Dialogue

Amnytas

In a storage at Concocter's Lab

P-please don't tell anyone I'm here! If Galrath f-finds me, I'm dead!

Isn't he at the Bastion of Strength?

If you upset that man, there's no distance he won't go to get you for it. I'd run even further if I wasn't worried about abandoning my post. The Kryptis are nothing compared to him.

Your secret is safe with me.

Your secret is safe with me.

Janthir Syntri

Asura at Bloodstone Research Camp

Little titan fiasco or no, getting the chance to study a Janthiri island is not an experience to be missed!

I'd think that the Astral Ward was more familiar with Janthir.

Enough. Given the complex history here, Janthir was Mabon's domain.

What all did he teach you about it?

He told us about the city—how he came after the first titan emergency. They killed all the mursaat inside.

If the mursaat and titans are dead, why keep the rest of the Astral Ward away?

I...I don't know. I never pried much. I'm sure it was very complicated for him; his people were not kind. When the titans killed everyone in the city... Probably not something he wanted to think about.

Complicated, indeed.

Human at Bloodstone Research Camp

H-have you seen the bloodstone trees? I haven't seen anything like it.

Everything about this place feels wrong, that's for sure.

Sure does. Knowing what we know about bloodstone... (gulps) I don't want to know how much blood was spilled here.

We'll get you out of here soon.

Lowland Shore

At Moon Camp Covert

They have a haggard look in their eyes.

Stay strong.
