Path to Becoming a Lord - Innadril

My lord, don't you wish to rule the beautiful land of Innadril? Its residents wish only for a ruler who can bring them prosperity and affluence.

• "Do you think I can be that ruler?"

I believe you have the makings of a fine ruler for Innadril. But despite your obvious talent, you did seize this land by force. To become the true and undisputed lord of this territory, there is still something you must do.

• "What is it?"

Congratulations on your ascension to the lordship of Innadril. I trust you will rule wisely and well, my lord.

A true lord maintains his rule through the loyalty of his subjects rather than by force of arms. If you wish to become the undisputed lord of Innadril, you must gain the support of key local forces. Allow me to gather information so I can tell you who to meet. I will return shortly, my lord.

I am still gathering information, my lord. I will report to you as soon as possible.

Have you heard of Innadril's distinguished Heine family? They have dominated the territory's trade for a long time; their wealth is astounding!

But I have recently heard that Iason Heine, the head of the family, has suffered some sort of commercial loss recently. Perhaps if you were to help him resolve the problem, he would throw his support behind you -- then there would be no problems in you being inaugurated as lord of Innadril.

• "What is his problem?"

• "What is his problem?"

Some freight belonging to Iason Heine's family was stolen by the Tasaba Lizardmen. The Heine family is recruiting adventurers to recover the freight, and I think you might gain real advantage by offering your assistance. Obviously you should not personally volunteer, but I think it would be wise to send someone you can trust, someone well-equipped to succeed in a mission of this kind.

Hey! Are you looking for trouble? How dare you covet the lord's position? Go away before I loose the dogs on you!

(Only a lord of Innadril Castle may undertake this quest.)

How do I know that the lord has selected you? I must hear it from his lips!

(You can proceed only if the lord of Innadril is with you.)

Are you the one chosen by the lord to meet with Prince Iason Heine on his behalf?

• Say yes.

[your name], as the lord's representative you must help prince Iason Heine. Use your own judgment concerning your mandate. I trust you will do well.

Where did the lord go? I cannot give you the mission details unless I first verify that you are the one he has chosen. Bring him here quickly!

What are you doing? Go quickly to Prince Iason Heine and help him!

My lord, whom will you select to act on your behalf in this matter? Send him to me quickly.

My lord, your agent seems to have things well in hand. I believe we should trust him and await word of his activities.

I have been contacted by your agent, my lord. Iason Heine has pledged his support if you can destroy the alligators who infest Alligator Island. I suggest you lead your clan members there and slay as many of the beasts as possible. If you kill 100 of them, their population level will not recover. Your agent, meanwhile, can find the freight stolen from the Heine family. Your leadership will be more necessary on Alligator Island...

Most of the freight stolen from Iason Heine has been recovered. All that remains is for you to slay the alligators on Alligator Island.

You agent can recover Iason Heine's stolen freight, my lord. Your presence is needed if we are to slay the alligators on Alligator Island.

I am pleased to report that the alligator problem has been mostly resolved. Now we have only Iason Heine's stolen freight to deal with. I am sure your agent will soon be successful in that matter, my lord.

You have successfully resolved all that Iason Heine requested of you. The Heine family has already declared their support for your lordship. There is no obstacle to you assuming the throne now, my lord! I will inform everyone that we will proceed with the coronation as soon as possible.

• "I leave it to you."

I believe you should temporarily delay your plans to become lord. There are more immediate concerns you must attend to.

(The quest cannot be completed during a territory war or castle siege.)

This territory must be stable before you can become lord. I urge you to conclude alliances with nearby fortresses.

(You cannot become lord when a fortress is in an independent status.)

Understood, my lord!

I look forward to your wise and benevolent rule.

What brings you here?

If you have no business with me, kindly stay out of my way. I have no time to waste.

(You may proceed only if the lord is in the game.)

You are... What brings you here?

If you've no business here, kindly step aside. I have no time to waste!

You are... What brings you here?

If you've no business here, kindly step aside. I have no time to waste!

• "I heard you had some problems with some freight. Perhaps I can help..."

You are... What brings you here?

If you have no business here, kindly step aside. I have no time to waste!

(This stage is only for stewards designated by the lord.)

Where did you hear that?

Why did your lord send you here to offer help? I heard that he has ambitions to rule all Innadril. Is this part of his plan? As long as he can protect our business interests, I'm willing to support him.

But can you prove he has the power to do so?

• "Absolutely."

That's what I want to hear! Fine, let's see you prove it.

Innadril and Giran have just resolved a long-standing dispute about seaborne commerce rights, and full-scale trading between our two lands has finally begun. Unfortunately, it is already endangered by the lack of adequate protection. Even my family's losses have been significant!

To restore security, you must eliminate the monsters who roam freely around here. The alligators near Alligator Island are a particular thorn in my side. I'll also need help recovering my lost freight... I think 10 of your followers will do. If you do these things for me, I'll support your lord.

(Ten clan members must undertake the Black Swan quest. )

That's the spirit? But what will your lord think of your headstrong actions?

(You may proceed only if the lord is in the game.)

Have the creatures around Alligator Island been destroyed? And where are the stolen barrels I've asked you and your clan to help recover?

(Defeat over 1,000 specific types of monsters in and around Alligator Island with your clan leader. Complete the "cargo recovery" of Black Swan quest at least 10 times.)

Thanks to you, we recovered much of our freight. Well done! You may return to your lord.

And...tell him I would welcome his rule over this territory.

Some of our lost freight has been recovered, but Alligator Island is still as bad as ever. I trust that problem is being addressed even as we speak...

Why is a person like you looking for me?

(Only stewards designated by the lord may undertake this quest.)
