Dialogue

(If norn)

May Raven—and the Durmand Priory—watch over you. What brings you here today?

(Otherwise)

May Kormir—and the Durmand Priory—watch over you. What brings you here today?

(If in the Durmand Priory)

I'm between missions. And you?

I'm here to gain an audience with Knut Whitebear. The Priory wishes to excavate Lake Mourn. We have evidence that some of the original settlers sank important pottery there.

Pottery?

We suspect they painted their pottery with images of Jormag, and our hope is that the paintings will give us a clue to the dragon's weak spot.

Do you know where to look?

It will be a long and cumbersome project. By now, the pottery will have been buried under feet of silt. It may not have survived. But, we must look, and we need Whitebear's permission.

I see. Good luck.

Good luck.

Good luck.

(If not in the Durmand Priory)

You're with the Priory? Can I ask you about it?

Ask away.

What is the Durmand Priory?

We're an organization dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, both ancient and modern. Knowledge of the past leads to wisdom in the present, and that shapes our future.

I have another question.

That's interesting. But I must be going.

What is your mission in the Durmand Priory?

Currently, my mission is to find any ancient knowledge that will help us defeat the Elder Dragons. I've traveled across Tyria, hunting through ruins, for anything that might give us a leg up.

I'd like to ask something else.

That's interesting. But I must be going.

What is the history of the Durmand Priory?

Ah, that is quite a tale. Do you have time to listen? Or would you prefer we talked about something else?

I'd like to hear the history of the Durmand Priory.

In his day, a great Krytan scholar named Durmand compiled a true and honest history of Tyria. This began long before the Orrian flood, before the city of Lion's Arch sank.

And?

He built a monastery on the cliffs of the southern Shiverpeaks, so high above the flood waters that it survived the Orrian flood.

What happened next?

Durmand's monks, scholars, and scribes took it upon themselves to save as much Krytan and Ascalonian knowledge as they could. If they hadn't, it would have been lost.

And?

Since then, members of the Durmand Priory continue to collect knowledge about Tyria's long-forgotten history and legends. We also document current events for future generations.

I have another question.

Thank you for sharing, but I must be going now.

I have another question.

I have to go. Good-bye.

I have another question.

I have to go. Good-bye.

I have another question.

I have to go. Good-bye.

Yes, something else. I don't have time for long-winded tales.

I need to go back to what I was doing. Farewell.

Where is Durmand Priory headquarters?

The Durmand Priory is in the southern Shiverpeaks. It occupies a great cliff to the southwest, near Lornar's Pass and overlooking Lion's Arch.

I'd like to learn more about the Durmand Priory.

Thank you. Farewell.

(If haven't joined an order)

I'd like to join the Durmand Priory.

We have our eye on you <character name>, trust me. But, your time is not yet here. When you're ready, you will know.

Okay.

I'm just passing through.
