Quest-Related Events[edit]

When you enter the fortress, it becomes apparent that Honoria is speaking to you through her old locket.

Locket of Honoria: "I remember these halls. Once proud ... now, ruined. All because of me."
Locket of Honoria: "Please, help me make things right. Seek out the library. A letter from my beloved rests upon a writing desk. My atonement begins there."

After speaking with Jano Invel:

Locket of Honoria: "Jano was so desperate to save these people and I let him down. I let them all down. That's why I must make this right."
Locket of Honoria: "Still … Jano doesn't know why I left. Why I had to protect the very thing that was more important than even myself. If only I would have told him …."

As you destroy the totems, you can see visions of the past, followed by Honoria's commentary. After destroying Honoria's Sword:

Jano Invel: "I can still do this, with or without Honoria. I just need objects she treasured. She polishes this sword once a fortnight. It will work. It has to."
Locket of Honoria: "He worked so hard, but he forgot a critical point. The item had to bind us together. The two of us. Gods, I'm so sorry, Jano …."

After destroying Honoria's Diary:

Jano Invel: "I know you always valued your privacy, Honoria. Maybe this will be enough …. Your worries, your joys. Your secret desires. Another legionary fell ill today. It has to be enough."
Locket of Honoria: "My diary wasn't enough. If he had just read it, he would have known why I left. For once, Jano, I wish you would have pried."

After destroying the Child's Toy:

Jano Invel: "Honoria … Honoria and her damned toys! Did you clutch this as a child? I … I have to try. Damn you for leaving me, Honoria. Damn you!"
Locket of Honoria: "The ritual … the soul binding. I couldn't risk the life of our child on a spell like that. So I left. Damn my cowardice … I left without saying goodbye. But now, we can make things right."

After burning the Locket of Honoria, her spirit appears.

Honoria Garrana: "Jano. Thank the Eight, it worked."
Jano Invel: "Honoria? Is it really you?"

Speak with her.

"Catina chooses her allies well. That's my clever girl.
Finally, our spirits can rest. Finally."
What happens now?
"Now? I try to reconcile with the man I betrayed.
I will try to contact Catina one last time before we drift to Aetherius, but if I can't, tell her I love her. More than anything. I'm sorry I caused her such distress."
What should I tell her about Jano?
"Tell her the truth. Her father wanted to save everyone despite the risks. I wanted to keep her safe.
Jano and I both made mistakes. Pride and stubbornness. Cowardice and heartache …. But now we can make things right. We can find peace."
If we broke the curse, why do all these undead remain?
"Flesh always proves sluggish and stubborn. These corpses may wander these halls for a while longer. But I assure you, their souls are free of the curse, and will find their way to Aetherius very soon."
Fair enough. I'll tell Catina what I witnessed.

After speaking with Honoria, she apologizes to Jano for leaving.

Honoria Garrana: "I'm sorry I left you when you needed me, my love. It was cowardly. But there's something I must tell you—the reason I fled."
Jano Invel: "What possible reason could you have? We could have saved these people, Honoria. Why? Why did you leave me?"
Honoria Garrana: "Come with me, Jano. Let me show you before we fade away."

They then disappear. After turning in the quest, they reappear in front of Catina.

Jano Invel: "Honoria, who is this?"
Honoria Garrana: "This is your daughter, Jano. Catina. This is why I left. The ritual posed too high a risk for an unborn child. I tried to tell you. So many times. But you were so busy, and … I was a coward."
Jano Invel: "Catina …. I had no idea. She has your eyes, Honoria."
Honoria Garrana: "And your stubbornness, my love. Which is why I knew she would find a way to help us. I should have told you. I'm so sorry."
Jano Invel: "Thank you. Thank you for showing her to me. I … I only wish I had more time."
