Hm...?

You must be the one who holds the Stamp of Muriniel...

Heh, you don't look like much. But even though you're ordinary looking, you possess the legendary item!

Only a few people in Midgard's history have been chosen to use the Stamp of Muriniel.

However, it's my job to test whether or not you are truly qualified to possess it.

Let me tell you about the stamp craftman Muriniel.

This man lived long ago, somewhere in Mt. Mjornir. He was eager in his studies, and wanted to recreate every pattern that existed in the world.

Believing that people were obstacles to his study of patterns, he lived in seclusion, studying alone.

While studying patterns one day, he happened to find a magic circle that connected this world to another world.

That circle was totally different from ones used by Mages, Wizards or sages. This pattern had the power to summon an evil creature from the other world.

In order to summon the creature, the pattern must be created in the perfect location. Muriniel began to explore various places and finally found the spot he was looking for.

The place he found is now Muriniel's Cottage. But to see that place, you will first need the Compass of Muriniel.

Heh heh. That's right, making the Compass of Muriniel will be my test for you.

Now listen carefully, I won't tell you more than once. I will need you to collect some items to make the Compass of Muriniel.

Bring me...

2 Iron Ore,

10 Acorn and

5 Decayed Nail.

For someone seeking the doomed sword, this should be a relatively simple task. Now go, and bring me what I have asked.

Let's see.

2 Iron Ore...

10 Acorn...

5 Decayed Nail...

Good, that's everything!

Good work. Now, while I make the body of the compass, you can go and bring me the rest of the items I'll need.

Muhahahaha! What's with that look? You know how this kind of business gets done!

Now stop whining

and go bring...

2 Brigan and

1 Phracon.

Now isn't that simple?

Muhahahaha!!

Now listen carefully. I won't tell you more than once. I need some items to create the Compass of Muriniel.

10 Acorn, and

Now...

Show me

what you brought.

That's 2 Brigan and...

1 Phracon. Hmm. Very good.

Now let me get to work.

Hmm...

Let's see...

There, it's finished.

Sage Esklah handed you the Compass of Muriniel.

In the direction the compass is pointing, some words are engraved...

- Mountain Mjornir -

- mjolnir_02 . 170 193 -

Look at the middle of compass carefully to find the place you must use the stamp. I wish you the best of luck in your journey.

Listen carefully!

I want you to bring...

1 Phracon

Isn't that simple and easy?

Muhahaha! Now, get a move on!

You look into the compass of Muriniel and take note of the engraving...

I remember watching a harmless

piece of paper floating

through the air...

As I was thinking of how wonderfully poetic that image was, that paper suddenly attacked me! Me, one of Juno's greatest Sages!

I tried defending myself with my trusty sword, but being paper-thin, that monster managed to dodge all of my blows. I had to cast magic in order to destroy it.

Later, I learned that monster is known as The Paper.

It used to be a part of an old book that contained a lot of ancient knowledge about Juno, but somehow, became a monster. Isn't that peculiar?
