An Unconcealable Evil

Druid [113378|Cartier] will lend you a portion of the power of nature, which will allow you to briefly record the thoughts of the [102170|Zurhidon Captain] in the [205757|Mood Crystal].

I've learned that... the [ZONE_DGN_THE_ORIGIN|Origin] is always guarded by the barrier. The Source of Life's bravest and most loyal protectors are [102307|Holy Tree Falynum] and the four Ent Elders who keep a watch out for brazen intruders.

But the fact of the matter is... the Holy Tree is mad with rage and as a result, the Ent Elders and other Ents are running amok, the Fires of Life that sustained the barrier have been extinguished and the power of nature in the [ZONE_DGN_THE_ORIGIN|Origin] is weakened and contaminated...

We have already discovered the enemy's identity in the materials provided by the Eye of Wisdom. Those mask-wearing hoodlums are members of the Zurhidon organization. They try to plunder and control the power of nature wherever they can, all over Candara.

The Source of Life protected by the Holy Tree is a focal point of nature's power. The enemy's goal is beyond doubt. We are at a disadvantage because we don't know what methods they're using to gain the upper hand... One defeat was enough. We shouldn't launch a counterattack until we know exactly what's going on.

Important clues are contained inside the heads of the intruders. They might not want to divulge them, but thoughts can never be completely concealed.

In a moment I'll lend you a portion of the power of nature. Go and find the [102170|Zurhidon Captain] and while you're "chatting" with them, record their thoughts in the [205757|Mood Crystal], then bring them back here to me.

Sure enough, their objective is the Source of Life.

Other things worth noting...

[102349|Life Leecher]... newest, improved fiend... absorbs nature's power...

[102295|Razor Lurker] torments that eyesore, the old tree?

It's worse than we thought.

Find a way to contact the [102170|Zurhidon Captain], record their thoughts in the [205757|Mood Crystal] and bring them back here to me.
