Kogga: The Gilded Hollow has a lot of history. We've just got to uncover it!

Kogga: I hope the Exalted don't mind us using the place. I mean, they didn't need it anymore, right?

Kogga: Archaeology's kind of a hobby...but I'm hoping to make it more of a profession.

Brine Clutchall: Everything going well? Need anything?

Guild Initiative Representative: We need to clear this tunnel to get to the good stuff further down.

Guild Initiative Representative: Which do you prefer? A pick or a shovel?

Guild Initiative Representative: Nothing wrong with a little honest work.

After claiming your guild hall, but before Tavern Restoration 1: Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Hello there, friend! I'm the, err, provisioner sent from the Guild Initiative. Meaning, I make the chow.; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Those shortsighted desk jockeys suggested a mess hall, but what we need is a proper tavern. Right?; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: I'll get something temporary set up while we plan a permanent establishment. Something classy. With beer.

After Tavern Restoration 1: Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Great! I'm glad you agreed to "tavern" over "mess hall." You're clearly a smart bunch.; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Let's see what we can get set up for you!; (After Gamli runs over to the tavern); Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Very nice! Now we've got a proper place to have a pint!; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: This spot will be comfy for entertaining newcomers, workers, visitors, and guild members.; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Running a tavern takes a lot of work! I need to order supplies, stock the shelves, create a menu...; (After Rekka spawns at the central hollow waypoint but before she runs over to the tavern); Rekka: Congratulations, I've arrived. No celebrations, please. I just want to start mining.; (After Rekka runs over to the tavern); Rekka: Hey there! Barkeep! Whose ear do I bend about getting mining operations started around here?; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Mining? But you just got here! Pull up a chair, have a bit to eat.; Rekka: Eating? I've got no time for eating! There's stuff in the ground, and we need it!; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: You're very passionate about your work. What are you looking to mine, anyway?; Rekka: Raw aetherium! Initiative surveyors discovered an unusual concentration of it here. We might even hit a mother lode!; Rekka: That aetherium could provide a tremendous source of magic—once we dig it up. Now can you see why I'm so excited?; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: I can! Still, you can't mine on an empty stomach. Sit and eat. An official will come to discuss the mine soon enough.

After Tavern Restoration 2: Gamli Aðalsteinnson: This new tavern is a sight to see! I'll admit, I wasn't sure we'd get it repaired properly.; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: But look at it now! Why, anyone would be proud to have a drink and share a story here.; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: You've done well getting this place put together.; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: You think it's nice now, wait 'til I start serving my famous rabbit stew!

After Workshop Restoration 1: Kensho Arrowsoul: I am pleased that you recognize the value in establishing a scribal workshop.; Kensho Arrowsoul: I will oversee a temporary space to begin our work. Hopefully soon the guild can create a more permanent studio.; Kensho Arrowsoul: This will be an adequate beginning. We have pen, and ink, and shelter.; Kensho Arrowsoul: Let us embark upon the ever-challenging study of magical scripts.

(After Castor Shoutsman, Brine Clutchall, and Sophia Carriker arrive at the central hollow waypoint)

Caster Shoutsman: This place is epic, epic, epic!

Brine Clutchall: You can say that again!

Sophia Carriker: But please don't.

Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Welcome to our tavern strangers! Are you the three Initiative specialists I heard would be joining us?

Castor Shoutsman: Congratulations, you are correct!

Brine Clutchall: He's always like that. You get used to it.

Sophia Carriker: Or you'll invest in earplugs.

Brine Clutchall: Brine Clutchall. I'm here to set up a market. A pleasure to meet you, barkeep.

Sophia Carriker: I'm Sophia Carriker, retired captain. Here to establish a war room for the guild.

Castor Shoutsman: Castor Shoutsman! Arena announcer extraordinaire!

Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Welcome, friends. I'm Gamli Adalsteinnson, proprietor of this tavern. Nice to meet you.

Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Feel free to grab some food and drink. I'm sure guild representatives will be here to discuss your specialties soon.

Brine Clutchall: Thank you, Gamli. I am hungry, come to think of it.

Castor Shoutsman: Ah, yes! Food fight!

Sophia Carriker: (sigh) Kormir, grant me patience.

After Workshop Restoration 2: Kensho Arrowsoul: My people say that teaching is also a lesson. It is true. In helping the guild, I have learned much.; Kensho Arrowsoul: The study of pen and ink is as old as the tengu. My people consider it a sacred and beloved art.; Kensho Arrowsoul: I hope that you will understand that I do not undertake this task lightly.; Kensho Arrowsoul: Sharing knowledge is difficult for the tengu. We have been betrayed by others in our past.; Kensho Arrowsoul: I trust you. I trust this guild. It is my honor to educate and serve those whom I respect.

Kensho Arrowsoul: Ah, you think I am so different? You judge too much with your eyes alone.

Kensho Arrowsoul: My purpose is to find purpose. Can you say the same?

Kensho Arrowsoul: If you wait by the river long enough, you will see the body of your enemy float by.

Kensho Arrowsoul: A grand day for an adventure.

Kensho Arrowsoul: The clock's ticking, and Tyria is at risk, hurry along now.

Kensho Arrowsoul: The sky above is bright and clear. I am grateful for every wind that rises.

After obtaining Market Restoration 1: Brine Clutchall: Wise move, starting reconstruction of the market. We'll need that to start up commerce.; Brine Clutchall: I want to make sure everything's perfect, so I'll go survey the build site.; Brine Clutchall: Well, it's a temporary setup, but it will suffice.; Brine Clutchall: We need more permanency if we want our customers to start forming habits.; Brine Clutchall: And by that I mean, if we want people to keep buying our goods!

After obtaining Market Restoration 2: Brine Clutchall: Finished at last!; Brine Clutchall: Money for me, merchandise for the guild...; Brine Clutchall: Then a little money for me, a little more merchandise for the guild...; Brine Clutchall: And then, when I retire, I buy a sweet little vacation house in Garenhoff. Right by the lake!; Brine Clutchall: We're going to have a beautiful future, my friend. A beautiful future.

After Mine Excavation 1: Rekka: Finally! We're breaking ground on the mine! Uh, literally and figuratively speaking.; Rekka: Let's go see what the dig site looks like!; Rekka: Hmm. Not bad, not bad at all! Solid geology. Plenty of room for expansion.; Rekka: I just know we're going to find tons of raw aetherium here. You'll see!; Rekka: And in that vein...heh...I do have some thoughts about increasing efficiency.; Rekka: For example, do the miners really need three entirely separate meal breaks? Why not eat everything at once?; (After Kensho arrives at the central hollow waypoint); Kensho Arrowsoul: Greetings. I have come to share my wisdom with your guild.; (After Kensho walks over to the tavern); Kensho Arrowsoul: Greetings, tavernmaster. May the winds lift you to glory.; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Winds...? Uh, well, thank you. May the winds lift you...a beer.; Kensho Arrowsoul: Beer, you say? Ah, yes. I would like some of this beverage. Thank you for your offer.; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: Before you drink anything, I should ask you-have you had beer before?; Kensho Arrowsoul: Only once, when celebrating the death of Zhaitan with some norn in our trading post. It is...quite pleasant, this beer.; Gamli Aðalsteinnson: We're going to get along just fine.

After Mine Excavation 2: Rekka: Excellent. Expanding the mine will allow us to increase production!; Rekka: We're definitely going to need more aetherium storage tanks.

After Mine Excavation 3: Rekka: I'm very pleased. This place is finally starting to look like a functional mine.; Rekka: Since we have the space, I'm thinking we should move the miners' beds in here. Get rid of that wasted travel time!

After War Room Restoration 2: Sophia Carriker: Finally finished! It's a weight off my mind to see this place complete.; Sophia Carriker: New tactics, guild badges, soldiers, crafting... This will give the guild a fighting chance!; Sophia Carriker: I wish I could go out and fight, but those days are over for me.; Sophia Carriker: I'm content to stay in the war room and help where I can.; Sophia Carriker: Anytime you need me, I'll be here.
