40TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_000I began researching the Heart of Sabik almost immediately upon my return, but quickly ran out of leads to follow. So I've changed tack, and now am focusing my efforts on learning more about the relationship between Athena and the auracite she found.
51TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_001To that end, I intend to dive into the legends of Ivalice and any other extant stories wherein auracite makes an appearance. If you come across aught that could be of use to us, be it legends or even firsthand experiences, then I would be grateful if you shared them with us.
62TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_010With both the aetherial sea and the Heart of Sabik to keep my mind occupied, I feel that I shall never again lack for fascinating discoveries to motivate my work!
73TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_Q1_000_000What will you ask?
84TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_A1_000_001What do you know of Athena and her connection to auracite?
95TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_A1_000_002How goes your research?
106TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_A1_000_010Nothing.
117TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_100_050Ah, that topic has been keeping us quite busy as of late. Nemjiji and Ruissenaud have been a great help in making sense of all these fabulous tales─I shall call them at once so we can share our findings thus far.
128TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_050Our research into the Heart of Sabik has led us through many magnificent legends and tales from bygone civilizations, some of which mention─or at least hint at─the presences of Athena, auracite, and the High Seraph Ultima.
139TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_051While we have formed an operating theory based on our findings, it is impossible for us to confirm its feasibility. Given your experience with the High Seraph, however, I can think of no one better with whom to discuss it.
1410TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_NEMJIJI_000_052Although we know not the precise timing of the High Seraph's visit to this star, we do know that Athena somehow came into possession of a mysterious crystal said to be the source of the destructive magic known as Ultima.
1511TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_NEMJIJI_000_053According to Lahabrea, it was Athena who gave this crystal the name of “auracite,” and from her tireless research was born the Heart of Sabik.
1612TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_NEMJIJI_000_054The Heart of Sabik contained not only Athena's memories, but a concentration of aether unlike anything we have observed. Even a small portion of it could level mountains.
1713TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_055It did, in fact, level Castrum Meridianum not so long ago.
1814TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_056Records of your previous encounter with Lahabrea imply that the Heart was, for a time, in the hands of the Allagan Empire. Doubtless it was the Ascian himself who gifted it to them, thus sowing the seeds of calamity.
1915TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_057The Allagans made little progress toward penetrating its mysteries, but some scholars attribute the fact that they were able to use it at all to theoretical encounters between Allag's researchers and the High Seraph.
2016TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_058Regardless of its journey, however, we do know that the Heart of Sabik returned to Lahabrea's clutches soon after the Fourth Umbral Calamity. The rest hardly bears going over again.
2117TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_NEMJIJI_000_059Tracing the legends of auracite back to their source suggest that the High Seraph may be the cause of countless tragedies, including our most recent one.
2218TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_NEMJIJI_000_060Regardless of the auracite's source, however, it was Athena's bottomless ambition that set the wheels of tragedy in motion.
2319TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_RUISSENAUD_000_061...I found one of Lahabrea's remarks most odd. While we were discussing Athena, he said that he was a fool to think she could be confined. He didn't elaborate on the statement, but I think there's a possibility that Pandæmonium was built not as a prison for failed creations, but to contain his very own wife.
2420TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_062We already know he was well aware of the influence auracite had on Athena─'tis not beyond the realm of possibility that Pandæmonium's true purpose was to keep her isolated from the other ancients.
2521TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_063Even so, she had freedom enough to continue her research outside of Lahabrea's purview. Perhaps it was his love for her that kept him from tightening his grip on her activities.
2622TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_100Fortunately for my assistants and I, my ordeal has left me none the worse for wear. I am back at work with characteristic aplomb─well, as much aplomb as can be mustered when reviewing the many records which have piled up in my absence.
2723TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_101Of course, I have made the proper shows of gratitude to Scholarch Montichaigne and Master Fourchenault for their efforts to search for me.
2824TEXT_REGNOT5CLAUDIEN_00838_CLAUDIEN_000_102Master Fourchenault was stone-faced, claiming that he had only done his duty. The scholarch, on the other hand, seemed most eager to learn every detail. It takes all sorts, I suppose.
