Grim Seeker

“

We may not be able to protect all thirteen Apostles, but we'll protect at least on of them. Hopefully he'll save us from destruction.

The Grim Seekers are an organization whose goals are to protect the Apostles and subsequently prevent the fall of Arad, putting them at odds with Hilder. They have connections to the Valley of Fallen Souls.

It was founded by former resident of Terra, Azalea Lott.

History

After the Castle of the Dead is revealed, several members of the Grim Seekers travel to Zelva to investigate along with the Joint Investigation Group and Adventurer's Guild. However, upon discovering the threat that Luke poses, the groups quickly realize they do not have the same goals. The position of the Grim Seekers is that while Luke currently poses a threat to Arad and Empyrean it is vitally important to try to resolve the situation peacefully - without killing Luke - to avoid forwarding Hilder's goals.

When this conflict arises, the player is required to join one and only one of the three groups - the Joint Investigation Group, Adventurer's Guild, and Grim Seekers. If the player chooses to join the Grim Seekers, they will report directly to Azalea and work towards resolving the situation with Luke peacefully.

After the death of Luke at the hands of either Vaughn Walshuted and Hilder (if the player is a member of the Grim Seekers) or the player themself (if they are a member of the Joint Investigation Group or Adventurer's Guild), a splinter faction of the Grim Seekers blames their leader Azalea for Luke's death, in addition to Delezie's earlier death. As a result, they kill Azalea when she wanders back into the Castle of the Dead.
