The descent was anything but easy, and finding hope in the face of despair is no simple task. We met the heroic Chrysos Heirs and learned that the Titans are rotting away. Twelve Coreflames await collection, seven are already in our possession. **Dan Heng:** The speed at which the apocalypse arrived in Amphoreus was beyond our imagination. Five Coreflames of the Titans have gone missing, and of the seven we've gathered, we only know where three of them's divinty has gone. **Caelus:** We can only hope that the information we've gathered throughout this journey will help us piece things together faster. ---- ==== Companions and Memories ==== {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscript-era-nova-i-paean-3.jpg?200|}} **Mem**\\ Not a pet, but the first companion you encountered in this new world. > A mysterious creature with pink fur, only the Trailblaze can decipher their "riddles." > — Dan Heng **Aglaea | Bearer of Mnestia's Divinity**\\ All of her actions are guided by the "Flame-Chase Journey."

He says it may harm his body. > — Trailblazer **Castorice | Maiden of War of Aidonia**\\ Okhema's "Mortician," listening to the voices of the dead, interpreting the Titans' speech. > Together with the Trailblazer, she entered the once-glorious Castrum Kremnos and uncovered Nikador's secrets, the key to retrieving the Titan Coreflames. > — Dan Heng **Phainon | Chrysos Heir in Aedes Elysiae**\\ A "prophesized Deliverer," ready to inherit the Coreflame of Nikador, the Strife Titan. > In the trial of Demigod Ascension, one most confront their deepest fears and rage... > — Trailblazer **Dan Heng**\\ Alongside the Trailblazer, he deciphered the trial of the "Scales of Justice," summoning Oronyx of the Fate Titans. Together, they fought against Nikador in the battle at Castrum Kremnos. **Trailblazer**\\ While battling the dromases for food and debating the Verax Leos, I learned Oronyx's Prayer. Unexpectedly, I caught the eye of Fuli. ---- ==== From the Future ==== {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscript-era-nova-i-paean-4.jpg?200 |}} ;#; When the scroll is sealed and the pen is set down, you hear whispers from the future. ;#; ;#; "Black"...
