NPCYremeryss gazes at you. The two of you lock eyes for the first time, an icy darkness churning in her stare. "Worm. Insect. You have... the nerve... to stand before me again? You should have gasped your last breath long ago. Very well. I will rid this arrogant mon-keigh of his/her final breath myself."
YOU"If you wish to live, then get out of my way. I have come for the Gate, not your life."

Marazhai"Oh, no. That could not be further from the truth. Archon Aezyrraesh dies today. Here. Now."

NPCYremeryss laughs. The sound is reminiscent of a snake hissing. "Oh, mon-keigh. You are a brazen one, aren't you? Will you still be so brash when I flay you open and string you up by your sinews?"

YOU"The toys of your pet Haemonculus did little to help him."
NPCYremeryss smirks. "Oh, I am certain the Haemonculus still has plenty of unbroken toys left. You haven't seen even a tenth of what Tervantias commands."

NPC"The Haemonculus may play as many of his little games in the arena as he pleases. I am satisfied with what he provides for the ranks of the Kabal. That makes him valuable enough to spare his life."

NPC"Spare yourself the struggle of comprehending the meaning behind my deeds, wretched creature. Crudarach was to be my key to power the likes of which the Reaving Tempest could only dream of. Majesty is mine alone to claim, and I will claim it!"

YOU"What did you need the Farseers for? Why take such a risk?"
NPC"So be it, I will humour you before death... If only to step out of another's shadow once and for all. I wished to orchestrate a little dysjunction — and with my helpless brethren in my clutches, who are capable of tearing apart the veil with their mere presence, it could not have been simpler. When the time came, the Farseers would be my weapon against the Reaving Tempest's rivals — under cover of the cataclysm, my blades would behead all those who stood in the way of my ascent!"

YOU"I have grown tired of the games and machinations you have ushered into my realm. Prepare to die, Archon Yremeryss."
NPC"Die? Ha!" Yremeryss draws her weapon. "You are the only one who dies today. And after I am done with you, I will pay a visit to realspace — to observe the terror and ruin wrought by my Kabal."
NPC"Do you know, mon-keigh, that so many of your kind have had their lives cut short at the hands of their own kin? I used you to purge the ranks of the Kabal, to clear all obstacles from my path. I used you to accomplish my goals. I colluded with your kind — despite your much-vaunted hatred of xenos, which ought to have prevented any of you from even considering such a thing!"

Argenta"You lie, xenos! This is the foul slander of an enemy of Humanity!"

MarazhaiMarazhai narrows his eyes. "You purged the ranks of the Kabal and cleared all obstacles from your path? Even in that you failed, you talentless wretch. I am still here. I will be the one to purge the Reaving Tempest of you."

Abelard"Blessed Throne..." Abelard closes his eyes and shakes his head in sorrow. It seems the xenos's admission has aged him five years.

Solomorne"It sickens me to say this, but I believe the xenos. I know what kinds of things people will do in the name of personal gain, and now that the foul spawn has confessed, the situation in the Expanse suddenly makes a lot more sense."

NPC"My servants are heading out on a new hunt as we speak. Who will become their prey? Which lights will wink out in the void? How many mon-keigh will perish in the darkness?" Yremeryss lets out a mocking laugh. "You will never know."

YOU"Have you any final words to speak before your demise, Yremeryss?"
NPCYremeryss tilts her head. "I intend to live, mon-keigh. I will live. And I will continue my work and lead my Kabal to greatness."
end of branch
YOU"Marazhai, do you have any last words for your sister?"
NPC"Now you speak only with the permission of your pet mon-keigh?" Yremeryss laughs mockingly. "My insignificant little brother, you never should have crawled out of our mother's womb, your existence is a disgrace to our blood..."
MarazhaiMarazhai's lips stretch into a saccharine smile. "My poor older sister, you still cannot stand the fact that I was born... but how can I be surprised? It is hard to think of more glaring proof that our mother considered her first attempt to continue the line a failure."
NPCYremeryss stiffens, and a moment later bares her teeth in a furious hiss. The Archon of the Reaving Tempest raises a hand to signal to her underlings.

Marazhai"You destroyed your future with your own hands. When the truth became known, all the weapons of Commorragh would have turned against you — and against my Kabal!"
NPC"And this coward was my Dracon? You are too quick to call the Reaving Tempest your Kabal — you have neither the ambition nor the vision to lead all these warriors full of lust for power and blood!"
MarazhaiMarazhai laughs mockingly. "Dragging Farseers into our spire in an attempt to trigger a dysjunction — that was your grand vision? It is a pity you have not bothered to lead a single raid in recent years — it would have been entertaining to watch you order a fleet to fly headlong into mon-keigh structures and detonate their engines, all to secure a bright future for the Kabal!"

NPCThe Archon's gaze shifts away from you — to Marazhai. A venomous smile spreads across her face. "My former Dracon... My inept executioner. Have you found yourself a new master/mistress?"
