Dialogue

Elon Riverlands

Be careful—danger lurks on yonder ledge. Or did you come here to hear tales of my glory days as a Sunspear? Well, those days are behind me. I even lost most of my original gear.

I found all the equipment you were missing. (only when Equipment Tracker is 6/7 complete; awards Shadi's Reward to complete the collection)

Ah, yes. These bring back fond memories, and not-so-fond memories. To be young again! No use wishing, I suppose. Here's a little something for your trouble.

Thanks.

What danger?

Zehlon Ossa, the Awakened. You know the tale? When Joko retook Elona, Zehlon and the Sunspears who protected him tried to flee to Amnoon. But Joko blocked them.

And what happened?

Many died that day. In cruel irony, Joko awakened Zhelon to enforce the blockade for perpetuity. I remain to warn that only those prepared and in numbers should challenge Zehlon.

I have more to ask.

I don't mind. I love answering questions.

What danger?

What happened to your gear?

What are you doing way out here?

That's all I needed.

Thanks for the warning.

I have more to ask you.

I don't want to hear stories right now.

What happened to your gear?

Each piece has its own story, but to sum up: When you life moves fast, things get lost and left behind. Over time, I ended up with nothing left.

I can help recover your equipment! (Only if the Equipment Tracker achievement has not been unlocked yet)

Would you? I can't quite remember what happened to all of it, but here's a list of what's missing.

I'll get right on it.

What happened to your sword? (Only if the Equipment Tracker achievement has been unlocked)

Lost a bet with a djinn one time... That's a long story. No idea what he's doing with it, but I can't imagine he'll just give it over.

Okay. Can you tell me about a different item?

Let's see. What else did I lose?

I want to ask about something other than equipment.

I guess I'd better get looking.

What happened to your helm? (Only if the Equipment Tracker achievement has been unlocked)

The helm I lost exploring a cave in the east of the Riverlands. I meant to go back and get it, but then the dragon went through there, so I held off.

Okay. Can you tell me about a different item?

I want to ask about something other than equipment.

I guess I'd better get looking.

More... (Only if the Equipment Tracker achievement has been unlocked)

Let's see. What else did I lose?

What happened to your gloves?

I was doing some rock climbing on the plateaus south of the skimmer camp. I took 'em off to get a better grip and must have left them up there.

Okay. Can you tell me about a different item?

I want to ask about something other than equipment.

I guess I'd better get looking.

What happened to your boots?

I was taking a nap just north of the Abandoned Barrows, and a skritt came up and stole 'em! I couldn't catch him. Hot sand and no shoes!

Okay. Can you tell me about a different item?

I want to ask about something other than equipment.

I guess I'd better get looking.

What happened to your armor?

I had it in a chest, in a cave near Skimmer Ranch. I was living there until the Forged showed up. It should still be there. I doubt the Forged have much use for it.

Okay. Can you tell me about a different item?

I want to ask about something other than equipment.

I guess I'd better get looking.

Wasn't there a sword and a helm?

Yes. Let me try to remember what happened to them.

I want to ask about something other than equipment.

Actually, I'm a little busy right now.

I have more to ask you.

That's unfortunate.

What are you doing way out here?

I live alone out here. I don't fight that much anymore, but I still do what I can to help return Elona to its former glory, which mostly means standing around to warn people.

Tell me more about the Sunspears

We were the defenders of Elona. We kept peace for centuries, before Joko reclaimed Elona. Joko the ghoul! Now, most of us survivors are in hiding.

I have more to ask you.

I'll get going now.

I have more to ask you.

It's appreciated.

I've been asked by a mutual friend to retrieve Golsah. Can you help? (Only when Equipment Tracker is complete and Open Skies: Elon Riverlands has been started.)

Oh, I think I know who you mean. She's still around, eh? Good for her. Here's the rune, and be safe. (Receive Golsah, the Rune of Honor.)

So you're aware of the Sunspear sanctuary?

Sanctuary, is it? I heard it was a barren plateau only frequented by birds.

Well, it has the potential to be more.

So you say. Well, perhaps this old bird will have to have a look one day.

I have more to ask you.

You're welcome to.

I have more to ask you.

That's not far from the truth.

I have more to ask you.

Thank you.

Thanks for the warning.

Domain of Vabbi

Well, well, well. Fancy seeing you here.

I wasn't sure you'd make the trip.

It wasn't easy, that's for sure. But there's change on the winds. Quite a few birds, too, it seems.

You going back on active duty?

Pah! Still too old for that. Though happy to see I'm not the oldest bag of bones in this place.

But you intend to help?

In what ways I can. I've lived this long without Joko finding me. Must be some value in that fact.

How did you evade Joko for so long?

Joko is only interested in strong backs and strong minds. I may have let on that my wits had withered away to be as feeble as my body.

Does that mean you didn't really lose your equipment?

Sadly, no. That was real. Speaking of which, I seem to have misplaced my walking stick...

There's something else I wanted to talk about.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Sorry, I need to be going.

What about Zehlon Ossa?

If never killed Zehlon Ossa:

He's still out there—I felt it was more important to come here.

Will you ever go back?

Not sure. Perhaps we'll marshal a force of Sunspears in time and go back to put Zehlon down for good. Only time will tell.

There's something else I wanted to talk about.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Sorry, I need to be going.

If killed Zehlon Ossa at least once:

You made short work of him, from what I hear. What use is an old crone spinning dire warnings when the threat has been put down?

You think he's gone for good?

Oh, I don't know. I suppose Joko or one of his priests could raise Zehlon back up, but I doubt he'll ever be quite the threat he was, thanks to you.

There's something else I wanted to talk about.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Sorry, I need to be going.

What are your thoughts on this place?

Maybe I'm going senile, but this place seems just crazy enough that it might lead to something.

Did you know the spearmarshal back in your day?

Ha! I'm old, but I'm not that old! The spearmarshal was active more than two hundred years ago!

But you knew of her, and this place?

Only rumblings. We never dared enter Vabbi when I was a sunspear. The only reason it's even possible now is because you came along. Change on the winds, as I said.

There's something else I wanted to talk about.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Sorry, I need to be going.

Ahai, traveler.

You would be wise to turn back. Leave this place. And leave me in peace.

May Kormir watch over us all.
