		            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.
