Welcome to Heiron, your character. I am Sofne and I would speak with you a moment.

It has come to my attention that the Lepharists are plotting in the Poya Jungle. This is of some concern.

As my centurions are engaged with the Balaur and undead, I could use the aid of one such as yourself.

The Lepharists have a research base in the Jungle, though they think they've hidden it from me.

I have an agent in place, Finn, who watches over them. I suggest speaking with him.

He has the clearest picture of the plot, he'll know best how to stop it. Please do as he asks.

Um...hi, your character. Sofne sent word ahead that you're here to help deal with the Lepharist Research Center.

I alerted Graa, my superior, about the Lepharists a long time ago. I don't, um, know that she believed me.

She hasn't sent any new orders, so I, um, can't act on my own. You, on the other hand...

Yes, I do, your character. I, um, know the Lepharists are conducting experiments.

Reconnaissance reports indicate they're injecting some kind of poison into animals and plants.

Sadly, we don't know why and that's often a more important question than what.

You'll find Synthesis Researcher Twisk in the Lepharist Research Center.

He probably has samples of Research Center Poison. Relieve him of it.

Take the samples to Jumentis in Sanctum. He's forgotten more about poisons than we'll ever know.

Another visit from your character? People will say we're in love. The scandal!

Well, what did you bring this time? Nothing boring, I hope.

To be fair, it's rare for a poisoner of my rank to be surprised, but I really do hate to be bored.

You got this at the Lepharist Research Center? I'll wager you were wading in blood.

Oh my! This poison is modified Blood of Meslamtaeda. It's been heavily altered, but I know what I'm seeing.

Exquisitely toxic, and if you add specific reagents to it you can force people or beasts into whatever shape you choose.

The Blood of Meslamtaeda has been found in Eltnen, and now Heiron. How did the Lepharists get it?

If this poison spreads across Elysea, Aion knows what a catastrophe that would be. You must return to the Lepharist Research Center at once!

Kill Chairman Garnis! I sense his hand behind this abomination.

You came to Sanctum without any business to attend to? How droll.

I don't have time to talk just now. Unlike you, I'm rather busy.

Do come back if you have any poison for me to analyze, however.

You're back, your character! I was beginning to worry.

Did you slay Chairman Garnis as I asked?

Was I right? Was he behind the poison?

Garnis held a deep grudge against Sanctum because we expelled any who were tainted with the Blood of Meslamtaeda.

I just can't understand how he managed to survive, much less join the Lepharist revolutionaries.

True, true, thanks to you. So, the Lepharists continue to research the poison, and there is a Daeva among them....

This is disturbing, your character. The Lyceum must be informed.

Please inform Thrasymedes about this foul business at once.

Welcome, your character.

The tension in your face tells me you're not here for a social call.

Be at ease and tell me your news.

The Blood of Meslamtaeda was developed for the war against Asmodae. I'm not pleased to hear it's been refined into a new horror.

More disturbing is the fact that Garnis worked directly for the Lepharists. Frightening indeed.

I will inform the Lyceum and Lady Yustiel of this fact and take a proper action. You are to be commended!

1. Talk with Sofne.

2. Talk with Finn.

3. Take a poison sample from Synthesis Researcher Twisk and bring it to Jumentis.

   Research Center Poison

4. Get rid of Chairman Garnis at the Lepharist research center (/1).

5. Report the result to Jumentis.

6. Report the result to Thrasymedes.

The Lepharists are conducting strange experiments. Speak with Sofne and see what you can do to help.

Sofne ordered you to monitor the movements of the Lepharists. You found Finn, who sent you into the Research Center where you found a strange poison.

You brought the poison to Jumentis. He was surprised to see it and said the poison was based on the Blood of Meslamtaeda. He ordered the death of Garnis, the lab complex chairman, and the test subject Kirrin. You then reported the result to Thrasymedes, at the Lyceum.
