The Legion really has come through, haven't they? This attack is going far better than the others did....

Soon enough, we'll take the Divine Fortress and have Reshanta's Eye in our grasp.

We have you and the Alliance to thank for that.

Well, either way, we can't let our guard down quite yet. When we began the assault on the Divine Fortress, Ereshkigal went to ground somewhere.

And there is... something else. Something troubling in a... different way.

The Omen's Herald Legion was trying to find out where Ereshkigal, but when they reported back, several members claim to have spotted Orissan....

At Drakenspire Depths, I thought so, as well. But now he's at Reshanta's Eye--and more than that, he seems to be acting as the Guardian General of the Divine Fortress.

According to our scouts, there's a secret hiding place of some kind that he appears from. I'd like to send you to scout it, [%username], to find out more. Currently, there seems to be some kind of strange force blocking the path there, but... well, you've proven resourceful in the past.

Once the Divine Fortress falls, find Mirash Sanctum Door or Mirash Sanctum Secret Door. Then go to Mirash Sanctum to find out more about Orissan's secret and Ereshkigal's location.

(Unlike the other altars, there is one that is empty.)

(Perhaps there is something more to it?)

(Long scrapes drag through the altar here, and there is some kind of dark smudge. Is that... wet?)

(The scrapes are oddly patterned, and fall into one long lash.)

(A Naga tail, maybe?)

(Several half-melted, glittering scales are strewn about.)

(These are too brittle to be Drakan scales.)

(From the worn edges, they likely come from something that crawls.)

(The gouges and scales do seem to indicate that Orissan was on the altar here.)

(But what could have brought him back to life?)

(The altar is far too small for Ereshkigal.)

(Perhaps you should examine it again.)

(The scales and tail-gouge don't match up with the Harvesters.)

(Perhaps you should examine the altar again.)

(This is a strange, surprisingly unsteady mirror.)

(Some kind of dark energy pulses out from it.)

(Within, you can see Ereshkigal gazing back at you.)

("Hear my call, faithful servants.... Rise, rise again!")

("Throw off your eternal chains of slumber, come to the citadel of ice!")

("I shall await you there, my face to the storm....")

(Somehow, this mirror must be delivering commands to Ereshkigal's servants.)

(Her words indicated she is headed to the citadel of ice....)

(You'd better report back to Brigade General Pontekane.)

It's fantastic that this last attack went so well, but I wish we had found Ereshkigal. I'm... more than a little concerned about her disappearance.

Arguably even MORE concerning are all the reports that Ereshkigal's dead servants have been seen walking around again....

You think Ereshkigal's Legion can bring the dead back to life? That is... disturbing magic, to be sure.

The citadel of ice must be Ereshkigal's citadel. Maybe the Rift at the Divine Fortress leads there? I hope so. I don't... know what this storm she spoke of is, but it can't be anything good.

Well. Ereshkigal may have left the Divine Fortress, but this is at least our opportunity to conquer Reshanta's Eye once and for all. That will give us a powerful foothold, so we can prepare in earnest. Thank you, [%username].

You've done well.

Pontekane is worried that Ereshkigal didn't turn up during the attack on the Eye of Reshanta and the Divine Fortress.

He told you that Orissan, who has returned from the dead, appeared from a hidden spot inside the Divine Fortress. He asked you to investigate Orissan's secret and the whereabouts of Ereshkigal at Mirash Sanctum.

At Mirash Sanctum, you found out that the Harvesters are bringing the dead Ereshkigal legionnaires back to life. You subsequently eliminated the Harvesters preparing for their ritual.

When you examined a mirror, you heard a message from Ereshkigal. She is on her way to the citadel of ice.

You reported your findings back to Pontekane, who is concerned about whatever drove Ereshkigal to leave the Eye of Reshanta.

Furthermore, he wanted to use this chance to take over the Eye of Reshanta while Ereshkigal is away.
