I was back in Sanctum when I was called up to work here. I was the toast of the town--the other Daevas I ascended with were all assigned guard duty in our capital.

They were so jealous.... If only they knew what life here was really like.

We're constantly on edge, we have to work long, long shifts, and when our shifts are finally over, we're all too exhausted to do anything other than eat and sleep.

True. I just wish I had been dealt a better hand.

It's all because of the Asteria Chamber, you know. The Balaur hold onto it so desperately, even when all the territories around it have fallen.

Finish them off, would you? Tear their grip from this place, and grant those of us who work here at least a day of respite. I hear there are significant treasures to be plucked, too, so you'd not come back empty-handed.

Good. Now, to get to the Asteria Chamber, you just need to knock on the painting over there. Yes, you heard me right. Knock on it.

The Balaur have set up an elaborate defense network, you see. We found a way to breach their network and create a small portal to their room, and had it placed in the painting's oils.

As soon as you enter, they'll start to hide their treasure, so fight effectively and kill them all. Faith and arms!

So be it.

If this is Ariel's test, then I'll tackle it head-on. I'm not afraid.

Good to see you, your character. How did you fare?

Thank you! Perhaps now I'll be able to catch up and finally feel awake.

Here's a reward for you. Come back if you ever want to help again. I'm sure there will still be plenty of work to do.

1. Kill the Balaur based in the Asteria Chamber (/44).

2. Talk to Sakmis.

Kill the Balaur based in the Asteria Chamber.

Sakmis asked you to kill the Balaur based in the Asteria Chamber, part of the Asteria Fortress.

You agreed to help and were successful in completing your mission. You then returned to Sakmis and were asked to return when you could, as there were still other enemies to dispatch.
