High Entia History
Those statues... Am I right in thinking they are of High Entia origin?
They are indeed. These are the Sororal Statues. They depict twin goddesses representing order and justice.
A treacherous place to erect them.
This place was once used for our Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
That seems fitting.
Potential successors to the throne who came of age were left here. If they survived, they could return to the capital, triumphant.
I see. So only the best specimens continued the imperial line. Ruthless but effective.
That is what I was told, at least. It was probably all just a formality.
Of course. Fighting off the Satorl Guardian alone is no easy task.
However, I have heard of a former ruler who did see the task through.
A half-Homs like you?
Very astute, Dunban. Not a pleasant fact, but still true.
I find it ironic. Goddesses of order and justice looking down with biased gazes.
Still, I can understand why the ceremony was necessary. It must have been the only way to secure the people’s trust.
The same reason you faced the Tomb, right?
...
Calm yourself, Melia. Whenever you feel afraid, know that we’re here to protect you.
I know, Dunban. You saved my life at the Tomb. I will never forget the debt I owe you and the others. 
An adventurous one, no doubt.
The participant has no choice in participating.
Then it sounds as if they were simply being led to their death.
There must have been a reason for conducting the ceremony. Something that made it necessary in that particular case.
Are you suggesting... this High Entia was of mixed blood?
Yes. The ceremony must have been needed to gain the people’s trust. Just as I faced the Tomb.
Does this place remind you of the Tomb?
Yes. Of the hardship I faced there. And the friends that saved my life. I am forever grateful to you all.
Here?!
Yes, here! What are you trying to suggest?! This site is a stunning example of High Entia architectural skill.
I can't deny that.
Oh no...!
What's wrong, Melia?
Each statue is supposed to have an ether crystal on its chest. But one of them is missing!
Thankfully, the other statue’s crystal is still present.
I wonder what happened...
Perhaps it was stolen.
Many people with dubious reputations travel through here.
I have heard of such people. I don’t suppose we’ll ever see it again...
Why don’t you replace it?
You’re right, Dunban. The twin goddesses of order and justice must look their part.
Order and justice, huh? I am sure they’d be happy if you were to help them out.
It might have fallen off.
I have my doubts that such a thing is possible...
Perhaps it was due to a flaw in the construction. Even the wise and skilled High Entia must have their off days.
Spare me your sarcasm, Dunban. Even if you are correct.
Why don’t you replace the crystal? Bring the sisters back to glory! I’m sure you’re up to the task.
That is not a bad idea. What one sister has, the other craves. And we cannot have that!
