Where There is Smoke

Choi Jina got nervous. That's because Empress Ak had called her secretly to her place. A few years ago, after 20 years' regency by the empress Dowager had ended, the emperor declared his rule, but the empress Dowager was still holding power. The bureaucrats in the Royal Court were still reporting national matters to the empress Dowager and obeyed her rather than a dummy emperor who only indulged himself in parties and pleasure. Over the partition, Empress Ak's voice was heard. "I heard that you are investigating Phantom Herb smuggling in Gunwon City. You are doing a great service to us as the Inspector Chief."

1. Find Choi Jina in the Tyrian Storehouse

2. Rescue Choi Jina and speak with her
 * "Your timing is excellent. I trust you released the captives? Wait, are you all right? You must have inhaled the Wraithbloom smoke."
 * I'm fine.
 * "If you say so. If you can see straight and still fight, you're probably on the mend. How did you manage to find me?"
 * I spoke with Sojun.
 * "Sojun managed to escape? Good. When the Cultists found my badge with a false identity, they turned on us. I should have been more vigilant, but I can't leave now. The Tyrian Cult is brokering a deal with the Yonkai Brigade. I must gather whatever intelligence I can. Yonkai would never broker a deal without getting something in writing. If we can obtain some sort of written record, I will have all the evidence I need to prosecute the cult. (Honor must always outweigh fear.)"

4. Defeat Goltak and Sunna and obtain the Ledger

5. Speak with Choi Jina
 * "Thank you for your assistance. I feel that I can trust you now. I was sent here to bring in Gwihan, the Tyrian High Cleric. He was once a member of the Stratus Royal Court, but when allegations of corruption surfaced, he fled the Capital with Mushin's Compass. The Compass was built for the Mu family, the noble family that descended from Mushin himself. The needle of Mushin's Compass always points to Mushin's Heir. Meanwhile, Colonel Yonkai is tearing the desert apart, searching for Naryu Sarasva, an ancient tome that chronicles the death of Mushin and the vessel that now holds his Divine power. This entire region has descended into madness. We must destroy the Wraithbloom crop and uproot the Tyrian Cult."
