You can call me Justin Augustine. I'm a, well, a mystic of sorts. Working with the UN expedition. [[General Hammond]]'s asked me to investigate some of the stranger things out here, and I think I may have found about the strangest. Floating out in the center of this area may be the key to understanding this whole place, but if I'm gonna figure it out, I'm gonna need help.


All right, Task Force Thoth, it's time to get on with what this is all about.  Far out in the center of this region is a place called [[The Chantry|the Chantry]].  It's supposed to hold all kinds of vast and ancient secrets, including a powerful being the natives only refer to as '[[Faathim the Kind|The Kind One]]'.  Now, a title like that can mean a lot of things in folklore, like trying to placate something monstrous.  I think the key to understanding a lot of this place is going to be understanding the truth behind Chantry and what's inside it.  And for that, I need your help.


=== {{UL|Battle Rularuu in Path of Tears}} ===
Alright, before I send you deep into the islands around here, first order of business is to secure this position some. I've manage to keep the [[Soldiers of Rularuu|Rularuu]] from finding me here, but they're going to notice you lot coming and going. So, Iwant you to lower their numbers around the Path of Tears. Take out about 50 or so, that should put a dent in them.


General Hammond asked that I give you lot a code-name while you're working with me on this. He wants it to help keep track, but there's a whole other reason. Naming a thing, like a fellowship of heros, is a powerful kind of magic. There's a lot aligned against us, so if we're going to succeed here, we'll need every advantage we can get. I'm going to give your group the title Task Force Thoth, and let's hope that the powers that be are smiling on us.

Time to do some investigation. Task Force Thoth, I'll need you lot to go to one of the island groups in here.  It's called the Bastion of Pain, and it's the closest cluster of islands to where we are now.  There's a monument there I'd like you to take a good look at, and get me some close-up photos.

This one's a two parter.  First, you'll need to fight the [[Soldiers of Rularuu|Rularuu]] around the Bastion of Pain.  Once you're fought enough to keep them from interfering, go tot he monument and record it for me.  I think I'll be able to translate it.  That might tell us something about what's really going on here.

I can give you a rough translation of this one, but we're gonna need to see more. Roughly, it would go:

And the Rularuu beset him in unending siege,
And [[Faathim the Kind]] knew only anguish,

The first monument you looked at on the Bastion of Pain seemed to be telling part of a story. The others may have more of it. I'd like you to travel to the Bastion of Denial, clear out some of the [[Soldiers of Rularuu|Rularuu]], and take a look at the monument there. It may have more of this story, or at least help what we have to make sense.

Now, a title like that can mean a lot of things in folklore, like trying to placate something monstrous. I think the key to understanding a lot of this place is going to be understanding the truth behind Chantry and what's inside it. And for that, I need your help.
