NPCTextAudio
Fairgraves was a good man, a fine explorer. He opened the door to many a new world, for better or for worse. Usually for worse when it came to the natives.

There's some peace in the knowledge that he now rests where he should. Let's not speak of Fairgraves again, shall we? He was an inspiration to many. Would be a shame to spoil a good hero.
BestelOnFairgraves
NPCTextAudio
Fairgraves? The explorer? No one's seen nor heard of him since he set sail for Wraeclast over thirty years ago.

So if you're about to tell me that you've met Captain Fairgraves in the flesh, then you've either met a liar, or something far, far worse.
EramirOnChamber
NPCTextAudio
The Chamber of Sins? Apparently the late Archbishop Geofri of Phrecia gave it that title. It was built by Emperor Chitus for one Inquisitor Maligaro.

How do I know this? To my shame, I did Dominus' dirty work in the selfish hopes of scholarly advancement. I scoured fragments of documents brought back by Fairgraves - and Daresso, before his disgrace. I unearthed all I could on the Eternal Empire's masters and mistresses of thaumaturgy, a subject of keen interest to our supposedly devout High Templar.

If I were you, I'd avoid Maligaro's old laboratory. A place of illness infected by a diseased mind.
FairgravesIntroduction
NPCTextAudio
Frankly I would've been surprised if you {hadn't} recognised me. Yes, tis I, Captain Sigmund Fairgraves. Wave Tamer, Piratebane, and conveyor of civilisation to barbaric lands.

So what am I doing here, apart from blowing my own bugle? I'm marooned. Languishing, thanks to a pair of pretty blue eyes.
FairgravesAllflameQuest
NPCTextAudio
Stuck fast in the filthy mud of Wraeclast, thanks to one sultry little slave girl. I liberated her from the flesh pits of Trarthus and she repaid me in full, with sleight of hand and swift feet. Turned the coat of my first mate, took my hard-earned Allflame, and with it the wind out of my sails.

Find my Allflame, I beg of you. Until I feel its warmth again, I'm trapped here, high and dry until the sun's final setting.
FairgravesOnAllflame
NPCTextAudio
I hunted the vagaries of a near-forgotten myth to a shattered cathedral in the inner Empire. I took the Allflame, and encased it within a lantern of pure silver... the only element it seemed incapable of consuming.

Oh, the Allflame does many a marvellous thing, in the hands of one who knows how to harness its power. Banish any thoughts of using it for yourself. It would burn you alive.
FairgravesOnReal
NPCTextAudio
So, you take me for a phantom? Or perhaps a charlatan with most unusual working conditions? I assure you, I am neither.

The Allflame has bestowed a unique gift upon me. Return it, and a small portion of that gift will be yours.
FairgravesOnMerveil
NPCTextAudio
My loveliest neighbour in this most salubrious of neighbourhoods. Facing Merveil and finding my Allflame are two mutually exclusive endeavours. I'd much prefer you to live to see your errand fulfilled.

Although, it is possible that my wayward slave girl fell prey to one of Merveil's slithering progeny. If that be the case, you look resourceful enough to handle a tentacled wench or two. But if Merveil herself has my flame, be very wary. That necklace of hers provides the old siren with some subtle wiles indeed.
FairgravesOnNecklace
NPCTextAudio
If the history books are to be believed, Daresso the Daring presented the necklace to Merveil on bended knee. And from the moment he placed that little chunk of Wraeclast at her throat, Merveil began to sing. It's told her sweet voice grew to fill even the largest concert halls of Oriath, and brought warmth to even the coldest of hearts.

But then she began to change. Her mind and body twisted, as did her songs. The sweetness remained while the sanity fled. Knowing what little I do about the powers that lie dormant here in Wraeclast, I'd surmise that if you have Merveil's necklace, you have the Siren's voice.
FairgravesAllflameGiven
NPCTextAudio
My Allflame. My blessed, damned Allflame!

Oh, you want your moment in the firelight now, do you? Unfortunately, necessity is what it is, and for the Allflame to give life it must first be kindled {with} life. And since suitable kindling is in short supply around these parts, I have little option but to make do with what I have.

Namely, you.

FairgravesAttacks
NPCTextAudio
Please understand that as a gentleman of honour, it pains me greatly to do this. Hard times call for hard hearts. I'm sure, were the circumstances reversed, you'd do precisely the same.
Fairgraves2Introduction
NPCTextAudio
Now there's a familiar face! Before you say anything... yes, I did try to kill you. Inexcusable! I allowed pragmatism to overcome honour in a moment of desperation.

Please accept my deepest apologies and... what do you say? Can the two of us make a fresh start?

Marvellous!

Now, as you've clearly noticed, the Allflame has given me another respite from oblivion. Alas, it's a partial success only. I am neither man nor spirit, living nor dead. A state that comes with some rather frustrating restrictions.

I know we've only just been reacquainted but to put no finer point on it, I... I need your help.
Fairgraves2HopeQuest
NPCTextAudio
Interested are we? Oh, splendid!

In return, I have a gift or two that I may bestow upon you with a click of my translucent fingers.

All you need do is furnish me with a crystal decanter and a juicy piece of fruit, two humble items that remain agonizingly out of reach for a man in my... peculiar situation.
Fairgraves2Delivered
NPCTextAudio
Wondrous! Nothing bonds two souls more soundly than murder. For that reason alone, I knew you could be relied upon.

Now, for a little amateur vintnering. A quick squeeze of the plum like so into the decanter... oh my, look how it transmutes the juice so swiftly. From material to spectral. Effortless. And what an aroma! Imminent death never smelled so sweet. I believe I shall call this fine concoction 'the Imperial Nightcap'.

Now, before I get too carried away, there's the small matter of your recompense.

Fairgraves2Farewell1
NPCTextAudio
A toast, to swift endings and promising new beginnings. Oh, and you might want to avert your gaze once I have quaffed this diabolical brew. I doubt that my return to solidarity will be a pretty one.

Right! As I used to say in the love dens of Trarthus... bottoms up, girls!
Fairgraves2Farewell2
NPCTextAudio
Oh my, now that's an unusual sensation. I... oh dear... something is amiss. The Allflame, it's... no... no, no, no, it's gone out! What have I...

What {are} you? No... you cannot be... I will... not...
Fairgraves2PlumDelivered
NPCTextAudio
Look at the sheen on that plum. Is it not the most delectable fruit that you've ever seen? No? Perhaps the gloss of hope is for my eyes only.
Fairgraves2DecanterDelivered
NPCTextAudio
Will you look at that: the Decanter Spiritus. As exquisite today as when I found it all those years ago. You may fault the man, but you can't fault his craftsmanship.
Fairgraves2OnDecanter
NPCTextAudio
I'm sure you've heard of Malachai by now? Ever the heterodox, he often sought otherworldly inspiration by imbibing a substance called 'Ghost Wine'. For the purpose, he created the Decanter Spiritus. I found it on my last visit here. Liquid placed in this crystal decanter becomes quasi-apparitional in nature.

I'm sure you can glean the Decanter's usefulness to me. Conventional liquids simply don't hit the spot. I am one sorely parched revenant.

I hid the Decanter Spiritus in the Marketplace so as not to cause temptation for the less morally steadfast in my crew. Look to the carven heraldry there and find a lion dancing upon the waves.
Fairgraves2OnFruit
NPCTextAudio
Emperor Chitus was stabbed in the posterior by his own Lord Mayor on the eve of the Purity Rebellion. Chitus' grieving gemlings buried him in the Imperial Gardens and a plum tree was planted upon his resting place, so that his mourners might taste of his glory for years to come.

I found that tree, and one of my men tasted its fruit. I've never seen so much agony crammed into such a brief moment.

This... may seem a peculiar request but please, bring me one of Chitus' plums.
Fairgraves2OnResurrection
NPCTextAudio
This current form comes with rather frustrating restrictions. It's a small improvement on my last incarnation, but I'm a man who used to poke his sticky beak into the furthest corners of the world. Now I can barely cross the road. It was no mean feat getting here from Siren's Cove, I can tell you!

So here's the truth of it. I intend to sup upon mine own death. Oh, fear not. The Allflame will resurrect me and - with luck - will restore my full freedom. But, for that to happen I must {die}, and in such a manner as to excite the Allflame to utmost ferocity. I am convinced that only the fruit of Chitus can provide a demise of sufficient tragedy.

Life is full of painful choices, is it not?
Fairgraves2OnUndying
NPCTextAudio
I visited Sarn some thirty odd years ago. Those ghasts, the Undying you call them, scurried up from the sewers near the river and slaughtered all but a few of my most stalwart lads.

Oh, they're a foul parody of humanity, those Undying. Nothing in common with a fine, upstanding revenant like myself.
Fairgraves2OnEmpire
NPCTextAudio
I came to Sarn looking for an answer. The question? How did the Eternal Empire die?

On a previous excursion I picked up a few notes from Axiom Prison, written by the witch, Shavronne of Umbra. They pointed to Sarn and Malachai as being the height of all things preternatural at the time.

Never did find out if Malachai was the instigator of the cataclysm, but I'd be damned surprised if he didn't play at least some part in it.
FishChatFairgraves
NPCTextAudio
It is relatively well known that Captain Sigmund Fairgraves was an explorer and sometimes a pirate.

What's less known is that Fairgraves was a whaler of some significance. This is interesting, of course, because whales make up only one percent of all sea life. When you catch one, however, it pays for all the rest of the fish in your net.
UtulaOnSlavePens
NPCTextAudio
Take a deep breath. Inhale the twin stink of exploitation and oppression. Yes, these pens and cells have been our home away from home since the first Karui were brought here by Marceus Lioneye. Their great 'Hero of the Empire', one of the best slavers they ever had.

Not that he was the only one. Captain Sigmund Fairgraves funded many an expedition off the whipped backs of Karui children. High Templar Dominus was only the latest in a long line of men to grow rich by trading in misery.

Oriathan wealth was built on Karui poverty. Oriathan gold will forever be stained red by Karui blood.
BestelOnWeylam
NPCTextAudio
You'll not find a more renowned pirate as Weylam 'Rot Tooth' Roth. In times when Fairgraves was still a whelp earning his sea legs, Rot-tooth was prowling the Strait of Oriath in his ship, the 'Black Crest'.

It's said he build it hisself, lining its hull with the bones of some great sea beast he slew with nothing but a harpoon and a bottle o' rum. Never was there a more nimble, more ferocious vessel. Like that leviathan's spirit still lived and breathed in its timbers.

No one's sighted Rot Tooth for twenty years or more, but I know where the Black Crest is. The Ship Graveyard, no less. Seems that Weylam Roth might have had his last meal with Lady Merveil.
