;If [[charr]]
:Hello. I'm Ilaria Hammersteel, official [[Iron Legion]] historian. My orders are to share the officially sanctioned history of the [[Foefire]] with all who pass by.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''I never get tired of hearing that story. Fire away.''
::The events that led up to the Foefire go back hundreds of years to the first [[Human-charr conflict|war]] between us and the [[human]]s.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''When the trouble all began.''
:::For generations, humans drove us further and further from our homeland. The endless setbacks divided the [[High Legion|legions]]. [[Shaman caste|Fire shamans]] took advantage of the chaos and slowly usurped power.
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Yeah, things went from bad to worse.''
::::The shamans claimed that the only way to defeat the humans was to worship the [[gww:Titan|fire god]]. When we did, the tide of the war turned. We began reclaiming the land humans had plundered.
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''And then?''
:::::The human king, [[King Adelbern|Adelbern]], stubbornly refused to surrender. The humans retreated back within the walls of [[Ascalon City Ruins|Ascalon City]]. For thirty years, they held it. Until finally, they fell.
:::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''The tide had turned.''
::::::The desperate, doomed human king used treacherous [[magic]]—the Foefire—to slaughter us. But is also transformed the Ascalonians into a ghastly army of [[Ascalonian ghost|ghosts]]. Those ghosts hold the city wall to this day.
::::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''It was a dark day for all of [[Tyria]].''
:::::::And now, the legions dedicate themselves to glorious defeat of the Adelbern and the ghosts of Ascalon, when we'll be able to, at last, reclaim the land that is rightfully ours.
:::::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''We all look forward to that day.''
::::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I know the rest. Good-bye.''
:::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Sorry, I should've gone to the bathroom before the story started. Good-bye.''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''We all know that story by heart. Don't waste your time.''
::As I said, my orders are to tell the story of Foefire to everyone. Should I summon the couple of legion guards to help fulfill my orders?
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Okay, I guess I can spare a few minutes. Go ahead.'' '''(Same as "The events that led up to..." above)'''
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Are you threatening me if I don't listen to your history lesson?''
:::As old saying goes, "Those who ignore history are doomed to death by [[devourer]]."
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Fine. Just tell me about Foefire.'' '''(Same as "The events that led up to..." above)'''
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''I'm not ignoring history. I'm ignoring you.''
::::Oh, come on. Humor me.
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''You wore me down. Tell me about Foefire.'' '''(Same as "The events that led up to..." above)'''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''No. Good-bye.''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Maybe some other time. So long.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Now I really have no interest in hearing about the Foefire again. Bye.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I don't have time to hear it right now. Good-bye.''

;If [[human]]
:Hello. I'm Ilaria Hammersteel, official Iron Legion historian. My orders are to share the officially sanctioned history of the Foefire with all who pass by.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''From the charr point of view? Yes, go ahead.''
::The events that lead up to the Foefire go back hundreds of years to the first war between my people and yours.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''The beginning of our winning streak.''
:::For generations, you humans drove us further and further from our homelands. The endless setbacks divided our legions. Flame shamans took advantage of the chaos and slowly usurped power.
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Were the shamans really that bad?''
::::The shamans claimed that the only way to defeat you humans was to worship their fire god. When we did, the tide of the war turned, and we began reclaiming the land you had plundered.
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''And then?''
:::::Your King Adelbern stubbornly refused to surrender. We drove your people back into Ascalon City. For thirty years, they cowered inside as they held the walls. Until the day came when they fell.
:::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''But it wasn't over.''
::::::Your desperate, mad king used treacherous magic—the Foefire—to slaughter my people. Unfortunately for your people, it also transformed them into a ghastly army of ghosts. Those ghosts hold the city walls to this day.
::::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''It was a dark day for all of Tyria.''
:::::::And now, we must defeat Adelbern and the ghosts of Ascalon. Then, at last, all things can return to the way they should be.
:::::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''We'll see what happens after we all defeat the ghosts. Good-bye.''
::::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
:::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I don't have time to hear it right now. Good-bye.''

;If asura, norn or sylvari
:Hello. I'm Ilaria Hammersteel, official Iron Legion historian. My orders are to share the officially sanctioned history of the Foefire with all who pass by.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''By all means. Tell me the story.''
::For generations, humans drove us further and further from our homelands. The endless setbacks divided the legions. Flame shamans took advantage of the chaos and slowly assumed power.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What did the shamans do once they were in control?''
:::The shamans claimed that the only way to defeat the humans was to worship their fire gods. When we did, the tide of the war turned, and we began reclaiming the land the humans had plundered.
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What happened next?''
::::The human king, Adelbern, stubbornly refused to surrender. We drove the humans back into Ascalon City. For thirty years they cowered inside as they held the walls. Until the day came when they fell.
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What did the humans do?''
:::::The desperate, mad king used treacherous magic—the Foefire—to slaughter the charr. His spell also transformed the Ascalonians into a ghastly army of ghosts. Those ghosts hold the city walls to this day.
:::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Are you resigned to this fate?''
::::::No. Someday, we'll find a way to defeat Adelbern and the ghosts of Ascalon. And then, we'll finally reclaim all of our rightful land.
::::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'm certain all here in Tyria anxiously await that day. Good-bye.''
:::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Sorry, I should've gone to the bathroom before the story started. Good-bye.''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I have to go. Good-bye.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I don't have time to hear it right now. Good-bye.''
