Dialog

Opening Dialog

Elyraen Duskweaver tells you, "Keep your voice down, traveler. Not all Empyrean eyes are blind to the shadows."

Elyraen Duskweaver pauses, her eyes narrowing as she tilts her head slightly — listening. For a moment, all is still. Only the wind moves, threading through the trees like a whispered warning.

Elyraen Duskweaver tells you, "You're not the first to wander here, whispering about truth and rebellion. Most are bones now."

Elyraen Duskweaver tells you, "Trust isn’t free. But war doesn’t wait. If you’re here to bleed for the right side, you might yet earn your place."

Elyraen Duskweaver tells you, "Find Syrethis Val'Eshar. Between the beaches & mountains by Hebian-To and Tou-Tou, she walks with the weight of our past. If you wish to understand why we bleed, listen to her words."

Syrethis Val'Eshar

Syrethis Val’Eshar tells you, "You’ve been sent to me, and so I must take the risk — though trust, in these times, is more fragile than truth."

Syrethis Val’Eshar tells you, "I am Syrethis Val’Eshar, historian to the Covenant of Ironthorn — and last witness to what the Empyreans chose to forget."

Syrethis Val’Eshar tells you, "Five long forgotten gems is what the Resistance seeks. Each stone holds the crystallized essence of a fallen lineage — fragments of the Empyrean soul, preserved through pain, pride, and ruin."

Syrethis Val’Eshar tells you, "These are not mere relics — they are wounds carved into the world. Hold them too long, and they will open you."

Syrethis Val’Eshar tells you, "This Shroud can contain them, but only if you honor the ancient sequence. I do not know the order, but rumors swirl that the sequence is imbued into the gem itself."

Syrethis Val’Eshar gives you Sanctum Shroud.

Syrethis Val’Eshar tells you, "I possess a surviving fragment from the Library of the Corrupted High Empyrean. Treat it with care — there are few left who can read what it remembers."

Syrethis Val’Eshar tells you, "The text speaks in riddles and ruin, but it will guide you. Return to me when when the Shroud is full."

Syrethis Val’Eshar gives you On the Custodians of the Shards.

Syrethis Val’Eshar steps forward, her hood falling back just enough for you to see the shimmer of tears — whether from sorrow or triumph, you cannot say.

Syrethis Val'Eshar tells you, "You have done more than gather relics. You have carried the burden of Empyrean corruption, and what we have allowed fester."

A sudden hush falls over the coast. Mana stirs around you like wind before a storm.

Syrethis Val'Eshar tells you, "With these, we may continue the war effort. You are no longer a stranger. But beyond them, there is no promise of mercy. Travel well."

Syrethis Val'Eshar gives you Report to the Enclave.

Syrethis Val'Eshar tells you, "This letter must be delivered to Aurelia Silvershade, stationed north at the shore outpost. She is a Lieutenant Commander of the Covenant — one you can trust."

Syrethis Val'Eshar tells you, "We must now part ways. For the safety of all, I cannot be connected to you. I hope you will forgive me."

Aurelia Silvershade

Aurelia Silvershade scrunches her face as she reads the note, her expression unreadable — an impenetrable mask that reveals nothing of her thoughts.

Aurelia Silvershade tells you, "The return of the Sanctum Shroud is a crucial victory — your efforts are appreciated."

Aurelia Silvershade tells you, "You have earned the trust of the Ironthorn. Before I can induct you, take this to Elyraen Duskweaver — and return to me without delay."

The flesh is a lie. Come closer, and I will peel the truth from your bones.

Aurelia Silvershade gives you Commendation Letter.

Completion

Elyraen Duskweaver tells you, "What's this?"

Elyraen Duskweaver carefully breaks the seal on the letter, her gaze sharp and unwavering. A rare flicker of approval crosses her face.

Elyraen Duskweaver tells you, "I don’t know all you’ve done, but it must be important if this has come to me. Thank you."

Elyraen Duskweaver tells you, "Do not linger on my account. My duty is here. Go — lend your strength to the Covenant where it’s needed most. Return to the outpost."
