Dialogue (Lieutenant Thackeray)
 * While the rest of the soldiers are out here enjoying each other's company, Gwen is secluding herself in the Hall of Monuments. It would mean a lot to me if you could spare a moment to check on her and make sure she's doing alright. No one should be alone at this time of year.


 * Accept: "I always have time for a friend in need."
 * Reject: "That's just how Gwen is. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna party like it's 1099."

Intermediate Dialogue 1 (Gwen)
 * ''Did you need something,, or have you just come to check up on me? Wintersday is a time to celebrate with family, and seeing everyone else together just... reminds me of all the people I've lost.
 * Don't misunderstand me, I'm glad the rest of the Vanguard are having a good time. I just don't want to bring them down because I'm not in the modd to celebrate. It's better for everyone if I keep to myself, okay?''

Intermediate Dialogue 2 (Lieutenant Thackeray)
 * ''I see. I understand how she feels. we need to make her understand that she's not alone; that the Ebon Vanguard is her family as well.
 * I have an idea, but it will take some work and a special kind of gift. If you're up to it, take this sketch of Gwen's emblem to Valgar Tempestcrafter. He's a Norn artisan who recently returned to Olafstead. He'll help if you tell him I sent you. We've worked together in the past.

Intermediate Dialogue 3 (Valgar Tempestcrafter)
 * You are a friend of the brave one called Thackeray? That one lived among us for a time. He has a Norn's courage and cunning, even if he has human blood. I am Valgar, shaper of fire magic and steel. I see Thackery requires one of my magical pendants, and wishes this emblem on it? The metal crafting won't take long. However, to truly fulfill Thackery's request, you must take the pendant into Varajar Fells where the shaman Lefsi Spiritchaser communes with the land of the dead. He will imbue it with the power of the spirits drawn to this symbol. I warn you, human, this task should not be taken lightly.

Intermediate Dialogue 4 (Lefsi Spiritchaser)
 * There have been whispers in the other world, and an echo of your footsteps. You walk the path of destiny tonight, human. I will perform the ritual of spirit-finding for you, but you will need to protect me while I commune with the dead. The gates to the spirit realm are weak this time of year, so be wary. There is no telling what might come through while I hold open the door.
