|KU| KURSTA THE CHARIZARD - The Rubyflame Valkyrie ***COMPLETE***
Spoiler:

Backstory
Kursta is known among Utopia as a fierce warrior who uses her wit, skill and brute strength to conquer anything and everything that impedes her path. Her passionate attitude aides her in ploughing down any problem in her way, big or small. She prefers to attack aerially and from a distance, and favours spears. Without much to battle against, she serves as a trainer and a mentor to those wishing to follow in her path.

Valkyries are known for aiding those in battle who are wounded. However, her charms only work on a certain number of pokemon, so she is burdened with the tough decision of deciding who lives and who dies. She carries these decisions with her in her heart always, remembering who she had to leave on the battlefield. Her fierce demeanour can sometimes be intimidating, but also empowering.

Path of Kurasta - Finding the Rubyflame Valkyrie

Kursta can be found at the Windstone Housing Project locked inside a shed. She is unconscious from the dark plague which has incapacitated her. The only way a player can revive her is by feeding her [Divine Water] through her drinking horn once it has been fully assembled.

Path of the Irongold Drinking Horn

The players must find the [Irongold Drinking Horn 1of3], [Irongold Drinking Horn 2of3], [Irongold Drinking Horn 3of3], [Silver War Paint] and [Divine Water] to reassemble it. Once the three parts have been found, they magically reform the horn. It has markings engraved on it which look dull and lifeless; it becomes apparent to the players that they need to find some sort of paint to go over the markings. Once the silver war paint has been added, the horn is ready for use once again. The players will need to collect some ordinary water (which can either be collected from any water source or by a +Water Type+), and then Seinaru must be performed on it to turn it into [Divine Water]. Once completed, the players may now revive Kursta if they have found her. [Silver War Paint] is obtained by completing Shellia the Gorebyss' mission. It CANNOT be obtained with the Diplomacy perk, or through any other means.

Path of the Crusader Helmet

Kursta values her helmet, which represents her status as a Utopian Valkyrie. It gives her immense pride while protecting one of the most important parts of her body. Its draconian wings are a stark contrast to the other Valkyrie helmets in Utopia, which are mostly feathered and majestic. She her hers tailored for her to represent the fierceness that she utilises in battle.

The players must find the [Crusader Helmet Base], [Crusader Helmet Right Wing], [Crusader Left Wing], [Silver War Paint], and use <Repair> to restore it.

46. Skrux the Steelix
|KU| [Crusader Helmet Left Wing]

Skrux is enthralled by this mysterious wonder. He can tell that it's some kind of heavenly artifact, but he is unsure what it means, who it belongs to, and how to use it. He offers it to the players almost immediately. He is cooperative and simply amazed. He requests that when the artifact has been assembled, someone show it to him. If they do, he'll give them a consumable berry. XD

87. Shellia the Gorebyss (reward for Mission)
|KU| [Silver War Paint 3/3]



Path of Crusader Spear

The players must find the [Crusader Spearhead], [Crusader Spear Shaft], [Silver War Paint], and complete =Instructions Jigsaw= to fully assemble it.

7. Spimmley the Hippopotas
|KU| [Crusader Spearhead]

Spimmley will happily hand over the spearhead if the player does not have a negative rapport with her. If they do have a negative rapport, then Spimmley will assert that she needs "proof" that the spearhead is important to the player. This can be done by showing her the [Crusader Spear Shaft] or the =Instructions Jigsaw= (completed). Alternatively, the Diplomacy perk will allow for the item to be handed over without question.

Path of the Essence Charm

Kursta, being a Valkyrie, has some measure of power over who lives and who dies on the battlefield. She must live with the choices she makes, which may destroy her if she possessed a different personality. However, her strong resolve and trust for herself doesn't allow her to feel constant remorse or second guess herself when it comes to warriors she has allowed to move on to the next life. However, it isn't possible to accomplish this feat without the use of her Essence Charm, which blesses those who have fallen and enchants those who she revives with her Irongold Drinking Horn. It is vital to her role as a Utopian Valkyrie, and without it, she can not be who she was meant to be.

Players must assemble [Shattered Charm Half 1/2], [Shattered Charm half 2/2], and then assemble it by reciting the classic incantation chanted by Kursta to 'activate' her charm. This will require the players to find =Ancient Language Decryption Key= and =Ancient Language Incantation=. They must then decrypt the language by figuring out the key and transcribing the message. They must then grab both charm halves and recite the passage to restore the charm.


49. Shrig the Joltik

Shrig is happy to hand anything over. He claims that he loves puzzles and wanted to figure this one out, but it appears as if it's been torn and the actual message is still out there somewhere. IF the players already have the message in their inventory, Shrig asks if he can solve it. XD But then chooses not to and hands over the key. Shrig will hand over the puzzle regardless of rapport.

64. Jarck the Carbink
|KU| [Shattered Charm Half 2/2]

Jarck is obssessed with jewels and although this charm isn't necessarily a gemstone, it's still akin to jewellery and they want to hang onto it. Jarck will ONLY hand over this item if they are INTIMIDATED by a super-effective rapport effect, regardless of whether it's positive, neutral or negative. However, the exception to this is the Diplomacy perk! They will fork it over if someone uses it on them.

|KR| KRYSARI THE TSAREENA - The Emeraldsoul Sage - ***COMPLETE***
Spoiler:

Backstory

As a Utopian Sage, Krysari is often turned to for guidance, wisdom and peace of mind. She is an expert in meditation, believing that she can touch the spirits of those with whom she comes into contact. Her Rod of Light helps to soothe all those who are touched by its magnificent orb, which is said to contain peace itself. She wears a cloak at all times which is old and grey, and keeps her modest. Her role in Utopia has always been that of a pacifist, but she is highly valued and at the peak of her field. She is the oldest Sage in Utopia, and is even said to possess the ability to see into the future. She neither confirms nor denies any such claim.

Her words are few but meaningful. Her peaceful nature is contagious to some and aggravating to others. She has never given in to anger or hate, and prefers to clear her mind of emotion in general. She believes that her Jade Bangle helps to keep her grounded, for wearing it gives her strength by drawing it from every soul in Utopia. Her volume Wisdom of Ages is her most valued possession, and believes that its contents is both sacred and irreplaceable. Upon descending to Valdyne, she recognises the great risk of taking the volume with her, but also believes that it will never stray too far from her and is therefore not worried about its fate.

Path of Krysari - Finding the The Emeraldsoul Sage

Krysari can be located in the Macanan Textile Manufacturing building on the 18th floor (b). She is in a sealed off storage room which is accessible only by getting the [MTextile Storeroom Key] at 14a. Krysari will be found deep, deep in meditation as the poisonous shadowy aura simmers around her. She is severely hurt, and is alive only because she was able to slip into a comatose-like meditation which manages to slow down every process in her body to preserve what strength she has left. The players must use <First Aid> on her, and then she will awaken from her meditation.

#Tornado Bomb, Flying&Bug# (Deals 2 points of Health damage; one per type)
|KR| {Krysari the Tsareena: <First Aid>}




Path of Rod of Light

The Rod of Light serves as Krysari's peace-giver. It calms others just to look at it, which is part of her job as a Sage--to make others feel at peace and able to see past their emotions to embrace their inner selves. However, the [Light Orb] and [Bare Rod] have become separated, and both are needed to come together and

75. Giphlin the Xatu
|KR| [Light Orb]
Giphlin, a pokemon of high status, is not willing to hand over what she thinks is a valuable orb far surpassing anything she can find on the market. The ONLY reason she would be willing to fork it over is if <Diplomacy> is used on her.

(26e) The Skymark Building, Floors 41-50 (Flashbrand Marketing)
#Psychic Explosion, Psychic# (Deals 2 points of Health damage, 2 points of Sanity damage)
|KR| [Bare Rod #TRAPPED#: {Unsettling Resonance, Psychic: <Security>}] (Deals 1 point of Health damage and 1 point of Sanity damage if attempted use occurs without <Security> to remove)

{[Light Orb], [Bare Rod] (Untrapped): <Seinaru>}
|KR| [Rod of Light]



Path of Stonequarter Cloak

The Stonequarter Cloak is so named for its simple, drab, grey design. It is the shade of a typically boring stone, although Krysari does not see this as a negative. She is aware that her body is vibrant and colourful, but takes comfort in knowing that the cloak keeps her somewhat modest--that one's physical appearance does not total anything akin to internal enlightenment. It does, however, have an important insignia placed in the centre of the back piece, which symbolises the line of Jadestone Sages in Utopia. This became torn from the cloak when the agents of Abyss thwarted the Angels' plans.

Players will need to gather [Torn Cloak Half 1/2], [Torn Cloak Half 2/2], and [Sacred Thread]. Both cloak halves will form {Torn Cloak Halves: Sacred Thread} and they must use [Sacred Thread] to sew the two halves back together, and then all three items become [Plain Cloak]. They must then find [Dulled Insignia], =Mysterious Puzzle= which becomes the =Activation Maze= which activates the Insignia and makes it [Jadestone Insignia]. Both items will then become {Plain Cloak, Jade Insignia: +Grass Type+} so players must use +Grass Type+. It will then create the [Stonequarter Cloak].

12. Tamtor the Shuckle ♂
|KU| [Sacred Thread]

Tamtor is very careful with his words, and will attempt to convince the players to trade with him for the [Sacred Thread]. He will ask for 1 Cheri Berry, 1 Chesto Berry, 1 Rawst Berry. However, he will hand over the [Sacred Thread] for free if pressured by a pokemon who has a super-effective rapport, as he does his best to avoid conflict (for his own self interests). <Diplomacy> will not work on him, as he knows all the tricks of the silver tongue.

Path of Jade Bangle

Players will need to gather [Broken Jade Bangle], [Glimmer Crystal], [Shimmer Crystal], and mend it with <Repair>.

Path of Wisdom of Ages

Wisdom of Ages is the name of Krysari's sacred volume of compiled wisdom passed down from sages of previous generations. Within it are spells, incantations and an accumulation of knowledge gathered over years of experience and practiced arts. Krysari is almost never seen without it on her person.

Players will need to find the battered [Wisdom of Ages Front Cover], =Wisdom of Ages Page 1/2=, =Wisdom of Ages Page 2/2= (which becomes =Wisdom of Ages Excerpt= when both are found) and [Missing Depictions] in order to bind the book once more. It will then need to be bound with +Fairy Type+.

Spoiler:
MEDITATION

Meditation is self-resignation and recognition.

Emptying the mind of thoughts can be the first step to acquiring peace. Concentrating one’s mind on a single thought, or perhaps no thought at all, can be key to finding inner sanctity.

Meditation aids mental and spiritual development, contemplation, and relaxation. Focusing on a single idea, concept or thought allows for the mind to stretch until it becomes engulfed by the chosen notion and evolves into
clarity and tranquility.

Alternatively, there is no thought. There is only focus, but simultaneously no focus. There is nothing to fear, nothing to feel, and nothing on which to focus. Worry not about the past or future. There is only now.



The second page from Wisdom of Ages. It is page 2/2. Both pages form =Wisdom of Ages Excerpt=.
