Quest-Related Events[edit]
When you go inside the clinic in Suran, you will overhear him speaking to his dying father:
- Elic Valain: "Father, I got here as soon as I could. Please. Can you hear me?"
- Melvina Valain: "I'm sorry, my love. He's very weak."
If you talk to him:
- "Are you a healer with the clinic? Please. We came as soon as we heard. I need my father to know I made the journey. The way I last spoke to him … it can't be the last time. It can't.
I never wanted him to pass from this world alone." - I'm not with the clinic. What happened?
- "I grew up thinking nothing could kill my father. He was a soldier, and later a mercenary. Tough as they come.
So when he wrote to me about this illness, I knew it was serious. We haven't spoken in years." - Why not?
- "He expected me to follow in his footsteps. I tried. But it's one thing to hold a sword and another thing to use it. I have the heart of a historian. I'm not made for battle.
The last words between us were so bitter. I wanted to make amends." - Is there anything that can be done?
- "I don't know. The clinic says he's beyond their help. If I could just speak to him one more time. Put our bitterness behind us, and ease his passing.
But it's too late. My father is in his final moments, and has no idea I'm even here."
After the conversation is over:
- Votary Nahlia: "Elic, Melvina, hello. It must be a surprise to see me."
- Elic Valain: "Nahlia? What are you doing here?"
- Votary Nahlia: "I'll fill you in shortly. We're here to help. Friend, can I have a word?"
You can talk to him afterward:
- "You work with Nahlia? Are you with the Mages Guild? Maybe there's something you can do to help my father?"
After your chat with Nahlia:
- Melvina Valain: "Nahlia, please. Is there anything you and your friend can do?"
- Elic Valain: "I just want him to know I'm here."
- Votary Nahlia: "One moment, Elic. This ink is … it's working. You're headed to Dragon Bridge. Walk with Magnus."
Before you enter the portal:
- "I'm tempted to follow you into those portals, but I need to stay with my father."
As you return back to Suran:
- Elic Valain: "Father! It's Elic. I'm here. Just be still."
- Jahones Valain: "My boy. I've much to say after coming so far. Just let me catch my breath."
Elic will be thankful that he got his father back and you will encourage him to make up with his father for lost time:
- "He can hear me, he knows I'm here. My father doesn't have to pass from this world alone.
I'm so overwhelmed. I don't know how to thank you. What did you do?" - Your father's soul was still here. I just had to urge him back to your side.
- "Growing up, he was all I had. Mother passed when I was young. We regretted what we said to each other, but the years got away from us.
What do I do? How can I make up for all these years we've missed together?" - Say what you want to say while there's still time.
- "I'll try to tell him everything. My time as a historian, meeting my wife Melvina. Everything. I'm just so relieved to hear his voice again.
You and Nahlia have given me a memory to last the rest of my life. Thank you, stranger." - You're welcome.
Both father and son will begin to make amends:
- Jahones Valain: "Elic, my life's pride, I'm so sorry. Those things I said to you—I wish I could take it all back."
- Elic Valain: "I know, Dad. I'm sorry I didn't give you the chance to make amends."
- Jahones Valain: "Shh, my boy. We're together now. That's all that matters."
- Votary Nahlia: "We've done all we can here. Let's head back to the Scholarium and speak with you know who."
Speaking to him before heading back to the Scholarium:
- "Thank you.
Now I'm going to spend the remaining time with my father catching him up on everything."
