Dialogue

Accepting the quest

Ah, one of Master Matoya's guests. You've come at an opportune time.
I was preparing to take a walk and tend to the candles about Slitherbough, and I would ask you assist me. I can think of no finer opportunity to learn more of our people.
Take these three candles, and replace any that appear to be nearly spent. A simple task, I know, but I believe it will prove most illuminating.
Optional dialogue
You need only place the three candles I gave you. I will take care of the rest.

Place the blue-flamed candles.

Languid Laborer

Optional dialogue
Pay me no mind. I'll be returning to work soon enough.

The player uses the Blue-flamed Candle on the cluster of candles.

A fresh candle. How thoughtful of you.
Whenever I'm feeling stressed, watching the flames helps settle my nerves. Something about the way they flicker and dance is so soothing to me. Perhaps you should give it a try sometime.

Loquacious Lass

Optional dialogue
Hey mister/miss, why do you dress so funny? Is it for your work? Mama makes medicine and Papa is a guard. He's always busy outside, so I try to help lots and lots inside.

The player uses the Blue-flamed Candle on the cluster of candles.

Thanks, mister/miss. You're real good at placing candles.
If the player has completed Shadowbringers
Have you seen the candles outside, in the sky? There's so many! Mama said there's too many to count, but I bet I could if I wanted.
Otherwise
Mama says the night sky has candles. Lots and lots of candles. So many you can't count them all. I bet I could, though!
They're really pretty, but I think I like the candles in here more.

Warm-hearted Woman

Optional dialogue
What do you see when you look into the flames?

The player uses the Blue-flamed Candle on the cluster of candles.

Beautiful, aren't they? Like the souls of the departed, burning bright in the sunless sea above.
I often come here to pay respects to our forebears, reflecting on the sacrifices that allowed us to live as we do now.

Speak with Alsa.

You are returned, and enlightened by the experience, I trust. We are a quiet people, but conversation comes easy in the presence of the candles.
Before the Flood, our worship would no doubt have been seen as profane. Sacrilege...
But it is the expression of our faith that defines us, not the object of our worship.
If the player has completed Shadowbringers
I can but imagine what change will come to the Night's Blessed now that the night has returned to us.
Otherwise
I can but imagine what change may come to the Night's Blessed should the night ever return to us.
