Campaign Prophecies
Region Ascalon (pre-Searing)
Type Secondary    
Given by Captain Osric
in Lakeside County

Captain Osric has tasked you with finding the perfect birthday gift for Prince Rurik's beloved Lady Althea. There are three items scattered about Lakeside County that have gift potential. With either of the first two gifts you bring to Osric he will agree that it is a noteworthy item, but something better must be found. On the third gift (regardless of which item it is) he will find it truly special, and congratulate you on your find.

[edit] Reward

[edit] Walkthrough

The objectives can be completed by performing the following steps:

  1. Find Captain Osric and listen to his conversation with Prince Rurik.
  2. Speak with Captain Osric after the prince has left to obtain the quest.
  3. Travel to Ashford Village to find a Beautiful Feather near Alison the Tanner.
  4. Head to the mill area by Miller Upton. You should find a Beautiful Shell near the water that contains a Beautiful Pearl.
  5. Head to the farm fields north of Ashford. Follow the path east through the Bandit Raiders and look for a chest. Inside the chest is a Beautiful Pendant.
  6. Bring all three items to Captain Osric for your reward.

There is a different way to complete this quest. Instead of following all of the above steps, perform step 1 and 2, then do only one of steps 3, 4, or 5. Instead of step 6, go talk to Lady Althea instead, who will notice the one gift item you found and reward you with the same reward as Captain Osric would.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Captain Osric
I have a very important mission for you, [Character Name]. The prince's love, Althea, will celebrate her birthday tomorrow. The prince has charged me with finding the perfect gift, one that is as unique and beautiful as Althea herself. What do you say? Can you help me?
Accept: "I think I can handle that."
Decline: "I'd really rather not."

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Captain Osric
Have you found the perfect gift yet? Remember: Like Lady Althea, it must be beautiful.
Give Beautiful Feather
This is a magnificent feather. One could probably fashion an exquisite writing quill from it, but I believe we need something a bit more regal for our Lady. Please keep looking.
Give Beautiful Pearl
A pearl? Simple, elegant...but Lady Althea must have something unique and more personal. Please keep looking.
Give Beautiful Pendant
This is a magnificent piece of jewelry, however, I believe we need something a little less...worn to present to our Lady. Please keep looking.

[edit] Reward dialogue

Captain Osric
Wherever did you find this,[sic] [Perfect Item]? Yes, this is the perfect gift for Althea! Prince Rurik will be delighted. I'll make sure he knows of your involvement in obtaining the one thing that is sure to please his lady.

Lady Althea
What's this? Does Rurik think I care one whit what gift he gives me? What matters is that a gift comes from the heart. That he choose it himself is all I ask. You can put an end to this nonsense at once. I'll have a talk with Osric and Rurik myself!
