Maxim: ''Come closer. I must entrust to you something of --ah-- great importance.'' 
Maxim: ''The future, <playername>. I speak now of the future.'' 
Maxim: ''Mine...and perhaps yours.'' 
Maxim: '''''Two messages'''. Both vital. Airwaves cannot be relied upon to deliver the words they carry.'' 
Maxim: ''Will you take them for me, <playername>?'' 
Maxim: ''Will you serve well and mark your place in history below mine?'' 
Maxim: ''The messages... One for my dutiful '''Principality Lann'''. One for the my dear First Sword, '''Aeron'''.'' 
Maxim: ''Find each man at the head of his Fist... At the head of my vanguard!'' 
Maxim: ''Yes, <playername>. The Templar have massed. Soon we will act.'' 
Maxim: ''Be swift. Contact me upon delivery.'' 
Maxim: ''Soon now. Very soon now.'' 
* Take Items:
** A Message for [[Brandon Lann|Sergeant Lann]]
** A Message for [[Aeron Altair|Seraphim Altair]]
* Travel to [[Bishop's Court]]
* Deliver Maxim's message to Altair
Aeron Altair: ''<playername>! It's good to see you my friend!'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Come to join us, then?'' 
Aeron Altair: ''We're to use these modified Far Sights to detect and destroy nearby Rifts before they settle.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Why the High Lord assigned such a large contingent to the task, I do not know.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Who am I to doubt so great a man?'' 
Aeron Altair: ''What's this then? You bring '''new orders''' from the Seneschal?'' 
Aeron Altair: ''...No. He can't think to-- No, this can't be.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Are you certain this came from High Lord Maxim, <playername>?'' 
Aeron Altair: ''These are truly the orders my liege has given?'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Very-- Very well then.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''It seems I am to die tonight. It seems all my men are to die.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''I shall see you in the long after, my friend.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''If you chance to survive the Demon, let those who come next know...'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Let them know Aeron Altair was loyal to the last.'' 
------
Aeron is shaken. Maxim's orders crumple to the floor. The unbeaten Seraphim First Sword has seen his grave and it is open.
* Travel to [[Old Bailey]]
* Deliver Maxim's word to Sergeant Lann
Brandon Lann: ''I never actually thanked you. I do now.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''You saved me, <playername>. I... I will not forget.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''I am indebted but can offer little in return.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''Listen. I know my liege means to abandon us to an impossible task.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''I know also that you would not ever do the same.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''He is not like you and me. The High Lord thinks us both fools. We are not.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''Only foolishly loyal, perhaps.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''What you bring from his grace, it's no surprise. I have been waiting -- steeling myself and showing my men neither fear nor doubt. As a Knight should.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''Tell me, <playername>, do you know what a Knight is?'' 
Brandon Lann: ''In my youth, I dreamt of Knighthood.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''Oh, to be a champion! To be named hero by peers.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''To live as a man of song once did, born to save the meek from injustice -- born to stand against all storms great and small.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''I was young and wrong to want.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''A Knight is no more than a weapon, <playername>. We are to be pointed and used until we shatter, dull or rust.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''Do not follow me now. Do not be used.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''Where I go -- all this -- it's not for you.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''Leave. On your way.'' 
Brandon Lann: ''I am a Knight still...and so must obey.'' 
------
Lann reads. Over and over he reads his orders, quiet and cold.
* Incoming Transmission:
Maxim: ''The orders have been received and acknowledged. You've done well, <playername>.'' 
Maxim: ''What a satisfying liegeman you've become!'' 
Maxim: ''Lann and Aeron now lead my march. Their compliance was necessary and you have --ah-- delivered it on cue.'' 
Maxim: ''I rule the Templar, <playername>.'' 
Maxim: ''I am the Templar -- their lord and master...their legend.'' 
Maxim: ''And tonight I shall carve my name into the Gate of Hell so deeply the whole of Creation will have no choice but to stare agape and remember Maxim for time unending.'' 
Maxim: ''Listen now to destiny... I will broadcast this to all loyal men and women of light:'' 
Maxim: ''Templar... Attend!'' 
Maxim: ''War is upon us.'' 
Maxim: ''Will you heed the call raging within you?'' 
Maxim: ''Will you stand and fight as your Seneschal commands?'' 
Maxim: ''Will you march to glory!?!'' 
Maxim: ''Follow Principality Lann and the Seraphim First Sword!'' 
Maxim: ''Seal the Gates that would presume to ruin our Earth!'' 
Maxim: ''Crush the Demon where it dwells!'' 
Maxim: ''Cut to the very heart of Darkness!'' 
Maxim: ''Go now to victory!'' 
Maxim: ''Go now to glory!'' 
Maxim: ''I assure it, for this is Truth and I have spoken it!'' 
Maxim: ''Go now...''' 
Maxim: ''...TO THE HELLGATE!'' 
* Arphaun breaks into the transmission:
Arphaun: '''''Do not listen'''! He leads you astray!'' 
Arphaun: ''<playername>, '''do not follow him'''! I beg you. Please, you must '''return to me''' immediately!'' 
Arphaun: ''We must '''save as many of Maxim's Templar''' as we can.'' 
* Travel to [[Monument Station]]
* Speak with [[Arphaun|Lord Arphaun]]
Arphaun: ''Hmph! Maxim acted faster than I thought possible.'' 
Arphaun: ''The damned daft fool!'' 
Arphaun: ''His name will be writ in smoke! History will see to that.'' 
Arphaun: ''It looks as though we are doomed to become the survivors who must right his wrongs.'' 
Arphaun: ''This is a true catastrophe, <playername>.'' 
Arphaun: ''Soon Maxim's force will reach the Hellgate. Soon the Templar will meet the Demon and burn during the greeting.'' 
Arphaun: ''We can only hope to '''save as many as possible''' before the end.'' 
Arphaun: ''Please, '''give me a moment'''. I must devise a plan.''
