        "complete": "As I recovered from the battle with Cerus in Nayos, Peitha's familiar voice rang in my head, calling me back to the Wizard's Tower. When I arrived, I found her and Isgarren discussing a recent spike in Kryptis activity—it was time for me to join her in that fight. Isgarren expressed some reservations about the Astral Ward delving deep into Nayos, but Peitha proposed that a small force would be preferable to acclimate the Kryptis to our presence. I'm still not certain of Peitha's ultimate goals, but taking down Eparch seems like a worthy enough cause.\n\nAs Peitha and Isgarren made a few last preparations, Frode pulled me aside to give me a chance to be reacquainted with an old friend. Zojja, having fully ascended into wizardhood, had lost most of her memory, as predicted. She...had hardly any idea who I was. Knowing she made this sacrifice willingly didn't make it any easier. We'd only just reconnected after all this time apart, and just a short time later I'd lost her again. I'm barely more than an acquaintance now. But this is what she wanted, and I need to support that choice.\n\nFor better or worse, I had little time to dwell on my friend—as Isgarren readied to open a portal, a rift tore into the courtyard, spilling Kryptis into the Wizard's Tower. Unable to seal it from the outside with the Heart of the Obscure, we were left with no choice but to jump through and attempt to seal it from the source—inside Nayos.\n\n***"

        "complete": "Between pained gasps, I once again found myself breathing the thick air of the demon realm. I had only seconds to wonder at the strangely beautiful surroundings—nothing like the horrors I'd seen fighting Cerus—before we plunged into battle. Zojja instructed me to collect the essence of the Kryptis we defeated, using it to enhance the power of the Heart of the Obscure and seal the rift.\n\n***"

        "active": "Explore Nayos with Peitha.",
        "complete": "Isgarren and Zojja rushed back through the closing rift to the Wizard's Tower while Peitha opened her own portal. She ushered me to yet another location deeper in Nayos, near a fledgling Astral Ward camp in an area shrouded by a kind of magical fog. Kept secret and safe by Peitha following their rescue, they still lived after all this time. We approached to find the camp under assault by Eparch's loyalist Kryptis. Leading the defense, Arina fought alongside a hardened crew of ward survivors, as well as Peitha's dedicated Kryptis ally, Ramses. We joined the effort and swept the camp clear of enemies.\n\nAfter our brief introduction when I was first pulled into Nayos by Cerus, I was relieved to find Arina alive—both for her sake and Frode's. It turns out that Arina and her ward had crawled out of that chaos before Cerus could sniff them out, and they'd worked together to survive and build out a small camp not far from what would turn out to be our next objective: Heitor's Gate. Peitha and Ramses had located Arina and her crew just days ago and called on me to begin the push forward.\n\nAlthough I've yet to paint a full picture of Peitha's motivations, her story continues to prove...earnest. Arina trusts her. Ramses would likely die for her. Whatever fight lies ahead, I think we might be on the right side."
