== Dialogue ==
;During [[Seer Artifact]], interacting with the [[Seer Artifact (object)|artifact]]
:A thick layer of dust covers a strange, tubelike object on the table before you. You can make out unfamiliar symbols on it, but you aren't sure what it is or says. Do you want to pick it up?
:{{dialogue icon|yes}} ''Pick it up.'' 

;During [[Greater Understanding]], with [[Historian Tranton]]
:It's an honor.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Tranton, I found this artifact; any idea what it might be?
::Let me take a look!
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Here you go!
:::Where did you get this?
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Uh... under a...rock. A very strange rock. (Lie)''
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''In [[The Ruined City of Arah|Arah]]. (More believable lie)''
::::Hmm, I've seen similar markings before, on the entrance to the [[Bloodstone Caves]]. Perhaps there's some connection?
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''All right. Thanks for your help as always.''
:::::Let me know if you find anything interesting!
:::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Right, yes. Of course.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''On second thought, perhaps I should keep it to myself...''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'm sure.''

;During [[A Call to Action]], with [[Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper]]
:'''Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper:''' Fight by [[Seer|our]] side to quell the beasts of turmoil!
:'''Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper:''' Stand with me, [[jotun]]! Stand with me, [[Forgotten]]! [[Mursaat]] and [[Dwarf|dwarves]]! Fight by our side!
:'''Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper:''' The [[Elder Dragon]]s bring terror to [[Tyria (world)|our world]], but together [[Elder race|we]] can protect ourselves.
:'''Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper:''' Alone, we will be brought to ruin and bone. Tyria, destroyed.
:'''Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper:''' But if we fight back as one, we can claim the world as ours. Our [[magic]] will not be their game.
:'''Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper:''' Cut down their [[Dragon champion|champions]]. Hollow their places of refuge. Until we can rest, neither can they.

;During [[Awakening (item)|Awakening]], with Legendary Sidony the Shadowkeeper
