I gotta get back to work, see ya.

Finally back here. I didn't think our Headquarters would be doing so well.

Here's a present for everyone!

I'll go get some rest!

There's an <color=#d8d769>Olden Keystone</color> up ahead blocking our way forward, and our Arts don't seem to do much to it. Seems like we'll need to destroy it with rapid attacks.

Danger! Do not enter mines without permission.

Caution:

1. Do not enter unfamiliar areas without supervision.

2. Be mindful of patterns in vein structure.

Welcome to Sand Island, (illegible)

Neither arrow nor sword shall leave their marks, only the prints of wind and rain.

Shaft closed due to lack of lighting. Contact a miner if equipment is available.

Warning: Large beasts have been spotted in this area!

Welcome to the <color=#d8d769>Arsalan Base Camp</color>. Contact Eunectes if you need any assistance.

We provide temporary accommodation on your journey.

A difficult challenge lies ahead. Be ready.

Finally, we've reached the 'promised land' of legend.

Considering the unusual nature of our core operations, we have to set aside a blank plot outside the camp. In addition to housing guests...

Everything from procuring supplies, upgrading equipment and inventory management is carried out here. Feel free to find me any time you have a need.

Since Zumama has chosen to run the camp's everyday operations here, I'll take charge of exploration and resource gathering.

The trailer has been repaired and can now navigate rougher terrain. I can set out first thing tomorrow morning, if we have the fuel.

We've lost too much time and we're running out of supplies.

I scouted the Rabum-Arakeeshtu jungles to the west of the camp. It appears there are a lot of resources there.

We'll go further in this trip and try to find the supplies that we need.

Take this map. You'll need it to find wood that fits our requirements.

It wasn't easy to get. Don't lose it.

(You obtained the map of the Arsalan woods. You can now gather wood.)

Hello! I didn't expect to see other travelers in these jungles.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm a humble employee of Sunvalley Industries, here to advertise our products.

Take a look! The quality is good, the price reasonable, and after-sales service impeccable!

We go wherever our customers need us, no matter how remote.

Oh, I think I can get myself out. Do you know if there's a place around here where I can get some rest?

You scratch my back, I scratch yours. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Just a friendly tip that there's a quarry nearby where you can find stone. You could try your luck there.

Rhodes Island, at last. It was worth the wait... all the weeks of waiting...

I warned you! You don't know who you're messing with!

You'll pay for your insult to the Lord Ameer. Our armies will trample your settlement into the dirt.

You will become our slaves and work our quarries.

The quarries...

We have to stop them before they force any more people over there.

Look what I found in the stuff they left behind. A bounty notice for an archaeologist.

The soldiers dug up every scrap of earth looking for the treasure.

Treasure... that might be the key to driving away the ameeri armies. We should find this archaeologist, if we can.

Good news, they also left a quarrying map. We can start mining stone now.

(You obtained the map of Arsalan stone deposits. You can now gather stone.)

Looks like the elder was right. The ameeri troops are here in this jungle, and they've taken over the quarry.

You're in our way. Get lost!

I'll have your head if you take one step closer!

We mean no harm, but we need to go through here.

May we have passage?

I warned you, but it looks like you're itching to work the mines.

Who knows what you're here for?

If you're here for the treasure... we definitely can't allow that.

Thank you. I was trapped here for days. Hungry and tired.

It's been a long time since I last used it... you can call me Kestrel.

You should leave. Don't get yourself dragged into my troubles.

I ran away from the quarries in the south. I'm being pursued.

Found you at last. Don't even think about leaving here alive, after all the men we lost on account of you.

And how many workers died under your whips in the quarries? I'll take a few more with me if it's the last thing I do.

Are we helping?

Let's do it.

Help this woman and you can join her in hell.

Thanks for the help. Looks like they won't be after me for a while.

No, I need to go back to the quarries in the south. There are still a lot of workers enslaved there. I need to help them.

I'm a slave and a warrior. My life doesn't belong to me. I'll repay this favor, if I make it.

Should we help her? We've already crossed swords with the ameeri army, after all.

We got an emergency transmission from the scouts.

Remember the ameeri troops that you encountered in the forest? They're coming.

We got the map of stone deposits a while back, and the elder has shared a map of iron ore with us for sharing resources with them.

He says there is a lot of good iron ore around here.

(You obtained the map of Arsalan iron ore deposits. You can now gather iron.)

Next stop is the oasis. There are tales of echoing 'wails' that will make our operations more difficult. Be careful.

You don't fight like the ameeri men...

Our apologies. We should not have attacked so rashly.

What happened here? Why the hostility to outsiders?

Our clan has lived here in peace for many years, until the ameeri army invaded the oasis and burned the trees. Now nothing grows from the earth.

We kept retreating towards the edge of the oasis, seeking to escape their harassment. We finally found refuge in our ancestral temple.

Last month, however, the statue outside the temple vanished mysteriously.

The statue has guarded the doors of the temple for centuries. It is of great importance to us.
