## Summary

This round stone over there emitting light, is the source of energy in these ruins.
But the light is faint now because the stone is losing its power.
These artifacts actually seal away dark energy. Once sealed,
it discharges a level of light equal to the dark energy contained inside it.
Adventurer, have you been able to control the dark energy within you?
Be warned that in these lands, dark energies like yours can become corrupt in an instant.
In order to rid Mediah of the darkness spread by Illezra,
we must find a way to trap it, just as these artifacts have done.
Find the Dwarf known as Ain Greid at the Ancient Fissure.
He is a guardian entrusted with protecting the Dwarves' Bautt Slate.
I've heard that the Bautt Slate possesses a great power,
and can absorb dark energy just like these artifacts.
If we can find a way to unlock its potential,
we may even be able to seal away the Black Spirit that lives within you.
What's that? The value of the ruins and the Prince's asylum? Didn't think you'd be interested...
Very well. Once my investigation is over, I'll look into it and speak with them.
