"What know you of your ways? Favour is not merely bestowed; it is earned!"

"The cold on a winter night has cruel teeth that can bite through even the thickest layers of pelts."

"Winter is a harsh master in these lands. Why now do so many outsiders come to suffer its icy grip?"

"I have bested many Sûrmaja this season, but that is one beast I would not test."

"Greetings, <class>. I would be careful. If the cold does not get you, the susi certainly will."

"I heard the susi have been damaging the tents at the camps. They need to be dealt with."

"I have been hearing tales of a wild and ferocious creature near the beach. I think I will be a little more careful when I am collecting my driftwood."

"Be careful what you do, Outsider. Even the beasts here have eyes and a tongue that will betray you."

"Have you seen the lore-master who is staying here? He seems to be an odd one."

"I stooped to gather a branch, and before I knew what was happening, the beast was upon me!"

"Each night, the susi circle closer. It is as unnatural as the cold that grips this land."

"There are winters where merely surviving is a test of one's will."

"Have you come to test yourself? There are many tests to choose from in these lands."

"Beware, <class>. Winter makes prey of the weak and unwary."

"This unnatural cold drives beasts to unnatural behaviour of late."

"I leave for the hunt at next daybreak."

"The susi come ever closer. Soon we will not need to leave our tents to hunt them."

"Let the white susi come! Their pelts will make a fine addition to my bed."

"I think it is the Sûrmaja that have been seen on the outskirts. They are spying upon us, I tell you."

"I wish the Sûrmaja would leave us alone."

"Have you ever gotten that feeling that you are being watched?"

"If you think you deserve our respect, earn it. Let us see you skills in the hunt!"

"In seasons past, I would have found twice as much game by now as I have done this season."

"So many outsiders are encroaching on our lands, scaring off our game animals. Why are you here!"

"Ever have outsiders attacked us and slain our herd-beasts. Why should I welcome you, outsider?"

"I do not know your business here, <class>, but you might be best served by following your footprints back the way you came."

"There is a fierce storm on the way. You would be wise to get out while you can."

"I miss my family, but if we do not bring in enough supplies for the winter, what then would become of them?"

"Sometimes I prefer the solitude of our camp to the bustling of Sûri-kylä."

"Aye, I fish, therefore I smell like kala, my tent smells like kala, and I would not eat any more kala if it was the only thing to eat."

"Have you ever matched strength with a kalpa-kita? That is a true test of bravery."

"Greetings, stranger. Please tread softly, as this is a place of reverance."

"This was once a place of eternal quiet. Now it is bustling with too many outsiders."

"The traders seem to like the extra attention we are getting from our alliance with the Kivi-väki."

"Traditions are sacred to the Lumi-väki. You would do well to respect them, stranger."

"Those stinking Susi-väki should be driven back and away from this hallowed place forever!"

"Do not bother the guard. They prefer the solitude of their sacred duties."

"Norsu are amazing creatures with a nobility in their eyes and strength in their spirit."

"This land tests our strength. To know that the Lumi-väki have found a home in this harsh wilderness is to understand that we are not a väki to be trifled with."

"Caught between the feuding tribes of the Kivi-väki feels like being bounced along like a stone in a stream. At the end, our numbers are smaller, but our skills are smoother."

"Last night, I caught a Susi-väki sneaking outside my tent. He did not see the dawn this morning."

"The Susi-väki have no honour. They are lower than animals."

"Though the Susi-väki are cowardly dogs, there is some small honour in slaying them."

"If you listen, you can often hear Vesi-henki even beneath the frozen covering of an icy lake."

"Even those who do not know our ways should have sense enough to honour Vesi-hänki."

"In lands as inhospitable as these, it would be folly not to seek the favour of Vesi-hänki."
