-*'''Wyll''': If that's true, then so must the be the opposite: there are people out there celebrating their lives' best moment.
-* '''Wyll''': A wedding to their betrothed, a new baby, a windfall... the taste of an exquisite pudding....<hr>
-*'''Shadowheart''': Fiend worship... I'm not trying to pick a fight, Wyll. But it really seems like a blatantly ill-advised idea.
-*'''Wyll''': It's the furthest thing from my mind. Besides, Shadowheart - not all fiends are cut from the same scorched cloth.
-*'''Shadowheart''': How do they differ, then? The number of horns? The exact timbre of their evil laugh?
-*'''Wyll''': Could be most anything. Their willingness to torment their travel partners with wisecracks, for example.
 <hr>
-(In Bloomridge Park)
+(At Abandoned Cistern in the [[Lower City Sewers]])
-*'''Wyll''': Spent a lot of time in this park as a boy battling imaginary monsters.
+* '''Shadowheart''': You know what would be nice, just for a change? Venturing through a sun-dappled vineyard, or a gleaming palace.
+* '''Shadowheart''': You know what would be nice, just for a change? Venturing through a mysterious bazaar, or a lush, dark wood, scented with lavender.
+* '''Wyll''': Not so fond of the sewers, then?
+* '''Shadowheart''': They have their purpose. I'd just rather we didn't have to wade through their purpose.
+<hr>
+(At [[Flymm Cargo]])
+* '''Wyll''': I'm reminded of a book father kept hidden in a drawer. 'The Salty Mermaid'. Do you know of it, Shadowheart?
+* '''Shadowheart''': 'Fabian ran his calloused fingers along Allura's scales. Her tail quivered in response...'
+* '''Wyll''': ' 'Taste me', Allura pleaded. Fabian smashed his lips against hers and their tongues twisted together like two eels in the Sword Sea.'
+(''If Ulder Ravengard died'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': The pinnacle of good trash - even I can't forget that one too easily. Your father was a man of fine taste.
+(''If Ulder Ravengard is still alive'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': The pinnacle of good trash - even I can't forget that one too easily. Your father is man of fine taste.

+(At [[Bloomridge Park]])
+* '''Wyll''': Spent a lot of time in this park as a boy battling imaginary monsters.
 * '''Shadowheart''': So before you were Blade of the Frontiers, you were Pointy Stick of the Park? How did the imaginary monsters compare with the real thing?
-*'''Wyll''': The monsters of my play-fights were strong, vicious. Trolls with hulking muscles, werewolves with sharpened fangs.
+* '''Wyll''': The monsters of my play-fights were strong, vicious. Trolls with hulking muscles, werewolves with sharpened fangs.
-* '''Wyll''': But the greatest villains I've faced as the Blade? They look more like you and me than they do the beasts of my fantasies.<hr>
+* '''Wyll''': But the greatest villains I've faced as the Blade? They look more like you and me than they do the beasts of my fantasies.
-(Entrance to [[Water Queen's House]])
+<hr>
-*'''Shadowheart''': Umberlee - a brutal goddess, from what I understand. Without even the slightest touch of subtley to her.
+(At Harborview Park)
-*'''Wyll''': Subtley isn't exactly your forte, given how you've strolled about wearing a circlet inset with Shar's symbol.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Amazing how the city can seem almost peaceful at times, knowing all that goes on out there.
-* (''If Shadowheart is still devoted to Shar'')
+* '''Wyll''': 'All that goes on'?
-**'''Shadowheart''': That's different. You'd be surprised how easily Lady Shar can hide in plain sight. People go around blinkered, caught up in their own lives.
+(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'')
-**'''Shadowheart''': Besides... it suits me.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Consider the numbers. Someone out there must be having the worst day of their life. Being robbed, evicted, widowed, who knows? Then, easy prey for Lady Shar.
-* (''If Shadowheart is no longer devoted to Shar'')
+(''If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar'')
-**'''Shadowheart''': You'd be surprised how people can miss what's in plain sight.  I missed the fact that Shar was deceiving me.  Besides, I have a new look now.  Suits me, I think.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Consider the numbers. Someone out there must be having the worst day of their life. Robbed, evicted, widowed, who knows? No wonder Shar thrives, with such misery...
-* '''Wyll''': On that matter, you'll hear no argument from me.  <hr>
+* '''Wyll''': If that's true, then so must be the opposite: there are people out there celebrating their lives' best moment.

+(At [[Water Queen's House]])
+* '''Shadowheart''': Umberlee - a brutal goddess, from what I understand. Without even the slightest touch of subtlety to her.

+* '''Wyll''': On that matter, you'll hear no argument from me.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 1 romance scene'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': Someone of your... social stature, Wyll. Are they typically allowed to pursue their heart's whims as they like?
+* '''Wyll''': I don't have to ask for permission, if that's what you mean.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Really? I'm surprised. I thought dowries, alliances and old blueblood feuds might have to be balanced against your desires.
+* '''Wyll''': I'm my own man, Shadowheart... in this sense, at least.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart; after act 1 romance scene'')
+* '''Wyll''': Shadowheart - the way you paint around your eyes, they look permanently cloaked in shadow.
+* '''Shadowheart''': It brings me closer to Lady Shar. One day, all of our eyes will feast on her endless darkness.
+* '''Shadowheart''': No harm in a little mystery...
+* '''Shadowheart''': Besides, I think it suits my bone structure.
+* '''Wyll''': And yet your bed-pillow bears barely a smudge. You are a woman of many talents.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart; after act 2 romance scene'')
+* '''Wyll''': I saw you pressing a bunch of flowers the other day in a book.
+* '''Wyll''': Not like you to keep something forever.
+* '''Shadowheart''': They'll crumble away in time... but no harm in appreciating their beauty until then.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Selune'')
+* '''Wyll''': Even if you and our friend ended up having werewolf cubs, they'd be so adorable.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Ahem. I've shown no signs of lycanthropy, thank you very much... but should that change, I'll take it you're volunteering to be child-minder.
+* '''Wyll''': Hm. Buy me some protective gloves, and I'm all for it.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Shar'')
+* '''Wyll''': I think it's a true shame, that your goddess doesn't allow for love.
+* '''Wyll''': Do you regret it?
+* '''Shadowheart''': I could never regret fulfilling my life's purpose. Besides, Lady Shar may afford me a little... wiggle room.
-=== {{Banter|Minthara}}===
+==={{Banter|Halsin}}===
-(in [[Reithwin Town]])
+(In [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]])
-*'''Shadowheart''': This place was ruined rather thoroughly. I'm starting to forget what a habitable village looks like.
+* '''Halsin''': Once, you could hear nature's symphony in this place. Now it is quiet. Quiet and dead.
-*'''Minthara''': Your Sharran kin are responsible for this ruin. They purged these lands even before the shadow curse, and pillaged all they could find.
+* '''Shadowheart''': I can make some animal noises, if it'll make you feel more at home.
-* (''If Shadowheart is still devoted to Shar'')
+* '''Halsin''': You bleat well enough as it is.
-**'''Shadowheart''': No... this must have been due to the battle. Lady Shar's warriors would have little interest in looting...
-**'''Minthara''': Come, Shadowheart. Do you think prayers alone can keep an army on the march?
-**'''Shadowheart''': Even those devoted to loss fill their pockets and bellies when the chance arises.
-*(''If Shadowheart is no longer devoted to Shar'')
-**'''Shadowheart''': Not my kin - not any longer. Their past deeds are not my responsibility.
 <hr>
-(at Sorcerous Sundries)
+(At [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] Forest)
-*'''Minthara''': I must admit, some of the items here are quite marvellous.
-*'''Shadowheart''': Baldur's Gate prices, though. Not worth it, if you ask me.
-*'''Minthara''': I shall be careful not to ask you then, child.
-==={{Banter|Halsin}}===
+(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': Chin up, Halsin. I know you don't favour Lady Shar's darkness, but look - trees!
+* '''Halsin''': I will not be taunted in this place - not after all it has taken from me. Show respect, or you will force my hand.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Is that so? It's quite a hand...
+(''If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': Halsin... were there ever wolves in these woods?
+* '''Halsin''': Once, certainly. But not for a hundred years. Any that still prowl this land can scarcely be called wolves any longer.
+* '''Shadowheart''': I see... a hundred years is too far back, for what I had in mind. No matter.
+<hr>
+(At [[Grand Mausoleum]])
+* '''Shadowheart''': So this is where you interred Ketheric Thorm, Halsin? Couldn't you have done a little more to prevent his return...?
+* '''Halsin''': We did the best we could, under dire circumstances. You would suggest otherwise?
+* '''Shadowheart''': All I'm saying is that it's more difficult to come back from the dead if you were chopped up and had the pieces delivered to different corners of the realm.
+<hr>
+(At [[Gauntlet of Shar]])
+* '''Halsin''': I daresay you are no longer comfortable in this place, Shadowheart.
+* '''Shadowheart''': That's an understatement if I ever heard one.
+* '''Halsin''': True. But you are among friends. Whatever lies ahead, we shall face it together.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Thank you.
+* '''Halsin''': Shar's armies of destruction arose from within these halls.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Those who do not listen to the reason of Lady Shar words must instead feel the keenness of her blade.
+* '''Halsin''': You sound like a student - reciting words for a test without considering their meaning.
+* '''Shadowheart''': I've considered them plenty. Besides, Lady Shar favours action over words. Try it out, sometime.
+<hr>
+(''While assaulting [[Moonrise Towers]]'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': Odd that you're fighting Ketheric Thorm again, only this time with a warrior of Lady Shar at your side.
+* '''Halsin''': They say that history does not repeat, but it does rhyme, now and again. This is a rather unharmonious example.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Indeed. 'Shadowheart and Halsin, Sharran and Bear. Who would have dreamt of an alliance so rare'.
+* '''Halsin''': Like I said - unharmonious.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Second time's a charm, eh, Halsin? Let's make sure Ketheric Thorm is gone for good this time.
+* '''Halsin''': Indeed. Though I wondered if you might have some empathy for him... both being former disciples of Shar.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Hardly - he's merely one more obstacle - and a killable one, now that Nightsong is free.
+<hr>
+(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]])
+* '''Shadowheart''': This place is like some moist, unappealing maze. Can your nose guide us, Halsin?
+* '''Halsin''': I fear not. The vapours in this alien cloaca are most bizarre.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Cloaca...? You could have just said tunnels, you know. I'm nauseous enough as it is.
+<hr>
+(At [[Steel Watch Foundry]])
+* '''Halsin''': The birthing ground of those steel monstrosities. I would feel little sorrow if this place should close forever.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Oh come on, you have to be at least a little impressed by the craftsmanship. There's only so much you can do with wood.
+* '''Halsin''': Not so, in my experience. There is little I cannot whittle.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Did you do that on purpose...?
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Haslin in act 3'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': Halsin, if I were a druid, what animal do you think I'd be?
+* '''Halsin''': Given your memory issues, perhaps a goldfish?
+* '''Shadowheart''': I'd hoped for something a bit more exotic... but would you carry around my fish bowl, feed me flakes of food?
+* '''Halsin''': Only the finest, of course.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Selune'')
+* '''Halsin''': I heard you learnt how to swim, Shadowheart - well done.
+* '''Halsin''': You know, if you and your love ever wish to enjoy the waters with me, I could attempt a kelpie... or even a porpoise.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Depends, are you buoyant? I may need a life preserver if I get in over my head.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Shar'')
+* '''Halsin''': I heard what took place at Selûne's shrine, Shadowheart. Was such defilement truly necessary?
+* '''Shadowheart''': Lady Shar demanded an offering, and I provided. Are you truly that scandalised, Halsin?
+* '''Halsin''': More disappointed, I would say.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Sounds like jealousy, to me. I couldn't risk your wild side getting too excited at the scent of blood...
-*'''Halsin''': Once, you could hear nature's symphony in this place. Now it is quiet. Quiet and dead.
+=== {{Banter|Minthara}}===
-*'''Shadowheart''': I can make some animal noises, if it'll make you feel more at home.
+(''At [[Last Light Inn]], if it's cursed'')
-*'''Halsin:''' You bleat well enough as it is.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Gone. Swallowed up by the shadow curse.
+* '''Minthara''': Not before time. They hoped to stand against Ketheric with little more than a trick of the light to protect them.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Worse - they defied Lady Shar's power, openly. Now they have paid the price.
+* '''Shadowheart''': They were desperate. Nobody deserves this.
+<hr>
+(At [[Reithwin Town]])
+* '''Shadowheart''': This place was ruined rather thoroughly. I'm starting to forget what a habitable village looks like.
+* '''Minthara''': Your Sharran kin are responsible for this ruin. They purged these lands even before the shadow curse, and pillaged all they could find.
+(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': No... this must have been due to the battle. Lady Shar's warriors would have little interet in looting...

+* '''Shadowheart''': Even those devoted to loss fill their pockets and bellies when the chance arises.
+(''If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': Not my kin - not any longer. Their past deeds are not my responsibility.
+<hr>
+(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]] Tadpoling Centre)
+* '''Shadowheart''': Ugh. This place brings back unwelcome memories of a tadpole slipping behind my eye...
+* '''Minthara''': Appalling. I am glad my memories of the infection are not so clear.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Oh yes, I forgot - you had your love of the Absolute to mask the ugly parts.
+* '''Minthara''': Do not call it love. It was poison.
+<hr>
+(At [[Rivington]])
+* '''Minthara''': The excess of refugees outside the city walls could easily become a surplus of labourers.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Careful, Minthara. As a drow exile, you could be classed as a refugee yourself. Not volunteering, I take it?
+* '''Minthara''': I am a daughter of House Baenre. I obey no authority except my own desires.
+* '''Shadowheart''': I can think of a least one wriggly stowaway who might dispute that...
+<hr>
+(At [[Wyrmway]])
+* '''Minthara''': What sweet relief to shelter from the sky for a while.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Sunlight giving you a headache? You're not supposed to stare right into it, you know.
+* '''Minthara''': That was due to your insipid conversation, half-elf.
+<hr>
+(At [[Felogyr's Fireworks]])
+* '''Minthara''': Amusing as it is to provide children with such lethal toys, surely there are better uses for this powder?
+* '''Shadowheart''': Plenty. They can make for excellent distractions, should you need to make a quick exit.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Partly why the Ducal Council controls supply - trying to keep the whizz-bangs out of nefarious hands.
+* '''Minthara''': The Ducal Council must have sprung a leak, for we seem to find barrels of the stuff everywhere.
+<hr>
+(At [[Sorcerous Sundries]])
+* '''Minthara''': I must admit, some of the items here are quite marvellous.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Baldur's Gate prices, though. Not worth it, if you ask me.
+* '''Minthara''': I shall be careful not to ask you then, child.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 2 romance scene'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': Any doubts about falling for a foe, Minthara? Or does that just add spice to things?
+* '''Minthara''': I do not fall for my foes. I vanquish them.
+* '''Minthara''': I cannot love who I do not trust, with either my heart or my body. I am fortunate to have found someone worthy.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 3 romance scene'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': Is drow society as the books say? It almost sounds tempting - matriarchal power, flourishing to its greatest extent.
+* '''Minthara''': It flourishes because the strong feed on the weak. Charming as you are, child, you would be nourishment for the matrons mothers.
+* '''Shadowheart''': ...Of course.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Selune'')
+* '''Minthara''': I may not weep for my home, but I would take a mushroom over a flower any day.
+* '''Shadowheart''': I would have said I admire fungi as well.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Until I met such a thing you call a Myconid.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Shar'')
+* '''Minthara''': I cannot tell if you are more a deviant or a debutante, Shadowheart.
+* '''Minthara''': I would like to test both aspects of your character when next you find yourself alone at night.
+* '''Shadowheart''': I'm not quite sure I like where this is going.
 === {{Banter|Jaheira}}===
+(''While south of [[Wyrm's Crossing]]'')
-(''If Shadowheart is still devoted to Shar'')
+* '''Jaheira''': Wyrm's Crossing. This place has been a haven, when Harpers were less than welcome in the city proper.
-*'''Jaheira''': Tell me, Shadowheart - how does Shar's favour feel? Does it fill you up, bring you joy?
+(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'')
-*'''Shadowheart''': A nice vintage or a comfortable bed bring me joy. This is much more than that. This brings me purpose.
+* '''Shadowheart''': It is always wise to have another redoubt, another escape route. Though I assumed your lot's antics would have secured you the love of the masses.
-*'''Jaheira''': So humbly spoken. Perhaps you are a different breed than the last Mother Superior.
+* '''Jaheira''': Oh, a Harper does not go in for public acclaim. We work in shadow and secrecy, tragically unacknowledged by the ungrateful herd.
-*'''Shadowheart''': Time shall tell. At the very least, I can learn from her mistakes.
+* '''Shadowheart''': Lady Shar's children toil similarly... but we know there is no need to seek the favour of others. Our lady's love is all we need.
+(''If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar'')
+* '''Shadowheart''': Seems hard to imagine your efforts haven't always been appreciated.

-(''If Shadowheart is no longer devoted to Shar'')
+(At [[Morphic Pool]])
-*'''Jaheira''': Shadowheart. You should know - Viconia was not half so heartless as she liked to appear.
+* '''Jaheira''': And now another 'final' battle. This small band has gone further than any army could have in its place.
-*'''Shadowheart''': I knew her well enough. You might have travelled with her for a time, but she trained me. What's your point?
+* '''Shadowheart''': You didn't seek to gather the Harpers for one last charge? Fodder for heroic ballads yet to be written, perhaps.
-*'''Jaheira''': Only that I find it hard to believe that she could have raised you, and felt nothing for you.
+* '''Jaheira''': Not at all - Harpers fight dirty. A well-timed strike, with the knowledge of just where to place it, and suddenly superior numbers count for nothing.
-*'''Shadowheart''': Perhaps she took some pride in her work, forming me to Shar's liking. She certainly relished wielding the rod..
+(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'')
-*'''Shadowheart''': ... but who knows. Perhaps someone else made her that way, as she tried to do to me.
+* '''Shadowheart''': You must have been following the example of Lady Shar's children then - they do say imitation is a form of flattery.
