Dialogue[edit]
- During Meet with Hui and accept his request
- I've been endeavoring to gather the untold history of the Celestial Ministry. How it collapsed, what happened after the Zhaitan Disaster... Interested in helping the Ministry of Archives?
Go on...
- The four Ministries were broken down, and the ministers mostly disappeared from view... I want to know what happened to them. Their families. This is the untold history of modern Cantha.
- Sounds fascinating. How can I help?
- I've tracked down the living descendants of the Celestial Ministers. I've tried talking to them myself, but... That's where I'm hoping you come in.
- You want me to talk to them?
- Yes! See if they have any documentation—letters, permits. Anything! They're all located in Kaineng City. You should start there.
- Who am I looking for?
- I've got just enough intel to start writing, so I appreciate the help. I'd start with Xiaobo. He descended from Minster[sic] Jaisan. Not the most...friendly guy in New Kaineng.
Xiaobo it is!
- Researcher Hui: Xiaobo... Haven't interacted with him much. Jaisan's descendant. The former Minister of Earth.
- Researcher Hui: Family's still got the ministry ties, but he wrote off that lifestyle. Doesn't care for copious amounts of paperwork.
- Researcher Hui: I think he runs a noodle joint now. Pretty popular one, too, if I'm thinking of the right place.
Hold that thought.
- I'll get on that.
- I'll see what I can do.
- Maybe some other time.
- That sounds like intern work.
- During Speak to Xiaobo, the descendant of Minister Jaisan
- Are you here for a steaming bowl of noodles? Tastiest in New Kaineng!
- Actually, I'm here on behalf of a man named Hui...
- I told that weasel... Hey, I don't want to have anything to do with his little project. I don't want anyone digging into my family for fun. Let alone another Ministry mutt.
- You sure you don't have anything for me?
- No. I don't. My family's history is buried in the past... which is where it belongs. Those records are long gone. And I don't want to know more, quite frankly.
- What records?
- You... Fine. Fine! Listen, there might be something at the library. Jaisan was pretty clean on paper, so I doubt you'll find much. But when you're done... You tell Hui to leave me alone, got it?
- Library. Got it!
- Sorry to disturb you.
- Some things are better left in the past, I guess.
- Sorry to disturb you.
- I'm not hungry.
- During Return to Hui with the document about the Ministry of Earth
- Did you get anything from Xiaobo?
- Not exactly, but I did get this. Who's next?
- Figured he wouldn't talk. Doesn't care all that much for the Ministries. But this...this should do the trick. Jaisan himself signed this one, you see? Now, where did I put the MinUrb file...
- Where to next?
- Researcher Hui: Ju can be pretty shy, but she'll open up. Owns a flower shop in New Kaineng. Nice place.
- Researcher Hui: She's a descendant of Minister Nai, the former Minister of Water. Probably has the...cleanest backstory.
- Researcher Hui: Unlike the others, Nai wasn't hated. The family kept a low profile after he stepped down. Don't know a lot beyond that.
- Sounds like you've got plenty to focus on.
- He didn't talk.
- During Speak to Ju, the descendant of Minister Nai
- A customer, hello...! Oh, did Hui send you? Gods, he stopped by the shop every day for a month last time...
- He did. He's researching the Celestial Ministry...
- Yes, yes. I know. He's given me the whole pitch before. Hui is...persistent. And stubborn. Fine... Fine! You help me, I'll help you...but not for free.
- What do you have in mind?
- I could use your...specific prowess. There are four blossoms in Tyria that I can't grow here. Bring them to me, and I'll tell you whatever you'd like. I'd rather get this over with.
- I'll get picking, then. (Starts A Blooming Errand)
- Picking flowers? Do you know who I am...?
- This is beyond me.
- Sorry to bother you, ma'am.
- During Speak to Ju to receive her family history
- Do you have my flowers...?
- Here they are.
- That was a lot of work. I think I might keep them.
- During Return Ju's family history to Hui
- How did it go with Ju? Did she give you anything good?
- After I traveled the world. Literally. Who's next?
- Suyin. She's a pretty notorious wrestler... Wouldn't want to catch her on a bad day. Got a lot of resentment for Tao, but she might give you some good intel. Be prepared to take a punch or two.
- I'll track her down.
- Researcher Hui: Suyin might be a little less...welcoming than the others. She's a wrestler, but not the professional type.
- Researcher Hui: Kaineng underbelly. Harsh, bloody–not my crowd. But you know your way around a fight, maybe she'll warm up.
- Researcher Hui: Rumor has it Tao was tied to the Am Fah, a gang that used to own the streets of Kaineng.
- Researcher Hui: They're not around anymore, but I'm guessing the attitude still is.
- Maybe next time.
- Hold that thought.
- During Speak to Suyin, the descendant of Minister Tao
- Not the best neighborhood for outsiders. What do you want?
- I'm looking into the history of Minister Tao...
- Of course you are. Listen closely, pal, that criminal created nothing but trouble for my family. The Jade Brotherhood, they...they couldn't just leave us alone. We've been tormented for decades.
- The Jade Brotherhood?
- His[sic] support of the Am Fah nearly destroyed the Brotherhood. So...they destroyed my family instead. They waited until after he[sic] was arrested... We've been fightin' ever since.
- Wow. Do you have this all written down?
- I can give you what I have, but I want you to display some loyalty first. Earn my trust, where Hui expected it. Fighter to fighter. Smash some Brotherhood for me, and we'll talk after.
- Well, I am good at smashing things. (Starts Brothers in Harms)
- I'll think on it.
- This sounds like dangerous business.
- Sorry to bother you, ma'am.
- Sorry to bother you.
- During Speak to Suyin to get her family history
- Did you take care of the Brotherhood? The circles under your eyes tell a pretty vivid story.
- They had it coming.
- Hold that thought.
- During Return Suyin's document to Hui
- Did you get anything out of Suyin?
- After I trashed the Jade Brotherhood, yes. Now what?
- I forgot to mention a fairly...vital detail in this study. I'm the last descendant. Minister Zal was my great-great...great-grandfather.
- You're bringing this up now?
- I shouldn't have left you in the dark, but... Zal, he...he was always rumored to be in the pocket of the Ministry of Purity. Went into hiding shortly after the Zhaitan Disaster.
- I'm listening.
- From what I've gathered. he operated out of Old Kaineng ruins after going into hiding. If you look around, you might be able to find proof. Anything, really, that helps piece this together...
- Just look around?
- Search for remnants... Documents. Anything that pins Purist movement in the area. If you can find enough, I can use it.
- I'll go look.
- Researcher Hui: I don't know how reliable the rumors are about his ties to the Ministry of Purity, but...
- Researcher Hui: I want to know. Honestly, I need to know. If we want to do better as a nation, we can't ignore the blood on our hands.
- Researcher Hui: Just...be careful. The Purists are a nasty group of bottom-feeders and righteous assholes.
- Researcher Hui: Don't look 'em in the eye too long. They might take it as a compliment.
- Maybe later.
- That sounds a dead end.
- I don't want anything to do with that filth.
- Hold that thought.
- Not a big fan of family drama.
- During Return to Hui to discuss your findings, after finishing Pure Enmity
- Find anything worth using?
- A lot of...random documents. Don't know if they'll help.
- Researcher Hui: History isn't always pretty. But it's important.
- Researcher Hui: It's important to know why things happened the way they did, what went wrong...
- Researcher Hui: ...and not just to know, but to understand why. To know who was responsible–who went along with those choices.
- Researcher Hui: Cantha isn't perfect, but we need to know our real history. Not just the watered-down version we tell kids in school.
- Researcher Hui: The Celestial Ministry wasn't all bad... But it was complicit. So we have to do better.
- No, these are perfect. Do you know what this says? Here, it confirms that Zal was working with the Purists...and that he lived so much longer than we thought. The Celestial Blessing is so potent...
- Glad I could help.
- Hold that important thought.
- Hold that thought.
