This is the fourth chapter of the Arion Story and the start of Season 1. After The Voice spoke in Chapter III, the Veil destabilized. Now Veil Rifts tear open across Midgard without warning, and both factions want to control them. Your quest depends on your faction, but the task is the same: find a Veil Rift, clear what crawls out, and seal it.
💡You must complete Chapter III (arion_chapter must be 3 or higher) before this quest opens. You also need a chosen faction from Chapter I.
âš ï¸This is the first chapter that requires active combat with a Rift event. Veil Rifts spawn on the field on their own schedule. Keep an eye on server announcements for when they open.
Getting to the Arion Hub
All story contacts are in the Arion Hub. Use the portal in Prontera near 156, 191, or type

He will give you your briefing based on your faction.

Guild players: The Warden tells you the Guild's answer is simple. You do not study a wound, you close it. Find a Veil Rift, hold the line against what crawls out, and seal it.
Seeker players: The Warden tells you he agrees with your curiosity, but you cannot read a rift from a safe distance. Seal one to feel how it answers. Note what you sense as it closes, then return.
Both paths set your quest flag (arion_q4 = 1) and send you to the field.
Find a Veil Rift on the field and seal it.
Veil Rifts open across Midgard on their own schedule during the season. When one appears:
- Go to the rift location (watch server announcements or the map for the event marker).
- Fight off the creatures spilling out of the tear (the "swarm").
- Kill the Rift Keeper that appears once the swarm is thinned.
- The rift seals when the Rift Keeper falls.

Once your rift score reaches 10 or more, go back to the Warden in the hub and talk to him.
Guild players: He tells you the seal held, and you did your duty. Then he says something harder: every rift closed means two more open. Containment is a war without an end you can see.
Seeker players: He says you sealed it, and felt it answer. Not just close, but answer, as if something on the far side noticed the silence. He says the Veil is not breaking at random. There is a pattern, and the season will show you more.

The Rift Warden's parting words differ by faction, but the meaning is the same: the season is only beginning, and the rifts are not stopping.
