- So, you're going with the Priory, eh? That's okay. Geniuses-in-training tend to gravitate toward academic options. When you're ready for real results, we'll still be here.
- Very interesting. May I ask another question, Ihan?
- I say count me in.
- So glad to have you with us for this outing. I hope this will be the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration. I'll meet you at Gorr's lab.
- I need to think more. Thanks, Ihan.
- Hmm. I thought Snaff Savants were supposed to be reasonable and perceptive. Ah, well. One outing with the Order of Whispers should show you the limitations of their approach. Good luck.
- I need some more time before I decide.
- Thanks, Josir. I'll think about it.
- There's a Beigarth in Hoelbrak.
- That would be wonderful. Be safe, and I'll see you in the Grove.
- To Upper City
- Please teach me to be a chef.
- Please teach me to be a hunstman.
- High praise, indeed.
- Consider me your personal font of esoteric knowledge. Ask away.
- What is the Priory?
- How does the Priory operate? What are your methods?
- Who founded the Priory?
- That's all I needed to know.
- We're an academy of researchers and explorers that finds, archives, and employs ancient wisdom. Our current focus is the defeat of the Elder Dragons, and we're pursuing multiple means to that end.
- Right. Good-bye.
- Thank you. Good-bye.
- We employ academics, explorers, and combatants at facilities all across Tyria. We go where antiquities are, collect them, study them, and put them to use.
- What is there to do?
- I'm fine. Good-bye.
- Durmand, of course. He was a scholar in Lion's Arch when Orr rose. His cliff-top monastery became a repository for knowledge that would have otherwise been lost in the chaos following the flood.
- So other scholars came to him?
- You can see all sorts of exhibitions, games, and wonders in the commons. Many visitors also enjoy checking out our high roads, as each one bears a statue of one of our six gods.
- I want to know about a place.
- Scholars and mages of all races came to do research and share what they knew. Durmand quickly saw this as a way to combat the dragons. Knowledge is often literally power, after all.
- I want to know about someone else.
- I'll check in with you later.
- I'll try to answer as directly as possible, but no promises. I've been training to be evasive for so long it's become second nature.
- What is the Order of Whispers?
- How does the Order of Whispers operate?
- How was the Order founded?
- I'll leave you to it.
- We're problem-solvers. We work behind the scenes and in the shadows. We're not soldiers—we're spies, saboteurs, and assassins. Our current top problem is the Elder Dragons.
- I'm fine. Good-bye.
- Stop reading.
- As the name indicates: quietly. We eschew direct confrontation in favor of subtlety and guile. If we can avoid a war by blackmailing a general or poisoning a potentate, that's what we do.
- Flip ahead.
- Never mind.
- That's hard to say...to you. Until you officially join, let's just go with, "We came from somewhere else for the purpose of protecting innocents from dark magic and would-be conquerors."
- I'll donate.
- I guess that'll have to do for now.
- None right now, thanks.
- Fire when ready.
- What is the Vigil?
- How does the Vigil operate?
