10TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SEQ_00The Archive senses a change on the isle.
21TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SEQ_01The Tower of Magic now lies empty, its twisted tenant slain by your hand. Back at the base camp, the Archive receives news of your success with jubilation, positing that the isle's ward is beginning to dissipate. Hoping the ship might now be free to leave, Ketenramm suggests you speak with Ofangeim to check the vessel is still seaworthy.
32TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SEQ_02Learning of your victory, Ofangeim orders a thorough inspection of the ship, soon concluding that the vessel is ready to sail. Ketenramm is eager to share the good news, and so asks the crew to assemble in the phantom village, extending an invitation to you, Iris, and the Archive as well. You dutifully head for the plaza, ready to hear the veteran explorer address his comrades.
43TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SEQ_03Under brilliant blue skies, Ketenramm declares the mystery of Shades' Triangle solved at last and announces the expedition's pending return to Tural. Yet as the crowd whoops and cheers, the old explorer suddenly shifts his tone, asking his faithful crew a favor: that they breathe no word of their exploits upon the isle. Though this precaution is to ensure the knowledge stored within the towers does not fall into the wrong hands, he nevertheless laments the thought of sending his comrades home empty-handed. Despite his worries, however, the crew appear delighted─content at simply having joined the great Ketenramm on his last adventure. Leaving the crowd to their revelry, you gather round as the Archive chastises himself for his actions, prompting Ketenramm to console the old scholar and remind him that the knowledge he so painstakingly preserved may one day save the world. Spirits lifted, the Archive thanks you once again for your endeavors. It is on this high note that you and Ketenramm resolve to make for High Tide Harbor, where the expedition messenger awaits.
54TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SEQ_04After greeting the relieved expedition messenger, Ketenramm announces he will be making his report to the Dawnservants. You wait for his return by the waterside, preparing to be peppered with myriad questions by the messenger. In due course, Ketenramm returns from the palace and invites you to take a stroll to Morrow's Measure. Stopping in front of one of the great stone plinths that line the way, the venerable explorer informs you that he made his report to the Vow of Reason and mentioned nothing of your discoveries on the Occult Crescent. With the expedition thus officially ending in failure, he begins to muse on the nature of adventure, revealing that thrills and experience, not riches and reward, are what drive him ever onward. Indeed, it appears he is already considering his next steps─despite assurances that this outing would be his last. And so, wondering where Ketenramm's path will lead, you make for High Tide Harbor to speak with the expedition messenger once again.
65TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SEQ_05Though the messenger has torn up his report at Ketenramm's request, he expresses hope that your discoveries might one day aid the world. For the time being, he thanks you for your contributions and shares that Ketenramm has already departed to oversee his crew's withdrawal from the isle. Though the expedition is at an end, the Occult Crescent remains accessible, should you have unfinished business on those strange, distant shores...

4948TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_001The crew and I slayed a few more familiars to get those aetherial currents flowin' even smoother. Under the right conditions, that node ought to show up clear as day!
5049TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_100_001That spring in yer step's a dead giveaway! Ye've defeated the Index, haven't ye?
5150TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_IRIS_000_005Ideally, I would observe your feats wherever you go. Alas, the confines of a tower filled with formidable foes is no place for one so delicate.
5251TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_IRIS_100_005Thank you for vanquishing the Index!
5352TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_009With the whole expedition working in unison, we'll soon prevail!
5453TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SYSTEM_000_010In order to undertake this quest, you must first clear the Forked Tower: Magic or the Forked Tower: Magic (Extreme).
5554TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SYSTEM_100_010Please note that a knowledge level of 40 is required to undertake either critical encounter.
5655TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_011Player! Might I surmise the Index was slain by your hand? I no longer sense his presence...
5756TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_012I'm bettin' ye fought tooth and nail to reach the Index and bring him down. Needless to say, we're glad to see yer none the worse for wear!
5857TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_013I don't wish to dampen the mood, but his defeat will not immediately restore the North Horn to its original state...
5958TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_014Nevertheless, with his reckless experiments laid to rest, the world can rest easy.
6059TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_IRIS_000_015Thanks to you, my heart wells with hope for the isle. I look forward to witnessing its recovery over the years to come!
6160TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_016Of course, with the demise of the Index, the isle's ward ought to gradually dissipate.
6261TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_017As will the force that has held your ship in place. In fact, you might be able to leave already.
6362TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_018Let's go pay Ofangeim a visit then, shall we?
6463TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_020Must've been a lonely vigil out here in the harbor. Ofangeim's done well to keep the ship safe.
6564TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_025I must say, this really is a magnificent vessel. A far cry from the leaky skiff I arrived on...
6665TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_IRIS_000_030The isle *will* recover... I'm absolutely sure of that.
6766TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_OFANGEIM_000_100So ye finally gave that architect feller a good drubbin', did ye? Crackin' effort!
6867TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_OFANGEIM_000_101Look sharp! I want the whole ship checked, on the double!
6968TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_OFANGEIM_000_102Sorry to keep ye waitin'.
7069TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_OFANGEIM_000_103There's nary a trace of the magicks that had the ship pinned in place. I tell ye, it's a good thing we'd dropped anchor...
7170TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_OFANGEIM_000_104Anyroad, the seas are calm and the winds are fair─we're ready to set sail at a moment's notice!
7271TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_105Heh. I bet the old hulk'll be glad to see the back of these shores.
7372TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_106Gather the crew in the plaza, would ye? I've got a few words to say.
7473TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_OFANGEIM_000_107Aye aye!
7574TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_108If ye don't mind, I'd like you lot to join us.
7675TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_110'Tis a relief to know you and your companions will make it safely off the isle. Though I can't help but think of those who came before you that weren't so fortunate...
7776TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_IRIS_000_115The isle will feel quiet once you've all gone...
7877TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_200Since arrivin' on these shores, we've all toiled long and hard─given up our creature comforts, gone toe-to-toe with terrifyin' beasties... But that graft has paid off at last, because we've finally solved the mystery lurkin' in the heart of Shades' Triangle.
7978TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_201And that ain't the only good news. Thanks to Player, the ward surroundin' the island has been dispelled.
8079TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_202In other words, we'll be back drinkin' our fill at Xbalyav Ty'e before we know it!
8180TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_203But before ye start celebratin', I've got a request...
8281TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_100_203Not a word of this expedition is to leave the isle. All we've seen, all we've learned, stays with us.
8382TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_204Of course, that'll mean goin' home empty-handed... But don't worry. This was my decision, and that responsibility lies with me.
8483TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_205The knowledge contained in those towers is just too dangerous. We've all seen the consequences when it falls into the wrong hands.
8584TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_206Still, it breaks me heart to have dragged you all this way for nothin'...
8685TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_EXPEDITION05518A_000_207Wait, so you're saying we'll be the only ones who know what happened on the legendary Ketenramm's last adventure? That's bloody brilliant, that is!
8786TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_EXPEDITION05518B_000_208Indeed. The experience alone has been well worth the journey!
8887TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_209Don't...
8988TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_210Ye'll make this old man cry!
9089TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_211It's clear to me now that trying to preserve all that knowledge was a mistake...
9190TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_212I'm no better than those reckless fools who unleashed the War of the Magi upon the world.
9291TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_213That ain't true.
9392TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_214Look, I've learned plenty over the years─passin' on what I could to those who'd listen.
9493TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_215That's how knowledge spreads. From one mind to another, and then on to the next, spawnin' new ideas and cultures along the way.
9594TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_216Contributin' to that process in me own small way is me proudest achievement.
9695TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_217But ye can't share what hasn't been preserved in the first place. Think of all those civilizations we know nothin' about─the ones that left naught behind.
9796TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_218Of course, some of them were no doubt brought to ruin by the same kind of knowledge ye sought to protect.
9897TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_219But unlike yer fellow scholars from the Fifth Astral Era, you weren't reckless. And without you here to warn us, we might've been loadin' up the ship with dangerous tomes and arcane scrolls this very moment.
9998TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_220Besides, for all we know, the knowledge ye've gathered here may one day *prevent* another catastrophe. So don't go blamin' yerself, my friend!
10099TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_IRIS_000_221I've watched you since the day you summoned me. I know that your intentions were pure!
101100TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_222Thank you. Thank you all!
102101TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_223I suppose it behooves me to think of what purpose this isle might serve moving forward!
103102TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_224Seein' as how it'll take a while for the crew to get packed up, why don't you and I head back to Tuliyollal? The Dawnservants'll be wantin' to hear me report, for one thing.
104103TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_ARCHIVE_000_250I know you can come and visit whenever you like using that confluence in the harbor, but do take care of yourself, my friend.
105104TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_IRIS_000_255You needn't worry about the Archive. After all we have endured together, I've no plans to abandon him now.
106105TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SAILOR05309_000_290Ketenramm! Player!
107106TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SAILOR05309_000_291It's a relief to see you both back on dry land!
108107TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_292Sorry for causin' ye all that worry. The crew'll be headin' back soon, but I figured I'd best make me report ahead of time.
109108TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_293Like I said earlier, I take full responsibility for this decision. Let me handle the Dawnservants.
110109TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_294Wait for me here, will ye? I was hopin' we could parley when I'm back from the palace.
111110TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_300Sorry to keep ye waitin', friend. How about we stretch our legs?
112111TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_301Thought we might take a stroll over to Morrow's Measure.
113112TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_302When I dropped by the palace to make me report, only the Vow of Reason was there to hear it. Of course, when I say “report,” I left out more than a few key details...
114113TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_303I told Koana that, while there's plenty of minerals on the island, the difficulty in gettin' there would scupper any commercial operation from the outset. I let him know we'd be makin' a complete withdrawal once we're finished.
115114TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_304In fact, I recommended we deny the isle exists altogether. Shades' Triangle has claimed enough lives over the years, and I don't want anyone followin' in our footsteps...
116115TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_305I'm guessin' the Dawnservant sensed somethin' in me demeanor, because he didn't say much more─just that he was glad we were back safe.
117116TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_306Koana's a smart lad, though. I'd wager he saw right through me.
118117TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_307Anyroad... Official failure this expedition might've been, it wasn't all for naught.
119118TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_308Plenty of me fellow explorers met their end tryin' to solve the mystery of Shades' Triangle. What we achieved is no mean feat, I tell ye.
120119TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_309But, personally, adventure's never been about results or reward. No, it's the sheer excitement that keeps me comin' back.
121120TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_310I suppose what I'm tryin' to say is... Thanks for indulgin' this old thrill-seeker.
122121TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_311Oh, there was one last thing Koana said to me. Can ye guess what his words were?
123122TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_312“Now that you're back, I suppose you can start planning your next adventure.”
124123TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_Q1_000_000What will you say?
125124TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_A1_000_001I thought this was supposed to be your *final* expedition!
126125TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_A1_000_002Where are you heading next?
127126TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_314Aye, that it was. But as soon as I heard the word “next,” me mind started racin'...
128127TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_315Heh. Don't you go encouragin' me too!
129128TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_316There's somethin' about the word “next” that sets me mind racin'...
130129TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_317That's not to say I'll be forsakin' me duty to Tuliyollal. If anything, seein' this nation grow and prosper is a more excitin' prospect than adventures anew.
131130TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_318While there's still life in these old bones, I'll just have to keep ploddin' along this path of mine.
132131TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_319Ain't that right, Gulool Ja Ja?
133132TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_320Havin' said all that...
134133TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_KETENRAMM_000_321Even if I consider adventure to be its own reward, me crew won't settle for thrills as payment. Without somethin' tangible to show for our efforts on the next expedition, I'll have a revolt on me hands!
135134TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SAILOR05309_000_400I tore up my report once old Ketenramm brought me up to speed.
136135TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SAILOR05309_000_401It feels strange to uncover the truth of the isle only to cover it back up again... But you never know─the world might have need of all that knowledge one day.
137136TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SAILOR05309_000_402Anyhow, Ketenramm set sail a little while earlier. Said he was off to oversee the expedition's withdrawal.
138137TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SAILOR05309_000_403If you've got unfinished business on those shores, feel free to head back yourself.
139138TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SAILOR05309_000_404But for now, let me congratulate you on a job well done!
140139TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_SYSTEM_000_405A new weapon enhancement quest is now available from Lydirceil in the phantom village.
141140TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_INDEX_000_500Witness wisdom's true potential!
142141TEXT_KINGKD108_05518_INDEX_000_600Such potential...squandered.
