English dialogue  
Section 101001
...
Section 101002
...That's how we make it back at home.
Good, right? I'm glad you like it.
Have as much as you want. I made more than I need.
My mother taught me the recipe. It keeps well and won't leave you hungry.
Just something I like to do. To remember.
And to clear my mind.
Section 101003
...? I know.
You don't need to tell me twice.
It's the whole reason I'm here.
I vow to slay the fiend with my own two hands.
Section 101008
Tell me.
What's wrong with your arm?
Come on. You can't hide it.
Leave it too long and I'll have to act.
Get it fixed.
Section 101009
Well. I take it you need something.
Come back once I've finished mending my tools, alright?
Section 101011
Need something?
Section 101012
I can use that.
But where did you learn it works for weapon care? Did I...?
Well. Not that it matters.
Here you go. A token of thanks.
Section 101015
Seems you're back to normal.
Then you can stay. Good.
Section 101017
Hmm.
Section 101018
Fine.
Section 101019
This won't be easy. We face a true horror.
We can't know what's coming, but we can prepare.
Section 101020
Care to mend your weapons? You can use my tools.
Section 101021
That beast... Was that the Nightlord?
Section 101022
So there's more than one Lord? That explains it. They have the same scent.
Fine. We track them down, and kill them all.
Section 101023
The land here is cursed. Alongside every creature that walks it.
I suppose it's fitting... as a place to bury that abomination.
Section 101024
We've seen our share of sacrifice. But we always knew there would be a cost.
I ask myself how I’m still alive...and all I can think is "sheer luck".
Section 101025
The time has come.
Let's finish this.
Section 101026
My instincts are telling me—this battle will be the last.
One thing... I couldn't have done it alone.
Section 101027
The stakes have risen. But I am as calm as I've ever been. Calmer, perhaps.
Makes no sense, but it's true.
Section 101029
Hmm. Something else?
Section 101030
Go on, have your fill.
Section 101031
When do we fight?
Section 101032
The Night could swallow us at any moment.
Don't expect me to show the fiends any mercy.
Section 101033
I'm well-acquainted with all types of arms.
I can make use of any weapons you find troublesome.

Journal[]

Journal entries  
Chapter 1
The Wylder departed from his faraway home, braving the sea of fog to reach Limveld.

A Nightfarer's forays wither the soul and cloud recollection, causing one night to bleed into the next. But of one thing he remained certain.

That he must track down the Nightlord, and bury it. There was no choice.

He repeated the words to himself, all the while clenching a precious object in his hand. A solitary earring, its counterpart long lost.
Chapter 2
In a corner of the Roundtable Hold, light shines in through the ceiling to a dimly-lit room.

There stood the Wylder, holding the solitary earring up to the light, casting a pattern on the wall that he could not comprehend.

The Wylder was sure that it was some word, or perhaps a phrase, but he could not recall it.

Where had he misplaced the earring? If he only had its counterpart, surely the meaning could be divined.
Chapter 3
He dreamt of his home.

Two horses galloping across Windwail Knoll. They were a healthy pair of twins, which was rare. To the Wylder, and to         , the horses were special.

Upon a hill they ran abreast. He looked at her, hair dancing in the wind, and saw the earring on her left ear. But he could not recall a face.

"My lord Wylder, how are you today?"

The voice of the Iron Menial awakened him. Time for another errand, no doubt.
Chapter 4
Clutching the now solitary earring, the Wylder drifted off into sleep.

The sun was setting on Windwail Knoll, and as if in deference to its name, a gale howled.

The dreaded winter was approaching. By the time of the first frost, he knew that his sister would be far along her journey.

The Wylder fell silent, and         , flashing her signature smile, flicked her earring with her finger.

"Good bye for now, dear brother. Once we're done, we'll meet again."

He could not remember her name, but he always remembered these parting words.
Chapter 5
The Wylder continued to fight, never mentioning his younger sister. There was no way forward except to soldier through the war at hand.

He returned to the Roundtable Hold that day to discover a note from the Iron Menial.

"I've considered what might explain your singular obsession with that earring.

Then it came to me. The two of you... possess a striking likeness. So much so that I simply cannot deny it.

There is something that you must know. Please check the study."
Chapter 6
The Wylder had the same dream time and time again.

A long night persists, driving his clansfolk to madness. After a horrific battle, all that remains upon Windwail Knoll is a sea of gravestones. After the deaths of cousin Farhad, Little Shirin, and his own father, the clan's chieftain, the Wylder discovers that only he remains.

And now, only he can avenge his clan. Only he can bring an end to the Night. But even if he can...

"Once we're done, it will be goodbye."

Even if the Night were extinguished, the twin horses will never gallop aside one another again.
Chapter 7
Holding his greatsword, the Wylder drifted off to sleep.

Out of nowhere, he heard the rustle of cloth, then the clink of something being placed on the table.

The Wylder awoke, and slowly sat up.
Chapter 8
The Silver Tear he grasped gently throbbed. The Wylder discovered a familiar brooch by his belongings.

In his tribe, when one warrior gave such a gift to another, it was a promise to ever fight side-by-side, whether separated by land or sea. Did his young sister remember such customs?

He pinned the brooch to his coat, as was their practice, and gently placed his hand upon it.

"Once we're done, it'll be goodbye."

He knew the twin horses would never run free again, as once they did, side by side. But perhaps just one could gallop onward.
Chapter 9
ERN Icon Journal Wylder Chapter 9

After a time, a new Nightlord came to be.

The Roundtable Hold, spared from annihilation, would be formed anew. In preparation for a new Night.

But would it be enough to free the Priestess? He would never know.

The Nightlord lumbered on. Indifferent to whether or not the twin horses would ever ride again.
