Dialogue[edit]
- Welcome to the vault, Wayfinder. Please be mindful of the artifacts that surround us. Only a few will flay your mind simply for making contact, but I don't think that's a risk you want to take.
- What is this place?
- The wizard's personal vault, and I am its caretaker. Please, what can I enlighten you on? We may be at war with the Kryptis, but I'm always eager to educate a curious mind on our work here.
- Where did you get these objects?
- I was told something about rewards. Did you need help with anything?
- Ah, yes! Now that we've an asset as curious as you—and one who's able to easily navigate civilian Tyria—we're most interested in trading your knowledge for...well, some of yours.
- I'm listening.
- Whichever task you choose to pursue are very much up to you. Should your efforts turn fruitful, I'd be willing to share some of our spoils. We've a number of artifacts I'd be willing to part with.
- Color me interested! What else can you tell me about the vault?
- What about you? How did you join the ward?
- I was in the Priory for a long while. The Wizard's Tower had always fascinated us, but...it frustrated me that we couldn't know more. We knew that something operated in Tyria's shadow, but what?
- Hold up. The Priory knows about...all this?
- On the whole, they suspect. I imagine someone in that organization knows the whole truth, but they have worked with Isgarren to shut down the whispers... I eventually decided to find out for myself.
- How did you find out?
- Narcisse—I believe you've met—was a former Archon. She and I shared curiosities, so when she went off on some grand adventure, I followed.
- Wait—was it that easy?
- In a way, yes, but I imagine no one learns of this place and its secrets and maintains that knowledge without someone's permission. Had Isgarren not thought me an ally, I'd be in the Priory archives.
- Interesting. What else can you tell me.
- Hold that thought—I need to take care of something.
- (When attempting to touch the Intriguing Object in the room.) Do Not
- (When touching the object anyway after the warning) Dare I trap every device in this vault with a poisoning spell upon touch? If. I. Must.
