After misleading Garnon, you searched for the Protector's realm by yourself. While you attempted to awaken Protector Oriata, Drakan gained access to the realm and attempted to capture her. When things looked most dire, the power in the necklace Garnon gave you drove the Balaur back. When Oriata awoke, she was hesitant to share her power with you. But when Garnon appeared with an Asmodian ambassador, both attested to your ability and judgment. You were granted the power to counter Siel's Relics.
