Trial of Duty

Welcome, noble Knight. May the blessings of Einhasad be with you.

I am troubled by recent violence of the foreign races. We have lost many of our young in fights with them... Just six months ago, a fine, strapping young lad named Leon Athebaldt was killed in battle with the Breka Orcs.

He was a dashing young knight, sworn to serve Einhasad's holy will and protect the innocent. He took his vow in this very temple. He was an honorable and devout young man, nephew of the famous Sir Collin. He was even considered for canonization by the High Priest! We all had high hopes for him, for what he might acheive for the kingdom and for the Goddess of Light... ...but alas, he has been taken from us. Oh well, it was the will of Eisenhad.

Last winter a giant horde of blood-thirsty Breka Orcs swept in from the north and invaded Giran Castle Town. Those violent thugs looted homes and businesses, and even threatened the castle. They gave the Royal Guards quite a challenge.

Leon Athebaldt led his men in an attack on the Breka Orc Village encampment. With remarkable courage, they killed the

The Orcs have an appalling custom of carrying around the remains of their enemies as a sort of charm or amulet. They say that the more courageous the enemy, the greater the power... It is said that Athebaldt's remains were cut up into pieces and and fashioned into amulets for the Breka Orc Overlords. These creatures are fierce and violent! But I must give Leon a proper burial. Can you retrieve his remains for me?

Thank you so very much. Now we may finally hold a proper funeral for Leon Athebaldt. I have cremated part of his remains and put them into this urn. Please deliver it to Leon's uncle, Sir Collin Windawood. He is the Governor of Talking Island Village.

You fool! You are hardly worthy of the title you bear! Before you think of advancement, you must first improve your skills!

The calling I refer to may only be answered by a Knight. You should seek another guide.

Hello, young knight. May you be blessed by starlight. Welcome to the Hunters Village

True to Hannavalt's words, you have the talent to become a great Knight, but you are not quite ready this task. Please continue your training.

May the blessings of the starlight shine upon you. Hello, young warrior. Welcome to the Hunters Village. True to Hannavalt's words, you seem to have the potential to become a great Knight someday.

Let's briefly discuss the last virtue of a Knight, loyalty. Loyalty may be towards a lord, towards the teachings of the divine powers, or to a town and its residents whom you've sworn to protect... A good example would be the guards that risked their lives to battle the Leto lizardmen and protect this village. The loyalty they displayed in sacrificing their lives to protect their homes and loved ones is surely honorable indeed.

Well done! The guards' families will be eternally grateful for your services. The representative of the families has asked me to present you with this jewel. It is called the Tear of Loyalty.

Grandmaster Hannavalt has requested that you go to Father Dustin in Giran Castle Town. He shall give you your final task.

You must proceed with haste to Father Dustin in Giran Castle Town. He is preparing the last trial that you must face. With your admirable skills you should pass this test easily. I wish you luck.

Our religious traditions dictate that we can hold a funeral if we have the skull, ribs, and shinbone. Slay the Breka Orc Overlords and bring back Sir Athebaldt's skull, ribs, and shinbone.

One of the virtues that define a Knight's brilliance is dignity. But the meaning of dignity differs from person to person...

Right now, some group of gangs who knows nothing about dignity settled down in this Southern Entrance of Wastelands, and are disturbing the people around the area. By that I mean Harrod and his perpetrators, who was once a prestigious Knight of Gludio Castle Town

At the time with war against Grecia, Harrod was allured by the enemy's leader. So he betrayed us and became the agent of the invaders. Sir Karol Vasper who couldn't forgive his betrayal, chased after him tenaciously until he finally stuck in a spear into his heart. Karol said that 'A knight who abandoned his dignity is as good as dead' and without even holding a funeral, he dumped his body in Southern Entrance of Wastelands

Even God seemed to disapprove of his rest, so he had no peace even dead. The once-prestigious Knight had been degraded into a Cursed Village devil.

Perhaps the only thing that can free him from the curse is this rusted Knight sword. The undead skulls which are wondering around Southern Entrance of Wastelands are his perpetrators. As you terminate the filthy undead skulls one by one, you'll be able to confront the Spirit of Harrod in the end. Kill him with the sword I gave you, and remind him of the noble dignity of a Gludio Castle Town Knight. If possible, please bring something that he left as he died.

After all, the unfortunate Knight wasn't able to recover his dignity. All that is left for him is this tears of regret. What an intensive curse. So is it his fate to wander around Southern Entrance of Wastelands like that forever?... But he can't blame anyone else but himself.

Well done! You have completed my assignment successfully. However this is not the end of it. Now you must go to the Dark Elven Village Guild in Dion Castle Town and meet Sir Kiel Knighthawk. He will be waiting for you with your second task. By all means I hope that you complete the rest of your tasks successfully. I shall pray to Einhasad for your brilliance.

If you want to know about the second level of the trial, go and meet Sir Kiel Knighthawk. He is in the Dark Elven Village Guild of Dion Castle Town. By all means I hope that you complete the rest of your tasks successfully. I shall pray to Einhasad for your brilliance.

These! Are these the bones of Leon?! I heard he died a glorious death on the battle against Orcs... What a pity... Never did I know that I would meet you again like this, my nephew! I regret that we couldn't fight in the same battlefield!

Young Warrior, I give you my gratitude in the name of my family. I heard that you worked hard to recover his bones. Thank you so much. I wrote a letter in gratitude to you and the Einhasad shrine. Give this to Priest Dustin. From now on... I shall prepare for my nephew's funeral... Whew...

Young Warrior, thank you for recovering my nephews remains and bringing them back here. I give you my gratitude in the name of our family. Now please take the letter that I gave you to Priest Dustin of Giran Castle Town. Thank you. May the light of Einhasad lead you to the right way.

Well done! I thank you in the name of the church of Einhasad.

Sir Athebaldt will at last be at peace in the arms of Einhasad. The peace that we now enjoy would not have been possible without sacrifices such as this. Great things are achieved only at great cost... Sometimes a painful sacrifice must be made for the greater good.

I have written a letter commending your efforts. Take this to Grand Master Hannavalt.

Have you delivered Sir Leon Athebaldt's remains to his family? Sir Collin Windawood of Talking Island Village is expecting you.

You have done all that I asked. Do you still have the letter of commendation I gave you? Deliver it to Grand Master Hannavalt in Giran Castle Town.

Nice to meet you, young Warrior. I am Kiel Nighthawk of the Griffon Knight union. I already received a notice from Hannavalt

One of the virtues that define a Knight's brightness is a sense of justice. There is a miserable history in this land of Dion Castle Town because of the lack of justice. Especially the unfair mortification of Sir Talianus is such a case. Sir Talianus wrote in the report about the specific situations at the peasant's uprising. It was something that he prepared to give to the King, but unfortunately the report was torn into pieces and Sir Talianus was executed. The Soldiers who served him tried to collect the torn pages but even they were all killed.

Even until this day, there are some people who claim that they heard the voices of the Knight and his followers, wailing in agony. Thou who sticks to what he believed was right, but his spirits are still wandering on earth, unable to side with Shilen... I want you to carry out the justice that he couldn't complete.

Gather the pieces of the report and restore the contents of his articles. As you kill the undead of the Execution Ground one by one, you'll be able to gather the pieces of the report. Kill the strains and the ghouls to collect the torn pieces of the report. When you gather all the pieces and complete Talianus's Report bring it back to me.

The very report that Sir Talianus couldn't deliver to the King until the end... When you meet his spirit and promise him that you will deliver the report to the King of Town of Aden, he will finally be able to rest in peace. His spirits are now captured in the doomed tree of the Execution Ground. Take the Mirror of Orpic with you. There is power dwelling in this mirror which enables you to see the spirits of the dead. Go to the Execution Ground and get rid of the hanged man ripper who is suppressing the spirits of him. Then you shall be able to confront the ghost of Sir Talianus.

It seems that you have not yet met the Spirit of Sir Talianus. Let the spirits have the rest and peace it deserves. Go now to the Execution Ground and get rid of hanged man ripper to free Sir Talianus from his grief.

The report that I tried to give to the King... Please deliver it to the King of Town of Aden...

But, listen young Warrior... I have something to confess. The depth of my sin is deeper than the well... Until the day I pay off the debts of my sin, and until justice settles down on this land of Dion Castle Town, I shall not be able to rest in peace. I do not dare to...

Now that I hear your story, it occurs to me that there must be some other reasons why the spirits of Talianus can't rest in peace... I will have to do some more research on this.

As for you, you should now go to the Hunters Village to take the next stage in the trial. There at the Hunters Village you must meet Sir Isael Silvershadow.

The task of resolving Sir Talianus' spite was my trial for you. About the next stage of the trial, you should ask Sir Isael Silvershadow of the Hunters Village.

Greetings. So, you have received your calling? You needn't tell me what it is. The virtues, actions, and responsibilities that you have seen, heard, and felt are the true callings of the Knight. Keep that deeply in your heart.

Accept this Mark of the Calling. May the good will of Einhasad always remain in your heart...
