407 xenoblade - talia, war god statue lore and affinities with research partners

Dear Readers,

I took an interest in the War God statue thing that Talia was talking about. I decided to chat with her research partners Ruthan and Naroth.

Ruthan was south of the Palace entrance at night. He appreciated us helping Talia out and wanted to continue the research on the War God statue. They realised the one in Satori Marsh was a fake and they wanted to continue deciphering the texts.

Naroth was at the north fountain during the day. He appreciated us saving Talia as well and said her proactive approach was invaluable for their research. He also collaborated with Zain.

Zain was near the Fountain of Eternity during the day and said he was pen pals with Talia. They had common ground with regards to finding things on travels so this helped with the War God statue research as well.

Seemingly innocuous chats, but it all updated stuff on the affinity chart. It'll all build toward something and it's one of the rare times I found something in the game interesting.
