Job Description: After deciphering the page, you find that it is a letter, inviting the cultist to the embrace ritual. The details of this ritual are nonexistent on the letter, but it does give you the location. A particular alleyway in Bosco. After the long journey, you reach the alleyway but only see a wall. Upon further investigation, you discover that through the use of technology, the wall is blocking a door.
Once inside you see a very large ritual circle, more complex than the one you saw beforehand. There is a single pedestal with a black stone resting on it. Along the edge of the circle are seven items. Some items are easily identified as crushed lacrima, silver flowers, and skulls, but some appear to be different types of ground, sliced flesh, and other things that would ward most people off. You see a cultist in the center of the circle and more cultists around the circle, chanting along with him in the ancient language. When you approach the man in the center loses his body, seeming to be turned into base materials while his soul enters the black stone on the pedestal. The other cultists notice you and attack.
Upon defeating the cultists, the black stone shatters, and the materials reforge into a skeletal being the soul enters in. You see some form of lich before you that summons up the undead to fight alongside him. You must kill the lich.
Once the lich is dead, you see the not-young girl approach, seeming to be slightly impressed, or impressed with your work, depending on how well the fight ended for you, as well as how quickly you finished him off, she informs you that you could be of some help to her and gives you the location of where the high cultists live. The location, she says, is the silent cemetery. If you ask her why you would help her she will tell you what your character(s) need to hear in order to go and face them. If you ask why she is helping them, she simply says it's in her interests as well as yours. She then leaves without you noticing.
If you explore and look for more clues, you discover a map of the fourteen lands, showing where all the ley lines are. As it turns out, not only are you standing on one such location, but there’s also a ley line that moves directly through Fiore. In addition, you will discover that in their religion, they worship every God, demigod, and demon of death there is in existence.
