49,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_002","Ah, but introductions are in order. I am Zeycihan, professor of archaeology at the Studium. At the behest of the former Head of Reason, I was invited to oversee various archaeological expeditions throughout Tural."
50,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_003","I heard from a little bird in Vollok Shoonsa that you, a most renowned adventurer, had made your way to the continent, and could think of no better individual to aid me in uncovering its history."

52,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_005","I chartered a balloon to examine a point of interest in Shaaloani, you see, and soon discovered ruins which have been unseen for nigh a millennium! “Surely, Lady Luck is on my side,” I thought. But alas, things soon took a turn for the worse..."
53,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_006","In the spirit of inquiry, I hired a group of mercenaries for protection and made my first foray into the area, but we were no more than halfway through before a host of fierce fiends barred our approach. Truth be told, 'tis a miracle we even made it out alive."
54,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_007","Yet for a seasoned explorer like you, I daresay delving into the deepest recesses of such ruins unharmed would be child's play. What do you say? Would you aid my investigation, and embark on this new adventure?"
55,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_008","I knew you wouldn't disappoint! The ruins lie beyond the river north of Lake Toari in Shaaloani. Let us continue our conversation there!"

58,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_012","Doubtless the ruins have remained untouched for all these years due to its barbed environs. After all, none would wish to become the victim of their thousand thousand needles!"
59,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_013","Though I believed the ruins nested deep within the valley to be Yok Huy in origin, a closer inspection revealed motifs even I could not recognize. There's a new discovery waiting to be found within, I'm sure of it!"

65,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_031","Now, tell me of your expedition. I wish to hear <Emphasis>everything</Emphasis>! What did you see? What was hidden deep within those ruins?"

67,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_033","This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a significant discovery regarding Xak Tural's history. Tell me, what thoughts have you concerning the valley's depths?"

72,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_A1_000_004","I've no doubt there were many gospels that foretold of the great serpent's majesty."
73,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_035","Yes, just as I predicted! Compared to other Yok Huy ruins, the magicked mechanisms you mention are quite astonishing... I am all but certain they based the technology on that of an earlier civilization."
74,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_036","Bwah!? Truly? Such a claim is invaluable testimony!"
75,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_037","Clearly the sheer grandeur of seeing these ancient ruins has left you in a daze. To put you in such a state bespeaks its occult nature... I'm more and more convinced this is a groundbreaking discovery!"
76,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_038","You know of the legendary inscriptions said to be writ by an illustrious Yok Huy of eld!? I am most impressed. I've yet to fully decipher them, but my, if the creature described in chapter fifty-six, verse three is in fact the great serpent, this is a most intriguing discovery indeed!"
77,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_039","Based on your descriptions, it is likely that the ancient Yok Huy simultaneously feared <Emphasis>and</Emphasis> revered this serpent of unfathomable power, and after encountering it, constructed the temple to conceal it from the world."

79,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_041","In my capacity as a professor of the Studium, I've taken the liberty of reading the Scions' report concerning the Source, its reflections, and the civilizations therein for myself."
80,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_042","Their findings indicate that the sundering diminished mankind's intelligence to that of beasts. The flourishing civilization of the ancients was forgotten, and the peoples of each reflection set out on separate paths, forging disparate civilizations of their own..."
81,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_00_043","Yet can we say that these civilizations worlds apart are truly so different? If we all came from one shared, ancient heritage, would it not be natural that the development of each society and culture bear similarities to one another?"
82,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_044","What I am trying to say, is that it is entirely possible a society which predates the Yok Huy and bears similarities to ancient Ronka once existed in the Source!"
83,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_045","Naturally, it is necessary to conduct further research regarding <Emphasis>how</Emphasis> twin civilizations born in two separate worlds developed under entirely different environments. Nevertheless, your discovery today has provided further proof of the plausibility of my theory!"
84,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_046","On that subject, I would ask you to join me on another adventure─one markedly less fraught with danger. As one who has traversed beyond the rift to the First, your knowledge and insight concerning ancient Ronka are invaluable."
85,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_047","I would journey to Worlar's Echo and speak with a chronicler of the Yok Huy, that I may learn of their legends─who knows, we may just discover some striking parallels to the culture of ancient Ronka!"
86,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_049","Master Zeycihan has told me of his request. I hope that I am able to be of some help."
87,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_050","I am pleased to see you made it, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I came by alpaca, and for a blessing, felt no pain in my lower back the entire ride. Perhaps the medicinal applications of sabotender needles is a field deserving of further study."
88,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_051","Ahem. A subject for another time, perhaps. The personage before us is the selfsame individual who informed me that Yok Huy ruins may exist in Shaaloani."
89,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_100_051","They looked after me when I came here previously to conduct fieldwork, and are an extraordinarily erudite individual, well-versed in ancient legends."
90,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_052","Tell me, my friend. Based on what I've shared with you, were you able to find any commonalities between the legends of your people and the ruins we discovered in Xak Tural?"
91,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_053","Excluding those concerning disease, precious few stories of our ancestors who traversed north have been passed down."
92,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_054","But, for the valiant warrior who brought the Skyruin low, I would share with you a story regarding the great serpent─one we normally would not disclose to outsiders. Please, follow me to the Indelible Passage. The murals shall explain all."
93,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_060","So these are the murals which depict the legends of the Yok Huy! When I was previously here for research, I was not allowed in this far!"
94,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_100_061","A legend concerning the great serpent is hidden within this mural. Pray gaze upon it carefully, as I weave for you an ancient tale..."
95,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_061","Long, long ago, a sect of our ancestors forged north. There, deep within a valley, they discovered the remains of an ancient temple."
96,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_062","Its inhabitants had long perished, and the purpose for which the structure existed was itself an enigma. Yet when our forebears finally delved into its furthest recesses, they discovered a great serpent deep in slumber."
97,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_063","It should be noted, our people revere serpents as divine creatures who govern the boundary between worlds. To behold one of such immense power, dormant there within the ruins, they believed it best to build a temple around its chambers, and offer prayers for its divine protection."
98,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_064","Yet in the ensuing years, our people were plagued by disease. Time and again our ancestors offered supplications for divine assistance, but no matter how fervent their prayers, the great serpent never deigned to answer them."
99,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_065","In the end, a great many of our forebears withdrew from the northern lands. Only the most devout worshipers of the great serpent remained, but they too would eventually withdraw in a somber procession, having buried too many brothers and sisters."
100,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_066","The sect who remained prayed for the great serpent's awakening─they prayed for a salvation that would never come..."
101,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_067","Yet why should it awaken now? And what incited its aggression? Was it simply by chance that it roused in so foul a mood, or is there perhaps some underlying reason we've yet to uncover?"
102,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_068","The devout who held vigil of the temple held this belief: “When the great serpent doth awaken, its coil shall envelop the world.” In other words, the creature's discovery was itself a pretext to legitimize their territorial expansion north."
103,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_069","Yet their prayers fell on deaf ears. Only now, before our benefactor, has the great serpent finally awoken. A peculiar, but altogether fascinating turn of events."
104,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_080","If the being you encountered truly was divine, mayhap it is you who shall receive its blessings."
105,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_070","If we consider that our friend here, a traveler capable of crossing the rift 'twixt worlds, was blessed by a being who governs that boundary, would that not fit the interpretation held by the sect who remained?"
106,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_071","At any rate, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s testimony and the legends of the Yok Huy shall go a long way in verifying my theory."

108,"TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_074","Does the inception of civilization and its infancy bear similarities in each reflection? Was there some localized connection between them, such as a planar fissure? Or perhaps there was some all-powerful “Keeper of Whispers” peering through the veil."

49,TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_002,"Ah, but introductions are in order. I am Zeycihan, professor of archaeology at the Studium. At the behest of the former Head of Reason, I was invited to oversee various archaeological expeditions throughout Tural."
50,TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_003,"I heard from a little bird in Vollok Shoonsa that you, a most renowned adventurer, had made your way to the continent, and could think of no better individual to aid me in uncovering its history."

53,TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_006,"In the spirit of inquiry, I hired a group of mercenaries for protection and made my first foray into the area, but we were no more than halfway through before a host of fierce fiends barred our approach. Truth be told, 'tis a miracle we even made it out alive."

55,TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_008,I knew you wouldn't disappoint! The ruins lie beyond the river north of Lake Toari in Shaaloani. Let us continue our conversation there!

Nevertheless, your discovery today has provided further proof of the plausibility of my theory!"
84,TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_046,"On that subject, I would ask you to join me on another adventure─one markedly less fraught with danger. As one who has traversed beyond the rift to the First, your knowledge and insight concerning ancient Ronka are invaluable."

97,TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_063,"It should be noted, our people revere serpents as divine creatures who govern the boundary between worlds. To behold one of such immense power, dormant there within the ruins, they believed it best to build a temple around its chambers, and offer prayers for its divine protection."

101,TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_ZEYCIHAN_000_067,"Yet why should it awaken now? And what incited its aggression? Was it simply by chance that it roused in so foul a mood, or is there perhaps some underlying reason we've yet to uncover?"
102,TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_068,"The devout who held vigil of the temple held this belief: “When the great serpent doth awaken, its coil shall envelop the world.” In other words, the creature's discovery was itself a pretext to legitimize their territorial expansion north."
103,TEXT_KINGYX101_05013_TELLER05013_000_069,"Yet their prayers fell on deaf ears. Only now, before our benefactor, has the great serpent finally awoken. A peculiar, but altogether fascinating turn of events."
