You're not going to have much luck shaking the Piece of Aegis in some voodoo ritual to empower your orb.

No, you need a real craftsman.

There is only one who Daeva can handle an Aegis Fragment: Anusis, master craftsman of Sanctum.

Of course, the skills of such a great man don't come cheaply. You'll need at least--at LEAST--8,000,000 Kinah.

I wouldn't recommend seeing anyone else. Your orb and Aegis could break--craaaack!--during the combining process!

We were friends once, you know, in Artisans Hall. We ate together, crafted together, played together. For a while, we lived together too. Ah, those were sun-sparkling days.

But he would get impatient, and I would get sad. It was not good, was not healthy. That's why I came out here to live. I needed to get away.

But don't let his impatience bother you. No, YOU are a paying customer, and you couldn't ask for a better craftsman. Anusis is the best of the best.

If you're not going to use the Piece of Aegis, can I have it back?

Just spit it out already.

Lighterica are going on in ten minutes.

A Piece of Aegis AND a message from Laestry? This is better than Lighterica.

Mmmm, look at that gorgeous orb. Laestrygos always had an eye for detail. He made me these brooches, you know. I bet he doesn't wear the crude hair pin I made him anymore....

Enough reminiscing! You want the orb and the Piece of Aegis merged, you give me 8,000,000 Kinah. Up front. And if you think that's too expensive, go find someone else.

Out of my shop! When you're serious, come back with all three things--Piece of Aegis, Laestrygos's Orb, and my 8 mil.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a concert to catch.

Most craftsmen can go fifty mortal lifetimes before seeing a Piece of Aegis. Wow. Look at the colors. If you just reach out and...oh! Oh! Hello there, Aegis.

Let me just close my eyes and commune. Mmmmmm. It's in my soul. I can practically feel the vibrations. And here's Laestry's Orb. It feels just like him.

So, your character, you're still here. What do you think of your new orb?

1. Take Laestrygos's Orb, a Piece of Aegis, and Anusis's fee to Sanctum.

   Laestrygos' Orb, Piece of Aegis, Kinah x8,000,000

Laestrygos gave you a Piece of Aegis and said Anusis in Sanctum could combine it with Laestrygos's Orb.

Laestrygos gave you a Piece of Aegis and said you should go to Anusis, a master craftsman who could combine it and your orb into a powerful new weapon.

When you went to Anusis in Sanctum, he successfully imbued the orb with the power of the Piece of Aegis.
