## Dialogue

greet
 Lannon

> It has been my enduring hope that someone would finally bring the book here safely.
>
>

Arbo

> They are lucky to have you. I wish there were other dogs here for you to meet.
>
>

Merewen

> If you were sent to us by the librarian, then you must be connected to us somehow. Perhaps we will find out soon enough.
>
>

Rycard

> You may have entered these caves for reasons unrelated to our goals, but I am glad that you are here.
>
>

Airendal

> It is you! I know you... don't I? I cannot recall...
>
>

Gallitzin

> Welcome to the Shelter friend. If you visit the training grounds you might learn something.
>
>

Shione

> It would be something special to hear music in these halls. I imagine there once was, long ago.
>
>

Bhulown

> A Scaphin? I did not expect to lay eyes upon one of your kind in such circumstances as this. Welcome.
>
>

Dimas

> There is something about you... a glow. I have seen it on those that have touched death and escaped narrowly.
>
>

Laszra

> I can hardly believe that it is you. I thought that you were lost to us. Our mission must continue.
>
>

job

> I have worked to gather as many people to this place as possible. I was the first one here, as far as I can remember. I suppose you could say I am a recruiter or sorts.
> I also manage the supplies and make sure everything is running well. It may not be as glamorous as some of the other jobs here, but without it this place would fall back into ruin.
>
>

fog

> We do not understand it, for the most part. We must find out more. Perhaps there are writings... or... anything. Forgive me, there is so little we know and so much to learn.
>  I have spent less time in the fog than anyone here, and yet I still have lost many memories.
>
>

book

> Some are important, some are not. What matters more is whether anyone can read them, and most cannot. Some ability was preserved in this place, but much has been lost, both memory and ability.
> The town above is full of people, and I suspect not a single one of them can read anymore. This cursed loss of memory... I believe we will lift it, somehow.
>
>

Emerisk

> It sits above us. How far I cannot say, but we are almost directly below it. And above it actually. Callor says that the town was founded ages ago. It has built up over time from the ruins below us.
>
>

Agmarians

> You have heard these legends? They betrayed mankind in ages past. I do wonder though... knowing the heart of man, is that really how it happened or do we decieve ourselves?
>
>

Renault

> A long family line with a history of honor and bravery. I believe there is still at least one Renault still living in Emerisk. Perhaps they follow the family legacy.
>
>

caves

> I believe these caves are more than just natural formations. There is power flowing through them, and this place appears to feed on it. It is what powers these strange lights.
>
>

graveyard

> Graveyards are places of rest and peace. They can bring sorrow, but also remind us of things we love. At least they should. Dark spirits sometimes find them and corrupt those that rest.
> I have limited experience, but I read a book that the librarian had once that talked about how the dead are raised into an unholy existence.
>
>

Goblins

> I encountered them when I fled to this place. I was almost overrun when I found some markings scratched into the ground. They did not pursue me further. I believe the markings were of arcane origin.
>
>

Scaphin

> I have never seen one, but there were sighting in Emerisk from time to time. Usually they keep to swamps and damp places.
>
>

librarian

> If she knows of the book then she is our last hope, along with you. If you can bring her the book perhaps we will find a way to stop the memory loss. Whether or not we can reverse it is another question entirely.
>
>

silver

> These caves are full of it, but I am not an expert in metals. Occasionally I will find something made from it. I give some of the artifacts I find to others down here, but they become lost again when those people venture out of the Shelter and do not return.
>
>

corundum

> It does not sound familiar, but if it is a real thing it can likely be found here.
>
>

exit

> There is an exit on the cliffs to the east, above the reservoir of energy. I cannot recall how I know this, but it can only be opened with the spoken word "@3@". It is old magic, from before this place fell into ruin. It would not surprise me if there are many more secrets to this place.
> We entered here from the south, but it was too dangerous so we locked the door. I will not open it until the outside is clear. I cannot risk this place falling to the evil things that have infested the halls outside.
>
>

dark lord

> Before any of us were born there was a king who ruled over the entire face of Solmaria. Even the moons bent to his power. I do not know where he came from, or in fact, if this dark lord was even a man. The texts that I possess do not say where he came from.
> Rumors were that he was immortal; some kind of god, or demigod. None know for sure, except perhaps the librarian that we seek.
>  His power was so great that he ruled all the lands. But even in this strength he was not all knowing. Good men and women rose up to challenge him.
> At last they defeated him, and he has been gone from this world ever since. You bring troubling news of dark power beneath us. Even if this is all that remains of him, it still contains his will and follows his purposes.
> You should seek out the library in town. Perhaps some of the librarian's books contain more information on this subject. Any light shed on this may help to stop this calamity that eats away at our minds.
>
>

energy

> It is drawn to the surface by various obelisks. I do not understand it fully. Kazimar insists it is purely evil. I am unsure, but caution is a good course of action.
> Such an energy source is unlikely to be natural. Whatever it is, it is dangerous.
>
>

Kalindraur

> This place shelters us from the evil that drains our memories. A power greater than the greatest evil... that is a comforting thought.
>
>

keystone

> And you say this stone reacted to the slaying of that creature? Fascinating. Perhaps it was a test of strength? I will study this. In the meantime, ask some of the others here.
>
>

Codex

> There was someone, before me... the memory is faint. I recall them telling me that the book saw deep into a persons soul. I do not know how a book is capable of such a thing, but I believe the one weilding the book matters. We will not attempt to take it from you.
>
>

tombstone

> A tombstone with my name on it? When I first arrived here I could not recall my own name, so I searched the town archives of the deceased, and picked this one. It seemed fitting at the time. I am sorry to have caused any confusion.
> Many of the tombstones hold clues to family lineage and arcane secrets. I remember seeing a book of lineages once, but I cannot remember where it went.
>
