(Edited for dancing, auction-shouts, etc.)
[Shout] Hikmat: Who will tell the next story!
[Shout] Hikmat: Icy Night!
Hikmat Manar points at Daigon Ze'Marri.
[Shout] Daigon: E'drik is a Prophet
[Shout] Hikmat: Daigon! Will one of Icy Night tell us a tale?
[Shout] E'drik: This is a tale of Lun D'dar Sek'alar of our Tribe. His battle with the Ice Giant.
[Shout] Daigon: I take my word from our Prophets... I tell no stories... but kill often of their wisdom.
[Shout] E'drik: For until the frozen tundra had been stained with the Giants blood he was no longer part of the Virakt.

[Shout] E'drik: ...unable to use his spells, but now he must run to the Dark waters north of Rhu'uzk to present himself to the Virakt. Many Fir'k may look upon us...
[Shout] E'drik: ...and sneer at our rites but they are not Irekei. They do not understand life is a trial at all times; we are Irekei, those that endure, because...
[Shout] E'drik: ...we are Irekei first; some of us see the Dragon, some of us Morloch but in the end our blood ties us stronger than any thing else.
