Slaves? This goes against everything the Ezomytes stand for.
RigwaldGlyph1
NPCTextAudio
You can take a wolf from the forest. You can collar him, chain him. You can starve him, beat him until he whimpers and bows down. Yet, is that wolf a dog?

Never.

A man is only a slave when he allows his heart and mind to be conquered. When he comes to believe that his life is no longer his own. When he chooses to cast his eyes forever to the ground.

Like a king that chooses to press his lips to the feet of an emperor. A king that looks to his goblet and his plate, feasting and fattening while his people starve in their own streets.

Some might say that I should bear the guilt of regicide. That I killed the King of the Ezomytes. Yes, I served King Skothe his last meal, for I saw no king at that table.

I saw a dog.

- Rigwald, the Wolven King
RigwaldGlyph3
NPCTextAudio
The colours and banners of a hundred clans, scattered like the wildflowers of spring across the meadows of Glargarryn. Thousands of men and women, starving, poor, armed with rusted hatchets and hunting bows, looking across that field, with the courage of desperation, at the imperial legion arrayed against them.

Soldiers gleaming in bronze and steel. Trained and hardened men. Their polished shields forming a wall of discipline and determination against the advances of my motley rabble.

"I sing, I rant, I rave," I said to them, "but today, clansmen, my sword is my voice!"

We crashed against that legion like waves upon a cliff. Time and time again they repelled us. The green meadows became brown and red with the mud of toil and the blood of war.

Yet what is a slave to do? Suffer the lingering death of mine and mill, or offer the gift of your life to your people in one bright and glorious moment?

For the men and women who followed me into battle, the choice was a simple one.

Three Ezomytes fell for every Eternal and still the courage of my people tore down that polished wall, severed the strong arm of the Empire with a rusted, woodman's hatchet.

Gaius Sentari ran for his wretched life.

I called to the Greatwolf to aid me, to give me the scent of that fleeing fox. Though the hunt was swift, I took the time to ensure that Gaius felt some small measure of the suffering he had inflicted before I answered his plea for mercy.

- Rigwald, the Wolven King
RigwaldGlyph4
NPCTextAudio
I stood with the Army of Purity and looked upon the mighty walls of Sarn. I fought against Chitus and his Gemling aberrations. I watched the strongest of our army, Ezomyte, Maraketh, Karui and Templar, struck down by creatures born of thaumaturgy.

It will take more than strong men and women to defeat Chitus, for this is no longer a war of mud and blood. We face monsters, and to defeat them, we need some monsters of our own.

Here I stand, amongst these stones. Here I lay my gifts of blood and song, of flesh and fire. Here I call out to the First Ones, beasts of legend, terrors of our dreams. Here I howl to the Greatwolf himself.

Should he answer, I am ready to pay the price that I know he will ask. It is no more than a man should do for his family. It is no more than a king should do for his people.

- Rigwald, the Wolven King
RigwaldGlyph5
NPCTextAudio
The Greatwolf has come for me. His heart beats within my chest. His tongue lolls within my mouth. His fangs crown my jaw. His eyes rest within my sockets.

I do not see Ezomyte and Eternal, king and commoner, master and slave. I see only prey.

In the world of street and field, the emperor has fallen. Those who were slaves are now free.

In the world of forest and mountain, the First Ones hunt and feed as they have done since the first dawn.

No longer will I walk among my people. I will not have their blood on my lips. I will not be their king.

I am the King of Wolves now.

- Rigwald
HelenaOnEinhar
NPCTextAudio
When I first met him, I underestimated Einhar. Coming from the poorest of Ezomytes, themselves already a battered people in this region of the world, Einhar struck me as someone who could contribute brawn to our cause, but not much else.

How wrong I was. If anyone can decipher the dark design afflicting the creatures of Wraeclast, it's him. I've been looking for the source of all this, an equation or overall pattern, but he's unknowingly taken an empirical approach. By learning about and understanding every single corrupted animal - and the energies their blood contains - he's done more to advance our understanding of the problem than I could ever have done myself.

One day, he may even solve the symptoms of Corruption without ever understanding the root cause. Make no mistake, exile, that's... impressive. A humanistic brute force approach to a cosmic problem.

Badwyth Nems? Is that Ezomyte? I'll write it down so I don't forget. Right under Vinderi. I think that's the tall lad.
CadiroOnFarrulsFur
NPCTextAudio
Furs blessed by an Ezomyte goddess? I'd wash those before you wear them. The Ezomytes are a primitive breed, yet they fancy themselves as romantic poets. Make no mistake: what they lack in eloquence, they make up for with sheer brutality.
CadiroNewOnEinhar
NPCTextAudio
How do you know the Wandering Ezomyte? That strange man poached a few exotic animals from Perandus estates. Our soldiers never could track him down. Eventually, I just gave up and wrote off the losses. I'm rather astounded to see him still on the hunt...
UnaGraveyard
NPCTextAudio
The graves of our people lie beneath the Eternals' tombs. Despite their best efforts to bury our legacy, we remain. Now they are gone, and we live on. This is the cycle of life as we have always known it. Everyone dies, but the clan endures, and the greatest glory an Ezomyte can attain is to live on in a song or a poem. That is why we do not fight the wood and stone to reclaim our buried graves, and it is something the Eternals never understood: we don't need the graves. We still have the songs and the stories that matter. They could never take those from us.
RenlyCountDead
NPCTextAudio
Count Geonor is dead. I never thought there'd come a day when such a statement brought relief.

We can finally start rebuilding our poor damaged Ogham. It's going to be a long and difficult struggle, but it's not nearly the first time we Ezomytes have had to rise from the ashes.
RenlyClearfellVillage
NPCTextAudio
This place is our new start. Clearfell Encampment was just a logging site, but now it's the seed of the Ezomyte people in Ogham. We're gon'a have to fight back the darkness and rebuild. It'll take all the strength we have, and more, but I believe we can do it.
RenlyOgham
NPCTextAudio
This part of Phaaryl has been a fair home for many an Ezomyte generation. The clans didn't always get along, but we had to settle our feuds when the Eternals laid their savage boot upon us.
We weren't able to take part in the Bloody Flowers Rebellion, but we had our share of conflict with them here. Their ruins run over top of ours, fighting a silent war in stone.
RenlyFatherhoodSon
NPCTextAudio
I know I'm not your father, lad, but I've tried hard to raise you the best I can. I don't know how the Karui might have taught you, but I imagine you'd still be the man you are today. You've always had a strong will. That's what truly makes you an Ezomyte, no matter where you were born.
RenlyGraveyard
NPCTextAudio
Tread as heavily as you like. The Eternals stomped their graves all over ours when they had a conqueror's foothold here. Now if those graves have turned up and released their dead, take our vengeance on them.
Some even say, when the night is darkest, our ancestors still fight theirs among the tombs. I don't doubt it. A true Ezomyte never surrenders their land, not even in death.
IronCountManorJournal1Glyph
NPCTextAudio
Outsiders can never understand the Ezomyte struggle. Our folklore goes back to the very Winter of the World, when we were but savages clawing grubs from the dirt.

The Eternal Empire tried to crush us. They failed. Not even the event that destroyed the Vaal could end us. We strengthened in the wake of their Cataclysm, harnessing runes, mastering the world around us.

We have always fought for survival, for home, for hearth. That is the bloodline I am proud of, stretching back thousands of years... That is what I must defend... To keep pure.
LachlannOnOgham
NPCTextAudio
Ogham? Oh yes, Ogham... this is the oldest home of the Ezomytes as we know ourselves. Past generations departed from here to settle Ezomyr and the Isles of Skothe. We did not always call this part of Phaaryl our homeland... and now the Eternals have come with their armies and laid claim to this place. It'll be a cold day in the Vastiri Desert before we submit!
LachlannOnPhaaryl
NPCTextAudio
Before... Phaaryl...? Ah... the songs are unclear after so much time. A great many generations ago, we were driven here from elsewhere. There was simply too much Corruption, too much darkness... it was a time of chaos and terror, and much was lost. Our clans swore that this was the last time we would ever be cast out of our homes. Rise up, Ezomytes! We shall drive off these Eternal bastards!
LachlannGraveyardGlyph
NPCTextAudio
The family of Count Lachlann of Ogham, murdered by the savage Eternals, laid to rest here for all time, together.

The Ezomytes will have their vengeance!

EinharFourLocals
NPCTextAudio
The Ezomytes here are very different to Einhar. They have built barriers between themselves and the forest. It is a rejection of the First One's gifts! I think that is why the corruption is returning.

It is a sign that the end is coming. Of that, I am sure.
DefectorOnTheCountess
NPCTextAudio
This... Oriana... the one you called a 'Countess'... Jamanra has declared her our Queen. She first came to us from the south, and seemed sympathetic to our cause. She promised us power... the power to take back our lives. She left for Ezomyte lands, vowing to return with something that would resurrect our greatest hero, Jamanra. With that hope dangled before us, the Faridun united for the first time since his death. We prepared, as she asked. We took the quarry. We began working on the Dreadnought. I am ashamed to admit I was a devout believer in the cause... until the day she kept her promise. She did return. She did bring the power to resurrect Jamanra. She brought... the Beast.
CountsStudySecretJournalText
NPCTextAudio
...I believe in the Twilight Order's supposed cause, I simply don't trust them. Outsiders can never understand the Ezomyte struggle. Our songs and stories go back to the very Winter of the World, when we were but savages clawing grubs from the dirt of what would one day be Ezomyr. We have always fought for survival, for home, for hearth. That is the bloodline I am proud of, stretching back thousands of years.

But as I sit in the crimson light of this strange Seed, I wonder if I have made the right choice. That dark being we accosted and strung up at the Twilight Order's behest seemed to be some sort of caretaker for this living oddity. I know nothing of this Seed, and now it rests in the heart of my Manor. Am I the right man for this? Is my bloodline strong enough to contain this abomination? If only I knew for certain...
MysticOnEzomytes
NPCTextAudio
We did send a single {dekhara} to the island of Ogham to glean what clues we can about Corruption. She verified much of what your shade told us, and brought back a few tales as well. It seems you are a natural fit for the mercenary role you serve with us, given that you did the same in Ogham for their legendary hero, Finn. New Ezomyte myths are rare in these parts. The other tale-women will be quite impressed when I tell them how Finn saved Ogham and built a grand treetop mansion in which to house and feed his loyal vassals. How unbelievable! A fortress {in the trees?} I've hardly seen a single healthy tree in my time, but Ogham is covered with trunks as tall as the Ancient Gates themselves! Whole forests, and rivers, too! Truly, a wondrous land.
UnaNewRedValeUnexplored
NPCTextAudio
There is a battlefield not far from here that runs red with rust, where the weapons and armour of countless Ezomytes still remain... We call it the Red Vale. You should search the area. There may still be power in some of those centuries old relics. Renly will know how to forge them. Bring the runes to him, and then, perhaps, we shall find some answers.
UnaNewTreeGossip
NPCTextAudio
My mother's mother told me tales of this Tree. Our ancestors used it to attract fey spirits, until it was given a darker purpose under the Eternals. They would leave Ezomytes strung up on the tree... alive... to starve... to be pecked at by birds...
