1000 years, the End of Lamentation

I've not left Dragon Valley since I led my men here so many years ago to battle Antharas...

I have accepted the inevitability of my eternal responsibility to watch over the beast. But my heart goes out to the loyal soldiers who lost their lives due to my stubborn ignorance. I have no other wish than to see their remains returned to their hometowns, but I fear that you are not up to the task...

I've not left Dragon Valley since I led my men here so many years ago to battle Antharas...

I have accepted the inevitability of my eternal responsibility to watch over the beast. But my heart goes out to the loyal soldiers who lost their lives due to my stubborn ignorance. I have no other wish than to see their remains returned to their hometowns so they can rest in peace.

• "I will help you."

I buried my former subordinates in a corner of this Valley in a region called the Watcher's Tomb. However, they strangely came back from the dead after Antharas and Desparion used their magic. My mind is still strong, but they turned into monsters after blood and death... These friends... creatures... are now called... 'Cave Servants'...

• "Carry on."

You probably know as well, but there were many, many people that tried to kill Antharas. None were able, but their death was not the end for all. While some were undoubtedly held by Shilen's grasp, others become Cave Servants. Right now, I don't even know how many Cave Servants exist in the Watcher's Tomb. What I can ask of you is to destroy as many Cave Servants as possible. Cave Servant, Archer, Warrior, Chief... Anything that has Cave in the name. Kill them and collect their relics, then bring them to me. I will reward you appropriately.

Is there something keeping you here? Why aren't you out killing cave servants? Bring me back any relics they leave behind.

Believe it or not we gave our lives willingly to save Giran! But we never counted on being here for eternity, let alone looking like this! It's been a thousand years and still I long for my mortal life...

• Give him the relics.

What's that? Oh, for some reason, I was sure that you had brought back relics. You should be out killing cave servants. You must do whatever you can to release my men from their endless torment.

Thank you! Please take this as a token of my appreciation. Thanks to you the noble soldiers can finally rest in peace... I am afraid that there are many more, however, who still wander this valley. Would you be willing to continue doing this for a while?

• "I will continue the work."
• "I quit."

Could it be? If my eyes aren't deceiving me this used to belong to a friend of mine...

• "Tell me more, Gilmore."

My personal aide wore this key around his neck. He stood by my side during the battle with Antharas 1,000 years ago. He was the first-born son in his family... This key was very important to him.

I believe one of his descendants is living in the Town of Giran. He has the family name of Rodemai.

I am bound to this valley so cannot go myself. Would you please take the key to Rodemai in the Town of Giran? I will pay you for your trouble.

This sword belonged to one of my aides who fought alongside me against Antharas 1,000 years ago. In the intervening years the blade must have rusted away and only this hilt is left. He was a swordsman without parallel...

It is said that one of his descendants is living in the Town of Oren. It is likely that he is following the family tradition of being a Duelist.

I am unable to leave this valley or I would take this relic to him. Would you please do this for me? I will pay you for your trouble.

This necklace belonged to a soldier that served under my command in the battle against Antharas. He was the finest Orc I've ever known, a true intellectual. Seriously! I'm fairly certain he was of aristocratic birth.

Come to think of it, I've seen that necklace elsewhere. It was worn by an Orc who was a High Prefect from Hunters Village.

I would take the necklace to him if I was able to leave this valley, but alas, I cannot. Would you please take it to him? I will compensate you well for your trouble.

This crucifix belonged to one of the brave young soldiers who accompanied me here 1,000 years ago to battle the beast Antharas. At that time it shone like the sun. Now it looks so old and weathered...

He worshipped in a temple that stood where Aden Castle stands now. Please go to the Town of Aden and take this crucifix to the temple of Einhasad. Show it to a High Priest at the temple, he will know what to do with it.

Even if I could leave the valley to travel there, an undead such as myself could never enter the temple. If you will do this for me I will pay you well.

Please go ahead and deliver the relic I gave you. You can come back and resume dispatching the cave servants afterwards.

Oh, you're back? Perhaps I should reward for your good work, hmm?

Now, while you're here, I'd like to ask you to help with the same task in your future endeavours, as there are other friends of mine who still cannot rest in the watcher's tomb. Would you do this for me again in a while?

• "Yes."
• "Sorry, I can't."

Oh, thank you! I knew I could depend on you. This could go on for a while. There seems to be no end of cave servants in this cursed valley.

Oh, well, you have done much good. I knew you wouldn't stay here forever, as I and my soldiers must do. Thank you for helping me and my men. Goodbye...

This is the first I've heard of that! I'm so sorry, obviously you've gone to a great deal of trouble for nothing... Wait a moment~

Could I take a closer look at that? This design is remarkably similar to the one engraved on a scabbard that I received from my father... I am beginning to believe you now.

I come from a long line of dualists! It has been a tradition in my family for over a thousand years! Charming, no?

Thank you, I will accept this... I wish I had more to offer you in return! Please accept these worthless trinkets as a token of my appreciation!

Your hilt has been taken to a Dwarven craftsman who will fashion a suitable blade for it... Aren't you excited?!

This necklace and statue prove that what you say is true. Last night I dreamed of an Orc. His large body was covered with scars and he was drenched in what must have been his enemy's blood. He gave me this necklace...

Thank you, young traveler. Now I shall give the necklace to you. Use it carefully.

I have entrusted the amulet necklace to my daughter, who I have sent north to the Orc Fortress. She will wear the necklace in battle. I pray the mighty spirit of her ancestor will watch over her.

Really! So the ancestors of the Rodemai family participated in the expedition to fight Antharas during the Elmoreden Empire?

Yes, that does sound familiar. My family has always been a self-sacrificing lot... This key proves it. So, how about that?

I appreciate your bringing me something so precious! Here, take this as a token of my appreciation for your hard work.

The recovery of this key has restored the honor of the Rodemai family. It actually traces our ancestry back to the time of the ancient empire! I hope that you will continue working for us...

This looks like a badge from our temple...? Don't tell me... Could it be a relic from the battle against Antharas 1,000 years ago? How could it be?

I have always feared that our efforts to slay Antharas have been in vain. This old badge tells me that our responsibilities cannot be avoided, no matter the cost.

Thank you, young traveler. Please take this small token of appreciation from our temple.

The badge is safe with other sacred relics deep within the temple. Many fail to grasp the significance of this old piece of metal, but I hear it calling me to my duty...
