We came here with... No, we're just folks from all across Tara seeking refuge. Not a one of us is qualified to join you. We're just looking for a place to stay for a day or two.

I promise you, we'll follow your laws and customs as best we can. We won't trouble you any more than we already have.

Winter's just around the corner, too. I'm not too sure if your people hold harvest festivals, but if you need any help, please, feel free to ask.

...Samhain. That is the true name of what you call the 'harvest festival'.

It would seem you really are different from the cityfolk.

There are some abandoned huts outside the ruins. You may clean them and stay there.

Thank you. Or rather, 'go raibh maith agat.'

Is there anything else, Nemos?

The Dublinners in the city want to hold a victory party to celebrate Tara's liberation.

I promised them I'd ask you for some of the sacred instruments. They'd show Taran unity, and represent the importance of tradition to the nation.

With Samhain almost upon us, we have none to spare. Have you forgotten? But even if we did, we would not give them away.

They're only requesting them because of how much they value the old ways...

Then why is it that not a single denizen of Na Saoirsí has come to us to request a funeral since the city became independent?

We can tell the difference between remembering a name once forgotten, and dressing yourself up in a name you've read in a history book.

But if you cannot return empty-handed, then take this whistle and go.

This is... just an ordinary whistle...

It is the highest honor we can give them.

The wakemen do not stand with the living, nor do we require their reverence. Until, of course, they are dead.

<i>That</i> is the tradition Dublinn should be honoring.
