Dialogue
Optional dialogue
Vrtra has quelled the tempest within his heart. He should be fine.
That Azdaja's eye hasn't succumbed to Darkness bespeaks her incredible resilience.
So let us trust in this sign that she yet lives, and be not deterred in our efforts.
I must apologize for my bout of melancholy. To be so easily shaken ill becomes a great wyrm.
You have remained at my side and ever offered me support and encouragement. I haven't the words to thank you.
Accepting the quest
Am I right in assuming that we are to return to the void?
Now that matters here have been settled, yes. But first, we should return to Radz-at-Han to prepare. When everyone is ready, let us convene at Meghaduta.
Wait at the designated location outside Meghaduta.
Start of voiced cutscene. If everyone is ready, then let us depart for Alzadaal's Legacy.
A rumble is heard, and a beam of orange aether erupts in the distance.
What was that!?
A deluge of aether. The mark of a terrible magick.
It wasn't far from here. Let's go!
By Akyaali
Hey, you! Stop! If you're thinking of taking to sea─don't!
What has happened?
We were out working our nets when a light suddenly shot up over Bhaflau Isle with a boom!
A massive fiend then took to the skies.
Another blasphemy, we feared─but we didn't linger to find out.
Did you see where it was headed?
Can't say for sure, but it looked like it was northward bound.
I see... Our thanks for the warning, and do not let us keep you.
Bhaflau Isle is connected to Alzadaal's Legacy. This cannot be a coincidence.
In response to Cagnazzo's defeat, they have come for our gate...
So it seems. I would ascertain the situation at the vault, but the fiend must be dealt with ere people come to harm.
I shall assume my dragon form and seek it out at once.
Wait.
You heard the fisherman. A blasphemy, they called it.
If another flying creature were sighted now, others will assume the worst, and panic will spread. This is not the way.
What will you say?
I'll see to the fiend.
...You are right, Estinien.
I will gather my soldiers and search the isle for casualties.
As you wish, the fiend is yours.
We can work together on this.
...You are right, Estinien.
I will gather my soldiers and search the isle for casualties.
The fiend, I leave to you.
The hunt will go more swiftly with help. Zero, might I prevail upon you to accompany him/her?
...Very well.
Then Estinien and I will make for Alzadaal's Legacy and secure the gate.
Stay on your guard. The enemy is clever and will have anticipated our response.
Be safe, my friends, and may the Sisters guide your steps.
End of cutscene.
Speak with Zero at Saltwind's Welcome.
We know the fiend was headed north...
But that still leaves a lot of ground for us few to cover.
We need a way to conduct our search more efficiently. Do you have any ideas?
What will you say?
I know people who may have seen something.
We split up and make inquiries.
In other words, we seek help from the locals? If you think it best, then very well.
So. Where to, then?
The Great Work and the encampment at the Hamsa Hatchery? If both places are to the north, then the people there may indeed have seen something.
Very well, I will head to the Great Work, and leave the encampment to you.
Optional dialogue
Ah, Forename. Is this about the happenings at the Bhaflau remnants?
Gather information near the Hamsa Hatchery.
Imhudi: (X:10.2, Y:9.7)
Saw the light over at the Bhaflau remnants too, did you? We've sent scouts to investigate, but they've yet to report back.
We will continue to keep watch here, but if you learn anything, be sure to let us know.
Khuteeyu: (X:9.7, Y:9.6)
These fishermen saw a fiend emerge from the Bhaflau remnants before heading north, you say?
I saw what I thought was a ball of flame flung from the explosion, but now I wonder...
It flew north, in the direction of Khadga. If it is in fact a fiend, then we have trouble on our hands. We must remain vigilant.
Optional dialogue
Speak with Nahbdeen.
I presume you've come to investigate the explosion at the Bhaflau remnants as well.
We've yet to ascertain precisely what happened. Is there any information you can share with us?
A fiend emerged from the explosion and flew towards Khadga!? By the Sisters! Had I learned of this sooner─never mind. There is no time to waste!
