<Character>: So, I don't suppose you can tell me what to expect next can you?
Ahmet Ptah: I can tell you that the next location lay beneath the waves.
Ahmet Ptah: The avatars expected the gates to be protected, not counting on a freak accident...
Ahmet Ptah: ...involving some explosives and a ship loaded with water breathing potions.
<Character>: Heh.. err yeah, I ... heard about that.
Ahmet Ptah: *Chuckle* Yes, I believe you did. Now, as to the nature of your next challenge, I cannot say. Each Guardian has a lesson for you to learn.
Ahmet Ptah: Learn them well, for they will serve you in life as well. Patiencem Courage, Skill, Intellect... all of these things are a part of growth.
Ahmet Ptah: You exhibit these traits in great amounts. Your deeds, while sometimes perhaps a bit misguided, are nevertheless extraordinary.
<Character>: Why, thank you!

<Character>: Your Race? What is your race?
Ahmet Ptah: That's a difficult question. Let's suffice to say we were wanderers. Far and wide we had travelled, and much have we seen.
Ahmet Ptah: When we came to rest here, we suspectewd our time had run its course. Fate had long foretold of the cataclysm that destroyed all but me.
<Character>: Cataclysm?
Ahmet Ptah: For us, yes. I was patrolling our corridors when a sudden cold descended on me. I fled down the halls, seeking a safe place.
Ahmet Ptah: I had just entered a doorway when... darkness. I lay senseless I know not how long.
Ahmet Ptah: When I regained consciousness, a sheet of ice covered everything in these halls. Only I remained... the others were gone.

<Character>: What can you tell me about Isathaara?
Ahmet Ptah: He is brutality incarnate... He is as cold as the ice that flows through his veins. He is mad. Utterly insane...
Ahmet Ptah: ...but cold in his madness, even clinical. He knows what he desires, and he will achieve it at all costs. Simply put he is evil.
Ahmet Ptah: There is no room in his world for remorse or conscience. He must be stopped, and you will be needed for this task.
Ahmet Ptah: What your role is, I cannot say... that is clouded to me.

Read now the words of Ahmet Ptah, who am the last of his people. Isathaara had been unleashed on this plane.
His rampage across Lore threatened everyone. My people sought to harness his power, to bend him to our will. When our last ditch attempt to contain him failed, he froze our home, leaving the Sandsea under a sheet of ice for miles around.
I awakened from that final attempt in the darkened halls of our home. I wandered the dark halls for hours, searching out any sign of my people. Of them I could find nothing
After the disappearance of my people, I sought out the Brotherhood of Isathaara, who had banded together to capture and bring to bay the malevolent Ice creature.
Once he was unable to flee, he was cornered by the guardians, and trapped by Letalis. I returned here, to the site of the Sandsea gate to guard the portal from invasion.
The Guardians themselves took upon themselves the charge of their respective gates, each one interlinked. They alone would bear the secret of the gates and protect them from trespass.
Once home, I studied the stars. Upon these walls I have recorded my history. There will come a time when Ice breaks free, and will be sought by winter.
At that time one will arise who will have in abundance those qualities the brotherhood holds dear. This hero must be tested and weighed before they will be prepared to halt the advance of winter, and once again imprison Ice.
