10TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_00Wuk Lamat is eager to set off for the Skydeep Cenote.
21TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_01It has been determined that the gate of the golden city likely leads to Sphene's home reflection. The Queen of Reason has all but certainly retreated there, and in order to find her and thwart her plot, you and your comrades set forth for the Skydeep Cenote.
32TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_02At the entrance to the cenote's inner chamber, Wuk Lamat cannot help but be struck by a pang of nostalgia for the journey thus far. The others join in sharing their feelings before you all proceed inside.
43TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_03So it is that you come before the enigmatic gate to the golden city once more. You take your places as Krile prepares to see if her earring is indeed the key to lifting the seal. In conjunction with the authority Gulool Ja inherited from his late father, the earring serves to open the gate and reveal a portal to another reflection. With the way forward thus secured, it is decided that you, Wuk Lamat, Krile, G'raha Tia, and Erenville will be the ones to sally forth, and you gird yourselves as you regard the golden light into which you must step. ※In the event that you leave the area, you may return via the inner chamber of the Skydeep Cenote.
54TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_04With the portal's protection entrusted to your companions, you sally forth unto the unknown reflection that Wuk Lamat has dubbed the unlost world.
65TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_05Mere moments after entering the portal, you emerge on the other side. Your breath catches in your throat as the scenery comes into view─a sprawling, dazzling city that could only be described as the legend of the golden city come to life.
76TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_06Having composed yourselves after the initial awe, you set about exploring your surrounds. Wuk Lamat suggests following a nearby path to see where it leads.
87TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_07As you and your comrades observe that the city is likely Alexandrian, you are approached by an Endless named Constancy. Introducing himself as a guide, he explains that the city is called Living Memory, and it was originally a recreational attraction for ordinary people before being repurposed as a haven for Endless. When Wuk Lamat indicates your desire to see Sphene, he advises you to seek her out at the Meso Terminal at the center of the city.
98TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_08Sphene appears upon being called at the Meso Terminal, and Wuk Lamat pleads for her to reconsider her course. Alas, the queen refuses to be swayed and vanishes again, but not before revealing that she will erase the memories she has as a living person, that she might shed with conscience to become a devourer of worlds.
109TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SEQ_09Wuk Lamat is dejected that she could not reason with Sphene. As you hear your friend's frustration, you find yourself wondering about the true nature of the Endless, and why Sphene goes to such lengths to protect them.

4948TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GULOOLJA_000_001I'll bet it looks good on you!
5049TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KOANA_000_005These arms and armor are the work of our finest artisans. I can vouch for their quality and functionality both.
5150TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_010With your shiny new gear, I reckon you're ready for anything!
5251TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_011Come, let's head to the Skydeep Cenote!
5352TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KOANA_000_012Access to the area is presently restricted per my orders, so I shall accompany you.
5453TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GULOOLJA_000_015This place is a little scary... I don't know if I could come here alone.
5554TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ALISAIE_000_020It feels like a lifetime ago that we were last here.
5655TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_025The city of gold. Where it all began...
5756TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_030And here we are again...
5857TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_040Koana has already gone inside, but I couldn't help but take a moment. Just being here takes me back.
5958TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ALISAIE_000_041And it wasn't even that long ago that we visited for the rite. So much has happened since then.
6059TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_042Truly. Guided by my grandfather's letter, I crossed the seas in search of answers...
6160TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_043What awaits us on the road ahead, I know not. But I shall walk it to the end with you all.
6261TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_044...Come on, let's go.
6362TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GULOOLJA_000_050This power I've inherited, I'll use for good. I will!
6463TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KOANA_000_055Once again I must leave Lamaty'i in your care. Please return safely.
6564TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ALPHINAUD_000_060I would dearly love to accompany you. But this time I will content myself with seeing you off.
6665TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ALPHINAUD_000_065Where you now go, I pray you find hope. I look forward to hearing your account upon your return.
6766TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ALISAIE_000_070I'm needed here, I accept that. I'm not a child anymore.
6867TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ALISAIE_000_075I'll spare no effort doing my part, so you do yours too. Together, we'll protect what we hold dear!
6968TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_080Twenty years ago I emerged from that gate. Whether or not the answers I seek lie on the other side, I will see things through.
7069TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_085I would be lying if I said I'm not nervous, but your presence gives me comfort and courage. I imagine your other travel companions often feel the same.
7170TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GRAHATIA_000_090If Sphene is intent on plundering aether from other worlds, then our task is clear: we must stop her.
7271TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GRAHATIA_000_095She cannot be allowed to harm anyone else. Neither those who are dear to us, nor strangers we have never met.
7372TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_YSHTOLA_000_100To be completely honest, it is all I can do not to throw myself into that light.
7473TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_YSHTOLA_000_105But I must resist the urge, for my presence will be required here should the gate close. It wouldn't do to lose everyone, our champion not least of all.
7574TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_URIANGER_000_110We who shall remain want for neither expertise nor experience. Worry not on our account, and fix thy gaze upon the path ahead.
7675TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_THANCRED_000_115I'll keep everyone safe. Just concentrate on your own task.
7776TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ESTINIEN_000_120En route here, I caught sight of a large lizard. It looked palatable enough, so I shall hunt it later.
7877TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ESTINIEN_000_125We can enjoy the meat while you regale me with tales of the world beyond after you've returned.
7978TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_SHALE_000_130I've done all I can. If you should meet Cahciua...please tell her I said thank you.
8079TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_135There's no telling what dangers we'll face, I know. But if my mother is out there, I need to find her. And give her a piece of my mind...
8180TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_150This is my world. My home...
8281TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GRAHATIA_000_155Neither the void nor the First... We are indeed come to an unknown reflection.
8382TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_160The “city of gold” is an apt description indeed...
8483TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_170Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
8584TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_171We've literally stepped into the Yok Huy legend!
8685TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_172Whichever reflection this may be, 'twould seem the barrier between here and the Source is thin in Yak T'el.
8786TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_173That would explain the Yok Huy's visions and the location of the gate.
8887TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_100_173Hey, Erenville. That volcano over there─you don't suppose it's real, is it?
8988TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_100_174An actual volcano, spewing forth lava, in the middle of a city? I'd like to see that.
9089TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_110_174H-Hey, you never know!
9190TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_174Look, there's a path down. Let's see where it goes.
9291TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_175The people here. Could they be...?
9392TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GRAHATIA_000_180There's no mistaking the design of this aetheryte.
9493TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_185I see electrope is used here too.
9594TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_190It's strange... Though I've never been to this place before, it somehow makes me feel nostalgic.
9695TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_191Unlike Everkeep with all its advanced technology, here it's brick and stone. It's like we've traveled to the past.
9796TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_192The differences may be more superficial than you think. Take a good look at the buildings around us.
9897TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_193There's electrope everywhere, along with myriad contraptions.
9998TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_194Like how Sphene projects her image onto soldiers, I believe this city's appearance is artificial.
10099TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GRAHATIA_000_195This aetheryte is identical to the one in Everkeep, is it not?
101100TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GRAHATIA_000_196This suggests that this place is Alexandrian.
102101TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_197That would seem a fair assumption. In light of all this, could it be this city is Everkeep's missing twelfth level?
103102TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_198(-???-)Welcome, friends! Welcome!
104103TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_199Who are you?
105104TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_200My name is Constancy, and like you, I am an Endless.
106105TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_201We have been recreated from the memories of those who have exhausted their souls─the departed, in other words.
107106TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_202Great effort is taken to ensure the integrity of your memories, so it will feel no different from when you were flesh and blood.
108107TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_203(Let's go along with it for now.)
109108TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_204I am a caretaker here at Living Memory, city of the Endless, and it is my pleasure to provide guidance to newcomers such as your good selves.
110109TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_205City of the Endless... At a glance, there seems to be many different facilities. What kind of place is this?
111110TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_206Simply put, it is a recreational attraction. The city is divided into four areas, each of which captures scenery that once defined our continent.
112111TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_207In this way we ensure that what is lost is not forgotten. That all precious memories endure forevermore.
113112TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_100_207In Everkeep's early days, this place was used by the living, but it was made a haven for the Endless hundreds of years later.
114113TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_208Now then, if you would please follow me, I shall give you a guided tour. Do take care, as wildlife brought here for preservation roams freely.
115114TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_209H-Hold on a moment!
116115TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_210While a tour would be interesting, it's Sphene that we've come to see.
117116TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_211Oh, so you wish to meet the queen! In that case, you are in luck.
118117TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_212It was just announced that Her Majesty will enter into a slumber, but there is still time.
119118TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_213If you try calling to her before the Meso Terminal, at the center of the city, she will likely appear.
120119TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_214I'm not sure how things work around here, but let's head to this Meso Terminal.
121120TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_215Our thanks, Constancy. We'll take you up on the tour next time.
122121TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_216I shall look forward to it. Good luck seeking out Her Majesty!
123122TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_CONSTANCY_000_220Queen Sphene enjoys meeting her people. I am quite confident she will appear for you at the Meso Terminal.
124123TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GRAHATIA_000_225Like the chamber in the Skydeep Cenote, the electrope here produces a strong golden light. A difference in energy levels, perhaps.
125124TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_230The plants are real as far as I can tell. Not everything is an illusion.
126125TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_235I wonder, can the Endless venture elsewhere, or can they only survive here?
127126TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_KRILE_000_240While Sphene's intentions are good, her methods are anything but. We cannot yield at any cost.
128127TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_GRAHATIA_000_245The Endless were unsustainable from the first. Sphene has been fighting a lost cause.
129128TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_ERENVILLE_000_250The Endless exist in defiance of the laws of nature. But they exist nonetheless, with Sphene holding them to be no different from the living...
130129TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_260Argh! What are we to do now, damn it!?
131130TEXT_KINGMF103_04948_WUKLAMAT_000_261I felt that I had come to understand Sphene, but I'm still clueless. Utterly clueless!
