Villager Introductions

Ashura

Ashura

Welcome to Kilima! I'm sure this is quite a lot to take in.

I'm Ashura, the innkeeper at the Ormuu's Horn. Unfortunately, there isn't any room at the inn right now.

Auni

Auni

And I wanted you to have your mail! I'm Auni, and I handle all the deliveries around here.

Twice a day every day, rain or shine! Six in the morning and six at night!

Badruu

Badruu

Well, if it isn't another friend I haven't met yet!

I'm Badruu, the farmer, and I sense we have some good THYMES ahead.

Did I mention in addition to farming, I'm [sic] also do stand-up comedy?

Caleri

Caleri

Another newcomer, eh? Hmphf.

Perhaps you think this building looks friendly and inviting. Maybe you thought you could even borrow a book or two.

INCORRECT. A Palian Librarian's job is not to just loan books out willy-nilly.

No, she must also guard the knowledge within those sacred tomes.

I don't know how they did things where you come from, but we Palians believe knowledge, in the wrong hands, can be disastrous.

You may peruse the books marked for public use, but you won't see a drop of extra knowledge until I have properly vetted you!

Now, off you go. I am far too busy to keep coddling you.

Chayne

Chayne

Another child of the Phoenix joins our little village. I must say, today is a lovely day to be born.

I am Chayne, the local ritual sage, and devotee of Maji, the Great Dragon.

It's my job as Kilima's healer and sage to care for our villagers both physically and spiritually.

So, how are you feeling? I am sure this is quite a lot to take in.

Player

This world is amazing!

Chayne

I am glad to hear it. Keep that positivity and you'll overcome any troubles the world offers you.

Player

It's a little overwhelming.

Chayne

I promise everyone in Kilima will do their best to make you feel comfortable and welcome.

I do not know why the gods brought you here, but I am sure there must be some great plan in store. I look forward to seeing it.

Now, you'll want to speak to Ashura before you do anything else. Just take this path towards the village. He'll be in the big building with the keg out front.

Delaila

Delaila

It's nice to meet ya, (Player).

I'm Delaila, mother to Auni and Nai'o, wife to Badruu...

...and the boss of this here farm if ya don't mind me sayin' so.

If yer ever in need of a fresh pint o' milk or a coupla eggs, be sure to give me a holler.

Einar

Einar

Oh...hello...you seem to be another new person.

Unless I have previously made your acquaintance...in which case, my apologies for forgetting you.

I am often too distracted by my Oneness to take notice of such things as meeting new people.

And there seem to be so many new people lately...

Player

What is the Oneness?

Einar

Silly Human! The Oneness is merely the Oneness.

The Oneness cannot be learned by listening to the sound of air as it moves through your face flaps,[sic] it must be experienced.

For me, that experience usually involves much fishing.

Elouisa

Missing paths for Fire and Earth dialogue.

Elouisa

Oh, another Human! I must say, this is quite exciting!

So, how is it?

Player

Who are you?

Elouisa

Oh, me? I am just an intrepid explorer of the supernatural, a detective of the unseen divine, a pioneer of pervasive thought...

You may call me Elouisa. Now, you must tell me: do your eyes hurt?

Player

Why would they hurt?

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

I'm just looking for Ashura

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

How is what?

Elouisa

Why, the overworld! You see, I knew the Humans did not really go extinct.

No, the only answer is that you retreated beneath the soil!

I cannot imagine how stressful it must be. I am sure you have many questions. But first, you should go get set up with Ashura.

Player

It's... fine?

Elouisa

Good, good. I was worried your eyes might hurt.

Player

Why would they hurt?

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

I'm just looking for Ashura

Elouisa

Information Needed

---

Elouisa

Yes, that will give me time to organize my investigation... Just take this path towards the village. He will be in the inn in the center of town.

Eshe

Eshe

Another Human! This village is practically becoming overrun.

I'm sure you want to talk to me about securing a housing permit.

Well, it's nice to want things...

I want the crown jewels of Akwindu[sic], but you don't see me prancing around in a tiara.

If you need someone to hold your hand, talk to my dimwitted husband.

Please only disturb me if you have important matters to discuss.

Hassian

Hassian

(Player), I presume?

Don't act stunned that I know your name.

I know everything that goes on in this village.

Including when someone new arrives.

My name is Hassian, and I'm in charge of maintaining the natural order of the woods that surround the village.

Be good to the valley, and we will have no quarrel.

Use nature poorly...and you'll find I know how to rid this village of all sorts of pests.

Hekla (introduced by Jina)

And this here is my research assistant, Hekla! Be sure to ask her if you have any questions. I've gotta get back to the grind.

Hodari

Hodari

Hm... s'comin' along. Lotta trash left, though... oh. Hi.

Hodari Pavel, of Pavel Mining. What can I do ya for?

Jel

Missing path for Earth dialogue.

Jel

Hellloo... I am Jel Omiata.

Yes, Omiata, as in the House of Omiata.

You know...the most renowned fashion empire in the whole Bahari province.

You haven't heard of the House of Omiata?

...well, I suppose you DID just materialize out thin air yesterday. So you have a valid excuse.

Tell me, what do you think of the fashion on display at this shop?

Player

I love it!

Jel

Uh...either you're lying to flatter me or you have very provincial taste.

When I was in Bahari, my mind was always bussing with new ideas.

Here I just feel stuck.

Player

It's a bit...quaint.

Jel

Information Needed

Jina

I was so caught off guard I realized I forgot to introduce myself or explain why I'm here. The name's Jina. I'm an apprentice scholar researching these old ruins.

And this here is my research assistant, Hekla! Be sure to ask her if you have any questions. I've gotta get back to the grind.

Kenli

Kenli

Greetings! I am the honorable Kenli Bahari.

The first born son of the late Kenjun Bahari, the 118th Duke of the Bahari province...

And brother of Kenyara Bahari, the current Duchess of the Bahari province.

I am mayor of this fine village, and it is a great pleasure and honor to welcome you here among us.

Kenyatta

Kenyatta

Oh, hey. You're one of the newbies?

That's cool. I'm just taking a break from work. My parents made me get this job at City Hall to teach me about "responsibility".

All it's taught me so far is how to die of boredom.

So stop by again later and keep me entertained, ok? This town needs some more excitement.

Nai'o

Nai'o

Oh, hey! You must be new in town. I'm Nai'o.

My family runs the Daiya Farm over on the west side of Kilima.

If you need someone to show you around the barn or teach you how to ride a riffroc, I'm your guy!

I'm also good at lifting heavy stuff, if you need anything heavy lifted!

Oh, and here's a carrot for Sugarfoot. Give her one of these and you'll be her new best buddy!

Najuma

Najuma

Oh, uhm... hi. I'm Najuma.

I work with my dad in the mines. Or, at least, I used to before he said it was too dangerous.

Not that I meant to complain to a complete stranger. S-sorry.

It's... nice to meet you?

...

Player

...

Najuma

...

...Okay, bye.

Player

Nice to meet you!

Najuma

Nice to meet you too...

W-wait, I just said that. F-forget I said anything!

Reth

Reth

Looking for Ashura? You're in luck, he's literally right across the room.

If you're looking for delicious soups and stews instead, I'm your guy.

Name's Reth, but you can call me trouble.

Stop by later, yeah? Always happy to chat with a friendly new face.

Sifuu

Sifuu

Howdy! I'm Sifuu, the blacksmith around these parts.

But you might recognize me as Sifuu, the famous monster slayer!

Player

You look a little familiar.

Sifuu

A LITTLE familiar?! Phew...I can tell my reputation must be slipping.

I used to be known in all twelve provinces!

Of course, you did just appear from a mysterious void. So, I suppose I can cut you some slack.

Player

I just materialized from a mysterious void...

Sifuu

Right...I suppose I can cut you some slack for not recognizing the most famous monster hunter in all twelve provinces!

Player

You're THAT Sifuu! Wow!

Sifuu

The very one...

Player

If you have to brag, you're not that famous.

Sifuu

Rude...but apt. I suppose I'm not as notorious as I once was in my hayday.

Of course, you did just appear from a mysterious void. So, I suppose I can cut you some slack.

How did a famous monster hunter like me wind up in a quaint suburban hamlet such as this?

Well...that's a good question. Fortunately, I have a good answer.

You see, I became a mother and realized angering dangerous beasties was, well, a little too dangerous for my young son.

So I took up the position of the town blacksmith. These days, I make blades instead of wield them...

Tamala

Missing paths for Air dialogues.

Tamala

Well, hello darling. What brings an intriguing specimen such as yourself all the way out here?

Player

Just wandering around.

Tamala

Information Needed

Player

I was looking for you.

Tamala

Looking for little ole me were you? I'm quite flattered.

Player

That's none of your business.

Tamala

You're private. I can respect that. Still...

Tamala

It gets rather lonely out here in the woods.

I'd be thrilled to have a little company, especially when that company comes in such a fascinating package.

I bet your mind is like a gift just waiting to be unwrapped.

Tish

Tish

Are you new in town or just passing through?

Player

I just moved in.

Tish

So exciting! But also, tough.

Player

I just materialized from a void.

Tish

Well...that sure sounds tough.

When my brother and I first moved in, it took us a little time to adjust.

And we were just coming from one town over, not another plane of existence!

If you need help with any of the locals, don't hesitate to ask.

I'm known as a bit of a grump whisperer in these parts.

Zeki

Zeki

Welcome to the general store, pal.

Actually, you look like you're fresh out of the ruins, so I guess I should say welcome to livin'!

Name's Zeki. I run this here establishment.

Come back when you get some cash, we'll take care of your needs. We got vegetables, seeds, fertilizer...

We got that pointy stick over there that kinda looks like a rake.

All your basic farming whoosits and whatsits.

Update History

Build 0.165:

• Changed Kenyatta's introduction dialogue from "Sup? You're new, right? I'm Kenyatta. Glorified City Hall receptionist. My parents run this place. If you have a problem, you should probably go to one of them. But if you wanna get up to some trouble? Hit me up."
