The Source of Orr:
Commander: Is there enough life left in Orr to power the ritual?
Trahearne: The heartbeat of the land is weak and thready, but I can hear it. When we reach the source...only then will we know.
[Sylvari thing, I guess. Or a magic sensing thing?]
Trahearne: Here, at the end, I am glad that it's just you and me. We will cleanse Orr together—as we were meant to do.
Trahearne: It has been a part of me since I took my first steps, but now my Wyld Hunt is complete.
Trahearne: It's time I redefine myself.
Trahearne: A rare and unique challenge...but I have the Pact to keep me busy. Thank you, for all you've done.
[With Wyld Hunt complete and no Pact to lead, redefining himself, again, will be a struggle. As with all valiants, there's serious personhood issues here. He's never been without a task or not been some kind of authority figure as Firstborn to Pact Marshal.]
Trahearne: The corruption is gone from this chamber. It will take time to spread throughout Orr...assuming we can destroy the dragon.
Commander: Your Wyld Hunt is over, Trahearne. Congratulations.
Trahearne: Thank you. I never thought it could be done. This day will live in the Dream forever!
[Just more on his Hunt seeming to be hopeless, right up to the end.]
Sayeh al' Rajihd: We meet again, Commander. If I didn't know better, I might think you were the hunter and I the prey.
Commander: Actually, I'm looking for Trahearne.
Sayeh al' Rajihd: The Marshal is also a solitary creature. He avoids the attention of others, but not mine. You'll find him near the airship docks.
Commander: Thank you, Sayeh. May your steps be relentless.
[Reclusive. No surprises, being a loner and duskbloom.]
Trahearne: Hear that cheering, Commander? Savor it. Today, the Pact has triumphed...and my Wyld Hunt is finally at an end. Praise the Pale Tree!
Trahearne: I fear you still have great and terrible things to do. To kill Zhaitan...not long ago, I would have thought it impossible.
Commander: Cleansing Orr seemed "impossible," but we did it. With allies like ours, ridding the world of Zhaitan will be tough, but not impossible.
Trahearne: Well said. And you can rely on those allies to stand by you to the very end. My Wyld Hunt may be over, but the coalition that we've built will fight on.
Trahearne: I hereby pledge the entire Pact and all its resources to your task. By the Mother Tree and all who have made the ultimate sacrifice, Zhaitan will fall.
Commander: Thank you, Marshal. When Zhaitan falls, we'll all be there to see it. Then the celebration can truly begin.
Trahearne: This is a great day, a joyous day...but I am still troubled. To achieve such a victory, with so much yet to be done...
Commander: Put your burden down for a moment and let the Pact cheer its Marshal.
Trahearne: You're right. Victory does not end a general's responsibility to his soldiers. I shall join the celebration.
Commander: Excellent. I think I'll join you.
and/or
Commander: You should be overjoyed. Your Wyld Hunt is complete.
Trahearne: Yes, but I find myself left with an even bigger, more daunting task: shepherding the Pact through five impossible victories over the Elder Dragons themselves.
Commander: Not impossible, Marshal. And we're going to prove it.
and/or
Commander: You're not alone, Marshal. I'll be with you every step of the way.
[Impossible Wyld Hunt still not as daunting as leading the Pact.]
Temple of the Forgotten God:
If fear was Letting an innocent die:
Trahearne: I wanted to talk about Tonn's widow, Ceera. I understand she was inconsolable.
Trahearne: Grief does terrible things to people. But this is war, and war manufactures grief.
Trahearne: Tonn joined the Pact with open eyes. He chose a dangerous profession. He knew the risks, and accepted them.
Trahearne: Ceera may never forgive you...or me, but in time she will see: Tonn's sacrifice helped save thousands, maybe millions, of lives.
Trahearne: He chose to die a hero. And the heroes of this war will be remembered and honored forever.
[Probably receives a lot of blame for Pact deaths.]
If fear was Dishonor my allies:
Trahearne: Commander? I want to follow up with you about the Syska incident.
Trahearne: I've made my share of mistakes, even without mesmer trickery. Some things cannot be undone...but they can be mitigated.
Trahearne: Warmaster Caisson has been fully briefed, and her entire unit is aware of how you were all misled.
Trahearne: That won't bring back their comrades, but knowing the truly guilty party was punished does soften the blow.
If fear was Making another suffer:
Trahearne: May I have a word, Commander? I know you think you failed Apatia, but I've experienced that kind of failure, and this isn't it.
Trahearne: Every decision I make as Marshal of the Pact means people die. That's the burden I've been called to carry.
Trahearne: Apatia was a norn, and we gave her a proper norn send-off. She lived and died a hero, and now her legend goes on.
Trahearne: So must we, Apatia gave her life to defeat Zhaitan. The best way to honor her is to see that task completed.
[He's lost friends to personal mistakes before the Pact.]
