Taking A Stand Location: The Siege of Haven -> To War! -> Introduction: Taking a Stand Requirements: None Release Date: April 30th, 2021 Objective: As Haven prepares for war, Mritha has something she would like to talk to you about. Objective completed: They're here. Experience rewarded: 0 Gold rewarded: 0 Monsters None NPCs Mritha Rewards None Dialogue *You're sitting down at a table with Mritha in the Haven as your dragon sleeps; Clawkins can be seen rushing by as you and Mritha sit.* <Character>: I guess... I guess we're as prepared as we're going to be. Mritha: Yeah. Mritha: How are you holding up? Working with Clawkin and Dravir must be a new experience for you. <Character>: It's definitely different from before. Before I was frozen, I mean. Mritha: I can imagine. But what matters is that you're taking action. Mritha: You're not standing aside and letting The Rose do as they wish. Mritha: You're helping to protect those that need protecting! <Character>: You... seem very passionate about that. Mritha: I... Well... I am. Mritha: When The Rose started hunting dragons, the other DragonLords decided to flee. Mritha: To hide away and let the politics of Greenguard sort themselves out. Mritha: They were content to seek refuge for DragonsGrasp while others suffered at the hands of The Rose. Mritha: I couldn't abide that. Nor could my partner, Odgne. Mritha: So we left, and eventually, we found Kara. <Character>: The DragonLords are... hiding? Mritha: They'd call it "preparing" or "maintaining a stance of non-intervention". Mritha: They talk about how they don't want the people to be dependent on them, and nonsense about how they must "balance instinct and nobility". Mritha: I call it cowardice. <Character>: And you're the only DragonLord who disagreed? You and Odgne were the only pair who left? Mritha: There were quite a few of us with doubts. But due to DragonsGrasp's isolation, news of The Rose was slow to reach us. Mritha: When we finally got word of what happened at the Sanctuary... Well, I lost my temper when it was decided to yet again not intervene. Mritha: Odgne and I left. Mritha: I still keep in touch with my old friends. Mritha: I hope, with time, and with more evidence of The Rose's wrongdoings, I can bring them around to join the Vind. <Character>: Sounds like a worthy effort. Mritha: Indeed. And I won't give up. While I may hold resentment toward the DragonLords and dragons of DragonsGrasp... Mritha: ...I hold faith that they'll do the right thing, eventually. <Character>: ...Yeah. *There is a brief moment of silence after your conversation with Mritha.* <Character>: Any word from Odgne? *Mritha uses telepathy to communicate with Odgne.* Mritha: ...Oh no. Mritha: Get ready, <Character>. They're going be on us any moment– *You, your dragon, Mritha, and the Dravir look above as shadows move around the Haven, signifying that it is now under attack by the dragons and the Rose.* Mritha: They're here! Everyone, get ready! The dragons and The Rose have arrived! *Scene cuts to black.* Complete Quest Other information This quest was previously erroneously named Rose War Intro and its objectives matched those of that quest upon its initial release; this was fixed on May 2nd, 2021.
