Why did you just break into my house? {surprised} [4/6] Fisherman: A-Are you... CHALLENGING ME!!?? Into a fishing competition!? {shocked} [5/6] Fisherman: No one can win ME in a fishing competition! {angry} [6/6] Fisherman: You buffoon! Get yourself a fishing rod too and we'll settle this outside!! {angry} [1/8] Fisherman: Huh, did you finish already? Ahaa! Let's see then… {surprised} [2/8] Fisherman: What!? You actually managed to fish eight or more fish? And I only got seven! How pitiful of me… {shocked} [3/8] Fisherman: Man, you really won me. I can't believe it! {sadly} [4/8] Fisherman: Hold on, what is that? In the river? It looks like… {thoughtfully} [5/8] Fisherman: That thing sure does look weird... Never seen anything like it before! {thoughtfully} [6/8] Fisherman: Argh, can't people just leave this river alone already? {frustrated} [7/8] Fisherman: They just keep throwing trash into this river... Hasn't the decay already done enough work? Even the kappas don't bother fishing here. {angry} [8/8] Fisherman: Whatever man, you won. I hope this thingamajig can deal as a prize. I got nothing better and it looks cool enough. {normally} [1/3] Fisherman: Huh, did you finish already? Ahaa! Let's see then… {surprised} [2/3] Fisherman: Ahhah, you didn't even get a single fish! Hilarious. {gloating} [3/3] Fisherman: Whatever. You lost, and nobody can beat me anyways! {gloating} [2/3] Fisherman: Ahhah, I can see that you haven't managed to beat me. {gloating} [1/1] Fisherman: Now come on! Get yourself a fishing rod from the inside! {excited} [1/1] Fisherman: Now come on! Get on that rock and let's begin! {excited} [1/1] Fisherman: Hey, hey! No jumping in the water! {warning} [2/3] Fisherman: Can you catch at least [8 Fish] and beat my score? Just don't catch the pufferfish or I'll minus it off! {explaining} [3/3] Fisherman: Ahaa! And so we begin... {excited} [1/1] Fisherman: Hah! I knew that you would run away! No one can beat the greatest fisher that has ever lived! {boastfully} At the edge of decay [1/11] Lari: I could stare at this map for hours, you know. It's like staring into the past. {quietly} [2/11] Lari: It's a few centuries out of date. You see how green this place once was? {normally} [3/11] Lari: Look at it now. It's become so barren and... Lifeless. {sadly} [4/11] Lari: I've watched much of this land fall in a similar way… {sadly} [5/11] Lari: It's been spreading faster as the years have gone by. I-I don't believe there's much time left. {worriedly} [6/11] Lari: People have been calling it the ''Decay''... Truth is, there is so much more to it. {thoughtfully} [7/11] Lari: I've managed to hold it back and keep it to the north, but there is only one of me. {explaining} [8/11] Lari: Just look at all of this rot. And I was always told that nature could manage on its own. {sadly} [9/11] Lari: But, alas, not even the loveliest pieces of light are safe from its looming shadow. {sadly} [10/11] Lari: I hope you can enjoy what Olux can offer. There is still beauty there, if you look closely. {normally} [11/11] Lari: You may think there's still something to be done here, but... I'm not sure if there is anymore. {sadly} Llevigar’s Library [1/5] Llevigar Archivist: Ahem. Here to return a book, are you? Let me see that. {professionally} [2/5] Llevigar Archivist: Wealth or Knowledge... Yes, I remember this book. Sixteen years overdue. {gratefully} [3/5] Llevigar Archivist: Well, seeing as you certainly aren't the fellow who borrowed it, I suppose I won't fine you for it. Where did you find this, anyway? {curiously} [4/5] Llevigar Archivist: ...A dragon in the clouds? Certainly sounds like somewhere he would go. Well, regardless, welcome to Llevigar's Library! {welcoming} [5/5] Llevigar Archivist: If you need me for anything, I'll be around. Otherwise, feel free to peruse our literature. {normally} [1/1] Llevigar Archivist: Hm... Yes, hello. Do you need anything? {normally} [1/2] Llevigar Archivist: Well, I suppose I'm something of an expert on history. You likely wouldn't find someone more knowledgeable than me... Unless they lived through it, of course! {excitedly} [2/2] Llevigar Archivist: Ah, that aside. Is there a region you're particularly interested in? {normally} [1/5] Llevigar Archivist: Wynn... Yes, yes, of course. You know, the humans in Wynn have never held history in as high regard as us Gavellians. As such, most of the information we have is... shall I say, incomplete. {explaining} [2/5] Llevigar Archivist: You humans instead choose to focus more on the present, rather than the past. That thousand-year war of yours has kept your people uniquely invested in the now. {explaining} [3/5] Llevigar Archivist: And, well... I think that's quite an admirable quality of your people. That you have survived a millenia of constant onslaught from the Corruption, and you still have hope for the present. For the future. {pride} [4/5] Llevigar Archivist: So much of what we know of your history is directly tied to your war - from the event that started it all, to the modern politics of your cities. The Corruption is a constant all throughout, in a way that's unique to your province. {explaining} [5/5] Llevigar Archivist: And so, despite my interest in the history of the rest of the world, it is Wynn alone that fascinates me in this way. {explaining} [1/7] Llevigar Archivist: Gavel... Let's see here. I suppose a rather interesting period in our history which is relatively unknown is the time after Remikas' rule... And the Wars of the Cousins. {thoughtfully} [2/7] Llevigar Archivist: After the death of Gavel's first king, the province saw a time of relative peace. His eldest daughter, Marika the Admired, had a long and peaceful rule until her passing in 463 BP. {explaining} [3/7] Llevigar Archivist: The crown was thus given to her son, Emil I. However, following the assassination of an advisor in his court, his legitimacy as king came into question. {explaining} [4/7] Llevigar Archivist: His two cousins, Alhard and Sivelle, claimed that Emil I was unfit to rule. Being children of Remikas' eldest son, Aramis, they believed they had a claim to the throne themselves. {explaining} [5/7] Llevigar Archivist: Alhard rebelled first, and later his children followed in his footsteps. The kingdom was split, with Alhard and Sivelle presiding in Kander Forest, and Emil I holding the citadel of Cinfras. {explaining} [6/7] Llevigar Archivist: Over the following decades, these civil wars would continue. Many times would these two factions come into conflict over who truly deserved the crown, prolonging the split of the monarchy. {explaining} [7/7] Llevigar Archivist: Eventually, in 431 BP, this conflict would finally come to an end. Sivelle's daughter, Raemin, took the crown, and finalized her victory by having her enemies beheaded. And thus, this period of history came to a close. {explaining} [1/1] Llevigar Archivist: Very well. I'll return to my work. {normally} [1/4] Llevigar Archivist: Oh. I'll have to think on that question for a moment. {thoughtfully} [2/4] Llevigar Archivist: ...Don't tell anyone this, but one of my favorites is a book titled 'The Long-Winded and Painful Death of Sweeney S. Greenville.' {slightly embarrassed} [3/4] Llevigar Archivist: It is, as the title states, rather long... But it keeps a good sense of humor throughout. And humor is something I don't often find with this job of mine. {explaining} [4/4] Llevigar Archivist: I've worked here for nearly fourty years, myself. It's quiet work, but that's something I take solace in. {explaining} [1/4] Llevigar Archivist: Oh, don't get me started. He was a nice enough fellow, I suppose. Didn't cause many problems while he was here. {normally} [2/4] Llevigar Archivist: He seemed interested in a variety of topics, and he read through many books while he frequented our library. {explaining} [3/4] Llevigar Archivist: I'm unsure he ever found what he was looking for, though. We have history, yes, but what he was looking for was more... exotic. {explaining, hesitant at exotic} [4/4] Llevigar Archivist: Then, of course, he took one of our books and never returned it. For that, he has lost my respect. {sadly} [1/3] Llevigar Archivist: Oh! Chapter five, is it? Yes, it's certainly an oddity in comparison to the rest of the set. {thoughtfully} [2/3] Llevigar Archivist: As for the reasoning for its removal... It's forbidden knowledge, you see. Ever since that Decay has taken hold, well… {uncomfortably} [3/3] Llevigar Archivist: Let's just say our government does not look kindly upon talk of dark magic, and leave it at that. {uncomfortably} [1/1] Llevigar Archivist: Well, hello then, fellow library-goer. If you don't mind, I'll get back to work now. {normally} Llevigar's last hope [1/9] Mother: The Decay just keeps on getting worse and worse in the north. {worriedly} [2/9] Sailor: Aye, I've 'eard that Gelibord isn't doin' good at all. Sure wouldn't want to live there as we speak. {sadly} [3/9] Citizen: But do you really think the sea is going to give us any help? {worriedly} [4/9] Citizen: I just... There ain't anything over there. It's only endless waves of water. {worriedly} [5/9] Mother: You're talking about that legend? The guy who once sailed on to see what's ahead and never came back? {curiously} [6/9] Citizen: Yeah, who knows? Maybe the ship falls of the world's edge!? {scared} [7/9] Sailor: Shut yer mouth. This here be the only chance we got, 'mm? {angrily} [8/9] Sailor: Them men over there be ready to die fer their land. Fer Gavel!! No stupid legend be goin' to stop them. {angrily} [9/9] Child: The ship! The ship's getting ready to leave the dock! {excitedly} [1/5] Captain: Alright boys, it's time to move on! We have quite a big journey ahead of us! {excitedly} [2/5] Captain: We have no idea what we'll find, but I'm sure all of this chaos will end with it! [3/5] Captain: Are you ready to go!? Are you ready to risk your lives for Gavel!? {inspiring} [4/5] Gavel Sailors: Aye, aye captain! {excitedly} [5/5] Captain: Drop the sails! {excitedly} [1/2] Captain: And so we shall leave for the future!! {excitedly} [2/2] Captain: Goodbye Gavel… {bittersweet}
