Mission Orders: The ambassador's plan is more sinister than imagined. He infused your soul with darkness in an attempt to hinder you. Yet you have been left with a tiny song of hope--what could it mean?

Walkthrough
Note: Most of the mobs in Reisenjima will aggro and some even have True Sight or True Sound (see Reisenjima#Adversaries.)
- Travel to the Crag of Holla, Dem, or Mea and examine the Dimensional Portal. You will receive the option to travel to Reisenjima.
- Upon arrival, you will receive a brief cutscene.
- Speak with Shiftrix, the goblin by the entrance, (you don't need to pay for info) to activate the Oseem augmentation system.
- Make your way to the Etched Rock at (K-9) for a cutscene.
- Simply follow the path. The Etched Rock is at the far end and there is no shortcut.
- One shortcut does exist, by using Cumulus Masque +1 (synthesized from two Cumulus Masque acquired from a Monthly Adventurer Campaign or other seasonal distributions). It works as of this mission, and places you right by #6. Get #1 prior to using the item for a return trip (there's no Eschan Droplet by #6), use the Cumulus Masque +1, and pick up the Ethereal Ingress #6 being careful not to get aggroed.
- It is also a good idea to collect the all 6 Ethereal Ingress locations on the way, or at least #1, #2, #5, and #6. They do not blink when not yet acquired, unlike other teleport points, and most are on or close to the path, with #3 and #4 (the two in the north west) being the only substantial detour.
- Note that more than the first six exist: #7 is associated with Domain Invasion / Quetzalcoatl, #9 is south down the river starting from #5 and has ???s useful for Geas Fete, and the other two can't be unlocked just yet.
