Me	Did you expect THIS here?
Riordian	Not at all. I am awestruck at how large the city must have been.
Riordian	Most of the buildings are buried under stone and earth, but the ruins that have survived the ages are spread all over the land.
Riordian	There must have been thousands living here.
Me	What will I find out there?
Riordian	In the east, there is a large fortress in a gigantic swamp.
Riordian	As far as we can judge from here, the bandits have taken refuge there.
Riordian	If I were you, I wouldn't go down there. They have set up many outposts and guards.
Riordian	You had better avoid the swamp until you have more experience, or find a way to go around the bandits.
Riordian	In the west we have discovered some pirates.
Riordian	I'm not sure, but I believe they have also discovered us.
Riordian	They don't seem too perturbed by our presence, though.
Me	Tell me more about the area.
Riordian	What do you want to know?
Me	Is there a map of this area?
Riordian	Cronos has made one. He will surely let you have it.
Me	Where were the bandits again?
Riordian	They have a sort of fortress with many outposts in the east.
Riordian	To get to them you will have to cross the large swamp.
Me	Where did you see the pirates?
Riordian	They were running around not far to the west of here.
Riordian	I think they were hunting.
Me	What is in the north?
Riordian	If the records of the builders are to be believed, then you will find a large valley encircled by cliffs.
Riordian	Drought and desert sand dominate the landscape there.
Me	What will I find I go to the south?
Riordian	The land in the south is very rugged.
Riordian	You will find serpentine paths, waterfalls and ruins carved out of the rock there.
Me	What was in the east again?
Riordian	The great swamp. The area is very dangerous.
Riordian	Not only are the bandits lurking there, but also extremely dangerous animals.
Riordian	You should be careful.
Me	Were you ever in the west?
Riordian	No. But the coast must be there somewhere.
Riordian	That's probably where the pirates have their camp.
Riordian	To the east, not far from here, we found the body of a fisherman.
Riordian	You should take a look at it.
Me	Saturas sent me. I'm supposed to search through the five mansions of Jharkendar.
Riordian	It took me a long time to find the location of the mansions in the writings of the builders.
Riordian	But now I can tell you exactly.
Riordian	The house of the scholars is a large library. It must be somewhere far to the north.
Riordian	The house of the warriors was a fortress ringed by rocks in the east.
Riordian	The priests and guardians of the dead had their dwellings near each other. You should find them in the southwest.
Riordian	And the healers had their house of convalescence in the southeast.
Riordian	If these houses are still standing, then you will recognize them from their method of construction.
Riordian	They are elevated. A steep stairway leads to the entrance covered by high columns.
Riordian	I hope that helps you.
Me	Where do I find the 5 mansions?
Me	Eh, about the mansions...
Riordian	Yes?
Me	The orcs seem to be interested in the library of the scholars.
Riordian	Do you think they can read the ancient language?
Me	I don't think so, but who knows.
Riordian	Perhaps you should make sure that they go away, nevertheless.
Me	The house of the healers is in the middle of the swampy area and is defended by many stone sentinels.
Riordian	So it is still standing?
Me	Yes, but I wonder for how much longer...
Riordian	It pains my soul to see the witnesses of the past in this dilapidated condition.
Me	The mansion of the warriors is being used by Raven as a hide-out.
Riordian	(cynically) He made a good choice.
Riordian	It is probably the most secure fortress still to be found in this region.
Me	There were a lot of minecrawlers in the house of the priests...
Riordian	Aren't these animals very uncommon for the area?
Me	They certainly are.
Riordian	By Adanos. Curious things are happening in this area.
Me	The house of the guardians of the dead is dominated by the power of Evil.
Me	I think I have rarely seen so many zombies in one place.
Riordian	That is unfortunate. The guardians of the dead were obviously the victims of their special skills.
Riordian	Their connection to the world of the dead damaged them greatly. I hope you were able to free them from their suffering.
Me	Tell me again where each one is located.
Me	The orcs will soon lose interest in this area.
Riordian	What makes you say that?
Me	I killed their leader.
Me	Their leader is dead.
Riordian	Let's just hope you are right.
Riordian	We really don't need disturbances of that sort right now.
Me	I found all of the mansions.
Riordian	Were they all where I said they would be?
Me	More or less.
Riordian	Very good. Then my work WAS worth it.
Riordian	Thank you.
Me	Can you teach me your skills?
Riordian	I can instruct you in the art of alchemy.
Riordian	And I can show you how to teach your will-o'-the-wisp to search for objects.
Me	Teach me the art of brewing potions.
Riordian	Magical potions are brewed on an alchemist's bench. We have one up here in our dwelling.
Riordian	You need an empty laboratory flask, the necessary ingredients and the knowledge of how the potion is created.
Riordian	You can get that knowledge from me. The other things you will have to find for yourself.
Riordian	What do you want to brew?
Riordian	I can't show you anything else that you don't already know.
