Welcome, [%username]. Agent Viola mentioned you would have questions regarding this place.

I am here to help explain our efforts here, if you have the time to listen.

In all of Elysea, Iluma is the region closest to the Tower. Naturally, as a precaution, access is heavily restricted and monitored.

We've established a base here: the site where the first tower fragment was discovered, and we are presently investigating other fragments nearby. The massive fragment you see nearby is the first fragment that fell after the Aetheric Field weakened.

Lord Ariel's Agent Viola came here to protect the Tower of Eternity. And that reminds me: she has a task for you regarding the tower fragment.

Ancient Memory

On the Day of Peace, the talks seemed to begin smoothly, without incident. But upon the Archdaeva's signal, the gathered might of Aion roared in unison, and the land shook.

Throughout the sky the Archdaeva and Empyrean Lords were locked in a fierce battle with Balaur Lords. During the tumult, Israphel stole away from the battle and activated the artifact.

But before the energy was unleashed, a shadow fell across Israphel. It was Fregion, who had guessed Israphel's treachery. Fregion's attack destroyed the artifact and caused a tremendous explosion of energy.

The Tower of Eternity's core collapsed during the explosion, and the energy of Atreia began to dissipate.

Forgotten Memory

The Archdaeva approached. A powerful light burst from the Tower as the Archdaeva recreated the Aetheric Field. The Field separated the chaos from Atreia, and it seemed that the world would be saved.

But inside the Aetheric Field, where the Creator's power ravaged, the Archdaeva's body began to disintegrate.

At that moment, Siel appeared before the Archdaeva. Her eyes gleaming with determination and fear, Siel used her power to stop time inside of the Aetheric Field.

Forgotten Memory

“You are the Protector of Atreia and the fate of Aion is in your hands.

It is true that the decisions we made brought about this tragedy, but it as Aion wills... the destruction of Atreia is not in His plans.

Instead, when the time that was stopped flows once again, when Atreia faces grave danger and is in need of your power, you will return to Atreia and protect the world once more, for that is your duty.

Oh! What!

You followed me all the way here?

Oh. I'm only a record keeper.

I don't know what's IN the records.

So stop following me!

Arieluma and the Lady's blessings upon you, [%username].

Did Sanctum Keeper Ador explain our purpose here?

Oh, yes. There's something I need you to do for me, [%username].

I believe there is a link between the tower fragment Ador mentioned, and you, [%username].

I'd like you to investigate the tower fragment here in the Sanctuary. I'm certain that you'll be able to discover something.

Protector of Atreia

Since the Fifth Era, most people regarded Aion as little more than a structure, despite basking in the glorious light of the Tower of Eternity.

But there were many who remained deeply devoted to Aion. A hero arose to lead the believers and this hero, by great feats of valor, won victory after victory in the war against the Balaur.

But the joy of these victories was short-lived.

Protector of Atreia

As the war continued, the followers of Aion weakened, while the Balaur grew in strength.

When all hope seemed lost before the Balaur onslaught, the hero's faith in Aion was rewarded: a pair of glowing wings unfurled from the hero's back, signaling the birth of the Protector of Atreia.

Facing the glorious light of Aion for the first time, the Balaur trembled in fear. Since then, a Daeva ascended by an Empyrean Lord was called an ‘Archdaeva', a Protector of Atreia.

Empyrean Lord's Proposal

The twelve Empyrean Lords assisted the Archdaeva.

Siel and Israphel, the Tower's guardians, created a colossal Aetheric Field around the Tower of Eternity, and the Balaur fled.

The Empyrean Lords chose great men and women from among the humans and ascended them into Daevas. They built Temples in the north and south of Atreia to train these Daevas.

And thus, the war between Daevas and the Balaur continued for over a thousand years.

Empyrean Lord's Proposal

The seemingly endless war turned when Israphel made a proposal.

While walking inside the Tower of Eternity, Israpel came upon an immensely powerful artifact. The artifact was connected with a great multitude of powers that existed within the Tower of Eternity, and it could harness these powers all at one time. Israphel believed the artifact could be used to destroy the Balaur, and proposed a plan to annihilate the enemy to the Archdaeva and other Empyrean Lords.

They accepted this proposal, thinking it would bring about the downfall of the Balaur. But little did they know that Israphel intended to betray them and become the sole Empyrean Lord of all Atreia.

Go away. I'm busy, so don't bother me.

Anyway, who are you?

Wait. How did you get in here?

Important records of the Aion Tower are kept here! Get out of here, Daeva!

Guards! There's a suspicious Daeva here! Guards!...

You're back.

I don't know why, but you feel different somehow.

What happened with the investigation of the tower fragment?

Then do you remember me now?

Ah, I guess not... but no matter.

From now on I'll help you regain your memory, [%username].

You met Sanctum Keeper Ador, who gave you a rundown on Ariel's Sanctuary.

While investigating the tower fragment at the request of Agent Viola, a mysterious power pulled you inside of the tower.

You investigated the tower and examined the records on the Protector of Atreia, the Empyrean Lord's Proposal, and the Ancient Memory.

You regained some of your past memories and learned about the Archdaeva's existence from the records. After removing the seal on the Archdaeva, you battled him to acquire the Archdaeva's power.

You gained the Archdaeva's power after winning the battle, and then returned to Agent Viola to report on what you have experienced.
