Dialogue Elda: "You... you are here!"

You "I am... what is this place?"

Elda: "It is the Arcane Rift, a place of great power."

You "I have heard that before... what is it really?"

Elda: "If you want me to get all sciency on you, I will. Magic is like... water. Water has several states, precipitation, collection, evaporation, condensation, and then back to precipitation."

You "No joke, you are going all science talk on me."

Elda: "Quiet. Basically, water moves continually through the system, and every part of that system is only one single part."

You "Okay, following you so far..."

Elda: "Magic is the same. It moves through the Seven Realms, and those who wield magic are only a single part of a larger system."

You "Go on..."

Elda: "So when a Wizard casts a spell, that power is released back into the system, where it is then collected and moved to other parts of the world."

You "What does any of this have to do with this place, and that crazy large beam over there?"

Elda: "Shh. I am getting there. The magic begins to collect after a time, and seeps down through the earth collecting in large pools. At various magical nexuses, that power erupts."

You "Forming one of these..."

Elda: "Exactly! It erupts like a volcano, depositing magic energy back into the system, where wizards, priests, and other magical creatures can then collect and wield it again."

You "Interesting... unfortunate that Pyrrus has a realm right on top of it..."

Elda: "Unfortunate? No. Conniving and planned, yes. This rift is one of the reason Pyrrus settled here."

You "But how did he know about it?"

Elda: "The details are fuzzy, but it is believed that this was originally discovered by Calypso during the elder days. Thus during Mallok's unexpected visit, and consequential thievery he probably discovered it."

You "Which Mallok then told Lord Pyrrus about. Of course, it makes sense."

Elda: "At least you know your history."

You "Is this the reason that Maiden is floating?"

Elda: "Not exactly. The Stormhold mountains are laced with magic, probably because of this rift. It is no wonder that Edward Spellbinder and his wizards settled here in the first place."

You "So what about this structure, all these stone platforms, and are those creatures on them?"


 * "And so we come to the sad part of the situation. Pyrrus, in his thirst for power, has created monstrosities."

You "I've been to Keppel, I know all about those..."

Elda: "Through his experiments, he created several specific variations of normal creatures that can do three things well."

You "What's that?"

Elda: "They don't require food, their DNA absorbs arcane energies from the air, and they obey without question." You "Sounds like a formula for disaster."

Elda: "It is quite terrifying."

You "Is this relevant right now though? What about finding and killing Lord Pyrrus?"

Elda: "That is of course of utmost importance. But as heroes ahead of your time have already bested the creatures of this rift, it is not imperative to kill these monsters any longer."

You "I'll kill them anyway!"

Elda: "Excellent, I was hoping you would help. I can help by opening up travel to and from the Crystal Sanctuary. I am sure you have been there before."

You "I have."

Elda: "Several of the mystics there can help you as you acquire your new gear and fight your way through these monstrosities." You "Then let us get started."

Elda: "Excellent! Return to me if you have any questions, ."
