War of the River Kings

War of the River Kings is a quest in .

Synopsis
"Irovetti, the ruler of Pitax, has attacked our kingdom! But he doesn't move his troops onto our lands and or besiege our cities — he prefers trickery and deception over force. He must be stopped before our kingdom collapses from within!"

Find a way to deal with the bandits

 * ''Bandits are raiding our provinces along the Pitaxian border. They must be stopped!
 * Go to River Blades' Camp.

Destroy the bandit camp

 * They've plundered our lands long enough! An eye for an eye, and tooth!

Find the propagandists

 * ''Instigators strut around the streets, causing trouble and stirring up unrest. It's obvious that someone from the Pitaxian Academy of the Grand Arts is writing texts and printing leaflets for them. But who could it be, and where should we look for him?


 * Go to Littletown.

Eliminate the instigators

 * ''Looks like this is the source of the rumors and the leaflets that were sent around our kingdom! Time to talk with the ones behind it, face to face.


 * Surprisingly, for completing this task it's just enough to eliminate the threat at the tavern, especially Trebricent. So, some very stealthy (Invisibility of any form helps!) characters may pass unnoticed before the guards outside, kill everyone in the tavern, but... On your way out you're always attacked. And it ends in whole town dead. Mindless bloodshed. Ha-ha!


 * When you enter the tavern, a chat with Trebricent begins. You can choose any answer of alignment flavor to reduce the number wannabe-combatants, after which you get straight into fight.


 * If you spared Ivar during The Lonely Hunter quest, he is in the tavern and helpes you in fight, if asked so. After the fight (if he survives) you can have a small chat with him.


 * For solving the situation in the tavern you receive +5760 xp.

Fight Irovetti in the palace

 * ''The battle is won! Pitax belongs to us! Defeated, ousted — but still breathing — Irovetti is hiding somewhere in the palace. Time to take his crown... And perhaps his head as well!

Discover why monsters are attacking the kingdom

 * ''Reports are coming in from all over the kingdom, of bloodthirsty monsters emerging from nowhere in the most unexpected places. These attacks must be stopped! But where are they coming from?

Enter the cave and eliminate the mage teleporting monsters

 * ''We managed to find out that the monsters were being teleported into our kingdom from a deep cave system in Pitax! It's time we gave this place a visit.
 * Go to The Menagerie.

Explore Whiterose Abbey

 * ''Nyrissa told us that Irovetti is hiding something extremely important in a place called Whiterose Abbey — something we can use as a weapon against him. It's not clear if we can trust this tricky nymph. But perhaps this is the chance we need to ruin our enemy's plans!


 * Make your way to the Whiterose Abbey location. Here you'll have to fight your way through the trapped area, at the end of which Gardener awaits. After everyone is dead, you may interact with Dripping Clock to release Evindra and find out, that you'll have to dive to the bottom of the lake. Now you can let Evindra join you in the capital or not.


 * For diving you receive Fox Signet Ring and +5760 xp. Now you can pass checks:
 * Knowledge (World) 30 - Examine the bodies: +2160 xp. - To find out, that dead bodies there from all the great families that once ruled Pitax.
 * Athletics 30 - Dive deeper: +720 xp. - Receive Dark Wind

Go to Pitax

 * ''The more of Irovetti's plots we unravel, the more insolent and desperate he becomes. Realizing that he will never succeed in taking our King's/Queen's land without a fight, he's offered him/her... a chance to surrender! What an impudent fellow! We're going to pay him a visit in Pitax, and show him who exactly should be surrendering!

Challenge Irovetti

 * ''Irovetti stands in front of his palace, waiting for {Name} to bring him his/her crown. We could face him down right now... But he's got plenty of enemies throughout the city! Let's try to beat Irovetti at his own game, and turn his own people against him. A great battle is coming, and we need allies!

Potential allies

 * ''The temple guard will support us against Irovetti!
 * ''The thieves' guild has joined our side, and will help us oust Irovetti!
 * ''All the old families of Pitax will join our cause!

Outcome
"It's the end of an era — King Irovetti is dead! I won't be writing any obituaries for him, no eulogies or condemnations — I'll leave that to someone who wasn't involved in his dethronement. But one thing is clear: Pitax will never be the same. What will become of it now? That's up to King/Queen {Name} to decide!"
