You're the Daeva heading to Gelkmaros? Hmm. Surely you've heard about that place, right?

It's totally different from Asmodae. Nothing like Reshanta either. You'll need to be careful—rumor has it that anyone captured by the Balaur goes insane.

Looks like the airship will depart soon. Are you sure you still want to go to Gelkmaros?

"Of course I do."

Is that right?

Well then. I can't wait to see how long you can hold out.

Right, we're leaving. Stay alert!

"Thanks for the confidence."

Ugh...this is awful...if what Nikolai said is right, then I'm highly sensitive to Aether—which would explain why I feel so dizzy and light-headed.

It's like I'm drunk on Aether, but not in the fun way.

Luckily, this could be worse. At least I don't have to return to Asmodae.

"I'm sorry, Cheska."
It's okay. Acclimating to this will take some time, but I'll be by your side again in no time.

Now, hurry and meet [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Hler] and work your butt off to restore the base in Gelkmaros.

"See you soon."

Mm, you're a punctual one. I like it. Welcome to Gelkmaros, Daeva.

Battles are raging all across Balaurea right now. Empyrean Lord Marchutan has helped us drive the Balaur back to a point, but we're currently at a standstill.

"What's the next step in your plan?"

We need someone who can help us push past our current troubles.

High Priestess Agehia seems to think you might be that person, so you have my trust—for now.

First things first, you need to learn a little more about the current situation. Go and find [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Merhen], who will give you more information.

Speak with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Tigrina]

Go to [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF4] by frigate

Speak with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_DF4_Cheska_OP_E]

Speak with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Hler]

Travel to Gelkmaros by frigate.

You met Battleship Crew Tigrina, boarded the ship, and traveled to Gelkmaros.

You arrived in Gelkmaros and reported to Richelle, who was glad to see you there so promptly.

Meanwhile, Cheska was so sick from Aether exposure that she temporarily stayed behind.
