Dialogue

Barhan Nesser Dialogue

The problem might be graver
than I thought...
It seems the Desert Nagas were examining
the Sand Grain Bazaar.
Nobody really speaks Nagan here,
so we cannot know for sure, but they were presumably
counting the numbers of soldiers, horses, and camels...
Now, a few soldiers from Atui Balac's detached force
are on patrol near Desert Naga Shrine.
Show them this document,
and find out what it really says.

Barhan Nesser Dialogue (Alt)

So, what did they say?
Were the Nagas really after our land?

Saira Completion

Why would a Naga found near the town
carry this kind of document?
