Description
I know how you feel... and what you have endured for the sake of your world. You now know of my own triumphs and tragedies as well. Our bond will grow stronger over time. But for now, let us see what it has granted us. Ardenweald has needs of us. We must do everything in our power to save it.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Boon of Binding
<Flutterby clasps her hands before her and assumes an air of tranquility.> Soulbinding is not an irrevocable act. However, such a bond must be carefully considered before it is made. You and your soulbind will know each other's hearts and minds.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Conduit for Growth
While our bond is powerful in and of itself, you can also enhance it through the use of conduits. Conduits channel the anima between soulbinds in many different ways, increasing both of our potential in the process. They allow us to attune ourselves to each other's unique strengths.
