Dialogue

Monastery Overlook

"I am Lukas. I am already quite legendary amongst the warriors of my people, the Kurzicks."

Shing Jea Island town and outposts:

"The name is Lukas of House Vasburg, you seem like a pretty good sort. Why don't you make sure to stay close to me, and you'll learn what it takes to become a legend. That's right, I don't intend to become a mere hero, but truly legendary. Epic, you might say. The crux of the matter, of course, is not just accomplishing your goals but accomplishing them in true style. I will become the greatest of artists and the battlefield will be my canvas. Now, what is it you wanted?"

Wajjun Bazaar

"Who wouldn't require the services of a hero such as me? There was little else to do on Shing Jea Island, so I figured I would come here."

Echovald Forest:

"Can you believe that Danika still refuses to notice me? You would have thought I could get her attention after hiring those minstrels. What was that? You think I've made a mistake? Yes of course! The minstrels were rather droll of me, I think it's time to commission a statue~ or perhaps the writing of a play recounting my great deeds! It's hard to decide, perhaps I'll do both. My thanks for the advice, did you need something?"

Divine Path:

"Can I ask a favor, <player name>? Danika seems to have a lot of respect for you. I still don't understand why she hasn't fallen for me. Do you think you could put in a good word for me? Not that I need it, of course, but every little bit helps."

Quotes

Shing Jea Island towns and outposts:

"Who would like to fight by the side of the greatest warrior the world has ever known? That's right don't be intimidated by my prowess!" [sic]

"You there! You look like a capable sort, invite me to go with you and you too can take part in forging my legend!"

Shing Jea Island:

"If only Danika were here to see me. In the entire world, only she is truly worthy of me."

"It is an honor to fight by my side."

"It's a shame they let Luxons into the monastery. Of course they fight fairly well, but no style at all."

"You should see how they treat me back home. I don't really like to brag about it, but I am something of a hero. People know me."

Echovald Forest:

"Sometimes when I go into battle I hear music. Of course I paid a lot to commission those songs about me so it is a good thing that the music is so fetching, it sticks in one's head. A true testament to the subject matter!"

"We've been through a lot, haven't we? It is times like these that make my soul reflect on courage and loyalty, the sort of bond that develops only between those who have shed blood together. A warrior could never ask for more stalwart followers that I have found in all of you."

"With my homeland in peril and crying out for a hero to save the day, what else could I do but return?"

Battle quotes

"Another victory for me!"

"I make everything look so effortless."

"I'm really left handed!"

"Poorly done! Let me show you how to fight with some style!"

"Saints of old guide my sword; if I should fall then guide my soul!" (same as Erys, possibly a House Vasburg battle cry)

"Sometimes I amaze even myself!"

"That was a mightily struck blow, if I do say so myself."

"The poets will write epics about this day!"

"You will remember this as the day you were defeated by Lukas Vasburg."
