I have received orders, [%username]. Orders which must be carried out even though I am loath to do so. This world has spilled its lifeblood, Aether, which turns the natural into something quite unnatural.

Perhaps I should have volunteered for Sanctum. Perhaps I should have devoted my life to the Five, but Atreia turns, and I must turn with it...

"Er...something wrong?"

It's the Manduri forest. There are two problems I have been asked to address there. The first is a simple overpopulation of [%dic:STR_DIC_M_Vespa_21_n]s, but the second....

Look at the ground, [%username]. Look at the rocks and soil--inanimate. Enter the Forest, though--the Aether has drawn some of these inanimate things together. The Aether has given them LIFE.

We call them [%dic:STR_DIC_M_ElementalEarth2_21_An]s, and while we could grant them freedom and leave them alone, their rampaging ways threaten the safety of travelling Humans. They have to be destroyed. Would you help me?

Accept. Decline.

Thank you.

I will wait here. Return to me when your work is done.

"I will."

I understand.

Destroying those which have only just been granted life is a terrible thing to have to do, but my orders still stand. If you change your mind, come back. I need good [%userclass]s like you to help out.

"Good luck."

Back so soon, [%username]?

I won't ask how the task was; I only hope your work is done.

"It is."

Thank you, you have done well.

There is more work that needs doing and I would like to call on you again, if I may. Take this for now--it is more than deserved.

Hunt the Vespines and Moss Spirits causing trouble in the Manduri Forest.

[%dic:STR_DIC_M_Vespa_21_n] ([%2]/5)

[%dic:STR_DIC_M_ElementalEarth2_21_An] ([%5]/5)

Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Androkles].

Hunt some of the Grove Vespines and Moss Spirits for Androkles.

Androkles received an order from the fortress to hunt Grove Vespines and Moss Spirits, something which pained him considerably.

You successfully hunted for him and were asked to return when you have enough time, as further work needs to be done in the Forest.
