Finale: The Powers that Be

Briefing

With the location revealed to us, there is little else to do other than to go directly there. I've spoken with Mender Silos, who has requested to go along with us. I've had Mender Lazarus scan the time we are going to, however. He has found there are some... irregularities with it. Are you familiar with them, Character?

Large groups have been travelling into this ancient time of Cimerora... without the permission of Ouroboros. It is something we've become aware of and which Mender Lazarus is closely looking into. I bring this to your attention because we do not know if this time irregularities that we are seeing are around the Well, or are from those who are interfering with the past of Cimerora.

  • So we don't know who we might find near the Well?

Precisely. Silos and I will come in once the area is secured. We will send you first into the cave to analyze the situation.

I must warn you, anything could be down there, waiting to stop you and your attempt to become an Incarnate. When all is clear, that is when the choice will come down to you. You can either lose yourself to the Well and gain untold power, or train yourself, slowly, to control the power and maintain your own destiny.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I shall meet you there, Character, to see this occasion.

Mission Objective(s)

This cavern within Cimerora hums with great power.

  • Find the Well of the Furies
    • Defeat the Guardian of the Well
      • Proceed into the inner chamber
        • Look around for anything left over from the Well

You've recovered an Incarnate shard and have unlocked your potential as an Incarnate!

The Well has been moved...

Mender Silos: The Well is not here. It has been moved, by someone or something. Explain, Ramiel.
Mender Ramiel: This Well was but one of many links to the source of the Well of Furies itself...

Incarnates, godlike beings...

Mender Silos: Enough! It is not here, we must be on our way.
Mender Ramiel: I apologize, Character. It seems your journey to become an Incarnate shall be even longer than I thought...
Mender Ramiel: We must be off, see if you can find any traces left here of the Well. Whatever you find... it seems you will be taking the long path after all.

You've found something within the rubble!

A Shard and a Note
You find in the rubble a piece of paper wrapped around a shard. As you unwrap the paper and touch the shard, the artifact you obtained earlier evaporates into thin air. Moments later, you feel something inside of you change, as if the realm of your power has been broadened. Looking at the shard, you realize it must be a shard of the Well, and that your powers as an Incarnate have been unlocked. You notice the paper around the shard is actually... a letter. You read it over...

Character, I do not have much time to write. At this point in time, you are either well aware of myself and working with me, or you still have no idea who I am. The Well, as you see, is gone, and the agents of Ouroboros are aware of the other path into Cimerora. When I gave the crystal to the Midnighter's, I imagined this day would come, though that matter is for another time. You have in your hands now an Incarnate shard. It has no doubt opened your path into the powers of the Incarnate. This is one thing that both myself and the agents of Ouroboros share in common; the desire to see you maintain your freedom and grow in power.

I must go now, but before I do, I must deliver you a word of advice. You have no doubt heard the golden voice of the Well. Whatever you do, do not listen to it! It seeks only to control any that it can with the promise of power. Perhaps there is a way around it, but for now, its power must be used. Ironically, in all of this, Lord Recluse may be our greatest ally. He seeks a way to bypass the Well, while Statesman opts to try to stay out of the picture.

As always, seek me out in the crystal of fire and ice. Or... depending on when you are reading this, you may have merely seen me minutes ago.

Debriefing

I can tell you managed to find something, Character. A shard, perhaps? I suppose it's lucky for us that one still exists, enough to awaken the power of the Incarnate for you.

I believe this course is for the best, really. Would you have wanted to gain all that power right away and lose complete control of yourself? Regardless, you are on the path now to gaining the ultimate power of the Incarnate. I will help you with whatever I can from Ouroboros. Your journey towards realizing your true potential will take you many places, but I must stay here to aid the Menders with other matters.

I do know much about the subject of Incarnates, should you have any questions. You can ask me about them whenever you wish.
