Lore & Dialog

Nalicana tells you, "Greetings, I am Nalicana, the Seer of the Yalain."
Nalicana tells you, "Due to several factors, including both the return of the... altered... Empyreans, as well as Geraine's manipulations of time via the Book of Eibhil, the Light has empowered several Seers, including myself."
Nalicana tells you, "We may, in turn, empower those who prove their worth to walk the ancient Empyrean Paths, and gain power from the Light itself, known as Luminance."
Nalicana tells you, "The different eras of Empyrean history have each empowered a Path, from our beginnings in the Paths of the Falatacot, through the more recent Dericost and Haebrean Paths, up to the Path of the Yalain."
Nalicana tells you, "To prove your worth, and be empowered to gain Luminance, my task for you is fairly straightforward. There is an Undead, known as Battle Lord Gregor. He is one of Geraine's top nobles, and is the overseer of the forces which now include the beings called Gurog."
Nalicana tells you, "Hidden deep in the area held by these Gurog, he organizes the forces Geraine has chosen to put forth. Find him, defeat him, and bring me his Mnemosyne. Contained therein, we hope to find much knowledge on what Geraine is up to."
Nalicana tells you, "The Gurog have emerged in an area of the mountains of Northern Osteth. You'll find the Battle Lord deep in the caves there."

Some Background on Nalicana :

To represent the Order of Dereth, Lord Asheron had sent his pupil Nalicana. The woman was young by Empyrean standards, not yet three centuries old, and her height was slight, scarcely nine spans. Of course, Empyrean standards were not human standards, so the woman looked as if she were seated in chair made for a child. Ciandra was still unsure what to think of her. Ciandra did not share the prejudice some felt towards Empyreans, but she still wondered how this woman had escaped from portalspace while the rest of her race remained trapped.

The primary of the Kingdoms was the Order of Dereth, a group that in some way or another, had existed since the first humans' arrival to this island; though the Order was led by the great Asheron Realaidain, he was often represented in official functions by his second, an Empyrean pupil from ancient times by the name of Nalicana.
