Description

I have seen firsthand that you are a most capable soul.

Kleia has told me of your purpose here. She has spoken of the hopes she places in you. I am not yet certain if I am ready to do the same.

There is one small task that I would set before you, however. My forge has grown cold without anima to keep it burning bright. I long to practice my craft again.

My helper, whom you have met before, can elaborate on our needs.

You will find Sika near the forge. I will follow shortly.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

A Life of ServiceBastion · Level 10-51
Curious. You are unlike any aspirant that has come before, that much is certain. You will notice that we have an audience. It has been a long time indeed since we welcomed another to the path. We are all eager to see what deeds brought you to us.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Cycle of Anima: EtherwyrmsBastion · Level 10-51
Forge is cold, yes? Need LOTS of anima to light. <Sika references her scroll.> Times before now, anima is everywhere, yes? Now it hides. Small bits, weird places. We know that etherwyrms -- flappy scale-things that are blue -- eat anima.
