Quiet Lands

The Quiet Lands is a location in Tales of Legendia. It is located underneath Werites Beacon and can only be accessed via the elevator in the lighthouse.

Geography
It is a landmass with several islands connected by bridges. It has four monument dungeons in each direction; the Fire Monument to the south, the Ice Monument to the north, the Thunder Monument to the east, and the Earth Monument to the west. There is a coastline where the group can rest and restock supplies from an Oresoren merchant. Near the Thunder Monument is a beach with a Geoglyph depicting the story of the Legacy. A Tram near the elevator can be used to access the Mirage Palace and Wings of Light dungeons.

Main Quest
After a long fall, Senel Coolidge hears waves in the distance and heads there with everyone. Norma Beatty wakes up after dreaming that she fell from a high place, only to have Grune point out that the sky was very interesting. The group finds a sea, but it is the first time they see a sea this calm. As they stare out at the water, Norma rushes up to the others and points up to the sky. Everyone is surprised to see that the sky is closed up.

Jay figures out that they are underneath the Legacy, specifically underneath the lighthouse. The huge tower they were at was actually an elevator and Will Raynard was surprised that a huge underground cavern like this existed. Just then, Senel's fists started glowing. After trying out a Demon Fist on Moses Sandor, it looked like he could use Eres again. Norma tries out a Grave spell, which worked perfectly. Moses didn't want to become a target, so he told everyone to try aiming it elsewhere. After seeing that they could use Eres here, Moses rushes out to face the sentinels only to come back beaten and bruised and told everyone that his Eres stopped working when he got back to the surface. Everyone reviews what happened so far: Shirley Fennes became the Merines after performing the Rite of Accession ritual, and after that everyone lost the ability to use Eres. Jay suggests trying to ascertain who or what Nerifes is in order to find the truth. Just then, Senel sees an image flash in his mind. It was no accident they wound up here, and they may be able to find a way out of this situation. But that still left one question: what to do with Grune? Though everyone is a bit worried, they decide to let her come along with them. Jay thinks to himself that they may have been led here by someone...

Fire Monument
After everyone heads to the southern Fire Monument, they find that this place is the same image that everyone saw in their minds, not just Senel. After searching around, they find a console with writing on it but it is not Relares. After a swift kick from Norma, the path inside opens up. Inside, they find the temperature inside is very, very hot as if they were walking through a desert. Will suggests trying to find any sort of clue they can find inside this place.

As they continue searching, they find a strange object emitting a bright light. As Senel and Chloe Valens reach out and touch it, another image flashed through their minds. It was a white rectangular object floating in the ocean. After touching another one, the image was a rectangular object with patches of dirt. After the third one, they see the same shape only this time it was covered in earth. At the next room, everyone takes a break and tries to figure out how these images keep appearing in their minds and what they were seeing, but come up with nothing. In the next room, they find a fourth light at the end of the hallway. After touching it, they find themselves at Lumen Spring. As searched around, they find the ruins completely restored and the trees are still saplings. They see a shadowy figure that looks like Shirley and Senel chases after it. They find other Ferines there and they suddenly disappear. The scenery suddenly changes again and they find themselves facing a Volcano Gaet. Will was disappointed when he didn't get a chance to thoroughly study the legendary creature, but the scene suddenly changed yet again. They hear voices talking about the Merines and the "Wings of Light". An image showed the white object transform into a giant landmass. A voice then goes to say that she will leave the future to the next Merines and that the people are now Terises.

They find themselves outside the Fire Monument and suddenly feel exhausted. Pippo, Poppo, and Quppo find them there and says that they have set up a camp on the coast. A tablet appears next to them containing an image of a ship. As soon as they arrive, they immediately drop in exhaustion. As soon as they wake up, they find that the whole area got dark. Jay conveys some news to everyone after chatting with the brothers; the war has not begun yet, but sentinels have surrounded Werites Beacon. When Chloe asked what those images they saw were, Jay guessed that it was showing them the birth of the Kingdom of Terises and that the white object they saw was the basis for the Legacy. This was most likely a ship, and it was the power of the Merines that made it possible. Will is very curious about the "Wings of Light" mentioned earlier and why a legendary Gaet appeared right before their eyes.

Jay wonders why the Ferines had to create an entire island on their own, but Senel says that they must have a homeland somewhere and must have had a good reason for abandoning it. If what he says is true, that still leaves the question of why they had to abandon their homeland. Just then, another image flowed into their minds of another place. Jay thinks that they are being led by someone and that someone could be listening in on their conversations. After Will gives advice to be on guard, everyone turns in for the night and decide to head for the new place in the morning. Prior to the events of the game, Senel and Shirley hide out inside an empty house until Stella Telmes arrives for them. When Shirley asked why he is doing this for her, a thought came to him that maybe he was trying to atone for something or something else, but he answered that he was doing this to keep her safe and protect her.

In the morning, Jay was talking with the Oresoren brothers and told everyone what he learned. This place is known as the Quiet Lands spoken in Oresoren legend, once visited by the Oresoren hero Capoeiracco. Supposedly, it was a quiet land with a quiet sea and that the "Trail of the Heavens" is somewhere in here. While they look into it, the others head for their next destination.
