<Page social="0">To unlock Balder's Temple, you and {@Creature:71#1114$$Rida} undertook several trials set forth by {@Creature:230#1007$$Lashinuk}, a very old baraka. Then you and {@Creature:71#1114$$Rida} broke one of Seren's seals around the temple with some help from {@Creature:230#1015$$Elsine}.</Page>

<Page social="1">It's time now for you to meet one of the Consos, the baraka clan who guard {@Rgn:30001#Balder's Refuge}.<BR><BR>We believe they've been here since the fall of the giants' empire—or longer. A few, like their leader Nandu, were living here when Lok and Thulsa killed Balder.<BR><BR>The Consos's help is indispensable, and you'll need their permission.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"How do I get it?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON></Page>

<Page social="1">It seems the gods specified several ritual trials for those seeking to enter the temple.<BR><BR>{@LinkCreature:230#1007$$Lashinuk} will meet you at Camp Sunlight. He'll administer your first trial.</Page>

<Page social="1">You're <PCNAME>? It is an honor to meet you! Elsine gave me some scrolls of your exploits.<BR><BR>This is so exciting! My friends will be jealous that I was the first to speak to you.<BR><BR>I don't get out much. You're the first war hero I've met.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"You have a test for me?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON></Page>
|

<Page social="1">Ah! Yes, of course.<BR><BR>Ahem... "You, who seek the Sun, must first prove your strength against a champion of brass."<BR><BR>There's a {@LinkCreature:30#2004#brass warden} nearby. It's a deadly thing, but I'm sure you can beat it easily! Bring one of its gears, and then I can reveal the next trial.</Page>

<Page social="1">Hurrah! It's one thing to practice the lines for a ritual, but another thing to see it unfold!<BR><BR>Sometime I'll show you the book where I learned the ritual, written by the god Balder himself on pages of brass before he died.<BR><BR>Now for your next trial.<BR><BR>"Once the earth proves its strength, let air show its wisdom."<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Air? You mean Rida?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON></Page>
|

<Page social="1">Yes, the princess! This trial is hers.<BR><BR>Seren helped Balder hide and protect the temple from those who would abuse its power. Seren called Rida here, knowing an elin wouldn't be tricked into opening the temple for the wrong person.<BR><BR>{@LinkCreature:230#1081$$Rida} must find and figure out the next part of the puzzle. You're allowed to help her...and she may need help.</Page>

<Page social="1">So it's my turn, is it? Well, I know where to go—I've seen this place in my visions.<BR><BR>I was holding Seren's sword and it pulled me here.

|

<Page social="1">Hmm. It's probably a two-sided seal. I'll have to work the inside while you open the outside. But where's the seal?<BR><BR>Wait. Something's different.<BR><BR>That reflecting pool wasn't in my vision.</Page>

<Page social="1">Another step in the ritual is complete. We've dreamed of this day!<BR><BR>Princess Rida's very gifted.

Not here, though—in the archives. <NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Archives?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON></Page>

<Page social="1">The archives are repositories of wisdom that hold special tablets, each of which contains vast stores of knowledge.<BR><BR>The tablet you need is in pieces, hidden in Balder's Pavilion.<BR><BR>Find the parts and {@LinkCreature:230#1015$$Elsine} will assemble it for you. Good luck, hero of earth!</Page>

<Page social="1">The control scrolls for the repository. It won't run without them.<BR><BR>I can’t believe this! The satchel's been gnawed open by those wretched sloths!

<Page social="1">Forgive a scholar's curiosity. I'll scan forward.<BR><BR>Balder and the Consos built the temple, Seren laid her seals on it...here. This must be it. "The Path of Purification."
