- I hope you can inspire your people as I've inspired you.
- I hope this ritual works...and doesn't kill us. You're confident this won't kill us, right?
- As sure as I can be.
- We should stick close to the ghost.
- OK. Will do.
- This is surreal! These entities are echoes, too, but they're no less deadly than a creature made of flesh and bone. Be careful. Do not underestimate them. According to the tome... Oh my!
- What? What is it?
- Okay, prepare yourself. I can't find anything to indicate what they mean by "purify," but my necromancy instincts are telling me you'll have to put them to rest.
- An impressive step forward, Commander. I know you'll have the same success against the dragon. Let us know if the Priory can help.
- So, destroy them. Got it.
- How did I know that purifying spirits would involve them trying to kill us? Just once, I'd love to find an ancient tome that skipped the euphemisms and said exactly what it meant.
- You and me both, Jory.
- Proceed with caution, please. This is supposed to be the most dangerous trial.
- Just stay out of the line of fire. I can't worry about protecting you, too.
- The war continues, but is far from over. We are ready.
- If you find all three shards from Ossa's vision crystal, it says here he'll put them back together. Hm, these shards are different from the vision-crystal shards so prevalent today.
- Laranthir told us you were ready, but some of us doubted it. No longer. When you attack Zhaitan, we'll be there to support you every step of the way.
- These are clearly powerful artifacts and not just crafting materials.
- What an exhilarating look into the past. My ancestors once spoke of Ascension as well, but they called it "Weh no Su," which means "to be closer to the stars."
- I agree. It was intriguing to come face-to-face with one of our ancestors.
- That was educational. I feel like I know human history better now.
- My back is rejoicing to have that book out of my hands. Who knew research could be so exhausting?
- Good-bye.
- Keep up the good work, Commander. The Pact needs you, and the Vigil is standing by to make sure you succeed.
- Their mythology begins in 1769 B.E. This is ancient history, so little of it is confirmed.
- That was about a thousand years before we humans were brought here.
- When you say gods, you mean the beings humans worship?
- Congratulations, Commander. Orr is being cleansed, the dragon is in our sites. Arda would be proud.
- And when Zhaitan falls, she'll be avenged.
- Yes, and this cave is the first indication we've had that the Forgotten traveled that far west. They usually stuck close to the Crystal Desert.
- Well, then... Let's hope this gets us closer to the egg.
- The tome says the ritual to acquire divine fire involves "assisting the Ghostly Hero, Turai Ossa, through the trials of Ascension." There are three of those. This is just the beginning.
- All right. In for a copper, in for a gold.
- It worked! That's Turai Ossa, I'm guessing. An echo of him, according to the tome. The spell woven by the wax seal must have worked.
- Read ahead. Does it say what I'm supposed to do next?
- Let's see... Yes. It says you should "accompany the Ghostly Hero." Its words, not mine. One sec... It doesn't look like you fight it. The tome implies that you must work with the ghost...and protect it.
- Stay close. I may need more guidance.
- I salute you, Commander. Tales of this victory will be told inside the walls my people have built to sequester themselves.
- Thank you, Izu.
- Boss, the tome says that in the next trial you'll be purifying the tainted souls of Ossa's army. Are you ready for this?
- I've never experienced anything like this before. In the past few weeks, I've seen so much, learned so much. Perhaps Beigarth is right when he says, "You need to get out more."
- If you're ready for that, I know the rest of us are.
- I am. We have to see this through.
- Well done, Commander. Now how about using some of my weapons to slay Zhaitan? Come on, share the glory. You can't hog all the legend for yourself!
- Don't worry, Beigarth. You're hard to overlook.
- Staying ahead of things... Looks like the next trial is the last one. You have to find three special vision-crystal shards and give them to Ossa.
- Now that you've begun to remove the corruption from Orr, the only thing between me and a research expedition to the Source is Zhaitan itself. Good job, Commander, and good luck.
- Thank you, scholar.
- Where do I find these shards?
- I'm pleased to have contributed to the Pact's efforts...and to have survived this far. After you kill Zhaitan, do me a favor and save me a piece to study.
