Dialogue
Entrance
Calm Magester: How are you recovering? Have the pains returned?
Tired Magester: They come and go. I fear it will remain chronic until... Until...
Calm Magester: Our timeline for Project Casca is distressingly short. We must find new candidates soon.
Tired Magester: Yes. But the Shapeless wills that we take things one step at a time.
Tired Magester: We will find them. Whether here or back in Azaveyr.
Tired Magester: The Magesterium... The Empire... It will survive!
Calm Magester: The Magesterium will be reborn.
Tired Magester: ...Do you have... regrets?
Calm Magester: Always. But the Shapeless keeps me strong. When my time comes, I will be at peace.
Tired Magester: You mean "if". You Golden Hand have a chance, at least.
Calm Magester: Ah. Hero. I hope you are prepared to do your part, as well.
Golem: Welcome. To. Outpost. Yeden.
Replay Intro - begins Welcome to Outpost Yeden quest.
Supply Area
Managing Citizen: And there's the latest flour requisition!
Managing Citizen: Luckily our supplies are well stocked.
Managing Citizen: ...Shipments from the homeland have been fewer and fewer though...
Managing Citizen: Perhaps we should begin to explore some agricultural options... We could try some murshroms from the next batch, perhaps?
Managing Citizen: We are running out of space in the outpost, though. And the Magesters are busy with their project, not expanding the walls.
Managing Citizen: No matter. When the Empire is reclaimed, trade will pick up again.
Studious Citizen: You are a hero, are you not? That is good.
Studious Citizen: I was a farmer back in the Empire. Was saved by a group of three such heroes, and then Magesters put me on a boat over here.
Studious Citizen: Life here is not so different, really. We all work for the glory of the Shapeless.
Studious Citizen: But I do miss my home. If it even still stands.
Studious Citizen: Ah... but we can always rebuild. We can always start over.
Studious Citizen: And I must return. Or how else could I properly thank those heroes? I will not soon forget you, Captain Bronimir!
Outside the Dome
Ostromir: Ah, it is like home away from home! How are you doing, <Character>?
Talk
<Character>: I'm well, Ostromir, thank you. You seem happy to be here.
Vseslava: I have never seen him smile so often.
Ostromir: The Magesterium survived, <Character>! There is still hope for the Empire! How could I not be hopeful for the future?
Vseslava: There is still much work to be done. But this familiarity is comforting.
<Character>: I'm glad to hear it.
Project Casca
<Character>: So... what's Project Casca?
Vseslava: You will learn soon enough, I am sure.
Ostromir: The Magesterium's grand undertaking...
Ostromir: We will be part of history, <Character>! You will be a legend among heroes!
<Character>: I already—
Vseslava: Let him have this, <Character>. He has had little cause to celebrate in recent times.
<Character>: Right. You got it, Ostromir. We're going to be legends.
Ostromir: Ah, if only my family...
Magesterium
<Character>: Have there been any updates from the Shapeless Empire?
Vseslava: They have been sporadic. And not all good news.
Vseslava: Many perished after the Seym fell, Magesters and citizens.
Ostromir: Some survivors have made their way here, to Outpost Yeden.
Ostromir: We have ships transporting refugees and supplies as needed, but it is not a quick journey.
Vseslava: We cannot disclose more than that at this time. But with Project Casca, we will reclaim our lands once more.
Vseslava: I am sure you will learn more when the time comes.
Cordial Magester: Your domicile awaits, hero.
Inside the Dome
Common Area
Quests! - opens the scroll.
Zvezdana: Do you have some time, hero?
Zvezdana: Seeing as you have put a dent into our patrol golem numbers, we have had some trouble keeping beasts away from our walls.
Zvezdana: Try not to wander too far. I shall have a drone watch your progress and guide you should you lose direction in the grass.
Zvezdana: How are you finding your abode, hero? If you have the time, there are a few matters that could use your talents.
Quests
- Patrol
Zvezdana: Seeing as you have put a dent into our patrol golem numbers, we have had some trouble keeping beasts away from our walls.
Zvezdana: Try not to wander too far. I shall have a drone watch your progress and guide you should you lose direction in the grass.
- Probes
Zvezdana: We are about due for another assessment of the local mana levels. Three probes must be placed in specific locations.
Zvezdana: While ordinarily a Magester would be assigned such a delicate task, your presence allows us to forgo unnecessary risk.
- Survey
Zvezdana: There have been sightings of an unknown creature that appears only at night. Our drones have only caught glimpses of it.
Zvezdana: You are to head out and find this creature, and help us catalog its behavior and appearance.
- The Mana Tree
Zvezdana: In the heart of this mana-touched land stands a massive tree, looming over all.
Zvezdana: The Magesterium is interested in some of the fruit that grows high in its boughs.
Zvezdana: While it is unlikely, it is possible that the fruit borne from the tree could be used to temporarily extend the tenure of the ignominious...
Zvezdana: ...Or even ourselves.
Zvezdana: Such a task is best undertaken by a small force, such as yourself, so as to not draw attention.
Zvezdana: A drone shall lead you to the base of the tree, if you accept this mission.
Shop - opens Yeden Supplies shop.
Hero's Lodging
Drone: Greetings, hero <Character>. How may I assist?
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
Dragon?
Drone: Your presence as a hero of the Magesterium is greatly appreciated.
Drone: You are welcome to make yourself at home.
<Character>: Is it really okay for <Dragon> to be out here like this?
Drone: Your dragon has received special approval to exist within this Magesterium outpost.
Drone: I have orders to keep it satisfied to prevent any unnecessary conflict.
Drone: In return, it is asked that you do not panic the citizenry with its presence.
<Character>: ...I see...
<Character>: ...I think <Dragon> might need a few more snacks.
Drone: As the hero desires. It will be done.
Outpost Yeden
<Character>: What can you tell me about the outpost?
Drone: Outpost Yeden was first established in ages past for a classified purpose.
Drone: Now, it exists to monitor the Fissure and any activity or change from it.
Drone: With the temporary loss of the Seym, Outpost Yeden now serves as a prosthetic heart for the Shapeless Empire.
Drone: Magesters and Golden Hand, along with any displaced citizens, are welcome while steps are being taken to reclaim our home.
<Character>: I see. Thanks.
Amadeus: What do you want?
Talk
<Character>: Hello, Amadeus.
Amadeus: <Character>.
<Character>: ...
Amadeus: ...
Amadeus: Surely you have better things to be doing with your time?
Alteon?
<Character>: So... King Alteon...
Amadeus: He is king no longer.
<Character>: Er. Right. Alteon.
Amadeus: It is amusing that his daughter has accomplished what Sepulchure could not.
Amadeus: Dethroning that...
Amadeus: ...It matters not. His power will be of use.
Lynn
<Character>: How is Lynn doing?
Amadeus: She is as safe as can be.
Amadeus: ...
Amadeus: <Character>. You are... resilient.
Amadeus: If I...
<Character>: ...
Amadeus: Never mind. But you will visit her when this business is concluded.
<Character>: ...I understand, Amadeus.
Amadeus: Hmph.
Magesterium
<Character>: What do you think of the state of the Magesterium?
Amadeus: You want my opinion... hero?
<Character>: I want your assessment, Spymaster.
Amadeus: ...Very well. I presume the drone will not mind.
Amadeus: The Magesters are desperate. The citizens cling to hope, but they have lost everything else.
Amadeus: However, they all hold faith in their Project Casca.
Amadeus: We should follow along. Their technology and power is undeniable.
<Character>: Thank you, Amadeus.
A&A Dome Drone: Greetings, hero <Character>. How may I assist?
<Character>: You're watching over those two all the time?
A&A Dome Drone: That is correct. They are currently not allowed to leave, and any sign of subversion of Magesterium ideals will result in punishment.
<Character>: I don't know if you're going to be able to stop them by yourself.
A&A Dome Drone: The dome contains a number of classified security measures. The Magesterium will be protected.
Alteon: Hello, <Character>! This is quite marvelous, isn't it?
Talk
<Character>: Hello... um... Sir.
Alteon: Please, call me Alden. Or if that's too familiar, Alteon will do.
<Character>: Right. How are you doing, Alteon? I know this might not have been what you were expecting from an adventure so far.
Alteon: Are you kidding? This is amazing! I've never seen anything so fascinating!
Alteon: The magic, the drones... When I return to Swordhaven... When I...
Alteon: ...I will recommend to the Queen to invest more into the study of magic and mana manipulation.
<Character>: That sounds like a worthy cause.
Alteon: Did you see the way those golems move? We fought them before, and I noticed then, but their movements are so natural.
Alteon: We must seem so primitive compared to the Magesters.
<Character>: Alteon... The Magesterium is not as flawless as they may appear.
Alteon: Yes, you're right, of course. I must temper my enthusiasm with the reality of the Magesterium's... endeavors.
Alteon: I apologize. I have not seen such wonders in a long time.
Queen Victoria
<Character>: So, about the Queen...
Alteon: Victoria's done so well, hasn't she? Perhaps I was too strict on her in the past...
<Character>: Alteon, it wasn't easy for her. She was forced to lead when she would rather be taking action.
Alteon: Nothing is easy for rulers. Destiny called and she answered, as decisively as any could wish for.
Alteon: Moreover, as you've seen of The Rose and... my own example...
Alteon: ...Good leadership requires action.
<Character>: You don't regret the struggles Victoria has had to endure without you?
Alteon: I regret the pain. But the outcome has been all that I could have wished for, had I perished that day.
<Character>: I see.
Amadeus
<Character>: What do you think about Amadeus?
Alteon: He was Jaania's research lead and advisor, wasn't he?
Alteon: He is a capable fellow, knows his way around a blade, that's for sure.
Alteon: His fighting style reminds me of the knights I used to keep, many years ago...
Alteon: I have lost touch with so many. Perhaps we knew each other, once.
Alteon: He seems disinterested in chatting with me now, though.
<Character>: You're not... concerned about his magic?
Alteon: Er, I was, but it seemed everyone else was okay with it and I didn't want to presume anything...
Alteon: Should I be worried? It seemed a bit dark for my tastes.
<Character>: Um. No, it's okay. Don't worry about it.
Alteon: Thank you, <Character>. I'm trying to keep an open mind, after all.
As original dialogue, with new dialogue from 'Talk' option; all other options becomes inaccessible when approaching Amadeus:
Talk
<Character>: So... You and Alteon knew each other before... all this? He called you Valen.
Amadeus: It's the past. I am no longer that man.
<Character>: ...
Amadeus: ...
Amadeus: I will speak no more of it. Leave me to rest. I must recover before the next mission.
As original dialogue, with new dialogue from 'Amadeus' option when approaching Alteon:
Amadeus
<Character>: About Amadeus... You knew him from before he was Sepulchure?
Alteon: I did. He was Valen then, and together with him... and another... we were heroes. Adventurers, much like yourself.
Alteon: We travelled the land, protecting it, and its people. We took down King Slugwrath together. We were heroes.
<Character>: What happened? Something must have turned the hero Valen into the villain Sepulchure.
Alteon: I am sorry, <Character>. As much as Amadeus does not wish to speak of the past, I do not, either.
Alteon: Perhaps when all of this business with The Rose is concluded, and if Amadeus himself is willing to speak of it...
Alteon: But I will not tell our story without his consent and his participation. I owe him that much.
<Character>: I see. Another time then.
Alteon: Perhaps. If you do not mind, I... must... reflect on my thoughts.
Courtyard
Wistful Magester: Perhaps, when all this is over, we will have laid the foundations for this outpost to become an established colony.
Wistful Magester: Trade will flow, the glory of the Shapeless will spread...
Wistful Magester: Perhaps I could even visit Nieboheim, should I last until then, of course.
Wistful Magester: ...To see that day... To see the spires of Nieboheim once more...
Wistful Magester: Yes... We do this for those who will come after.
Worried Citizen: ...
Worried Citizen: Oh, I am sorry. I did not see you there. I am... thinking of home, you see.
Worried Citizen: I was only able to save a few books when I fled. It was... I...
Worried Citizen: The Magesters have been very accommodating. They removed the... the idols.
Worried Citizen: I cannot bear to see the form of our god. Nor can many others.
Worried Citizen: ...But Nieboheim will be restored. Our home...
Worried Citizen: I have faith. I have faith.
Quiet Citizen: Did you hear? They are asking for volunteers to test for latent magical abilities.
Proud Citizen: Again? They did that last week, did they not?
Quiet Citizen: And the week before that as well.
Proud Citizen: Do you think they have found any chosen by the Shapeless, yet?
Quiet Citizen: I do not know. My duties keep me busy, after all. But perhaps I should find the time to try.
Proud Citizen: You already find the time to gossip!
Outside the Tower
Busy Magester: It appears mana is flowing correctly, which means the problem must be mechanical.
Busy Magester: ...But the latest shipment of replacement parts is long overdue without any contact.
Busy Magester: Could something have happened...?
Busy Magester: As frustrating as it is, we will have to make do with what we have until we hear otherwise.
Busy Magester: Ah, Zvezdana's guest hero. I did not see you there.
Busy Magester: Do you not have something better to be doing?
Golem: Entrance. Is. Not. Permitted.
Harbor
Drone: You are not permitted past this point, hero <Character>. Please step back.
Shore
Busy Citizen: Why am I doing the laundry and not the golems?
Busy Citizen: There is much work to be done that is too delicate for the golems to handle.
Busy Citizen: Even then, we do not have an easy supply of them, and our protection from the creatures that roam these lands is of the higher priority.
Busy Citizen: Ah, how I miss the peace of Nieboheim...
Busy Citizen: But one day soon, we will return. We will.
