Dialogue
Talk - takes you to walk up to and speak with the Atealans.
Yashta
<Character>: Hey, Yashta.
Yashta: Yes, master?
<Character>: <Character>!
Yashta: Yes, master <Character>?
<Character>: ...
<Character>: Why does your Empress look like a moglin?
Yashta: What do you mean?
<Character>: She's a moglin! How is that possible?
Yashta: The Empress is not a moglin.
<Character>: Uh, Yashta, we just saw her.
Yashta: Her appearance depends on the viewer.
Yashta: You see her as a harmless moglin. We each see otherwise.
<Character>: What does she look like to you?
Yashta: To me, she appears as an Ulret.
<Character>: What's that?
Yashta: It is a small furred creature with large horns that lived on Somorah.
Yashta: They populated the many meadows and fields under the light of the stars.
Yashta: I miss them dearly.
<Character>: I'm... sorry, Yashta.
Yashta: There is no time to be sorry. Let us stop this incursion so that we do not lose any more.
Isiri
Isiri: Jatiw, <Character>!
<Character>: You're looking well, Isiri. How are the Ascendants faring?
Isiri: We're holding, but the enemy forces seem limitless.
Isiri: I am impressed with you yet again, however!
Isiri: The Empress recognizes your ability, and with you and the Vind, I am glad that we do not need to flee.
<Character>: Would Atrea really have vanished if the Vind didn't pledge their aid?
Isiri: Perhaps. It would have been sad to leave this land so soon. The stars here are ever fascinating.
Isiri: But we must look forward. Once The Empress closes this rift, we'll have such a celebration!
<Character>: We will!
Alz'ein
Alz'ein: <Character>.
<Character>: Hi, Alz'ein. How goes the fight?
Alz'ein: Well enough, for now. This rift, though. It's really something.
<Character>: What do you mean?
Alz'ein: When it first opened, we managed to sneak in a few Riftwalker scouts, since it's our specialty.
Alz'ein: Turns out it leads to another plane of existence.
<Character>: Whoa. Do you have any idea where, exactly?
Alz'ein: It's hard to pin down specifics. We were only able to learn so much before the invasion started.
Alz'ein: It felt... raw, though. It reminded me of Wargoth, if that makes any sense?
<Character>: That doesn't sound good.
Alz'ein: It's not. But The Empress trusts us to defend her, and that is what we will do. Against any threat.
Alz'ein: Enough chatter, let's get back into the thick of battle!
Nirios and Etaos
<Character>: Hello Nirios, Etaos.
Etaos: Shh, <Character>. Nirios is focusing!
Nirios: A simple conversation will not be too taxing.
Etaos: Ah, hush, just listen to that song.
<Character>: That song? Is that The Empress singing?
Nirios: It is. It is the Song of the Ateala— the history of our people, from the very beginning, to the present.
Etaos: We're in it!
Etaos: Well, towards the end.
Nirios: Indeed. It is a great honor, and one that reminds us that our actions will be heard by generations to come.
<Character>: Wow!
<Character>: Is The Empress the only one who knows all the words?
Nirios: Perhaps in full. However, it is common for any Ateala to learn the relevant passages related to their family and profession.
Etaos: There's some really cool bits! Romance, fighting, tragedy, and comedy, history really has it all.
<Character>: I'll leave you to maintaining the barrier then. Stay strong!
Nirios: Fight well, <Character>.
Etaos: Beat 'em all up!
To Battle! - The Empress and the Magesterium can be heard singing and warning respectively.
The Empress
The Empress: Hearken to us, our Ateala
The Empress: Children of your one Empress
The Empress: Look to the stars, our guidance.

The Empress: A flash, a spark, a
The Empress: comet across the sky
The Empress: The promise of more
The Empress: More beyond this veil
The Empress: More beyond this Void
The Empress: We would need to see, to learn, to grow
The Empress: Such emotion that came upon us
The Empress: And so we shed a tear
The Empress: The first drop, the first of our Ateala
The Empress: Followed by many more, overwhelmed
The Empress: Our children arose, and in wonder and new life,
The Empress: Hearken to us, our Ateala
The Empress: Children of your one Empress
The Empress: Look to the stars, our guidance.

The Empress: In the tapestry of stars, long ago
The Empress: A different space, another time
The Empress: You came, back home, bringing us your light
The Empress: Areina, the first to return, to see the stars
The Empress: As we do, together, she brought us the sky
The Empress: A portrait of wonder, seen through our eyes.
The Empress: We could not escape notice, for as we grew
The Empress: There were others, not alone, now lost to the Void
The Empress: A serpent of hunger, devourer of our children it
The Empress: Slid through our grasp, til it met Anohrin, who
The Empress: Tore down the stars, and with them protected
The Empress: As one.
The Empress: As our inspiration faded, as our tears ceased to fall
The Empress: Our children returned to us, with new stars in their eyes
The Empress: And together we sang, and shared in our sight, from which
The Empress: New children emerged, the same as our tears, but not
The Empress: Dependent on our own creation they grew together
The Empress: With us.
The Empress: Our tears returned, our knowledge branched, our children
The Empress: In awe, born of song and star, were prosperous, we knew
The Empress: There were other stars, other skies, other children, and
The Empress: More to explore, to see, to learn, to grow, to be
The Empress: Our home we left, the first of many, taking the stars
The Empress: With us.
The Empress: ...stars rained from the sky...
The Empress: ...fled from the invasion...
The Empress: ...a new home of Somorah...
The Empress: ...without hope for the stars could not be seen...
The Empress: ...engineered with deft hands...
The Empress: ...above the clouds, above the storms, they shone...
The Empress: ...the fields blossomed in the night...
The Empress: ...starlight tamed by Nolim...
The Empress: ...pulled from the tops of mountains...
The Empress: ...trees and growth, surrounding, a people...
The Empress: ...taught to us to survive, to paint, to craft...
The Empress: ...what we already knew and would have to leave behind...
The Empress: ...the winds howled and our children learned...
The Empress: ...through the mind we saw, we heard...
The Empress: ...a bulwark against the hostile...
The Empress: ...their craft unparalleled, by all...
The Empress: ...to us returned too soon...
The Empress: ...knowledge shared but not refined...
The Empress: ...thought at first to be a spark from the stars...
The Empress: ...burning, uncontrolled, roiling flames to the sky...
The Empress: ...loss of many but still we shed no tears...
The Empress: ...strong of horn and arm, against the swarm of foes...
The Empress: ...victorious around the walls three times...
The Empress: ...but would not return, missed for years...
The Empress: ...water as far as could be seen...
The Empress: ...to the ends of the world we sailed...
The Empress: ...mysterious stones from the depths pulled...
The Empress: ...her eyes like suns, bright...
The Empress: ..,a hole torn through the Void...
The Empress: ...a mistake, temporary, unmaintainable...
Magesterium
Magesterium: It is because of the Rose that you must suffer today.
Magesterium: Jaania of the Rose continues her interference where it is not welcome.
Magesterium: Only when Jaania is brought to justice will this cease.
Magesterium: To support the Rose is to oppose the will of the Shapeless.
Magesterium: Your sacrifice shall serve as her warning.
