Possessor of a Precious Soul - 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."

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. Good help is so hard to find these days.

(This quest may only be undertaken by a sub-classed character of level 50 and above.)

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 Giran Castle Town. 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 Giran Castle Town and ask her to tell you the story of the seventeen heroes.

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

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."

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 Rune Castle Town is a very important supporter of our cause. He wants to meet you.

Ah, you haven't left yet. My sponsor Virgil is in Rune Castle Town 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.

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

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

Listen

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

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

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

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 Echo Crystal is a fragile object and is easily broken. This one is worn out after so many years, and needs to be restored. It's delicate work requiring specialized tools. I'll need the long and sturdy claws of Malruk succubi from the Dragon Valley.

Bring me ten sharp claws. Make sure they are in excellent condition!

I need the claws of Malruk Succubi to mend this Echo Crystal. I can't repair it without the proper tools. Go to the Dragon Valley to get the claws for me. I need at least 10 of them.

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

Wait

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."

Excellent! I need a very rare herb called Crimson Moss that can only be gathered once a year. I can tell you an easy way to get it, however. Go to the Swamp of Screams east of here and kill the Splinter Stakatos. Cut them open and you'll find the herb! I must have five units of it. May the Star of Destiny guide your path!

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.

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

Wait

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 Goddard Castle Town. She's the daughter of the family that worships the Lady of the Lake. Go see her.

Go to Goddard Castle Town and meet Caradine.

Divine grace has brought you here to help us finish our work! The Lady of the Lake would never forsake us.

I'm honored to meet you!

"I'll help you."

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?"

I don't know if you met Gilmore, the Watchman of the Land Dragon Antharas. He's one of the Seventeen Nemeses. He sacrificed himself and became undead to monitor Antharas' movements in the Dragon Valley and to protect the seal made by the Founding Emperor Shunaiman. He would know what happened, he was there. It's dangerous, so watch yourself!

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.
