Rose Soldier: What is your business in Swordhaven, traveler? Knight: Wait, isn't that— Rose Soldier: Not now. I asked you a question, traveler! <Character>: Um. I'm just exploring. Rose Soldier: Exploring, <he/she/they> says! Dressed like that? Rose Soldier: And your name? <Character>: To be quite honest, I don't think I'm comfortable giving you that information— Rose Soldier: Your. Name. Knight: Now, now, <he seems/she seems/they seem> like a perfectly upstanding <Class>. I'm sure there's no reason to— Rose Soldier: I would thank you for not questioning my authority in front of the perpetrator! <Character>: Perpetrator?! Rose Soldier: Don't you get indignant with me! I say whether you can get into the city or not! Rose Soldier: Without my approval, you're not getting past these gates! The safety of the city is in my hands! <Character>: ... Rose Soldier: You seem awfully... guilty about something. What did you say your name was, again? <Character>: You know what, I don't have to put up with this. I've done nothing wrong! Rose Soldier: Oh, you're going to be like that, huh? That's it, I'm going to get my supervisor! And... and backup! Rose Soldier: You're in for it now, just you wait! *After the Rose Soldier leaves, you turn around and ask the Swordhaven Knight to enter Swordhaven.* <Character>: ... Knight: ... <Character>: So... Can I enter the city? Knight: Yeah, you're good to go. <Character>: What about that uh, Rose guy? Knight: Oh, don't worry about him, he'll be replaced by the end of the week, I bet. Knight: Fourth Rose partner I've gone through this month. Something about the posting just attracts a very... Knight: A very power-hungry personality. <Character>: I don't envy your job. Knight: It's not so bad. Besides, The Rose higher-ups thankfully have little tolerance for these kinds of... problems. Knight: At least, when they get pestered by them. Knight: ...I'm sure there's a lot that goes unreported. <Character>: ...Right. <Character>: I'll be going now. Thanks. Knight: No problem. Welcome to Swordhaven, <Character>. When entering Swordhaven (Book 3) after completion of A Day for Farewells: <Character>: Well, here we are, <Dragon>! Swordhaven. <Character>: Now we just have to find Jaania. <Dragon>: ...People are staring at me... | *Uncomfortable grumble...* <Character>: They're... They're just in awe of your awesomeness! <Dragon>: ... <Dragon>: Yeah! You're right! | *Confident chirp!* <Dragon>: They've never seen a dragon as impressive as me! | *Proud growl!* <Character>: Where to start... *You look at the Ivory Tower.* <Character>: That big Rose-themed tower seems like a promising lead! <Character>: You can ride in my backpack if you want, <Dragon>. Might help us avoid unwanted attention. <Dragon>: Yes please. There's a lot of people, please. It's making me nervous. Please. | *Long string of awkward mumbling rumbles and growls.* <Character>: Right! In you go! <Character>: Let's see what Swordhaven has to offer! When approaching Guard Captain and Knight thereafter: Guard Captain: Welcome to Swordhaven, <Character>. As long you keep the peace, no one should bother you. Knight: <Character>, yes. You're welcome to enter but know that fighting and unauthorized spells are not allowed inside the city walls. Plaza Section Fountains Area Jema: No.... noooo. That's crazy! You can't expect me to believe that! Knight: Your own father and sister were lost when Xan took out King Alteon's Elite Knights... Knight: Then you had to fight their remains when Sepulchure's four Necromancers attacked. Knight: A gigantic dragon ate the Sun. Knight: But a giant spell-flinging ogre covered in bark is too crazy for you? I'm telling you, I know what I saw! Jema: That berserk knight in Oaklore forest has hit you on the head too many times! When approaching the left fountain before completion of Unbound: Pop-up: Maybe you should find the library? After completion of Unbound: Circe: Oh, <Character>... it's always so nice to see you... Circe: ... and if you blow my cover and I'll hunt you to the ends of Lore... Talk <Character>: Circe. Circe: <Character>. <Character>: Ummm... do we talk about the weather or books or something.... or are you just gonna stand there and check me out? Circe: I hate you... so... much.... Quests Circe: Ah. <Character>. My favorite co-conspirator. What can I do for you today?- Unbound
Circe: You still have the library to finish straightening up, too. - Start Quest! - begins Unbound quest.
- The Beast
Circe: If you blow my cover while you're in the Ivory Tower I will find you and I will end you. - Timelines - begins Timelines quest.
- Tournament (Pt 1)
Circe: Let's get you signed up for the Tournament of Champions. The posting should be just over there... - Tournament (Pt 2)
Circe: Yes, yes, you won a couple fights, very impressive. Now get back in there before your next match! Heal & potions - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions. Gate Knight (1): The court of King Alteon is off-limits. Do not attempt to climb the wall. Knight (2): Jim... I'm telling you... the cheese trader, next time he comes... you have to go check it out. It's like moldy socks and Knight's Inn mixed together.... Knight (1): ... Salet: It can't... it can't be that bad. Knight (1): Don't encourage him, Salet. Just... just don't. After completion of The Golden Hand and being directed to Swordhaven by Kara SuLema: Knight (1): You still don't have permission to climb over the wall, <Character>. Approach the gate if you wish to enter. If you approach the gate: Knight (1): Queen Victoria is expecting you, <Character>. You may proceed. To Queen Victoria - teleports you to Swordhaven Castle. Near the Library Nightly: Hmm... are you really <Character>? Nightly: Stories of your deeds are what inspired me to finally pick up a sword. Nightly: After everything I've seen, though... the necromancers and the dragonfire... the bandits and the warlords... Nightly: I'm glad to finally be in a place where some semblance of peace reigns. Grandiflora: Hail, <Character>... Hmm? Grandiflora: ...Could I have a moment with you? Talk - Who...?
<Character>: You're with The Rose. Grandiflora: I am. Commander Grandiflora at your service. I need your help. <Character>: What for? Grandiflora: It's my men... Some of them have gone missing. Grandiflora: They and I were tasked with quelling the riots that recently started popping up in the Branden Quarter... Grandiflora: ...but things turned sour after we chased and confronted the main group responsible. Grandiflora: I am not sure how, but despite the fact that my men are well-trained and well-equipped... Grandiflora: ...the rioters managed to give them a rough time. Enough to wound several of them. Grandiflora: We had to fall back to recoup our position. As we made it out though, I realized that several members of my troops... had disappeared. Grandiflora: I am afraid that they got themselves lost somewhere along the way in the labyrinthine alleyways the area is notorious for. Grandiflora: I need to go back and find my men.... They've put their faith in me as their commander and I have no intention of letting them down. Grandiflora: I can't do it alone however. Will you help me find them? - Poverty
Grandiflora: It's no secret to anyone. The Branden Quarter has almost always been the most impoverished section of Swordhaven. Grandiflora: Historically, it's been like that. Grandiflora: But the conflicts in recent years have aggravated the situation to a point as the least well-to-do refugees... Grandiflora: ...naturally gravitate towards Branden. Grandiflora: King Alteon has been kind enough to direct the excess bounty of the harvest each year towards them... Grandiflora: However, even that is beginning to stretch thin. Grandiflora: They have had to start rationing the surplus in order to supply every single impoverished citizen something... Grandiflora: ... and it is breeding some discontent. Grandiflora: Still... I find it strange that it would escalate like this. <Character>: Maybe they're just fed up with seeing the High Court and Rose Elite getting all the nice meals while they struggle to even get by? Grandiflora: Maybe... - Lost
Grandiflora: Branden is infamous for... is its poor housing situation. Grandiflora: As the downtrodden have long lived and resided there, improvised dwellings, one on top of the other... Grandiflora: ...have engineered over time the organized chaos of the Branden Quarter. Grandiflora: You can imagine what that means. The last civil engineer of the Court that tried to map Branden was jailed for arson. Grandiflora: I hear he spends his days muttering about bear heads and killer rabbits... Grandiflora: ...and constantly harasses the jail guards demanding holey grenades to protect himself. Grandiflora: Went far off the deep end that one... Grandiflora: But even the citizens of Branden have a hard time finding their way around sometimes. Grandiflora: And of course, all that makes it even more difficult to deal with and root out the rioters. - Citizens - complete North Sneevil to unlock this option.
<Character>: Didn't a number of people try to clobber us while we ran through the nearby alleys in the last two runs? Weren't those rioters? Grandiflora: No, those are normal citizens.... The rioters themselves are armed and these people weren't. <Character>: ...Why did they attack us? Grandiflora: The rioters aren't the only ones unhappy about the situation in Branden. They are just the ones who have decided to take to... more violent actions. <Character>: Doesn't that worry the Rose or King Alteon? That practically everyone in at least a part of the city is like this? Grandiflora: I'm not sure if the King has been briefed on the full scale of the situation... Grandiflora: As I've mentioned before, the King already does do something for the impoverished citizens of Branden. Grandiflora: The riots themselves have still only recently started happening and... Grandiflora: ... this is still the responsibility of the military branch of The Rose at the moment. <Character>: But it's clearly not enough. Grandiflora: I am not sure... It seems strange the citizens of fair Swordhaven would come to this so easily. <Character>: I don't really think there's anything strange about it... <Character>: ... If people are starting to starve, isn't it perfectly natural for them to be angry about it and react like? Grandiflora: I don't disagree.... I just find it a bit strange in this case. - Old Friend - complete Creepy Crawlies to unlock this option.
<Character>: You mentioned an old friend back there for a moment... Grandiflora: Hmm? Oh, that? Grandiflora: It's really nothing much. Years ago when I joined the Rose I fell into a camaraderie with another greenhorn... Grandiflora: Both of us were rascals in our own ways so we got along like two desert bandits in a crowded Sandsea market. <Character>: That sounds nice! Do you still see him around? Grandiflora: Well, we sort of went our separate ways after we completed our first deployment and rose to the rank of officers. Grandiflora: A pretty common sight back then when the Rose was as fresh as a spring blossom. Grandiflora: I haven't really seen him since although I hear he's made pretty well for himself. <Character>: Well, if you still think about him now, he sure must be fun to hang around with! Grandiflora: I wouldn't go that far. He's... particular. Grandiflora: Like a well-aged barrel of juice: a bold character that some appreciate and turns off others. Grandiflora: He's definitely not for everyone to like, but he was a good friend to me. - Grateful - complete Creepy Crawlies to unlock this option.
<Character>: Hey... Grandiflora: Something the matter, Hero? <Character>: I... just wanted to thank you again for giving me that equipment. I appreciate it. Really. Grandiflora: Oh. Of course. Grandiflora: Granted I don't exactly know how much use it'll actually be for you... Grandiflora: I imagine a Hero of your caliber must have received rewards that these pale in comparison to. <Character>: Trust me... It's definitely better than what some people do. <Character>: Help me! Help me, <Character>! <Character>: A wizard sneezed at my chickens and they acquired sentience and are plotting world domination! <Character>: Uhm... They're still chickens? Can't you just cook them up for dinner or something? <Character>: ....Actually, now that I think about it, that's a great idea! Thanks! <Character>: You're a true hero, <Character>! Why, I can get two birds with one stone this way! <Character>: Well, if I were you, I'd cook up all five birds but.... <Character>: Some days I don't know whether I'm the Hero of Falconreach or an Odd Jobs busboy.... <Character>: Although I did get a nice piece of that chicken roast I guess. Grandiflora: Hahaha! Well, that sure sounds like a peculiar story alright... <Character>: Oh, trust me. I have DOZENS of stories where that came from. Grandiflora: Unfortunately, this isn't really the time or the place. Grandiflora: Hmmm... Grandiflora: However, I do know an Inn near the Barracks that puts some pretty good juice on the table... Grandiflora: How about this: if you're up for it later, I could show you there. Grandiflora: If you consider a good mug of juice for a story a fair trade, of course. <Character>: I... might take you up on that. <Character>: Might. - Mementos - complete The Bizarre Bazaar to unlock this option.
<Character>: So, who was this Lansezeur guy and this compass of his? Grandiflora: Lansezeur is one of the soldiers in my platoon that went missing. Grandiflora: This compass in particular is the one he'd take with him wherever he would go. <Character>: Did it have any particular meaning to him? Grandiflora: I wouldn't exactly know... Grandiflora: Lansezeur's the type that was nice and got along pretty easily with everyone else. Grandiflora: Doesn't stand out too much. Never goes out of the way to talk about his own personal things. Grandiflora: Or perhaps didn't want Grandiflora: What I know is Lansezeur was taught how to make engravings by his grandfather. Grandiflora: I've seen him before: when he hadn't too much on his plate, he'd grab pieces of wood with nice, flat surfaces... Grandiflora: ...and then, he'd take out several burins of different sizes out of a pouch and start scrapping at the wood leisurely. Grandiflora: Said the superb Rose ornaments on his compass are something he made himself. Grandiflora: I'd believe him if even not having seen him do it himself... The guy definitely has a knack and talent for it. <Character>: Yeah, I have to admit. They are really pretty. Grandiflora: They are. Grandiflora: Still... I don't know why he likes that compass so much. Grandiflora: If you ask me, Lansezeur was one of the ones that could do with opening up with the rest of the crew a bit more. Grandiflora: I know it's not possible with everyone, but I like to try and get all my men to talk to each other. Grandiflora: Get a feel for the rest of the group and feel like they have someone to talk to and maybe a second home in their squad. Grandiflora: At the end of the day, our duty is a team effort. Can't get around that... <Character>: And Carrel's ring? Grandiflora: Oh yes. I know Carrel... Grandiflora: *exasperated sigh* Grandiflora: Carrel is one of the younger soldiers... Grandiflora: He has a little sister that lives out in the countryside and this is the ring she gave him when he left home to join the Rose. Grandiflora: I know because I'd catch him writing letters to send her all the time right when the patrol was supposed to head out! Grandiflora: *grumbles* Grandiflora: But he's a very good kid... with a heart to match. Grandiflora: The reason he sends letters and little gifts to his sister all the time is because she can't walk. <Character>: ...She can't walk? Grandiflora: That's right. Her health's too poor for it. Grandiflora: Back in the country, she likes to sit on a chair on the porch and that way she'd be just fine... Grandiflora: But getting up and walking around for more than a minute takes too much effort out of her. <Character>: That's awful... Grandiflora: Isn't it? Grandiflora: It doesn't sound like it's discouraged her though. Carrel told me she loves to see everything there is to see. Grandiflora: Fields, forests, landscapes, towns... Grandiflora: *chuckle* Back home, he said he'd take her piggybacking around all the time. Grandiflora: And one day, she wants to be able to walk around and see the Capital of the Kingdom of Greenguard herself. <Character>: *smile* I hope her dream comes true! Grandiflora: So do I, <Character>. So do I. - Mori - complete The Bizarre Bazaar to unlock this option.
<Character>: Both of your guys sound like they're pretty swell in their own ways. <Character>: You can certainly be proud to be their Commander! Grandiflora: I am and they really are. Grandiflora: ... <Character>: Something wrong? You look... pretty pale all of sudden. Grandiflora: I...I'm worried... Grandiflora: Because we found each of their mementos, but not Lansezeur or Carrel themselves... Grandiflora: From what I've told you, you can hazard to guess neither of them would never be caught without carrying them around. Grandiflora: ... Grandiflora: It's like you say: these are my men I am responsible for as their Commander. Grandiflora: It keeps me up a night and I am horribly afraid. Grandiflora: ... Grandiflora: I can't imagine if I had to go pay visit their families and tell them that... <Character>: ... <Character>: Whoa! Whoa! Whooooa! <Character>: Come on, Grandi! Don't go there! We'll find your guys just fine! Grandiflora: ...Grandi? <Character>: ... That just came out like that! <Character>: Sorry! I didn't mean be disrespectful, Commander! Grandiflora: *soft chuckling* Grandiflora: ...Well, how about that? I haven't been called Grandi since before I was promoted! <Character>: Oh! Grandiflora: *smiles* Well, that sure cheered me up a bit. Thanks for that, <Character>. <Character>: All in a day's work for the Hero of Falconreach! Grandiflora: Yes. I think I'm starting to see that... <Character>: Oh? And what do you mean by that? Grandiflora: That you're not appreciated as a Hero just because you go around saving the world all the time. <Character>: I'm not? Grandiflora: No. <Character>: Then why I am considered a Hero? Grandiflora: Hmm... Grandiflora: Well, there isn't always a world ending threat looming over Lore's head to take care of last I checked... <Character>: ... <Character>: As the Hero of Falconreach, I question that line of thinking... Grandiflora: Well, people aren't exactly expecting the sky to fall on their heads every day, are they? Grandiflora: Typically, most of them are just going about their daily lives and struggles whether here in the Capital or elsewhere. Grandiflora: Helping kids get back their ball, an old woman trying to get something done... Grandiflora: ...around the house that's made difficult by her old age or a senior soldier just taking a hit to his morale. Grandiflora: You've helped scores of citizens with rather trivial tasks... but they still see you as a Hero for it! Grandiflora: And I'd guess it because being a Hero is just as much about taking care of a world destroying abomination... Grandiflora: ...than taking care of deranged chickens! Ha Ha Ha! <Character>: ... <Character>: Well, what can I say, Commander? You've got this Hero all figured out! Grandiflora: Save those red cheeks. You aren't swimming in all the antioxidants from the juice at the Inn yet! <Character>: Pffff. <Character>: Fiiiine. Have it your way! <Character>: But only because you're so pushy! Grandiflora: I don't have to be pushy to have some good stories to listen to along with that juice, do I? <Character>: Oh, no. There'll be plenty of those all right. Just you wait... Quests - North Sneevil
<Character>: What's the plan? Grandiflora: My troops were cornered into the small and tortuous alleys off one of the main roads. Grandiflora: I guess that was my first mistake and just the chance the rioters were looking for to level the playing field. Grandiflora: Although they still shouldn't have caused as much trouble for my soldiers... but that's another matter. Grandiflora: The best plan would be to go as an elite, small, fast moving unit able to get in and out quickly. Grandiflora: In other words, just the two of us. Grandiflora: Branden isn't exactly the safest place, especially at the moment. Grandiflora: It's unfortunate to say that of any places in Swordhaven, even Branden, but it's the truth. Grandiflora: The quicker we can get in and out with the ones that were left behind, the better. <Character>: All right. And how do we get in? Grandiflora: The eastern side of Dragon Alley is where we came in, but the rioters are likely to be keeping an eye on that now. Grandiflora: Dragon Alley runs east by west though and it isn't the only big road through Branden. Grandiflora: There's also The Running Sneevil Boulevard which goes north by south. Grandiflora: So that gives us two points of entry: from the north and from the south. Grandiflora: I suggest we try north first and investigate the alleys immediately to the east from there. Grandiflora: Any questions? <Character>: Nope. Grandiflora: Good. Then let's head in. - A Second Look
Grandiflora: Dead end and not one soldier in sight. Grandiflora: Kyanos' icy breath.... Well, at the very least we didn't run into any rioters. <Character>: Time for the south entrance? Grandiflora: I'm still not convinced there's nothing to find by the northeastern side... Grandiflora: We didn't catch the attention of the rioters so the North entrance is clear still. Grandiflora: I suggest we go back and try pushing deeper. Grandiflora: Let's head back to the Northern entry point and run down farther into Branden before checking out the alleyways to the East. Grandiflora: Let's hope we come up with something solid this time. - Creepy Crawlies
Grandiflora: Blast! Still nothing... Grandiflora: Well, I guess we should try the southern entrance then... Grandiflora: *sigh* This would be going quite differently if he were here I imagine. <Character>: He? Who's he? Grandiflora: Ah, sorry. I probably shouldn't be rambling on about my junior years at a time like this. Grandiflora: Let's keep the pace going and head to the southern part of the Quarter. Grandiflora: Alley Creepers infests the place so we'll have to be wary of those this time. <Character>: Alley Creepers? Grandiflora: The spiders that make their nest in narrow and dark alleys. <Character>: Are they really that bad? Grandiflora: If you come across the big ones, it sure can be. One of my men on a previous patrol got jumped by one. Grandiflora: They say some years ago a Darkness Giant refugee brought its pet with them to the Quarter... Grandiflora: ...and it stuck around after they were chased out which is why they get so big. Grandiflora: But I've never seen or heard tell of Darkness Giants before.. It sounds like just a wild story to me. Grandiflora: The point remains that they can become pretty big so we should be careful of any dark alleys we come by. <Character>: Hmm... Interesting. I see. Grandiflora: All right. Let's get this one done and over with before the sun sets. - Bizarre Bazaar
Grandiflora: Lansezeur... Grandiflora: Finally... A physical trace of them. <Character>: Yeah, but we still don't know where they might be. Grandiflora: That's true, but I think I know where to look next... <Character>: Oh? And where's that? Grandiflora: We actually came through that area when we were falling back and running from the rioters... Grandiflora: I remember now. Lansezeur brought to my attention the presence of a run down open market and we decided to run through it. <Character>: Why? Grandiflora: We thought we'd cross Dragon Alley that way... <Character>: ...You thought you'd cross dragonally? <Character>: What is that, some sort of weird military formation? Grandiflora: What? Grandiflora: No, no! I mean Dragon Alley as in one of the two arteries through Branden! <Character>: Oh, right. Sorry! I'm bad at hearing directions sometimes! <Character>: Comes with the territory of running and chasing after things all the time and not having the time to get everything straight right away... Grandiflora: That sounds like a sure fire way to end up in a dark alley... Grandiflora: Either way, as you can figure, it was never the right path we hoped to find... Grandiflora: However, all things said, that strange bazaar was one of the places we ran through before my men disappeared... Grandiflora: I remember feeling something was off about it when we passed through all those stalls. Grandiflora: Rancid or stale food sitting on the stalls unattended, almost no merchant around selling their wares... Grandiflora: It isn't much to go on, but my instinct tells me we might find something there. <Character>: Sounds good to me! Grandiflora: Indeed. I... Grandiflora: ... <Character>: What? Is something wrong? <Character>: You look a bit pale all of sudden. Grandiflora: ...It's nothing. Just a bit fatigued. Grandiflora: A bit of running will fix me right up! <Character>: If you say so. Grandiflora: Let's keep going. I... think we're starting to get closer if only just. Grandiflora: Let's see what the bizarre bazaar has in store. Rose Armoury - complete Creepy Crawlies to unlock this option. Grandiflora: Listen, <Character>. I've already heard... <Character>: ... About what? Grandiflora: The terms you've been on with some of the other members of The Rose... <Character>: Look... there's no point in arguing with me on that. <Character>: I'm not going to change my m- Grandiflora: I had a talk with my Quartermaster and she's agreed to let you have some equipment supplies. Grandiflora: This is equipment that would be kept in reserve for Rose personnel normally. Grandiflora: I'm hoping that by giving you this, you might take it as proof... Grandiflora: ... that I do really appreciate your voluntary effort and that my intentions are genuine. <Character>: Oh... Well, thanks for that. Grandiflora: Glad too. I promise I won't treat the help you're giving as some sort of right I have because you're a Hero. Grandiflora: I'll make sure you're compensated talk to the Quartermaster again the next time you help me as well. Heal & potions - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions. When entering the library before talking to Ahimsa and Tipu for the first time: Pop-up: The door to the Library appears to be locked. Maybe you should stop by after visiting the Ivory Tower. Librarian: The library isn't open. Librarian: I'm trying to make sense of this mess... I do not get paid enough for this. Unbound - begins Unbound quest. Near the Inn Knight: Is the Countess Elizabeth happy with her and her friends' accommodations? Iris: Yes sir, Mr. Knight. Although, they're a very strange group.... One of the ladies keeps talking about the stitching on the mattresses... Knight: They've booked all the rooms and are staying indefinitely. We can get them some new mattresses! Blacksmith Shop Anders: Hey there, <Class>. Are you picking up an order or do you need something made? Rose Defender - opens Rose Defender shop. Hero Defender - opens Hero Defender shop. Beside the Blacksmith Shop Tim the Barbarian: I mean really, all things considered, lamentations are great and all but my heart really wasn't in it. Tim the Barbarian: I've always wanted to raise horses, ride over the hills, feel the wind through my helm.... Kakyuu: They don't have ranches where you're from? Tim the Barbarian: Well, it's better to not get attached to anything that's going to be sacrificed to the giant carnivorous snake gods. Kakyuu: Ah, I understand. I once dreamed of being an apprentice to one of the great Mages but, well... Kakyuu: After his last apprentice killed him, then he came back, then he went crazy, then he got better, then he got imprisoned... I had to give up on that dream. Karika and Liant Karika: I'm telling you, I've gone through it at least fifty times. Anything that crawled, flew, slithered, or skittered got squashed. Liant: You know the stream of bugs is never ending. Celesa and Mehphisto Celesa: Are you sure? Mehphisto: I'm getting to be too old to try and sneak through those old ruins! The Ivory Tower When approaching Ahimsa and Tipu for the first time: Tipu: Proceed no further. The Ivory Tower is sealed to you, <Class>. You may only enter by the grace of the ArchMagus. Talk - accessible after completion of A Day for Farewells. Ahimsa: What do you want, <Character>? <Character>: Well... apparently, you know who I am. Who are you? Tipu: We are the thorns of the ArchMagus. Ahimsa: We are Lady Jaania's personal guard. I am known as Ahimsa in The Rose and this is my sister, Tipu. <Character>: Can I enter the tower? I need to speak to Jaania. Tipu: You wish to speak with the ArchMagus? In person? Leave our presence before I cannot contain my laughter. Ahimsa: Sister, it is <Character>. I imagine <he has/she has/they have> has many questions. Ahimsa: No one knew when, or if, you'd show up, <Character>, and Lady Jaania has her own quests to complete. <Character>: I thought you were her personal guard? Tipu: And we are there when the ArchMagus needs us. Ahimsa: Lady Jaania is capable of defending herself, as you know. There are times when she can't, or doesn't want to, be on guard though. Ahimsa: Where she is now, we— Tipu: She will find you when she is ready. <Character>: ... <Character>: You don't understand. This is incredibly urgent! It concerns the Vind, and General Akanthus and— Ahimsa: If it were so urgent, Lady Jaania would know about it already. Tipu: As it is now, we will not suffer you to enter the Ivory Tower. Ahimsa: Why not enjoy the city? Ahimsa: Look around and explore. Discover the prosperity and peace that The Rose has brought to Greenguard. Tipu: Why not visit the library? The records there may well assist in your... education of The Rose's endeavors. <Character>: The Library. <Character>: Okay. Sure. I'll see if I can find it.

You may only enter by the grace of the ArchMagus. Talk <Character>: Tipu. Ahimsa. Tipu: <Class>., Ahimsa: <Character>. <Character>: I have a question, if it isn't too personal. Why do you serve Jaania? Tipu: A personal question, indeed. Deserving of an answer we are proud to share. Tipu: You've saved your corner of the world- Greenguard- countless times. We fight for that same chance. Ahimsa: My sister and I are the last of our people... we've been the last for years. We were supposed to be heroes and, instead, we became survivors. Ahimsa: In a single day we lost our families, our home, and... and... Tipu: Sister... <Character>: I understand that you've lost more than anyone should ever have to... but... Tipu: Stop. No buts. Your "heroics" have caused far greater harm than you can imagine. Tipu: And if you could you would do it all again in a heartbeat for any of the singular friends you haven't been able to save. Tipu: And you still have the bond we lost. Ahimsa: Sister... I'm sure <Character> has other places to be. Ahimsa: Be well, <Character>. We will inform Lady Jaania of your visit.
