Sygrund, the Brave
Ready to brawl, comrade?
Of course, let's go.
I see you bring a Hunter's Permit! You must already know our situation. Prepare your hunting senses and meet us at the Hunter's Trials.
Let's do it. (Hand over the Hunter's Permit)
I'm not ready yet.
*Sygrund's incorporeal hand passes through you as he attempts to clasp your shoulder* {^n}{^n}Oh ho! Welcome, Comrade! You may call me Sygrund the Brave, but you... you need not an introduction! {^n}I've been watching you closely. The way that you dispatch my fellow hunters is nothing short of artful.
Nice to meet you!
Thrawn asked me to inform you of what I have built. He said it might be of use to you. I imagine it's applications could enable you to both hone your senses and acquire very rare and powerful equipment.
Loot? I'm all ears!
You might have noticed that hunting down ghosts sometimes grants Essences of Alteration. A valuable and powerful resource. Unfortunately, it is somewhat hard to utilize their power, which is why we have created this majestic beauty! The "Tree of Alteration"! Placing the essences into its nodes will channel their power and heighten your senses, enabling you to detect ghosts more easily... but also more powerful ones.
I will gladly try it out.
Wahahaha! I like you. Now that my task is completed, I urge you to go meet up with Thrawn!
I'll see you on the frontline.
I'll think about it.
Hmmm... Don't think too long about it! Wahahaha! Now that my task of informing you is complete, I urge you to go meet up with Thrawn!
I'll see you on the frontline.
Your fellow hunters?
Hmmm. {^n}The sad truth is that my fellow hunters have lost their way, such is the nature of undeath. {^n}Countless years of stagnation have weighed wholly on their hearts and minds, driving them to be nothing more than feral- hunting the strongest creatures that cross their path, which just so happens to be you. {^n}The same fate awaits me, I hope that you will offer me the mercy you offered them, comrade.
I see. Thrawn sent me to you.

I must take my leave, Sygrund. The hunt calls.
Ah! My good friend! Any news from the frontline?
Thrawn has sent me.

I want to ask something
How can I be of help, comrade?
I sense a powerful presence... Somewhere
So you are truly becoming a hunter... how fascinating. What you are now sensing the three of us have sensed for years, powerful creatures who have waited for the right time to make themselves known. I suppose with the world in shambles and the hunters in disarray, the time has finally come. Against creatures this mighty, the three of us wouldn't stand a chance... but you? You might be able to save this world yet, comrade!
I would like to ask something else.

I must take my leave, Sygrund. The hunt calls.

Who is behind these ambushes?

Where is here, exactly?
Oh! Where are my manners? Welcome to the Hunter's Blind! In our glory days, this hall would be filled with the most skilled hunters in all of Arkovia! Weapons would be honed, Knowledge would be shared, and drinks would be drunk! It is here that we can lick our wounds and strategize our next steps.
I would like to ask something else.

I must take my leave, Sygrund. The hunt calls.

Why do they call you Sygrund the Brave?
In my time as a hunter, I never felt more or less brave than anyone else I fought beside, but I suppose as a young man I fought rather recklessly. {^n}However, as I grew older, i realized that bravery was a banner to rally behind. The most impactful thing I could do was to become a symbol- and sygrund the brave has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Hohoho!
I would like to ask something else.

I must take my leave, Sygrund. The hunt calls.

Can you explain the Tree of Alteration again?
You can use the Tree of Alteration, to my side here, to unlock the powers that dwell within the Essences of Alteration. Just place them into the nodes.
I would like to ask something else.


I must take my leave, Sygrund. The hunt calls.
I must take my leave, Sygrund. The hunt calls.
May the starlight guide your path, comrade!
Goodbye
