*He stares into your soul.*
Stoneheart Fall (Books 1 and 2)
True Mortal: ...
Talk
True Mortal: I am many things. Most do not concern you. Let us say, I am a Guardian of mankind. You may call me True Mortal.
True Mortal: I keep that which should not be in this world imprisoned.
True Mortal: Yes. And it is my duty to ensure that the spirit doesn't escape.
True Mortal?
True Mortal: Over a thousand years ago, I was known as Letalis. Events... transpired that caused me to take on the name True Mortal.
True Mortal: It was something of an irony as you no doubt understand.
True Mortal: For more than two thousand years, I have stood vigil, keeping my prisoner held.
True Mortal: It is my duty as a spirit warden to ensure that the prisoner remains held. By keeping my prisoner at bay, I can ensure the safety of Lore.
Spirit Warden?
True Mortal: A Spirit Warden is like a jailer.
True Mortal: It is the duty of the spirit warden to be sure that when a spirit turns evil, and threatens one or more worlds, that it be imprisoned...
True Mortal: ..And not allowed to escape.
True Mortal: If the spirit DOES escape, it is the duty of the Spirit Warden to track the spirit down wherever it may be hiding and re-imprison it.
True Mortal: This becomes the imperative duty of the Spirit Warden.
True Mortal: Of course, this isn't ALL a spirit warden does.
True Mortal: By looking into the spirit of a being, whether human or not, a spirit warden can see the wounds that are not of body, but of spirit, and can heal those internal wounds.
True Mortal: Well, most of the time anyway.
True Mortal: In my particular case, I must also stand guard at this portal and defend it from any who may try to pass with harmful intent.
True Mortal: It is why I stay here. Besides, I like the quiet, and out here, Thorn may hunt at his leisure.
Portal?
True Mortal: The portal beside me leads to another portal. There are a total of five that are connected.
True Mortal: Each portal is somewhere on Lore, and is guarded by creatures who are given the power to defend their respective gates.
True Mortal: I have lost contact with the other guardians, but it shouldn't be a problem, since to get to any gate, one must first pass through this one.
True Mortal: To gain access to the gates, they must be passed through in a specific order.
True Mortal: Any of the guardians alone should be enough to deter those who mean ill...
True Mortal: ..But to bypass or defeat all five guardians would require remarkable strength.
Thorn?
True Mortal: Thorn is my spirit companion.
True Mortal: Immortality has its disadvantages. It is possible, through the power of the spirit warden, to share life force.
True Mortal: The reason for doing so is simple. Everyone needs a companion to share in triumphs and failures.
True Mortal: In this case, Thorn, who came to my aid two millennia ago has become my companion.
True Mortal: His becoming my companion was something of an accident, but I am grateful that it happened, and would change nothing.
True Mortal: I have since learned control of my power, but in those early years, it was good to have Thorn there to help me.
True Mortal: He is extremely intelligent, and a good companion.

- House Items Dragon Coin Shop - opens Purple shop.

New Horizon
True Mortal: <Character>, there is a pass through the mountains north of Dragesvard that goes east.
True Mortal: I have had reports of some creatures that I have never heard of there. I suspect they may be looking for a gate.
True Mortal: If this is the case we could all be in grave danger. I need you to go and investigate.
True Mortal: Tell me what you find there, and perhaps we can discern their motives.
Ice Cave
True Mortal: What have you discovered?
True Mortal: This is very strange. I have had no indications of this fortress.
True Mortal: I wonder who this is, and what he seeks.
Origins
True Mortal: Fully investigate anything suspicious. I must know what is going on.
True Mortal: Did you find out the origin of the Khy'Rhian?
True Mortal: Any idea who is behind this?
True Mortal: Then you must get to them before he does.
True Mortal: Prepare to seek the forest gate first.
Fury Unleashed
True Mortal: The two figures you saw escaping were my charges. The Orb I bear was the key that kept them locked within me.
True Mortal: When the crossbow bolt struck and shattered the orb, the spirits were released.
True Mortal: One was a demon spirit from the plane of Ice known as Isathaara.
True Mortal: The other one, a spirit known as Hideyoshi Fusikawa.
True Mortal: This is terrible. I shall have to reforge the lock, and then we MUST track down Isathaara.
True Mortal: It is now more important than ever that you locate all the gates.
True Mortal: If left to his own devices, Isathaara would gladly destroy this planet, and then seek the destruction of his own realm.
The Maker
True Mortal: You have found the first gate. Very well done.
True Mortal: The orb is a key. It's the final part of the complex prison that was designed to hold certain powerful entities.
True Mortal: Yes. My body itself becomes the prison. The key orb holds the prisoners in check.
True Mortal: Regardless, while I was crafting a new orb, my mind wandered back to my early years here.
True Mortal: Many years ago, a Necromancer wandered through this territory, and came to me asking me questions about the denizens of the Ice Plane.
True Mortal: We quickly became friends.
True Mortal: This necromancer, Vae'Kan said he was researching a means to combine living and necrotic flesh into a creature of undead
True Mortal: He never spoke of his experiments... only of other matters. We discussed philosophy, ethics, and magic endlessly...
True Mortal: ...but I haven't spoken to him now in many years. I can send you to his home, and perhaps you can speak with him regarding the Khy'Rhian.
True Mortal: Hopefully he will be able to tell you something more.
Sandsea Gate
True Mortal: With the release of Isathaara we must take a few shortcuts. I can, in extreme circumstances, send you directly to the location of the next gate.
True Mortal: Unfortunately with Isathaara on the loose, we can't afford to take the time it would take you to seek out the location of each gate.
True Mortal: Therefore, I shall be sending you on to your next location. It's imperative that you are attuned to each gate in the proper order.
True Mortal: It wouldn't be worth doing if it was easy.
True Mortal: Well, this time I'm making it easy for you. I'm sending you directly to the Sandsea and the hidden pyramid that holds the gate.
True Mortal: Once there, well, I can do no more for you until you return, attuned to the gate.
True Mortal: What's a TV?
Love Ship
True Mortal: ....Me....
True Mortal: ... I'm not... SHE forced me to do it..
True Mortal: It was this or she would've colored Thorn pink...
True Mortal: ... I guess I don't have a choice....
True Mortal: There you go...
True Mortal: .........
Dive In
True Mortal: Welcome back. You have done well so far. Now the guardian Kuli-ana awaits you in the deepest of depths.
True Mortal: It was believed that of all gates, the one protected beneath the waves would be the most secure.
True Mortal: Obviously this is now not the case. Kuli-ana has volunteered to serve as the ocean gate Guardian, believing in the security of the gate.
True Mortal: The gates hold the key to capturing Isathaara.
True Mortal: Each gate was imbued with certain properties that, when combined will give you an edge when it's time to face Isathaara.
True Mortal: Each guardian is infused with a bit of the power of the other guardians. No single guardian could handle Isathaara on his or her own.
True Mortal: We discovered quickly that only by our combined powers were we able to stop him.
True Mortal: You are receiving a bit of that power when you attune yourself to each gate.
True Mortal: The process will be complete when you reach the final gate.
True Mortal: At that time, we will go on the offensive. When that time comes, I will give you more information.
True Mortal: Good, then if you will step through the gate, you will be transported to the valley of the Triton.
True Mortal: There you will find the next gate and challenge that awaits you.
Icy Beginnings
True Mortal: In order to fight an enemy, one must first KNOW his enemy. We know quite a bit about Isathaara, but we have next to nothing regarding Nivalis.
True Mortal: It is imperative we find more information.
True Mortal: Indeed, however, in my travels I met someone who might be able to give us a lead.
True Mortal: Greetings.
True Mortal: We need information on the Ice Giants.
A Cold Shoulder
True Mortal: You have been attuned to all the gates. Welcome, finally, to the Brotherhood.
True Mortal: I thought that you might, after talking to Caeternam.
True Mortal: It was my thirst for knowledge. I desired to expand my knowledge of planes of existence beyond this one.
True Mortal: The elemental planes, I believed, held the secrets to life on Lore.
True Mortal: My thirst for these secrets led me to develop spells that would allow me not only to survive on the planes...
True Mortal: ... but would allow me to navigate them like a native.
True Mortal: The spells worked, and I was able to move freely and without suffering from the extreme cold I had found.
True Mortal: I was able to detect two creatures within the range of my magic, so I went in search of a guide.
True Mortal: Unfortunately, the closest of the two was Isathaara.
True Mortal: To my ultimate and abiding misfortune, I ventured too close, unable to sate my curiosity.
True Mortal: When he awakened, he broke his bonds... and my body.
True Mortal: Caeternam rescued me, forgetting his duty, and Isathaara escaped. When he escaped he attacked me with a ferocity that left me stunned.
True Mortal: As he tore into me, I knew that I would die, paying the greatest price for my folly. Caeternam healed me, and then held me for judgement.
True Mortal: More than just a guardian. They made me a prison. They tore me down to my bare essence, then reconstructed me.
True Mortal: They enabled me to contain within myself the power that was Isathaara, and the essence of him.
True Mortal: As they did this, I suffered. They realized I was in pain. They did NOTHING to alleviate that pain.
True Mortal: I knew agony that few mortals have ever had to endure.
True Mortal: It is nothing short of a miracle that survived the process.
True Mortal: Then they gave me the task of aiding in the recapture of Isathaara with the added task of being his jailor.
True Mortal: I was promised a long life as long as I accomplished the tasks set before me.
True Mortal: It was this reason that I was physically destroyed and rebuilt.
True Mortal: A normal human could serve the purpose for most creatures, but I had to be rebuilt completely. No normal mortal could have contained Isathaara.
True Mortal: I think at first I did, but I've had a long time to think about it, and honestly, I understand their point.
True Mortal: It was I, after all, who had freed Isathaara from his prison.
True Mortal: Most times we are given one chance to live our lives, and I made the same mistakes that others have made...
True Mortal: ... and admittedly quite a few that were worse than others have made. I reflected on this as they restored my body.
True Mortal: At this time my captors told me much about Isathaara and his history, as well as his subsequent capture and imprisonment.
True Mortal: No. They only told me that I would host more than one prisoner before all was said and done.
True Mortal: Now, we must leave this discussion. I have an important task for you.
True Mortal: It's come to my attention that Nivalis has brought many of the Ice Dragons over to his side with a promise of easy prey and YOUR defeat.
True Mortal: As I understand it, they haven't forgotten your role in the war against them during your time struggling to obtain the orbs.
True Mortal: I need you to travel north, meet with Aisha and speak with her about recalling the Ice Dragons in order to remove them from the service of Nivalis.
True Mortal: It may not succeed, but we MUST try.
True Mortal: The fewer allies he has, the harder his task will become.
True Mortal: And quite frankly, while I realized you have faced large numbers of dragons before, they weren't aided by a cryomancer like Nivalis.
Alliance
True Mortal: I suspected that plea would fail, but we needed to try. I have sent word to the Guardians and the Dragonslayers.
True Mortal: They are sending aid here.
True Mortal: I need you to go north and speak with Laguzoki. See if you can get help from among his people.
True Mortal: I know what he is, and I know who he is, and I know what he's done.
True Mortal: I had hoped he might have some insight that would help us deal with both Nivalis AND Isathaara.
True Mortal: Unfortunately, he did not. He did, however, promise to aid us in the fight. He is a great Pyromancer no matter his madness.
True Mortal: He will be a great help when the time comes. Difficult times lay ahead.
True Mortal: I know.
True Mortal: I hear him.
True Mortal: You can come out now... Nivalis.
True Mortal: I did.
True Mortal: So that's the way of it? You'll force your way into and through the gates attempting to control all of us?
True Mortal: You would pervert the workings of beings greater than us in your war against life itself? Good luck with that.
True Mortal: You may be biting off far more than you can chew.
