Dialog

select1

your character, time is flying, flying away! The dreamers and the schemers of Pandaemonium seek you for ascension. It's time for your ceremony.

Once they have honored you, you can climb through their ranks. Climb as high as you dare!

Answer me this: what do you know of the Archons?

Dialog

select1_1

Then take heed! In Daeva society, they are the mighty...Asmodae's best. The Archons will test you as a new Daeva, and their tests are often so subtle you might not even notice.

The Archons will tempt you with power, but resist! Resist! Keep a low profile at first, and meddle not in the games of the Archons. Leap too soon and you'll fall too far.

But not all of Pandaemonium is schemes and deceit. I know a guide you can trust.

Dialog

select1_1_1
Voice: Q2009-1.ogg

Now that you're a Daeva, you must learn to let go. Let go! The Humans you know will live their lives, grow old, and die. But not you--you will forever be a winged Daeva.

The guide, Heimdall, can help you leave Human travails behind and teach you all that a Daeva's life entails.

If you're ready to begin, I can teleport you within Pandaemonium's walls. Or, if you have some final farewells, you can return to the Humans, then teleport from Osmar's place in Aldelle.

Dialog

select1_1_1_1

Then say your goodbyes--goodbye to them and to me.

I wish you the best in Pandaemonium. The Shedim Lords put me in this crystal cell, but I have friends in countless places. Many faces will look kindly upon you, your character.

Blood for blood, friend.

"Blood for blood, Munin."

Dialog

select1_1_1_2

Excellent! You can return to Ishalgen whenever you please. Just use the teleporters scattered across Asmodae and beyond.

Now though, you need only kneel and close your eyes. Close your eyes! When you open them, you will be standing among the walls and halls of the capital city.

Azphelumbra, your character--and blood for blood.

"Blood for blood!"

Dialog

select2

Azphelumbra, your character! Welcome to Pandaemonium.

I am Heimdall, and I have been waiting for you...

Dialog

select2_1

You stand now within the walls of our great city: Pandaemonium. For obvious reasons, Munin cannot be here himself. So he asked that I guide you through your first steps here and ensure you are prepared for what lies ahead.

You must start this new life of yours with a brief ceremony. Go to the Great Temple and speak with High Priest Balder. He will be expecting you.

Hurry, your character. It is unwise to keep Balder waiting. You'll find the temple along the right hand slope, below the bridge.

"On my way, Heimdall."

Dialog

select3
Voice: Q2009-3.ogg

Azphelumbra, your character. I am Balder, high priest of Pandaemonium.

If you are ready, the ceremony can begin apace.

Dialog

select3_1

People of Pandaemonium! Archons of Asmodae! Heed my words!

your character, you have demonstrated flawless courage, tenacity, and honor, proving to us all that you have indeed been chosen for ascension. Now, as we recognize your new status, we remind you of your sole duty: that you give your all for the Asmodian people, striving to rid Atreia of those who seek to harm us.

Now rise, your character. Stand among your new family as a Daeva!

"Blood for blood!"

Dialog

select4

My warmest congratulations, your character.

I have heard of your skills, and I have heard of your...background. Your past as a raider doesn't offend me, of course, but not everyone in this great city is as broad-minded. The supplies from Asmodae's raiders help feed our people, true, but that doesn't mean everyone wants a raider at their supper table.

Ignore these whispers if you hear them, for they will fade in time. To me, the fact that you were chosen for ascension proves your worth.

Reward

select_quest_reward1
Voice: Q2009-4_1.ogg

Ha! I see those rough edges of yours now. Most refreshing! Some here would sooner break their own spine than risk offending others. Or they'll smile to your face, then grimace to your back.

Now that the ceremony is over, I have a gift for you: a weapon to help you carry out your duties.

Choose whichever you wish...Daeva.

Dialog

select5

You would think the Daevas would be happy to see others joining their ranks. Yet about you, some speak with sneers on their faces and derision in their voices.

This is yet another challenge you will have to face, your character. The Daevas here can be warm and friendly, but they are a tight-knit family--hard on outsiders.

But enough advice. I have a gift for you.

Reward

select_quest_reward2
Voice: Q2009-4_2.ogg

Yes, a gift from the Priests and Lords of Pandaemonium.

This weapon symbolizes the pride the Shedim Lords have for you. It's a pride that will only grow in the coming years as you serve Asmodae.

Pick whichever you wish to use, but always remember this weapon is a mighty implement...an implement used in the defense of our lands and people.

Dialog

select6

Ah, your character.

Much has been spoken about you since your ascension. Just between us, you have caused quite a stir among the other Daevas.

Some advice: You would do well to find friends who are also Daevas. They are your new family, after all.

It seems you will have to work harder than most to gain their trust, though. Your past as a raider is most...unusual, shall we say?

Reward

select_quest_reward3
Voice: Q2009-4_3.ogg

Such attitudes are unfortunate, I know.

Now, some good news! I have a gift for you: a weapon. Treasure it and maintain it flawlessly, for it is a gift from the Shedim Lords themselves.

Choose whichever you wish, your character.

Dialog

select7

My sincerest congratulations, your character.

If I am to give you one piece of advice as your trainer, let it be this: Ignore what others are saying about you, whether they say it to your face or behind your back. Many are surprised that a raider ascended.

But they shouldn't be. The Shedim Lords measured against all other Asmodians, and despite your circumstances, they chose you for ascension. That's all that matters.

Reward

select_quest_reward4
Voice: Q2009-4_4.ogg

I regard it as a simple matter of logic. Just as we see things where Humans see nothing, so too do the Shedim Lords see things we cannot comprehend.

In any case, I am confident you will prove your worth to the other Daevas. To help you establish your good name, I have a gift for you--from the Shedim Lords themselves.

Take whichever gift you wish. Choose wisely, your character.

Dialog

select8

your character, is it? Yeah, don't look so surprised. Of course I've heard of you.

Don't worry, I didn't believe everything they said.

Reward

select_quest_reward5
Voice: Q2009-5.ogg

Ah, best not to think about it. And you know what they say: living well is the best revenge!

Take this gift and use it to prove you're better than all of them put together.

Dialog

select9

Well, well, well. You're a Daeva now. My friend Sona from Ishalgen mentioned that you seemed promising.

Congratulations! Well, it's a mixed blessing, since you'll be more in the public eye, as I'm sure you've noticed. But adversity is fuel for our finest creations!

Take that to heart and you'll go far.

Reward

select_quest_reward6
Voice: Q2009-6.ogg

A good weapon will also help.

Here, this is a gift to mark your Ascension to Daevahood.
