I do not know if your interests lie in matters such as this... but I believe this is worth noting, as I've noticed your people find it difficult to adapt to an environment lacking Aether. For some time now, I've been conducting research and attempting to find ways to replenish Aether in places where it is scarce.

We Reians discovered a way to survive on Drana, but only after much training and research. And we don't believe that it's a solution to the problem...

As we're born from Aion, there'll come a time when we must return to Aether... I share this out of my concern for your people. So you will not endure the same torment we have suffered. If you can bring me some Highland Malodor Seeds, I can demonstrate an interesting experiment for you.

Galam, your character. Did you bring the seeds?

I chose Malodor because they grow very well on barren lands, and are an ideal species for this experiment.

Yes. This should be enough.

Wait a moment.

It won't take long.

You have returned empty handed? I was told Asmodians don't waste time.

The Reians have a saying, Time and Tiamat wait for no Daeva. Perhaps we should change this phrase?

There. It is done.

The Improved Highland Malodor Seeds will release Aether energy during the day, albeit in small amounts.

That is, if this experiment is successful. Would you like to take these and plant them near Varla?

An Asmodian... planting seeds...

I presume you were sent here by Malthorn?

I see.

It seems that Malthorn's experiment has succeeded, to a degree.

The actual result isn't very promising, but it provides a glimpse of hope. Perhaps, in time, we will be able to say we saw the beginning of what became a significant breakthrough.

1. Gather Highland Malodor Seeds and take them to Malthorn.

   Highland Malodor Seed x3

2. Talk with Malthorn.

3. Plant the Enriched Seeds near Varla.

4. Talk with Varla.

Obtain Highland Malodor Seeds for Malthorn's research on Aether development.

Reian Scholar Malthorn said he would demonstrate an interesting experiment for you, and asked you to obtain Highland Malodor Seeds. When you brought the seeds, Malthorn altered them and gave them back to you.

He said the improved seeds would produce Aether energy. The moment you planted them near Varla, the improved seeds sprouted from the ground. She said the result wasn't very noteworthy, but the experiment was promising to a degree.
