Dialogue

Before completing the heart

I've never seen a land so at war with itself. Storms, the strangers... Even the tides feel unsteady.

Be careful out here.

Can you let me know how I'm doing? (Show Renown Mastery Achievement)

What all[sic] can I do to help out around here?

Arid Esker: Know this place, you do. This is where we keep up with the ongoings in the northern part of Janthir Syntri.

Arid Esker: In this location, a few of our bearkin are working on a solution for the lightning ravaging the coast and decimating the forest.

Arid Esker: Up here on the coast, we're cleaning up the remains of wildlife that were devastated by... something.

Arid Esker: Our scouts told us an artist took a keen interest in this area. What with all the trouble in these parts, it might be a good idea to check on him.

Arid Esker: Right here, just along the riverbank, I've heard that a strange creature comes upon our shores when the Mists Tide grows near.

Arid Esker: Finally, we've got several spots around here that could use supply crates. While you're at it, if you wouldn't mind putting out any fires you see, that'd be much appreciated.

Do you have anything for sale? (only if previously completed the heart)

No.

After completing the heart

Welcome back. Looking to buy, are you?

Can you let me know how I'm doing? (Show Renown Mastery Achievement)

What have you got?

Do you have any extra lightning rods? I have my own research to conduct.

Looking to find out more about these strangers, are you? Go ahead, have some. I've got plenty. (Gives   Construct Lightning Rod)

Thanks.

I misplaced my lightning rods. Can I have some more?

Keep a closer eye on these ones, hmm? (Gives   Construct Lightning Rod)

Will do.

No, thank you.

Reaching the camp (after having completed the paint event^{[verification requested]})

Niall: Wayfinder, come. Arid Esker was going to walk me through your paintings.

Niall: Footprints, are they? This isn't a method of research I'm familiar with. How does this work?

Arid Esker: Did you see these impressions? Here and there? Tose evoke the depth of the footprint.

Arid Esker: And the pattern here—that is how the painter suggests the texture of the footprint.

Arid Esker: This one clearly belongs to the stranger of storm. This line is suggestive of a deep crack in the earth.

Niall: Ah. Using that logic, this one is suggestive of the titan's spawn. The smaller minions that follow the main speciment.

Arid Esker: Aye. An artist, the wayfinder is. There's much to learn using intuitive methods.
