Ruler of Swordhaven
Hero, I beseech you, protect my daughters from these rebellious Knights! I do not know how they have been Chaorrupted, but I cannot have their taint infecting my precious princesses! I would battle with you, but fighting the Chaos inside of me takes most of my strength. We depend on you to help us!

I have long been afraid that Chaos would spread throughout Swordhaven. I do my best to contain it inside myself, but I fear the defenses I have set up are not enough. Somehow, minions of Chaos have entered the heart of my home. We must root it out!

Ruler of Swordhaven
We thank you for your assistance, Hero! Please, go enjoy the rest of the feast day with your other friends. And give my best to Samba when you return to her! Her dance lessons have turned my daughters into graceful, vivacious young women. I think you'll find her back in the center of the feasting.

Ruler of Swordhaven
An Alliance between Good and Evil? Sounds like a pipe dream. Perhaps it could happen someday, but surely not until both Gravelyn and I are long dead. Not with all this baggage between us.
Anomaly?
Have I seen anything unusual? I should say so! There is a terrible thing in the throne room that sounds like it fits your criteria! I've been hesitant to go in there ever since it appeared.

Ruler of Swordhaven, Leader of Good
We knew a major attack was coming, <Hero>, but we did not expect that Drakath would hit so MANY locations at once! Empress Gravelyn and I will coordinate the efforts to drive Chaos back, but we need you to lead the charge on the battlefield!
Drakath Attacks?
TheChaos … I can feel it in my bones. In my head, the whispers turn to screams, commanding me to serve the Champion of Chaos. And I. Will. NOT! My kingdom needs me. The Alliance needs me. And I need you. With you as my sword arm, we shall not fail!

What is going on? Have you seen my wife?
Twelfth Hero of Balance
Ah! <Hero>! I heard Iadoa was able to successfully bring you to our time! It is an honor! I wish we were meeting under less grim circumstances, but we must get to work. We must retrieve the Earth Orb and free Dwarfhold from the Queen's reign!
King Alteon!
You must know one of my descendants in your time, perhaps? I am happy to hear that my line continues! I can tell by your expression that you care deeply for your King Alteon… and that he is also no longer with you… I am sorry for your loss, but know that wherever your King is now, he is proud of you.

After completing the 'Lair Located' quest:
Twelfth Hero of Balance
Well done, <Hero>! You have made short work of Grou'luu's forces. The path to the creature is clear and we must strike at once! I have my Dragon standing by in case we need a speedy retreat, but something tells me that with you by our side, we will not lose today!
After completing the 'The Earth Orb' quest:
Twelfth Hero of Balance
HAHAHA! What a glorious battle! The Earth Orb is ours! I have heard countless legends regarding the Elemental Orbs but I never thought I would be holding one in my own hands! The power is immense! I have faith that with all eight of these, we will put an end to the Queen! Go forward through the portal to Mobius. Escherion and Iadoa are waiting for you.
Before choosing a side:
Until you have made your choice, there can be no telling of how you can help. Search your inner feelings, and choose who will be your liege. Only then should you return to me.

During the 'Unlife Insurance' quest:
Ruler of Swordhaven
Hello, hero. If you're looking for our Tax Collector, you should talk to the pig just over there. He'll be able to help you with whatever you need.
After choosing a side:
Ruler of Swordhaven
I'm Alteon, King of Swordhaven, I commend you for your brave effort in holding back the forces of evil, but as you know, our deadliest threat right now is Drakath!
How Can I Help?
True supporters of Good are always welcome in my court. In order to face Drakath with our strongest might, we must learn all we can about Chaos. Foreknowledge will allow us to counter Chaos with the greatest possibility of success.

So you have descended into the Crypt - and my Knights that were stationed there to guard against Sepulchure's Chaos-infected armor have been turned to Chaos themselves?? Help us recover them and take them to the infirmary. Mayhap someday in the future we will be able to cleanse them of that vile taint.

After completing the 'Rescue the Knights' quest:
Ruler of Swordhaven
Thank you for bringing back my Knights from the crypt. I am going to put my best healers to work on finding a cure for the Chaos infection. Hopefully one day we will be able to rescue these Knights from Chaos.
More
The more information we can discover about how Chaos is infecting the countryside, the better prepared we will be in our coming battles. We have received word that the wolves are ranging closer to town than ever before, and they are acting strangely. There are also reports of a bear coming down from the hills - that hasn't happened in all my years.
Please go to the woods and return with samples so that we may study the progression of the Chaos infection.

Thank you for capturing all those animals in the Forest. Now my people will feel safer going into the forest, and my healers will have more material to study.

Have you come to help us on our fight against Chaos or have you come to see my Tax Collector?
Tax Collector
You must continue to help Gravelyn in this, her time of greatest need. She has lost her father, and we must band together to battle this evil that is … DRAKATH!
The Tax Collector? He's right over there… the short guy who seems to love Cysero's bacon-scented cologne.
Fight Chaos
Your first task is to descend into the Crypt - find out what happened to my Knights that were stationed there to guard against Sepulchure's Chaos-infected armour. If what I fear has come true - they have been turned into Chaos themselves.
Help us recover them and take them to the infirmary. Mayhap someday in the future we will be able to cleanse them of that vile taint.

After completing the 'Forest of Chaos' quest:
Ruler of Swordhaven
For now we will have to sit down and wait, while planning our next move. I will meet with Bal, and if necessary, will summon you when need be.
King of Swordhaven
Thank you for capturing all those animals in the forest. Now my people will feel safer going into the forest, and my healers will have more material to study.
Who is Bal?
We have received a messenger from Bal Gravestorm in the Marsh. Will you listen to his message?
The Message
King Alteon
King of Swordhaven
I have received a messenger from Bal Gravestorm in the Marsh. They are reporting that the Chaos infection has been seen in the very depths of the Marsh.
Wez
Marsh Dweller
Bal Gravestorm sends his greetings, your Highness. The Chaos Wolves have been seen in the furthest regions of the Marsh. They have been sampling the vegetation in the Marsh - sometimes with dire effects. We have also found Chaos infected spiders in the depths of the Marsh.
Alteon
King of Swordhaven
Dire effects? In what way?
Wez
Marsh Dweller
I, personally, have seen an infected wolf eat from a common Marsh plant, and be dead within seconds. Another wolf can eat from the same plant and be unaffected - it even seems to throw off the Chaos effects for a time.
Alteon
King of Swordhaven
You have seen a Chaos-infected wolf improve? That is interesting news - and will be very valuable for my physicians who are researching the Chaos infection. Have you been able to ascertain why the wolves reacted differently?
Wez
Marsh Dweller
They have been sampling a variety of plants - it is possible that the interaction of plants with each other affects the Chaos infection in different ways. I have been provided with a list of all the vegetation that we have been able to track.
Alteon
King of Swordhaven
Thank you for this invaluable knowledge. We must amass great quantities of these plants in order to examine their effects against the Chaos infection, both on their own and in concert.

Good Reputation
Greetings, hero. Have you decided to build your reputation with the forces of good… or have you had enough of evil and decided to change sides? What can I do for you?

Do you wish to join the forces of good in the battle against Chaos? Beware… it is not a choice taken lightly… the contract with Good will cost 100,000 gold. Be sure of your decision.

How can Swordhaven serve you?
IN THE FACE
Oh. Surely there must be better things to do than slime me with ectoplasm. At least you've gotten rid of some of those wraiths, I suppose.
- Good Reputation
King of Swordhaven
You never cease to amaze me Hero! The army of the Undead has invaded my domain, and they are overrunning the castle. You have battled countless undead to reach my throne room, but the final moments of this war draw near. You will be forced to make a most important decision… will you use your great power and skill for Good or Evil?
Good?
If you choose to fight for the forces of GOOD, I welcome you into my service. No matter how good one's army is, Heroes like you will make it much easier to defeat this army of the Undead!
Evil?
What? You would rather battle alongside the army of the Undead? I think you are making the wrong choice, but respect your freedom to do so.

No matter what decision you make, there is something I must tell you of great importance…

Sepulchure has been defeated, but we have a new enemy - and possibly a worse one. We must find Sepulchure's daughter. She will surely want Drakath defeated, and could be a powerful ally.

Greetings, Hero, and welcome to the Battle Coliseum! With so many competitors fighting for a such valuable prize, I need you to make sure no one gains an unfair advantage
Talk
Ah, yes, the Battle Coliseum! Long ago, the nobility of this land sent their sons and daughters to fight for glory and honor here. The three houses of the Coliseum are the Grim Reavers, the Dark Wolves, and the DragonBlades. As we return the arena to prominence in Swordhaven, one day you may battle here, too.

I would chose you for the role of my General, Hero, but you are too important to ALL Lore to focus your attention on one land. You will battle well and bravely; you are already a Champion!
