Tujen on Dannig
Tujen
Now, that there’s a good man. He’s led us through thick and thin. An aspiring dreamer {and} a cynical realist. He’s a unique fellow.
Ranger
He seems like just another leader to me. What of him do you admire?
Huntress
What makes you trust him so deeply?
Monk
What makes this Dannig so important to you?
Witch
What do you admire about the tall one?
Sorceress
You speak with great respect for him. What makes you admire him so, Master Tujen?
Warrior
What is it about him that inspires you?
Mercenary
Seems an alright bloke, I guess. What makes him such a great leader?
Druid
What sets him apart?
Tujen
His conviction. His passion. He could change the world, if he just believed he could.

Tujen on Dark Mists
Tujen on Dark Mists
Tujen
Before you go… perhaps I can ask a favour. See, Kingsmarch trade has seen better days. Ships go out and they don’t come back. And that kinda shite is bad for business…
Ranger
The water is not my home… but what do you need?
Huntress
What’s the problem then?
Monk
Mysterious.
Witch
Dark foreboding seas! Oh I can’t wait.
Sorceress
Oh dear. I feel seasick already.
Warrior
What’s the cause of this?
Mercenary
Alright. Who I gotta kill?
Druid
I’m at home on land, not sea.
But, if ye’re truly desperate… what is it ye need?
Tujen
A local island we call ‘Journey’s End’ is spewing out blasted fog all over the sea, as thick as mud! The Karui know all about it, but won’t seem to touch it. Somethin’ has to be done.
Ranger
How can {we} get there?
Huntress
But how will we fare through that fog?
Monk
If this fog is blinding… we can’t make it there.
Witch
Fog like a thick cold blanket. Mmm. Wait. How will we get there?
Sorceress
This fog will prevent us from making the journey, no?
Warrior
How will we find our way through the fog?
Mercenary
Sure. But how we gettin’ there?
Sorceress
That fog’ll swallow ship and soul alike. How do we get there?
Tujen
Makoru can do it. She’s Karui, and grew up on these waters. If anyone can get you there, it’s her, no doubt.
Ranger
I’ll look into it.
Huntress
Spirit guide me, this fog won’t linger.
Monk
I’ll ease your trouble, Kalguuran.
Witch
Fog clearer at your service, I guess.
Sorceress
I will do my best for you, Master Tujen.
Warrior
I’ll do what I can.
Mercenary
A job’s a job. Sure thing.
Druid
Seems I’ve a job to do.
Tujen
We’d be in your debt! And… I’ve got somethin’ special with your name on it… … if you can clear that bloody fog!
Tujen
I should have known something was off about all that. In my younger days, I’d never have been fooled by such a charlatan…
Ranger
I don’t believe my eyes or ears anymore.
Huntress
I’m just as surprised as you. We weren’t to know.
Monk
That being… was powerful beyond our means.
Witch
Wasn’t it obvious? Idiot.
Sorceress
That thing… fooled us both.
Warrior
We both were fooled. There was no way to know.
Mercenary
Look. Shite happens. What you gonna do?
Druid
When ye want somethin’ to be true, it’s easier to be led astray.
Tujen
Aye, perhaps. Nonetheless, the fog is cleared, and a Kalguuran always pays up. As promised - this is for you.

Tujen on Gwennen
Tujen
It’s quite the worry. Not one of us sleeps right at night lately. It’s just not like her to disappear this long.
Ranger
She likely can take care of herself. Why the concern?
Huntress
Surely she’ll be back. Keep hope.
Monk
She will return if it is destined.
Witch
So she’s missing then? Probably dead.
Sorceress
I would be troubled too, if it’s not like her.
Warrior
How long has it been since you saw her?
Mercenary
Not a good sign. Not good at all.
Druid
The wild takes many who wander too far.
Tujen
Great… Great, yeah. {Real reassurin’.}
Tujen
We’d seen her a lot more recently, after certain folk made their way back to Kalguur some years back. She’s not one to be tied down to mortar and stone, mind you. But weeks without a word… No. That’s not our Gwen.
Ranger
I’ll look out for her. But I’m sure she’s just fine.
Huntress
I wish the best for your friend. I’ll have a look on me travels.
Monk
If I see her, I’ll tell her of your concern.
Witch
Well, if I find her and she {isn’t} dead… perhaps I’ll tell her to come by.
Sorceress
Rest assured. I will see if I can find your friend.
Warrior
I’ll do my best to find her.
Mercenary
I’ll keep an eye out.
Druid
If fate wills it, I’ll find her.
Tujen
Please do.

Tujen on Introduction
Tujen
The name’s Tujen. I’m the harbourmaster ‘round here. Welcome to our fair little town. You’ve a vessel charter, I see?
Huntress
Aye. Makoru’s had her eyes on it.
Monk
Yes. Makoru is now in my employ.
Warrior
That’s right. Makoru has accepted the charter.
Witch
Yes, yes. Makoru has seen it.
Sorceress
Indeed. Makoru has seen it.
Ranger
Yes. Makoru has seen it.
Mercenary
That’s right. Makoru’s agreed to work for me.
Druid
That’s right. Makoru’s taken the charter.
Tujen
Nice to hear. I’m sure she’ll appreciate the work.
Tujen
The name’s Tujen. I’m the harbourmaster ‘round here. Welcome to our fair little town. What ya need?
Warrior
I’m seeking a ship and crew.
Witch
Hello, little one! I need a boat and some… boat people.
Sorceress
Good day, Master Tujen. I need a ship and a crew.
Ranger
I’m looking for a ship and crew.
Huntress
I’m in need of a ship and crew.
Monk
I seek safe passage on these waters.
Mercenary
Hey, mate. Lookin’ for a ship and crew.
Druid
This land-locked soul is after a ship - and hands to crew it.
Tujen
Well… first of all, you’ll need a charter. Rog’s your man for that. Once you have one, Makoru, Captain of the Aurora May is your best option for gettin’ around these waters.
Tujen
The name’s Tujen. I’m the harbourmaster ‘round here. Welcome to our fair little town. You’ve a vessel charter, I see?
Huntress
Greetings, Tujen. I’m lookin’ for Makoru.
Monk
Yes. I seek Makoru.
Warrior
That’s right. I’m looking for Makoru.
Witch
Hello, little one! Yes. I’m looking for Makoru.
Sorceress
Greetings, Master Tujen. Indeed, I have a charter. I seek Makoru.
Ranger
Yes. Where can I find Makoru?
Mercenary
Hey, mate. Yeah… Know where Makoru is?
Druid
Aye that’s right, wee fella. Where will I find Makoru?
Tujen
Just down the pier. It’s the only ship on the dock right now.
Tujen
Who’d have thought? We’re finally back at it. Guess we’ve got you to thank… or to blame.
Ranger
You’re welcome.
Huntress
It had to be done.
Monk
My path is set before me by the Dreamer… but you’re welcome.
Witch
So sorry to inconvenience you by trying to save the world.
Sorceress
I am pleased for you, Master Tujen. Duty falls upon those with power.
Warrior
You are most welcome.
Mercenary
Some things never change.
Druid
Blame or thanks, makes no odds. The work still needs doin’.

Tujen on Freya Hartlin
Tujen
Freya Hartlin? Is that you?
Freya Hartlin
Yes. It is.
Witch
You’ve been a while, old woman.
Sorceress
You remind me of the tale-woman of my {akhara}. Please… how long have you been here, dear Freya?
Ranger
How long have you been here?
Huntress
Time must’ve moved slow for ya here…
Warrior
How long have you been trapped here?
Monk
How long have you been here, Freya?
Mercenary
Blimey. How long you been here?
Druid
How long have ye been bound here?
Freya Hartlin
Longer than I can fathom.
Witch
Any ideas on how to remove your curse?
Sorceress
My heart is in pain for you. How can we break this magic?
Ranger
How can we help you?
Huntress
How can we break this? Can I smash it?
Warrior
There must be a way to get you out of this.
Monk
If the Dreamer wills it, you will be freed.
Mercenary
Alright. How we gettin’ you out?
Druid
There {must} be a way to break this binding.
Freya Hartlin
My boy… he’s lost somewhere on the island. And with him… our trove of raw Verisium. It must be runesmithed into spikes… It is the only way to break this seal.
Tujen
Captain Grisham Hartlin.
Freya Hartlin
I also fear… for his fate.
Tujen
Well then. Best we find him. Dannig can help with the Verisium. Now, get your arse moving and look for the Captain!
Tujen
I’ll stay with Freya.

Tujen on Freya’s Survival
Tujen on Freya's Survival
Tujen
You’ve been out here for so many years. How did you survive?
Freya Hartlin
Shellfish… rainwater… And hope.
Tujen
Remarkable.
Witch
Save the fanciful stories for your son.
Huntress
I don’t know all the ways of the Karui, but I doubt they intended this trap for you.
Monk
The Dreamer has brought me to this place for a reason. I shall aid you.
Warrior
I’ll get you out of there. I give you my word.
Mercenary
I’ll ‘ave you out of there right quick, granny.
Sorceress
You’re no {balbalakh}. You do not deserve this fate. I shall free you.
Ranger
Don’t worry. I’ll have you out of that cage in no time.
Druid
Malice fills this place…
To survive so long… it defies sense.
Tujen
Hasn’t she been through enough?
Tujen
Hear that, Freya?
Tujen
Now you’re talkin’!
Freya Hartlin
There were times… I almost… …gave up.
Tujen
Now look whatcha done!
Tujen
Now, now! We’ve arrived just in time.
Tujen
Please, don’t cry. We’re here.

Tujen on Captain Hartlin
Tujen on Captain Hartlin
Tujen
I remember your boy, Freya. Worked for us for a long while. Captain Hartlin. A capable seafarer. Well respected among his crew. Good drinker, too.
Freya Hartlin
He’s the apple of my eye.
Tujen
Really? I thought you’d fallen out over the whole -
Freya Hartlin
We’re still family, and family is all that matters.
Tujen
Aye. True that is.
Tujen
Aye, blood is thicker than water.
Tujen
Aye, true enough.
Witch
Ugh, {family this, love that}. Are you so easily fooled, little one?
Huntress
I would do anything to rejoin the mountainborn.
Monk
Blood may bind us… …but choice defines us.
Warrior
I couldn’t agree more.
Sorceress
Family? Appreciate it while you have it. It can be taken away quicker than you think.
Ranger
Speak for yourself. I do just fine on my own.
Mercenary
With respect, there’s one or two things that matter more to us low-lives…
Druid
Yes… family {is} all that matters… ‘til it’s torn from ye.
Tujen
You’re a jolly one, aren’t ya?
Tujen
Don’t test me, dark one!
Tujen
Well… aren’t you just a ray of sunshine?
Tujen
Hahaha! I know exactly what you’re gettin’ at!

Tujen on The Kalguur
Tujen on The Kalguur
Tujen
I used to believe a whole load ‘a bollocks about honour and tradition. ‘We do this not for ourselves, but for our children.’ The words were hollow, but the intent was good. It really is all about making a better world for those that’ll follow us.
Ranger
So you do all this for new generations?
Huntress
So you do this for the future of your kin. I respect that.
Monk
Hmm. Forward thinking for future Kalguurans.
Witch
So little Tujen and friends came to build a new tomorrow for the Kalguurans? Of course he did.
Sorceress
So you are here to build a new future for your people. Admirable.
Warrior
So you came here to build a better life for future Kalguur? How noble.
Mercenary
Better future for the kids, that kinda thing?
Druid
So ye toil for those yet unborn? A noble burden.
Tujen
Yeah. Something like that.
Ranger
Things are never this simple. Go on.
Huntress
But what of it? There must be more to it than that.
Monk
You don’t inspire confidence in the virtue of that reasoning.
Witch
Now, now… don’t tell me half the story.
Sorceress
I feel you are leaving out some… important details.
Warrior
There is more to this story. There always is.
Mercenary
Come on. I don’t completely buy it, mate.
Druid
Fair enough. But you’re not tellin’ the whole of it.
Tujen
Quite worldly, aren’t ya? The situation back in Kalguur made the prospect of Wraeclast a little more appealing than it otherwise would’ve been.
FF0000
A strange choice for a new home. What happened?
FF0000
What happened?
FF0000
What took place?
FF0000
Kalguur must really be a dump to abandon it for Wraeclast… Do tell, why?
FF0000
Not that I know of your home, but it must have been dire for you to become an immigrant on Wraeclast. What happened in Kalguur?
FF0000
Wraeclast is anything {but} appealing. What happened back in Kalguur?
FF0000
I know all about being forced out due to political nonsense… What happened?
FF0000
Folk dinnae leave their homelands for naught.
What brought ye here?
Tujen
Ah, you know, the usual things that make good folk run to the ends of the world. Water under the bridge, now. No sense poking a hornet’s nest. The big man’s resolved to leave us alone, so long as we keep sending back Vaal artefacts… Or whatever else his heart desires…

Tujen on Kanu
Tujen on Kanu
Tujen
He’s fairly new in town. I heard he had too many ‘modern’ ideas for the Chieftain’s liking. He seems capable enough, and he’s loyal to Makoru.
Ranger
I should tread lightly around Tavakai.
Huntress
I ought to mind my tongue around Tavakai then?
Monk
Tavakai values tradition.
Witch
Tavakai seems a bully.
Sorceress
So I should be cautious around this ‘Tavakai’.
Warrior
Tavakai seems like someone to avoid upsetting…
Mercenary
Tavakai is a stern bugger.
Druid
Tavakai seems a hard man to please.
Tujen
That’s right. He’s a tough one. Best not to cross him.
Tujen
He’s fairly new in town. I heard he had too many ‘modern’ ideas for the Chieftain’s liking. He seems capable enough, and Makoru’s taken a liking to him.
Ranger
Tell me about this Chieftain.
Huntress
I’d like to meet this Chieftain. Tell me about him.
Monk
This Chieftain… what of him?
Witch
Who is the {mighty} Chieftain around here?
Sorceress
Tell me, who is this Chieftain?
Warrior
Who is the Chieftain in these parts?
Mercenary
Guess I better know more about this Chieftain fella.
Druid
This Chieftain… what can ye tell me about him?
Tujen
His name’s Tavakai. He’s a bit of a hard arse. A real warrior. And we do our very best not to cross him!
Ranger
I will not intentionally upset him.
Huntress
I’ll treat him with the respect he deserves. No doubt.
Monk
A decorated warrior deserves respect.
Witch
I look forward to arguing with him.
Sorceress
Don’t worry. I will be respectful. I am his guest, after all.
Warrior
I’ll keep that in mind.
Mercenary
Blimey. I’ll watch my mouth then.
Tujen
Heh! Good luck with that.
Tujen
Wise.
Tujen
That maggot bastard! Ugh, just goes to show, ya never truly know someone…
Ranger
He learned the hard way.
Huntress
He’ll be judged by his Ancestors for what he did.
Monk
His path was flawed. It is not uncommon for weak minds.
Witch
Dead now. No longer a concern.
Sorceress
He paid the ultimate price for his betrayal.
Warrior
It’s unfortunate what became of him. He was lost.
Mercenary
Well… he got what was comin’.
Druid
Even the stoutest tree can rot from within.
Tujen
But how did I not see it? I got blind drunk with him only a few days ago!
Ranger
Your judgment was impaired by your choices.
Huntress
Sometimes we can’t see what’s right in front of us.
Monk
Spend less time at the bottom of a glass, perhaps.
Witch
Maybe try being less of a drunken idiot?
Sorceress
Come now, Master Tujen. The drink got in the way of your senses.
Warrior
Can’t see if you’re blind.
Mercenary
We can’t see everything all the time, mate.
Druid
Ale’s a friend one night, an enemy the next. Much like Kanu.
Tujen
Mm. Good point.

Why are you asking? Who sent you? Bugger off!
Ranger
What causes your paranoia?
Huntress
No one sent me, save the Spirit.
Monk
You speak with fear in your throat. What is the matter with you?
Witch
The King sent me. I’m here to torment you.
Sorceress
Why do you live in fear of him?
Warrior
No one {sent} me. Why do you fear him?
Mercenary
Oh, shite. Sounds like you’ve got a spot of trouble on your hands, huh?
Druid
Easy, wee fella. No one sent me.
Ye quake at his name - why?
Tujen
Not funny. Move on.
Tujen
None of your business. Move on.

Tujen
I’m not a tour guide. This here’s the harbour. Got an harbour concern? That’s me. For all other concerns… Best ask someone else!
Ranger
Short {and} sweet. Fair enough.
Huntress
Blimey. Thought we might be friends.
Monk
I see.
Witch
How rude! Wonderful.
Sorceress
Well… is this truly how you greet visitors, Master Tujen?
Warrior
Huh. Quite the welcome…
Mercenary
Jeez. That’s a bit impolite.
Druid
Och… yer welcome’s colder than the tide.
Tujen
Don’t take it personal. We got a lot of people comin’ and goin’ here. I lost count of all the ones that rubbed me the wrong way. Who knows? Maybe you’ll surprise me.

Tujen on Makoru
Tujen on Makoru
Tujen
Makoru’s got something to prove. Lucky for you, she’s got the talent to back it up. You won’t go wrong gettin’ on that ship. She’s been underestimated, by my people {and} her own.
Ranger
Her own discarded her?
Huntress
Why do you fear him?
Monk
The Karui are brutal.
Witch
Her tribe, I take it?
Sorceress
Her own people did not believe in her? Outrageous.
Warrior
The Karui?
Mercenary
They abandon her?
Druid
Not like the Karui to shun their own.
Tujen
Aye. She’s left ‘em behind, but she’s got her people’s spirit. I’m fond of the Karui. They value honour, and ancestral tales of bravery. Not just talk. For real. They live the way that us Kalguurans {claim} we do. They’re wild. And free.
Ranger
They underestimate her because they don’t understand her.
Huntress
I know how {that} feels.
Monk
Why do they underestimate her?
Witch
Why do her own people underestimate her? She seems strong.
Sorceress
I am confused. Why would they underestimate such a capable leader? She is a strong woman.
Warrior
Why do the Karui underestimate Makoru?
Mercenary
Why are they underestimating her then?
Druid
But why cast her aside, if she’s as strong as ye say?
Tujen
Oh, you know how it is, in times of change. The younger ones get ideas, and the older ones try to push ‘em back toward tradition. The Karui passionately follow what they call ‘the Way.’
Tujen
It fills my old heart to know she’s well again. I hope after all this, we’ve learned enough to find a better way forward with the Karui.
Ranger
Perhaps with mutual respect, you can work together.
Huntress
I believe you can do it. Work with ‘em. Build summat together.
Monk
If you can, put aside your differences and live in harmony.
Witch
Maybe now you can all just… get along?
Sorceress
I have experience in this… so listen to me now, it is better if you can work together. Build a future on the back of mutual respect.
Warrior
Kingsmarch and the Tukohama tribe must find a way to thrive together.
Mercenary
Leave the past in the past, mate. Move forward together.
Druid
A wound can knit, if ye let it.
So too with people.
Tujen
I look forward to that. Truly, I do.
Tujen
Makoru’s fallen ill! I can’t believe it. You’ve gotta do what you can to help her!
Ranger
Tavakai took her and said {he} would heal her.
Huntress
The Chieftain believes he can heal her.
Monk
Tavakai will heal her himself, or so he claims.
Witch
Tavakai seems to think he can do it himself. I have my doubts considering what a fool he’s been so far…
Sorceress
Tavakai said he’d heal her, the Karui way. Though, I am not sure what that means.
Warrior
Tavakai is certain he will do just that.
Mercenary
Tavakai reckons he can make her right again.
Druid
Tavakai says he’ll see to her. The Karui way.
Tujen
The man’s not in his right mind! Please… Just don’t let her die.
Ranger
I’ll try my best.
Huntress
She won’t die. Not if I can help it.
Monk
I’ll see what can be done.
Witch
Death isn’t always the end… But perhaps I can intervene.
Sorceress
I will redeem her. Do not worry.
Warrior
I’ll do what I can.
Mercenary
She’s been good to me. I’ll have a look into it.
Druid
I’ll not stand by and watch her fade.

Rumour has it your lookin’ for objects of grand importance. Should we be concerned?
Ranger
Rumours won’t help anyone.
Huntress
The world is at stake. That’s all that matters.
Monk
Yes. Be concerned.
Witch
Oh this thing is grand alright. And yes, you should be concerned.
Sorceress
I would not lie to you. Yes. It is quite concerning. But tell me… how do you know of this?
Warrior
It concerns the entire world. But what of these rumours?
Mercenary
Yeah, not gonna lie… Things are looking pretty rough.
Druid
I’ll not pretend things are fine and dandy.
But what’s this about rumours?

Nothing is a secret around here for long, see. At least, not to me. Just be careful. That’s all I ask.

Now there’s a true friend. Me and him have been on this campaign here in Wraeclast since the start of this little venture, when it was but a lodge and a dream. Next thing you know… well, it all got away from us… … and here we are, with a whole town somehow grown up around us.
Ranger
Time gets away from us.
Huntress
It’s remarkable how things can change before we know it.
Monk
You chose this life, Kalguuran.
Witch
Not everything grew up…
Sorceress
You should be proud. It seems you have done well for yourselves here.
Warrior
Any regrets?
Mercenary
Gettin’ old, mate?
Druid
Time reshapes all things, wee fella. Even us.
Tujen
I’m just now realisin’ I haven’t been on an expedition in… six bloody years! Time really is a cruel master.
Ranger
You need to get out of this harbour for a time.
Huntress
Join me on a hunt, Tujen!
Monk
Live your life - see where the Dreamer takes you.
Witch
Sounds like you’re itching for adventure… let’s get you back out there.
Sorceress
I cannot imagine! You’ve been cooped up here too long. You must join me for an adventure sometime.
Warrior
Maybe one day, you and I could venture out together.
Mercenary
Well… I’m sure I could use a hand sometime. How about it, mate?
Druid
Aye. It’s taken much from me, too.
But never too late for a new chapter.
Tujen
Stranger things have happened, I suppose.

Tujen on Tangmazu
Tujen
I shoulda known that wasn’t Freya Hartlin. Whatever it may have been, it gives me chills thinkin’ about it. So I don’t want to.
Ranger
That had to have been a god. The Black Crow… The gods have many names across Wraeclast, but the Ezomytes do not know his.
Huntress
He were a God. Tangmazu. A mortal turned divine by unknown means. Nothing like our sacred Spirit.
Monk
That was a being of supreme power. It must have been a god.
Witch
You’d rather not think of the God you saw? Oh, no. No one mention the god! Or the Kalguuran will lose his little mind.
Sorceress
The tale-women tell of a cowardly god of lies… not one of ours, but Azmeri. They called him the Raven.
Warrior
He was not a First One, but there was a Deceiver among those that came after… A Black Crow. An ancient God of lies.
Mercenary
I know, mate. We don’t have much of that nonsense back home neither.
Druid
He was meant to be dealt with. Locked away. But I know who that was.
The Raven Trickster. And I… the fool who freed him.
Tujen
Tell it to the skalds, will ya? I’d rather not know! Bugger off!
Ranger
Why are you being rude?
Huntress
I sense fear in ya. Why’s that?
Monk
It is what it is, you know. You can’t change reality.
Witch
Hmm. Did I mention that god you saw?
Sorceress
Please… what concerns you so deeply about this, Master Tujen?
Warrior
Why are you being so irate about this?
Mercenary
Calm down, will ya?
Druid
Fear’s no shame, lad. But you cannae will away a god by refusin’ to name it.
Tujen
It’s unnatural! Like a bloody curse. You all just go about your days like nothing’s wrong… Yet at any moment some almighty being could appear and cause mayhem! Like I said… it’s best not to even think about these ‘gods’ of yours.
Ranger
We can’t change the nature of things. Even that which disturbs us most.
Huntress
I’m sorry it worries ya so. But we saw what we saw.
Monk
The Dreamer will reveal all. Learn to trust your senses, Kalguuran.
Witch
It was… a… god.
Sorceress
We have to stand against beings like that. We can’t ignore them or they will rule us.
Warrior
That won’t stop the danger. They’re very real.
Mercenary
Stop runnin’ from the truth. Trust me, it’ll get ya in the end.
Druid
Best not to think? Aye… ‘til the shadow’s on your doorstep.
Then it’s too late.
Tujen
Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the twenty years we’ve been here, I’ve seen shite that’d knock your boots off. You know how I get through it? I {drink,} not {think}. You should try it sometime.

Well… he has a lot of confidence. I’ll give him that.

He is powerful. I am impressed with him.
Warrior
He’s strong. There is no doubt about it.
Mercenary
He’s someone to keep on your good side, I reckon…
Druid
He’s strong as an oak… and just as rigid.
Tujen
Hah! To be sure. I’ve two minds about him, though. On one hand, he’s fostering tradition, allowing it to thrive. Yet on the other… well. He can be a bit much.
Ranger
He loves his people. It cannot be easy what he is trying to do.
Huntress
He’s committed to his tribe, and it can’t be easy.
Monk
Hah! Subtle as the roaring tide.
Witch
Dedicating yourself to an idea… never seems to end well.
Sorceress
He pursues what he values. It is not a simple thing to do.
Warrior
Balancing your convictions is never easy.
Mercenary
Can’t be an easy gig.
Druid
Aye. Honour’s a heavy thing. It can steady a man… or sink him.
Tujen
Heh! You’re telling me.
Tujen
He’s stubborn, to say the least. But if he believes he’s the true {Ngakuramakoi…} he’ll think he’s the one to bring the Karui together.
FF0000
He betrayed us. He betrayed his own people.
FF0000
I know why he did it… but it doesn’t make it right.
FF0000
An odd way to go about it.
FF0000
Another leader… another power hungry moment of disgrace… oh, the drama.
FF0000
Either way, a fool he has been. The choices he has made have been… unfortunate to say the least.
FF0000
He has lost himself.
FF0000
The cheeky bugger.
FF0000
The way he’s goin’, he’s just as wont to tear ‘em apart.
Tujen
Sometimes our convictions make monsters of us. I hope there is a way to set all this right.

Tujen on The Way
Tujen on The Way
Ranger
What do you know about ‘The Way’?
Huntress
Tell me what you know of it. ‘The Way’.
Monk
Do you respect their ‘Way’, Kalguuran?
Witch
What’s all this ‘Way’ business?
Sorceress
What do you know of ‘The Way’?
Warrior
What do {you} make of ‘The Way’?
Mercenary
What do you think about that ‘Way’?
Druid
My memory’s mush. What d’ye know of this ‘Way’?
Tujen
Well, I dunno all the ins and outs of it, but it’s a kind of {code of honour}.
Ranger
So she is her own person and rejects this ‘Way’? I see no problem.
Huntress
So she rejects ‘The Way’ of her people? Tough path to take.
Monk
Makoru rejects her people’s traditions… Of course there would be consequences.
Witch
So… Makoru is a little upstart do-gooder that rejects tradition. How dull. I get it.
Sorceress
I see. So Makoru… she rejects ‘The Way’ of her people?
Warrior
And Makoru rejects ‘The Way’ of her tribe?
Mercenary
So she rejects it? I can relate. The Way reminds me of the damn Trarthan Code.
Druid
So it’s {she} who rejects {them}.
That’s no small thing.
Tujen
Reject is a strong word. You’d have to ask her. She forges her own path… kinda like we did coming here, to Wraeclast. I admire that.

Tujen on Black Scythes
Tujen on Black Scythes
Tujen
They were a group of mercenaries that accompanied the first expedition. Their founder, a particularly heroic warrior by the name of Vorana, shared ties to my bloodline.
Ranger
I’m listening.
Huntress
I see. A family matter.
Monk
Interesting.
Witch
Oh really? There’s more to the little one’s story!
Sorceress
Ah, so this is a matter of honour. Say no more. I understand.
Warrior
A search with personal meaning.
Mercenary
Oh, a fellow mercenary, eh?
Druid
Blood runs deep. No wonder ye seek her still.
Tujen
Used to think it might change something if I found out what happened to her. Now, I just want to finish this quest and be done with it. Been half my bloody life at this point.

Tujen on Vorana
Tujen on Vorana
Tujen
She was a fearsome and irrepressible warrior. Even defied Cadi - Oh, uh, His lordship the Third, and somehow won his respect for it. I like those who make their own way.
Ranger
Everyone {should} make their own way.
Huntress
What happened to her?
Monk
Impressive. What was her fate?
Witch
I’d like to meet this ‘Vorana.’
Sorceress
She sounds like a kindred spirit. Most intriguing.
Warrior
Walking alone isn’t always {our} choice…
Mercenary
Don’t we all.
Druid
What became o’ her?
Tujen
Her fate here on Wraeclast was unknown, but I have a feeling she’s still kicking about. A burning spirit like that never goes down without a legendary fight.

Tujen
The others have got their particular interests. I’m mainly here in search of an ancient rowdy gang called the Black Scythes. Gotta scratch up their relics and try to piece together what happened to ‘em.
