Dialogue
*Back in Nieboheim, you report to a Heroes Guild's secretary after successfully escorting the pepper merchant.*
<Character>: ... And the pepper merchant was escorted safely!
<Character>: So, how do I register to become a Hero?
Bored Secretary: ...
Bored Secretary: Sign here.
*You stare at the underwhelming piece of parchment held out in front of you.*
<Character>: That's it? I can talk to the Magesterium now?
Bored Secretary: Yep.
Bored Secretary: But unless it's important, they'll probably just turn you down.
<Character>: Fantastic! Thank you, citizen.
Bored Secretary: Yep.
Bored Secretary: Take care now.
*A few moments later, you approach an unknown Magester and his Ignominious from behind.*
<Character>: Excuse me! I am <Character>, Hero of Falconreach, member of the Heroes Guild!
Annoyed Magester: ...
<Character>: I request an audience with the Magesterium.
Annoyed Magester: ...
<Character>: It's a matter of grave importance!
*The Magester now appears to be pondering your request, before turning around to face you.*
Annoyed Magester: How... grave?
<Character>: Very?
The Magester rolls his eyes. Most likely. You can't see his face. You imagine him doing it though!
Annoyed Magester: So be it. Follow me. Do not stray from my side.
Annoyed Magester: The city is preparing for Celebration, and the last thing we need is Heroes getting swept up into the—
Annoyed Magester: Ah, pardon me. Do try to stay close, please.
*A short while later, you and the Magester (and his Ignominious) approach a pair of colossal, beautiful stained-glass doors.*
Annoyed Magester: Here we are.
??? (1): *Angry retort*, ??? (2): *Muffled shouting*, ??? (3): *Mild response*, ??? (4): *Barely audible muttering*, ??? (5): *Heated arguing*
*The stained-glass doors open and you are ushered inside to the Magesterium.*
??? (6): —clamation is almost ready—
??? (6): What is the meaning of this interruption?
Annoyed Magester: Do pardon our intrusion.
??? (7): Interesting., ??? (6): How rude!, ??? (8): We are in the middle of—
Annoyed Magester: This Hero claims to have a concern that is of the utmost urgency.
??? (9): Out with it then!, ??? (10): What are they wearing?, ??? (11): Who is this Hero?, ??? (12): Who authorized this Hero?, ??? (13): What could be so important?
*You head down the steps and approach the center of the Magesterium chamber, surrounded by Magesters.*
<Character>: Greetings!
<Character>: I am <Character>, Hero of Falconreach—
??? (14): Falconreach?, ??? (15): Savage!, ??? (16): Hero?, ??? (17): Is that north of—, ??? (18): Of where?
<Character>: I have sailed across the seas in request of assistance against the Rose.
??? (19): Can you not deal with your own issues?, ??? (20): What kind of Hero is this?, ??? (21): Who authorized this Hero? Somebody answer me!, ??? (22): How impertinent!, ??? (23): How unclean!
??? (24): Where is Falconreach?, ??? (25): How uncouth!, ??? (26): Why should we entertain this?, ??? (27): This is highly unusual., ??? (28): Who let this savage in?, ??? (29): Get <him/her/them> out of here!
*To your surprise, your pet dragon seemingly appears out of nowhere to silence the Magesters' judgemental commentary.*
<Dragon>: *ROAAAAR!*
<Dragon>: <Character> is a Hero! A good one at that! | *growl growl rumble*
<Dragon>: You will listen to <him/her/them>! | *ROAWR*!
*Silence follows as everyone still appears to be in shock at the sudden presence of a dragon.*
<Character>: <Dragon>!!!
<Character>: Where did you come from?!
<Dragon>: I was in your pack the whole time! | *growl grumble*
<Dragon>: Also, we're out of DragonSnax. And Hero-Os. And Gorillaphant Jerky. | *happy dragon noises*
??? (14): Dragon!, ??? (15): How can this be?, ??? (16): They remain?!, ??? (17): Destroy it!, ??? (18): Curious.
??? (30): Get me out of here!, ??? (31): Hold on a second!, ??? (32): Heresy!, ??? (33): Savages!, ??? (34): Blasphemy!, ??? (35): Capture them!, ??? (36): Is this a plot from the Rose?
??? (37): Guards!
??? (37): Guards!

??? (38): Destruction of property!, ??? (39): Don't be stupid!, ??? (40): Hold on a second.

<Character>: Please, I only wanted to learn—

Magester: Useless! I'll do it myself!
Battle! - begins battle with (1) Magester, (2) Magi Scout.
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.

??? (46): Enough!, ??? (47): Cease!
<Dragon>: *growls victoriously*
??? (19): So. The dragons persist on the other continent., ??? (20): Stop the fighting!, ??? (21): This savage isn't worth it!, ??? (22): Let <him/her/them> speak!, ??? (23): Give <him his/her her/them their> audience!
<Character>: I— I apologize.
<Character>: I really didn't mean to offend.
<Character>: I am <Character>, Hero of Falconreach. I have come here to seek aid against the Rose.
<Character>: We share a common enemy in that regard, and I believe, that is—
<Character>: The resistance believes that we can work together and stop the Rose from doing any more harm.
<Character>: The Rose threatens magic across Lore, not just in Greenguard and surrounding areas.
<Character>: The Rose perpetrates injustices against those that use magic.
<Character>: They will not stop with the Land of Dragons. Your empire, this continent, the Land of Fables, is in danger as well.
<Character>: With your aid, we can stop Jaania from following through with whatever misguided plans she has made.
??? (41): Working with uncivilized folk?, ??? (42): Out of the question., ??? (43): Our plans are already in motion., ??? (44): What if we want to help?, ??? (18): Only if we approve subsection D, part 4—, ??? (45): I voted against it!
??? (48): This could prove useful., ??? (49): A vote!, ??? (50): It's only fair!, ??? (51): You've had your evidence!, ??? (52): We need more evidence!, ??? (53): Call a vote!
??? (54): Guide our deliberation, Shapeless!
Annoyed Magester: Come now. The Magesterium will now debate on the subject and come to a most fair conclusion.
<Character>: But I haven't explained everything fully yet! I also wanted to know—
Annoyed Magester: We are more aware of the situation than you realize, Hero. Much more aware. But for now, you must wait.
*You, your dragon, and the Magester leave the Magesterium chamber and await the debate's conclusion outside the stained-glass doors.*
<Character>: ...
<Character>: So... I never caught your name, and you were nice enough to humour me... and even escort me here.
Niedamir: Niedamir.
<Character>: Nice to meet you, Niedamir!
<Character>: I was wondering...
<Character>: Can you tell me why the magesters reacted so strongly to <Dragon>?
Niedamir: Our ancestors drove the dragons away from here, the Land of Fables, and claimed this land for our own: Azaveyr.
Niedamir: To see one here, in person... Try to keep it hidden and under control.
<Character>: Why did the ancient magesters do that? Wipe out the dragons from this continent?
Niedamir: They did what they had to. Such is the nature of survival. There was no personal animosity at first.
Niedamir: The magesters of old had nowhere else to go. And the dragons found somewhere else to live.
<Character>: ...That's it? You couldn't live peacefully? You had to fight?
Niedamir: That is what the history says.
<Character>: Do you believe that?
Niedamir: History is written by the victorious.
<Character>: But do you believe it?
Niedamir: Yes.
Niedamir: Yes I do.
<Character>: ...
<Dragon>: Zzzzzzz...
*The stained-glass doors to the Magesterium chamber open from the inside and the silhouette of a Magester appears.*
Meek Magester: <Character>, Hero of Falconreach. A most fair judgement has been decided.
<Character>: Wait, judgement?
Meek Magester: You may enter.
*You and your dragon are back in the center of the Magesterium chamber, surrounded by Magesters once more.*
??? (55): <Character>, Hero of Falconreach. By divine decree of the Shapeless, the Magesterium has voted and made judgement most fair.
??? (56): You are not to be punished for your actions in Ull and surrounding countryside.
<Character>: Wait, you know about that? That was all just a misunderstanding! I—
??? (57): You are not to be punished for the destruction of property and the assault of a Magester.
<Character>: You attacked me! I was defending myself!
??? (55): Silence.
*You resist the urge to defend yourself any further and turn to face the other side of the Magesterium chamber.*
??? (58): You are not to be punished for harboring a dragon.
<Dragon>: *Suspicious growl*
<Character>: I... appreciate not being punished for crimes that I didn't do, but what of the aid I requested?
??? (59): We will not aid you or your resistance in your troubles with the Rose.
??? (55): Our own plans are already in motion.
??? (56): They do not concern, nor require, your presence.
??? (57): However.
??? (58): You are welcome to stay. Explore our glorious Empire.
??? (59): Perhaps you will learn something of true civilization to bring back to your heathen lands.
??? (60): We are in a time of Celebration, after all!
*Scene fades to black.*
