Detailed Walkthrough

Well, looks like the Master Conjuror decided that he ranted enough in the previous part of the chain, so now he finally starts to explain you some things about what's going on. While talking to him in the beginning of the current quest, you'd get a qualified consultation about the Summoning and Invocation Rituals, their similarities and differences... in other words, you'd get an opportunity to know all you wanted to know about the Ritual these conjurors are preparing, and maybe even more.
But the Master Conjuror also makes you understand that he would need some more ingridients to perform an Invocation properly. And these ones are not as simple to find as the ones you've already brought him.

Master Conjuror

To perform an invocation isn't as simple as it sounds. We need a medium that has been in contact with the demon. A living medium would be best.
Summoning is much easier than an invocation. This can be explained very simply: as soon as we pull something from the Spheres of Chaos towards us, we call it a summoning. So summoning only ever has one origin. In contrast, invocation is much more complex. It means trying to transfer a creature from an unknown location to a known location. To finish the invocation we also need a magic-filled bottle... the darker this magic the better. I'll draw a mark on your map where you'll find it.

Decline

Accept

So now you are setting off for a long way, in the end of which you're supposed to find a mysterious bottle filled with dark magic. What's wrong with this? A thing like that should exist somwhere in the world, shouldn't it? The mark that the Master Conjuror has drawn on your map shows you a long way along the seashore, right to the east end of the Bengaresh Desert. The map below shows you that way.
- The fastest way to get to the quest location really would be to go along the seashore. There are no portals or other shortcuts on this way.

And when you would finally get there, you'd see the greatest source of the dark magic... A Basket Full of Demonic Candy!

OK, the Master Conjuror finally got his candies... I meant, his dark magic-filled ingridient. Now there is the only one thing left... and looks like this 'thing' is you.

Master Conjuror

Ahh... and what about the medium? Well, well, in that case you are the first creature in this world to survive battling a demon. Don't get me wrong. Demons aren't stronger than dragons, but they're much less known, and they're far less predictable.
We will commence the ritual right away. Could I for one moment..., it won't hurt. Thank you, that's enough medium.

Ok

Of course, after all the troubles you've already survived in order to catch the Succubus, you can't just stop now. So you offer yourself as the last ingridient. Now the Master Conjuror and his colleagues, who came here while you were away to find the candies, can perform the Invocation Ritual. All that's left for you is to stay near and watch the show... and the Ritual is really worth watching.

The conjurors invoked the Succubus, revealed her true nature, subdued her... and teleported somewhere out of your sight! So the things about 'owning a tamed demon', one of the Hermits rambled on about were true. That's not exactly what you wanted to see, so now you should ask the Master Conjuror some more questions.

Master Conjuror

It's done. The invocation has finished. The erroneous summoning has shown us many flaws in our rituals. We will improve them and simplify them. Soon it will be possible for everyone to summon their own demons without any danger.

With our newly gained knowledge, we will go our own way, traveling west, where we'll settle in a country free from elves. There and then, the era of the humans can begin... and the era of the Brotherhood. Maybe we will meet again in a new Ancaria.

Maybe we'll meet again one day. I hereby appoint you honorable fellow of our Brotherhood. Keep this name to yourself. We're the Brotherhood of the Sakkara, the highest of demons.

Ok

Unlike you, the Master Conjuror is more than happy with the result. He makes a long speech about the wonderful future that awaits him and his fellow Brothers - so that's the 'Brotherhood' that crazy Hermit mentioned - the Brotherhood of the Sakkara, the highest of demons!
Looks like there is nothing more you can do about this story. At least, you've made some crazy conjurors happy, and they rewarded you generously. The Master Conjuror also appointed you a honorable fellow of the Brotherhood of the Sakkara. Are you sure you should be happy about this?

Logbook Entry

As a last ingredient, I have to get a bottle filled with dark magic. A thing like that can surely be found in this world.
Also a medium is required. Best would be something that has been in contact with the demon to be invoked. I guess this medium will be me.

I have the bottle, I have myself. Now the invocation can go ahead.

Some blood was taken from me, which represents the necessary medium.
The invocation starts, I should witness it.

The Succubus' threat ends now. The summoners dressed in black have subdued the demon. They want to take her away to a country that will belong to the humans.
I'm appointed honorable fellow of the Brotherhood of the Sakkara. Sakkara appears to be the highest of demons.

I'm not quite sure whether to be happy or fearful about this...

Notes

• If you are still not sure about whether or not to be happy about joining the Brotherhood of Sakkara, you should take a look at Sacred 1. After all, the Sakkara Priests were among the main antagonists of this story.
• In the Community Patch v100 this chain won't show up in the logbook. It is fixed in the next versions.
