{{Quotation|Leather-bound Memo|
From the peaks of Mount Yuhtunga to the ocean floors of the Bastore Sea, I daresay there are none more deserving of renown than she, filling our hearts with admiration and fear in equal measure.

That selfsame admiration is why I volunteered to go and interview her on behalf of “''Magic Paradise Weekly''”, but fear halted my steps. Indeed, it was all I could do to observe her from a distance.

I thought I remained an unseen witness to her wonders and horrors, but who else could have placed that curse on me? Who else could have lifted it?}}

====Leather-bound Memo 3====
{{Quotation|Leather-bound Memo|
As we endeavor to guard the Empire from threats posed by beastmen, it is the Serpent Generals, appointed by Empress Nashmeira, who lead the charge in our never-ending struggle.

Each is granted a name corresponding to the symbols of the Empire, the five serpents each associated with an element: fire, water, earth, wind, and the heavens.

Rughadjeen, the Skyserpent General, holds command over the other four─Gadalar, the fervent serpent of flame; Zazarg, the ardent serpent of stone; Najelith, the gallant serpent of gales; and Mihli Aliapoh, the graceful serpent of water.
They call upon all who possess the courage and resolve to face the beastmen hordes, to take up arms as sword and shield in defense of the capital.}}

====Leather-bound Memo 4====
{{Quotation|Leather-bound Memo|
How many days has it been since last I found an imbued cell in these damnable ruins? Even one might be enough to stop our monk from bullying me...

Sigh... The things I do for alexandrite.}}

{{Quotation|Leather-bound Memo|
It all began with a stone, or so the legend says. 
In ages past, a sentient jewel, enormous and beautiful, banished the darkness. 
Its many-colored light filled the world with life and brought forth mighty gods.

Bathed in that light, the world entered an age of bliss until, after a time, the gods fell into slumber. That world was called Vana'diel.}}

==Steps==
* Clear {{questlink|raid|AAC Cruiserweight M4}}.
* Speak with [[Yaana]].
* Speak with Yaana at [[Tritails Training]].
* Speak with Yaana in front of Tritails Training.

==Journal==
* Yaana would formally introduce the cruiserweight champion.
* Yaana explains that the Howling Blade was formerly a hunter before becoming a fighter. Employing the soul of the legendary wolf Fenrir in the ring, he complements his unparalleled swordsmanship with extraordinary speed. To save the lone wolf's life, you must best him in battle─and that shall be no trifling task.
** ※AAC Cruiserweight M4 can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
* After evading a veritable squall of swift slashes and magicks both tempestuous and seismic, you have cornered the wolf and seized victory. Yaana will doubtlessly be overjoyed by your accomplishment.
** ※In the event that you leave the area, you may return by speaking with the Arcadion attendant in front of the Arcadion.
* A dejected Howling Blade joins you and Yaana in the greenroom, and asks how he is to go on without his career as a fighter. Frustrated, Yaana explains to him how blind he has been, ignoring the suffering of his dearest friend, and that of his beloved. Her words strike a chord in his heart, helping him to finally accept the truth he refused to acknowledge─that the president must be stopped. Retiring his ring name, Retsarra now intends to join you at Tritails Training to chart your next course of action.
* Upon returning to the gym, you discover that Neyuni and Eutrope are nowhere to be seen. On cue, the voice of the president emanates from the monitor, revealing why: due to your acts of spreading information regarding psychonekrosis and convincing other fighters to retire, the megalomaniac executive has seen fit to abduct Yaana's sisters. Should you veer from his so-called script again, the pair may come to harm, and thus your only path forward is clear: you must become grand champion of the Ascension Arcadia Championship. Before he ends the transmission, the president mentions the stimulant Neyuni discovered in her research, officially known as the Drop of Life. Ascend to the top, and he promises to divulge its location.
* A crestfallen Yaana broods in silence outside Tritails Training. Finally, she speaks, reiterating her faith in you, with hope that you will return to compete in the heavyweight matches and see to whatever preparations necessary before they begin. For not only her sisters' sakes, but that of countless others, the unstoppable upstart must press on, and keep fighting the good fight.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
Yaana: The Howling Blade is a worthy champion, but again and again, you've cut through the competition. I'm confident you'll do the same this time!

===Cutscene===
Yaana: The lone wolf of the Arcadion, the Howling Blade!
Yaana: Before becoming a fighter, he was a hunter known for his unparalleled skill with the blade. Word ultimately reached the president, who recruited him to Ascension Arcadia.
Yaana: Owing to his good clean looks, he was immediately embraced as a babyface fighter, and he dazzles the crowds with his fantastical ring and blade of pulsating light.
Yaana: With the soul of Fenrir, a legendary wolf, he's able to unleash slashes that are as devastating as they are fast. You'll need to stay on your toes at all times.
Yaana: Now, march into the wolf's den, Forename, and show him that you're no mere prey!

===Optional Dialogue===
Yaana: If Eutrope could be here to watch, I'm sure she'd be cheering you on. Do it for her as well.

===Post-duty cutscene===
Yaana: You did it! You really did it! You're amazing, you know that?

Howling Blade: You were simply too strong for me...
Howling Blade: I gave my word, and I intend to keep it. I will retire from fighting.
Howling Blade: With this, I've escaped imminent death. But I've also lost my purpose in life.
Howling Blade: Tell me, what am I to do with myself now? I truly do not know...

What will you say?
> There are battles you can still fight. Help us oppose the president.
> Let's avenge the Brute Bomber together!

< There are battles you can still fight. Help us oppose the president. >
Howling Blade: The president has sacrificed the lives of countless fighters for the sake of entertainment, and as good as killed my friend. He should be stopped, I know.

< Let's avenge the Brute Bomber together! >
Howling Blade: The president has sacrificed the lives of countless fighters for the sake of entertainment, and as good as killed my friend. I ought to despise him, I know.

Howling Blade: But as I said before, we owe everything to him. That's why we continued to fight willingly even if it meant dying from our illness.

Yaana: You fool! You can't tell me that the Brute Bomber went willingly to his death, and there are people who care for you even if you don't seem to care for yourself! All this time, Eutrope's been fighting alone to try and save you!

Howling Blade: What...?
Howling Blade: She vanished without a word soon after we developed symptoms of psychonekrosis...
Howling Blade: I searched and I searched, but could find no trace of her. I was more shocked than anyone when she suddenly showed up and challenged Forename.
Howling Blade: Seeing how strong she still was, I assumed that her symptoms had abated, and she decided to resume fighting...

Yaana: <sigh> Let me make it crystal clear. You've been using your debt to the president as an excuse not to face the bitter truth. And in doing so, you've lost sight of those dearest to you.
Yaana: It was in order to save you that Eutrope went after Forename for his soul.
Yaana: She thought it was the only way she could be with you, who could see no life outside the Arcadion.

Howling Blade: I... I have no words...
Howling Blade: You're right about everything. The choices I've made have been out of fear that I would no longer be the Howling Blade.
Howling Blade: That's why I did nothing to stop my friend, even though I knew he was going to his death...
Howling Blade: Forgive me, Hector... I should've tried to save you, like they did...
Howling Blade: Thank you for bringing me to my senses. The president has done enough harm. I will help you to stop him.

Yaana: It's heartening to count the Howling Blade himself as our ally!

Retsarra: The Howling Blade is no more. From now on, it's simply Retsarra.

Yaana: Let's continue talking at my gym. Eutrope and Neyuni are there, and they'd be happy to see you.

Retsarra: Understood. There's one matter I need to tend to, so I'll meet you there shortly.

===Speak with Yaana at Tritails Training (cutscene)===
Retsarra: Pets are forbidden where I live, so I was hoping that you could look after these little ones...

Yaana: We'd be glad to. Neyuni has been wanting to adopt a cat for a while now.
Yaana: She must be upstairs with Eutrope. I'll go and see how they are.

Retsarra: ...May I come too?

Yaana: Of course. You and Eutrope have a lot of catching up to do, I expect.
Yaana: We have a situation! Neyuni and Eutrope are gone!
Yaana: Neyuni wouldn't take Eutrope outside in her current state, and her terminal was left on the bed! Something's happened to them!

Familiar Voice: Forename, the unenhanced warrior. For your contributions to the excitement provided by Ascension Arcadia, you have my utmost esteem.

Retsarra: That voice... It's the president.

Ascension Arcadia President: However, I cannot suffer anyone to rewrite my script.
Ascension Arcadia President: And so, as a safeguard against further deviations, I have taken Eutrope and Neyuni into my care.
Ascension Arcadia President: After some coaxing, Metem divulged to me that you wish to cure psychonekrosis.
Ascension Arcadia President: And it just so happens I know where you can find the stimulant you seek. “The Drop of Life,” it is called.

Retsarra: What do you want from us?

Ascension Arcadia President: Two simple things: Forename must continue fighting at the Arcadion, and you must never again meddle with my script. Nothing needs to change otherwise.
Ascension Arcadia President: If you become grand champion, Forename, our soul repository will be at your disposal, and I will even disclose the location of the Drop of Life.
Ascension Arcadia President: That is all. I look forward to seeing your exploits at the pinnacle of the Ascension Arcadia Championship, the heavyweight division.

Retsarra: So the president was a step ahead of us... One wrong move, and Eutrope and Neyuni will come to harm.

Yaana: It seems we have no choice but to place our hopes in Forename...

What will you say?
> I won't let you down.
> That's a lot of pressure...
> ...


Yaana: Thank you. As your second, I'll continue doing my best to support you.

< That's a lot of pressure... >
< ... >
Yaana: I'm sorry to make you bear such a heavy burden. As your second, I'll do my best to bear it with you.

Retsarra: As will I. I won't turn a blind eye to the president's depraved actions any longer.
Retsarra: Never again will I let anyone be taken away from me...

===Optional Dialogue===
Retsarra: To think the president would stoop so low as to abduct Eutrope, convalescing as she is, and Neyuni, a helpless child. We must do all in our power to get them back.
Retsarra: And when we have, we must stop him once and for all. Deep down, I know that's also what Hector would've wanted.

===Speak with Yaana in front of Tritails Training===
Yaana: ...
Yaana: ...Sorry, I'll be fine. As long as we do what the president says, no harm should come to my sisters.
Yaana: Now, ahead of your campaign to become grand champion, I want you to prepare as best you can in your own way.
Yaana: Whether you train to hone your skills or rest to recover your strength, see to it you're ready for your next fight.
Yaana: I'm truly sorry to place so much on your shoulders, but you're the only one we can depend on. Please come and find me here when it's time for heavyweight matches to begin!

===Optional Dialogue (prior to patch 7.4)===
Yaana: Come to see how I'm faring? That's very kind of you. Truth is, I'm worried sick about Neyuni and Eutrope, but I know only too well that now is not the time to act rashly.
Yaana: Instead, Retsarra and I have put our heads together to see if there's anything we can do without drawing the president's attention.
Yaana: So please, don't worry about me. You should focus on preparing for the heavyweight tier. Your opponents will be fiercer than any before, and you'll need to be in tip-top shape to best them!

Retsarra: To think the president would stoop so low as to abduct Eutrope, convalescing as she is, and Neyuni, a helpless child. We must do all in our power to get them back.
Retsarra: And when we have, we must stop him once and for all. Deep down, I know that's also what Hector would've wanted.

===Speak with Yaana in front of Tritails Training===
Yaana: ...
Yaana: ...Sorry, I'll be fine. As long as we do what the president says, no harm should come to my sisters.
Yaana: Now, ahead of your campaign to become grand champion, I want you to prepare as best you can in your own way.
Yaana: Whether you train to hone your skills or rest to recover your strength, see to it you're ready for your next fight.
Yaana: I'm truly sorry to place so much on your shoulders, but you're the only one we can depend on. Please come and find me here when it's time for heavyweight matches to begin!

===Optional Dialogue (prior to patch 7.4)===
Yaana: Come to see how I'm faring? That's very kind of you. Truth is, I'm worried sick about Neyuni and Eutrope, but I know only too well that now is not the time to act rashly.
Yaana: Instead, Retsarra and I have put our heads together to see if there's anything we can do without drawing the president's attention.
Yaana: So please, don't worry about me. You should focus on preparing for the heavyweight tier. Your opponents will be fiercer than any before, and you'll need to be in tip-top shape to best them!

==Steps==
*Fill the aetherwells before speaking with Gerolt.
==Journal==
*Lydirceil has been poring over the Archive's stone tablet.
*With the vessels glazed and ready, the trying task of filling them through ferocious combat lies ahead. According to Gerolt, the isle's unstable ambient aether is ill-suited to the endeavor, and instead recommends you strike out for battlefields distant and multifarious. Each aetherwell can be replenished via a different Duty Roulette category:

Green: High-level Dungeons
Blue: Alliance Raids
Red: Trials
Yellow: Normal Raids

You may use the aetherwell array to gauge how much aether has been accumulated.

※Speak to Gerolt if you wish to abandon this quest.
*After an endless succession of hard-fought battles, the aetherwells are full. You deliver them to Gerolt, who soon performs the necessary preparations and channels the abundance of energy into his very being. The ancient art of “aetheric bleedin' infusion” thus absorbed, the cantankerous craftsman is almost ready to turn his attention to the phantom weapons themselves. What hitherto unimagined heights of refinement await?
==Dialogue==
'''Gerolt:''' I took a look at the little feller's tablet, an' as far as I can tell, we're on the right track to achievin' aetheric infusion. Just need those bleedin' vessels filled with aether.

'''Lydirceil:''' Appreciate all yer 'elp gatherin' the ingredients. With that out o' the way, we're ready to start fillin' those aetherwells.
'''Lydirceil:''' I've been inspectin' the tablet the Archive handed over, an' it says 'ighly pure aether gets concentrated durin' battle. D'ye reckon 'll be able to get the aetherwells filled while she's out roamin' the isle?

'''Gerolt:''' Me gut tells me the local ambient aether's too unstable. We'll have to try our luck elsewhere.
'''Gerolt:''' In fact, ye'd be better off castin' yer net far an' wide─don't confine yerself to scrappin' in any one location.

'''Q:''' What will you say?

> Nary a fiend in the realm shall know peace!
> Business as usual, then?

'''Gerolt:''' Heh, with a menace like you prowlin' about, have they ever? Anyroad, no doubt you'll have that aether stored up in no time.
'''Gerolt:''' Exactly! Just keep doin' whatever it is you adventurers do an' ye'll have those vessels filled up in no time.
'''Gerolt:''' Right, ye best take the aetherwells. I took the liberty of slottin' them into a makeshift contraption for yer convenience─an “aetherwell array,” if ye will.
'''Gerolt:''' Once you get stuck in, just take a gander at each o' the vessels to see how much aether's stored in 'em.

'''System:''' Completing duties via the Duty Roulette will garner different aspected aether depending on the category chosen.
'''System:''' Once per day, your endeavors will generate additional bonus aether, so be sure to tackle plenty of duties and reap the rewards!
'''System:''' To unlock Duty Roulette: Normal Raids, you must first unlock at least two normal raids.
'''System:''' One such raid can be unlocked by speaking with the stylish stranger on True Vue, in Solution Nine, and proceeding with the quest given.
'''System:''' Please note that the current quest “Aether, Aether, Everywhere” cannot be abandoned via the journal. Should you wish to do so, speak with Gerolt.

'''Lydirceil:''' If the Archive's right, battlin's the quickest way to get them aetherwells filled. A right 'ardship, to be sure, but I'll wager fellin' scores o' foul beasties is all in a day's work for you.

'''Gerolt:''' It's no skin off my nose if ye can't be arsed to fill those aetherwells up. Mind, if you do bugger off now, any aether you've stored'll go to waste.

'''System:''' This quest can be abandoned at any time. Please be warned, however, any aether accumulated will be forfeit.
'''System:''' Abandon the quest “Aether, Aether, Everywhere”?
'''System:''' Are you sure you wish to proceed?

'''Gerolt:''' Take those four aetherwells and fill 'em up with the aether dispersed in battle. If you want to check yer progress, just take a look at the bleedin' things─simple as that
'''Gerolt:''' Four aetherwells, positively brimmin' with energy! I knew you'd have no trouble gettin' 'em filled.
'''Gerolt:''' Hold on. That pained expression tells a different story... Well, you oughta be thankful─if it weren't for yer ol' pal Gerolt an' his special solution, ye'd still be out there fellin' fiends by the dozen.
'''Gerolt:''' Besides, ye won't need to go through that rigmarole again. I can enhance no end o' weapons with all the aether ye gathered.
'''Gerolt:''' Anyroad, that's enough jabberin'. Hand that contraption over and I'll get the aetherwells set up.
'''Gerolt:''' Seven hells! All that highly concentrated aether is flowin' right into me forge─the sheer unbridled power's singin' out to me!
'''Gerolt:''' You did a damn fine job with those aetherwells, lass.
'''Gerolt:''' Right, time to channel this raw energy with me trademark flair!
'''Gerolt:''' MUAHAHAHA!
'''Gerolt:''' With some new materials to work with, I'll soon be takin' phantom weapons to unseen heights o' martial power!

*Obtain chunks of waxing arcanite.
==Journal==
*Lydirceil is keen to proceed with the weapon enhancement endeavor.
※Changing classes or jobs will prevent progress during this quest.
*With Gerolt exuding aetheric energies, all that remains is to procure raw materials to begin the enhancement process. Thankfully, it appears the survey team have managed to extract a sizable quantity of waxing arcanite, which will be necessary to refine your phantom weapon. Given ongoing contractual obligations to the House of Splendors, however, you will need to purchase the requisite three chunks of ore from Ermina, their mercantile representative on the isle. Dodokkuli, meanwhile, waits patiently by the smithy, ready to receive the ore for preliminary processing.

※You may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.

※Chunks of waxing arcanite can be obtained from Ermina in the phantom village.
*Having parted with a hefty stack of hard-earned tomestones, you hand over three chunks of waxing arcanite to Dodokkuli. Eager to behold Gerolt's newfound forging potential, he swiftly completes preparations before passing the reins to the aether-rich weaponsmith. Gerolt draws upon the wellspring of energy within him, successfully emulating the ancient art of aetheric infusion and thus completing this phase of the refinement process. You hold your enhanced phantom weapon aloft, ready to test its true potential on the battlefield.
==Dialogue==
'''Gerolt:''' I've enhanced plenty o' weapons over the years, but never a person─let alone me own corporeal form. I'm ready for another feat o' nigh-impossible genius!

'''System:''' In order to accept the quest “Wrought by Hands Phantasmal,” please ensure that and are either equipped, in your Armoury Chest, or in your inventory.
'''System:''' In order to accept the quest “Wrought by Hands Phantasmal,” please ensure that is either equipped, in your Armoury Chest, or in your inventory.

'''Lydirceil:''' Our wayward weaponsmith's practically oozin' with aether, which means we can finally start the enhancement.

'''System:''' Please note that upon completing the quest “Wrought by Hands Phantasmal,” you will receive a phantom weapon for an .

'''Q:''' What will you do?

> Undertake this quest as another job.
> Undertake this quest as an .

'''System:''' Please speak with Lydirceil again when you are ready to undertake this quest.

'''Lydirceil:''' Let's 'ope all that energy just elevates 'is 'ammerin' skills, an' not 'is rum guzzlin' gullet... Appreciate yer 'elp, at any rate.
'''Lydirceil:''' Oh, it looks like the surveyors've dug up a decent 'aul o' waxin' arcanite─that new ore I mentioned. Three chunks oughta be enough for each enhancement.
'''Lydirceil:''' No doubt Ermina'll gladly charge you an arm an' a leg for them. Be sure to bring the lot to Dodokkuli when yer ready.

'''Gerolt:''' The bleedin' ore's barely out o' the ground afore that tightfisted harpy swoops in, claws glintin'... Don't worry though, lass, she's got no claim to yer phantom weapon.

'''Lydirceil:''' Once ye've sourced three chunks o' waxin' arcanite, give 'em to Dodokkuli so he can start 'is preparations. Gerolt might be brimmin' with enthusiasm an' aether besides, but I reckon 'e'll still balk at 'andlin' the grunt work...

'''System:''' Chunks of waxing arcanite can be obtained from Ermina in the phantom village.

'''Dodokkuli:''' Have you gathered all the waxing arcanite required? You'll need to unequip your phantom weapon before we begin.
'''Dodokkuli:''' Well met, adventurer. I trust you've acquired the necessary waxing arcanite?
'''Dodokkuli:''' An intriguing material, to be sure. I'll commence with the preparations right away─I can't be the only one eager to see Gerolt at work in his aether-imbued state!

'''Gerolt:''' All this power coursin' through me veins... I've never felt more capable!
'''Gerolt:''' MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
'''Gerolt:''' A multi-aspected phantasm o' highly concentrated aether, in perfect harmony with the very essence o' the weapon...
'''Gerolt:''' Behold the true potential of aetheric bleedin' infusion: !
'''Gerolt:''' Behold the true potential of aetheric bleedin' infusion: an' !
'''Gerolt:''' I tell ye, the power output o' these aetherwells is nigh on frightenin'! I can still feel that energy swirlin' inside me.

'''Archive:''' Hohoh, it would appear your endeavors were successful! As ever, there is much to be learned from the past. Ah, speaking of learning─perhaps you wish to hear of the precise mechanics involved in aetheric infusion?
'''Archive:''' Ambient aether subjected to high temperatures is stirred by wind and, in this reactive state, enters the body. Thus bound, the aetheric infusion rapidly cools under the influence of water and escapes the corporeal form. From here, it seeps into the earth where it is purified...
'''Archive:''' And so the cycle repeats, perfectly harmonizing the artisan's internal aether!

'''Lydirceil:''' Like an aetheric version of a pipin' 'ot steam bath...

'''Gerolt:''' I have to admit, this learnin' obscure techniques lark is pretty godsdamned rewardin'.
'''Gerolt:''' Hells, I don't even care about me cripplin' debt to that harridan anymore. Forget the gil─from now on, I'm solely in the business o' refinin' me craft an' expandin' me repertoire!

'''Archive:''' Ah, that reminds me─I have a question for you, my friend.
'''Archive:''' It concerns the knife I found in my sarcophagus. Are you quite sure it isn't a weapon?

'''Q:''' What will you say?

> Strictly a cooking utensil, I'm afraid!
> Well, anything brandished in a warlike manner has potential...

'''Archive:''' Is that so? Or are you simply trying to discourage me?
'''Archive:''' Hohoh! Then we are in agreement!
'''Archive:''' In actual fact, Nym was home to a proud lineage of warrior-culinarians who employed an array of stabbing techniques using naught but their kitchen implements! With such irrefutable proof my knife is indeed a weapon, there ought to be no issue with honing it to deadly perfection!

'''Lydirceil:''' If there's even a word o' truth in that, I pity the poor commonfolk of ancient Nym!

'''Dodokkuli:''' I'm not sure what to make of this revelation. Something tells me the notion would gain little traction among historians...

'''Lydirceil:''' Yer poxy li'l knife's for slicin' popotoes an' dicin' carrots! Yer not gettin' it enhanced─end o' story!

'''Gerolt:''' Slicin' an' dicin', huh. That gives me an idea!
'''Gerolt:''' I'm sick to death o' the bland slop the expedition's been servin' up. It's time we made the most o' the ocean's bounty!
'''Gerolt:''' An' for that we'll need a mastercrafted knife capable o' filletin' even the biggest bleedin' sea creatures!

'''Archive:''' A spot of fishing would certainly make up for the otherwise scant entertainment on the isle. That settles it─while you prepare my blade, I shall be down by the shore, rod in hand!
'''Archive:''' Hohoh, I can hardly wait to see what gargantuan specimens I reel in!

'''Gerolt:''' In that case, I'll hone yer knife while I hunt through that tablet for me next artisanal acquisition!

'''System:''' Enhanced phantom weapons for other jobs can now be obtained after exchanging the requisite waxing arcanite with Dodokkuli in the phantom village.

==Dialogue==
Eccentric Researcher: Pardon me, but you wouldn't happen to be <name>, would you? The very same <name> who saved Solution Nine?
Eccentric Researcher: Ahahaha, I knew it! You, my heroic friend, are in luck, for I'm granting you permission to test your might against my indomitable dummies. Usually, they're reserved for military research, but I'm willing to make an exception for one of your talents!
Eccentric Researcher: Hmm? Nothing to say? Ah, of course. You've been struck dumb by my overwhelming generosity.
Eccentric Researcher: Not to worry, for I will ease you in with a thorough explanation. Once you've returned to your senses, come meet me in the outskirts.

Eccentric Researcher: Ahahaha, there you are! I trust you've recovered from the shock of my initial proposal? Good, good - now let me explain what this is all about.
Eccentric Researcher: I am a researcher for Oblivion, namely in the field of electrope engineering. During Zoraal Ja's reign, I survived within the ranks of his army by helping to research and develop protective materials.
Eccentric Researcher: One of my many projects was these indomitable dummies, and as their name implies, their durability is second to none. They were used to measure the offensive potential of an entire arsenal of weapons to great effect.
Eccentric Researcher: But now Zoraal Ja's no more, and peace has returned to our home. A preferable outcome, of course, but it does mean that my masterworks have been left to rust...
Eccentric Researcher: And that is an affront to science I cannot forgive! Peace may demand we set down our weapons, but the march of progress must go on!
Eccentric Researcher: And so I grant you, who seems to possess might equal to an entire squadron of hardened troops, access to the Spire of Trial.
Eccentric Researcher: Of course, I am more than willing to make adjustments as befits the magnitude of your power. As a woman of science, I can think of no greater honor than to have you testing the limits of my creations.
Eccentric Researcher: You've given me purpose anew, <name>. I'll be here testing and improving the dummies when able, so you're welcome to stop by any time, even if only to gaze upon my indomitable beauties!

System: You now have access to the Spire of Trial - an expansion of [[Stone, Sky, Sea]]. This training ground can be accessed by speaking with the eccentric researcher in [[Heritage Found]].
