#peacemaker gabl

Step back everyone! We’re not waiting for the linguist. Our readings show that this is the generator that powers the forcefield. Time for some tough love.

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’m afraid that the state of Rata Novus left me in a state of despair for quite some time. I couldn’t see my purpose anymore.

Am I some grand hero, out to safe the world? There are countless others who are far better suited for it.

Am I a peacemaker then, keeping Rata Sum safe? My political failings have left me at the bottom of the barrow there too, with no hope of regaining status.

And then it hit me. I am asura! We value science and knowledge above all else, and I am in a city filled with such. Granted, it may be a bit spread out, most of it destroyed in fact... But this is still an asuran city! Our people would never let everything be destroyed again after our flight from the underground. There should still be valuable research here, and I’m going to make it my goal to find it.

It may not be as exciting as dopey peacemaker running around the jungle, but it is my purpose. I hope my family and friends will understand that I simply must stay here, and I hope that you people will enjoy this part of the story as much as the other parts.

I’m sorry chak-thing, but you are in my way. My information tells me that the tunnel you are guarding will lead me to Rata Novus. Time to die.

This definitely looks asuran! I wonder if it still works? Time for that later, moving on!

Wauw...just wauw...

This is it! This tunnel will lead me to the lost Rata! I’m so excited!

I’m in! Let’s not get lost for a change, shall we? Grand!

I needed some time to recuperate after fighting all those chak, so I stayed with the hylek for a few days. The stories they tell about Rata Novus are not very promising. I believe they called it a “dark pit of despair”. I sincerely hope they are overreacting.

I can finally resume my search for Rata Novus. I’m looking for some friendly locals to tell me more about them. As per usual I am lost. This whole mess of a jungle could use some asura road-planning.

Yikes, more of those creatures! I best not linger. I’ve been told that they are called chak and that they are attracted to ley lines. You know, those nodes of magical energy. I haven’t seen them do anything specifically magical though. I wonder what they use it for?

We’ve managed to slay the beast, but I have a sneaking suspicion...
