Pyrokar	So you're the new novice. Well, I assume you have already been given a task by Master Parlan.
Pyrokar	(slightly reproachful) You know that everyone within the Community of the Fire must carry out his duty according to the will of Innos.
Me	I must talk to the paladins. It's urgent.
Pyrokar	And are you going to tell us why you want to talk to them?
Me	I've got an important message for them.
Pyrokar	What message would that be?
Me	An army of evil is assembling in the Valley of Mines, led by the dragons! We must stop them as long as we still can.
Pyrokar	Hm. We shall ponder on your words, novice. When the time has come, we shall let you know what our council decided.
Pyrokar	In the meantime, you had better see to your duties as a novice.
Pyrokar	Well, we don't want to keep you from your work any longer - you can go now.
Me	I'm looking for the Eye of Innos.
Pyrokar	Anyone who thinks he could not only find the sacred amulet, but wear it as well, is a fool.
Pyrokar	The amulet itself chooses its bearer - no one save the one who is destined for it, will be able to wear it.
Me	I'd be willing to give it a try.
Pyrokar	The duty of a novice is to show humility - not desire.
Pyrokar	Well, we don't want to keep you from your work any longer - you may go now.
Me	Some citizens of Khorinis have mysteriously disappeared.
Pyrokar	That fact is known to me, and very regrettable. But we have agreed with the Water Mages that they shall handle this matter.
Pyrokar	The same is true for the investigation of the unusual earthquakes in the north-eastern regions of Khorinis.
Pyrokar	So far, I have not received notice that our intervention would be required. Therefore, we are not going to take any steps in this matter.
Me	Yes, but ...
Pyrokar	No buts! We shall proceed as we see fit, and I hope even YOU are going to respect that.
Pyrokar	(annoyed) Obedience is a virtue you are still going to learn. One way or another.
Me	I want to undergo the Test of Fire.
Pyrokar	(surprised) So you know about ... you want to pass the Test of Fire?
Me	Yes, I refer to the Law of the Fire, which says ...
Pyrokar	(interrupts brusquely) We know the Law of the Fire. We have also seen many novices die during the test. You ought to reconsider this decision.
Me	Yes, I have. I want the test - and I am going to pass it.
Pyrokar	(warning) If you absolutely insist, then the High Council will put you to the test.
Me	I insist on being given the Test of Fire.
Pyrokar	In that case - so be it. When you're ready, each magician from the High Council will give you a mission which you have to fulfill.
Pyrokar	May Innos have mercy on your soul.
Me	I am ready to face your test, Master.
Pyrokar	And only Innos alone knows whether you are going to pass it. You shall be put to the same test which is given to the chosen novices.
Pyrokar	The Test of Magic. (aloof) You probably know that only ONE of the novices can pass the test.
Me	I see. Who are my competitors, then?
Pyrokar	Innos in his wisdom has chosen three novices who are also going to be put through this test: Agon, Igaraz and Ulf. They have already started the search.
Pyrokar	(curtly) But enough of that! Hear the words of the test: 'Follow the signs of Innos and bring us what the believer finds behind the path.'
Pyrokar	You are going to need this key.
Pyrokar	That is all we have to say to you.
Pyrokar	As long as you are engaged with the test, we have nothing to tell you.
Pyrokar	What are you standing around here for? Go and face your test!
Pyrokar	The time has come to follow up your great words with deeds. Do you not think so, novice?
Me	I found the runestone.
Pyrokar	(incredulously) You ... did it?! You followed the signs and discovered the hidden portal ...
Me	... and I defeated all those monsters who had already marked me down as a snack.
Pyrokar	And the other novices, then? What about Agon? Did they not succeed before you?
Me	They have failed. I suppose they weren't destined to pass the test.
Pyrokar	Well, then we declare that you have passed this test. And the runestone shall be yours to keep.
Pyrokar	You have passed the test which I set before you.
Pyrokar	But ...
Pyrokar	... you still have to pass Ulthar's test.
Pyrokar	... you still have to complete the test for Serpentes.
Me	Will I be accepted into the Magicians' Guild now?
Pyrokar	You did it. You have passed the Test of Fire. We were certain all along that you would succeed in doing this.
Pyrokar	(insistent) Just as certain as we are that you will continue to give your best to become a WORTHY servant of Innos.
Pyrokar	So, if you are ready to swear the Oath of Fire, you shall be accepted into our ranks as a magician.
Me	I am ready to step into the Circle of Fire.
Pyrokar	Right, then swear the sacred Oath of Fire.
Pyrokar	(solemnly) Do you swear, before Lord Innos the Almighty, his servants and the Holy Flame ...
Pyrokar	... that henceforth and forever, your very life shall be united with the fire ...
Pyrokar	... until your body and soul find rest in its sacred halls and the flame of your life dies away?
Me	I swear.
Pyrokar	By speaking the words of the oath, you have entered the pact with the fire.
Pyrokar	Wear this robe as a token of the eternal bond.
Pyrokar	Now that you have been accepted into our ranks, you can talk to Lord Hagen, the high commander of the paladins.
Pyrokar	We are also very interested to hear how he assesses the situation. So you are free now to go to Khorinis.
Pyrokar	We expect you to bring us his answer immediately.
Me	What all can I learn now?
Pyrokar	First of all, you are now entitled to learn about the Circles of Magic. They will give you the power to use the runes.
Pyrokar	The higher you rise through the six Circles of Magic, the stronger the spells become that you can work.
Pyrokar	You can learn the formulae from the brothers in the monastery. Each of them has specialized in a certain area which he will teach you.
Pyrokar	Karras, for example, is a master of invocation and summoning, and Hyglas will teach you the magic of fire.
Pyrokar	Nobody knows more about the powers of ice and thunder than Marduk. Parlan can teach you various other incantations - and he will initiate you into the first circles.
Pyrokar	But each of them will only teach you the formula - the runes you will have to create for yourself.
Me	I'd like to express a wish ...
Pyrokar	After he has been accepted, each magician has the right to his first act.
Pyrokar	So, what will your first act as a magician be?
Me	None.
Pyrokar	(astonished) So be it. The new magician foregoes his act.
Me	Let the novice Dyrian stay in the monastery.
Pyrokar	So be it.
Pyrokar	The novice will be allowed to remain in the monastery, and he will fill the position of gardener which is now vacant.
Me	Let the novice Babo be head of the monastery gardens.
Pyrokar	So be it.
Pyrokar	Effective immediately, the novice Babo will be in charge of the monastery gardens.
Me	Let the novice Opolos have access to the library.
Pyrokar	So be it.
Pyrokar	From now on, the novice Opolos will study the scriptures of Innos.
Me	I carry news of Lord Hagen. He wants proof for the presence of the dragons and the army of evil.
Me	So I shall go down to the Valley of Mines and get him his proof.
Pyrokar	Good. You will follow this order, then. The paladin Sergio is to escort you to the pass.
Pyrokar	May Innos protect you.
Me	So I headed right down to the Valley of Mines.
Pyrokar	Good. Since you already know the way to the valley, you are not going to need an escort.
Pyrokar	Take care of this matter for Lord Hagen - may Innos protect you.
Me	Teach me the last Circle of Magic.
Pyrokar	A lot of time has passed since you have entered the bond with the fire. Much has happened, and we find no rest.
Pyrokar	You are the Chosen of Innos. Therefore you will need all your strength to prevail in your battles.
Pyrokar	I shall now consecrate you, Chosen One. You are entering the sixth Circle - may you bring light and disperse the darkness.
Pyrokar	You can now learn the magic formulae for the last circle from me, if you so desire.
Pyrokar	Oh - and one more thing. It took me a while to recognize you.
Pyrokar	You got that letter from me back when they threw you into the Barrier.
Me	Yes, you spared me the judge's blathering that way.
Pyrokar	And you are the Chosen of Innos.
Pyrokar	Receive now my blessing, oh Chosen One!
Pyrokar	Innos, light of the sun and fire of the world, bless this man, your chosen servant.
Pyrokar	Give him courage, strength, and wisdom to follow the path which you have ordained for him.
Pyrokar	The time for this has not yet come. Once you have walked a little farther on the path that Innos will show you, I shall instruct you.
Me	Instruct me.
Pyrokar	There is nothing more that I could teach you.
Me	Parlan sent me. I want to increase my magic powers.
Pyrokar	Well, you have learned a lot, and your strength has grown. From now on, you will learn from me.
Me	I want to increase my magic powers.
Pyrokar	I can feel that the magic power flows through you well and truly. Even I cannot show you how you could increase it further.
Me	Bless me, Master.
Me	What about a little blessing? I could surely use it.
Pyrokar	May your final battle against our archenemy be crowned with success. Innos be with you.
Pyrokar	May Innos stand between you and harm on all the unholy paths you will have to walk.
Me	I've come from the old Valley of Mines.
Pyrokar	What do you have to report?
Me	The enemy has formed up there with an army of orcs and dragons.
Pyrokar	We have already learned that from Milten - but what about the king's shipment of ore?
Me	The mine they are digging for Garond in the valley cannot satisfy the demands of the king.
Pyrokar	The days are becoming grayer, and the light of the sun is ever weaker.
Me	I was attacked by men in black robes.
Pyrokar	I know. Those are the Seekers. Henchmen from the nether realms of Beliar. Beware of them. They will try to take possession of you.
Pyrokar	Once possessed, you will no longer be yourself. Only here in the monastery could you find help then. So be careful.
Pyrokar	I have asked Karras to look into this matter. He will certainly win some further insights soon which can make us see clearer.
Pyrokar	Here - this rune will bring you directly back to the monastery if you need our help.
Pyrokar	Remember, we must offer resistance, or we shall all be doomed.
Me	I have come to take the Eye of Innos.
Pyrokar	I see that you have received an authorization from Lord Hagen himself to bear the Eye of Innos.
Pyrokar	I am afraid that I have to disappoint you. We have fallen victim to a treacherous plot of the enemy.
Pyrokar	The Eye of Innos has been violently taken from these sacred walls.
Me	Who could be so impudent, Master?
Me	Who did this?
Pyrokar	Evil is cunning and usually works in secret. Only rarely do you see it emerge to pursue its evil machinations in broad daylight.
Pyrokar	But these days, it's a different matter. The enemy now shows himself openly in the street, in every home and every public square.
Pyrokar	This can only mean that he no longer fears any adversary, and is not going to shrink back from anything.
Pyrokar	One of our most faithful followers, a candidate for the high robe of the Magicians of Fire, has changed his allegiance unexpectedly, and in an alarmingly evil manner. Pedro.
Pyrokar	The enemy has taken possession of him, thus inflicting a terrible defeat upon us.
Pyrokar	Pedro has forced his way into our most sacred halls, and stolen the Eye.
Pyrokar	I fear that he simply spent too much time by himself, outside of the gates and thus beyond the protective walls of the monastery, exposed to all lurking dangers.
Me	Where did the thief flee to?
Pyrokar	Pedro knocked down some of the other novices who tried to stop him, and disappeared into the morning mist.
Pyrokar	Many novices have gone after him to bring the Eye back to its place unharmed.
Pyrokar	If you want to catch up to them, you need to hurry before Pedro disappears out of your reach.
Me	I have found the Eye of Innos. It's broken.
Pyrokar	But ... that cannot be. What happened?
Me	Some really nasty customers had it. Anyway, I came too late.
Me	They were performing a strange incantation on a crescent-shaped ritual site up in those woods.
Pyrokar	Innos be with us. They have desecrated our Circle of the Sun.
Pyrokar	Even in my worst nightmares I could never have imagined they would possess this kind of power.
Me	What can we do now?
Pyrokar	The enemy has become very strong. Still, this ancient artifact meant a powerful threat to him.
Pyrokar	We must heal the Eye and restore its old power. But time works against us.
Pyrokar	I cannot begin to imagine what is now going to become of us all. Without the protection of the Eye, we are helplessly at the mercy of the enemy.
Pyrokar	Go to Vatras, the Water Mage in town. In this terrible situation, only he will know what is to be done. Take the Eye to him, and hurry.
Me	Why Vatras?
Pyrokar	The privilege of the robe does not authorize you to question my instructions, Brother.
Pyrokar	Vatras is a servant of Adanos. The knowledge of the Water Mages alone will bring us clarity in this dark hour.
Pyrokar	That is all you need to know.
Me	What is the Circle of the Sun?
Pyrokar	Every year, all the magicians and novices of the monastery travel to this place at the time of the solstice to mark the beginning of a new cycle.
Pyrokar	The place is filled with the immeasurable power of the sun.
Pyrokar	Never have I entertained the slightest notion that its power could be reversed. And yet that is what happened.
Me	I have talked to Vatras.
Pyrokar	Ah, good. Where is he?
Me	He's preparing a ritual at the Circle of the Sun in order to heal the Eye of Innos.
Pyrokar	If that is true, then maybe there is hope after all.
Me	Vatras wants Xardas and you to help him with that.
Pyrokar	WHAT? Xardas will be there, too? You cannot be serious.
Me	Hey. This wasn't my decision. Vatras insists.
Pyrokar	It is always that Xardas. I am tired of it. Things could hardly get any worse.
Pyrokar	So how do I know that Xardas is not in league with the enemy?
Pyrokar	I cannot trust Xardas, no matter how much we may need him.
Pyrokar	I am sorry, but I cannot help Vatras under these circumstances.
Me	It can't be done without you. Vatras wouldn't be able to perform the ritual otherwise.
Me	You will have to trust Xardas.
Pyrokar	There is nothing that I have to do, you hear? I do not have the slightest proof that Xardas is not working against us. I cannot do this.
Me	What if I could bring you some proof?
Pyrokar	That is impossible, I fear. It would really have to impress me.
Pyrokar	As far as Xardas is concerned, I have my doubts whether he can still impress me at all.
Me	I brought this book from Xardas.
Me	It's a token of his trust.
Pyrokar	Show me.
Pyrokar	(amazed) But this is incredible. Do you have even the slightest notion what it is that you just gave me?
Me	Ehm. No.
Pyrokar	(irritated) This is an ancient, long-lost tome from days gone by.
Pyrokar	We all thought that it was lost for good, and now I learn that Xardas knew all along what had become of it.
Me	So will you be there for the ritual?
Pyrokar	Yes, I shall depart for the Circle of the Sun, but certainly not because I am convinced of Xardas' good intentions.
Pyrokar	In fact, I am going to make this jackal explain where he has kept the book hidden for so many years. He has definitely gone too far this time.
Pyrokar	I shall see you at the Circle of the Sun.
Me	Do you think you can patch the Eye up again?
Pyrokar	Hard to say. Let us wait and see.
Me	You did it. The Eye of Innos is healed.
Pyrokar	I would hardly have believed it possible.
Me	Yes, Master.
Pyrokar	You have proven many times over that you are ready for the High Order of the Fire Magicians.
Pyrokar	As of today, you are a member of the Council and will represent our order in the world. You are now one of the high Fire Magicians.
Pyrokar	Wear the high robe with dignity and bring the order honor and wealth, my brother.
Me	What remains for me to do here?
Pyrokar	Do not waste your time on trivial things. Go and vanquish the dragons. Here, take the Eye.
Pyrokar	Bear in mind that you need to talk to a dragon first before you can attack it.
Pyrokar	The power of the Eye will force the dragons to speak to you and tell the truth.
Pyrokar	Furthermore, it offers protection against their attacks when you wear it.
Pyrokar	However, its power does not last. You will have to fill it up again with magical energy.
Pyrokar	To do that, you need the essence of a dragon's heart which you join with the Eye at an alchemist's bench.
Pyrokar	Only then can you dare face another dragon.
Me	Thanks. I'll remember that.
Pyrokar	You now have everything you need. Go, then. You do not have much time left.
Me	I have found a strange almanac.
Pyrokar	Really? What kind of an almanac is that?
Me	I'm not sure. I thought you would know what to do with it.
Pyrokar	Forsooth, that is very disquieting. I am glad that you brought it to me. That was very wise.
Pyrokar	I assume that there are more of these. Go and find more of these books of damnation.
Pyrokar	I suspect that it is an instrument of the Seekers' power.
Pyrokar	They use it to control the lost souls of their victims.
Pyrokar	They obviously write down the names of those whom they are planning to possess in these books.
Pyrokar	Listen. I am giving you this magical letter. It will show you the names which are written in the books.
Pyrokar	Find those victims and bring me their books. I shall dispose of them.
Pyrokar	But first, you ought to show at least one of them to Karras. Maybe that will help him in his studies.
Pyrokar	Do not make the mistake to try and destroy them yourself. You are not yet ready to withstand their power.
Pyrokar	Do not get to close to the Seekers, or they will take possession of you.
Pyrokar	If you still find yourself unable to resist their call, come back to me as fast as you can.
Pyrokar	Only here in the monastery can your soul be saved.
Me	Is there no protection against their mental attacks?
Pyrokar	That is possible. Karras could know something about that.
Me	Heal me, Master, for I am possessed.
Pyrokar	So be it! Take this potion. It will relieve you of your nightmares.
Pyrokar	May the mercy of Innos be your salvation.
Pyrokar	Act on his behalf and beware of the evil eye of the enemy.
Pyrokar	But be forewarned - if you expose yourself to their power too often, at some point there will be no turning back for you. Always remember that.
Me	I think I am possessed. Can you heal me?
Pyrokar	Not without a token of your respect for this monastery, my son. 300 gold coins.
Pyrokar	But you only just had your healing potion. Don't come back to me until you really need my help.
Me	Great. Here's the money.
Pyrokar	Here, drink this. May the mercy of Innos be your salvation.
Pyrokar	Bring me the money, and you will be helped.
Me	That's too much.
Me	I can tell you even more about those possessed.
Pyrokar	Speak, Brother.
Me	I have found another almanac.
Me	I've got even more books of the Seekers for you.
Pyrokar	That is good. I am afraid, however, that there are more of these to find. Go on searching.
Pyrokar	Many have been found already. But I do not think that we have all of them.
Pyrokar	You have already brought me a great number of the enemy's books.
Pyrokar	I should be surprised if they had many more in circulation.
Pyrokar	Take this. It is a gift from the monastery which will help you when you face evil.
Pyrokar	And remember to have a look in my magic letter once in a while.
Pyrokar	It is possible that they may try the same on others whose names were not yet found in the almanacs.
Me	All the dragons are dead.
Pyrokar	That is good news indeed. But it does nothing to change our situation, which seems hopeless.
Pyrokar	The Seekers still have not left. On the contrary. I hear more and more reports that, during these last few days, their numbers have even increased.
Pyrokar	Killing off the dragons has dealt the enemy a blow, but it did not suffice. We need to dig this evil out by the roots.
Me	I talked to the dragons.
Pyrokar	What did they say?
Me	They kept talking about the power of their master, and how he settled in the Halls of Irdorath.
Pyrokar	Innos be with us. The Black Temple has regained its power and is now sending its henchmen into our world.
Me	What are these halls of Irdorath?
Pyrokar	The eastern invocation temple of the god Beliar. There are four of them in the land of Myrtana. But this one is probably the most terrifying temple of all.
Pyrokar	About 40 years ago, the northern and western temples of this horrible deity were destroyed.
Pyrokar	The brave knights of that time gave their all to raze those mighty constructions to the ground.
Pyrokar	Back then, the black hordes of the enemy were helpless against the superior numbers and the heroic courage of the knights and paladins.
Pyrokar	It would have been easy to destroy the other two temples as well and rid the land of evil forever ...
Pyrokar	... but after the second temple fell, they simply disappeared.
Me	(mocking) Disappeared. An entire temple. Yeah, right.
Pyrokar	Do not mock me. The situation is serious. If the Halls of Irdorath have indeed regained their power, then it will not be easy to defeat the enemy.
Pyrokar	For that, you would have to find it first, and I think that this will be your next, and hardest, task.
Me	We shall see.
Me	Xardas' book which was believed to be lost - where is it?
Pyrokar	I have been expecting you would ask that. But I fear that it will be of no help to you.
Pyrokar	It has been magically sealed. I took it to one of our lower vaults, and even we have so far tried in vain to open it.
Pyrokar	That accursed Xardas has played a dirty trick on us.
Me	Can I see the book?
Pyrokar	Be my guest. I cannot imagine you being successful where the greatest masters of our monastery have failed.
Pyrokar	But go ahead and give it a try, Talamon is not going to stop you.
Me	I've been able to open Xardas' book.
Pyrokar	What? How did you do that? It well-nigh drove me to despair.
Me	Just dumb luck, I suppose.
Pyrokar	Don't talk nonsense. Luck!
Pyrokar	When not even I succeed in opening the book, and then someone like you comes waltzing in ...
Pyrokar	... that gives me something to ponder about.
Pyrokar	Anyway. Since you were obviously the only one who was able to open the book, then may it be granted unto you to carry it. At least until we have weathered this crisis.
Me	Xardas told me the trick.
Pyrokar	Ah, is that it. How interesting. I can only hope for you that Xardas' bad influence is not going to spoil you.
Pyrokar	I am warning you. Do not fall for the tricks of that old devil. You might come to regret it.
Me	The book mentions a secret library.
Pyrokar	Whatever are you talking about?
Me	A library beneath these walls here. Does that ring a bell?
Pyrokar	No. Where is that library supposed to be, did you say?
Me	I see. You have no idea. Mmh.
Me	I know where to find the Halls of Irdorath.
Me	The temple is on an island. I've found a nautical chart which shows the way.
Pyrokar	That is great. Then you will need a ship and a crew in order to face the enemy.
Pyrokar	But remember you need to be well prepared if you want to vanquish the Master of Irdorath.
Me	Where can I find a crew?
Pyrokar	Your crew should consist of men you can trust.
Pyrokar	Talk to your friends and think about who could be useful to you once you are on the island.
Pyrokar	You are going to need a magician as well. But alas, I cannot spare a single man from the monastery.
Pyrokar	You will have to ask a magician who is not working within the monastery.
Me	Jorgen is an experienced sailor. He could help me get to the Isle of Irdorath.
Pyrokar	That will not be so easy, I fear.
Pyrokar	He has signed on to work for the brotherhood. He has neither paid the tribute, nor brought us a sheep.
Pyrokar	Jorgen must finish his work first, then you can take him if you like.
Me	How long will it take?
Pyrokar	He used up the provisions which would have lasted a novice three weeks, and all on the first day.
Pyrokar	So I cannot let him go before he has worked hard in our gardens for three months.
Me	What do I have to do so I can take Jorgen with me NOW?
Pyrokar	Mmh. There is indeed one thing you could do for me. Your good rapport with Xardas could help you with that.
Pyrokar	It has come to my attention that, during these last few days, strange things have been going on in his tower.
Pyrokar	Many of the town people hear loud screams at night coming from there, and see strange lights dancing over his tower.
Pyrokar	As if we didn't have our plate full already. Go check what is going on there, and make it stop.
Pyrokar	Then you can have Jorgen.
Me	The thing with Xardas' tower has resolved itself.
Pyrokar	So what was going on ... no, wait, I do not even want to know.
Pyrokar	If you still want Jorgen, then go ahead and take him on your journey.
Pyrokar	May Innos protect you.
Me	The prophesy mentions the sacred Aura of Innos.
Pyrokar	The Aura of Innos is an amulet which only the greatest magicians of an era are destined to wear.
Me	Can I have it?
Pyrokar	What? What do you want to do with that?
Me	Go up against the dragon.
Pyrokar	Yes, of course. I shall give you the amulet, but handle it with care.
Me	Yeah, sure.
Pyrokar	I do not wish to have to buy it back from a merchant later.
Pyrokar	Use it well, and may Innos guard you at all times.
Me	What sort of amulet is that?
Pyrokar	They say that Innos himself forged it and gave it as a present to humankind.
Pyrokar	It protects the one who wears it from all kinds of damage.
Me	What are the Tears of Innos?
Pyrokar	The Tears of Innos are nothing but an old children's story. It tells of how the battle between Innos and Beliar started at the beginning of time.
Me	I see.
Pyrokar	I do not know whether you are fully aware of our situation, but I hardly believe that our enemy can be vanquished through an old children's tale.
Me	I found this potion.
Pyrokar	That cannot be. I cannot believe it.
Me	What's the matter?
Pyrokar	If these are really the genuine Tears of Innos, then ...
Me	(interrupts) Hardly.
Pyrokar	Do not interrupt me. If these are the real Tears of Innos, then we have a powerful weapon against the enemy.
Me	So what are the Tears of Innos?
Pyrokar	When Innos realized that he had to fight Beliar, his own brother, in order to preserve creation, his sorrow was great.
Pyrokar	He started to weep, and his tears fell down onto the world. There were many of them, for his heart was so full of grief that he wept for 13 years.
Me	Get to the point.
Pyrokar	The people who found his tears and tasted them were filled with supernatural strength and clarity. They recognized the wisdom of Innos' creation and began to serve him.
Pyrokar	They were the first members of the Community of the Fire. The tears gave them strength, courage and wisdom. But that is all very long ago, and it has been more than 250 years since anyone last set eyes on a Tear of Innos.
Me	What do you mean by 'weapon'?
Pyrokar	Legend has it that, under the influence of this substance, the warriors of Innos were able to perform almost superhuman deeds.
Pyrokar	They were immune to all kinds of exhaustion and had the strength of two bears.
Pyrokar	The greatest heroic feats of the olden days were only made possible by the Tears of Innos.
Me	I understand.
Pyrokar	But the tears can bring suffering and death as well. Only the members of our order may drink this draught.
Pyrokar	Anyone else - even the paladins of our Lord - would face a cruel death.
