The Arcane Trace's Past

Elena is looking for you.

Go inside.

• Go inside (accepts the quest)

So you've come, Warrior!

Have you learned anything more about the Arcane Trace?

• Not much other than that the Rebels there seem to have lost their ability to reason...

It used to be a peaceful wilderness where humans rarely went, a place without monsters.

An academy more developed than any other was formed there.

While Capella began amassing an army at the Arcane Trace in secret, Sage Procyon made the academy a greater priority than anything else.

• So it used to be a peaceful place.

Monsters didn't appear in the vast plains of the Arcane Trace. This made it more suitable for the academy than anywhere else.

But things changed when the victims of the war started gathering there.

• Listen to the next story

The academy couldn't accommodate that many war Rebels...

There was nowhere else that would take them in.

Without anywhere to go, the victims of the war slowly started to go insane.

• What a tragic tale.

All that remained was their anger and cruelty.

They won't listen to what anyone has to say any more.

This might sound cruel, but they'll make mincemeat out of you the moment you take pity on them.

Please be careful.

• I'd better be careful. (completes the quest)
