Lore & Dialog

"The strange matter feels cool to the touch and surprsingly not the least bit wet.As your fingers connect with the substance, murmors echo in your head."

"Almost as if it were your own voice, you find yourself thinking that Geraine has returned and is behind the troubles in Dereth.

Geraine must be stopped.

Geraine kidnapped Hoshino Kei and caused the destablization of portals."

---

You begin to tell Asheron of the Black Pool and the Archons of the Way.

Asheron tells you, "A pool so black it reflects no light and the Archons of the Way seek to destroy it? Most intersting."

You explain to Asheron the thoughts that filled your head when you touched the dark substance.

Asheron mutters to himself for a moment

Asheron tells you, "Geraine.... I should have known he would be the one to block my portal magic. He must be up to something quite despicable if he fears the return of the Empyreans."

Asheron tells you, "This Black Pool troubles me. To have knowledge of events that even I have not seen and to give them so willingly to those who pass by."

Asheron tells you, "I think I may know what this pool is connected to but I will need a sample to be sure. Bring me a sample as soon as you can, for if I am correct there is no time to waste."

Asheron gives you Vial.

---

You take a sample of the substance which adheres to itself but nothing else.

You hand over 1 of your Vials.

---

Asheron tells you, "Ahh the sample I desired, I hope my thoughts on what this substance might mean are wrong."

Asheron passes his hand over the vial causing it to glow.

You hand over 1 of your Filled Vials.

You've earned 80,000,000 experience.

Asheron tells you, "It is as I feared. I must find a way to stop the Archons from destroying this pool. See if you can persuade them to halt their plans before they bring about a destruction they never imagined."

---

Hahnain tells you, "I care not what Asheron has to say on this matter, Geraine is the only true leader in this world. We shall not let his name be tarnished by an evil such as this."

Hahnain tells you, "I always knew your kind was pathetic and weak. Leave us, for we have much work to do in finding the right magics to rid the world of this filth."

---

Saelar tells you, "Do not disturb us while we research the proper magics we need."

Renselm tells you, "We are too busy to try to explain the truth to such pitiful beings."

---

Do not let Geraine succeed with his plans.

---

Asheron tells you, "I have no time to chat. If I do not find a way to stop those Archons from attempting their destruction of the Black Pool, terrible things will happen."
