Tolman

ClarissaTolmanQuest
I don't mean to sound ungrateful but we've no time for talk. Tolman was out here with me and now... Piety has him.

They're headed for the Crematorium. I've no chance against Piety and her Blackguards, but you - you're another matter entirely.

Please, you found it in your heart to rescue me. Tolman is just as worthy of your generosity.
ClarissaTolmanQuest2
You're alone. So Tolman's... You didn't go to the Crematorium?

No, of course you didn't, this isn't your fight. I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to put that on you, to ask you to risk your life for someone you don't even know.

Don't worry. I'll work something out. I always do.
ClarissaTolmanFoundQuest
I don't mean to sound ungrateful but we've no time for talk. Tolman was out here with me and now... you found him? Where?

Oh my God... Tolman.

Wraeclast takes everything from us... My family, we always keep something from those we've lost. A silly tradition, yet we hold on to what we can, especially here. Please, if... I don't know why you would... but if you are in the Crematorium again, could you find Tolman's bracelet for me? It would mean a great deal.

No, you go on ahead. I'll meet you back at the encampment, later... we'll talk some more then. Just for now, I need to be alone.
ClarissaQuestDone
I don't mean to sound ungrateful but we've no time for talk. Tolman was out here with me and now... you found him? Where?

Oh my God... Tolman.

This bracelet, I made it for him when he first arrived here. Idiot said he'd never take it off. I called him a liar. He didn't, though. Not once.

I'll meet you back at the encampment, later... we'll talk some more then. Just for now, I need to be alone.

Tolman

ClarissaBringBracelet
I'm sorry, I can't... I need some time. We should talk, I know. But please, not now.
ClarissaBraceletReceived
Poor Tolman. I made this bracelet for him... when he first arrived here. Idiot said he'd never take it off. I called him a liar. He didn't, though. Not once.
ClarissaTolmanReward
I need to give you something. I asked a lot of you out there in the Slums. More than I should have.

You tried, and that's all we exiles can ever hope to do.
ClarissaCrying
Sorry, I... I need some more time to... to think. We'll talk soon, I promise.

Sewer Keys

ClarissaOnKeys
Those keys unlock the gates to the sewers. Tolman found them... figured that in the worst of times people will hide their wealth in the worst of places.

We were never game to test his theory, not with the Undying down there. But you're strong... stronger than any of us here. I don't think you need to fear the dark.

Maramoa

ClarissaOnMaramoa
Maramoa? I've heard that the Karui have this philosophy... makanui, the Way of the Warrior. I don't think you could get any more makanui than her.

She took it upon herself to look after me... before Tolman arrived. Saved my skin more than once. I'm fine with that. Beats being on her bad side.

Hargan

ClarissaOnHargan
Hargan likes to think he was my kind, old 'uncle' back in Theopolis. Granted, the work he gave me saved my parents and I from starvation.

This was after my father lost the family fortune at the card table and we had to give up the manor in the country for a flea-box in Theopolis.

But he's not half as generous as he makes out. When Hargan gives you something, you can be damned sure that he's getting his pound of flesh in return.

Grigor

ClarissaOnGrigor
No one should have to go through what Grigor has. I help him as much as he'll let me, but he's a proud one... and so he should be.

He's survived what has destroyed... too many of us.

Piety's Gems

ClarissaOnPietyGems
The Blackguards talked about Piety's precious gems being "infected with nightmare"...

Tolman... what did she do to you...?

Piety

ClarissaOnPietyAlive
Halfway across the world and yet the tie between Vinia and I endures. That was Piety's real name back in Theopolis, before her rise to greatness.

Vinia sold her thaumaturgy in the day, her body at night. Sought after, she was. Enough so to become one of my best buyers.

But money never meant much to Vinia. No, she was striving for something better... nobler. Used to tell me that "Life needn't be this hard. It's time you all realised that."

I bet she fed Tolman the same bloody line.
ClarissaPietyDead
Wherever he is, I'm sure Tolman knows what you've done. I know you didn't do it for him, or for me. It doesn't matter. Piety's reign of cruelty is over. Thank you.

Vinia

ClarissaaOnVinia
Vinia was arrested for 'Consorting with the Unholy' and condemned to the pyre. This was before the banishments.

Dominus shared a last supper with her, heard her confession. Most think Vinia earned Dominus' patronage on her back. I don't. Vinia gave Dominus her 'better life' and got a new name in return.

You can count on one thing: Piety's grand future won't include the likes of you, me, or Tolman.

The Lunaris Temple

ClarissaOnLunaris
You find a high enough spot and you can see the Lunaris Temple over the river, at the western edge of the city.

Since the Blackguards arrived, the clouds above that temple have been stained with the blackest of smoke. You can see it sometimes, when the westerly blows. It stinks worse than death.

General Gravicius

ClarissaGraviciusDead
Gravicius dined with us once. This was before my father's gambling debts caught up with him. I dined with him again, in Theopolis prison, the night before my exile. He wasn't so polite that time...

Thank you. That's one memory I can now put to rest.

Cataclysm

ClarissaOnCataclysm
On the fall of the Empire, the historians are deathly silent. After the Purity Rebellion, the Kingdom of Kaom blockaded Oriath, preventing any trade or correspondence with the mainland. It's said that Kaom planned to invade.

Only when the Karui retreated did Oriath get any news from Wraeclast, but by that time there wasn't really anyone left to tell the tale.

Statues

ClarissaOnStatues
I know, so strange that stone and metal should move and live as you and I.

Still, I read that Chitus' sculptors used to soften their materials with 'thaumetic sulphite', a by-product of gem refining. It's the only connection that I can fathom between the cataclysm and the living sculptures of Sarn.

The Purity Rebellion

ClarisasOnRebellion
Chitus thought that the Gemling was the pinnacle of human progress. "These glorious gems have brought us within spitting distance of godhood", he once said.

The High Templar at the time, Voll of Thebrus, thought they were a perversion. He wanted the Empire made pure, "cleansed of the stain of thaumaturgy". You look at Sarn and tell me which one you think was right.

And while you're out there, look out for monkeys. No, not those bloody monkeys from Phrecia. These ones are painted on the walls. I think you'll find them enlightening.
