Castle of the Dead (Epic Quests) — Origin

Dungeon

Briefing

Azalea: "Adventurer, you're here."

Becky: "Ah? Who are you? Are you also here to pick a fight with Luke?"

Azalea: "My name is Azalea. I'd like to cooperate with the Apostles for the peace of Arad. I came to see your master."

Becky: "Sheesh, I'm not stupid enough to tell you where he is."

<Player>: "..."

Becky: "Why are you staring at me?"

Azalea: "We know Luke is in this castle. We'll meet him one way or another, and we don't want to cause you trouble for being loyal to your master. But there's [something] I'd like to ask you. Did Luke ask you to protect this castle against intruders?"

Becky: "Huh? Erm, wh-what are you talking about? Intruders must be brought down, of course. They can't just barge in and expect us to throw them a welcome party. Parties are fun, sure, but erm, I'm not throwing one for you!"

Azalea: "You mean, Luke didn't exactly tell you to defeat enemies, did he?"

Becky: "Huh? I just maintain the dimensional navigation system and look at the outside... but I'm going to fight because I can!"

Azalea: "I see. I'm not saying what you're doing is wrong. But you can't beat this adventurer. You should stay here until we meet Luke. Adventurer, there's something I want to check in the next sector. Could you come with me?"

Objectives

Explore Luke Rinje with Azalea.

Dungeon Dialogue

Upon entering the dungeon:
Azalea: "Adventurer, I haven't seen you since you returned from your trip beyond the dimension. How are you? I came as soon as I heard you went to the Castle of the Dead. Yes, we Grim Seekers are also part of the Castle of the Dead investigation group. Since Anton, Empyrean has become so wary of the Apostles that it welcomes anyone, even if they're not related to it, who wants to help [them] with [it]. In fact, it was us Grim Seekers who informed the Empyrean Princess of Luke and his castle. She didn't believe us, but after her people came to Zelva, she reluctantly agreed that there was something here. And Luke isn't the only one who's here. Perhaps you and I can find out what else is there. What do you say?"

Upon Completion

Azalea: "Say, did you find out anything?"

The Grim Seekers in Zelva

Level	85
Quest Giver	Azalea
Briefing	Azalea: "Sparkly, isn't it? This is Luke's optics research center. That gigantic speculum reflects and deflects light, making the Castle of the Dead disappear, like a mirage. It's the reason this castle is hardly visible even from Pandemonium. Even Apostle Hilder wouldn't have been able to come here easily. But the real purpose of this research center is something else, to absorb light from Empyrean. I think Luke is converting the light to fuel himself. I'll tell you why I think this way and what I want you to see in this place... when we go outside. Luke has ears everywhere in here."
Objectives	Leave the Castle of the Dead and meet Azalea. Meet Azalea: 0/1
Upon Completion	Azalea: "This is where we Grim Seekers are camping. Roy and Erica are helping us." Roy: "Who is he? A potential member?" Azalea: "He's the adventurer I told you about before." Roy: "Hm... He doesn't look as smart as you said he was. But why do I care? He's not my responsibility." Erica: "Roy, don't be so rude! You're embarrassing Azalea. Hello, Adventurer. I'm Erica. I haven't been a Grim Seeker for a long time, but I've heard many great things about you." If player isn't from Pandemonium Erica: "Nice to meet you. Oh, I'm also from Pandemonium, but I'm of a different race from that Half-breed at the Adventurer Guild. Ho ho." If player is from Pandemonium Erica: "I'm so happy that you're from my hometown! Welcome."

Azalea: "Roy told me the function of the place we went together. He can tell the structures of places without being there."

Roy: "Well, technically, I presumed the structure, but most times, my presumption is just as good as the actual measurement. *Preen*"

Erica: "Aww, you're practically oozing arrogance from each and every one of your pores."

Azalea: "But what concerns me is that that castle, aside from the light it's absorbed, also has dark energy. Most creatures you've seen radiate dark energy. So I had a theory in mind when I took you to the optics research center. Adventurer, didn't you notice something when you were there?"

Roy: "You have to be more elaborate than that, or people, unless they're geniuses like I, cannot understand you. Tsk, tsk. Hey, adventurer. Go take a look at the machines that roll about the research center. Seeing is believing. It's better you see them yourself."

Azalea: "Actually, not many people know about the Black Nightmare. In Arad, Empyrean, and even Pandemonium, the Black Nightmare has been hiding very well. When I came here and saw the Castle of the Dead, I was reminded of its ominous energy. Underlying Anton's evil energy and dimensional forces could be the Black Nightmare's dark energy that drove the residents of Mount Thunderime to bloody madness."

Erica: "Azalea, I also sensed something strange, but are you sure it's the Black Nightmare? But no one here has fallen asleep. You said the victims of the Black Nightmare fall into a deep sleep, and then wake up angry and destructive. But that hasn't happened to me or anyone else.

Azalea: "That's why I'm not sure if the Black Nightmare really has something to do with Luke. We have to figure it out while investigating this Castle of the Dead. Maybe Luke is also being victimized by the Black Nightmare. I don't know if the Black Nightmare can affect the Apostles, but even if it can't, we must find him as soon as possible. Adventurer, we need your help. I don't want to do this to Luke, but since he would [not] come out on his own, we'll have to cut our own path through his creations."

Strange Speculums

Level	85
Quest Giver	Vaughn Walshuted
Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted: "Hm, it looks interesting. Is it made with Luke's technology? There are Empyrean engineers on Zelva. Perhaps they can find out something useful from this. I'd better take it to them. Want to come with me? Who am I going to? You know that old scientist at the Adventurer Guild. Sir Jurgen said she's also an Empyrean and I can ask her anything I want. What was her name--Meryl? Ah, you've met her. I'm going to go to her. If you know her, then maybe you can come with me."
Objectives	Go to Meryl with Vaughn. Meet Meryl: 0/1
Upon Completion	Meryl: "Mm? You're an Imperial Knight. What brings you to this old scientist? You want me to check this. It's a speculum. Where did you get it? From the Castle of the Dead? Hm... Let me see. This isn't a simple speculum. It's designed to collect energy and spread it afar. What an amazing technology! The creature that carried this emitted a strong light and summoned darkness. But that darkness just could've been an absence of light." Vaughn Walshuted: "The darkness was as powerful as light." Meryl: "I see. But I can't tell you anything yet. I'll have to check this further." Roy: "Meryl, how can you not know that?"

Troublesome Roy

Level	85
Quest Giver	Roy
Briefing	Roy: "The research center these guys visited uses speculums to collect light energy, but most machines in there are vulnerable to light. They'll break down if a strong light spreads inside the place. The one with a small speculum must be immune to light energy. I think it gathers light from the outside and uses it or converts it to a different type of energy whenever necessary. In other words, it's the backbone of the research center. It must be indispensable to Luke. He even made it capable of fighting. Sigh, it's a shame that I don't have time for physical labor. I'd love to go there and experience everything myself, instead of having you do it." Vaughn Walshuted: "...Aha." Meryl: "You twerp, where did you come from? Youngsters like you don't get to call me by my first name!" Roy: "It's me, Meryl! Your beloved, respected friend, Roy! You didn't forget my face, did you? Of course not: who could forget such a handsome face? Look at my hands! People, when they see my cute pinkies, wink at me. There, that should jog your memory, no matter how long it has been." Vaughn Walshuted: (Pinkies that make people wink? They sound as horrible as the Ghost Arm...) Meryl: "..."
Objectives	Return to the Grim Seekers camp before Meryl beats up Roy.
Upon Completion	Roy: "Meryl hit me! She threw a pen at me! Meryl did! I can't believe she's turned into this violent woman!" Vaughn Walshuted: (He's lucky she only threw a pen at him.) Erica: "Sigh... Roy, did you irritate her again?" Azalea: "Roy, are you okay? I understand you're frustrated, but so much time has passed that... ..." Vaughn Walshuted: "Oh, hello. Miss Azalea Lott, right? Of the Grim Seekers, I mean." Azalea: "Yes. I'm sorry I couldn't introduce myself earlier." Vaughn Walshuted: "Not at all. I've been just as busy as you've been. In fact, I have to go report to my princess. See you later. Adventurer, take care." Erica: "Isn't he the knight in the Empyrean-Empire Joint Investigation Group? Azalea, do you know him?" Azalea: "Yes. I met him briefly when I contacted the Empire for help with the Apostles. But please don't tell him about the Tower of Despair." Erica: "Got it." Roy: "Drat! What in the world is going on? I wasn't in the Tower of Despair for a long time, but it was enough for Meryl to completely forget about me. I can't believe my impression on her was so insignificant." Erica: "Sigh Roy is completely disappointed, but I'm not worried. Soon he'll forget and go back to his old loud self. Huh? Is he crazy? He is crazy, but not in the way you think. And Meryl and he probably knew each other a long time ago. In the Tower of Despair, time flows so slowly that you fall behind everyone else outside. It hasn't been long since I joined the Tower, but looking at Roy, I think... I don't want to end up like him." Azalea: "Roy can be emotional sometimes, but he's a very important member to us. And right now, he's being more emotional than he usually is, having met someone he knew after a long time."

Erica: "By the way, Adventurer, did you find a path to the next floor in the Castle of the Dead? I saw you coming out of there with the Knight. You did, didn't you?"

Azalea: "Really? I knew I could rely on you, Adventurer! Adventurer, as I told you before, we left the Tower of Despair because this is an urgent situation. This world cannot exist without the Apostles. Now that Apostle Anton is defeated, there aren't many Apostles left alive. We couldn't help Sirocco, Lotus, Delezie, or Anton. They'd caused too much damage to be let [to] live. But we're hoping Luke is different. Pandemonium's greatest engineer, Luke is known for his abhorrence of physical confrontation. If we cooperate with him, maybe we can change the course of destiny and save the world from destruction. Please help us find him."

Isn't it obvious? Empyrean is a country above the skies. That alone is exciting, and yet there's the Castle of the Dead. We call ourselves the Adventurer Guild for a reason. We had to come even if it kills us. Yes. Others may be focused on the Apostle, but we're here to explore. That alone helps Empyrean. That's how we could come this far. Of course we're well aware of the terror and danger the Apostles pose. If fighting the Apostle is inevitable, we'll help as best as we can. We can't be adventurers if there's no world to explore. Does this answer your question? Then shall we go on an adventure together? *Chuckle* I'm going to have a lot of fun while I'm here, and Karakas will be so jealous of me!"

Briefing	Erica: "Ah, Adventurer. Is something happening inside the Castle of the Dead? Roy said strange waves are coming out of there. Iron Aim? Iron Aim is a giant steel dragon rumored to live in the Salamander's Furnace. I can't believe it really exists! Not many people of Pandemonium know where Luke is or what he makes, but everyone knows about the Salamander's Furnace, the lair of the giant dragon that keeps Luke's castle. Shudder Any topics related to dragons are considered taboo in Pandemonium. Everyone hates them because of the tyrant dragon Bakal. Anyway, that dragon awakens, we'll be in big trouble. It's created by Luke, which means he could be as strong as Bakal..." Nevillo Jurgen: "Sorry to interrupt, but I couldn't just pass by and pretend not to hear you. Did you just say Bakal?"

Upon Completion	Nevillo Jurgen: "Apostle Bakal is also hated by everyone in Empyrean. Are you saying a likeness of Bakal was created by Luke in the Castle of the Dead?" Erica: "I wouldn't say it's his likeness, but... I don't know. I haven't seen it. But if the defense system is activated and awakens the dragon, it could come out of the castle and attack everything in its way." Nevillo Jurgen: "I can't let that happen. An Imperial princess is here. I can't let anything bad happen to the princess of my ally."

Hartz: "I'm worried he might blow up this whole island, and we might not have enough time to evacuate the Princess."

Vaughn Walshuted: "I tried to tell her that, but she wouldn't have any of it. She thinks we're being overprotective. She won't leave unless we can prove Luke can destroy this island at any time. Geez, why did His Majesty let her come here? She should've stayed in Ghent with the other princess, strolling around the garden and admiring the flowers. Sigh..."

Upon talking to Hartz:
Hartz: "By the way, Master, why did you volunteer to help Cyrus? I thought you wanted nothing to do with her."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Are you asking if I have some reason other than to keep the Apostle in check? Yes. If Cyrus gets hurt or dies, I'll have to escort Her Highness myself, and I don't want that. Don't let Her Highness know, though."

Hartz: "Why are you afraid of Her Highness so much? She's polite and dignified. She said she's sorry that she came here only to burden us."

Vaughn Walshuted: "WHAT? Why haven't I heard that? All she said to me was, 'Thank you for taking care of me. Ho ho!'"

It's a mineral originated from Pandemonium. Empyrean Headquarters had it in small quantities, so I asked it to bring it to me. There was something I wanted to check with it. That dragon is created by the Apostle of Pandemonium. There has to be common denominators between it and this mineral. Hm... This reaction... Then that dragon also must--why is that twerp back?"

Roy: "Meryl! Don't you really remember me? I understand you're losing brain cells every day, but you have to have thought about the time you spent with me at least once a day. Unless you're senile, you can't forget such repetitive experience--"

Roy: "...So if you want to destroy Iron Aim, find the device that feeds the energy to the dragon and destroy it! Hah! I said it first!"

Meryl: "*Sigh* Who's the guardian of this twerp? Adventurer, to get past Iron Aim, you must eliminate the device that supplies it with the energy. Have I seen it? No. You could've seen it, but not recognized it. Luke is not stupid. He has to have hidden his defense system's weaknesses. Some of the enemies you ignored must have been modified. Find and get rid of them. You can't remember. Then destroy everything you see. If you can't single them out, you'll just have to get rid of everything and hope they're among them.

Vaughn Walshuted: "We took care of Iron Aim. We fought it for a long time, but Luke didn't show up. I wonder where he is."

Hartz: "Speaking of Luke, that woman named Azalea and the girl named Erica entered the castle to meet him. They looked as if they weren't afraid of Iron Aim. I wonder if they had a guide."

Isabella: "A guide? Do you think Luke let them in?"

Hartz: "I followed them, but Iron Aim was close by. I got distracted by it for a moment, and they were gone. I couldn't follow them any further because I had a mission to perform."

Nevillo Jurgen: "They're acting on their own. Of course, each party is entitled to its own investigation, but still they should've at least told us beforehand."

Vaughn Walshuted: "But now that we defeated Iron Aim, we can move on to the next floor as well. We don't have to be here anymore. Let's go."

Briefing

Nevillo Jurgen: "That's right. Thanks to you, dangerous mysteries in the Castle of the Dead are being uncovered one by one. I'm grateful for our allies from the Empire and the Adventurer. But I"m still worried. So far we've seen neither hide nor hair of Luke, and also we don't know why his ominous castle stands here. It gave Bakal passage to Empyrean and Anton one to Pandemonium. It was seen from Empyrean so rarely that no one thought it was resided by an Apostle. We must find out what Luke is doing in there, at all costs. We can't let him terrorize the citizens of Empyrean like Anton did."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Understood. Deputy Master, since Cyrus is wounded, I want you to stay with Her Highness. The Adventurer and I will go to the next floor."

Hartz: "Got it."

Nevillo Jurgen: "Good luck. Come back safely."

Dungeon Dialogue

Upon entering the dungeon:

Vaughn Walshuted: "This place is unique. It's glittering all over. We've passed the Optics Research Center that gather light, but this place looks much more...refined. I wonder if the Grim Seeker ladies are here. I really hope they'll stay out of things."

<Player>: "..."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Hm, Adventurer, what's wrong? You look as if you really want to say something to me. My life hasn't been much, but if anything, I'm a good listener. If you want to talk, I'm here. I can give you advice on life, adventurers, girls, girls... Ah, I miss my Emily! Anyway, stop staring at me and talk to me. You're frustrating me."

Upon defeating the boss:
Vaughn: "I think someone else passed by here..."

<Player>: "...Vilmark."

Vaughn: "Mm?"

<Player>: "Vilmark's Metastasis experimentation. Why?"

Vaughn: "...How do you know about that? It's a shame, but I was ordered to participate in it. I can barely remember what went on, though. Why don't we focus on Luke for now? I talked about this with the Deputy Master before, but this castle is filled with some evil energy. At first, I brushed it off as the Apostle's, but..."

<Player>: "...!"

Erica: "It's the Black Nightmare's. Luke... Why...?"

Upon Completion

Vaughn Walshuted: "The Black Nightmare?"

Erica: "Yes, the Black Nightmare. The magic that takes away hopes and replaces them with destructive impulses. The light and darkness that fill this place are through the Black Nightmare... Luke, why...?!"

Vaughn Walshuted: "Hey, what the hell did you see? Where's Azalea? Didn't she come in with you?"

Erica: "Azalea and I came in to meet Luke. And here, we met the clown who protected Luke. The clown... I told him that I wish Luke could help the people of Arad. The clown scoffed at me. And now... the people on Zelva are in danger!"

Dana Donatel: "Meryl says she's tired, but Von and I are fine at this moment."

Nevillo Jurgen: "I feel dizzy. I wonder if Luke has poisoned us."

Hartz: "It seems the ominous energy I felt in the Castle of the Dead has followed us all the way here. Darkness also must be part of Luke's power."

Vaughn Walshuted: "I see. Is he capable of both powers of light and darkness? Hey, what happens when someone's exposed to the Black Nightmare for a long time?"

Erica: "He would fall asleep, and then wake up a completely different person. He'd be angry at the world so much that he'd want to destroy everything. Because he's lost all his bright energy."

Dana Donatel: "Adventurer, do you know about the Black Nightmare? It spread in Mount Thunderime as well. So it already caused damage to Arad. Did Apostle Luke really spread this terrible thing?"

Nevillo Jurgen: "If this energy is capable of traveling through dimensions, then it can definitely affect everywhere around this castle, including Empyrean."

Hunter Von: "The Black Nightmare? *Whine* Even its name is scary..."

<Player>: (This is definitely similar to the Black Nightmare, but I don't think it's the same...)

Isabella: "All Apostles are harmful without exception."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Your Highness, you must leave Zelva with Sir Jurgen. This place is too dangerous."

Isabella: "No./ I'm the leader of the Imperial members of the Joint Investigation Group. I came here, knowing the risks. I'm not going to run in the face of the enemy."

Nevillo Jurgen: "As the leader of the Empyrean members, I also refuse to run away from this threat of the evil Apostle."

Vaughn Walshuted: "My head hurts. Adventurer, help. To address this situation, we must search the Castle of the Dead for Luke. And Erica, you should stay here."

Erica: "Okay, I'm sorry. I just have too many things to think about."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Adventurer, let's go to the Castle of the Dead. I want to find the clown that the Grim Seekers met first."

Briefing

Vaughn Walshuted: "Why did you come this far? Zelva is overrun with the Black Nightmare. Do you still want to work together with Apostle Luke?"

Azalea: "This is just a misunderstanding. Luke is the least violent one of all Apostles. We believe if we talk to him, he'll understand our situation. All of you think the Apostles are threatening the world. The truth is, we need them to save our world from destruction."

Vaughn Walshuted: "My head is throbbing. Let's not argue right now. This girl named Erica claims that Luke releases the Black Nightmare."

Azalea: "The ominous dark energy inside this castle is definitely the Black Nightmare's, but that's not what's surrounding Zelva. It's a fog created by the Gold Clown. Stop him, and the fog will be cleared."

Vaughn Walshuted: "That's good to know. We'd better search for him. Do you know where he is?"

Azalea: "We shouldn't confront him. There's something else we have to do first."

Vaughn Walshuted: "This is getting annoying. You're saying we can't fight him. But outside--forget it. You must have your reason for saying that. Adventurer, help this lady. I'll go look for Gold Clown. See you later."

Azalea: "Adventurer. Even though the Gold Clown released the dark fog on Zelva, he's not capable of handling such a dark energy that's similar to Luke's Black Nightmare. I believe he has a helper somewhere inside this castle. Please find his helper first."

Objectives

Find and defeat the helper of Gold Clown in the Banquet Hall of Light.

Azalea: "He's helping the Gold Clown."

Azalea: "Apostle Luke isn't just a gifted engineer. He's also a manipulator of light and darkness. The Gold Clown has stronger affinity to light than he does for darkness. The power of darkness that surrounds Zelva is threatening to him. Now he'll have to deal with it by himself."

Briefing	Isabella: "Sir Walshuted, you're back! Did you get rid of the villain who sicced the dark fog on us?" Vaughn Walshuted: "Yes. I'm glad you're safe." Dana Donatel: "I was surprised at first, but I'm glad this was addressed quickly. Adventurer, good job." Azalea: "I'm glad nothing serious happened." Dana Donatel: "Azalea, I want to ask you something: why did you Grim Seekers act before the others? I mean, when we were still dealing with Iron Aim." Azalea: "We gathered here to investigate the Castle of the Dead, but I didn't know all three camps were required to do everything together." Nevillo Jurgen: "But we've allowed you, the Adventurer Guild, and others who are not related to Empyrean to be here because we wanted to safely investigate that castle that is threatening to Empyrean. You should've consulted the rest of us before you did what you did." Erica: "Wait. When we met the Gold Clown, he was already in the middle of creating that pseudo Black Nightmare fog. We didn't give him any ideas. If you want to talk about timing, Iron Aim--" Cyrus: "You were nowhere to be seen when we fought that mechanical dragon. Are you going to say that we shouldn't have messed with the dragon?" Dana Donatel: "I didn't say this before, but I think you Grim Seekers need a reality check. Talking to the Apostles--are you kidding me? You can't talk to them. Don't you think someone tried to talk to Apostle Sirocco when she first appeared in Arad? Everyone who did died. And then there's the Black Nightmare. I've never heard of such dangerous magic before. But you knew it, didn't you? You knew Luke was threatening to Arad, but you still want to work together with him." Azalea: "At first, we thought Luke was also a victim of the Black Nightmare. We wanted to save him. We didn't know he was the master of the Black Nightmare until we met the Gold Clown." Isabella: "You know Luke created the Black Nightmare, but you still want to work together with him." Azalea: "We do. That's why we Grim Seekers exist. You may not know this, but there's someone else who wants to bring down Apostles. Her name is Apostle Hilder. She's orchestrated myriad events over a long time to satisfy her ambition. Many Apostles have died by our hands until we reached this Castle of the Dead, which was exactly as she planned. We have to stop dancing to her tune, or a great disaster will befall us. We must not let Hilder use us anymore." Isabella: "I understand. But I don't think we'll cooperate with you anymore. Even though we came here to investigate separately from each other, I thought we had the same goal and that we could help each other. But my country and my emperor do not tolerate the Apostles that threaten the world's peace." Nevillo Jurgen: "Empyrean shares the same sentiment as you, Your Highness." Azalea: "What about you, Adventurer Guild? Do you agree with the Empire and Empyrean?" Dana Donatel: "Yes. We don't believe in coexistence with the Apostles. But we don't want to ally with the Empire. We're adventurers. We care about freedom and experiencing new things." Cyrus: "Snort That's why you always get into trouble." Azalea: "I see. Adventurer, may I talk to you for a second?"
Objectives	Talk to Azalea.
Upon Completion	Azalea: "I didn't expect their cooperation to begin with. We Grim Seekers are not doing this to get others' approval. But you found out Iris was being controlled by Apostle Hilder. You of all people should know that I'm telling the truth."

Because someone encouraged them. Stop this someone, and the Apostles will no longer be a threat to our world. This someone, Hilder, wants to kill all Apostles except her and one other Apostle to realize a prophecy, which will bring about the end of our world. I know Hilder's purpose and that the prophecy is telling the truth. But I'm not going to let her end this world like she wants. That's why we built the Tower of Despair and have been cultivating strong warriors, to prepare for the final battle with her. Adventurer, have you ever been the only one who knows the truth? We understand the loneliness and pain that come with such knowledge. We want to share them with you. Lend us a hand, so our friends in the Tower of Despair and we can save this world from this villain. Yes, I know this is not [an easy] decision to make. You should talk to the others as well. Then you'll know who really cares about this world."

When this is over, you'll be treated properly as the hero of Empyrean as you are. You will be able to live the rest of your life comfortably without working, and your glory will" Isabella: "The Empire promises that you'll want for nothing. Position, honor, money--which do you want most? Or the Empire can give it all to you. I already think highly of you, so there is no need for you to think. Just join us, and I'm ready to spend my money on whatever you need. You can have a position in both the Empire and Empyrean, just like Sir Jurgen." Nevillo Jurgen: "Hah hah. She's right. You can be another liaison between the two states. Whatever you want, we'll see you get it. But what's more important is that with us backing you, you can realize your justice. You saw our young people trampled to death by Apostle Anton. Their blood enraged you. I felt cold and desperate in the midst of that dark fog that spread across Zelva. If you and Vaughn didn't stop the culprit, I would've died from exhaustion. But I was told it was not even half as bad as the Black Nightmare that Luke has created, which means the people of Arad and Empyrean are being threatened by something worse than I experienced. Apostle Luke must be defeated by this Joint Investigation Group that represents his victims in Empyrean and Arad. Adventurer, please don't think lightly of what I'm saying. I want you to join us to fight Apostle Luke."
Objectives	Go to Dana Donatel in the Adventurer's Guild. Meet Dana Donatel: 0/1
Upon Completion	Dana Donatel: "Geez, everyone has so much to say. It's understandable. You're the only one on Zelva who doesn't belong to an organization. In a situation like this, where the involved parties are refusing to work together, the one with more talented people gets more power. And you're the hero of Arad and Empyrean. There's little wonder everyone's dying to have you on their side."

The Adventurer Guild's Persuasion and Selection

Level	85
Quest Giver	Dana Donatel
Briefing	Dana Donatel: "Chuckle So I have no choice but to talk. I don't know what the others told you, but I'd like to talk to you about your nature. What made you want to become an adventurer? Whatever it was, the fact that you're still adventuring proves you're a born adventurer. Every member of my guild became an adventurer for a different reason, but all of us love meeting new people in strange places and pushing ourselves to our limits. The world praises us heroes in times like this, when it's in desperate need of help, and in other times it treats us like gravediggers obsessed with finding more lucrative dungeons. But we're only being ourselves, pursuing our passion and curiosity for the unknown. Having witnessed accounts of mistreatment of adventurers, Karakas thought that, even if we adventurers were not recognized for their contributions to the peace of Arad, at least we shouldn't be disposed like garbage afterward. That's why he founded this guild, to protect other adventurers whom he considered his sworn brothers and sisters. The Adventurer's Guild spares no effort to support its members. If they need money or jobs, it finds creditable sources for them. If they're wounded, it provides treatments. One of the quirks of being a member of the guild is that you can pick your comrades among the guild members. The guild vouches for all its members. They're more reliable than some random strangers you meet on the road. The Adventurer's Guild is growing rapidly. Join my guild, and I guarantee you can enjoy being the carefree adventurer as you are, without getting tangled up in political struggles. I won't rush you, but I hope you'll make the right decision."
Objectives	Talk to Dana and join a faction.
Upon Completion	Dana Donatel: "Adventurer, have you made up your mind?" <Player>: I want to join the Joint Investigation Group. I want to join the Adventurer's Guild. I want to join the Grim Seekers.
