Dialogue

Before completing heart

(if account is linked to the Hall of Monuments)

Your spirit feels familiar. Is it answers that you seek?

(if account is not linked to the Hall of Monuments)

How can I set your spirit at ease?

Can I do anything for the others around here?

Lead the lost ones to their resting place, pacify the enraged ones, and rekindle the wardlights to repel the ghost eaters. If you seek wisdom, visit the Forgotten statues.

Tell me more about the lost ghosts.

Speak with them and help them reach the gravesites to the north and south, so they can rest. You'll need to best the enraged ones in combat to calm them.

May I ask another question?

Thank you for your time.

Forgotten statues?

They contain the ashes and final words of Forgotten Vissh Rakissh. Read all eight of them, and you may hear his final message.

May I ask another question?

Thank you for your time.

What are the wardlights?

The candles along the Lair's perimeter project a ward of protection against Joko's ghost eaters, but they must be kept lit.

May I ask another question?

Thank you for your time.

May I ask another question?

I gather you made a name for yourself in your day.

It was my great duty and honor to support Spearmarshal Kormir and to help her avert Nightfall.

What can you tell me about Nightfall?

The outcast god Abaddon corrupted leaders and set our forces against each other as he set about remaking our world in his image. Heroic effort and sacrifice saved Elona from destruction.

May I ask another question?

Thank you for your time.

You fought beside Kormir?

I was strategist to the Sunspears, and she was our Spearmarshal. Kormir was a scholar who became the leader we needed in our darkest hour. She transcended torment and anguish to become our goddess.

May I ask another question?

Thank you for your time.

May I ask another question?

Thank you for your time.

What keeps you here at the Lair?

Some may be unable to let go of bitterness or regret, but I've chosen another path. As I make amends, I do what I can to help the others lingering here, especially Meymo and Kyrisah.

Amends? What amends?

I saw Palawa Joko freed to reconquer Elona. I share responsibility for the generations of cruelty he's inflicted on my homeland.

May I ask another question?

Thank you for your time.

What's special about Meymo and Kyrisah?

They've had a...difficult time. My son's spirit was trapped in the Realm of Torment, so I know death is no guarantee of peace. Those girls should be free to stay young at heart.

May I ask another question?

Thank you for your time.

If asura:

You're one of the most brilliant human strategists in history. Any insight?

You can extrapolate from every source of knowledge and still fail to predict the consequences of your actions. Take comfort in knowing it's a universal truth.

Existentially terrifying, but fair. Thank you.

If charr:

Strategy was the key to your success. Any tactical advice?

If you want to ensure that you never lose a battle, never start one. And if you must fight, consider first how you'll pay the cost of victory.

"In blood" probably isn't the right answer. I salute you.

If human:

You've fought one of our gods before. Do you have any advice?

Don't let it shake you to the core. Like us, they are both sublime and flawed—and if we are knowable, so are they.

Thank you for the perspective.

If norn:

You're a legend among your people. What advice can you give me?

A legend doesn't need to be true, but legacies bear consequences. When people recount your legend, will you want them to tell the truth?

I'll think on it. Thank you, hero.

If sylvari:

You must have more rings than a tree! Any advice for a sapling?

I wish I'd been more flexible when my life was ahead of me. Hold on to your curiosity, and help when you can. It's all any of us can do.

That's both frightening and comforting. Thank you.

May I ask another question?

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your time.

After completing heart

(if account is not linked to the Hall of Monuments)

How can I set your spirit at ease?

(if account is linked to the Hall of Monuments)

Your spirit feels familiar. Is it answers that you seek?

Are you able to trade with me?

I gather you made a name for yourself in your day. (Same as above)

What keeps you here at the Lair? (Same as above)

Thank you for your time.

Quotes

Greetings

Ahai. Your spirit feels... familiar. (if account is linked to the Hall of Monuments)

He who has never learned to obey can never learn to command.

Remember, everyone has secrets.
