Dialogue[edit]

Farrah Baelseeker: Give me...just a moment...to finish...reading...this... Okay, I'm done.
Farrah Baelseeker: Oh. Huh. It's you.
Farrah Baelseeker: Gixx told us you were involved here. Still weird to see the Pact—the former Pact commander hanging out with the Astral Ward.
Farrah Baelseeker: Name's Farrah. I'm here with the Priory; we're lending a hand with the titan investigation.
Farrah Baelseeker: The alliance is trying to determine the scale of this threat—whether or not we need to ring any global alarm bells.
Farrah Baelseeker: I was asked to draw any connections between these titans and the ones that Tyria combated before.
Farrah Baelseeker: I'll be honest, I'm at a bit of a loss. With the storms rolling in every few hours... Haven't made it out of camp much.
Farrah Baelseeker: And I need to head back to the archives to pull a few more records.
Farrah Baelseeker: If you're headed out to the isle anyway, see what you can find. I'm in desperate need of some firsthand accounts.
Farrah Baelseeker: You know how to get to the monastery, yeah? To Durmand? Let's regroup there.
Born from Thunder
How do. You lookin' for stories about the wee strangers, yeah? Nasty things.
Talk collection option.png Whatever you're willing to share.
Talk end option tango.png Hold that thought.
Born from Thunder: My hunting party has killed one hundred and forty six of 'em. Might be keeping count.
Born from Thunder: Their march is ceaseless...mindless, even. They don't act like a wolf or a lowlander.
Born from Thunder: They follow the big ones, that's for sure. But they're spread out, too. Made it as far as the mainland, ya know.
Born from Thunder: Kind of like they're the limbs of the big fellas. Like, um...I dunno, like they're following its orders without realizing.
Born from Thunder: Best to kill 'em on sight. Whatever they're looking for or doin', probably better dead than crawling straight for the village.
Born from Thunder: All I got so far. Hope there's somethin' helpful for ya there.
Rainless Meadow
Want to know more of the attack, you do? I... I'll tell you what I can.
Talk collection option.png Whatever you're willing to share.
Talk end option tango.png Hold that thought.
Rainless Meadow: Shake to my toes, I was. Greer is his name, you say...?
Rainless Meadow: Greer. Hm. That's the name of the rot bringer, it is.
Rainless Meadow: We were setting up camp when Whispers of Wind sent me farther to the west to find clean water.
Rainless Meadow: Found the clearing first—real swampy and gross. The smell curled the fur on my nose.
Rainless Meadow: I heard him before I saw him... Sounded like a tree was gonna fall. Ducked into a small cave before he could see.
Rainless Meadow: Seemed worn, like he just crawled out of a fight he wasn't gonna win. Something glowing peeked out behind his armor.
Rainless Meadow: Kinda looked like honey. But not quite. He started pulling old lumber toward himself to cover it back up.
Rainless Meadow: Left while he was distracted, I did. Came right back here. Still shaking it off.
Branwen
Ah, you're helping the Priory Researchers? Of course. What can I help with?
Talk collection option.png Whatever you're willing to share.
Talk end option tango.png Hold that thought.
Branwen: Decima. That's what she calls herself...? Fascinating.
Branwen: I haven't seen her with my own eyes, but I have heard her.
Branwen: I thought it was just the storm. Low rumbles of thunder, sometimes coming to a crescendo. But then they seemed...reactive.
Branwen: When we were successful in fighting them away from camp, the sounds grew more sedate.
Branwen: The more victorious, the louder they became. I'm confident that they're communicating.
Branwen: I'm attempting to decipher their rumblings, but no luck yet. The greater storms from the northwestern peak often drown them out.
Branwen: Here, I'll send you with some of my notes. The Priory is more than welcome to them.
Paela
If you're headed into the explosion zone, keep an eye out. Wouldn't want to be stuck there when the next storm rolls in.
Talk collection option.png What have you learned?
Talk end option tango.png Hold that thought.
Paela: Spawn and titan alike, they're drawn to bloodstone like it's a bowl of punch at a krewe party.
Paela: The storm rolls in, the titans feed off of the shards while we keep ourselves alive. Rinse and repeat—it's a war of attrition.
Paela: The little ones don't seem to care much for the bloodstone. Only the progenitors.
Paela: Though, I have noticed something odd... No matter how successful the titans are in their feeding, they regenerate with rest.
Paela: I don't want to know what happens if they consume everything on the isle. We'd probably be looking at another Bloodstone Fen.
Farrah Baelseeker, in the Durmand Priory
Farrah Baelseeker: Commander, over here!
Farrah Baelseeker: Thanks for making it all the way out here; I know you're at least a little busy saving the northern hemisphere.
Farrah Baelseeker: I see you did a lot of research. Good work. Great work, even. Couple of your friends sent along some more documentation, too.
Farrah Baelseeker: Let's see what we got...
Farrah Baelseeker, after reading one or more notes
Farrah Baelseeker: These are definitely titans. Incredible...
Farrah Baelseeker: Not that I doubted it, but skepticism is critical. Especially with creatures that like to role-play as gods.
Farrah Baelseeker: I'm former Flame Legion, so I guess I'm a bit invested in making sure we squash this... But the research opportunity is also big.
Farrah Baelseeker: We don't have every answer, but I feel like we're a lot closer to some sort of understanding.
Farrah Baelseeker: Thanks for taking the time. Know you've got a lot on your hands.
Farrah Baelseeker: Feel free to look everything over before heading out. I might be able to answer a few of your questions myself.
Farrah Baelseeker: Otherwise, I'll see you back in Janthir.
