Dialogue

Asura Priory Researcher found in the Waste Hollows

A word of warning. Don't know how much experience you've had with the Risen, but you'll want to give them a wide berth.

What are you doing here?

The Priory sent me to observe the agrarian techniques of the Risen farmers. To note how farming techniques have changed in the two and a half centuries since Orr disappeared into the sea.

What have you noticed?

If you watch them, they do the same thing--tilling away at dead, barren soil with old rotting implements--day and night. Despite the fact that nothing can grow here. It's just what they know to do.

They never stop?

They will stop...if you get too close. Then they use that farm tool to attack you. Not stopping until one of you is a lifeless heap on the same dead soil. If it's you, they simply go back to their tilling.

Sounds tragic.

The tragedy it[sic] they only kill because we're trespassing on their land. If we'd left them to their existence, they'd just be farmers. Corrupted, but peaceful. In a way, we're making them killers.

Zhaitan made them killers. They were peaceful before they were Risen.

Then I'll just leave them to their task.

I'll try.
