10TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000010_VARSHAHNBIG(-???-)My apologies for keeping you waiting.
21TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000020_ESTINIENVrtra, I presume.
32TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000030_VARSHAHNBIGIndeed. This vessel now serves as a host for my eye.
43TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000040_VARSHAHNBIGI was aware that the alchemists were busy preparing something, but this...
54TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000050_NIDHANAWe couldn't well send you on such a perilous mission unprepared, Your Excellency.
65TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000060_NIDHANAWe spared no effort in crafting the body, and I daresay you'll find it adept at wielding weapons and magicks both.
76TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000070_NIDHANA'Twas our intent to present it to you sooner, but we could not bring ourselves to do so knowing we could yet improve it further. Pray forgive us...
87TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000080_VARSHAHNBIGThere is naught to forgive. I am grateful for this fine vessel, and shall put it to good use.
98TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000090_VARSHAHNBIGAgain, I ask that you watch over Radz-at-Han in my absence. The dangers we go to face are great and many, and I fear I will be unable to give matters here due attention.
109TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000100_VARSHAHNBIGAnd in opening the voidgate, there is ever risk that voidsent will find their way into our world...
1110TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000110_NAHBDEENRest assured we are more than prepared.
1211TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000120_NAHBDEENOur soldiers have been training under Master Estinien. On my honor, we will not suffer a single fiend to pass.
1312TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000130_NAHBDEENSo think only of your mission, Varshahn.
1413TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000140_NAHBDEENAh, but seeing as this is a different body, perhaps we should use a different name?
1514TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000150_VARSHAHNBIGNay, Varshahn shall suffice. Though I may have thus grown up, I am as ever a little brother to you all.
1615TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000160_NAHBDEENAs you say, as you say. Go then, Varshahn, and best of luck!
1716TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000170_YSHTOLAI have something for you as well.
1817TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000180_YSHTOLAWhile you were gone, Urianger paid us a visit.
1918TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000190_YSHTOLAAs you may recall, he joined us on our foray into Alzadaal's Legacy in part to conduct research for the Loporrits.
2019TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000200_YSHTOLAResearch they were delighted to receive, and which has already inspired them to consider new ways to improve their own treasure vault.
2120TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000210_YSHTOLAAs a token of their gratitude, Livingway entrusted a familiar relic to Urianger...
2221TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000220_YSHTOLAAye, the crystal which showed the way to Meteion.
2322TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000230_YSHTOLAThe Loporrits no longer have need of it, and thus saw fit to return it to us.
2423TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000240_YSHTOLAHarboring the power of Light, it could well aid us in our mission in the void.
2524TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000250_YSHTOLAAnd who better to bear Hydaelyn's gift than Her chosen champion?
2625TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000260_VARSHAHNBIGIf there is nothing left to discuss, then let us depart. Our boat awaits us in Akyaali.
2726TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000270_VARSHAHNBIGI shall now lift the seal.
2827TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000280_VARSHAHNBIGIn the name of Alzadaal III... I cast open this door unto the void!
2928TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000290_YSHTOLAGo! Absorb the voidgate!
3029TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000300_YSHTOLAIt worked. We should have no trouble passing through a gate of that size.
3130TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000310_ESTINIENWhat can we expect to find after stepping through?
3231TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000320_VARSHAHNBIGOn my previous foray, I emerged in a castle swarming with voidsent.
3332TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000330_VARSHAHNBIGI was hopelessly outnumbered and forced to turn back. But together, I am confident we can hold our own.
3433TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000340_VARSHAHNBIGUpon our arrival, let us deal with any hostile entities and secure the area.
3534TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000350_VARSHAHNBIGThe command of our mission, I leave in your capable hands.
3635TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000360_VARSHAHNBIGIn the event of battle, I shall adapt my tactics to complement your own.
3736TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000370_YSHTOLAShould we require healing, I can provide it. 'Twould be a welcome change of pace from my recent havoc wreaking.
3837TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000380_VARSHAHNBIGTake heart, my friends, and have faith. We will brave this broken world and rescue my sister Azdaja!
3938TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000390_EARTHMONOLITHSsso the gate *did* open again. And delivered the most mouthwatering morselsss...

4342TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000430_ESTINIENThis Scarmiglione─he *knew* the gate had opened.
4443TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000440_YSHTOLAAnd not for the first time. He and his brethren must keep watch over the portal.
4544TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000450_VARSHAHNBIGAs we do ours. But to unflinchingly consume a fellow voidsent...
4645TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000460_VARSHAHNBIGLike men, perhaps they form factions and fight amongst themselves.
4746TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000470_ESTINIENThe question is, what will the minions do?
4847TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000480_ESTINIENYour mistress is no more, and the one who consumed her we slew in turn. Do you still mean to try us?
4948TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000490_YSHTOLAI expect some voidsent are more intelligent than others. Perhaps these ones simply do not understand our words.
5049TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000500_ESTINIENHmph. Even beasts ought to understand strength.
5150TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000510_VARSHAHNBIGThere is much we do not know about voidsent. If we are to survive their world, 'twould be wise to learn their ways.
5251TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICEWhat will you say?

5554TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000520_VARSHAHNBIGSage advice, my friend. 'Tis reassuring to have one so experienced with us.
5655TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000530_VARSHAHNBIGIf that is your preferred approach, then very well. I shall defer to your adventurer's intuition.
5756TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000540_VARSHAHNBIGI am here, Sister. Finally here. And I will find you─I swear it...
5857TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000550_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)You...

6059TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICEWhat will you say?
6160TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICEYou're the voidsent bound to Zenos!

6463TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000580_ESTINIENHow did it come to be here?
6564TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000590_YSHTOLAWhen Zenos died, its connection to the Source was severed. It was forced to return to the void.
6665TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000600_VARSHAHNBIGZenos? The disgraced prince you yourself laid low?
6766TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000610_YSHTOLAI see it now. The bottomless darkness. The insatiable hunger. The aura was present when we faced him in Garlemald.

6968TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000630_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Zenos...
7069TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000640_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Yes, that was his name. And you *are* the friend, are you not?
7170TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000650_YSHTOLAIs that...Hydaelyn's crystal!?
7271TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000660_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)But how?
7372TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000670_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)The light just now... Of course. And thus I am returned...
7473TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000680_VARSHAHNBIGWhat do you mean, “returned”? Who are you?
7574TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000690_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)I was once bound to the man named Zenos.
7675TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000700_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)His “avatar”─until you killed him.
7776TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000710_YSHTOLA“Avatar” as in the voidsent servants of reapers.
7877TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000720_YSHTOLA“Avatar” as in the voidsent servants of reapers.
7978TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000730_YSHTOLAIn the name of his hunt, Zenos took up that traditional Garlean art.
8079TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000740_YSHTOLAAnd through it, he forged a covenant with a being of the void to lend him strength.
8180TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000750_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)“Covenant”? A curse, more like. He stole my power. There was no equity in the arrangement.
8281TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000760_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)My very essence was altered. Twisted into a tool to serve his desires.
8382TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000770_VARSHAHNBIGYour previous appearance. This is your true form, then?
8483TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000780_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Perhaps. Perhaps not. What does it matter?
8584TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000790_ESTINIENIndeed. It doesn't.
8685TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000800_ESTINIENRegardless of your form, you are a voidsent by nature.
8786TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000810_ESTINIENSo answer me this: are you our enemy too?
8887TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000820_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)In this world, only a fool would attempt to devour a stronger being.
8988TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000830_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)And though it was as an avatar, I lost to you once. I have no desire to lose again.
9089TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000840_ESTINIENGood enough for me.
9190TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000850_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Now, you will answer me a question.
9291TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000860_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Zenos called you “friend.” That's what you are? A friend?
9392TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICEWhat will you say?
9493TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICEStrictly speaking, I'm Player Player.
9594TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICEWhatever Zenos may have said, I wasn't his friend.

9897TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000880_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Then...
9998TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000890_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)What is it? What is a friend?
10099TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000900_EARTHMONOLITHReport if displayed.
101100TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000910_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)This is where I belong. My home. This endless darkness you call the void...
102101TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000920_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)There was once light here, and it shone its warmth upon creation. The lands were green and the seas were blue. Life flourished.
103102TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000930_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Before the war. The Contramemoria.
104103TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000940_VARSHAHNBIGIt must have been a terrible war indeed...
105104TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000950_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)It shattered the balance, causing Darkness to engulf the world.
106105TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000960_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)All life was transformed into monstrosities─voidsent.
107106TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000970_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)*We* are the natural order now.
108107TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000980_YSHTOLAAs Light begat sin eaters, Darkness begat voidsent.
109108TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000990_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)The sun was driven from the sky as fleeting day yielded to endless night. In time, even land and sea lost their distinction.
110109TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001000_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)And though the spark of reason had died in us, driven by memory's shadow, we formed factions and carved out domains.
111110TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001010_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)This castle, for instance. Its erstwhile lord must have abided in such a place once upon a time.
112111TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001020_YSHTOLAIf I may... The Darkness in you is too much for any man to harbor; to my eyes, you are indeed a voidsent.
113112TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001030_YSHTOLAYet your knowledge of the past and your demeanor mark you apart from your brethren.
114113TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001040_YSHTOLAYou are different, that much is plain. But in what way, I am unsure.
115114TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001050_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As you say, I am voidsent. But only in part.
116115TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001060_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)The Darkness touched my mother when the war had only just begun. When I was still in the womb.
117116TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001070_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As a child, I looked like any other. But Darkness coursed through me, and I ceased to age when I'd become a woman grown.
118117TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001080_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)But that was then, and now...I may as well be one in full.
119118TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001090_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)I prey on the weak and serve the strong. I live to survive. Nothing more.
120119TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001100_YSHTOLAForgive me, 'twas not my intent to pry...
121120TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001110_YSHTOLAI realize, too, that I've neglected to ask your name.
122121TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001120_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As we say “mortal,” you may call me “voidsent.”
123122TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001130_VARSHAHNBIGThat is liable to cause confusion. If you are not averse, we would address you by your true name.
124123TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001140_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Then call me what you will. I care not.
125124TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001150_YSHTOLAHow about...“Zero”?
126125TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001160_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Meaning “nothing”? A name as fitting as any.
127126TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001170_YSHTOLANo, not “nothing,” but rather a “beginning.” For it remains to be seen what you will become to us.
128127TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001180_MYSTERIOUSPERSON(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As I said, I care not. Zero, then.

133132TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001200_MYSTERIOUSPERSONA name is a string of sounds. Its meaning has no bearing on my nature.
134133TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001210_VARSHAHNBIGWell, Zero. While there is no end to the questions we could ask, 'tis only fair that we tell you our purpose in coming here.

139138TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001260_VARSHAHNBIGDid you say something?

152151TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001380_YSHTOLAOf course. In the First, the power of Light─of passivity─prevents life from emerging in the Empty.
153152TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001390_YSHTOLABut in the Thirteenth, the power of Darkness─of activity─prevents life from finding rest, even should soul be separated from flesh.
154153TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001400_VARSHAHNBIGSo unless one's essence is absorbed by another, 'tis possible to return again and again...

161160TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001470_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThat you would. But you already owe me a debt, and until you make good on it, I won't lift a finger.
162161TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001480_MYSTERIOUSPERSONWe'll speak after you have won. But know that if you lose, I'll help myself to your aether.
163162TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001490_EARTHMONOLITHThat a bothersome duty should deliver to me this lavish feassst...

165164TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001510_EARTHMONOLITHWhen will you learn? No matter what you do, you cannot hope to win.
166165TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001520_YSHTOLAYou never know until you try, and I'm always happy to experiment.

347346TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003270_VARSHAHNBIGIs there aught we can do to expedite her recovery? If her aether is exhausted, perhaps I can share some of mine now...
348347TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003280_YSHTOLAIn the wastelands of the Thirteenth, one can only replenish aether by taking it from others, be it by trade or by force.
349348TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003290_YSHTOLAIn contrast, the Source is rich in ambient aether.

354353TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003340_YSHTOLAI know you promised her your aether, but perhaps she might appreciate fine Hannish cuisine more.
355354TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003350_VARSHAHNBIGFood can certainly be arranged.
356355TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003360_ESTINIENShe looks like any other person. Unsurprising, perhaps, given that she is only part voidsent.
357356TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003370_YSHTOLAZero said before that Zenos had altered her essence.
358357TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003380_YSHTOLAA change wrought, I suspect, with the power of Darkness. It acted upon the part of her that is voidsent, rendering it dominant. Thus we were able to reverse it with the power of Light.
359358TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003390_YSHTOLAI labor to believe that Zenos possessed such arcane knowledge. In all likelihood, it came from Fandaniel.
360359TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003400_YSHTOLAWere Zero wholly voidsent, I doubt the crystal would have had an effect on her.
361360TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003410_YSHTOLAOne might say that Hydaelyn had a hand in your meeting.
362361TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003420_VARSHAHNBIG'Tis no exaggeration to say that Zero has proven herself invaluable─a boon from Hydaelyn Herself.
363362TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003430_VARSHAHNBIGHer cooperation may come at a price, but whatever it is, I am willing to pay it. Exhausting though it may be at times.

373372TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003530_NIDHANAYou're in the Source, my dear─the world next door, so to speak. The others brought you here after you collapsed.

383382TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003630_YSHTOLAThe long years without eating may have dulled your sense of taste.
384383TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003640_MYSTERIOUSPERSONWell, we voidsent have no need for such when consuming others.
385384TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003650_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThere are some who speak of “taste” when describing the quality and affinity of their prey's aether...
386385TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003660_MYSTERIOUSPERSONBut I loathe the act. Taking aether in small amounts like this is one thing, but diluting my essence─diminishing myself? I'd sooner die.
387386TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003670_MYSTERIOUSPERSONAnd I have died. Countless times.

389388TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003690_MYSTERIOUSPERSONNot much. After a while, you return, together with all your expended life force.
390389TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003700_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThe important thing is to die where others won't devour you.
391390TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003710_NIDHANAAmazing! My peers who study immortality and resurrection would be most interested in this phenomenon!
392391TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003720_VARSHAHNThe question of taste aside, I am glad that you are able to partake of food like us. I daresay it agrees with your personal preferences.
393392TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003730_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThat's true. You can keep giving me the same on a regular basis.
394393TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003740_VARSHAHNVery well. As my guest, I shall see that you do not want for comfort.

398397TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003780_MYSTERIOUSPERSON...Except for yours, perhaps. You intend to cross over again, I take it?

401400TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003810_YSHTOLAThough if our recent experience has taught us anything, 'tis that the Thirteenth is more dangerous than we ever imagined. Caution must be our watchword.
402401TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003820_MYSTERIOUSPERSONBetter late than never. In the short time you spent in our world, you left a trail of chaos in your wake.
403402TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003830_MYSTERIOUSPERSONYou managed to return in one piece this time, but don't assume you'll be so lucky the next.

412411TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003920_VARSHAHNConsidering your origin, I can see why that might be your first observation. Though they would call each other “people,” I think.

414413TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003940_MYSTERIOUSPERSONNo need─I'll show myself around. There's only so much about my home I can share with you in return, after all.
415414TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003950_MYSTERIOUSPERSONWhile I remember some few tales of the past, I cannot speak to their authenticity.
416415TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003960_MYSTERIOUSPERSONBut if that is enough, then I will tell you of the events that saw Darkness engulf our world─the Contramemoria.
417416TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003970_VARSHAHNWe are all ears. Please.
418417TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003980_MYSTERIOUSPERSONLong ago, Light filled the world, and all was at peace.
419418TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003990_MYSTERIOUSPERSONBut then the servants of Darkness came, and they bequeathed a black art unto men.
420419TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004000_MYSTERIOUSPERSONChanneling the power of hope and prayer, one could call forth fearsome beings known as eidolons.
421420TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004010_YSHTOLAThe Ascians. And these eidolons are surely primals.
422421TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004020_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThen you have faced the same, and understand that when an eidolon is birthed, strife follows. And in such strife, the weak are first to suffer.
423422TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004030_MYSTERIOUSPERSONWhen it seemed the world would be plunged into chaos, heroes appeared─they who were blessed with a singular power.
424423TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004040_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThe power to bind the aether of eidolons within crystals known as memoria.
425424TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004050_MYSTERIOUSPERSONMy mother was one such memoriate. But in fighting to save many, she herself was touched by Darkness─as was I.
426425TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004060_YSHTOLAAnd so you were born part voidsent. Before the world was overcome?
427426TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004070_VARSHAHNHow exactly did that calamity come to pass? Did the memoriates not triumph?
428427TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004080_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThey did. They expunged the seeds of chaos and restored the peace...only to find themselves seduced by the Darkness they had sealed.
429428TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004090_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThey spread the taint, transforming men into monsters─what you call voidsent─and raised armies to wage new wars.
430429TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004100_ESTINIENNot the first to be corrupted by power─nor the last.
431430TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004110_MYSTERIOUSPERSONSome defied temptation and held fast to the Light, my mother and I among them.
432431TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004120_MYSTERIOUSPERSONFor years and years we fought, but it was not enough. And when our strength was spent, our bulwarks broken, so too was the world.
433432TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004130_YSHTOLAThe Flood of Darkness...
434433TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004140_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThe stars faded from the heavens as a pall black as pitch enveloped creation. Darkness raged unchecked, rending the very walls of reality.
435434TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004150_MYSTERIOUSPERSONI was cast into the rift, and there trapped for what felt like an eternity.
436435TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004160_MYSTERIOUSPERSONUntil I came upon a crack. Tiny, infinitesimal─but enough for me to squeeze through...
437436TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004170_MYSTERIOUSPERSON...And find my world changed beyond recognition. Into the lightless waste you saw.
438437TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004180_VARSHAHNSo that is how you were able to escape becoming a voidsent in full.
439438TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004190_MYSTERIOUSPERSONI suppose I should consider myself fortunate. Were I like most others, I wouldn't have lasted a day before being devoured.
440439TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004200_MYSTERIOUSPERSONWe the lost are better equipped to survive in a lost world.
441440TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004210_YSHTOLAA lost world, you say?
442441TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004220_YSHTOLAI wouldn't be so sure. The Thirteenth is still there, is it not?

444443TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004240_YSHTOLATo explain requires that we initiate you into the truth of the Source and its reflections. Be warned that this will take a while...
445444TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004250_MYSTERIOUSPERSONThen...unlike the worlds that have been rejoined, mine still...
446445TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004260_YSHTOLAThe Oracle of Light prevented the First from being completely overcome, so the situation may not be completely identical to that of your Thirteenth.
447446TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004270_YSHTOLABut the fact remains that we were able to restore a measure of balance to a world brought to the brink of destruction.
448447TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004280_YSHTOLAAfter which, some intrepid young souls succeeded in restoring life back to lands thought lost to Light.
449448TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004290_YSHTOLAWhich gives me cause to hope the day may yet come when life springs forth anew in the Thirteenth.
450449TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004300_YSHTOLAWhich gives me cause to hope there may be a way to restore Light and life to the Thirteenth.
451450TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004310_YSHTOLAOf course, these are only possibilities. I offer no guarantees.
452451TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004320_YSHTOLABut having experienced what we have, I daresay we are more qualified than most to speak on the matter.
453452TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004330_MYSTERIOUSPERSONWait, I don't understand. Why would you say these things? As if you mean to...
454453TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004335_MYSTERIOUSPERSONBut the sole reason you came to the void was...
455454TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004340_ESTINIENTo find a dragon, aye. And in light of what we've seen, we'd be fools to strive for more.
456455TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004350_ESTINIENBut we Scions─former Scions, begging your pardon─have a habit of not leaving well enough alone.
457456TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004360_ESTINIENAnd old habits die hard, don't they, my friend?
458457TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004370_VARSHAHNRestoring the Light would serve our efforts to find and free Azdaja. There is no reason not to try.
459458TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004380_MYSTERIOUSPERSON...Do as you will. I have no desire to save that world.
460459TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004390_VARSHAHNBe that as it may, we will have need of your power when next we face voidsent.
