Previously, the party visited the town of Quelb and met Kelger, one of Galuf's companions. Then, they went to Drakenvale. They defeated the Dragon Pod and its Dragon Flowers and obtained the Dragon Grass. They also rescued Golem and learned the Golem summon spell. Now, they will administer the Dragon Grass to Krile's wind drake at the Castle of Bal.

Galuf's World - World Map:

The party resumes outside the Castle of Bal in Galuf's world. They enter the castle.

Castle of Bal (time 0:31):

As the party approaches the gate, a scene takes place. The guards are doing their jobs so well that the party needs to find a different way in. They hop into the moat automatically. In the northwest corner, they hit the switch to get taken to the pool in the southwest of the courtyard.

A few of the castle's residents have new dialogue. The party stops at the inn to get some rest.

On floor 3F of the main keep, the party enters Krile's room for a scene.

The party heads up to the wind drake's roost. When they talk to the wind drake, another scene takes place. Eventually, the party takes off on the wind drake.

World Map (time 12:19):

The party is mounted on the wind drake outside the Castle of Bal. Now, they must visit Ghido.

The party flies north. When they reach Drakenvale, they head east and north until they leave the continent. They quickly find a small island off the coast. They land and approach Ghido's cave.

Ghido's Cave (time 10:40):

As the party arrives, a scene takes place. Confound that Exdeath!

World Map (time 12:06):

After the scene, the party is mounted on the wind drake over the island that just sank. They return to the Castle of Bal.

Castle of Bal (time 12:27):

The party chats with the castle's denizens again. Only a couple have changed dialogue. One soldier in the throne room talks about Xezat of Surgate Castle, who is assaulting Exdeath. Interesting.

The party heads out.

World Map (time 14:18):

The party flies back out to sea. West of the sunken island, they find a new castle on a landmass north of Drakenvale. They enter Surgate Castle.

Surgate Castle (time 14:44):

When the party operates the switch next to the castle gate, a sequence of cutscenes takes place. The Chief Guard explains the situation and leads them to the throne room.

The party regains control in the throne room. King Xezat is out.

The party takes the northwestern stairway. Outside, they follow the walkway north.

The party arrives on floor 3F. They go down the stairs to find the Library on floor 2F. The scholars here speak of a curious tome. It sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it?

The party descends the next stairway to floor 1F of the Library. They talk to the librarian. Three books have been left out on the desks. The librarian asks the party to put them away. Pretty self-explanatory. "Weird Ronka" goes on the W-X Shelf. "Register of Monsters" goes on the R-S Shelf. "Forbidden Book" goes on the D-F Shelf. When the party talks to the librarian again, she opens the door to her room.

The party follows the path to the librarian's room. They arrive in the eastern room on floor 2F of the Library. There, the librarian gives a hint.

The party descends the next stairway. They reach the eastern room on floor 1F. In the southeast corner, a chest contains 5,000 gil. The old man here has a tale to tell.

The party goes out the southern door to find a courtyard. They go west under the bridge. They go through the door up the stairs.

The party reaches a hallway in the west of floor 2F of the Library. The next stairway takes them to the western room on floor 1F. The chest contains the Time Magic spell Float. Floating party members avoid damage from damage floors and Earth-elemental magic.

The party backtracks through the Library to the Throne Room. They go up the stairway in the southwest.

The party reaches the King's Chamber. They examine the book on the western table. They learn the Bard song Swift Song. Swift Song speeds up the rest of the party while it is being performed.

From the Throne Room, the party takes the eastern stairway down to floor B1. They chat with the guards here for a little information.

The party continues down the next stairway to floor B2, a center of commerce. The inn charges 60 gil per night. At the weapon shop, the party picks up a selection of the new items: a Heavy Lance, an Osafune, and a Poison Axe. Bartz equips the Osafune. The armor shop, the magic shop merchants, and the item shop merchants have nothing new.

From the Throne Room, the party takes the south-central exit. They continue south and leave the castle.

The description is continued in the comments.
