Notes
On accept:
- General Draven says: Denathrius caused the anima drought and has fed his vast stores into the Maw. He is in league with the Jailer.
- Tal-Inara says: Purpose save us all! It is worse than we could have imagined.
- As Bolvar speaks, Caretaker Kah-Lod approaches Overseer Kah-Sher, who notices and turns to them. Kah-Lod briefly speaks to him.
- Highlord Bolvar Fordragon says: It seems the Jailer has been pulling the strings of fate on our world as well.
- Kah-Sher turns to Tal-Inara.
- Overseer Kah-Sher says: Honored Voice! The Eternal Ones have summoned you to the Arbiter's chamber!
- Tal-Inara says: Then I must answer their call. Come with me, Maw Walker. Perhaps they can guide our path.
- Tal-Inara says: Kah-Delen, bring the covenant representatives to the Enclave. After the mortal and I have finished, we will convene with you there. With her voice have I spoken.
- Overseer Kah-Delen says: Blessed be her voice.
- A cutscene plays. Tal-Inara and the Maw Walker walk to the center of the Crucible, as the Arbiter stands, ever still.
- Tal-Inara says: As the Arbiter's voice, I heed the call of the Eternal Ones. How may I serve?
- Tal-Inara bows.
- Images of Kyrestia the Firstborne and the Winter Queen appear, along with the banner of the Primus.
- Kyrestia the Firstborne says: The Maw grows, surging with power! How did this come to pass?!
- Winter Queen says: The evil we believed forever bound has conspired to distract and divide us.
- The Winter Queen points to the Primus' banner.
- Winter Queen says: The Primus realized the truth, but his warning came too late. I fear he paid a grave price for this knowledge.
- The image of Prince Renathal appears, somewhat recovered but still clutching his ribs.
- Kyrestia the Firstborne says: You speak for Revendreth? Where is your sire? Where is our brother Denathrius?
- Prince Renathal says: My sire... has betrayed us all.
- Prince Renathal says: The drought was his doing. He stole the very lifeblood of our realms, starving his own people... and yours as well.
- Prince Renathal says: When his lies were exposed, Denathrius unleashed his vast coffers of anima into the Maw... to fuel the might of his true master.
- Kyrestia the Firstborne says: Long ago, we stood as one to imprison that... monster.
- Kyrestia the Firstborne says: With the Primus gone and Denathrius a traitor, our pantheon has been broken... and doom comes for the Shadowlands.
- Renathal gestures to the player.
- Prince Renathal says: There is yet hope. This mortal saved me from the Maw and revealed the sire's treachery.
- Winter Queen says: They aided my forest as well. Their kind has shown great potential. If focused, it could turn the tide in our favor.
- Kyrestia the Firstborne says: Agreed. For the good of the Shadowlands, each mortal must choose a covenant.
- Winter Queen says: And when our realms have regained their strength, we will stand together against the darkness.
- Tal-Inara bows.
- Tal-Inara says: I will see it done, Eternal Ones. With her voice have I spoken.
- As the images disappear, Tal-Inara turns to the player.
- Tal-Inara says: Come, mortal. The hour of decision is at hand.
