Script[]
If you're looking for more inventory slots, I'm sorry, but they are not free anymore!
Oh, you're looking for Valkyon Federation Headquarters? You can see it right there, at the back.
Ask Uriela that you would like to see the Commander.
Also, you can come to me anytime if you need more inventory. Just remember to bring your gold!
You must be [player name]! I've heard about you from Dougal. The federation has been waiting for a warrior like you to join! We've heard all about what you did at the Island of Dawn.
Is this your first time in Velika?
(Happy to be here.)
OR
(Right. Island of Dawn.)
OR
(It was nice meeting you.)
What? How can you not know what the federation is?
You know that the Argons have invaded northern Shara, right? The federation was founded to stop the Argons.
Do they not get any news at all, out on the Island of Dawn?
OR
Well, don't worry.
Commander Seir is looking forward to meeting you. He's waiting for you inside.
Oh, wait! Before you go in, Dougal wanted you to have this.
Where did it go...? It was right here! Hang on for just a second...
Or...wait, are you just nervous about being here?
OR
You're very humble, aren't you?
Don't be! Dougal said that you defeated Karascha! Thanks to you, [player name], the federation once more has the strength to go on fighting the dangers that threaten us.
Dougal also told us that you might have found the Valkyon Hero, Elleon!
The federation has been looking for Elleon ever since he vanished. We didn't have a single clue, until now.
(Oh, it was just pure luck.)
Commander Seir is waiting for you inside.
Oh, wait! Before you go in, Dougal wanted you to have this.
Where did it go...? It was right here! Hang on for just a second...
(I understand.)
That was a close one.
So many people are coming in and out, I thought I made a big mistake...
Here it is! Dougal wanted you to read this before you went inside.
(Thanks.)
[player name].
If you received this letter, you've arrived in Velika and are about to enter Headquarters.
There's a few things you need to know first. I've shared your cover story about being a recruit on the Island of Dawn, but some people are still suspicious.
We're doing our best to track down the traitor, but it's going to take some time. Until then, your real story is classified.
I'll do my best to protect you from federation politics, but I recommend you get out of the city and back into the field as soon as possible.
- Dougal
(Close the letter.)
Don't pretend you don't recognize me! The brightest of all justicars, Bruke? Ha, guess that you're the new recruit.
Yes, I heard what you did on the Island of Dawn. Dougal's been blathering about it all day. I've just met you, and I'm already tired of you.
(Well, it's an honour to meet you.)
Honor doesn't pay the bills!
Haha! That was a joke. I don't expect some backwater conscript to know how to show proper respect... let alone have the gold to provide a proper gift!
Let me give you some advice, kid. Killing some monsters on some island most people have never heard of won't make you a star here.
Everyone here can do what you did. Only the best and brightest are chosen by Commander Samael. Now get going!
(I understand.)
... from the island... Right, right. The from the island...So! Welcome to the Valkyon Federation! Your full records haven't arrived yet, but you impressed Captain Dougal, so I'm sending you to the Arcadia province. Our most experienced soldiers are serving on the Argon Front, leaving us nothing but raw recruits to protect our settlers in the Fey Forest. So when I find someone who can take initiative, I take notice. Now, let me bring you up to speed on the situation...
(Meet Commander Seir.)
So you see, [player name], that it's not all front lines and glorious battle. The federation needs troops on a variety of fronts, as best suits their capabilities. Once you've proven yourself in Arcadia, we can talk about giving you somewhat more... glamorous assignments. Are you ready to carry out your assignment?
(Yes, sir!)
Splendid. Commander Samael has your deployment orders. It was good to meet you, [player name]. I expect good things from you!
(Okay.)
You know, I just came from the Island od Dawn... and I don't remember seeing you there.
Oh, well... all new recruits look alike to me, anyway. Now listen up: Our settlers in Arcadia are in constant danger. The fey are acting up, refugees are flooding into Lumbertown, and we can't get supplies or medicine out there fast enough. I'll be honest: It's a backwater posting. But prove to me you've got the initiative Dougal says you do, and I'll see to it you get into the thick of things, fast. What do you say?
(Thank you.)
Summary upon Completion[]
You've become an official Valkyon Federation soldier. Upon arriving in Velika you were ordered to meet Commander Seir, the commander of the Valkyon Federation's forces.
Seir was impressed with you and welcomed you formally into federation service, but the real power pusher of the military, Commander Samael, doesn't seem impressed with you. He dismissed your accomplishments as mere luck.
