In character side quests part 2

Suddenly a shockwave of silver veins tremble across Dzerog-Mak’s usually jet black surface, and for a moment there is a stunned silence in the room. Just as fighting is about to resume Dzerog-Mak shouts “Stop!” and his remaining priests fall to the floor, weapons clattering to the ground. For a moment, there is silence.


“I must… contemplate this new wisdom.” Dzerog-mak explains.

The priests refuse to fight you now, and politely ask you to leave. Perhaps you do, perhaps you don’t, perhaps you are willing to wait the week it takes for Dzerog to contemplate the direction his life has taken these past 300 years. But in any event, on the seventh day, major changes take place.

Dzerog-Mak immediately makes full confession of all his attempts at insurrection, fully refunding thousands of coins forced from the hands of innocents in recent times. He betrays the confidences of dozens of spies he has placed to cause insurrection and contention as far as the offices in the white tower. The Shadow guild, only one of several major organisations that had fallen under his sway, is official disbanded, though few are fools enough to believe this is a permanent change.

The repercussions of this are immense as those formally supported in the corruption are brought to light. Criminals are returned to their sentencing, and thieving activities greatly curtailed. A new era has begun, where Dzerog-mak and his breakers serve the law in Lauresia instead of seeking to become the law, for none had suspected just how powerful the Mirror quartz had really become…

As for Jessica, none can escape the change she initiates as well. Healed by your gratitude, she is renewed with a sense of purpose. No longer taken for granted by her children, the banded haematite becomes forthright and assertive in overseeing that all fulfil their responsibilities to their community. She calls to account many who have fallen behind in their promised duties to their people, and initiates several new policies for seeing the city is properly cleansed, that people are polite, and that door are properly shut after use. Most of all, Jessica enshrines the use of gratitude among all citizens as a means of restoring hope and peace to a people recovering from their own fear, which expressed itself as the riots.

But there is still much work to be done.
