Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Mad King's Steward

"There is nothing more I can do. Once Mad King Thorn has appeared in this world each Autumn, his power over the mortal realm begins to fade and he must return to his Mad Realm. As the Mad King's steward, I must return with my lord to make him pie and groom his invisible pony. Now all of Tyria must face the return of Dhuum. If you wish to hold back the coming night, seek out the Voice of Grenth and offer your assistance."

 Accept: "It will be done. I shall speak with the Voice of Grenth."

 Decline: "I've had my fill of the Underworld, thank you."

 Ask: "Go offer the Voice of Grenth your assistance."
