- Very well. Here, this simple gesture unlocks the knowledge carried within the crystals. May the Aspects guide you.
- Generations ago, before the continent of Orr rose from the sea, a wise elder called the dwarven masters together, and named them the keepers of her heritage.
- Go on.
- May I ask you something else?
- Interesting.
- Strike the Shadow of the Dragon now!
- Over time, humans took over the guardianship, and in our quest for peace we discovered the Sun, Wind, and Lightning Aspects. We built Zephyr Sanctum, and lifted our community into the clouds.
- Why did you do that?
- Thanks. Good-bye.
- So we could avoid the influence of outsiders while we're honing our skills. We welcome any who want to remain with us, but like birds, we're safer in the air. It's nothing personal.
- Good to hear.
- It's on.
- Can you tell me about the other masters?
- What is Belcher's Bluff?
- I'll be back.
- Belcher's Bluff is a game of determination and deceit. Drinking this vile substance is detrimental to your health. Drink as much as you can, but be careful: whoever loses their stamina first concedes the match.
- What are we drinking?
- Raw omnomberry juice, chilled to sour perfection. The omnomberry grows only in Orr and is disgusting until cooked. Heat removes the toxins, but chilling it—oh, it makes for an entertaining game.
- I can bluff?
- To win, you'll have to! You can fake a sip, but if your opponent catches you...well, that's another challenge entirely.
- They can punish me?
- Let loose a fearsome belch, and you punish an opponent who's not drinking as they should! Just be careful—once you belch, you'll have to drink three more times before you can belch again.
- Can I drink anything other than juice?
- Water is allowed, but only every four turns. If you can get away with it, it can put you ahead of the game. Additionally, it counts toward your drinks and your ability to belch!
- I get the gist.
- There. I've sent you a pamphlet that describes our order and locations.
- Thank you!
- She is too full to eat any more today.
- Does my omnomberry juice dispenser intrigue you? I'll give you a hint. It's for a game called Belcher's Bluff.
- I've defeated all five Masters of Om!
- I challenge you!
- Hah! You're a tadpole. Do you know the secrets of the Masters of Om? No? Seek them out, challenge them, defeat them. Only then will you be worthy of challenging me, the Grandmaster of Om.
- Very well. I will return, Poyaqui!
- Now what?
- Yes!
- Not quite yet.
- I see. Thanks.
- Leave.
- Hope you find something.
- I wish you luck, then.
- The Zephyr Sanctum! I've seen cursory mentions of it in scattered texts, and some scholars didn't even think it was real. I can't believe I'm actually standing on it!
- I know how you feel.
- Either Captain Kiel or Captain Gnashblade as a member of the Captain's Council? I can only imagine the impact that would have around here.
- Yes, it could.
- Evening Red Dye[s]
- Evening Wine Dye[s]
- Evergreen Dye[s]
- Amazing! Captain Kiel's the new councillor of Lion's Arch. The Zephyr Sanctum citizens sure seem happy about the treaty too.
- What's next for the new councillor?
- A giant beetle has appeared in Challenger Cliffs.
