Dymones: ‹your name›, before you leave for Eltnen, it might benefit you to experience the Abyss.
Dymones: What's the Abyss, you ask?
Dymones: The Abyss is a subspace created by AION's fall. A mysterious place filled with a myriad of unknown dangers.
Dymones: But the light of hope still shines in even the darkest of places. The longer you endure in the Abyss, the greater your accomplishments will be.
Dymones: Of course, it's dangerous to just charge in. Odyle is thin, and time and space themselves are distorted.
Dymones: There's a place here in Verteron that's not so different. If you're interested, try visiting there first.
Dymones: Draupnir, they call it. Paitos can point the way.
Dymones: Well, then. Regardless of what path you walk from here on, I wish only the best for you. I mean it.
Dymones: I hope we'll have the chance to meet again someday.

Paitos: Hello again! Did you find what you were looking for?
Paitos: You really obtained the Core...? Congratulations!
Paitos: And now you're off to Draupnir? You never slow down, do you, ‹your name›?
Paitos: Draupnir... It was once a part of Asmodae, conquered by the Balaur.
Paitos: But when the Abyss was created, it got sucked inside, and a path to it opened in Verteron.
Paitos: We've had a few legionnaires investigate. They weren't in there for long, but they reported lots of similarities with the Abyss.
Paitos: Which can only mean it's similarly dangerous. But if you insist on checking it out, I can show you the way.
Paitos: Follow me.

Edna: You want to enter the Abyss? It's our policy not to let first timers in alone, but we haven't got anyone free to accompany you.
Edna: Then again, if anyone will be fine alone, it's you. Just be sure to talk with Koro when you get there. He's a Shugo of the Black Cloud Merchants.
Edna: The guild is active in the neutral zone of the Abyss. I've traded with them often myself. Just tell him I sent you.
Edna: Good luck in there! I look forward to seeing what you're truly capable of!
Step 3 · 5 lines
Paitos: You made it out in one piece! How was it?
Paitos: Our legionnaires claimed to have seen mutated Balaur inside. Was it true?
Paitos: Goodness! Not only had Bakarma transcended his Balaur form, but you fought and defeated him? Incredible!
Paitos: It's safe to say you're more than ready to take on the Abyss. It just so happens an Abyss Portal has opened in the Garden of the Illusion God.
Paitos: Our legionnaire, Edna, is keeping an eye on it. If you talk with her, I'm sure she'll let you through.
Step 4 · 5 lines
Kalyle: Greetings. Paitos told me to expect you.
Kalyle: I'm Kalyle, an explorer of the Abyss! I've been working together with the Notos Legion.
Kalyle: If you intend to take on the Abyss, you should visit Draupnir first.
Kalyle: In the enigma that is the Abyss, it's one place we have at least a tenuous grasp of. You'll find the entrance on the Archipelago of Siel's Wings.
Kalyle: You might encounter Balaur and Asmodians on the way there, though, so be careful.

Koro: An Elyos? What do you want? Hmm? Edna sent you?
Koro: Ah, yes, Edna! I like her! She helps us trade with Verteron, nyerk.
Koro: She hoped I'd give you the lowdown on the Abyss, nyerk?
Koro: *chuckle* Well, I'd hate to disappoint a valued customer. Listen up!
Koro: This place is the very definition of chaos, nyerk! You'll find life of all stripes here, usually fighting one another!
Koro: Elyos, Balaur, Asmodians... and more! You need to stay on your toes, nyerk.
Koro: If I've scared you off, feel free to use the Teleport Tower in front of the base.
Koro: That's all the advise I can give. What you do next is up to you, nyerk. Anything's possible in this place!
When it is done
"The longer you endure in the Abyss, the greater your accomplishments will be." To reach Eltnen, you need to become stronger. Dymones told you about Draupnir and the Abyss, dangerous places that also hold untapped potential and hope. After experiencing Draupnir, you were ready to venture into the wider Abyss. The Black Cloud Merchants have established a presence in the Abyss, and were happy to tell you everything you need to know due to your connection with the Notos Legion.
