Dialogue[edit]
- At the Black Ice Pass
- You've proven yourself a strong and loyal ally to the kodan. How may I reciprocate?
I have a question. Where do these Braziers come from?
- Kodan Snowcaller: These braziers are gifts from Koda, the one true creator of the world.
- Kodan Snowcaller: The flames provide offense against the severe cold.
- Kodan Snowcaller: As long as Koda continues to deliver these braziers to us, we know we are on the right path.
- Kodan Snowcaller: You also must learn to use them to your advantage. So long as you fight at our side, you are welcome to.
- I'm curious about the origins of the Kodan. What can you tell me?
- Kodan Snowcaller: Long ago, Koda, the Ancient One, Founder of the Earth, Keeper of the Sky, formed the world.
- Kodan Snowcaller: In the beginning, the spirits of the world were wild and untamed.
- Kodan Snowcaller: Then one day, a bear stood up on two legs and saw that the spirits of the world were restless and chaotic.
- Kodan Snowcaller: The bear could not understand the endless cycles of creation and destruction.
- Kodan Snowcaller: And so the bear was the first creature to speak, and with her first words, she asked Koda, "Why is this so?"
- Kodan Snowcaller: Koda was pleased and made an offer to the bear. "If you would watch and learn, then watch and learn."
- Kodan Snowcaller: "One day, your offspring will protect and guide this world's spirits."
I'm fine, thank you.
- At the lower level of Sorrow's Eclipse Sanctuary
- What can I do to assist you, friend?
- I have a question. Where do you come from?
- Kodan Snowcaller: The kodan are an ancient race. My ancestors come from far north of here, out among glacial mountains and sea.
- Kodan Snowcaller: When Jormag rose, we feared the world had lost its balance.
- Kodan Snowcaller: Many of our sanctuaries, our city-ships, were scattered by the dragon. Many destroyed.
- Kodan Snowcaller: We kodan are here to return the world to a state of balance in Koda's name.
- Kodan Snowcaller: It is nature's way to seek the point of purest equilibrium. We're here to ensure it happens.
- You and the norn have similar beliefs. Don't you find that interesting?
- Kodan Snowcaller: In the beginning, the kodan tribes spread across the land. Their journeys were bounded only by the seashore.
- Kodan Snowcaller: And everywhere they went, they brought balance. They watched, learned, and hunted, and so served the will of Koda.
- Kodan Snowcaller: Time passed. All things grow and all things die, even the glacier is not unchanging.
- Kodan Snowcaller: There came the dragonstorm, and it did not end though season after season, generation after generation, passed.
- Kodan Snowcaller: Our seers, the Voices of Koda, said it was again time to wait, watch, and learn, but not act.
- Kodan Snowcaller: With their thick white fur, my ancestors would be safe. Waiting, however, was not easy. They could not hunt.
- Kodan Snowcaller: In the sanctuary halls, the rumbling of bellies echoed like the roaring of bears.
- Kodan Snowcaller: In answer to your question, which I have not forgotten, I will tell you a story.
- Kodan Snowcaller: It's the tale of a Claw who lost his Voice to the dragonstorm and subsequently refused to stay safely hidden.
- Kodan Snowcaller: He said that fur or no fur, storm or no storm, a hunter hunts.
- Kodan Snowcaller: He and several others went out into the storm to seek hunting grounds in the dry southern lands, where the snow fell gently.
- Kodan Snowcaller: And they were never seen again.
- I'm fine, thank you.
- At the upper level of Sorrow's Eclipse Sanctuary
- Greetings. Welcome to the warmth of Koda. Is there anything I can do for you?
- Thank you. I'm curious about kodan sanctuaries.
- Kodan Snowcaller: The last time the dragons awoke, our ancestors took to the north seas to escape them.
- Kodan Snowcaller: When the storm of the last awakening had finally passed, my ancestors saw their gift from Koda.
- Kodan Snowcaller: Great sections of the seas had frozen, creating floating islands of ice.
- Kodan Snowcaller: And those kodan climbed onto them and so found a way to live upon the sea.
- Kodan Snowcaller: And they watched and they learned and they hunted.
- Kodan Snowcaller: I wish you can have seen our sanctuaries before Jormag blew them to the four winds. They were majestic.
- Kodan Snowcaller: We built them on ice floes or glaciers floating upon the frigid sea. It is now our tradition.
- I'm fine, thank you.
