Ambient dialogue[edit]
- In the General's Quarters (only present after completing The Invitation)
- Warmaster Jhavi Jorasdottir: She was the only one who saw me as Jhavi. Not Jhavi Jorasdottir. Just Jhavi.
- Marjory Delaqua: You trusted Almorra, right?
- Warmaster Jhavi Jorasdottir: With all my heart.
- Marjory Delaqua: Then you know she made the right call when she chose you.
- Marjory Delaqua: You're looking grim.
- Warmaster Jhavi Jorasdottir: "The Vigil needs you." That was the last thing I said to her.
- Marjory Delaqua: I know what it's like. Losing someone you love.
- Marjory Delaqua: The wound heals with time, sure. But the scar? That's forever.
- Marjory Delaqua: It still hurts sometimes...and there's nothing you can do—
- Warmaster Jhavi Jorasdottir: But...move forward.
- Marjory Delaqua: We move forward.
- Warmaster Jhavi Jorasdottir: I don't know Kasmeer well. But I do know she's lucky to have you.
- Marjory Delaqua: All right, boss. What's next?
- Warmaster Jhavi Jorasdottir: Like I said. We move forward.
- Inside the keep (only present after completing What's Left Behind)
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): So many.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Should have seen it coming. The way the Svanir talk about their dragon.
- Relief Crew Agent: There's no way you could have seen...this.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): They were protecting their god. Was only a matter of time before they came for us.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Have you...found General Soulkeeper?
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): Almorra can handle herself. I'm sure she's okay.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): You checked the bodies? All of them?
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): She'll be back soon. Jhavi and the other missing people, too. They'll know what to do.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): It's not over.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): Without Almorra, it is. How many more of our friends' bodies do you need to burn to get that into your skull?
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): They did their job. We've still got ours. Long as we're breathing.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): If the others turned on us...
- Relief Crew Agent: You have to trust them. Not all norn follow Jormag.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Just the males.
- Relief Crew Agent: They follow the Raven, the Snow Leopard, the Wolf—
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Look around you. It's gonna happen again if somebody doesn't do something about it!
- Relief Crew Agent: We need them.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Do we?
- Inside the keep (only present after completing The Wind and Nothing More)
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): You're right. The general wouldn't want us to wallow.
- Relief Crew Agent: She was a warrior. The best we can honor her—
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): —Is to keep fighting.
- Relief Crew Agent: Can you imagine how upset she would be if she knew we had a ceremony for her?
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Yeah. I can.
- Vigil Relief Crew: No. No...
- Relief Crew Agent: She's...gone.
- Vigil Relief Crew: Where is she? Show me. I wanna see her.
- Relief Crew Agent: She went down fighting the Svanir. Dragon worshippers. It's what she would have wanted.
- Relief Crew Agent: She was...is a legend.
- Vigil Relief Crew: I'm going to kill every last one of those bastards.
- In the courtyard (only present after completing The Wind and Nothing More)
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): We're in good hands now that Jhavi's back—
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): —Without General Soulkeeper.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Jhavi's here, and she's ready to lead. We need to act.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): Almorra's still out there.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): The general is dead.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): I'm not following orders from Jhavi. She's one of them. Norn.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): What happened here wasn't Jhavi's fault. The Svanir don't even accept women.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): Dragon. Raven. Wolf. Spirits of the Wild—they're all false gods. What's the difference?
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): You knew this day would come. She's charr. You live to die on the battlefield.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): Is that what they taught you?
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Almorra was prepared. And she chose Jhavi to take her place. It's our duty to respect that.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Don't lecture me about duty, mouse.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Been...seeing things out there. Doesn't make sense.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): The light on the ice. It does that.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): The soldiers... They were sleeping in the snow.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Tried to wake them. They looked so peaceful. They were...smiling.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): Your eyes are just playing tricks. You need to rest.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): My sire died a long time ago... but I swear I could hear his voice in the pass.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): I heard someone singing. A lullaby from when I was little. Exactly how I remembered it.
- Near the Vigil Gate [verification requested]
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): Jora's Keep was home. A refuge for the lost... And now, I don't know where to go—
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): Even after Mordremoth died, my own friends didn't trust me anymore...
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): So I came here. Almorra... She saw something in me. She saw it in you too.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): The others... They won't look at me. Won't talk to me.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): Your people turned. Joined the Svanir and pledged themselves to Jormag. How did you expect the others to react?
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): What's it gonna take for them to see that I'm no traitor?
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): They'll come around. Or they won't.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): I felt so tired... I couldn't move. My eyes shut and–
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): –And then you heard it.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): The voice of a friend.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): "Everything will be all right."
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): I fought alongside him for years...since we were children. Took on Kralkatorrik together...and we won.
- Vigil Relief Crew (2): Jormag's influence runs deep.
- Vigil Relief Crew (1): I wouldn't have turned. If I'da been here...I'd have died fighting with the rest.
- Inside the storehouse
- Relief Crew Scholar: My—my detection console, my scanners... All destroyed. It's like they knew exactly where to hit us.
- Vigil Relief Crew: They had eyes on the inside.
- Relief Crew Scholar: How many of our reinforcements are norn?
- Vigil Relief Crew: Didn't get a good count.
- Relief Crew Scholar: I'll do it. Somebody needs to...to get an accurate inventory of Vigil personnel.
- Vigil Relief Crew: Right. An "inventory."
- Relief Crew Scholar: Slaughtered our people. Destroyed my equipment. Took Almorra hostage. Flux it all.
- Vigil Relief Crew: What would the Svanir need her for?
- Relief Crew Scholar: If only I'd put a tracker on her, we could find out. Rescue her.
- Relief Crew Scholar: I suppose I can start over from scratch.
- Vigil Relief Crew: We're Vigil. We move forward, always.
- Relief Crew Scholar: Yes, three dragons down, three to go.
- Vigil Relief Crew: Three to go.
- Vigil Relief Crew: Someone was following me out there.
- Relief Crew Scholar: You're in shock. It's common after something—
- Vigil Relief Crew: No! I heard...voices...
- Relief Crew Scholar: Do you think Jhavi's authorized to approve replacements for my scanners?
- Vigil Relief Crew: I'd wait. She's been through a lot.
- Relief Crew Scholar: Oh, uh–of course. Maybe she'll allow for some upgrades to the detection console. Won't cost...much.
- Vigil Relief Crew: (sigh)
- Outside the keep, a trio of Vigil members arrive from the west and resume their patrol back to Spirits' Refuge
- Vigil Marksman: Jhavi's been keeping Drakkar busy. To be that close to the source of the whispers... I don't know how she does it.
- Vigil Recruit: Rage. She desires revenge. You know what Drakkar did to Svanir.
- Vigil Crusader: Yes, the legends of Svanir have only grown more relevant these past weeks.
- Vigil Marksman: They're not legends. They are a history we cannot repeat.
- Vigil Crusader: Well, I know one thing at least: Jhavi's the last norn I'd want as a blood enemy.
- Vigil Recruit: Ha! Yeah, never thought I'd say this, but I almost feel bad for Drakkar.
- Vigil Marksman: Almost. Come on, let's stay focused.
