I can't believe the Elyos caught us unaware like that. Yes, we defeated them and their leader, but the damage we took is severe.

There's no way we can advance into Inggison like this. We'll need to fall back and recover first.

And your friend, Cheska....I am so sorry, [%username]. I wish words were enough to ease your pain.

Well met, [%username].

All of our efforts here—the Aether Generation Devices, fighting off the Balaur, everything— They have given us a solid foothold in Gelkmaros.

It's time to push forward now and strengthen our place in Balaurea.

We have discovered a passage known as Silentera Canyon. It will allow us to advance into Inggison, the Elyos territory, much more easily.

I want you to help us with this, [%username]. Ricaldo will give you further information on what's needed. Good luck, and be safe.

I was wondering who'd they'd sent me. I'm glad it's you, [%username].

We have a difficult road ahead of us, but I have full confidence in you.

The discovery of the Silentera Canyon has changed everything. According to our intel, this passage is connected all the way to Inggison.

The first priority is securing the entrance.

Once we advance into Inggison and take control of it from the Elyos, it will give us an advantage in conquering Balaurea.

We stand ready. Head to Vagabatam Gate, make sure it's secure, and then go to the Silentera Canyon Entrance and defeat the The 56th Drakan Elite Soldier.

Buy time for our rearguard to advance and then enter the Eastern Silentera Corridor Entrance.

Fatebound Centurion Vergelan will meet you there and you can join his forces.

(This must be the Eastern Silentera Corridor Entrance that Ricaldo mentioned.)

(It's connected to Silentera Canyon.)

Did Ricaldo send you?

The advance unit has already left for the Heart of the Giant's Square.

You'll need to glide to the East Entrance Approach to catch up with them.

I can't believe the Elyos caught us unaware like that. Yes, we defeated them and their leader, but the damage we took is severe.

There's no way we can advance into Inggison like this. We'll need to fall back and recover first.

And your friend, Cheska....I am so sorry, [%username]. I wish words were enough to ease your pain.

I didn't expect to see you back so soon.

How did the mission go?

My heart aches for your loss, [%username]. Please, take all the time you need to mourn.

May Lord Marchutan watch over all of those we've lost....

Agent Mastarius sent you to Silentera Canyon as part of an advance further into Balaurea.

At Ricaldo's request, you assessed the situation at the Vagabatam Gate and then hurried to the Silentera Canyon. You defeated the Balaur guarding the entrance and destroyed their control device, successfully securing the entrance.

You entered Silentera Canyon and joined the Fatebound Legion. While advancing, you were assaulted by the Elyos.

The Elyos were driven away, but Cheska perished in the fight.

You returned to the Gelkmaros Defense Base to report to Mastarius. He expressed his sympathy and gave you time to grieve.
