[Quest Design] - Gorne - Gorne Fishing

Post by Tondollari »

Two Gorne residents in the Emerald Haven are having a dispute over fishing rights.

Delamus Andary noticed that hunter Silyn Avel has been "poaching" in his ancestral territory, the sea around Gorne. Silyn started doing this after completely clearing fauna from the island. Afterwards, he had trouble making ends meet and started fishing.

When Delamus told off about Silyn's poaching to Ravos Sorvalith, Silvyn argued that his duty was to "Exterminate all wild threats to the people of Gorne" (or words to this effect), which includes fish.

Ravos decided that both have valid claims because, by ordained law, the owner of the "Staff of (Name Unknown)" had right to Gorne's fish. Because the staff was lost at sea when Delamus' brother fell victim to a terrible accident, Gorne's fishing rights are now a free-for-all.

Because of the conflict, Ravos suggested that they settle the dispute by engaging in open warfare on the sea. Whatever the outcome, he says, it will determine new law. Neither of them were satisfied with this judgment.

After hearing both of their stories, the player can:

1.)With speechcraft, convince them to adhere to the judgment of another third party they can agree on, Idav Theryn. He will say for one to take the waters east of Gorne, the other the waters west. Returning this news will complete the quest, but the dispute will continue, except this time over who will take which side. Player will get small reward, with open option of continuing to part 2.


2.)They have both already agreed that the dispute will be settled entirely when either one of them possesses the lost "Staff of (name unkown)". This staff belonged to the very first fisherman of Gorne, whose family line died out. Before, owning the staff symbolically connected Delamus' family to Gorne's waters. Delamus' brother's body is already present: contain_corpse10 Lan Orethan Region (41,-27) 340886 -221144 -1910 "corpse location" The player can find the staff near the body (Dreugh staff, possibly enchanted) and give it to either one of them or declare intent to keep it. Quest complete.
