- "Set clear objectives, hold people accountable, then get out of the way. Delegate appropriately: there's no point in getting yourself killed - that's what subordinates are for. Remember, it's their job to take that fortified bastion, not yours."

Septima Tharn is the Imperial Magus-General commanding the Imperial Seventh Legion during their invasion of Bangkorai in the midst of the Alliance War. She serves as the region's main antagonist.

God of Schemes[]
"Please, get me out of here! I've changed! Please!"

Conversations[]
Queen Arzhela: "I don't like this. Where's the Magus-General? It's not like a Tharn to be late." Septima Tharn: "Impatience is hardly the mark of a strong ruler, Your Majesty." Queen Arzhela: "When you're queen, you're welcome to set a finer example, Magus-General." Septima Tharn: "That's one honor I do not seek. What I do seek, is the unconditional surrender of Evermore." Queen Arzhela: "You came all this way just to make absurd demands? I'm surprised." Septima Tharn: "Hardly absurd, Arzhela. I tried the soft approach with the duke, but you spoiled that effort. I've come to make one final offer: surrender, or you will die." Queen Arzhela: "Your threats carry little weight, Septima. Bangkorai Garrison still stands between us, and it does not fall easily, or did you miss that in your history lessons?" Septima Tharn: "Those who hide in the shadows of the past are crushed when its structure come tumbling down … Bangkorai Garrison has already fallen. My legionaries walk its battlements even now." Queen Arzhela: "Is this another of your lies? I don't care. It's clear you want a war. And if that's what you want, you can have it! What the …? She's not even here! It's an illusion!" Septima Tharn: "Ha! Just remember, you struck first, Arzhela. Seventh Legion—Attack!" Darien Gautier: "Ambush! Defend the queen at all cost."
- Storming the Garrison
Battlemage Papus: "The king's champion is coming, Magus-General. Should we make an example of this fool?" Septima Tharn: "It's not "we", Papus. It's "you". I have other matters to attend to. Finish the ceremony first, then deal with the interloper." Battlemage Papus: "Yes, of course. The dark anchor first, then the … interloper. Thank you for this honor, Magus-General. Glory to the Empire!" Septima Tharn: "Glory to the Lord of Brutality, Papus. Glory to Molag Bal."
- Trials and Tribulations
High King Emeric: "All right everyone. This is it. No one is allowed to die until they've taken down at least a dozen enemies. Kill as many as you can. The only exception is the Magus-General—she's mine, and mine alone." Septima Tharn: "Good speech, Emeric. I can't believe you still fancy me after all these years. Let's get reacquainted then, shall we?" High King Emeric: "Overconfident as ever, I see! I'm not afraid of you, Septima …." Lion Guard: "To arms! Defend the King!" Septima Tharn: "You will not! I think we need some alone time, Emeric. Come, let's find a quiet place …."
- The Far Shores
High King Emeric: "You're here too? Can you get us back? It's quite pleasant here, but I'm not ready to die yet! We can't let them win!" Septima Tharn: "Hush now, Emeric. Your death matters little—there are other kings. It's this one I wanted. The one who's been holding the Covenant together at every turn. The vestige from Coldharbour." Septima Tharn: "Didn't think I knew, did you? I did, and I knew I couldn't kill you … on Mundus. Here though, you're severed from Coldharbour, from your soul. Here, you're stuck. Goodbye now." Keeper of the Hall: "Insolent necromancer! The Far Shores is no prison in which you can place your enemies! You dare to come here and then expect to leave freely? I think not." Keeper of the Hall: "You though, are no less a fool. An honorable fool, but a fool nonetheless. Hm. Very well, though. I have an offer: slay this wretched woman and you and your liege can return to the Mundus." Septima Tharn: "I'll leave whenever I damn well please … but I'll enjoy teaching you both a lesson in power first."
