An Outside Perspective 1

What is it?

What happened to Pantheon?

I'm afraid it is a rather sad tale, one that has touched all of Grandis. This world's Transcendent of Life, Gerand Darmoor, has seized control of the Anima. The entire world is in his dark grasp now.

The Nova have not thrived under these conditions... To make matters worse, one of our own betrayed us long ago. A man named Magnus claimed our capitol of Heliseum. The hero Kaiser attempted to defeat him, but did not survive the battle.

Pantheon remained safe for a time, protected by four ancient relics, but two of those are now gone. What remains of our military is devoted to defending our barriers from further decay. I fear what would happen, were they to fall...

If I may, I would like to ask for your help.

Maintaining the safety of Pantheon is a challenge, even with the new Kaiser and Cartalion leading our forces. Can you go to the eastern barrier and scout for any suspicious activity?

Ah, my apologies. I am sure Cartalion and the new Kaiser will deal with the barrier. You need not worry.

The look on your face is enough. I apologize for sending you into danger.

Thank you for fighting for Pantheon. I will send word to

Cartalion to send reinforcements.
