• I'm new here myself, but already I know about the dangers here. Inquest, bandits, and wildlife to be more specific.
• What sort of threats are there in the area?
• Another time.
• Our mission is simple—to gather as much knowledge about the world, both past and present, and to use it to build a storehouse of wisdom that will benefit Tyria for countless generations.
• What is the Durmand Priory focused on right now?
• Lionguard Demolitionist Tawel
• Our order was founded in 1105 AE by the Krytan scholar Durmand, who sought to compile the first true history of Tyria. He built a monastery in the Shiverpeaks where his work could be safeguarded.
• Where can I find the monastery?
• I have more questions about the Durmand Priory.
• I'm done for now. Thanks.
• The Durmand Priory is always looking for new adventurers to help us gather our knowledge. When the time comes, and when you are ready, you will be invited to join our ranks.
• Thanks, I still have questions about the Priory.
• Please, excuse me.
• I'm new here myself, but already I know about the dangers here. Inquest, bandits, and wildlife to be more specific.
• Sorry, I haven't seen him.
• What's happening with the bandits?
• What sorts of wildlife should I be concerned about?
• Wait, I want to know more about the Durmand Priory.
• That's enough for now.
• The Durmand Priory is nestled in the Shiverpeaks, near the city of Lion's Arch. It is only accessible from a treacherous mountain path, making it perfect for safeguarding the knowledge we find.
• Is there anything else you can tell me about the Priory?
• Stay clear of those creatures. We don't want our explosives going off prematurely.
• We are an organization that is dedicated to the collection and preservation of all knowledge, and to the promotion of the public understanding of history, ancient wisdom and science.
• What sort of knowledge do you seek to preserve in the Durmand Priory?
• I have other questions about the Durmand Priory.
• Science is what we have begun to call the process of gathering knowledge about the natural and supernatural aspects of our world, and using this knowledge make testable predictions that allow us to better understand the laws that govern it.
• It sounds fascinating! Where can I sign up for this exciting new field of study?
• (YAWN) Let's change the subject.
• Back to my original question.
• Forget it. I'm done.
• All knowledge, from census data to the most obscure arcana from lost civilizations. We are seek all knowledge in order to enrich and protect Tyria.
• Okay, I'm sold. How do I join the Durmand Priory?
• I have something else on my mind.
• We're here reaching out to the sylvari and asura, both to help them with their local problems, but also hopefully to enlist them for the coming conflict against the Elder Dragons.
• Tell me more about the dragons.
• What else can you tell me about the Priory?
• I have to be going. Take care.
• The Elder Dragons have awakened, and this may be the beginning of the end for Tyria. They threaten all life everywhere, and everyone must step up and fight against extinction.
• So, what does the Durmand Priory have to do with this?
• We are devoted to finding the knowledge that will destroy the Elder Dragons. If we can get in the hands of the other races in time, Tyria might just survive.
• I still have questions about the Priory itself.
• Good luck with that. See you later.
• They're the largest threat, in my opinion. They're certainly the most organized. But what they're up to is a mystery. Whatever it is, it'll likely fit in with their own dark purpose.
• I have other things I need to be enlightened on.
• Good to know. Thanks.
• Very dangerous, and even worse the farther north you go. We've been hearing rumors that they're working with the Inquest. I can't imagine what they'd both be up to, but it can't be good.
• Any other information you can give me?
• Change of topic.
• Immediately outside this camp you can find raptors, jungle spiders, nightmare wolves, drakes, and hylek. Further out, you will run across wind riders, skale, skelk, and cliff bats.
• It's weakening! I can feel it!
