Golden Sun: Dark Dawn/Side Scripts/Ayuthay
From Golden Sun Universe
These pages compile almost all incidental NPC dialogue, both spoken and accessed with Spirit Sense, that exist separately from the "main cutscenes" in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. This can be used as a reference to more easily look up all optional gossip at each settlement in the game without painstakingly talking to each NPC and casting the Spirit Sense Psynergy on them. Some technically optional dialogue the player is very likely to read is omitted. All text in italics is conveyed through Spirit Sense.

Ayuthay (surface-level)
Left soldier (after showing Wo's Letter) Generals Ku-Tsung and Ku-Embra are in the temple across the pond. Your letter says to report to them.
Right soldier (after showing Wo's Letter) Give your letter to the generals when you see them. But don't waste their time, whatever you do!
Southwest soldier If you've come to enjoy a good war, you're going to be disappointed... The Ayuthay are nowhere to be found! So we're just standing around, waiting for additional orders! [If shown Wo's Letter] You've got a communication from the palace? That's too important for my eyes!
South solder to the right Most soldiers are Kaocho farmers, since real warriors are pretty rare... So I'm glad we haven't battled yet. Maybe more orders will arrive soon. But hopefully not. [If shown Wo's Letter] You've got a letter from King Wo! Show that to the main guards, then deliver it to the generals!
Far east soldier Are you from Ayuthay? [Yes] I don't really care either way, but you can't enter right now. In fact, you might be at risk staying here. We're awaiting more orders for our siege of Ayuthay. [No] That doesn't surprise me. When the army arrived, no one from Ayuthay was here! As if a magician made them all vanish! Maybe more orders will arrive soon and give us something to do. [If shown Wo's Letter] A communication from the palace? Yikes—that's not for MY eyes!
Soldier near raft Trying to get across the pond? There's no raftsman here to paddle you to the other side. Maybe you can wait for a strong wind to blow you over. That, or the hot air from one of King Wo's proclamations. [If shown Wo's Letter] Oh, you have a letter from the king? Seriously, you need to get that to the generals on the other side!
Lower left soldier near palace steps Many of my fellow soldiers think the Ayuthay fled their city when we invaded. But I'm not so sure... I have the feeling that we're being watched. So I wonder what further orders from Kaocho will say. [If shown Wo's Letter] A letter from King Wo? I wonder if he knows what's truly going on here...
Lower right soldier near palace steps The Ayuthay people ran scared. They abandoned their city. Now we await new orders from Kaocho! [If shown Wo's Letter] You've got a secret strategy for our attack on Ayuthay in that letter, don't you? Get it to the generals!
Soldier at upper-left corner of pond I don't mind conquering a country for King Wo. But some of the orders he sends make him sound like a bully. [If shown Wo's Letter] You've got a big-deal letter from Kaocho Palace? Then you must be a big deal too!
Right soldier at palace entrance I overheard the generals inside talking about problems with their plans to take over Ayuthay. They're in a nasty mood, waiting for letters from King Wo.
Left soldier inside palace entrance Quickly now! Show General Ku-Tsung your letter!
Ku-Embra Why are you wasting my time when General Ku-Tsung asked for that letter? [If shown Wo's Letter] Can't you follow orders?! General Ku-Tsung said that HE wants to read that!
Ku-Tsung You've got a letter from King Wo? Give it to me! [If shown Wo's Letter] [Cutscene begins]
Inspect stone gate Looks like a stone gate—but there's no possible way through here.
Left soldier at palace door (after giving letter to generals) No doubt... There are some cr-cr-creepy spirits around here. Get rid of them...please!
Right soldier at palace door (after giving letter to generals) Our generals went off somewhere. They said they'll return when the evils that plague this place are gone.
Stone tree The stone face upon this ancient tree has its eyes closed, as if waiting to be woken up. [If Tree Flute is used] [Cutscene begins]
Ayuthay (initial visit of main portion)
Girl in starting room If Ku-Tsung and Ku-Embra are tough generals, why are they so scared of spirits anyway?
Left boy in starting room The ladders in here go to secret chambers! It's so fun to hide in them and play!
Right boy in starting room The Kaocho army is camped in the city. They're sort of just hanging around. I hope they give up and go home.
Left guard in starting room They say that Adepts are descendants of the Jenei. But who can say for sure?
Right guard in starting room The Kaocho soldiers don't scare us! Once old King Paithos gives the word... we'll send them packing!
Karis (if you diverge from where Amiti leads you at different points) Really, we ought to stay close behind Amiti. We really should follow Amiti, don't you think? We really should keep up with Amiti.
Minister outside throne room We have reports that the Kaocho generals have already realized you're missing.
Paithos Don't concern yourselves with those ridiculous Kaocho generals. We'll keep an eye on them. Just drain Barai Pond, then recover the Insight Glass hidden within the temple.
Upper-left handmaiden King Paithos has been waiting for the coming of the Adepts for a long time. I'm sure he is happy you've finally arrived.
Upper-right handmaiden King Paithos embodies Ayuthay's unwavering spirit. How it must weigh on him to never show doubt.
Lower-right handmaiden So is it true that our little lord Amiti will be accompanying you? [Yes] He means the world to us, you know. If he suffers so much as one scratch, we will never forgive you. [No] Perhaps you are pondering it. He would be a great guide for the Temple of Barai.
Left man in throne room Since our king has put his faith in you, I imagine that he has now... confessed everything? [Yes] Ah, but I can tell for myself. Our Amiti always looks so radiant, but now shadows darken his face. No doubt he now knows the truth of his birth. Perhaps this was not the best time, but now is better than never. [No] Hmm. That is unfortunate. The truth about Amiti's mother, Veriti, must finally be told. I was shocked when I learned that Amiti wasn't really conceived through special powers.
Lower-right minister in throne room I can't believe that the Alchemy Well is capable of providing water to far more than just the Ayuthay area! So if restoring the Alchemy Forge in Passaj can make that happen, I'm sure we'll do anything to help.
Chef in upper-left storage room Psynergy has been all around us as long as I can remember. That's not long, I guess. But older people remember a time when Psynergy was rare. They say life was so difficult then!
Man in upper-left storage room The water from our Alchemy Well is nice and cool. We use it to keep food from spoiling!
Soldier in upper-right room When we heard that Kaocho failed in its assault on Passaj, we weren't nearly as worried. Still, Ku-Tsung and Ku-Embra will never give up. We can't turn our backs on the generals.
Soldier in upper-left of bending center hall Were your ancestors really the ancient Jenei? [Yes] I wish I'd inherited such power. I just hope you always commit yourself to doing good. [No] Oh, but it must be so! You carry yourselves in such a refined way. Surely you have a Jenei pedigree!
Soldier in lower-right of bending center hall We grow up learning that the people of Ayuthay and Passaj all have ancient roots. The people of Kaocho must have their own roots. So why do they want to take over our countries?
Left guard in top exit behind stone gate This exit leads out of Ayuthay. Those who want to come and go must get permission.
Right guard in top exit behind stone gate Any who wish to leave Ayuthay must first get leave from King Paithos.
Left soldier at jail I don't know why we even guard this place. It's not like Ayuthay has any criminals!
Right soldier at jail Maybe our jail will finally get some use, given all those Kaocho soldiers milling around outside.
Woman at northwest stairs of main area Is your name Matthew? [Yes] I've heard that the Kaocho generals are looking for you! [No] No? Well, I don't know who this Matthew person is, but the Kaocho generals want to see him!
Old woman left of Alchemy Well Paithos once told my husband that the Barai pond waters can be drained! But how could anyone do that?
Man in green outside inn Amiti used to keep the Luna Mask, because it's said only Adepts could use it. Paithos possesses some Psynergy, but I guess it's not enough. So Amiti must be powerful!
Woman southwest of fountain Since ancient times, our people have hidden down here when calamity comes to Ayuthay. Fortunately, it's such a lovely shelter that we don't mind going about our lives underground.
Southwest boy in main area I wish we could go down there! Do you Adepts know any way to mop up a whole pond?
Old man right of Alchemy Well Paithos predicted you Adepts would come. Do you think his other predictions will come to pass? [Yes] Ah, then the waters of the pond WILL be drained by the Alchemy Well! How wonderful! Then I can gaze upon the glorious Temple of Barai with my own eyes once more! [No] Hmm, too bad. The king's ideas usually bear such ripe fruit.
Man at northeast stairs of main area If you want to leave Ayuthay, head up one floor, then find the room at the south end with the ladder! But the guards at the top of that ladder won't let anyone in or out unless they have permission.
Southeast boy in main area If all this water went away, I bet we'd find secret paths! Then we could really make mischief!
Soldier near innkeeper I've heard you came to Ayuthay by way of Passaj and Kaocho! What world travelers you are!
Soldier near beds Are you all warriors seeking to hone your skills here in Ayuthay? [Yes] You have the auras of true warriors. I bet you've been practicing since you were very young! [No] Well that can't be... You have the auras of warriors! I'm sure you're on the warrior's path but don't know it.
Man with purple headband near stoneworks entrance Our ancestors, the Exathi, were remarkably skilled at working with stone. The Exathi made so many masterpieces! We're still pretty good today, of course.
Lower-right stonesmith After the Golden Sun event 30 years ago, the Ayuthay have grown gradually richer! Stonecutters like us are now in great demand wherever we go!
Upper-right stonesmith Our people have always been skilled at stonework. In ancient times, we were true masters. Even the Jenei came our way!
Lower-left stonesmith The things we were never taught, we just make up on the fly. That's what true genius is!
Upper-left stonesmith I wonder who the better craftsmen are, the stoneworkers of Ayuthay or the smiths of Passaj?
Tablet in Alchemy Well WHEN THE FACE GAZES UPON AN EMPTY VESSEL, THE GREAT FLOW SHALL BE REVERSED.
Inspect Luna Mask The Luna Mask has been installed here.
Sign near Sand Prince's resting place Here sleeps the Sand Prince. Beware the royal guardian if you cannot prove yourself in battle.
Tablet near Sand Prince's resting place WHEN THE MUSIC OF THE TREES BLOWS THROUGH, THE FIERCE PRINCE SHALL AWAKEN.
Ayuthay (after Alchemy Well is reversed)
Chef in upper-left storage room Our younger generation doesn't know of a time when Psynergy wasn't around! You too, right? But if you ask older people, they say it was hard to do anything back then. No one wants a return to the old days!
Man in upper-left storage room The water vanished all of a sudden! But if we don't cool our food, it will all rot!
Woman at northwest stairs of main area The Kaocho soldiers are worried about the pond water disappearing. Not very gutsy, are they?
Old woman left of Alchemy Well The water in the Barai pond has been drawn down! I've never seen the level so low before. If the water doesn't return, Ayuthay might be in serious trouble... What will people drink?!
Man in green outside inn The Barai pond waters have receded! Shocking, I tell you!
Woman southwest of fountain Everything started shaking, and then I heard a rushing sound! I think it came from the Barai pond!
Southwest boy in main area Now that the water has gone away, you can get into that passage down there!
Old man right of Alchemy Well You reversed the Alchemy Well and made the water go down? What a wonderful machine! At long last, I can finally visit the Temple of Barai!
Man at northeast stairs of main area Some Kaocho soldiers saw that the water in the Barai pond went away, so they went to check it out!
Southeast boy in main area Look down there! With all the water gone, a passage was revealed! I wonder where it leads!
Soldier near innkeeper You're the people who let the water out of the pond! Now you're going to the Temple of Barai? What adventure!
Soldier near beds Are you planning to visit the Temple of Barai? [Yes] Treasure hunters say that the temple was picked over long ago. But you Adepts might find something! [No] Well, why not? I hope to go sometime, now that the water has receded!
Man with purple headband near stoneworks entrance Our ancestors, the Exathi, had a masterful knack for stonework. Everything they made was a stunning triumph!
Lower-right stonesmith After the Golden Sun dawned 30 years ago, Ayuthay began to change, becoming ever richer. We stonecutters are in high demand. Everyone wants us to make sturdy, lasting testaments to our glory!
Upper-right stonesmith Our people have always been gifted stoneworkers. In ancient times, even the Jenei came to Ayuthay for our skills!
Lower-left stonesmith What we're not taught, we figure out on the fly. That's what makes us true geniuses of our craft!
Upper-left stonesmith I wonder who'd win a craftsman duel...the Ayuthay stoneworkers or the smiths of Passaj?
Ayuthay (Alchemy Well made normal again)
Man in upper-left storage room The changes in the water level might put our food at risk! The water keeps it from spoiling!
Woman at northwest stairs of main area The water in the pond was gone one moment, back the next! How can water be so jumpy?
Old woman left of Alchemy Well The Barai pond is now full, but its waters were drained so easily that I bet it could be done again.
Man in green outside inn I'm relieved the Barai pond has been filled. One can never overestimate the value of water.
Woman southwest of fountain Just when I get used to the water being OUT of the pond, you go and put it back IN. Make up your mind!
Southwest boy in main area Did you put the water back in the pond? There was a nice path and everything down there!
Old man right of Alchemy Well I'm so happy I was able to pass through and see the Temple of Barai, if only for a while. Perhaps the waters will recede again so I can return to the temple!
Man at northeast stairs of main area Did you hear that sound just a little while ago...? It was the water rushing out of the pond! And the sound after that must have been the water rushing back in!
Southeast boy in main area We saw the path down there! And we were thinking of finding out where it went...when the water returned!
Soldier near innkeeper There must be a good reason why you put the water back in the barai pond. I hope you tell me why someday!
Soldier near beds Was there something valuable in the Temple of Barai? [Yes] Well, only Adepts as skillful as you could have found anything in there after so many long years! [No] Nothing, really? I guess that doesn't surprise me, since treasure hunters cleaned out the temple years ago.
Ayuthay (after completing Barai Temple)
Open chest in Barai Temple The party looks into the chest... and finds nothing more than a letter. Would you like to read it? [Yes] Matthew reads the letter. You have done well to delve this deep, Adepts. Yet what you seek is not here. You must probe further, until you find the true depths of the temple.
Tablet in Barai Temple WHEN WATER POURS INTO THE POOL, THE PATH TO AN ANCIENT RELIC SHALL OPEN UPON ITS SURFACE.
Minister outside throne room The Insight Glass is our greatest secret, so I was relieved to hear that Amiti was entrusted with it. Now I won't have to worry that some stranger will steal its power.
Paithos How it pains me to see Amiti leave Ayuthay. But restoring our ancient civilization is important. Ayuthay has lost its brightest light, but the world will surely brighten from his presence.
Upper-left handmaiden King Paithos doesn't wish to see our little lord Amiti depart. How heavy it must weigh on his heart.
Upper-right handmaiden With little lord Amiti leaving, the king will have no one with whom he can open his heart.
Lower-right handmaiden Why are you taking our little lord Amiti? Oh, the maidens of Ayuthay will weep bitterly!
Left man in throne room Amiti is as precious to me as my own children. I cannot bear to say good-bye.
Lower-right minister in throne room I always thought the Alchemy Well had only one function, but now we see what else it does. Just remember that our people will suffer if they go without water. Never reverse the well for too long.
Chef in upper-left storage room I heard you were leaving. I'd get out of here too, if I could cook up some Psynergy!
Soldier in upper-right room Now that your quest in Ayuthay is done, will you ever use the Alchemy Well again? [Yes] Good! Because I'd like to take the paths that appear only when the water level is down! [No] No? But you're the only ones who can make the waters recede!
Soldier in upper-left of bending center hall The Temple of Barai was a big maze? And you heroes made it through? I'm honored to know you!
Soldier in lower-right of bending center hall I heard you're leaving Ayuthay. Is that true? [Yes] I wish I'd gotten to know you better! Good-bye, descendants of the Jenei! [No] Oh, then we'll still be seeing you here a little longer!
Woman at northwest stairs of main area Why is Amiti leaving us? It's not fair. I'd like to go too!
Old woman left of Alchemy Well I've heard Amiti is leaving us. All the girls of our country will be very sad. As will we all, of course!
Man in green outside inn So you used the Alchemy Well to lower the water? Then you visited the temple? I wish you had taken me!
Woman southwest of fountain How long will the Kaocho invaders occupy our land? I wish you could make them all go away.
Southwest boy in main area It's been a world of fun for us since you showed up! Sure you have to go?
Old man right of Alchemy Well I hear you're leaving Ayuthay. You must be fond of traveling! Please come back and visit.
Man at northeast stairs of main area You're Matthew, aren't you? [Yes] The Kaocho generals have ordered their soldiers to hunt you down! Be careful! You've made them angry! [No] If you see this Matthew fellow, tell him the Kaocho generals are trying to hunt him down!
Southeast boy in main area Please don't take our Amiti with you. I'll try to behave better if he stays here with us!
Soldier near innkeeper Our Amiti already seems like a changed man. He's well on his way to being a great warrior!
Soldier near beds Seeing Amiti suit up for battle makes me a little sad... Like he's not one of us anymore.
Man with purple headband near stoneworks entrance The Temple of Barai is a masterpiece. When I saw the temple emerge from the water, I couldn't stop singing its praises!
Lower-right stonesmith You people reversed the Alchemy Well? You have some surprising talents!
Upper-right stonesmith When the Temple of Barai appeared from the water, I wept tears of joy! What masters its builders were!
Lower-left stonesmith You let the water out of the barai pond, right? I took a break from stoneworking to look at the temple.
Upper-left stonesmith I thought WE had serious talent until I gazed upon the Temple of Barai. It's beyond brilliant.
Left guard in top exit behind stone gate You can leave Ayuthay through this main gate. King Paithos has said that you may come and go through here as you please.
Right guard in top exit behind stone gate The outside world is a dangerous place, Amiti. Please take care of yourself out there.
Ayuthay (after Barai Temple, but with Alchemy Well reversed again)
Woman at northwest stairs of main area Why is Amiti going with you? I thought we were the only ones allowed to help him around!
Old woman left of Alchemy Well I've heard that Amiti is leaving Ayuthay. Everyone will miss him terribly.
Man in green outside inn You lowered the waters with the Alchemy Well so you could visit the temple? I wish I could have gone!
Woman southwest of fountain How long will the Kaocho soldiers occupy our country? Chase them out of here, if you can!
Southwest boy in main area It's been lots of fun for us since you all showed up. Do you really have to go?
Old man right of Alchemy Well I hear you plan to leave Ayuthay. You must be fond of traveling, so I hope you come back and visit.
Man at northeast stairs of main area Hey, are you Matthew? [Yes] I don't know WHAT you did, but the generals gave orders for you to be rounded up. Be careful out there! [No] If you see this Matthew person, warn him that the Kaocho generals are on the hunt for him.
Southeast boy in main area I can't believe that Amiti is leaving with you Adepts! I'll try to behave if he stays here!
Soldier near innkeeper Our Amiti already seems like a great warrior! I'm so proud of him.
Soldier near beds It saddens me to see Amiti equipped for battle. I feel like we're losing him forever.
Man with purple headband near stoneworks entrance The Temple of Barai is the kind of masterpiece that makes you cry out in joy every time you see it!
Lower-right stonesmith You are the ones who reversed the Alchemy Well! How impressive!
Upper-right stonesmith When the Temple of Barai emerged from the water, tears came to my eyes... Such mastery is overpowering!
Lower-left stonesmith You people let the water out of the Barai pond, right? I took a break to visit the temple for a while!
Upper-left stonesmith I thought we were the most skillful stoneworkers who ever lived, but then I saw the beautiful Temple of Barai.
Ayuthay (after defeating Ku-Tsung and Ku-Embra)
Left soldier at jail The high and mighty generals, Ku-Tsung and Ku-Embra, here in our prison! It doesn't get any better than that.
Right soldier at jail I'm glad the Kaocho generals are locked up. I have to admit they're pretty intimidating. They look really tough, so if you beat them, that makes you the toughest people I know!
Ku-Tsung in jail This defeat doesn't tarnish my honor, Matthew. It's rare to face a great foe in combat, and I'll never forget you Adepts for the rest of my life.
Ku-Embra in jail You dogs! You worms! I can't accept that I lost to Adepts! I'll take this shame to my grave...
Lower-left soldier near palace steps Things were going so well until those spirits showed up. And now the generals have gone missing!
Lower-right soldier near palace steps I sure wish we could call it a day and head home. I need to get back to my farming!
Soldier at upper-left corner of pond All we've done since we got to Ayuthay is watch the grass grow. Not a bad way to earn a living!
Soldier on raft, at north end If you're looking to cross to the far side, I'm your man. Want me to take you across? [Yes] Sounds good. Hold tight. We're shoving off! [No] Not now? OK, you know where to find me if you want to cross.
Soldier on raft, at south end I can take you to the opposite side. Want to go across? [Yes] OK, then. Hang on. We're shoving off! [No] No? All right. I'll be here for you when you want to cross.
Soldier on raft, at north end (if Alchemy Well is reversed) Whoa! Where'd the water go? I hope you weren't counting on me for a ride. My raft is useless until we get more water in here!
Left soldier I heard you didn't get rid of those evil spirits. The generals were very upset at you.
Right soldier The generals were furious that you never followed through with those exorcisms in Ayuthay!
Right soldier The generals were furious that you never followed through with those exorcisms in Ayuthay!
Southwest soldier Looks like another big day of doing nothing. I don't like war much, but a battle would break the monotony.
South solder to the right I haven't seen our generals for a while. I wonder where Ku-Tsung and Ku-Embra have gone to?
Far east soldier The water level here dropped, but now it's normal again. But who would play havoc with the pond?
Ayuthay (Grave Eclipse)
Lower corpse near south end of pond The remains of some unfortunate soul. I came as a soldier. I left as a hero.
Corpse near raft at south end of pond The remains of some unfortunate soul. I would have seen that fiend coming, if it hadn't been for that dark eclipse...
Ku-Tsung and Ku-Embra's corpses near Tree Flute tree This unfortunate soul has met a grim fate. [Ku-Tsung] Ah, Ku-Embra... Who could have guessed our great careers could have come to this... [Ku-Tsung] At least no one but us will ever know about the treasure we hid in Kaocho... [Ku-Embra] Oh, Ku-Tsung... What a terrible end for us, but at least no one will ever locate our treasure. [Ku-Embra] What a great hiding place...in that cracked stone three steps to the left of the Kaocho Palace stairs...
Left guard in top exit behind stone gate How did you ever make it back to Ayuthay with all those monsters prowling outside?! These warriors are brave as brave gets, traveling among the monsters out there!
Right guard in top exit behind stone gate Who...who are you? Sorry, I'm still shocked at what's happened. First, the occupation. And now this... I shudder to even remember the sounds we heard when the disaster first happened...
Left soldier at jail We can't let our guard down for even one second. Or else the monsters may get through. King Paithos said that the monsters would not come here. But we'll keep protecting it, just in case.
Right soldier at jail Remember the generals you defeated? [Yes] We were keeping them locked up, but when the eclipse came, we felt that we had to let them free. I think they actually tried to rally their army against us again... when the monsters came. [No] No? Well, Ku-Tsung and Ku-Embra were Kaocho's top generals. And they didn't give up until...the end. Maybe it was a bad idea to free the Kaocho generals. They met a grim fate outside.
Young man in orange near upper right of main area Those two Kaocho generals were on the loose when the eclipse happened. I wonder what happened to them. I was never a fan of general Ku-Embra or Ku-Tsung, but I bet they fought valiantly when the end came.
Item shopkeeper Our defenses have been a lifesaver. It makes getting fresh goods tough, but at least I can sell what I have!
Minister southeast of fountain I always thought the Grave Eclipse was merely a legend. Fortunately, our Alchemy Well area is a great shelter. But Ayuthay can't keep going like this. We must be ready for the possibility that the monsters may find their way inside.
Healer at sanctum bench Things are bleak now that the world has been plunged into darkness. What else can you do in such times but pray to the heavens for mercy!
Weapon shopkeeper We descendants of the Exathi have endured years of hardship, unlike the Fori.
Armor shopkeeper People all over the kingdom talk about some big treasure being stashed here. What I wouldn't do to get that treasure for myself!
Woman southwest of fountain With the world the way it is, you'll be leaving soon to save it. And taking our Amiti again too... I heard that Amiti has turned out to be a fierce warrior! I'm so proud!
Woman in red northwest of fountain The soldiers that were around the big pond outside... I don't like to think about it. The Kaocho occupation around Ayuthay did come to an end, I guess. But no one deserved THAT fate.
Minister at left end of main area Did the Insight Glass come in handy? [Yes] The Insight Glass was sure to be useful. Given that your journey isn't over, I'm sure it will still prove its worth. [No] No, I can't believe it! Surely, you're having a joke at my expense! Our greatest secret is that Ayuthay hid the Insight Glass—so secret, that I've never known what it actually is!
Soldier outside inn It feels like ages since we last saw you in Ayuthay! Weren't these the guys hiking all the way over the Khiren Mountains? And they're back already?!
Innkeeper As long as the king lets everyone stay here for free, my inn's not going to do a lot of business...
Right handmaiden Paithos knew of the legendary evils that are again plaguing the land. He hurried everyone inside to safety. There's a lesson to be learned in the old stories of the Grave Eclipse. Hopefully someone learns it.
Center handmaiden How dashing you've become, Amiti! I think of you all the time these days! Hopefully Amiti and his friends can reverse the grim fate that has befallen the world...
Left handmaiden In the sad event that Paithos has passed while you're away, I'll be here to advise you when you return. Just having Amiti home again has brought some light back to Ayuthay.
Paithos in bed There was...something I was readying for you. It may have come in handy... but alas, I cannot yet give it to you. At some point...I really should say that the treasure of Ayuthay is in the room beneath my throne...
Man south of Paithos We're so happy to see you safe and sound, Amiti. But we know your travels aren't over yet. Be careful. In the tragic event that Paithos passes away, I'll be the one who will advise Amiti when he returns.
Man with purple headband near stoneworks entrance It's so hard to stay shut away like this with nothing to do. It's hard to keep these fellows calm. They're used to working all day long.
Lower-right stonesmith They told us to stop our work. I suppose there's no point in cutting stone at a time like this. I've spent most all my years pounding away at stone, trying to help Ayuthay prosper. And now I have to stop?
Upper-right stonesmith
What happened outside? Do you know?
[Yes] Well, it baffles me why Sol and Luna should have such a falling out that monsters show up!
[No] What a world! Even the greatest warriors I know don't have an explanation for this chaos!
This monumental event should be recorded in stone so that future generations learn of this evil eclipse.
Lower-left stonesmith I need to stay busy to take my mind off what's happening. But we can't work right now. I should get some sleep, since I don't have to work. But I'm not tired, since I can't work. What a dilemma.
Upper-left stonesmith I can't bear the thought that everything we've built up may just come tumbling down... We can't keep going on like this. We just CAN'T.
Soldier in front of Alchemy Well You start going a little batty when you spend too long cramped up with one of these Alchemy Machines. What kind of job is this for a guard, just standing around? I'm getting a backache!
Old man southwest of Alchemy Well Oh! Never seeing the sun or moon, or even feeling a single breeze. This is no way to live. There's not enough in here to keep my mind occupied. I'm going a little stir-crazy.
Man northwest of Alchemy Well I'm sure everyone appreciates the safety this place affords us. But the complaints are getting out of hand. People always said that this room was beautifully illuminated. Me, I'd rather see the sun again.
Boy northwest of Alchemy Well Maybe it's better if I don't hear about what's happening outside... I hope that someday I can go outside again. I'd like to have my own adventures!
Boy southeast of Alchemy Well Some people can't stand being near the Alchemy Well, but I think it's fun in here. Like a playground! People complain that I'm just causing trouble down here. But what else is there to do?!
Girl southeast of Alchemy Well I wonder if I'll ever be able to go outside. I can't imagine never pulling fruit down from a tree ever again. Ayuthay grew some of the best fruits in the world. Now I can only dream about eating such tasty treats.
Old woman looking up at Alchemy Well I can't get the noise out of my head, cooped up here with that crummy machine! I always thought the Alchemy Well was soothing. But oh, my poor ears! That machine makes SUCH a racket!
