LorbasBe greeted, dear traveller Player.
Playerjob
LorbasI am just a humble monk and responsible to maintain this little outpost that is leftover from our grand order.
Playergrand order
LorbasOur order was once the greatest and richest in the whole known world. Kings, traders and knights of various orders were our supporters and the gods smiled upon us ... or at least that's what we thought until the day of doom.
Playerday of doom
LorbasOn the day of doom, our dream of building the greatest and most opulent cathedral was shattered.
Playercathedral
LorbasWhat was once planned as the most impressive cathedral of all times, lies now in ruins. ...
LorbasAll that the earthquake has left over is a heap of rubble. The ruins are cursed and everybody who dares to go there will draw the ire of heaven on himself. ...
LorbasAll those that travel there are infested with bad luck. But only few have returned from this treacherous ground. Noxious fumes are killing intruders almost unnoticed. ...
LorbasCrumbling structures might kill you instantly. ...
LorbasThose who survive the dangers of nature will face the soul-eating ghosts of those who have died in the catastrophe. ...
LorbasIt's not worth to go there, there are no richnesses or treasures left in the ruins, the gold of our order melted away in funding the cathedral's construction. ...
LorbasI urge you to stay away from the cursed ground and the ruins. For the safety of your body and your soul keep away from there.
Playerearthquake
LorbasSome say it was just the unstable ground or volcanic activity, some even claim it was the work of demons, but we know it was the will of the gods to punish our vanity.
Playervanity
LorbasIn our vanity we thought that we could impress the gods with our money and show piety by building them a monument. ...
LorbasWe were wrong and the gods punished us by sending the worst earthquake that mankind has seen. ...
LorbasIts ground motions could still be felt in Thais and as the dust settled, little had remained of that what we had built. ...
LorbasMost members of our order were dead, others turned mad or lost faith. We are all that is left from our glorious order.
Playergod
LorbasI am not worthy to speak about the gods.
Playermonk
LorbasWe monks of the humble path feel that we are not worthy to spread the word of the gods. We live in humility and poverty to serve the gods. Most of us have vowed an oath of silence and I humbly took the burden to become the spokesperson.
Playerdark monk
LorbasI know nothing about that topic. If you would excuse me, I have things to attend. (stops conversation)
Playerking
LorbasThe king is a worldly ruler, and we don't burden ourselves with worldly concerns anymore.
PlayerFerumbras
LorbasHe will discover where his path will lead him to. But no matter how ruthless he is, even he stays away from the ruins of the cathedral.
PlayerExcalibug
LorbasIt is rumoured to be hidden somewhere beneath Edron.
Playertime
LorbasI own no watch and only a small number of other worldly possessions.
PlayerVenore
LorbasThe gracious tradesmen from Venore send us provisions from time to time.
PlayerThais
LorbasThais is far and we have little contact with the kingdom's capital.
PlayerEdron
LorbasI hope the knightly order there fares better than our own.
PlayerCarlin
LorbasWe have no relations with that town.
PlayerAb'dendriel or elves
LorbasThey will have to learn on their own.
PlayerKazordoon
LorbasThe dwarves are far from being humble. At least this ancient folk knows that there is nothing to gain in the cathedral's ruins and their treasure hunters stay away from there.
PlayerDarashia
LorbasI will not judge those people.
PlayerAnkrahmun
LorbasI am not the right person to discuss this subject.
Playerbye
LorbasAccept my sincere good wishes, Player.
