• Artifact: Orrian Artifact
• Sten will only say that his research is incomplete. All I know is it has something to do with the ghosts here.
• I appreciate your time. Good-bye.
• Historical accuracy. The reports we have from the few survivors of that ambush are dubious at best. But we hope to find evidence of the truth in these ruins.
• Do you doubt the official story?
• How's your research coming?
• I have reason to believe the "official" story told to visitors to the Stormcaller monument is...somewhat embellished. I hope to produce a more reliable account.
• Does anyone else share your suspicions?
• It's been frustrating. The devourers get distracted by every little pebble and grub they unearth, so the actual excavation is slow and tedious.
• Are you a fellow scholar, friend?
• Well, I am fascinated by the mysteries of lore.
• I'm %str1%. A visitor to the Ruins.
• I'm not. Farewell.
• Then would you mind if this old scholar bends your ear for a moment?
• Not at all. What are you working on?
• I must be going. Some other time, perhaps.
• A shame. I'm afraid I can only discuss my work here with a fellow scholar. I hope you understand.
• Of course. Good luck to you.
• There's a reference in the ancient archives to a book called the "Tome of the Fallen." It's said to have had great magical powers. I believe that book may have been buried near here.
• Have you had any luck?
• I wish you luck in your search. Good-bye.
• We are. The scrolls that mention it claim it's an object of great power. Even if that power is magical in nature, it's better for us to hold it rather than lose it to our enemies.
• Against the Corruption
• Very little. There was an interesting development that we didn't expect, but it hasn't led to anything.
• Aetherblades Killed: %num1%/%num2%
• No. But there is an apparition that appears here in the ruins at night. Occasionally, it will speak about the tome.
• Has this apparition provided any clues about its location?
• Join the expedition to Orr's Royal Tombs.
• Take the seneschal's keystaff to Trahearne.
• I think our boss doesn't know what he's doing.
• Unacceptable! Tell you what: you hold him, and I'll punch him in the face.
• And we'll both be fighting in the arena before nightfall. No way.
• What's your warband scheduled to practice today?
• Edged weapons.
• You'll like the instructor for that one.
• He's got some great war stories. Makes you especially proud to be charr.
• Why are you standing around? There's work to do!
• I'm on my break.
• I'll break somethin' else if you don't get busy.
• You need to slow down. Measure twice, cut once.
• I'd rather measure once and cut twice.
• How about I measure and you cut?
• That's more like it.
• What happens if we smelt these metals together in different proportions?
• Is there anything stopping us from finding out?
• Nothing. Our orders are to produce a stronger alloy for axles. We'll do whatever it takes.
• You should've seen it. He was spitting up teeth and blood.
• He'll think twice before he says that again.
• This job is pointless.
• So is starving to death. If you don't work, you don't eat. Get back to work.
