Wind Breeze Merchants

"How about introducing us to Kochi? Tell him we're righteous Daeva who saved you."

You headed to the Dawn Legion Base in Tolbas Forest to meet the Shugo Merchant Kochi, who had dealings with Reda. The abandoned legion outpost was in chaos, with the Shugo under attack by the Aullaeu. After fighting off the Aullaeu and rescuing the Shugo, you learned they were Kochi's employees, currently caught in a power struggle with the Aullaeu over control of Tolbas Forest.

Caelid decided to listen to the Shugo Merchant Bao's demands for the time being, hoping to learn more about Reda and Kochi.
