Ambient dialogue[edit]

Irena Airblade: These soldiers all trained hard at the fahrar, son.
Fost: They look mean.
Irena Airblade: Don't worry. Your primus will teach you how to look mean like that too.
Fost: How come I can't be a farmer, like you, Mother?
Irena Airblade: You may be, my boy. You'll discover your talents at the fahrar, and then we'll see.
Fost: I wish Father was here.
Irena Airblade: Your father's very proud of you, but he had work to do. You'll see him again soon. I promise.
Blood Legion Soldier: There's whiskey, and then there's charr whiskey. I once saw a human try to drink charr whiskey. Ha! He never got his voice back!
Ash Legion Soldier: Those weak-willed fools in the Flame Legion are blinded by the lie of faith! We'll teach them the error of their ways.
Ash Legion Soldier: I been to the Bane many times, but I ain't never seen them open the iris in the floor for underwater combat.
Citizen: Ah, rabbit jerky. That hits the spot.
Soldier: If you cannot kill an animal, blind it or break a leg. Make it regret fighting you.
Soldier: I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
Soldier: I don't think I've noticed this view before. Impressive.
Citizen (1): Why aren't we winning this war? Why isn't it over already?
Citizen (2): We need better leaders.
Citizen (1): What we need is a new Khan-Ur.
Citizen (2): Yeah, once we've got a Khan-Ur again, nothing's going to stop us.
Citizen: The city of ours is the greatest in the world. The pinnacle of charr achievement.
Adamant Guard (1): Well said, citizen, but we're not done yet.
Adamant Guard (2): Hardly. This is the greatest in the world, and it's only going to get greater.
Citizen: Sometimes I wish I was cut out for front-line duty, but like my primus always said: you can't pick your talents.
Blood Legion Soldier: We need to be careful how much we praise our engineering advances. Worship of anything, even technology, is utter madness.
Soldier (1): You hear anything from the front lines?
Soldier (2): Flame Legion's still fighting. The line's moving back. Slowly.
Soldier (3): We have to snuff them out once and for all and stomp on the ashes.
Citizen: This place is beautiful. Be even better without other races tromping here.
Citizen: When I get some time off, I'm gonna come back here.
Citizen: Hrm, a little raw rabbit would hit the spot. It's a little bitter, but delicious.
Citizen: Give me what you have. Time is wasting.
Soldier (1): Have you tried that new military-grade jerky they developed in Rata Sum?
Soldier (2): No. How is it?
Soldier (1): Too dry. Too thick. Not enough juice. Reminds me of bone.
Iron Legion Engineer (1): I was taught never to question orders.
Iron Legion Engineer (2): You were taught right. Fulfilling orders is your destination.
Iron Legion Engineer (2): Sometimes, however, you should question which road will get you there most efficiently.
Iron Legion Engineer (2): The most obvious one isn't always best.
Citizen: You're in the Blood Legion?
Blood Legion Soldier: I am. I fought with Rytlock himself on the front lines.
Citizen: Then I'm buying you a drink.
Citizen (1): I saw you at dinner last night. How you can eat that stuff?
Citizen (2): Meat's meat, and a charr's got to eat.
Soldier (1): Flame Legion's gone too far. They ought to have been wiped long ago.
Soldier (2): You know what they say: cut off a snake's head, and the body dies.
Soldier (1): Yeah. All we have to do is chop off Gaheron's head.
Within the Blood Tribune Quarters

When Rytlock is present

Blood Legion Centurion: The Smokestead repairs are taking longer than expected, sir.
Blood Legion Centurion: It's like breaking open an old log: once the damage is done, all sorts of nasty things start crawling out.
Rytlock Brimstone: I think a little incentive is in order. Requisition a keg of Ol' Tank Oil stout, on my authority.
Rytlock Brimstone: Offer it to the warband that works the hardest, and give them my regards. Dismissed!
Rytlock Brimstone: I'm very busy, Centurion. Deliver your report.
Blood Legion Centurion: Sir. We took out a Flame Legion squad near Lake Adorea. The last survivor...immolated himself rather than be questioned.
Rytlock Brimstone: Fanatics will do that. Then again, this may indicate that something bigger is brewing.
Rytlock Brimstone: Double the lakeshore patrols. And take at least two prisoners alive from now on, just in case.

When Rytlock is not present

Blood Legion Centurion: I have a message for Tribune Brimsone. Where is he?
Laria Sharpeye: He's not in, Centurion. Leave the message with me, I'll see that the tribune gets it.
Blood Legion Centurion: Leave it? With a cub like you? Ha! I'll take this to Fierhan Sparwind instead.
Laria Sharpeye: If you like. Both tribunes hate it when you treat them interchangeably, of course, but you know best.
Blood Legion Centurion: On second thought...here, take the message. And don't tell the tribune about this, okay?
Laria Sharpeye: Wouldn't dream of it, Centurion. Have a nice day.
Blood Legion Centurion: So you're Brimstone's little aide-de-camp. You're hardly more than a cub.
Laria Sharpeye: I'm old enough to perform my duties with distinction, sir. And I may be smaller than you, but I'm hardly "little."
Blood Legion Centurion: Ooh, fiesty! If you ever want to work for a real officer, come join my warband.
Laria Sharpeye: I don't think Tribune Brimsone would allow it, sir. But you can ask him in person when he returns, if you like.
Blood Legion Centurion: Oh...well, never mind, then. It's your loss. I'll speak with the tribune some other time.
Within the Citadel Stockade
Seneca the Relentless: You there! Give me any more lip, and I'll cut off your paws.
Seneca the Relentless: You eat when I say you eat. You work when I say you work. Got that?
Within The Command Core
Bhuer Goreblade: Erracus! Where in the flames is my flathead screwdriver? The little one!
Erracus the Wise: Same place I ALWAYS put it, Tribune. On your desk. It's probably under all that junk.
Bhuer Goreblade: You're lucky I tolerate your insubordination, Erracus. I could kick you into the Bane for less than that!
Erracus the Wise: And I'd kick your tail! You may not be a cub, but I'd whup you all the same, haha! And then salute you. Sir!
Bhuer Goreblade: Haha! Keep on thinking that, if it keeps you organizing my stuff. At ease!
Iron Legionnaire: You hear about the battle at Smokestead? They say it was nearly a rout out there.
Iron Legion Soldier: Yeah, more than one warband got smashed. But it had its share of heroes, too!
Iron Legionnaire: True. I did hear about one warband. Also, Tribune Brimstone went up against Barradin himself!
Iron Legion Soldier: Wish I could been there. Seeing that'd almost be worth getting killed for.
