Dialogue[edit]

Trial of Providence
Raven Totem: Seeker of cunning, fledgling of mine, show me your mind.
Raven Totem: A mortally wounded man lies beneath a tree. Without help, he will die. Wild beasts close in, eager for a meal.
Raven Totem: Healers are nearby. They are unarmed, and unaware of the wounded man or the beasts.
Raven Totem: You summon a flock of ravens for aid. What will the ravens do?
Raven Totem: You summon a flock of ravens for aid. What will the ravens do?
Talk ready option.png Save the healers.
Raven Totem: Interesting. You choose to eliminate the attacking beasts. The immediate danger is gone, and the healers are safe.
Raven Totem: But they never find the wounded man. Their safety comes at the expense of his life. Is that what you intended?
Talk ready option.png Save the wounded.
Raven Totem: I see. You want the healers to save the wounded man's life.
Raven Totem: But one life is traded for another. A fate not easily avoided. Did you believe you could cheat death?
Raven Totem: I have seen enough. The trial continues.
Trial of Wisdom
Raven Totem: Seeker of wisdom.
Raven Totem: A fire spreads through Tyria's greatest library.
Raven Totem: Thousands of books turn to ash as the flames leap higher.
Raven Totem: A scholar cries, wracked with turmoil. Two books lie on opposite ends of the room.
Raven Totem: The first is a detailed record of Tyria's history before human arrival. There are no other copies.
Raven Totem: The second is a book of arcane spells that could turn the tide against the dragons. It is the only one of its kind.
Raven Totem: The scholar can only save one book. Which does she save?
Raven Totem: The scholar can only save one book. Which does she save?
Talk ready option.png The historical record.
Raven Totem: You would forgo peace to preserve what came before. What good is the past when there is no future?
Talk ready option.png The spell tome.
Raven Totem: You value a winning hand over the knowledge of the ages. Does this truly free us, or will the cycle repeat?
Raven Totem: I'm beginning to get a feel for you, seeker. The trial continues.
Trial of the Beyond
Raven Totem: Seeker of the beyond.
Raven Totem: A plague sweeps the capital city, claiming countless victims. Both the old queen and the young prince have fallen ill.
Raven Totem: The queen is benevolent and wise, and she has ruled fairly for decades. But her age is showing.
Raven Totem: The prince is her only child. He's very young, and prone to petulance.
Raven Totem: If one dies, the other will make a full recovery. You must guide one of their souls to the afterlife. Choose.
Raven Totem: If one dies, the other will make a full recovery. You must guide one of their souls to the afterlife. Choose.
Talk ready option.png I'll guide the old queen to the afterlife.
Raven Totem: You would gamble with the fate of a kingdom to preserve a young life. A child becomes king before he is ready.
Raven Totem: He may fail. He may be taken advantage of. People will suffer. Was saving his life worth the cost?
Talk ready option.png I choose the young prince to die.
Raven Totem: You choose the safety of what you know. The queen continues her reign. But one day she will die, with no successor.
Raven Totem: The Kingdom will be thrown into turmoil as a stranger takes the throne. Was your choice truly safe?
Raven Totem: You have shown me who you are. The trial is complete.
