Quest

I met a strange woman whom I know only as the Grieving Mother. She's a powerful cipher who shrouds herself from plain view. Yet even though our minds experience a powerful communion, I know little about her or where she came from.

When I first encountered the Grieving Mother on the road, I experienced a dream - or was it a memory? - of childbirth.

Perhaps the Grieving Mother herself can explain what I saw.

Objectives

  1. Learn of the Grieving Mother's past.
  2. Discover the importance of the disturbing dream.
  3. Find out what happened with the Hollowborn at the Birthing Bell.

Endings

  1. This woman, whoever she was, has vanished from my company.
  2. The Grieving Mother is dead. Strange, I seem to remember less and less of her by the moment.
  3. No matter her reasons, the Grieving Mother was wrong to manipulate the villagers, and I think she understood that. I explained that controlling others is a grievous wrong, even in the face of a tragedy like the Legacy. Some things must take their natural course.
  4. The Grieving Mother is still haunted by her actions at the Birthing Bell as well as by her ultimate failure to protect the Hollowborn there. Nevertheless, she did the best she could at the time. If we find an opportunity to reverse the Legacy, I know it will be worthwhile, whatever the cost.
