A Strike Against the Darkness

Oh, thank Tensess! Here's someone who'll listen! There's nothing more depressing than a failure to act! While we Elves tried to work out what caused the darkness to appear, while we concocted elaborate theories and pretended to be intelligent, the spawn of the darkness took our beautiful allod from us!

We cannot sit around doing nothing while mutants roam our lands! They must all be destroyed immediately! Help me in this noble quest. You'll find mutant cobras near our settlement, mutant rats at Lamia Lake, and mutant spiders in Spider Thicket. Show them no mercy!

Some call me mad, but I swear I know more than any of these Elves! The spawns of darkness must be destroyed!

I'm glad you're on my side. My cousin Romain wants to study the mutants while another cousin, Alphonse, is busy studying lamias. But why would anyone waste their time with lamias? If I could convince them to side with me, we could get rid of the darkness once and for all...
