Elona Reach (outpost)

Description
''This desolated outpost overlooks the skeletal remains of what might once have been a bustling seaport. Brackish puddles are all that remain of the water that once meant life to fishermen and traders alike. Today, rotted pilings and tattered sailcloth are all that mark this ghost harbor.''

Note: The name "Elona Reach" is a reference to the nation of Elona, one of several peoples that tried to establish a home in the Crystal Desert in order to ascend, but failed.

Mission Briefing
From the Ghostly Hero:
 * "Your Ascension is close at hand. But do not let your success go to your head.  I was once mortal like you. I thought I had everything well in hand.  That was hundreds of years ago, but I have yet to reach the Hall of Heroes.


 * What is it you seek?"


 * What challenge must I face here in the Reach?
 * "This is where my people, the Elonians, met their untimely end, trying to assemble the Vision Crystal."


 * What Happened?
 * "The desire for control is a powerful thing. The minds of mortal men are torn asunder with thoughts of greatness.  And as is the case with many men who have acheived some power, they desire more and more until finally they either get it or destroy themselves trying."


 * I do not understand.
 * "In our struggle for more power, there was no one we would not struggle against... even ourselves. We were unable to work together to pass the test of the Vision Crystal.  Greed separated my people, made them turn on each other, made their leaders turn on each other, and in the end, it was to be our undoing."


 * The Vision Crystal?
 * "It is a powerful artifact that can focus the gaze of the gods upon you. Without it, you will be unable to Ascend.  Once you have completed the threeTests of Ascension, you will head to Augury Rock.  There, the gaze of the gods will be focused by the Vision Crystal upon you.  If you pass their scrutiny, you will be allowed to enter the final test and prove yourself worthy of Ascension once and for all."


 * What must I do?
 * "Retreive the three shards of the Vision Crystal and help me fuse them back together."


 * Consider it done.
 * "I admire your confidence. Let us hope you do better than I did when I was in your place."
