You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Hail to you as well <player's race>.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, '<Player Name> is it? Well I'll be... didn't think it'd be this easy.'

You say, 'Sorry come again?'

Rouf's companion Friet speaks up. 'This is it? The bet is as good as won!'

You say, 'Did I miss something?

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Heh, maybe a bit. See me and Friet were just talkin about what exactly a Judges real job is.'

You say, 'Oh? What does this have to do with me?

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'A bit of nothing, and a bit of everything I suppose... tell me <Player Name>... I know I haven't seen ya before, but you seem like a devout follower of Althuna... can you tell me exactly what you think a Judge does?

You say, 'To be honest, I'm not really sure at all.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Interesting... <Player Name>, I'm gonna make yer life really difficult, because I personally believe my job is to change things fer the better. I don't know if thats really how I should do things, but thats how I feel. I'm gonna put in a recommendation for you to join the Rose Squadron. You'll need a second one but-'

You say, '*cough* Sorry, continue, didn't mean to interupt.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Well interupt ya did. As I was saying, Eisa won't usually take on recruits as old as you, but if she gets a couple recommendations she has no choice. I want ya in thar for mah own reasons, but we'll need another. Hope ya don't mind runnin delivery boy a bit.'

You say, 'Not at all Honorable Judge.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Excellent! I knew I saw ya right. Find High Priest Rodger, he is usually around the library in the Inner City, and bring him this letter. I am sure you won't dissapoint, <Player Name>, but be careful... they always start Small...'

Friet Stonemind says, 'Please... how is this supposed to help anything? You're crazy, Rouf. <Player Name> isn't gonna be-

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Hush. Let em be.

You recieve High Priest's Letter from Judge Rouf Stoutmane.

Find and give High Priest's Letter to High Priest Rodger (City of Mercy  at -2039, 848, 56  • Roams Inner City, Library (Passes by the doorway)) .

High Priest Rodger takes the letter from you, sees Rouf's seal on it and nods to himself. 'I see. I wonder what the old coot has planned. Ah well, we all dance for someone. <Player Name>, do me a favor, and find an old friend of mine, Eskos Naldeen. Say to him, EXACTLY as I say it 'We are still waiting for you'. Tell him that. I don't know where Eskos is these days, but I'd imagine he must have settled in some town by now.'

You gain 500 experience!!

Find Eskos Naldeen (Athica  at 0, -220, 3  • Outside PAL guild) .

You say, 'We are still waiting for you.

Eskos Naldeen looks at you, but defeat is in his eyes. 'I... I just can't <Player Name>... tell him that. I won't be coming back. Not now or ever. Whatever Rodger wants done, he should find someone else... sorry to have wasted your time.

Return to High Priest Rodger.

You say, 'Hail, High Priest Rodger.'

High Priest Rodger sighs. 'I can tell by the look in your eyes that you have failed... its ok I wasn't reallly expecting anything more. I suppose if the best man for the job isn't availible, you make do, wouldn't you agree <Player Name>?

You say, 'What job? Care to clue me in?'

High Priest Rodger looks at you. 'Well... I suppose I'll trust the dwarf... who knows, maybe you'll surprise me. Ok here are a few coins like I promised. I've decided to give you my recommendation for the Rose Squadron. Go talk to Eisa, she's at one of the barracks. She'll be expecting you, but that will likely only make things harder for you. Go there and don't dissappoint. We'll see how much the dwarf really knows...'

Find Eisa of the Rose (City of Mercy  at -1529, -1379, 57  • Patrols South East, near the barracks) .

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'You are it? You have got to be kidding me... the rest of the crew will wreck you! What are Rouf and Rodger thinking... they get more daft every day. Seriously if I had you in my squad our reputation would begin an endless spiral towards-'

You say, 'Excuse me ma'am, but I would appreciate it if you would give me a chance.'

Eisa of the Rose laughs. 'You wouldn't last a minute with my newest recruit.'

You say, 'I'll take that challenge.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Privae Reeve, front and center! You got a challenger! Talk to him when you're ready.'

You say, 'Hail, Private Reeve.'

Private Reeve says, 'Ha! I'll make short work of you. I'm one of Captain Aiden and Duke Thanes hand selected candidates .'

You say, 'Who and who?'

Private Reeve gasps in amazement. 'Duke Thanes... the head crusader of Althuna. Her greatest champion. The Righteous One. Slayer of the Decadent. Defender of the law. And his favored Captain, Aiden. What kind of recruit are you!'

You say, 'Out of the loop clearly... are you ready to fight?'

Note: When she spawns a test npc make sure to remove damage shields/ pets/ and do not auto attack. Also make sure that you also turn your back to him if you have riposte. Just stand there for 60 seconds.

Eisa of the Rose shouts, 'Enough! The fight is over! You lose Reeve. And we will have a talk about your behavior...'

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Well done <Player Name>. Even with the Private acting in an unhonorable way, you still came out ahead. I approve of you a bit more now. We do have another problem though.'

You say, 'Anything involving me?'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'All about you in fact. Look at that gear you are wearing! Ridiculous. If you want to be a member of the Rose Squadron, you better dress like a member of the Rose Squadron. Go find Smith Mithrilhart and ask him for a Rose Squadron package. I'll send out Reeve to let him know you're coming.'

Find Smith Mithrilhart (City of Mercy  at 100, -950  • Inside the top "merchant shop," on the outside circle, northmost building set.) .

You say, Hail, Smith Mithrilhart.'

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'Hmph. You are Eisa's new recruit? Whatever.'

You say, 'I was told you had gear for me.'

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'Ya... well maybe I don't.'

You say, 'Ya... well do you?'

Smith Mithilhart says, 'No.

You say, 'Care to elaborate? Maybe I can help.'

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'Fine. Well we usually get our deliveries from the Silvercrown outta the Oggok mines. Been some trouble there lately, and prices are up alot, but thats not really the issue. The shipment left Oggok, and was going toward Freeport, but the merchants never arrived.

You say, 'Thats terrible! Did they find out what happened to him.'

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'No, no they didn't. And now I have no supplies. It was really lose lose.'

Find Merchant's Corpse (Southern Waste of Tarhyl  at 478, 555  • North of the Dawn Tribe orc camp) . Hail it and kill a brazen bandit that spawn.

Loot and give Mercy Runed Crate to Smith Mithrilhart.

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'Well I'll be... you're more resourceful than you look! Well here then, as it turns out I do have some armor left over. Its all yours, free of charge.'

You receive Rose Squadron Uniform from Smith Mithrilhart.

Return to Eisa of the Rose.

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'I heard what you did in the desert <Player Name>, thats really impressive. I mean it. Most people would have come back to me for orders, and many would punish you for going out on your own, but I like that in a recruit. Too many people these days are complacent... apathetic really. They won't act until they have no choice, and its far too late by then'

You say, 'Thank you Ma'am'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Yes, well you've certainly passed my first two tests, even if I didn't really give them to you, both mercy and bravery. Your next lesson will be survival. You up for this?

You say, 'Yes I am Ma'am'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'I like the attitude at least. I am going to be sending you and a few other recruits to meet with the ranger, Vicks Sureshot. He'll take you on a simple overnight in the Sea of Swords. He should be stationed near the silvercrown, but far enough away from them, that they shouldn't interfere with the lessons. Go meet him out there, and do as he says. Survival is one of the more important lessons you can learn'

Three Tasks for the Tracker

Find Tracker Vicks Sureshot (Sea of Swords  at 562, -9856  • Silver Crown island) .

You say, 'Hail, Tracker Vicks Sureshot.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Ha... Ha ha... Ha ha ha hah! Ha ha ha ha ha ha hah!'

You say, 'Do we have a problem here?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Oh man... this is what she sent? I can't believe it. She has a great sense of humor!'

You say, 'Whats wrong with me?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'You are an Althuna worshipper? Tell me, when do you get to a high enough rank for them to shove a rod up your rear! Ha ha hah!'

You say, 'You aren't a fan of Althuna's worshippers?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Heh you could say that. I've worked with Duke Thanes alot in the past, hunting criminals and the like. Not saying you are all like him, but MAN he doesn't make any of ya look good. You just seemed a bit different was all.'

You say, 'Oh thank you!'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Wasn't a compliment. You look too weak to have made the cut.'

You say, 'Whatever. I'm here for your survival program.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Ya... of course I got your name on my list... being that you are late of course, I already sent the recruits over to the next island. Hope you swim. When you are ready to go, Tell me.'

You say, 'I am ready to go.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Ok, follow me then. Hope you like to swim.'

Follow Tracker Vicks Sureshot

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Time to get wet!'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'The recruits! They are under attack! Hurry don't let any of them die!'

Kill the ambushing reptitus.

Note: Do not allow any of the recruits to die.

You say, 'Hail, Tracker Vicks Sureshot.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Damn that was close. You are a pretty good fighter. Listen I gotta tend to the wounds of the others, but you still look fairly fit. Go over to the lizards home island to the south of here and teach them what it means when you mess with us! 20 of them should be enough to make them think twice about attacking us!'

Kill 20 lizards, then return to Tracker Vicks Sureshot.

Note: Quest flagged character must get the killshot. There is no emote or quest update so count them in your head.

You say, 'Hail, Tracker Vicks Sureshot.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'That will show them to show there face around here again! Listen you clearly don't need survival training, so if you do me this one more favor, then I'll just check your box and give you flying colors.'

You say, 'That sounds fine to me, what do you want done?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Pirates my friend. No one likes pirates, nobody. They have been hitting Silvercrown ships, and if I can do something about them, they'll agree to 'forget' a little debt I may or may not have. But I gotta stick with the recruits... Do what ya did to the lizards, to the pirates. Take out 20 of them. That'll curtail their escapades for a little while.'

Kill 20 pirates, then return to Tracker Vicks Sureshot.

Note: Quest flagged character must get the killshot. There is no emote or quest update so count them in your head.

You say, 'Hail, Tracker Vicks Sureshot.'

racker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Ah you are a godsend <Player Name>! I'll let Eisa know that there is very little we can teach you about being strong and brave. Go talk to her again. And thanks. I'll remember this.'

Return to Eisa of the Rose.

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Well, well, if it isn't our little scourge of the Sea of Swords. Lizards, pirates, and you saved our comrades? That is really impressive <Player Name>. I am about ready to give you a promotion for all this!'

You say, 'I like the sound of that! Er Ma'am!'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Yes, well you have one more test to pass first. If you do it, then I will officaly recognize you as a Private, and you will be assigned to a Captain for further duties.'

You say, 'Ok, what is the final test?'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'The biggest problem with certain people in this city... in the world really... is a lack of compassion. I don't care how strong you are, you need to know when not to fight too. I wish for you to travel to the King's Pass, and find for me a token of love. I will give you no more clue than that. Find it, read it, and understand it. Bring it back when you have taken its meaning to heart. I don't doubt you will succeed.'

Gather and give Lover's Letter to Eisa of the Rose.

Eisa of the Rose takes the letter from you.'We may never know the full story... but true love knows no bounds. Never confuse it with lust or pure passion. True love is worth dying for, worth protecting. Remember that, if nothing else.' She looks wistfully past you.

You say, 'Are you ok? What is wrong?'

Eisa of the Rose sighs. 'You assignment. I... I don't know what Rouf is thinking. He knows better than this...'

You say, 'I don't understand, what do you mean?'

Eisa of the Rose looks at you. 'First things first. By the power vested in me as a Paladin of Althuna, I hereby grant you the rank of Private, and all the privaledge and responsibilities inherent with the rank.'

You receive Private's Insignia of Althuna from Eisa of the Rose.

You say, 'Thank you for this promotion Ma'am.'

Eisa of the Rose shakes her head. 'Don't thank me. You have been assigned to Captain Aiden, one of Thanes' closest cronies. I was really hoping it would be someone else, but Judge Rouf Stoutmane intervened, and made this happen instead. I don't know why, particularly since he hates Thanes and recommended you to me himself.

You say, 'Can you tell me about Captain Aiden?'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'He is your new superior officer. He is very loyal to Duke Thanes, and likes to keep all his subordinates scrambling to please him. Don't be one of those subordinates <Player Name>, you are better than that. Do what he wants, but don't let it compromise your morals. Promise me that. Captain Aiden can usually be found patrolling near the prison area.'

You say, 'Can you tell me about Duke Thanes?'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Duke Thanes the Righteous... what can I say... he's a zealot, pure and simple. He is by far the most powerful Paladin... most powerful anything mortal really, thats ever served Althuna. He seeks out darkness and destroys it with such vigor and hatred... its frightening. He is also terribly judgemental, no one meets his standards at all. The only one close to him in power was Sir Frostcleave... but thats pretty much a lost cause.'

You say, 'Who is Sir Frostcleave?'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'He was an up and coming young knight. Lots of natural talent, much like Duke Thanes, but had a gentle air about him. Don't let that make you think he's weak, he could match Thanes blow for blow. Regardless since he apparently defected and refused to atone, I suppose its a moot point. We were somewhat foolish to put our hope into him.'

You say, 'Can you tell me about Judge Stoutmane?'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Rouf Stoutmane is the reigning Judge around City of Mercy these days. He is very fair, and very wise, but you have already met him and probably know that. If what you REALLY wanted to know was why he has such interest in you, and clearly wanted you serving under Captain Aiden, I couldn't tell you. Maybe the old coot has finally lost it after they locked up Sir Frostcleave.'

Sgt. Major's Insignia

Find Captain Aiden (City of Mercy  at -1600, -650, -70  • Roams near prison area (south middle)) .

You say, 'Hail, Captain Aiden'

Captain Aiden says, 'Ghugran? Oh yes... my new subordinate... oh... this is not good. Thanes will lose respect for my unit if someone like you is seen in it... what to do..'

You say, 'Say what? I have already proven an effective-'

Captain Aiden shouts, 'DO NOT TALK BACK TO A SUPERIOR OFFICER! Do you understand me Ghugran. Never, ever, ever even consider thinking about talking back to me if you haven't been asked your opinions, and be assured your opinion is not important to me at all!'

You say, 'I am not someone to be trifled with Captain, I'll report this to-'

Captain Aiden says, 'You? Report me? To anyone? Please! My only superior is Duke Thanes the Righteous, and who will he side with? A little dirt like yourself, known for head strong foolishness, running off into the desert or island hopping, without any order too? Or myself, his right hand man for 15 years. Besides I have done nothing but put you in your place, something he would have done with his sword if you had dared speak at him. Oh, or do you mean to the Judge or Lady Rose. I don't answer to them. I only answer to Thanes.'

You say, 'What about Althuna?'

Captain Aiden says, 'I... yes of course. The Lady Althuna as well. Her most just and wise Lady always holds a special place in my heart. And her chosen, her strongest, is Duke Thanes, which you would do well to remember. On an unrelated note I think I figured out what to do with you.'

You say, 'Oh? Do share.'

Captain Aiden says, 'Yes, Private Peters could use a relief man. He's guarding a dangerous criminal we caught out near King's Pass a couple weeks ago. He was tried, judged, and found guilty with no remorse. He awaits execution at the moment.'

You say, 'So you want me to go and guard a prisoner?'

Captain Aiden says, 'Correct. Find Private Peters and tell him he is allowed a break while you watch the prisoner. This is a simple task, so do it perfectly. Do not under any circumstances speak with the prisoner or otherwise interact with him. You will be disciplined if you do.'

Find Private Peters Greaven (City of Mercy  at -1600, -650, -70  • Guards the prison area) .

You say, 'Hail, Private Peters Greaven'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Ah you must be Captain Aidens new page! Glad to meet you. I am Private Peters.'

You say, 'Page...?'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'No need to be shy. I'm ready to be relieved. I'll be back in about ten minutes I think. You just stand here, and don't let anyone in. Its very important work for a Page, so don't mess up. Dangerous criminals are in there, we don't want anyone talking to them.'

You say, 'Ya... you do that.'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Off to the bar! Wonder if Sasha is serving today!'

Find a regretful rogue (City of Mercy  • In a cell, behind Private Peters Greaven) .

You say, 'Hail, a regretful rogue'

a regretful rogue says, 'Uh... why... why are you... you're not Peters...'

You say, 'This is correct.'

a regretful rogue says, 'You realize you are not supposed to talk to me right? You'll get in trouble.'

You say, 'I've been told as much.'

a regretful rogue says, 'Oh really? Brazen for an Althuna follower. Thought you were all just a bunch of sheep.'

You say, 'Thats not really a fair thing to say.'

a regretful rogue says, 'Maybe, but it is true. Only reason I'm in here is because of your no thinking follow orders mentality.'

You say, 'Why are you in here anyway?'

a regretful rogue says, 'Thievery, murder, running from the law, grand theft equine. The usual. Listen you don't seem all that bad for one of them... you should go back to guarding before whats his face returns. You shouldn't get into trouble over me.'

You say, 'For a convicted murder you seem fairly preoccupied with my well being.'

a regretful rogue says, 'I... there is no reason for anyone else to get hurt due to my actions.'

You say, 'Anyone else? What happened.'

a regretful rogue sighs. 'I... we were a pair. And we were going to hit the big on. The Newport Ironforge family... it was going to glorious. Enough to retire. Maybe get a little place in Kelethin... I don't know...

You say, 'We? Who was the other?'

a regretful rogue says, 'She... she was my everything. I'd give anything to know if she made it... I- dammit I hear Peters returning. Listen, I can die in peace if I know she made it. It's all in my journal, I lost it in the struggle on the canyon where they captured me. Near Kings Pass!'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Hey! You aren't supposed to talk to the prisoners! What do you think you are doing!'

a regretful rogue shouts, 'Find her! Please! I beg you! She is my world!'

Private Peters Greaven shouts, 'What are you doing! No one gets in here to see the prisoner! No one!'

You say, 'Hail, Private Peters Greaven'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'I can't believe you disobeyed orders! Obeying the Captain is the most important thing you have to do. Get out of here! And rest assured the Captain will know everything!'

Travel to Eastern Badlands and gather Grant's Journal.

Find Kiera D'unteraux (unknown zone  • unknown loc) .

Note: Zone into Stinger's Bog from Southern Waste of Tarhyl

You swear you hear a whisper up ahead.

You say, 'Hail, Kiera D'unteraux'

Cold... so cold...

A ghost! She's heading to The Halls of Mielech... I need to figure out whats happening...

Kiera D'unteraux moans and gestures towards the halls

Enter Halls of Mielech. She will spawn near the zone line.

Again you hear a whisper and chill in front of you.

You say, 'Hail, Kiera D'unteraux'

Kiera D'unteraux says, 'Knife hurt... trapped...

Kiera D'unteraux sinks into the ground... its going deeper, and deeper... perhaps as far as the Keep...

Enter Keep of Mielech through the most-south-eastern enterance and find Kiera D'unteraux.

The apparition looks at you and wails softly...

You say, 'Hail, Kiera D'unteraux'

Kiera D'unteraux says, 'Corrupted... I ran... so cold.... so many elite... so many evokers...'

Kiera D'unteraux fades away, leaving you to wonder what her last message meant. Perhaps you should investigate here further...

Kill a froglok elite and a froglok evoker until you receive an Elegant Thieves Tools

Return to Private Peters Greaven.

You say, 'Hail, Private Peters Greaven'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Where the hell have you been! You are going to be in so much trouble! The Captain is in a rage. He's been asking everyone about you. You are gonna be stuck in guard duty forever now!'

You say, 'Like you?'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Yah like- Hey! I'll have you know I'm going to have a very important mission from Captain Aiden himself pretty soon. You'll be sorry!'

You say, 'Let me through Peters, I need to speak to the rogue.'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'No, you are not getting through, no matter what. I won't have it. I am steadfast and dependable, nothing will move me. Now leave!'

Give Private Peters Greaven two Vodka Tonic's.

Before you can even say anything, Peters grabs the Vodka Tonics and chugs them both. He smiles at you, then laughs, sways back and forth, and finally falls down.

You say, 'Hail, a regretful rogue'

a regretful rogue says, 'You... nice trick you pulled on Greaves. I... I get a foreboding feeling from you... did you find any sign of Keira?'

Give a regretful rogue an Elegant Thieves Tools and Grant's Journal.

Note: If you just give him the Journal, he will not return it? Possible bug.

a regretful rogue says, 'Oh god... no... this can't be... these were a gift from her instructor. Custom made... I... what do you know?'

You say, '[Tell him all about the mysterious chill, the apparition, and how you got the Thieves tools.]'

a regretful rogue says, 'No! NO! Keira! How could! This is all my fault! This... I have got to get out of here! Can you get the keys off Peters! Get me out of here! I need to avenge her I need to-'

You say, 'Calm down. You'll attract attention with all that noise.'

a regretful rogue says, 'I don't care! My Keira! My dear darkelven beauty is dead! And possibly undead if what you saw was right! Oh damn you Halls of Mielech, and damn you dirty frogs... and I ... I... you won't let me out will you?'

You say, 'No, I can't let you out.'

You hear Peters stirring, he metabolized that liquor fast! The prisoner speaks. 'Listen, if she was leading you it was probably because shes trapped there somehow... she needs help! You're a follower of Althuna, you can't let her suffer!'

Private Peters Greaven yells 'Ouch... my head... I... what in the name of Althuna... You! Talking to him again!'

a regretful rogue shouts, 'You've got to save her! You need to free her! Don't let her suffer for my mistakes! Whatever happens, free save her! Find Burt in Newport! He'll have some idea of what to do!'

Private Peters Greaven yells 'Free who? Dammit get out of there before the Captain arrives!'

Find Burt Wellford (Southern Newport  at 86, 72  • Boat docks, near a dinghy on the beach) .

You say, 'Hail, Burt Wellford'

Burt Wellford says, 'Hello.'

Burt Wellford says, 'Yes?'

You say, 'I was sent here by a friend of yours. Used to pair with a 'Keira

Burt Wellford says, 'Oh shit oh shit! Grant was caught? You... you are from the City of Mercy? Oh god! Why would Grant tell you about me! I didn't do nothing! I swear it was all him!'

You say, 'Calm down! So Grant is his name... this is about Keira though. She needs help and your friend sent me here to get it.'

Burt Wellford says, 'I can't trust you. And if she's in the City of Mercy too, then there is no way she's getting out, not even with an insider.'

You say, 'No, she was killed.'

Burt Wellford says, 'Well... thats the end of her worries.'

You say, 'You are heartless. She appears to be haunting the Halls of Mielech.'

Burt Wellford says, 'Oh shit oh shit! Halls of Mielech! It's over man, let her haunt it forever. Never liked her much anyway! I ain't going anywhere near there.'

You say, 'I'm not here to ask you for anything. I was hoping to get some direction.'

Burt Wellford says, 'Here's a direction. Go home. You got nothing on me, no proof at least. And as for Keira people don't become ghosts for no reason. Somethings keeping her there. Maybe cuz she wasn't buried. I'd go figure out where they killed her and try to find some of her remains. Maybe your people could do an on the house burial or something. You did pretty much kill her after all.'

Return to Keep of Mielech and kill a froglok elite and a froglok evoker until you receive an emote.

Note: Quest flagged character must get the killshot.

A horrible chill flows from the Shadow Scarab cavern...

Note: The emote is easy to miss, and is usually gotten quickly.

Return to Burt Wellford.

You say, 'Hail, Burt Wellford'

Burt Wellford says, 'Hello.'

Looking on Burt you see that he has been recently bruised, badly, in the face. 'Oh... you...'

You say, 'Are you ok? What happened to you. Who did this?'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Fine friends you've been making recently, <Player Name>.'

You say, 'Hail, Private Peters Greaven'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Insubordination. Desertion. Causing harm to a superior officer. Conspiracy with an imprisoned criminal. Conspiracy with a likely criminal to free a criminal. Do you have any idea how serious these crimes are!'

You say, 'Wait who was the superior officer?'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Me you dolt! Me because as soon as you get back to the City of Mercy, you'll be stripped of your rank, and probably imprisoned forever. I'll volunteer to guard you and make sure your life is hell.'

You say, 'I did nothing wrong.'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Are you a complete loon? In any case I didn't make all those charges, they did, based on my reports. I followed you here and saw you talk to Burt over there. And he's willing to testify against you for some amnesty. So much for the short career of Private <Player Name>! Oh and about your friend Grant who I was guarding...'

You say, 'What about him...'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'His execution date has been moved up. He'll be dead in a week if all goes right. Thats what happens when you go against the law! Thats what happens when you think you know whats best! Return to the City of Mercy. You'll be going to trial.'

Return to Eisa of the Rose.

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Oh this is very bad <Player Name>. I knew you were going to clash with Aiden, but I didn't reailze it was going to be this bad. They want me to take your Private Insignia...'

You say, 'Eisa, you need to listen to me, I've been pursing this case... [Describe the events up to this point concerning Grant and Keira]'

Eisa of the Rose listens intently, her look becoming more shocked as the story continues. 'I... what you are doing is right <Player Name>. Althuna would agree. And I believe what you say. You aren't a liar.

You say, 'We need to delay the execution of Grant until I finish my investigation. A soul literally hangs in the balance.'

Eisa of the Rose pauses for a second. Then with sudden determination speaks. 'Give me your Insignia Private.'

You say, 'Eisa... I was only-'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Give it to me now <Player Name>.'

Give Private's Insignia of Althuna to Eisa of the Rose.

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Understand what I do here, and why I do it <Player Name>. By the power vested in me by the Goddess Althuna, I hereby promote you to the rank of Sergeant Major. Never before has such a jump in rank been given to anyone, but this will yell to everybody, across the city, and to Althuna herself, that I believe in your innocence. Speak with me again after you attach your new stripes.'

You receive Sgt. Major's Insignia of Althuna from Eisa of the Rose.

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Ok, listen to me very carefully <Player Name>. When you are ready, let me know. I will take you too the central tower. You will be allowed character witnesses of yourself, but no more than 5 others. I'd suggest gathering them before you decide to start this. Have them wait somewhere safe, we'll call them in when they are needed. Just remember Althunas teachings and you'll be fine.'

Lieutenant's Insignia

Find Eisa of the Rose.

You say, 'I am ready for this Eisa.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Oh... <Player Name>... You are going to get through this. Understand me? Meet Rouf in front of the central towers.'

Go the center of the zone and find the quest version of Judge Rouf Stoutmane.

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Ah, you arrive <Player Name>. Please wait by me patiently while you are formally accused.'

Captain Aiden begins to speak. '<Player Name>, has shown nothing but insubordination and headstrongness since being assigned to me. <Player Name>'s willingness to ignore my orders, and conspire with criminals shows a disregard for our laws and way of life. This in turn is an insult to the Goddess Althuna. The accusations of being a traitor working with Marlow can also not be ignored!

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'And will anyone defend the accused?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'I will defend <Player Name>'s character. I saw first hand the bravery and selflessness he is capable of. These are not marks of a follower of Marlow.'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'Bravery is a trait worth having. But obedience is far more important. Could we trust <Player Name> to stand ground against the forces of Kaezul if he were to attack? While extreme, the question bares asking. If you can not follow orders now, what good are you really.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'That's not what the Sergent Major is being accused of. The only crime I can see being committed here is halting <Player Name>'s investigation. There could be a very serious crisis developing and-'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Stay on task Eisa. The law must be followed. Private Greaven-

Private Peters Greaven salutes. 'Your honor!'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Please tell us what you saw. Afterwards, <Player Name>, will have a chance to say a few words.'

Private Peters Greaven says, 'As my sworn testimony states, <Player Name> showed callous disregard for the authority of the Captain and senior officer, that being me. I was also poisoned-.

Eisa of the Rose says, 'You were drunk!'.

Private Peters Greaven says, 'POISONED by the defendant. I also witnessed numerous meetings between them and the criminal Grant the Bullseye, and caught <Player Name> red handed in South Newport trying to free some other unknown criminal. Grant was a known follower of Marlow, a thief, and killer. Burt, we have in custody has agreed to testify that he gave <Player Name> orders from Marlow herself.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, '<Player Name>, speak to me now. It is time for you to answer to these accusations.'

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, '<Player Name>, how do you plead?'

You say, 'Not Guilty.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Just not guilty? What else have you to say on the matter?'

You say, 'Nothing that I did is a crime. The cited incidents are being taken out of context, or simply exaggerated.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'So you think this is all just a misunderstanding? Some of the testimony is very damning <Player Name>... Duke Thanes, you look like you have something to say.'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'What is really at stake here is the integrity and reputation of all of us here. Of Althuna herself. Of-'

Eisa of the Rose interrupts, 'What is at stake is your own reputation since <Player Name> is technically your subordinate-'

Private Reeves interjects, 'Don't you dare interupt Duke Thanes!'

Captain Aiden interjects, 'Who you trained! Yet here he stand, accused of the most despicable of crimes-'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot shouts, 'What crimes! There is no proof of a Marlow plot!'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane shouts, 'I will have order! Shut up the lot of ya! <Player Name>, it's time for your character witnesses. Speak to me, and follow my directions VERY carefully.'

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, '<Player Name>, it is time to bring your character witnesses to speak on your behalf. Ask me to, and I shall bring them all here, everyone in your party. Make sure to tell them not to wander very far. They will be attacked.'

You say, 'Bring my friends here so they can defend me.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Ok then. <Player Name>, follow this exactly. Please tell me 'My witness is' followed by the name of your witness. In other words, if you were going to represent yourself, which you can't, you would say 'My witness is <Player Name>'.'

Note: Type 'My witness is 'name" in say with Judge Rouf Stoutmane targeted. That person will then have to answer questions about you. You must do this three times, you may use the same person for all three.

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Let it be known, that according to their own peers, <Player Name> is a Charitable, Just philanthropist. It is time for final judgement.'

You say, 'I am ready.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'By the power granted to me by the Goddess Althuna, I hereby find the defendant NOT GUILTY on all counts.'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'Not so fast Rouf. I do not feel satisfied with this out come. I would like to investigate further, and would like <Player Name> to be kept in holding until-'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'But he didn't do anything! This trial just proved that!'

Capain Aiden says, 'I too would like to appeal. I do not believe justice has been served.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Well then, if you aren't satisfied with my decision, let's up the ante. I sentence <Player Name> to the Trial of Purity.'

A hush falls over the proceedings.

Eisa of the Rose says, 'You can't be serious...'

High Priest Rodger says, 'Rouf, have mercy!'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane looks over at Thanes.

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'Well what can I say. Of course I will follow tradition. If he makes it through the trial alive I may even apologize myself.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Then that's that. Judgement has been passed, and justice will soon be served. <Player Name>, speak with me to formally accept this judgement.'

You say, 'Hail, Judge Rouf Stoutmane'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'I'm sorry for this <Player Name>. But it's the only way. Live or die, you are considered innocent by partaking in the Trial of Purity, as far as Althuna is concerned. Otherwise they'd keep you judged til you gave up. No, not even Thanes can touch you if you complete this. I have faith in you. Eisa will lead you there when you are ready. You are allowed to bring up to five companions with you on this trial. I highly recommend your very best.'

Judge Rouf Stoutmane shouts, 'Court is dismissed!'

Go inside the building and find Keeper of Purity to start the Test of Purity.

You say, 'Hail, Keeper of Purity'

Keeper of Purity says, '<Player Name>. You have been accused of crimes and sentanced [sic] to the Trial of Purity. Are you and your companions prepared to move forward?'

You say, 'I am ready. Let us attempt the trial.'

You have 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete this trial. If for some reason you leave the trial area, you, and only you, may speak to me again to re-enter.

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'We all heard you had succeeded, I am so glad you succeeded. I... I just wish I had some better news...'

You say, 'What do you mean better news...'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'While you were doing the trial... Thanes... he must have had more realized you would succeed, and wanted to spite you one more time. He moved up Grants execution. Grant's dead <Player Name>. It's done. This investigation is over. I'm very sorry.'

Find Althuna the Healing Hand (City of Mercy  • Top of arena) .

You say, 'Hail, Althuna, The Healing Hand'

Althuna, The Healing Hand says, 'I don't understand... my sacrafice [sic]... the pain I've endured. Yet the sickness runs free. How can this be..'

Althuna, The Healing Hand says, 'Well met <Player Name>. I was informed that you suceeded [sic] in the Trial of Purity. Few could manage that. I... there is something troubling you child. Would you care to share your troubles?'

You say, '[Tell her everything that has happened since you met Rouf]'

Althuna, The Healing Hand looks at you, sorrow in her eyes. 'I... this is what happens when I become distracted for too long. No this will not do. Executions may never occur away from my view. Thanes has much to answer for. As does his petty Captain. But most troubling is this poor soul... trapped and wanting help, but apparently being controlled as well. You concern for other Dalayans speaks highly of your character. I believe you should pursue this further and rescue the soul. She is being bound against her will clearly, and all spells come with a price. There must be some way to save her, and she might know what it is. I believe I know what must be done.'

You say, 'Your insight will be greatly appreciated in this matter.'

Althuna, The Healing Hand closes her eyes for a moment. She speaks after she opens them. 'I have informed Rodger of my plan. Speak with him on this matter. And good luck <Player Name>, continue to do what is right.'

Your journal has been updated. [Roses of Judgement]

Return to High Priest Rodger.

You say, 'Hail, High Priest Rodger'

High Priest Rodger says, 'Hail <Player Name>. Althuna informed me of the whole story. If what you say is true... Althuna believes that the spirit herself may know how to get free, but is being prevented from doing it. The plan right now is for me to summon it here, and ask. With Althuna's protection this 'Kiera' should be able to speak freely. But I will need a few supplies first.'

You say, 'Ya... figured that would be the case. Just tell me what they are and where to find them.'

High Priest Rodger laughs. 'Of course. You must get that alot [sic] in your line of work. Here it goes. I need to control the spirits. A binding Orb of the Dead should allow this if I use it as a focus properly. The dwarves of Kaladim used to have those in great numbers, so it may still exist in there.'

High Priest Rodger says, 'The focus needs to, well focus, on something, so we'll need to find some remains of the victim. Something around where she died may have them, Althuna willing. '

High Priest Rodger says, 'Next we'll need a special incense. Thats [sic] easy though, we have an agent in Kelethin, one Deirdre Grey, who makes it. Just ask her for it.'

High Priest Rodger says, 'Finally we need a special Brazier. It is made of the most beautiful gold... we used to get them from the Goblins of the Redsun Mines. We would trade them for it, though I don't know where they got them. If you are in good standing with them, you can probably just ask, otherwise find a way to get it.

Your journal has been updated. [Roses of Judgement]

Binding Orb of the Dead is dropped by Prelate Migur in North Kaladim.

Darkelven Remains is dropped by A Corrupted Ritualist in Keep of Mielch.

Note: A Corrupted Ritualist had a chance to spawn when killing one of the three a shadow scarabs in the area that you have previously killed Kiera D'unteraux.

Incense of Midnight Dreams can be obtained by hailing Deirdre Grey (Greater Faydark  at -215, -268  • Kelethin) .

You say, 'Hail, Deirdre Grey'

Deirdre Grey smiles broadly. 'Ah, Sergent Major <Player Name> of the Rose Squadron. How good of you to arrive. I have been expecting you.'

You say, 'Oh have you?'

Deirdre Grey says, 'Indeed. I have the incense all prepard [sic]. If you need anymore just let me know. How is the Rose Squadron doing? I heard about what those Marlow followers did to you at the Arena. Quite ghastly. But if someone like you is a member now, they must be stronger than ever.'

You receive Incense of Midnight Dreams from Deirdre Grey.

You say, 'I didn't know that... I guess I joined up afterwards. I'll have to be sure to pay my respects to them.'

Deirdre Grey says, 'Yes, well they are probably in a better place now anyway. Remember if you need any more incense just talk to me again.'

Beautiful Golden Brazier can be purchased from a goblin merchant in Red Sun Mines for 150 or can be obtained as loot.

You say, 'Hail'

a goblin merchant says, 'You Althuna no? Want buy brazier for ceremony? You used buy lots! Only 150 platinum! Very pretty!'

You say, 'Sure I'll take one!'

You lose 150 platinum pieces. You receive Beautiful Golden Brazier from a goblin merchant.

Gather the following items and give them to High Priest Rodger:

• Binding Orb of the Dead

Your journal has been updated. [Roses of Judgement]

You say, 'Hail, High Priest Rodger'

Without speaking further the High Priest begings [sic] chanting. You feel an unnatural and otherworldly chill, similar to the one you felt in Mielech.

Kiera D'unteraux spawns.

Kiera D`unteraux begins to cast a spell.

Kiera D`unteraux looks dead.

You say, 'Hail, Kiera D`unteraux'

Kiera D`unteraux says, 'So cold...'

You say, 'Kiera, Grant sent me to help you. I need to know whats wrong!'

Kiera D`unteraux says, 'Grant... help? Me? Help me! Puh.. Please help me!'

You say, 'I want to help you. What happened, how can I free you?'

Kiera D`unteraux says, 'Cold one... so cold... I was bad... I... the implements of my end. The things that killed me... I...'

You say, 'What do you mean? What implements, what do I do with them?'

Kiera D`unteraux starts shivering violenetly [sic]. 'Run... run away! Before I hurt... hurt you... Kill you! Make you bleed. You'll join us you will. My Master! Chaos and death to Dalaya!'

Kiera suddenly transforms and howls in agony! The howl causes Rodger to keel over bleeding!

Kiera D`unteraux says, 'Oh Master! I shall bring you a strong one!'

Another version of Kiera D'unteraux spawn and attack you. Kill her to get the quest update.

You say, 'Hail, High Priest Rodger'

High Priest Rodger says, 'Ugh... I'm ok... I'm ok. She is far more powerful than it seems like she should be... When you beat her I saw in my head an image of Newport. I think she fled there... <Player Name>, something is not right here. She should have been dismissed if she broke free... her attacking and fleeing wasn't a possibility. We need to reclaim her. Search around there and put her in this vessel. It should activate automatically as long as it is on your person. Just get her weak enough!'

You receive Vessel of Lost Spirits from High Priest Rodger.

High Priest Rodger says, 'I feel her presence... hand me the vessel.'

Give High Priest Rodger Vessel of Lost Spirits

High Priest Rodger says, 'You did it <Player Name>! It couldn't have been easy, but you'd best keep the vessel for now. For I have matters of great importance to discuss with you. Before we go on, hand me your Insignia, Sergeant Major.'

Your journal has been updated. [Roses of Judgement]

You receive Lieutenant's Insignia of Althuna from High Priest Rodger.

Captain's Insigna of Althuna

You say, 'Thank you. Now what is it we must do next?'

High Priest Rodger says, 'Well a few things are clear. Whatever we are dealing with, is powerful and evil. I get the same feeling from that spirit as I do when I walk around Lesser Faydark... nothing good at all. I started looking into our summoning, and found the incense you brought me was tampered with. I don't like that. Not at all. Finally I've been thinking about what she said before she attacked. About the implements of her demise...'

You say, 'Do you think she meant the weapon that killed her?'

High Priest Rodger says, 'To an extent... I think she was referring to her own weapons. Essentially that the tools of her trade killed her. In any case we're gonna need outside help. So I took the liberty of sending a message to an old acquaintance of mine. He's a seer, for the Dawn Tribe.'

You say, 'What do you hope he'll find?'

High Priest Rodger says, 'Think about the how your own weapon got in your hands <Player Name>... weapons travel, from owner to owner. The odds of Keiras weapons still being in Mielech are very low. But we might be able to use a seer and figure out where they are now. No sense sending you across the whole world looking if we can narrow it down. Go talk to Dawn Seer Tarnok in the Oasis. You can trust him.'

You say, 'High Priest Rodger sent me to speak with you.'

Dawn Seer Tarnok says, 'You must be the one the letter mentioned. Rodger wrote that I would know this by the vessel you carried. The one with the spirit inside. Please give it to me.'

Give Dawn Seer Tarnok Vessel of Lost Spirits

Dawn Seer Tarnok says, 'What pain. And corruption. I've seen it before... I will do this divination, and gladly, but you must bring to me implements to assist. Locating the arms will be impossible otherwise. Bring to me a Crystal Ball, for a focus is needed in order to peer through the veil. I need something personal from the owner of the weapons, something of equal value as it were. Finally I need crystalline blood to function as a sacrafice [sic].'

Your journal has been updated. [Roses of Judgement]

You say, 'Where in the world will I find a Crystal Ball...'

Dawn Seer Tarnok says, 'A fortune teller would certainly carry one. There was once one in the city of freeport, in the west. Perhaps an extra can still be found there. Conversely I could probably craft one if I had a focus of hate... the choice is yours, either will do.'

You say, 'Something personal... she was a theif [sic], what about her theives [sic] tools?'

Dawn Seer Tarnok says, 'Yes that would in fact do. Would you happen to have such things?'

You say, 'I did. But I gave them to Grant... and they executed him...'

Dawn Seer Tarnok says, 'Then you must retrieve them from those who did the deed.'

You say, 'Crystalline blood? Where is that found?'

Dawn Seer Tarnok says, 'I do not know. But I imagine a desert is not the place to start looking. Something in the frozen north should work. You will have to hunt.'

Crystal Ball is dropped by An undead fortune teller in West Freeport.

Crystalline blood is dropped by A crystal spider in Crystal Caverns.

Private Peters Greaven says, 'Dammit what did I tell you! Just because you are a Lieutenant doesn't make you better than me! I should be a Lieutenant. I did more work than you. Am more loyal.

You say, 'Let me have it.'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'Firstly, you acted appropriatly [sic] given the situation. Your life was in jeopardy against a clearly evil and corrupted menance [sic], and you dealt with it efficently [sic]. For that you shall be applauded.'

You say, 'But?'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'But you had issues with a superior officer and failed too report it properly. Sergeant Major Greavens was a surprise attack, but if you suspected a plot, you should have located us about Aiden. As such you will have to be punished.'

You say, 'Wait since when has he been a Sergeant Major.'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'You'll find the quickest method of advancement tends to be the most terminal as well.'

You say, 'Punished? For self defense?'

Duke Thanes the Righteous says, 'Correct. A lesson needs to be taught to those below you, that no one is above the law. I shall keep your penance simple however. You will travel to Newport and seek a cobbler, Halas and seek a cook, or Underhilland [sic] seek a church supplier. Find two tasks, total, of the three and compelte [sic] them.
