The enormous Maple Sea had many names for various regions. Most of these were lost in the twin cataclysms of Masteria's disappearance and the Fall of the Fabled Continent, but one, the Korilan Sea, remained known, if only in Helvetia's legend as the ocean surrounding the Continent. The region near the Saravim Steppe shore is fairly tropical in nature, but it has been recently discovered that a trench separates this tropical shore from the rest of the Maple Sea. The Unforgiving Trench, as dubbed by the Aqui expedition, was never in Helvetia's legend, and the magical barrier that prevented the Nautilus from landing seemed to be emanating from the Trench. Perhaps in the future, more light can be shed on the Trench's origins...

The Saravim Steppes are like Henesys, except the grass is a bit yellower. The Aqui expedition has set up an outpost on a crossroads with routes in three directions, aptly named Aqui Outpost. One route, the Road to Vorenthos, once led to that port city, but a cliff seems to have collapsed shortly before Vorenthos Delta is reached...

The Northeast route seems to be haunted by spirits of various kinds, and inhabited by strange crocodile relatives. The swamp beyond was entered by a few members of the expedition, but none ever returned...

The North route leads to Saravim, where the Archbishop of Helvetia is reputed to be found. The expedition is blocked by what appear to be bandits, who call themselves the Nighthawks. Whoever they are, they are very powerful (the Grunts are Lvl 120), and it is not outside the realm of possibility that these Nighthawks are more than what they seem...

MP:300,000
Avoid:43
KB:10000
EXP:20,000,000
Boss:1
*Summons Nighthawk Grunts*
The Captain of the Nighthawk South Border Guard, Seos is also a Deadeye Hawk, who are sharpshooters in the Nighthawk hierarchy. His attacks vary depending on his amount of health left. Also, Seos doesn't die when defeated; he merely teleports out.
Attack 1 (100%-10%): Fires an all-map Arrow Rain, which knocks you away from Seos.
Attack 2 (100%-10%): Fires an all-map Arrow Eruption, which knocks you toward Seos and stuns.
Attack 3 (100%-10%): (only used immediately after Attack 2) Lunges his crossbow forward in PKB style. This attack does 20k, so keep your distance!
Attack 4 (always): Lunges his crossbow forward in PKB style. It super-knockbacks, stuns, and poisons.
Attack 5 (90%-50%): Fires 10 arrows in rapid succession (almost Hurricane speed). Each arrow does 1.5k, so be ready to pot!
Attack 6 (90%-0%): Hurls a Javalin at a random player. Does 1k.
Attack 7 (70%-50%): Throws 2-3 Steelys with Letter Bombs attached. Bombs similar to Arrow Bomb, except with 3k splash!
Attack 8 (50%-10%): Hurls a Grenade at you. Bombs similar to Arrow Bomb, except with no varied damage, and hits for 10k. Unlike the Steelys, the Grenade is thrown in an arc, so it is relatively easy to avoid. (at least in theory
Attack 9 (50%-10%): Fires 20 arrows in succession. Each does 1.5k and poisons, with one that does a worse amount of damage than his PKB.
Attack 10 (50%-10%): Fires one arrow that Pierces like Iron Arrow. Hits 3k and stuns, so be ready!
Attack 11 (50%-10%): Takes three seconds to charge, then fires one arrow that works like Snipe; eat it, you die. To dodge, press down, or put a meatshield in front of you; it doesn't Pierce. Easy to anticipate, but only if you see Seos do the charge animation. Again, pay close attention!
Attack 12 (10%-0%): Charges up, then throws a lightning spear at you. It Pierces, and does 6k, but again, you can duck under it.
Attack 13 (10%-0%): Casts a wave of lightning that starts next to him, then surges forward at an unholy speed (~120 speed). Does 20k, but if you stand directly under the portal platform in the center, it can't hit you. It is imperative that you keep Seos out from under the platform during the last 1.1 million HP.
Attack 14 (10%-0%): Fires Snipe Arrows in Hurricane fashion. All of them can 1hko you, and you must duck to avoid them. Occassionally he will pause briefly. You move forward now, since he will resume firing arrows about 5 seconds after he stops. He will be moving when he stops, so don't run into him. As soon as he is hit, he will be stunned for 5 seconds, before PKBing you back.
Attack 15 (1%-0%): He will throw ever larger Grenades at you periodically; they will start at normal size, then double in size with each coming Grenade, each doing the corresponding damage. After ~5-7 bombs, even the portal platform won't be safe, and you will sustain 100,000 damage! (it was originally 10 quintillion, but I thought that was way too much overkill He throws these Grenades about once per 2 minutes, so you have 10 minutes to wear down 1.1 mil HP. Keep in mind Attacks 12, 13, and 14 are still in effect...
Skill 1-4(100%-10%): Casts Blind, Slow, Curse, and Seduce.
Skill 5-9 (always): Casts Zombify, Seal, and Potion Block
Skill 10 (always): 1/1
Skill 11 (100%-5%, once per minute): heals 100k
Skill 12 (always): Summons 10 Nighthawk Grunts
ETC: Seal of Deadeye Hawk Captain Seos

Helvetia was thought of as a paradise; not perfect, but as close to one as could be in the Maple World. The continent was peaceful, and held neutral status during the first breakout of war against the Black Magician. This is not to say it was weak; the Archbishops of Saravim, the hardy sailors of Vorenthos, the Rafflesian Grays of the Baguin Crater Basin, and the Knights of Korilia, the center city of Helvetia, were reputed as extremely powerful, and the only ones powerful enough to think of defeating the Black Magician, especially after "the Alchemist" spirited away Masteria for 5000 years.
But, success was not to be. Some time after Masteria's disappearance, a mysterious force equally as powerful as those in Helvetia landed on the Fabled Continent. Contact between Vorenthos and Korilia was lost, and soon even Vorenthos no longer communicated with Magatia, then the only city in Ossyria. Rumors abounded, from a great explosion in Korilia, to the dethroning of King Velim, the monarch of Korilia and of Helvetia. However, with Ossyria on the rise, no further knowledge on Helvetia's condition, and no further attacks from the Black Magician, thoughts about Helvetia and Masteria faded, their names becoming legends in the Maple World.
Until now. The Nautilus sighted a distant continent far from Ossyria, while searching for the Black Magician. They were not able to approach futher, as a magic barrier prevented them from landing. But, the legend of Helvetia became real once more, though the Nautilus would not return to Victoria for some time yet. Now, though, Kenta of Aquarium has received Kyrin's information, and sent an expedition to Helvetia. Now is the time for Maplers to retake the Fabled Continent! But be careful what you wish for...

Quite a bit of time later, the traveler returned to Aqui Outpost, and discussed what Burchin had found out with him. All Burchin could figure out was that whoever cast the initial spell was extremely powerful, and that the machine seemed to be of Korilan design. "Perhaps the city is not as dead as we once thought. Whoever controls it now probably won't be very friendly to us, though." Burchin wanted to move on now to research monsters in the Saravim Steppes, but he also told the traveler that Tantther has started sending expedition members outwards around Aqui Outpost in a circle. Of them, only one, the eastern headed one, returned. "It will do us a favor if you bring both the items and communication of the parties involved back to us." The traveler, not wanting to disobey Tantther's word, agreed, and set out on his first true Helvetic expedition. Shortly thereafter, however, he realized he had been this way before, to hunt Snivelers. Anyhow, he soon arrived at a cliff, where the path seemed to have collapsed into the Korilan Sea. Artur, a shy expedition member, stood nearby. All Artur seemed to know was that they were on a road that formerly led to Vorenthos, but had since collapsed from disrepair or otherwise. For some reason, that didn't sound right to the traveler, but he passed it off as nothing and quickly collected the Sniveler Whiskers and a letter from Artur. After handing Burchin the whiskers and Tantther the letter, the traveler quickly got another mission: Head North-east, find the expedition party, collect some Seals of Velim for research purposes, then come back. The traveler was a little surprised to find some undead warriors wandering the path, but they were no problem for his now mighty powers. He was even more surprised to find Darkness Sprites, who were normally bonded to Nightwalkers at Ereb, wandering near a lone expedition member, Omar. After being reoriented, Omar told the traveler that the expedition had forged ahead into the swamp, but the party became lost, and soon some tried to find their way out alone. Needless to say, Omar was the only one to escape the haunted swamp, and he was very shaken up about it. He entrusted his letter to the traveler, who then started defeating the ghostly apparitions around Omar. The spectral warriors were quite easy, but the Darkness Sprites were annoyingly difficult, so the traveler was forced to leave them alone right now. He took the seals that some of the warriors left and quickly headed to Aqui Outpost, where he reported his findings to Burchin and Tantther. Tantther requested that the traveler defeat the Komodo Dragons that were on the path, and some of the Darkness Sprites that lay at the path's end. Burchin also wanted a Heart of Darkness that the Sprites were thought to have, so he could research into if they were actually true Sprites. After some more difficult fighting, the traveler reported yet another success, and was rewarded for his efforts.

Tantther later sent a message to the traveler, telling him that something had gone wrong on the north road. When the traveler arrived in Aqui, Tantther told him that a group of supposed bandits had taken the expedition party hostage. Tantther was attempting to negotiate terms with them, but he wanted the traveler to do it, in case something goes wrong. The traveler quickly headed to the bandits' camp, where their leader introduced himself as Seos. They were supposedly part of a far larger organization known as the Nighthawks, who controlled Helvetia for many miles to the north. Seos spat at the traveler's hopelessly pathetic terms, and ranted that the Nighthawks could easily crush Aqui Outpost, and it was just because of an internal conflict at Saravim that prevented them from doing so. Tantther, angered at Seos' blatent disregard for his terms, ordered the Outpost to prepare for a battle against the small Nighthawk camp. They managed to quickly defeat some of the Nighthawks, but they were disheartened when fresh reinforcements arrived the next day. Tantther realized that the only way to rout the Nighthawks was if Seos was taken out. A small group of expedition warriors fought and were soundly defeated by Seos' great mastery at a crossbow. Tantther asked the traveler to assemble another group, but a more powerful one, to defeat Seos. After a long, drawn-out, and exhausting battle, both sides were weary, but the traveler managed to defeat Seos. Before dealing a final blow, though, Seos managed to escape. Nonetheless, the expeditioners celebrated, for they had won victory over a skilled and tricky adversary!

Nearby, the cloaked figure smiled slightly, then quickly left...

"You think you're ready to explore a continent? Heh, so does half the Maple World population. Put simply, the Aqui Expedition just doesn't have enough resources to go and rescue everyone who wants to travel to Helvetia and ends up in trouble. It's an unknown continent, after all. That's why I'm here. I only let those who prove they can protect themselves to me beyond here. So, you think you're any different from everyone else? Prove it to me!"
-Shempa

"Yeah, I do have potions, but with supplies such a mess as they are, I don't really have much to offer you. I can offer you what I have though. So what's it gonna be?"
-Asulo, Aqui Outpost potion seller

"So, you were referred here by Kenta? Well, I don't care if you have special privileges given to you by the rest of the Maple World; you're gonna have to do something for me before our leader will trust you."
-Nytia

"Ah, our newest expedition member. Exploring a continent is not as glamorous as they make it out to be, no? Nonetheless, you carry out your missions well. We need to assign you to higher ranked missions than just supply mule. Let's see..."
-Tantther

"Hello, who are you? _______, it is? I'm Burchin, a researcher from Omega Sector here to research local wildlife, though I have some knowledge of Maple history, as well. I'm trying to carry out research on the creatures, but I need help gathering the monster parts. Wish to help me out?"
-Burchin

"Oh hello there... This is... umm...oh right! the road to V-Vorenthos, b-but this c-c-cliff here seems to have c-collapsed. S-Sorry for the st-st-stutter, its rreally cold up here t-tthough!"
-Artur

"AHH! Die you evil ghost... wha?, you're not one of those Fallen Heroes? Sorry, those Darkness Sprites have been causing much trouble for me... Anyways, this used to be an entrance to Vorenthos Delta, but 9 others were with me when we entered, but we got lost in the myre, and when I found my way out, everyone else had dissappeared! I wouldn't dare enter right now..."
-Omar

"Why should I listen to your petty demands? You control, what?, an outpost, while we hold control of Saravim Steppes from here on! We could easily crush your puny outpost, but we have other matters to attend to first. Yet, you're trying to manipulate us! Forget trying to make peace with you; the Nighthawks will make sure this Aqui Expedition will suffer!"
-Seos, Nighthawk Officer

Welcome all, to the first gathering of Maplers to Aqui Outpost, the first step in exploring the long thought lost Fabled Continent! We applaude all your hard work in setting up this outpost, for the perils of the Unforgiving Trench made even supplying us food a very difficult task! But, we have succeeded! We did what was shortly before thought impossible: Find, for the second time in history, a continent that only myth surrounded! We cannot believe that this journey is done; no, far from it!; but we should spend at least some time pondering the momentous events that have led us here, and give a sense of accomplishment! Our work is far from done; a secure supply line needs to be built; we must find Saravim or Vorenthos. But, my friends, we shall keep pushing, and we will lead ourselves to glory! Onward, to Saravim, then Korilia!
- The first State of the Continent speech, by Tantther

I wrote in the Teaser that the name of the Fabled Continent was related to Illyria in some way. How? The Helvetic Republic and Illyrian Provinces were both part of the Napoleonic Empire. The Helvetic Republic is present day Switzerland, while the Provinces were the east coast of the Adriatic Sea.

I will do my best to link existing Maplestory content together with Helvetia and my other places. You'll see why this is so important later on...

The cloaked figure at the end of Story, Parts 5 and 7 is very important to future Helvetia and other future RPMS Chapters...

Work on the Sleepywood Expansion has begun, though not on SP yet. The recent KMST patch threw it for a loop, but it has been fixed.

PA/ Spear/ Sword Concept:

Meh, the green curls were originally a snake, with the tongue at the blade tip, however, my skills at art are already not great (animals and humans are disasters), and Paint compounded the difficulty.
Aqui Outpost:

Simple and to the point. The flag actually does have Aquarium's symbol. =)
Rodthienn's Dagger?

Written in the code as "Rodthienn's_Dagger_First_Attempt", and as "Doubleheart_Onyx_Dagger". What is this? Who the pineapple is Rodthienn? Patience, grasshopper, all will be revealed in time. Gah, it looked way better on paper! >.>
some of Seos' Attacks

Top to Bottom: Seos' PKB (both), two arrows of Hurricane-Snipe, and the Lightning Wall. The first lightning has been made translucent, to show that it disappears quickly. All of them happen in the span of 1 second. The character is the closest approximation of Seos as I can with Bannedstory.
