Ambient dialogue

The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Champion's Dawn.

Priest Sazeer: Eh, propaganda doesn’t need to be persuasive, just pervasive. Wears you down over time.

Elder Priest: His Corpsyiness thinks breaking our wills is the “cost effective” strategy to shut us up and get us back to mining.

Priest Sazeer: Joko’s no ruler. If anyone complains, it’s the lash or the cage for them—if they’re lucky. What kind of person rules that way?

Priest Sazeer: Complain too loud, and you end up in the ground. Or worse. People are ready for a change, but they can’t do much from those cages.

Priest Sazeer: Get them an early release, so to speak, and I expect they’ll be all ears when it’s time to talk about improving our government.

Priest Sazeer: Balthazar’s war made resources scarce. Islands are the first to feel that sort of shortage.

Priest Sazeer: Zaeim couldn’t stand to watch Joko’s lapdogs gorge themselves while good, hardworking women and men starved.

Priest Sazeer: He started this rebellion for us. He could’ve stayed hidden, could’ve ignored our suffering...

Priest Sazeer: But he didn’t. The Hero of Istan has shown us that good people can’t sit idly by while evil ones threaten the innocent.

Priest Sazeer: He’s young, but he’s everything a Sunspear should be: a champion of the oppressed, who knows peace without justice is surrender.
