The Dawnseeker
I promised to protect you, and our home. What's why I'm dragging you on a bit of a detour. The fires burning Warwick Forest are getting hotter, and I can sense why. Kolr's sould was completely incinerated, but his lingering will, hatred, and spite continues to possess the flames he stole from me. They're coalescing into a mindless body controlled by wrath. If you defeat it, like how I burned the gods of the other planets, you'll inherit its divine fire.
Talk
Lore is my home now, and I intend to prtect it. When Tara and my brother return, let's go on another adventure. One where we can be ourselves.
Kolr
I remember meeting Kolr. He was brave at first, earnestly fighting alongside the Great Dragon of Fire to protect Fiamme. Then, his skin began to char. Being Fiamme's champion, he never experienced that before. My flames were different… this wasn't the first time I saw bravery smoulder into complete fear. Many heroes threw themselves into my flames, only to realize that their gods were using them to buy time to escape. Looking back, I feel… awful.
Avatars
Thanks for explaining the Avatars and the Old Worlds Order situation. So, the Avatars are like me. We barged our way into Lore. Compared to other beings I've met with authority over Elements like Fire and Water, the Avatars are much stronger. They aren't on a exceptional level like the other guys you mentioned- Kathool, the Arcana, and such- but being connected to Lore's Mana Core makes them a cut above the rest.
Promise
You, Tara, and my bother gave me a new life. A chance to make up for what I've done. I promised them that I'd protect you. It doesn't matter who I'm up against, whether it's the Old Worlds Order or even my father… I'm a hero now. You won't face them alone. And if people confront me to get justice or vengeance, then it's my responsibility to make things right. Like you said, it won't be easy… but I won't run. I have people depending on me.

First Champion of Fire
The thing that chased you on Mount Maleno's lurking in the center of Forge Albedo. I'll leave the flames alone this time so Warlic won't get upset. Then, when everything settles down, I'll give you the full rundown on Jaania.
Talk
How come I remember Jaania, but no one else can? Well, Warlic does because she came from his brain. Hm…
Dangers
The books in Thelima, and even Jaania herself, said that the people who visited Albedo before us went through personality changes. That was probably because of Aiwass switching everyone's brains as a team building exercise. Then, Forge Albedo inserts an extra member into your party. Jaania even spelled it out for us. Right, it isn't that much different from the Strangers hitchhiking in your shadows.
Warlic
The fake extra member of our group said she knew Warlic from a long, long time ago. Back then, he found peace, but it was taken from him. Like all of his problems were fixed, and suddenly they weren't. I don't get it…and maybe that's why Warlic doesn't want to talk. It'd really sting if I tried to tell you what was making me sad, but all of you just shrugged and went "I don't know." Especially because… you're my only friends.
Journey
Something about Forge Albedo's heat made us believe that the extra teammate had been there since we left Thelima. Was she…supposed to be here? Jaania came from Warlic's memories, and slid into the picture so easily, you'd think she always belonged. My head aches…not in the "I'm confused" way. More like a "It's on the tip of my tongue" type of feeling. I think…I know this. I know why, but the answer's behind a curtain.

After completing the 'Conscious Unconsciousness' quest:
First Champion of Fire
I'm the champion of Fire. Who else would I be? Even if I'm not, Tara said I'm a Hero. All of the people in the Sanctuary were screaming for help. They were being hurt. I had to help them! And then…everything went out of control. I heard a voice telling me to kill and burn. It was this deep pules that made me feel…so small. Tell me. I need you and Tara to tell me what I should be. Stop me from become what that voice wants me to be.

The Dawnseeker
The Lightguard took the Flames of Citrinitas from the forge, and Admin B couldn't stop them. I guess that's why he wasn't there to greet us at the door. Even if he was, I bet he'd just mess with us. Here, take a look at the guestbook instead. It's making me uneasy…
Guestbook
Tara always searched the forges from top to bottom, and tucked books like these away for later. Someone wrote about her in this guestbook. Did she also have a brother? This Bligh fellow cares a lot about his niece, and Sigrid's worried about the Champion of Light too. I'm… scared I'll never see Warlic and Tara again, but I'm not the only one terrified for their loved ones. We're going to stop The Law.
How are you?
I'm trying not to panic. Am I doing a good job of that? Honestly, my heart's going to beat out of my chest. I'm terrified for Warlic and Tara. I know that hiding in the forge is all we can do right now, but I feel useless. That isn't how I should be thinking, because you're here too. You're not useless. We'll find our footing in the Forge, and come out swinging. The Law won't know what's coming.
Doom Spirits
All of my memories are flooding back, and they're overwhelming. Doom Spirits- like Ouroboros, Dahlia, and the Mysterious Stranger- were on every planet that I've visited before. They're doing a lot worse than the ones from here. In hiding, extinct, or even caged and used as fuel… Lore is the only place where they were able to become a threat, and even then, they're on the decline now. That look on your face tells me this might not be a coincidence.
After completing the 'Clematis' Aspirations' quest:
The Dawnseeker
…Sorry, I was little distracted seeing Clematis' tail disappear down Ourobotos' throat. This feeling must be… disgust? That's very new to me. Same with healing. Sigrid isn't doing well, and she got worse when we told her about Tara. Before Sigrid started staring at the wall, she told me that the depths of the forge are learning with Citrinitas Matches. Astero is also 'in the walls', but I'm not sure what that means.

The First Champion of Fire(?)
You said you needed a friend who can help. I'm here! We'll rescue everyone that I wasn't able to protect from the Lightguard. Huh? How am I doing? Oh, not very good. If Warlic doesn't want to be my brother, then I won't make him. Our father…my head hurts all of a sudden. Would you and Tara like a brother instead? I see Tara's already nodding, but…maybe you should take time to think about it. I still don't know who I am…
After completing the 'Blinded by the Light' quest:
The First Champion of Fire(?)
There's a horrible feeling in my chest. Tara says it because I need to throw up, but I don't know how to do that. It's just really warm right now. Not like the Flames of Maleno or Albedo. This is different. To be honest, I think I'm scared. If we go further, there's no telling what'll happen, but I promised that I'd protect you and Tara. Don't worry. I'm right here. I won't run away.
First Champion of Fire
Dahlia shot off in a random direction, and everyone else wandered away. Mind if I stick to you? We're supposed to find the Dragon nesting in here, get rid of it, and have the Guardian put the forge into 'hibernation'. Easy, - I mean, oh, that's going to be real tough. Almost impossible. Tara said I should never say anything's easy or else. She also said she'll help me get on Warlic's good side. I hope it works…
Talk
Memory loss is apparently an understatement. Tara described it as something different from 'forgetting where the keys are.' Apparently, I'm suffering from "forgetting what a key is."
Adventure
I can tell all of you are tense, but is it bad that I've been having fun? The trail mix in Tara's pocket tastes bad, but was fun to chew, and the stories she told about your adventures made me want to have one. This is an adventure, right? I can't wait to put the fires out, and see everyone cheering for us again. But Tara said not to sweat the destination. She wants us to enjoy ourselves, and the moment. "There are more important things than an ending."
Warlic
I'm sorry I made your friend angry. Tara already warned me that you can't solve everything with fire, but it was a knee-jerk reaction. Does Warlic like anything, or have any favorite things? The people in Thelima love flowers and jewelry. Something in the back of my mind tells me I should know this. Do you think I knew him in the past? Tara said that Warlic's 'crazy old,' so there's a chance.
Admin B
Is the Guardian of Maleno a ghost? Not an invisible Elemental, either? It sounded like Admin V and Admin G died or something, so Admin B took over. Okay, you're saying that they're based on a 'personality scan' - which means they're a copy of a real person. I'm excited to visit Undine to see more tech for myself. The ocean sounds crazy, too. Instead of land, it's all water, hi-tech weapons of mass destruction, and squid gods. Cool!

After completing the 'Blithe Hospitality' quest:
First Champion of Fire
We reached the center of the forge, where its flames and the Dragon roar. They're burning in Maleno's fire, and it'll never stop, even if they leave. Then, destroying it is supposed to be merciful? Is that another way of saying 'kind?"

After completing the 'Sal Volatile' quest:
First Champion of Fire
See? No scratches, and no burns. But for a moment, it felt like my throat closed before I made it outside. That was you stopping time? I wonder why it didn't affect that monster… but can we talk about something else? Warlic's standing in a corner like a bad kid. All he did was try to stop your stalker from hurting you. I was in the way, and you're obviously more important to Warlic than I am… so go easy on him.

Don't look back. We can't look back.
Forty minutes… I have forty minutes to get you to safety.

After completing the 'Wave Goodbye' quest:
The Dawnseeker
Tara and my brother stayed behind, trusting me with your safety. I feel the same way you do. We should be there, fighting The Law alongside them. It's just that I can barely stand, and you can't keep your eyes open. I have feeling so… so helpless. The only thing we can do now is rely on your blue worm friends. His aura's similar to Dahlia's, and there's something about Forge Citrinitas… We won't be safe, but The Law won't be able to see us.
Talk
How long are Tara and Warlic going to hold out? Even if they're with the nice lady mask, a clash between all of them could split the planet in half.
Silencing
When The Law attacked us, for just a split second… I was in terrible agony. It was worse than the first time I was burned by my father, right after I was born. I couldn't move, or speak… A prisoner in my own body… Was it the same for you? Could this be another reason why I was created? My father might have known there were opponents that overshadowed him, so he took cautious action.
Family
We have to believe in Tara and Warlic. Once we recover, I'll burn every last one of those masks for what they did to us! I have to… I… *sigh* Getting angry isn't going to help. Even though this is what they wanted, I'm terrified that I left them both to die, and there's nothing I can do about it. All of you are my family now, and this is my home. This must be how all the mortals… no, how all the people I hurt felt before I…
Destination
The blue worm guy said he can hide us if we give him some help. He reminds me of Dahlia, and even if she was always sneaking off, that Shadow is really attached to Tara. So, Ouro should be cool too. Huh? What did you say? Sorry, I can't really tell what you're mumbling. Just take it easy. I'll carry you into Forge Citrinitas, and Ouro will hide us in his gullet. What's a gullet, by the way? It sounds like a bag.
Scion of Flames
We're up against a foe I might not be able to protect you from, even with my memories and full strength back. I could give you my flames, but I've never done that before. It could hurt you. If only there was a way you could inherit them safely… wait. Kolr didn't meant to, but he put me on the right path. Now, he's going to give us a way to turn you into a Scion of Flames. Let's try it this way…
- Class Quest
- Challenge Boss
First Champion of Fire
Tara told me to sit still, but I can't. There's so much to see and hear, and all of it's new. After the Clerics finished checking on Tara, they diagonaled me with acute amnesia. No… diagnosed. That's the right word. They were surprised I could even talk this much, with how little I remembered. Before I opened my eyes… there was nothing. I was nothing. Hey! What's that! A butterfly? *crunch* Huh. Did I grab it too hard? Can it come back from this?
Identity
My name is Aleister. That's what immediately came to mind when Tara asked me. I'm the first Champion of Fire. I don't remember what I was like before I woke up, but all the stories I've heard about the mountains and the forges are…really cool! The nice people at the library read me the books for me, and said there were different ones at the other mountains. I want to know more, and I want to remember what it was like to be…me!
Beast
The monster that attacked you was the beast from beyond. That's what everyone says makes the most sense. It got away, but the stories people tell about me said that I killed it before. Sure, it beat me too, but you look really strong. So do Tara and the blue man. If we chase after the beast together, we'll defeat it, and get more stories written about us. Oh yeah, it could help me regain my memories too.
Hero
Everyone in Thelima started giving us flowers. I don't know what to do with them, but they make me…excited! I want more! Not the flowers, but for people to cheer, laugh, and shout our names. We're heroes, and there are so many stories about your other deeds and adventures. There are some about me, but they're old. Will there be new ones about mountains and seas if we go explore together?
