World quest
Correspondence
"Over time the moves gained meaning, becoming our primary cipher. Now, centuries later, our messages are reappearing. Presumably undelivered." —Malthas, Aionian Historian
| Start point | Mysterious chess pieces may have some relation to the Aionians's history. Maybe an Aionian historian will know more. |

Overview
Correspondence is a world quest in The Edge of Fate set on Kepler. Sources disagree on pickup: one says it unlocks after the Exile's Accord and Central Academy Strangelets, then you interact with a chess piece in the Curtilage Divide; another credits the Drifter and says it unlocks after the ninth step of the main quest. It takes around 30 minutes.
Walkthrough
- Locate the Aionian historian Malthas.
- Find an encoded chess piece using the markers.
- Return the piece to Malthas.
- Collect 9 more chess pieces across Kepler by following radar indicators.
- Return the collection to Dean Rebecca in the Caldera.
Rewards
- Reported as Legendary gear and Fated Ciphers (sources differ: one says a Fafnir Cipher, another 3 Fated Ciphers plus an AION Renewal armor piece or Kepler weapon).
