Dialogue[]
"I sometimes forget the courage and vigor of the flesh. The years harden us—make us cold and suspicious. On behalf of my family, I beg your forgiveness. What brings you to our forsaken tomb? Yours is the only living heart that knows our sad tale."
- You're not forgotten. Your descendant, Drelyth Hleran, sent me. "Truly? The Hleran name survives? Then there is hope for our house after all. You must take my spear and deliver it to this Drelyth. As long as a member of my house carries that spear, the strength of the Hleran lives on."
- I'll deliver the spear and your story. Do you want me to tell him anything else? "Yes. Tell him that Ald'ruhn was, is, and forever shall be our home. So long as my house lives in exile, the spirits that haunt this tomb shall never know peace. Drelyth must claim his share of this land."
- The Ashlanders control Ald'ruhn. How should he stake his claim? "The children of ash may have forgotten our name, but they will not have forgotten that spear—the weapon that slew the great Emperor Crab. Their Wise Women and Farseers will know its power. If he brandishes the spear, they will listen."
- I'll deliver the spear and your story. Do you want me to tell him anything else? "Yes. Tell him that Ald'ruhn was, is, and forever shall be our home. So long as my house lives in exile, the spirits that haunt this tomb shall never know peace. Drelyth must claim his share of this land."
