(Memory of Old Lion's Arch)

Outcast Qindova is an outcast centaur historian who fled his tribe after suggesting peace with humanity out of worry that their kind would lose the Centaur War. He is one of very few peaceful centaurs in Central Tyria. He survived the attack on Lion's Arch and could be found in the camp in Gendarran Fields.

After Lion's Arch was rebuilt, he left the refugee camps along with all the others, however he is not to be found in the rebuilt city.

Dialogue

For humans

Well, two-legs, come to laugh at an outcast enemy? You would not be the first. Even my own tribe mocked me for studying our history, cast me out for vying for peace. And now, here I am.

It sounds like you're no longer my enemy.

No. No, I am not. Very few seem to accept this fact. I appreciate that you do.

Perhaps I can hear your story?

I tried to convince our leaders that our war with the humans would end poorly for us. The cost of waging two wars weakened the humans greatly, but they would soon be left with only one enemy: us.

(If human)

And with the tribes already unable to defeat us...

You humans. Ever so smug and cocky. Even so, with the treaty between humans and charr progressing, it would soon free up resources necessary for fighting us.

But would that really help so much?

I have heard much of charr technology, though our leaders think it impossible. With charr technology, powerful range explosives and armored siege engines, the humans could destroy us.

(If charr)

What do you mean?

Historically, the humans have been weakened by battle on multiple fronts. But with their upcoming peace treaty with the charr, that would soon change"

I see where this is going.

With charr technology, powerful ranged explosives and armored siege engine, the humans could destroy us.

They cast you out for being reasonable?

Ulgoth the Mighty and his followers do not allow dissent within the tribe, especially not a weak historian like myself. They would have killed me, had I not escaped.

Maybe you're better off out here, then.

I hadn't thought about it that way. Good point.

Good point. You're pretty smart.

Good-bye.

You're welcome.

I should do more than laugh, beast.

I hear that a lot, and yet, here I stand. Perhaps I deserve your wrath, but as I stand here bereft of weapons, none have yet attacked me.

All right, why are you here, then? (Same as "Perhaps I can hear your story?")

Maybe next time.

That sounds awful! Why would they do that?

They did not take kindly to my view of our war. Though I thought only of what was best for our tribes.

What do you mean? (Same as "Perhaps I can hear your story?")

That's horrible. Good luck.

I just want to hear your story. (Same as "Perhaps I can hear your story?")

For non-humans

Greetings, <Character race>. Do the humans treat you as poorly as they do me? No, I think it unlikely. What can this lowly outcast do for you?

Do they all treat you badly?

Most, but not all. They understandably see me as a reminder of a great threat, though I am no longer accepted within the tribes. There are those who understand and forgive, however.

What happened?

What did you expect? You've been enemies for ages!

This is true, and I accept the scorn I receive with little complaint. It would take much to convince the humans that I am not a spy for the tribes.

True enough, so what's your story?

Hey, at least you're alive, right?

For now, certainly, though it has been a narrow enough thing.

What do you mean?

I just want to hear your story.

Good-bye.
