Dialogue
Frostval 2006
King Alteon: Well met <Your Class>. It is an honor to finally meet you. I have heard many tales of your adventures.
King Alteon: Today you have done the entire kingdom, a great service. The bards will sing of this day.
King Alteon: I knew you would do the right thing... you are someone who can be counted on in the dark times ahead.
King Alteon: During your encounter with Ice Master Yeti were you able to discover who was behind this?
King Alteon: Indeed.
King Alteon: Interesting. I am often amazed by the unthinkable convenient timing of events in RPGs.
King Alteon: Hmmm, nevermind that. Let us keep this between ourselves. I will see what I can learn of this Sepulcher.
King Alteon: I will send you an invitation to my Castle in Swordhaven once I have returned from this journey.
King Alteon: *Smiles* I shall not be gone too much longer. There is someone I must meet with. I am happy that Frostvale was on the way.
King Alteon: Now is a time of celebration, all in your honor. Happy Frostval <Character>.
The Hot Gates
King Alteon: *Coughs* Who goes there?
King Alteon: ... *coughs* ....
King Alteon: Thank you for saving me *coughs* Xan.... Xan is more powerful than we ever imagined.
King Alteon: He had a second army of fire monsters waiting for us....
King Alteon: All 500,000 of my Knights were defeated!
King Alteon: *coughs*
King Alteon: It is alright... Now listen carefully. *coughs* When facing Xan my 299 Elite Knights formed a wall...
King Alteon: Xan defeated them all with a single fire spell...
King Alteon: *coughs* a SINGLE SPELL!
King Alteon: But <Character>, we can still win this...
King Alteon: Because we have more warriors than Xan does!
King Alteon: <Character>, what is your profession?
King Alteon: NO! You are...
King Alteon: AH'OOOOOOOOOH!
King Alteon: <Character>, become the 301st Elite Knight, stop Xan, and save Falconreach!
King Alteon: Lets not talk about that....
King Alteon: Take this cape and stand your ground against all odds. Save Falconreach as the 301st Elite Knight!
King Alteon: For tonight... we dine in Serenity's Inn!
Victoria's Secret
King Alteon: <Character>, it is always good to see you! Sir Ano, I'm pleased to have you dining with us tonight, as are my daughters.
King Alteon: I've heard quite a few stories about you from Sir Emony when he brought up Captain Rolith's request to have you presented...
King Alteon: Especially after thwarting a kidnapping plot! Please allow me to introduce my daughters, at least one of whom owes her well-being to you, it seems.
King Alteon: Brittany, my lovely eldest; her clever little sister, Tara; and finally my darling Victoria.
King Alteon: Victoria? I didn't know you'd become involved with my charities! I'm not surprised; you always were a role model of selflessness.
King Alteon: Your sister has a good point, Victoria. I'm familiar with some of the areas where our charities focus.
King Alteon: There are some unsavory characters there with complete disregard for the law.
King Alteon: Victoria, just what are <Character> and your sister implying?
King Alteon: Do continue, because I'm very interested in how you're going to rationalize one of my daughters supporting and even directly aiding crime.
King Alteon: Hmmm. I can't say as I entirely approve of your methods, but I'm glad to see you taking an interest in the well-being of our subjects...
King Alteon: Even if your attempts to aid them were rather circuitous. We'll have to have a lengthy talk about just what your plans for the future are, my girl.
King Alteon: I highly doubt you'll attract a Prince gallivanting around the countryside engaged in such unsuitable activities.
King Alteon: As for you, Ano, you have quite the sharp mind. Such an ability to finesse the facts of a situation present them in a good light, well...
King Alteon: I could have a use for such a silver-tongued young Knight at Court. Sir Vice is in charge of coordinating the Knights who work directly for me.
King Alteon: See him about a position as a Public Relations consultant. I have high hopes for you, young man.
King Alteon: Speaking of stories... Really, Victoria! Some of the tales I've heard about your alter ego! I hope they aren't all true.
All That Glitters...
King Alteon: *sigh* I do indeed know this threat to my people. This is Baron Au'Mydas Bayconn, the Royal Treasurer.
King Alteon: He was so diligent about his work, so meticulous when it came to keeping track of the Kingdom's monies...
King Alteon: I can't imagine what could have done this to him!
King Alteon: Not-
King Alteon: We need to summon Warlic to help him, I think. Restoring him will take his mastery of magic.
King Alteon: Thank you, <Character>. Once again you have saved our cities and this time, one of my servants. My gratitude goes with you.
Old Scrolls
Alteon: Yes, hero, do you have it?
Alteon: Not you. Him.
Alteon: The scrolls! For oblivion's sake! I've been waiting ages to get my hands on them!
Alteon: You are truly a hero! Come, you should join in the feast of Dew and Cheese Toes!
Alteon: The scrolls are safe and that is all that matters. Now it's time to play!
Trust
King Alteon: Better, today, I think. Jaania assures me that Brittany's health is improving... but...
King Alteon: All we can do is hope.
King Alteon: Is there something you require, Victoria?
King Alteon: Have you, now? And where did you hear these rumors?
King Alteon: I thought I told you to stay inside the city, at least!
King Alteon: I know I can't control you... and I don't ask when you go missing for weeks at a time, but I worry!
King Alteon: It is my business.
King Alteon: With Tara out of the country, and Brittany's health wavering, if anything were to happen to me...
King Alteon: With the ever-present threat of magic...
King Alteon: Rule over Swordhaven, over Greenguard, would fall upon you! And if you keep shirking your duties, I don't know if you would be ready for it!
King Alteon: I have heard that events in Betrubung Swamp were escalating.
King Alteon: ...It indeed would not do to have battle spill out into the countryside.
King Alteon: I will see what I can do, Victoria.
King Alteon: Please have somebody let Jaania know that I would like to speak with her as soon as possible.
Tournament of Champions (Part 2) / (Easy)
???: ...<Character>?
King Alteon: By the Avatars... it really IS you!
King Alteon: This stadium has never seen such a thrilling battle before! Amazing— truly amazing!
King Alteon: And of course, you've more than earned that audience. We have much to talk about! Come, come!
King Alteon: What is the meaning of this?
King Alteon: That's preposterous! <Character> is the hero of Falconreach! I would trust her/him with my life—!
King Alteon: Then how about this?
King Alteon: For winning the Tournament of Champions today, and as a royal re-welcoming to the Hero of Falconreach...
King Alteon: I, with the full royal authority of Swordhaven, extend to you a formal invitation to our royal gala in a few weeks time.
King Alteon: This is a royal decree. You don't have any problem with that, do you?
King Alteon: Good.
King Alteon: Then, alas, it seems we must part ways for now.
King Alteon: But do not fret, <Character>. I look forward to seeing you at the gala. I'm sure you have many wonderful stories to share!
King Alteon: Oh, and do try to wear something formal, will you?
The Gala
King Alteon: Greetings, <Character>! I'm so glad you could make it!
King Alteon: In these uncertain times, it is important that we honor those who selflessly defend Greenguard and her people.
King Alteon: And it's time for all of us to come together and strengthen our resolve to protect our subjects.
King Alteon: I'm sure you are familiar with some of the guests here already. The Rose have been so instrumental in keeping the peace.
King Alteon: Jaania herself, in fact, has—
King Alteon: Oh, there will be plenty of time for that later! For now, please enjoy yourself, <Character>.
King Alteon: Eat, mingle, let us celebrate The Rose and its achievements!
King Alteon: Not everything can be about you all the time, <Character>! Now, if you would excuse me, I do have other guests to greet.
King Alteon: Jaania? What is the meaning of this?
King Alteon: Anyone who threatens my subjects, threatens this kingdom! Explain yourselves!
King Alteon: Jaania, explain!
Words and Deeds
King Alteon: Preposterous! How are there so many of them in my castle? Who are they?
King Alteon: I... I abandoned the guests and ran... I have to go back and make sure—
King Alteon: I can hear screaming...
King Alteon: She will be safe.
King Alteon: Only Jaania and I can unseal her room. We still don't know what's causing her illness, after all...
King Alteon: Who are they? Who would be so foolish as to attack the castle?
King Alteon: ...
King Alteon: You will not fight, young lady!
King Alteon: I'm dead serious! Princesses like you should not—
King Alteon: You... have a bow with you...?
King Alteon: We will continue this conversation later.
King Alteon: *pant* Can we... rest for a bit... ?
King Alteon: *pant* I'm not... made for running... *pant*... any more...
King Alteon: I'm too old for this... *pant*
King Alteon: The... fairies?
King Alteon: Er... No. No, certainly not...
King Alteon: ...I suppose I'm in no place to deny you.
King Alteon: Which is?
King Alteon: That's not how I'd describe it.
King Alteon: Do you think Jaania's keeping me in the dark?
King Alteon: I know The Rose is capturing terrible beasts, bringing them to the Beastmaster so that he can take care of them.
King Alteon: I also know that The Rose is pursuing mages who are using magic for evil acts and taking them in for rehabilitation.
King Alteon: It's for the safety of Greenguard! Not everyone can defend themselves like you can.
King Alteon: The people need to be protected. Protected from the dangers of magic!
King Alteon: ...
King Alteon: But... magic is evil...
King Alteon: Then dangerous! Magic... is dangerous!
King Alteon: ...
King Alteon: ...
King Alteon: ...A way out? Yes. There is an old backdoor that leads outside the walls. It's normally supposed to be locked and gated, but...
King Alteon: ...I suppose it's our only choice.
King Alteon: And where will we go? Could we hide somewhere in the city?
King Alteon: I... I can't abandon my people!
Culture Shock
King Alteon: Where... where am I? What happened? Who are you?!
King Alteon: Swordhaven... Victoria... and <Character>...
King Alteon: I am... quite confused.
King Alteon: I—
King Alteon: I didn't know.
King Alteon: I didn't realize...
King Alteon: You... Elanee was it?
King Alteon: You were just trying to live your life. You fell in love with an orc, and the Rose wanted to lock you up...
King Alteon: Imprisoned... for loving someone they considered a monster...
King Alteon: Someone *I* considered a monster...
King Alteon: And you? What's your story, soldier?
King Alteon: Then this must be the Vind— the rebels!
King Alteon: That's what you are, isn't it?
King Alteon: ...
King Alteon: But... Jaania has done so much good... she showed me—
King Alteon: ...Just call me Alden.
King Alteon: I...
King Alteon: Please, leave me.
King Alteon: I need to think.
Heroes
King Alteon: Alden.
King Alteon: ...
King Alteon: I've spoken with everyone here. I've listened to their stories.
King Alteon: And I am ashamed.
King Alteon: I've allowed myself to be misled. I've grown complacent.
King Alteon: I didn't realize what was truly going on in my kingdom... the kingdom that I fought for and that I reclaimed.
King Alteon: The kingdom that I liberated.
King Alteon: I've allowed myself to be manipulated by Jaania.
King Alteon: The mirror.
King Alteon: You see, my wife, my queen, died because of... because of magic, you could say.
King Alteon: I have never held it against "magic", not really. The one who killed her was to blame, not magic.
King Alteon: But Jaania... sh—she showed me. She showed me what could have been.
King Alteon: She showed me my life through a mirror.
King Alteon: She showed me my Lynaria...
King Alteon: I really don't know what I was thinking, back then, I honestly don't.
King Alteon: She was just... so... convincing.
King Alteon: I let her organization grow. I supported it from the cozy confines of my castle, not knowing what was really going on.
King Alteon: How could I?! I was apparently fed misinformation, and I ate it all with gusto. I never doubted.
King Alteon: I... am to blame for all of this.
King Alteon: I will stay here for the time being, until I'm fully recovered. I trust my girls to take care of the kingdom in my absence.
King Alteon: Meanwhile...
King Alteon: Ooof, I haven't done that in a while...
King Alteon: What was I saying?
King Alteon: Ah, yes. Meanwhile, I'd like you to arrange for someone to spar with me.
King Alteon: One does not stop being a DragonLord, even after their dragon dies...
King Alteon: I've been complacent for far too long.
King Alteon: This old dog has to get back in shape—
King Alteon: —Before I have my talk with Jaania.
A Petal Falls
King Alteon: The atealans are guests in these lands. I would wish to defend them.
King Alteon: The people of the Sandsea fall under my rule, and I would also wish that no harm befalls the innocents that live there, Rose or not.
King Alteon: If this is a trap, then it is a poorly thought out one, as it threatens the safety of their people, and allows the resistance to be viewed as saviors.
King Alteon: It is very likely that, as <Character> says, this is the effect of the Magesterium's magic.
King Alteon: If that is the case, however, then it is difficult to see this as anything but an attack on the Kingdom of Greenguard.
King Alteon: I cannot go with you. For me, decisions such as these cannot be followed through so easily.
King Alteon: I wish not to see the atealans harmed, nor do I wish to see the populace of the Sandsea suffer.
King Alteon: But if I were to show myself at the head of a magical army, there would be misunderstandings.
King Alteon: As much as I wish to play the hero, the safety of the people does still rely, at least partially, on politics.
King Alteon: The Rose and the Knights of Swordhaven are likely also looking for me. If I am to travel, it will be more likely that I am found by them.
King Alteon: It would be best if I stay here and recover, and train. I will wait for the moment to be right for my return.
King Alteon: I trust my daughter will rule well in my absence.
King Alteon: Perhaps...
King Alteon: Excuse my rambling! I'm sure you've all got better things to do right now?
The Point of No Return (Part 2)
Bodyguard: !
Alteon: You will not threaten this realm, Akanthus!
Alteon: ...Brittany...
Alteon: Brittany!
From the Embers
Alteon: She's awake. Speaking, even. It seems Jaania wasn't lying about curing her.
Alteon: ...She's in the care of the royal physicians now.
Alteon: My dear Victoria, I cannot apologize enough for deceiving you—
Alteon: I... meant to reveal myself sooner. But—
Alteon: But I was afraid that if I were to tell you the truth... I...
Alteon: I had intended to return and cast out The Rose for their crimes. But by that point, such an act would have only sown strife and confusion.
Alteon: So I settled for protecting you.
Alteon: Had you faltered, I would have stepped in. I swear to you.
Alteon: You've become such a capable ruler, Victoria. I'm so very proud of you.
Chasing Answers
Alteon: I am, as well.
Alteon: I am sorry, Victoria. I...
Alteon: I... understand.
Alteon: Did we make it?
Outpost Outskirts
Alteon: I must agree. These surroundings make me... uncomfortable.
Alteon: What have we gotten ourselves into...?
Welcome to Outpost Yeden
Alteon: Um. All times?
Alteon: Hello, <Character>! This is quite marvelous, isn't it?
Talk
Alteon: Please, call me Alden. Or if that's too familiar, Alteon will do.
Alteon: Are you kidding? This is amazing! I've never seen anything so fascinating!
Alteon: The magic, the drones... When I return to Swordhaven... When I...
Alteon: ...I will recommend to the Queen to invest more into the study of magic and mana manipulation.
Alteon: Did you see the way those golems move? We fought them before, and I noticed then, but their movements are so natural.
Alteon: We must seem so primitive compared to the Magesters.
Alteon: Yes, you're right, of course. I must temper my enthusiasm with the reality of the Magesterium's... endeavors.
Alteon: I apologize. I have not seen such wonders in a long time.
Queen Victoria
Alteon: Victoria's done so well, hasn't she? Perhaps I was too strict on her in the past...
Alteon: Nothing is easy for rulers. Destiny called and she answered, as decisively as any could wish for.
Alteon: Moreover, as you've seen of The Rose and... my own example...
Alteon: ...Good leadership requires action.
Alteon: I regret the pain. But the outcome has been all that I could have wished for, had I perished that day.
Amadeus
Alteon: He was Jaania's research lead and advisor, wasn't he?
Alteon: He is a capable fellow, knows his way around a blade, that's for sure.
Alteon: His fighting style reminds me of the knights I used to keep, many years ago...
Alteon: I have lost touch with so many. Perhaps we knew each other, once.
Alteon: He seems disinterested in chatting with me now, though.
Alteon: Er, I was, but it seemed everyone else was okay with it and I didn't want to presume anything...
Alteon: Should I be worried? It seemed a bit dark for my tastes.
Alteon: Thank you, <Character>. I'm trying to keep an open mind, after all.
Project Casca
Alteon: So you will help us stop Jaania and Akanthus?
Alteon: <Character>? What do you think?
Alteon: Hold on, weren't you going to tell us about Project Casca?
Alteon: This alliance makes sense to me. We all have an interest in preventing The Rose's plans from coming to fruition.
Alteon: But I agree with Amadeus. I have been wondering what Project Casca will entail.
Alteon: ...Then that is why you consider The Rose to be trespassers. That's how you know so much about the Fissure!
Alteon: Er... I do have a couple of questions...
Alteon: I've noticed there are Magesters here who are not of your order. Not of the Golden Hand.
Alteon: You said that you might be able to re-attune to the Mana Core, but...
Alteon: The what?
Alteon: Um. Yes. You seem confident that you'll be able to reclaim Azaveyr... but... from what?
Alteon: Your ancestors fought against the dragons, but what has threatened your home this time?
Alteon: Perhaps it was truly the will of The Shapeless—
Alteon: Er. Right, sorry.
Alteon: I... I see. Perhaps when this is over, I could send some knights to help.
Alteon: This could be the start of new diplomatic relations between Greenguard and—
Alteon: I only—
Alteon: No, you are right.
Alteon: I cannot make these promises.
Alteon: Such talk can wait until after we stop Jaania and Akanthus.
Alteon: I guess we're back to waiting for now, then. Anyone up for some friendly sparring?
Alteon: We'll be saving the world soon, after all, and I'd hate to let down our hosts!
Hawk in the Sky
Alteon: ...
Alteon: Doom has brought great suffering to Greenguard. I don't know the specifics about this device, but I do know it cannot be unleashed.
Alteon: Just the three of us?
Alteon: Sorry— four of us?
Alteon: ...Oh.
Alteon: I... I'm not excited to be fighting my own people. But I am ready for whatever may come.
Alteon: It was my rule— my own shortsightedness that led to the choice being presented at all.
Alteon: She was clearly occupied with ruling–
Crash and Burn
Alteon: Then... we failed?
Alteon: Are you sure? You must be exhausted after your exertions—
Alteon: What... what was that?!
Alteon: I've seen this kind of corruption before. I don't think—
Alteon: Be that as it may—
Alteon: If this is indeed something you can do, Amadeus, we will do all we can to help ease your pain.
Alteon: I only—
Alteon: Why? What are you going to do?
Alteon: Valen?!
Alteon: Valen— I—
Alteon: Valen... So this is where you've been...
The Only Path
Alteon: I still can't believe... Valen...
Alteon: I thought, after the business with the Ultimate Orb and the Darkness Dragon...
Alteon: I... I did. I knew him as my old friend, Valen. I...
Alteon: I couldn't bring myself to face him.
Alteon: I...
Alteon: I... I know. I have no excuses, Valen. But that's why I'm here.
Alteon: I'm not hiding. I let Jaania come to power. I let The Rose run unchecked.
Alteon: I'm here to take responsibility.
Alteon: I'll let you rest. Let me know if you need anything.
Alteon: ...
As original dialogue, with 'Amadeus' option gained new dialogue when approaching Alteon:
Amadeus
Alteon: I did. He was Valen then, and together with him... and another... we were heroes. Adventurers, much like yourself.
Alteon: We travelled the land, protecting it, and its people. We took down King Slugwrath together. We were heroes.
Alteon: I am sorry, <Character>. As much as Amadeus does not wish to speak of the past, I do not, either.
Alteon: Perhaps when all of this business with The Rose is concluded, and if Amadeus himself is willing to speak of it...
Alteon: But I will not tell our story without his consent and his participation. I owe him that much.
Alteon: Perhaps. If you do not mind, I... must... reflect on my thoughts.
The Arrival
Alteon: I know they've been nothing but kind to us, but... It doesn't sit well with me that we have to simply follow the Magesterium's plans.
Alteon: No offense, Ostromir, Vseslava.
The Flame Within
Alteon: I don't think I'll ever be ready to fight my own citizens. But I am as prepared as I can be.
At Fissure's Edge
Alteon: Ahimsa, Tipu... You are guests to our lands so—
Alteon: Come on, <Character>. We have to press on.
The Final Steps
Alteon: You all... you don't feel that?
Alteon: There's a pressure. It's not too bad, but it's a weight. And then sometimes it... pinches.
Alteon: ...Didn't Aegis mention that <Character>'s soul was... straining? Then... perhaps I should fall back. If this is only going to get worse...
Alteon: If you would be so kind. I've come this far. I would hate to turn back now.
Alteon: ...That... That would be fine.
Alteon: I... wow. I can breathe! I didn't realize how heavy I felt until the weight was gone.
Convergence (Part 1)
Alteon: I was content. I believed what you were doing was right...
Alteon: But that came at the cost of suffering for others. That is not peace. That is not happiness.
Alteon: Jaania...
Convergence (Part 2)
Alteon: Looks like... this one's up to you, <Character>.
Alteon: Then that just leaves...
Alteon: I won't let—
Alteon: What... What could you even do? He's gone.
Alteon: Surely it's too late...
