Ruler of Swordhaven and Protector of Greenguard
We marched on Skye's Capital, but its gates swung open for us. Now we're being invited inside by Lieber, the man brought you to Queen lona in the first place. Taking the castle could end this war, but be on your guard. Brentan…we'll defeat lona. She'll answer for everything she's done.
Talk
Our forces are too eager to declare victory. I'm sure lona has more tricks up her sleeve.
Battle
Brentan didn't just save us. He must have ruined lona's copy of Sparagmos, and reports say that she hasn't been able to strike us with lightning from afar. We won't waste this chance. Our forces have marched on the Capital of Skye, Quiraing, expecting to lay siege. Instead, we were met with an open gate. Some of us are already declaring victory, but it's too early. Queen lona's original plan to destroy us in the Daisy Fields failed. Someone like her would have a failsafe.
Amnesty
It won't be a popular decision, and it'll weaken my position, but I have to do the right thing. Queen lona's army is composed of her adopted children. In reality, they were kidnapped and abused by the crown, treated like tools instead of people. Even if they're our enemies, persecuting them wouldn't be right. The Greenguard Nobles won't be happy about that. There were casualties in this war…terrible ones. The cycle of vengeance needs to stop.
Brentan
Once again, I've been left behind. Mother, father, Brittany, and a man I have come to see as a brother - gone. When our business in Skye concludes, I'll have to travel to the Neverglades and tell Brentan's family of his fate. They'll need help organizing his affairs, his will if it exists, and…and then…I'll let myself cry. I'll sob and beg Tara to talk to me. Right now, I need to be Greenguard's Queen, a paragon of strength and justice.

Just as I thought, the ice blocking the stairs to the upper floors melted as soon as we took Artix and Lieber outside. Your friend Abel knew that we found them. Now, he's beckoning us to ascend. This could be it. The end of the war between Greenguard and Skye.

Abel's out on the balcony, and he's being guarded by an Ice and Energy Elemental. He looks terribly ill. Maybe all the snowstorms and ice were a call for help. Iona might have forced him to help her, and he did everything he could to get your attention. We need to rescue him.

After completing the 'Vow of Misery' quest:
Ruler of Swordhaven and Protector of Greenguard
Queen lona's plan was to feed Greenguard's army to her copy of Sparagmos. Failing that, she had a back-up. Iona trapped the soul of Lord Haeos' beloved first Champion of Energy through her Necromancers and Abel's powers. Fearing for Gaheris, Lord Haeos willingly gave himself up, and gave lona the fuel she needed to become a new Avatar. Maybe she wanted him to make that sacrifice regardless. Iona won't get away with this, but you won't have to fight her alone.

After completing the 'Arrester' quest:
Ruler of Swordhaven and Protector of Greenguard
The snowstorm isn't letting up. We can't march East, so we'll meet up with Lady Celestia and Lord Brentan. They're investigating the caves nearby, where the remains of the Dragon Naoise rest. He fought Skye long ago, and there's a chance we could learn from his mistakes.
Talk
I came here to save you, but you can still be angry at me if you want. I understand.
Invasion
Greenguard isn't here to invade Skye. We came to rescue you. I'm so relieved that you're safe, but we won't be able to return home yet. Thundersnow storms are raging, and lightning will strike us as soon as we step into the open. Sailing back will be impossible. Then there's the Fianna. As much as they distrust us, I don't want to leave them to their fate. The best way to help them, and ourselves, is to face Queen lona.
Tara
When I sailed for Skye, I had a message sent to Termina Temple. Tara is to sit on Greenguard's throne in my absence. I would have wanted to ask her myself, but there was no time. With Warlic supporting her, their combined power will keep our home safe. Selfish of me, right? I already lost my father and Brittany. I didn't even get to say goodbye. This way, my little sister will be safe and cared for, even if I don't come back.
Gravelyn
When you were taken, our spies discovered that Skye had reached out to the Shadowscythe. I was sure we would have to fight a war on two fronts, until one of Gravelyn's men arrived with a package. Gravelyn is…someone I respect. It hurts to think of her as an enemy, but I can't put my subjects at risk for any reason. Thousands of lives are on the line. They're depending on me. Even after seeing what Gravelyn sent…can I trust her?

Queen lona wanted my head so badly that she came to the frontlines herself. I'd commend her if she didn't try to manipulate us like that. She thought she'd be leading a charge against Queen Victoria, but she's going to be hunted by Robina the Hood. Everyone, keep to the shadows! Cut them down before they know you're even there!

Ruler of Swordhaven and Protector of Greenguard
It is good to see you, Hero. Even with the Alliance dissolved, you will always be my friend. I hope you and Tara are doing well. Know that you're welcome in Swordhaven whenever you need rest. I would also love some rest, and to catch up. But, duty comes first. I need to do everything in my power to protect Greenguard and its people from all threats, new…and familiar.
Coronation
For a time, Greenguard did not have a clear ruler. But when the latest crisis settled, my brother-in-law, Lord Brentan, renounced his claim to the throne. I've put my coronation on hold to see to the Queendom's recovery. Once our wounds have closed, I plan to have a short ceremony. We need to focus on protecting our home, and preparing for new threats, instead of wasting gold on pomp and circumstance.
Declarations
When a new ruler is set to be crowned, the nobility are invited to attend the coronation and renew their vows of loyalty. With the Alliance dissolved, we will be hearing from several organizations as well. Paladins, Dragonslayers, Dragonlords, notable mages, and clans of Druids are ready to declare for the Good Faction. We may even be visited by the Dwarves and Fae Folk. I need to be worthy of their trust.
Adversaries
After all of these years, the Alliance of Good and Evil has been dissolved. There are many who fear that the shadow of the Empress' flying fortress will fall across Swordhaven once again. Malgor and the Mana Crisis pushed everyone to the brink, and the fear isn't quite gone. The people deserve a Good and Just ruler that can protect them. My selfish feelings can't get in the way.

The smoke signals from the East are warning us that there are Undead on the rise. Not only that, but Caiomhe disappeared with that staff. She really wants us to go East. This has to be a trap. While our main forces keep lona occupied, our group will investigate what's going on.
Talk
We can't rush headfirst into a trap. You, Brentan, Kieran, and I will investigate, and order Lord Granville to withdraw.
Influence
Having you and Brentan here has given me a sense of clarity I didn't know I was missing. I may be the Queen, but the nobles are fighting to curry my favor or question my judgment. Lord Granville is very enthusiastic about this war. Unless he receives a direct order from me, he will not give up the territory he believes he won for his house. Nobles like him are dangerous, but his wealth and influence protects and feeds our people…so long as he's kept happy.
Skye
Skye's deepest scars were made by Greenguard. This war, King Duncan's invasion, and even Queen lona's ancestors originated in our lands. The nobles will want compensation. I came here to save you, but my court demands new territory, resources, and gold. The ambition, greed, and grief of the rich and powerful have caused great harm. Brittany said that the first to be left behind in a war are the weak and the trapped. I…have to be the one that comes back for them.
Iona
My first in-person meeting with lona was in front of Naoise's Grave. Her letters were so organized and well-worded that I felt jealous of her confidence. Her first thoughts were for her people, but lona was just using them as tools to make herself look like a selfless saint. Creating enemies to justify her tyranny, scaring her people into accepting cruelty in exchange for protection. Still, even if those fake threats were real, do the ends justify any means? I need to…
