- For the first time in my thirty-five protests, I'm conflicted. The Lionguard is keeping us in the dark, but they're trying to find out who did it. I don't know if I should support them or not.
- Eh, you'll figure it out.
- You sound like my love, Vellanna. Hmm, I should check on her. Ever since the incident, she's occupied my thoughts.
- End the Dragon Bash! I was wounded in Orr, fighting Zhaitan's army. This festival is a disgrace to everyone fighting the dragons.
- What's your story?
- Dear gods, this whole thing is a disaster. I despise Dragon Bash, but I hope they find out who attacked, and put them in the filthest open grave in Cursed Shore.
- I used to be a Lionguard scout, but when the Pact needed soldiers in Orr, I volunteered. I was wounded at Penitent Path and shipped back here for healing.
- All I know is that there was an attack, and councillors were wounded. I wanted this festival over, but I didn't want anyone hurt. I want the people behind the attack to be caught.
- When I heard about Dragon Bash, I couldn't believe it. A dragon festival? I had to come down here and tell the pirate bosses how stupid they're being.
- I was a soldier in Orr, fighting the Risen. I just want justice and fairness. I may want this festival over, but I want the people behind the attack to be caught.
- Good luck.

- Sport Sunglasses Skin[s]
- Keep the dolyak moving. We have to get the injured to the fort.
- Understood.
- Report any suspicious activity to the Lionguard.
- Such as?
- Anyone in blue-and-white or copper-shiny uniforms, who are carrying electrified weapons. Consider these people armed and dangerous. Understood?
- Hey, I remember you. You risked your skin to get the councillors to safety. Thanks. The Lionguard owes you one.
- How are the councillors doing?
- You're welcome.
- I'm not supposed to say, but you helped us. Ashford...he didn't make it. Those in charge are keeping it quiet until they find out who's behind what happened.
- Any leads?
- Disturbing. Thanks.
- I heard that Kiel and some spooky woman from Divinity's Reach are looking into it. Something to do with the cultural representatives who fled after the effigy went zap.
- Welcome. I am Cassin Hoppal, local historian. Are you interested in the new Cobiah Marriner statue, the new book about Marriner's life, or have you come to take part in the history hunt?
- What's the history hunt?
- I'm just passing through.
- Lion's Arch's newest landmark is a fine statue of the city founder Cobiah Marriner. He overlooks the city he brought back to life after Orr rose and flooded the old city.
- It's titled "Sea of Sorrows," and it's available in all of the finest book carts in Tyria. It's an inspirational tale of his origin as a child with nothing and how he rose to become the man who built Lion's Arch.
- Tell me about the statue.
- I could tell you Cobiah's history, but walking in his footsteps is more illuminating. I've placed twelve plaques around Tyria, each detailing an important moment in his life.
- How do I get started?
- I'll give you the first plaque right now. It's the Marriner statue. The remaining plaques are located around Tyria. I wish you good travels, and happy hunting.
- Tell me about the book.
- Yo ho! Welcome to Dragon Bash. Play Dragon Ball. Bet on the moa racing. Be merry! Just don't miss the Dragon Bash effigy ceremony.
- So what is Dragon Bash?
- What's Dragon Ball about?
- What was that about moa racing?
- What's an effigy ceremony?
- Yeah, sure.
- It's inspired by an ancient Canthan dragon festival. Instead of celebrating dragons, we bash them. It's a chance to vent frustration on dragons that don't bash back. The Ship's Council felt we needed a little catharsis.
- I see. Thanks.
- Go find out! The competition is rough, but Dragon Ball is a lot of fun.
- Excellent. Thanks.
- Somebody figured out how to make 'em all run in the same direction for once! Pick your favorite and lay your bet down.
- Sounds interesting.
- We're going to light effigies of dragons on fire and watch them burn! It's a pirate thing.
- Can you mark my map with the location?
- With pleasure. I'll be there speechifying, so be sure to cheer loudly for me.
