Detailed Walkthrough

Duchess Lakana is concerned that Dame Falhut may not be acting alone in her attempted assassinations. She refuses to run though, and asks that you talk to Sir Hughes to root out the assassin before she succeeds. At this point, the quest will start, but you can talk to Lakana for more information. The fact that it is a Breton attempting to take Lakana's life makes the situation more volatile and could destroy the fragile alliance between Lakana's father, King Fahara'jad, and her brother-in-law, High King Emeric. She wants the Knights of the Flame to handle the situation to avoid any more diplomatic errors.

Head downstairs to the room directly below Lakana's, where Sir Hughes awaits your report. Tell him about the Dame, and he will be shocked before remembering that Falhut openly opposed the marriage. However, it might not work to send a Knight of the Flame to arrest her and bring her in, so again, you'll have to volunteer. He'll come with some men right on your heels, he says.

Dame Falhut's house is on the west side of the keep, north of the Old Goat Inn. Head inside and be ready for a fight. Dame Falhut stands at the back of the room and will immediately attack once you get close. She fights with an axe and shield, and has a charging attack that will knock you down.

Once you have killed her, exit the house and find Sir Hughes at the bottom of the hill. He will ask you if she ran, and when you tell him the truth, will be saddened but figure it's proof enough of her guilt. He will give you some gold, and talking to him further will start the next quest, The Safety of the Kingdom.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
