Dialogue
Toma Dialogue
Hold. I see you've finally arrived.
You who will face the witch's trial. I've been expecting you.
There are procedures regarding Wind Nol!

For 3 days, you are to pay respects to Nol,
For 7 days, you are to bathe with his companions,
and only those who pass the Chantus Exam within 15 days
are allowed to face the witch's trial. These are the rules.
When the rules need to be followed, then they will be followed.
Ever since the day of the explosion...
the hawks, Nol's winged companions,
can no longer cross the Mountain of Eternal Winter.
Swept away by the dark blizzard, they are either
unable to find their way back or are maimed and perish.
The trials left by the six witches were
definitely prepared for times like this.
This is a man who speaks my language.

You'll knock the companions off their perches making a racket like that.
Come inside, you who is to undergo Marsh's trial.
Toma Dialogue (Alt)
...
Let's go inside to see Bayan.
Bayan Completion
On the day of the explosion in the Sherekhan Iron Mines...
Shaman Invich NPC Knowledge dreamed for the first time in many moons.
Incomprehensible screams of the six witches said
the long-departed flame must be returned to the mountain...
When we asked what it meant, he said,
"Just because it has never been seen, does not mean it does not exist."
