Nemon: You're curious about the item, aren't you, ‹your name›?
Nemon: This is the Artifact of Eternity. It can hold the Empyrean Lord's Cores.
Nemon: Only the High Priests know where to find the Cores of the Empyrean Lords... But Zikel's High Priest fell victim to Fafnir...
Nemon: Now, all that remain are his empty shell of a body and the Fafnite.
Nemon: But if we can unite the two, we can awaken him. That's why I've been trying so hard to find that Fafnite.
Nemon: The High Priest's body set the Moslan Forest ablaze. Nornir, the Fang Legion, and I worked together to extinguish it.
Nemon: Eventually, we managed to secure the body and hand it to the Nornir and their leader Urd for safe keeping.
Nemon: We'll need to visit the Nornir first to check the condition of the High Priest's body, and then get back to tracking down the Fafnite's whereabouts.
Nemon: The Nornir might have new information for us, too. There's a Nornir village in the Moslan Forest. Let's go there.
Step 2 · 2 lines
Nemon: Nornir corpses... Multiple.
Nemon: What happened here? Let's go to Odar's Shade and meet with the Nornir there.

Nana: I heard bad people came here. People called the Blades.
Nemon: They've already turned this place upside down.
Nana: They're still close... Nana is scared...
Nemon: We need to find survivors. Let's search the area.
Nemon: Be careful searching with the Blades nearby. Kill them if necessary. Actually, just kill them regardless.
Step 5 · 7 lines
Mia: Help!
Mia: Is... is Urd safe?
Mia: The Blood Blades... they killed everyone...
Mia: The Elim were all killed or... fled into the Collapsed Chasm below.
Mia: They might have... seen Urd.
Mia: Please... find her. And... avenge us...
Mia: ...
Step 6 · 4 lines
Nemon: You found a surviving Nornir?
Nemon: Where? What? They died...?
Nemon: The surviving Elim fled...? The Collapsed Chasm...
Nemon: All right... Let's deal with the Blood Blades first, then we'll meet at the Collapsed Chasm.

Nemon: This place is a mess... but at least some Elim survived. We need to ask them about the Nornir's whereabouts.
Ninir: I can hear the forest crying in pain... It hurts...
Nemon: Do you know where we can find the Nornir?
Ninir: ... You are... unfamiliar Daeva... Are you... like the Blood Blades?
Nemon: No, we're trying to avoid the Blades entirely.
Ninir: They... They destroyed our shelter... Even the Young Elim...
Nemon: We'll help you, but you must help us find the Nornir after.
Ninir: I do not trust Daeva. And outsiders even less...
When it is done
"They... They destroyed our shelter..." After discovering that the Blades were behind the Fafnite incident, it became clear that the High Priest's body may also be in danger. To learn more, you set out in search of the Nornir. Your first destination was Odar's Shade, where you hoped to find Urd, leader of the Nornir and caretaker of the High Priest's body. When you arrived, Odar's Shade had been devastated. The Nornir lay dead, and despite searching the area, you found no survivors. With only the Young Elim remaining, Nemon knew she had to find the surviving Nornir to learn Urd's whereabouts and confirm the safety of the High Priest's body. While searching for survivors, Nemon realized that some of the surviving Elim had fled to the Collapsed Chasm. Without delay, she set out for the chasm.
