Talk to Zavala

• Speak to Zavala in the Hall of Guardians at the Tower

"There is no doctrine but defense. If the City is to stand, every response must be measured. Every attack calculated. Every body block followed by a devasting finale.

If the City is to survive, it must be unquestioned. The Walls must stand. No matter the cost." - Zavala

But that's what it takes. If the choice is between you or the Wall? You break." - Kabr
