Knight Class/Frogzard/Level 10

One of Knight Class's eleventh quests and the final quest for Frogzard Knights.

Summary
Queen Tyranna has announced a tournament where the victor will be allowed to end the war on their terms. Cerin sees it as an opportunity to expose the truth about the other kingdoms and finally stop the bloodshed and sends the Chosen to represent Deren. S/he bests the leaders of the other orders, but it is clear that obtaining peace will be an uphill battle: General Herous promises to make him/her and Cerin regret their spying and Demon Lord Eir has no intention of letting the war end.

With the tournament over, the Chosen demands an immediate cessation of all hostilities. Tyranna takes the opportunity to disband the Crimson Legion, killing Eir herself when he objects. Herous and Tathlin refuse to go along with the ceasefire, however, prompting Cerin to step in and arrest them for warring against Stormfallen under false pretenses. He further announces that Deren is pulling out of the war and will ally itself with Stormfallen should Rennd and Granemor choose to reopen the conflict. Tathlin and Herous are undeterred and swear to resume the war once they have rebuilt their forces.

Dialogue
Cerin: I am proud to say that you are a fully-trained Frogzard Knight. I have no more skills to teach you, and I welcome you at my side defending Deren. Cerin: The Demon Queen Tyranna has offered a chance for us to participate in some sort of tournament, with the victor deciding the terms for the war's end. Cerin: Queen Tyranna could not have set up this trap more perfectly. No doubt our 'allies' will be there, providing us an opportunity to bring them to justice and the truth to light. Cerin: Win that tournament. If you can do so, we can expose the corruption that has infested these kingdoms and begin moving towards a lasting peace that has been many years overdue.
 * I understand.
 * Cerin: I knew you wouldn't let me down. I will be by your side when you win and the truth comes out.
 * Let's go!


 * I need more time to get ready.
 * Returns you to the Knight menu

'''You must compete against champions from each of the rival kingdoms! If you can beat them at their best, your kingdom will earn the right to dictate the terms for the end of the war! Don't forget to use your class armor! You must wear your kingdom's colors in battle!'''

 * HARD MODE

''Regardless of choice, the dialogue you receive is the same. If you are in Normal Mode, you must equip Frogzard Knight Armor to deal damage.''

1 BATTLE Normal: General Herous (70) Hard: General Herous (90)

Full Heal

General Herous: Young Knight, I know that you were the one who snuck into our castle and spied on us. General Herous: Cerin may think himself too clever for us, but he will come to regret this. And so shall you.

Herous leaves the scene.

«You»: (thinking) I hope not...

1 BATTLE: Normal: Sir Tathlin (70) Hard: Sir Tathlin (90)

Full Heal

Tathlin: I hold no quarrel with you, young Knight. I only wish that I would have the opportunity to face the demon's champion myself. Tathlin: Still, I will be glad when this war is over. My forces are weary from battle. It may be time for peace.

Tathlin leaves the scene.

«You»: (thinking) A pity, then, that peace will not be coming... at least, not for you.

1 BATTLE Normal: Demon Lord Eir (70) Hard: Demon Lord Eir (90)

Full Heal

Demon Lord Eir: A meaningless victory, foolish human. The war will continue for so long as I command the Crimson Legion! Demon Lord Eir: And next time that we meet in battle shall be your last!

Eir leaves the scene.

«You»: (thinking) I sincerely doubt that.

Tathlin, Cerin, Herous, Tyranna and Eir gather in the arena.

Tyranna: Congratulations, «You». You have won the tournament. Tyranna: Your kingdom may choose the terms of the war's conclusion. «You»: All of the kingdoms shall cease their war-making efforts from this moment on. Demon Lord Eir: Stormfallen has no need to end the war when we are so close to victory! Tyranna: Silence! Demon Lord Eir: ....my Queen? Tyranna: If that is your wish, human, then you shall have it. But Stormfallen is disbanding the Crimson Legion, effective immediately. Demon Lord Eir: But... my Queen! I have been loyal to you.... Tyranna: Do you think I was not aware of your experimentation with corruption magic? Or your refusal to grant safe harbor for civilians? Tyranna: You are hereby stripped of your title, and your legion is disbanded. Demon Lord Eir: I... I will not obey those orders! You are a weak queen, taking orders from a human! I shall....

Tyranna turns and strikes down Eir.

Tyranna: You shall do nothing, worm. General Herous: There is no way that we're going to end the war when Stormfallen is going to throw away its best troops! Tathlin: Indeed! I have not yet achieved justice for my kingdom! Tyranna: Not willing to hold to our agreement, then? Cerin, what do you have to say about this? Cerin: In the name of King Tralin of Deren, I hereby arrest you, Sir Tathlin of Rennd and General Herous of Granemor. «You»: Please come along with us quietly. General Herous: Arresting us? On what charges? Cerin: Your armies have been falsely perpetuating the war against Stormfallen. We have examined historical records and found that they have been falsified. Tathlin: What a slanderous lie! Cerin: Ah, but it is not. My king is certain enough of it that he is pulling his support from the war, effective immediately. Cerin: Any further attacks against Stormfallen will be treated as an act of war against Deren, with the appropriate reaction. Tathlin: We will never give up! We will take some time to prepare, but we shall return stronger than ever! General Herous: And my 'Emoran Knights will join in the battle! Cerin: I expected as much, sadly. Very well. Know that Deren will be prepared to come to Stormfallen's aid when you two foolishly choose to step out of line.

'''It seems that the endless war in the Western Expanse has ceased for now... but it is a very uneasy peace. Even now, the four kingdoms are rebuilding, gathering their strength for when the war begins anew. And when it does, all of Lore might be engulfed in the chaos that follows! Knowing this, you depart for other adventures... but you must remain ever-vigilant, for no one knows when the peace shall be broken....'''
