Fact and Fiction

That ring you wear... I haven't seen its like in a long, long time. Are you trying to reforge it?

If you've come this far, you must have already spoken to the Evenbards. But the true origins of that ring are far older than they know. It comes from Auroria, where arcane smiths once crafted items of great beauty... and devastating power.

Completing the ring won't be easy. The next piece you need is guarded by the Sea Goddess herself, hidden away using an ancient artifact known as the dead princess's key. But no one has seen the key in thousands of years.

To find the key, you'll need to learn the story of its origins. Travel to Veroe, in the eastern lands of Hasla. There you must seek out Nachen, a famous collector of ancient texts. He will have the answers you seek.

The key of the dead princess? Few know that story... and fewer still have seen the original scrolls. Who have you been talking to, traveler? How do you know the contents of my vaults?
