Good, Th-then I must speak to th-the lady of the castle! P-please, if it's not too much trouble... could you g-guide me? I've never been south of the River Ridell. I'm sure I c-could make it on my own, if I have to, but... but it would be a lot easier with help. And I can be useful, if you need. It might not seem like it given my circumstances, but I'm pretty good with a bow, and I know some magic. I'm a falconer, too! My war-bird got chased off by the demon with a hurt beak when he went for her eyes, but I'm sure he'll turn up if I call!

Etheryn


Having rescued Etheryn from her bindings at the Ruined Wayfort, she asks for the Champion's aid by guiding her to Castle Hawkstone to meet The Baroness.

State Acquisition Description
0 Etheryn seems intent on getting to Castle Hawkstone, seat of the Frost March's hereditary baron. As a princess of the Winter City, she's likely got something important to say during this meeting — accompanying her would doubtless benefit you as well.
1
(completed)
Etheryn had the opportunity to meet with Baroness Carmen Reverra, but was denied any support — it seems Hawkstone has nothing to offer, even if the baroness wanted to help her. You'll have to bring Ryn to the Winter City yourself if she's ever to secure her homeland and depose her corrupted sister.
2
(failed)
Events have progressed too far for Hawkethorne's reclusive nobility to be of any help; even if the Baroness of Hawkstone wanted to help Etheryn, there's nothing she could do now on the cusp of Kasyrra's victory over the Winter City.

Acquisition

  • There are three slightly different ways to acquire this quest:
    • After meeting Etheryn at the Ruined Wayfort, refusing to guide her and then after meeting her at Castle Hawkstone; talking to her at the Frost Hound
    • After meeting Etheryn at the Ruined Wayfort, and bringing her in as a companion; talking to her at camp or the Frost Hound and has not travelled with her to Castle Hawkstone
    • After meeting Etheryn at the Ruined Wayfort, and bringing her in as a companion; and bringing her Castle Hawkstone (this method skips past state 0 and directly completes the quest)

Detailed Summary

Introductions


If the Champion had refused to guide Etheryn and later met her at Castle Hawkstone, and now approaches her at The Frost Hound; or approaching her as a companion whether that be at camp or the inn for the first time.

The Champion can decide to check up on Etheryn, in which they take a seat next to her - the mere act of approaching makes her recoil and she leans away from them, as if expecting to be hit. After a few moments of nothing, she forces herself to relax and sheepishly says hello. The Champion is forced to take the initiative to get her to talk about Winter City, to which she explains that Njorhaalt is the home of all boreal elves and that its been at least a hundred years since any of them travelled this far south. When asked why she left, she explains that there is something wrong in the city, that the queen had locked herself in her chambers and the guards have changed, going from just mean to evil, and unfortunately, no one in the city will listen. The old treaty of alliance between Winter City and the Frost Marches guarantees a mutual aid in times of crisis. A Champion with the Noble Scion or Scholar background will ask who is she to call upon old treaties; else, they will ask why she thinks the baroness will listen to her. She shrugs, explaining that she is a princess, "Duchess Etheryn var Ridell, Daughter of Queen Alraince", although she prefers to called Ryn as she never liked titles or formalities unlike her sister, the current queen. She was afraid that her sister's guards would really hurt her so she fled to look for help. With the treaty, whoever is the Lord of Hawkstone is now obliged to protect her, and maybe she can make the baroness listen to her.

Before she can say anything else, a bird with bloody-red feathers bursts in with a banshee-like screech. Etheryn immediately runs towards the beast and calls its name, before landing on one of her leather bracers. She praises the bird, and if Arona is present, she swears and states that the bird is worse than a harpy. She introduces her bird as Harrick, and gives a big genuine smile as she states that she let him loose before she fled the city as she was afraid that her sister would hurt him. She had been raising his lineage since she was a child, but he followed her - while Etheryn is giddy with excitement, the bird looks hatefully at everything except Etheryn.
