Story

"Perhaps this was a memory Kromede wanted to forget." Zebas has been handling everything alone since Kromede disappeared. A coded document he found in her office pointed to a hidden cave west of Muspel Volcano, where you found a Mirror of Echoes recreating sorrowful episodes from Kromede's past. Saddened by what he had seen, Zebas requested that the cave and what was witnessed there be kept a secret from everyone else.
