40TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_000_000I am afraid the crystal focus has fallen dormant.
51TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_000_001It will take time, but I am confident its reserves of energy can be replenished.
62TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_000_002You will be the first to know when the crystal focus is ready.
73TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_000_003If there is nothing else, I will leave you to your duties.
84TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_005It would seem their operation has finally begun. Stay safe, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. The Resistance needs you.
95TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_006I won't keep you any longer. Or, was there something you wished to discuss?
106TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_010I realize there is little I can offer the Resistance beyond the realm of research and study, but I do have some skill in the healing arts. I pray it will be enough to be of help to their medics.
117TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_011Is there something you wished to discuss? If not, I would go and see what help is needed in the infirmary.
128TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_015Misija always seemed so kind, and caring. Why did it have to come to this?
139TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_016I would like to believe the Empire has deceived her somehow but... I know it's not that simple. We have to stop her, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
1410TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_017...Did you wish to talk? If not, I wish to be alone with my thoughts, if only for a short while.
1511TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_020When Misija first wielded Save the Queen at the castrum, I was convinced she had summoned a primal. But now I am not so sure...
1612TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_021...Ah, forgive me. Is there aught you wished to discuss?
1713TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_025A moment, please. I need to collect my thoughts before I elaborate further.
1814TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_030If my suspicions are correct, then Misija is likely after... No, no that couldn't be it... Or could it...?
1915TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_040Save the Queen is possessed of a terrible power, and under normal circumstances I would not hesitate to recommend destroying such a relic. Considering its profound significance to the people of Bozja, however, we have decided instead to find a way to seal its powers.
2016TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_041I will be consulting the Studium in the hopes of expediting our search for a suitable ward. Once we are certain of its safety, it will be returned here that it may continue to serve as a symbol of hope for the people.
2117TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_000_042But that is a matter for another time. Is there something else you wished to discuss?
2218TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_Q30_000_000What will you say?
2319TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_A30_000_000Tell me about the seers.
2420TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_A30_000_001Tell me about the crystal focus.
2521TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_A30_000_002Tell me about memory exploration.
2622TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_A30_000_003Tell me about your gift.
2723TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_A30_100_003Tell me about Save the Queen.
2824TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_A30_101_003Tell me about tempering.
2925TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_A30_000_004Tell me about yourself.
3026TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_A30_000_0010Nothing.
3127TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_200Scant though they are, the records we have uncovered thus far suggest the practices of seers date back as far as the Fourth Astral Era.
3228TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_201The region was plagued with all manner of natural disasters in those days, inciting great unrest not only amongst the Bozjans, but neighboring nations as well.
3329TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_202It was during these tumultuous times seers first appeared. In fact, I have reason to believe they possessed the Echo.
3430TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_203Using a crystal focus, they were able to delve into the minds of the downcast and the heartsick, seeking out their darkest memories and altering them to ease the peoples' burdens.
3531TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_204Perhaps they saw the altering of minds as a necessity for their survival, but we must consider the ethical implications of such methods in this day and age. I have no doubt my betters in Sharlayan would consider it to be reprehensible.
3632TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_300My initial analysis of the crystals suggests they are man-made. Nothing in my data can prove the materials are unique to this region, which leads me to believe the Bozjans─or rather, the seers─created them.
3733TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_301However, given the intricate lattices found in these crystals, it seems highly improbable that the Bozjans could have produced them, considering the methods available to them in the Fourth Astral Era.
3834TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_302In fact, on closer inspection, it became clear that its structure is quite similar to that found in Allagan constructs.
3935TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_303Which then begs the question: who were the seers, and whence did they come? This is but a working theory, but I suspect their roots can be traced back to the Allagans themselves─perhaps survivors of the Fourth Umbral Calamity who wished to atone for the sins of their forebears.
4036TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_304They came to these lands seeking a means to help the Bozjans, and in doing so created these crystal foci.
4137TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_305...Ahem. As I said, 'tis but a working theory. Though I understand if it sounds more like a flight of fancy.
4238TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_400Perhaps I should start with a simple explanation, as I did before. Let us consider the composition of a person's aether, shall we? There is corporeal aether of the flesh, incorporeal aether of the soul, and the aetherial residue of an individual's memories.
4339TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_401Were one to be possessed of only corporeal aether, they would be but a walking corpse. Conversely, entities comprised of only incorporeal aether are referred to in layman's terms as ghosts. Of course, a ghost that possesses residual memories could likely recall its past and retain self-awareness.
4440TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_402Using a crystal focus, we can isolate the aetherial signature of memories, much in the same way the seers did. We can then delve into and explore specific memories conjured by the subject.
4541TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_403We must be careful of what we observe, however, for while the information stored in a person's memories can be quite comprehensive, it is not always true to fact. They can be distorted due to the passage of time, or even when first committed to the mind as a result of personal bias.
4642TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_404That is why it is important to mark the distinction between explicit and implicit memories.
4743TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_405Explicit memories are those consciously stored and recalled, while implicit memories are more passively accumulated by our subconscious.
4844TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_406When meeting someone for the first time, their appearance will be kept as part of our explicit memory, though this may fade with the passing of time. Should a great deal of time pass without meeting, however, such recollection can prove difficult.
4945TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_407Yet in that moment, your mind also takes record of everything experienced by your sensory nervous system.
5046TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_408Unfortunately, information called from explicit memory is quite sensitive to misrepresentations of events. After all, if an individual is actively choosing to recall an event, who is to say they will not make alterations to better suit their liking?
5147TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_409That is why we seek information from implicit memory, which is more likely to be preserved free of the bias of an individual's worldview.
5248TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_500The Echo can manifest itself in myriad ways dependent on the individual. I was gifted with the ability to peer into the future.
5349TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_501It is a power much like prophetic dreams and divinations, and yet quite different, for such visions only tell of the future's potential.
5450TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_502The Echo does not show me what may happen, but what <Emphasis>will</Emphasis> happen.
5551TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_503Scholars speculate Mezaya Thousand Eyes too shared this gift, hence the alarming accuracy of the passages writ in her <Emphasis>Divine Chronicles</Emphasis>.
5652TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_504These visions are a decidedly rare occurrence, usually containing some crucial insight into matters presently unfolding before me. For better or worse, I have never had visions of an impending threat on my life or those around me.
5753TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_505Not that I would want to see such things, of course. Could you imagine, knowing of certain doom that cannot be avoided?
5854TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_506I once spoke of my visions to an acquaintance─a relatively harmless glimpse of the future─and it resulted in a terrible argument. I fear I could not bear the weight of grimmer tidings...
5955TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_507But that is neither here nor there. My gift is but a trivial thing. Nothing you should think to rely upon.
6056TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_520Legend has it that, when the Fourth Umbral Calamity threatened to destroy all of Bozja, Queen Gunnhildr used the power of her holy blade, Save the Queen, to save her people.
6157TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_521Misija called it a primal summoning, claiming the queen was able to control its power much like Lady Ysayle harnessed the power of Shiva.
6258TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_522The apparition we saw in the memory assumed the form of what I presume was Queen Gunnhildr, the entity Misija summoned adopting the same appearance.
6359TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_523As to why it would take such a form, I believe it is linked to the nature of Queen Gunnhildr's death at the hands of her guard.
6460TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_524This is but a theory, mind you, but if the residual aether of her memories was absorbed by the blade, it stands to reason Save the Queen could gain some semblance of sentience.
6561TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_525Curious that Misija was somehow able to control it. I can only assume this was made possible through our shared use of the crystal focus.
6662TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_526But theories will do little to help us defeat this new threat. A great deal more research must be done if we are to understand and overcome the IVth Legion's schemes.
6763TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_530A feat that seems increasingly implausible the more I consider it. Hmmm...
6864TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_535A pity it was destroyed, though I suppose it is for the best. We are ill-suited to using it as the seers of eld did, and now the spirit of Queen Gunnhildr can never again be manipulated for nefarious ends.
6965TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_536Even so, as long as Save the Queen exists, there remains the risk of its power being abused.
7066TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_537But I wonder... Do you suppose the aether which comprised the queen's memories still reside in the blade? Without the crystal focus, perhaps we will never know.
7167TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_540I believe the term was coined after confrontations with the primal Ifrit. The creature would bombard its enemies with a veritable deluge of aether, rendering them mindless slaves.
7268TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_541Though perhaps it would be more accurate to say their will is supplanted by that of the primal. They will act instinctively according to its whims and desires, no matter how depraved or immoral.
7369TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_542Unfortunately, we have yet to discover a method to reverse the effects of tempering. Even the greatest minds of Sharlayan are at a loss.
7470TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_543Which means there is presently no way to save Gunnhildr's Blades...
7571TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_544It is strange to think Queen Gunnhildr is once again protected by her guard, but make no mistake: so long as Misija wields Save the Queen they will do whatever it takes to try and stop us.
7672TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_301_542The effect was believed to be irreversible, but the Scions are said to have discovered a cure. I imagine it will not be long before the method of treatment is shared with the Resistance.
7773TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_545Thankfully we are gifted with the Echo, otherwise the queen would likely bid us join the ranks of the afflicted.
7874TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_546But you are no stranger to battle with primals. I have faith you will find a way to defeat her.
7975TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_550We can only hope the treatment for tempering reaches us before those affected are irreparably altered. Of course, there is also the matter of seeing to their capture.
8076TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_551If Bajsaljen should ask for my counsel on the matter, I am honestly at a loss as to what to say. If my negligence should cost more lives in apprehending Gunnhildr's Blades and the other afflicted... It pains me to even imagine it.
8177TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_600About me!? Oh, there really isn't much to tell, I assure you!
8278TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_601Well, if you must know... Due to advanced placement I found myself attending the Studium much earlier than most. My research in the field of aetherology would eventually earn me the title of Archon. When I am not conducting research in the field, I conduct lectures at the Studium.
8379TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_602Moenbryda is, er...was...my mentor. I would not be the scholar I am today if not for her. I have fond memories of the many nights we toiled together working on her original plans for the aetheric siphon. She was like a sister to me.
8480TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_603Speaking of which, I do have a sister, actually. An identical twin, in fact. Though we have not spoken since she too was named an Archon.
8581TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_604She was my better in all aspects of academia, but she often disagreed with the views of the Forum. I can but assume that is why she took her leave of the Studium.
8682TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_605She was always so strong-willed and quite critical of those around her. Sadly, we never got along very well growing up. I often wonder if that is why Moenbryda was so quick to take me under her wing.
8783TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_606I still see her, in my dreams. Always offering a warm smile and words of encouragement.
8884TEXT_REGOTH4MYCMIKOTO_00659_MIKOTO_300_607If we were to use the crystal focus, perhaps there would be a way to speak with her again. A tempting prospect, but in the end, I know it would not truly be her...
