Limited Conversation
Rook finds Bellara talking to Emmrich in his room.
Bellara: A third edition of The Unnamable Elements? I didn’t even know it had editions!
Emmrich: Oh, it’s much improved with the index. Please borrow it, if you’d like.
Bellara: I’d love to—oh, Rook! You probably want to say hi. Thanks, Professor!
Bellara leaves.
Rook: You look moved in.
Emmrich: Just a few essentials. Manfred was a great help with the boxes.
Manfred: (Friendly hiss)
Emmrich: What a fascinating place this Lighthouse is! What do you make of it?

| Mourn Watcher | Non-Mourn Watcher |
|---|---|
| Rook: It’s much nicer with another Mourn Watcher around.Emmrich: Is it? | Rook: I think I like it better with a necromancer in the place.Emmrich: Do you? |
Rook: Especially one with experience.
Emmrich: I must be sure to live up to expectations.
Rook: Did you get the tour yet?
Emmrich: Oh, I’ve been exploring, but…
2 - Beautiful. Surprisingly comfy.
Rook: It’s great. Big, mysterious, lots of art, everyone’s got their own room…
Emmrich: It’d be easy to fall in love with such a place.
Rook: I think Bellara has.
Emmrich: She’s been quite welcoming. However…
3 - It’s better with more people.
Rook: Early on, it mostly felt empty. But it’s gotten more homey with each new person.
Emmrich: For all its grandeur, the Lighthouse does seem meant for company.
Rook: Did you get the tour yet?
Emmrich: Oh, I’ve been exploring, but…
4 - It’s fine.
Rook: It’s… you know, big. Floaty. Fancy walls.
Emmrich: Oh, but there’s so much more to it than that!
Rook: Bellara seems to think so too.
Emmrich: She’s been quite welcoming. However…
5 - Mourn Watch: Nice, but no Grand Necropolis.
Rook: It’s impressive, but it doesn’t have the scope of the tombs back home.
Emmrich: What does? Still, what a refreshing marvel.
Rook: Bellara’s already running experiments.
Emmrich: She’s kindly shown me around. However…
6 - Veil Jumper: You should see Arlathan.
Rook: I should take you to some of the weirder places I discovered with the Veil Jumpers.
Emmrich: Would you? Bellara’s tales of Arlathan have been astonishing.
Rook: I’ll bet. The wonders she could show you…
Emmrich: Oh, Bellara’s been very welcoming, but…
7 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.Emmrich: I noticed a few of the others taken aback by Manfred. And I overheard remarks about my skulls. My necromancy won’t cause any undue worry, will it?
Dialogue options:

- Stoic: We’ve seen weirder. [10]
- Mourn Watch Mage: Mine doesn’t. I think. [11]
8 - Affable: Everyone’s just new.
Rook: We’re still getting used to one another.
Emmrich: True. And yet…
Rook: Give it time, we’ll settle in.
9 - Sarcastic: Nah! Well, maybe a little.
Rook: No way!
Emmrich: (Relieved sigh)
Rook: But a few people might not get it.
Emmrich: Oh, I’d hoped to make a good first impression.
Rook: Bellara’s excited you’re here. Everyone else just has to get to know you.
10 - Stoic: We’ve seen weirder.
Rook: We’ll be fighting weirder stuff than necromancy.
Emmrich: Ah, that’s the hope.
11 - Mourn Watch Mage: Mine doesn’t. I think.
Rook: No one’s afraid of my necromancy.
Emmrich: That’s a relief.
Rook: That I know of.
Emmrich: (Sighs) Our art is so easily vilified.
Rook: That’s life outside Nevarra. You’ll win them over.
