For my sake, make it quick.<br /> <br /> ==Conversation 1==<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Player:&#039;&#039;&#039; Do you need help carrying?<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; Little cub, there is no greater insult to a worldbearer. Shall I rub your belly so you can digest? Shall I move your feet so you can walk?<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; Garra! I know your culture: you call us pack mules and servants. There is no indignity in what I do! There is only honour in bearing another&#039;s burdens.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Player:&#039;&#039;&#039; I didn&#039;t mean to insult you.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; Bah, you are right. I must have woken on the wrong side of the stream today, little cub. Ignore me.<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Player:&#039;&#039;&#039; You&#039;re carrying a few burdens of your own.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; Grrrr! Although my role is to carry - and I carry for you now - I like it as much as I like your stale odour. Can we press on before I do something that I will get exiled for?<br /> <br /> ==Conversation 2==<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Player:&#039;&#039;&#039; You shouldn&#039;t complain so much.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; Do not pretend that we are in the servant and master role, little cub! Our alliance is a delicate one and will end some day, through good means or bad.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; When that day comes, you may not find that I am so helpful. Our goal is to blast this dungeon apart, but I have no issue with leaving you behind.<br /> <br /> ==Conversation 3==<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Player:&#039;&#039;&#039; What is it like to be a worldbearer?<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; The worldbearers are the legs and back of the gorajo; we bear the provisions, tents and tools from one destination to another.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; And when the gorajo are not moving, the worldbearers prepare and serve the food. It is an important role, and one that is esteemed among my clansmen.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Player:&#039;&#039;&#039; It sounds like hard work. There can&#039;t be much time to enjoy yourself.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is rewarding in its own way. When a worldbearer is put to rest, they are stripped of all belongings, to be reincarnated as a creature without burden: a sparrowhawk or a wildcat, perhaps.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; Although we face trials in this life, our next is free and joyful.<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Player:&#039;&#039;&#039; You carry everything and have to serve it too?<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; The clan sees the worldbearer as the nurturing mother wolf: proudly defending her pack while carrying the food and delivering it to her pups.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; I would prefer a more masculine comparison; never mind, it has been so for centuries.<br /> <br /> ==Conversation 4==<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Player:&#039;&#039;&#039; I don&#039;t have any more questions.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;Worldbearer:&#039;&#039;&#039; That is good to hear. I am not one to talk.</div>
