52 48 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SYSTEM_100_001 In order to undertake this quest, you must first complete the main scenario quest “Acht-la Ormh Inn.”
53 49 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_001 Exemplary timing, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. 'Twas not more than a moment ago that Granson returned, having at last obliged my humble request.
54 50 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_002 Humble request my arse. This one's no better than a Eulmoran aristocrat, so accustomed to making others do their bidding. I tell you, there's something off-putting about taking orders from a dog─
55 51 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_003 Ere you continue and give me cause to reconsider aiding your hunt, perhaps you should ask your questions.
56 52 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_004 Fine. <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> said <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> saw a vision of you and Branden looking thick as thieves. You were friends, eh? Know what he's up to now?
57 53 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_005 Branden is dead. He died a century ago, together with his comrades in an attempt to halt the Flood that they themselves set in motion. I presume you speak of the eater that took possession of his corpse.
58 54 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_006 Dikaiosyne, aye. But unlike most eaters, he's been doing more than roam about aimlessly. For some reason he's been hunting down royal treasures of old Voeburt...
59 55 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_007 ...And he's been killing anyone who got in his way.
60 56 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_008 Is he now? Heh, what irony. Even in death he remains a slave to duty. A knight brave and true─
61 57 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_009 He's a murderer, and I'll not hear it said otherwise. He ruined my life─killed my beloved right before my very eyes! Every night I go to bed dreaming of the day I'll take my revenge.
62 58 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_010 ...Oh. I see. Truly, you have suffered a terrible loss...but while your thirst for vengeance is quite natural and understandable, it is ultimately misguided.
63 59 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_011 Unusual behavior notwithstanding, Dikaiosyne is nevertheless no more than an eater. To hate him is to hate the sea that claims the ship─the disease that steals the child, the tremor that topples the home. The mindless force of nature that begets destruction, driven by fragmented memory─
64 60 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_012 Don't you dare make excuses for him! You think I wanted any of this!? I grew up on a farm. I could barely wield a sword! And now I've got to kill one of the bloody Cardinal Virtues!
65 61 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_013 Hate and anger and vengeance are all I've got now! My every waking moment is dedicated to plotting his death. It has to be! <Emphasis>It has to be</Emphasis>!
66 62 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_014 So just tell us where the godsdamned ring is and we'll be on our way!
67 63 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_015 This is how it has to be, hmm? Who <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> have to be?
68 64 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_016 Nay, I think not. You ask too much─demand far, far too much─and in exchange for what? This I cannot abide.
69 65 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_017 Are you trying to <Emphasis>barter</Emphasis> with me!? You little shite─tell me what I want to know or I'll beat it out of you!
70 66 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_018 Back off <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! I won't let anyone or anything stand between me and Milinda's murderer!
71 67 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_019 ...Branden was a dear friend. To know that an eater disgraces his flesh and his memory pains me more than I can well express.
72 68 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_020 It would bring me great comfort if you were to grant him peace.
73 69 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_021 I should like to share with you a story. If you would be so kind as to join me in Lyhe Ghiah...
74 70 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_022 This had better have a point...
75 71 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_025 Oh, you've returned. They made me go and gather a bunch of strange mushrooms, so hopefully we can finally get some answers...
76 72 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_050 'Tis beautiful, even now. A palace of forgotten dreams. But before it was Lyhe Ghiah, in the time of Voeburt, it was Gruenes Licht.
77 73 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_051 The memory of mine in which you walked was of a troubled time, when the people of our kingdom were preyed upon by an ambitious fool...
78 74 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_052 Branden, then a young knight who had only just won his spurs, had caught the eye of Princess Sauldia, who chose him as her personal guardian. However, he was far too inexperienced, and was unable to keep her safe when she ventured outside these walls on one of her “investigations.”
79 75 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_053 For his failure, he was stripped of his knighthood, and shortly thereafter he quit Voeburt. I thought I would never see him again...
80 76 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_054 But then, one day, he returned─one of several wandering adventurers led by a man named Ardbert, who had accepted our invitation to look into the mysterious transformations, which had continued unabated in Branden's absence.
81 77 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_055 Lady Sauldia was overjoyed, and for a time it was like nothing had changed. They spoke often and grew even closer...
82 78 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_056 And then came the day when we learned the truth─
83 79 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_057 When we learned that the architect of our kingdom's suffering was none other than the court mage, Tadric...
84 80 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_WARRIOROFDARKNESS_000_058 It's him, Branden. I'm sorry.
85 81 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_BRANDEN_000_059 ...So am I. Come─let's have done with it.
86 82 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_BRANDEN_000_060 It was you, Tadric─do not deny it! Tormenting our people, twisting and transforming them into monsters...and for what!?
87 83 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_TADRIC_000_061 Branden, Branden, Branden. And after I took such pains to be rid of you...
88 84 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_BRANDEN_000_062 You may strip me of my titles but not my oaths. I shall serve Lady Sauldia till my dying breath!
89 85 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_TADRIC_000_063 As you like. Once I have killed you and your friends, there will be no one left to stop me from claiming the throne!
90 86 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_TADRIC_000_064 Hear me, my children! The hour of reckoning is at hand! Rejoice, for in noble sacrifice shall you find everlasting glory!
91 87 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_YOUNGMAGE03247_100_064 Lord Tadric, it...it hurts...
92 88 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_TADRIC_100_064 Soon you shall know no more pain.
93 89 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_BRANDEN_000_065 I was going to make it quick. For old time's sake. But now...now I think I ought to take my time...
94 90 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SYSTEM_000_066
95 91 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_TADRIC_000_067 Meddlesome wretch! This kingdom is by rights mine!
96 92 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SAULDIA_000_068 Branden? What is the meaning of this!?
97 93 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SAULDIA_000_069 Tadric, you... But why, after serving us faithfully for so many years─
98 94 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_TADRIC_000_070 I am no servant! No servant! Not of your mother or father...or you!
99 95 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_071 My lady!
100 96 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_WARRIOROFDARKNESS_000_072 Godsdamn you!
101 97 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_BRANDEN_000_073 Lady Sauldia! Speak to me!
102 98 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SAULDIA_000_074 Branden. My dear, brave Branden... Am I...your princess still? Would you honor your vows, even now?
103 99 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_BRANDEN_000_075 Now and ever after, my lady. My sword is yours to command.
104 100 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SAULDIA_000_076 That...that is well. Would that I had the strength to wield it myself...
105 101 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SAULDIA_000_077 Steel your heart, brave Branden, and for the good of Voeburt...and her people...
106 102 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_BRANDEN_000_078 No...no, no! I cannot! I will not!
107 103 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SAULDIA_000_079 Honor your vows. To your kingdom... To your princess...
108 104 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SAULDIA_000_080 (-Sauldia-)To...to your friend... Who never doubted you. Who knew...knew that you...would return...and see justice...justice...
109 105 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_BRANDEN_000_081 ...No. It should be me.
110 106 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SAULDIA_000_082 (-Sauldia-)Branden...my sword...now and...ever after...
111 107 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_CYLVA_000_083 We've rounded up the rest of Tadric's co-conspirators and tossed them in the gaol. The ones who hadn't been corrupted by his magicks, that is...
112 108 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_BRANDEN_000_084 I'll not hesitate again. No matter the cost─no matter the sacrifice...
113 109 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_085 Well? You saw what happened?
114 110 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_086 Wicked white. She begged him to do it. Like Milinda...
115 111 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_087 Come. Let us quit this place and return to Pla Enni.
116 112 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_090 Why are we here again?
117 113 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_100 Do you know why I entered into the royal family's service many long years ago?
118 114 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_101 Because when I was attacked by a wild beast which nearly tore me to shreds, it was Lady Sauldia who came to my rescue.
119 115 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_102 She saved me─and that is a debt that can never be repaid, for there is naught in this world which holds greater value than life itself.
120 116 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_103 Not even her death absolves me of it, and so I must always first consider her wishes, her desires─what she would want for me and her kingdom. For Branden, and yes, even for you, Granson...
121 117 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_104 For me...?
122 118 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_105 To define oneself in opposition to the other─an other bereft of complexity of nuance, wholly devoid of redeeming qualities. A villain. Indeed, there is comfort and certainty in hatred...
123 119 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_106 But it is a false and fleeting comfort. Bought with lies we tell ourselves about who we are, what we must be, what we must do. And never you mind the cost─if anything, the more we offer up in sacrifice, the better!
124 120 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_107 Do you not see? Branden was <Emphasis>right</Emphasis> to hesitate. To doubt. The unwavering blade cares not whom it serves nor who it cuts.
125 121 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_GRANSON_000_108 I...I think I need a moment...
126 122 TEXT_LUCKBA141_03247_SULOUL_000_109 Perhaps you do as well. Leave us for now, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
