The Old Base

Hey, you. I've been seeing you around a lot lately, haven't I?

Haha, you know what?

Entrance to the southern and northern regions has been strictly prohibited for the Senillineans!

• What? Really?
• Let's not talk right now.

Do I look like someone who would play around?

I'm the most serious person I know! I don't know how to play around.

Look at my realistic dance. Hahaha!

• I don't see how dancing relates to how serious someone is.

Well, listen.

The Senillineans can't enter the southern or northern areas any more.

We can only stay in the central pastures! This is our land.

• Why?

Because the northern and southern regions belong to the guardians.

The Senillineans were too weak compared to the gigantic guardians.

That's why we made a promise of balance with the guardians.

• A promise of balance?

Yes. Well, about that.

Ahem, if you're curious, do me a favor first!

Haha. It's nothing big. You should finish pretty quickly.

• Sigh, nothing's free in this world!

About that forest way over there.

There are creatures that look a lot like deer that live there.

I heard their antlers are extremely healthy for you.

• Are you talking about the Giant Elk?

That's right!

Can you bring back 10 Elk Antlers?

Ah, just bring them to Core Alchemist Panaki.

I'll let Panaki know to expect you.

• Whew, okay. (accepts the quest)

That's right!

Can you bring back 10 Elk Antlers?

Ah, just bring them to Core Alchemist Panaki.

I'll let Panaki know to expect you.

• Get going.

I see you've brought everything as promised.

Well, let me tell you about the promise of balance.

• Listen to the next story.

I don't know how long Nevareth has been around, but...

Senillinea has been around for an extremely long time.

Animals have lived on this continent since well before the appearance of humans.

They carry a miraculous power and their leaders can live for hundreds of years.

• Hundreds of years?

The humans on this continent are so weak that it wouldn't be that strange if one day we all vanished.

The animals, however, are gigantic and have miraculous power. They're like gods.

• Godlike animals...

We promised these incredible animals one thing.

We promised to leave the northern and southern forests alone. As long as we respected and acknowledged their existence, they would do the same for us.

That's the promise of balance.

• So, that's what the promise of balance is.

Since then, we've called them guardians.

During the Age of Balance, it felt like they were protecting us as long as we kept the promise.

• Guardians - it sounds sacred.

However, once the tower exploded, the humans and guardians were faced with a new situation.

Our old home was destroyed.

We had nowhere we could go.

In the end, humans couldn't continue to just live in the pastures.

Everything was so chaotic.

• Listen to the next story

That's when Sage Procyon and his comrades appeared.

Procyon offered us a way out of the chaos.

All the Senillineans residing the in the northern forest look up to and respect Procyon.

I'm a huge fan of his.

• Would you tell me about Procyon?

What? You want to hear about Procyon?

Of course!

Procyon made a promise.

He can't stop things that are drastically changing, but he said he can help restore our old way of life to a certain extent.

• What's the old way of life?

Just like how Nevarethians are divided into two countries, Capella and Procyon, the Senillineans are also divided in two.

We're at the crossroads of choice and chaos.

Those who want to return to how we used to live and keep the promise of balance.

And those who want to help usher in a new age.

• Listen to the next story

Humans aren't as weak as we used to be.

By relying on animals and making pacts, we're basically saying that we won't develop our strength.

I think we need to make new changes to welcome our newfound power.

• I'm saying, I don't believe the promise of balance is valid any more.

Procyon promised to do that.

There's plenty of danger on the continent right now. Eventually the humans will conquer it all.

Isn't it wonderful? The Senillineans will finally become the rulers of Senillinea!

• The people in the southern forest must have a different opinion, right? (completes the quest)
