Dialogue *In Sulen'Eska, King Alteon regains consciousness inside of a medical tent after being knocked out by one of Magisterium golems on the night of The Gala; King Alteon looks around the tent before leaving it to look outside as he became shocked around his newfound surroundings; not long afterwards, Kara and Svera discovered that King Alteon has woken up as they approach him from behind.* Kara SuLema: *gasp* Kara SuLema: Your Majesty! Kara SuLema: Svera, please inform Elanee that the King has woken up. Svera: At once. King Alteon: Where... where am I? What happened? Who are you?! Kara SuLema: My name is Kara. I am a Wind Elf. You were gravely injured and brought here- to our camp. Kara SuLema: Please rest assured, you are in no danger! We mean you no harm. King Alteon: Swordhaven... Victoria... Kara SuLema: I assure you, everything is fine. How are you feeling, your Majesty? *King Alteon looks down at the ground as he is still confused before looking back at Kara.* King Alteon: Quite confused. Kara SuLema: Please, walk with me, if you can manage. I have much to tell you. Kara SuLema: All of us have much to tell you. *Meanwhile, after taking a dingy to row yourself to Azaveyr's shore, you step off the boat when you reach dry land as you enter the Azaveyran forest.* <Character>: *deep breath* <Character>: Alrighty! Time to find my way to the Magesterium! *You move into the forest as you are set to find the Magesterium; some time later, you look around the forest before realizing that you are lost.* <Character>: Ugh... I think I'm lost...? <Character>: Too bad I don't have this continent's map. This would be much easier... <Character>: Stay calm. It's not like this is the first time you've been lost. <Character>: In a strange place. <Character>: With no knowledge of its dangers. <Character>: ... <Character>: First things first. Find a town. Or a village! <Character>: Or any sign of civilization... *You hear someone moving in the bushes, causing your eyes to widen in fear.* <Character>: Who's there?! Hello? *One of the locals named Ludomir peeks out the bushes to show himself to face you.* Ludomir: Umm... hello? <Character>: Oh, thank the Avatars! <Character>: Hello! <Character>: Do you perchance know how can I get to the Magesterium? Ludomir: The... Magesterium? Ludomir: Capitol? <Character>: Is Capitol where the Magesterium is? If so, then yes! That's correct! I'd like to know the road to the Capitol! Please. Ludomir: Umm... *Another local peeks out of the bushes to give you directions to bail save awkward Ludomir from getting anxiety caused by the subject of the conversation.* Izbor: Uuuh... if... if you keep going west, you'll stumble upon a road. This will be the main trading road. Izbor: Follow it, and you'll eventually get to the Capitol, after passing various villages. <Character>: Thank you so much! Goodbye! *With the directions to the Capitol given, you run through the forest while Ludomir and Izbor look at you as you run away from them; Izbor turns around to face at Ludomir.* Izbor: What was that about? *Ludomir doesn't say a word in response as he shrugs with a worrisome look on his face; you fight various monsters through the Azaveyran forest; eventually, you reach the village of Ull; after reach the village, you take a deep breath with a smile on your face.* <Character>: What a quaint little village! This sound of buzzing is so calming! The bees back home don't make such beautiful sounds. So fascinating! Villager: Well, hello there, stranger! Villager: I don't believe I've seen you around. Villager: How goes your day? <Character>: Oh, it's very... interesting! The name's <Character>. I'm looking for the uh, Magesterium. <Character>: I'm from the Land of Dragons, and I believe we have a common enemy- The Rose. I'm a hero, and an adventurer, and I'm seeking— Villager: A hero! Shapeless hold me! Villager: Good people of Ull! Villager: A hero is amongst us! <Character>: Umm... *Before you know it, you became surrounded by Ull's villagers, who have taken an interest on you the instant one of them announced your arrival.* Villagers: Oooooh! Villagers: Aaaaah! Villagers: A hero! <Character>: What's... happening? Villagers: <Is he/Is she/Are they> sanctioned by the Magesterium? Villagers: Oh, look at <his/her/their> biceps! Villagers: I don't know! Said <he/she/they> was from the Land of Dragons! Villagers: Oooooooooh! Villagers: From Smocha Gwova! <Character>: Ah, haha, yes, uh... haha... <Character> (thinking): This is awkward... <Character> (thinking): ... but pleasant. I could get used to it! Such a different reaction! <Character> (thinking): Is this culture shock? <Character>: Oh, your forest was infested with terrifying monsters and beasts! <Character>: I took care of them, I did! *The villagers' interest in you quickly turns to shock and panic once you implied that you clashed with the wildlife nearby.* Villagers: You... Villagers: Our household spirits? Villagers: Taken care of? Villagers: Killed?! <Character>: Huh?! Villagers: Murderer! Villagers: Sacrilege! Villagers: Our forest, befouled! <Character>: Let me explain! Villagers: What's gonna become of us? <Character>: I didn't know! I'm sorry! Villagers: This is no true hero! Desecrator! Villagers: Get <him/her/them>! *Frightened by the misunderstanding, you run away from Ull as its villagers formulate themselves as an angry mob and chase you.* <Character>: I'M SORRY!! <Character>: I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR CULTUREEEEEE!!! *Back in Sulen'Eska, King Alteon sits down on a mushroom as he becomes conflicted after Kara enlightens him about the situation that the Vind are in; Elanee, Svera, Leam, Niki, Melissa, and Mritha can be seen close by as they watch King Alteon admitting his guilt.* King Alteon: I— King Alteon: I didn't know. King Alteon: I didn't realize... Kara SuLema: I know, my King. It's a lot to take in. King Alteon: You... *King Alteon looks at Elanee, who glares at him in return.* 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 in Espina Rosa... King Alteon: In a prison... for loving someone they considered a monster... King Alteon: Someone *I* considered a monster... King Alteon: And you? What's your story, soldier? Leam: It's not as... tragic... as the ones you've heard so far. I used to be a member of the Rose. I witnessed many things that I would prefer not to remember. Leam: I could no longer reconcile myself with the goals of the Rose, so I left. I decided to help the resistance. King Alteon: The resistance- King Alteon: That's what you are, isn't it? Kara SuLema: Resistance can be a burdened word. Kara SuLema: I'd like to think we're simply the ones who walk on the right path, but then so thinks every creature that walks and breathes the wind. Kara SuLema: No. Kara SuLema: You Majesty! We fight for those who have the right to exist in this world! Kara SuLema: We desire more than anything to live in a world where magical and non-magical beings all have the right to both live and prosper. Kara SuLema: If Jaania's vision of a world without magic were to come to fruition... Kara SuLema: All peace and harmony you see here between magical and non-magical, human and non-human would be lost. King Alteon: ... *King Alteon looks down at the ground as he is conflicted by what The Rose told him and what he has learned about what the Vind stands for.* King Alteon: But... Jaania has done so much good... she showed me- Kara SuLema: Your Majesty, we honestly believe that what Jaania is doing is wrong. King Alteon: ... Just call me Alden. Kara SuLema: Oh... A-as you wish. King Alteon: I... King Alteon: Please, leave me. I need to think. *Kara's expression turned to sadness as she feels sorry for King Alteon for enlightening him of The Rose's wrongdoings.* Kara SuLema: Certainly. *Scene fades to black.* Complete Quest Quest Loot - opens CS Loot for DCs. Other information The glowing borowik mushrooms acted as a healing source during the quest (Do you want to eat this oddly colored and recover your HP/MP?). Thanks to Occavatra for original entry.
