00:02This was your mother's pendant.
00:05Khan gave it to you, didn't he?
00:06He did the glorious class victory in Aftelra in Morning Nestle.
00:10All my life I've been taught to fear the Mari spirits.
00:12This underly magic is what Montfort used so many years ago
00:16to bring death and destruction to our lands.
00:18This archivist, you say he's an expert on Mari.
00:21Could he get this thing out of me?
00:23You'll need a guide. Joran is a good guide.
00:26You like books, young lady?
00:28Hunter!
00:31She can read it.
00:36What's going on?
00:37Payment on delivery.
00:40Hunter!
00:41Nick!
00:42He will see.
01:01I am Thomas.
01:03Featherwell Rye.
01:05Master of this castle.
01:08And known to some as the Archivist.
01:12Welcome, New Mario.
01:14I was dragged into a carriage by two of your goons.
01:19Did they hurt you?
01:20I regret a cesspool like the heretics market is not a place for subtlety or manners.
01:26Or common sense.
01:28I've been on my way to you for weeks.
01:30You didn't need to hire brutes to compel me.
01:34I understand your friend, Hunter.
01:36My guide and I had an agreement to get me to you.
01:42Well, evidently it's worked out.
01:44Just as you intended.
01:48May I?
01:53You can count the dots.
01:57They're all there.
02:02Forgive me, I never thought I would see this in my lifetime.
02:06The new Mari.
02:10May I ask what gifts it grants you?
02:12There's been so many stories.
02:14Hardly gifts.
02:17People have died.
02:18And lived.
02:19I understand.
02:28My hospitality has been appalling.
02:30You must be exhausted.
02:32Jaggery.
02:33Please show our honoured guest to her room.
02:38Very good, Rai.
02:40Young Joran left this for the lady.
03:03You have to do so many times.
03:06I call her a friend.
03:06You have to be detached.
03:07you cannot find it more.
03:07Since this is not a friend,
03:07I'm here to find a friend.
03:08I'm here to sell it.
03:13The new Mari in the altar,
03:15I'm here to organize.
03:15You have to find the women who are on your house,
03:15We have to recognize the man who is standing on your head.
03:15I'm here to have a friend.
03:16I want to do so many people who are on my own.
03:18I'm here to be the one of the family laughs
04:34The Rye left this for you, my lady.
04:47The Rye left this for you, my lady.
05:06Lord, Nirith created the Mari from her father's last breath.
05:11To be sure, but they grew wicked after.
05:14All the people Lord Montfort killed.
05:17The Knath saved us from him, and from the evil of the spirits.
05:21The spirits can heal as well.
05:24I've seen it.
05:28I've done it.
05:31No one ever taught us the new Mari could do that.
05:35I've never heard such a thing, to be sure.
05:38No.
05:39We shouldn't keep the Rye waiting.
05:42How old do you know him?
05:46My family have served the Rye and his family for many years.
05:50The whole castle was once as grand as the Leith Hall.
05:54Times may be hard, but he's always treated us well.
05:57Well, he's a good man, so he is.
06:15I trust that the dress is to your liking.
06:18Few have seen my little collection.
06:24Needless to say, the Knath would not approve.
06:27Fortunately, the castle has some interesting original features.
06:47After you.
07:02Let's go.
07:04Let's go.
07:54Where did all this come from?
07:57Collected over the years.
07:59It all started in Helgoth.
08:01The power I still teach at that cursed place, I assume.
08:05The insurrection, they defied the K'nath.
08:10Helgoth were on the edge of my father's estate.
08:12The entire third army swept through it to the rage that had not been seen since the seven-year war.
08:18My earliest memory was seeing the sky turn black with smoke.
08:22Afterwards, my father took me to the ruins.
08:27Everything he built, destroyed.
08:30Such senseless waste.
08:33And all those people killed?
08:36There was a woman.
08:39They say executed by the K'nath Master.
08:42She must have been someone of note.
08:45I saw her body.
08:46She died clutching a child's toy.
08:50An Athwolf beautifully whittled.
08:54When my father wasn't looking, I took it.
08:59And that was the first artifact of my collection.
09:02But that was all you saw?
09:04A treasure to be hoarded?
09:06Not hoarded.
09:08Preserved.
09:11When the ruins and the bones of the dead are gone,
09:14I could still hold in my hand the last memory of Helgoth's revolt.
09:20Learn from it.
09:23Knowledge is power, Wren.
09:26The K'nath know this.
09:29That's why they control the truth so tightly.
09:32And where is this treasure now?
09:35Well, I have others that are far greater.
09:44The Battle of Naphthena.
09:46Where Lord Montfort of Darmouth and the Twelve Families
09:50took their final stand against the King's army.
09:53They say that Lord Montfort conduit a storm that lasted ten days and ten nights.
09:58A storm?
10:02The power.
10:03To control the elements themselves.
10:10This is a fragment of his armor.
10:19The K'nath's glorious victory at Nath-tena.
10:22The 52nd year of the Griffin.
10:43A century is but a blink of an eye for Numaari.
10:45For before...
10:45Of course...
10:47Even Numaari or I were incredibly long lived.
10:51Who?
10:59Let's go.
11:24You are as one, newly born, in the light of Nerith.
11:30She has called you to her purpose.
11:34Tower of the Holland Sea, you are Numbari.
11:40In the light of Nerith.
11:41In the light of Nerith.
11:54Tower of the Holland Sea.
12:13If your bonding with the spirit was an accident,
12:17And may I ask, how did you come by a Maori rye pendant?
12:25This is all very impressive, but I didn't come here to learn about the Maori.
12:30I came here to get it out of me.
12:33The first new Maori in a century.
12:36And you would reject that honor.
12:38Can you do it?
12:40Because if not, I thank you for your hospitality, but I need to leave.
12:45Here.
12:50The pride of my collection.
12:54All rescued from the K'nath's bull burnings during the cleansing.
12:58Reading tutors are not easy to come by these days.
13:01It has taken me years to learn this skill.
13:05Although there are texts here that I still cannot fathom.
13:10I believe that this is a spell book.
13:13Although, it defies all my attempts at interpretation.
13:19The language is just so ancient.
13:23I'm told that it predates the North Kings.
13:27But these diagrams here...
13:29Rupka Darn.
13:32The sundering of a host from Amari.
13:35You can read it.
13:40Nath-Wulf's claw steeped in boiling salt water over a flame of Ica wood.
13:47Beneath Nardaeth's tear shall they be riven.
13:51This is it.
13:52This is how to get it out.
13:55Nardaeth's tear.
13:58The full moon?
14:00Three weeks.
14:05Rupka Hale.
14:07The bonding of Amari with a host.
14:12Eye of Nirith.
14:14Culled with silver.
14:16Set aflame its dust of the moor.
14:20Wren.
14:21I've devoted my life to learning about the Numari.
14:24I did not seek Aretha merely to lock the spirit away.
14:30As a Numari.
14:31With all the gifts that it would bestow.
14:34I might repair all that the Karnath have broken.
14:38Do me the honor.
14:40Allow me to take this burden from you.
14:42Wren.
14:43Let me back up.
14:45I lived in three weeks.
14:48I lived in three weeks.
