Dialogue[edit]
- In the Eye of the North
- Rytlock Brimstone: Hey, Commander, you sure we're not punching Frost Legion?
- <Character name>: Not unless they do something that crosses the line again. Not to mention the destroyers are getting worse.
- Rytlock Brimstone: Guess fighting on two fronts isn't the best plan. Let me know if you change your mind. Or if Aurene has any news.
- Upon entering the Scrying Pool
- Aurene: Jormag's been... tapping at the window, so to speak. To get my attention.
- <Character name>: What do they want?
- Aurene: Jormag loves to talk, I'm sure you've noticed. And I...like talking to them. Maybe too much. Best not to answer.
- <Character name>: I don't think Jormag's the "ignore them and they'll go away" type.
- Aurene: No. But. Easier to stay on guard with my champion beside me.
- Aurene: All right. Let's see what they want.
- Jormag through Bangar: Millennia with no one to talk to; I finally find a worthy interlocutor, and now you won't answer? You wound me, Aurene.
- Jormag through Bangar: Surely you, too, crave more stimulating conversation than mortals can provide. Unless...
- Jormag through Bangar: Oh, Dragon of Crystal and Light—do I intimidate you?
- Aurene: I promise you, that's not it.
- <Character name>: You want Aurene on your side. Why?
- Jormag through Bangar: You've faced the least of what Primordus will bring. The death and destruction will make mortal wars seem as dreams.
- Jormag through Bangar: So Primordus has to die. And when he is dead, I will be free.
- Aurene: So is it his death you want...or your freedom?
- Jormag through Bangar: Would you remain bound to a monster? Kralkatorrik's fate suggests not.
- Aurene: He was in misery. It was a mercy.
- Jormag through Bangar: Ah! He's why you fear yourself. Kralkatorrik was unworthy of you pity or remorse. And so is my brother.
- <Character name>: You know Primordus so well, why do you need the asuras'[sic] research?
- Jormag through Bangar: There are...impediments. We are two faces of a coin; we cannot truly see each other, not directly.
- Aurene: This is between you and him; fire and ice in opposition—balance. A prism isn't relevant.
- Jormag through Bangar: You really don't understand your potential—your power.
- Aurene: I have the power to heal—
- Jormag through Bangar: You break, you refract, you reshape. The beauty is the irrelevance. You are altogether new!
- Aurene: I decide my purpose. And it isn't to destroy.
- Jormag through Bangar: You'd let the beast inflict wounds just so you can heal them?
- Aurene: Don't twist my words. I'm not a child; I will not be manipulated.
- Jormag through Bangar: Well. Even when you are determined to be contrary, Aurene, it's lovely to speak with you.
- <Character name>: That's it? You'll take "no" for an answer?
- Jormag through Bangar: I won't force her—that is not my way. I accept your answer. For now.
- <Character name>: What do you—
- Bangar Ruinbringer: Save it; they're gone. But in case you're wondering, they're not wrong.
- Aurene: I didn't ask your opinion.
- <Character name>: Aurene... If there's no other option, will you act? Kill Primordus? Or Jormag, if it comes to it?
- Aurene: I won't need to. There can be no balance if I get involved. Trust me, Champion. There will be another way.
Captain Thaddeus Soren Ebonhawke Under Threat Commander, I am Captain Thaddeus Soren of the Ebon Vanguard. I pray this message finds you with all due haste. Our scouts are reporting increased destroyer activity all around Ebonhawke. I fear it's only a matter of time before the dragon of fire and destruction sets its sights on us. I know you have been spearheading Tyria's efforts to counter the ongoing Elder Dragon attacks. We fear Ebonhawke is next. —Captain Soren |
- <Character name>: Just got word there might be some destroyer activity near Ebonhawke. Who do we have there right now?
- Kasmeer: There must be an allied faction somewhere nearby. I'll see what I can muster.
- Crecia Stoneglow: And I'm in the Fields of Ruin dealing with what's left of the Renegades. I can lend support.
- Kasmeer: Ah, if I may: a heavily armed charr contingent approaching Ebonhawke with tensions being so high...might be a bad idea.
- Crecia Stoneglow: You think tensions are so high they'd turn down help from their charr allies?
- Kasmeer: You're not just any charr, Crecia. You're an imperator. And you'd be the first imperator to set foot in that city.
- Crecia Stoneglow: Yeah, symbolism—fine. Do they want help saving their city or not?
- <Character name>: Okay, Kas, why don't you go to Ebonhawke first and soften the ground. Crecia, I'll meet you there.
- Crecia Stoneglow: Oh, how far we've come.

- In the Eye of the North
- Caithe: Commander. Anyone on the rotation who could head to Thunderhead Keep?
- Braham Eirsson: I'm not too far away. What's up?
- Caithe: Sudden infestation of destroyers, apparently. I think a bit of help is in order.
- <Character name>: I can meet you there, Braham.
- Caithe: Great. Look for Myrun Skialkin—formerly Priory, now a member of the Bloom. They'll have a better idea of the situation.
