...Hyloch. Ha, the... the tourists really weren't lying when they kept saying it was a work of art.@
# Sui
It must be nice, living here... being able to ignore everything going on everywhere else...@
# Sui
<playername>, we need to find that... that so-called "number one" Sovereign! If we can do that, then... ha, then we can save Rex and Zeph.@
# Sui
Why not?! You're the one who wanted to- to rush into Deraj and free everyone without even stopping to think about it!@
# Sui
So why can't I?! The longer we wait, the more chances there are for s-something to happen!! We need to go already!@
# NOTE
The dialogue branches combine here.@
# Sui
Yeah, I have one. Find the Sovereign. Free Rex and Zeph. And get out of there!@
# Sui
I'll... f-fill in the details as we go. I will! We just need to go already!@
# Sui
...we don't have time to argue.@
# Sui
... I don't know.@
# Sui
I guess... the Canopy? We can bring them to the Canopy! That... that works...@
# Sui
Um... n-no, I guess not. But- but we can find someone who does, and- and force the information out of them!@
# Sui
We can do that. Captain Fuhue, she... told me about some of her methods! I just... need to find someone who... knows...@
# Sui
If- if that's what it takes!! We were able to k-kill Gikyo, weren't we?@
# Sui
Even if it was hard... and Majin is... probably stronger...@
# Sui
Good. Okay! To start with, we...@
# Sui
We just have to... um...@
# Sui
...@
# Sui
Okay, fine, maybe you're right! Just... ugh!! We have to do something!@
# Sui
...right. That's... smart. Word's probably spread from, um, Fort Hegea, hasn't it...? We'll need to blend in better.@
# Sui
And... we don't know how long it'll be until we... find the information we need. So... a place to say, too?@
# Sui
Okay. Find new clothes, and find a place to stay. That's a plan. We can do that.@
# Hyloch Citizen
Ah... tourists.@
# Hyloch Citizen
Looking for something?@
# Hyloch Citizen
Indeed, I am. I was raised here in Hyloch.@
# Hyloch Citizen
Though, in truth... I've never really left. I'm planning on enlisting in the military once I've completed my provincial tour.@
# Hyloch Citizen
I've been saving up for years for a round-trip ticket throughout the province... I'd like to see all of the less-fortunate regions firsthand.@
# Hyloch Citizen
I'm leaving just after the festival. Exciting, isn't it?@
# NOTE
The dialogue options return.@
# Hyloch Citizen
Hotels... hm. I know of several, though most have probably filled entirely for the upcoming festival.@
# Hyloch Citizen
There is a fancy hotel north of the bank... The Crown Jewel, I believe? It's probably far too expensive for you, however.@
# Hyloch Citizen
A fine question. I'm not too certain, honestly... growing up here has made me overlook things.@
# Hyloch Citizen
I know tourists typically travel here to look at all our mansions and castles, though. Perhaps you'd be interested?@
# Hyloch Citizen
Enjoy your stay.@

The dialogue ends here.@
# Hyloch Citizen
Praise be to her Majesty.@
# Hyloch Citizen
How might I help you this fine day?@
# Hyloch Citizen
As fine as one may be! Thank you for your inquiry.@
# Hyloch Citizen
I have been graciously afforded an hour off from my work, so I have chosen to take the time and... smell the roses. To admire the beauty of our city.@
# Hyloch Citizen
Ah... tourists from the lower districts, I take it? A fine use of your travel allotments.@
# Hyloch Citizen
You will want to visit the bustling market on the west side, it would be a shame to miss it!@
# Hyloch Citizen
And if you wish to leave the bounds of the city, I have heard one may find tour guides which will bring you to see the mountains!@
# Hyloch Citizen
Yes, Hyloch is known for its high fashion, isn't it? I'm certain you've heard about it... wherever you come from.@
# Hyloch Citizen
The famous House Til has placed a pop-up clothes shop to the north, if you're interested.@
# Hyloch Citizen
I wish you the best on your stay! Praise be to her Majesty!@
# Espren Tourist
Oh... darn it...@
# Espren Tourist
I should have thought about where I'd be staying... I've never taken a train before, so all my thinking went towards making sure that went well!@
# Espren Tourist
And now all the hotels except the Crown Jewel are fully booked! Will I... will I have to sleep on the street?@

Oh, what am I going to do...?@

Oh, I'll remember you forever! You've truly made this festival the best one yet!@

I can't wait to tell my old folk all about it! How the Queen had blessed me with this miracle...@

But, it wasn't the Queen that... oh, nevermind.@

Hello, hello! Care to buy any of our fine papers? Perhaps a magazine is up your alley today- quite the juicy bits of gossip I've heard.@

Hm... Do I want the Crown of Seraphim collection, or the Peacock Couture...@

Oh, this is important... a whole year's paycheck is going towards this!@

Heya! Tourists?@

Something like that.@
# Clothes Merchant
Well, it seems you're in luck! Considering this is a pop-up clothes stall, and all.@
# Clothes Merchant
I'm here representing House Til today. The new fashionable spring line has almost sold out, so shop now if you're interested!@
# Sui
Um... is this the fashion around here?@
# Clothes Merchant
Oh, yes. People from all across the province come to shop at these pop-up events.@
# Clothes Merchant
House Til is known for incorporating the designs from peacock feathers into their most extravagant garments!@
# Clothes Merchant
They come in a wide variety of available colours- all from the district's local dye production!@
# Sui
We don't need anything fancy. Just... show us the cheapest stuff you have, okay?@
# Clothes Merchant
My goodness! You must know fashion does not come cheap, miss! Please, allow me to recommend-@
# Sui
No. Just let us buy the cheapest stuff you have.@
# Clothes Merchant
Uh huh... well, alright. If you insist...@

Here, the cheapest I have available. In total, that will cost you... 32 EB.@

Mmn. Yes, that would certainly put a damper on things. Hm...@

I'm, um... not hungry. And I'm, ha, definitely not in the mood for a drink.@
# Sui
...you can, um, take a look around though. If- if you want. Just... don't take too long.@

We're in... room 5, apparently. I'll... leave the door open for you.@

Ah! What can I do for you today?@
# Receptionist
The Highlands are known for thier very scenic walks and hikes! I would recommend walking around the lakes or hiking up to the mountains.@

Hyloch is also known for their very rich alcohol culture. We brew a lot of different beverages that can be enjoyed at our local taverns.@

We are not hosting any particular events at this moment because of the upcoming festival.@

...I had heard that about the Auburn Festival!@
# Espren Tourist
I can't say I expected word to reach Hyloch from over there. Though, let me say... so far, I am very impressed by how Hyloch handles festivities.@
# Hyloch Citizen
Why, the real festivities haven't even begun! You're in for a treat, my friend.@
# Hyloch Citizen
...by chance, would you let me show you around when the festival starts in full? I've enjoyed our talks so far.@
# Espren Tourist
I'd love that. I've never been outside the Auburn Forest before... so it would be nice to have someone to guide me, wouldn't it?@
# Hyloch Citizen
Wonderful! Then it's a date!@
# Espren Tourist
Ah, I'm so glad we meet again!@
# Espren Tourist
Even though you... barged into my room... er, isn't that against hotel policy?@
# Espren Tourist
...oh, well, I won't tell them. You did help me pay for the room, after all! I wish you all the best.@
# Espren Tourist
Maybe we'll meet again! Perhaps I could buy you a drink at the festival?@
# Sui
...oh, you're here. Are you done looking around?@
# Sui
So, um. I've been... planning our next steps. Finding a place to stay was... a good idea, I guess. You were right. I shouldn't... rush into it.@
# Sui
But this is a good place to regroup once we... once we get Rex and Zeph back. We should, ha, act as early as possible, though.@
# Sui
Stop that. You k-keep doing that, acting as if... a-as if the worst is inevitable! It's not helpful!@
# Sui
Well... don't!! I know already, I know they might be gone, but I- I can't think like that. I can't. I have to believe they're still... fighting!!@
# Sui
...um. Anyway, we should... l-look around the town. To try and figure out where they're being held. If we can figure that out, then...@
# Sui
Look around the town, I guess... try and figure out where that Sovereign is keeping them. If we can figure that out, then... we can save them.@
# Sui
We should start right away. Come on.@
# Sui
I can't, I can't, I can't. If I stop for... for even a second, I'll... I'll shatter. I have to keep moving. I have to.@
# Sui
What do you think?! NO, I'm not doing alright!! But I have to do something about it, or... or... I'll shatter.@
# Sui
You can... stay here and rest if you, um, need to. But I'm going to search the city for clues. By myself if... if I have to.@
# Sui
...okay. Thank you. Let's go.@
# Sui
Hm.....@
# Sui
This... this wind chime. Look at it.@
# Sui
...what? No, I'm looking at a wall. What do you think I was looking at?@
# Sui
These wind chimes. They're... a symbol of resistance in the Auburn Forest. S... um, Syndra told us about them.@
# Sui
The wind represents... freedom, and free will. But I wouldn't have expected the chimes to have made it all the way here...?@
# Sui
Could... could this mean what I think it does?@
# Sui
I was right... I was right! It's a symbol of resistance, th-that means Hyloch must have its own resistance!!@
# Sui
We... we need to seek them out, <playername>!@
# Sui
...oh. Right. Um, sorry. I just... got excited.@
# Sui
...oh. Oops. Let's um, hope I wasn't too loud...@
# Sui
A-anyway. I think there's... an inscription on the wind chime.@
# Sui
"The winds of change blow from the west, crashing waves of truth unto our shores."@
# Sui
...that must be where the resistance is! Let's- let's find them!@
# Sui
...oh. There... doesn't seem to be a resistance here. Just another wind chime.@

Does this one also have something written on it?@

Windchimes? I'm sorry? I haven't the faggiest idea what you mean. I've certainly heard of them down in the Auburn Forest, but here? What an odd thing to say.@
# Newspaper Merchant
But still, perhaps I can get you a paper. Out of curiosity... where might you two be from? I don't think I've seen you around here before!@
# Newspaper Merchant
Haha, oh dear. I asked where you were from, not the way you got here. So, let's try that one again! Where are you two from?@
# NOTE
The dialogue options reappear.@
# Newspaper Merchant
Ah, yes, and I found a gold bar in my mailbox today! Haha, you'll have to try harder to pull one over on me like that- no one's lived in the Mistwoods for ages! Now, be serious! I was genuine in asking.@
# Newspaper Merchant
So too we all do- from nothing but milk and love, as I've heard it's said, but if we were to talk about the origins of the universe we'd be here all night. So, where are you really from?@
# Newspaper Merchant
Ahaaa, I see! So you're looking for the people who seek the truth. A noble endeavour, certainly.@
# Sui
We'd, um, love to meet some more of these... truth... seekers...?@
# Newspaper Merchant
There's many a like-minded individual if you know where to look. So allow me to catch your eye with the Aelumia Times! It's the best way to keep up with current events.@

Column 9 will often print the phrase of the day. Read up, and pay close attention! Things will kick off here at midnight.@

I wish you two good luck on your endeavours. May we unearth the truth long buried and bring forth change.@

Th-thank you. Um... may we unearth the truth long buried and bring forth change!@

May we unearth the truth long buried and bring forth change. Never forget that.@

Finally! Finally, finally, something good is happening!@

I didn't even think there'd be a resistance in Hyloch... it just seems so... idyllic, here. Like... um, like they don't really have... issues.@

But... I guess we don't know what life is like here... um, either way, if they're a resistance, they have to have intel.@

Here, hand me that newspaper. Okay... Column 9... looks like today's phrase of the day is... "No such thing as a green Squirmle Pot?"@

Weird. But... I guess nobody's going to guess it!@

Okay. Okay... th-this is happening! Majin Thalas, "number one" Sovereign, we're coming for you...@

Um... I'll take the tacos, please.@
# Waiter
Coming right up! It'll just be a few minutes.@
# Sui
...it's nice here, isn't it? I hadn't... really let myself notice that before. I can see why people talk about the Highlands so much...@

I'm... ugh. I'm still so angry. At... everything! The crown, the sovereigns, the... the people of Hyloch, too!! For... for still living their lives, even, even when it feels like the world's ended.@
# Sui
...but we have some hope. F-finally. Rex and Zeph... there's still a chance we'll get to see them again.@
# Sui
And... is it weird that I kind of miss the Canopy, too? Even though they were... annoying, and overbearing, and- and kind of... scary?@
# Sui
...and Yusanu. I hope he's alright. I- I, ha, I really hope he can free his family too. I... I, um, don't want him to lose anyone either.@
# Sui
...I hope he doesn't hate me. After what I said to him.@
# Sui
Um... while we wait. Is there anything you want to talk about?@
# Sui
...it's weird. It feels like the ocean is... raging. Thundering storms and crashing waves, and... and still, it doesn't feel like it's at risk of drowning me?@
# Sui
Like... like I could take as much as I want and it wouldn't change a thing. And, ha, it scares me, a little. It's so... different, to how it was before, but...@
# Sui
...it feels right. Like this is how it always was supposed to be, and I just... didn't realize.@

Once it's... over...? I... I hadn't... let myself think about that...@

I, um. I actually... had a dream last night. But, ha, it was- it was just that. Just a dream.@

All of us... Rex, Zeph, the- the Roughworks boys... um, Mora, a-and Syndra... we were all laughing and, and having a good time at the Auburn Festival.@

When I... when I woke up, I- ha, I was c-crying. I- I know, I know! It's... stupid. It's stupid.@
# Sui
...it's, um, hard to pick out one moment. She's been like a mother to me ever since I was... 15 years old.@
# Sui
M-maybe the first time I really met her. After I discovered my... my gift, I thought my life was over.@
# Sui
I- I was cursed! And I knew what h-happened to the cursed. Taken away, never to be seen again... or, or killed outright. I had nowhere to go.@
# Sui
I, um... I'd seen Syndra around before. I... I knew she talked to Mora, before he... l-left our family. So... I, ha, I guess I thought... maybe she'd help me too.@
# Sui
A-and she did! She wasn't scared, she didn't report me. She just... embraced me in a hug and welcome me to her home.@
# Sui
She, um, reunited me with Mora again. After... f-five long years alone. She... she saved me, and now... and now she's...@
# Sui
...I never got to tell her how much she meant to me.@
# Sui
I... I hope you're right.@
# Sui
...okay. That's fine with me.@
# Waiter
And here we are with your orders! You fish tacos, young lady - sturgeon head packed with tangy cabbage, tossed in rice vinegar, crispy seaweed, and punchy umami sauce.@
# Waiter
And another order of fish tacos for you! Please, enjoy!@
# Waiter
And for you, the Bubble Heckel Miso Soup! A hearty broth simmered with today's catch and miso paste that ties all the flavours together! Enjoy!@
# Waiter
And for you, the Yak Potato Curry! A rich, aromatic dish seasoned with wild heather. Tender yak meat and new potatoes! You're in for a treat!@

Um... so this is a taco...?@
# Sui
I, I guess I don't know what I expected, but... um. Not this.@

Well. Let's dig in!@

Um... before we go to sleep... Is there anything you want to talk about?@

Now, Bleeding Rose. You were so excited to start us off earlier. You've been so quiet normally- how about you share first today?@

I... um, I heard a rumor that he'd picked up some prisoners from the Mistwoods.@
# Violent Heather
Ah! You spoiled my juicy scoop for tomorrow's edition! Yes, the rumour is true.@
# Violent Heather
Supposedly, he took these prisoners to his castle in the east. There is, according to other rumour, a dungeon underneath it. It'd make sense- why wouldn't a dictator have a dungeon for dissidents?@
# "Water Grass"
R-really? What else do you know?@
# Violent Heather
That there were specifically two prisoners, and, to bring it back around to Thorn Blade's news, that they're part of the Timasca Terrorists! Because of that, the guard around House Thalas is particularly tight recently.@
# Violent Heather
Incidentally, I was planning on selling this piece to the Aelumia Times. So, don't any of you go writing in before me.@

Look. I had to think on the spot, okay! I just needed a way out.@
# Sui
...was that really it? That's the resistance group around here...?@
# Sui
All they're doing is... is... is sitting around, gossiping about trivial problems! Like... like it's the end of the world!@
# Sui
An increase in bread prices...? No freebies from the festival...? Who cares?! People are... p-people are dying!!@
# Sui
And... and the one person who was trying to do something kept... k-kept getting shut down... ugh! Why did I think something could f-finally go right...@
# Sui
Whatever. At least their gossip got us some useful leads... we- we know for sure where Rex and Zeph are!@
# Sui
So... let's head to the castle, and- and take back our friends.@
# Sui
Violent Heather mentioned, um, a dungeon. That's probably where they're being kept... I- I can get them.@
# Sui
But... if we just go in, then... there'll probably be too many guards to take out. We need a distraction.@
# Sui
Could you... draw their attention at the front gates? I, um, I know you're strong enough for it, so... could you do that?@
# Sui
A-alright. Good. Good, good, good. Come on, let's save our friends!@
# Sui
Well... well, too bad. I need you to do it anyway. Come on.@
# Sui
Come on, let's save our friends!@
# Sui
...so this is it. House Thalas.@
# Sui
Oh, what I'd give to just... just... stick him full of spikes... ugh, but I can't.@
# Sui
I'll... search for them in the dungeons while you, um, cause a distraction.@
# Sui
However you... um, do that. Storm the castle, or... or whatever. Just... stay safe.@
# Sui
We'll meet back at the Crown Jewel once we're done. If... if either of us don't make it, then...@
# Sui
...then I guess it's over.@
# Sui
Are... are you ready?@
# NOTE
Let's do this!@
# Sui
Okay... okay. L-let's get them back!@
# Sui
Okay. Y-yeah. Just... um, hurry back here once you are.@
# NOTE
The dialogue ends without progressing the quest.@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh my, but if it isn't the province's most wanted criminal, striding forth into my House entirely of your own volition! Her predictions are as accurate as ever, it would seem.@
# Sovereign Majin
Quite a foolish thing to do, if you ask me... though I do suppose you have proven yourself something of a wild card these past weeks!@
# Sovereign Majin
But of course! We do hold the leverage here... you must have come in search of your dear imprisoned friends, haven't you?@
# Sovereign Majin
What a simple lure... but effective, evidently! It has drawn you in, right where we want you.@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh, really! My my, I would have never guessed - to think, holding them captive might draw you in! What an astonishing revelation.@
# Sovereign Majin
They are here, certainly. But you will not be seeing them. There are greater plans in motion, it would seem!@
# Sovereign Majin
Fight you?! and ruin my decor? Ha! Ahahahaha! Goodness, no, of course not. If I were, you would already be dead.@
# Sovereign Majin
Perhaps at some later date I might be more amenable to wiping the floor with you! But I'm afraid we have business to attend to.@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh, take that dour look off your face. Perhaps if all goes well, we might be willing to discuss returning those friends of yours! I certainly have no need to keep them.@
# Sovereign Majin
I mean, really, what use could I actually have had for those two? Waster my efforts pulling information out of them that I already know?@
# Sovereign Majin
It was pathetic, honestly. The two of them, sitting in front of me, sniveling like little babies...@
# Sovereign Majin
"Spare me, great Sovereign! Spare me, great Sovereign!"@
# Sovereign Majin
As if that would save them! Ha! Hahahahahaha!@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh, but what does it matter? They are not important, but you... it would seem Her Majesty has taken interest in you, heavens know why.@
# Sovereign Majin
But before that, seeing as you are a guest of honour here in House Thalas... allow me to lead you on a tour of the castle!@
# Sovereign Majin
You should feel honoured. Receiving such a personalized tour is quite an uncommon occurrence around here! Do feel free to write about it in your memoirs... if you ever get the chance.@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh no, dear guest, I'm afraid you are not. You do not have a choice in the matter, in fact!@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh, but I rather do insist! You've come this far, haven't you? And you're a guest of the House- it would be quite rude for you to decline.@
# Sovereign Majin
So come along, now. There's much to see, much to do! And we wouldn't want to keep her waiting, would we?@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh, did I forget to mention? There's someone who would like to meet you! Our Spymaster has finally returned from abroad, and she has much to say to you.@
# Sovereign Majin
Now. To begin with, to your left you'll see my personal library!@
# Sovereign Majin
I've amassed quite a large collection, you see. Numerous books written by famous writers from all over the province! Some of my personal work is also featured here.@
# Sovereign Majin
And straight ahead, we'll reach my secret, not-so-secret, tower of magical tomes and scrolls.@
# Sovereign Majin
Over the years, I've acquired much... hm, shall we say, "forbidden" literature of that variety. The Cursed simply will not stop trying, no matter how foolish the act!@
# Sovereign Majin
I'd say I have mastered... ah, about half of the spells and rituals featured here? It depends on your definitions- goodness knows the psionics have it rough.@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh, good grief, don't play dumb. I know full well that you understand the term. You all out there in Wynn make great use of it, or so I've been told.@
# Sovereign Majin
It truly is a wonder you manage to get anything done out there! Where is the control, the coordination?! No, I much prefer how we handle things here in Fruma, thank you.@
# Sovereign Majin
Yes, the Psionics... old history, that is. Sometime during the RA years, I believe? They had been mistaken for the cursed, and were exterminated by the crown for it.@
# Sovereign Majin
A mistake, if you ask me! Psionic abilities certainly should not be considered the same as magic, they're quite different in how they manifest... but alas, it is what it is.@
# Sovereign Majin
Cursed?! Ha! Oh, no no no, I was not "cursed". I believe you and I both understand the meaninglessness of that terminology, hm?@
# Sovereign Majin
Curses, blessings... a means of controlling the public. A rather useful one, at that - though I never did follow the rules.@
# Sovereign Majin
In the end, magic is but another way to obtain power over the weak... is it not natural to seek it out oneself, in order to achieve greatness?@
# Sovereign Majin
I don't suppose you would understand. You don't seem the type to have ever reached such heights. Regardless, let us press onward!@
# Sovereign Majin
Hm... I shall leave you to peruse my collections for the time being. The tour shall continue at the top of these stairs! Don't take too long, would you?@

Casting simple spells drawing power from the cosmos feels like holding fragile explosives in my hand. One wrong move and I'm afraid it will swallow me, or the world, whole.@

This power is addicting. The risk of casting such magic urges me to use it more, and more, and more.@

The Queen has strictly advised against frequent magic use... Luckily my sword skills tend to suffice in duels.@

I long for a worthy opponent, someone I can fully explore the depths of the endless cosmos with. Maybe then my hunger will be satiated.@

Ever since my ascension and the blessing of the stars that followed, I have little use of my previous elemental magics.@
# NOTE
Teaching myself the elements were fun. Magic is simply easy. Everyone should've been able to realise the nature of our world and the elements that make it up.@
# NOTE
After my first discovery of thunder magic the rest came easier and easier. All elements are, the same, but also completely different.@
# Sovereign Majin
Ah... this before you is my planetarium. Quite the marvel, don't you think? On my journey in developing my magical prowess, I developed quite the interest in the cosmos.@
# Sovereign Majin
It was this very room in which I discovered the comet which would be named after me! Majin's Comet... this year will be the third time I see its purple shine fly through the night sky.@
# Sovereign Majin
In truth, it fascinates me... the power and mystery lying dormant behind each and every star, just waiting to be tapped into!@
# Sovereign Majin
Well, I suppose it wasn't much of a surprise when that was the shape Her Majesty's blessing took on, once I received it on ascension.@
# Sovereign Majin
As I said before, it's quite uncommon for me to personally give a tour of the castle. I take the opportunity to speak on my many accomplishments whenever I can!@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh, and you mean to tell me that if you had a voice like mine, you wouldn't do the very same? Ha! Perhaps someday, you'll understand.@
# Sovereign Majin
Ah, the Sovereigns' blessings... they truly are an assorted bunch. Each taking on a distinct shape based on the person receiving it.@
# Sovereign Majin
I wonder, what could yours have looked like? Anything would be more interesting than that of your friend's... oh yes, "Intention." How passive, how boring.@
# Sovereign Majin
But I suppose it's just as well, given his... shall we say, transience. Quite the mission he's signed himself up for! What a relief that I have no need to concern myself with it.@
# Sovereign Majin
...oh, yes, this here is my hobby tower! I had it constructed - what was it, 30 years ago? - in order to store all my various projects. I'm a man of many interests, you see.@
# Sovereign Majin
As of late, I've been experimenting with gardening, of all things. Incredibly boring, mind you - a word of advice? Don't bother. It is not worth your time.@
# Sovereign Majin
Ah... a better view than this is hard to come by. The Highlands, in all their glory! Who needs the Auburn Forest when you have this!@
# Sovereign Majin
But we've arrived. Greetings, Spymaster.@
# ???
Sovereign Majin. And <playername>. I've been expecting you.@
# ???
It's been a while since we've met face to face, hasn't it? And you've been busy.@
# ???
So in the end you made the choice to search for your answers... bold, I'll admit. You've caused quite the disruption thus far.@
# ???
I am the Second, the Spymaster. You may call me Two.@
# Sovereign Two
You've quite the set of accomplishments, it turns out. Careless work by our inquisitors, perhaps, that we did not know beforehand... with some exceptions, granted.@
# Sovereign Two
To think, the Shade was struck blind by your hand! At no small cost, of course... but a shattered soul means little in the wider stage.@
# Sovereign Two
Had we known, would you have been given greater consideration? Perhaps. Or perhaps not. Each flaw remains as damning as before.@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh, get to the point, would you? I have more important things to attend to then this frivolous attempt at information gathering.@
# Sovereign Two
Very well. I shall digress.@
# Sovereign Two
Of all your accomplishments, of all your history, of each point along your storied trail, there is but one we cannot see. A place we cannot go.@
# Sovereign Two
You and the Light's Scion entered the Realm of Light. At a time pinpointed to have transpired during your stay within, the spread of Gavel's Decay abruptly ceased.@
# Sovereign Two
You would later return to your numerous adventures, not a sign of ever having traversed the realms at all. She has not been seen since.@
# Sovereign Two
I do not expect you to share this information freely. That is why we are here. To make an... exchange, of sorts.@
# Sovereign Majin
I should rather like to know the same thing myself! The way I see it, it hardly impacts the wider scope of your schemes.@
# Sovereign Two
I do like to be meticulous. Each additional defined variable helps with the accuracy of my predictions.@
# Sovereign Two
Regardless - the request comes directly from Her Majesty. It appears she is just as interested in the answer as I am.@
# Sovereign Majin
My goodness, what a question! How does the Spymaster know these things? What a conundrum - perhaps the title should clue you in?@
# Sovereign Two
There is little I do not keep track of in this world. Mostly, my inquisitors work to collect information beyond our gates...@
# Sovereign Two
Though, in special circumstances, I have been known to do so myself. Such as the one we find ourselves in now.@
# Sovereign Two
Entry to their Claims is not such an easy task if uninvited. You've seen the portal that lies at the end of the Expanse, haven't you? Still active, yet... sealed shut.@
# Sovereign Two
It seems the Shade did not take well to losing its Sight. An act of caution, blocking your access to its domain. The Light is much the same.@
# Sovereign Majin
Awestruck, are we? I do suppose such is the natural consequence of being in the vicinity of the crown's two strongest Sovereigns!@
# Sovereign Majin
But I'm afraid we do need you to speak up, so do get over yourself, would you?@
# Sovereign Two
And so, we return to the exchange. If you tell us what we wish to know, I will offer some valuable information in return. I trust it will be of interest to you.@
# Sovereign Two
Well, do we have a deal?@
# Sovereign Two
You always have a choice. But sometimes, there is a right and a wrong choice to make. The decision is yours.@
# Sovereign Two
So tell me. What happened in the Realm of Light? What could we not see?@
# NOTE
Tell her.@
# Sovereign Two
How very interesting. To think, the Shade has enough trust in War's lost Scion to send him to defend its trump card...@
# Sovereign Majin
I had wondered when he might finally show his ugly face again. Heavens know we'd had enough of him already.@
# Sovereign Two
And the Dawn is freed from the Dusk's assault... but its Scion is lost to the Dark's Claim... a step forward, and a step back alike.@
# Sovereign Majin
A step back, perhaps, but it could also be a boon in disguise. She could serve as a potential ally for your... whatever, if you could only locate her.@
# Sovereign Two
Certainly, she could. This will shift the trajectory of certain shards of possibility... I'll have to dive deeper into the consequences.@
# Sovereign Two
Regardless, this has been enlightening. Her Majesty will certainly be interested in these developments.@
# Sovereign Two
You refer to the War of the Realms, I presume?@
# Sovereign Two
I suppose it must. Beyond the wider scope, why do we care? Wynn's corruption is at a safe distance, and both Light and Dark are far, far away.@
# Sovereign Two
I can answer your question. But first, a tale.@
# Sovereign Two
Once, there were two twins orbiting one another, each laying claim to their own piece of the void they were given.@
# Sovereign Two
The first was bright, radiant, overwhelming. The other was dark, shadowed, suffocating. Gazing through the abyss, they saw one another - each a mirror image of the other.@
# Sovereign Two
The twins grew to hate each other. They built forms all their own, denying the truth of their reflections. They tried, and tried, and tried to break their bonds...@
# Sovereign Two
...but in the end, they could do naught but orbit - holding influence in their own right, but possessing nothing to exert it on.@
# Sovereign Two
Until... they found it. A miraculous world, of magic and life, and all of a sudden, nothing became something.@
# Sovereign Two
They took. They battled.@
# Sovereign Two
And in so doing, they came to shatter the mirror which once held their reflections. A building pressure of light and dark and hate, until finally enough was enough...@
# Sovereign Two
And from those uncountable shattered pieces of their battleground, War came to be.@
# Sovereign Two
War, Chaos, Hate... call it what you will. It was lesser, holding less control over itself than the twins from which it was birthed.@
# Sovereign Two
All it knew was the hatred of the twins, directed towards one another, never acknowledging the battlefield they had made. All it knew was the pain of being.@
# Sovereign Two
Until, one day... it all stopped. The twins had lost their connection to their world of influence, and could no longer sustain their endless War.@
# Sovereign Two
It was in that silence that War could finally sense beyond itself, could feel the world the twins had taken for granted, the beauty they had discarded in their race for victory.@
# Sovereign Two
And so, when the connections emerged once more, it took its chance.@
# Sovereign Two
It broke through the endless void, forcing its own connection unto the world, following in the twins' example.@
# Sovereign Two
Finally, it saw the world beyond... sprawling plains, forests, seas. Saw towns, cities, farmlands- war, destruction, tainted by the human desperation to live.@
# Sovereign Two
And it began to dream of that desperation itself.@
# Sovereign Two
...are you beginning to understand?@
# Sovereign Two
Her Majesty is War - was War. But it is no longer hers - instead, she has chosen to lay claim to this world's protection.@
# Sovereign Two
And in the meanwhile, the twins continue to take and take and take. If left unchecked, they will take until there is nothing left to fight over.@
# Sovereign Two
... Will that do for your answer?@
# Sovereign Majin
You've a streak for the dramatic, don't you... Was that truly all necessary? We could have always laid it out simply- on that note, why even answer at all?@
# Sovereign Two
I believe the context to be important.@
# Sovereign Majin
Of course you would... well then, are we finished here?@
# Sovereign Two
I suppose we are. We may consider this interrogation adjourned.@
# Sovereign Majin
Ah ah ah! Not so fast. Certainly, neither of us will deign to stop your escape... but the troops lying in wait will have no such reservations.@
# Sovereign Majin
Now, see yourself out, would you? You are dismissed.@
# Sovereign Majin
...oh, would you take your leave already? You're ruining the view.@
# Sovereign Two
I believe we'll meet once again very soon.@
# Rex
<playername>!@
# Zeph
Y- you're s...safe. Th...thank goodness...@

We're alive, so... better than nothing, huh?@

Still kicking. Despite it all.@
# Rex
...yeah. Gods, I... I can't believe they're gone.@
# Zeph
S...Syndra, a- and Mora... and we, we c...couldn't do an- any- anything!@
# Rex
Ugh, how stupid could we have been...? Of course they knew what we were planning. A group that big...@
# Sui
What was Syndra thinking? We should've called it off the minute we knew there would be another Sovereign...@
# Rex
What was so important to her that she'd risk all of our lives like that...?@
# Sui
I don't... care. It- it doesn't matter now. She's... dead. We don't need to talk about this.@
# Zeph
...S...Sui, h...how are you ho- holding up? It c- couldn't have b...been easy, on y- your own-@
# Sui
I'm fine, Zeph. We've got you two back now, so... so everything's alright. It is.@
# Rex
Are you sure? I don't think I've ever seen you this wound up before.@
# Sui
Stop. Stop that. I'm fine, I am, everyone's safe who- who can be, so... so that's it. We can, um, start planning ahead!!!@
# Sui
...please stop looking at me like that.@
# Rex
...fine. When Zeph and I were caught at the festival, we were split up from the others.@
# Zeph
I- I o...overheard them t- talking about... a- about D...Deraj Prison.@
# Sui
We, um, heard the same. Yusanu... he- might be working on it. I don't know for sure. We... parted ways in the Mistwoods.@
# Rex
But he's safe?@
# Sui
With the Canopy. They're... safe is maybe the wrong word. But, um, he's protected. So... I think he can do it.@
# Zeph
...s- so you th...think they'll be al- alright...?@
# Rex
We don't really have a choice but to trust that they will, since... we're up here, and they're not.@
# Rex
So. So, so, so. I've had a lot of time to think while imprisoned. About the past, the present, the future, all of it.@
# Rex
I've come up with lots and lots of possible plans to take down the crown! To, uh, limited success...@
# Rex
Lots of pitfalls. There's so many ways things can go wrong. So, so many...@
# Rex
...I think I'll need to sort through them again, with... with our new information. And... and our losses.@
# Sui
I- I'm going to, um, go out for... for a little. I, ha, I need some air, I think.@
# Zeph
She's d...different, isn't sh- she?@
# Rex
She's definitely not taking Mora's loss well, that's for sure... <playername>, how long has she been like this?@
# Zeph
SHE k...killed a S- Sovereign?! She d...didn't tell us that...@
# Rex
...does it have to do with the ice? She's been... kind of cagey about it.@
# Zeph
H...her magic used t- to be so... s...so beautiful, so s- serene...@
# Zeph
A- and- and n...now it looks... d- dangerous. Lethal.@
# Zeph
The p...poet in me can't h- help but see it as a r...reflection of her n- new- newfound coldness...@
# Rex
Sorry, say that again? The poet in you? What poet?!@
# Zeph
I've ch...changed, Rex... th- there's a, pfft, a- a d...darkness inside me now...@
# Rex
Oh, het over yourself! I was there too, idiot!@
# Rex
...oh, <playername>, before I forget. When we got here, there was an envelope left for you on your bed.@

Sigh... I can't wait to sleep in a nice bed again.@
# Rex
...what's on your mind?@
# Rex
What's with the stupid questions? No, dumbass, of course not.@
# Rex
Being kept in a cage, it... it reminded me too much of living back home.@
# Rex
And... now we're here! So. You know.@
# NOTE
The dialogue options return here.@
# Rex
Oh, boy. If I'm being honest... time sort of blended together.@
# Rex
They took my bow from me almost immediately. I... I couldn't focus on anything. It was like I was barely even there. I just... dreamt.@
# Rex
I dreamed of Auburn, of my brother, of my new family, of the people I've lost, of... of my bow.@
# Rex
I got used to it, eventually. Like losing a limb! It didn't stop feeling like a loss, but... I figured out how to live without my bow by my side.@
# Rex
I think... I think I was the lucky one. I was never really present, so everything they did to us, it... it feels like a hazy memory of a dream.@
# Rex
Zeph... he, uh, couldn't distance himself. But I won't speak for him. Ask him yourself, if you really want to.@
# Rex
Ugh. You met those idiots? They're just a glorified book club, honestly.@
# Rex
Sure, they're not all bad, but for the most part... they're performative.@
# Rex
I only heard about them through my brother, and he was always complaining. But I guess they were the only people he could find who agreed with him, so...@
# Rex
Whatever. I'm glad you managed to get something out of them, at least.@
# Rex
They're all over the place! In some of them, we all storm the gates of the citadel and break through their defenses...@
# Rex
...in others, I get to put an arrow through the eyes of each and every Sovereign myself.@
# Rex
They're... mostly unusable. I just needed to do something with my head. I think there's probably something I can salvage, but for the most part...@
# Rex
Eh. We've got time. Still another week until the festival, after all...@
# Rex
Good luck. Come back to us alive, alright? We only just all reunited, it'd suck having to go save you instantly.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Is it true?@
# Sovereign Tasim
...you should know. She told me. That mission. That damned mission, the one I-@
# Sovereign Tasim
So I'll ask you again. Is. It. True?@
# Sovereign Tasim
And you didn't SAY ANYTHING?! Not a word.@
# Sovereign Tasim
All this time, I've been wondering how he's doing, where he is- while you... you... you knew. And you chose to stay silent.@
# Sovereign Tasim
The right time. Of course. Of course! You just needed to find the right time to tell me you KILLED HIM!!!@
# Sovereign Tasim
So, now what?! Your "right time" has come and gone, and now we're here.@
# Sovereign Tasim
I don't care what it was, <playername>!! I don't care what you saw happen, or why you think it had to happen, I care that he's gone!!!@
# Sovereign Tasim
I don't have much, you know? A couple of acquaintances in Gavel, maybe. No one to really keep up with!@
# Sovereign Tasim
But I had him. And you TOOK HIM from me!!!!@
# Sovereign Tasim
He was all I had left, and you took him from me...@
# Sovereign Tasim
Why you? Why did it have to be you? If only the roles had been reversed- If only he were here instead of YOU!!!@
# Sovereign Tasim
He would have understood. He would have. He always did. He wouldn't have been so... so... STUBBORNLY, OVERWHELMINGLY, WRONG!!!@
# Sovereign Tasim
...of course. Of course I am. What are you trying to suggest?@
# Sovereign Tasim
Don't you dare say that to my face. I didn't know him?! When you're the one who- who-@
# Sovereign Tasim
You're right!! You're right, he isn't - and WHOSE fault is that?!@
# Sovereign Tasim
It's not the crown's, no matter what you want to pin on them. It certainly isn't mine. So who does that leave?! WHO?!@
# Sovereign Tasim
...yeah. That's right. No words.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Of course you have nothing to say. You always were a coward.@
# Sovereign Tasim
We're done here. Whatever... whatever we had- friendship, acquaintances- it doesn't matter. It's through. Get out of my sight.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...before I change my mind and throw you off this dam myself.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Goodbye, <playername>. I hope you find your new friendships just as fulfilling as you found ours.@
# Sovereign Tasim
What... what is Fruma to you, if you don't mind me asking? If you're... you know. Why are you here, instead of there?@
# Her Majesty
There is little more I would like than to forget that... place, that cage entirely.@
# Her Majesty
...from the moment of conception. It was given nothing. It was Their hatred, Their disdain, Their battlefield, suddenly given the mind to think and form to feel.@
# Her Majesty
...and oh, how It grew to hate that cage, to hate those who had put It there to rot.@
