Xeniph is a ghost found at Defender's Field. In life, she was a blacksmith who served Ebonhawke; she died before she was able to complete a powerful blade intended to fight the charr. In death, the Pact Commander shows her post-treaty Ascalon and helps her finish the blade—now as a weapon to protect the peace between humans and charr.
She is only visible after a Ectoplasm-Infused Vision Crystal has been used to unlock the Guide to Greater Understanding collection. Once she has been spoken to, she disappears to the next location.
Locations[edit]
Dialogue[edit]
- At the first location
- (if charr)
- You... you're talking to me. Why would you talk to me?
Who are you?
- Xeniph. I've seen your kind here before. But I don't understand... you come here to pay respects, not desecrate.
- The treaty of Ebonhawke was signed.
- Treaty? With the charr? But... I was building a blade to fight your kind. It embodied the very spirit of Ebonhawke.
- The old spirit, I'm guessing.
- I must finish the blade to go free. Yet how can I represent this new Ebonhawke?
You need a guide to show you the world through different eyes.
- (otherwise)
- You... you're talking to me. How are you talking to me?
- Who are you?
- Xeniph. I'm sorry, it's just been so long since anyone's heard me.
- Why were you moaning?
- I see a world that doesn't make sense! Charr walking among humans, mourning beside us...
- The treaty of Ebonhawke was signed.
- What? How...? I was building a blade. To battle the charr. It embodied the very spirit of Ebonhawke!
- The war is over.
- I can't move on until I finish the blade. And it must represent the spirit of Ebonhawke... even this new one. Will you be my guide?
- My eyes are yours.
- At the second location
- These mines are so different now.
- You knew this place before the Brand.
- Yes. The materials here were sound. I used them extensively in my forge. It's strange...
- What is?
- Seeing humans fighting alongside charr. I spent my whole life building weapons to kill them.
- Change is the only constant—even for the dead.
- At the third location
- (if charr)
- I see that your fellow charr fight day and night to bring this world back to war. I guess not much has changed after all.
- Renegades and human separatists make a lot of noise, but they are few.
- Even if what you say is true, mutual hatred is still part of this land, so it must be part of my blade.
- There is still more for you to see.
- (otherwise)
- You see! These charr fight day and night to drag this world back to war!
- Human separatists are just as much to blame.
- I guess not much has changed at all.
- Factions of hate might be loud, but they're few.
- It may be as you say. But great or small, that discord is part of this land, so it must be a part of my blade.
- There is still more for you to see.
- At the fourth location
- I'd heard stories of this place, but could never visit it. The charr held it, back in my time.
- It's quite peaceful, aside from drakes and harpies.
- Seems even in nature there's a constant contest between peace and strife.
- Perhaps that delicate balance is the point.
- At the fifth location
- I've seen this new Ebonhawke. It still bleeds from war, but there is something new that I didn't have in my own time.
- What's that?
- Hope. I think I'm ready to forge the blade. Join me where we first met.
- I will.
- At the final location (without an Oiled Orichalcum Greatsword Blade)
- I'll need an Oiled Orichalcum Greatsword Blade.
- I'll return with one.
- At the final location (with an Oiled Orichalcum Greatsword Blade)
- This sword will represent a new Ebonhawke. It is no longer meant as a weapon of war, but as a means to protect peace.
- And I will use it for that very purpose.
- Thank you. I don't know if this new Ebonhawke will last, but for the first time in a long time, I have hope.
- Rest now. You've earned it.
