Vengeance of the Daughter

Signet's two-part revenge quest advances from reclaiming Fort Freedom to killing Queen Imogen at the high elves' elite party.

Story so far

Part one completes when Signet liberates Fort Freedom, increasing surviving assault members' opinion of Carl by twenty percent. The confederacy is defeated, but the ruined naiad realm will require years of recovery.

Part two identifies the high elves as the true architects of Signet's loss. Carl must help her kill Queen Imogen, who leaves the impenetrable High Elf Castle only for an annual elite party that Top Players may attend. Success will make the castle lootable, including a rumored defense against Scolopendra's attacks.

Appearance

A two-stage system quest whose notification shifts from a flooded ruined castle to an inaccessible high-elf palace.

Role

The quest joins Carl's Top Player access to Signet's final revenge objective.

Relationships

Signet — Her family loss and revenge define both parts.
Queen Imogen — Killing her is the second and final objective.
The High Elf Castle — Its contents become lootable after Imogen's death.
