Talis Mikaels

At Astravia

InnKeeper
My apologies, our rooms are completely booked. It may be best for you to return to where you came.

After completing the 'Materialism' quest:

InnKeeper
I used to be a member of the Royal Guard before my father got too sick to take care of the family’s inn. The Prince saw me off with a smile, and gifted me gold to keep my family comfortable until I could fully take over the Inn’s duties. In fact, he used to sneak out to come stay with his…oh, I’m not talking about King Drago. Is this not the kind of information you’re looking for?

At Astravia Judgement

InnKeeper
The distortions are out of control! I may not understand why this is happening but the root of the corruption must lie in the /astraviacastle. Please, make your way there. It’s too dangerous to venture out without knowing the cause of it all!

- Go Now

After completing the 'Mnemosyne, the Tormentor' quest:

InnKeeper
There you are! While you fought that beast, the rebellion leaders took as many people as they could out of the Capital. We noticed you didn’t escape, so I volunteered to come back for you. We’ve discovered that this cursed ritual has a steadily expanding range, and those closer to the beast are being picked off first. I fear it might not end until all of us are dead… but we must try to run!

Drago
We were released from the clawed grip around our hearts. The wave of cold relief washed over all Astravians not too long ago. King Drago is no more. If he has died while his subjects remain alive, that means it was by natural causes … or it has something to do with the tear in the sky. Is this divine wrath? Will we pay for our misdeeds as well?

Past Sin
King Drago did not rise to the throne on his own. Though many Astravians were too young to remember his ascension, they have inherited the sins of their mothers and fathers. I, on the other hand, have no such excuse. The past can’t change but I won’t leave anyone behind. Not again.

Environment
The sky has turned red before, when King Drago began summoning monsters. But, it was never anything like this. Our surroundings have come alive, watching us like we’re roaches trying to evade their gaze. Even the air and sounds are making me want to crawl out of my skin.That horn in the sky must be another beast, the source of this phenomenon.

After completing the 'Kalasutra' quest:

InnKeeper
Who would that be accompanying you? They’re named Mi? I see that they’re very shy if they’re hiding behind you. Is that right? They can guide you to the heart of this catastrophe. I must take the survivors out of the Capital but we will be waiting for you to catch up. Brave Outsider, I wish you success and health.
