Aria: Something isn't right. You can feel it, can't you?
Aria: There's a strangeness in the air… in the earth itself.
Aria: Lucky and I followed it out this way. It seems to be strongest in this area.
Hero: I didn't know you had a dog.
Aria: <Hero>, I have lots of pets. I own a pet shop.
Aria: Also, she's a wolf.
Hero: Oops, sorry, Lucky!
Aria: Anyway, that's when I saw…

«Scene: a Darkblood camp»
Hero: Whoa. You were right! The Darkblood ARE gathering nearby…
Aria: I told you! What do you think they're doing here?
Hero: I don't know, but… I have a really bad feeling about this.

Hero: Excuse me…
Thedra: <Hero>? You… are <Hero>, aren't you?
Hero: Yeah, that's me. (Have we met?)
Thedra: We have not. But I know who you are.
Thedra: You helped our Primarch, and the Darkblood still remember.
Thedra: Madra would never admit it to your face, but she respects you.
Thedra: And that means we do, too. So, you are welcome here… you and your friend. But just the two of you.
Hero: What are you guys even doing here?
Hero: I didn't think you ever left Falguard…
Thedra: Normally we wouldn't.

ACCORDING TO LEGEND, KOLYABAN WAS THE FIRST OF OUR RACE.

«Scene: Darkblood camp»
Thedra: Kolyaban represents a connection with our Mother, our history and our origins.
Thedra: Our mother, the Queen of all Monsters, has been interacting with Lore for quite some time.
Thedra: But never directly. She has stayed in the shadows, sending envoys in her stead.
Thedra: Most of them have meant nothing to us. But Kolyaban…
Thedra: She represents a connection with our Mother, our history and our origins. She, she is HERE.
Thedra: The rumors of her appearance have inspired many of our people to make a pilgrimage to try to find her.
Aria: Wow, that's really cool. We'd love to do anything we can to help!
Thedra: Thank you, friend of <Hero>. I'm sure we will all appreciate it.
