Script[]

S-progress Raciel

Greetings, [player name]. Your stories are well known, even among the federation parliament.

I heard that you even stopped Samael. Who would have thought that man would become a traitor... he has done so much for the federation.

Anyways, I thought the messenger was looking for me, but it was you, [player name]. I'll see you later.

(Okay.)


S-progress Brurun

Are you [player name]? If you're not, we have nothing to talk about.

Well, if you're sure you are... Jelena sent word for you. Elleon disappeared while tracking down a lead on the Scions of Lok. Inform Baruch and get moving.

Elleon needs you!

(Okay.)


S-progress Baruch

Elleon...missing? I pray he's safe.

Elsine raced toward the Dark Cathedral as soon as she heard. That's not the sort of place an archaeologist should go alone.

Speak with Centurion Orlaith at Crusader Camp. If she's there, he'll know where she's going.

(Okay.)


S-progress Orlaith

Elsine said she was going to the Cathedral Redoubt and should be there now. As for Elleon, we haven't heard from him since he left.

He was pursuing a priestess. Ackbar? Saskia? What was her name?

(Okay.)


S-progress Elsine

Ah, [player name]. You must have heard the news, too. Elleon and his team went missing inside the cathedral.

I know there's not much I can do here, but I can't just sit and wait.

(So let's do something!)

I suppose you're right. It's probably a better idea to get your help. Please go save them.

It's Prefect Rendalf who first reported Elleon missing. He's waiting at Vindicator Redoubt. Find him, and he'll tell you the details.

Go to Deirin. He'll make sure to get you there safe.

(Okay.)


S-progress Rendalf

You're the famous [player name]? The one who helped capture the traitor Samael, may he rot forever? What an honor! How can I be of service?

Elleon? He took his team through this teleportal we found on the lowest level of this place...

(What happened?)

It just stopped working. No one's been able to get through it. Runha and Karus is working on it, but they haven't succeeded yet.

No doubt they could use your help.

(Okay.)


S-progress Karus

You must be [player name]!

I'd go through that teleportal right now, but we've got a problem.

After Elleon and his team went through, one of the Scions, Libtrixas, sealed the teleportal.

We need to take down Libtrixas to get the teleportal working again.

(Leave it to me.)

We'll need "mementos of sacrifice" — borne by Nurkrasid, Valursus, and Masakrad.

After collecting all three, activate the Dimensional Hold at Chapterhouse.

(Okay.)


S-end Runha

The portal is open! Well done! We must hurry, however. Who knows what trouble the others are in!

(I understand.)

Summary Upon Completion[]

Jelena sent word that Elleon and the rest of his contingent were missing in the Dark Cathedral and asked for your help.

At the Dark Cathedral, you met with Runha, a ranger like Jelena, and learned that Elleon and his soldiers went through a teleportal in pursuit of a Scion priestess, but were cut off. You were able to help Runha establish a new connection to Cultists' Refuge.
