A Secret Mission

Rumor has it you faced Enshaka himself, and nearly recovered the stolen Souleye.

I truly wish you had succeeded, friend. That jewel was even more important than you know.

When the Souleye was first stolen, it was on its way here to Ynystere. Anthalon has been opening terrible rifts throughout the region, sending wave after wave of his undead minions pouring out onto our shores.

With the Souleye, we could've closed those rifts and kept Ynystere safe. But now it has fallen into the hands of the Aust Followers.

The Aust followers are a disgusting cult that's sprung up in Auroria. They worship the necromancer Anthalon as the holy prophet of Kyrios, the God of Destruction.

I shudder to think of what they'll do with an object of such power.

But there is one shred of good news. A former Aust Follower has defected, and says he'll tell us where the Souleye is hidden. But in exchange, we have to guarantee his safety.

You see, our source is adamant that the Aust Followers have agents throughout the southern kingdoms. Nui's Shield, the Blue Salt Brotherhood, even the Crimson Watch.

He says the only shot we have at catching the Aust Followers unaware is to use an outside agent. And from what I hear, we couldn't ask for a better agent than you.

If you're willing, pack your things and head to Waveroar Ruins as soon as possible. Your contact is a blacksmith named Bru. He can tell you how to find the Aust Follower turncoat.

Trust as few people as possible with the details of your mission. Go to Waveroar Ruins, find Bru, and follow his instructions. Find the Souleye before it makes its way to Anthalon... or all of Haranya is doomed.

So those Nui's Shield baffoons finally hired a professional, eh? Good. It's about time they took this seriously.
