Duality is a main quest in Wayfinder.
Description[edit]
Start
While Lord Halar studies the Conflux Arc, Omen wants you to travel to the Repository of Knowledge and learn what you can.
Active
Lord Halar is studying the Conflux Arc, a device which he believes may have triggered Aurelian's collapse. It may take him some time to unravel its secrets. Travel to the Repository of Knowledge and learn what you can about the Precursors and their connection to the Silver Codex in the meantime.
Clear
You fought your way through the Repository of Knowledge, and the knowledge gained there has led Omen to believe the First survived and lingers in the Repository. Your Gloom Dagger has been enhanced by Omen and Lord Halar; perhaps you can use it to reach the First.

Dialogue[edit]
Lord Halar is still studying this Conflux Arc. But we have a minor victory. Your brush with the First gave us the traces we need—you now have a connection to the Repository of Knowledge.
The entrance is deep in the Highlands, past the Crossroads Foundry and the Ironstone Keep. Luck be with you, my friend.
So this is the Repository of Knowledge. Perhaps it's just because of all the time I've spent watching you in Aurelian... but it feels so familiar.
Be careful, my friend. This is where the Codex and the First worked directly with the Gloom. There's no telling what dangers may lie ahead.
I know these halls. Floors scratched by fallen tools, the tang of arcanic energies in the air. Worried whispers, initiates racing to the next experiment, secrets waiting to be found...
Omen? Are you all right?
Yes. Yes. Sorry, my friend. I don't know what came over me. I've never been here, and yet I feel as though I know it. Don't let me distract you—focus on the mission.
Could you sense it? Could you feel her presence?
Sense who?
The First. The mind behind the Silver Codex. Somehow... I'm certain she survived the collapse. She's there, somewhere, in the Gloom. I could feel her through our link.
Feel her? How?
I don't... perhaps I'm just imagining things. I don't sleep much, anymore. I'm sorry, Wayfinder, I just need some time. Go to Lord Halar. I believe he has news.
There you are! This is a wondrous thing. An elemental conflux, indeed! This First, she flooded the region with a vast surge of Chaos and Shadow energies. It triggered, well, a Gloom collapse!
I can't recreate the device, and just as well; we wouldn't want one of these loose in the world! But I am working with the principles of it, the pieces of it... and I've had a breakthrough!
Use the Echo Matrix. Combine the Conflux Arc with your Gloom Dagger. If I'm correct, it will let you use two imbuements with the dagger, to twist the Gloom in greater ways!
It's not yet what we need—not yet a tool that can undo the damage and rebuild the world—but as we learn to manipulate the Gloom, we move ever closer to that goal.
Apologies, my friend. I've recovered from—whatever that was to me. Bring your dagger to me and I'll finish what Lord Halar has started.
Let's see what he's done with your dagger. Yes, beautiful work. Just give me a moment and I'll finalize the imbuement.
Take your time.
I thought I'd lost you, you know. All of you.
What do you mean?
When the Eldren attacked Skylight, when we faced the... Precursor. We'd been through so much together, though I suppose you still can't remember it.
No, not clearly. Vague memories.
There was no time to mourn. The world was broken by the Fall. It took all that I had to rally the new Seekers and fortify Skylight. It was months before I had a moment to study the Precursor's sword.
His sword?
Yes. I suppose you didn't know. The Precursor's sword could cut through the Gloom; it's how they breached the Gloom Gate.
It took time, but Lord Halar and I were able to break it down while preserving its power to shape the Gloom. That's how we made the Gloom Daggers; you have a shard of the Precursor's sword.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I had to try. Somehow I knew you were still out there, that your echo remained. I knew that with the right tool I could bring you back, all of you. And here we are, in the last days of our world.
Thanks for fighting for us.
That's what we do, isn't it? Even when victory seems like an impossible dream.
But let us return to the fight. Let's see what this Conflux Arc can do. Perhaps we can make this dream reality.
