Mercedes, the Young Queen

Did you find Afrien? Yeah... He's been getting worse and worse ever since the curse was broken. Anyway Shade, I think it'd be best to go to Elluel if you want to meet Mercedes.

Mercedes is currently adventuring, but she stops by Elluel now and then. The town might be a little gloomy because of the curse, but I'm sure they'll treat you right if they know you're a friend of Mercedes.

Go to Elluel and meet Philius. I've already told him about you. The road to Elluel is quite complicated, so I'll send you near the town. Do you want to go there right now?

(You will be moved directly to the map if you accept.)

I can't tell you where Mercedes is. Even if I hear something, by the time I get back to you she'll have moved on.

This is the domain of the elves. What brings you here, human?

Athena Pierce? Ah, you must be Shade. She told me about you.

Go to Elluel and meet Philius.
