Ah. Your body is surrounded

by the glow of one that has

eaten of the Awakening Stone.

That alone may prove your value

as an adventurer, but are you

free from your selfish desires?

Even just the smallest

taint of greed or jealousy

can prove to be a corruptive

influence when power is not

tempered by wisdom and a

sense of true compassion.

Others like you have come

before me in hopes of learning

about the Slate of Muriniel and

eventually obtaining one of the

three accursed blades. You are probably no different from them...

The Slate of Muriniel is an

alchemic artifact that can

help one access unimaginable

power, originally developed

by a master of alchemy that was

known as Rikaseh Sumarecon.

Sumarecon had two apprentices,

and after he had passed down the secrets of the Slate of Muriniel

to only one of his proteges, his other protege killed him and the

other student out of jealousy.

Sumarecon's secrets were

thought to be lost forever...

Fortunately, years later, an

Alchemist named Kuprite found

Sumarecon's secret documents

containing his knowledge.

Kuprite then taught these

secrets to a select group of

Alchemy students, one of which

was my ancestor, Burukesaemu.

And so, because of my lineage,

I have learned those secrets.

If you wish for me to

reproduce the Slate of

Muriniel for you, then

please bring me the items

I require to complete the

secret alchemic procedure.

I shall need

1 Sapphire,

1 Shining Stone,

1 Rough Elunium,

1 Emerald, and

1 Blue Gemstone.

You've already found

all of the items I require to

create the Slate of Muriniel?

Fantastic. Now I can begin work

on this. However, there is one

more thing I must ask of you.

Would you please bring me

1 Cobweb? You can obtain

them by slaying spiders in

Muriniel Pass which is on the

way to Al De Baran from here.

I'd have asked for it

sooner, but I need to prepare

all of these stones, and I need

the freshest Cobwebs I can get.

I'll make sure that these stones are ready when you return.

I see that you've brought

me a Cobweb. It's hard to

believe, but it's integreal to

creating the Slate of Muriniel.

Now, if you'll wait a moment,

I shall complete the slate...

*Clang Clang Clang!*

*Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaap*

*Ching tink t-t-t-tap*

*Whew* It's finished.

Please take care of this

slate, and know that I am

entrusting you with an artifact

that can help you access power

beyond your imagination...

You have received

the Slate of Muriniel.

There. You have eaten of

the Awakening Stone and you

possess the Slate of Muriniel.

Now, you must try to obtain the

Book of the Lamb if you are

questing for a doomed sword...

I know very little about

that artifact, and its secrets

are as well guarded as that of

the Slate of Muriniel. However,

I do know that a man in Morocc can create the Book of the Lamb...

If that man is still in

Morocc, then he will probably

recognize the subtle emanation

of the Awakening Stone and the

Slate of Muriniel from you. Best of luck to you, adventurer...

Ah, have you brought a

Cobweb? I know it sounds

strange, but I really need the

unique energy found only in

fresh Cobwebs to finish the

Slate of Muriniel for you...

You've eaten of the

Awakening Stone and

now possess the Slate of

Muriniel. Now, all you must

do is obtain the Book of the

Lamb. I know little about it...

All I can tell you is that

there should be a man in

Morocc that can create it

for you. A man like that can

sense the Slate of Muriniel,

so he may call out to you...

The Slate of Muriniel

is an ancient artifact

that can only be created

by the power of Alchemy.

It is one of the best kept

secrets of my family...

I'm responsible for guarding

the secrets of its creation, but I must also share the power

of the slate with those that

prove themselves worthy of it.

After all, power is useless

if it is never used. However,

if power is never balanced with

wisdom and compassion, then

it will inevitably do more harm

than good in the very end...
