Servitor Marius
It strikes me, you know… the Azmeri really have no need of our teachings.
Huntress
What are you sayin’ to me right now?
Servitor Marius
You already live in a sort of Utopia. In harmony. What else could we possibly teach you?
Huntress
Oh. Unexpected. True enough, though. I wish I could go home.
Servitor Marius
You can’t go home? Perhaps you could find a place here, with us.
Huntress
We’ll see.
Servitor Marius
Rumours abound of what befell the Druids of Skothe. Some say slaughtered, others… that they linger in the shadows, now beholden to some darker purpose. Tell me, wild one - which tale is true?
Druid
Ye’d have to ask someone who remembers - if any yet live.
Servitor Marius
And you? No memories at all?
Druid
Nothin’ I care to speak of. The Druids are gone. That’s all there is to say.
Druid
Only fragments… fog and fear and screamin’ in the dark.
Bah. The Druids are gone. That’s all there is to say.
Servitor Marius
Pain leaves scars, wild one - but scars are not the end of you. Devote yourself to the Order, and you may yet find healing.
Servitor Marius
There are not many Ezomytes joining us. Most won’t even listen. What is it that compels them to resist our message?
Ranger
We don’t like being told what to do.
Monk
Hahah! You’ll never meet anyone more irrepressible.
Servitor Marius
Ah, the spirit of rebellion burns strong in Ezomyte blood. We could use that in the new world… just not pointed in our direction.
Servitor Marius
The Karui are strong, but their youth are thirsting for change. The Way meant survival in the old world. It will not be needed in Utopia.
Marauder
The Elders won’t be happy about that.
Servitor Marius
Well, they never are.
Marauder
Hah! You’re not wrong.
Servitor Marius
The Maraketh are a vibrant success story. Harsh traditions kept them alive for eons in a brutal world. You won’t need to be so militant in our Utopia.
Sorceress
What if I {prefer} being ‘militant?’
Servitor Marius
Oh… well… you don’t have to stay in Utopia. I suppose you could always sail to Kalguur. Perhaps their way of life would suit you better.
Sorceress
That’s it? You’re not going to try to convince me?
Servitor Marius
Young lady, I’m not a preacher. More of a… realist idealist. If Utopia doesn’t work for you, you’re not a prisoner.
Sorceress
I suppose that’s fair.
Servitor Marius
You need not waste my time, covenite. I know you don’t truly intend to listen.
Witch
What gave it away?
Servitor Marius
Whether you appreciate it or not, we’re building Utopia for you, too. We will lift your pain, and absolve that which drives you to dark magics.
Witch
I like my pain, thank you. It’s what drives me ever forward, a relentless whip at my heels.
Servitor Marius
I see. You have no home, no friends, not even a pet - not a living one, anyway. You fear you would be nothing, if not for your ambition.
Witch
Shut your mouth, old man, before I rip it out.
Servitor Marius
Trarthans are the lowest scum this world has to offer. The throw-aways of Wraeclast. Cast in the image of crassness and treachery.
Mercenary
Watch it. I’m Trarthan.
Servitor Marius
Or so I’ve heard, from the Eternal Empire’s histories. Not my opinions. Just from the scholars of the time.
Mercenary
Ehh I’m just gettin’ your goat! You’re spot on. We’re a bunch of arseholes, and proud of it!
Servitor Marius
You bear an odd mix of tattoos. A few Karui, most Ezomyte, one or two Oriathan slave marks. What is your tale, I wonder?
Warrior
I wish I knew. I was found on the shores of Ogham by my father.
Servitor Marius
Ahh… there were many shipwrecks and tragedies when Oriath fell. It’s possible your ancestry is lost to time. Supposedly, the Karui can speak to their ancestors. Perhaps you should ask them.
Warrior
I might just do that… if they’ll listen.

Servitor Marius on Introduction
Servitor Marius on Introduction
Servitor Marius
Welcome to Arastas, friend. Praise those who seek Utopia! I am Servitor Marius. I’m pleased to tell you, the Twilight Order opens its arms to all. However, only those who pledge to our cause are welcome within this hall…
Servitor Marius
Are you seeking answers, strong one?
Warrior
Aren’t we all?
Servitor Marius
Indeed. And here you shall find them! Join us. Pledge yourself to a new tomorrow!
Servitor Marius
Are you seeking redemption, covenite?
Witch
Redemption? I’ve no need for redemption, dear.
Servitor Marius
Sometimes we are blind to our own reflection. But there is hope for you. Pledge yourself to a higher destiny!
Servitor Marius
Are you seeking hope, desert-born?
Sorceress
Hope could be what helps us save the world.
Servitor Marius
You are very wise. Yes, indeed. You could be a part of that future. Pledge yourself to a shining horizon!
Servitor Marius
Are you seeking belonging, recluse?
Ranger
Well, that was brutal. I don’t think I am, no.
Servitor Marius
I see it in your eyes. You {need} a sense of purpose. I am pleased for you. Here, you will find it. Pledge yourself to a new beginning!
Servitor Marius
Are you seeking forgiveness, Azmeri?
Huntress
I seek the Spirit. Only in that, can I have my forgiveness.
Servitor Marius
You believe in your {Spirit.} But I believe in {you.} Untether yourself from pain. Pledge yourself to a worthy cause!
Servitor Marius
Are you seeking enlightenment, disciple?
Monk
No. The Dreamer has {already} enlightened me.
Servitor Marius
We must not rely on {dreams}, but reality. The Order can provide all you will ever need. Pledge yourself to find your true potential!
Servitor Marius
Are you seeking fulfilment, degenerate?
Mercenary
Hang on…
Servitor Marius
Because we are willing to–
Mercenary
No, no… hang on. Degenerate?
Servitor Marius
We are willing to absolve your past self of his crimes! In his place will stand a new man. Pledge yourself to a fresh start!
Servitor Marius
Are you seeking peace, wild one?
Druid
I seek many things, preacher-man… but unless ye’ve a cure for amnesia, I suggest ye move on.
Servitor Marius
Ah, but that is where you are mistaken! The Order does not ask you to remember - only to begin anew. Forget what you’ve lost. Pledge yourself to the Order, and claim what you yet could be.

Servitor Marius on Pledge
Servitor Marius on Pledge
Servitor Marius
Yes! The pledge is something we take very seriously. It is a commitment. A commitment to yourself, and to Utopia. All we ask is that you join us wholeheartedly, without fear. Doubt is natural, and we will answer all your questions. Leaving only pure determination toward the betterment of the world!
Warrior
I will listen… but I cannot promise more than that.
Witch
I’m not trying to better the world. I’m trying to {conquer} it.
Sorceress
I {am} looking for a place in this world… but I’m not sure this is it. Still, share your tale.
Ranger
My home is littered with the rusted consequences of such hubris.
Huntress
I’m already pledged to the Spirit, but we should work together.
Monk
My allegiance lies {fully} elsewhere.
Mercenary
It’s a cult, mate. It’s definitely a cult. But… cults can be fun.
Druid
Lot o’ fancy words. Not sure they mean much.
Servitor Marius
You need not decide immediately, of course. Dine with us. Come to know us. We always say: you arrive a stranger on Arastas, but remain as a friend. The pledge can come later. For now, how about tithing?

Servitor Marius on Plight
Servitor Marius
I can take your pledge, or a tithing. No more, no less.
Warrior
I’d just like to hear {you} speak more about this place.
Witch
Come now… cat got your tongue?
Sorceress
You can tell me nothing substantial?
Ranger
You don’t like questions, do you?
Huntress
What’s wrong? You can’t tell me nothing?
Monk
You fear something. I can sense it.
Mercenary
What’s going on? What you worried about?
Druid
So that’s it? Nothin’ more ye can say?
Servitor Marius
A servitor knows his place. Utopia awaits!

Servitor Marius
Tithing is a noble action indeed. Your support would be much appreciated.
Warrior
What would I be supporting with this tithe?
Witch
Oh look. Now he wants coin.
Sorceress
You want me to pay you? For what?
Ranger
You just have to have {something}, don’t you?
Huntress
I might have a spare coin or two… wait, what even is it you’re doing?
Monk
I hesitate to invest in your ideas. I am not even sure what they are.
Mercenary
Are you kiddin’ me?
Druid
Ah, there it is. The coin.
Servitor Marius
All in service of Utopia.
Servitor Marius
We will gladly educate you about our cause.
Servitor Marius
Lorandis, our missionary, will happily fill you in. I’m sure he’ll visit Kingsmarch soon enough.
Servitor Marius
You should seek the counsel of our missionary, Lorandis, once more.
Servitor Marius
He can speak to the details of our plight better than I.
