Life on the Other Side
"My family and I only recently arrived in Emax Dûl. Life was not so different at first, trading one palace for another, but recently something has changed. Of late I felt a growing unease, as if something was hidden from me. Two days ago, I decided it would be necessary to act, to save the lives of my children."

Background

My family and I only recently arrived in Emax Dûl. Life was not so different at first, trading one palace for another, but recently something has changed. Of late I felt a growing unease, as if something was hidden from me. Two days ago, I decided it would be necessary to act, to save the lives of my children.

You are experiencing Kotráka Saiya's story from her point of view.

You should talk to Góramul Sai in the banquet hall.

Góramul Sai: 'I assume you overheard some of that. Mizâdi's rebels approach from the East while the upstart servants of Aradûn approach from the West. Our enemies are nearly at our doorstep. We must strike before they form an alliance and encircle Emax Dûl.
'But do not worry, I will oversee our forces and ensure we are victorious. We cannot abandon Emax Dûl. We cannot fail the Hûl. We cannot abandon Emax Dûl. We cannot fail the Hûl...'
Góramul seems momentarily entranced. He snaps back to normal when he hears someone else enter the room.

Objective 4

You are experiencing Kotráka Saiya's story from her point of view.

You should talk to Dark Priestess Barkhuráni in the banquet hall.

Dark Priestess Barkhuráni: I inquired as to just who this dark ally is, and why I was not made aware of an important guest in the palace before this.
'My apologies, sister! I would have thought your husband would have informed you. If he has not explained, he must not want to trouble you with it, and I would not want to displease the Sai.
'All you need to know is we have a powerful ally on our side, who will ensure a prosperous future for us and the empire.'
She flashes an innocent smile, but does not elaborate any further.

  • Check on your son

You are experiencing Kotráka Saiya's story from her point of view.

You should find Otibúk in the southern bed-chamber.

Otibúk: Otibúk's condition is much the same. His whole body glistens with sweat, fighting both his wounds and an ever-returning fever. He occasionally thrashes in the bed, softly moaning. Is he having nightmares of th

e battle? I could not know, and was being consumed by my helplessness. How can a mother watch her son suffer so?

You are experiencing Kotráka Saiya's story from her point of view.

You should find your daughters in the northern bed-chamber.

Lokóya: My daughters should be in bed at this hour, but I noticed that my youngest, Khêjiba, was missing. I asked my eldest, Lokóya, if she knew where she was.

You are experiencing Kotráka Saiya's story from her point of view.

You should find Khêjiba. She is hiding somewhere in the royal living quarters.

Khêjiba: I asked Khêjiba who she was speaking to, growing increasingly concerned.
'I don't really know. We call her the Pale Lady. She talks to me sometimes.'
I was alarmed, and asked if my other daughters knew about her.
'Yes. She talks to all three of us. I've seen her staring at Otibúk before, too. Do you think she can help him?'

Objective 10

You are experiencing Kotráka Saiya's story from her point of view.

You should return Khêjiba to the northern bed-chamber.

Lokóya: I asked Lokóya if she knew about the Pale Lady. She turned white as a sheet at the mention of the name.
'I... Yes. I don't know what she is or what she wants. She has appeared to all of us. Aunt Barkhuráni warned us not to mention her to anyone, so I haven't....'
She starts to cry.
'Mother, I'm afraid to leave our bedroom! Can we please go back to Ordâkh?'

Objective 11

You are experiencing Kotráka Saiya's story from her point of view.

You should find Góramul Sai in your shared bed-chamber, to the rear of the living quarters.

'Kotráka... I am sorry.'
