Seed of Evil

Actually, I have been plagued by an unexplainable fear lately. I think it is the reoccurring nightmare that I have been having recently. I have had superior intuition since I was young, and have often received divine signs in my dreams. I think that my nightmares are a warning from the gods. I do not know its exact identity yet, but I feel that an evil power is spreading its hands over the island.

I only hope that this uneasy fear is a figment of my imagination ... I am not sure yet ... But perhaps even you may have to fight this evil.

(This quest may only be undertaken by a character of level 21 and above.)

I have had great intuition since my youth and have received warnings about disasters or dangers in my sleep. Eventually that has caused me to walk the path of faith. After becoming a priest, I have received the message of the gods more clearly in my dreams. Lately those occurrences have been rare, but all of a sudden, I have begun to consecutively dream very unsettling nightmares. The dream was unclear at first, but finally became clear last night.

I finally realized that the dream was a warning against the foreboding evil that approaches our Talking Island. Oh, it is frightening indeed. A great evil power is targeting Talking Island. But as of now, I do not know the identity of that great evil ... all I know is that a devil presumed to be a worshipper of this evil is plotting something in the basements of the Elven Ruins.

That is why all I know at the moment is that the evil worshipper must be found and eliminated. We must get rid of the seed of evil or it may draw a great evil into our island. I would like you to perform that task.

Say you will accept the job

Brave warrior, to seek out and eradicate the seed of evil, you must travel to the abandoned Elven Ruins. For directions to the abandoned Elven Ruins, ask Guard Kenyos who stands at the northern entrance of the village.

In my dreams the seed of evil that will lead a great evil into the world is lying dormant in the deepest depths of the cellars, gathering power. The seed of evil took the form of a devil with large, grotesque red wings, reminiscent of a bat. They came in a group, but one of them radiated an evil force greater than the rest. I am sure that he is the leader of this group.

I pray to Einhasad that our small power of good may be sufficient to defeat the darkness.

You have not yet been able to eradicate that seed of evil, I see. Bear this in mind. It is in the deepest depths of the Elven Ruins, and takes the form of a great red devil with the wings of a bat. I bid you take caution.

Thank you. You have completed a dangerous task.

What ...? He called upon the name of Beleth at his death ...? Beleth was an evil Sorcerer, also called a devil. Long ago, his powers were sealed by the Mystics of the Ivory Tower. However, they say that no one knows whether he is still dead or alive. That a devil worshipping Beleth should appear on this island ... This is no common thing at all ... I have the feeling that this incident is the beginning of a greater plague that will come upon us in the future ...

This Clay Tablet? Have you obtained it from that devil? Clay tablets were used by Mystics in the Elmoreden Age. I don't know how this is related to Beleth ... I guess I will have to ask Gallint of Einhovant's School of Wizardry, who knows how to read the ancient language, to translate this for me ...

Oh. I have been so occupied with my thoughts, I nearly forgot. Please take this. This is a small gift for having performed such a difficult task. Please do not decline, just accept my gift.
