Path to Becoming a Lord - Aden

My lord, Aden is a fertile land rich in culture and religion. Its citizens seek a wise and just ruler.

• "Do you think I can be that ruler?"

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

You have all the makings of a great lord! Remember, though, that Aden is greatly influenced by the Temple of Einhasad. If you want a secure reign, you should go to the Temple and win the support of High Priest Orven.

Show Orven the dignity and grace that only the true lord of Aden possesses.

Your meeting with Orven went well, I trust? Excellent! We will make plans for your official coronation at once, my lord.

• "I leave it in your hands."

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.

Aren't you the castle lord of the Town of Aden. How may I help you?

• "I want to be the Lord of Aden, and I need your support."

Ah, you want to rule Aden territory. Fine with me! But do you really love Aden enough to rule it?

• "How can I prove that I do?"

One way is to protect our rich history. There are a great many historical sites that have fallen into disrepair and decay. The National Cemetery and the many devastated castles in our territory are perhaps the saddest examples.

You know, don't you, that a group of Taik Orcs have settled in the National Cemetery? What desecration! Defeat them and drive them out so we may reclaim an important part of our heritage. Then I'll support your bid for the lordship. I also ask that you send me 5 of your most capable followers. I have a mission for them as well.

My lord, you promised to restore the rich heritage of this great land. You must keep your word!

I heard of your efforts to reclaim the National Cemetery. Well done! Now I ask for 5 of your most capable followers. I have a mission for them.

(Five clan members must undertake the Sleepless Deadman quest. )

Thanks to your followers, I can lay many spirits to rest. I only wish your efforts to reclaim the National Cemetery were as successful. Please redouble your efforts if you wish to earn my support.

I won't forget what you showed me. As its ruler, it will fall to you to protect the rich heritage and history of Aden, as well as the present. I hope you will rule wisely!
