conversations.value: There is a world of mystery, mysticism, and terror.
  
  The people there are human. They have gods, and kings, and cities, and empires.
  
  But there are things that live on their world that are more ancient, and powerful, than the gods.
  
  They call them Patricians.
  
  If the gods are the lords of humanity, the Patricians are the lords of reality itself.
  
  People might worship a god of civilization, or wisdom, or learning. But wipe out those followers, destroy the artifacts, burn the books - that god goes away.
  
  You cannot kill a Patrician so easily. It is like attempting to kill the sky. The entire sky, everywhere, forever.
  
  In this world, the Patrician of plants and the Patrician of beasts struggle constantly. Root-of-All seeks to destroy all animal life, everywhere, forever, extinguishing his foe eternally, and creating a utopia for plant life. Father Paw seeks to contain Root-of-All, to cut him off from the world without destroying all plant life - the beasts need plants to live, after all.
  
  As this struggle plays out for the ten thousandth time, and Root-of-All comes closer to winning than he ever has before, a small group of wayward souls finds themselves drawn together.
  
  They will be the ones to stop Root-of-All, this time forever.
  
  But at what cost will this victory come?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You were taken, or perhaps born, by one of the Patricians. They shaped you, molded you, guided you. Now you are an adult. Your Patrician's goals, your dreams, and your destiny, are linked.
conversations.prefix: The Dreamer:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've seen it all. You've served every god and Patrician. You've lived more lifetimes than any other mortal. You've also made more mistakes. What path will you choose now?
conversations.prefix: The Master:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your people will need you. But they will not need an idle ruler, sitting in an ivory tower, oblivious to the suffering of the many. You are on a quest, and you will see it through. It will change you forever.
conversations.prefix: The Royal Heir:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A fire, a weapon, some water, some food, and a place to sleep. These are all you've ever needed. Until now. You have companions now. They rely on you. They need you. You're starting to feel the same for them.
conversations.prefix: The Hunter:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: One day, you saw the error of your ways. Your great mistakes haunt you to this day. You would do anything to atone for them. You would give your very life if you had to. As for the lives of others...
conversations.prefix: Atonement:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Whether due to amnesia or a sheltered upbringing, most things are new to you. You seek to grow, to broaden your mind. Perhaps, with enough wisdom and experience, you can change the future.
conversations.prefix: Discovery:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There is something you would give anything to safeguard. The drive to protect it would motivate you to give everything - even your body and soul. You will not sacrifice others, but you will give yourself.
conversations.prefix: Protection:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: All things operate by standard rules. Even the Patricians must obey them. You believe these rules can be harnessed - that there can be ways of using them repeatedly and consistently to better mankind.
conversations.prefix: The Thinker:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: One way or another, you will make a mark on this world. All will remember your legacy, even long after the physical effects are gone. Ideally, it will be for the good you've done, and the lives you saved.
conversations.prefix: Grandeur:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The world is in flux. The actions of ambitious Patricians are throwing everything into chaos. It used to be peaceful. You'd like it to be peaceful again. If this means killing something older than a god, so be it.
conversations.prefix: Stability:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You know little of the world. It's not your fault - you weren't exactly raised like normal people. Still, your 'innocence' gets you in trouble more often than it aids you.
conversations.prefix: Naivety:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You never had a formal education. High concepts and grand language are outside your comfort zone. You like to keep things simple and clear so that everyone can understand, yourself included.
conversations.prefix: Unlearned:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: One or more of the Patricians views you in a special light. Whether they favor you or oppose you, their opinion is made clear regularly, and it hinders you every time.
conversations.prefix: Beholden:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Everywhere you go, people recognize you. And not in a good way. In civilized company, you must keep your face disguised, lest your past catch up with you. And when it does, things get violent, fast.
conversations.prefix: Known:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You don't take no for an answer. If there's even a small inkling that your way is better than the alternative, you're likely to act on it, and damn the consequences. Failure is worse than whatever price you'd pay.
conversations.prefix: Stubborn:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Ancient, like all Patricians. Root-of-All's domain is plants. Hates all animals. Plots openly to create a world of only plant life and the elements.
conversations.prefix: Root-of-All:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Ancient, like all Patricians. Father Paw's domain is animals. Hates Root-of-All, okay with plants. Can make pacts with mortals. The price is steep.
conversations.prefix: Father Paw:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've had a long time to learn how to fight with anything that holds an edge. You can also use blades as tools in ways other people don't normally think about.
conversations.prefix: Blade Mastery:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It is a rare gift, the ability to reshape the world with one's mind. Usually it indicates a parent or other ancestor who made a pact with a Patrician. Still, it can be quite useful at times.
conversations.prefix: The Power:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You know how things work, and you know how people behave. You know just the right words to make someone your friend for life, the exact sequence of actions to stop someone's heart, and more.
conversations.prefix: Wisdom:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: If there's a way to make it work, you can find it. Scraps, trash, and a bit of ingenuity can turn a hopeless situation into a chance for victory. And you always seem to find what you need.
conversations.prefix: Resourceful:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You know facts. Sometimes they're trivia, other times they're critical. Things that no one else could possibly know, you've committed to memory. Things that could be incredibly useful.
conversations.prefix: Knowledge:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It starts here. Just at the edge of civilization, on the border of Patrician territory. They all live beyond this threshold, waiting, watching.
conversations.prefix: Edge of the Woods:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Money isn't everything, but it sure helps. You probably live hand to mouth - or rather, hand to pocket, and not your own at that. Now you're in the forest, and there's more at stake than money.
conversations.prefix: The Bandit:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Some people have strength. Others have intelligence. You're a little more flexible than most. Literally. Whether you're double-jointed or just well-practiced, you can move with grace and speed.
conversations.prefix: Agility:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Everywhere you go, they will follow. They're not your friends, but they needn't be your enemies either. They are, however, a constant thorn in your side, reminding you that you're always being watched.
conversations.prefix: Followed:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whether physical, mental, or otherwise, you seek to improve your abilities. To hone the skills you already have, and perhaps gain new ones. You might take extreme measures to get such power...
conversations.prefix: Strength:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Base camp. Halfway between civilization and the deep woods, where things beyond human understanding dwell.
conversations.prefix: The Hunter's Shack:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There is only one way into the Garden. Out is less certain. But at least the way inside is clear, if not open.
conversations.prefix: The Gate:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Kwa jina la baba zangu, Muumba wa mimea, nasema sasa - mlango huu atafungua na nimrudishie watani wangu.
conversations.prefix: The Key:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Loyal son of Root-of-All. Guards the path to the Garden. Covered in thorns and nettles.
conversations.prefix: His Loyal Servant:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Loyal son of Root-of-All. Guards the path to the Garden. Covered in thorns and nettles.
conversations.prefix: His Loyal Servant:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There's only one way into Root-of-All's Garden, and it only opens if you have both the Key and the Right to use it.
conversations.prefix: Enter the Gate:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Only those not born of beasts - or at the very least, blessed by Root-of-All - can open the Gate. One of you has discovered, or remembered, this fact about themselves.
conversations.prefix: The Right:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A seemingly-innocuous glade in the middle of the deepest woods.
conversations.prefix: Forest Glade:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There is a certain peaceful serenity here. One can almost understand why Root-of-All likes it. But all the world will be like this if he has his way.
conversations.prefix: Deep in the Woods:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A small circle of stones in the middle of the woods, just beside a babbling brook.
conversations.prefix: Stone Circle:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Bordering the ocean and the forest, and observed by both Root-of-All and The Crone. It is beautiful and dangerous here.
conversations.prefix: Mouth of the River:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Even in these trying times, there is life and activity here. The blacksmith, the farmer, the brewer, and more all sell their wares.
conversations.prefix: A Small Town:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Worn, grim faces watch all who pass through these doors. They can sense the end coming.
conversations.prefix: The Inn:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Widow. Mother. Trying to stay positive. The world isn't dying, and you'd better be good around her kids.
conversations.prefix: Innkeeper Morralia:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's no telling how long you'll be in the woods, or what you'll find when you're in there. You'll want some essentials. Food, something to start a fire, something to hold water, and so on.
conversations.prefix: Gather Supplies:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Some of you would be recognized if you're not careful. You'll need to keep a low profile, or there will be trouble.
conversations.prefix: Stay Unnoticed:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This ragtag group of soldiers and hired mercenaries abandoned the outpost that they were charged to protect, deep in the woods. They haven't had an easy time of it, and strangers attract their immediate suspicion.
conversations.prefix: The Deserters:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Food and supplies can make the difference between life and death, especially in  place as foreboding as these woods. 
conversations.prefix: Extra Supplies:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Mazelina, she calls herself now. She wears the armor of a mercenary and surrounds herself with common soldiers.
  
  You remember when she went by a different name, in a land far from here-- living a far different life.
conversations.prefix: Mazelina (For Celrica):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are invited to partake in the *blót*, an ancient ceremony with roots in the long-forgotten rituals of hospitality. Most see it as a pleasant, harmless tradition. The formula consists of one toast to the gods, one toast to the dead, and lastly either a boast of a past deed or an oath for a deed to come.
conversations.prefix: Passing the Horn:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Perhaps the gods were listening after all.
  
  Or perhaps it's just bad luck.
  
  Play this card to introduce an unforeseen element that hurts your chances of success.

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: One of the last free survivors of a tribe decimated by war. Isolated among the living, haunted by the dead.
conversations.prefix: The Revenant:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The ancestors watch you from the plains beyond the sky, waiting for you to earn your place beside them. If you can locate and rescue the survivors of your tribe, you will. If you can avenge your tribe's dead, you will. But above all, in the tribe's final days, you will ensure that your people will be remembered as the proud, indomitable warriors they were. 
conversations.prefix: For the Honored Dead:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The plains reward strength, endurance, and cunning-- not fine manners or education. You have little patience for the pretensions that others call "civilized."
conversations.prefix: Uncouth:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: However well-made, a sword, bow, or lance is only as effective as the man who wields it. You've learned to think strategically, a skill with uses on and off the battlefield.
conversations.prefix: Warrior Tactics:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have enough coin on hand to buy just about anything you need.
conversations.prefix: Wealthy:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You have a hearty stash of coins, but keep it hidden to disguise your identity and discourage thieves.
conversations.prefix: Hidden Wealth:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You swear by knowledge and science. And the base in science and the ground to expand knowledge is observation. You observe, you think, you form ideas and hypotheses. Therfore you observe and take note on most around you.
conversations.prefix: Observation:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your birthright, training and experience have given you a formidable presence.
conversations.prefix: Commanding:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have trouble bending the truth too much.
