Dialogue[edit]
- Entering the instance
- Rytlock Brimstone: Thanks for showing, Commander. So far, you're the only reinforcements we've got.
- <Character name>: Are you at all surprised?
- Rytlock Brimstone: Nah. These Flame Legion made their own bed. Gaheron's gone. Whole world's changed. But they haven't.
- <Character name>: Efram's trying to change minds.
- Rytlock Brimstone: Fanatics can't change their minds 'cause they don't change the subject. Same old crap over and over again.
- Entering the instance after it already started
- Rytlock Brimstone: Destroyers're swarming the Timberlands, Commander. We need to get down there before Efram's overrun.
- <Character name>: Lead the way, Rytlock. Right behind you.
- When player meet Efram Greetsglory
- Efram Greetsglory: Commander, appreciate the help. We need to stem the tide here before pushing to the citadel!
- Efram Greetsglory: These charr think they're destined to die in the flames they once controlled. Let's show them how wrong they are.
- During initial morale-booster event Time remaining around 2:30
- One of the following:
- Efram Greetsglory: We can't let the destroyers break morale, Commander! Turrets, emblems, what ever you can raise—do it!
- Rytlock Brimstone: We need to place more of those turrets and emblems! Show the Flame Legion we won't give up an inch!
- Upon finishing the initial morale-booster event
- Efram Greetsglory: Do you see what Gaheron's bought upon you? He promised power, but left you weak! Now Primordus breaks you!
- Rytlock Brimstone: Enemy's falling back! Everyone push toward the Flame Citadel!
- Efram Greetsglory: Commander, appreciate the help. We need to stem the tide here before pushing to the citadel!
- Efram Greetsglory: These charr think they're destined to die in the flames they once controlled. Let's show them how wrong they are.
- Rytlock Brimstone: I don't believe it. We actually got reinforcements!
- If Faction Aid is Charr United Legion:
- Efram Greetsglory: It's the charr! They've answered our call. They believe in a new Flame Legion! We will not disappoint them!
- If Faction Aid is norn:
- Efram Greetsglory: The norn have come to help! Cast aside your magic and use theirs! The Spirits of the Wild may yet save this day!
- If Faction Aid is Ebon Vanguard:
- Efram Greetsglory: The Ebon Vanguard! See how the world has changed? Now we fight for one another. Raise their banners and push back!
- If Faction Aid is Deldrimor Dwarves:
- Efram Greetsglory: The dwarves fight with us to rebury the destroyers! Take up their alchemical weapons and take back the bridge!
- If Faction Aid is Kodan:
- Efram Greetsglory: It's the kodan! They fight to bring balance, and a reborn Flame Legion to Tyria! Take whatever help they give!
- If Faction Aid is Flame Legion:
- Efram Greetsglory: See how this new Flame Legion works as one, like a flame itself! Help us summon more effigies to guard the bridge!
- Rytlock Brimstone: They're on the bridge! We can't let 'em get inside!
- After defended destroyer invasion
- Rytlock Brimstone: Icebrood!
- Efram Greetsglory: Flame Legion, to me!
- Rytlock Brimstone: I talk a big game, but I don't really wanna fight on two fronts!
- During boss fight
- Rytlock Brimstone: Braham!
- <Character name>: Braham!
- Braham, Champion of Primordus: Kill ice!
- When boss reaches 50% HP
- Rytlock Brimstone: What's doing on with him?
- <Character name>: Braham! Braham, can you hear me? Do you und—
- Braham, Champion of Primordus: (pained roar)
- Rytlock Brimstone: Burn— Look out!
- Rytlock Brimstone: No killing the big fire guy!
- <Character name>: He's a fri— He's not an enemy!
- Rytlock Brimstone: But the little fire guys are fair game!
- When Braham, Champion of Primordus turn back normal/ally
- Braham, Champion of Primordus: Kill ice. Kill ice. KILL ICE!
- Rytlock Brimstone: You heard him!
- Braham, Champion of Primordus: Obey. Your. Alpha.
- Efram Greetsglory: The battle's turning! Keep it up!
- Rytlock Brimstone: Hit the icebrood with everything you've got!
- After defeating Tribune Splitgold
- Braham, Champion of Primordus: Go!
- <Character name>: Braham...
- Braham, Champion of Primordus: Commander.
- (Braham salutes the Commander and then leaps into the air, vanishing from sight.)
- Upon approaching Efran and the Flame Legion
- Flame Legion Bladestorm: Many of us were ready to die. But you...saved us. You and your friends. Allies never came to our side before.
- Efram Greetsglory: They see a chance for the Flame Legion to join the rest of the word. You caught a glimpse of that world today.
- Efram Greetsglory: The question they're all asking is: can you cast aside your hatred? Grow beyond fighting Baelfire's failed campaign?
- Flame Legion Bladestorm: Many would rather die. But I'm not one of them. And there are others like me.
- Flame Legion Bladestorm: It will...take time. But we would rather join the new world than be swept away with the old one.
- Flame Legion Bladestorm: Imperator.
- Efram Greetsglory: Commander, when you fight the twin dragons, you can depend on the whole of the Flame Legion to be by your side.
- Efram Greetsglory: Seeing Braham like that... Are you two all right?
- <Character name>: No... Not really.
- Rytlock Brimstone: What Braham did. What he's let himself become. Kid's a warrior.
- Efram Greetsglory: He's controlling the pure destruction and hunger of the raging flame—that's no small feat.
- <Character name>: We need him... Is he up to it? The leash he had those destroyers on was shaky.
- Efram Greetsglory: It was a leash, nonetheless. They came to his call and followed at his heels.
- Rytlock Brimstone: He's running them like a wolf pack.
- <Character name>: And what's the cost? We can't let this go on. He's struggling, and he's suffering.
- Rytlock Brimstone: Yeah, he is—for us. For all the right reasons, Commander.
- Rytlock Brimstone: Primordus's champion or not, there was heart in Braham's eyes. Haven't seen one speck of that in Ryland's.
- Efram Greetsglory: Then there's still hope for Braham.
- Optionally talking to Efram Greetsglory
- Efram Greetsglory: The Flame Legion has a long road ahead.
- Can you get the outliers to fall in line?
- Efram Greetsglory: You can't undo generations of hate in a day. To many, Flame is still the Gold Legion: unreliable, undependable.
- Efram Greetsglory: Some Flame will refuse to step forward. I have to accept that. And as imperator, their punishment will fall to me.
- Rytlock Brimstone: Gotta figure it'll be a lot more than "some." Old thoughts die hard.
- Efram Greetsglory: What would you do?
- Rytlock Brimstone: Dunno. But then, I wasn't dumb enough to become an imperator. That's on you.
- Efram Greetsglory: I know.
- Thinking about moving back into this citadel?
- Efram Greetsglory: No. These are the lands of false gods, dead prophets, and ruinous ideologies.
- Efram Greetsglory: The new Flame Legion will grow elsewhere. We'll find a new home—one less tainted by a reputation we hope to shed.
