Halt, Dwarf. That's far enough! What do you think you are doing out here…oh, my, you're a Human! A real-life Human! I never thought I would have the chance to meet one of these! What a glorious day indeed!
I am Geopetal, the Spirit of the Mountain and the protector of the Heartstone Forge. I must obey Lord Vath in fear of what he might do to the forge if I rebelled - but like all here, I seek a means of stopping him.
| I'm here to stop Vath, too. |
Shh…keep your voice down! Lord Vath has eyes and ears everywhere. Just beyond this locked door, hundreds of Dwarven Slaves are crafting Chaos Weapons! I'm not supposed to let any Dwarves pass, but Vath never mentioned anything about Humans. Hmm…
I would let you in… but unfortunately, my key to Upper City was taken from me. I remember what it looks like, though. If you were to get me the materials required for such an elaborate key, I suppose I could try to make you a copy. What do you say…deal?
Please, You must hurry, Human! I miss my dwarven friends, and as long as Vath is here, he is a threat to the Heartstone Forge. If you want that key made for you, I suggest you hurry up before Vath and his minions find you!

You brought me a block of talc, but didn't take the key to the Door. Bring me another block so that I can make you a new key.

I was afraid this was going to happen. Lord Vath REALLY doesn't want anyone getting in. The only one who MIGHT have a key lives deep in these mines… but he is an absolute monster.His name is Amadeus, and he resides in the deepest part of the mines. Only seek him out if you honestly believe you can overthrow Lord Vath!

I am glad to see that you are still alive, Human! But tell me… what are you doing standing around here for? Don't you have work to do? Use the key to unlock the gates to the Upper City… I'm sure this one will work.

A blue gemerald, huh? I suppose I can part with one of the precious stones for Rolith and Alina. We have been friends for a very long time. Tell Cysero to be careful with this. Blue Gemeralds do not grow on trees. They grow underground.
- Thanks!

What you're seeing on Mount Albedo is happening on Citrinitas and Rubedo, too. Concentrate on Albedo's Forge first. The Luminary Coalition and Lady Song's retinue are holding their own for now. I'll bring them news of your success on Maleno through my gold and ruby vessels. Warn them about the Forge's Guardian? You got it! I always thought there was something off-kilter about them. What does a name like
"Admin B" even mean?
Aiwass
The being known as Aiwass resided on Mount Albedo long before I learned of their existence. They can even communicate telepathically…sort of? Maybe that's a bad way to explain it. I can't tell exactly what they're thinking or saying, but I can understand how they feel when our minds connect. It's like an empathetic link that you need to interpret on your own. For a moment, I felt a spike of panic, but they calmed down. It's helping everyone relax.
Citrinitas
The Lightguard took control of Mount Citrinitas by force, and the Luminary Coalition is attempting peaceful negotiations. I've informed both parties that Albedo came under attack, and that there's a chance an intruder wreathed in gold flames will target them next. The situation is quickly escalating, and the Lightguard is getting more aggressive. Sigrid isn't there, otherwise we'd be able to convince her to listen.
Rubedo
Lady Song and her party are making their way through the forest of Warwick, and I received word that they've already encountered an intruder wreathed in red. They're racing to get to Forge Rubedo to seal the flames, and know you'll be too occupied with the other mountains. They requested aid from Queen Victoria, who responded immediately. It won't just be her knights coming. A man named Elius has agreed to join them.

Long time no see! Remember me? I'm Geopetal, a mountain spirit and the protector of Heartstone Forge. Even if you've forgotten, I'll always remember the first human I've ever seen. My, how things have changed! Now I get flowers and crafts from humans, Dwarves, and Drow every day. They invited me here to watch over their miners and smiths. It's a great honor. I've only ever heard of the Yew Mountain Chain from afar, and now I'm its most welcoming face. There's another guardian that's…funny? You'll know when you meet him.
Magnum Opus
Four Mountains make up the Yew Chain - Maleno, Albedo, Citrinitas, and Rubedo. At their peaks are forges, lit by miraculous flames. If you were to temper a weapon at each of the Magnum Opus Forges, you would create a legend! The order matters, and blacksmiths have come from all over to make the journey. What are you interested in? A sword that could cleave the dark? A wand that turns iron into gold? Imagination's the limit!
Miracle
Long ago, a being of flame descended from the stars, burning hotter than the sun. It sought to destroy all of Lore, and went hunting for its rivals. The First Champion of Fire stood in its way, defending Lady Fiamme with his life. Their fight set the sky ablaze until they crashed into the Yew Mountain Chain, where they died together. The last of their flames lit the Magnum Opus Forges.
Presence
If you're wondering, you can still find me where we originally met. This is actually my second body. It's a wonder of magic! The Dwarves sculpted this statue of obsidian in my image so I would be able to possess and claim it on my own. Now, I can be in multiple places at once. You'll run into me again if you head to Albedo, Citrinitas, and Rubedo. I've been loving the views! This is the first time I've seen the sky!

Welcome to Mounta Rubedo. I'm glad you were able to get here safely. The Yew Mountain Chain is being evacuated as forces from all over Greenguard have gathered around the smoke. The eternal blaze that is the Forest of Warwick is starting to spread. I'm doing everything I can to help coordinate the effort to contain the flames. If you need me to send a message to the other mountains, let me know.
Maleno
The Luminary Coalition just arrived in Thelima City with all of the people they rescued from Fort Luma. They seem to be having difficulty organizing a full evacuation. Many of Thelima's residents are reluctant to abandon their homes after working so hard to find peace and security. Hm? You're asking if Maya's went with them? I haven't seen her, but I'll keep looking.
Albedo
Sanctuary Aiwass has been completely evacuated, but I worry for Svala, Snowbeard, and Isiri. They returned assuring me that they'll get to safety after they find out what happened to Aiwass. As for Forge Albedo, I hear roars echoing from its halls. Dark storm clouds gathered above the mountain's peak, and are bombarding it with lightning strikes. Just what is happening?
Citrinitas
I wasn't able to speak to you in Fort Luma, but I noticed strange seismic activity coming from Forge Citrinitas while you were fighting the Lightguard. Emissary Astero fled into the Forge after his encounter with Tara and those Shadows. My Citrinitas vessel was shattered, so it's difficult for me to see further than that. Is there anyone we can send to the Forge? Sigrid is still in there. I don't want to assume the worst…
