Ambient dialogue

At the Chantry of Shadows: Order of Shadows Agent (1): It's getting worse. We need more help.; Order of Shadows Agent (2): There's no one else the Order can trust. We're it.; Order of Shadows Agent (1): What about Whispers in Central Tyria?; Order of Shadows Agent (2): They already abandoned Elona once. Why whould we trust them now?; Order of Shadows Agent (2): For all we known, their dragon hunting is what caused this.; Order of Shadows Agent (1): So maybe they're not the most trustworthy, but what else can we do?; Order of Shadows Agent (2): What we always do. We stick together.

Order of Shadows Agent (1): Any progress developing a weapon to fight the Forged?

Order of Shadows Agent (2): Not really. We haven't been able to capture a live one to study.

Order of Shadows Agent (2): They're animated by the power of an actual god.

Order of Shadows Agent (1): That tough, huh?

Order of Shadows Agent (1): That certainly adds a challenge.

Order of Shadows Agent (1): I ran into a fireball-spitting harpy with a magical energy shield while on patrol.

Order of Shadows Agent (2): Is that even possible?

Order of Shadows Agent (1): I've been seeing a lot of weird stuff lately.

Order of Shadows Agent (2): Guess we can add "magic-crazed wildlife" to our list of concerns.

Order of Shadows Agent (1): We're spread too thin. Zula's up north, Issa's running around with ghosts, Kito's out doing gods only know what...

Order of Shadows Agent (1): We should be focusing all our efforts on the Mouth of Torment.

Order of Shadows Agent (2): I hear you, but we're not making any progress.

Order of Shadows Agent (2): We should be trying to find allies. The Order of Shadows can't win this fight alone.

Order of Shadows Agent (1): You know, I joined the Order to combat the Forged, but I never understood what the Mouth of Torment really is.

Order of Shadows Agent (2): It's the primary entrance to the Realm of Torment, where evil souls were once banished by the gods.

Order of Shadows Agent (2): Long ago, Abaddon, the god of secrets, was imprisoned within and corrupted the realm.

Order of Shadows Agent (2): When Abaddon attempted to merge Torment with reality, the Mouth of Torment was created.
