Thus was born the legend of the “mad king’s trove.”Īlphinaud: Ah. The wealth of the poor sods he put to death became the property of the king, and it’s said that these royal treasures were hoarded somewhere in the palace. And so he ordered that every soul with a claim to the throne be executed─including his own family. In the latter years of his rule, he was seized by the unshakable belief that unseen forces were conspiring to steal his crown. The King of Ruin suffered no rivals, real or imagined, and his dispute with the monks of the Fist ended with Rhalgr’s Reach being burned to the ground. Now, the events I would speak of occurred before the occupation─back when Ala Mhigo was still a monarchy, and Theodoric sat the throne.Īlphinaud: A uniquely brutal despot, by all accounts.Īrenvald: That he was. It’ll be something of a history lesson, but I’ll try to be brief. See you there!Īrenvald: Allow me to explain. Wait for us by the aetheryte, and we’ll be along shortly. I want you fresh for our little adventure. (We move to a quieter part of Rhalgr’s Reach.)Īrenvald: I’ll get to the point: might you be interested in a spot of adventure? After all, we were “adventurers” before we were Scions, were we not? After routing the imperials and liberating Ala Mhigo, I reckon we’ve earned a bit of respite, don’t you? And what better way to spend it than by returning to our roots? So what say you: shall we call on Alphinaud and go adventuring? Arenvald, Paladin of the ScionsĪrenvald: Right then, let’s go and find Master Leveilleur. That said, this might not be the best place to talk. M’naago: Aye, aye, Commander! Lyse Hext, Commander of the Ala Mhigan ResistanceĪrenvald: Ah, there you are! I’ve been searching all over for you. Something tells me we’re going to be hosting a lot of meetings in the near future…But if that’s what it takes, I’m ready to talk till my jaw aches! The Reach is yours, Naago. For the time being, we’re just going to have to keep leaning on General Aldynn and the Alliance for support, and see if we can’t find a solution together. M’naago: Suffice it to say, our people have had their fill of kings─which means we need to find a new way forward.

Theodoric was our last ruler─and he wasn’t called the mad king for nothing. The Domans had Lord Hien ready and willing to take the throne, but we’ve got no one like that here. Lyse: Come to see how we’re getting on? We’ve made good progress since we took back Ala Mhigo, but there’s one big issue we still have to address…Leadership. (Speaking to Lyse and M’naago in Rhalg’r’s Reach) I’ve also adjusted the format slightly from the one I used for the main Stormblood questline text files.

Some dialogue may be slightly different for your character. Note: I did these story quests on my alternate character, Diana, who is a Femroe Paladin and a First Lieutenant in the Maelstrom.
