Dialogue
- Are you by any chance...? No, it is you! This is well and truly an honor. I did not think I would get the chance to meet one of the heroes responsible for Shiro Tagachi's defeat. Cantha owes you a debt of gratitude for what you have done.
- Since the fall of the Betrayer, Cantha has continued the fight to protect itself. The Ministry of Purity was formed to empower the people, that we might stand together as a stronger whole, to keep our homes and loved ones safe. Countless lives were lost to the Afflicted Plague, and that is a horror that we must never allow to happen again.
- The Ministry of Purity has fought tirelessly against the Afflicted, and the end seems to be in sight, at last. I wonder... if this would not be too forward of me to ask, would you lend Cantha your aid once more? Afflicted have been found in Bukdek Byway. I go there to face them, and I would be privileged to have you stand at my side.
- Accept: "Very well. It's time to see this through."
- Reject: "I've dealt with Shiro. The Afflicted are your problem now."
- When asked about quest: "..."
Intermediate Dialogue 1
- It doesn't matter how many times I see these creatures, I'm never able to forget that they were once Human
Intermediate Dialogue 2
- Imagine how terrifying it must have been for them. Slowly losing themselves to something so twisted. No one should have to leave this world in that way.
Intermediate Dialogue 3
- Some part of me looks at the afflicted and wonders: Who where they before? What must their lives have been like?
Reward Dialogue
- "It is a great thing that we have accomplished this day. We have laid to rest those souls unfairly claimed by the Affliction, and we have made Kaineng a safer place for those who remain. I hope that you will continue to assist us in our endeavor. Please take this as compensation, along with my gratitude."
