New clues and more of the masteria story. next update - krakia

this is what i got from the newest patch's only masteria-related quest (the rest are related to the epic fail guy boss)

Icebyrd has revealed the truth to me at last-he was contacted by Subani to establish New Leaf City as well as anchor Masteria to the Maple World. He was sworn to secrecy, and to this day, can never leave the continent. It appears that Subani and Icebyrd are the first line of defense against the demonic Naricain, and by defeating his Twisted Masters; I am now his enemy as well. He also mentioned that our adventures here have just begun...with the Twisted Masters out of the way, what's next? Perhaps answers lie within the #bKrakian Jungle#k, and the mysterious city there...only time will tell!

also, another chapter in the masteria story:

Hey Icebyrd. Got a second?

For you? Always. I can't thank you enough, Masteria wouldn't exist without you!

Thanks Icebyrd, but I want to know something.

Fire away.

What does all this mean? You mentioned so many things the last time we spoke...I have a feeling there?s something you?re still not telling me.

Perception can always sense an unseen target. Sometimes I wonder about the paths we take, the decisions we make. Is our fate something we can truly change? Or are we merely doomed to repeat the actions of history? This question is what originally led me here...and I received an answer that led to my sacrifice in establishing New Leaf City. I was sworn to secrecy until the truth could be revealed. As you have proved yourself time and time again, you have earned my trust as well as someone else?s. I will tell you why I established New Leaf City.
I remember way back, when I still lived in Kerning City; I had a dream...or perhaps a nightmare. I saw everything working in a twisted sense of order, everyone in the Maple World had a vacant look upon their face, and the sky itself had turned black. I saw a terrifying beast, large, powerful, with endless arms. I saw pure misery - nothing could match its strength. It had taken over the Maple World. I remember seeing my friends as slaves to this horrible beast, and I remember the voice which told me I could stop it.
I remember waking up in a different place...and a being of light spoke to me. It called itself "Subani" and offered me a chance to help stop the coming reign of terror. Subani told me that a mystic anchor was needed to bring a fabled lost continent back from the realm of Versal, a world which could not be helped, as the being was too powerful. The one condition was that I could never leave the continent. Ever. I agreed without hesitation.
The next thing I knew, I stood in this very spot. Subani helped me construct the city, the spirit's light growing dimmer with each task of strength. Finally, when the city was finished, Subani told me that I could not tell a soul of what I knew, until the time was right. I had to let things happen as if I knew nothing. Then, Subani was gone...vowing to return when most needed. To see you standing here before me proves that you have the strength, courage and honor to be a new hero of Masteria. The storm is still coming, but I like our chances with you around.
So relax for the time being, you've certainly earned it. I have a feeling our adventures here are just getting started!

I'd say Krakia's looking good.

 Spoiler

Can you get in there without any of the set up stuff or can you just waltz on in there?

A small unrelated question: Do you have to get the keystone in order to get in? D:
Sorry for offtopic >:

Can you get in there without any of the set up stuff or can you just waltz on in there?

Pretty sure you only need the keystone for the PQ part.

Can you get in there without any of the set up stuff or can you just waltz on in there?

I'm not gonna drop the Keystone to find out. So I dunno.

Getting past the lightning gate was a matter of clicking on it >_>

Old information. We've known about this since the FTP was up. :3

I didn't mean the PQ. I'm 76. I just want to know if i have to do the quests to get into the beginning part so i can train on the windraider hall.

Can you get in there without any of the set up stuff or can you just waltz on in there?

Yes.

A level 86 WK friend went all the way to Jack (PQ NPC), he doesn't have a Keystone.
