Journal
- Erenville looks upon Yyasulani in disbelief.
- You and the others struggle to make sense of what you see as you take in the dreary surroundings. Idle speculation will lead nowhere, however, and so you press on in search of clues that might explain what has befallen Erenville's home.
- Surveying the area, you spy what looks like a train station in the distance. Surmising it to be Yyasulani Station, you head in that direction, hoping to find passengers from the train nearby.
- Though you know for a fact that the train passed through here quite recently, the station appears to have not been used in decades. Wuk Lamat suggests having a look around for anything that might help make sense of the situation.
- A closer examination of the buildings and train tracks lends further support to the possibility that the train station has been unattended for many long years. Perhaps Wuk Lamat has fared better in discovering anything of note.
- Wuk Lamat calls the group's attention to a broken sentry similar to the soldiers that attacked Tuliyollal. While this all but confirms that Zoraal Ja holds control over the area, it fails to explain what has happened to Yyasulani. Its ruinous state suggests time has somehow leapt forward, but you have yet to find anything that might explain such a phenomenon. To be absolutely certain of where you are, Wuk Lamat asks Erenville to take you all to his home, and so the group sets off. All except G'raha Tia, whose attention is drawn to peculiar structures nearby.
- G'raha Tia could not help but notice pole-shaped structures in the distance that appear to function as lightning rods. He moves in for a closer look, and you follow after him.
- Upon closer inspection, G'raha Tia surmises the beacon-like structures are used to harness lightning as a source of energy─though it remains to be seen what that energy is used for. His curiosity sated, the two of you go and rejoin the others.
- Erenville's home is in ruins, the village seemingly abandoned. A sullen silence falls over the group, which is immediately broken by the appearance of a stranger in even stranger garb. She welcomes you to what she calls Alexandria and introduces herself as Sphene, the Queen of Reason. Zoraal Ja rules alongside her as king, but she claims the two are at odds. In fact, she begs your aid in stopping him.
- Talking with Sphene further, you reach the conclusion that two worlds have somehow become one within the confines of the dome, though the catalyst for this phenomenon is not immediately clear. Hoping to show you more of Alexandria, and perhaps shed more light on how this joining occurred, she invites you to a place she calls the outskirts.
- Sphene is all smiles as she leads the group to the outskirts, but Alisaie believes that there is more to the queen than meets the eye. Only time will tell if she is truly friend or foe.

Dialogue
This is Yyasulani...?
There was no sensation of passing into a different world. This couldn't be a reflection...could it?
I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this.
Things keep getting stranger and stranger...
It doesn't make sense...
That tower—was it always there?
No, definitely not. Nor the wall over there.
The material's not something we use in Tural. It's closer to what we saw at the gate to the golden city, or those mechanical soldiers.
Such a massive structure couldn't possibly have been built in so short a time.
Then I'm inclined to assume we've been transported to another location. Or perhaps...
Well, speculation will avail us naught. We need to learn more before we can draw conclusions.
Let's take a look around, then.
This place is isolated by the dome, yet the skies are heavy with thunderclouds. The air oversaturated with lightning-aspected aether...
I recognize the lay of the land. It's definitely Yyasulani. And yet...
Haven't seen anyone so far...
This place is unnatural in a way I've never seen before.
That looks like a train station, doesn't it?
That must be Yyasulani Station, where the passengers disembarked!
Then perhaps we'll find someone to talk to there. Let's go and investigate.
This aetheryte is of Turali design.
It's fallen into total disrepair. Almost as if it hasn't been used in decades...
Amidst enormous alien structures, we have more familiar sights like this station...
This is a water tower for trains, isn't it?
Hmm. I'm pretty sure this is Yyasulani Station...
But from the state of it, I'd swear it was abandoned years ago.
I'm not sure what to make of this. We should look around a bit more.
I think this thing is broken.
You find a train turntable. The thick layers of rust suggest it hasn't been used in years.
The tracks are heavily rusted. It would seem they haven't been tended to for a long while.
The building is a rotting husk. It has clearly been many years since anyone lived here.
Finished poking around, have you? Let's gather everyone, then. I want you all to take a look at this.
It's one of the mechanical soldiers. Long since broken, apparently.
But I'd say its presence confirms this is indeed Zoraal Ja's domain we're in.
What about the rest of you? Did you learn anything?
So all evidence suggests this is Yyasulani Station...
Aye, and I've no doubt we're in Yyasulani. But I don't understand why these buildings are so run-down.
They were completed barely a year ago.
For new structures to deteriorate and enormous ones to appear in a flash... If I didn't know better, I'd say time flows differently here.
Is such a thing even possible?
We have encountered this phenomenon before, as it so happens.
Though it may be difficult to believe, our world is but one of several. In some respects they are similar to one another, but in others wholly different. We call them reflections.
Simply put, the rift between dimensions causes time to flow at a different pace in each world. While hours pass in one, years may have come and gone in another.
But if this is Yyasulani, then we should still be in the Source. The flow of time should be synchronized.
I'm not sure I follow all this talk of reflections and dimensions...
But if Erenville says this is Yyasulani, then it must be.
Your village is a little further along, right?
Erenville!
Oh, uh...
Y-Yes. It's a short distance to the northwest.
Let's head there next, then. Rather than talk theory, it's always better to confirm things firsthand.
<bzzzt> May I...be of assistance?
I-It's still functioning!?
It doesn't seem to be hostile, at least. Perhaps we can ask it some questions.
Can you tell us where we are?
Unable to confirm credentials. <bzzzt> Please present citizen identification.
Unable to confirm credentials. <bzzzt> Confirm. <bzzzt> Confirm. <bzzzt>
Seems it's broken after all...
T-Too strange by half... Let's leave it be and get going.
Are those lightning rods?
Would you accompany me for a moment? There's something I wish to investigate.
Look there. The lightning appears to be drawn to those pole-shaped structures over yonder.
The design suggests they're some manner of lightning rod.
Let's go and take a closer look.
This material appears to be the same as that used in the mechanical soldiers and warships.
On closer inspection, it appears to bear fine etchings... Rather reminiscent of arcane runes, these. I suspect they're not merely decorative.
I would posit it's used to harness lightning as a source of energy. Quite impressive technology.
I'll share this observation with Y'shtola. For a blessing, the dome doesn't appear to interfere with linkpearls.
Thanks for accompanying me. Let's head to the village and find the others.
What in the world...?
This is Erenville's village...?
Oh, Erenville...
Let's stay vigilant.
No sign of anyone...
I think it goes without saying, but we're not going to trust her just like that, right?
Any way you look at it, a mysterious girl who appears out of nowhere, proclaiming herself a queen is suspicious...
Cutscene 1
Start of voiced cutscene.My home... It's in ruins. But why—what happened here?
And where is everyone?
I had a look in a few of the other houses, but they had clearly been abandoned.
Damn it all! None of this makes sense!
Excuse me... Are you looking for someone?
[GIGGLING]
I apologize for giving you a fright. However, I did have reason to keep to the shadows.
Zoraal Ja has told me a great deal about you.
Zoraal Ja?
Greetings, and welcome to the realm of Alexandria.
I am Sphene, the Queen of Reason.
Queen of Reason?
If you are the Queen of Reason, is there perhaps a...?
Yes—if you mean to ask if there is a King of Resolve. Zoraal Ja holds that title, and together do we reign.
Then you're both behind the attack on Tuliyollal!
And I doubt you're here to offer us a warm reception.
No, you have it all wrong. I am not come to fight.
Zoraal Ja rules alongside me, but that is a matter of expedience. In truth, we are at odds, he and I.
It is at considerable risk to myself and my people that I come before you to beg your aid.
Our aid? I'll admit I cannot imagine King Zoraal Ja is keen to share and share alike, but if what you say is true, you're still the queen.
...Indeed. But I was once the sole ruler of Alexandria.
Until, one day, he appeared, bent on conquest. In my weakness, I feared his power...
So I persuaded him to forego violence and strike a bargain. I would remain queen, and he would receive technology that would empower him to achieve even loftier ambitions—along with the knowledge to use it.
A gamble, to be sure, but if it might spare my people...
If I may—the dome surrounding these lands was erected but recently.
How is it he was able to not only invade, but instate a new system of leadership in a mere matter of days?
I've never heard of your realm. And this place is—or at least, was—Yyasulani.
The house I grew up in is still here.
But three years ago, that tower and these strange contrivances weren't. Nor was our village in ruins.
Where did you come from, and what happened to the people who lived here? You must know!
I realize how confusing this all must be. Truth be told, I don't fully understand it myself.
What I can say is that, one day, people from your Tuliyollal suddenly appeared here in Alexandria. Or perhaps it was we who found ourselves in Tuliyollal...
Until but recently, we were completely unaware of events taking place beyond the barrier surrounding our realm.
Does this not remind you of the Crystal Tower? How after the Eighth Umbral Calamity, we devised a means to transport the spire across time and space from the Source unto the First?
Granted, this is on a much larger scale, if that is indeed what has happened. Not only the people and structures, but also the surrounding environment...
Regardless, the people of Lakeland perceived the arrival of the Crystal Tower much as the queen describes her own experience—sudden and inexplicable.
Well then. You appear to have a better grasp of our circumstances than we do. Indeed, more than I dared hope.
In which case, a closer examination of the effects of this phenomenon may afford us more insights. Allow me to take you to the outskirts.
A number of the Shetona live there as well. Perhaps your acquaintances are among them.
Hold on. If we accept, there's no guarantee we're not walking into a trap.
But if we're to defeat Zoraal Ja, we need to understand how he grew so strong. Besides...
You're right.
Queen Sphene? Before we go, Your Majesty, I have to ask. Did you really have nothing to do with the attack on Tuliyollal?
Noble Wuk Lamat—shall we dispense with the formalities?
I'll not deny the soldiers and airships that attacked your people are products of Alexandria, but it was Zoraal Ja, not we, who fashioned them into weapons of war and laid siege to Tuliyollal.
So he alone is to blame.
...No. I may not have prosecuted this war, but I nevertheless bear responsibility for it.
Perhaps. I know next to nothing about you, let alone what you've been through.
So by all means—show us around. I think we'll learn a lot from meeting your people.
[SOFT PLEASANTLY SURPRISED REAX “Oh...”]
Wonderful! If you would follow me.
Is that concern? Or suspicion?
If things should take a turn for the worse...
Might I call upon your aid?
I jest, of course! But you do strike me as the most capable here.
End of cutscene.
