Dialogue (Tosi)
 * "Did... did you see her? Ever since General Bayel sent his troops north to trackdown those Sunspears, she's been haunting this area. We can hardly get any work done thanks to her, but the soldiers all think we're crazy! Worse, fewer and fewer workers show up for their shifts. I don't have to remind you that if these waterworks fail, all of Kourna will be bone dry... and a true drought will devastate us all. Please, find this river ghost and see what we can do to put her spirit to rest."

Intermadiate Dialogue (Yartu)


 * "It is true. I am what you would call a "shape shifter". Just as the river flows from high cliffs to flat plains, I flow from djinn to human."


 * "Ha ha ha... dead? Far from it. No old woman am I, but a river spirit. Many shapes can I take. But these foolish Kourmans forget their past. Return this river to its former glory. Dead the Drought may be, but more Kourman soldiers head this way. Preserve the balance of nature, yes? Shared purposes have we. Get rid of the Kourmans and help you I shell."

Reward Dialogue (Yartu)


 * "The last of them this is not. My words you must heed. In the Drought and the Hunger, the sunset of our time are foretold. Upon the world, Nightfall shall reign. Herald the new dawn, as only true heroes can. Powerful artifacts will I trade in return for Kourman trophies. Accept this reward. Bring more Kourman trophies from the field of battle if you can."
