Dialog
People think the Balaur out-maneuvered us, beat us in the field, or snuck through some gap in our security. In reality the Aetheric Field Observatory was destroyed by a precision strike. We don't have the forces to hold back a full-scale Balaur invasion. The Aetheric field protects us from total domination.
The truth is that once the field was down, the Balaur just walked right in. We can't stop their advance until we're sure they can't reinforce their spearhead.
The Observatory needs to be rebuilt if we have any hope of holding on to our lands.
Ask Quest Accept
Gwendolin, the Aetheric Field Protector will know how. She's dead, but, like any good Asmodian soldier, that hasn't stopped her from carrying out her duty.
Drive back the Balaur! Blood for blood!
Quest Accept 1
It's common for a Daeva's ghost to wander around Atreia instead of returning to the flow of Aether. I'm sure you've experienced this at some point in your travels.
It's impossible to know how long we'll be able to communicate with Gwendolin. You should hurry.
Quest Refuse 1
Clearly, you're delusional. You understand the importance of the Aetheric field, don't you? Short-sighted fools like you will bring Atreia to ruin.
Dialog
They finally sent someone to help me. The Fortress couldn't have sent more manpower here before I died?
Oh well, no use standing here crying like an Ellie. Let's get to work.
Dialog
We need to infuse Aether back into the Observatory. A lot of Aether.
This has proved impossible with the Balaur's installation of several Field Suppressors. You'll have to take care of them before we're able to procede.
Don't bother talking to me when you've done it, I'm not going anywhere. The fortress should hear of any update first.
Dialog
your character! Stand and report!
Reward
So the Balaur were inhibiting the flow of Aether. No doubt they were attempting to weaken our defenses for a direct invasion. I don't know how they expected to slip directly into Beluslan, but that is a matter for another time.
We're lucky Gwendolin was able to remain with us long enough to assist you. I'll make sure the restoration effort begins on the Observatory immediately. You've done well.
Summary
Complete
Hod said that Balaurs can penetrate deep into Beluslan because they destroyed the Aetheric Field Observatory. As a result, the Observatory must be restored in order to weaken the power of the Balaur.
He then mentioned a report about the ghost of Gwendolin, an Aetheric Field Protector who was killed by the Balaur and now wanders around the destroyed Beluslan Observatory. He told you to meet the ghost and find a way to restore the observatory.
As Gwendolin advised, you destroyed the Field Suppressors around the observatory and reported back to Hod.
Hod praised your efforts and said that he will send someone to start the restoration immediately.
