== Ambient dialogue ==
;Between Amoxtli, Savio and Kitabu.
:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''So you're both from [[Divinity's Reach]]. Were you there when [[Scarlet Briar|Scarlet]] attacked your city?''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Yeah. I was there for the [[Queen's Jubilee]].''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''I wasn't home, but I lost a cousin in her attack on the pavilion.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''Someone very special to me was killed when [[Lion's Arch]] fell.''
:'''Explorer Saviio''': ''If she wasn't dead, I would've assumed that Scarlet was behind this [[Zephyrites|Zephyrite]] mess, too.''

:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''Why do you think [[Steward Gixx]] chose the three of us to explore region?''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''I just assumed he was trying to get rid of us.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''I don't think so. The steward has always been good to me.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''Savio was kidding.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''I was? Oh! I mean, of course I was.''

:'''Explorer Savio''': ''What do you make of these [[centaur]]s? You figure we can trust them?''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''They aren't what I was expecting. Generations ago, [[gw1:Maguuma centaur|this region's centaurs]] were hostile.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''Their [[Ehrgen Cragstrider|chieftain]] claims to follow ancient traditions that predate even [[Ventari]]. I enjoyed talking with him.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''This [[Maguuma|tribe]] is an important find. We could get enough material from them to publish a lifetime of papers.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Guess it could be a lot worse, then.''

:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''There's something about [[human]]s I don't understand.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''(snort) This should be interesting.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''Quiet. Go on, Amoxtli.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''Each morning I see my god rise in the east and set in the west. I feel [[Zintl]]'s warmth on my skin...''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''Oh, I see. You're wondering how we feel about the remoteness of our [[Six Human Gods|gods]]?''
:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''That's it, exactly. I read that they used to be more present in your lives?''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''They still are. We feel their blessings every day. They lend is their strength, their power.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''I...think I understand now. Thank you.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''(laugh) In that case, maybe you can explain it to me.''

:'''Explorer Savio''': ''What do you two think? Should we turn back, brief Gixx on what we've seen?''
:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''The steward sent us to explore, and there's still more to discover out here.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''We need to learn as much as we can about these lost places. Who knows what could be important?''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''I guess it's decided, then. We press on, find out what we can.''

:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''How is it that your tribes were ever able to unite in one great nation?''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''It's not as if we had any choice.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Our other...tribes were cut off long ago, and [[Kryta]]'s been under attack from all sides for generations.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''I grew up generations removed from [[Cantha|my tribe]].''

:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''Shouldn't we talk about what [[Mordrem|those things]] were that destroyed the town, or where all these vines are coming from?''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Pretty obvious what we're dealing with.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtli''': ''Yes. I grew up under constant attack by the [[Risen]]. I know dragon minions when I see them.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''The steward had his suspicions. That's why he sent us out here. It's one thing to discuss theories, but...''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''[[Tyria]]'s in trouble again. And we're headed right into the teeth of that trouble.''

:'''Explorer Savio''': ''I notice your notes are all full of doodles in the margins. Some of them aren't bad.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''You read my field notes?''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Yeah, it wasn't easy, either. You always carry that book around with you, so I had to wait until you were sleeping.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''That's...You really thought my sketches weren't bad?''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''What can I say? I like a book with pictures in it.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtlii''': ''Well, I think it's nice that you keep a journal, Kitabu.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''(laugh) Dear Diary, Savio was mean to me again today...''
:'''Explorer Amoxtlii''': ''(laugh)''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''You really did read it!''

:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''Sometimes I wonder if I joined the right [[order]].''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''A bookworm like you? (laugh) I can't imagine you without access to the Priory library stacks.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''It's just...those stories about [[Order of Whispers]] agents having their own secret ways of getting around...
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''At least half of what you hear about them is rumour they spread to make themselves sound more spooky.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtlii''': ''What would you do if you could go anywhere you wanted?''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''I have some ideas, believe me.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''(laugh) Maybe you would fit in with those creeps after all.''

:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''It's a good thing you taught us those [[Aspect|Zephyrite skills]]. We would have never made it out this far.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Ah, you two would have picked them up. Those poor people and their [[magic]] crystal splinters are scattered all over this wasteland.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtlii''': ''Their [[Zephyr Sanctum|flying ship]] must have been gigantic. What a waste. So many wonders senselessly destroyed.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''In your interviews with crash survivors, did either of you get the impression they were hiding something?''
:'''Explorer Amoxtlii''': ''What could those people have to hide? Everything they had is lost in these sands. They have nothing now.''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''That's just it, though. I feel like they had something else beside these crystals we've been helping them recover. Something they don't want to share.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Something like what?''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''I'm not sure. Think about it, though. Why was the [[sylvari]] saboteur chasing after their [[Master of Peace]] down here on the ground?''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''What if their master took [[Glint's Egg|something]] away from the crash? Something the saboteur wanted to get his hands on?''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Or maybe he just wanted to finish the job. He wasn't right in his mind, remember.''

:'''Explorer Savio''': ''You hear Scarlet found a [[ley line]] hub out here in [[Dry Top]], long before she tore up Lion's Arch looking for another one?''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''No!''
:'''Explorer Amoxtlii''': ''What's a ley line hub?''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''There's an old idea that currents of magic run under and all over Tyria. Where the streams cross, those locations hum with power.''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''They say Scarlet was trying to map those currents with the probes she set up everywhere.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtlii''': ''If there are rivers of magic connecting Lion's Arch with this place, and then further west...''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''That must be why everyone heard the dragon's roar from this direction where her drill made contact under the bay.''

:'''Explorer Savio''': ''What'd you say those huge trees were called that used to grow in the [[Maguuma Jungle|Maguuma]]? Stone somethings?''
:'''Explorer Kitabu''': ''[[gw1:Stonewood|Stonewoods]]. Did you do any research at all before we set out across Dry Top?''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Of course I did!''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Okay, no. I like to pick things up as I go.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtlii''': ''The sylvari legends say the tallest stonewood in the jungle grew in [[gw1:Ventari's Refuge|Ventari's Refuge]].''
:'''Explorer Savio''': ''Wonder if it could still be there. Hard to picture jungle after weeks in all this sand.''
:'''Explorer Amoxtlii''': ''I can barely remember the color green.''
