Trials of the Hero

"A goat will run if you strike it. A jackal may bite if you give chase. Only man can choose to do nothing. The path of restraint is often the hardest. I pose to you a question—one that still haunts me. Abide with me and listen carefully."

Yes. Go on. "You are a scout for a great army, perched on a mountainside. In the pass below, a band of enemy soldiers slowly approach the position of your dearest friend. Do you abandon your post to help your friend, or do you remain hidden to report the attack?"
I help my friend. "Yes, your friend may die if you do not render aid. But if you fail to report the assault, is not the entire army put at risk? How many men could lose their lives for this one soldier? One's loyalties are truly put to the test."
I remain hidden. "So, you place duty above personal concerns. Your superiors would be pleased, certainly … but could you bear the guilt? Could you walk all the long trails of your life knowing that your inaction led to the death of your closest friend?"
Trials and Tribulations

"I sense great determination in you, living one, but very few of the living are foolish enough to trespass in these hallowed halls. Even fewer are foolish enough to seek entrance into the Chamber of Passage. This is your intention though, is it not?"

Yes, and your father has given me his blessing. "Then you have already achieved in life that which gave me great difficulty. My father's influence, though, was only one aspect of what guided my life's purpose. In truth, it was my mother's role, the sacrifice she made, that defined my destiny."
What sacrifice did your mother make? "When Emperor Hira's soldiers came to arrest me, they struck my mother and she was slain. It wasn't until that moment I embraced the way of the sword. To earn my blessing, light the braziers in the chamber above in the colors to honor her sacrifice."
All right. How do I light the braziers? "You'll find the braziers are already lit. You must simply cycle through the colors on each brazier to match the memory of my mother's final moments. It's getting the colors in the correct order that matters."
How do I know the order of the colors? "Turn and observe the moment of my mother's sacrifice. Remember it as I do. Take it into your heart and light the fires of my memory."
I'll light the braziers in the colors of your memory.

Conversations[]

Trials of the Hero

Frandar Hunding: "We must consider negotiation, my son." Divad Hunding: "To the dogs with that! Hira has killed my mother—he killed your wife!" Frandar Hunding: "What you say is true. But many more wives and sisters will die if we take up the sword." Divad Hunding: "This cave has made a coward of you! We must fight!"

When nearing his shrine:

Sword Saint: "The Goblins approach, my lord. They will slaughter our scouts!" Divad Hunding: "We must hold this pass or the war is lost. Their sacrifice will be remembered always." Sword Saint: "Many of our noblest warriors will be slain! How can you turn your back to them?"
