Endangered Elim

Endangered throughout Asmodae, the Elim suffer tremendously in comparison to their cousins in Elysea. The Asmodian campaign quest, "Petrifyed Elim" does no justice for the Asmodian player trying to understanding the Elim's importance. Poor dialogue quality and story significance, I propose adding more of a role between the player and Elim.

Vili: Do you know anything about the Elim, [Character Name]? Perhaps you haven’t met one yet. Seeing one is rare now in Asmodae. The Elim are moving trees that can walk and talk. For all of our history, they’ve been the guardians of the land and all life that dwells on it. Once, their existence was a common sight to see, but ever since the Cataclysm, their existence has been slowly disappearing. And with their disappearance, the land itself falls to ruin.

Player: Ironic, but all life struggles unfortunately.

Vili: Indeed, all life is a struggle in our cold world. The Elim and Daevas have long maintained a strong mutual friendship for survival. We’re the guardians of all of Asmodae, while the Elim are the guardians of the environment itself. If we are to thrive for centuries to come…no, millenniums to come, we must make sure that their kind survives. The Elim are in danger of extinction; we must do whatever we can to help them. At the Patamor Thicket, the former lord of the forest Patamor has turned to stone. And around Patamor are other Elim, trying to keep his life sustained. I heard that they’ve suffering another heavy loss. Go see Nabaru and do whatever you can to help them.

Player: The task is mine!

Nabaru: Hail…Daeva! You find us…in despair. We are left… without guidance from our leaders. Elder Belemu has turned to stone… and Lord Patamor also remains…a stone. The three of us gathered to save them…to no avail. Both their essences are gone.

Player: How did this happen?

[Cutscene] Nabaru: The Spriggans…attack and stole their essences. Once…the forest spread from here to the Salintus Desert...but now, they crave more territory. We cannot allow… the Spriggans to have their way any longer…or else, the forest will be lost.

Nabaru: The Spriggans were once subjected to our rules of the land…they’re destructive creatures…and in time, they rebelled against us. Chopping down trees…imprisoning other creatures…they must be stopped. They’ve constructed a hierarchy…and their leaders seek to destroy us…retrieving the essences of Belemu and Patamor…is the burden of Asmodians aswell… We need the help of Daevas more than ever now…before this land becomes even more barren…It would mean defeating ____ and ____. They are the leaders of the Spriggans…and I suspect that they are carrying our lords’ essences. If you can retrieve those essences…maybe we can save both of them. May Azphel’s shadow protect us…

Player: I will save the forest!

Nabaru: We are so grateful…Daeva. I can sense…great discord amongst the Spriggans. Now, we can revive the leaders of the forest…so that life can become prosperous again…If only our leaders were here to guide us…we don’t know if their essences will be enough to resurrect them again…but we have to try.

Player: That doesn’t sound…assuring…

Nabaru: Indeed it doesn’t Daeva…but we won’t know until we try. We cannot afford to suffer any more losses…much less abandon our lords…go and see Gullindr. He has stayed by Belemu’s side since he turned to stone… Gullindr is the youngest amongst us…he is optimistic…despite our despair… You will find him… at the Hill of Belemu… It lies between the Spriggan Habitat…and the Salintus Desert. Use the Essence of Belemu to revive him…perhaps…Gullindr will know a way…he is the newer generation of Elim…so he has adapted well to Asmodae’s bleakness…

Player: I will try my best noble Elim.

Gullindr: Hail…Daeva! I was the only one left out of the Elim…to sustain Belemu’s life…while my brethren sustained Lord Patamor…We Elim have struggled in Asmodae’s harsh environment…however… my generation has adapted well to this environment…I will help revive the Elim…no matter the hardships… we cannot afford to give in…Take a fragment of my essence…and use it with Lord Belemu’s…Perhaps my power will help…We have to save the wise…so that we youngsters can take their place…

[Cutscene]  Player: Cmon…you have to come back! All of the Elim, and all of Asmodae needs you Lord Belemu! As the combined Essences glow, your player tries to intensify the essences with his own Daeva powers.

Belemu: Hail…Daeva! You have revived me! I am so very grateful. Although I am weak…my power will return…You have done a great service…for the Elim. Go…and revive Lord Patamor!

Nabaru: How did things go Daeva?...Did you revive Lord Belemu?

Player: Yes. Although weak, he is alive again!

Nabaru: That is very good news to hear!...with Lord Belemu back…and with the help of Daevas…we can bring back the forest…Now, take the fragments of our essences…so that we can revive Lord Patamor…and then Morheim will begin recovering again…

[Cutscene]  ''Gathering the powers of all three Elim, you once again add your divine power to the essences. Turning into one big sphere like energy, you use it to attempt and revive Patamor. All of the other Elim gaze at the display. A big quake is caused, but there is no reaction from Lord Patamor.''

Player: No it didn’t work…I couldn’t revive Lord Patamor…

Nabaru: Whip your tears away Daeva…your kindness and willpower has moved us Elim…although we were not able to revive Lord Patamor…you were able to save Elder Belemu…we are truly thankful…Young Daeva...you are truly the hope of your kind...most Asmodians have forsaken us...and stopped caring for the forest...But thanks to you...we will find more ways to revive our Lord…and we will not stop trying…You have taught us that much Daeva…
