"He was killed in the line of duty.  Rhiannon was devastated.  Rather than leave, however, she stayed on, serving the Empire, because it was what she thought he would want.  I don't even know his name.  But she was lost, bereft--strong in battle but very vulnerable in matters of the heart.  Her Captain took advantage of this.  He made promises to her he never intended to keep and told her that he loved her.  When they were caught, he lied, telling the tribunal that investigated the matter that she had seduced him, that she had no morals and was no better than a tavern wench.  No one would come forward and speak for her.  Since she had carried on an illicit affair with one soldier already, they believed him.  He had more value to them anyway.  It was easy to give her a dishonorable discharge and be rid of the problem.  She did not receive a more severe punishment because the Captain so graciously plead mercy for her. I guess he felt guilty. He should have felt guilty, for he very nearly ruined her.

She had the good fortune, if you will, to run into us at that point. She fought bravely with us and earned her place as a Knight. With the money she made she built a new life for herself. She now owns land, property and is a Thane of Morthal. She helped us rescue Lee and for that I will be eternally grateful to her.

So I do not see her 'quitting', Eogan. If she chooses to see this as the end of her road with us then I am good with that. I understand why she does not wish to continue and be forced to fight with the Legion again."

Brighid fell silent.

"She loved Max," blurted Brihanna.

Brighid looked at her. "Then all the more reason for her to leave.  She has loved and lost twice now.  The pain must be excuciating," she paused, "but it would not surprise me if she shows up when we need her most."
