• Priory Energy Monitor
• Not a great deal. The dragons are so ancient, they predate humans in Tyria, and that's saying something. The last time they rose...let's just say it's been so long, few records have survived.
• Have you checked ancient creation myths?
• Collect berries
• A modicum. We're confident that we're close to a breakthrough. The trouble is that the dragons are so ancient. The last time they rose...let's just say it's been so long, few records have survived.
• The last time? This has happened before?
• Good call.
• As a matter of fact, I'm pursuing that line of inquiry now. In jotun stela writings, we've found references to a sextet of "swallowers" who are said to have consumed the world several times over.
• What do you think it means?
• Lattice Configurator
• My personal interpretation is that we are living through another incarnation of this phenomenon, and the more I study, the less convinced I am that we will come out of this with our civilization intact.
• Yes. Give me the bandit disguise and let me into Seanan's camp.
• By studying ancient jotun stelae, we've come to the conclusion that this cataclysm is a cyclical event and that it has definitely happened before. We need to do more research, though.
• The breeze rider is mesmerized. Would you like to activate the machine?
• Not at the moment.
• (sigh) Same as everyone else: the dragons, of course. It's obviously of critical importance that we find their weaknesses or some clue to what's happening.
• What's your theory?
• Activate the machine.
• Same as everyone else: the dragons, of course. It's of critical importance that we find their weaknesses or some clue to what's happening.
• Are you confident?
• Leave
• I'm hopeful. The more I study, the more I believe that we can find a way to survive this cataclysm. I'd better get back to it.
• Trembling Brush
• I'm quickly concluding that there's a natural order at work here. We can safely say that the dragons awoke before because they were asleep. Ergo, it's a cycle that is repeating itself.
• A cycle?
• Breeze Dream 300
• Yes, quite. You see it throughout nature. The forest fire destroys so that new life may sprout. I believe we have come to the end of an era. However, let's not forget the new life part.
• New life? Or old life surviving?
• 7
• It's purely conjecture, but I would predict a bit of both. Don't worry, %str1%. You're a survivor. I'd bet my last gold piece on it.
• Let's hope we both are.
• Are you kidding? Good-bye.
• %str1%! Of course you are. I was hoping for a chance to get your thoughts on my latest thesis. I've been studying the Giganticus Lupicus, searching for references among desert cultures.
• What have you discovered?
• Nectar Plant
• I'm sure you have important matters to attend to, as do I. You'll excuse me if my mind is a continent and a thousand years away. I'm in the midst of developing a new theory.
• I'll leave you to it then.
• Well! It's all very exciting, really, and somewhat distressing as well. I believe I have evidence to support the conclusion that the G-lupe was wiped out by none other than the Elder Dragons.
• No!
• Tell me more about your plan.
• Yes! Well, maybe. I have more research to do. The G-lupe has been a personal fascination of mine since I returned from the Crystal Desert with bone samples. I intend to find the truth.
• AUTO
• I can see you're busy. I won't disturb you.
• Ancient races of Tyria, of course. Surely you've heard of them, even in your uneducated state. If you'll excuse me, I have to document this thought before it dissolves.
• AFTER TREE LC BEFORE CHOICE IS OWNER
• It's accepted that there were five sentient races who fought the Elder Dragons the first time and survived. I'm studying them and looking for hints among their relics to how they did it.
• Only five races?
• PLAYER IS IO
• That we know of. This was a very long time ago. I'm afraid none of them are coming forward with helpful information. We have the dwarven Tome of the Rubicon, but it has been changed over the years.
• Changed how?
