Makoru

I can’t believe the Twilight Order are responsible for bringing the Beast back into the world! To be honest… I’d rather not go back there, if we don’t have to.

Makoru

The first thing that grinning lot of fools did when they got here was build their enclave. The Twilight Order, they call themselves. Spend most of their time brain washing anyone who’ll listen. And they’ve even got a decent chunk of Karui converted to their cause… whatever it may be. Bigger chunk of us can’t stand them though, myself included.

Warrior

As long as they cause no harm, I wouldn’t worry.

Witch

Smiling evangelists? Oh, I’d rather die.

Sorceress

I will try my best not to eviscerate them.

Ranger

Genuinely sounds like an awful place.

Huntress

Try not to judge a book by its cover. Maybe they mean well?

Monk

Any following is easily misunderstood, from the outside.

Mercenary

I’ll figure ‘em out. Been in a fight with many a zealot back in Trarthus.

Druid

Ach. Fools plantin’ roots in rotten soil.

Makoru

Too right.

Makoru

I just think it’s a dangerous game they’re playing. Religion always is. I suppose we can visit them if you like, but I doubt it’ll be very helpful.

Warrior

These waters have long been Karui. Do the Elders speak of anything like a forge?

Witch

Please tell me the Karui know something that might get this moving. We need an ancient forge.

Sorceress

I am seeking an island with ancient technology. Likely buried beneath the earth. Do the Karui tales mention anything like this?

Ranger

Makoru, have the Karui passed down any stories about an island with an ancient forge on it?

Huntress

We must find an ancient forge. Have you lot heard anything about summat like that?

Monk

May I entreat the wisdom of the Karui? We are looking for an ancient forge.

Mercenary

Miss Makoru, please tell me you got some ideas about where to find an old forge, or an island with a bunch of ancient shite on it.

Druid

I seek a forge, old as the land itself. Do ye know of anythin’ like that?

Makoru

I’ve never heard any mention of such a place.

Kanu

I have.

Makoru

Really? Where?

Kanu

My old tribe tells a tale of a foreign medicine woman. It’s a very old story. Took place after a great fire scoured the world. My ancestors had to dive into the sea, just to survive. When they came to the surface, they found a burned woman, floating in the tide.

Makoru

What’s this have to do with a forge? Get to the point.

Kanu

She begged them to take her somewhere and promised to forge them a great reward. But… the toll was too heavy. She was too injured. And she died trying to use the forge. She was buried there.

Makoru

Where?

Kanu

Arastas. Well… wasn’t called that back then though.

Makoru

Arastas? Why didn’t you mention this sooner?

Kanu

Mention what? An old myth about a foreign woman who died trying to use a forge some unknown thousands of years ago? I only knew you were looking for pieces of some old artefact. I didn’t hear nothing about looking for a forge!
