Plateau Village Transit

Quest Overview
In response to the events of the Fort Tethana Tug of War quest, Queen Elysa had given orders to send soldiers from Plateau Village to Fort Tethana as reinforcements. But before they could achieve this the Viamontians had built a castle and overrun a nearby Renegade Tumerok fort to block this move.

Lord Tyrell Marsan, the leader of the soldiers, required you to clear a path through the Viamontians and return to him with the enemy's colors (pennants). The mission was successful and the army of New Aluvia marched on towards Teth. To learn the fate of Lord Marsan see The Dark Spiral Quest.

Since then, the soldiers are now gone and only Lieutenant Allandal remains. She still rewards adventurers for raiding the Viamontian fortifications.

Walkthrough

 * 1) Head to Bluespire. From Bluespire enter the Viamontian Laboratory in the center of town (39.4N, 75.3W).
 * 2) When inside the dungeon head north through the doors and ignore the next side rooms. At the T-intersection take either a left or right, you will come to a ramp down, instead turn around and go south into the room with two doors.
 * 3) Inside the west room is the Viamontian Portal Mage, kill him and take his Bracelet of Passage. Now go take the ramp north and whilst wielding the bracelet enter the portal to Castle Pietrus.
 * 4) You will portal into the basement of a villa type building at Castle Pietrus. Head up the stairs to the top floor and defeat Captain Vietre Lasallia, take his Pennant. The Castle Pietrus Log Book is downstairs in a side room full of books and can be handed in for additional xp.
 * 5) Now you have the first of two Pennants head south east to the Tumerok Fortification at 16.5N, 50.5W.
 * 6) Defeat Captain Iacollia Dimari here and loot the Viamontian Pennant. The Tumerok Record Book found in the south east tower can also be given in for some experience (stairs are barricaded so use the outside wall).
 * 7) Return the books and pennants to Lieutenant Allandal to be awarded the XP.

Lore & Dialog
Dialog if too low (level 1 - 51 - ??)
 * Lieutenant Allandal tells you, "I do not think you have enough experience to aid me in the matter of the vanished army. However, if you have ventured to the fortifications between here and Fort Tethana, I will accept any Viamontian banners you may have retrieved."

Opening Dialog
 * Lieutenant Allandal tells you, "Peace be with you in these dark times. I serve Queen Elysa Strathelar in an information gathering role, but currently those of us who gather information for Her Majesty are baffled by a strange occurance."
 * Lieutenant Allandal tells you, "We recently sent an army to the Fort Tethana region, a move that was matched by the Viamontian loyalists. We have heard nothing about either force since a report that they had sat down to parlay, except for a rumor of Tumerok activity in the area."
 * Lieutenant Allandal tells you, "The Queen would like you to explore the area, and return with any information you find."
 * Lieutenant Allandal tells you, "I have heard that others are in search of information about what happened to the forces. Although Her Majesty would prefer that people aid her, in this matter she believes that something which transcends this war has occurred. As such, if you choose to aid the Viamontians, there will be no negative ramifications from our side."
 * Lieutenant Allandal tells you, "Also, if you have ventured to the fortifications between here and Fort Tethana, I will accept any Viamontian banners you may have retrieved."

 * Lieutenant Allandal tells you, "For your efforts, I award you with one of the shields we give to members of our army. Return it if you do not wish it as a reward."

Retired Dialog
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "You're here to volunteer? Good, good! I could use some volunteers. Now, listen well."
 * Lord Marsan gestures to the southwest.
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "I've been given orders - by Her Majesty herself, no less - to arrange for safe transit from Plateau Village to Fort Tethana. Her Majesty's going to finally do something about Teth - don't know what, myself. Maybe she's going to attack the renegades, maybe she's going to remind those Fort Tethana vagabonds where their loyalties belong!"
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "It's my job to make sure that the army reaches the Northern Direlands, and to make sure that the troops get their supplies after they've wandered through here."
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "Problem is, some Viamontians have set up a castle seemingly overnight in our path. Spies report that they may have originated from Bluespire. It may be worth your time to check out that report. There's also a long-standing Renegade Tumerok fortress along the way, though their fortifications aren't nearly so frightening."
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "So your job, should you choose to accept it, is to clear a patch for the army by defeating the inhabitants of either fortification - both, if possible. It's often customary, when you win a battle, to take the colors of the other side, so that's how I'd like you to prove that the job's done - bring back the pennants of the opposing force. And, if you should happen to find any intelligence about what the blue bastards are up to, you let me know."


 * You give Lord Tyrell Marsan Viamontian Pennant.
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "You've beaten the viamontian swine? Good job. We'll begin to mobilize the scout detachment to move through the Direlands, and then once we've got a solid base establsihed, we'll do...whatever needs to be done. Here, take this pennant, bearing the arms of Her Majesty. Display it proudly."
 * You've earned 288,496 experience.
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan gives you Strathelar Pennant.


 * Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "Well, well, well...this is a fascinating read. So the Viamontians have a laboratory in Bluespire, and they're using it to make portals to the mainland. Queen Elysa will be very interested to read this."


 * You give Lord Tyrell Marsan Viamontian Pennant.
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "Another company banner! By Pwyll, well done! I already gave you a banner recently, so let me give you this as a token of the Queen's esteem."
 * You've earned 288,496 experience.
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan gives you Shield of Strathelar.
 * Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "We normally issue these shields only to members of our army. But you've helped us plenty - you've earned it. If you don't want the shield, hand it back, and I'll tell you some old war stories that might teach you a thing or two."
