Story
Template:Spoilers
The Carnelian Signet activates.
At the start of the game, Cecil Harvey has completed his mission to bring the Water Crystal from Mysidia to Baron. However, when Cecil begins to question the motives of the King, he is dismissed from his post with the Red Wings and is ordered to deliver a carnelian signet to the village of Mist. Kain Highwind is also ordered to accompany Cecil.
The journey to nearby Mist is simple, with Cecil and Kain only passing through the Mist Cave and slaying the Mist Dragon at the cave's end. However, once they arrive at Mist, the signet suddenly activates and Bombs are released to set the village on fire. Cecil and Kain realize that the king had lured them into a trap, resulting in the purging of the resident summoners.

Trivia
- "Carnelian Signet" was an updated term for the translation of the Nintendo DS release. Tom Slattery commented that the original term "Bomb Ring" would give away the plot twist of the item's true purpose. [1]
