Ulgorn: Ugh... I thought I was going to die dragging you out of that water.

Ulgorn: What? You had a dream?

Ulgorn: Are you sure you're okay? This isn't a dream, it's reality, wake up!

Ulgorn: Let's hurry and ask that broker who commissioned your company. Nemon has been waiting for you to wake up.

Ulgorn: Go talk to her.

Step 1 · 27 lines

Nemon: So you're awake. I heard you passed out. Are you okay?

Nemon: You seem fine now, at least. As for Brok.... If you don't mind, I'll ask him the questions.

Nemon: Who sent those mercenaries to Ishalgen? You'd better tell the truth.

Brok: It... It was a Legion called the Blood Blades. W-With a man wearing a strange mask... Oh, he gave me the creeps...

Nemon: The Blades are in Altgard...?

Brok: Yes! They promised to pay whatever we asked for Red Fafnite.

Brok: So we started looking for mercenaries... but who would willingly go to Ishalgen?

Brok: When we doubled the payment, the Hugo Mercenaries agreed to do it. That's right! But those Blades, they really are rotten...

Hadala: What happened after that? Did they pay the mercenaries? What about the Fafnite?

Brok: Anyway, it was a disaster.

Brok: Not a single mercenary made it back from Ishalgen, and they didn't pay us a single coin. We didn't find anything, either.

Nemon: Do you know anything about the others? Hugo said there was a traitor within.

Brok: I don't know. I only had contact with Hugo, but... Ah! I did meet him once with someone called Kraki...

Nemon: Never heard that name before. You can leave now, Brok. I'll call you back if I need more information.

Brok: Y-Yes, thank you.

Nemon: ...It seems the Blood Blades are involved after all.

Nemon: Things are getting complicated. ‹your name›, the traitor responsible for the mercenaries being wiped out might be connected with them.

Ulgorn: Nemon! Menrik brought news from the Fang Legion. They've captured a member of the Blades alive.

Nemon: Menrik?

Hadala: Great news! That Blood Blade might have some useful information.

Hadala: To sum it up, the Blood Blades commissioned the Hugo Mercenaries and then killed them all. It's quite likely they took the Fafnite.

Hadala: I think it would be wise to find out their intentions and where they are.

Ulgorn: Hadala 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.

Nemon: ‹your name›, hold on for a second. I need to check something.

Nemon: There is an ancient relic called an Altgard Monolith in the village that you should know about.

Nemon: Meet up with Ollen near the Altgard Monolith. He'll understand once you tell him that I've sent you.

Step 2 · 10 lines

Ollen: Huh? Do I know you? Need any help?

Ollen: That amulet...? Aha, Nemon sent you, did she? Yes, I was informed! Welcome, welcome.

Ollen: This relic you see here is the Altgard Monolith. What's a Monolith, you ask? Well, that's a very good question!

Ollen: The Monoliths were left behind by the Empyrean Lords, who sealed a portion of their power inside.

Ollen: When you resonate with a monolith like this, you will gain some of the strength and abilities of the Empyrean Lords.

Ollen: The Empyrean Lords created this as a countermeasure against the Balaur... Unfortunately, the Balaur's invasion led to their complete extinction.

Ollen: Now, only the monoliths are left, forgotten and unattended. To the unknowing, they're nothing more than nameless relics.

Ollen: Aha, you wish to try resonating? For that, you'll need an Empyrean Trace left behind by the Empyrean Lords.

Ollen: Hmm... I imagine you don't have any handy, do you? Since Nemon vouches for you, I'll give you one of mine.

Ollen: Take the Empyrean Trace beside me and try resonating.

Step 6 · 4 lines

Ollen: Did you resonate successfully? Ha, no wonder Nemon likes you!

Ollen: There are other Monoliths near other bases around Altgard. Monoliths can only be resonated using Empyrean Traces.

Ollen: Resonating with Monoliths can grant you many things, so be sure to try it when you can. I strongly suggest trying out enhancement, too.

Ollen: 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!

Turning in · 2 lines

Nemon: So, you've resonated with the Monolith? It would be wise to enhance the amulet whenever possible.

Nemon: No, you keep it. You'll need it for the journey ahead.

When it is done

"W-With a man wearing a strange mask... Oh, he gave me the creeps..." Brok admitted that his client was the Blood Blades. After learning that the Blades were behind the Fafnite raid, Nemon became lost in thought. Just then, news comes in that the Fang Legion have taken a Blade captive. Before she left, Nemon suggested checking out the Altgard Monolith in Safe Haven. Ollen told you about the Monolith. Following the collapse of AION, Empyrean Traces can now be found throughout Atreia, and much can be gained by resonating them with the Monolith. You resonated with the Monolith using an Empyrean Trace gifted to you from Ollen.
