Guard Silvar: Identify yourself!

Guard Silvar: Hmm... And you're a Daeva? Not a Sura?

Guard Silvar: What? You escaped from Ishtar Fortress? How did you know where to find us?

Guard Silvar: Hithanya... I see.

Guard Silvar: This is the Dawn Legion Forward Base.

Guard Silvar: We can't just let any outsider in since we're in the middle of an operation. But if Hithanya sent you here...

Guard Silvar: Go ask Nania for permission to stay. If she doesn't allow it, we'll kick you out.

Guard Silvar: You'll find Nania in front of her quarters—the big tent.

Guard Silvar: There's a survivor!

Step 1 · 4 lines

Nania: You escaped from Ishtar Castle? Hithanya told me everything... I'm impressed.

Nania: Unfortunately, we don't really have the capacity to help you right now. We're in the middle of an operation.

Nania: Not to mention, there's no guarantee you're not a Sura. We'll have to kill you if you are.

Nania: Get yourself checked over by Eaetos. We'll let you stay if there's no issue.

Step 2 · 5 lines

Eaetos: Nania sent you?

Eaetos: You want to stay here? Well, then we need to confirm whether you're Daeva or Sura.

Eaetos: It's a simple procedure. If you are a Daeva capable of using Odyle, the Kibelisk will react and bind with you.

Eaetos: On the other hand, if you've had your bio-energy extracted by the Balaur and become a Sura, the soldiers will deal with you.

Eaetos: Bind with the Kibelisk behind me.

Eaetos: You're capable of using Odyle. Good. We won't need to worry about you turning into a Sura.

Eaetos: Forgive our wariness. You're the first to escape Ishtar Castle.

Eaetos: The Balaur have recently shifted their priorities towards hunting Daeva. They extract our bio-energy and convert it into an alternate form of energy called Surana.

Eaetos: All captured Daeva are doomed to become Sura once their energy is fully depleted.

Eaetos: As it stands, Poeta is little more than an Island of Death. That old isle of poetry and song is long gone...

Eaetos: Sorry, I got carried away there. Anyway, drink this Odyle potion if you feel sick.

Eaetos: Odyle is a Daeva's source of strength. It will help you recover quickly.

When it is done

"You escaped from Ishtar Castle?" After escaping from Ishtar Castle with Hithanya's help, you traversed the Crimson Canyon and came across a Dawn Legion base. You were welcomed by the Dawn Legion, though their acceptance came with caution. Daeva who have undergone Balaur experimentation risk mutating into Sura, and the Legion could not ignore that danger. Fortunately, you were able to prove that you remained a Daeva. With their doubts put to rest, you were allowed to stay in this safe haven for the time being. Once you had proven yourself, you were informed of the current situation. Poeta was once known as an island of poetry and song, renowned for its peaceful beauty. But this culture has since been lost, supplanted by various traces of the Balaur following their invasion.
