Test of Sagittarius

Here,this is the Crescent Bow. The only way that this bow differs from other bows is that there is magic inside it to kill Commander Kadesh. Keep in mind that you can only shoot a wooden arrowwith this bow.

Please kill the Commander with the Crescent Bow. At the moment he is not so strong but as time goes by he will cause more and more damage. First of all you must go to Hamiland find out where Commander Kadesh is located.

Go ahead, now. The Ivory Tower wishes you victory.

So you are the servant of Hamil! I, Vokiyan fought against the medusas with Hamil! I owed my life to Hamil in the battle. Therefore I can't refuse the requests from him...

Recently there was another guy called Hunter Brankel who came and asked for my help. He taught me many things on the Breka Orcs. Afterwards, Brankel set off for the camp base of the Breka tribe.

This is the amulet that calls the totem spirits...! Can this mean that those Breka Orcs are trying to revive their totem spirit which died 500 years ago?!

Perhaps they thought that by hatching the giant serpent they would be able to recall their totem spirit. But after all, they are only being taken advantage by the heathens who are trying to hatch a devil! Foolish people!

I am sure that Brankel would have tried to stop the hatching of the egg. Can it be that the rune characters are his messages? Anyway, I don't know how to read the hunter's runes. But Hamil knows it well. Take it to him. I wish you luck, Warrior!

Please tell Hamil that I wish to see him again in the battlefields. I can't pay back my debts to him in this way.

Nice to meet you young Warrior. Did Bernard send you here? We were just in need of some help. I'm glad that you came.

Right now, in the southern part of the kingdom, something unusual is going on. Southern Entrance of Wastelands ants are making some movement and from the east, the Breka Orcs are... Moreover, they say that something weird is happening up in the Cruma Tower. The Dwarves are all whispering about it... That the 'thing' has awoken from underneath the tower...

I think that this is only a tip of the iceberg. I believe there is more to come, something even bigger.... Although that is the least thing I would hope for... If only we can find Brankel, we could have some more precise information...

He is the hunter who was sent ahead of me. A few weeks ago, he was reported missing.

When I arrived here Merchant Pano gave me the letter that Brankel had left for me. I could see that he knew of something dangerous before I came here. But he couldn't wait for me.

It said in the letter as follows: I am leaving for the Ant's Nest now. However, I might not be able to come back. But I will leave my traces for the next investigators...

I wish I could go and see Brankel right away, but it's more important for me to take care of the lizardmen who are threatening the village... Damn it...

So, I need you to go to the Ant's Nest in Southern Entrance of Wastelands and investigate the area. It would be best if you could find Brankel himself, but in case you can't, at least try to look for the traces he said he would leave in his letter. Southern Entrance of Wastelands guardian Aaron Tanford will be waiting for you in the southern entrance of

Set off for Southern Entrance of Wastelands, now! May the Saya of the winds guide your way

The Hunter's Runes are written on the pebbles...? This is the common secret code among Hunters Village. Will you place the pebbles that you have brought in order?

Hmm... It says...

Ant's Nest... deep... black serpent... egg..., dark, no, abyss...!? child of abyss...! Hmm, this is...! Yes, it says 'in the hands of the children of abyss'... To the Breka Orcs...

'The black serpent's egg'to the 'children of abyss'...? Southern Entrance of Wastelands used to be the place where the castle of evil beleth stood... That is why so many devils' a

Sagittarius Hamil

You heathens who believe in the Goddess of destruction. Or should I rather call you this way?... 'The children of Shilen'... Perhaps the mysterious incidents that happened one after another recently, has to do with them!

Hurry and go to Giran Castle Town! If what Brankel told us is true, the Breka Orcs must have the black egg delivered to them, so you'd better go and search that area. Is this all the Hunter's Rune that Brankel left? There might be more of them so search for them as well.

First, go to the Giran Castle Town and meet the Prefect Vokian. He has a debt to pay me, so I bet he will help you. An Orc Village's job must be done by an Orc Village. Please ask him about the Breka Orcs.

Breka Orcs! Those who deserve to be doomed! Filthy betrayers who degraded the dignity of Orcs! Did you say that the serpent's egg found in the devil's nest has been delivered to the Breka Orcs? Yes...I remember that the old totem of the Breka Orcs was 'a coiled serpent'...

According to Seer Manakia, the Breka Orcs are preparing a big ceremony right now... Perhaps the serpent's egg has something to do with the ceremony!

I want you to go there. Go and kill every single Chief and Shaman of the Breka Orcs that you confront, and find out everything that's going on there! In case you find something like a Serpent-Shaped Charm bring it back to me!

Mercy is a luxury for filthy betrayers! Specifically, the Chiefs and Sorcerers of Breka Orcs are those who lead the corruption! You'll be able to find some clues if you probe them! In case you find something like a snake-shaped amulet be sure to bring it back to me!

Sagittarius Hamil

I didn't even imagine that they would mobilize other savage tribes in their plan ... Those heathens seem to be more elaborate than I had thought.

Let me see what Brankel told you.

...too late. The Orc Village shamans have revived the serpent. ...the Commander has been awakened. I shall track it. The crescent will kill it. The Ivory Tower of Gauen...

Commander...? Commander Kadesh! I never thought I would hear his name again.... He is the devil who appears to be a serpent. One who spread blood and virulence in this land of south Town of Oren a long time ago... They say that those devils who don't belong to this land can only be killed by a special weapon. Among the special weapons, the one that can kill Kadesh is theCrescent Arrow. The crescent that Brankel mentioned is the Crescent Arrow. But that arrow...

Never mind, we'll think about that later. You should go to the Ivory Tower of Town of Orenand meet Magister Gauennow. As far as I know, he took over the responsibility of managing the Crescent Arrow...

Sagittarius Hamil

There is no other man who knows better than Magister Gauen of the

Sagittarius Hamil

Brankel was alive! Although I did meet him, he left for the south of Town of Oren saying that he will buy some time while Commander Kadesh recovers himself by eating the lizardmen. Shit!... I should have followed him!

That is... The Crescent Arrow! It is the first time I have seen it since 20 years ago! Hey, take that and follow Brankel. If you kill the

Sagittarius Hamil

As time goes by, the force of Commander Kadesh will become stronger. If you kill the leto liardmen which Kadesh feeds on, he will eventually turn up. Then kill him with the Crescent Arrow. Remember what Gauen said. You must kill him with that arrow.

I am Magister Gauen. Commander Kadesh, the Crescent Arrow... You have brought me some stories that I'll never miss. Commander Kadesh is the darest one even among the sons of Shilen. He gulps in everything, yet is always hungry. That is because he constantly grows up... This caused fear among the Gods, so they gave instructions to the Elves on how to kill Commander Kadesh.

That is the Crescent Arrow. This arrow was kept in the Ivory Tower since long ago, but because of an incident that happened 20 years ago it became useless. ...but if it is true what you are saying, I guess we do need the arrow...

I will restore the arrow. But it is not an easy task for sure. Most of the materials you'll be able to find in the Ivory Tower but some of the others you'll have to find it for yourself. Yes… The horns of Manasen, a reinforced bowstringmade of the the swamp spider's web, a Mithril ring which can be taken from the road scavenger and the chitin of the swamp stakato.

Sir Aaron Tanford

Nice to meet you, young Warrior. I am Aaron Tanford, the watchdog of Southern Entrance of Wastelands. My mission is to stop the brutes from breaking away from Southern Entrance of Wastelands and threatening the village people...

Sir Aaron Tanford

About 10 days from now... A couple of explorers entered Southern Entrance of Wastelands area claiming that they had come to excavate the antiquities of the empirical era. I felt there was something suspicious about them, but didn't stop them. A few days later, when Hunter Brankel came to see me, I realized that I had made a mistake. They were no mere explorers but a bunch of heathens.

As you know, this Southern Entrance of Wastelands area is where the castle of devil beleth used to lie in the past. I am sure that the heathens came to find the evil remains of beleth. Brankel went to the Ant's Nest of Southern Entrance of Wastelands saying that he had to find out what their real purpose is. Ever since then I haven't heard from him...

I am sorry but this is all I know.

Sir Aaron Tanford

I fear for Hunter Brankel, but what worries me most is what those heathen did with the remains of beleth... I can't leave this place, so I wish you could go to the Ant's Nest of Southern Entrance of Wastelands and make a clear investigation on what is going on there.

Sagittariuses are those who are called as the best bowmans of this kingdom. 100 years ago, when the gold dragon Windbior attacked Castle Town of Aden, a bowman by the name of Atlanta, shot an arrow right through the dragon's eye and was given his first title as a Sagittarius. At the moment there are just 33 Sagittariuses altogether.

If you want to be recognized as the best bowman, you may take theTest of the Sagittarius and prove your abilities. Many Hunters Village and bowman took the test this year as well, but they all failed. You must be better than good to pass the test... I heard that you had good skills but as I see it in the eyes of a Union President... You are still not good enough. Train a little more before you come back.

(Quest for Rogues, Elven Village Rangers and Assassins, level 39 and above.)

Hey you! Did you come here after you were well aware of what the Test of the Sagittarius is? It is only the bowman who can take the test. What good can it do, now that you are here with an arrow? You'll only make yourself a laughing stock...

(Quest for Rogues, Elven Village Rangers and Assassins, level 39 and above.)

Didn't I tell you? You should see Hamil of Floran Village, not me, if you wish to receive the Mark of the

Sagittarius Hamil

So you haven't been able to meet Brankel... He left in search for the heathens? He is a great man indeed. He was right. The rebirth of Commander Kadesh must not be their final goal...

Everything is apparent now with that amulet you brought. The seven eyes... This is the very mark which identifies the children of Shilen. I'd better report this to the hunter's union now. I will return this crescent's arrow to the Ivory Tower of Town of Oren

Thank you for your trouble. You have done much more than Brankel or me in this incident.... Something terrible could have happened if it weren't for you...

You are already a Sagittarius. Take this with you, this Mark of Sagittarius. Maybe there will come a day when you and I shall hunt together.
