- Forge of the Forlorn - Interact with Poniard during the 'Crystal Prisms' quest
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): …And the more you fold the metal, the stronger the blade will be.
Hero: Wow, nice. You're really good at this, Poniard.
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): Yes, unfortunately, I am.
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): I started training at a young age.
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): To forge a blade… It made me feel powerful.
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): My brother was a poet… He never approved.
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): He told me I didn't have to bring more violence in the world. Words, he said, were mightier.
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): Of course, I didn't listen. I was good at this. Why would I give it up?
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): But then, my brother wrote a love poem for the wrong girl.
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): And his rival… bought a sword I had made.
Hero: You couldn't have known…
Poniard (Pensive Blacksmith): Maybe not. But my brother's blood is still on my hands.
