Dialogue

The Rift Hunters serve Isgarren, the other wizards, and the Astral Ward, but it's our honor to work alongside you, Commander. Do you have any questions I can answer about the Rift Hunters?

Can you tell me anything more about these rifts?

They're created by the Kryptis; a way for them to launch incursions into Tyria. The Rift Hunters are tasked with tracking them down, eliminating whatever comes out of them, and sealing them up.

Which parts of Tyria have seen rifts?

There don't seem to be any active rifts in the area, but we've heard rumors about where they might be occurring. Would you like to see where they are at?

Thanks for the information.

I have some other questions.

Those are all the questions I have.

What else do you know about the Heart of the Obscure?

Not much more than what I told you. Waiting Sorrow, the wizard who created it, took many of its secrets with her, but we know it's an artifact of immense power. Use it wisely.

How does the Heart know where to guide me?

I'm not an expert in the arcane arts, but my understanding is that it tunes in to the same astral fluctuations that denote strong emotional essence; it sniffs out the same thing that attracts Kryptis.

Those are all the questions I have.

What else can the Heart do?

I know that it can tap into the same arcane energy that a lot of the wizards use to safeguard Skywatch and Amnytas. It can open doors and chests and interact with things usually reserved for wizards.

Can you tell me more about motivations?
