Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist yawns.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Hello traveler, we are pleased that you have found us out here in the desert. It has been a difficult task building up this place with all of the suspicion that has recently been cast upon the Arcanum in the wake of Nuhmudira's disappearance. Rest assured however, that though her methods may have been suspect, her intentions were pure. I know that this may be difficult to fathom."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "I am sorry, I have not been sleeping well as of late. You see, we have been working day and night to see the work that was begun by Nuhmudira is completed. We redoubled our efforts once she disappeared but were still missing a pivotal link in our preparations until the most unlikely ally appeared to us."
Ciandra's voice falls to a whisper.
Ciandra smiles warmly.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Please keep this as quiet as you can. Asheron, came to us. He said that he wanted to help, that he was worried about Nuhmudira and he...well he gave us some very important and revolutionary guidance. Since that time we have been making great strides forward in our research. So much so that we think that soon - No I should not overspeak myself."
Ciandra giggles with glee, and slowly regains her composure.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Some still cower in fear of him, but without Nuhmudira we were falling behind, and no matter how great our efforts we still could not decipher the secrets that were in our way. But with his assistance we have overcome the greatest obstacle that stood before us in the enhancement of the weapons crafted from Pyreal."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "We've been hard at work on the pieces that he asked us to craft for him. We await word from one of his emissaries to know that we can set people out on the task of collecting the final pieces that he is helping us procure. But he has been silent for one full cycle of the moons now. We have begun to worry."
Ciandra looks you up and down, and finally shakes her head as a smile spreads across her face.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "You look like someone that I can trust. Please seek out Asheron's Emissary, it should be found near Eastham. Speak to it and return to me and tell me what information it imparted to you."
----
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I have been forewarned of your coming and will impart to you the important aspects of what must be done to better enhance your weaponry. Please, listen carefully. I will only impart this knowledge to you but once, as is Asheron's will."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "The power of this worlds magic is strongest here on Dereth it is why his people chose this place as a refuge and place of learning. Lord Asheron has found a font of pure mana, the essence of all magic beneath this land. He has begun excavation of a tunnel that will lead you there so that you may collect this essence and find an application with what your Arcanum teaches."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "You must take care however to not expose yourself to the mana. You will need a device by which to contain the essence, else it twist your form into something that cannot be saved. Your Arcanum has been working on such a device. Return to Ciandra and ask her for something to harness the essence within. Then you should be ready to embark into the earth to obtain the essence."
----
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "We were afraid that this might be the case."
Ciandra turns away for a second, then looks back at you.
Ciandra mutters something under breath and scowls. She regains her composure.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "In the past few months I am sure you are aware that Martine has been harrying our people with assaults that have finally spread to the mainland. His latest assault was done solely against the Arcanum. Somehow he divined the location of our research facilities not far outside of Al-Jalima."
Ciandra sighs.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Sorry...we lost some very important research there. Not to mention that we, as researchers, are not strong enough to re-enter that place. Oh yes, some of his previous incursions were much smaller in scope but this was a calculated strike. It occurred shortly after Asheron's visit to us. He brought those horrible hollow Olthoi with him, and many other foes."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "I will understand if you no longer want to aid us in this endeavour hero, I too am terrified of what Martine is capable of. But if you choose to go, you should collect as many decanters as you can from within. You look as though you could carry...ten. Yes, ten should be more than enough for you. We should leave some for anyone else that wants to help us don't you think? Collect ten and return to me and I will tell you where you should be focusing next. Be careful though. You must do this within the next three cycle of days, or start over."
----
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Yes, Martine has proven to be a formidable foe, when in truth Lord Asheron only wishes to aid him. But there is little that can be done to help him now. Though my Lord has not lost all hope for his redemption."
The being looks you over, and you feel a warm glow surround you briefly.
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I see that you have collected ten decanters. You have performed most admirable in the face of danger you are a true asset to your Queen. Please, take this."
Emissary of Asheron gives you Treatise on Essence.
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "The information within is too large for me to explain to you. It is better that you are given a hard bound copy so that you may refer to it at later times if the need should arise. Know this, the place that Asheron has opened should be free of danger, though it is not easy to navigate. Yet, if Martine, has found this place it is possible that there will be enemies within. There are forces at work that even Asheron has yet to find."
----
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "I see that you have succeeded in finding the essences and have more than likely crafted yourself the new weapons of Isparian make. Thanks to Asheron and Nuhmudira for their efforts. Unfortunately I cannot allow you passage into the research facility yet. Please wait until you three weeks transpire before you collect your next set of decanters."
