Dialogue
«Scene: The back room in Yulgar's Inn»

Galanoth: While we have dealt with the immediate threat of Bradakhan we have heard unsettling rumours from Greenguard forest about the Drakel presence increasing in the Skraeling Desert. «You»: What are they up to? Why Skraeling? Do we never get even a moments peace? Cyrus: The force that is behind all these events is greater then any I have previously encountered. It is a divisive power that seeks to dirupt us in anyway possible. Galanoth: I have received word from one of the Knights of Lorithia, a man named Thorne Lorin, that the orcs near Greenguard have requested his help. «You»: Orcs? Seeking human help? And who are these knights of Lorithia? Galanoth: As for the knighthood its purpose should probably be explained to you by one other than I. The Orcs, however, if they are seeking aid, must be in serious trouble. Galanoth: They are a proud race not given to calls for help. Go to Greenguard and see if you can find Thorne and seek to offer him help. Galanoth: Then we can both investigate the activity of the Drakel in Skraeling.

GREENGUARD FOREST

«You»: Loremaster! What are you doing in Greenguard-- and so far from your Library on Isle d'Oriens? Falerin: History unfolds here-- not in the middle of my cramped quarters on Isle D'Oriens. «You»: ... Falerin: I might ask you the same question. Surely there are better things for one such as you to be doing than skulking in Greenguard. «You»: Galanoth has sent me to find a man named Thorne Lorin and offer our aid. He has come to help the Orcs of Greenguard. Falerin: You have arrived late. Lorin has alredy left with the Orc Chieftain's son Culak and his friend, an Elf named Kendrel. «You»: Wait-- an Orc with elven friends? You are kidding, right? Falerin: Kendrel would be as quick to kill you for insulting the Orcs as he would you insulting his own nobles. Falerin: You find unity strange. That is because The'Galin has already done his work. There are those even here that wish to resist him. Falerin: Galrick you may come out....
 * * Gulp*

Galrick comes out from behind a tree

«You»: Who is he, and what is that he's wearing? Falerin: Galrick son of Glenn, citzen of the Island Nation of Neld, I present you with one of Battleon's protectors, and denizen of Battleonia. Galrick: Traveller, do we have time for these pleasantries? If the key to understanding what is happening is to be found with Tralin then this is not the place to be standing. Falerin: I have already told you, Galrick, that while the Traveller is one of my agents, I am not he. «You»: Tralin? Traveler? Falerin: As for you Galrick, I may have saved you from The'Galin's service in Sentar, but your job is far from over so I suggest.... «You»: Hello!? I am still standing here. Falerin: Fine. There is much to say and little time to say it so sit back and listen carefully....
 * Okay...

It becomes night

.... Many Hours later...

«You»: so let me get this straight. You are not a half-elf at all. You are from another world and are a...

Falerin raises his staff

Falerin: Do not speak it. It is best that my nature on Caelestia be forgotten. It will help no-one and may actually hinder us.

He lowers his staff

«You»: Right... so you are from another world. You traveled here to find and help stop the Devourer because this is the world from which he originally arose. Falerin: Not perfect in the details, but in the essence correct. The'Galin threatens all worlds and from here he will launch his assault on others eventually threatening my own. Falerin: That is something we cannot allow. «You»: And Eldron is not dead... Falerin: Far from it. «You»: But you said that was his skull... Falerin: I said that it was the Skull of Eldron the Good. Indeed it is, it belongs to him. «You»: Fine fine. So now what is it you want? If we are too late to find Thorne... what should we do now? Falerin: Galrick will travel with you to Deren-- well, more correctly, to the island off its shore. «You»: Wait, what? Deren? Galrick: You are not coming?! Falerin: Yes, Deren, and no I have duties elsewhere. I cannot afford to be gone from Isle d'Oriens in any length. «You»: How do we get to Deren? Falerin: I have made arrangements for passage for you. You will follow along this route until you come to the Cor-Dem stone. Once there I trust you can figure things out. «You»: Wait! How could you make arrangements without knowing we were...
 * Ummm

Falerin disappears

«You»: ... Galrick: I hate it when he does that. «You»: Now let me get this straight. Your country was at war and the enemy had all but defeated you? Galrick: That's right. «You»: So you cried out for revenge and accepted to this Devourer? Galrick: Correct... «You»: And now Falerin wants us to travel together? Galrick: So it seems. «You»: With no further explanation whatsoever? Galrick: He rarely ever offers any. «You»: I really want to smack him senseless... Galrick: A feeling I have felt myself on more occasions than can be counted.

«You»: What do you suppose this is? Galrick: I do not know exactly, but I do recognize from something I saw elsewhere. They are Cor-Demian.

Falerin appears

Falerin: It is ready for the key. «You»: Wait, what? Galrick: The key?

Falerin disappears

«You»: ... Galrick: ... Galrick: Now what? «You»: I guess we have to figure out this key. Galrick: Okay-- activate the runes in the right order. If you miss several times in a row, I will help.

''You activate the runes by clicking on them. You can also click a button that says "Go back, I'm tired..." to return to town at any time. Every ten incorrect tries, Galrick will give you the next rune, accompanied by the following messages:''

Galrick: I think I can help. Maybe if you started with one of these? Galrick: Hmmm...this is a tricky puzzle. Maybe if you try this one next... Galrick: Still can't get it? Did you try this one? Galrick: Maybe if you try the lighter blue after the dark one? Galrick: Maybe this grey one does something... Galrick: This one is gold, that's got to be a good sign Galrick: Are you sure you're trying them in the order that i'm [sic] suggesting? Galrick: Well, I don't have any more hints to give, after this stone, you're on your own!

''When you activate the correct sequence, all of the runes light up and a portal appears in the center of the circle. Clicking on it takes you to The Temple of Hope.''
