Gadiel Cult

Now it's time to tell you the truth. I'm sorry that I didn't earlier, but I needed the time to see if you were trustworthy.

Gadiel... I can't believe I'm speaking that blasphemous name again. Let me explain how the good followers of Brune, the god of valor, have fallen along with their monastery.

Everything began falling apart with the emergence of one woman.

Her name is Merinsha, and she's replaced Saint Virgin Riche. In the beginning, everyone believed she was the next Saint Virgin who would save Riode.

She joined Saint Fhannel Monastery by the recommendation of Monastery Director Nator, who is ranked second only to Saint Virgin Riche.

She had everything planned from the beginning.

When Saint Virgin Riche stopped showing herself, the members of the monastery abandoned their faith in Brune and worshipped Merinsha instead. I saw that happening with my own eyes, and it filled me with despair.

A few members and I tried to stop it, but to no avail. I was the only one who was able to escape from the monastery.

You must have heard about the Gadiel cult often since you arrived in Riode.

The Gadiels worship Merinsha, and they have taken over Saint Fhannel Monastery. And I believe Merinsha is responsible for the contamination in Riode.

Commander Theodor is a righteous man, and he will take all the responsibility if the situation goes wrong. At the same time, he'll do whatever it takes to prevent that. His methods may result in the loss of even more lives, and I don't want to take part in it.

I silently prayed in hopes of stopping the worst from happening, and Brune told me you'd come.

Before you came, I asked Deputy Commander Victor to keep an eye on the Gadiels. You've been chosen by Brune. Please join forces with Victor and thwart Merinsha's conspiracy.

Please meet Deputy Commander Victor. He'll help you subjugate the Gadiels. May Brune bestow his valor upon you.

Jina sent me a message regarding your arrival. Nice to meet you. I've heard many great things about you. Hopefully you can help us contain the contamination in Riode.
