|The hive has a single main pool of nectar we keep for the winter where it's all stored once the pollen has been refined. My sisters have been taking corrupted pollen home in huge amounts. I fear that has become the ongoing source of the corruption. If we can purify it, there's a chance the damage may yet be undone to my sisters...

The corruption spreading in the [[Old Forest]] has turned the local vesparans into sex-crazed bimbos. Azyrran, a Hive Knight on self-imposed exile, needs help purifying the hive's nectar pool to stop the breeding frenzy her queen is under and turn her people back to normal.

==Detailed Summary==
===The Hive Knight: Encounter===
----
The Champion will first encounter Azyrran in the tile before the [[Wayfort]]. As they make their way through the forest, and further into the corrupted parts of it, the Champion will hear the sound of angry buzzings and girlish laughter. Cautiously, they see a woman fighting against a group of effigies with a wolf. The leader spots the Champion, and they are forced into the '''Effigy Ambush''' fight, consisting of an allied Azyrran against 1 [[Effigy Archer]], 1 [[Verdant Wolf]], and 2 Effigies.

Regardless if the Champion wins or loses, this begins the events of this quest.

===The Hive Knight: Spar===
----
Having met Azyrran, the Champion can return to her at the same location anytime, there, they will have the option for a 1-on-1 '''Spar''' with her. Once victorious, Azyrran is confident in the Champion's abilities and explains the situation with her hive.

In normal cases, Azyrran would have the assistance of her fellow Hive Knights, however, she is alone and her hive has become corrupted just like the forest and effigies.
<tabber>
Has not defeated the Alraune=
She needs help, and the first step is to find someone who can cut through the massive vines and she needs to figure out what to do with her hive. If the Champion has completed [[Dog Days]], they will mention that they know lumberjacks who can cut through the vines. Azyrran is surprised by this and chimes in that they could either go to her hive or go to the Alraune directly - she adds that it would be better to deal with the hive first as her people could help deal with the Alraune.
|-|
Has defeated her=
Having already defeated the Alraune and cleared the vines, Azyrran states that she needs help and that they need to talk about her hive.
</tabber>

This unlocks the '''About the Hive Problem''' option. Note: Despite it being stated, the state of the vines has no impact on advancing this quest.

===About the Hive Problem===
----
In regards to the corruption of her hive, Azyrran has barely been back since the [[Tutorial|storm]], and when she did, her give has greatly changed from what she remembers. Her sisters have turned into sex fiends, devoid of reason and her mother, no longer the glorious warrior and now a bimbo incessant in spreading her eggs throughout the forest, regardless if anyone is willing or not. She assumes that since the hive has a single main pool for nectar, that the corrupted pollen has triggered a breeding frenzy in her mother. She wants the pool purified and hopes that the damage can be undone, as she was able to shrug off the corrupting influence and flee.

The problem is that the queen has turned into a corrupted honeypot and cannot be allowed to feed the hive from her own breasts as her honey is even more tainted than the hive's nectar pool, however, Azyrran cannot turn her lance against her mother so the Champion must be the one to subdue her.

In regards on where to start, since vesparans are children of [[Lumia]], one of her lightbringers could cleanse the pool. She's heard that a retired arch-paladin by the name of [[Brother Sanders|Ser Riordan Sanders]] resides in the [[Hawkethorne|little hamlet to the south]]. If the Champion can convince him to help, it would be a great help.

This unlocks the '''Hive Purification''' option with Brother Sanders.

===Sanders: Hive Purification===
----
At the [[Chapel of Velun]] in Hawkethorne, the Champion explains the situation with the hive to Sanders. He muses that while the hive have been good neighbors even before the corruption, he's far too old to help. He offers that an old [[Lumian]] contact from this crusading days, a [[Lady Lyana]], that was on her way take over the church in [[Maidensbridge]] across the [[Lake Tarahugan]] in the [[Harvest Valley]]. She had sent him a letter requesting to meet in the valley, but given the recent events, he's hasn't had the time to slip away for a social visit.

===The Lumian Paladin===
----
Proceeding southward to the [[Harvest Valley]], the sound of a sharp cry alerts the Champion as they see a woman driving away a pair of centaur. After seeing the Champion, she hopes that she didn't startle them and asks if the [[Frost Marches]] are always this dangerous, as she's already been accosted by two kinds of {{tt|horsefolk|[[Crazy Horse]] & [[Centaur Pack]]}} and a [[Lusina|topless mothfolk]]. The Champion answers that it's a recent development, and introduces themselves and they are looking for her on behalf of Sanders.

After correction a mix-up and explaining the situation with the hive, Liaden answers that she is a journeyman paladin accompanying her mother, Lyana, who went ahead to Maidensbridge to find help to deal with the chaos that's happening in the valley. Her duties of Lumia and her flock supersede her own interests, and she'll make her way to Azyrran and wait for them there.

===Rendezvous===
----
Having enlisted the aid of the journeyman paladin Liaden, the next time the Champion encounters Azyrran, they will find the two in deep conversation. Upon seeing the Champion, Azyrran is grateful to the Champion for finding a paladin to assist them. Liaden formulates a plan by taking advantage of the corrupted hornets' desire to spread their queen's egg - that she'll run decoy by tempting the guards and have them chase her while Azyrran and the Champion sneak into the hive and beat up the queen.

Azyrran voices that she cannot fight her own mother, but Liaden insists that they deal with her somehow, and hopefully while they're confronting the queen, that she'll call the guards back to she can climb up to the hive and meet her in the pool room once everything has been dealt with.

===Infiltration===
----
With the plan infirmed, the Champion is given the following options:
{|{{TabSet|Standard}}
!colspan="2"|Option ||width="300px"|Tooltip ||Result
|-
|colspan="2"|'''Ready''' ||- ||align="left"|

|-
|{{cw2|ardo}} ||'''Take Azzy''' ||''Azzy might not enjoy it, but you could really use the help here...'' ||align="left"|

*Azyrran will wait outside the queen's chamber for the final confrontation
|-
|colspan="2"|'''Not Yet''' ||''You need a little more time to prepare.'' ||align="left"|
*Puts the current quest on hold
|}
Once the Champion confirms that they're ready to begin with the plan, Azyrran leads them towards her hive. There Liaden throws a taunting shout towards the hive, attracting the attention of at least three dozen workers and dashes off into the direction of the [[Wayfort]]. With the entrance to the hive cleared, Azyrran and the Champion make their way into the hive.

===The Hornet Hive===
----
Once the Champion makes their way inside, the can tackle the following objectives in any order before obtaining the keys to the queen's chambers.

====Prince Nyze====
----
At the grand balcony overlooking the [[Hornet Hive]]'s honey pool, the Champion bears witness to the overflowing production of honey from the numerous bimbo workers. As each squeal of pleasure accompanies an explosion of honey into the pool, nothing breaks or slows the machine-like pace of production. 
<tabber>
Has Azyrran=
A voice yells out Azyrran's name, exclaiming that the traitor should have never returned. Azyrran answers back, that the spoiled child Nyze should hand over the key before she spanks him. A naked male drone, radiating an air of importance, strides into the Champion's view from the right side of the balcony.<br><br>If the Champion dealt with Jyrranaz first, he will grumble upon her failures. If not, he answers that he's unable to do that as she's nothing but a worthless outcast and mother has nothing to do with her.
|-|
Does not=
A voice calls out, intrigued to find someone who is not one of the hive. A naked male drone, radiating an air of importance, strides into the Champion's view from the right side of the balcony.<br><br>If the Champion dealt with Jyrranaz first, he will grumble upon her failures. If not, he muses that the Champion has the gall to enter their hive and assumes that they're here to meet the prince.
</tabber>
At the snap of his fingers, he is dressed and armed by the surrounding hornets as a trio of bimbos accompany him. Before the fight begins, he introduces himself as Prince Nyze, evaluating the Champion's worth if they have a vagina or not, and muses on how he'll play with them. Combat will begin against Prince Nyze and 3x [[Hornet Worker]]s.
<tabber>
Victory=
The Champion has the option of sexing a defeated Prince Nyze, or simply to leave him at the mercy of the other hornets.
|-|
Defeat=
Defeat results in the '''A Nyze End - Bad End'''.

==Trivia==
*Prior to 0.8.13, this quest and the initial interactions with Azyrran were significantly different, with a corrupted ending to the quest where the Champion throws Liaden in to the corrupted pool, corrupting her into the bimbo. This route has been completely removed as it lead to a dead end to 
{{Quote
|With that on the imminent horizon (and figuring a lot of people are going to be starting new saves around the time it drops), the team’s decided to go back and revise what to us has been a bit of a bugbear for a while now: the Hornet Hive, Alraune, and Azzy’s recruitment. There’s been a lot of community feedback over these events over the years that basically breaks down into the following issues: people don’t like the binary choice between killing or enthralling the Alraune; the Hornet Hive’s “corruption path” is basically a dead end; Azzy’s recruitment is so obtuse that there’s a pretty constant thread of people going “wait you can recruit her??” and I can’t really blame them.
