Ambient dialogue

Around a campfire south of Harvest Plots: Ashmaker: My little cubs, who can tell me the story of the Claw that lead his bearkin away from the dragonstorm?; Restless Fawn: Oh, me! I can!; Ashmaker: Go ahead, Restless Fawn. Tell us your tale.; Restless Fawn: Long, long ago, there was a Claw just like ours. He led almost all of the bearkin all by himself!; Ashmaker: All by himself?; Restless Fawn: Well, not all by himself. He had the help of his mate, the Voice. He loved her a lot.; Restless Fawn: But the Claw faced a great challenge, he did. The Elder Dragons woke up, and a big storm came.; Restless Fawn: The bearkin were all stuck in their caves, and the Claw didn't know what to do. His mate was troubled by something.; Restless Fawn: And one day, she went missing. But there was also a break in the storm!; Restless Fawn: Just a quick one! And the Claw had a really tough choice to make: wait for his Voice, or lead his people somewhere safer.; Blessed by Waves: What did he choose?; Restless Fawn: The bearkin, of course. He missed his mate so much, but he knew that if they stayed...they might die. So he brought them here.; Ashmaker: And here we have lived ever since. Wonderful, Restless Fawn. An ashmaker you will be.; Ashmaker: Some of the bearkin left over time—many went to Orr to follow their...own paths. But many of us stayed.; Ashmaker: Right here. Tucked away in nature.

Around Harvest Plots: Kodan Cub: I don't get why Frantic Hummingbird is making such a fuss.; Kodan Cub: You've just got to taste the soil to know which veggies will grow best.; Kodan Cub: If it tastes sour, then carrots and potatoes will be so happy.; Kodan Cub: If it's bitter, then pumpkins and tomatoes are the way to go!

Villager (1): A bit light this year, the harvest. S'pose the season's still young.

Villager (2): Friend of mine up north says the crop's grown in a bit patchy. Sounds like they're getting hit with some mean storms.

Villager (2): Doubt it's anything worth worrying about. Besides, we've got plenty stored for the deep freeze already.

Villager (1): I should get started on that myself. Cooking's the last thing I'll feel like doing midtorpor.

Villager (1): (chuckles)

Villager (2): (chuckles)

South of Wry Lichen's House: Seething Sinter: Snowborn, you're not headed to the ridge, are you?; Snowborn: I was, but worry touches your eyes. What is it?; Seething Sinter: The cubs have been sharing a story among themselves. About a creature near the ridge. They call it the "Slithering Cub Eater."; Snowborn: Slithering Cub Eater? A tale, I'm sure. You know better than to believe the cubs, Sinter.; Seething Sinter: I do, but I heard a cry on a moonbound hunt. I didn't see the beast, but I caught its shadow—slid right out of sight.; Snowborn: Mm. Maybe I'll craft a few more arrows, then...

North of Wry Lichen's House: Kodan Cub (1): My paw told us that he heard some bees buzzing near the fishing village, coming from below the dirt!; Kodan Cub (2): Your paw's imagining things. Bees can't dig!; Kodan Cub (1): Nuh-uh! My paw's not a liar!; Kodan Cub (2): Uh-huh! I've only ever seen bees in trees! Underground bees sound silly.; Kodan Cub (1): I'm going to find them and prove you wrong!

On the stairs west of Bonfire Lodge: Smiling Fox: We should join the dance tonight, don't you think?; Bitter Olive: I don't know... What if Twig is there? What if I trip? What if I trip and Twig sees me trip?; Smiling Fox: Oh, who cares about Twig. And you won't trip! Not if I'm your dancing partner.; Bitter Olive: Well, you're the best dancer. I'd just get in your way.; Smiling Fox: Shush, you. Let's go practice in the garden. Have your footwork up to speed in no time, we will.

In Bonfire Lodge: Kodan Cub: And then, if the valravn finds a corpse, it pecks its heart right out! Cub hearts are their favorite.; Kodan Cub: If it eats one, it turns into a knight! Drinking blood and channeling darkness and—; Astral Ward Protector: A-and this creature is from a children's tale?; Kodan Cub: Uh-huh. So we remember not to go to the cliffs alone.; Kodan Cub: Brave, you newcomers are. You go alone to all sorts of scary places us kodan never would. Like the bog—; Astral Ward Protector: E-excuse me, I need to make a call to my superior...

Near the scout at the Bonfire Lodge: Villager (1): Are you sure you want to go with the sky watchers? You can ensure our safety better from here.; Villager (2): Sit and wait, I cannot. The sky watchers fought the strangers with us. They tended to our wilds. To us.; Villager (1): They deserve my spear, and I lend it with no hesitation.

In Denning Forge: Crafter: Now, you want wood that's sturdy but flexible. That's why we get it from saplings.; Crafter: Too hard and it cracks when you work it. Too soft and it bends and warps. Won't do any good then.; Apprentice Crafter: Oh, I see... Is that why we have that clearing with all the little trees?; Crafter: Exactly. All right, now let's take a quick break. Then we'll get back to binding the spearhead.

Hardy Paws: Heading out again, fresh claws? You have that look in your eye.

Sure Footing: Soon. My foraging has yielded very little so far.

Sure Footing: Heard tell of glass stones and petrified wood along the western coast; proper accents for a first spear.

Hardy Paws: Good. Good! When you return, bring me what you've found.

Hardy Paws: Certain I have a few ingots and baubles lying around to add to your materials, if you'd like.

Sure Footing: Hardy Paws, I—

Hardy Paws: Proud your kin would be, were they still here. It's the least I can do.

Outside Denning Forge, slightly east of the vista: Villager (1): Surely they don't expect us to share the torpor harvest? The snow hasn't even arrived; we won't have enough!; Villager (2): Fine, we will be. And some of our own have joined them across the waves. Do we let them starve, as they fight for our lands?; Villager (1): Hrum. We do not.

Northwest of Bearpaw Fields: Astral Ward Protector: I'll bet you've hunted all manner of ferocious beasts, with those big, burly arms.; Villager: I, er, well... I tend to the village, mostly. Cart what needs cartin'. Keep stores full. Look after the ducks.; Villager: Like ducks.; Astral Ward Protector: O-oh...; Villager: I-if you want, I could maybe...show you 'round where we feed 'em?; Astral Ward Protector: Oh!

South of Fading Aurora's House: Babbling Brook: The falls near Harvest Den are the best there are. The power of the one to the right, and the gentle flow of the left.; Misty Falls: No. No! The one upstream from the fishing hamlet. Hearing the crash of the logs as they tumble down... Ah.; Babbling Brook: Well, what about the one in the village? It's the only one you can bathe under. And it has a cave.; Misty Falls: Wait, no... Perhaps we are both wrong. The falls near the hot springs!; Babbling Brook: Of course.

Around Stoic Alder's House (During the day at xx:20 only): Carping Gaze: Typical. No seasonal decor, small firewood pile. You'd think with Poised Arrow living here...; Carping Gaze: Meager garden offerings, too.; Carping Gaze: Porch is unswept. Filthy. (sighs) Tundra take me.; Carping Gaze: Fence is unfinished, too. Embarrassing this is, as his neighbor.; Carping Gaze: Maybe he'll sort it out if I craft him a nice gate?; Carping Gaze: A potted tree? In such a small vase? Dark sorcery this must be! What has this village come to?

Northwest of Sleuth Brawlfields: Villager (1): Do not be foolish. Barbed Vale trains every day; our Claw is tough, but he no longer needs to fight.; Villager (2): Just because he does not fight does not mean the skill is not still there, buried deep, waiting.; Villager (1): The strength is there; cannot deny that. But without use, a spearhead rusts, the wood corrodes, the water stagnates.; Villager (2): You forget, the Claw knows what Vale can do.; Villager (2): She knows little about what power is waiting in the gentle river, not seeing the falls just around the bend.

In the spectator stands at Sleuth Brawlfields, after Prove your mettle to Barbed Vale has completed and when the timer to the next event reaches 2:20: Kodan Spectator (1): You see Barbed Vale just now? Brutal!; Kodan Spectator (2): (sighs) Wish that was me.

In front of the Convergence: Mount Balrior portal (1 minute before the Convergences portal open): Kodan Cub: Shh, quiet!; Stoic Alder: Let me tell you a story. One the ashmakers will weave for to come.; Stoic Alder: The day the wayfinder and I crawled to the top of Mount; Kodan Cub: (gasps); Kodan Cub: Dangerous, it is.; Stoic Alder: Indeed. It is a story of allies, pitted against unrelenting; Stoic Alder: The fight for survival.; Stoic Alder: The tools we used to carve out legend.; Kodan Cub: Wow.; Stoic Alder: The sting of betrayal, when affection has just begun to bud.; Kodan Cub: So, what happens?; Stoic Alder: Well ...; Stoic Alder: The wayfinder took the first step. (Followed by Convergence: Mount Balrior#Dialogue)

East of Harvest Den Waypoint: Curious Dunesnake: What... is this tool?; Wexx: This, my furry friend, is a waypoint! It is a device commonly used to... Ah...; Morning Light: Lift your voice, small one. We cannot hear you.; Wexx: Well, it allows you to travel great distances quite quickly.; Morning Light: Magic, it is?; Wexx: Yes, and I know that might be a bit daunting to your people, but I promise that even you can reap the benefits.; Curious Dunesnake: Hm.; Wexx: Should you need to reach the fishing village with great haste... you can! In an instant.; Curious Dunesnake: What about the hunting lodge?; Wexx: Yes! I believe we did set one up at the far outpost, yes. It's quite exciting.

At the Flowering Meadow's house after completing the Star-Crossed Lovers achievement.: Flowering Meadow: Oh, you silly bear, you've got burrs in your fur again. Let me get those for you, dear.; Winter Sky: Thank you, flower. The plant life here seems to attach to me a lot.; Flowering Meadow: Who wouldn't want to be attached to you?

West of Sleuth Brawlfields: Kodan Cub: But, Paaaaaw! If Dawndrift can go to the isles, I can too!; Kodan Cub: Maw said I've got a stronger ocean stomach than her, too. I didn't get sick once last ride.; Villager: Hrum, your seafaring heart may be strong, but you've not made your first spear yet.; Kodan Cub: But, I—; Villager: There are scary beasts where your sister is. One day, you'll be strong enough to join her, but not today.; Kodan Cub: (shrugs) Fine...
