Lore & Dialog
Town Crier tells you, "There are strange reports from adventurers who have been exploring the Eastern shore of the Inner Sea."

Dame Alistra tells you, "I am Dame Alistra, one of Queen Elysa's Knights. It is my chare to disrupt the Gearknight's command structure." Dame Alistra tells you, "Atop the six towers sit six Gearknight Lesser Lords. Destroy six Lesser Lords atop their towers and return to me once you have." Dame Alistra tells you, "To reach the six Lesser Lords you must first make sure their gauntlet of six guardians is destroyed, only then will a portal open to the tower of the first lord."

Dame Alistra tells you, "I see that you've destroyed six Lesser Lords. I shall reward you for your assistance to the Crown." You've earned 2,000,000 experience. You have been granted the title, "All for One". Dame Alistra tells you, "It'll take their leaders time to regroup. Return tomorrow and I should have another task for you."

Dame Alistra tells you, "You have the thanks of the Royal Guard. The Gearknight Commander you destroyed has slowed their advance considerably."

Jin Ato tells you, "Greetings adventurer. I am Jin Ato a member of the Arcanum. The arcanum sent me to retrieve remnants of Gearknight as well as anything else you may collect from their encampment." Jin Ato tells you, "I have been instructed to reward adventurers for lots of 10 Depleted Aetherium Ore as well as Gold Aetherium Core Fragments once a day." Jin Ato tells you, "I'll also accept fragments of any Gearknight cores you may find. I'll take as many as you can get me."

You give Jin Ato Gold Aetherium Core Fragment. Jin Ato examines the piece while you explain where it came from. Jin Ato tells you, "I see we've recovered another Gearknight core fragment." Jin Ato tells you, "This one is much more impressive than most. This deserves a far more significant reward."

You give Jin Ato Large Gold Aetherium Core Fragment. Jin Ato examines the piece while you explain where it came from. Jin Ato tells you, "I see we've recovered another Gearknight core fragment."
