Corundum Corruption Location: Soluna City -> Corundum Corruption: New Crossover Quest! Objective: You have stopped the corruption of the Vizalain, for now. That one pathway you missed couldn't cause too many issues...right? Requirements: None Release Date: September 26th, 2015 Enemies: [url=]Corrupted Vizalain[/url] NPCs: Dean Warlic [url=]Tich'ger'nel[/url] [url=]Hiztchered[/url] Mysterious Stranger Dialogue: <You>: Dean Warlic, you wanted to see me? Warlic: Yes, there's something I need you to do for me. Warlic: Have you ever heard of a race called the Vizalain's? <You>: No. Should I have? Warlic: Most haven't, their planet was destroyed by the Shadowscythe years ago. I wasn't sure if you had heard of them in your travels. Warlic: They are creatures that are grown, not born. They form a living crystaline "tree" known as a Corundum. Warlic: They are a peaceful species, but because they can use their bodies as weapons if they need to defend themselves and are naturally... Warlic: ...able to use a form of light energy as defense, the Shadowscythe eared what they might do if asked to join the war against them. Warlic: A few small groups managed to escape before the Shadowscythe sent their fleet to the Vizalain homeworld and shattered it into fragments. Warlic: With nowhere left to go, I answered their plea for help and showed them several caves here on Loreon where they could hide. Warlic: While they expressed a wish to help us when they can in our war against the Shadowscythe, they are too few in numbers to help right now. Warlic: I received a disturbing message from one of the groups earlier today. It seems they were visited by a strange cloaked figure. Warlic: After speaking to a few of the younger Vizalain's, the cloaked figure left. Soon after many members of the group fell ill. Warlic: They have evacuated those that were no exposed and placed guards around the Corundum, but I fear it may not be enough. Warlic: Those that are ill no longer respond to reason, and attack all that come near them. Warlic: The message also said that those that were attacked soon became infected themselves. Warlic: I think you understand the similarities to something we've dealt with before. <You>: The virus that infected Sys-Zero and Xaria. <You>: But that would mean... Warlic: That the Shadowscythe are involved again. Yes. Warlic: This is different than the virus from before. The Vizalain's are immune to viruses and diseases due to how they grow. Warlic: This is something new, and if it works on us like it does the Vizalain's... <You>: I understand. What do you want me to do? It took a lot to cure Sys-Zero and Xaria is still not fully recovered. Warlic: While it is a regrettable action, the Vizalain's believe the only way to purge the corruption is to... Warlic: ...shatter and cleanse the remains of the infected. <You>: They can't be serious. Warlic: They are, sadly. They know that unless this is stopped now it could cause issues for the entire planet, possibly the whole quadrant. Warlic: When you get there they will give you what you need. I know you will have issues with this but it's necessary. <You>: I'll head over to them now... *A quick shuttle flight later* <You>: Umm...hello? Warlic sent me. Tich'ger'nel: Yes. The Red Mage said you would be coming. Tich'ger'nel: We thank you for coming to assist us with this very unpleasant task. <You>: He told me what you wanted me to do to help. I can't say I like the idea of having to do this. Tich'ger'nel: Our people learned long ago that life and death is a cycle for us. Those that will lose their lives here will one day be reborn again. Tich'ger'nel: This Darkness that has taken hold will prevent them from returning to us, so it must be removed. <You>: As long as they'll one day return to life, removing this "Darkness" is more important. Tich'ger'nel: We have a powerful artifact from our home world that will aid you. Its other half was lost, but the power inside of it will remove the Darkness. <You>: If you have this weapon, why do you need me? Tich'ger'nel: We have sworn never to take the life of one of our own. We cannot do this and maintain who we are. <You>: I see. If you give me the weapon then I'll get started. *Equip the weapon and enter the cave* (After defeating Corrupted Vizalains:) <You>: Are you alright? Hiztchered: The Red Mage sent you? You are here to cleans the Darkness from the infected? <You>: Yes. I purged it from all those in the rooms before this one. Hiztchered: While the loss of my children is a weight I must now bear, I know they will one day grow again. Hiztchered: Thank you for saving us. <You>: How were you not changed along with them? Since you can't move and are the source of all the Vizalain's here... Hiztchered: While they were wild and dangerous when touched by the Darkness, they fought against it telling them to attack me. Hiztchered: One came into this room, but he fought the whispers in his mind and fled. You must have cleansed him outside. <You>: Wait, whispers? What do you mean? Hiztchered: Those that were touched by the Darkness and became sick said they started hearing whispers in their minds. Hiztchered: The whispers told them things, ordered them to do things they wouldn't normally do, and as the sickness grew they could not resist those orders. <You>: If this had gotten out...to the rest of Loreon... Hiztchered: That is why you had to cleanse them as you did. There could not be a risk to any of those on this planet. Hiztchered: You hold one of our artifacts. I will allow you to keep it if you promise to defend all from the Darkness. To save us if they try again. <You>: I will. Any enemy of the Shadowscythe, and one that would scare them so much that they would destroy your planet, will make a strong ally. Hiztchered: Thank you. Tell Tich'ger'nel that you may also take several of our shielding crystals. They will help you in your fights to come. *Return to Warlic!* Warlic: You've done well, <You>. Warlic: You saved all of Loreon from a dark fate today. <You>: I don't know for sure that I have. Warlic: What do you mean? <You>: What's to stop the Shadowscythe from trying this again? On us this time. <You>: If they do...if they corrupt innocents that won't just regrow later on... Warlic: We must make sure that doesn't happen. I'll order constant sensor sweeps and regular patrols around Loreon. Warlic: We'll make sure this doesn't happen again. <You>: I hope so... <You>: ...because if something happens it could mean the end of everything... *Oh no...* Stranger: <You> may have interfered with the test, but the results are very promising. Stranger: The ghosts aren't the only creatures that can be affected by Darkness. It seems even some non-organic life can be corrupted to suit my needs. Stranger: This requires further testing, but with all of the test subjects here and on the other planets showing similar results, this was a success. Stranger: I think it's time to move to the next test. I'll need one of these "e-blades" that I've heard of and on one of my brethren... Stranger: If all goes well, perhaps <You> should be one of the first to try out one of the new creations. Stranger: I think I'll call them... "Doom Weapons".
