40TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_SEQ_00This strange man is staring at you intently─perhaps <Emphasis>too</Emphasis> intently.
51TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_SEQ_01It seems that Zeycihan, a professor of archaeology at the Studium, has recently discovered ancient ruins in Shaaloani. Unfortunately for him and his hired team of mercenaries, however, the fiends en route proved too great an obstacle to overcome, and thus the desperate scholar has come to plead─or rather, demand─your help in exploring the ruins instead. Being the charitable soul that you are, you agree to aid his cause, and make ready to meet him in the Pyariyoanaan Plain.
62TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_SEQ_02What Zeycihan neglected to mention is that in order to reach the ruins, one must first brave a valley teeming with prickly sabotenders. He goes on to explain that, while he believes the ruins to be Yok Huy in origin, he discovered archaeological motifs unrecognizable even to him. All of which is to say, you must be prepared to face anything─including a thousand thousand needles pointed in your direction. ※Tender Valley can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
73TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_SEQ_03The ruins lying in the valley's deepest depths have been explored, and the once dormant serpentine creature within has been defeated. Zeycihan will wish to hear of your findings.
84TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_SEQ_04Zeycihan listens intently as you relay to him your discoveries within the ancient ruins, and is most excited to hear that you found architecture belonging to a different civilization than the Yok Huy within. He is inspired to impart to you his theory regarding the similarities between civilizations of the Source and the reflections, and as one who has traversed across the rift between worlds, he wishes to borrow your expertise for one last inquiry in Worlar's Echo, where he intends to speak with a chronicler of the Yok Huy.
95TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_SEQ_05As the champion who brought Valigarmanda low, the temple chronicler is happy to share with you a story of the great serpent. Thus does he invite you to view the murals in the Indelible Path.
106TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_SEQ_06Both you and Zeycihan listen carefully as the temple chronicler weaves for you a tale regarding the ancient Yok Huy who once forged north to Xak Tural, where they discovered the ancient ruins and the great serpent dormant within. Alas, they were struck by a great plague which spread like wildfire among their people, and despite their supplications to the slumbering serpent, the vast majority were ultimately forced to withdraw from the area to survive. Believed by the Yok Huy to govern the boundary between worlds, Zeycihan theorizes that it is no coincidence the great serpent awoke when you, an individual capable of crossing the rift, arrived. For now, the archaeologist intends to use the day's discoveries to further establish his life's work, <Emphasis>A Theory: The Eerie Resemblance of the Reflections' Civilizations</Emphasis>. As for whether you were truly blessed by the great serpent which dwelled within the ruins─only time will tell...

5248TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_001<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, at last! You've no idea how long I waited here, hoping we might finally meet. There is a matter of utmost importance I simply must have your assistance with!
5349TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_002Ah, but introductions are in order. I am Zeycihan, professor of archaeology at the Studium. At the behest of the former Head of Reason, I was invited to oversee various archaeological expeditions throughout Tural.
5450TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_003I heard from a little bird in Vollok Shoonsa that you, a most renowned adventurer, had made your way to the continent, and could think of no better individual to aid me in uncovering its history.
5551TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_004As a matter of fact, I have already made a most fascinating discovery in the wilds of Xak Tural!
5652TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_005I chartered a balloon to examine a point of interest in Shaaloani, you see, and soon discovered ruins which have been unseen for nigh a millennium! “Surely, Lady Luck is on my side,” I thought. But alas, things soon took a turn for the worse...
5753TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_006In the spirit of inquiry, I hired a group of mercenaries for protection and made my first foray into the area, but we were no more than halfway through before a host of fierce fiends barred our approach. Truth be told, 'tis a miracle we even made it out alive.
5854TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_007Yet for a seasoned explorer like you, I daresay delving into the deepest recesses of such ruins unharmed would be child's play. What do you say? Would you aid my investigation, and embark on this new adventure?
5955TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_008I knew you wouldn't disappoint! The ruins lie beyond the river north of Lake Toari in Shaaloani. Let us continue our conversation there!
6056TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_010Wonderful, you're here! History lost to the ages lies in the valley just upstream...
6157TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_011'Tis a landscape unlike any other, teeming with sabotenders of all shapes and sizes. I call it... Tender Valley!
6258TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_012Doubtless the ruins have remained untouched for all these years due to its barbed environs. After all, none would wish to become the victim of their thousand thousand needles!
6359TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_013Though I believed the ruins nested deep within the valley to be Yok Huy in origin, a closer inspection revealed motifs even I could not recognize. There's a new discovery waiting to be found within, I'm sure of it!
6460TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_014Alas, the defense mechanisms protecting it were far too much for the mercenaries I hired. You would be wise not to underestimate them yourself.
6561TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_015Ah, lest I forget, you should know that I dropped some of my notes concerning the expedition during my escape. If you would know of my findings, I encourage you to search for the records during your exploration.
6662TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_016I shall await your return here. I entrust to you the honor of discovering the unknowns which lie within!
6763TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_017Though it pains me to remain here, I would only be a hindrance. Once the site is safe for exploration, I shall resume my research.
6864TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_030You are returned, and with nary a needle to be seen! I experienced them firsthand myself─the pain was simply indescribable. That said, once it subsided, I was surprised to find that the lower back pain which had ailed me for years had completely vanished!
6965TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_031Now, tell me of your expedition. I wish to hear <Emphasis>everything</Emphasis>! What did you see? What was hidden deep within those ruins?
7066TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_032I see... How truly remarkable! To think that the structures of a separate civilization lie in the depths of the Yok Huy ruins, and at their deepest point, a great serpentine creature awaited!
7167TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_033This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a significant discovery regarding Xak Tural's history. Tell me, what thoughts have you concerning the valley's depths?
7268TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_Q1_000_000What will you say?
7369TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_A1_000_001I daresay the ruins predate the Yok Huy.
7470TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_A1_000_002It reminded me of the ancient Ronkan ruins I saw in another world.
7571TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_A1_000_003Seemed special...I guess?
7672TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_A1_000_004I've no doubt there were many gospels that foretold of the great serpent's majesty.
7773TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_035Yes, just as I predicted! Compared to other Yok Huy ruins, the magicked mechanisms you mention are quite astonishing... I am all but certain they based the technology on that of an earlier civilization.
7874TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_036Bwah!? Truly? Such a claim is invaluable testimony!
7975TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_037Clearly the sheer grandeur of seeing these ancient ruins has left you in a daze. To put you in such a state bespeaks its occult nature... I'm more and more convinced this is a groundbreaking discovery!
8076TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_038You know of the legendary inscriptions said to be writ by an illustrious Yok Huy of eld!? I am most impressed. I've yet to fully decipher them, but my, if the creature described in chapter fifty-six, verse three is in fact the great serpent, this is a most intriguing discovery indeed!
8177TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_039Based on your descriptions, it is likely that the ancient Yok Huy simultaneously feared <Emphasis>and</Emphasis> revered this serpent of unfathomable power, and after encountering it, constructed the temple to conceal it from the world.
8278TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_040This may be the final element which proves my life's work, <Emphasis>A Theory: The Eerie Resemblance of the Reflections' Civilizations</Emphasis>!
8379TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_041In my capacity as a professor of the Studium, I've taken the liberty of reading the Scions' report concerning the Source, its reflections, and the civilizations therein for myself.
8480TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_042Their findings indicate that the sundering diminished mankind's intelligence to that of beasts. The flourishing civilization of the ancients was forgotten, and the peoples of each reflection set out on separate paths, forging disparate civilizations of their own...
8581TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_00_043Yet can we say that these civilizations worlds apart are truly so different? If we all came from one shared, ancient heritage, would it not be natural that the development of each society and culture bear similarities to one another?
8682TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_044What I am trying to say, is that it is entirely possible a society which predates the Yok Huy and bears similarities to ancient Ronka once existed in the Source!
8783TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_045Naturally, it is necessary to conduct further research regarding <Emphasis>how</Emphasis> twin civilizations born in two separate worlds developed under entirely different environments. Nevertheless, your discovery today has provided further proof of the plausibility of my theory!
8884TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_046On that subject, I would ask you to join me on another adventure─one markedly less fraught with danger. As one who has traversed beyond the rift to the First, your knowledge and insight concerning ancient Ronka are invaluable.
8985TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_047I would journey to Worlar's Echo and speak with a chronicler of the Yok Huy, that I may learn of their legends─who knows, we may just discover some striking parallels to the culture of ancient Ronka!
9086TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_049Master Zeycihan has told me of his request. I hope that I am able to be of some help.
9187TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_050I am pleased to see you made it, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I came by alpaca, and for a blessing, felt no pain in my lower back the entire ride. Perhaps the medicinal applications of sabotender needles is a field deserving of further study.
9288TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_051Ahem. A subject for another time, perhaps. The personage before us is the selfsame individual who informed me that Yok Huy ruins may exist in Shaaloani.
9389TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_100_051They looked after me when I came here previously to conduct fieldwork, and are an extraordinarily erudite individual, well-versed in ancient legends.
9490TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_052Tell me, my friend. Based on what I've shared with you, were you able to find any commonalities between the legends of your people and the ruins we discovered in Xak Tural?
9591TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_053Excluding those concerning disease, precious few stories of our ancestors who traversed north have been passed down.
9692TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_054But, for the valiant warrior who brought the Skyruin low, I would share with you a story regarding the great serpent─one we normally would not disclose to outsiders. Please, follow me to the Indelible Passage. The murals shall explain all.
9793TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_060So these are the murals which depict the legends of the Yok Huy! When I was previously here for research, I was not allowed in this far!
9894TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_100_061A legend concerning the great serpent is hidden within this mural. Pray gaze upon it carefully, as I weave for you an ancient tale...
9995TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_061Long, long ago, a sect of our ancestors forged north. There, deep within a valley, they discovered the remains of an ancient temple.
10096TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_062Its inhabitants had long perished, and the purpose for which the structure existed was itself an enigma. Yet when our forebears finally delved into its furthest recesses, they discovered a great serpent deep in slumber.
10197TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_063It should be noted, our people revere serpents as divine creatures who govern the boundary between worlds. To behold one of such immense power, dormant there within the ruins, they believed it best to build a temple around its chambers, and offer prayers for its divine protection.
10298TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_064Yet in the ensuing years, our people were plagued by disease. Time and again our ancestors offered supplications for divine assistance, but no matter how fervent their prayers, the great serpent never deigned to answer them.
10399TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_065In the end, a great many of our forebears withdrew from the northern lands. Only the most devout worshipers of the great serpent remained, but they too would eventually withdraw in a somber procession, having buried too many brothers and sisters.
104100TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_066The sect who remained prayed for the great serpent's awakening─they prayed for a salvation that would never come...
105101TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_067Yet why should it awaken now? And what incited its aggression? Was it simply by chance that it roused in so foul a mood, or is there perhaps some underlying reason we've yet to uncover?
106102TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_068The devout who held vigil of the temple held this belief: “When the great serpent doth awaken, its coil shall envelop the world.” In other words, the creature's discovery was itself a pretext to legitimize their territorial expansion north.
107103TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_069Yet their prayers fell on deaf ears. Only now, before our benefactor, has the great serpent finally awoken. A peculiar, but altogether fascinating turn of events.
108104TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_080If the being you encountered truly was divine, mayhap it is you who shall receive its blessings.
109105TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_070If we consider that our friend here, a traveler capable of crossing the rift 'twixt worlds, was blessed by a being who governs that boundary, would that not fit the interpretation held by the sect who remained?
110106TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_071At any rate, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s testimony and the legends of the Yok Huy shall go a long way in verifying my theory.
111107TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_072If I can gather sufficient evidence that these two civilizations worlds apart share fundamental values, and prove my thesis, our outlook on history shall be irrevocably changed! Mayhap even an entire new field of study shall be pioneered!
112108TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_074Does the inception of civilization and its infancy bear similarities in each reflection? Was there some localized connection between them, such as a planar fissure? Or perhaps there was some all-powerful “Keeper of Whispers” peering through the veil.
113109TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_075Just thinking about what it is that connects us across the rift gets my heart racing!
114110TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_073Hah, I certainly have my work cut out for me. And now that you've made the ruins safe, I may resume my expedition and─perhaps more importantly─continue writing my thesis!
115111TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_082Master chronicler, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I cannot thank either of you enough for your cooperation this day. I know not where my research will take me, but I have no doubt my pursuit of the mysterious and miraculous will see us cross paths again!
