Квест на ноблес, частина 1

Do you know the story of the seventeen heroes who challenged the Land Dragon Antharas? It's fascinating! Such a heroic sacrifice! It could be an epic poem! In fact, it's one of my all-time favorite stories! It's what motivated me to become a bohemian poet! It's always been my dream to write a great epic poem tying all the pieces of this story together.

Unfortunately, I only know a few fragments of it that I heard from my grandfather. I'm trying to collect everything I can about this story. I'm looking for someone who can help me. Will you do it?

• "I'll help you."

Awesome! Thank you! Now, where should we begin? I suppose we should speak to the ones who know the story best.

A descendant of one of the seventeen heroes is living in the Town of Giran. Her name is Gabrielle. I couldn't even think of visiting her, since I'd have to cross the Death Pass. Would you visit her on my behalf? She probably has literature or materials related to her ancestor!

Why haven't you left yet? Do I need to remind you how important this is? Visit Gabrielle in the Town of Giran and ask her to tell you the story of the seventeen heroes.

Come in! Is this the record? Great job! The record of the seventeen heroes who confronted the Land Dragon!

This is truly fascinating! Now I can write all about the story! What remarkable people! If only they could've survived their heroic encounter with Antharas! What dreams they must have had!

That brings me to my point... I still need to gather much more information. Will you help me a little bit more?

• "I'll do it."

Why have you returned without the story of Antharas? You must have gotten close! Try again.

Have you heard the song about King Raul and the 5 clan members who helped him to unify the kingdom? Everyone in Aden knows that one! I'm afraid many of the details have been lost to history. It was a beautiful song, sung by the bards in the time of King Raul. Now it's been forgotten.

I've heard that a Dwarven artisan in Heine has captured the song in an Echo Crystal. He's known as a Melody Maestro. Find him and bring me the crystal. It will be a great help.

Bring me the Echo Crystal that contains the song about King Raul and the 5 clan members. A Dwarven artisan in Heine known as the Melody Maestro has the crystal. Please do this for me.

Welcome back! I've been reading the records you gave me and I found something very interesting!

The stories all have something in common. They all met the Lady of the Lake and came across the Star of Destiny.

Is this the Echo Crystal that contains the Forgotten Song? Great job! We can only listen to it once. We can create a musical score if we take this to my friend, Barbado.

Will you continue to help me?

• "I'll do it."

This last story is about the heroes who confronted the devil Beleth. A poet recorded those terrible events in shocking detail. The record is kept by an Elf named Stedmiel in Hunters Village. Go there and ask him for it.

Like I told you last time, go meet Stedmiel in Hunters Village, and ask him about the records of the story about soldiers who fought against Devil Beleth.

Is this the book? Great job! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you!

Why didn't you say something? I never imagined I was making someone of your stature run errands for me! I've heard all about you! Please forgive me if I offended you!

Somebody wants to meet you. Will you meet him?

• "OK."

Virgil in the Rune Township is a very important supporter of our cause. He wants to meet you.

Ah, you haven't left yet. My sponsor Virgil is in the Rune Township now. Go meet him there.

Not just anybody can restore weapons of the old Empire, what makes you think you can help me? I can't even entrust Hilda or Feynn with the job! Well, Caradine does think highly of you.

• "I can help."

OK, I'll give you the job. We need about five units of Lunargent, and a bottle of Hellfire Oil. Meet Magic Trader Wesley in the Ivory Tower. He'll tell you where to find them, or maybe you could get them from other Adventurers.

That took a while, but you did it. I have something to tell you.

• Listen

You came back empty-handed? Hurry up and get five units of Lunargent and a bottle of Hellfire Oil!

Caradine wants to see you as soon as possible. You should go now.

Huh? A moment ago, I thought I had five Lunargents and Hellfire Oil. What happened?

Didn't I tell you? Caradine was urgently looking for you. Hurry up and go see her!

I can't believe somebody still knows about the song! Yes, I have a crystal like that. It's my most cherished possession, but I will gladly give it to someone who appreciates it's value!

There is one problem that must be solved first, otherwise taking the crystal won't help you.

• "What can I do to help?"

The sound crystal is incredibly delicate and has a high chance of breaking. It was created a very long time ago, so the crystal's surface is worn down and in need of repair. They say that if you use a polishing hardener on the surface and fix the tiny scratches, you could restore it, but this repair work cannot be done by any common tool. The tool must be very thin, long, delicate, and hard.

Only the claws of the Malruk Succubi in the Watcher's Tomb fit this description. This is a very delicate and difficult job, so you'll need 10 of the sharpest claws in the best condition. If you can get those claws...

These are perfect. I'll start working on it right away. It shouldn't take very long.

• Wait

Hmm. In order to fix this sound crystal, you need a talon from the Malruk Succubus. Without such an exquisite and delicate tool, this sound crystal cannot be repaired. Other tools are too clumsy and they will destroy the delicate item. Please go to the Watcher's Tomb and bring back some talons of the Malruk Succubus. We will need at least 10.

Now it will make the proper sound! Take it to Talien, your poet friend.

I don't need you to reimburse me. I'd rather see the crystal being used for a worthy purpose than sitting in this dusty warehouse. Now hurry!

Take the Echo Crystal and go back to your poet friend.

Welcome. Are you the one Kassandra was talking about? She's the girl with the nightmares. To prepare medicine for her I need a very rare herb. Will you help me save her?

• "I'll help."

Very well! The item that I require is an ultimate, rare herb that can be collected only once a year! But there is also an easy way to obtain it. Go to the Cemetary located to the east of the Town of Aden, and defeat the Taik Orc Supply Leaders there. If you search their bodies afterward, you should be able to obtain it! I need five in order to save the Dreaming Girl of Flames.

Go, and may the star of fate be upon you!

Now I can make a drug to control evil dream spirits and restore her vitality! It won't take long.

• Wait

Should the one who holds the Star of Destiny really be doing favors for someone else? Go to the Swamp of Screams and get five units of Crimson Moss by killing Splinter Stakatos and cutting them open.

Take this to the dreaming girl now. With Pa'agrio's blessing she will fulfill her important destiny, harsh as it may be. Keep her safe!

Take the medicine that I, Rahorakti, made you, to the dreaming girl of flame, Kassandra.

I've been waiting for you.

You've undertaken the trial as the ranking guild member, and helped Reorin save his wife's soul and restore his reputation. You don't have to live the life of a criminal anymore. Drinking Mimir's Elixir allows you to create your own destiny. It was no coincidence that Talien met you. It all matches my granddaughter's dream!

• "What dream?"

My granddaughter Kassandra suffers from a grave illness. She was always weak, but her nightmares are robbing her of what little strength she has left.

She was born with a special gift to foresee the future in her dreams. Ogmar thinks you might be able to help, so I asked you to come. He knows all the details, talk to him.

Kassandra's nightmare has some important details concerning you. Ogmar knows the story, talk to him.

I knew you could do it! She looks better already. Thank you.

I don't know how to tell you, but there's someone who worships the Lady of the Lake who wants to see you. Do you want to meet her?

• "Yes."

Look for an Elf named Caradine in the Town of Goddard. She's the daughter of the family that worships the Lady of the Lake. Go see her.

Go to the Town of Goddard and meet Caradine.

The star of fate must have brought you here. It is an honor indeed to meet someone who carries such a precious soul.

You are surely the one sent by Her to complete our remaining work. The Lady of the Lake... She is the one who continues to hope for the criminals of the world, even if that means going against the will of the gods. Help us with our work so that we can make her hopes a reality.

• "I will."

Our goals are to reinstate the Grand Olympiad from the forgotten age of the Giants, to raise obelisks dedicated to heroes in each village and to restore the forgotten knowledge and culture of the past. Head Blacksmith Noel has been a great help in crafting the ancient weapons that are prepared for the heroes of the new generation.

But lately, I think he has been having difficulty crafting the ancient weapons. He may need the help of a skilled person like you. Please go see Head Blacksmith Noel for your assignment.

Go and help Noel. He runs the Blacksmith Shop.

Good to see you! Thank you for helping us. We've been trying to find you since we received this letter from Virgil, addressed to you.

• "Let me see the letter."

Virgil's in trouble! Go to him immediately!

Hmm... Demon Beleth and the soldiers who fought against him... Ah! You mean that book of poetry! I'd almost forgotten about it!

An ancient poet who wrote sonnets about ancient heroes... So, you're a collector? That's very meaningful work. Here, take it with you.

• "Thanks!"

I hope Talien's work bears fruit. Hearing the stories of old heroes will help people know their own ideals. Tell him I have great expectations!

Did you deliver the Poetry Book to Talien yet? This is the only copy, so be extra careful. Tell Talien I expect the best.

One of my ancestors participated in the Antharas conquest. People call them the Seventeen Nemeses of the Land Dragon.

All I know is pieces of stories that I heard from my grandparents. There are many tales, and I don't know which is true. The poet may know, if you can get him to talk.

• "Who is he?"

You might have seen him. He is called Gilmore, the Watchman of the Earth Dragon. He is a Nemesis of the Earth Dragon, one of 17 people who bear that title. In order to eternally guard the seal placed by Emperor Shunaiman on Antharas in Dragon Valley, he willingly allowed himself to become undead. He must know the truth of what really happened. It is a place filled with danger, but you look like someone who can handle trouble.

Go to the entrance of the Dragon Valley and meet Gilmore, the watchman of the Land Dragon Antharas. Since he was there, he must know the story.

There is someone who's still looking for the old stories. Well, they happened such a long time ago, but I can never forget them. However, I am walking down the road of swords and watching the Land Dragon. I'm not a storyteller or poet like Talien.

• Wasn't there anyone who recorded the event at the time?

Of the seventeen of us, the Elf Witch Baraham was best at telling stories and keeping records. She kept journals even during our difficult travels. She can tell you where to find what Talien is looking for.

One problem remains, she has turned into an evil creature and can't tell the stories anymore. She's the only one who knows what really happened, and it's heart-breaking.

There is hope yet. She still has the records. Find her in a cave in the Bee Hive area and take them from her. That's all I know. Good luck!

Baraham is now an evil creature living in a cave in the Bee Hive area. Find her and you'll find the records. Good luck!

What is this...? Oh, it smells rancid! No way I'll take that!

• "But you must!"

Eww! It's bitter.

I think my headache is going away! My grandpa wants you to go see him.

My grandfather wants to see you right now! Hurry up!

Kassandra is my friend Virgil's child. I saw the Grand Seer about her once, he said her nightmares are depleting her strength. He can make the drug to cure her!

• "Where is he?"

You'll find Grand Seer Rahorakti in the Sage's Library in the basement of this building.

The Sage's Library is under this building. Find Grand Seer Rahorakti there.
