Dialogue[]
The Flame of Dissent[]
At the start of the quest:
"If you've come to Firebrand Keep to petition for help from the Knights of the Flame, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Our leader, Sir Hughes, seems to have gone mad, and the knights are divided over whether or not to follow his last order."
- Sir Hughes is mad. He killed the Duchess. "This is far worse than I thought, and makes our cause all the more critical. Sir Hughes just returned to the keep, acting strangely. He's in there with Sir Croix, who is making preparations to attack the Redguards at Alcaire Castle."
- We have to stop them. "Indeed. Myself and these others were exiled for standing against Sir Croix, but we are too few at present to retake the keep. There are other knights in the keep who are questioning Sir Croix. Could you go in and look for those who would join us?"
- I'll rally knights to the cause.

After rallying the dissenters:
"I knew more of my fellow knights would come to see the insanity Sir Croix means to unleash at Alcaire Castle. I think we have enough knights now to retake the keep. I've sent them to take up strategic positions."
- Are we ready to attack then? "Indeed. Taking up arms against our fellow knights is something I know none of us wishes to do, but Sir Croix has forced this upon us. This is unpleasant business, but let's get on with it."
Retaking Firebrand Keep[]
At the start of the quest:
"I dread the prospect of having to do battle with my fellow knights. Nonetheless, it must be done. I've ordered the knights who have joined our cause to take up strategic positions around the keep."
- What part would you have me play? "I've told the knights positioned around the castle to attack on our signal. There's a siege horn mounted atop Firebrand Keep's main hall. If you are willing, I would ask you to go there and blow the horn. That will signal everyone to attack."
- I'll blow the horn. Be ready.
After blowing the horn:
"We caught them by surprise and I think we have the upper hand. I've been wounded, though. I don't think I'd be of any more use in the battle."
- You've done enough already. "I've done what I could, but I failed to find Sir Croix. Now I fear he would best me quite easily. I need you to do this. I believe the other knights will stand down if we can defeat Sir Croix. Will you face him for me?"
- Where do I find him? "He's in the eastern garrison. Kill him. Put an end to this. There's another siege horn on top of the garrison. When Croix is killed, blow that horn. The knights will pause, and I'll use that moment to call for an end to the fighting."
After killing Sir Croix:
"I grieve for Sir Croix and all those who died fighting for him, but there was no other way to save the Knights of the Flame. Thank you for doing what I could not."
- So the battle's over? "Indeed. With Sir Croix slain, I am assuming command of Firebrand Keep for now. Needless to say, preparations to march to Alcaire Castle have been called off."
Sir Hughes' Fate[]
"Killing my fellow knights to restore order was hard enough, but this matter with Sir Hughes is unthinkable. He's down in the infirmary. I'm told he was raving about killing the duchess before he fell unconscious. I-I don't know what to do."
- I'll handle it. The duke sent me here to find him. "Then I suppose you must. Whatever crimes he may be guilty of, you should know that Sir Hughes was always an honorable knight. I simply must believe that his recent actions are caused by some form of insanity."
- I'll take that into account. Where is the infirmary? "The infirmary is below the Great Hall. Speak to the healer there, Odette. Get her assessment of his condition. Again, I would plead with you—if his actions are truly driven by madness—show mercy."
- I'll do what needs to be done.
