• Killing my research subjects, are we? This is my life's work, you know. I thought we had an understanding.
• Your test subjects are attacking the locals. We need to stop it before the festival begins.
• The local fauna is entirely quiescent unless provoked. Who was attacked? Are they reliable witnesses?
• I could say the same, Mother Tree. Your boughs grow ever higher.
• I must go, Blessed Source. I'll return when I can.
• %str2%, I welcome you to my grove. You'll find warm hospitality always in the shade of my branches, so long as you foster peace and partnership.
• You have heard of Scarlet's death?
• Rally to me!
• Thanks!
• What's going on?
• The Halloween energy is strong this year. It's good to return to this world to see what new havoc my little brother has wrought. They said he was treacherous, but I never believed them.
• Don't touch anything.
• Your branches? What are you talking about?
• Thank you. I'll try to behave myself.
• He set me up, tricked me into the web of a giant spider, and once I was gone from the world, he became heir to the throne. All I wanted to do was protect him, but he took everything I held dear.
• Celebrate elsewhere.
• If you see Os, can you tell him that I'm...well? It's been so long since I've seen his face. I only wanted the best for him.
• It is by the love of my children that I flourish. This manifestation I use for visitors cannot express the depth of my roots or the breadth of my branches, both here and in the Dream.
• I come with withering news, I'm afraid.
• Mother? How far do your branches reach into the Dream?
• The intertwining is more complex than that. When you were of the Dream, before awakening, I was the vein through which you flowed into this ring of existence. We are all one, all connected, all of the same source.
• I'm sure. Be at rest, spirit.
• I'll take your word for it.
• What's going on?
• There's a war raging in the Mists. All the best fighters go there. We must act quickly and firmly to deflect the enemy.
• I don't have time for this.
• All are welcome during Wintersday.
• Even the Soundless?
• Originally, yes, but they have chosen to pursue a course of meditation that cuts them off from the Dream, the world, each other, and me. Some cannot bear the burden of shared pain.
• What about Nightmare courtiers?
• Once beloved to me, as you are, these poor misguided children have—through free will—taken a dark path. Their disdain for Ventari's words leads them astray and does harm to the Dream.
• Do you remember Ventari?
• I remember him: wise, half man, half horse. He blessed us when he left his tablet near the site of my planting. He and a human named Ronan dreamt of creating a haven here.
• Why do you cradle his tablet in your branches?
• I took Ventari's Tablet to my core as I grew, and I was nourished. My leaves whisper with his wisdom. Take heed and learn well the meaning of Ventari's counsel, for the tablet is all the guidance you need.
• May the sunshine fall lightly upon you, Blessed Source.
• He was the wise centaur who settled this grove and put down the first roots here. His friend Ronan planted my seed here. His tablet of aphorisms provides the foundation for our code of behavior.
• I see. I better go.
• I am not as I appear to you. This small body is but a manifestation I use to put visitors at ease. My entire being stretches deep into this world and out into the Dream. I am more than you can imagine.
• It is complex. My children, the sylvari, exist in a realm called the Dream prior to awakening here, in this world. We are all one, all connected, all of the same source.
• All of one mind?
• Not necessarily. Free will plays a role. Not all choose to embrace Ventari's teachings. The Soundless use meditation to cut themselves off, and the Nightmare Court twists their beliefs beyond repair.
• Ventari?
• What's wrong?
• Depleted Power Crystal
• Warm wishes and glad tidings to you.
• WvW Cannon Controller
• May you encounter success.
• This season inspires me.
• Cleaver
