The Sacred City of Adoulin serves as the hub in this region . Story . The Sacred City of Adoulin . The nation of Adoulin in the Far West opens it doors to adventurers to take part in the effort to pioneer the Ulbukan hinterland . The Adventurer heads to the Jeuno Chamber of Commerce and Industry to seek safe passage to Adoulin by waypoint . As the warping technology is incomplete , the Adventurer ends up being stranded in the Ceizak Battlegrounds , where he meets a young woman named Arciela . She points the Adventurer in the direction of Adoulin , and he subsequently registers as an official pioneer with the eponymous Pioneers ’ Coalition . The Adventurer ' s exploits in the wilderness catch the eye of Adoulin ’ s ruling class , and he is invited to a grand feast which is held after an important assembly discussing the future of the city . At the feast , he meets again with Arciela , who is revealed to be the sister of the Grand Chancellor of Adoulin and a descendant of the former royal line . The Ancient Pact . The Adventurer is tasked by Levil from the Pioneers ' Coalition to uncover the secrets of the leafkin , and meets with Teodor , a mysterious man clad in black who claims that a black short sword carried by Arciela is the key to meeting the leader of the leafkin . The blade , known as the Otharsyne , had been passed down the royal line and represents the will of the Founder King . Teodor explains that after the founder king August subjugated Ulbuka many centuries ago , he made a pact to never tread upon its soil that was bound and honored by all his subjects , including the beings known as the Naakuals today . As such , the Otharsyne held with it the authority of the king to defy the very pact he had made . In an attempt to borrow the blade , the Adventurer finds Arciela in Cirdas Caverns , and she decides to accompany him in looking for the leafkin in the Yorcia Weald where they had been sighted in the past few months . There , they meet Rosulatia , the leafkin queen , who explains that a danger is about to beset Ulbuka . She explains that the world tree Yggdrasil had existed in ancient times on the continent of Rhazowa and that a second tree had been planted by King August in Ulbuka using a branch of the original tree . However , when the Orcish Empire razed the world tree in Rhazowa to the north , its connection with its twin tree in Ulbuka still existed , and this resulted in a dark disease that corrupted the World Tree . When Arciela asks how they can help , Rosulatia replies that they should ask the king , and gifts a pome to the Adventurer . In Adoulin , tensions rise as the rift widens between the supporters of the colonization movement and those who opposed it . A sanctioned battle held in the colosseum to resolve the feud is interrupted by Arciela when she fears that the combatants would lose their lives for naught . However , this does not quell the enmity between both factions . Meanwhile , a band of anti - colonization rebels are plotting to assassinate Chancellor Ygnas from their hideout in the Rala Waterways . Upon uncovering this scheme , the Adventurer informs Arciela and they infiltrate the hideout to reason with the conspirators ' leader , but are instead set upon by them . After the Adventurer and Arciela defeat the insurgents , Gratzigg arrives to apprehend the traitors . As Arciela is unable to keep her secret any longer , she calls for a meeting of leaders in Castle Adoulin in a bid to explain the recent public absence of Chancellor Ygnas . For reasons unknown , Ygnas had turned into a leafkin and his condition had worsened to the extent that he could no longer communicate normally . However , the pome that the Adventurer receives from Rosulatia allows Ygnas to speak directly into the Adventurer ' s mind . Through the Adventurer , Ygnas speaks of the World Tree Yggdrasil , the need to continue colonization , and the dangers looming over the Ulbukan continent . Shadows Upon Adoulin . Ingrid , one of the most respected exorcists from the Order of Weatherspoon , returns to Adoulin after a brief sojourn in the Middle Lands . Vortimere , the high exorcist , requests for the Adventurer to escort her upon her arrival to Adoulin Castle . Believing Ygnas ' s condition to be the curse of the Founder King for defying his pact , the leaders of the Twelve Orders had summoned Ingrid back to Adoulin in an attempt to resolve the situation . On examining Ygnas , Ingrid believes that he had been cursed by something else and sends the Adventurer to obtain materials to perform a purging ritual . However , the ritual fails and this reinforces the belief that it is indeed the Founder King ' s curse . Ingrid leaves in order to prepare a more elaborate ritual , and is chastised by Vortimere as the reputation of exorcists in Adoulin is at stake . Together , they see the Adventurer as a threat . Rosulatia ' s pome begins to fade , and Ygnas ' s voice falters to the point where the Adventurer can no longer hear him speak . Before this happens , Ygnas asks them not to break the curse , warns that something dreadful is looming , and points to Arciela , claiming that she is the key to lead them to something . The leaders of the Orders bicker as to what Ygnas might mean , whereas Arciela spends her time in the library poring over books in an attempt to find out more . Meanwhile in the Ceizak Battlegrounds , a girl stumbles towards the woods , as if possessed , but is stopped by Teodor . When the Adventurer coincidentally bumps into them as this happens , Teodor suggests this is the work of forest spirits and gets the Adventurer to seek out Arciela as her knowledge of the spirits is far more extensive . The girl is brought back to her residence . Together with Arciela , the Adventurer finds out that the girl is Nyline , the daughter of Pollimio , a leading figure in the colonization movement . At the Pollimio residence , they find out that Nyline had been acting as though she was possessed and trying to stumble towards the forest . Ingrid argues that Nyline ' s condition is the work of witches residing in the woods , whereas another member of Weatherspoon believes it the same curse that afflicted the Chancellor and is a directed attack due to colonization . The Adventurer discovers that Nyline ' s condition only started after her father had brought back a stone from the wilderness that he had bought from a collector . He had given the stone to Nyline as she too had been captivated by it . Nyline , previously thought to have been sleeping in her room , had escaped out the window , and the Adventurer heads to the edge of the forest in an attempt to find her before it is too late . Nyline is found in Foret de Hennetiel . She passes out after several Heartwing s escape from the stone in her possession . When Nyline comes to , she explains that the faeries in the stone had taken control of her mind and that she had shared her consciousness with them when it happened . She reveals that they had hid in the rock when a pioneer had stumbled upon them and wished to return to their freedom in the forest . The Adventurer is rewarded for his efforts in returning Nyline home safely . When the princess discovers that Teodor was the one who suggested this was the work of forest spirits , she decides to search for him to ask about her brother . Ingrid is furious at being upstaged by Arciela and the Adventurer once again , and is determined to make them pay for crossing her path . Music .
