Dialogue

During Seer Artifact, interacting with the artifact

A thick layer of dust covers a strange, tubelike object on the table before you. You can make out unfamiliar symbols on it, but you aren't sure what it is or says. Do you want to pick it up?

Pick it up.

During Greater Understanding, with Historian Tranton

It's an honor.

Tranton, I found this artifact; any idea what it might be?

Let me take a look!

Here you go!

Where did you get this?

Uh... under a...rock. A very strange rock. (Lie)

In Arah. (More believable lie)

Hmm, I've seen similar markings before, on the entrance to the Bloodstone Caves. Perhaps there's some connection?

All right. Thanks for your help as always.

Let me know if you find anything interesting!

Right, yes. Of course.

On second thought, perhaps I should keep it to myself...

I'm sure.

During A Call to Action, with Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper

Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper: Fight by our side to quell the beasts of turmoil!

Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper: Stand with me, jotun! Stand with me, Forgotten! Mursaat and dwarves! Fight by our side!

Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper: The Elder Dragons bring terror to our world, but together we can protect ourselves.

Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper: Alone, we will be brought to ruin and bone. Tyria, destroyed.

Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper: But if we fight back as one, we can claim the world as ours. Our magic will not be their game.

Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper: Cut down their champions. Hollow their places of refuge. Until we can rest, neither can they.

During Awakening, with Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper

You have rid this world of a great evil. I can now find rest. As a parting gift, I have activated that weapon you have been carrying. May it aid you in battles to come.

Enjoy your rest.
