Dialogue[edit]
Minimum to complete the story[edit]
- Checking in with Arina
- Arina: Wayfinder—not a moment too soon. They're about to get into it.
- <Character name>: You're not joining us? You know the situation as well as anyone.
- Arina: Getting in the middle of that group? I'd rather face down Eparch again.
- Arina: No, I think I'll leave that to you. I just wanted to catch a glimpse of it myself.
- <Character name>: Don't tarry too long, soldier; you're overdue for some leave. Welcome home.
- Arina: Wayfinder.
- Attend the peace council
- Frode: Wayfinder, good. Let's delay this no longer.
- Peitha: No need to rush, now. Galrath does so enjoy our presence here.
- Galtrath the Undying: I've seen you lot in battle. We've got nothing to worry about.
- General Zantharon: What would you know of battle? You were not present for—
- General Nephus: Enough. We will not waste time with idle chatter. There is still much to be done in Nayos.
- Isgarren: Let us proceed, then. Dagda, present the terms we've agreed upon.
- Dagda: The Kryptis incursion into Tyria will cease immediately. No Kryptis will enter Tyria again without direct invitation.
- Peitha: And any remaining loyalists who do, you're free to dispose of.
- Dagda: Additionally, the Astral Ward will maintain a presence in Nayos until such time as it is deemed by us to be unnecessary.
- Dagda: In return, amnesty will be granted to the Kryptis, and we will recognize Peitha as the legitimate sovereign of Nayos.
- General Nephus: We accept your terms.
- Frode: Perhaps now there can finally be peace.
- Isgarren: We must hope so. If this were to happen again, I promise you that it would not end in negotations.
- Frode: Your thoughts, Wayfinder?
This is a chance for peace and friendship.
- <Character name>: We've laid the foundation for a lasting peace and friendship here. Let's not waste that opportunity.
- General Nephus: We will not.
- The Kryptis get just this one chance at redemption.
- <Character name>: The Kryptis have been given a chance at redemption. They won't be given another. Do what you must to keep them in line.
- Galrath the Undying: Couldn't have said it better myself.
- Let's cherish this victory while we can.
- <Character name>: Take the time to cherish this victory. As a wise man once told me, we're only given so many of these.
- Frode: I'll drink to that.
I need a minute first.
- Peitha: There is also the other matter we discussed, Garren. Do you accept?
- Isgarren: I do. Ramses will have a place here as long as he pleases.
- Ramses: My...my lady?
- Peitha: Your affection for Tyrians is no secret, Ramses. And you have more than earned a place as our ambassador.
- Ramses: Thank you, my king. I will not let you down.
- Peitha: That just leaves one final thing: you, Wayfinder.
- Peitha: While there are many who have fought alongside me, none have been more steadfast or capable.
- Isgarren: I do want to thank you, Wayfinder. Your aid was clearly needed here.
- Peitha: As long as I live, your name will never be forgotten in Nayos. You have my eternal thanks.
Talk of the Tower[edit]
The following dialogues are related to the Talk of the Tower achievement.
- Checking in with Arina (1)
- Wayfinder. Come to enjoy the pond? I haven't relaxed in a very long time. Might take some practice.
- I think so. Looks like everyone is getting along. That's a good start.
- Checking in with Dagda (2)
- We've done it, Wayfinder. Peitha sits the throne. For better or worse.
You must believe she's better than Eparch.
- Dagda: If I didn't, I wouldn't have put my own life on the line to join you and Zojja in the battle at Zakiros. But nothing is certain. You know that as well as anyone.
- Fair enough.
- Dagda: I do believe we did the right thing. I believe in Peitha. The Kryptis are strange... yet, not so different in many ways. When they're not eating each other.
- Straightforward as always, Dagda.
- Well, I'll be off.
- I'll talk to you later.
- Checking in with Frode (3)
- Let's hope this peace holds a while, eh? Rest of my lifetime would be just fine. Ideally, the rest of Arina's, too.
- Do you think that's possible?
- With the Kryptis? Maybe. Throughout Tyria? Doubt it.
- Get the R & R while you can.
- Good idea. Think I'll follow Arina's lead on that one. You should, too.
- I keep trying...
- Sorry, I need to leave.
- I'll catch up with you later.
- Checking in with Livia (4)
- Hello, my dear. I was just giving our new friends a bit of a tour before I depart. I know its[sic] been entertaining, but our time together is at an end. For now.
- You have a strange idea of "entertaining."
- Worse has been said about me over the centuries. None of it true, of course.
- What's your plan now?
- I'll wait for somebody to need me. They always do. Perhaps it'll be you, hmm? In the meantime, don't miss me too much, fellow wayfinder.
- I'll try.
- See you later, then...
- Looking forward to it...
- Checking in with Lyhr (5)
- After the Kryptis invaded Amnytas, can't say I felt much sympathy for them. Surprised Dagda did, given what that battle took out of her. Or Isgarren, for that matter. But glad to see the job is done.
- What will you do next?
- I'd love to be working in the forge. Rather swing a hammer at an anvil than a demon—prefer a stationary target.
- Sounds nice.
- Yeah...it sure does. Reality is, there's a lot to negotiate with this new Kryptis alliance. I'll probably end up in a lot of political arguments. Some of those with myself.
- Ha! Good luck.
- I hope that happens for you.
- I'll talk to you later.
- Checking in with Narcisse (6)
- Wayfinder! Congratulations! How are you feeling? Any injuries? Happy? Tired? You look tired.
- Thanks, Narcisse.
- Mmm, noncommittal as always. Well, come find me in the skygarden if you need a salve. You ever try meditation with Gol?
- I'll keep that in mind.
- Helping the ward while also helping the Kryptis; It's truely magnificent what you've accomplished. Seriously, go get some rest!
- Thanks. I'll try.
- I need to head out.
- I need to step away...
- Checking in with R'tchikk (7)
- Glade is thrilled to see you, Wayfinder. R'tchikk too... But R'tchikk knew you'd survive. "The commander will outlive Isgarren!" is what I always say, right, Glade?
- Glade's shaking her head, R'tchikk.
- Ummm... When she shakes her head, that means "yes." Right, Glade?
- Was that nod a "no," then?
- Probably? The most important thing is that you are safe. Of that, skritt is certain.
- Thanks. I appreciate it. And Glade's honesty.
- Okay, I'm going to head out.
- Nice to see you both, but I've got to be off.
- Checking in with Uenno (8)
- We live in exceedingly interesting times, wouldn't you say? An alliance between the Kryptis and the Wizard's Tower after centuries of turmoil...
- Do you think it will last?
- No idea. But I never considered it a possibility to begin with, so...perhaps it will. And I hope it does; I'd rather argue policy than stab tentacles. Don't tell Frode I said that.
- I think he'd agree with you.
- I'll talk to you later.
- Checking in with Zizel (9)
- Oh ho, Wayfinder! So much excitement, eh? Cultural exchange with the Kryptis! Excellent work, making this happen!
- It wasn't all my doing...
- No need for modesty! Regardless, I see they have delegates here, tasting Tyrian food. I smell an opportunity for reciprocation!
- You want to try Kryptis cuisine?
- Ugh. No. Of course not. But imagine what I could create with ingredients from an entirely new realm! Reagents we've never seen. It's going to be delightful. Thank you, my friend, thank you!
- You're...welcome, friend.
- I need to run.
- I need to go...
- Speaking with Galrath the Undying (10)
- Looks like you pulled it off, Wayfinder. The whole of Nayos owes you their lives, whether they realize it or not.
- Have you changed your mind about the Kryptis?
- <Character name>: Have you changed your mind about the Kryptis?
- Galrath the Undying: Why would I have? I never doubted that Peitha's forces could win, just what her victory would really mean.
- Galrath the Undying: We're going to find out if they're as capable of peace as you hope. It'll be a long time before we know the answer.
- Galrath the Undying: I'm no warmonger, Wayfinder. If they maintain the peace, I am happy to do likewise. If Tyria is safe, I am satisfied.
- What did you report to Isgarren?
- <Character name>: What did you report to Isgarren?
- Galrath the Undying: That Peitha's army was winning and that Astral Ward support should be sent to end the war. What, not what you expected?
- Galrath the Undying: I'm a man of my word, Wayfinder. I asked you to prove that you could win, and you did. I held up my end of the bargain.
- Galrath the Undying: He took a little convincing, of course, but I know how he thinks.
- Galrath the Undying: A chance to avenge the deaths of Vass, Akeem, and Mabon? To give a punitive lecture to Eparch?
- Galrath the Undying: He was never going to miss that opportunity.
- Maybe Isgarren will make you the ambassador to Nayos.
- <Character name>: Maybe Isgarren will make you the ambassador to Nayos.
- Galrath the Undying: Ha! I like you, Wayfinder.
- Until next time.
- Speak with Isgarren (11)
- Well, you have succeeded in your mission. Another in your long list of accomplishments. Truly. You have been essential, Wayfinder. It seems Zojja and Mabon were right about you.
- Will you still try to keep the Astral Ward a secret?
- <Character name>: Will you still try to keep the Astral Ward a secret?
- Isgarren: The value of secrecy has not diminished. But I must admit, it will be difficult to hide what has happened here.
- Isgarren: And a truth half uncovered is often more dangerous than one fully revealed.
- Isgarren: If there is time still to shield Tyria from the knowledge of its own frailty, then that must be done.
- Isgarren: I will evaluate our options, however, and come to whatever conclusion best suits Tyria as a whole.
- Why didn't you come to help us sooner?
- <Character name>: Why didn't you come to help us sooner?
- Isgarren: Such accusation. From your tone, one would think my support never arrived at all.
- Isgarren: You are not so naive as the rest of them, Wayfinder. You know better than foolish idealism.
- Isgarren: Until I could be certain that my support would ensure your victory, committing our forces would have been pointless.
- Isgarren: I do not act without careful consideration. I have lived a long time with the consequences of my prior impulsiveness.
- Will this peace hold?
- <Character name>: Will this peace hold?
- Isgarren: I expect so, but there are contingencies for any eventuality. We will not be caught unaware again.
- Isgarren: It will take far beyond your lifespan for their forces to grow strong enough to be a threat again, anyway.
- Isgarren: But peace will last also only as long as we remain strong enough to enforce it. That is the only reason it ever lasts.
- That is all for now.
- Speaking with General Nephus (12)
- You have served admirably as both a soldier and a leader. Our king is fortunate to count you among her allies.
- So you have no aspirations for the throne yourself?
- <Character name>: So you have no aspirations for the throne yourself?
- General Nephus: None whatosever. There is a weight that comes with the crown, and I have no desire to carry it. My role lies elsewhere.
- General Nephus: Peitha has proven that she can lead our people, but there will be difficulties that better suit my expertise.
- General Nephus: When those arise, I will offer my counsel. That is all that is needed of me.
- Do you think the peace will last?
- <Character name>: Do you think the peace will last?
- General Nephus: For the immediate future, yes. The people have tired of war, and this will be an opportunity for them to prosper.
- General Nephus: But time will weather that relief, and people will forget what war cost them. We will have to remain vigilant.
- General Nephus: I promise you this, however: war between Nayos and Tyria will not come again as long as I draw breath.
- General Nephus: Let us hope that my fellows feel as strongly as I do.
- Can you trust Zantharon?
- <Character name>: Can you trust Zantharon?
- General Nephus: One need not trust a predator if you remove its claws. And he still has his uses.
- General Nephus: There are many loyalists left, and we need them to join us if we are to keep this dream alive. They will listen to him.
- General Nephus: Ultimately, that is more important than the punishment he unquestionably deserves. We are forced to compromise.
- General Nephus: In many ways, politics bloodies one's hands more than war. May you spend your twilight years in battle instead.
- Farewell for now, General.
- Speaking with Peitha (13)
- Peitha: Ah, my dear, to think I could have made a snack of you when we first met. And now you've proven yourself an entire meal.
- Ah, my dear Wayfinder. I'm sure there are many questions in that pretty head of yours. Ask away, then.
- How does it feel to finally sit on the throne?
- <Character name>: How does it feel to finally sit on the throne?
- Peitha: Comfortable, though I'll need to some redecorating. Eparch never had much taste.
- Peitha: In truth, the crown is heavy. There are thousands of wounded to be tended to, dead to be buried, homes to be rebuilt.
- Peitha: I knew the cost from the beginning, of course. A king must bear the burden of the entire kingdom.
- Peitha: It will be many days before things are right. There will be little time for sleep. But there will be time for dreams.
- You've decided to spare Zantharon?
- <Character name>: You've decided to spare Zantharon?
- Peitha: Zantharon is a pragmatist; he will side with us as long as that remains his best option. I intend to keep it that way.
- Peitha: And we need to gain the support of the remaining loyalists. This is the time for reconciliation, not purges.
- Peitha: Besides, in a way, having to serve under me is the most bitter punishment I could have given him.
- How do you feel about the Astral Ward being stationed in Nayos?
- <Character name>: How do you feel about the Astral Ward being stationed in Nayos?
- Peitha: There was never any other choice. They contributed their blood to our freedom, and they are too strong to refuse.
- Peitha: Isgarren worries about war returning. If this reassures him, so be it.
- Peitha: Besides, you Tyrians really are delicious. If they ever become a problem, we'll simply have a feast.
- Until our paths cross again, King Peitha.
- Speaking with Ramses (14)
- Wayfinder, good to see you. I must admit, I'm finding myself a bit overwhelmed right now.
- How do you feel about being named ambassador?
- <Character name>: How do you feel about being named ambassador?
- Ramses: It's difficult to know how to feel. Mere hours ago, I entered Tyria for the first time, and now I'm going to stay here.
- Ramses: It is exciting in its way, though. The smells and sensations, the lights and colors, the strange shapes of the creatures.
- Ramses: I'm not sure I'll be much use as an ambassador, as distracted as I am.
- Ramses: I wonder if Arina would be willing to lead me around...
- We couldn't have done this without you.
- <Character name>: We couldn't have done this without you.
- Ramses: I am humbled by your praise, Wayfinder. But I merely did what anyone should be willing to do for their homeland.
- Ramses: Truthfully, I have been a small part of something greater. That is enough for me.
- Ramses: But I am pleased that I have earned your respect. And, I hope, your friendship as well.
- <Character name>: Of course, Ramses.
- Be well, my friend.
- Speaking with General Zantharon (15)
- Ah, the so-called champion of Tyria. A shame we never got to lock horns.
- I'm surprised you're part of this.
- <Character name>: I'm surprised you're part of this.
- General Zantharon: Did you expect to see me in chains? You Tyrians can be so naive. Allow me to enlighten you.
- General Zantharon: I served at the side of the king for longer than your kind can conceive of. Who knows the Kryptis better than I?
- General Zantharon: Our fledgling king is wise enough to know she will need my counsel. That is worth more than retribution will gain her.
- General Zantharon: Let that be a lesson for you, then: your sense of justice will always be subservient to your practical needs.
- It must sting to be on the losing side.
- <Character name>: It must sting to be on the losing side.
- General Zantharon: Do I not stand here among the victors, Tyrian? Do I not still have my horns?
- General Zantharon: My allegiance to Eparch ended with his betrayal of my brother. It was the only loyalty I held higher.
- General Zantharon: You may not count me as a true ally, but here I stand all the same.
- You believe Peitha can rule the Kryptis, then?
- <Character name>: You believe Peitha can rule the Kryptis, then?
- General Zantharon: It is power and authority that rules in Nayos, Tyrian. As long as she holds them, the Kryptis will follow.
- General Zantharon: But do not think that Peitha alone is capable. It is not providence that has placed the crown atop her head.
- General Zantharon: If she fails, it is a minor setback. The Throne of Midnight can seat another.
- It seems you care little about the fate of your people.
- <Character name>: It seems you care little about the fate of your people.
- General Zantharon: My people? You know nothing of my people! You understand so little, but you speak so boldly.
- General Zantharon: I have given everything for the survival of the Kryptis. I have acted always for the future of Nayos.
- General Zantharon: But I see what you cannot—that the Kryptis can only be led through strength.
- General Zantharon: I did what needed to be done. Do you have the conviction to do the same?
- I tire of your presence.
- Speaking with Zojja (16)
- Zojja: Wayfinder. You made it.
- <Character name>: So did you. Your help on the field was...That entrance. Your power is incredible.
- Zojja: Heh, thanks. Still getting used to how it feels.
- Zojja: What's next for you, then?
- <Character name>: Not sure. Tyria doesn't know what happened here—or in Nayos. I don't know how long we can go without telling them.
- <Character name>: I guess we're following Isgarren's lead until then. So long as everyone is safe.
- Zojja: He knows we need to do something. Tyria is blood in the water, now. Who knows what's sniffing around.
- <Character name>: Or is ready to bite.
- Zojja: Right.
- <Character name>: How about you? Any exciting wizardly duties?
- Zojja: Exciting? Maybe. Once we've figured out what to do with the "fractal" inhabitants, I might explore the Mists.
- Zojja: There's just...so much out there. To explore. To learn. So many things that might help Tyria.
- <Character name>: That sounds like quite the adventure.
- Zojja: Are you gonna be okay? Without, uh...me?
- <Character name>: Everyone is going to be fine.
- Zojja: Good. I'll see you later, Commander.
- Zojja: Wayfinder. I...sorry.
- <Character name>: Good-bye, Zojja.
- Checking on the Frightened Kryptis on the diving board (17)
- Frightened Kryptis: Eeek!
- Are you going to dive? That's a long way down...
- Maybe. Still thinking! Why do this? Is scary? Is...fun?
- Well, it's up to you. But there's only one way to find out...
- Sorry!
- Conversing with the Astral Ward instructor (18)
- Oh, Wayfinder! I've decided to give a quick lecture. The Kryptis are fascinated with Tyria. Want to pick the topic?
- Sure. Why don't you teach them a song?
- Hmm, that sounds great. I'll think of one. Can these creatures even sing?
- Have fun.
- Why don't you tell them about the flora and fauna?
- Oh, yes, that is a great topic. Don't want anyone getting sick! Though some of them look as though they could eat rocks and not feel a thing.
- Exactly.
- Tell them about the sights of Tyria.
- Great idea. Mountains, forests, deserts... I've got so many areas to describe. Do they have forests in Nayos?
- Sort of? Good luck!
- Not right now, thanks.
- Conversing with the Astral Ward Artist (19)
- Astral Ward Artist: Oh, not like— Those brush strokes are quite...aggressive.
- What's going on?
- Astral Ward Artist: I'm trying to show them how to paint. They aren't quite grasping the, ah, finesse required.
- Let me see.
- The Tormented: I am expressing myself. Is that not what is needed of me?
- What do you say, teacher?
- Astral Ward Artist: Yes...but with a deft touch, and we want to apply some color theory, and—you know what? Never mind. You're doing great.
- Art is subjective... Keep practicing.
- I'll leave you to it.
- You have your work cut out for you.
- I don't want to interrupt.
- Talking to Corporal Balkin (20)
- Corporal Balkin: Hey, Kiona. How's it going?
- Corporal Kiona: Good to see you, Balkin. Did Nayos treat you well?
- Corporal Balkin: Ah, yeah. You know. It was pretty intense, but nothing I couldn't handle.
- Corporal Balkin: So, anyway, now that we've both got leave, maybe you'd want to go somewhere? Hoelbrak is nice this time of year.
- Corporal Kiona: Sure, why not.
