• "A History of Dry Top" by Nicholas Sanford, 1070 A.E.
• Spin
• Now a barren landscape, this rounded basin may have held water many millennia ago. Sand now covers everything, blowing on the wind and eroding all—rocks and inhabitants alike.
• Pound
• Unknown sentient beings once built fragile hillside homes high on the cliffsides. Some structures still linger but will also fall victim to the blowing sand and hot sun.
• Lunge at your foe, striking them with your sword.
• The area attracts outlaws on the run with something to hide. Or those who are unwelcome among civilized folk for one reason or another. This makes the area dangerous to travelers such as me and Yakkington.
• Thundering Leap
• Migrating centaur packs come through here, it seems. There is evidence that they once had a refuge here. A large tree trunk, quite out of place, could have been one of their sacred trees.
• Toy Captain
• Despite appearances, this waterless area is far from lifeless, and it serves as the doorway into the Maguuma Jungle, a region of uncontrollable growth, life, and often death.
• Knocks Back • Pulls
• This notebook, titled "Research Notes," has a complex set of equations, drawings, and engineering blueprints.
• Burrows to Move
• Sand Wurm
• Sand Wurm
• If you say so.
• This is Consortium property. Defend it at all costs.
• Defend yourself, lowlife!
• That is but one of the many spectacular sights the Consortium has to show you.
• Hey, friend. Care to enrich your life?
• It's going to be a great Wintersday. Are you ready? The Captain's Council has gone all the way this year. We have the giant snow globe, and Toymaker Tixx is on his way.
• Happy Wintersday to you. I hope you're enjoying the event. The Captain's Council has gone to a lot of trouble to bring in the toymaker and to work with Zommoros on the giant snow globe.
• The toymaker is our grand marshal, our master of ceremonies, our most honored guest. We're the final stop on his grand tour of Tyria. You can go visit his airship, if you want. I recommend it.
• I sure did. It's filled with snow for playing, and it's musical. You can go inside and play holiday carols on the bells there. Go have fun, and Happy Wintersday!
• Happy happy Wintersday. Do you have tadpoles? Mine are so excited about this holiday. We're going to hear the bell choir later while waiting for Toymaker Tixx to arrive.
• Happy happy Wintersday. Though I do not understand why anyone would celebrate winter. Brrrrr. My tadpoles like it, I suppose. They're excited to meet the toymaker.
• To meet the toymaker?
• Yes. He came in a big balloon man and is inviting visitors to his lair. Anyone can go see inside. I've heard it's huge. He's floating over near the Mystic Forge.
• It's music made with bells. Pretty. There's one in the giant snow globe. Zommoros and the city set it up. He lets anyone give it a try. Very kind of him.
• Where is Toymaker Tixx now?
• Don't you "Happy Wintersday" me. You'll get no cheer here. Everyone's so excited about the toymaker visiting that they're getting stupid. It's embarrassing.
• Toymaker?
• Burn Wintersday. All it does is clog the streets with merry-makers. If one more person aims a smile at me, I may just have to smack it off. I'll be glad when the toymaker is gone.
• Still in the Black Citadel. But he'll be here eventually.
• Still in Hoelbrak. But he'll be here eventually.
• Still in Divinity's Reach. But he'll be here eventually.
• Still in the Grove. But he'll be here eventually.
• Still in Rata Sum. But he'll be here eventually.
• Yeah, some asura with a cutesy name. Puke. Why can't asura have real names? Though, I gotta admit that his airship is mighty impressive. I may go visit it—just to see how it works.
• Yeah. Name's Tixx or something. Makes toys. Those addled mucks on the Captain's Council thought it was a good idea to get him to lead the charge into Wintersday. Pfah.
• Happy almost Wintersday! We're getting everything ready for Tixx to show up. He's going to all the other cities first, but he's staying here the longest.
• What have you heard about Tixx?
• Happy Wintersday! Did you go see Tixx and Toxx yet? They've got a princess doll that's the best, and I told my mom I want one. I think she's going to get me one.
• Who are Tixx and Toxx?
• I think he's still in the Black Citadel.
• I think he's still in Hoelbrak.
• I think he's still in Divinity's Reach.
• I think he's still in the Grove.
• I think he's still in Rata Sum.
