Dialogue[edit]
Talking to Queen Mahtab:
- If asura:
- Queen Mahtab: I remember Orr when it was the greatest kingdom in the land. And now, look at it.
- Queen Mahtab: Orr was drowned in the ocean by one of our own viziers, to save us from the charr.
- <Character name>: You're not alone. My people were driven from our homes. By Primordus.
- If charr:
- Queen Mahtab: I remember Orr when it was the greatest kingdom in the land. And now, look at it.
- Queen Mahtab: Orr was buried in the ocean to save it from the claws of your armies.
- <Character name>: I've got more important things to do than argue with a cranky dead person.
- If human:
- If norn:
- Queen Mahtab: I remember Orr when it was the greatest kingdom in the land. And now, look at it.
- Queen Mahtab: Orr was drowned in the ocean by one of our own viziers, to save us from the charr.
- <Character name>: I understand. My people lost our homeland as well. Because of Jormag.
- If sylvari:
- Queen Mahtab: I remember Orr when it was the greatest kingdom in the land. And now, look at it.
- Queen Mahtab: Orr was drowned in the ocean by one of our own viziers, to save us from the charr.
- <Character name>: If my actions here today can ease your pain, then I'll consider it a success.
- Queen Mahtab: My attempts to illuminate the reliquary have proven fruitless. Zhaitan's plague magic lingers.
- Queen Mahtab: I can't awaken the grounding crystals! How long will that wretched dragon's influence be felt?
- <Character name>: I may be able to help.
- If charr:
- Queen Mahtab: You are a crude creature, aren't you? Nevertheless, godspeed.
- If human:
- Queen Mahtab: I will accept any assistance, even from you. Godspeed.
- Otherwise:
- Queen Mahtab: You are a strange creature, aren't you? Godspeed.
Returning to Queen Mahtab after charging a grounding crystal and cleansed Grenth's reliquary
- If the power of the shrines has fallen as part of the map meta event Orrian Shrine Power Grid:[verification requested]
- Queen Mahtab: You've illuminated this reliquary, but there's more. The dragon magic is still interfering with the flow.
- Queen Mahtab: Until it's removed, the main reliquary will never be fully functional.
- If human(?) or charr:
- Queen Mahtab: You have not yet redeemed yourself. You must do what you can to free the magic current connecting the reliquaries.
- Otherwise:
- Queen Mahtab: Your honor shines about you. Please, do what you can to free up the magical current connecting the reliquaries.
- If all reliquaries are powered up as part of the map meta event Orrian Shrine Power Grid:
- Queen Mahtab: You've done it. You unblocked the magical current and illuminated the reliquary. I was never this happy in life.
- If human or charr:
- Queen Mahtab: You did so well, you redeemed your people a tiny bit. Now, begone from my sight before I change my mind.
- Otherwise:
- Queen Mahtab: Go with my best wishes for continued success.
After completing the Grenth task region:
- <Character name>: Come in, Exemplar. It's me. You doing all right?
- Exemplar Kerida: You know what they say. Distance makes the heart grow tastier.
- <Character name>: I believe that's "fonder." Makes the heart grow "fonder."
- Exemplar Kerida: Hm. No, that's definitely not it.
- <Character name>: That's exactly... Never mind. I found the trail of the Eye. It's here. I have two sources who saw it not long ago.
- Exemplar Kerida: This wasn't a competition. You don't have to sound so pleased with yourself.
- <Character name>: You're just saying that because I found it first. You going to join me?
- Exemplar Kerida: Soon. I plan to stop in Divinity's Reach and commandeer us some backup. Wait for me. Promise?
- <Character name>: Making no promises. Over. And. Out.
Talking to King Zoran:
- King Zoran: Well, hello! Welcome to Dwayna's reliquary, where love is the answer to your question.
- If asura:
- <Character name>: Are you being ironic?
- If charr:
- <Character name>: Don't be ridiculous.
- If human:
- <Character name>: How do you know what my question is?
- If norn:
- <Character name>: No, I don't think that's right.
- If sylvari:
- <Character name>: I can say with some confidence that it is not.
- King Zoran: We all yearn for something, whether we are adventurers like you, or a king, like me. If not love, for what do you yearn?
- <Character name>: Right now? I'm yearning to find Balthazar or the Eye of Janthir. Have you seen them?
- King Zoran: I love...that you would ask me that question. But, I have not.
- King Zoran: I have been too busy directing the efforts to clear the air here.
- King Zoran: Harmony cannot be restored if these great clouds of poison hang in the air.
- <Character name>: Let me guess. What you're doing is an act of love?
- King Zoran: Why, yes! You understand. Perhaps you will also assist? I see you have a bit of ley line on your nose.
- King Zoran: Do turn it toward the poison, won't you? It counters the effects.
After completing the Dwayna task region:
- Taimi: You won't believe what just happened, Commander. Guess. No, never mind, can't wait. Braham sent me a letter.
- Taimi: Would you like me to read it? Of course you would. He says, "Taimi. What did the commander do to Jormag?"
- Taimi: "Destiny's Edge—my guild—had it surrounded, and then... Suddenly, an anguished roar, and it returned to the ice."
- <Character name>: Stop. Do we have to do this now? I can't deal with both him and Balthazar.
- Taimi: He says the norn want him to kill Jormag. Why oh why did he put his arrow in that tooth?
- <Character name>: I don't have time for his tantrums. He just didn't think.
- Taimi: And... he didn't ask your permission either.
- <Character name>: (sigh) I could have protected him from this. He'll either change course, or we'll have to stop him.
- Taimi: But since Jormag's all snoozy, he doesn't have a chance of killing it now, does he?
- <Character name>: He better not. Talk to him. Maybe you can get him to see reason. It's never too late for him to do the right thing.
- Taimi: I don't know if he has a choice anymore. He's under a lot of pressure to live up to Eir's legend. And, he's so young.
- <Character name>: Older than you.
- Taimi: Only physically... Taimi out.
- Taimi: Oh, Rox sends her love. Really out.
Talking to Queen Yasamin:
- Queen Yasamin: My lord Balthazar has returned! (laugh) I am overjoyed!
- If asura:
- <Character name>: It is...fascinating, isn't it?
- If charr:
- <Character name>: It's unsettling.
- If human or sylvari:
- <Character name>: It is...amazing news, isn't it?
- If norn:
- <Character name>: It makes you think, doesn't it?
- Queen Yasamin: The best news of all. Soon Orr will be ours and we can coax the gods back. Balthazar was a sight for sore eyes.
- <Character name>: So you saw him? Here?
- Queen Yasamin: Oh yes. He came to visit his reliquary, and I was the first to greet him.
- Queen Yasamin: He was gracious and asked me to maintain the reliquary, but when he left, it went still.
- Queen Yasamin: These roaming undead hinder the flow of energy. We must feed them to the lava, to his fires. Help me!
- <Character name>: Feed them to the lava? Definitely sounds like the Balthazar I know.
- Queen Yasamin: (laugh) In the name of almighty Balthazar!
Talking to Queen Bahar:
- Queen Bahar: Mmmmm... What is this that enters the presence of Queen Bahar of Orr?
- If asura:
- <Character name>: I'm not a what! I'm trying to gain access to Abaddon's Reliquary so I can speak to Balthazar.
- If charr:
- <Character name>: Hello. I need to get into Abaddon's Reliquary so I can speak to Balthazar.
- If human or sylvari:
- <Character name>: Pardon the intrusion. I seek access to Abbadon's Reliquary so I can speak to Balthazar.
- If norn:
- <Character name>: I'm no trouble. I'm just looking for a way into Abaddon's Reliquary so I can speak to Balthazar.
- Queen Bahar: Balthazar is a crass god. Long after the Exodus, his followers were the ones who caused the most conflict.
- Queen Bahar: In my lifetime, we never managed to restore peace, and as I understand it, neither did my descendants.
- <Character name>: War is...unavoidable, I suppose.
- Queen Bahar: Which is why me must balance it with as much kindness as possible.
- Queen Bahar: Would you be so kind as to help remove the dreadful sickness that has befallen this land?
- <Character name>: I would. What can I do?
- Queen Bahar: Risen have infected Lyssa's springs. We must reclaim them. Go. Earn a queen's gratitude.
After completing the Lyssa task region:
- Taimi: Commander? Are you there? It's fine if you're busy. I suppose I could go do something else.
- <Character name>: I'm here Taimi. What's the matter?
- Taimi: I keep running and rerunning the simulation, trying to confirm our theory.
- <Character name>: And?
- Taimi: And I realized what a huge waste of time it is. Primordus and Jormag have withdrawn.
- Taimi: Since Balthazar can't pit them against each other, he'll turn his attention to another dragon.
- Taimi: And there's only two dragons left. So, it's gotta be one of the two.
- <Character name>: Good to know. We'll talk more when I'm less busy. Over and out.
