Faction "Haranya Alliance"

Completed the quest "Buying Loyalty"

Dialogs:

NPC:/dialogue So, you wish to establish your own nation here on Auroria? That is a dangerous dream, friend. I can see why you would want to be sure of our ties to you.

NPC:/confused Haranya would surely see your aspirations as treason. But... perhaps a little treason is exactly what Auroria needs.

NPC:/contend You've seen what happened in Diamond Shores. It was peaceful, once. But then the southern kingdoms arrived in full force, and brought all their petty squabbles with them.

NPC:/dialogue Now the Ayanad Library is ringed with cannons and fortifications. Nuia and Haranya fight like dogs over a bone, blind to the danger just beyond their doorsteps. It's disgusting.

NPC:/contend Gone are their lofty oaths to reclaim their homeland for the people. Gone are their promises to protect all settlers equally. They've cast aside the Crimson Watch, and left us to struggle on alone.

NPC:/quarrel So I say... perhaps it IS time for a new kingdom on Auroria. One that is not blinded by old prejudices. One that will stand by the Watch, and help defend this land against Anthalon and his foul minions.

NPC:/dialogue If you will swear to build such a kingdom, @PC_NAME(0), you have our full support.

NPC:/contend But we're getting ahead of ourselves. You'll never be able to establish a new nation with your Haranyan masters watching your every move. You'll need to distract them somehow. And I think I know just the way.

NPC:/dialogue General Belisar commands the warriors in the Nuian Base. He's a boastful warmonger, more interested in spilling Harani blood than protecting his people.

NPC:/quarrel If you were to sneak into the Nuian Base after a battle and eliminate Belisar, the Nuians would surely suspect Haranyan treachery. They would have no choice but to respond with force.

NPC:/talk Then, while the Nuians and Haranyans fight, they would be blind to what goes on across the bay. You could construct your defenses and establish your new nation before the southern kingdoms ever knew what happened!

NPC:/contend I know it may seem cruel. But cutting ties has never been a tidy process. And you're right: the time for southern hands in northern politics is over. I look forward to hearing of your success, your highness. As does the Crimson Watch.
