Plot

Main article: The Inner Sanctum/Script

At the entrance to the temple, a bishop explains that it was built to worship the Manaketes, housing their valuable burial goods. However, a group of powerful grave robbers and the like had begun looting it, now reaching the innermost sanctum where the Manaketes themselves are buried. The bishop then urges Alm or Celica's party to defeat the temple's interlopers.

Summary

Dangerous foes lurk in the depths of the Astral Temple, but so do in-game items of incredible value. Will you take the leap?
