Dialogue[edit]
- Before starting What Was Before
- Ah, youngling. Word of your actions in Nyedra have reached me. I would ask something of someone so...capable.
What do you need?
- Tecla the Venerable: Ah, youngling. Spare me the briefest moment, will you? Well, less brief relative to your ephemeral span of existence...
- Tecla the Venerable: We must not shape the future without considering the contours of the past. To that end, I ask for your assistance.
- Tecla the Venerable: There are some few of us who recall a time before Eparch's misdeeds altered the course of our culture.
- Tecla the Venerable: But our light dims, and our memories with us. So I ask: Will you seek out these vestiges of a bygone age?
- Tecla the Venerable: Some might seem trivial. Others inscrutable.
- Tecla the Venerable: But what is more valuable: A hoard of riches, or a trinket of the past that helps mold a brighter future?
Sorry, I can't right now.
- After starting What Was Before
- Word has spread that the beacons have changed. Nayos is listening. Lady Peitha will have the audience she seeks.
- These relics—where can I find them, again?
- Throughout Inner Nayos, youngling. The Heart can attune to their ancient energy. Use it to reveal them.
- I see. Thank you.
Are there more beacons out there? (Same as during Eventide's March)
- Likely. The beacons have been around for a very long time—longer than me, if you can imagine. Only recently has the Midnight King utilized them for oppression.
- Maybe we'll deal with those, too, if they're ever a problem.
- Glad I could help.
- After completing What Was Before
- Tecla the Venerable: Youngling. Wayfinder. Your contribution to the future of my people—ALL peoples—will far outlast our lifetimes.
- Tecla the Venerable: Let us hope these artifacts you've retrieved on this aged Kryptis's whim will have a fraction of your impact.

Trivia[edit]
- Tecla the Venerable is most likely named after Maria Teresa Merlo, a catholic nun to whom Pope John Paul II conferred the title of "Venerable" after confirming that she had lived a model life of heroic virtue.
