So...

I wanted to ask that, but wasn't it about Kirine and Krug secretly ordering Taunes' men to abandon him or something? Then, when he comes back, Krug tries to arrest him because he refused to lead another assault on the elves.

I'll recap the giant civil war:

A long time ago, Krug's father waged war with the elves. It was a bloody war that lasted a while, but during that time, Krug's father died. With the missing throne, there were people who fought for the crown, not just Krug. Among these people were Zeder's father, who was largely popular. He wanted to end the war and usher in peace with the elves. However, Krug, disliking that Zeder's father was opposing everything that his father stood for and his popular support nearing him to the crown, had Zeder's father assassinated. With Zeder's father dead, he took the throne without question and became the king. He then continued his father's campaign to annihilate the elves and the war. However, he knew that Zeder's father had a son, namely Zeder, so he had Wanst adopt Zeder to raise him and keep him under surveillance in case he were to end up like his father and fight Krug for power. Up to this day, Zeder, fully aware of what happened, is secretly sharpening his blade of revenge.

Mm, how come we don't have recorded at all?

Not everyone bothers to datadive for the story or raise npc affection to hear more indepth stories about the giants.

Or dig into the files to read NPC dialogues.

Dialogue is server-side, otherwise we'd have all the keyword responses already.

DAMMIT!!!

I wanna know, what's with the absurd amount of fortification around Shyllien, Hillwen, and that Mysterious Karu Forest Ruins.
