**1K: Explore the labyrinth.**

NOEMASYSTEM: You set out into the ruins, apprehensive but curious. There is a strange kind of beauty here, the beauty of decay; you must be careful not to imbibe too much of it.

Suddenly, an echoing voice speaks to you:

"EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SETTINGS - ACCESS DENIED" it intones. "ERROR 1C155358."

NOEMASYSTEM: Leaving the lost children of Hephaestus behind you, you step out onto a vast plain under a setting sun. Night is falling now, and you can see the lights of distant fires on the slopes of Olympus; but you are not ready to ascend.

Only once you have found all three sigils will the path to the divine flame be open.

NOEMASYSTEM: A path leads to the south, to the Buried City. Another leads north, to the Garden of the Hesperides.

Journey to the Garden of the Hesperides.

Each is a riddle, but the greater riddle is their purpose.

**1K: Search the ruins.**

NOEMASYSTEM: As you walk through the lost avenues of the Buried City looking for a sigil, you come upon a strange sight: a procession of ghostly figures, echoes of a forgotten past or an unimaginable future, trapped in a moment of celebration.

They are smiling, happy, at peace with the world. How do they make you feel?

**1K: Sad.**

NOEMASYSTEM: You decide that these must be memories of the past, of the people who built this city and caused its ruin. They can no longer harm anyone.

NOEMASYSTEM: Walking amongst the ghosts, you come upon a fragment bearing the sigil of the owl. You reach down and take it, and as you do, 54616c6f7320776173206e6f742061206d616e206265636175736520686520626c65642c206275742062656361757365206865206c6f7665642e

Talos was not a man because he bled, but because he loved.
