# Very well. Tell me your story. **Quest Group**: 3270989 **Steps**: 31 ## Summary [Recall] Jordine's Story ## Walkthrough ### Step 1 - **Reward**: Ah, I've prepared a special meal for you. The cook here is quite skilled, so please, give it a try. ### Step 2 - **Objective**: Very well. Tell me your story. - **Summary**: [Recall] Jordine's Story ### Step 3 - **Reward**: After the war, my life changed. It's not the most exciting tale, but would you care to listen? ### Step 4 - **Objective**: Is that really the only reason? - **Summary**: If you view it as just another slick politician's rhetoric "for the nation," it might be hard to grasp. I too am a citizen of a defeated country. The horrors of war were an unavoidable fate for my family as well. Indeed, my youth was a hedonistic blur of boozing, womanizing, and gambling. ### Step 5 - **Reward**: If you agree, I plan to introduce you to His Grace tomorrow. The wealth and honor I promised will follow. ### Step 6 - **Objective**: What do you have planned? - **Summary**: Calpheon crushed us because of those Black Crystals. And now they're taking them from our lands too. I yearn for my homeland to become a country of greater strength. A country that won't be infringed upon by foreign nations! The first step will be to reclaim the rights to the extraction mill. With those resources, we will be able to accomplish even greater feats. It won't be an easy task. Which is why Serendia needs more talents like you. ### Step 7 - **Reward**: The Black Crystals hold the potential to make our nation a political superpower, yet we are not even allowed to study and research them. ### Step 8 - **Objective**: The opportunity to grow stronger? - **Summary**: Our country may have lost the war—and our king his crown— but the victors did not strip us of our autonomy. While we may appear free to politic in our people's best interest, Calpheon continues to chip away at our rights one by one. Take the Black Crystal Extraction Mill for instance. Anything produced there is automatically property of Calpheon. ### Step 9 - **Reward**: But ever since that war... since our defeat, Serendia has been robbed of the opportunity to grow stronger as a nation. ### Step 10 - **Objective**: What do you think of Calpheon? - **Summary**: Let's be frank. The lives of Serendians have changed little under Calpheon's rule. His Grace has always been a king to his people, and I'm merely ruling in accordance to his wishes. Recently, due to issues with our finances, we've had to raise taxes. But rest assured, it's only a temporary measure. ### Step 11 - **Reward**: So, what brings you to me? For you, I can spare the time. ### Step 12 - **Reward**: Adventurer. Come. To my chambers. ### Step 13 - **Objective**: Please give me time to think over your offer. - **Summary**: Of course. I will await your answer. My Lady, please excuse me. I've a meeting to attend. ### Step 14 - **Reward**: I've been investigating a missing person case lately. When we next meet, I may have something to share on the matter. ### Step 15 - **Reward**: They are gaining strength by pillaging the surrounding area. We cannot let them extend their reach to Moretti Farm. ### Step 16 - **Reward**: If I am reckless in this matter, people will speak ill of not just me, but also of His Grace and Lady Jarette. ### Step 17 - **Objective**: Continue listening to Jordine. - **Summary**: I should be seeing to the Montverdel ruins personally, but my forces are currently engaged with the Biraghi Bandits. Moreover, the fact that Alfonso Rhundi and I were once friends is well known among the people of Serendia. ### Step 18 - **Reward**: Joe! ### Step 19 - **Objective**: Listen to Jordine. - **Summary**: My Lady. There is not a soul alive unaware of the threat that Lord Alfonso Rhundi's forces pose for Heidel. Our friendship is what's kept him alive this long, but the safety of this country is my top priority. As future inheritor of this dukedom, you must also be strong. The people look to you as a beacon of truth and justice. ### Step 20 - **Reward**: But Sir Jordine! That's... where Al is! He's your friend! You can't kill him! ### Step 21 - **Objective**: What do you ask of me? - **Summary**: There's a castle ruins to the southeast of Serendia. Land named Montverdel that once belonged to a Count. Now, it's nothing more than a den for traitors who discarded their oaths of loyalty like worn-out shoes. They must be brought to justice. ### Step 22 - **Reward**: For the happiness of the citizens of Serendia, will you help me fulfill this dream? ### Step 23 - **Dialogue**: Praise for you has been abundant in my circles. I simply couldn't resist extending an invitation to meet. ### Step 24 - **Reward**: They are gaining strength by pillaging the surrounding area. We cannot let them extend their reach to Moretti Farm. ### Step 25 - **Reward**: If I am reckless in this matter, people will speak ill of not just me, but also of His Grace and Lady Jarette. ### Step 26 - **Objective**: Continue listening to Jordine. - **Summary**: I should be seeing to the Montverdel ruins personally, but my forces are currently engaged with the Biraghi Bandits.
