say that Rafforty sent you? I see...

Rafforty... he still won't talk to me. But would you be so kind as to give him this letter for me? Please, I'm desperate.

You're still here? It's quite cold! You should go at once! Please give this letter to Rafforty.

What do you want? I have nothing to say to you.

• Show Rafforty's letter.

Hey! You'll join! Let me start by wishing you good luck... I always start with that.

Now to get you up to speed. Guild informants have disappeared, one by one, while gathering information on the Queen...

We just learned why.

Or at least what. The Ice Queen transformed them... into ice. I just KNOW they were hot on the trail of something important! Can you pick up where the trail leaves off? Our associates were found in their cursed state on the plain above the North corner from the Ice Queen's castle entrance. You'll have to be careful.

What are you saying? Did you deliver the letter to Rafforty?

Did I forget to specify that it's urgent! You must go right away!

We learned where the informants are. Our people say they were turned into ice... Please investigate further. The place is the plain on the corner, North from the entrance to the Ice Queen's castle. Please!

(Looking around the ice sculpture, I found something. A piece of paper in his hands...

• Take out the paper.

(%$&@#$, ~!@@#$%#@ @#@ @$^&*@! @#$...

It's gibberish. Could be a code. Rafforty may know more.)

(Let's go visit Rafforty with this piece of paper. It could be important.)

(A piece of paper is on the ground. Be careful picking it up.)

(I haven't seen a tablet piece here. Let's go find another place.)
