Star Sybil: ...Is it possible you have...? Have you found Karaha-Baruha's ring? The one that was lost all those years ago?
Star Sybil: Well, then. I should explain about this place.
Star Sybil: This is the Animastery. It is the hidden sixth ministry, and was built almost twenty-five years ago.
Star Sybil: The one who conducted his research here said this to me thirty years ago:
"The art of drawing magical power from the well of nature has been taken as far as it can go."
Star Sybil: He formulated a theory for drawing magical power from living beings, as opposed to nature. This magic would manifest the same amount of power as the creature it was drawn from.
Star Sybil: ...This new magical theory had the potential to threaten the lives of living beings, and so there were voices of opposition from among the five existing ministries.
Star Sybil: However, we were in need of power. The power that could be gained from normal creatures was insufficient. We needed the near limitless energy that could be harnessed from a truly awesome entity...
Star Sybil: Windurst was delivered from obliteration by that very power. But the price we paid for it... I'm sure you are aware of what we lost...
Star Sybil: Please take the time to read the books here before you leave. If it was Karaha-Baruha's star that led you to this place, then I will not hold this trespass against you.
Star Sybil: However, citizens of Windurst are forbidden to proceed past the Sealed Portal of the central tower. If you continue past this point, I will reconsider the matter of punishment.
Star Sybil: I see it now, (Player Name)...
You have a star to guide you.
