What do you hand me? From Senator Aquila?

Ah. I see. Decimus is a trusted advisor and friend to me. Perhaps it is time to acquaint myself with you.

Missions

Missing a mission or two

Accept task to destroy shadow crystals

Briefing

As you may know, Romulus has allied with the Dark Ones, creatures from the very depths of Hades. They lurk in the shadows of the surrounding caves, harnessing the power of their shadow crystals. If we can destroy these crystals we can gain a tactical advantage in the war against Romulus.

Mission Acceptance

You must find these shadow crystals and destroy them, Character. I know now what foul manner of magic they contain, but I do know that they are the source of the Dark Ones' incredible power.

You have 60 minutes to complete this task.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Time is not on our side, Character. Not only do the Dark Ones use these crystals for power, but I believe that they have magical ability to move his men from one place to another!

Mission Objective(s)

The task is clear. Destroy the crystals.

• Destroy the shadow crystals - 60:00
  • 3 shadow crystals to destroy

You have successfully completed your task.

Agree to rescue young Sybils

You must return these women as quickly as possible, Hero. Find them and send them back to us before anything happens to them.

Livia Orestilla: Oh, thank you, Hero! I knew Imperious would save me!
Munatia Plancina: I am in your debt, Hero! Thank you very much for rescuing me!
Atia Fadilla: You have my deepest thanks, Hero!
There is no telling what Romulus' pigs would have done with us!

Debriefing

Thank you, Hero. You have done me a great service in returning these women.

Accept task to retrieve Eonus' remains

Briefing

Romulus has sent his men to enact a most heinous and treacherous act. In the night, his men broke into the sacred tomb of one of our townsfolk' ancestors and stole his remains! This act is so distasteful that I struggle even now to speak it aloud to you. You must return with those remains so that the family may set them to rest once more.

The Eonus family are most devastated by this act. The men see this act of desecration and their morale plummets. I worry that if this continues, the war will be lost before they even enter another battlefield.

You have 30 minutes to complete this task.

Remains of ancestors dead thousands of years once rested peacefully in this family cavern. No more.

• Retrieve stolen remains
  • 6 remains to retrieve
