When first I came to Heiron, all the lands around here were lush, verdant forests.

Since then I've watched the land succumb to decay.

I've no idea. All my efforts go to maintaining the Aetheric Field.

And since the Balaur managed to penetrate it somehow, I've had my hands full.

Let's focus on the matter at hand. We need to study the problem.

Bring me roots from Lumbering Agrints and Greenclaw Rotrons. I'll try and determine the cause of the corruption.

Have you brought the samples I requested?

These are...quite unhealthy-looking. Hmm...I'm afraid it's beyond my abilities to diagnose the problem.

We'll need the expertise of an Elim. There's a town nearby, Arbolu's Haven, where Humans and Elim live side-by side.

Take these roots to Mersephon there. He could tell you more.

This is not a small problem. If we neglect it--who knows what will happen.

Welcome...to Arbolu's Haven. You are...safe here.

You say they come...from Agrints and...Rotrons? This corruption...seems to have...artificial causes.

Bring them to Trajanus. He is...the eldest among us.

If it...has happened in the world...he has seen it before.

Hail...honored Daeva.

Arbolu's Haven...welcomes you with outstretched...branches.

It is not...a natural occurrence.

I hear whispers from the...trees of the Poya Jungle. Humans are doing...terrible things.

They corrupt...even the trees.

1. Talk with Aphesius.

2. Collect the roots of Lumbering Agrints and Greenclaw Rotrons and then bring them to Aphesius.

   Agrint Root Sample x3, Rotron Root Sample x3

3. Talk with Mersephon.

4. Talk with Trajanus.

Order: It seems a strange thing is happening to the trees and the Elim. Let's hear the detailed story from Aphesius.

Aphesius told you that as the forest disappears the number of Agrint and Rotron increases. He asked you to investigate the cause of the problem. You collected the roots samples from the Decayed Grove and brought them to Aphesius. He told you to take them to the Elim.

You showed the root samples to Mersephon and Trajanus, who told you that the roots didn't seem to have changed naturally, but as a result of Human intervention.
