Either Devon's instructions were so vague that we ended up heading in the wrong direction entirely or both the location of the sorcerers and Argentrock Isle are found by heading in the same direction, either way we're not where we want to be for seeking an end to Hydros's attack on Tenebrae and the island of Pagan... or are we? The followers of Stratos might not be a bad group to ask assistance from as the power of the wind can blow away the storm clouds Hydros summons to flood the land. It wouldn't deal with the issue entirely but it would provide a temporary reprieve, buying time so that we can find a definite solution to the problem the people of Tenebrae face, all because we freed Hydros. Though right now it may seem like doing that was a bad idea, it gives us the possibility of defeating the titan and ending her threat to the world once and for all, something we were less able to do while she was in her own temple. We don't have the power to best her yet but hopefully we will in time.

We also need to master the powers of each titan if we hope to become the titan of ether, so staying on Argentrock Isle and learning the ways of the theurgists works towards our long term goal. We all the power of the titans we can get and so we must seek membership of the order of enlightenment and with it the power of Stratos. So far the theurgists seem nice and reasonable people, seeking only to heal the ill and aid the people of the island, all noble causes indeed. Perhaps Stratos is just as noble as her followers are, that or she's concealing some evil scheme that we'll need to discover.

The first test on the path of enlightenment was easy enough, so the others are bound be as simple right?
