So I started the hildibrand questline today, and this has been my main takeaway.

The Scholasticate quest line is almost done! And I have to admit I’ll be sad once I’ve finished them all. These were really fun!

saint endalim's scholasticate questline

my transcript of the scholasticate quests is finally done! i started organising it years ago for myself, this account has really motivated me to finish old projects. when i first started, the online records that i could find for the quests were lacking, and i really wanted them to be more accessible. some reference material exists now, but i still want to share my script. i hope it may be of use to somebody.

aside from the story, i recorded optional dialogue, added references to the scholasticate in different quests, and other information such as alternate emote responses by some characters. essentially, it's a project made out of love for the scholasticate quests and its characters.

here is the link!

i truly believe the scholasticate questline carries a wonderful amount of lore, discussion on ishgardian faith post-heavensward, noble-commoner relationships, and interesting, fluid character dynamics.

this is the first time i've posted something like this, so if there's any errors, please let me know! similarly, i'm open to feedback on improving it.

Nashu almost blows up Briardien

Case Closed!

Another set of screenshots of Beatrix's adventures. This time she joins the Incredible Inspector himself, Hildibrand Manderville. Featuring the aforementioned inspector, his dedicated assistant Nashu, the witty Ellie, and condescending Inspector Briardien*.

[*or Brambles as Beatrix calls him.]

I love this questline. Picture dump beneath the cut as this is a long one. There will be spoilers.

Briardien’s carbuncle library room in the FC has almost been untouched since uh...*checks notes* ....2017. He was really overdue for a big update, and I was swimming in spare marble beds since me and tara revamped his house. Same exact idea as the original room but neeew.

Prompt #22: Aftermath

Characters: Briardien, Aramis ( @zoetic-tome ) Notes: Follow up to Risks & Rewards

The room is quiet now; Aramis had left, though the taste of his lips still lingered upon Briardien's own, a tantalizing trace of the man who, were he made of less stout fiber, he would have called for and pleaded to stay. But the knowledge of the selfishness of it, of the flagrant disregard for propriety had held his tongue; after all, while he had very thoroughly cleaned house after Aramis' ascent from secondborn to head, he knew all too well what a careless bit of gossip from a servant could do.

But that did not mean he had not been tempted all the same. It was so very, very rare that he had the pleasure of being with Aramis during the light of day, and not having to keep up appearances for others.

"Blessed Fury, forgive me my selfishness," he murmurs as he settles down, making himself more comfortable among the plush pillows and warm blankets; while his own bedchamber was not nearly as grand his lord's, it was a far sight more lavish than the servant quarters he had once resided in.

Yet he would trade it all away, if it just meant that Aramis could remain freely at his side.

But he would never ask that. He knew all too well how heavily the burden of his family's line resided on the young lord's shoulders, and it was his job to help him bear it, not tempt him into sending it cascading into ruin.

And ruin it would be, if the truth of the two of them ever came to light.

The unfairness of it all burns like acrid smoke in his lungs, but there is naught that he can do about it. He had made his promises, over and over, in deed and in unfaltering loyalty. It is why he has no regret about his actions, even though they could have gone so much worse.

A bullet was nothing, as long as it meant that he would be safe.

Ellie: It's over… It's all… over. Inspector Briardien. You said there was something you would tell me when all was through. I imagine you have no words for me now… Briardien: Ellie… your powers of deduction are wanting. You said that you had lost everything and everyone you had to lose, did you not? As for me, I have found something--someone--with whom I intend never to part. I care not if it takes years, even decades. When you emerge from your gaol cell a free woman… I will be there. What say you?
