- No. I chained myself to a bottle for several years. Then one day, I learned that I was dead. So I never went back. This book is now all that I am.

-- But that still doesn't tell me what you are really doing here? Who is this "Vanitan"?

- Vanitan digs a tunnel. He seeks the arkium reserve of Rikmon.
-- The arkium reserve?

- The Dallusians' arkium was kept at Rikmon, and despite the destruction of the city by Northalia to end the war, it is assuredly still there...

- The color of the soil, the lack of vegetation, this apparent haze in a dry air, these are signs that don't lie. This is here, somewhere beneath our feet, and Vanitan wants it.
