Knight Class/Pria/Level 9

One of the Knight Class' optional tenth quests and Advanced Pria Knight Class Training's fifth quest, where you learn the final skill Evil's Bane.

Summary
The Chosen is finally invited to meet with the King of Rennd, but when he/she arrives to the throne room, he/she finds the throne empty and the room appears that it haven't been cleaned in years. Tathlin then enters and explain that the King have been dead for a few years now, killed by Algern in exchange for Tyranna's demonic power. The citizens of Rennd were not told about this in order to keep them hopeful in their war against the Demons.

After that the Chosen and Tathlin return to the training ground so Tathlin can teach him/her the final skill called Evil's Bane, but only those cleansed in the holy light of Rennd can utilize this technique. Tathlin brings forth the holy light of Rennd.

When it hits the Chosen, a knight in dark armor manifested: the sum of the darkest parts of the Chosen soul. In order to pass this final test the Chosen have to battle and defeat his/her Inner Darkness in order to be purified.

Once the Chosen have succeed in purifying himself/herself Tathlin wants to battle the Chosen one last time and once defeated, he proudly accepts the Chosen as a full-fledged Pria Knight.

Dialogue
Tathlin: My friend, I have excellent news! The king has granted you an audience.

Tathlin: You have convinced him to teach you our greatest technique, and he wishes to do so personally!

Tathlin: This is quite an honor, my friend. Our king is currently in his chambers. Let's not keep him waiting!


 * I'm ready!
 * I need more time to think about this.- (Returns you to the Knight menu.)

''If you choose the "I'm ready!" option'':

Tathlin: Excellent! I hope you remembered to bring your Pria Knight armor. You won't be allowed to train in anything else.

You equip the Pria Knight Armor and proceed to the king's chambers.

«You»: My king? I've come at your request....

«You»: Odd... doesn't seem to be anyone here.

«You»: Tathlin? Where is the king?

Tathlin: My friend, I can no longer find it in my heart to keep up the necessary pretenses.

Tathlin: Our king is dead. He died some time ago.

«You»: ....was it Algern?

Tathlin: Yes. Algern murdered our king in exchange for Tyranna's demonic power.

Tathlin: She had actually suggested it as a joke... she never imagined he would carry out the deed.

Tathlin: But once he did, that convinced her that she needed to keep him at her side as a loyal subject.

«You»: But Algern was too strong for her.

Tathlin: Yes. He was so strongly devoted to defeating his former master that nothing could bind his will.

Tathlin: Not even the Demon Queen's magic.

«You»: Why haven't you told anyone about this? Tried to hunt Algern down to pay for his crimes?

Tathlin: Can you imagine how the citizens would react to hear that their beloved king was murdered?

Tathlin: That the enemy was formerly one of their own, and how he easily slipped past the king's guard?

Tathlin: Their will would be broken. They would flee in droves.

«You»: Perhaps they should, Tathlin! Their lives are in great danger!

Tathlin: We are the last bastion that keeps the demons out of the East, «You»!

Tathlin: If we waver even slightly, all is lost! What would you have me do?

«You»: ....*sigh* Perhaps you're right. It is a terrible lie, but the people need their leader.

Tathlin: I thank you for understanding our situation, my friend.

Tathlin: Only our most loyal knights know the truth. And as promised, I have a skill to teach you.

Tathlin: This technique calls forth powerful, holy light to cleanse your foes. We call it Evil's Bane.

Tathlin: But only those cleansed in the holy light of Rennd can utilize this technique. Come, we have prepared your final trial outside.

Back at the practice grounds...

Tathlin: Let me explain what will happen here.

Tathlin: I will bring forth the holy light of Rennd. When it hits you, a knight in dark armor will manifest.

Tathlin: He is the sum of the darkest parts of your soul. You must vanquish him completely to purify yourself.

«You»: No problem!

Tathlin: Do not be so certain of yourself. He will continue to restore himself to life until you have been completely purified.

Tathlin: You may have to face him many times in a row. Do not relent!

''Tathlin raises his sword slightly as it turns a bright yellow. Blinding light surrounds the area and a knight clad in black armor confronts you.''

«You»: Come and face me!
