Objectives
Help Aemyra choose the right words for her message to Orren.
- Put Aemyra's sentiments on paper
Description
I had told Orren I'd be back by now, but Velhan's Claim has larger problems than I expected. The people here need my help against the kobyss.
<Name>, I've always been better with a sword than a pen. Strong feelings and being far apart makes it even harder.
I'm more at home protecting the vulnerable than being vulnerable.
Perhaps I could tell you what I want to get across and you could write it for me?
Rewards
You will receive:
- 17 55
- 8,400 XP
Progress
Did you find Aemyra? Is she alright?
Completion
I'm really glad to hear she's okay! But I have a huge problem now.
Notes
Upon accept, talk to Aemyra to start writing the letter, she and Taenar comment on some of the choices made:
<Name>, will you help me find the right words for my message to Orren?
(Quest) I'm ready.
First off, we should make sure Orren knows I'm okay, just delayed by the kobyss.
Thanks for checking on me, sweetie! I'm alright, just dealing with some nasty kobyss.
- Taenar Strongoth says: I'd fight nerubians over the kobyss any day.
Hey, Orren, I'm okay, just dealing with some kobyss.
- Aemyra Acton says: Nice and understated.
Nice of you to send <name> to check on me, Orren, but you know I'm okay! A few kobyss won't be a problem.
- Aemyra Acton says: Orren doesn't need to know just how many kobyss there are here! No need to make him worry.
I hope you're not worried, Orren! I'd planned to be back to the farm already, but there are a lot of kobyss at Velhan's Claim.
- Taenar Strongoth says: I'm disappointed to see Velhan hasn't dealt with them. Not surprised, though.
Now let's thank him for sending those lovely flowers.
I love the flowers you sent! It's great to have a reminder that you're thinking of me.
- Aemyra Acton says: Orren is always doing thoughtful things like that.
Thanks for those nice flowers.
- Taenar Strongoth says: I've always liked Amber Bloom, if I'm honest.
I was surprised to see you only sent me twelve flowers! Kidding, they're lovely.
- Aemyra Acton says: I appreciate how Orren makes me feel special. But it's fun to give him a hard time.
You shouldn't have troubled yourself to send me flowers. That was very sweet, though!
- Aemyra Acton says: I can't exactly put these in a vase somewhere, but the thought really means a lot.
It's going to be a while before I'm done here and get back to see Orren again. How should I tell him?
I miss you, Orr, and I'm afraid I'm going to keep missing you for a while as I make Velhan's Claim safe for people.
My work at Velhan's Claim will take me a while.
As thrilling as it is to hang around the farm, I'm afraid I'm going to be here fighting the kobyss for a while.
I'm afraid it's going to take quite a while to set things in order at Velhan's Claim. But I'll see you again when I'm done here.
I want to let Orren know I believe in his work to feed our people with that machine.
The work you're doing with ELIZA is brilliant. Soon you'll have her caring for the fields, and we'll have more time together.
You're going to get ELIZA working eventually.
Don't get any ideas about replacing me with that robot! But you're doing great work on it.
Please be careful with your work on ELIZA. That seems like it could backfire, but I know you'll figure it out.
I need to make sure Orren knows how I feel about him.
I'm truly grateful for all the good you bring to my life, Orren.
I like you and look forward to seeing you.
I want you to know, I love you every bit as much as I hate the kobyss!
If you love me as much as I do you, we have a bright future together!
How should I sign it?
Yours, Aemyra
Aemyra
Your biggest fan, Aemyra
Love you! Aemyra
Upon letter completion:
- Taenar Strongoth says: Aemyra, Orren's nice, but he's a little strange. What do you see in him?
- Aemyra Acton says: A lot of things, Taenar! He has a big vision of how to help the people of Hallowfall. I admire that.
- Aemyra Acton says: He's really persistent, even when things don't come easily. He's been working on ELIZA for a couple years!
- Aemyra Acton says: And not everyone can deal with a Lamplighter who's always taking risks and helping others. But Orren supports it.
Aemyra's gossip after:
I'm glad you're here with us, <name>.
Taenar's gossip:
This is a big task, even for a pair of Lamplighters! There are a lot of kobyss surrounding Velhan's Claim.
Upon returning to Orren:
- Orren Masyn says: This is terrible. How am I going to stop her?
