This is the first quest you get when you arrive in ArionRO. A man named Ren will welcome you and kick off the main story. You will meet some important people and make your first big choice at the end.
💡Do this quest before anything else. It gives you your first coins and sets up the whole story.
Getting to the Arion Hub
All story NPCs live in the Arion Hub, a separate area away from the main city bustle. To reach it, look for the Arion Hub portal in Prontera near coordinates 156, 191. A shimmering notice reads "Arion Hub" -- walk up to it and step through. You can also type

He gives you 10 Red Potion to help you get started.

She is standing nearby in the same hub area. She wears a slate-grey jacket and never seems to be off duty.

She asks you: Bring me 3 Jellopy.

Porings are small pink blob monsters. They are easy to find just outside Prontera on the surrounding fields. They are not dangerous for a new player.
Walk around and kill them. When a Jellopy drops, pick it up. Keep going until you have 3 Jellopy in your bag.

Kairo is a man who was pushed out of the Guild for saying things they did not like. He thinks the Veil situation is much worse than the Guild admits.
He asks for 5 Fluff -- static left behind by the Veil tears in the fields.

Fluff drops from small field monsters near Prontera. Go out and collect 5 pieces, then come back to the hub.

This is the big moment of Chapter I. Walk to The Crossroads in the hub and talk to the Chronicler there.
He asks: Where do you stand?
You have two choices:
- "Report Kairo to the Guild" -- You side with the Resonant Guild (order, loyalty).
- "Keep his secret" -- You side with the Seekers (truth, independence).
There is no wrong answer. Both paths continue the story in Chapter II. Your choice shapes which quests and storylines you see later.
