Finishing the quest
- YouPanuk Aen Sigos. Desi Minax Hirnor Komen.
Ellion...Wait. Could you repeat what you just said?
- YouIt was in a language I didn't recognize.
EllionWhere did you hear those words?
- YouIn a cave atop the cliffs east of here. There was an Astral Pillar embedded upside down in the ceiling.
Ellion... The eastern cliffs... Astral Pillar... You don't mean that cave, do you?
- YouYou know the place?
EllionThere are no reliable records, but scholars have speculated about that place for quite some time. It's said to have been a hidden sanctuary where the Starwanderer Monastery performed oracle rites. They studied the movements of the stars to divine events of importance across Auroria. Still... That's rather strange.
- YouWhat's strange about it?
EllionAn oracle wouldn't simply appear on its own. The records suggest the rite required considerable magical power and a blood sacrifice. ... Did you see anything of the sort inside the cave?
- YouI'd say so... But what do those words mean?
Ellion"The Serpent Demon will cross into this world from another dimension."
- You...
EllionThen this may be more than an ordinary prophecy. If this really is an oracle of the Starwanderer Monastery... it could have implications for the entire continent. I'll report this to the Antiquary Society at once. It warrants further investigation.
