Did you go? I am certain I already know the answer.
You make it quite difficult for me to tell if you are incredibly brave or incredibly stupid.
They say the greatest fools can be mistaken for great heroes, and I'm starting to see that myself.
Regardless, <Kael>, it is high time you knew the truth. That place was once sealed by the Silent Brotherhood.
When the fabric of reality began to weaken, the Pontiff's Court broke the seal and attempted a summoning.
I imagine they were trying to summon the goddess, as I attempted to do when I was younger.
This, of course, begs the question of WHY they would try to summon something that is already prophesied to come.
Anyway, as you have seen, they failed, and unleashed hell upon Ainle and its inhabitants.
The only benefit to this disaster is that the Pontiff's Court was unable to study the magics at work in the chaos.
If they had, there is no telling how their power could increase with such knowledge.
Which brings us to now. You defeated the beasts that were holding them back.
The Pontiff's Court is now free to return and study the forces they unleashed.
We cannot allow that. I need you to first remove the bindings of the summoned beast.
Anything we can keep out of their hands buys us more time.
