Background
The Red-maid is lost -- or so it seems -- to the corruption wrought upon her land at the hands of corrupt Men. These Men stand before her, ready to sacrifice themselves for the Red-maid, and they deserve this fate. However, the nobility of your blood will be a greater reward for her, and when these Men fall before her willingly, she will see that the noble are attempting to destroy her and ignoble keeping her this way.
Objective 1
- Aid in the cleansing of the Red-maid
The Créoth will sacrifice themselves to the Red-maid to restore her strength and connexion to the corruption within the swamp. These Men deserve nothing better than death, and your presence in standing against the Red-maid may alert some part of her to the folly of her ways. You should let these Men die and strengthen the Red-maid, then defeat her. Perhaps a piece of her will understand that the corruption has grown too great, and she must return to the natural world of which she was once a part.
- Naruhel: 'My sisters are far from me.... I cannot hear their songs or feel their gentle breath among the trees. Barren are those trees, nearly lifeless, choked out by roots bloated with something that has a bitter taste of iron. Where are you my sisters, and what is before me?
- 'I cannot see beyond the red of this land, but I sense something sweet among the bitter ferns and swollen roots. Are you real? Am I still imprisoned in the land?
- 'There is life in you -- I feel this. There must be life elsewhere in these lands. Perhaps I can find this life anew and nurture it back to health.'
