Dialogue[edit]

"Go on, then—kill me. At least I took a few of you traitorous bastards down before the end."
I'm a Knight of the Dragon. I won't kill an unarmed soldier.
"I saw them killing Knights of the Dragon. Then you really don't know?
Who are you?"
Commander Reliana. I serve Lord Trystan.
"Lord Trystan? The one who devised the duel?
It won't solve anything. The duel is a trap, but not because of your lord. General Mercedene plans to betray the Orcs, the Redguards—everyone but the Bretons."
Explain yourself.
"How well do you know your own king? Joile isn't fighting for peace, or for his people. He's here to conquer.
When Orsinium falls, Hammerfell remains. But Gaiden Shinji would lead the defense, so … best to kill him off before then."
If this is true, I must warn Lord Trystan.
"Find them. Warn them if you can. The things General Mercedene did when I was her captive … call me a coward, but I can't go back there.
When you find Baloth, tell him "Your brother Rokaug says you should eat ashes." He'll know I'm alive."
Rokaug? I was told you were dead. I delivered the news to Baloth myself!
"To pull Shinji here, they needed Baloth. My 'death' drew my brother in.
Mercedene is cannier than she seems."
"She is the instrument your king chose to enact his plan, and she takes much pleasure in it. She's a vicious woman who revels in blood and death.
Says it's in Malacath's name. Ha."
Do you have any proof of this plan?
"King Joile's assassins kill Savage Son and Diagnan alike. Look around—the proof of your king's treachery is before you.
Mercedene received orders. They must have come from Joile. Find the orders for your proof—after you warn my brother."
How did you escape?
"Just before the duel, Mercedene called for her personal forces—her "Winterborn." They left, and I escaped.
Maybe they thought I didn't have the strength to run. Maybe they didn't care."

If you speak to him before advancing the quest, he'll reprimand you:

"Why do you linger? General Mercedene's assassins already advance upon the duel.
Warn them. Hurry!"

After defeating Mercedene, you'll see the following scene:

Lord Trystan : "Stay your hand, young Orc. Too much blood was spilled this day. Enough heroes lost."
Rokaug : "Agreed. The duel … did you see it? Was there a victor?"
Lord Trystan : "I saw a willow and a graht-oak, dancing in the wind. I thought their styles vastly different, until I realized …."
Rokaug : "'Adhere to the style that defeats your opponent.' People used to claim it was Shinji's proverb. Always made Baloth crack a smile."

Speaking to Rokaug at this point, he'll say:

"I swore I'd never thank a Breton—not after what your king did to my home. But when I finally go to the Ashen Forge, I'll tell Malacath a tale of the Dragon who slew the Beast.
That's all you get."

Speaking to him after Trystan, he'll say:

"They called my brother the Wild Boar. No king ever tamed him, and he fought for his own reasons.
But he fought here. For me … for all Orsinium. His sacrifice shouldn't be forgotten."
