| ''Eido mentioned Variks would like to speak with you at the holoprojector. She hopes it's good news.''

| *'''Variks''': Variks sees… suspicion in the Slayer Baron. Can they trust Variks? Perhaps he still desires to be Kell of Kells, yes? After all, many died to make it so. It is true that Variks wanted power. Not for himself, but for all Eliksni. To build a new home, filled with peace. But Variks lied. To himself, and his people. He was misled by Darkness. And he lost the way of his House. And many terrors were born of his failure. Now Variks is humbled. He remembers, he is not a Kell. He is a Scribe. House Judgement is not the way of fighting or ruling. It is the way of keeping history. Promoting justice. Teaching hatchlings. So Variks will train Eido. And together, Scribes will undo… The many wrongs of Variks, the Loyal.

| The following dialogue is available from speaking with Mithrax in the Last City:
| |
|
| |
| *'''Mithrax''': I greet you in the Light, Slayer Baron. I grow restless in these quarters… Yet here I must remain. You have our faith, Guardian. Mine, and that of my daughter. I do not know Riis as Eramis does, or as my own mother did. I must concern myself with our new home. [growls] Liars. Liars and deceivers, all… The purest light. The darkest hour. The time is at hand, Guardian.

| ''After your holo call from Variks, Eido may have news for you regarding the development of her tonics.''

| ''Eido clasps two of her hands together, glad to see you, as you approach. "Your progress with tonics has been astounding, Slayer Baron." She hunches slightly.''
| |
|
| |
| ''"But Fikrul is still at large, and a shadow continues to loom over my father."''
| |
|
| |
| ''"Crow remains adamant about keeping Eramis confined. I'm worried he's hindering a key source of help for us… At least we have you on the field helping my people. You always manage to find a way out of the dark. House Light and the Vanguard scouts are on Fikrul's trail. I'll let you know when we've found something."''
| |
|
| |
| ''"Thank you for everything you've taken on for us, Guardian. I have more to ask. We can bolster my tonic research to create more potent mixtures to aid you if you'll help me with the fieldwork to gather resources and lab equipment I'll need."''
| |
|
| |
| ''"Eramis has also informed me that House Salvation is missing an Apothecary named Ixis in the wake of Fikrul's attacks. If you'll do me the favor of helping to search for her while you're out in the field, I'm sure she could expedite my research. I'll benefit you in this struggle against Fikrul and it may even help my father and his condition."''

| ''Eido would like us to complete some minor fieldwork so she can help us with tonic development.''

| *Obtain and complete two minor fieldwork tasks. For every two minor fieldwork tasks completed, you may choose a major fieldwork task to pursue. Visit Eido to browse available fieldwork. | | *Obtain and complete two minor fieldwork tasks. For every two minor fieldwork tasks completed, you may choose a major fieldwork task to pursue.

| ''Eido squints happily at you. "Your support is many-armed as always, Guardian! Every success out in the field opens up opportunities to create more tonics or find new lab equipment."''
| |
|
| |
| ''"House Light and Hunter Vanguard scouts are tracking Fikrul across the Sol System."''
| |
|
| |
| ''She looks at her feet.''
| |
|

| ''"We've been searching the region in every Eliksni enclave he attacks. I'll let you know when we find something. In the meantime, my people need you on the frontline against the Revenants."''

| *'''Eido''': Guardian, your battles against the Revenants to save Eliksni captives from a fate worse than death… It's like one of our old fables! I’ve learned so much about our lost homeworld lately. About how Ether flowed through all the plants and animals there. Not just the Eliksni. But for every drop I learn there's a whole tank-full that was forgotten. That's why it's so important we learn from the few survivors, like Variks… and Eramis. I know you and Eramiskel share animosity, as my father would say. But she’s more than a leader, or a fighter, or a criminal. She's a rare link to the secrets of Old Riis. I encourage you to put aside the past, and let Eramiskel help us. Or we risk making her the last of the Eliksni.

| *'''Eramis''': Tell me, Guardian: Is this a gratifying sight, or a frustrating one? You strike me as someone who appreciates finality. Not so your Hunter Vanguard, it seems. I am grateful for one thing: no Salvation Captains share my cell. This remains a private humiliation. Eido claims you will defend both our Houses against Fikrul's beasts. So, here it is, Slayer Baron: I know of another Salvation outpost. The Eliksni there cut communications shortly before my incarceration. If any yet live, it seems likely they too are under threat. I once believed anything would be preferable to accepting your assistance. I have Fikrul to thank for illuminating me. I hope to demonstrate my gratitude in person before the end.

|
| |
| ''Eramis wonders if it's gratifying for you to see her imprisoned.''
| |
|
| |
| ''She's glad she hasn't been imprisoned with Salvation captains, so her humiliation can remain private.''
| |
|
| |
| ''Eido has convinced her you're willing to defend Eramis's people against Fikrul, so she has the location of a hidden enclave for you to visit-and possibly protect.''
