SAM: Do you know by whom?
MATT: “Well, at first we thought it was maybe the
dire beasts of the wood around us, but our
"internal priest was able to divine the source of
their demise. In other words, at the hands of the Jagentoths.”
SAM: The who? What?
ASHLY: It’s the family that controls the Iron
Shepherds.
SAM: The Jagendoths?
ASHLY: The Jagentoths.
MATT: “Now we’ve– as you seem to know this well.”

you, I can tell.”
LIAM: No, I appreciate hearing the old tongue

MATT: She says to you in Zemnian, “Well, stick
