Dialogue
To Warriors or those without a secondary profession:
 * "The sword is the only real Warrior weapon! The others are nothing compared to its beauty... So pure. So deadly."


 * Tell me about Sword Mastery
 * "Sword Mastery affects how much damage you can inflict with a sword and also increases your chance to score a critical hit with swords." [sic]


 * Tell me about adrenaline.
 * "Some skills do not use Energy. Instead, they use adrenaline. Adrenaline is built up during combat and is measured in "strikes". One strike of adrenaline is gained every time a Warrior successfully lands an attack on an opponent, or when a Warrior takes one quarter of his total Health in damage. Each adrenal skill builds and uses adrenaline on its own. However, when an adrenal skill is used, it will cause all adrenal skills to lose one strike of adrenaline."


 * Can you give me a sword?
 * ''(you'll receive a Starter Sword)

During quest Secondary Training:
 * "I fought for Chahbek Village when the corsairs came. They fear my sword, I tell you! But there were too many of them. I kept the beach clear, but they struck from over the hills. The bloodshed was terrible. I'm glad I have no family, or I might be as broken as Dume. Poor guy. I tell you, if you want to keep yourself safe and help Elona, you'd be best to pick up some sword skills. Right away." [sic]
