Father's Trail
Objective : unlock Emilia's constellation stance book shop
Prerequisite : Emilia/Emilia the Sage (any level), talked to Queen Hamaan using Emilia/Emilia the Sage*
* If you have not already done so, talk to Queen Hamaan directly using Emilia/Emilia the Sage. There is no quest trigger for this. This particular conversation is required for several other story and quest developments, including this quest.
- Go to any major town to trigger the quest mail automatically.
- With Emilia as team leader, go to Errac (Zeia) and talk to Queen Hamaan.
- Talk to Nar.

For older versions, several Ancient Rune - Ti or Ancient Rune - Te are required. (Ti for entrance from Land of Day, Te for entrance from Land of Night, 5 runes for pre-v4.5, 3 runes for pre v5.0.24.))
- Talk to Nar.
