Priest of Balthazar (Wintersday)

“

"All of this merriment is really starting to get to me. Humanity is doomed if we insist on spending our time with such foolish festivities rather than preparing for the inevitable darkness on the horizon. That is why the Priests of Balthazar have agreed to ally with the Priests of Grenth this year, and by Balthazar's beard, we're not going to lose to a bunch of Monks and Oakheart-huggers! We have the combined might of the God of War and the God of Death. War! Death! How could anyone be foolish enough to face us in battle?"

"We have met with the enemy dignitaries and have agreed on the site for a grand battle of the gods. We shall use this battle to show our great superiority and convince the doubters to embrace the season of death once and for all."

"You must choose who you wish to support in this conflict. If you wish to pledge your allegiance to Grenth and Balthazar, speak with the Champion of Balthazar. Should you wish to die in futility ... and serve Dwayna and Melandru, speak with Melandru's Watcher."

Dialogue

"Many mortals already joined the Great Snowball Fight of the Gods! If you wish to battle against fellow mortals, I can send you to the battle now. If you're too puny to battle fellow humans, speak with the Priestess of Melandru and I'm sure she has use for you."

I'm ready for the battle, send me to the front!

I'm not ready for this sort of pressure!
