Great Lodge of Sûri-kylä dialogues

NPCs in the Great Lodge of Sûri-kylä will speak to each other at certain intervals:

Pentti & Rikitsa

Pentti says, "Rikitsa, my messengers claim to have seen Rauta-väki camps near the Ironspan."

Pentti says, "If it is true that they have come at last into Forochel, then your hunters must have known of their arrival."

Pentti says, "Why have you not spoken of this at the Council till now?"

Rikitsa says, "There is unrest in the southern lands, dear Pentti. Surely you have heard the rumors?"

Rikitsa says, "The Rauta-väki claim to hold the Ironspan to prevent aggression against their lands from the South and West."

Rikitsa says, "Their presence here does not concern our people."

Pentti says, "How can you say this does not concern us!?"

Pentti says, "Angmar intrudes upon lands that have been ours for generations!"

Pentti says, "They risk bringing their foreign war here, when we already have troubles enough!"

Rikitsa says, "It is not the Rauta-väki, but the Torni-väki that bring war to our doorstep!"

Rikitsa says, "I have spoken openly with the Emissaries of Angmar, while the Torni-väki skulk about, hooded and sly."

Rikitsa says, "They are a motley lot at best, and hardly a force to be reckoned with."

Rikitsa says, "Why the Kivi-väki were not here a day before they fell to squabbling over the old mines to the south."

Rikitsa says, "Whilst the Vanha-väki have never offered any boon to the Lossoth. Likely they look down upon us in their arrogance."

Pentti says, "I do indeed hear rumors, Rikitsa, dark ones mostly."

Pentti says, "I have heard it said that the Dourhands are puppets of Angmar."

Pentti says, "I have even heard whispers that the Gauredain have fallen under their sway."

Rikitsa says, "You put too much trust in the words of the Men of the South."

Rikitsa says, "Already the Rauta-väki have offered to help negotiate a peace between us and the Gauredain!"

Pentti says, "At what cost? Shall we give over the hunting grounds of Länsi-mâ then?"

Pentti says, "How will we feed our people when the catch fails?"

Rikitsa says, "Trade with Angmar will allow us to survive the lean years, should it come to that."

Pentti says, "Trade, eh? That's a fancy word for tribute if I've ever heard one."

Rikitsa says, "You are too naive, dear Pentti. You know too little of the world beyond these frozen shores."

Rikitsa says, "Great events are unfolding, events that shall consume and destroy the clans if we do not act wisely."

Rikitsa says, "The armies of Angmar are vast and even so they are not so great as the hosts of the far-off Dark Land, it is said."

Rikitsa says, "We must choose our allies carefully, for the sake of our people."

Ilta, Launo, & Menikko

Launo says, "The Gauredain have overstepped their bounds this time!"

Launo says, "Their hunters ambush our own relentlessly, driving us from our traditional hunting grounds."

Launo says, "It is time we gathered the clans to strike back at them!"

Menikko says, "There has always been strife between our people and the Gauredain."

Menikko says, "Would you have it come to war as well?"

Menikko says, "Many men will die should we gather to arms and raise their ire further."

Ilta says, "I think it is too late for such concerns my friend."

Ilta says, "The fishermen are saying that this year's catch looks feeble."

Ilta says, "If we let go the hunting grounds to the Gauredain, our people may starve during the darkest months."

Ilta says, "I fear we are left with little choice."

Menikko says, "So you are saying that our sons shall die either by hunger or by spear?"

Menikko says, "That is no choice at all..."

Launo says, "If some must die, then I say let it be with honor, by the spear!"

Launo says, "And let the Gauredain die for their trespass!"

Launo says, "Then at least our families need not cower in fear, slowly starving during the Long Night."

Menikko says, "Have you known war Launo? I have..."

Menikko says, "It does not end so cleanly or honorably as you imagine."

Menikko says, "The dying hunter sees no glory - only his end."

Menikko says, "It may well be that you are right, but we shall rue this day's decision none the less for it."
