- We can only grasp portions of it. Even the Elder Dragons are small relative to the All.
- Ah, so it does. Good. I see you enjoy the nightmares you inflict upon others. You'll fit in here just fine.
- I expect so.
- You have nerve approaching me.
- I seek only a deeper understanding of nightmare.
- I won't trouble you. Good-bye.
- We see only certain layers of the Mists, the Elders, and Tyria. Anything beyond that is hidden from us.
- You're young. I see that, so I'll indulge you three questions.
- Where does nightmare come from?
- We must content ourselves with first understanding what's before us.
- Nowhere. Everywhere. It has always been and always will be. It's as much a part of existence as the land, the water, air or fire. As much as the Dream.
- What do you know about Faolain, our leader?
- Right now, the Elder Dragons are the most critical to understand.
- You mean "Duchess" Faolain, I'm sure. Otherwise, I'd have to kill you for the intimacy. She is the knife-tip of our thrust into the world and into the Dream. She is the prick of the poisonous thorn.
- How may I best serve the Nightmare Court's cause?
- That ol' beast is going to give us quite a fight.
- How you do it is up to you, but with every drop of blood we draw, every tear we inspire, and every heart we break, we strengthen nightmare's hold on the Dream.
- Its natures are plant and mind, as you've undoubtedly inferred.
- When I signed up for the Lionguard, I never thought I'd get stationed here. I miss the fresh breezes of Lion's Arch. The air here is so stifling.
- You've got quite a view from up here.
- Yes, it is.
- In my opinion, it is the most destructive of the Elder Dragons, tearing the ground from beneath our feet.
- That's what I do, all day long. I watch. The jungle's a dangerous place. I've seen creatures here I'd never imagined. One false step out there, and you're dead.
- You don't like it here?
- I'll remember that.
- Creatures that live underground are especially vulnerable as its vines spread.
- It is my belief that it is rooted deep in the land, which may be an exploitable weakness.
- I do not know specifically how to overcome it, and I am still researching how its corruption spreads.
- With Zhaitan, any who died in proximity to its corruption became Risen.
- To date, I've seen no evidence that the same is true of those who die in proximity of Mordrem.
- You will undoubtedly learn more if you plan to enter the jungle.
- You're a long way from home. Finding the jungle inhospitable? Have you met any of our local hylek tribes yet? Some of them would gladly welcome you in...for dinner. They like plump, juicy insects like you.
- You already know much about them. But for Miss Delaqua's benefit...
- Just offering fair warning.
- The Elder Dragons may be as old as the world itself. They're more than creatures.
- Hmph. Watch these norn and humans. They're so out of their element here. They insist on wearing their armor in this heat, and if it weren't for me, they'd all have died of dehydration by now.
- This isn't their native environment.
- What a shame that would have been.
- That's the understatement of the millennium. I've yet to meet one who can suck venom out of a jungle fly bite. I mean, really! That's elementary.
- They're lucky to have you.
- At least they're here to help out.
- Elementary. Indeed.
- So true. Oh, I should warn you—we get fire imps in the area. I'm sure you're familiar with them, but just watch your back.
- I appreciate the warning.
- That's the only reason I don't leave them all to die horribly from jungle fever or insect larvae in their hearts.
- Aren't you a ray of sunshine? Good-bye.
- Dock Worker
- They're part of nature's workings. They rise and fall on a cycle that spans millennia.
- Hylek Blowgun
- Maguuma Spider
