Pre-quest

Talking to Queen Sigrid before the quest

• Queen Sigrid: Hello.
• Player: Er...Hello, Your Majesty.
• Queen Sigrid: Have you come for a particular reason? I am a busy Queen, you know. I had to attend the opening of a new orphanage this morning.
• Player: Yes, I...
• Queen Sigrid: And this afternoon I shall be receiving the Embassador of Karamja and accompanying him on his week-long tour of Etceteria.
• Player: Er, I...
• Queen Sigrid: Then this evening we shall be putting on a grand ball! All of the kingdom's nobility will be present!
• Player: If I m...
• Queen Sigrid: Oh, who am I kidding...nothing ever happens here. I always wanted to be a princess when I was a girl. If I'd been told it would be like this, I wouldn't have bothered.
• Player: Your Majesty!
• Queen Sigrid: Yes? Did you want something?
• Player: ...actually, no.

Talking to Guard at door to throne room

• Guard: Halt! Who goes there?
• Player: My name is [Fremennik name], will you not let me through?
• Guard: I'm afraid the King won't give an audience to anyone except a worthy hero.
• If the player has not completed Heroes' quest:
  • Guard: If you become a member of the Heroes' Guild, he will definitely grant you an audience.
  • (End of dialogue)
• Player: I am a member of the Heroes' Guild; does that not show my worth?
• Guard: Then you may pass.

• (End of dialogue)

Getting started

Talking to King Vargas

• King Vargas: Who are you? Who seeks audience with the King of this fair land of Miscellania?
• Player: I am known in these lands as [Fremennik name], Your Majesty. I come in search of a quest.
• King Vargas: Ah, it pleases me to see such enthusiasm!
• King Vargas: I was once an adventurer such as yourself; even while fulfilling my duties as King of Miscellania, I would roam the lands in search of adventure, and strike down mighty foes with a single blow!
• King Vargas: Unfortunately, I was a little too daring, and attempted to brave the icelands, where I finally met my match.
• King Vargas: I survived, barely, but I was cursed for the rest of my life to stay in this form. Which leaves me incapable of performing my duties as ruler.
• King Vargas: This is why I am looking for an exceptional soul to be regent of this fair kingdom of Miscellania.
• Start the Throne of Miscellania quest?
• Yes.
  • Player: If I may be so bold, Your Majesty, I think Miscellania would rest in capable hands with me.
  • King Vargas: Hahaha! You are bold, [Fremennik name], but then I have yet to see a good ruler who was not.
  • King Vargas: You will first have to demonstrate your worth. You are a good warrior, that I do not doubt; however ruling also requires a good grasp of diplomacy.
  • King Vargas: We have been at war with neighbouring Etceteria for hundreds of years; however, I think both of us have rather lost our appetite for hostilities.
  • King Vargas: Now may be an opportune time to make amends. If you manage to negotiate peace with them, then you will truly have shown your skill as a diplomat.
  • Player: Then do not stray far, Your Majesty, for I shall soon return.
  • King Vargas: Wait! There is one more matter to discuss... a mere formality, of course.
  • King Vargas: By Miscellanious tradition, one may not become regent of the kingdom unless in the trust of the royal family.
  • King Vargas: This includes that of the future king or queen. It is yet too early for me to decide which of my children should inherit the throne.
  • King Vargas: Until then, gaining the trust of one of them should suffice. Who knows? Your choice might help me make a decision later.
  • King Vargas: So tell me! Which of my children will you attempt to gain the trust of?
  • Select an Option
  • I want to earn Prince Brand's approval.
    • Player: I would like to choose Prince Brand.
    • Player: And you say this is a mere formality, Your Majesty?
    • King Vargas: I am sure you can form a good working relationship with him. You can ask Ghrim for advice; that's what he's here for, after all.
    • (End of dialogue)
  • I want to earn Princess Astrid's approval.
    • Player: I would like to choose Princess Astrid.
    • Player: And you say this is a mere formality, Your Majesty?
    • King Vargas: I am sure you can form a good working relationship with her. You can ask Ghrim for advice; that's what he's here for, after all.
    • (End of dialogue)
• No.
  • Player: I'm afraid I must decline, Your Majesty. The call of adventure is too strong for me to accept a sedentary life.
  • King Vargas: I can assure you that I managed to heed that same call, and ruling this land was no hindrance to me. However, I understand your decision. Fare thee well!
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to King Vargas again after starting the quest

• Select an Option
• (If the player is gaining the approval of Princess Astrid:) I want to earn Prince Brand's approval instead.
  • Player: I want to earn Prince Brand's approval instead.
  • King Vargas: Is that so? I can let them both know, but you may find that the Prince has taken the news rather coldly. A broken trust is difficult to mend.

    • (Same as above)
  • No, I changed my mind.
    • (Same as above)

  • (End of dialogue)
• How am I supposed to gain the trust of the Prince?
  • Player: How am I supposed to gain the trust of the Prince?
  • Advisor Ghrim: I think you may find that talking to him would be a good way to start.
  • Advisor Ghrim: A ring may be an appropriate gift to formalise your friendship
  • (End of dialogue)

  • Select an Option

    • Player: What can you tell me about the King?

    • (End of dialogue)
  • What can you tell me about the Prince?
    • Player: What can you tell me about the Prince?
    • Advisor Ghrim: Prince Brand has always dreamed of becoming a famous bard; unfortunately, his musical and literary skills are somewhat lacking.
    • Advisor Ghrim: He has no interest in ruling the kingdom, and seems to spend his time daydreaming or composing quite awful poems, and sagas of totally mundane events.
    • Advisor Ghrim: He is rather vain, if you'll pardon my saying so; he will greatly appreciate any compliments on his poetry. He also has quite a sweet tooth.
    • (End of dialogue)
  • What can you tell me about the Princess?
    • Player: What can you tell me about the Princess?
    • Advisor Ghrim: Princess Astrid thinks she'd be perfectly capable of ruling the kingdom, but her father doesn't trust her enough by herself.
    • Advisor Ghrim: Especially since she devotes herself to the - as the King sees it - cowardly skill of archery rather than the noble skill of melee combat...
    • Advisor Ghrim: She is fond of jewellery, and of course she collects bows. She is also quite the conversationalist.
    • If the player has not gained the trust of Princess Astrid:
      • Advisor Ghrim: Many have tried to capture her attention, but she has yet to be impressed by any of them.
      • (End of dialogue)
    • If the player has gained the trust of Princess Astrid:
      • Advisor Ghrim: Many have tried to capture her attention, but you are the first to succeed.
      • (End of dialogue)
  • What can you tell me about Queen Sigrid?
    • Player: What can you tell me about Queen Sigrid?
    • Advisor Ghrim: Queen Sigrid is quite envious of King Vargas, since he has the larger kingdom.
    • Advisor Ghrim: The King and she have never seen eye-to-eye, but I think if you approach her you may find her quite reasonable.

• Prince Brand: Good day, [Sir/Madam].

• Prince Brand: ...you have to earn my approval?
• Player: Yes, Your Royal Highness.
• Prince Brand: Ahahahaha!
• Prince Brand: Come now, what interest would I have in a crass adventurer like yourself? What would you know of the poetry that flows through my veins like an avalanche through a peaceful mountain village?
• Player: I think you may find I know good poetry when I see it, Your Royal Highness...
• Prince Brand: This may be the case. I am willing to give you a chance; if you impress me enough, I will consider trusting you as our regent.
