Path to Becoming a Lord - Giran

Congratulations on your ascension to the lordship of Giran. I trust you will rule wisely and well, my lord.

Hey! Are you looking for trouble? How dare you covet the lord's position? Go away before I loose the dogs on you!

(Only a Giran Castle lord may undertake this quest.)

My lord, are you content to only occupy Giran Territory, seat of culture and commerce? Would you not wish to make it a better, more prosperous land?

["Do you think I can rule Giran well?"]

I do, my lord. But despite your good intentions, you used force to assert your claims to this land. If you wish to become the true and undisputed lord of Giran, there is still something you must do.

["What is it?"]

A true lord's power rests on the loyalty and love of his subjects, not the force of his arms. To win the support necessary to rule this land, you must earn the trust of the local forces. Allow me to gather some information, and I will be able to tell you who to meet. I will return shortly, my lord.

As you know, Giran is the center of commerce. Therefore it should not surprise you that the most influential person in this territory is Warehouse Chief Gesto, whose organization controls the logistics necessary for trade. I think you should go see him and earn his trust, my lord. I have heard that he has a problem, and no doubt he would be grateful for your help.

Have you met with Gesto, my lord? Doing so is vital if you hope to gain his trust and support.

Well done, my lord! If Gesto supports you, you will have no problem being recognized as the lord of Giran. I will inform everyone that your coronation will take place at once.

["I leave it to you"]

I believe you should temporarily delay your plans to become lord. There are more immediate concerns you must attend to.

(The quest cannot be completed during a territory war or castle siege.)

This territory must be stable before you can become lord. I urge you to conclude alliances with nearby fortresses.

(You cannot become lord when a fortress is in an independent status.)

Understood, my lord!

I look forward to your wise and benevolent rule.

How can I help you? The Iron Gate Guild can get you anything -- provided it exists, of course.

But you don't seem like you're looking for something. So what brings you here?

["I need your support to become a lord"]

Ah, anybody who wants to become lord of Giran should come and see me! But why should I support you over the others?

Tell me, how will the Iron Gate Guild benefit from your rule?

["What if I resolve your problem?"]

Ah! So you already know what's going on. Then you will understand our predicament.

Giran Harbor, as you know, is a very busy port. But we have received word that a ship that left Gludin Harbor hasn't yet arrived at Giran Harbor. Will you investigate for us? Nothing like this has ever happened to us before. We aren't sure what to do.

Do this for us and you will certainly win our support!

As I told you, you must locate the ship that failed to arrive at Giran Harbor.

What brought you here?

That seal! Where did you find it?

Under the pirate ship tunnel bridge at the entrance of the Devil's Isle, eh? Could it be that the infamous Zaken is again on the loose? No...I don't think Zaken could leave. It must be his followers... .

I have an idea. Go to your master and ask him to have a look at the freight. If the pirate zombies attacked, there must be evidence on it. You should examine it also.

If you find evidence of their involvement, kill all the pirates of Devil's Isle and recover our freight. They took 550 containers, but I'm sure some of them have been destroyed.

I would be satisfied if you could recover even 300 of them. Please hurry!

How did it go? Were those Devil's Isle pirates involved? Oh, I hope you brought me good news.

Thank you! I saw your activities. Your clan members are quite imposing. With those kind of followers, I feel I can trust and support you in becoming the lord. Rule well, my lord!

Why did you come here? We may not be busy now, but soon there will be many ships here.

["I need information about a ship that didn't arrive when it was supposed to"]

That... If you know that, were you sent by Gesto?

It still hasn't arrived. We know it left Gludin, but after that... It couldn't have run onto a reef near Devil's Isle in such calm weather. I can't leave my post to investigate. Would you search the area near Devil's Isle? Please?

I can't leave my post to investigate. Please search the area near Devil's Isle. I beg of you!

Water has seeped inside, but the box is still in good shape. The seal on the box looks familiar... It looks like someone will have to be sent to Gesto to confirm the item.

The messenger hasn't arrived yet. The box was under the sea for a long time, and it is very brittle. You should wait patiently until help arrives.
