Description

I confess, <name>. I had little hope when you first arrived.

Kleia is convinced that your presence here is a sign of things finally improving in Bastion. I was... skeptical.

<The Forgelite gestures to her forge.>

What you have done for me will not soon be forgotten. There is a path beyond the Crucible. To walk it, you must overcome a trial. It will be difficult. Such a thing takes eons for most.

You are not most.

Kleia and Pelagos will tell you more. They await you near the sparring grounds.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Work of One's HandsBastion · Level 10-51

    Too long have my hands been idle! <Forgelite Sophone smiles warmly at you.> You cannot know what this means to me, but I might be able to show you. For your aid in restoring my forge, please allow me to craft you a piece of armor.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Assessing Your StaminaBastion · Level 10-51

    The trial ahead will test you on many levels. I, like Kleia, wish to assess your willingness to endure. Look around you. All the aspirants here train for the very trial you are to attempt. Some have been here, honing their skills, for centuries. Ages. Some grow quickly, some do not.
