==Quotes==
{{dialogue needed}}
Early in the game.
:''"''<[[Character]] name>? Yes, I think I've heard of you."''
:''"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names."''
:''"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."''
:''"Well, no matter where you go, at least you're finally getting somewhere."''
:''"You're one of the [[Order of the Sunspears|Sunspears]], aren't you? Shouldn't you be guarding something?"''

After [[Jokanur Diggings]].
:''"Are you the heroes who ventured into the ruins? How very brave of you."''
:''"I never listen to seers. They just make things up."''
:''"It takes more than charging blindly into some old ruins to convince me you're a hero."''
:''"My new house is nearly ready. Do you think it would be wrong to use stones from the ruins?"''
:''"The rumors of a living darkness in the ruins seem to have been true. I told the Elders to do something about that."''

After [[Blacktide Den]].
:''"Go tell the [[Kournans]] we will not fight them. We want peace in Istan in our time."''
:''"I fear the rumors of war may be true. If [[Varesh Ossa]] wishes to conquer Istan, what can we do to stop her?"''
:''"I cannot imagine that either [[Vabbi]] or [[Kourna]] would allow a war in Istan. The very idea is ludicrous."''
:''"War is costly in both gold and soldiers. It must be avoided."''
:''"We have no issue with the Kournans. Why do they insist on war?"''

After completion of the [[Consulate Docks]] mission.
:''"I do not trust Kourna. Why aren't they counter-attacking? What is Varesh Ossa planning?"''
:''"I told the Elders to keep a leash on that dog, [[Kormir]]. It seems I was right."''
:''"Kormir! Bah! This is all her fault! She was too impulsive. Kourna would have accepted our treaty in time."''
:''"Kourna has been deeply insulted. We must give them Kormir in chains if we are to have peace."''
:''"Out of my sight, Sunspear! Your kind gets no respect from me today."''

After completion of the [[Moddok Crevice]] mission.
:''"Are the Sunspears safe?"''
:''"Do not speak to me, Sunspear mutt."''
:''"I worry about the Sunspears. When the Kournans are done with them, who will protect Istan?"''
:''"Let Varesh waste her energy hunting the Sunspears. We win, either way."''
:''"Varesh Ossa, they say, is descended from a true [[Turai Ossa|King of Elona]]. She is simply seizing her birthright."''

After completion of the [[Grand Court of Sebelkeh]] mission.
:''"How did you manage to convince the three princes to listen?"''
:''"I have been watching you, <Character name>. Your efforts are heroic. Istan will remember."''
:''"Vabbi? Allies? Are you joking? What will they want in return?"''
:''"Well, well. Vabbian allies. Perhaps you have more worth than your friends, Sunspear."''
:''"Why ally with the Vabbians? Just make peace with Varesh."''

After completion of the [[Ruins of Morah]] mission.
:''"Even in Vabbi, they know this is the end of the world."''
:''"It doesn't matter now. Nothing does. Nightfall is upon us."''
:''"It's the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine."''
:''"Nightfall is a curse from the gods! How would they wish such evil upon us?"''
:''"Varesh. This is all her fault. You fought well, <Character name>, but there is nothing a mortal could do."''

After completion of the [[Abaddon's Gate]] mission.
:''"I admit I was wrong about you Sunspears. Maybe you do have some worth."''
:''"Nightfall is over, and Istan still stands! Praise [[Dwayna]]!"''
:''"Thank you, for everything you did to help this country."''
:''"Well done, Sunspear! All of Istan will remember your name!"''
:''"Yes, yes. Very well done. I eat my words. Are you satisfied?"''

==Dialogue==
===The Tribunal===
*''Go tell the Kournans we will not fight them. We want peace in Istan in our time.''
*''I fear the rumors of war may be true. If Varesh Ossa wishes to conquer Istan, what can we do to stop her.''
*''I cannot imagine that either Vabbi or Kourna would allow a war in Istan. The very idea is ludicrous.''
*''War is costly in both gold and soldiers. It must be avoided.''
*''We have no issue with the Kournans. Why do they insist on war?''

==Trivia==
*"Peace in our time" is possibly a reference to an oft-misquoted Neville Chamberlain speech prior to WWII.
*"It's the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine." is likely a reference to the REM song of the same name.
*"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure" is often attributed to former US Vice President Dan Quayle; the quote originated in a MAD magazine article as something Quayle might say.
