Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Castellan Puuba

Nightfall characters:

"We have the aid of the wind and water, the blessings of the original Sunspear Guard, a fresh batch of newly-minted Sunspears, and the assistance of heroes from across the sea. Kormir is mustering forces at Churrhir Fields. Once you reach the rank of Sunspear Captain or gain sufficient experience [Level 17], help her rally the troops. Indeed, the time for action is nigh."

Prophecies and Factions characters:

"I must say, your reputation proceeds you, foreigner! I heard it said that you had quite a commanding presence, and I can see those weren't merely rumors. We will need your seasoned leadership for the upcoming assault on Varesh Ossa's fortress of Gandara. Kormir is mustering forces at Churrhir Fields. Help her rally the troops. Indeed, the time for action is nigh."

 Accept: "I'm on my way."

 Decline: "The time for action is later."

 Ask: "Churrhir Fields is just south of town. Meet Kormir and rally the troops."

Intermediate dialogue

Kormir: "We are standing at the precipice...on the brink of war."

Kormir: "It is a conflict we must start. It is a war we will finish."

Kormir: "We are the light that will shatter the coming darkness."

Kormir: "In the darkness of combat, with the demons of war surrounding you, remember our creed..."

Kormir: "A Sunspear never fights alone."

Kormir

<Character name>, I must say this is the greatest collection of heroes I have ever seen. Today we make history.

Please return to Kamadan and arrange an audience with Elder Suhl. Everything must be made ready for the assault. Speak with his assistant to set up the meeting. I shall be there presently.

Assistant Hahnna

Despite his concerns, Elder Suhl has been preparing diligently since Kormir left. I trust that you're doing all you can to tip the odds in our favor. For that we are thankful.

The Sunspears have rallied for battle. We must inform Elder Suhl of our intentions.

Very well. Prepare yourselves. Elder Suhl does not want Elona plunged into a civil war.

We are ready. (sent to The Time is Nigh (cinematic))

We are not ready yet.

Reward dialogue

Raidmarshall Mehdara

We have ships and we have men; we have the will and the means. Nothing can stop Kormir once she puts her mind to it. She would fight Balthazar himself if she thought the cause to be right and virtuous. Something tells me she is looking for just that kind of altercation with Varesh. Take this, you'll need it.

Notes

• This quest is sometimes used to ferry people to Consulate Docks, to help low-level characters get access to max armor and other campaigns.
