King Jalis Ironhammer

From Guild Wars Wiki

King Jalis Ironhammer
Affiliation	Deldrimor
Type	Dwarf
Profession	Warrior
Level(s)	20, 24
Campaigns	Prophecies Eye of the North

Patient, thoughtful, and wise—all are attributes commonly ascribed to King Jalis Ironhammer, except by the rebellious Stone Summit Dwarves, of course. When Ascalonian refugees sought passage through the Shiverpeaks, King Jalis recognized the advantages of helping potential allies during their time of despair. This wise decision was more than repaid when the adventurers he had aided returned and helped defeat the leaders of the Stone Summit Dwarves, restoring order to the Shiverpeaks.

Once the immediate threat of civil war was gone, King Jalis turned to rebuilding Deldrimor society. But the discovery of the Tome of Rubicon has pointed the Dwarves toward a new destiny—one that will test the mettle of this great king as he attempts to lead his people through the greatest trial the Dwarves have ever faced.

[edit] Battledepths

"It is good to see you! Our plans against the Destroyers proceed apace."

[edit] Wintersday

"It is good to see you again, <character name>. Happy Wintersday to you. This pipe? It is a little garish, I agree, but it's not made out of corncob like you'd think! It is actually made of the bones of the horned frost giant Gornash! When you've got the time, I'll have to tell you that tale. It's a good one."

[edit] Droknar's Forge (explorable area)

Thanks to your heroism, Vizier Khilbron, the Lich Lord, no longer threatens Tyria, and my brother did not give his life in vain. Your amazing deeds have secured your place in history as one of the paramount heroes of the world. All of Tyria owes you a debt of gratitude, but we Deldrimor Dwarves owe you an even greater debtt[sic]. Your aid in our conflict against the Stone Summit helped me regain my seat in Thunderhead Keep. For that we are forever allies. Accompanying me today are the finest Deldrimor weaponsmiths. As a show of our eternal friendship, I offer you this Deldrimor Talisman, which allows you to claim a weapon of your choice. Fight with honor, my friend.

Thank you, King Jalis. It was my honor to fight beside you. (before receiving the Deldrimor Talisman)

Your kind words and your friendship are all the reward I require. (before receiving the Deldrimor Talisman)

End conversation: "I'll be on my way."

[edit] Notes

• Often appears under shorter forms of his name.
• The option to decline the talisman is not working; it will simply do the same as the cancel option below it.

• King Jalis's voice actor in Guild Wars: Eye of the North is Paul Eiding who is familiar, for example, from Diablo series (the narrator, Mephisto) and from the Metal Gear Solid -series (Colonel Campbell) as well as from many other video game titles.
