Dialogue
- Xona: This still needs another round of polishing... Oh, hello. Are you looking to buy? I'm afraid we're not taking new requests at the moment — things are too busy as is — but you can look at the stock we've already got.
Are you a blacksmith?
- Xona: Indeed I am, the name's Xona, blacksmith for the Collective of Plenty. My family's worked the forge for generations — plowshares, weapons, pretty much every piece of metal in this tribe has been shaped by me or my ancestors.
- Xona: Our warriors might prefer wrestling with their bare hands, but when it comes to fighting the Abyss, weapons are a must.
- Xona: I was raised at my father's forge, learning to take cold metal and work it into our traditional tribal weapons of war.
- Xona: Strong, practical, nothing flashy, that's our weapons are known for. Every blade, no matter how sharp, still relies on a warrior's strength.
Why do people from the Collective of Plenty prefer fighting with their bare hands?
- Xona: Ah, well... That all goes back to our founder.
- Xona: The Collective of Plenty's founder — as well as the original recipient of the Ancient Name of "Power" — was the hero Ahpub, who once journeyed alongside the first Pyro Archon, Lord Xbalanque.
- Xona: Och-Kan, the tyrant who later went on the usurp control over the Grand Alliance, was once his most trusted companion. But that was before Och-Kan became a tyrant, of course, and before he'd done anything wrong.
- Xona: After Lord Xbalanque entered the Sacred Flame, Ahpub's misplaced trust in the tyrant Och-Kan led him to accept a request from the latter, and he wound up leading an army to attack the innocent Children of Echoes.
- Xona: At that time, the chief of the Children of Echoes was his very own sister. To prevent the death of ordinary soldiers, she threw herself directly onto her brother's sword, attempting to force him into taking their own lives together...
- Xona: *sigh* Can you imaging what that must have been like? I cannot even begin to do so. Some still call the people of the Collective of Plenty stubborn, but compared to the Children of Echoes...
- Xona: The legends claim that the siblings survived — and, having uncovered the tyrants plot to stir up discord, fled together to a distant land. Yet from that day on, the Collective of Plenty's perspective on weapons was forever transformed.
- Xona: Of course, when battling against the Abyss, we all still rely upon our weapons — but that history is why, in daily life and combat training, we're more inclined towards fighting with our bare hands.
- Xona: Wrestling allows people to engage in direct confrontation, an open and aboveboard contest of skill and strength, with no deadly blades or the threat of death hanging over them.
- Xona: In a way, it's also a warning to us all. Weapons ought only to be used for righteous purposes, no to determine the outcome of disputes between us.

- About your forging materials...
- Xona: Oh? Interested the materials, are you?
- Xona: Most of the ore I have comes from the Children of Echoes. It's hard and tough, much better for forging than anything you'll find in the volcanic rock around here.
- Xona: These materials are... How should I put it? They're like the Children of Echoes themselves — obstinate and unyielding, yet loyal and dependable in battle.
- Xona: I've got Xilonen to thank for that... She's the blacksmith for the Children of Echoes. Her talents far exceed my own, and she was the one who recommended these ores to me.
- Xona: All that's to say, if you're really interested in these materials, you should pay a visit to the Children of Echoes yourself. You may well find something even better there.
- The fence here seems to be broken...
- Xona: Huh? Ah, of course! That rampaging Tatankasaurus must have smashed into the fence just now...
- Xona: Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Once I've finished forging these, I'll get to fixing it. *sigh* I hope that reckless little fella didn't hurt itself...
- See you.
- Xona: Alright then. Take care!
