Dialogue[edit]
Approaching Eir Stegalkin (cinematic):
- Eir Stegalkin: Something troubling you, Slayer? You've been as silent as snowfall since we left the kodan.
- <Character name>: It's the horn. I was irresponsible for gambling it away in the first place. It's not the best way to honor a legacy.
- Eir Stegalkin: And yet you tracked it down, fought Varg, and rescued the horn. I was proud to stand with you. You truly honored a legacy and infused it with your own.
- <Character name>: When I was young, I thought our legend was built on drinking and killing. Turns out it gets forged in quieter moments, like now, standing with a friend after an adventure.
- Eir Stegalkin: I am honored to be your friend. It's been a while since I've used that word.
- Eir Stegalkin: Place the horn on the trophy mount. Let us reflect on what we've learned, friend.
Speaking to Eir before placing the horn:
- Eir Stegalkin: You should put that horn in its rightful place.
After placing the horn:
- Niilo Wolfskinner: There it is. Romke's horn! Grab it and cut down these weaklings.
- Niilo Wolfskinner: Out of my way, woman!
- Eir Stegalkin: The corruption is stronger than we thought. The horn is defending itself!
After defeating the Sons of Svanir:
- Eir Stegalkin: It's shattered. All that work, and the horn is broken. I thought we could save it. I thought we could keep Romke's legacy in your hands.
- <Character name>: Yet the horn saved us and defeated the "Sons". If it were a Norn, we would say that it fought and died well. And we would celebrate that Norn's legacy.
- <Character name>: What's important is what we take away. I can be obsessed about the pieces on the ground or be inspired by the legacy. I choose inspiration.
- Eir Stegalkin: That's a choice I've wrestled with, too. Travel well, Slayer. Until we meet again.
Speaking to Eir after the chapter is complete:
- Eir: There's no magic left in the horn. Thank the Spirits you kept it from the Sons of Svanir. I'd say you earned back your ancestor's legacy.
After all this, I hope it inspires future generations.
Thanks, Eir. Even if it's depowered, I'm glad to display it as a keepsake.
