Dialogue[]
When the Vestige rescues Prince Azah:
"I don't recognize you, but under the circumstances, I'm certainly glad to make you acquaintance. You will be well-rewarded for assisting me. I can promise that much."
- I'm just glad I found you, Your Highness. "Ah, so you do know who I am then? Did my father put you up to this? Is he keeping tabs on me? Well ... I shouldn't be so accusatory. If he was tracking me, then I guess that turned out to be extremely fortunate."
After completing the "Rise of the Dead" quest Vestige talks with Prince Azah:
"I don't wish to seem ungrateful, but you should know that kidnapping me was just a distracion. The Withered Hand-they've been planning this for years. If only we had heard the rumors sooner .... At this point, I don't think we can stop them."
- Stop them from doing what? "From tunneling into the Impervious Vault. This tunnel was just one ot their attempts. It's a brilliant plan really. The gates of the vault have been magically sealed for centuries, but underneath, the vault's apparently not so impervious."
- Why do they want to break in to the vault? "Undoubtedly they're hopping to steal the Ansei Wards. With the wards, uwafa and Alasan could become unimaginably powerful. It could be bad. Really bad. Even if we can't stop them, we have to try. We should get back to the palace and tell my father."
- Sure. Let me untie you.
- Why do they want to break in to the vault? "Undoubtedly they're hopping to steal the Ansei Wards. With the wards, uwafa and Alasan could become unimaginably powerful. It could be bad. Really bad. Even if we can't stop them, we have to try. We should get back to the palace and tell my father."
At the start of the quest:
"I heard the commotion out there, and somehow I knew it was you. I can't tell you how good it is to see you, my illustrious friend. As you can see, we are in dire straits here, and it's on the verge of getting even worse."
- How will it get any worse? "That fiend Alasan is here! With Uwafa dead, he has the Withered Hand dedicated to his own twisted designs. He seeks power. The reason they aren't raising these people—it's because Alasan plans to turn himself into a lich!"
- How would he turn himself into a lich? "He has corrupted one of the Ansei Wards, and he's using some kind of necromantic focuses to channel energy from the the dead for a ritual he's conducting in the lighthouse. He says this ritual will make him a lich. Will you help me stop him?"
- Yes. Just tell me what I need to do. "I believe it's best to destroy the focuses first. Alasan's minions have been piling the dead around them, and they seem to be channeling energy for the ritual. Destroy the focuses; then go to the lighthouse and find a way to disrupt Alasan's ritual."
- How did you learn of Alasan's plan to become a lich? "When we arrived, the necromancers had already killed everyone. We snuck up to spy on them, and I saw Alasan. Evil has twisted his features, but I knew him. He was ranting about this ritual to become a lich. We attacked, but you see how that went."
- You knew Alasan before? "Yes. He and Uwafa both. Since we were knee-high to a dune beetle. We studied together, but they were always sadistic, obsessed with death. That was before their father turned of course … if only we had killed them all back then."
- Why did they come to Tava's Blessing? "My father sent me here because he feared the Withered Hand might target our navy. I don't think that's why they came, though. It seems that many centuries ago, this was the home of one of the Ansei who sacrificed themselves to create the Wards."
- Why would that matter? "I suspect it has something to do with Alasan's plan to become a lich. If this is where the Ansei was born, perhaps Alasan had to bring the Ward here in order to corrupt it. That's just my theory, of course."
- How have things been going in Sentinel? "Not good, I'm afraid. Rumors about the Ansei Wards being stolen run rampant, and every day, there are new reports of risen dead. The Crowns and some Forebears are calling for my father to step down … there's even talk of rebellion."
- How did you learn of Alasan's plan to become a lich? "When we arrived, the necromancers had already killed everyone. We snuck up to spy on them, and I saw Alasan. Evil has twisted his features, but I knew him. He was ranting about this ritual to become a lich. We attacked, but you see how that went."
- Yes. Just tell me what I need to do. "I believe it's best to destroy the focuses first. Alasan's minions have been piling the dead around them, and they seem to be channeling energy for the ritual. Destroy the focuses; then go to the lighthouse and find a way to disrupt Alasan's ritual."

After trapping Alasan in the Ansei Ward:
"What foulness is afoot now? The dead have risen? I thought Alasan was purposefully not raising them! Were we too late? Has Alasan made himself into a lich?"
- No. Alasan is no longer a threat. "He's not? We should rejoice then! That bastard! I relish the knowledge of his defeat. Without him, the rest of these necromancers do not concern me. Not in the least. But what of the Ansei Ward? Do you have it?"
- Yes, but the Ansei asked me to give it to someone I trust. "And you brought it to me …? That's quite an honor. I promise you, for as long as I live, it will not fall into enemy hands again. Now, only the final Ansei Ward remains … but if Uwafa and Alasan are gone, who has it?"
- Ansei Maja said there is another sibling. "Another sibling? But who could that be …? Wait, Suturah did have another child, a very young daughter. I remember her now, nipping at her brothers' heels … but I do not remember her name. Somehow we must find her though."
- Yes, but the Ansei asked me to give it to someone I trust. "And you brought it to me …? That's quite an honor. I promise you, for as long as I live, it will not fall into enemy hands again. Now, only the final Ansei Ward remains … but if Uwafa and Alasan are gone, who has it?"
Amputating the Hand[]
When rescuing him:
"Damn it all! I can't believe you're finding me like this again! It was humiliating enough the last time! There's no time for jests, though. The Withered Hand has stolen back the Ansei Wards we recovered! They have all three again!"
- How did that happen? "You gave Ansei Maja's Ward to me for safekeeping, and so I was holding onto it. Throne Keeper Farvad was here too with Ansei Radan's Ward …. I think Shiri planned it this way. I think she lured us here to get the Wards back."
- What makes you think Shiri planned all this? "Isn't it obvious? She was fooling us all. Apprenticing with Scholar Zohreh so she could learn about the Ansei Wards, coming along with us to Tava's Blessing … she is diabolical! She is … like her father. She is the sibling we were warned about!"
- How do we stop her? "I don't know. I don't even know what she's planning. If we get the Ansei Wards back, that should at least slow her down though. Shiri took Ansei Maja's Ward into the next room, where she performed some kind of ritual."
- Is she still in there? "No. After she finished the ritual, she left, but I think the Ward is still in there. Please. You have to go in there and get it, and then find Throne Keeper Farvad and the Ward he was carrying. I'll catch up … if you'll untie me first, that is."
- I'll untie you and then be on my way.
- I have more questions first? "That's fine. If you could just untie me and let me stand up first, I'll answer all your questions."
- Is she still in there? "No. After she finished the ritual, she left, but I think the Ward is still in there. Please. You have to go in there and get it, and then find Throne Keeper Farvad and the Ward he was carrying. I'll catch up … if you'll untie me first, that is."
- How do we stop her? "I don't know. I don't even know what she's planning. If we get the Ansei Wards back, that should at least slow her down though. Shiri took Ansei Maja's Ward into the next room, where she performed some kind of ritual."
- What makes you think Shiri planned all this? "Isn't it obvious? She was fooling us all. Apprenticing with Scholar Zohreh so she could learn about the Ansei Wards, coming along with us to Tava's Blessing … she is diabolical! She is … like her father. She is the sibling we were warned about!"
Outside the Central Tomb:
"I can't believe it. I thought Throne Keeper Farvad had met a grisly end. He's tough for a priest, a little strange, but tough. I'm glad you managed to find him, and Ansei Radan's Ward."
When making your choice:
"We've been together in this battle since the beginning. You know I'll do whatever it takes to destroy the Withered Hand. That said, Shiri's already proven more than a match for me. We have to win this one, and you know best how to do that."
- You're the prince. You really want to take this risk? "To be honest, I feel like Shiri's made a monkey out of me. That little waif who once nipped at her brothers' heels … and she beat me. I'll fight with you for revenge, if nothing else. Besides, to enter a battle with you—that's no risk."
- I want you join [sic] [Do not change this to to join. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.] me then, Your Highness.
- I need a moment before I make this decision.
Conversations[]
Amputating the Hand[]
If Talia at-Marimah was chosen to accompany the Vestige in the fight against Shiri:
Talia at-Marimah: "Excellent. We shall put down Shiri as my father put down Suturah before." Throne Keeper Farvad: "Tu'whacca demands justice be done!" Prince Azah: "This wall will not stand before the power of an Ansei Ward." Talia at-Marimah: "It is done. Lead on."
