Parley in the Sagolii script
|
|
Jenlyns
|
The recovery of Oathkeeper will be the first step in restoring the honor of the Sultansworn.
|
Jenlyns
|
I have told Solkzagyl that if he returns the sword, we will give him a fair trial.
|
Jenlyns
|
Otherwise, he shall be captured and thrown at the feet of the sultana for judgment.
|
Jenlyns
|
The parley is to take place south of Forgotten Springs in the Sagolii Desert. Give me your map and I will mark the location.
|
Jenlyns
|
While I believe he is acting alone, we must be prepared for anything─you may be certain that the Monetarists will not take kindly to his surrender.
|
Jenlyns
|
In fact, I believe that should the Monetarists discover Solkzagyl is willing to parley, they will surely try to intervene. Therefore, we must not speak of what we do, not to anyone.
|
Jenlyns
|
We should travel separately, so as not to attract attention. We shall meet again at the parley.
|
|
Jenlyns
|
So you dared to come. You are a brazen one, I will grant you that. But did you really think I wouldn't find out?
|
Jenlyns
|
Come, come, confess. My allies within the Sultansworn have told me the truth. I know you are working in league with the traitor and the Monetarists.
|
Jenlyns
|
Confess! With your dying breath, you will tell me where I can find Oathkeeper and the traitor who stole it!
|
Jenlyns
|
Do you dare accuse my own Sultansworn of lying? We are comrades-in-arms, every one of us, bound in brotherhood by our oath. I would trust them with my life. What is your word, when set against theirs? We know the meaning of honor!
|
Jenlyns
|
You are a naive fool. I suspected you from the beginning, ever since you showed me the Soul of the Paladin that the traitor Solkzagyl gave you.
|
Jenlyns
|
You were, no matter how briefly, a paladin, and as such, you are bound by a code of honor that is as unforgiving as it is noble.
|
Jenlyns
|
Traitor! I sentence you to death, and decree that your body shall lie here and feed the crows.
|
|
Jenlyns
|
You...you cannot do this. I am the greater swordsman. Your superior...in every way...
|
Solkzagyl
|
You were blinded, Jenlyns─by your own conviction.
|
Solkzagyl
|
Jenlyns, remember your own lesson! A paladin does not exist to defend his position or the honor of his fellow Sultansworn.
|
Solkzagyl
|
Those men were assassins, in service to the Monetarists. The moment you outlived your usefulness, you were to be killed. You and this free paladin of yours.
|
Jenlyns
|
Liar! You are their agent! You betrayed us for them...
|
Solkzagyl
|
You were always naive, Jenlyns─too willing to trust your fellow man. It's one of your virtues, but you have a deplorable habit of turning your virtues into vices...
|
Solkzagyl
|
Think! The information you uncovered─how did you come by it? Did it fall into your lap, as if―oh, I don't know―someone was feeding it to you for their own purposes? You and the paladins under your command are the Monetarists' lapdogs.
|
Solkzagyl
|
Jenlyns, you've been led a merry dance, and followed their lead at every step.
|
Jenlyns
|
Then...you were never a traitor? You were innocent? I...I have wronged you...
|
Solkzagyl
|
Easy now. Your wounds aren't mortal, but you still need to rest.
|
Solkzagyl
|
I'll take care of the captain. He's had worse, and we'll have him back on his feet soon enough.
|
Solkzagyl
|
You've become a fine warrior, and learned all there is to know about the way of the paladin. I think perhaps that you are not aware just how much you've grown. Well! 'Tis time you were made aware─paladin!
|
Solkzagyl
|
When the captain's recovered, keep an eye on him for me, will you? He needs someone like you to watch his back.
|
|
Jenlyns
|
Paladin, I have done you a great wrong. I allowed myself to be hoodwinked, accused you of treason, and even turned my sword against you. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
|
Jenlyns
|
As for me, yes, I am recovered from my wounds, at least those that will heal. But far more important than that, Solkzagyl is innocent, after all.
|
Jenlyns
|
He was never a traitor, and the dream that I followed in my youth was not a lie.
|
Jenlyns
|
I remain captain of the elite, although a poor substitute for my predecessor. I am now working on a plan to strike back at the Monetarists and restore the Sultansworn to its former strength.
|
Jenlyns
|
No, do not be afraid for me. We've unmasked the foe and he cannot hide behind his deceptions anymore. The assassins won't find it easy to reach me.
|
Jenlyns
|
For now, I will bide my time, marshal my strength, and, when the time is ripe, strike hard at our enemies.
|
Quest complete.
