Champion of Mana
Hey, we need to get set up at the Temple first! Head over to /TerminaTemple and look for me there.

After completing the 'Loaded Resume' quest:
Champion of Mana
We've all got jobs to do. Maya took her research and went to the Inn. Captain Rhubarb's going to be here on his ship in case of emergency. And when I know I'm not about to get sea sick all over your shoes, we'll take a tour of Ashray to find the other Champions. The village doesn't look very big. It shouldn't take long, and then we'll start digging into what the Voice in the Sea could be.

After completing the 'Washed Ink' quest:
Champion of Mana
Dr. Mostyma, who is a perfectly real doctor with real credentials *rolls eyes*, has the biggest lead we have on the trapped elves, the Champions, and what Vic's up to. He's made of red flags, but if you're sure you can handle working with this guy, I'll back you up. Do you happen to know him from somewhere? What's up with him forgetting to blink and breathe? I guess he forgot the nuances of being alive.
After completing the 'Faces in the Foam' quest:
Champion of Mana
You saw me shoot lightning, right? How cool was I? Sure I'm sweating, but it isn't because I'm tired. That Seafoam Elemental could attack the psyche. Dr. Song gave me a sweet to help me calm down. She's from that Astravia place you talked about, right? Argh, I wasn't experienced enough to go help you there. I should have paid more attention to the tutors. I'll work harder. I need to work harder.
Illusions
Good thing you smacked that foamy monster before it got you with its psyche attack. Ugh, but they hit me. It felt like someone was reaching into my brain and tugging out chunks. Then, the actual illusion was so real that I forgot how impossible it was. Luckily, I'm used to this sort of thing from the Mask of Infamy's bullying. We'll have to be on guard if there's more of that in this Base.
Family
Victoria didn't say a word about Sea Base Undine. I know it looks bad. She had this huge research facility in the ocean when she knew we were hunting for the Voice in the Sea. What if she was worried that such an important place would be discovered by Evil? The nobles could have been mad about Vic using gold to fund the base instead of feeding them fancy dinners. There are lots of reasons!
Communication
As soon as we boarded the cute ducky, I shot a message over to Warlic with the communication spell he taught me. We can have a better talk once we find a private room. I hope that going this deep underwater won't make it harder to reach him and Lady Celestia. If we tell them about what the Base is all about, they'll have leads to investigate while they're in Swordhaven.
Champion of Mana
Some serious stuff is about to go down, but before that, a couple of faces want to meet you in /worldscore.

After completing the 'Rippling Heartbeat' quest:
Champion of Mana
Malgor escaped after he saved you from the Mask of Infamy. Now he's going to find Einsof to finish what he started when he first turned his attention to the Mana Core. At the bottom of this slope is Einsof's 'cradle,' where they'll sleep forever. The Masks never let me go this far because Einsof needed to be kept dormant. When we nab Malgor, I want to check out what they are hiding.

After completing the 'In The Eye' quest:
Champion of Mana
Einsof is fading! Malgor is trying to kill Einsof and destroy Lore by using the Queen of Monster's Heart and his Shadowflame! You need to stop him! I'll do everything I can to keep Einsof alive. The fate of the world is in your hands…but so is your own fate. This is a personal fight for you, and I know you'll win! Death is inevitable, but it's never the answer.

- Mana Cradle Merge
After completing the 'Cognitive Dissonance' quest:
Champion of Mana
Einsof woke up because they felt Malgor's anguish and despair. For a while, Einsof's thoughts were frustrated because they were trapped. Those feelings turned into empathy for Malgor. They gave him their pure mana, and he's taken on a form he would have grown into if you had raised him to be a demigod - The Mainyu. All I can do is stand back. You can defeat him, and convince him that you can live on.

After completing the 'Your Hero' quest:
Champion of Mana
You sent Malgor back in time to stabilize our timeline, and wiped out all of Shadowflame's influence in the process. That's what I call a clean sweep! Mostly…the Mana Crisis did a number on Lore, and you'll be setting out to focus on your duties as the Eternal Dragon of Time to make up for it. Remember to be easy on yourself. That's why I'll be going with you. To remind you of that every once and a while.
Talk
Now there's the future to think about. Let's chat a little, and then I need the biggest nap.
Alliance
Brentan and I renounced our claims to the Throne. He's going on a journey to understand his subjects better. This won't stop his supporters from making a fuss, but hopefully Victoria can handle it. Gravelyn's hurting from her fight with Infamy, so she's going to keep a low profile while the Shadowscythe recovers. I know we might have to fight in the future, but for now, I want to spend time with my family.
Chaos
Drakath was sent back to Lore with the rest of us, but took off pretty quickly. Good. I can't stand him. It's too bad we sort of owe him for keeping The Law from hurting you. He lost his wings and is about as injured as Gravelyn was from the fight. He probably went back to his home base to recover. If we're lucky, he'll be out for a while. If we have the worst luck, that jerk's going to stroll up and ask you for help.
Old World Order
The Voice Deep in the Sea, The Rumbling of Cold Thunder, and the Flame of the Beyond. The Old World Order is setting you on these unknown threats like you're their attack dog. We should be careful…they're keeping Einsof trapped because they assume he'd be a threat if he was free. They could treat us the same for any reason they come up with…I don't want them to get away with this.

After completing the 'See You on the Other Side' quest:
Champion of Mana
Neso, the Avatar of Water, is freaking out! She tried to dissolve Kathool with deep sea pressure, and absorb his powers! You stopped her from completely absorbing that squid, but half a plate of Kathoolamari transformed her. She's gone crazy enough to leave the Plane of Water and step into Lore. It's up to you to duel her and make her go back home! Don't worry about us! We'll support you by keeping her Elementals off of the shore!
Talk
You've made it all the way down to the bottom of the ocean. It all led up to this: confronting the real Voice in the Sea.
Neso
This whole time I expected the Voice in the Sea to be Kathool, but it was actually Neso. Back in the Twilight Zone, Terrane told us about how the other Avatars caught her lie about not having a Champion. That, on top of Neso's followers abandoning her, and discovering the death of the Water Elves… she framed herself as the victim in all of this, and resorted to absorbing Kathool's power to escape the consequences.
Kathool
Kathool was being dissolved and eaten alive by Neso's ocean. She wanted to take Kathool's powers for herself, and would've succeeded if you didn't…recognize Kathool as the God of the Depths. You've turned Neso's actions into a clear overstep of jurisdiction, meaning she'll be harmed like the Champions were in the Time Stream. But Kathool's a wild card, even if its existence now directly relies on yours. I really hope you'll be okay after this.
Sparagmos
Sparagmos was originally known as the Drowning Machine- a weapon created by the Water Elves to destroy monsters on par with the Avatars. It uses souls as fuel, and nearly wiped out Dage and Song. We're standing right on top of it. This thing has been absorbing a dead colossal shadow entity, took a big sip from the Ruler of the Underworld, and might have snacked on some Chaos. I wonder if that's enough to fire a shot…

I didn't like Neso, and she deserves what she got. The Old Worlds Order butted in when you were going to settle it peacefully! Neso has been Silenced, forced back to the Plane of Water, and reduced to the same state as Kyanos. Why did the Old Worlds Order only decide to silence her now? Did they need a reason and proof to justify silencing her? Well, I guess they got it. Now we can return to Termina Temple in safety.

After completing the 'Your Hero' quest:
Champion of Mana
Welcome back! That meeting with Varga was a rough way to cut the red ribbon on the Temple's second grand opening. Thankfully, Warlic was there in case things got hairy. The Good and Evil Factions had some of their members declare neutrality so they could help us track down the three threats. Before we can do any work, we need to help them get set up first.
Talk
Let me give you a run down of the Temple and what we're planning.
Temple
The weirdos in the Lightguard made this Temple without Vic's permission. They even used my mother's reputation to get people to work for them! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad a Shadow invaded. It led to you discovering what was happening behind our backs. Now, we can use the Temple as a base and a place to rest! How about we change its name? Does Termina Temple sound cool?
Threats
The Voice in the Sea, The Rumbling of Cold Thunder, and The Flame of the Beyond. They're the slumbering threats we need to investigate. Warlic, Lady Celestia, and the Scholars are tapping into their connections and researching what these things really are. Then, they'll leave it to us to make contact. We should make our choices carefully, and understand why the Old Worlds' Order wants them eliminated.
Secret
You and I gotta be careful about who gets to know what we are. It's on a need to know basis. Warlic, Lady Celestia, my sister, Brentan, and Gravelyn know. I hate that Drakath knows but there's nothing we can do about that. Outside of them, I'm treating everyone like they have no idea. For our safety, it should stay that way.

Members of the Good and Evil Factions were asked to declare complete neutrality to help us keep Lore from going caput. Together, we'll take care of those threats…and study the Old Words' Order on the down low.

Champion of Mana…Sort Of
I'm so happy to see you and Gravelyn! Wish Drakath wasn't here but with what we're up against, we'll need his dumb, chunky, grapejuice armor. The voices you heard; they're the ones that dragged all of you into the Core. They want to keep Lore safe and that's why they grabbed Malgor. At the same time, they got some issues going on. When we go talk to them, be careful. They're going to look for a reason to hurt you.
Champion
I'm the Champion of Mana, and that's why the infernals tore me to ribbons - To look for a way to use my dormant powers. Oof, sorry, didn't mean to make you picture that. I'm mostly fine now. After my previous body died, the pieces melted, flowed into the leylines, and solidified in the Mana Core - otherwise known as the Plane of Mana. I've been figuring out my powers on my own, which makes the guys watching us uneasy.
Plane of Mana
Champions are chosen by an Elemental Plane. I had no idea Mana was a child element. And I've been told, over and over and over, that it shouldn't be an element. "Power doesn't just disappear." When several timelines were combined into one new world, all of their mana and unfulfilled fates were super compressed into Lore's Core. It began to behave like an Elemental Plane. One messy, faulty, and dangerous Plane.
Mana Avatar
I learned a lot on my own while trapped here. Like how after the first eight Avatars came into existence, the overabundance of mana and power gave rise to younger child elements and Avatars. Einsof, the Mana Avatar, was supposed to be one of them, but I was told that they're volatile and unpredictable. That's why I'm an 'aberration', and why Einsof is forced to stay dormant. The old deities won't let Einsof wake up, or let me go.

Gravelyn is taking on Infamy and Drakath is fighting with The Law. That leaves Tranquility. She wants to test us. Relinquishing your powers or making you 'calm' doesn't sound like it involves you getting out of here alive. I won't let that happen! What's the point of gods that don't do anything or exist to make our lives harder? I at least want a creator that understands me. And more importantly, can be my friend. We'll beat them together!

They're frozen, kept from being born by the Old World Order. Tranquility said it's because Einsof would have control of Lore's overflowing mana. That's too much power…and Malgor's making a beeline for them. We need to find him!
