== Dialogue ==
=== During Flame and Frost ===
;During Retribution
:The [[Durmand Priory]] assigned me to chronicle the refugees' stories. The more I learn, the more I ponder. I mean, why did the [[dredge]] and [[Flame Legion]] form an [[Molten Alliance|alliance]]? It's odd, but there are obvious benefits.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Yeah, why are they allied?''
::Well, dredge have a history of being oppressed by [[Dwarf|dwarves]], and the Flame Legion have a history of oppressing...well, everyone. They have other things in common, too, like xenophobia, sexism, and well...evil.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Do you think there's a larger threat forcing them together?''
:::"Enemy of my enemy" and all that? I'm not sure. It's definitely out of character for either of them to reach out to the other, but [[Scarlet Briar|someone]] must have orchestrated the alliance. I have no idea who.
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Maybe the increased numbers is the reason.''
::::That old rationalization, hm? Together, we're stronger? I have to admit that if our evil enemies are figuring that out as well, I'm nervous. This could change everything.
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''I've heard rumors of hybrid weapons.''
:::::Me, too. The [[Vigil]] are reporting that the Flame Legion and the dredge have combined their [[magic]] to create new weaponry that's far more powerful and destructive. If you ask me, that's one valuable perk.
:::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Agreed. Thanks for the information.''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Good point.''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Interesting.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Interesting.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Odd, indeed.''

;With member of the Durmand Priory
:Am I wrong, or is that an intelligent Priory face I recognize? What can I do for you?
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Good day, historian. What brings you here?'' '''(Starts the normal conversation seen above.)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Nothing at the moment.''

=== During Bazaar of the Four Winds ===
:The [[Zephyr Sanctum]]! I've seen cursory mentions of it in scattered texts, and some scholars didn't even think it was real. I can't believe I'm actually standing on it!
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I know how you feel.''

=== During Cutthroat Politics ===
;Before August 5th
:Either [[Captain Ellen Kiel|Captain Kiel]] or [[Evon Gnashblade|Captain Gnashblade]] as a member of the [[Captain's Council]]? I can only imagine the impact that would have around here.
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Yes, it could.''

;After August 5th
:Amazing! Captain Kiel's the new councillor of [[Lion's Arch]]. The Zephyr Sanctum citizens sure seem happy about the treaty as well.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What's next for the new councillor?''
::Let's see. The councillor will be stationed in Lion's Arch, though I'd expect an appearance at the upcoming [[Queen's Jubilee]] in [[Divinity's Reach]]. I'm looking forward to that.
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Maybe I'll make an appearance. Bye.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Indeed.''

=== During [[Tower of Nightmares (release)|Tower of Nightmares]] ===
:This [[Tower of Nightmares (point of interest)|tower]] and the illusion that hid it from us will go down in history. It's quite remarkable on many levels. I've been studying the [[krait]] most of my life, and this is somewhat distressing.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Tell me more.''
::Once upon a time, the krait were a powerful race. They lived in [[Deeps|pillared cities]] far out in the ocean. This changed not long ago, and the krait moved into shallower waters. Since then, they've kept to themselves.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Go on.''
:::Until now. They seem to be excited at the prospect of regaining their power. This can only mean one thing. They believe that their lost Prophets are finally returning.
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Primitive, hm?''
::::Do not underestimate krait intelligence. They're ardent mathematicians and deal in numerology as well as magic. They have priests called [[oratuss]] who hold their culture's traditions in their heads.
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Go on.''
:::::They worship figures they call prophets who gave them the rules by which they live. Though their prophets are long gone, the krait believe they will return.
:::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What's up with these obelisk shards?''
::::::According to krait mythology, their [[Krait Obelisk|obelisks]] will be the vehicles of their prophet' return. These artifacts are said to be enormous, hidden deep underwater, and pulsing with magical energies.
::::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''
:::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What about the [[Nightmare Court]]?''
:::They're [[sylvari]], awakened from the [[Pale Tree]] like all their kind, who've chosen to embrace a darker side of themselves. They're cruel, primarily because they believe the essence of [[Dream of Dreams#The Nightmare|nightmare]] is as important as dream.
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''But why are the Nightmare courtiers here?''
::::They're attracted like sharks to blood, I would imagine. Schemers at heart, they look for ways to inflict pain and suffering. This faction doesn't seem to be entire Nightmare Court itself, but rather an offshoot.
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Go on.''
:::::The Court uses a feudal model for their society. They use noble titles to indicate rank and extent of territory, but not all Nightmare sylvari participate in that social structure. I suspect these courtiers are a fringe group.
:::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Krait?'' '''(same as "Tell me more" above)'''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''

=== During [[The Nightmares Within]] ===
:Anyone who goes inside that thing is braver than I. It's a nest of Nightmare Court on an especially cruel scheme.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Tell me more.'' '''(same as "What about the Nightmare Court?" below.)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the information.''

=== During [[Wintersday 2013|A Very Merry Wintersday]] ===

=== During [[Battle for Lion's Arch]] ===
;For characters who have killed Scarlet
:What news? Has anyone made it all the way to Scarlet yet?
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''I have. She's dead.''
::Bravo! Did you learn anything from the [[Scarlet's End|encounter]]? Were you on the [[The Breachmaker|drill]]? Did you turn it off?
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''I'll file a report later.'' ''
:::Good. And, I've been authorized to inform fellow Priory that Scarlet has found not only a [[ley line]] but an intersection of several. The amount of power flowing beneath Lion's Arch must be unbelievable.
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What do you know of her plans?''
::::We have not yet ascertained her goal. Our early response team is focused entirely on finding a cure or barrier for the [[miasma]]. Saving lives is our number one priority.
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Completely understandable.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Understood.''

;For characters who have not killed Scarlet
:I'm taking a poll. What's your theory about Scarlet's end goal? I've heard quite a few colorful ones.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''I think I'll hold off on saying until I have more information.''
::Where's the fun in that? Perhaps later, you'll feel comfortable telling me. My peers at the Durmand Priory are collecting a list of possibilities.
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Perhaps later.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Perhaps later.''

=== During [[Festival of the Four Winds 2014|Festival of the Four Winds]] ===
:Big news! The Zephyr Sanctum has returned to assist in the relief efforts for Lion's Arch. I'm glad they're here, but the Zephyrites sure are being tight lipped about their next destination.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Where do you think they're headed?''
::It could be literally anywhere. I'd hate to miss their next port call. Maybe I can get on board in some semioffical capacity and travel with them...
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''That would be a fascinating opportunity. Good luck.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'm just glad they're here now. Lion's Arch needs all the help it can get.''
