Missionary Lorandis on Introduction
Missionary Lorandis
I am so pleased you made it, friend. Arastas and the Order welcomes you! What’s ours is yours… break bread with us… share–
Warrior
I’m here for information.
Witch
Hush now. I don’t think so.
Sorceress
Please. Hold your tongue a moment. I need to know something…
Ranger
I’m not here for bread.
Huntress
Please… you’re givin’ me a headache. I need information.
Monk
Enough. I am seeking information.
Mercenary
Quit it. I’m looking for some information.
Druid
Oh, keep yer bread. I’m here for answers.
Missionary Lorandis
I see. How can we assist you?
Warrior
I’m looking for an ancient forge. Have you seen anything like that here?
Witch
I’d like to take a little tour of this island. See the sights.
Sorceress
Have you seen any signs of an ancient forge on this island?
Ranger
I’m looking for ancient ruins. There should be some here. Have you seen them?
Huntress
Have you seen any worn old ruins on this island?
Monk
I must find an ancient forge. I have reason to believe it’s on this island.
Mercenary
I’m lookin’ for some real old ruins. Got any ‘round here?
Druid
I’m after a forge - near old as the land itself. Know of such a thing?
Missionary Lorandis
Hmm… I think I {may} be able to help. But it will require a notable member of the Order. Please, follow me.
Warrior
Get on with it.
Witch
Oh, no. What are you selling?
Sorceress
Please. Go on.
Ranger
I’m listening.
Huntress
Go on, then.
Monk
You have my attention.
Mercenary
Alright. Let’s have it then.
Druid
Go on, then. Time’s wastin’.
Missionary Lorandis
I am pleased to meet you. I am Lorandis. A missionary of the Twilight Order. But I am here to warn you… The end of days approaches. Something evil has awoken on Wraeclast. You have faced it, have you not? I can see it in your eyes. You have faced the wickedness in the hearts of men!
Warrior
Wickedness is all around us. It cannot be avoided.
Witch
Haven’t we all? What of it?
Sorceress
Wickedness lies where we least expect. Yes. I know this.
Ranger
Yes. Yes I have.
Huntress
Aye. True enough.
Monk
The hearts of men have always languished for more. What of it?
Mercenary
Sure. I’ve seen my fair share of wickedness.
Druid
Wickedness? Oh, aye. As it happens, I’ve a wicked desire to be anywhere else right now.
Missionary Lorandis
You jest - but this is no laughing matter.
Missionary Lorandis
They seek to conquer us, to rule us. We must act! We must fight back!
Missionary Lorandis
Friend, I have urgent news for you. Time is short and the unmaking of the world is nigh! Please, listen to what I have to say.

Missionary Lorandis on Fight Back
Missionary Lorandis on Fight Back
Missionary Lorandis
Do you hear that, Kalguurans? Here is one who will join us in the fight! We will save this world together!
Warrior
Will you stop that? I’ve not yet joined any fight of yours.
Witch
Great. Now he’s yelling nonsense at the Kalguurans.
Sorceress
Please, leave {them} and {me} out of this. You’re making fools of us both.
Ranger
Excuse me. Do not assume I am onboard.
Huntress
Wait, wait! First of all, how are we saving the world?
Monk
Keep your voice down. It’s unbecoming.
Mercenary
Sheesh. Keep it subtle, eh?
Druid
I made no such pledge. Ye twist my words quicker than a snake.
Missionary Lorandis
Utopia is a dream, but Wraeclast is a nightmare. Let us choose which we live in, yes?

Missionary Lorandis on Kalguurans
Missionary Lorandis on Kalguurans
Missionary Lorandis
We do not despise the Kalguurans. We merely consider them lucky fools… In their faraway land, they have no concept of the problems we face here! So they do not take our struggle seriously.
Warrior
What of the Kalguurans {here}? They seem honourable.
Witch
No gods, no Corruption. What do they do for fun?
Sorceress
What rubbish. They seem very honourable to me. They are wondrous people.
Ranger
We’ve always been on our own. Why should they help us?
Huntress
We should be working together. Can we win them over?
Monk
What of it? Do we care about the struggles on their distant continent?
Mercenary
Everywhere’s got problems, believe me.
Druid
Easy to sneer at what ye dinnae understand.
Missionary Lorandis
Kalguurans are not like us. They stand apart. Their souls are clean. No Divinity, no Corruption. Wraeclast has gods capable of horrors beyond comprehension. Yet their sole fear looms largest - their aging tyrant King. Absurd.
Warrior
None of them talk about their King. Do you know something?
Witch
Absurd {is} the word. What is their King trying to do, anyway?
Sorceress
Some gods can lead their people to glory. Kings only cause suffering.
Ranger
Have they told you about their King? What’s his aim?
Huntress
Why do they fear their King?
Monk
We fear the danger we know more than the danger that lurks on the horizon.
Mercenary
Their King? What’s he up to, anyhow?
Druid
They’re awful tight-lipped about their King. What do {you} know of him?
Missionary Lorandis
The Kalguuran King seeks Vaal artefacts. I know not why, but the reason must be sordid. The Vaal destroyed themselves. We will not make the same mistake.

Missionary Lorandis on Servitor Marius
Missionary Lorandis on Servitor Marius
Missionary Lorandis
Ah. So you’ve met Servitor Marius. A diligent Shepherd of Tomorrow.
Warrior
He was not very forthcoming about what you believe in.
Witch
He wanted a lot, but gave nothing.
Sorceress
I didn’t get much information from him. Quite strange.
Ranger
He told me nothing really.
Huntress
Why was he afraid to tell me anything?
Monk
Marius did not wish to part with any important details of your Order.
Mercenary
Seemed a bit dodgy. Sounded like he wasn’t sure what to share and what not to.
Druid
Strange… For a preacher man, he said precious little.
Missionary Lorandis
Oh! We just have very particular roles, you see. He is a Servitor. He tends to the congregation. Quite an important task. I am a missionary. My role is to spread word to those willing to hear about the New Tomorrow.
Warrior
So you keep close watch over the story…
Witch
So you’re the {better} manipulator…
Sorceress
Ah. So you’re in charge of how the Order is perceived…
Ranger
So you control the narrative…
Huntress
I see. So he’s not allowed to talk much…
Monk
So {his} tongue is bound, while {yours} is free…
Mercenary
So his role is to shut up? Charming.
Druid
Aye… so you’re the tongue, and he the teeth.
Missionary Lorandis
Not… exactly.
Missionary Lorandis
Don’t worry, friend. It all becomes clearer the closer you get. With a large operation such as ours, defined roles are an important part of achieving success. So many moving parts, the world over. It is freeing knowing your place in it all! I am very pleased you are showing such interest in our efforts!

Missionary Lorandis

Missionary Lorandis on Saviour
Missionary Lorandis on Saviour
Missionary Lorandis
Our Saviour is a mere mortal, like you or I… only, better. The Saviour is being raised free from the corruption of wickedness. This… this is the key to our success. If you wish to know more, you should visit our enclave on Arastas. It is not too far from here!
Missionary Lorandis
As we speak, the Karui flock to our island. Eager to join the cause and save Wraeclast!
Warrior
That alone must cause Tavakai great concern.
Witch
The Chieftain must be {really} pleased about that.
Sorceress
That is particularly distressing for the Chieftain.
Ranger
You’ve caused great upset in these parts.
Huntress
You’re causing harm… luring young Karui there.
Monk
You are part of the cause of Tavakai’s ill temper.
Mercenary
Tavakai would have a word with you, I’d say…
Druid
Aye - and Tavakai’s well pleased about that.
Warrior
I’ll see if I can find time.
Witch
Sounds like torture. We shall see.
Sorceress
I will consider it.
Ranger
I’ll think about it.
Huntress
Perhaps I will.
Monk
I go where I am guided.
Mercenary
I might have a look. Dunno.
Druid
Perhaps. But I’ve no taste for sermons.
Missionary Lorandis
It will all be clear to the Chieftain in time. So… will you pledge yourself to the Twilight Order?
Missionary Lorandis
You will not regret your visit. There, you’ll have the chance to pledge to the Twilight Order.

Missionary Lorandis on Success
Missionary Lorandis on Success
Warrior
What does ‘success’ look like to the Order?
Witch
How do you {measure} success?
Sorceress
So how will you know when you have succeeded?
Ranger
When will your mission be over?
Huntress
How do you know if you’ve accomplished what you need to?
Monk
What is success to you?
Mercenary
What’s it look like to you, all said and done?
Druid
So, this Order… what is it ye’re after, exactly?
Missionary Lorandis
No more pain. No more suffering. No more horrors upon the world. A fresh start. A time we can be proud of. Wraeclast is beleaguered by the most detestable of creations. Unnatural creations. Creations that manipulate our existence. Their time must come to an end!
Warrior
Do you mean… gods?
Witch
Oh of course, you’re talking about Divinity.
Sorceress
Hmm. I am not sure I follow what you mean.
Ranger
Sounds like mankind to me…
Huntress
Who do you speak of? Beasts? {Rathin}?
Monk
The Gods.
Mercenary
Who the heck are you talking about?
Druid
Until that last part, I thought you meant kinfolk. But I’m guessin’ you mean gods.
Missionary Lorandis
The gods must never come back. And Divinity must forever return to its dormancy within whatever void it sprung from. Our Saviour is almost ready… He will remake the world. A world free of Divinity. And thus, a world free of Corruption.
Warrior
And how will the Saviour achieve this?
Witch
Evangelists hard at work. I must say, I am not compelled.
Sorceress
The gods are responsible for much pain… but also, much beauty.
Ranger
The First Ones have never brought me harm. Why should I fear them?
Huntress
The Spirit is all I know. It’s outside the folly of man… which gods are not.
Monk
The gods are flawed. Divinity is flawed. As they are derived from man. But the Dreamer… he is without these deficiencies.
Mercenary
The gods have caused these lands a lot of trouble. I can see that.
Druid
The gods are flawed, aye… but mortals no less so.
Missionary Lorandis
Utopia will not remember these gods. They will have no name there. They will never be, nor will they ever have been. Praise be in Utopia’s name! Praise be upon the Saviour! Now… are you ready to take the pledge?

Missionary Lorandis on Twilight Order
Missionary Lorandis on Twilight Order
Missionary Lorandis
We are an order of true believers dedicated to the salvation of humanity! To that end, we have given everything, and will continue to give of ourselves until Wraeclast is saved.
Warrior
You make a good sales pitch. But what is the catch?
Witch
Sounds too good to be true. Probably is.
Sorceress
Your cause sounds admirable. But just as the sands, nothing is perfect.
Ranger
I don’t really know what to make of any of it. It sounds unrealistic.
Huntress
If you lot are trying hard to do the right thing… I can’t condemn ya.
Monk
If humanity can even be saved, is it really in your power to do so?
Mercenary
Sounds good on the tin. But I’m curious what’s behind it all.
Druid
So ye say. But talk is cheap, lad.
Missionary Lorandis
Friend, we are on the same side! Surely, you will pledge yourself to aid in the cause!

Missionary Lorandis on Utopia
Missionary Lorandis on Utopia
Missionary Lorandis
Utopia is not possible while wickedness in the hearts of men can be rewarded so extravagantly. Our Saviour will bring about that utopia, and in it, you shall be free. We all shall be free! There will be none to rule you, none to tell you how to live.
Warrior
It is already the case. I am my own man.
Witch
Do you see anyone pulling my strings?
Sorceress
I am a free woman. Banished… but free.
Ranger
No one owns {me} - missionary.
Huntress
Only the Spirit may lay claim upon me. I welcome it.
Monk
The Dreamer does not enforce. Simply guides.
Mercenary
Ain’t no one telling me how to do nothing.
Druid
Only one soul who could ever tell me how to live… and she’s long gone.
Missionary Lorandis
My condolences. But…
Missionary Lorandis
Please understand… It will be a glorious thing to behold. The struggle for freedom from tyranny will finally be over!
