When Colors Fade
A vibrant painting in the wild, a landscape drained of its colors, and a mysterious, suspicious communication...
What is the true intent behind the caller? Head to Egla Town and speak with her to uncover the truth.
Quest List
Rover:
(A call from an unknown contact... What could it be?)
???:
Hey, is it Rover? I hope I've finally reached the right person...
???:
Hello, I'm Vida, running a modest business in Egla Town.
Vida:
Have you come across these paintings of vibrant colors standing in a dreary field in the wild?
Vida:
Sure, it seems you've encountered them already. The Pioneer Association refers to those Tacet Discords as "Overflowing Palettes," and the areas they affect are known as "Faded Zones."
Vida:
Such strange phenomena have quietly spread throughout Rinascita, leaving ordinary people completely helpless…
Vida:
Wait... you did? I knew you were the right person to talk to.
Vida:
Please find me in Egla Town when you have a moment. I have a favor to ask of you and we can discuss the details when we meet.
Rover:
(The call has ended.)
Abby:
Yawn—Just woke up and already hear you guys chatting...
Abby:
Wait a minute, this person seems suspicious. How does she know your contact details?
Vida:
You're here at last! I was just wondering how much longer I'd have to wait.
Vida:
Because... 'Here's to a world of discoveries and wonders.'
Abby:
Hmm, sounds familiar. Isn't that the slogan of the Pioneer Association?
Vida:
I used to be. Back when I was a traveling merchant, I also worked briefly as a contract photographer for the Pioneer Association, capturing landscapes along the trade routes to earn some travel expenses.
Vida:
Now... as you can see, those strange phenomena have drained the color from many places, making it harder to capture great photos. I've settled down and opened my own shop, so I haven't renewed my contract.
Vida:
But deep down, I am still unable to move past the faded landscapes.
Vida:
Always feels like a breeze to chat with a sharp mind like yours. That is exactly why I got your contact from a former colleague. After all, no one wants the places in their memories to be covered in dull patches, right?
Vida:
If we can only see those familiar landscapes in photos from now on... it's a depressing thought, isn't it?
Vida:
Certainly, I wouldn't expect you to help for free. The Faded Zones often hold abundant mineral deposits and resources. But they can't be accessed due to the influence of the Overflowing Palettes.
Vida:
Restoring the zones will not only bring back the colors but also the resources. You can trade them with me for some... rare items on the market.
Abby:
Sounds like this is her true intention...
Vida:
As a merchant, it's my fundamental skill. So, what do you think? Those goods and offers are exclusively for partners.
Vida:
Alright, take a look at what's on the shelves. The resources are just what you need right now.
Vida:
Thank you for your patronage. From now on, we're long-term business partners.
Vida:
Let's work together to reclaim the natural colors of our world!
Vida:
Oh, right, is there anything else you want to ask? For an important partner like you, I'm always an open book.
Vida:
In my travels across Rinascita, I've built a network of business contacts, many of whom provide me with unique supplies.
Vida:
Some items, however, have yet to hit the market for various reasons, such as a master chef's secret recipes or some efficacious alternative medicine developed by folks...
Vida:
Relax. No one's going to come knocking at your door. And even if they do... I'm sure you can handle it, right?
Vida:
Ragunna has a shop called "Rosemary's Apothecary," perhaps you've visited it already. Its owner, Miss Rosemary, is an old client of mine. I wonder if you've noticed—
Vida:
Her behavior sometimes changes, doesn't it?
Vida:
I've heard from the elders in town that at the end of Whisperwind Haven lies a mystical island, surrounded by a circular forest encasing a mirror-like lake.
Vida:
The lake, with its mirror-like calmness, is said to reveal one's "inner self."
Vida:
It seems... no one has actually reached there yet.
