Chapter 1: The Princess of Cornelia 12/15/03

A wise sage, Lukan, prophesized the coming of the four light warriors
just as he left the kingdom of Cornelia.

Three days later, the four warriors met at the gates of Cornelia. Upon
entering the kingdom, they discovered that the once-loyal knight,
Garland, had kidnapped Princess Sarah. The king's informants had
pinpointed their location to be the Temple of Chaos to the north. So,
their first mission was to rescue the beloved princess and prove.

The Temple of Chaos
Items: Potion, Tent, and Leather Cap

Boss: Garland
Weak against magic and warrior class

After rescuing the princess, the king honored the warrior's bravery
with a bridge, and the princess blessed the warriors with her lute.

Quotes
• "This is Cornelia, a city where dreams are woven."
• "A well, not at all important."
• "I hear the lute can destroy the door to the source of all
  evil."
• "Our ancestors sealed weapons away here and left the
  key in the elven prince's keeping. He was to guard it
  until the light warriors came."

Chapter 2: A Ship and a Three-Ring Circus 12/16/03

"And so their journey began.

As the warriors of light, the four youths faced a staggering
mission and a stormy destiny.

The four crystals they carried remained a mystery to them...
In ages past, those crystals had radiated a dazzling light.

The time for heroes is at hand. Darkness must be banished
so the light of peace can illuminate the world once more."

Matoya's Cave: A Witch's Vision
Not really sure what lay before them, the four warriors made their
way north and found a cave. Curiosity got the better of them, and they
found that in that cave lived a world renowed witch named Matoya. Yet,
at the moment, she was frantically creating havoc, desperately trying to
find her eyes.
Items: Potion x2, Antidote

Quotes
• "Flipp'er over, flip, flip! Elcric d'na, trats!"

Pravoca: Stealing the Pirate's Ship
Unable to help the witch, the warriors made their way south to the
village of Pravoca, hoping there, they would find something. In a sense,
they did: pirates were raiding the seaside town when they arrived, and so,
naturally, a battle between them ensued.

Boss: Pirates
After defeating the pirates, the heroes got command of their ship, and
more clues about their next mission.

Quotes
• "I hear there is a land of elves far across the sea, where
  its prince has fallen under a curse."
• "I fled here from Melmund, a town far to the west.
  What a horrible sight that was...the earth rotting and
  monsters attacking as soon as night fell. Please help
  us!"

Elfheim:The Kingdom's Sorrow
With their new mode of transportation, the warriors cruised the
Aldean Sea. Although they were mostly carefree, they didn't forget their
task at hand, and what the citizens of Cornelia and Pravoca had said about
the Elven Prince. Particularly rumors in Cornelia said that the Light
Warrior's weapons were sealed within its castle, and that the only one who
can break the seal was the Elven Prince.

At the kingdom of Elfheim, the heroes finally learn about the dark elf
Astos, and how he had cursed the Prince five years ago.

Quotes
• "I know I've heard of a witch who can concoct any
  potions. Matoya was her name, I think."
• "There's a cave on the western edge of the Aldean Sea
  where dwarves dwell. A great bunch they are."
• "I am a prophet. The vision will come to me
  eventually. I shall wait in meditation until then."

Western Keep:Abandoned Castle
The heroes now faced a daunting task: to find a cure to the Prince's
curse. Many of the elves were panicking because they had been trying to
find the cure for five years. Some even suggested that the witch, Matoya
may be able to cure the Prince.

Anything was worth a shot at the moment, so with the little bit of
information, the heroes wandered Westward and stumbled upon the
Western Keep. There, they learned that the same villain, Astos, was
responsible for its dilapidated condition. The king of the keep then asked
that the light warriors help him restore the castle, by going into the Marsh
Cave to the south, and retrieving the Crown.

Quotes
• "Astos has taken all that belonged to this castle. Please
  go to the cave in the southern marsh and find the crown.
  Only the crown can restore this castle."

Chapter 3: Round and About 12/17/03

The warriors realized that the Marsh Cave was a little difficult to
explore. So, they remembered another clue and set sail Westward to the
Dwarve's home, Duergar.

Duergar
Items: 1025 gil

Quotes
• "Rally-ho!"
• "I'm looking for the Levistone. You see, the Levistone
  can make anything float in air!"
• "With the Crystal Eye, even a blind one is able to see
  everything. But I hear that dark elf Astos stole it from
  Matoya the Witch.
• "How an I forge a sword worthy of leaving its name in
  history? Perhaps that legendary metal, Adamantite
  can...
• "Argh, so close to completing the canal and a darn rock
  gets in my way! If I only had the Nitro Powder..."
• "I hear the Nitro Powder was taken to a castle and was
  locked away inside a room."
• "The earth has begun to rot. From the West it
  comes."

Now feeling more capable of the trials ahead, the warriors returned to
the Marsh Caves to seek the Crown for the King of the Western keep.

Marsh Cave
Items: Dagger, Broad Sword, Steel Plate, Copper Armlet, Cottage,
Crown, 1980gil

Western Keep Revisited
Upon finding the crown, the heroes gleefully made their way back to
the king of the Western Keep. Shockingly, the King laughed maniacally
and revealed his true form: Astos. He had tricked the heroes into
retrieving the Crown for him so he can more easily take over Elfheim.

Boss: Astos
Weak against magical attacks.

When the heroes beat Astos, they received Matoya's Crystal
Eye. So, they returned it to her, and for that, she gave them her most
powerful potion, a Jolt Tonic. Not really whether it would really
work, they still gave it a try and lo and behold, the Elven Prince's curse
was lifted. Their reward for their efforts was the Mystic Key.

Quotes
• "I hear that there is a flying ship...Airship is the name
  and that it is burried somewhere.

Chapter 4: Melmond's Hellmouth 12/18/03

After collecting the items guarded by the Mystic Key, the light
warriors returned to Duergar to help one of the dwarves build his canal.
With the Nitro Powder, the project was a success. This canal allowed now
allowed them all to explore the outer seas.

Melmond

"I fled here from Melmund, a town far to the
west. What a horrible sight that was...the earth rotting and
monsters attacking as soon as night fell. Please help
us!"

Melmond indeed was an awful sight: death and destruction was
everywhere from the vampire's last raid.

Quotes
• "An old man Sadda lives in a cave on the southern
  edge of this land. He's very wise and may have the answers
  you need."
• "Long ago an advanced civilization flourished in the
  Northern Lands. Now it's fallen into ruin."
• "I'm Jimm the dwarf. I've come to investigate the
  cause of the earth's decay."

  that blasted vampire..."
• "The titan in the cave eats rocks. Precious gems are his
  favorite. He can eat them forever."
• "I'm Dr. Unne. But I'm sure you know that already.
  What? You don't? Impossible!"
• "To the south of this town is a peninsula called the
  Devil's Tail. You'll find the Terra Cavern there."
• "The closer you went to that cave, plants grew healthier
  and yielded more. That seems like ages past."

Terra Cavern
Items: Antidote, Potionx2, Tent, Coral Sword, Leather Shield,
Sleeping Bag, 13,975gil, Star Ruby

Boss: Vampire
Relatively easy.

After defeating the vampire, the heroes found that there was more to
the cave, but it was sealed by a stone plate that rested on the floor,
which seemed to emanate an evil force.

The heroes exited the Terra Cavern and headed northwest to the
Titan's Cave. They gave the titan guard the Star Ruby the vampire
left them. The titan ate it greedily and let them past thru to the Sage's
Cave, where Sadda lived.

Sage's Cave
Items: Earth Rod

Quotes
• "The vampire was a mere servant of the real culprit
  blocking the flow of the Earth Crystal's power. He is
  hiding deeper down. Take this staff and use it to probe
  beyond the vampire's chamber."

Terra Cavern Revisited

Boss: Lich
Weak against Fire and Dia. It helps to put up the nulls

After defeating Lich, Barun, the red mage noticed that his crystal was
responding to the presence of the Earth Crystal. So he walked up to it as if
in trance, touched it, and suddenly, the Earth Crystal regained it's beautiful
shimmer.

Back to Melmond
The heroes returned triumphant. Even before their return, the citizens
of Melmond were already noticing the power of the Earth Crystal and the
Light Warriors who revived it.

Quotes
• "This here Melmond used to be known for its
  beauty."
• "They say that the ancients used some kind of rock to
  launch their ships into the air."

Chapter 5: Mt. Gulg Erupts 1/26/04

Wandering around, the light warriors finally found an accessible city:
Crescent Lake.

Crescent Lake: The Quiet Calm
Crescent Lake was a very beautiful, quiet little town. Yet hidden on its
outskirts are the sages of the land, gathered in haste to discuss the
future of the world: its impending doom, and the mysteries of the
Light Warriors.

Quotes
• "That good-for-nothing husband of mine! He does
  nothing but travel, then comes back and does nothing
  but sleep the days away..."
• �We, the twelve sages came to this land guided by the
  stars and prophecies.�
• �Earth Fire Water Wind�the four crystals shine with
  the power of each element. But the Four Fiends of
  Chaos are attempting to seize those elemental forces.�
• �Earth Fire Water Wind�these are the four forces that
  compose our world.�
• �At the source of each elemental force is an altar.
  The Fiends have gone there. Defeat them and
  place the crystal there. The crystals will regain its
  brilliance.�
• �The Four Fiends scheme to gain control of all
  worlds in both past and future. The Wind Fiend
  appeared 400 years ago and the Water Fiend, 200
  years ago. Together, they destroyed the Northern
  Civilization.�
• �The Earth Fiend rots the earth.�

  be unfolded.�

  Warriors, only you can do this�

  volcano west of this town. But now awakens 200
  years before prophecy foretold. Destroy it before
  it destroys everything else.�
• �Well done Light Warriors. You�ve defeated the
  Earth Fiend and restored the crystal�s light. But by
  doing so, you have raised the Fire Fiend 200 years
  before its prophesized awakening. Take this canoe.
  Go to Mt. Gulg and stop the destruction.�
• �I am Lukin, a prophet. Now legend and prophecy
  shall come to pass and we shall bear witness to it. Our
  path is set.�

Mt. Gulg: Walking on Lava
The heroes carefully make their way to Mt. Gulg. The creatures and the
heat were rather difficult for the Light Warriors. Still, they
persevered, and eventually found their way to where the Fire Fiend,
Marileth, was preparing doom upon the world.

Items: Mythril Helmx2, Mythril Gloves, Mythril Shield,
Mythril Axe, Claymore, Ice brand, Flame Shield, Staff, Flame Mail,
Potionx2, Tent, Antitdotex2, Cottage, Gold Needle, 30895 gil

Boss: Marilith
�Twas uber hard!!! Only won by sheer luck, the third time around.
Nulblaze, Shields, Haste, Steel, and Invisible, somewhat helped�

Back in Crescent
The ordeal at Mt. Gulg totally took its toll on the heroes and they
had to rehabilitate for a while at Crescent. While on hiatus, they
learned more about the whereabouts of a levistone

Quotes
• �I�ve been looking for the levistone for ten years. I�m sure the cave
  north of this town has something to do with it, but my wife will
  go berserk if I go.�
