You know about the sinking of the continents, but are you aware that no one knows the truth about Cygnea?

For such a vast mass of land to be hidden all this time... then to show up suddenly... it's baffling.

Information Officer Nubes told me he would send me a Daeva to help with my investigation. Is that you?

My investigation aims to unravel the secrets of Cygnea. I believe this new continent was raised by Beritra for a reason.

While researching, I noticed several suspicious-looking ruins

That's right. They weren't just rocks, they looked like some sort of tower, or... something intentional.

It's difficult to describe, but I marked the locations on a map. Go and see for yourself!

This continent was under water for so long, those ruins are bound to tell us something. Take the Ruins Location Map and find out what you can. Let me know if you discover something new!

(A pile of stones, haphazardly toppled.)

(These must be the ruins Mosphera talked about.)

(One in particular stands out.)

(It smells pungent, and tastes like blood. That probably wasn't the best idea you've ever had.)

(It seems to be protected by powerful magic, and will not break easily.)

(It is rough and slightly warm.)

(There are scale-like fragments in the cracks on the surface.)

(There appears to be a body part inside.)

(It seems that whatever this is may be activated by inserting part of a powerful Balaur.)

(It is the corpse of a Balaur.)

(There are no signs of combat, which indicates this Balaur was ambushed.)

(The Crumbled Ruins are not far from this corpse.)

(There is a faint footstep heard behind you.)

(A dreary wind coils around the surroundings.)

Did you check out the ruins marked on the map?

Most of them are broken and crumbling down, but did you find anything new?

What's that?

You found this token after defeating a Balaur who was protecting the ruins?

Hmm... Interesting.

I'd like to have a closer look at the token, if you don't mind.

Do you have anything to show me?

If you don't, what are you doing back here?

The marking on this token looks familiar.

It's an emblem of Tiamat! But it's old... I haven't seen this symbol in a long time.

You said you got it from a Balaur who protected the ruins? Please, tell me everything.

The ruins clearly have something to do with Tiamat. I think it's safe to assume that Cygnea was once Tiamat's territory!

But, why would Beritra raise a forgotten land of Tiamat's from the bottom of the ocean? What is he plotting?

Now isn't the time for speculation. I must report this to the Expedition right away. I never expected to learn something like this, thank you so much!

1. Talk with Mosphera at the Aequis First Hold.

2. Use the Ruins Location Map to find the first location.

3. Examine the Collapsed Ruins.

4. Use the Ruins Location Map to find the second location.

5. Examine the Ancient Balaur Corpse.

6. Use the Ruins Location Map to find the third location.

7. Obtain the Token of Balaur and take it to Mosphera.

   Token of Balaur

Help Mosphera investigate the secret of the suspicious ruins.

You helped Mosphera investigate the suspicious ruins scattered across Cygnea.

From the investigation, you discovered that the ruins are under the protection of Balaur who carry a token bearing an old Tiamat emblem.

Based on that discovery, Mosphera deduced that the ruins are protected by the Balaur serving Tiamat, and that Cygnea was another of Tiamat's territories. She said she would report the findings to the expedition captain.
