Detailed Walkthrough

The quest can be started three ways, from reading a Seeking New Members! flier that can be found around Gonfalon Bay, finding Brahgas outside the Gaming Hall in Gonfalon Bay, or speaking with Sorinne Gaerard in the Cloudy Dregs Inn in Wayrest:

Sorinne Gaerard: "Hear ye, cardsharps and collectors! Test your wits and courage in a brand new card game— Tales of Tribute!"

If you decide to start the quest with her, speak with Sorinne and she will ask you to travel to Gonfalon to learn how to play:

"Hey there! You've got a hungry look. The eye of a real competitor—I can see it!
Well, my friend, Tales of Tribute is the game for you."

What is Tales of Tribute, exactly?

"It's a game, of course! A card game to be precise—full of twists, and thrills, and canyon-deep strategy.
I've been traveling around recruiting new players. It's been a lot of walking, but seeing the joy of new players makes it worth every step."

How do I play?

"Ha! Hooked another one!
If you want to learn the game, you should travel to Gonfalon Bay on High Isle and talk to my friend Brahgas. You'll find him at the city gaming hall. He'll get you sorted. I wish you safe travels and good luck in the game!"

All right, I'll find Brahgas in Gonfalon Bay.

All three starting points will require you to find the Gaming Hall in Gonfalon Bay on High Isle. The building is on a small island connected by a bridge on the south end of the city. Brahgas is leaning up against a fountain having a conversation:

Brahgas: "Come on, just one more match. Give me a chance to win my gold back!"

Guiffa Larocque: "And what will you bet? That ridiculous nose ring? Find another racket, Braghas. Tribute ain't for you."

Afterwards, you can speak Brahgas to introduce yourself:

"Heard all that, eh? Guiffa's a palms-up cardsharp. One of the best Tribute players in town. But, like I always say, if you want to take the measure of a graht, you've got to climb!
That nose ring gibe was unnecessary, right? I'll get her next time!"

Someone told me I should talk to you about Tales of Tribute.

"Sorinne, right? She definitely has an eye for talent!
Yes, I can tell you all about Tribute! It's a card game, a scavenger hunt ... Z'en's price, it's practically a religion for some folk. You want fame? Gold? It's all there for the taking!"

Sounds interesting. How do I get started?

"Ha! A fresh player! Excellent!
First things first. You need to learn the rules of the game. And you'll need a couple decks of Tribute cards, of course. Find Razhamad in the Gonfalon Gaming Hall. Tell him Brahgas sent you. He'll get you sorted."

All right, I'll speak to Razhamad.

Head into the gaming hall, to the east of Brahgas. Master Razhamad will be in the next room straight ahead:

"Greetings, my friend, and welcome to the Gonfalon Gaming Hall! Please, drink and make merry! We have many strong players gracing the hall today—lots of action. Tales of Tribute is free to watch but far more fun to play.
Do you play, wayfarer?"

Not yet. I'd like to learn more about Tales of Tribute.

"Then you have come to the right place!
Tales of Tribute is a game of stories—some fantastical, and others all too real. Two players share their tales with decks of cards. The game is elegant and easy to learn, but it takes great effort to master."

How do you play?

"First, you will need two decks. Each deck represents a different story—a different strategy. Your opponent brings two decks as well. Once you and your adversary combine your decks, the game can begin.
A shared pool, you see? A level field of play."

All right. So, where can I get these decks of Tribute cards?

"Make your way to the beginner's lounge and find my associate, Brahgas. Tell him Razhamad approved an initiation match. He will lend you a pair of decks and teach you the basics.
Complete this trial, then return to me for your reward!"

I just saw Brahgas outside.

Brahgas will be back in the first room, to the left as you exit the second room, sitting at a tribute table.

"Hey! If it isn't my new old friend! Found the place easy enough, eh? Pull up a chair, have a drink! As long as you're buying, of course. I'm, uh ... well, I'm a little light in the purse at the moment.
So, you talk to Razhamad yet?"

I'm ready to play. Razhamad said you were a good teacher.

"Oh, did he? Oh, I love it when we bring new players into the fold! Gets boring playing the same old salts day after day. We need new blood in here!
Now, before we begin, you'll need these. Two Tribute decks you can borrow for educational purposes!"

What do I do with these?

"You try to defeat me, of course! First to forty prestige, or winning the favor of all the patrons, is the victor. Don't worry, chum. I'll explain that as we go along.
And loosen up, eh? You'll do fine. I'll go easy on you!"

At this point you will be handed a set of Tales of Tribute Playing Decks, you can interact with the gaming table in front of you to begin the match. You will now play Brahgas in Tribute, and he will explain the game to you. After you win, go back to Master Razhamad and speak to him to officially join the club, and receive your reward.

"You return victorious, yes? Ha! I hope you enjoyed the match. I have played countless games of both luck and skill, and truly, Tales of Tribute is the best by far.
So, now that you have learned the rules, do you wish to continue your gaming journey?"

Yes, I want to play more Tales of Tribute. What do I do now?

"Now, you claim membership in the Gonfalon Chapter of the Roister's Club—a fraternity of Tribute players committed to fair play and stiff competition.
As an official Roister, you will gain access to a host of opponents and decks of your very own!"

Are there other rewards?

"Oh, countless rewards! With each victory, you will rise higher in the club rankings. Do well enough and you may even earn the right to challenge the club's founders—the creators of the game itself!
So, what do you say? Will you join us?"

Yes, I'll join the Gonfalon Chapter of the Roister's Club.

"Then it is my honor to furnish you with your first pair of decks, and welcome you wholeheartedly to the Gonfalen Chapter of the Roisters Club!
May good fortune shine on you, my friend. I am eager to see you put those cards to good use!"

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
