The Edge of the Mists

Ambient Scenes

Sheriff Siriam: So, Canach, why didn't you escape with Mai? In all this confusion, it would have been easy for you.

Canach: Scarlet's forces didn't even glance my way. I should be offended, but for once I'm glad to have been overlooked.

Canach: Yes, Scarlet and I share a certain...fixation on self-determination, but we are not natural allies.

Canach: I seek to define my role in this world. She seeks to tear this world down and use the rubble as her throne.

Canach: I've seen eyes like hers...in the mirror. She's not in control. Whatever drives her is destroying her day by day from within.

Canach: But the truth is, I did not wish to escape. I've made more than my share of mistakes already.

Canach: I'm determined to serve my time and pay my debt. And even more determined not to put myself in this position again.

Canach: I met Scarlet briefly when she went by the name Ceara. She treated me with slight regard then, as well.

Canach: The Consortium isn't likely to forget about me. Thankfully, I'm safe here, so that won't be an issue until my release.

Canach: Incarceration is hard. I don't mind the isolation, but the children chanting "karka killer" grows tiresome.

Canach: I am here until my time is served or someone buys my billet. Given my popularity, I expect to serve the full sentence.

Canach: A Southsun settler contacted me recently. She thanked me for my efforts, but decried my methods. I know how she feels.

Battle for Lion's Arch: Aftermath

So, you've killed Scarlet. I suppose you think you're a hero. Tell me, did she say anything before you snuffed her out?

She said Tyria would bow to a new master.

Speaking from experience, no one goes to these lengths without thinking they are doing some good. It raises a troubling question.

Which is?

What good did she think she was doing?

I can't say.

None of your business.

Festival of the Four Winds

I have never gotten many visitors, and I get even less since Scarlet attacked. Though from what I hear, I may not have to stay in this cage for much longer.

You getting out soon?

Possibly. Lion's Arch is so desperate for funds to help them rebuild, they've started auctioning off prisoner billets.

What's a billet?

It's a document that represents ownership of the time to which I was sentenced. Purchase someone's billet, and that person becomes answerable to you...and you become answerable for their actions.

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

It's strange to me as well. Sheriff Siriam can explain it better than I can, but I see it this way: Lion's Arch was built on trade, and this is just another business transaction.

So you're bartering your services for early release.

Exactly. In this case, it's double income for the city: they get the money in advance, and they save a fortune on what would otherwise go toward prisoner upkeep.

Do they let just anybody out?

No, only those who are no longer a threat to society or have demonstrated a sincere desire for rehabilitation. Like me, for example. I want nothing more than to put my lawless days behind me.

Like you, huh? Time will tell.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

Gates of Maguuma

They're letting me out soon. Someone's buying my billet. I don't know whom yet. All I know is that if one more person throws trash at me, I'll break out of this cage and shred them with my bare hands.

Having a rough time, are you?

There's a lot of sylvari hatred out there because of Scarlet. And I'm a captive target for their vitriol. I just wish my benefactor would hurry up and buy that billet.

Entanglement and The Dragon's Reach: Part 1

Hey. Big news. I'm getting out of the cage. I'm going to be a Shining Blade flunky. No complaints, mind you. My guess is they're fed fairly well.

Might give you some insight into how the other side works.

I suppose you're referring to the law-abiding side. Well, we could all benefit from that, couldn't we?

I'm going to be traveling westward.

There's some wild country out there. Wish I could go with you. That's just the kind of adventure I love. Some other time, perhaps.

We'll stay in touch.

I see.

I see.
