[Alliance] The Empress's Council

The Empress... Her name was Cygnus, right? Supposedly a descendant of Aria. She must know something about the Black Mage.

Should I meet her? She's probably in Ereve. Wonder if that place has changed much? It was such a beautiful city under Shinsoo's watchful eye.

(When you accept, you will move to Ereve.)

(So, the descendant of Aria? I can see the resemblance. She must have given Phantom a start.)

You... I haven't seen you before. You look strong; did you come to join the Alliance?

Alliance? I... don't know much about the Alliance. However, I have a score to settle with the Black Mage. I came here to learn more about him.

Then you came to the right place. The Cygnus Knights, Explorers, Resistance, even newcomers from another world... We have all come together in the Alliance to fight against the Black Mage.

I see. If I were to join the Alliance myself, what would you have me do?

The Black Mage is the greatest threat Maple World has ever faced. Our Alliance shares information and coordinates our efforts against his forces. Your strength would be more than welcome in our cause.

Will you join the Alliance?

Thank you. I look forward to working with you.

It's a shame you couldn't be here earlier. The first Continental Conference has already ended, but when we hold a second, you're certainly welcome to attend.

Let me briefly go over the birth of the Alliance and the Continental Conference first. This is how it all began...
