Dungeon Dialogue: Lapis Manalis

Pes Albus (X: 11.6, Y: 14.8) - Fighting on the Snowcraft

Spirited Engineer: Careful up there─you're not like to see much through the snow. Estinien: It seems we were right to ride atop the snowcraft. 　↳ Y’shtola: Indeed. Let us hold nothing back. Zero: How bothersome... Alisaie: The wildlife here is certainly bold. Y’shtola: To arms! Albus Griffin: Caw! Spirited Engineer: Hopefully that's the last of those winged bastards... I'm afraid this is as far as the mammoth'll go. You'll have to make it the rest of the way on foot.

Mons Albus #1 (X: 10.6, Y: 13.9) - Vista of the Tower of Babil

Alisaie: You can see the Tower of Babil from here! 　↳ Alphinaud: And it's no less imposing, even from this great distance. Zero: White as far as the eye can see... Estinien: A welcome change of scenery. Y’shtola: I imagine the view from here must be breathtaking.

Mons Albus #2 (X: 10.2, Y: 12.8) - Mons Albus

Albus Bear: Grooogh! Fleeing Rat: <squeak> Fleeing Antelope: <bleat> Visitant Bloodguard #1: Your aether will be mine! Visitant Bloodguard #2: I must feed!

First Boss, Before engaging (X: 11.2, Y: 11.6) - Albion

Varshahn: If this beast would bar our path... 　↳ Zero: A simple enough task. Alphinaud: A veritable giant among the wildlife here to be sure. Y’shtola: Is this beast native to the mountain?

First Boss, After defeating (X: 11.2, Y: 11.6) - Albion

Varshahn: Come. Let us press onward. 　↳ Alisaie: To the cavern! Alphinaud: There is something to be said for the fortitude of nature. Y’shtola: Well, that wasn't too difficult.

Vicus Messorum #1 (X: 10.5, Y: 13.6) - Cavern Entrance

Alphinaud: So this is Lapis Manalis... 　↳ Estinien: This is no time for gawping. Watch your step. Varshahn: How vast is this cavern, I wonder? Alisaie: Is it just me, or is the wind blowing warm air? Y’shtola: What is this presence...? Visitant Vodoriga: Such rich aether!

Vicus Messorum #2 (X: 11.0, Y: 11.1) - The Reaper Village Remnants

Zero: The presence of voidsent permeates this place... 　↳ Y’shtola: I would expect no less from the birthplace of the reaper's art. Estinien: The reaper village. Or what remains of it... Alisaie: Is this the village Jullus told us about? Y’shtola: A most curious place indeed. Galatea Parva #1: <crick-crack> Come for training, are you? Galatea Parva #2: <creeeak> Ready your scythe! Galatea Parva #3: This will <snap> warm you up. Dated Recors: The assaults from outside tribes have markedly increased of late. The Geraldines proved an especially barbarous thorn in our sides, their nigh ceaseless pillaging no doubt an effort to hoard supplies in preparation for the coming winter. No longer able to tolerate the damages suffered by these incursions, the senate issued an order for their king's assassination, and we reapers were asked to ready our blades. With three of her fellows in tow, Galatea set out under cover of night and infiltrated the enemy fortress. Their mission was a great success which soon put the enemy to rout. Faded Records: Emperor Solus is convinced this magitek will spark a revolution in warfare as we know it. And as he devotes further resources to its advancement, our arts continue to fall out of favor. I fear the age of the reaper has come to an end. After all our forebears have sacrificed for the good of the Empire. The blood spilled, the lives lost. They would dare deem us relics of a bygone era. Indeed, they believe the future lies with their “reaper” battle armor. Trainee Warning Notice: Aspirants are reminded not to approach the figures of the Pale Harvest without express permission. They should be treated with no less reverence than Galatea herself, and are hardly less dangerous. Only those who have successfully forged a pact with an avatar may spar with the Galatea Parva. They will serve to refine one's use of invocations and tactical coordination. The Galatea Magna, however, is reserved for those who are able to serve as host to their avatar. This periculous manikin is designed to push a reaper to their limits, if not beyond them. Learn to walk in death's shadow, and you shall know no fear. Dollmaster’s Memorandum: Maintenance of the Galateae must be handled with the utmost of care. The delicate art of their making has long since been lost, making repairs difficult, and reproduction all but impossible. The knowledge was kept secret, passed down to those who would inherit the position of master dollmaker. That is, until one man chose to break with tradition. He claimed to be leaving on a journey in pursuit of an “unparalleled beauty,” but we never learned the truth of it. The only thing that is certain, is the art of our forebears left with him.

Second Boss, Before engaging (X: 11.2, Y: 8.9) - Galatea Magna

Varshahn: Magicked puppets? Here? 　↳ Alisaie: And equipped for combat training. How delightful... Alphinaud: What possessed them to create such automata? Estinien: Voidsent, I expected. But puppets...? Y’shtola: Despite their menacing demeanor, they're quite charming.

Second Boss, During the fight (X: 11.2, Y: 8.9) - Galatea Magna

Galatea Magna: Commencing basic training regimen. <crack> Your time to completion will be recorded. Galatea Magna: Leave no openings. Your strikes must be quick and decisive. Galatea Magna: That concludes your basic training. Commencing <crick-crack> advanced training regimen. Galatea Magna: Remain calm and collected, no matter your circumstances. Galatea Magna: Remember─you must hone your skills daily. It will be key to your survival. Second Boss, After defeating (X: 11.2, Y: 8.9) - Galatea Magna Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 12. Not even the lowest order of voidsent would be daunted by such meager strength. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 9. Your mastery of fundamentals will carry you far. Continue your training and seek ever greater heights. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 7. A respectable performance. Such strength would prove a match for even warrior-class voidsent. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 5. A commendable performance. Such strength would prove a match for even knight-class voidsent. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 3. A spectacular performance. Such strength might even prove a match for Galatea herself were she still alive. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 2. Impossible... Only Rullus has achieved such a feat. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 1. Even the great rulers of voidsent would struggle to contend with such strength. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. An equal to Drusilla. Extraordinary... Zero: That doll was not unlike a voidsent... 　↳ Alisaie: We can muse about that later. Let's get going. Varshahn: Come, let us make haste. Estinien: At the very least, it made for good sport. Alisaie: That certainly was a challenge. Y’shtola: A masterfully crafted doll.

Fons Manalis #1 (X: 9.5, Y: 13.2) - Fons Manalis

Estinien: That was quite a fall. 　↳ Y’shtola: Thankfully we emerged unscathed. Alphinaud: Is everyone all right? Zero: Ugh... Alisaie: Gods, that startled me. Y’shtola: Let us proceed with caution.

Fons Manalis #2 (X: 10.9, Y: 11.1) - The Voidgate

Y’shtola: There─the voidgate! 　↳ Varshahn: At last, we've found it. Varshahn: Azdaja! I sense she is close! Zero: There it is. Estinien: On your guard, everyone! Alisaie: So the gate really was here. Visitant Satana #1: Trespassers! Visitant Satana #2: Stop them!

Third Boss, Before engaging (X: 12.6, Y: 9.3) - Cagnazzo

Cagnazzo: Hah hah hah! All shall cower before the might of Archfiend Cagnazzo! Estinien: This one seems formidable. 　↳ Y’shtola: To be appointed as an archfiend, I should certainly think so. Varshahn: What is it they seek? Alphinaud: No doubt it is here to guard the gate. Estinien: This one's not at all like the others. Alisaie: It looks a lot like the Kojin. Y’shtola: An archfiend... So this is Golbez's doing.

Third Boss, During the fight (X: 12.6, Y: 9.3) - Cagnazzo

Cagnazzo: I've been waiting so long. Don't disappoint! Cagnazzo: Brace yourselves! The chamber begins to fill with water... Cagnazzo: I bring my all to bear! Cagnazzo: Drink deep of blackest terror! Cagnazzo: I wonder how you'll taste. Cagnazzo: You really must try harder! Cagnazzo: Battle does so whet the appetite. Gheh heh heh heh! Spires of water begin amassing aether... Cagnazzo: No more games! Cagnazzo: Be swallowed by the tide! Varshahn: Is everyone all right? Zero: Still in one piece. Y’shtola: It will take more than that to stop us. Alphinaud: Hold fast, everyone! Cagnazzo: What!? That's not right! Cagnazzo: How do you like this? A malevolent energy spills forth from the void... Cagnazzo: Good, good. A fitting finale! Cagnazzo: Grrr, why are you still alive!?

Third Boss, After defeating (X: 12.6, Y: 9.3) - Cagnazzo

Varshahn: I feel your presence, Sister. Where are you? Alphinaud: Why do you suppose they chose here for their lair? Zero: That they could open so large a gate is troubling. Estinien: So goes yet another archfiend. Alisaie: Well, that was a challenge.Y’shtola: I've never seen a voidsent with such command over water.

You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?

What would be a question you’d be afraid to tell the truth on?

Hello btwww

1. "Home is where the heart is" a lyric

2. After 10th was over i went to Manali and the resort we lived in had the river flowing fast and there were snow covered mountains saamne and i was sitting in the grass near a bonfire staring and staring and staring.... I'd do anything to go back there

3. I don't know this one but ask me a 'how are u' when I'm seriously not okay and you'll see me making up an amazing lie

[opheliaschamber]

The lost summer: Page 2 of 365.

As the trees hum folklores with the kids, I wonder how is Manali doing.

I wonder if the snow has evaporated from the snow-capped mountains and if the Beas river flows as silently as it did then.

I wonder if it remembers my promise.

The promise that I had made a year ago, assuring that the next time I come back, I will like an arrow, firm and tight and not like a swing set, swinging back and forth.

Affordable Family Packages in Manali for Every Budget

Manali is a beautiful mountain retreat in the Himalayas, perfect for families looking for a vacation. However, traveling with family can become costly. Expenses for hotels, food, sightseeing, and activities can add up quickly, turning a relaxing holiday into a financial burden.

The Problem: The Cost of a Perfect Family Getaway

A family trip isn’t just about booking a place to stay; it’s about crafting memories that last a lifetime. Whether it’s the joy of your kids seeing snowfall for the first time, a cozy bonfire night with loved ones, or a scenic drive through snow-draped mountains, every moment counts. However, the challenge arises when comparing accommodation prices, activity costs, and dining expenses. Finding the perfect balance between affordability and comfort can be overwhelming.

Many travelers compromise on either comfort or experience, settling for budget hotels that lack warmth or splurging beyond their means on high-end resorts. But why should you have to choose? What if you could have the best of both worlds—luxurious yet affordable family packages in Manali that offer the perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and value for money?

The Agitation: Hidden Costs & Overpriced Stays

Online travel portals paint a dreamy picture, showcasing “budget-friendly” stays, only for you to discover hidden costs at checkout—extra charges for heating, overpriced food, or even separate fees for basic amenities. Many accommodations boast affordability but fail to provide a homely atmosphere when traveling with children or elderly family members.

Imagine arriving at a small, cramped hotel room with no scenic view, no space for kids to play, and no personal touch. The lack of proper heating in winter or a stuffy atmosphere in summer can turn your vacation into a nightmare. Wouldn't it be better to stay in a cozy cottage, a spacious apartment, or a charming boutique suite that feels like home while offering all modern comforts?

Nestled in the lap of the Pir Panjal range, this trek offers mesmerizing views of glaciers, lush meadows, and towering peaks. With a total Beas Kund Trek distance of 16 km, this moderate trek is perfect for adventure seekers and nature lovers.

Manali serves as the gateway to this stunning trek. The journey begins at Solang Valley, a hub for adventure sports and breathtaking landscapes. From here, the trail winds through scenic meadows, dense forests, and rocky terrains, leading to Dhundhi and Bakarthach before reaching the pristine Beas Kund.

Beas Kund Manali: A Glimpse into Serenity

As you ascend towards Beas Kund, the landscape transforms into a high-altitude paradise. The emerald waters of the glacial lake reflect the surrounding snow-capped peaks, creating a scene straight out of a dream. This trek also offers panoramic views of Friendship Peak, Hanuman Tibba, and the Seven Sisters.

Beas River Valley: Witness the Origin of a Himalayan Lifeline

The Beas River in Himachal Pradesh originates from the sacred Beas Kund, a revered site in Hindu mythology. The river’s journey from this glacial lake through the valley is a sight to behold, with its crystal-clear waters carving through the rugged terrain of Himachal Pradesh Beas River landscapes.

Beas Kund Temperature: What to Expect on Your Journey?

The temperature during the Beas Kund trek varies with the season. In summer (May to June), the weather is pleasant, ranging from 10°C to 20°C. Monsoon (July to September) brings unpredictable showers, making the trail slippery but adding a mystical touch to the scenery. Autumn (October) sees colder nights, with temperatures dropping close to freezing.

Beas View: A Panorama of Himalayan Majesty

The trek to Beas Kund rewards trekkers with awe-inspiring sights. From the lush green valleys below to the jagged peaks above, every step is a visual treat. The highlight is standing at the lake’s edge, where you can witness the source of Beas River, a pristine glacial pool fed by melting ice.

Beas Kund Trek Best Time to Visit: Choose Your Season Wisely

The Beas Kund Trek best time to visit is from May to October. The early summer months offer clear skies and blooming meadows, while autumn provides crisp air and golden landscapes. Winter is not recommended due to heavy snowfall and extreme temperatures.

Beas River Route: Tracing the Flow from Glacier to Valley

From Beas Kund, the river meanders down through Manali, nourishing the valley and shaping the landscapes along its course. Its journey continues through Kullu and beyond, making it a vital water source for the region.

For those looking to experience the raw beauty of the Himalayas, the Beas Kund Trek is an unmissable adventure. Whether you’re captivated by its mythological significance, its pristine alpine landscapes, or the thrill of high-altitude trekking, this trail promises an unforgettable journey. So, pack your bags, lace up your boots, and set out to explore the very essence of the Beas River Himachal Pradesh!
