Quest/Output Overview:
- Welcome, fellow seeker of virtue. We have established a new study here and, to be frank, are hoping for the help of you and your fellows.
- My name is Martin, and I am a guide for the students of virtue here.
- I am a guide for the students of virtue that study here. I greet visitors to the study, help keep things orderly and tidy, and collect books of interest for the students.
- I am well. Thank you for your concern.
- My students require books for their studies. I hope you can assist with this.
- There are three students with us today. There was a fourth, but I am afraid she has left us for her own journey. Feel free to speak with the remaining three, Daria, Timothy, and Elizabeth, to learn about what insights they have gleaned.
- I am trying to assemble works that illustrate the virtues in action for the students here, but they have proven difficult to find. Perhaps people are just not interested in their message any more. However, I am willing to reward adventurers such as yourself. If you can find the twelve books - four for each virtue - each of my students requires that have been scattered, they will give you pieces of a statue that illustrates the nature of virtue. I will assemble those pieces for you once you have all three, as a way of thanking you for your perseverance.
- We hope to renew an interest in the study of the virtues that people in good character strive to live in accordance with. Many have forgotten or pay only lip service to these, and our land is suffering for it. One only needs to look no father than the rulers of our fair city, the exemplars of the virtue of Love, Siranto and Khasi, and the politics and scheming that drive them apart. Truth and Courage have fallen by the wayside for many as well.
- Unfortunately, many of the books that students of virtue have found referred to in their studies have been lost through the years. This will not be a short or easy journey, I am afraid. You may want to seek the counsel of other adventurers and cooperate in finding these works.
- People are more concerned with the struggles they face as part of their daily lives. This is understandable, but why one would try to fix a broken clockwork without a proper toolbox is a matter that has often brought consternation to my mind. It is, in fact, why I founded this study and sought to find other students.
- Our study hall here is small, but sufficient to meet our needs. I thank you for your concern.
- Daria is studying the virtue of courage. Any works you can find that express the meaning of courage would be of help to her. Feel free to discuss the nature of courage with her as well.
- Timothy is studying the virtue of love. Any works you can find that express the meaning of love would be of help to him. Feel free to discuss his thoughts on the matter with him.
- Elizabeth is studying the virtue of truth. Any works you can find that express the meaning of truth would be of help to her. Feel free to discuss the nature of truth with her as well.
- I will not speak ill of my former student, Gina. She has gone to find her own path. I hope it leads her back to us. I fear that her view of the virtues is not a correct one and will lead her astray.
- I will not lie to you and say I approve of how some make a virtue of casting aside virtue. It is an appeal to the baser nature of us all and, I would postulate, actually is a large part of why we find ourselves at the point where the Dire Prophecies actually appear to be imminent.
- I believe they were intended as a warning, not a map to the future. Prophecies are meant to show us the road as it reaches the horizon, not to force us to walk down that road. You path, I hope, will prove the truth of this.
- Timothy is studying on the meaning of love currently. I recommend talking to him, so that you both may learn.
- Elizabeth is contemplating the nature of truth. I recommend asking her for her thoughts on the subject.
- Daria is attempting to understand what courage is. Perhaps you could talk to her and help her gain some insight.
- Our leaders should express the very nature of love in the personification of how they guide and lead us, yet in falling astray from love personally, they have grown apart not only from each other but in how they rule. Where once there was the implicit trust that arises from love, now there is mistrust, plotting and fear. Perhaps as you help address the problems they face, you can also help them return to remembering why they must be together and what they represent.
