Story

Orim of the Shadow
Map: where Orim stands

Then take a look at this. It is something that I found in the Cruma Tower one day. A cube made out of a mysterious substance. They say that the Wizards of the ancient kingdom called it a 'spirit container' because it could hold a dead person's spirit in it. That is how they tried to keep all the great scholars and philosophers' knowledge and experience.

This box right here contains the spirit of Magus Aklantoth in the days of Elmoreden. Recently, he woke up from his 1,000-year sleep. It is faint, but clear enough... I hear his voice, calling me... He has promised to teach me all he knows in magic if I free his spirit from the box. You can always rely on a Wizard's word... So, what we need to do is open this box, and we'll have access to the secrets of black magic from the age of the empire.

This box is sealed with magic power and can never be opened through physical power. See these 6 grooves, one on each side of the box? Each is a lock. To open the box, each must be unlocked by inserting the right jewelry in the right order. Even the process of opening the box itself is a riddle!

Look here in this bookof pictures of the jewelry required. Your task is to find the 6 pieces of jewelry that act as keys.While you are gone, I will try to determine the order of insertion.

I have heard a rumor that several pieces of jewelry cut in the imperial style were up for auction at the Giran Town Luxury Shop. Why not travel there first and have a look?

Here, take this Dimension Diamond. You can trade it to the village gatekeeper for something special that may help you on your journey.
