===Early Return[[Siege on Harrogath]]===So'''After Activation''':''About to face Shenk the Overseer and stop the siege, are you? You should ask Malah to perform your last rites before you still live! You’re either quickgo, or a cowardstranger. ''
'''Completion'''
So...You managed to stop the siege. You are more powerful than I gave you credit for. You have rightfully earned my respect.
===Quest Assigned[[Rescue on Mount Arreat]]==='''Activation'''My concerns have turned to my men taken prisoner on the battlefield by Baal's demons. I hate to think what's happened to them. As you journey up the mountain, keep your eyes out open for my soldiers and bring them back to me if you can. Those of my men fortunate enough to escape on their own told me that they were held captive in the highlands and plateaus."
They say that discretion, not procrastination, is the better part of valor.
===[[Prison of Ice]]===
'''After Activation'''
Anya's father, Aust, was our wisest Elder. He was killed along with the other Elders who erected the ward that protects this city. The ward has kept Baal's demons out of Harrogath, but at a costly sacrifice. Nihlathak, on the other hand, was the only Elder to escape the demons. Somehow, he alone managed to find sanctuary, while the others died around him. Ever since that day, Nihlathak and Anya have been at odds.
===[[Betrayal of Harrogath]]===
'''After Activation'''
I saw Nihlathak leave town just before you found Anya. He must be held accountable for his criminal deeds. Find him and bring him back, if you can. Likely, he won't come willingly, and you'll be forced to kill him. So be it.
===Early Return[[Rite of Passage]]==='''Activation'''Every time I warned hear of you; , warrior, your deeds become more legendary. But take heed. You are approaching the very summit of Mount Arreat. I have never dared venture there. It is sacred -- our most holy place. The legends say it is guarded by the Ancients Ancient Ones, who block the path of all who are unworthy. Your reputation here does not like matter...It will be the demons you’re accustomed to fightingAncients who determine your worthiness. Good luck.
'''Return'''
I warned you! The Ancients are not like the demons you're accustomed to fighting.
===Success[[Eve of Destruction]]===The destruction of the Worldstone does not bode well for our world, but I’ll try not '''Return'''You have ventured to a place beyond legend. You rush to worryface an evil few can even imagine. After allBe careful, we have warriors like you fighting for usmy friend, and for may the Light. Farewellwatch over you.
'''Completion'''
The destruction of the Worldstone does not bode well for our world. But I'll try not to worry... After all, we have warriors like you fighting for us and for the Light. Farewell!
===Gossip==='''General'''The death of Malah’s Malah's son was a great tragedy. He was our finest archer. While leading a successful campaign against Baal’s Baal's forces, he was impaled on a demon’s demon's spear. The wound was such that, well...Well, even Malah herself acknowledges that quick death was a blessing.
We have lost many well-trained warriors to Baal’s Baal's siege machines. Their range is great. Though, though they are vulnerable if you close the distance quickly enough.
Early on, parties of our best scouts were ambushed by demons that spawned from the very air around them. Survivors often mentioned a strange creature floating in the distance. Perhaps taking it down could prevent some nasty surprises.
This is unlike any battle I have ever fought. While we ration food and water, the demon hordes feast nightly on the flesh and blood of our dead.
Larzuk is a talented blacksmith, but his head is full of some strange ideas. Just the other day he came to me with a plan to break the siege. He wanted to fill large pipes with exploding powders and steel balls, and then, well, *chuckles* well...Well, like I said. Strange, strange.
Our Elders were wise leaders in more peaceful times. But , but now, the survival of our people has fallen to me. My men and I will fight to the death, but there’s there's no way to insure ensure the outcome. I used to believe that nothing could break through our guard and assault the holy mountain. I know now that I was horribly mistaken.
Harrogath has great need of your powers, noble Druid. However, in the face of this supernatural onslaught, are your natural powers up to the task?
