High Entia History

High Entia History is a Heart-to-Heart in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is located at the Sororal Statues in Satorl Marsh. This Heart-to-Heart can be seen only when Dunban and Melia are at purple affinity or above and if they are both in the active party.

Introduction
Dunban: Those statues... Am I right in thinking they are of High Entia origin?

Melia: They are indeed. These are the Sororal Statues. They depict twin goddesses representing order and justice.

Dunban: A treacherous place to erect them.

Melia: This place was once used for our Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Dunban: [That seems fitting.]

Melia: Potential successors to the throne who came of age were left here. If they survived, they could return to the capital, triumphant.

Dunban: I see. So only the best specimens continued the imperial line. Ruthless but effective.

Melia: That is what I was told, at least. It was probably all just a formality.

Dunban: Of course. Fighting off the Satorl Guardian alone is no easy task.

Melia: However, I have heard of a former ruler who did see the task through.

Dunban: [A half-Homs like you?]

Melia: Very astute, Dunban. Not a pleasant fact, but still true.

Dunban: I find it ironic. Goddesses of order and justice looking down with biased gazes.

Melia: Still, I can understand why the ceremony was necessary. It must have been the only way to secure the people’s trust.

Dunban: The same reason you faced the Tomb, right?

Melia: ...

Dunban: Calm yourself, Melia. Whenever you feel afraid, know that we’re here to protect you.

Melia: I know, Dunban. You saved my life at the Tomb. I will never forget the debt I owe you and the others.

Dunban: [An adventurous one, no doubt.]

Melia: The participant has no choice in participating.

Dunban: Then it sounds as if they were simply being led to their death.

Melia: There must have been a reason for conducting the ceremony. Something that made it necessary in that particular case.

Dunban: Are you suggesting... this High Entia was of mixed blood?

Melia: Yes. The ceremony must have been needed to gain the people’s trust. Just as I faced the Tomb.

Dunban: Does this place remind you of the Tomb?

Melia: Yes. Of the hardship I faced there. And the friends that saved my life. I am forever grateful to you all.

Dunban: [Here?!]

Melia: Yes, here! What are you trying to suggest?! This site is a stunning example of High Entia architectural skill.

Dunban: I can’t deny that.

Melia: Oh no...!

Dunban: What’s wrong, Melia?

Melia: Each statue is supposed to have an ether crystal on its chest. But one of them is missing!

Dunban: Thankfully, the other statue’s crystal is still present.

Melia: I wonder what happened...

Dunban: [Perhaps it was stolen.] Many people with dubious reputations travel through here.

Melia: I have heard of such people. I don’t suppose we’ll ever see it again...

Dunban: Why don’t you replace it?

Melia: You’re right, Dunban. The twin goddesses of order and justice must look their part.

Dunban: Order and justice, huh? I am sure they’d be happy if you were to help them out.

Dunban: I can’t deny that.'''  Melia: Oh no...!'''

Dunban: Thankfully, the other statue’s crystal is still present.

Melia: I wonder what happened...

Dunban: [It might have fallen off.]

Melia: I have my doubts that such a thing is possible...

Dunban: Perhaps it was due to a flaw in the construction. Even the wise and skilled High Entia must have their off days.

Melia: Spare me your sarcasm, Dunban. Even if you are correct.

Dunban: Why don’t you replace the crystal? Bring the sisters back to glory! I’m sure you’re up to the task.

Melia: That is not a bad idea. What one sister has, the other craves. And we cannot have that!
