Dialogue[edit]

Flowering Meadow
I'm sorry to trouble you, but would you share a story or two with me of the lands beyond? It's been a long time since I've left the wilds.
Talk more option tango.png Sure. What would you like to know?
Have you met any kodan in your travels?
Talk more option tango.png Plenty. I spent some time in the northern Shiverpeaks battling Jormag.
The Shiverpeaks! What about the santuaries? Oh, please tell me you've been to one of the sanctuaries!
Talk collection option.png What is this really about?
Flowering Meadow: Oh, I am sorry; I got carried away. There is...someone I know who lives in a sanctuary. Someone I miss terribly.
Flowering Meadow: His name is Winter Sky. Could I...could I trouble you to bring a letter to him? I cannot go myself.
Flowering Meadow: Oh, and flowers! I will write the letter now, if you would be kind enough to gather some flowers for me.
Talk end option tango.png Perhaps another time.
Hello again, Wayfinder. Thank you for agreeing to help me.
(Skip to option "What can you tell me..." if talking again right after this)
Talk collection option.png I think I've got enough wildflowers here.
Such lovely flowers! Thank you. You are a very kind outlander. Prepared the letter, I have.
Talk more option tango.png What can you tell me about Winter Sky to help me find him? (skip directly to "Oh. Oh!" if repeating this dialogue)
He's as beautiful as the aurora, and his heart is as big and full as the ocean, and he stands so tall, and–
Talk more option tango.png I was thinking a bit more practical than that.
Oh. Oh! He lived in the sanctuary called Blue... I can't remember the rest. It's been so long.
Talk more option tango.png I'll find him, don't worry.
Thank you. Safe travels. Oh, how I wish I could explore the outside lands as I did before...
Talk end option tango.png Leave.
Talk more option tango.png What was it you wanted me to do?
Collect some wildflowers in the area for my bouquet. I think there is a meadow flowering to the east of here, close to the beehives.
Talk more option tango.png Ah, right. I'll get on that.
Talk end option tango.png Never mind. I need to go.
Winter Sky
What is it? I'm busy here.
Talk collection option.png I've come with a letter and a gift from Flowering Meadow.
From Flowering Meadow...?
You intend to play a cruel joke on me. Begone. I have no time for this.
Talk end option tango.png I'll come back later.
Was I unclear? Leave me be.
Talk more option tango.png Would you just look at the letter?
I do not have time for this. We are under constant siege here, and the bridge must be watched.
Talk collection option.png Let me see if I can do something about that.
I admit, you would not have done all of this for a mere joke. Let me see this letter.
Talk collection option.png Here you go.
Talk end option tango.png The letter? Where did I put that...
How... She really sent you. My Flowering Meadow...
I must...I must send her something back. Wildflowers do not bloom here in the ice, but perhaps there is something else.
I need ice... Not just any ice. For it to survive the journey, it must be special.
Can you...can you bring me shards of corrupted ice? I must stay here and defend the sanctuary.
You return with the ice? Thank you. I must prepare something now.
Talk collection option.png So what happened between you two?
We were little more than cubs when we met in the lands between here and Janthir.
She had journeyed east and I west, each in search of food in a barren year.
We pursued the same hart, but we only realized when our spears struck it down at the same time.
We hunted together for the rest of the spring, but that is all.
The lowlanders would not have welcomed me, and those that do not follow Koda cannot live in the sanctuary.
Talk end option tango.png Can it wait? I need to go.
It is done, but I must ask a favor of you. Can you take this letter and this sculpture to her? My leg has swollen from a wound, and I cannot make the journey now.
Talk collection option.png I'll bring it to her for you, then.
Flowering Meadow
You've returned! Did you find him? Did he get my letter?
Talk collection option.png He did, and he's sent you something, also.
Oh, my sweet Sky. This is beautiful beyond words! He really made this sculpture for me?
Talk more option tango.png He wanted to come himself, but his leg is injured.
He's hurt? Is he okay? Is someone taking care of him? He needs medicine, Wayfinder!
No, no, no. This won't do at all. I need to make him some medicine. Can you gather some things for me?
Need these herbs, I do. And honey. That's very important. Bring it and I will prepare the mixture.
Talk end option tango.png Not yet.
You've brought the ingredients! Here, I will mix them. Please hurry and take it to him.
Talk collection option.png I will.
Talk end option tango.png Maybe later.
Winter Sky
You return?
Talk collection option.png Flowering Meadow prepared this medicine for your leg.
She made this for me? That settles it; I will go to her. Let her know that I will make the journey soon.
Talk collection option.png Be careful in your travels.
Talk end option tango.png Not really. I'll come back later.
Flowering Meadow
How is he? Did the medicine work? Oh, please tell me it worked.
Talk collection option.png It did, and he's coming to see you.
Talk end option tango.png I don't know. Maybe.
Flowering Meadow: Is it you? Is it really you?
Winter Sky: I am sorry that I kept you waiting for so long.
Flowering Meadow: Oh hush, you silly bear.
Flowering Meadow: I thought I'd never see you again.
Distant Thunder: What is the meaning of this? No sailor of the bitter wind is welcome here.
Distant Thunder: Return to the ice, where your superstitions are wanted. Our village has no need of them.
Flowering Meadow: Don't talk to him that way! He's not dangerous!
Distant Thunder: This is not a discussion!
Distant Thunder: We are prepared to escort you out if needed.
Winter Sky: It will not be needed. I will not fight you.
Winter Sky: Don't cry, little flower. It was worth the journey just to see you again.


Distant Thunder
Speak quickly. Already expired, my patience has.
Talk collection option.png Why won't you let them be together?
I will not be lectured by an outsider. The good of this village is my concern, and the sailors of the bitter wind do not share our ways.
Talk collection option.png 'Then I'll just have to help you see.
Talk end option tango.png I'd rather speak slowly. So, bye for now.
You have helped my bearkin and my village. Very well. Open my mind to your counsel, I will, but this is your only chance.
Talk collection option.png Driving him away will only drive her away.
She will recover from the wound in time. She will come to understand my reasons, and she will accept them.
Talk more option tango.png If you're wrong, you'll lose her forever.
And what would you have me do instead? Entrust my only child to some wandering sailor?
Talk collection option.png Give him a chance. You can always expel him later if you need to.
Very well. He may stay for now, but I reserve the right to change my mind.
I am not made of stone, Wayfinder. But I will always do what I must to protect my child. You would do the same.
Talk end option tango.png I'd better think about what I want to say, then.
Winter Sky
Look who it is.
Talk collection option.png You two have a lovely homestead.
Flowering Meadow: You have a kind heart, Wayfinder. You've given us another chance at happiness.
Winter Sky: I don't know how to repay this debt of gratitude to you. I will find a way someday, I hope.

  • For step 6, the player receives Winter Sky's Letter in their inventory.
  • For step 7, the player does not receive any honey in their inventory, the step will complete automatically after the event is completed.
  • During step 9, Flowering Meadow does not have a collection icon above her head.
  • During step 9, Flowering Meadow is not present in Harvest Den. You can find her by switching map instances.
