Invasion News
Didn't you read the news scroll? Princess Tara was kidnapped by the deadliest dragon we've seen in years and we cannot get close enough to rescue her! Every time we try, he blasts the area with fire and we have to fall back! And to make matters worse, we have heard rumors that a massive army of undead is marching towards the area! If you are willing to help us, follow the road and speak to Cleric Joy!
Where Am I?
We are in Greenguard Forest, not too far from the town of Battleon. You'll want to stop there and gear up before heading off to adventure. You can stock up on gear, potions, and get the latest news.
Here are some more Game Commands that will help you on your journey.

Before completing the 'YOU again!' quest:
Disputed Ruler of Swordhaven
I appreciate you checking in on us, but the invading forces haven’t reached us yet. If you’re looking for someone to help, there are other lands that are more in need of it than we are.
- Darkovia Invasion
- Shadowfall Invasion
After completing the 'YOU again!' quest:
Disputed Ruler of Swordhaven
If we’re going to beat this army, we’ll need to take a page out of its own playbook. That means collecting Infernal armor, Infernal energy, everything they would use to fight against this same kind of attack.
Isn't that… Evil?
The Infernals are using weapons powered with Celestial energy. Does that make them good? Look, I’m not saying it’s an ideal situation, but my main concern is protecting the people of Swordhaven. I’ll do what I have to do to keep them safe.

After completing the 'Arm the Armored' quest:
Disputed Ruler of Swordhaven
No! This can't be happening now! We aren't ready! There was so much more preparation to be done! All we can do now is hold our ground, fight to the best of our ability, and hope that is enough!
After completing the 'It's Baaaaack!' quest:
Disputed Ruler of Swordhaven
I've got your back, my friend. We won't let this beast have Swordhaven, too! I'll hold off the hounds and soldiers while you destroy him!
Guardian of the Neverglades
None of these warriors knows the land of people of Swordhaven as well as I. It will be a pleasure to show them what skill a son of the Neverglades has!
Guardian of the Neverglades
Hail and well met, Hero! There are many people you'll need to speak with inside the Keep before the invasion grows worse.
Just click the ! bubble over their head, and they'll tell you what you need to know.
Remember to pay attention if you see a blue arrow.
They indicate things that should be noted or clicked on.
Need More Help?
Talk to NPCs (non-player characters) to get extra information about the quest you're on, the area itself, or monsters you're supposed to defeat.
Most will have quests, a shop, or both, in addition to plus information about your quests. Some may not speak with you until you complete their requirements.
Prince… Or King?
Ah, it's you. I expected you'd show up sooner or later. Your "friend" did, and gave me a long list of instructions I do NOT have time for. But if you can help me here, I'll hand the note over to you.

Before completing the 'What Happened to Baldric?' quest:
Disputed Ruler of Swordhaven
We don't know what this Rift is, but we need to find out. Victoria and Gravelyn think it would be reckless to send in an army before we have more information, so we've sent a few scouts to get intel on the area. They haven't come back. We sent one of our finest warriors after them, but he has not returned, either. It doesn't look good.
Militia
Ah, I knew you and I were of the same mind! We may not be able to go in YET, but we can keep the monsters surrounding the edges of our camp at bay. And we can make sure that, once we've found a way to survive those fumes, we'll have an army ready to destroy that Rift and everything in it.

After completing the 'What Happened to Baldric?' quest:
Disputed Ruler of Swordhaven
Victoria and Gravelyn want us to wait to see what comes out of the Rift. I say we should be finding a way to get inside it, NOW, so we can destroy whatever is on the other side before it can cross over into Lore! Surely Warlic can get to work on some kind of magic hazmat suit? But we'll need all our forces united if we're to stand a chance. I am eager to fight, but I won't be reckless.

Baldric
Baldric's fate, and the desperate message he sent, have proven that the situation is even worse than we had realized. What toxin could possibly act so quickly? It's almost as if it was created solely for the purpose of exterminating us.

Wayward Lord
My knights are aware of our plan, and have dressed as pirates to join Empress Ai No Miko's crew. The crew is ready to escort the passengers into the cave. According to the Empress, her magic seal will prevent anyone but family members of the Yokai Royalty from entering the cave. With the passengers safe, we'll scare the Wuji fleet off with my hostage act. Hopefully, I can make a convincing hapless noble… I suppose I'm already there.
Pirates
When I was a child, I used to play pretend catching pirates, not being one. To me, they're dirty criminals without any shred of dignity. I may be in the minority here. Many of my knights are fond of the accent, and have taken to their acting roles. Even in Swordhaven, Victoria talked some pirates, including a man named Rhubarb, into sailing under Greenguard's colors. They'll be paid to explore, and plunder the Queendom's enemies.
Journey
When the matter of Malgor was settled, I renounced my claim to Greenguard's throne alongside Tara. My conduct during the Mana Crisis was shameful… unbecoming of a man, much less a King. Perhaps I am sheltered and out of touch with what actually happens in my homeland. Going on a journey alone was meant to broaden my understanding of the world and better myself. Obviously, I'm not done making mistakes yet.
Swordhaven
Queen Victoria? Outside of receiving messages directed to the nobility as a whole, I have not heard from her. She must be busy seeing to the recovery of Swordhaven, and the influx of emissaries from other Kingdoms and Queendoms. I am…humbled by how fast she put Swordhaven back on its feet. I even hear that our defensive forces have been bolstered, given new weapons, and strengthened by new medical advancements.
After completing the 'Proper Parley' quest:
Wayward Lord
Our plan worked but Admiral Zheng is already inside the cave chasing after the Wuji refugees. He is actually related to Empress Ai No Miko by blood. The situation is beginning to escalate, and I still think talking with the Admiral is worth a try. When I met Admiral Zheng, I sensed he was similar to me. Determined to a fault, burdened with pride, and lonely. If I see an opening for them to talk, I want to convince the Empress…

After completing the 'Pearl of my Heart' quest:
Wayward Lord
I intend to return to soul-searching, but Empress Ai No Miko has invited us to tea with her family. It would be nice to have a short breather, and learn more about our allies in the Isles. Admittedly, I don't know much about Yokai- and it definitely showed today. My friend, would you walk with me for a moment longer before we go our separate ways? Once our personal journeys are finished, I hope our paths will cross again- yours, mine, Victoria's, and Tara's.
