Aspirant Akimos
Aspirant Akimos
XP: 8,050
Rewards:
23 40

Objectives

Challenge Athanos.

Description

I can see from the way you fight that you were a skilled combatant in your previous existence.

You will need that skill while you are here. In addition to sparring to clear our minds, we have had a need to defend ourselves in the past.

I wish to see what you are truly capable of. In this arena you will find a more challenging opponent.

Fight well and know that we are watching.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 23 40
• 8,050 XP

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

• Aspiring Defender's Striders
•  [Sparring Trainer's Gloves]

Completion

This is always a painful lesson. We do not think less of you for it.

Notes

Accepting the quest

Aspirant Akimos says: Archon's eyes upon you, <name>.

Pelagos says: And good luck!

Kleia says: They may not need it. Wait and see.

Defeat by Athanos

Athanos says: Your efforts are insufficient, Aspirant.

Pelagos says: That never does get easier to watch. Are you alright?

Aspirant Akimos says: They lasted longer than most.

Kleia says: A necessary lesson in humility, nonetheless.
