Ambient Dialogue[edit]
- By The Second Bloodtree when two ghosts spawn in the graveyard
- Mursaat: Does Saul want us to wither into nothing?
- White Mantle Sniper: Of course not, Unseen One. We just... I need more time. There are so few villagers left, and if we kill them all at once...
- Mursaat: That does not sound like a problem worthy of my audience, does it?
- White Mantle Sniper: N-no... It's not worth your time. I just—
- Mursaat: Silence. Blood is needed... no matter the source. Even if you need to kill my children.
- White Mantle Sniper: Your... followers? You want me to kill the White Mantle?
- Mursaat: Reverent blood can be quite powerful.
- White Mantle Sniper: I...
- Just south of Festering Basin Waypoint by the heart vendor
- Archivist Ikur: Thank you for letting me join your research party in the woods. The closer I can get to the ruins, the better.
- Whispers of Wind: Why one yearns to go near those ruins, I can't understand. But you are very welcome.
- Whispers of Wind: If I may ask... What is it that excites you here?
- Archivist Ikur: You see, those ruins have quite a robust history. From what I've gathered so far, this place was once the village of Gavril.
- Archivist Ikur: It was a quaint little town turned quite sour. Why? I'm not sure yet, but I think we can assume the White Mantle were involved.
- Whispers of Wind: Ah. Those ones. A vile group, they were. I'm glad they no longer walk these lands.
- Archivist Ikur: I am, as well. But thankful that they left such valuable records behind for us to find.
- By the heart vendor, with Festering Basin Renown Mastery at least at tier 1
- Whispers of Wind: Welcome back, Wayfinder. Progress is a steady march through thick snow, but we've managed a few steps forward.
- Whispers of Wind: The forest seeps with gloom, it does. But the more we learn of the stranger... Spare this place, we will.
- Just Kodan Landspeaker
- Kodan Landspeaker: What I wouldn't give to spend just one night back in my homestead right now.
- Between Astral Ward and Kodan Stoutheart
- Astral Ward Skirmisher: So many... screaming mouths...
- Kodan Stoutheart: What is he doing?
- Astral Ward Protector: Channeling the spirits here.
- Astral Ward Protector: Dalach. What do you see?
- Astral Ward Skirmisher: Deception. Sacrefice on the bloodstone. Blood...on everything. Everywhere.
- Conversation at Rhea's Perch
- Gavril Villager (1): Cedric, if we stay... Maybe it's just a feeling, but... I don't know. What if they kill us?
- Gavril Villager (2): Kill us? Hush your worry, darling. What makes you say that? The storehouse full of food?
- Gavril Villager (1): People are going missing... I haven't seen Quinn in a week.
- Gavril Villager (1): Ever since Saul brought his people here... I know it hasn't been all bad, but it's different.
- Gavril Villager (1): Diferent in ways that scare me. They leave the village at night and we don't know where they go.
- Gavril Villager (2): We are just getting used to a bustling town! Gavril is a busy place now. Vibrant, even. We'll all adjust.
- Gavril Villager (1): (breathes)
