Dialogue[edit]
- With Callon
- Wayfinder? How... How are you? What can I do for you?
Actually, Callon, I was hoping you could tell me a bit about Mabon.- Mabon... What do you want to know?
- Anything. I'm trying to better understand who he was.
- Callon: Mabon could hold a conversation with anyone. Saw the best in the worst of us...
- Callon: He...listened to me. When I first joined the Astral Ward, I was not kind. Or empathetic.
- Callon: I was strong—that's why Isgarren took a liking. I just wanted to hide from the world.
- Callon: Mabon and Vanak took care of my training, and Mabon... He... saw right through me.
- Callon: He helped me forgive myself. He helped me forgive my mother for letting the Wh-
- Callon: I...I wasn't always a good person. Neither was he; he was always honest about that.
- Callon: But the Mabon I knew near the end was good. Earnestly good.
- I wasn't planning to share...so much. I hope that was all right.
- I think Mabon would have been honored. Thank you, Callon.
- With Ithil
- Finishing a great book can be heart-wrenching, because you don't want it to end. But would it be better not to have read it at all? I... I don't think so.
- Speaking of stories, I was hoping you might have some about Mabon.
- Ah, I certainly do, Wayfinder. I would be glad to share something about him with you.
- And I would be glad to hear it. Thank you.
- Ithil: We will never do better than Mabon. He recruited me himself, you know.
- Ithil: I woke up screaming. The teachings of Ventari didn't tell us anything. I joined the Nightmare Court to find answers.
- Ithil: But that was just before you put Mordremoth to rest. Faolain was...
- Ithil: I never went to Maguuma. I left the court before things got bad. But, I did hear his voice.
- Ithil: The pain was... Have you ever fallen into the geysers at Southsun Cove?
- Ithil: Mabon found me, writhing beneath a tree in Brisban Wildlands. He and Narcisse nursed me back to health.
- Ithil: I told him my story, and he invited me here. A new story. It... won't be the same without him.
- Thank you for listening.
- The pleasure was mine. Be well, Ithil.
- With Maer
- (Maer is mourning in silence.)
- Maer? Do you think you could tell me a bit about Mabon?
- I... I'll try.
- Just say whatever you're feeling. Thank you.
- Maer: I... I'm sorry, I...
- Maer: He... saved me. When I was in the Dominion, he...
- Maer: I'm sorry, I'm not ready to... He can't be...
- In Frostgorge Sound
- Mabon: He fixates when he's bored. But boredom means that we're not running from other mursaat or moving out of a dragon's path.
- Mabon: We're currently settled above the Northern Isles so Isgarren can watch the kodan again—they migrated south already.
- Mabon: One has taken refuge with Vass, the Forgotten that Isgarren is courting... She seems curious about us. They both do.
- Mabon: It does make me wonder what his goal is... We organize. We build. But we are only two—for now.
- Mabon: I was reading about Sidony in the archive—leader of the Seers during the rise against the dragons.
- Mabon: When he decided to pull back from the assault on Zhaitan... I wonder if he knew the consequences that would evoke?
- Mabon: Even if that choice was likely the wiser one... We still feel the ripples of that decision.
- Mabon: Most likely, we'd be dead. Maybe the mursaat wouldn't have fled, though. The Seers wouldn't have declared war.
- Mabon: Isgarren is fearful of intervening with the dragons. When Sidony stopped him that night...
- Mabon: Mm. I remember that morning, I think. Flickers of sunrise... The carnage, revealed. Zhaitan's call.
- Mabon: Thankful that I don't remember the loss. I feel it, but I don't remember their faces... Should I?
- Mabon: Isgarren possesses an...urgency that I can't place yet. We are too weak to fight a dragon, he says, yet we fortify...
- Mabon: It's as if he's both wounded and killing time... Maybe I'm projecting.
- In Gendarran Fields
- Isgarren: You didn't see it. What he did to them.
- Mabon: Tell me then.
- Isgarren: He... (clears throat) Eparch is hideous.
- Mabon: The creature from Nayos? I thought you were friends. I still have the things he left behind in my chamber—
- Isgarren: No. I was curious about him in the same way that I was you, but... Things which come from that place are not good.
- Isgarren: You are a fine ally. You didn't...tear an entire village to innards and scraps of meat.
- Mabon: You think he was a demon?
- Isgarren: I know he was. I should've been more careful. I sent him back, but...
- Isgarren: Nothing that sees this place stays away. And I've tried to keep them out for a long time.
- Mabon: So that's the plan.
- Isgarren: Mm. The dragons are a headache, but the demon realm is an infection. All of those pockets are.
- Isgarren: The dragons could very well be the bacteria fighting off that infection, too. I don't know, but I need them alive.
- Isgarren: I've no clue what Eparch wanted. But he wasn't happy when I booted him back to his bog.
- Mabon: Well, it's likely my own bias, but if we were exiled to Tyria as punishment...
- Mabon: Then perhaps the demon realm possesses something better than this? Would he want to come back?
- Isgarren: You didn't see the look on his face.
- Interacting with theAmnytas Insight: Windy Bluff
- Do you wish to remember Mabon at this Insight of Mastery, exemplifying the Essence of Strength?
- Channel the Essence of Strength into the Mastery Insight.
