Dancing Bloodtusk Ravine Emissary
Surprised to see me? I bet you are! The Knights were too, and they tried to throw me out! If it weren't for Zhoom, I would be banging on the gates. Even if I did twist Sokrakiis arm into letting me go in his place, I still have an invitation from the Queen! She has a lot of explaining to do! I-I heard it from travelers passing through Bloodtusk Ravine. The Ashray Elves were wiped out…one of my friends, Aquella, might have been one of them.
Aquella
It's written all over your face. you know what happened to the Ashray Water Elves, and to Aquella. She visited Bloodtusk Ravine during the Solar Festival, and we became friends. I was making a dress to give Aquella when she visited again, but she never did. Instead, the Water Elves that lived in a nearby lake came to warn us that Greenguard had harmed their kin from Ashray…and that they might harm ours, too.
Trolls
After we heard about what happened to the Ashray Elves, Sokrakiis gathered all the Trolls to discuss how we should react. We were trying to stay calm, but everybody was scared. Greenguard's gotten a lot stronger recently, and we're still recovering from all the wounds Chaos left. The best course of action is to ask the Queen what she's doing, and accompany a Water Elf to help them be heard. That's why I'm here with Durance!
Horcs
The Horcs are barricading themselves behind their side of the Ravine. We thought they were gearing up to attack, but it looks like they're being careful, too. When I was about to leave for the summit, Kagg gave me a list of the Horcs' concerns to bring before the Queen. He's worried that if his tribe sends a messenger, they'd be mauled for being a Horc. With the way that some of these Nobles are eyeing us, I don't think he's wrong.
Carnaval Troll
Are you ready to… SAMBA?! Dance your way through the streets of Battleon and the towns of Loer, because Carnaval is here and it's time to PARTY! So grab your firesticks, /equip your armored plumage and get ready to samba samba SAMBA the night away!
Talk
We can't wait to start our annual Carnaval celebration! I love the parades, the music, the food and especially the DANCIN'! (Not to mention all the bright colors and - and FEATHERS! /squeal) If you want to dance through Carnaval along with me and all your fellow Heores, why not stop by Samba's School of Dance in Bloodtusk Ravine?
- Carnaval!
Dance Adept
Hellooooo! And WELCOME to my School of the Dance! Are you ready to samba, samba, samba? Yes? Yes? Excellent! I will teach you to shimmy, shake, and shock your friends and family! Well, maybe not shock. The town's rulers wouldn't approve of that. But *wink* never fear. We'll get you bumpin' to the beat here!
Talk
I LOVE to daaaaance! My school is open to the public in the evenings for fun and wholesome fraternization, as outlined by the elders' Social Code of Conduct. (They could benefit by letting loose here every once in a while, but that's just my opinion!)
I am always interested in learning the dances of far-away places, so if you happen to pick up any on your travels, please show them to me! If you do, I'll treat you to my favorite dish at Oishii's: Mar'landic Khrub. It's deeee-lish!
Learn to Dance
Helloooo, Hero! You've come to /samba the day away, haven't you? What? You don't know HOW? We'll fix that right away! You just come on over and we'll get you shimmyin' and shakin' until your bones are quakin'! And once you have completed my minigame dance lesson, you'll be able to use the /samba emote! This is the only way to unlock it!
- Dance
Rumors
I hear EVERYthing that goes on here! From Dregas' charging extra to paint portraits of… less-attractive… Troll matrons to Bachius strirring up trouble with the youngsters. Telling them anti-Horc tales. I don't hold with that; if I had my way, we'd all dance together happily, in peace. But some Trolls… it's sad. And I don't like sad things. So no more on this topic!

Hero! Have you come to dance the night away? You DO want to learn how to samba, don't you? Dancing is a GREAT way to burn off stresses of the battlefield… or the lab. I have a feeling we're going to be working very hard for a long, long time to cure Chaorruption. Why not tango as we tally results?

I'm sure you've often dined at Yulgar's Inn, Hero. But to show you his gratitude, he'd like to share the Harvest Festival with you and his family - his daughter, Aria, and his mother, Grams! She retired a while back, but I have a feeling she'll be pretty feisty at the Feast!

Oh MAN - I cannot believe that the the Twins were able to Chaorrupt King Alteon’s very own soldiers! I have a feeling security in the Castle is going to get a LOT tighter from now on. He put out quite a spread, though. I can understand why his Knights wanted to join in!
Artix has invited the greatest Heroes of Lore to dine with him and his parents. I’ve heard rumors about them, though… could they REALLY be zombehs? I can’t imagine what THAT Feast is going to feature as a main course!

Trying to Avoid a Major Disaster
What a headache! I don't know how it happened, but TWO parades are scheduled to happen at the same time today - right here, on the same street! How are we gonna fix this mess?
2 Parades?
Yokai New Year and Carnaval always happen around the same time, but their parades have never been scheduled right on top of each other before. And now the parade emcees are fighting over who gets to stay!
Emcees?
Fausto and Lengjing, the Masters of Ceremonies for Carnaval and Yokai, respectively. Please, can you talk some sense into them? Start with Fausto - just head left and go all the way to the end of the street.

Former Queen of Drums
You're just who I wanted to see! Carnaval is right around the corner and my school of dance is raring to go! Tons of people from all over Lore came to learn my moves, and now we're big enough to compete with other dance schools. We picked out a theme, but still need to gather materials to make our costumes. If you lend us a hand, I'll make your outfit extra flashy!
Schools
Samba's School of Dance is shaking it up in Bloodtusk Ravine, but we aren't the only place you can go to learn. I tour other dance schools and share moves but Carnaval is different. Every school, including ours, has been practicing nonstop to compete during the climax of the event. My school's chosen our star dancers, but we still need to handcraft the costumes.
Flagbearer
The Flag-Bearer is the dancer who represents their school in the Carnaval's competition. She and her partner, the Master of Ceremonies, wear handmade costumes and samba their way to victory! It's a little complicated. Our Flag-Bearer can't let her flag curl or touch their bodies, and the partners can only communicate through dance. Not to mention our Carnaval involves light combat.
Theme
All of the people who came to my school had such a good time that they spread the word. I'm floored by how many people from outside of Bloodtusk Ravine came to dance with me! It isn't just trolls, either. We have humans, elves, dwarves, and all sorts! I want to make us the theme of our dance and costume - a samba that exists because we all met! That's why I'm looking for costume materials from all of our hometowns.

Lovely Carnaval Queen
We'll never be able to free Naipi and Taruba with their godly third wheel giving us the death glare. That's where the Carnaval parade comes in! We're going to distract M'Boi. Help me get the dancers ready, and we'll be able to get REALLY get this show on the road!
Talk
This Carnaval's going to be one for the history books!
Yguasu
This is the Yguasu River. Long ago, the serpentine god M'Boi fell in love with a woman named Naipi, but she was already engaged to the warrior Taruba. The pair tried to escape the god by canoeing down the Yguasu, but the ground split into a gigantic waterfall. When she was tossed from her boat, M'boi transformed Naipi into a rock. Taruba reached out to her, but he was turned into a palm tree, stuck on the opposite side of the river.
Plan
Big Daddy knocked on the door of my dance school, and asked me to help flip the tragedy of Naipi and Taruba. Our plan is to distract M'Boi with a Carnaval 'dedicated' to him while Big Daddy undoes the curse on the lovers. My students and I are super motivated! We've known the story of the Yguasu River since we were little kids. The most we could do was place Taruba's palm tree leaves on Naipi's rock. Now, we can save them!
Big Daddy
Big Daddy's a celeb in my circles! I heard that if you send him a nice letter, he'll go out of his way to officiate your wedding! Someone like that is worth trusting. When he came to the Carnaval organizers for help, we jumped at the opportunity. Actually, this might be one of his first stops. Big Daddy has this whole list of tragic love stories he wants to lend a helping hand to. Love the passion! I wonder if he'd drop by for a dance lesson or two.

W-wait, don't look at my face yet! Seeing Taruba and Naipi dancing together made me tear up again. Wow, I didn't know I could cry this much over something happy! It's going to be so embarrassing when I reunite with old students, or see Aquella again. Whew, fanning my face isn't doing anything, so I might as well dance it off. C'mon, it's a Carnaval Fairy Tale for the books! Let's samba!!
