Synopsis:
Default camp dialog for Shadowheart's dad. He has started to recover from her ordeal in the Shar grotto.
He has unique branches for Shadowheart and non-Shadowheart players, as well as branches that occur before and after CAMP_Shadowheart_DaughterTears, in which SH and her parents have their first proper heart to heart following their reunion.
How to trigger:
1. Add Shadowheart's dad to the camp
2, Talk to him
5. : Shadowheart, my darling. All is well, I hope.CAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_Hasmet, NIGHT_Shadowheart_DaughterTears, REALLY_SHADOWHEART

9. : I'm starting to feel like my old self again. And Jen - I mean Shadowheart - has been able to unbottle some of the feelings that Shar denied to her.NIGHT_Shadowheart_DaughterTearsCAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_Hasmet
82. : A great deal of damage was done to our family, but we can still heal.
26. Player: What comes next for you?
38. : My wife will need care. I wish to find somewhere quiet, close to nature. Where the sun can warm us, and the moon can watch over us as we sleep.
36. : And Shadowheart too may wish to join us perhaps, with her fine paramour at her side - once you've put down this 'Absolute' threat together.ORI_State_PartneredWithShadowheart
30. : And Shadowheart too may wish to join us perhaps, once she's helped you put down this 'Absolute' threat.
86. : I've gleaned enough from word around this camp to know you're more than capable. You will prevail.
22. Player: You accept your daughter's choice of name?CAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_NameFollowup = FalseCAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_NameFollowup
92. : Of course. Only a fool would alienate his child over a name. Shadowheart must determine her own path - that is what the Moonmaiden teaches.
1. : Still, I am... unused to it. I can only hope she forgives a slip of the tongue now and again, until I adapt.
46. Player: So you're a lycanthrope? Shadowheart shared some of her memories with me.CAMP_ShadowheartFather_DiscussedLycan = FalseCAMP_ShadowheartFather_DiscussedLycan
111. : I am, but with Selûne's guidance, I learned how to control the beast long ago - I only let it loose again when my family was threatened.
106. : Unfortunately I was unable to stop what befell us, as neither elf nor wolf.
98. Player: What happened during all those years? What did they make your daughter do to you?CAMP_ShadowheartFather_DiscussedPast = FalseCAMP_ShadowheartFather_DiscussedPast

67. Player: Leave.End
15. : You've shown great kindness, allowing my wife and I to remain with you. Thank you. I'm glad Jenevelle found you.NIGHT_Shadowheart_DaughterTears = FalseCAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_Hasmet
71. Player: As am I.
10. : You are more than just a friend to her, aren't you? I saw the way she looked at you. It reminded me of her mother, when we first met.ORI_State_PartneredWithShadowheart
29. : Don't worry - I am truly glad she found you, and I have scant energy to play the stern father.

91. : There must be stories you could tell... but perhaps another time.
73. Player: That name - I'm still not used to hearing it.
80. : Nor is Jenevelle. Perhaps that is something I shall need to talk to her about, when the time is right.
112. : I'm afraid my strength has not returned just yet. Decades in that place has left me maimed, body and soul.
35. : Some rest, perhaps, will make me better company.End
18. Player: How is your wife - Emmeline?
57. : She is strong... but she is also human. The years were harder on her than on me, in both body and mind. Shar's pit robbed us of precious time we can never have back.
37. : Whatever we have left, I must make count for double - triple. But later, perhaps. I still need time to recover my strength.

62. Player: What comes now?
40. : Whatever Jenevelle wishes of us. She still has other fights. But when she's ready, we'll be there. To be a family again.

94. : I'm sorry, but what happened in that room... it must stay within the family. Just know that we endured, and are grateful for your help.devnote
48. : We will talk again soon, my sweet. Once I've had some time to gather myself.CAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_Hasmet, NIGHT_Shadowheart_DaughterTears = False, REALLY_SHADOWHEARTEnd

6. : I had promised you we would catch up once I'd rested - perhaps there's something you wish to ask about.
60. Player: What really happened that night in the woods, when I was abducted?CAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_DiscussedAbduction = FalseCAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_DiscussedAbduction
104. : You were to come of age that night - left alone in the woods, and using only Selûne's guidance to find your way back to us.
100. : But you were not alone in the woods. We caught a Sharran spy near our village, and learned that his accomplices sought to abduct you.
97. : I had to find you - to bring you home - and I had to do it quickly. In my haste, I made a terrible mistake.
54. : I took on my wolf-form to cover the ground more quickly. And it worked - I followed your scent, and reached you before the Sharrans could.
16. : But when I found you, you did not see your father, rushing to save you - you only saw a wolf, hunting you in the darkness.
95. : I should have told you of my curse before that night. Then... everything would have been different.
66. : You panicked, and before I could explain, the Sharrans found us. Father and daughter. Wolf and prey.
70. : They took us both.
39. : When I awakened, you were gone, but your mother was with me. They were spiriting us away to the city, hidden and bound.
76. : That should have been the day you came of age, and into the Moonmaiden's teachings.
44. : Instead, the Sharrans used us to teach you different lessons. Painful lessons.
61. Player: How is it you could transform into a wolf at will?
81. : The Moonmaiden's blessings are many. She taught me to control the curse - but she could not teach me to control my paternal instincts.
59. : The failing was mine.
43. Player: I'm sorry. This would never have happened if I hadn't been frightened, if I hadn't ran.
7. : You must not blame yourself. You were a child; your mother and I were supposed to protect you.
12. : We grew complacent - underestimated the depths of Shar's bitterness, the fanaticism of her followers.
83. : But perhaps this was always meant to be. Perhaps the Moonmaiden's path was merely longer for you than we knew.

27. Player: Why did nobody else help you? Or come to search for us?
24. : Perhaps they did - ours was a small community, spread thin.
34. Player: All these years... you were so close by. And I did nothing.
31. : You could have done nothing back then - not without putting yourself in danger. The Moonmaiden guided you in her own time.

102. Player: You're not upset, are you? About my name?CAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_NameFollowup = FalseCAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_NameFollowup
109. : A name is nothing. Your happiness is what matters. Just... forgive your father the occasional slip of the tongue. I will adapt, given time.
42. Player: If you're a lycanthrope, does that mean I am also?CAMP_ShadowheartFather_DiscussedLycan = FalseCAMP_ShadowheartFather_DiscussedLycan
3. : Well it depends - do you find yourself more hirsute at certain times, craving warm flesh? Actually no - spare your father the answer to that.
110. : I am a lycanthrope, but your mother is not. It was a toss of the coin to determine if you inherited that side of me.
89. : If you have not changed after all this time, I believe you are safe.
64. Player: What comes next for us?
52. : I've heard enough about this 'Absolute' threat to understand it cannot be ignored. Your mother and I can wait until you prevail - and I know you will.
90. : Beyond that, your mother will need my care - and yours too, if you wish to join us.
69. : Somewhere quiet, close to nature. Where the sun can warm us, and the moon can watch over us as we sleep.
79. Player: You promised you'd tell me what I did to you both. I'm ready to hear it now.CAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_SHTortureHistoryDone = False, CAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_SHAskedAboutTortureCAMP_ShadowheartFather_Event_SHTortureHistoryDone

50. : Are you sure, Shadowheart...? Picking at old wounds may not serve any purpose...devnote
56. Player: Please. I need to understand, if I'm to move on.
4. : Very well... but I shall not wallow in ugly details. That is what they would have wanted - to have let their physical torments live on in our spirits. I will not allow that.devnote
63. : They had you use us for... practice. All the techniques that the Sharrans hold pride in. Trickery, interrogation... torture. They even had you, our own daughter, try to convert us.devnote
87. : The worst part was not anything you did to us - it is what they had done to you. You didn't recognise us. Those eyes I had wiped tears from now looked at me like a stranger.
88. : I... I feared I would give in then, but your mother's strength bolstered me. She never gave up calling you daughter, no matter what you said. Or did.
13. : We were still a family, in that room. Suffering. Enduring. But we did not give up. Your mother and I swore we would see the look of recognition in your eyes once again. And we did.
47. Player: I'm sorry.
51. : Don't be. Knowing you were out there gave us the strength to hold on. And you returned to us, just like you were supposed to, all that time ago.devnote
21. Player: How did you both go on like that? I could never have the strength...
14. : Knowing you were out there still was enough to sustain us. And you are stronger than us both, daughter. We merely had to endure - you had to choose your path. One that brought you back to us, at last.devnote
45. Player: What about the wound on my hand? Was that to hurt me, or you?
28. : Both. They marked you before our eyes. They said it would discipline you for straying, while extending our torment also.
103. : Not just with the pain, but with the knowledge that every time we felt it, your true self was being punished, for trying to break through their indoctrination.
96. Player: I've heard enough.
