Knight Class/Emoran/Level 10

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

Summary
Queen Tyranna has announced a tournament where the victor will be allowed to end the war on their terms. Granemor's necromancer benefactors, however, have no desire to cut off their supply of corpses, so General Herous sends the Chosen to represent Granemor with the intention of continuing the conflict. S/he bests the leaders of the other orders, although Cerin seems to suspect something of Granemor's motives.

With the tournament over, s/he states Granemor's refusal to end the war. Tyranna, however, takes the moment to disband the Crimson Legion for its war crimes, killing Demon Lord Eir when he defies her, and insists that the war will end. When Herous objects, Cerin steps in to arrest him and Tathlin on charges of warring against Stormfallen under false pretenses. He further announces that Deren is pulling out of the war and will effectively ally itself with Stormfallen should Rennd and Granemor choose to reopen the conflict. Herous withdraws but promises to attack with renewed vigor once he and Tathlin have rebuilt their forces.

Dialogue
General Herous: I am proud to say that you are a fully-trained 'Emoran Knight. I have no more skills to teach you, and I welcome you at my side on the walls of Granemor. General Herous: The Demon Queen has sent a herald who claims that Tyranna no longer desires war. General Herous: She wishes to host a tournament in which the winner will be allowed to dictate the terms of the war's end. General Herous: Our generous benefactors have other ideas, however. Go to the tournament and win. Then we can force Tyranna to continue the war!
 * I'm ready.
 * General Herous: Thank you. I will be at your side when the fiends reveal and treachery they have planned.
 * Let's go!


 * I need more time to prepare.
 * 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 'Emoran Knight Armor to deal damage.''

1 BATTLE Normal: Cerin (70) Hard: Cerin (90)

Full Heal

Cerin: I hope that you are fighting for honorable reasons, young Knight, for you can be certain that your kingdom is not.

Cerin leaves the scene.

«You»: (thinking) What did he mean by that?

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»: Conclusion? I don't think so. Granemor intends to continue the war to the bitter end! Demon Lord Eir: At last, a human speaks some sense! Though you speak foolishly. You and all of your kind shall die! 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. Tyranna: As for you, human, I regret to inform you that you are mistaken. The war ends now. General Herous: You are going back on your word, now? Leave it to a demon to show no honor! Tyranna: You dare speak of honor, after the crimes you and the General here have committed? 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»: WHAT?!? I thought Deren's knights were our allies! 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. General Herous: Very well. We shall withdraw for now. But this is not the end of war, oh no. Merely the beginning. General Herous: We will build our forces, and when we are ready, the war shall begin in earnest!

'''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....'''
