10TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_SEQ_00Kyokuho is giving you his best “Where have you been, young lady? I've been waiting for days” look.
21TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_SEQ_01With nothing else to go on, Kyokuho suggests a journey to the place of his great-grandfather's training─Yanxia. Since you, too, have no better ideas, you agree to join him in Namai to begin the search for...something. Anything.
32TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_SEQ_02According to the elders of Namai, geomancers once used a temple known as the Swallow's Compass to sharpen their minds and bodies. The temple is now abandoned, but Kyokuho believes there may be a chance that something can be discovered inside. Travel south to the One River and meet him near the building.
43TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_SEQ_03Your intrusion sets off a trap, awakening a guardian ordered by the geomancers to protect the temple gates. The battle is fierce and bloody, but you emerge victorious. Speak with Kyokuho to decide your next move.
54TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_SEQ_04After confirming there are no more traps, Kyokuho enters the Swallow's Compass alone to search for anything that might provide insight into his great-grandfather's barrier. He finds several scrolls that appear to do just that, but their condition prevents him from being certain. Convinced that Murakumo can decipher the scrolls, he sets off for the Shiokaze Hostelry.
65TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_SEQ_05Master Murakumo is indeed able to decipher the scrolls but what he finds leaves Kyokuho─for the first time in recent memory─speechless. The only true way to lay the bonds for an unbreakable barrier is with the blood of a sacrifice. Follow Kyokuho to Kogane Dori and ask what he requires of you next.
76TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_SEQ_06Refusing to even consider the offering of a sacrifice, Kyokuho finds himself back again at a familiar place─square one. Needing more time to think, he suggests you continue your own training until an epiphany is had. ※The next astrologian quest will be available from Kyokuho upon reaching level 70.

5049TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_MURAKUMO_000_000Greetings, Player. I hope your training has fared better than our search for information...
5150TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_000
5251TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_000I have some good news and some bad news, Player. The bad news is, a thirty-seventh reading of my great-grandfather's tomes failed to reveal anything about the bonds that the previous thirty-six readings had not.
5352TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_001
5453TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_001The good news─if you can call it that─is that we *did* discover where Grandmaster Kazan conducted his training when he was a youth.
5554TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_002
5655TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_002How does this help us? Good question. I'm still not completely certain myself, but it is more than we had the last time you were here, and an onze of hope is better than none at all, so...what do you say, friend. Are you up for a journey across the Ruby Sea?
5756TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_003
5857TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_003Hah hah! I knew you couldn't turn me down. Still, the road ahead won't be easy. Yanxia is large and the scars of war run deep along the Gensui Chain. It may be that which might have helped has already been claimed by flame. We'll have to place faith in our fortunes, and hope they guide us true.

6059TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_004I have decided we shall begin our search in Namai for the reason that, well...there is no reason, but you have to start somewhere, eh? I shall meet you there. Safe journeys, Player.
6160TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_NAYAGA_000_009
6261TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_MURAKUMO_000_009Master Kazan would rarely speak of his youth, but I do recall several instances during my own training where he would treat with visitors from the mainland. I did not dare ask who they were, for we were allowed to speak only when spoken to, but now that I reflect back upon those visits, it might have been that the men were geomancers from Yanxia.
6362TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_010
6463TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_010The air is heavy with mist, and these shacks probably let in more rain than they keep out. Something like a tome wouldn't survive a single moon here...let alone the decades since my great-grandfather's training. Still, a few words with the village elders provided an interesting bit of information.
6564TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_011
6665TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_011Though it required some coaxing, several were able to recall memories of robed seers who resided in a nearby temple─a temple that was in use right up until the Garlean invasion and the subsequent banning of all religion.
6766TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_012
6867TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_012The building─called the Swallow's Compass─while since abandoned, still remains in good repair. But listen to this. The locals avoid it for fear of disturbing the spirits with which they believed the geomancers communed. Do you know what this means? There could still be something left inside! Come!
6968TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_020
7069TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_020The Swallow's Compass. Built during the rule of the first Doman king. I took the liberty to explore the grounds before you arrived and discovered this door. I know, I know. It pales in comparison to that impressive gate behind us, compelling any normal thief or bandit to dismiss it outright. But then why erect a geomantic field to protect it?
7170TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_021
7271TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_021I sense the flow of powerful energies here. Whatever lies behind this door, the geomancers wanted to keep it safe.
7372TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_022
7473TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_022In fact...there may even be traps. Which is why only *I* should attempt a crossing of the threshold.
7574TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_023
7675TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_023I mean, who knows what terrible guardians have been summoned to protect the temple?
7776TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_Q1_000_024Are you ready?
7877TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_030
7978TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_030Well, I guess now we know what terrible guardians were summoned to protect the temple! You'll also be happy to hear I was able to temporarily nullify the barrier, granting access into the chamber beyond. As there may be more traps, I ask that you wait out here to deal with them for me. Just kidding! I have already checked. There are no more traps. Probably.

8180TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_031Fortune is with us, Player! The scrolls were intact, the barrier having protected them from both the elements and thieves. It took some searching, but I believe I was able to locate several that touch upon the laying of geomantic bonds.
8281TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_032
8382TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_032At least I think I was able to... The script on these scrolls is old and faded, not to mention written in a hand far beyond my comprehension. Luckily, Master Murakumo is almost as ancient as the tomes, and should have little difficulty prising out their secrets.
8483TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHOU_000_033
8584TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_033A decanter or six of hot sake and he'll warm to the task. Ahah hah hah. I'll see you back at the Shiokaze Hostelry, Player. I'll even save you a cup!

8786TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_MURAKUMO_000_039Welcome back. The scrolls you and Kyokuho retrieved from Yanxia were not difficult to decipher. No, what has been difficult is deciding how to use this newfound information.

9796TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_044Wind, water, earth. Creation of the bonds calls for the energies of all three. Though this much even a first-year novice of geomancy could tell you. No, what gave us pause was the mention of a fourth energy─an energy to render the seal permanent...

105104TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_MURAKUMO_000_048I now understand why Grandmaster Kazan left no notes on the rites. He did not wish this knowledge to fall in the wrong hands.

107106TEXT_JOBAST680_02412_KYOKUHO_000_049And because he never performed the rites himself, the bonds anchoring the barrier around Kugane were never completed. And that is why they require constant attention. No blood was spilled to make them everlasting.
