Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Deras Tenderlin

Sunspear! I have a great favor to ask of you. Our home has suffered relentless attacks from vicious hordes of undead, and I have been sent to recruit any who can help us defeat this foe. The Sunspears are renowned across the world for their bravery, skill in battle, and selfless nature. I beg of you to consider leaving Elona to help us in our time of need. Mhenlo, another emissary from the lands to the north, can further apprise you of the situation if you're willing to help us. He is at the Consulate Docks.

 Accept: "I'll go speak to Mhenlo at the Consulate Docks."

 Decline: "I'm a bit busy at the moment with matters important to the Sunspears."

 Ask: "Speak to Mhenlo at the Consulate Docks to learn more about the situation transpiring in Tyria."

Intermediate dialogue

Mhenlo

I have much to tell you about the situation in the distant kingdom of Ascalon...my home. Ascalon, in the lands of Tyria, was once a thriving kingdom...until the day the armies of the Charr attacked.

On that horrible day, they invoked a fearsome magic that destroyed Ascalon City and left most of the kingdom in ruins...an event we called the Searing. While some people remained in Ascalon with King Adelbern to defend the kingdom against the Charr, many more joined his son, Prince Rurik."

Tell me more about the situation in Tyria.

Rurik left our homeland and crossed the treacherous Shiverpeak Mountains, home of the Dwarves, to reach the lands of Kryta. Although he did not survive the journey, Rurik's courage and sacrifice enabled our people to find a new home near Lion's Arch. However, a new danger has arisen that now threatens all of Kryta, including the Ascalon refugees.

Soon I shall return home to answer the call and deal with that threat. Once you have completed your tasks here in Elona and are ready to help me and the people of Tyria, let me know.

I wish to travel to Tyria.

If you have completed your business here in Elona and are ready to travel to Tyria, I have a ship prepared to carry us there immediately. Are you ready to travel to Tyria?

Yes. (sent to Lion's Arch (cinematic))

No.

Lionguard Neiro

Greetings, <character name>. Mhenlo told me of your arrival. I am happy to see you have made it safely to Kryta. Our lands are in dire need of heroes willing to face these undead hordes. If you're half as good as Mhenlo claims, your efforts will be most welcome, indeed.

In addition to the undead threat, I should apprise you of another situation.

Tell me more about this new situation in Kryta.

For as long as Lion's Arch has existed, it has been the duty of the Lionguard to defend the city and the people of Kryta. Recently, a new group, a religious cult known as the White Mantle, has gained power in our lands...some say too much power.

Worse, the royal family has gone missing, and the White Mantle has assumed leadership over Kryta. As of now, the Lionguard still controls the city, but the countryside beyond Lion's Arch is now held and protected by the White Mantle.

Tell me more about the White Mantle.

So far they seem to be doing a good job of protecting the countryside. But I've learned to be wary of those who seek to change old ways, and these White Mantle claim to have discovered a whole new pantheon of unseen gods.... What could be a bigger change than new gods?

I suggest you work with them to try and stop this undead threat, but keep one eye on them at the same time. They seem a little too good to be true, if you take my meaning.

Reward dialogue

Firstwatch Sergio

Welcome to Lion's Arch. I am Firstwatch Sergio, commander of the Lionguard. I believe you have arrived just in time. The massive undead siege continues unabated. The White Mantle claim they can protect the people, but honestly...I fear they will protect only their own interests. A hero like you could do much to help the simple folk of our lands from the threat of the undead. In return for your efforts, I will grant you full traveling privileges within the city and beyond.

Notes

• This quest unlocks Lions Arch port (once you have walked through the portal from Lion's Gate).
• A Nightfall character with this quest can ferry characters of any level (from any Campaign) to Tyria, provided that they have Consulate Docks unlocked (i.e. by either having completed The Time is Nigh themselves, or having previously received a ferry to the docks from Kamadan via that quest).
• Should your whole party die in the Lion's Gate area (e.g. via Vampiric weapon, etc), you will receive a "your party has been defeated" dialog and then be returned to Kamadan, Jewel of Istan.
• If a Guild Wars Nightfall character has used a ferry to get to the Consulate Docks early, they will still be able to obtain and use this quest later, after having completed The Time is Nigh.
• See Campaign travel and Ferry for additional information.
