Feron is a prominent knight who is encountered in a few areas.

Dialogue
The context of this conversation regarding Gate Construction is obsolete. The game has not removed all NPC dialogue regarding this topic yet.
The dialogue is the same as Feron Dialogue/Reporting for Duty, but with this conclusion:

|
That's the kind of spirit I like to see. It works like this: you use the gates up ahead to explore the Clockworks and retrieve special minerals. Then you deposit those minerals back into gates to change the clockworks below, creating new, unexplored levels.
We believe the minerals are a key to opening a path to the Core, we just need to discover how to use them!
|
|
|
|
You have proven that you are combat ready and I have faith that you will serve the Spiral Order courageously. The gates into the Clockworks are just up ahead.
Good luck to you!
|

Astounding! I would have never expected a new recruit to crawl out of that fiery wreckage alive! You must really be something else...
The name's Feron, Lieutenant of the Spiral Order. We had believed this entire complex was derelict until the elevator leading to it suddenly surged to life. Upon investigating the whole place soon went up in a blaze!
How did you end up here?
|
|
- (Tell Feron about the Rescue Camp, Razwog and the Artifact)
|
|
I see. This will be bery interesting information for Spiral HQ. Our base camp in Haven is just up ahead. Head on up the elevator and meet the other knights who survived the crash like yourself. The techs in the Lab will be eager to study that artifact. They'll see to it once you get to Haven.
Don't worry about the others in the Rescue Camp. Thanks to you, we have a functioning elevator system to reach them. You've saved them all!
|
|
- Thank you, Lieutenant, I'll head on into Haven. (Ends conversation)
|
|
Well met soldier, and good work on reaching our base camp here in Haven. I'm Lieutenant Feron. I have been assigned by Captain Ozlo to oversee our Clockworks mining operation.
Before you lies "the Arcade," a fascinating complex that serves as our link into the heart of the Clockworks. Since you're new here, I'll give you a quick run-down of what Spiral HQ has us doing here.
|
|
- Sure sounds important, tell me how it all works.
|
|
After the Skylark crashed, its primary tearium core exploded, destroying a portion of the ship and leaving it whitout a main power source. Since so far we haven't found several hundred tons of tearium just lying around, the bird has effectively lost its wings.
With the help of the Strangers, we were able to set up a small base of operations here in Haven. Once we got our systems online, we discovered that within the heart of this rock resonates a power signature of unprecedented magnitude.
|
|
- If we could somehow harness that power...
|
|
That's exactly right! The Core of the Clockworks could very well contain the energy source we need to create a new power source for the Skylark and restore it to operational condition. There's only one problem- the Clockworks themselves seem to be build like some kind of crazy death trap.
Reaching the Core is not going to be easy...
|
|
|
|
| That's the kind of spirit I like to see. Continue to complete missions for Spiral HQ as they are assigned to you. With your help we stand a chance at reaching the Core and saving Isora.
|
|
|
|
Then I now authorize you to take on Arcade Missions. You can access the Arcade via your Mission interface or approach the gates directly here in the Arcade itself. There is a massive world beneath your feet waiting to be explored.
Good luck to you!

Well met PLAYERNAME, it has been some time since I first met you having just arrived from the Rescue Camp. You've come along way since then, rising to the rank of Defender Elite no less.
You are gifted soldier, PLAYERNAME. I have no doubt you will soon be a Champion amongst the Spiral Knights and instrumental in our solving the great mystery that is the Core, restoring the Skylark and returning home. You have proven that you have what it takes to face the legions of dark forces that lurk below the surface.
|
|
- I'll fight to the very end, Lieutenant. I know what's at stake.
|
|
I've heard Spiral HQ has lined up for you some missions befitting a true Champion. But in order to become one, you'll need the right gear.
I am entrusting you with the tools you will need to become such a Champion. With these recipes, you can craft the highest caliber of gear of the Spiral Order. With it you can finally wear the armor of the Azure Guardian, wield the might of the Leviathan Blade, and face anything in the protection of the Aegis.
|
|
- I am honored, Lieutenant.
|
|
| Then use them with honor and let them protect you from the fury of the countless foes you will soon face. The Core that we seek, there's something truly dreadful about it. I know that it may very well be what gets us home, but I can't shake this feeling that we've been thinking about it all wrong.
|
|
|
|
I mean that the Core isn't a big battery that runs this world, but rather it and the whole of this world is a massive prison designed to keep something from ever leaving.
Think about our geo-scans of Cradle just before the crash- they show it as being composed of hundreds of massive slabs of other worlds, almost like plates of armor. Then you have the Clockworks, the most unnatural thing I've ever seen. An entire world whose sole purpose seems to be stopping anyone from ever reaching its Core.
|
|
- I think you're on to something, Lieutenant.
|
|
I've been talking with Spiral HQ about it now for some time and they're prepared to investigate it further. Though I don't think I'll be changing their mind about trying to open the Core any time soon. That's still priority number one for now.
All i can say is be careful out there, PLAYERNAME. I think this world has more surprises in store for us than we know.
|
|
- Roger that. (ends conversation)
|
|
| Well met, PLAYERNAME, Champion of the Spiral Knights. Your service to our cause has been of the highest caliber. Without you, reaching the Core would still be a dream. Now, we have a chance of actually restoring the Skylark and returning home.
|
|
- It's been an honor to serve, Lieutenant.
|
|
I've read your report of the Core, it's fascinating. What an impossible structure and to think that the Alpha Squad might actually still be alive but... inside that thing is just incredible.
I understand that Lieutenant Vaelyn has already led a team to the Core terminal and is establishing a base of operations for research. This is of great value to all Spiral Knights and we have you to thank!
|
|
- I hope her findings produce something meaningful.
|
|
Aye, as do we all.
Now then, PLAYERNAME, you need to prepare for what's to come. Reaching the Core is only the beginning for us. I suspect that Spiral HQ will be issuing you many more missions in the future that could only be taken on by someone of your ability.
And finally, it is my pleasure to inform you that you will soon be awarded one of the greatest honors of the Spiral Knights, the rank of Vanguard. I will see you in the Hall of Heroes.
|
|
- Thank you, Lieutenant. (ends conversation)
|
|
| Serve with honor, Vanguard.
