Lyse 	I know, I know, I probably should've left the talking to everyone else...
 	
Hien 	Pretentious and preening he may be, but doubt not that he is a warrior. You saw the axe by his throne...and the rage in his eyes.
 	
Gosetsu 	Favor, tribute...how easily the language of tyrants tumbles from this khan's lips.
 	
Baatu 	Warriors of the Steppe! By the grace of our most radiant brother, you will not die this day, but instead be granted an opportunity to contribute to our cause.
Baatu 	Rejoice, for this is a great honor indeed. Serve well, and you will be rewarded.
Lyse 	Question! You keep calling Magnai your “most radiant brother.” You're not related or something, are you?
Baatu 	...All Oronir are descendants of Father Azim. But if you mean to ask if our mothers are one and the same, then no. The most radiant is the elder brother to we younger─the strongest and most deserving of respect.
Baatu 	No more interruptions! Your duties are as follows.
Baatu 	You, the red woman. You will milk our beasts. To grow strong, one must be well fed, and we have great need of kumis and cheese.
Lyse 	...Is that it? I mean, I'm not happy about all this, but I suppose I can go along for now.
Baatu 	You, the one who lumbers as a mountain... Hm. An old warrior, I see. We have arms and armor in need of repair. Go and speak with our menders.
Gosetsu 	I have no talent for delicate work, but if that is your wish, then so be it.
Baatu 	You, the insolent fool. As for you─
Daidukul 	This one carries the fire. The Buduga would take his measure.
Daidukul 	Seek my comrade outside tending to the stores. He will give you your task. You will know him by his cloth─unlike they of the yellow, we are of the green.
Hien 	I, for one, would welcome the opportunity to learn more of the Buduga and their ways. It would be an honor!
Baatu 	...We shall speak of your task outside. With me.
 	
Baatu 	Your name, foreigner?
Baatu 	...[Player Name], then. You are to dive into Azim Khaat, below the Dawn Throne, and gather swordgrass from the lakebed.
Baatu 	It is an invaluable ingredient in many medicines. Eight bundles will you bring.
Baatu 	You will need to dive deep to obtain that which you seek...but that shall pose no trouble for a true warrior, no?
Baatu 	Some say that the dominion of the Dawn Father and the Dusk Mother does not extend beneath the water. But ours does. Indeed, the Oronir fear naught above nor below.
Baatu 	Speak with the guard to descend. We shall speak again when you have finished.
 	
Thedawnthroneupperkeeper	Yes, yes, I know who you are. You wish to go below?
 	
Baatu 	She/He returns, and with swordgrass in hand?
Baatu 	...That you would immerse yourself in the depths is a testament to your bravery. Well done.
Baatu 	Lest you wonder, we will use it to prepare potions to induce paralysis. In the Naadam, we must use every means at our disposal to delay our foes.
Baatu 	He who inscribes his deeds upon the sacred ground shall be declared the victor. However, none may know this place until the Gharl have scattered the soil.
Baatu 	It matters not. We shall be swift as stallions and fierce as baras. The Steppe will be ours once more!
Baatu 	Your tribute is accepted. We will return to the most radiant, and you may beg a boon.
 	
Hien 	Ah, there you are. The others have yet to return.
 	
Baatu 	To approach the most radiant still sullied by the depths is an insult. Dry yourself.
 	
Magnai 	...Am I to understand you have completed your tasks?
Hien 	I know not what yours was, but mine was surprisingly simple.
Hien 	They bade me carry various goods and sundries from storehouse to storehouse. Alas, it was difficult to learn much with all the Buduga swarming around me...
Magnai 	You dove deep into the waters to harvest swordgrass? I see. That is well.
Hien 	Most radiant brother Magnai, we have given you tribute, as demanded. Were we to beg leave to depart with our comrades, would you consent?
Magnai 	We never intended to press you into our service, and tribute offered in good faith cannot be denied. To grant you naught in return would be an affront to Father Azim.
Magnai 	However, the boon must be proportional to the supplications. What you ask far exceeds what you have earned.
Hien 	...Then if we must remain here, would you at least permit us to learn more of your people and your ways?
Hien 	Temulun Khatun taught me but a fraction, you see...
Hien 	How this world born of the gods was to be their battlefield, their creations to fight in their stead.
Hien 	How Azim, Father of the Dawn, he who birthed the sun, and Nhaama, Mother of the Dusk, she who birthed the moon, made the Au Ra...
Hien 	Yet though these children warred for a time, eventually they laid down their arms and came to love one another. And so the gods bequeathed this world to their children, and ascended to the heavens whence they came.
Hien 	Those born of the Dawn Father were called the Raen, and those born of the Dusk Mother were called the Xaela. So it was and ever after.
Hien 	But I say to you, Brother Magnai─how can this be? How can Oronir be the children of Azim, if they are Xaela born of Nhaama?
Magnai 	...You amuse me, Doman. How you wield your ignorance as a weapon.
Magnai 	Very well. I bid you speak with our elders and learn the truth of this world.
