Dialogue

Welcome to the Crown Pavilion, <Character name>. I do hope you're planning on entering the Queen's Gauntlet just above. A <Character specialization> of your caliber would be an exceptional test for our watchknights!

I've seen the new watchknights, yes. They're impressive.

Appreciated. Yes, following the Lake Doric campaign, we've made incredible progress, I think. These new watchknights are stronger and safer than ever before.

I have another question.

Sounds like quite the upgrade.

So I can fight these new watchknights?

All enemy combatants in the pavilion are watchknights. We shroud them with mesmer magic to match our desired aesthetic. In a real battle, of course, there's little need for such illusions.

You've recreated all sorts of opponents. How do you know they're accurate?

In come cases, the watchknight behavior is based on directly-sampled data. In others, on historical records. But we pride ourselves on being as close to reality as possible.

I have another question.

Sounds like a fun challenge!

Interesting. I'll look forward to field testing the latest model.

I might have the free time to do a little sparring.
