During The Ascent of Arceuus
First encounter
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Human.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Leave us.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Your presence is not desired.
- Player: But I need your help! I was sent by Asteros Arceuus, son of Lord Trobin Arceuus.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Arceuus.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: We know that name.
- Kaal-Mej-San: The name of a liar.
- Player: Liar?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: They came to us. Two of them.
- Kaal-Mej-San: The brother and the husband.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Her time was running out. They wanted to give her more.
- Kaal-Mej-San: We granted them knowledge. To give her more time.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: But they misused it. And the world suffered.
- Player: This knowledge? You mean immortality?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: In a way. But it was not meant for that.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Time was what it was meant for. But time still runs out.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: They put an end to time. They endagered the balance.
- Player: What balance?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: For every death, there must be life.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: For every life, there must be death.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Perfectly balanced.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: As all things should be.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: We serve this balance.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: For without balance, the world burns.
- Player: You're very confusing, you know that right?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Perhaps.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Perhaps our knowledge is beyond your understanding.
- Player: Well thankfully I didn't come here for knowledge. I came here for help. The Dark Altar is failing and the people of Arceuus are in danger. I need you to help me find the cause.
- Kaal-Mej-San: The people of Arceuus have had their time.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: This will restore balance.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Why should we help them?
- Player: *sigh* It can never be easy can it.
- Player: Fine. If you help me save the people of Arceuus, then I will help you.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: You assume we need help.
- Player: I've done this enough times to know that everyone wants something, even the masters of life and death.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Interesting. Maybe the human is not as stupid as it looks.
- Player: Well I've been known to have my moments.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Very well human.
- Kaal-Mej-San: We admit, the Arceuus people do have their uses.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Their work with souls has been useful in helping to maintain the balance.
- Kaal-Mej-San: We will help them. But first, you will serve us.
- Player: Excellent. What do you need from me?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: To the south lies a battlefront.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: There is a grave there. Within it lies a soul, trapped inside a corpse.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Free this soul. In return, we will provide our help.
- Player: So you just want me to kill a zombie?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: A zombie is soulless. An empty shell, reanimated by magic.
- Kaal-Mej-San: This is a soul. Trapped in this world, when it should have long departed.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Its existence is an affront to the balance.
- Player: Seems pretty simple.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Which is why it falls to you.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Consider it a test.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: If you pass.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: We may have further use for you.
- Player: Hmmm. Very well, I'll go and free this soul.
- (End of dialogue)
After freeing the soul
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: The human returns.
- Player: I've dealt with the trapped soul.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: You have done well.
- Kaal-Mej-San: The balance has been restored.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: And now we shall help you.
- Kaal-Mej-San: While you were busy, so were we.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: We have found the cause of your problem.
- Player: What is it?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: You said the Altar was failing.
- Kaal-Mej-San: This is not correct.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: The Altar is fine, but its power has been redirected.
- Player: Redirected where?
- Kaal-Mej-San: To a construct built by a mortal.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Right next to the Altar.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Find it. Destroy it.
- Kaal-Mej-San: And Arceuus will be saved.
- Player: So I just have to go to the Dark Altar, find this device and then destroy it. Sounds easy enough.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Then you have what you need.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: You can leave us.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Go and save your people.
- (End of dialogue)
After The Ascent of Arceuus
- Kaal-Mej-San: The human returns.
- Tell me about yourselves.
- Player: Tell me about yourselves.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: We are the Tasakaal.
- Kaal-Mej-San: We serve the balance.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Between life.
- Kaal-Mej-San: And death.
- Player: Balance? So you serve Guthix?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: A pretender.
- Kaal-Mej-San: We serve another power.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: A higher power.
- Player: What power?
- Kaal-Mej-San: One beyond your understanding.
- Player: Why do you serve this power?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: The anima of this world, it is fed by life.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Without life, there is no anima.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: But life can also destroy. It can endanger the anima.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: So life must be kept in check.
- Kaal-Mej-San: This is our purpose.
- Player: And you were given this purpose?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Yes.
- Kaal-Mej-San: And no.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Our purpose was to wait. But we saw the world burn.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: We could not stand by and watch.
- Kaal-Mej-San: So we left our people. Left our home.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: And took on a new purpose.
- Player: I'm still not sure I understand.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Maybe you never will.
- (Shows other options)
- Why did that soul need freeing?
- Player: Why did that soul need freeing?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Upon death, a soul should leave this world.
- Kaal-Mej-San: And move to the one beyond.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: This soul remained.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: It endangered the balance.
- Player: Was it always there?
- Kaal-Mej-San: No.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: The body was of one who died a long time ago.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: But the soul was of one who died more recently.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: It possessed this body.
- Kaal-Mej-San: We know not why.
- Player: Is this something that often happens?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: No.
- Kaal-Mej-San: It is a concerning occurrence.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: We believe a mortal to be involved.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Meddling.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Where one should not meddle.
- Player: Interesting...
- (Shows other options)
- You said you might have further use for me?
- Player: You said you might have further use for me?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: We did.
- Player: What did you mean by that?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: The task you performed.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: It was a menial one.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Another could have filled your role.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: But you showed promise.
- Kaal-Mej-San: So we tested you.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: You passed.
- Player: You said it was an important task. Now you say it's a menial one. Which is it?
- Kaal-Mej-San: An important task can still be menial.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: There is no contradiction here.
- Player: Hmmm... If you say so.
- Player: So why was it only a small task? Surely saving the Arceuus people was worth more than that.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: You assume it was a trade.
- Kaal-Mej-San: You assume wrong.
- Player: But you said I had to do it to save them?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Incorrect.
- Kaal-Mej-San: We had already committed to saving Arceuus.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: But we needed time to determine the problem.
- Kaal-Mej-San: While we worked, you needed purpose.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: So we gave you one.
- Player: I feel a little bit used.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Then you should have paid more attention.
- Player: So what is the further use you have for me?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: None.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: For now.
- Kaal-Mej-San: But we will call on you again.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: That, we can guarantee.

- Why do you hate Lord Arceuus?
- Player: Why do you hate Lord Arceuus?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: We granted them knowledge.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: For a specific purpose.
- Kaal-Mej-San: But they misused it.
- Player: Them? Who else was there?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Another.
- Player: Another?
- Kaal-Mej-San: Another.
- Player: I can see we're not going to get anywhere here.
- (Shows other options)
- Goodbye.
- Player: Goodbye.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Farewell human.

- What do you know of Xeric?
- Player: What do you know of Xeric?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: That name.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: It is not welcome here.
- Player: Right... sorry. What was it you called him? The great betrayer?
- Kaal-Mej-San: An apt description.
- Player: But why? What did he do?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: Threatened the balance.
- Player: Plenty of people threaten the balance. Why was he especially bad?
- Kaal-Mej-San: It is not your concern.
- Player: What are you hiding? You call him a betrayer... Did he betray you? Did you work with him?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: It is not your concern.
- (Shows other options)
- Do you know anything about this rogue Pyromancer?
- Player: Do you know anything about this rogue Pyromancer?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: No.
- Kaal-Mej-San: They are one of many.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: We can't determine which one.
- Player: So you know nothing of them?
- Kaal-Mej-San: They have a great strength.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: More than many of the others.
- Player: They sound dangerous. What do you plan to do?
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Nothing.
- Player: Nothing?
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: The Doors of Dinh are safe.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: They can do no more harm.
- Player: But whoever they are, they're working with Xamphur. Many lives could be at risk.
- Kaal-Mej-San: Lives are always at risk.
- Kaal-Xil-Dar: But the balance is what matters.
- Kaal-Ket-Jor: Until it is threatened.
- Kaal-Mej-San: There is no need for action.
