Cassius Quentus, operating under the guise of his death, is offering patronage through the Hypnos Choir for the restoration of the ruined Mementos Colosseum. Meanwhile, Lady Bell-Drop Crennes opens an offer to prospecting adventurers to recover House Heirlooms, Trinkets, and Relics from this otherwise culturally significant site.

The horns of Kóris Ekteinō blare their somber calls and all interest beckons to the front of expedition and restoration. In the fallen Istories Ichni, the once "Market of Glories" has long been silenced since the eruption that claimed it during the Infernal War. Now only curses and hallow shells move about the streets there. In the height of Narcissus during an age where gods were recent to flee this plane, there stood the Kleios Agora—where marble pavilions enshrined the feats of mortals and demi-gods alike. 

Here, one could walk among the laurelled statues of arena champions, hear the philosophers in open discourse, or buy relics blessed by a dozen shrines. It was a sanctum of triumph and tale, where the many forms of glory were offered to the gods—and traded amongst mortals with awe. Now, this same ground is whispered of as the "Pale Vale Circuit". A hollow loop of cracked stones and crumbling halls, where ash chokes the statues and memory turns hostile. 

What was once glorious now lies buried beneath ruin—and the few who return from within do so changed, trailing whispers and weeping blue flame. Come now sons and daughters of Ichoros! Come at the beckon of blood and glories lost! For now begins the work to earn those places which our forbearers gave all to bless us with. Tarnished & Fallen are our halls of culture and revelry, but ignited shall be the spirit that grasps back from our shame what was once lost.
