I will not step back any further, your character. If I do, soon enough I will stand back-to-back with the last Daevas left in Elysea.

They say Eltnen is a sinking ship. "Abandon it now while other regions can still be saved," they said. I refused then, and I refuse now.

The rats may have left, your character, but I am no rat. I am a Daeva. Eltnen can be saved. Eltnen WILL be saved.

What about the efforts the Seraphim Lords have undergone in these lands?

Lady Yustiel herself has blessed the Mystic Springs, and if she believes in Eltnen, I believe in Eltnen.

We cannot plant a forest in a desert; what's done is done. We must adapt and think laterally. Examine, Evaluate, then Execute.

Yes. You cannot place a forest in a desert, but you can search for hardier seeds of hardier trees. As a castle is built on foundations, these new trees will be Eltnen's new fortress.

I have found the seeds we need. And with the power of the Mystic Springs, we can cut years off our time-frame.

I sent Iandeus to study our options, but have not yet heard from him. Would you be willing to go and ask how he is doing?

Thank you, your character. With Yustiel's blessings, and Ariel's light, I have no doubt that the seeds will flourish. I just need confirmation.

You will find Iandeus deeper in the Manduri Forest.

You disappoint me, your character. I had taken you for a forward thinking soul.

I will make the time to go myself. You should leave.

Hmm, shade or sun? These seeds...so strange.

Ah, hello there! You caught me off-guard, I'm afraid.

I'm all thinking and tinkering, a blind sparkly could...what can I do for you?

Ah yes, Phomona! It was her mission that I was working on.

I'm pleased to say I've made some progress.

Now, I was just about to return with my results, but with you here, perhaps I won't need to.

1. Go to Iandeus and ask how his research has been progressing.

Visit Iandeus and get an update on the study commissioned by Phomona.

Phomona is trying to revive Eltnen, and has commissioned Iandeus to study the seeds of trees which grow well in arid conditions.

However, Iandeus has not yet reported back to Phomona, so you went and asked him for an update. He was pleased to see you, and told you that he did indeed have some progress to report.
