[70] The Tale of Hraxian |
A Difficult Legacy concludes the Verbal Archaeology storyline for the Zskera Vaults during the Forbidden Reach storyline. After completing the "Medicinal Fungi" optional storyline of the Embers of Neltharion campaign at Dragonscale Camp in Zaralek Cavern, Veritistrasz will offer [70] The Tale of Hraxian.
Objectives
Talk to Voraxian and Veritistrasz at Rusza'thar Reach.
- Find out what the Vase is
- Listen to Voraxian and Veritistrasz
Description
Let us talk to Veritistrasz about this vase, <name>.
I want to temper your expectations though. It is just a vase, but you never know. It could be exciting.
Maybe it could point us to a cache of weapons?
Progress
It is always a pleasure, <name>.
Completion
Thank you for being here, <name>. You have both given me a lot to think about.
I will stay with Veritistrasz for now, but I look forward to when we next meet.
Notes
On accept:
- Voraxian says: Veritistrasz, <name> found a vase. Is it anything special? It has a black dragon fighting a djaradin on it.
- Veritistrasz says: Show me... Oh... This vase depicts the last stand of Hraxian, during the final battle with the djaradin elders.
Speak with Veritistrasz:
- Helllo[sic] <name>, nice to see you again.
- I went to Valdrakken to find Ebyssian, but it turns out he had already left, so I came here for the view instead.
- Do you want to stay a while?
(Optional) I would like to hear the story of Hraxian.
- Veritistrasz says: It is a sad tale that is worth telling, but not today.
- Veritistrasz says: I will need to ready myself if I am to tell it properly.
- Voraxian says: I... would also like to hear the tale when you are ready to tell it.
- (Optional) Who were the djaradin elders?
- Veritistrasz says: Djaradin of unbelievable power. Their mastery over Earth and Fire was incredible, rivalling Neltharion himself.
- Veritistrasz says: They united the djaradin armies and cut a bloody swath through dragonkind that still echoes in our numbers today.
- Veritistrasz says: Eventually, they were defeated by Neltharion. I know not how, the Earth-Warder was ever secretive.
- (Optional) The djaradin elders that were defeated by Neltharion? (available if you have heard Tarjin the Blind's tales.)
- Veritistrasz says: Yes, I am impressed with your knowledge of draconic history <name>, well done.
The last two lines of dialogue are the same as from the default option.
- (Quest) Thank you for looking at the vase for us, Veritistrasz.
- Voraxian says: A shame though, I was hoping we would find something of power in the vaults.
- Veritistrasz says: This is history. The kind Distyia would have loved. She would go on about the brush work and glazing. This is... amazing.
- Voraxian says: But... I want to help my flight and be a great warrior, as we were in the past.
- Voraxian says: I am not as strong as the others, I thought I could find something to make the difference.
Speak with Voraxian now:
- I will stay here with Veritistrasz, he has some interesting stories.
- I suppose it is a nice view, if you like that sort of thing.
- (Quest) Why do you want to be a great warrior?
- Voraxian says: We were monsters in the dark for ten thousand years. I want to show dragonkind we can be useful.
- Voraxian says: I need to show we can fight for good. That we have changed.
- Voraxian says: We need to regain our legacy; we need regain our strength.
- Veritistrasz says: Oh Voraxian... Neltharion had so much strength, look where that led him...
Back to Veritistrasz:
- (Quest) What do you think is the legacy of the black dragonflight?
- Veritistrasz says: Courage, not strength. Before the fall, your flight was known for their courage in all things, not just combat.
- Voraxian says: But... What is courage without battle?
- Veritistrasz says: Many of the first draconic artists and philosophers were black dragons. They pushed the boundaries of what we knew, what we accepted.
- Veritistrasz says: We are a long-lived race, too often we revert to what is comfortable. Distyia used to always show me new experiences and new ideas. That spark is what we need from you.
And to Voraxian:
- (Quest) Voraxian you seem troubled, what's wrong?
- Voraxian says: In Outland we were so focused on fighting, on beating the gronn. Strength and survival were all that mattered.
- Voraxian says: I had not dreamed there was more to us than that.
- Voraxian says: You... Think this more valuable than being able to fight?
- Veritistrasz says: Sometimes fighting can protect your friends, your family, your way of life.
- Veritistrasz says: Changing your way of life though, that requires courageous ideas, challenging the normal everyone has accepted.
- Veritistrasz says: Both have value, it is not one or the other.
- Voraxian says: I... Thank you. Both of you. I feel like I have had a weight lifted from my shoulders.
- Voraxian says: Could... I stay here and listen to a few more tales?
- Veritistrasz smiles.
- Veritistrasz says: I would like that.
On complete, Veritistrasz has a new gossip option:
- <Decide to stay a while.>
