Quest-Related EventsEdit

A Sea of TroublesEdit

When you enter Suncleft Grotto, you will witness Sealord Nalos with the kidnapped Druid Niraya:

Sealord Nalos: "This one has the information I seek. We simply need to extract it from her."

Sealord Nalos: "I'll take her with me to the keep. Dispose of the rest as you wish, but do not tarry long."

Druid Niraya: "No! Please! Don't hurt them. You only need me!"

Tides of RuinEdit

You will later find out Druid Niraya was brought to Castle Tonnere, and you will attempt to rescue her along with Sir Stefan Mornard and retrieve the Sacred Seed of the Eldertide. Soon after you enter the old dungeons, you can eavesdrop on Sealord Nalos speaking with Captain Uldiss, behind them Niraya is tied up. Nalos will say Niraya broke and told him the location of the seed. Before anything else happens Captain Siravaen arrives and chases after Nalos, Captain Uldiss meanwhile goes after the seed and Niraya is left along.

After you free Sir Stefan, you go back for Druid Niraya. When you reach the room Niraya was left in, Sir Stefan will run over to her:

Sir Stefan Mornard: "Niraya! I'll cut you free. Hold on."

<Sir Stefan unties her bonds and she stands up.>

Druid Niraya: "The seed. They're after the Eldertide seed."

You can then speak with Druid Niraya:

"You and Sir Stefan are too late. I was … weak. I told the Dreadsails about my circle's most-guarded secret. Leave me behind and stop them. Before they escape with the Eldertide relic."

Archdruid Ellic asked me to find you and recover the Eldertide seed.

"The archdruid sent you? Then perhaps there's still hope. I hid the seed in an ancient Eldertide shrine below the castle. But Sealord Nalos forced me to tell him how to find it.
If only I'd been a little stronger."

We can still stop Sealord Nalos. Where is the shrine?

"There's an ancient tree in the castle's upper courtyard. The door to the shrine lies hidden within its roots. Captain Uldiss heads there as we speak.
Please. Don't let the Sea Elves take the sacred seed."

I'll find the shrine and retrieve the Eldertide seed.

You can continue speaking with her and ask her some more questions:

"Go ahead, mainlander. Look for the ancient tree in the upper courtyard. I just need a moment to catch my breath, and then I'll be right behind you."

Tell me about the Eldertide shrine.

"This old keep stands above a pristine cavern, forgotten by all but the druids of my circle. After the lords of Tonnere abandoned their castle, we reclaimed our ancient shrine. It serves as a secret meeting place and refuge when the need arises."

Why did you hide the sacred seed here?

"When Archdruid Orlaith demanded our seed, we decided it was no longer safe in Tuinh. Ellic told me to take the seed and hide it. This was the most secret place I could think of.
I didn't know the Dreadsails were coming, though."

Have you seen any other prisoners here?

"Yes. There are Sea Elves held in the castle above. Traitors or outcasts among their own kind, I guess. I saw them once or twice when I was taken for questioning, but I didn't get a chance to speak with them."

Do you know where they are?

"Sealord Nalos kept me in the dungeons. I'm sure he isn't holding any Sea Elf prisoners down here, so they must be elsewhere in the castle. One of the old towers, perhaps."

After you reach the ancient tree in the courtyard, Niraya and Sir Stefan will arrive behind you:

Druid Niraya: "The door to the shrine is hidden in those roots, mainlander."

Sir Stefan Mornard: "Captain Uldiss must be inside. Careful, friend. We'll follow as best we can."

Speaking with Druid Niraya before entering the Eldertide Hollow:

"Wrath and ruin! The Sea Elves found the door to the shrine. Hurry, mainlander!"

You can then enter the Eldertide Hollow and slay Captain Uldiss, after you do so, Sir Stefan and Druid Niraya will arrive:

Druid Niraya: "Take the seed, mainlander. We can avoid the Dreadsails by using the back exit."

Sir Stefan Mornard: "Take the seed to Vastyr. It will be safe there."

Speaking with Druid Niraya before taking the seed:

"The seed is safe, thank Y'ffre. But we can't leave it here. Please, retrieve the seed and let's get out of here."

After taking the Seed, Captain Siravaen will arrive with a warning about the future plans of the Dreadsails and Firesong. Speaking with Niraya before you leave the Hollow:

"We should go, mainlander. The passage to the north leads back to the shore.
The Dreadsails will regret the day they made the Eldertide Circle their enemies, this I swear."

Once outside, Captain Sirvaen will repeat her warning, speaking with Druid Niraya before Captain Siravaen:

"Sea Elves never talk. They just plunder and kill. Why does this one want to confer with you? I recommend caution. It could be some sort of ruse."

When you head to Vastyr to hand over the seed to Archdruid Ellic, you will find Niraya with him in the Vine District:

"I didn't expect to leave that ruined castle alive. Thank you, mainlander.
Please, give the sacred seed to Archdruid Ellic. Tell him I almost failed him, but I didn't … thanks to you."

Speaking with her again after talking with Archdruid Ellic:

"I will not forget what you have done for the Eldertide. And I imagine Sir Stefan will not forget what you did for him, either."

And Now, Perhaps, PeaceEdit

When you reached the Vines District in Vastyr to invite Druid Laurel to be part of the peace talks. Druid Niraya will be having a hard time trusting the Firesong again while Laurel is trying to mediate discussions between the druid circles.

Druid Laurel: "Blight it all! We have to find a way for the circles to work together!"

Druid Niraya: "The Eldertide are willing, but we have yet to choose new leaders. And we still distrust the Firesong."

Druid Nhevin: "The Firesong are aware of our mistakes. We don't expect forgiveness, but we want a chance to make amends. I promise, our next leader will have less aggressive aspirations."

Speaking to her before Laurel:

"I under what Laurel is trying to do here. I even hope it works. Still, there are those among my circle who are not ready to let go of their anger with the Firesong."

After speaking to Laurel:

"I would like to observe this gathering of leaders for the Eldertide. If nothing else, I will tell everyone there what you did for my circle."

After Count Stefan has called in everyone to come inside the reception hall on All Flags Islet, you'll find Niraya was also invited:

"It is not the Eldertide way to kneel before any crown of metal. But I admit I will probably spend the rest of my life retelling the story of what I see in this room today."

After Lady Arabelle gave her opening speech, Niraya will see the value of coexistence with outsiders for the Eldertide:

"You and Count Stefan have give the Eldertide much to consider. We always guarded these islands against outsiders. Pirates, yes. But also nobles, settlers and townsfolk.
Now I see we may find friends where we once saw enemies."
