- UlgornUgh... I thought I was going to die dragging you out of that water.
- What? You had a dream?
- Are you sure you're okay? This isn't a dream, it's reality, wake up!
- Let's hurry and ask that broker who commissioned your company. Nemon has been waiting for you to wake up.
- Go talk to her.
- NemonSo you're awake. I heard you passed out. Are you okay?

- You seem fine now, at least. As for Brok.... If you don't mind, I'll ask him the questions.
- Who sent those mercenaries to Ishalgen? You'd better tell the truth.
- BrokIt... It was a Legion called the Blood Blades. W-With a man wearing a strange mask... Oh, he gave me the creeps...
- NemonThe Blades are in Altgard...?
- BrokYes! They promised to pay whatever we asked for Red Fafnite.
- So we started looking for mercenaries... but who would willingly go to Ishalgen?
- When we doubled the payment, the Hugo Mercenaries agreed to do it. That's right! But those Blades, they really are rotten...
- HadalaWhat happened after that? Did they pay the mercenaries? What about the Fafnite?
- BrokAnyway, it was a disaster.
- Not a single mercenary made it back from Ishalgen, and they didn't pay us a single coin. We didn't find anything, either.
- NemonDo you know anything about the others? Hugo said there was a traitor within.
- BrokI don't know. I only had contact with Hugo, but... Ah! I did meet him once with someone called Kraki...
- NemonNever heard that name before. You can leave now, Brok. I'll call you back if I need more information.
- BrokY-Yes, thank you.
- Nemon...It seems the Blood Blades are involved after all.
- Things are getting complicated. Daeva, the traitor responsible for the mercenaries being wiped out might be connected with them.
- UlgornNemon! Menrik brought news from the Fang Legion. They've captured a member of the Blades alive.
- NemonMenrik?
- HadalaGreat news! That Blood Blade might have some useful information.
- To sum it up, the Blood Blades commissioned the Hugo Mercenaries and then killed them all. It's quite likely they took the Fafnite.
- I think it would be wise to find out their intentions and where they are.
- UlgornHadala is right. I'm not keen on facing them, but we need to interrogate that captured Blade.
- Nemon...Fine. Head out when you're ready.
- Daeva, hold on for a second. I need to check something.
- There is an ancient relic called an Altgard Monolith in the village that you should know about.
- Meet up with Ollen near the Altgard Monolith. He'll understand once you tell him that I've sent you.
- OllenHuh? Do I know you? Need any help?
- That amulet...? Aha, Nemon sent you, did she? Yes, I was informed! Welcome, welcome.
- This relic you see here is the Altgard Monolith. What's a Monolith, you ask? Well, that's a very good question!
- The Monoliths were left behind by the Empyrean Lords, who sealed a portion of their power inside.
- When you resonate with a monolith like this, you will gain some of the strength and abilities of the Empyrean Lords.
- The Empyrean Lords created this as a countermeasure against the Balaur... Unfortunately, the Balaur's invasion led to their complete extinction.
- Now, only the monoliths are left, forgotten and unattended. To the unknowing, they're nothing more than nameless relics.
- Aha, you wish to try resonating? For that, you'll need an Empyrean Trace left behind by the Empyrean Lords.
- Hmm... I imagine you don't have any handy, do you? Since Nemon vouches for you, I'll give you one of mine.
- Take the Empyrean Trace beside me and try resonating.
- OllenDid you resonate successfully? Ha, no wonder Nemon likes you!
- There are other Monoliths near other bases around Altgard. Monoliths can only be resonated using Empyrean Traces.
- Resonating with Monoliths can grant you many things, so be sure to try it when you can. I strongly suggest trying out enhancement, too.
- Now then, I've said all I have to say, and given all I have to give. Nemon can have you back now. I wish you the best of luck!
- NemonSo, you've resonated with the Monolith? It would be wise to enhance the amulet whenever possible.
- No, you keep it. You'll need it for the journey ahead.
