    NPCName
    Lady DiallaOld axe for brains. Kaom had Eternals dragged from their homes all over the south coast.

    Like sheep, he butchered them, no matter how desperately they bleated. He adorned his doorways with the heads of women and children.

    What makes a hero or a villain? It depends who you ask.
    OyunWe read the land, learn its stories. Kaom and his warriors entered those Mines some twenty years before Deshret sealed the Mines and bound our {akhara} to this mountain.

    Neither soil nor stone speak of Kaom's return. Perhaps he is dead, or perhaps he merely wishes he was. After Voll, anything seems possible.
    OyunWe read the land, learn its stories. Kaom and his warriors entered those Mines some twenty years before Deshret sealed them and bound our {akhara} to this mountain.

    Neither soil nor stone speak of Kaom's return. Now we know why. He became a monarch of Nightmare, like Voll before him. It seems the Beast has uses for those with a talent for conquest.
    OyunI am told that you have put King Kaom down to his final rest.

    Curse-breaker, and now the Murderer of Legends. Great names hatch upon you like ticks on a rhoa.
    TasuniMy understanding of Kaom, the man, is that he was a prisoner of his own delusions. Now? He is a prisoner of someone else's.

    The power of Nightmare to manipulate the soul never ceases to impress me.

    That could be you one day, should you continue to follow this dark and winding path.
    TasuniNightmare gave Kaom everything he ever dreamed of. How did it feel to make that dream die?
    Kurai, the AdministratorA king is human, mortal, vulnerable to the same temptations and vices as are we all. A legend lives on for as long as it is told, its meaning and message shifting to fit the needs of the speaker or the audience. Kaom seems to have found himself stuck somewhere in the middle.

    The greatest lesson to take away from the story of the fallen Karui king is this: A leader is nothing without the loyalty of their followers. And, I suppose, that those followers should still have their heads attached.
    TawhanukuA king was given word by his spies that an attempt was to be made to usurp his throne. He did not know who was behind the plot, so he trusted only his own thoughts. He ruminated on it while he held court, and began seeing dark intent in every comment, every dance, and every laugh. Whenever a shadow moved, he jumped. Whenever a friend gripped his arm, he braced for an attack. Eventually, unable to stand the tension any longer, he ordered his guards to slaughter the entire court. The king was left in a bloody throne room, alone and aghast. Without subjects, he was no longer a king. He was merely a madman.
    KahuturoaHe is a legendary warrior, but still new to the Halls of the Dead. One of the first things he did when he got here was show interest in Ikiaho, because he had heard she refuses all suitors. Surely, the great Kaom could thaw this frozen heart! No. She turned him down in front of everyone during meal time. Ha ha! That Kaom, what an ego!
    MaataKaom mocks my peacemaking ways, but what did his warmongering earn him? Centuries of torture in a corrupted nightmare. I see no reason to quarrel with him. He already knows the truth.
    KiloavaKaom can eat a {rumakino} berry for all I care. I don't want to talk about him.
    NavaliWhen you slew Kaom and freed him from his unending nightmare, you sent his purified soul to join us here in the Halls of the Dead. Some challenged his place here because he slaughtered his own men in life, but such is the right of a Chieftain. His might, and his victories, speak for themselves. Thus, he has earned a place here in competition with the greatest of our warriors.

    But when his foot hit the sand, he thought only of the fight.

    Marceus commanded the southernmost of the Eternal Legions, here at Lioneye's Watch. Why was he called Lioneye? Crazy fool had his left eye taken out and a golden-hued gem put in its place.

    It's an often-told story among the Karui. How Voll of Thebrus bent his knee to my ancestor, King Kaom, and promised freedom in return for war. While Voll raised his Purity Rebellion in the heart of the Empire, Kaom took Lord Lioneye's head and the southern coast all the way to the Siren's Cove. It was the greatest conquest the Karui had ever seen.

    On the fall of the Empire, the historians are deathly silent. After the Purity Rebellion, the Kingdom of Kaom blockaded Oriath, preventing any trade or correspondence with the mainland. It's said that Kaom planned to invade.

    Only when the Karui retreated did Oriath get any news from Wraeclast, but by that time there wasn't really anyone left to tell the tale.

    Kaom's canoe struck this sand with the force of destiny. At his back, the greatest war host in Karui history tamed the wild sea, their canoes coupling with the land, one by one.

    Lioneye's Gemlings met us with shining metal and bold words. Hyrri's arrows withered their pride. Kaom's axes silenced their despair. Marceus Lioneye fought bravely, to the last. Kaom honoured him with a place on his belt.

    Kaom has shown Wraeclast our Karui strength. Kaom will teach Wraeclast the Karui Way.

    Black storms descend on us from the North. Unnatural tempests of rage and hatred, lashing our backs, tearing at our houses. The rain is shot with shadow. It withers our crops, sickens our livestock.

    And the wind... the wind carries with it a restless spirit that breeds melancholy and madness. A spirit that creeps through our dreams, weaves tales of misdeed around our resting minds. We try not to listen. We try to remember ourselves. Some of us forget.

    Brothers fight. Brothers die. Kaom punishes those that quarrel, that steal, that murder. Yet still the nightmares goad us into malefaction.

    We Karui are banished from sleep.

    The earth of Wraeclast rejects the dead. The black spirit of storm and dream now reaches into the ground and raises up our slain imperial foes. It leads the fallen from their graves and drives them to fight us beyond the end, rotted tooth and jagged nail.

    Our own Remembered have joined their cursed ranks. No longer may we give our beloved to the birds, messengers of spirit to the sky, conveyors of flesh to the earth. Kaom has commanded us to destroy our Remembered with axe and fire. Kaom is the bravest of us, willing to bear the ire of the Ancestors for the survival of his people.

    Hyrri has made ready her canoes. We will take those that are left, five hundred forgotten families, and carry them back to their true homes. Back to Ngamakanui.

    {Book 3: Fall of a Jade Axe}

    In a man-to-man fight on open ground, a Gemling Legion would have slaughtered Kaom's Karui warriors like so many pigs in a pen. But Kaom had no intention of engaging Lioneye in a fair fight. By absorbing some heavy losses and feigning a chaotic retreat, Kaom drew Marceus into ordering his Gemlings to abandon their tower shields so that they might pursue and rout the fleeing Karui.

    It was not out of recklessness that Lioneye plucked such a decision, but from the experience-born confidence that the Karui did not have archers. Traditionally, Karui warriors are forbidden from using projectile weapons of any kind. What Lioneye understandably overlooked was that this tavukai (sacred prohibition) did not extend to women. At her uncle's behest, Hyrri had traveled to Thebrus and studied archery with Voll's finest military tutors. When the legionnaires shed protection in favour of mobility, Hyrri and her bow-women broke cover and rained death upon the Gemlings from the cliffs above.

    A valiant Marceus Lioneye gathered his surviving legionnaires for a final stand within the walls of Lioneye's Watch. Kaom honoured his bravery by wearing Marceus' bejeweled head upon his belt from that day on.

    Having secured a safe harbour for landing reinforcements, Kaom continued his conquest of the coast, slaughtering the Eternal citizens and clearing the way for the first ever settlement of Karui upon the Wraeclastian mainland.

    You know, Not-a-Cockroach, had I accepted my place, my rapturous role, the Beast would be no more, no less, no anything at all. My selfishness tickled the Beast's fancy and it laughed the world I knew away.

    Yet I have had much time to think on my lonesome. Much time to wonder. Wonder if the Rapture really needs to eat a Gemling Queen.

    Maybe, something else will get its catastrophic juices slavering. Something like... eyeball soup!

    The Eye of Fury. The Eye of Desire. Pretty gems for our pretty designs. But where could they be? Don't fret now. I have my suspicions.

    Kaom, the Sovereign of Slaughter. He remains, and suffers his delusions right here in the halls of nightmare. Fury is all he knows, so Fury Kaom will have.

    The Maraketh once stood united under Deshret's Banner. That was before the plagues, the tempests... the corruption.

    Deshret rode here with this {akhara}, the Kiyato, to put an end to the Beast's curse. And upon the very threshold of the darkness she faltered.

    Perhaps she saw that King Kaom had gone there before her and not returned. Or perhaps the nightmare simply overcame Deshret's seemingly indomitable courage.

    Either way, she chose not to ride into the mountain, to slay the Beast. She closed and sealed the Mines and committed this {akhara} to Highgate's guardianship.

    The tempests, the plagues... they passed. Of their own accord, or because of Deshret's seal, we do not know.

    But what I do know is this. When Deshret vowed to watch over these Mines, she simply traded one curse for another.

    No, I imagine the gods once dined, danced and defecated just like you or I. Now they seem ready to take another stab at it... at life, I mean.

    Take the Karui Father of War, for instance. Old Tukohama. All comfily tucked up in Kaom's holdfast and playing war like a few thousand years was only a quiet weekend for him.

    A king is human, mortal, vulnerable to the same temptations and vices as are we all. A legend lives on for as long as it is told, its meaning and message shifting to fit the needs of the speaker or the audience. Kaom seems to have found himself stuck somewhere in the middle.

    The greatest lesson to take away from the story of the fallen Karui king is this: A leader is nothing without the loyalty of their followers. And, I suppose, that those followers should still have their heads attached.

    NPCTextAudio
    You've got a contract I have taken out. Excuse me if you know the tale, but I find a well-informed thief is a better thief.

    A few hundred years ago, Kaom, a Karui king of note, landed on the shores of Wraeclast and began an ill-fated conquest north. He won a decisive battle against the Eternals with the help of his niece, Hyrri. She and many other women took up bows and ambushed General Lioneye when hubris got the better of him. It was an ingenious workaround of a restriction of the Karui Way.

    The poet Victario was present at the battle and later gifted Hyrri with a signed copy of "O' Eternal", one of his works. It now sits in the vault of an Oriathan nobleman. I'd like you to bring it home. It should be a straightforward job.

    Thousands of years before I was born, the Tukohama Tribe and the Ngamahu Tribe were in continual conflict. A cycle of vengeance kept the two groups raiding each other, and they were beginning to lose their superior positions. There was a danger of the other tribes becoming dominant. To put an end to it, Ngamahu and Tukohama went through the traditions together. Tukohama aided her in the forging of a legendary axe, while her ring, a sign of fire and fertility, was given to us. Eventually, her ring passed down to me. Kaom took it, and my head, when he slew me in his bid to unite the tribes. It is our Way, but my defeat still stings.

    My battle with Kaom began at sunrise. Our warriors were assembled on either side, ready to slaughter each other, but neither of us gave the sign. By dawn's light, we fought on the sand, axe against axe. Kaom was strong, but arrogant, which showed through in his fighting style. When he overextended himself, I made him pay for it in blood. However, his greater strength kept me on the defensive. Every hour, the {hatungo} called a truce, and we drank, ate, and were tended to. By nightfall, Kaom and I were moving like turtles, guarding ourselves behind our axes and taking only the most calculated movements. Eventually, he overextended again, and I dealt him a heavy wound to his chest—but this was an acceptable sacrifice he had made on purpose. He broke my knee with the end of his axe handle, and that was it. He gave me a warrior's death, rather than leave me broken on the sands. I would not have had it any other way.

Whenever a friend gripped his arm, he braced for an attack. Eventually, unable to stand the tension any longer, he ordered his guards to slaughter the entire court.

I grew up in a time of turmoil and nightmare in the wake of the Cataclysm that destroyed the Eternals. Because she once helped put the men in power who likely caused it, my mother taught me that war is not the glorious endeavour our Way makes it out to be. All she wanted, by the end, was peace. She was begrudgingly taking an army raised from multiple tribes to deal with a strange threat on the edge of Ngamakanui... when she and her legion vanished without a trace. I did my best in the chaos that followed, but it wasn't enough...

    In this world, there are several routes to power. There is personal power, which was best exemplified by Kaom personally besting the leaders of each tribe and uniting the Karui with his own strength. There is communal power, which I try to exemplify. Cooperation and unity produce great works that last for thousands of years. Then, there is faith, which we have yet to fully understand.

    My dream, my Nightmare, seemed without end. I couldn't think, couldn't hope, couldn't fight to escape. There was only madness and pain. I believed I had built a home and an empire for my people, but in truth, it was all a lie. You shattered my nightmare and slew Malachai, and for that, I have made no argument against your presence in this sacred place. Consider us even. I owe you nothing.
    KaomGossipOnTukohamasDefeat
    NPCTextAudio
    {You} defeated Tukohama in battle? No, you defeated a shadow of the Father of War. He was weakened by his long sleep, or by the pervasive Corruption of Wraeclast. You struck when he was feeble and confused. Keep your ego small.

    Hmm... perhaps {I} could be the next Father of War... if such a thing is possible....
    KaomGossipOnKitavasDefeat
    NPCTextAudio
    I did hear that you 'defeated' Kitava. You should be aware that he was nothing more than a hungry blind child, propped up and fed by Utula's tribe. How exactly did you fear he would consume the whole world when he could hardly move from his cathedral cradle? Your great victory, 'Godslayer,' is nothing to brag about. We have not needed our gods to be personally present for thousands of years, and we will not be diminished by their loss. We have our own strength.
    KaomGossipOnInvasionOfWraeclast
    NPCTextAudio
    Uniting the tribes was a worthy endeavour. Invading the mainland, however, was a fool's errand. Wraeclast has only ever been an accursed place that no true Karui should ever step foot on. I wish I had known how tainted it truly was. I would have set fire to it rather than try to claim it. Every empire that has ever arisen there eventually collapsed under the weight of its own disease.
    KaomGossipOnHyrri
    NPCTextAudio
    Hyrri is not here... I hoped to greet her in the afterlife, but her soul has not found its way to the Halls of the Dead. My tribe's {hatungo}, Lavianga, believed that Hyrri damned herself by breaking the {tavukai}, but that is not a rule the Ramako Tribe follows. I was certain there would be no dishonour in the eyes of the gods, yet Navali remains cryptic on her absence. She should be here. I am... incensed.
    KaomGossipOnHyrrisSoul
    NPCTextAudio
    So, you have found Hyrri's soul! Our {hatungo} knows nothing of this Domain of Timeless Conflict, but it seems that we have a new realm to make war upon. We will find it and rescue Hyrri and her army, no matter the cost. Not a single Karui soul will be left behind. This is the promise I make to our Ancestors! We will have our vengeance!
    KaomGossipOnTheKaruiWay
    NPCTextAudio
    I have already proven that the Karui Way is the one true path. I united the otherwise squabbling tribes into one mighty horde, the greatest the world has ever known, and I did that with the sheer force of my axe. There are chieftains among us here that experienced that firsthand. They know not to challenge me. You should know that as well.
    KaomGossipOnWraeclast
    NPCTextAudio
    Let Wraeclast fester in darkness. It is a diseased land not fit for life. My advice to future generations of Karui shall always be so: keep to the islands and their abundance. Let the ruins of the Eternal and the Vaal Empires rot like the corpses they are. If Wraeclast needs anything, it is fire, to burn away that which can never be pure again.
    KaomGossipOnTheHallsOfTheDead
    NPCTextAudio
    Even before I ventured to the Isle of the Shrikes, I knew I would earn my place here. Now, I will prove my might in each new Trial. I will never be deposed. This honour is mine forever... or until Time ends, as Navali claims it will one day. How absurd.
    KaomGossipOnTheEndOfTime
    NPCTextAudio
    The Hinekora Tribe thinks Time will simply stop one day. No. The Ngamahu Tribe believes the world will end, not with some pathetic unraveling of the seasons, but with a tremendous eruption. Wraeclast will stab itself and pour forth its lifeblood to burn away all life, both the mighty and the diseased, as it has done before. Then, the first of a new line of Karui will emerge from the molten caldera, as we did before. They will be different. Maybe better, in some sense, having learned from the wisdom our souls will carry forward. Theirs will be a savage new world to conquer all over again. I wish I could be there to see it... a glorious new challenge unlike any other... but my soul will be returned to the volcano with all the others here in the Halls of the Dead, to be melted and reforged into that entirely new Karui essence, that new line. I could wish for no better end.
    KaomGossipOnHinekora
    NPCTextAudio
    Hinekora shall always be honoured as the Mother of Death and the creator of this place, but she rarely speaks. I believe she is lost in her visions. It is unclear how much Navali communicates with her, and how much the {hatungo} is saying on her own...
    KaomGossipOnNgamahu
    NPCTextAudio
    For countless generations, a small number of my tribe secretly watched over Ngamahu as she slept. She must have awoken by now, but I have heard nothing of her whereabouts or intent. It is frustrating having to remain here in the Halls of the Dead while the Mother of Fire walks the world in the flesh. I would very much like to meet her. Before I was of age, my father's father allowed me to look upon her sleeping face. It was only then that I understood that there are types of fire unknown to a mere boy.

Here, our souls appear as we truly see ourselves. Some of us had some pretty big surprises when they woke up in the Halls of the Dead! Ha ha!
    KiloavaGossipOnHeraldOfWar
    NPCTextAudio
    They call me the first Herald of War, and indeed I was, but they don't understand. Valako gave a Sign to my people thousands of years ago, a ring with his graven pattern. It passed down from chieftain to chieftain in my tribe. When I put it on, it did something it never had before: it surged with the power of the storm. Valako didn't know me. How could he? The gods were asleep. So, I appointed {myself} the Herald of War, and I used the power of Valako's Sign to win many great battles. I laid the foundations for Karui unification before Kaom was even an urge in some bastard's loins.

    When you slew Kaom and freed him from his unending nightmare, you sent his purified soul to join us here in the Halls of the Dead. Some challenged his place here because he slaughtered his own men in life, but such is the right of a Chieftain. His might, and his victories, speak for themselves. Thus, he has earned a place here in competition with the greatest of our warriors.

    Kahuturoa's Victory
    You lost to the cowardly night fighters. How disappointing.
    KaomPlayerLostVsKahuturoa
    Seeing Kiloava humiliated was... satisfying. You fought well.
    Kiloava's Defeat
    As much as I dislike Kiloava, your loss to him was not unexpected.
    Kiloava's Victory
    No surprise that you defeated the peacemaker.
    Maata's Defeat
    How did you manage to lose to the peacemaker?
    Maata's Victory
    You should have cut off Rakiata's head. I did.
    Rakiata's Defeat
    Train hard, and take on Rakiata again.
    Rakiata's Victory
    Ahuana goes too easy on newcomers. Don't think you won for any other reason.
    Ahuana's Defeat
    Only the greatest of warriors can take on Ahuana. Don't be ashamed of your loss.
    Ahuana's Victory
    Akoya upholds our Way, even in defeat. It was an honourable battle.
    Akoya's Defeat
    I enjoyed watching Akoya take you down. She's a very talented warrior.
    Akoya's Victory
    That was rather impressive. I didn't expect you to defeat Ikiaho.
    Ikiaho's Defeat
    No one thaws Ikiaho. Do not be disheartened.
    Ikiaho's Victory
    That was a gripping battle against Tawhanuku. I'm certain she saw it coming.
    Tawhanuku's Defeat
    Tawhunuku serves Hinekora, and Hinekora sees all. She took that battle knowing she would win.
    Tawhanuku's Victory
    Alright, I'm impressed. Defeating Utula was no small success.
    Utula's Defeat
    Utula is a true Karui warrior. He will win time and time again!
    Utula's Victory
    You seemed like you needed a win, so I let you have one. It's as simple as that.
    Kaom's Defeat
    Do not be disheartened, outsider. You never had a chance against me. There was nothing you could have done.
    Kaom's Victory
    Your victory was interesting to watch, at the very least.
    Match Victory
    You held yourself well against the Karui's greatest warriors. That is all you can really hope for, outsider.
    Match Loss
    Peacemaker, your deals will only aid your enemy!

    My dream, my Nightmare, seemed without end. I couldn't think, couldn't hope, couldn't fight to escape. There was only madness and pain. I believed I had built a home and an empire for my people, but in truth, it was all a lie. You shattered my nightmare and slew Malachai, and for that, I have made no argument against your presence in this sacred place. Consider us even. I owe you nothing.
    The Nightmare
    {You} defeated Tukohama in battle? No, you defeated a shadow of the Father of War. He was weakened by his long sleep, or by the pervasive Corruption of Wraeclast. You struck when he was feeble and confused. Keep your ego small.

    Hmm... perhaps {I} could be the next Father of War... if such a thing is possible....
    Tukohama's Defeat
    I did hear that you 'defeated' Kitava. You should be aware that he was nothing more than a hungry blind child, propped up and fed by Utula's tribe. How exactly did you fear he would consume the whole world when he could hardly move from his cathedral cradle? Your great victory, 'Godslayer,' is nothing to brag about. We have not needed our gods to be personally present for thousands of years, and we will not be diminished by their loss. We have our own strength.
    Kitava's Defeat
    Uniting the tribes was a worthy endeavour. Invading the mainland, however, was a fool's errand. Wraeclast has only ever been an accursed place that no true Karui should ever step foot on. I wish I had known how tainted it truly was. I would have set fire to it rather than try to claim it. Every empire that has ever arisen there eventually collapsed under the weight of its own disease.
    Invasion of Wraeclast
    Hyrri is not here... I hoped to greet her in the afterlife, but her soul has not found its way to the Halls of the Dead. My tribe's {hatungo}, Lavianga, believed that Hyrri damned herself by breaking the {tavukai}, but that is not a rule the Ramako Tribe follows. I was certain there would be no dishonour in the eyes of the gods, yet Navali remains cryptic on her absence. She should be here. I am... incensed.
    Hyrri
    So, you have found Hyrri's soul! Our {hatungo} knows nothing of this Domain of Timeless Conflict, but it seems that we have a new realm to make war upon. We will find it and rescue Hyrri and her army, no matter the cost. Not a single Karui soul will be left behind. This is the promise I make to our Ancestors! We will have our vengeance!
    Hyrri's Soul
    I have already proven that the Karui Way is the one true path. I united the otherwise squabbling tribes into one mighty horde, the greatest the world has ever known, and I did that with the sheer force of my axe. There are chieftains among us here that experienced that firsthand. They know not to challenge me. You should know that as well.
    The Karui Way
    Let Wraeclast fester in darkness. It is a diseased land not fit for life. My advice to future generations of Karui shall always be so: keep to the islands and their abundance. Let the ruins of the Eternal and the Vaal Empires rot like the corpses they are. If Wraeclast needs anything, it is fire, to burn away that which can never be pure again.
    Wraeclast
    Even before I ventured to the Isle of the Shrikes, I knew I would earn my place here. Now, I will prove my might in each new Trial. I will never be deposed. This honour is mine forever... or until Time ends, as Navali claims it will one day. How absurd.
    The Halls of the Dead
    The Hinekora Tribe thinks Time will simply stop one day. No. The Ngamahu Tribe believes the world will end, not with some pathetic unraveling of the seasons, but with a tremendous eruption. Wraeclast will stab itself and pour forth its lifeblood to burn away all life, both the mighty and the diseased, as it has done before. Then, the first of a new line of Karui will emerge from the molten caldera, as we did before. They will be different. Maybe better, in some sense, having learned from the wisdom our souls will carry forward. Theirs will be a savage new world to conquer all over again. I wish I could be there to see it... a glorious new challenge unlike any other... but my soul will be returned to the volcano with all the others here in the Halls of the Dead, to be melted and reforged into that entirely new Karui essence, that new line. I could wish for no better end.
    The End of Time
    Hinekora shall always be honoured as the Mother of Death and the creator of this place, but she rarely speaks. I believe she is lost in her visions. It is unclear how much Navali communicates with her, and how much the {hatungo} is saying on her own...
    Hinekora
    For countless generations, a small number of my tribe secretly watched over Ngamahu as she slept. She must have awoken by now, but I have heard nothing of her whereabouts or intent. It is frustrating having to remain here in the Halls of the Dead while the Mother of Fire walks the world in the flesh. I would very much like to meet her. Before I was of age, my father's father allowed me to look upon her sleeping face. It was only then that I understood that there are types of fire unknown to a mere boy.
    Ngamahu
    You are a true son of the Karui. You honour the Way with your strength. Though I may challenge you in the Trials, you have my respect.
    Respect
    Utula! You are most welcome here. Tell me, how did you die?
    KaomConversationWithUtulaOne
    I should have guessed. How... irritating.
    KaomConversationWithUtulaTwo
    Insult me all you want, but not like that. Never like that.
