Tanith, Volcano Manor Proprietress (2024)

Introduction (if invited to Volcano Manor by Rya)
English Dialogue
Brave Tarnished, welcome to the Volcano Manor.
I am Tanith, the proprietress of this house.
Rya spoke well of you.
"A warrior of promise," I believe she said.
Perhaps you are prepared to make a commitment.
Will you join us here at the Volcano Manor, and resist the tide?
Why accept the burden of their grace, or be fooled by the dogmatic ramblings of the Fingers?
Rise with us, against the Erdtree.
Introduction (if not invited)
Aren't you precocious.
We rarely receive visitors to the Volcano Manor without invitation.
Fascinating. And not unlike another guest we had long ago…
So, Tarnished, have you ever harboured doubts?
About the burden of grace, and the dogmatic ramblings of the Fingers?
If you have, why not join the Volcano Manor, and fight with us?
Rise with us, against the Erdtree.
"Join Volcano Manor" (if invited to Volcano Manor by Rya)
Interesting. Your decision is most welcome.
Now you belong to the Volcano Manor family.
The drawing room lies down the hall. Make yourself comfortable.
But be sure to earn your keep.
"Join Volcano Manor" (if not invited)
Your decision is most welcome.
Now you belong to the Volcano Manor family.
The drawing room lies down the hall. Make yourself comfortable.
I am Tanith, the proprietress of this house. An honour to have you.
"Don't join" (if invited to Volcano Manor by Rya)
Well. That is unfortunate.
Rya will be disappointed, but I won't twist your arm.
Now, time for you to leave, I should think.
Let this intersection of our paths be the last.
"Don't join" (if not invited)
Well. That is unfortunate.
Now, time for you to leave, I should think.
Let this intersection of our paths be the last.
After refusing to join
What's this?
Have you reconsidered the prospect?
Of rising with us, against the Erdtree?
"Join Volcano Manor" (after previously refusing)
Very well.
Your decision is most welcome.
Now you belong to the Volcano Manor family.
The drawing room lies down the hall. Make yourself comfortable.
If talked to again (After receiving Drawing Room Key)
The drawing room is through the hall.
Use the key I handed you, and make yourself comfortable.
After picking up the Letter from Volcano Manor
Did you read the letter left for you?
That is the task the Volcano Manor desires you enact.
You will be compensated once the deed is done. Good luck.
If you are loath to hunt your own kin, so be it.
But you must leave this house at once.
This is a war against the Erdtree.
We have no place for the meek, nor the luxury of keeping clean hands.
If talked to again (after picking up Letter from Volcano Manor)
The letter describes the task the Volcano Manor desires you enact.
You will be compensated once the deed is done. Good luck.
After defeating Old Knight Istvan
You've completed your task.
I am pleased. Now you are a recusant true, and a full-fledged member of the Volcano Manor.
This is your reward, as promised.
Never forget. That the recusant fights to tread the path of the champion.
The way is tainted, but for this very reason,
it is the true path to valour
After defeating Rileigh the Idle
I see you've performed another task for us.
Here is your usual reward. Please, take it.
Now, perhaps the time has come to tell you.
Of the true ruler of this manor, Lord Rykard.
The Erdtree blessed the Tarnished with grace.
But it was all too meagre, in the face of the enormity of their task.
The Tarnished were forced to scavenge, squabbling for crumbs.
Like the shardbearers, vying for power in the wake of the Shattering.
Our Lord, indignant, has refused. To scurry about, fighting over what miserly scraps they allow us.
If the Erdtree, and indeed the very gods, would debase us so,
then we are willing to raise the banner of resistance, even if it means heresy.
We at the Volcano Manor, under Lord Rykard, have sworn no rest until it is done.
If you follow this heroic path, one day the Lord will see you.
The Lord's visits with our champions are always a spectacle.
It cannot come a day too soon!
If talked to again
If you follow this heroic path, one day the Lord will see you.
It cannot come a day too soon!
"Zorayas's Form" (after seeing Rya's true form)
Did you see her?
The girl, Rya…with her true face.
...
Well, if she confided in you the name Zorayas,
then perhaps it is not my place to speak.
But as her adoptive mother, I ask of you.
Please, be kind to her. Look after young Zorayas.
Her true visage belies the purity of her heart.
…Honestly, I hardly deserve the sweet child.
If talked to again
Please, be kind to her. Look after young Zorayas.
Her true visage belies the purity of her heart.
"Zorayas's Troubles" (after giving Rya the Serpent's Amnion)
She said that, to you?
I should have known something was wrong. The signs were clear enough.
Well. Zorayas has placed her trust in you. All the more reason I must tell you.
That some things are better left unknown. Besides, no-one should be blamed for their heritage.
Think about it. We are resisting the ways of the Erdtree itself.
What matters one's lineage in such a crisis?
If talked to again
Zorayas has placed her trust in you. All the more reason I must tell you.
That some things are better left unknown. Besides, no-one should be blamed for their heritage.
"Zorayas's Absence"
No, I haven't seen Zorayas anywhere.
And she has no scouting duties now.
Has she gone off in search of answers?
Why won't she just listen...
If talked to again
May I ask your aid?
Not as the Manor's proprietress, but as Zorayas' mother.
If she discovers the answer to her question, and it causes distress,
have her drink this potion.
To purge that which would cause her pain.
If talked to again (after obtaining Tonic of Forgetfulness)
Yes, I know.
My wish is a grave disrespect to her.
No different than the Erdtree's imposition.
But I've no choice... It must be done.
If talked to again
My wish is a grave disrespect to her.
But I've no choice... It must be done.
After giving Rya the Tonic of Forgetfulness
Thank you, for allowing me this.
I will never be a good mother. My heart is too frail.
Our Lord must have known this all along.
My meekness is all too clear...
Sweet Zorayas, have I earned your scorn?
If Rya is killed
Really, she is dead, then...
My gratitude for your forthrightness.
If you would...allow me some time alone.
If talked to again
Please, allow me some time alone.
After defeating Juno Hoslow, Knight of Blood
I see that you've stayed the path of champions.
This is your usual reward. Please, take it.
Perhaps you are ready. Might you see our Lord?
Our Lord will no doubt welcome you. Another kindred spirit, treading the path of champions.
"See the lord"
Yes, as it should be.
Now, close your eyes for a moment.
I will transport you to the Lord's chamber.
Farewell, then.
May your visit be fruitful
"Don't see the lord"
I see... Well, I cannot make you take the leap.
But do know this.
To follow the path of valour, an audience with our Lord is essential.
In order to defy this debasem*nt, and rise up against the Erdtree.
Like a true recusant of the Volcano Manor.
After refusing to see the lord
Won't you consider having an audience with our Lord?
Our Lord will no doubt welcome you. Another kindred spirit, treading the path of champions.
After defeating Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy
You...
It's true then. You've defeated our Lord.
No, I must thank you. Our Lord was yet weak. You have taught us that.
Defeat is not the end. Our Lord is immortal, and will one day rise again, stronger.
Until then, I must stay the path, and do my part.
If talked to again
I will leave the Volcano Manor before long.
I suggest you do the same.
Here is my thanks. For allowing our Lord to be revived, even stronger than before.
I will miss these encounters.
The champion who walks the tainted path shines all the more.
I always was an admirer.
If talked to again
This is farewell.
Perhaps we will meet again, along the path.
In Rykard's chamber
Oh, you...
Allow me some time.
Our Lord's carcass is vast, and not easily consumed.
Dear Rykard, please find purchase within me,
I wish to be your serpent; your family.
One day, let us devour the gods together.
If talked to again
Dear Rykard, please find purchase within me,
I wish to be your serpent; your family.
One day, let us devour the gods together.
"Give Dancer's Castanets"
What is it?
I have no need of that.
I must continue devouring my beloved lord...
If attacked
Ngh!
Ahh, my lord...
Rykard...
Death
Oh, Rykard…
Let me be your serpent…
