Patron	Audio	Transcription
Amber Hand		You were given a second chance, Shiv. Don't squander it.
		Your agency was taken from you, Shiv, but I can help you get it back. Summon me.
		Many men would kill for the gift you're looking to purge. Nonetheless, complete the ritual and I will give you what you seek.
		The Baxter Society has given you purpose, but there is something still missing, yes? Free me and I will help you.
		There's a hole in you, Shiv, that yearns to be filled. Complete the ritual and be made complete.
Sapphire Flame		Shiv, you are a marriage of style and substance. Summon me and earn your reward.
		Complete the ritual, Shiv, and your kingdom will be built atop the bodies of your enemies.
		You've been many things, Shiv. A brigand, a father, a killer. But if you summon me, I'll make you a king.
		Shiv, the monster inside you is not the Beast, it is ambition. Complete the ritual and you will finally be sated.
		A lifespan looking over your shoulder is no life at all. Summon me, Shiv, and know that your future is secure.
		The Baxter Society is counting on you, Shiv. Don't fail your brothers.
		I know you fear your brothers and sisters in the Baxter Society turning on you. But if you complete the Ritual, I can ensure you that never happens.
