## Dialogue

greet
 Lannon

> It is good to find others who can read. For me, the hardest part of this calamity may be my intellectual isolation.
> I don't mean to say that others are not smart. Only that they have lost what they once had.
>
>

Arbo

> For an animal you are quite intelligent. I wonder... has the calamity affected you as well, or do you remember everything?
>
>

Merewen

> When you have time I would be interested in recording your experiences in this cave.
>
>

Rycard

> I wonder how long you were down here. Time loses meaning when your memories begin to fade.
>
>

Airendal

> You are a fairy, yes? I have worked with your kind before. But I cannot recall any more about it. Though much of my memory is retained I still lost many precious things.
>
>

Gallitzin

> Strength itself is not noble, but a will to use it for good is a powerful force. I am glad to be in this with you.
>
>

Shione

> Play me something, please. It has been.... I do not even know how long... since I last heard music.
>
>

Bhulown

> Your presence here is proof of theories long held. Outward appearance is deceiving, as always.
>
>

Dimas

> You are not from this land, I can tell. Your clothing stirs my memory, but I cannot keep the thoughts in place.
>
>

Laszra

> Quay, old friend. You always did have a stone cold sense of humor.
>
>

job

> I am a scribe. I record things for posterity. I am certain that one day all of this will be read in stories. Yes, I am certain that we will succeed... now that you are here.
> I also sell the occasional trinket.
>
>

fog

> We do not yet understand it, and that frightens me. Something with the power to rob us of our memories, perhaps? It gives me the shivers.
>
>

book

> As a scribe, I am a student of writing. I feel as though I have taken the brunt of this calamity, from a professional perspective.
>
>

Emerisk

> The town above us; a fine town it is. Full of mostly good people. At least, that is my memory of it. I do not even know if I lived there, to be honest. I barely remember finding my way here. I would not have, if it weren't for Naira.
>
>

Agmarians

> I have read of these in our library here. They are some kind of serpent men. A creation of the dark lord, one might think, but this is not so. They appear to be as old as mankind, or older. The things I could learn from them... assuming they are not also afflicted by this curse.
>
>

Renault

> A Renault built this place that we now occupy. To what end we are not entirely sure. It has power, like the book. It is likely the two are linked, somehow.
> The Renault family is still around. There may even be descendants in Emerisk.
>
>

caves

> A wealth of knowledge lies here. I do not mean only in this shelter, but even in the winding depths. Much history has transpired here, and Callor and I are determined to unearth whatever we can.
>
>

graveyard

> We have cleaned this shelter a great deal. However... it was not unlike a graveyard when we arrived. I did not enjoy the experience of cleaning it out.
> Some of the bodies had to be tossed into the abyss. I do hope that our actions will not be seen as desecration, but rather necessity. It still haunts my dreams.
>
>

Goblins

> I have read of these. They are ancient, but not as ancient as mankind. I believe they were created by the dark lord. His power still lingers in these caves. Will we ever be rid of him?
>
>

Scaphin

> They are not what I would call a noble race, though that sounds rather arrogant now that I say it. A creation of the dark lord likely... I cannot say for sure. Perhaps I should hold my tongue. Judgement of an entire race is unwise, creation of the dark lord or not.
>
>

librarian

> If she knows something then we must find her at all costs. We believe the book to be the key to ending this madness... somehow.
> If she has perished it will be up to Callor and I to find whatever we can in the ruins. There is also the library in town. Perhaps there is something of use there.
>
>

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 our shelter and do not return.
>
>

corundum

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

dreams

> I have been having strange dreams. I am falling into the abyss below. The air is thick and murky. Water cascades all around me. And I hear someone from above calling to me. Fundas! Fundas!
> I fear that one of those old skeletons we tossed over the edge now haunts me.
>
>

energy

> Below this place lies a vast reservoir of energy. We do not know its exact nature, but it does not appear to be good.
> One of the obelisks in this place, the one near the place you entered from, draws energy from it. I have seen Kazimar use it to summon evil creatures, which he quickly disposes of.
>
>

Kalindraur

> When we arrived, it was empty. It must have served its purpose. Now it is needed again. I pray that we do not need to stay here much longer. I miss the sun.
>
>

moons

> I do not even remember what they look like... but my research has led me to tales of moongates; bridges between Solmaria and the moons.
> Supposedly, they open only when a moon is up, and fade in the light. They cannot be approached with a torch or lantern or in sun, or they will vanish. I wish I knew more.
>
>

moongates

> I wish I knew more. They are bridges of some kind. They can only be seen in moonlight, and where moonlight can touch. Even the light of a torch will snuff them out.
>
>

keystone

> I wonder if there is symbology in it being a keystone. I see no reason it should look like any kind of stone in particular. Perhaps it acts as a key of some sort.
> Callor is always digging up strange things. You should talk to him. He is usually at the dig site west of here.
>
>

Codex

> The Codex is something ancient and powerful. I do not understand where it came from or who wrote it, but Naira has some theories. Perhaps it turns words into power. This would explain how the books you find react to it.
> I wonder, could it be used to determine if something is false?
>
>

dark lord

> There are writings, but most of them are lost. Time is not kind to manuscripts. If only we had a way to preserve things for longer.
> I suppose we could go back to carving on stones.
>
