Story
Once a player has finished all Arcanist class quests, and possesses at least 15 levels in Conjurer, the receptionist at Mealvaan's Gate will mention Alka Zolka is looking for an arcanist to assist him in his research. He explains that in the Fifth Astral Era, the city-state of Nym would used military formation consisting of marauders supported by a single scholar and their companion fairy. He intends to study more on these tactics by intercepting a bandit shipment in Eastern La Noscea.

Fending off the brigands, he opens a chest containing an enigmatic Soul Crystal. Once the player holds it, a fairy suddenly emerges, seemingly having "chosen" the player and reveals two forms: Eos and Selene. Alka Zolka excitedly encourages the player to focus on the arts contained in the soul crystal and utilize the fairy for support.
