| Cue_0001 (250258f6e73304c4bbe1ded051c67b48) | Cue_0008 | Kaessi | A tense silence hangs over the house. Kaessi, your tiefling friend, emerges from the shadows, but her eyes are staring into the distance. She seems to look right past you. "No… Not now!" | |||
| Cue_0008 (de67bf8153082e34395a830e3edcfe5b) | AnswersList_0002 | Kaessi | The turmoil is suddenly over, but you see fear in Kaessi's eyes. Her blue eyes... "It's you! I wanted to say... I…" | +90xp from Sorrowflow (Quest) | ||

| Answer_0003 (5dacb850c0401b347a1bdb3c80dd8959) | Cue_0005 | Player | "I think you owe me an explanation." | |||
| Cue_0005 (8cffca2c4ed101246be9ebe506b8a9a9) | Cue_0006 | Kaessi | The girl closes her eyes and clenches her fists, obviously in the grip of a strong emotion, but one you cannot read. "I knew it couldn't last forever. Why did he... why did he even make this rule, if he knew it would be impossible to keep?" |
|||
| Cue_0006 (7d3109aac75940648bbdeb39cf430283) | AnswersList_0019 | Kaessi | She takes a deep breath, opens her eyes and speaks with firm resolve. "Come what may, you should know, {name}, that the person you know by the name of 'Kaessi' does not exist. My real name is Kalikke, and I... we... Well, it's a long story, and such stories are better told beside a welcoming fire. Will you hear me out?" | |||

| Cue_0022 (282634d2e22e37c42bcfa3769b3108c6) | Exit Dialogue | Player | The girl lowers her head. "It's not the first time I've heard something like this. Well, farewell!" | Fails Sorrowflow (Quest) | ||

| Cue_0007 (768c3345f5b11504aa7dd4fab41d4a87) | Cue_0012 | Kalikke | The girl rests her head on her arm and stares off into the distance, lost in memory. "Stories by the fire... in the desert where I was born... My fondest memory. When the day is done, hosts and guests, parents and children, friends and rivals, all gather by the fire under the stars to tell their tales. All they did, all they witnessed, all they heard from other travelers, and the whispers carried by the desert wind…" | |||
| Cue_0012 (c41bb26a6753f7644909142211801dcf) | Cue_0013 | Kalikke | "My sister and I often snuck in to hear these stories, hiding in the shadows just beyond the circle of light and warmth. We are hellspawn, you see. Tieflings are unwelcome guests in Qadira, unblessed by the light of merciful Sarenrae. We grew up sleeping in a common tent, scavenging food here and there like orphans, all but outcast and disowned. We were thirteen when we left, and set off to find happiness in the cities – and everyone we left behind sighed with relief." | |||
| Cue_0013 (0c8a53ffb38875146828d0f7bd1b651e) | AnswersList_0014 | Kalikke | "My sister and I... we are twins, but as different as the sun and moon. Her name is Kanerah, which means 'Silent Flame'. She is fire – a cold fire, but one that turns everything to ash. I am a river. It brings me joy to give water to tired travelers, and nurture green shoots. But when I flood, I am bound to bring death..." The girl's eyes are full of sorrow. "Despite our differences, we are one. Our lives belong to divine Nethys, and by his mercy we now live... in turns. While one of us is here, the other sleeps in another plane, and when she wakes up, we switch places. Just as you just witnessed..." | |||

| Cue_0018 (940af928190eb9744aa401cea5a1067f) | AnswersList_0014 | Kalikke | "How could I remember you? I'd never met you at the time. That was Kanerah. She was the one who talked to you at the reception, and helped you fight off the assassins. We usually write each other notes, recounting in detail all that happened, and describing any friends that 'Kaessi' had made. But that time we switched right in the middle of a mansion engulfed in fire and filled with assassins. Kanerah didn't have the time to write any notes." | |||
| Answer_0015 (b4bb1f74fd79fda46bee9f3945e818c2) | Cue_0023 | Player | "And how is it you began to live 'in turns'?" | |||
| Cue_0023 (8ed501fad92a4194eb3b5410d873f283) | Cue_0038 | Kalikke | Kalikke lowers her head. "This story... It's one I've never told to anyone before. No one in the whole world. And it's not easy to confide in a stranger. – There's too much grief and guilt in it. If you don't mind, I'd rather not go into all the details." | |||
| Cue_0038 (d81f271cfe4b1ed479edbb7ca10e6d81) | Cue_0040 | Kalikke | "You see, my sister died, and I... couldn't get over it. Kanerah was killed by a soul eater – a monster summoned by secret followers of Abaddon's archdaemons. Those who summoned him died in the fight, but the beast was too strong for my sister... and I wasn't even there to protect her." Kalikke catches her breath. "I... we'd just had a fight, and we both did some stupid things just before. But I don't want to talk about that now." | |||
| Cue_0040 (00f31db367c20da43a5a5dc7c7e81153) | AnswersList_0014 | Kalikke | "When I found out what happened to my sister, I was ready to make a deal with any power, if only I could just get her back. And I found such a power... I was contacted by the Arcanotheign, the herald of the god Nethys himself. She promised she would return Kanerah to life, but on two conditions. First, we must both keep the arrangement a secret. Second – we would never be able to meet again. And so our new life began. Now we flee through the world, guarding our secret, always introducing ourselves as 'Kaessi' to hide that there are two of us. And we switch places with each other at random. – While one lives, the other sleeps in a demiplane, one created specially for us." | |||
| Answer_0016 (b16fc7fbe2a01584783e24edac9a3ca1) | Selected (Answer_0015) | Cue_0024 | Player | "And you can't control these 'switches'?" | ||
| Cue_0024 (6fb4c072d69218241868368e004e8e7e) | AnswersList_0014 | Kalikke | "No, we can't. They happen at random, most often while we're sleeping, but sometimes in broad daylight. That's why we can never stay in one place for long. When someone witnesses us switch, we usually tell them tales of 'a special magical way of traveling', but people start noticing strange things and begin to figure things out. Truth be told, I'm so tired of having to pretend. We knew this couldn't last forever, and now the truth is finally out. Ah, what's the point in all this..." | |||
| Answer_0041 (18609e8b7229f644ba0cd86fe0e33cd6) | Selected (Answer_0015) | Cue_0042 | Player | "You revealed your secret to me – it means you broke one of the rules set by the deity's herald..." | ||
| Cue_0042 (0c21efd0eeafa0a42867fcaa7cab8099) | AnswersList_0014 | Kalikke | "Yes. Will you make me regret this, {name}? I just thought... I felt you might be someone who could help my sister and me change our fates." | |||

| Answer_0025 (e39397f78689bba40bd8f752ad3b480c) | Cue_0028 | Player | "What do you want from me? You must have come here for a reason." | |||
| Cue_0028 (e5cc590da2f25184e8723da6aaaf7652) | Cue_0029 | Kalikke | "That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Kanerah was supposed to tell you of an ancient treasury that we've been looking for. Gold isn't the only thing of value in this place. It may contain an ancient relic, taken by the Taldan raiders from a respected Qadiran temple of Nethys." | |||
| Cue_0029 (12c6db28acb0d0f4190eac05535f2594) | Cue_0027 | Kalikke | "It's an unusual relic, called the Disk of the Eclipse. I once heard a beautiful story that it was created from the shadow that hides the sun and the moon. But I don't think that could be the truth. Nethys is the god of magic, who was once a mortal wizard, and relics from his temples are usually very powerful. There are many among his followers who think that solving the mysteries of magic – even rivaling their deity – is the best way to serve him. One such follower created the Disk, long ago in the distant past." | |||
| Cue_0027 (516f94b07fcd55543b17270e9c910317) | AnswersList_0030 | Kalikke | "According to legend, it gave its owners control over planar travel. But only pairs of wizards bound by unbreakable ties could use it. While one of them traveled the planes, the other was his 'anchor' in our world, and they could switch between. Do you see now why we so desperately wish to find the Disk? It might help us understand how the 'switch' between me and Kanerah works. And it should make our divine patron happy. – Nethys and his assistants value the desire to understand the mysteries of magic above all else." | |||

| Cue_0044 (ff3957225aec3324496f0a056bdf50c2) | AnswersList_0030 | Kalikke | "It was brought here by Taldans from the Fifth Army of Exploration. Taldor and Qadira were enemies for ages. Thousands of years ago, a soldier broke into the temple of Nethys and stole the relic, to sell it, or secretly hoard it as an heirloom. Hundreds of years later, his own kin, or the kin of its hundredth buyer, brought the Disk to these strange lands, where the Taldans had come – uninvited, as usual – and which they finally vanished from with little trace. Sometimes, history is as intricate lace – you'd never guess where it begins, and where it ends." | |||
| Answer_0045 (701480bb0c738444eab81d77d86ca4ed) | Cue_0046 | Player | "Tell me about the location of the treasury." | |||
| Cue_0046 (3f498ee65b630e743b43bce9ba6bb54e) | AnswersList_0030 | Kalikke | "It was called Sorrowflow in the chronicle we read. It was once a Taldan town, founded by the veterans of the the Fifth Army of Exploration. It stood on the shores of a turbulent river – and that was what destroyed it. One night, a terrible flood devastated the settlement, killing many and driving the rest to flee. Only the tower on the cliff remained, which was too high for the flood to reach. Water covered the ruins for a long time, but last year it receded. My friends found a chronicle, which recounted the destruction of the city, and spoke of the Disk of the Eclipse which was kept there. They managed to track down the ruins, but were frightened away by the monsters and beasts that roam the area." | |||

I don't want to give myself away again in front of your companions. Breaking the Arcanotheign's conditions once was enough. – I have no wish to anger our god. So long!" | Reveals Sorrowflow | ||
