Description

I can't believe how much Nari has been through. This perversion of our history, our culture... my family...

<Lysander glances at his sister.>

These demons came in here from somewhere. I'm certain the source of their invasion lies in the depths of our barrow den. You and I can put a stop to it.

I won't let this place haunt her any longer, <name>.

Progress

I will not let my family's legacy wither away.

Completion

Lysander... he is determined, I'll give him that.

And brave.

Thank you, <name>. Now... it is time to face the leader of all of this.

Notes

Upon accept of both

Maiev Shadowsong says: Champion, Arko'narin and I will find Lord Hel'nurath. Take the ma... take Lysander with you. Put an end to the demon's minions. Meet with us after you have finished.

Lysander Starshade says: Yes, Warden!

Lysander Starshade says: I am sorry, my friend. I did not realize what this place really was.

Lysander Starshade says: Long ago, these were barrow dens. My mother used to rest here when she was called to the Emerald Dream.

Lysander Starshade says: That must be why my sister came here with her friend, Trey. To fix this place for my mother and our family.

First portal

Lysander Starshade says: I can disrupt this portal, but it will require concentration. Please, defend me while I shut it down.

Lysander Starshade says: My parents told me she was captured. But they were certain she'd return home.

Lysander Starshade says: And she did. But the sparkle left her eyes. I knew there were things they didn't tell me.

Lysander Starshade says: Things she didn't tell me.

Second portal

Lysander Starshade says: Another portal! Protect me, and I will take care of it.

Lysander Starshade says: I may be young, but I have tasted grief. You have, too. I can tell.

Lysander Starshade says: Sometimes I feel like that's all Nari thinks we are worth. Mourning.

Lysander Starshade says: We are more than that. My face bears the scars of our tragedies, but I am not broken.

Lysander Starshade says: None of us are.

Third portal

Lysander Starshade says: Blasted portal. Cover me, and I'll tear it down.

Lysander Starshade says: We need each other. Now more than ever. I hope I can show her that, in time.

Lysander Starshade says: I know you see it too. It's why you're here, isn't it? For yourself... and for all of us.
