Yayake 	Welcome to the Thaumaturges' Guild. It is fate that has guided your steps here, friend.
Yayake 	Within these hallowed halls, the arts of devastation are taught─primeval magicks with which to bring about an enemy's ruin.
Yayake 	If you would join our ranks and wield the power of thaumaturgy, I urge you to seize this moment and confide in me your arcane ambitions.
 	
Yayake 	Your denial is most unsettling!
Yayake 	Ah, but I see the stars were not yet aligned. Your time will come, and I shall be waiting.
 	
Yayake 	...I fear my words of destiny and desire were spoken in haste. Your aura bespeaks a certain...unpreparedness, as if your spirit is reluctant to abandon a path yet freshly begun.
Yayake 	Pray continue down that path until a fork presents itself. Perhaps the choice you then make shall lead you back to the gates of thaumaturgy.
 	
Yayake 	Yes. There truly was no other answer, was there? Lean closer now, and I shall whisper to you of thaumaturgy's beginnings.
Yayake 	The nation of Ul'dah inherited its traditions from ancient Belah'dia, a city founded by the descendants of the first mages.
Yayake 	The secrets of these illustrious sorcerers were ultimately entrusted to the priests of the Order of Nald'thal, who have passed them down from generation to generation ever since.
Yayake 	Focused and refined over centuries of use in the Order's funereal rites, the arcane magicks of our ancestors eventually emerged as the art we now know as thaumaturgy.
Yayake 	A freezing blizzard to halt corruption; a raging fire to cleanse the corpse; a bolt of lightning to expel the sins of mortal life... The dweomers employed in the preparation of the dead are equally efficacious when applied to the living.
Yayake 	Thus does our guild thrive in the depths of Arrzaneth Ossuary─a sanctuary devoted to Thal, the divine arbiter of the afterlife.
Yayake 	What say you, then, adventurer? If you would plumb the abyssal depths of thaumaturgy, let our learned sages guide your descent!
Yayake 	Ah, but before you leap into the darkness, you must prove to our guildmasters that you are possessed of the spiritual fortitude necessary to look upon that which waits therein.
Yayake 	When you are ready to submit to the judgment of our most eminent mages, say the word.
