Dialogue
Heroes From Beyond
???: Do not get carried away, Etaos. Stay focused.
???: Calm your blade, Alz'ein. These two are clearly not of infernal make.
Nirios: Focus, Etaos. Our job is not yet done.
Nirios: Are you ready, Isiri?
The General's Arrival
Nirios: ...Alz'ein, I can tell something else is on your mind. Do you wish to share?
Nirios: Her mind burns... There can be no doubt.
Nirios: Wargoth is in control. On your guard everyone.
Nirios: That is sound logic.
The Puppet General
Nirios: I'm inclined to agree. The fire that twists her burns too brightly.
Nirios: It appears we were successful.
Nirios: Focus. We must make haste. The sun will not wait for pleasantries.
Nirios: Wargoth... The Infernal being our people are fleeing. The destroyer of our home planet, Somorah.
Nirios: I'm afraid that any more will have to wait until more comfortable settings. But you will have your answers, I promise.
A Brief Respite
Nirios: I promised answers. You shall have them.
Nirios: Wargoth lorded over Somorah. Forced our people into the shadows. Into darkness.
Nirios: But our salvation came in the form of Wargoth's very own son. With his help, we resisted.
Nirios: We overthrew Wargoth, and ended our enslavement.
Nirios: Indeed. We're lucky to have met you, <Character>.
Starlit Sandsea
Nirios: We'll make sure no one strays from the group.
Nirios: Isiri, if Atrea is here, then that means—
Nirios: ...Indeed.
Welcome to Atrea!
Nirios: But—
Nirios: ...Of course. You are correct, brother.
Nirios: Isiri, contact us if we are needed for any more... serious matters.
Nirios: Just... and I'm sure, as heroes, you don't need to be reminded of this, please be respectful.
Nirios: Our people have been through a lot, as has the city. This is a time of mourning, not celebration.
Nirios: Thank you.
Nirios: ...Look, up there. That ring floating above the city is the Lens. It protects the Ateala living here from the sunlight of this planet.
Nirios: Back on Somorah we had no use for it after the darkness fell. It became a training center for Cryptics such as Etaos and I.
Nirios: We should be up there, helping.
Nirios: No, no. It's just that after everything that has happened recently, I find it difficult to lower my guard.
Nirios: ...Onward, then.
Nirios: In the center of the city is The Spire. As Atrea was the capital of Somorah, naturally, our Empress resides there, along with a trusted few.
Nirios: Do not worry. Unael such as Isiri and I can communicate with her when necessary. The Empress is present, even when unseen.
Nirios: Wait— is that—
Nirios: Yolande! Yolande! Over here!
Nirios: It is good to see you well, Yolande. I expected you would still be in the city, but I was still worried nonetheless.
Nirios: Er. Right. I apologize for my manners. Yolande, this is <Character> and <Dragon>.
Nirios: They are heroes from this world, and they helped rescue many Ateala from Wargoth's attack.
Nirios: ...
Nirios: You three go on ahead first. I still have some matters to discuss with Yolande.
The Lost Ateala
Nirios: Still, remember, Isiri, Atrea's defense is our highest priority.
Nirios: If Veyla is succumbing to Wargoth's influence again, that can only mean one thing.
Nirios: Atrea has defenses as well. The Empress can ensure rifts do not appear within the boundaries of the city.
Nirios: Etaos, take a cloak, and go to those allies <Character> mentioned. You will have to travel through the day, so take care.
Nirios: Alz'ein...
Nirios: Atrea's defense comes first. If Isiri must turn her focus elsewhere, then Veyla...
Rising Fire (Intro)
Nirios: Sorry to interrupt. Etaos and <Dragon> have returned.
Nirios: I have underestimated you yet again, <Character>.
Nirios: There are those who would proudly proclaim their status as hero, yet have no allies or deeds to show for it.
Nirios: You and <Dragon> are clearly capable and proven.
Nirios: It's begun.
After Alz'ein!
Nirios: No. She has left. I already looked everywhere with Yolande and her contacts.
Nirios: There's been no trace of her. As a Riftwalker, I imagine she... found her own way out of the city.
Nirios: Veyla could be anywhere, now. Not even on this planet.
Nirios: That's a good point, <Character>.
Nirios: We must go after her. Alz'ein cannot be allowed to fall into Wargoth's clutches like Veyla.
Nirios: And if we find the Professor, all the better.
Nirios: I'll go with you, <Character>. Etaos, stay with Isiri, and assist with the clean up. Keep me updated if anything happens.
Nirios: I don't know, but you were right about Popsprocket. We've caught up to Alz'ein!
Nirios: Alz'ein, we bring urgent news. Wargoth has—
Nirios: Now that we've resolved the situation, Alz'ein, you should know that Wargoth has arrived on Lore.
Nirios: Alz'ein.
Nirios: What matters for now is that you're safe, Alz'ein.
Nirios: You'd be no use to Veyla if you got yourself captured by Wargoth.
Nirios: I agree. Against a foe such as Wargoth, we need any allies we can get.
The Spire
Nirios: Your mind is strong...but you can still be overpowered. We have to fix that.
Who are you?
Nirios: I'm Nirios A'ravi, Etaos' brother. I'm the one keeping the Black Prism above Atrea, engulfing the city in everlasting night.
Nirios: I'm also an information broker, and one of the unaels.
Ask about Unaels
Nirios: We are the "Chosen Ones", known as unaels. On our home world, when one of our people was respected by the community...
Nirios: ...fulfilled his destiny or had a great power within himself, he becamed the Unael.
Nirios: Then ascendants performed a ritual to "ascend" his very existence. Then he could either become one with The Empress...
Nirios: ...or materialize one of the zodiac signs and descend back onto Somoroah.
Nirios: If he chose to descend, the zodiac sign he took became his weapon. If you wish to speak to the ascended ones...
Nirios: ...you have to go to The Empress' chambers.
The Empress?
Nirios: She is the voice of the atealans. She is a nation within one being. She is the Ayar Lat'quah. She is The Empress.
The Empress
Nirios: I can't hold the barriers much longer. The only saving grace is that I don't have to shield Atrea and keep the black prism afloat.
Nirios: We meet again.
Nirios: Acknowledged.
Song of the Ateala
Nirios: A simple conversation will not be too taxing.
Nirios: It is. It is the Song of the Ateala— the history of our people, from the very beginning, to the present.
Nirios: Indeed. It is a great honor, and one that reminds us that our actions will be heard by generations to come.
Nirios: Perhaps in full. However, it is common for any Ateala to learn the relevant passages related to their family and profession.
Nirios: Fight well, <Character>.
Arrival of the Vind
Nirios: Much appreciated.
Nirios: It is not our place to agree to promise aid.
Nirios: The Empress must be consulted in any future endeavors. However, we will do our best to plead your case.
Song in Our Hearts
Nirios: Please don't fraternize with the enemy, <Character>.
Nirios: Correct. My brother and I are ready. We shall bring this beast down to your level.
Nirios: We will subdue the creature. It will be temporary, and the barrier will fall while the monster is held down.
Nirios: For The Empress!
Nirios: Ayar Lat'quah!
Nirios: She remains but is not... herself?
Nirios: Yet she is.
Nirios: She has withdrawn, of sorts. Reverted? It is hard to describe what I am sensing.
Nirios: I feel the loss of many. But not loss. Freedom? But they were not chained.
Nirios: Or her tears begin to fall.
