== Dialogue ==
;At the start of [[Stronghold of the Faithful]]
:I have a few minutes if you want to talk. I also have some supplies if you want to check out my inventory.
:{{dialogue icon|ready}} ''Let's start the mission.''
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''I see you brought explosives.''
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' They're my own blend of black powder, magnetite shards, and a few other compounds.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' The resulting shrapnel blast shatters everything in range, including [[magic]]al barriers.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' The downside? They're highly unstable. If they take a good shock or are dropped, they would kill everything nearby.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' So don't even ask; you can't have one.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Are you some kind of ley-rift expert?''
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Expert is an overstatement, but yes, I'm familiar with the subject.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' They seem to manifest in areas of high magic concentration.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' The [[Heart of Maguuma|Maguuma]] has been bathing in energy since [[Mordremoth]]'s death.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I suppose we should have expected that to happen. (sigh)
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' If we can draw on it, we may be able to use it to our advantage.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Or cause some unpredictable results. Magic—especially in high concentrations—can be difficult to control.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What led to your decision to help us here?''
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' [[Squad Leader Bennett|Bennett]] shared his story after being freed at [[Salvation Pass]].
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I knew you'd want to strike while we were deep in enemy territory.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' So I'm at your disposal. I have plenty of supplies, including explosives that should get us inside their fortifications.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' After that, we'll have to improvise. It seems as if our enemy has been constructing this complex for quite some time.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I don't know what's inside.
:{{dialogue icon|merchant}} ''I'd like to browse your inventory.''
::<small>(If you don't have Ley Rift Mastery)</small>
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I only sell to those knowledgeable on the subject of [[Rift Forger|ley rifts]].

;In the Courtyard
:I'll stay back while you deal with that... thing. I bet this place is a treasure trove of [[White Mantle]] history.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What do you make of [[Xera]]?''
::'''<Character name>:''' What are your thoughts on Xera?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I know as much about her as you. She's powerful, no doubt. And she commands a rather large force.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' If I had to guess, I'd say she's a [[mesmer]].
::'''<Character name>:''' How can you tell?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I just have a feeling. I mean, look at this place—the statues, the paintings... I swear they're watching us.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Don't trust everything you see. Deceptions abound.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''They have the last [[mursaat]].''
::'''<Character name>:''' I guess Bennett was right about [[Lazarus]].
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Technically, we don't know if Lazarus is actually here. I mean, maybe he is?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Or maybe they're summoning him from another dimension?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I have to admit my knowledge of the mursaat is limited. They've been out of sight—and mind—for more than 200 years.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' But I will concede that Bennett was likely onto something.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' These militants wouldn't be muttering that "your death will bring Him life!" without it meaning something.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What do you think about their bloodstone weapons?''
::'''<Charater name>:''' What's your theory on [[bloodstone]] weapons?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Long ago, the White Mantle sacrificed humans on the Maguuma Bloodstone.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' They trapped the spirits of the sacrificed inside magical containers...
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' ...which were then transported to where they needed large amounts of energy.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Specifically to the [[gww:Door of Komalie|Door of Komalie]], where the magic kept their enemies—the [[Titan]]s—at bay.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' And we all know how that worked out.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' But we never really knew what these devices were actually made from.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' If the sacrifices at Salvation Pass are any indication, the "soul batteries" of old were chunks of charged bloodstone.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Now with all this loose magic, they're using the charged fragments as weapons—and as power sources to heal their "god".
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' We recovered barrels of charged bloodstone fragments from Salvation Pass. I bet they were being transported here.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' And they've managed to use those shards in their weapons. That's my guess at least.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What are your thoughts on Bennett?''
::'''<Character name>:''' How's Bennett doing since the rescue mission?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I'm not sure. I assume he regrouped with his squad and returned to [[Divinity's Reach]] to report on the situation.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I'm glad he's safe now. He seems like a good man, despite his quirks.
::'''<Character name>:''' What do you mean, "quirks?"
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' He's always betting his missing eye! Either he's a lousy gambler, or he took one on the head while held captive.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Or he's making a fashion statement. Hmm.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''How do you create ley lines.''
::'''<Character name>:''' How did you learn to create [[ley line]]s?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Ley lines are just channels of flowing magic. I simply draw the energy together in an effort to redirect it.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' So I don't actually create ley lines—they're already there in a manner of speaking.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' And since magic is in great supply these days...
::'''<Character name>:''' You're able to manipulate it more easily in the [[Maguuma Jungle]]. Nice trick.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Thanks. I'm sure the [[Durmand Priory|Priory]] will be excited to read my [[Glenna's Field Journal|field notes]].
:{{dialogue icon|merchant}} ''What do you have for sale?''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Those words cut deep.''

;After defeating Xera
:I have a few minutes if you want to talk. I also have some supplies if you want to check out my inventory.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Where have you been?''
::'''<Character name>:''' Where have you been?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' While you were dealing with Xera and her ill-tempered illusions, I investigated the courtyard.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' There's all manner of White Mantle propaganda stashed in strange places.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' You may want to poke around there if you haven't already.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Then I heard the ruckus you made by interfering with the ley rifts and bloodstone shard, so I hurried here.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What's in the stasis chamber over there?''
::'''<Character name>:''' What's in the stasis chamber?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' All I can say is that I think we have a problem on our hands.
::'''<Character name>:''' Great.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''I wasn't expecting Xera to put up such a fight.''
::'''<Character name>:''' I wasn't expecting Xera to put up such a fight.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' She was no ordinary mesmer, that's for certain.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' She harnessed more magic than [[Matthias Gabrel|Matthias]] back at Salvation Pass.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' All this tinkering with bloodstone fragments and loose energy is dangerous business.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Magic is becoming more difficult to control. It's behaving in unpredictable ways.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Remember [[Slothasor]]? I wouldn't have imagined such a weird creation under normal circumstances.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' And don't even get me started on what Xera managed to accomplish here.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' How many mesmers can rip apart the very foundation of a castle like this? It's frightening.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' All this mayhem is real, not some magician's trick.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' This castle is in shambles, and I doubt it's going to return to normal anytime soon.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What are your thoughts on Slothasor?''
::'''<Character name>:''' Do you think we'll see any other creatures changed by magic like Slothasor?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' That weird creature back in Salvation Pass? Ugh. Where do I begin...
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' In all my travels I've never seen something quite so freakish.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' It's as if a sloth and a slug had too much wine and awoke the next day with regrets.
::<small>'''(if asura)'''</small>
::'''<Character name>:''' I don't think that's scientifically possible.
::<small>'''(if charr)'''</small>
::'''<Character name>:''' This is Asura humor, right?
::<small>'''(if human)'''</small>
::'''<Character name>:''' Uh... inappropriate!
::<small>'''(if norn)'''</small>
::'''<Character name>:''' How would that even work?
::<small>'''(if sylvari)'''</small>
::'''<Character name>:''' Hmm. Do you think that's actually possible?
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' After he died, he released magic.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Hard to say if the White Mantle experimented on him or the residual magic released by Mordremoth caused him to mutate.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' Either way, I hope not to encounter another.
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' A shame he was killed, though. I bet whoever beat him to death probably feels absolutely terrible. He just wanted a hug!
::'''<Character name>:''' You're not serious, are you?
:{{dialogue icon|merchant}} ''I'd like to browse your inventory.''
::<small>(If you don't have Ley Rift Mastery)</small>
::'''Scholar Glenna:''' I only sell to those knowledgeable on the subject of ley rifts.
