**INCLUDES CUT CONTENT** >[!quote] *Hello? Is anybody there? Someone who might be interested in rescuing the great [[Kenneth Haight]]? Servant to the true Order, and celebrated repudiator of the false! O [[Erdtree]]! Grant me succour!* >[!quote] *What are you waiting for? A kiss goodbye? My [[Fort Haight|fort]] lies to the south, beyond the [[Mistwood]]. Take it back for me. Oh I see. You wish to know the reward? Fret not, the great [[Kenneth Haight]] is known for his considerable largesse. The celebrations will be lavish indeed, upon the dawn of my fort's retrieval.* >[!quote] *Hmph, yes, now allow me to furnish you with a little advice. I would take great care to avoid [[Godrick the Grafted|Godrick's]] [[Tarnished]] hunts, were I in your shoes. That depraved lot are obsessed with sacrificing Tarnished like you for the sake of "[[grafting]]". Honestly, Godrick's nothing more than a jumped up country bumpkin. [[Lord]]? Don't make me laugh. First he hid himself amongst the womenfolk to flee [[Leyndell|the capital]], then hid from [[Radahn]] in [[Stormveil Castle|that castle]]... Then he insulted [[Malenia]], lost to her in battle, only to lick her boots rather than die like a man. Has he no shame, the big girl's blouse? And to think, he's the blood of [[Godfrey]]! Last of [[Golden Lineage|the golden lineage]], though you almost wouldn't know it to look at him. I almost feel sorry for the chap the more I think of it.* >[!quote] *What are you waiting for? A kiss goodbye? [[Fort Haight|My fort]] lies to the south, beyond the [[Mistwood]]. Take it back for me.* >[!quote] *Ah, you've come to lend me your aid, have you? Well, that's very kind, but, um... No, no. Th-the help is very much appreciated. Even from a [[Tarnished]]. Despite appearances, nobility is no prerequisite to serving the true Order. You might have heard of me. Kenneth Haight. Next in line as the rightful ruler of [[Limgrave]]. Young Tarnished, I would have a boon of you. I want you to take back my [[Fort Haight|fort]]. It lies to the south, beyond the [[Mistwood]]. A [[Godrick Knight|Knight commander]] from [[Stormveil Castle|Stormveil]] took it. A fool, and plumb mad to boot. Simply obsessed with blood!* >[!quote] *Hm? What's this, kind sir? Hm? What's this, fair lady? Remarkable! The [[Godrick Knight|Knight Commander]], dead. Already! A blessing, if ever I chanced upon one. Fine work, I say, fine work, indeed. I doubt that it was your intention, but the deed is done, and I commend you. Now, this is your reward. Go on, it is yours, for the keeping.* >[!quote] *Ah-ha! I've been waiting for you with baited breath! Did you manage to recapture my [[Fort Haight|fort]]? Oh excellent news, just wonderful. And [[Godrick Knight|the knight's]] dead to boot! Well done my friend, well done indeed! I knew I was right to trust you! Now, here's your reward, as promised. Go ahead, it's all yours.* >[!quote] *Right then. Time for me to head to the [[Fort Haight|fort]]. I've much to do. First I'll have to reestablish communication with the [[demi-humans]]. What's that look? You don't believe me? Well, under the [[Erdtree]], commingling with the demi-humans is made possible. Even the vulgar shall not be left behind, under the rule of true Order. Which is why I, [[Kenneth Haight]], next in line as the rightful ruler of [[Limgrave]], have sworn to uphold it. Just you watch, my friend. Just you watch.* >[!quote] *Ah, yes. I've been meaning to ask. Would you like to enter my service? I see bright things in your future, stout warrior. Enter into my service and learn the workings of the [[Erdtree|Erdtree's]] true Order. And who knows, perhaps some time down the line, the [[Grace|grace of gold]] will return to those [[Tarnished]] eyes of yours. What say you? A fine accord, is it not?* >[!quote] *Very well. Very well, indeed. I knew I saw something in you. I shall await you at [[fort haight|my fort]]. We shall hold the ceremony for your knighting there, I think. I see great things ahead of us. We are truly by the [[Erdtree]] blessed.* >[!quote] *Excuse me? Such foolishness have I never seen! Well...not that I can't sympathise with your choice. Such a miraculous manifestation of felicity is like to startle one such as yourself. Should you change your mind, do visit me at my [[Fort Haight|fort]].* >[!quote] *What is it? Have you put your misgivings to rest?* >[!quote] *Well...not that I can't sympathise with your choice. Such a miraculous manifestation of felicity is like to startle one such as yourself. Oh don't fret, there's no hurry. Should you change your mind, do visit me at my fort.* >[!quote] *Why... Why the queen... Now all hope is... (dies)* >[!quote] *Ah, you, is it? I suppose you must have seen it by now, yes, the sorry state of [[Fort Haight|my fort]]? Oh, indeed, it is a foul fate for a land, to be without a ruler. One must be found, with haste. And not that awful [[Video - Godrick the Golden's Heroic Concept (Ratatoskr)|Godrick]]. But a true and stalwart [[Lord]] of the proper lineage to take the reigns of [[Limgrave]].* >[!quote] *I am sorry to have lifted your hopes... But I haven't the authority to raise you to knighthood as things stand. The great [[Kenneth Haight]] issues his sincerest apology. But now, I must begin my search post-haste. For a true and stalwart [[Lord]] of the proper lineage to take the reigns of [[Limgrave]].* >[!quote] *I must begin my search post-haste. For a true and stalwart [[Lord]] of the proper lineage to take the reigns of [[Limgrave]].* >[!quote] *Ah, nice to see you after so long. Safe and sound, I take it, yes? Good. Ah, quite. I have indeed selected a new ruler. [[Nepheli Loux|Lady Nepheli]] is strong and just. Worthy of the burden of [[Limgrave|Limgrave's]] lineage. Such is the sincere opinion of I, [[Kenneth Haight]], no less. For the time being, I share command of the [[Stormveil Castle|castle]] with my Lady, but I plan on returning to [[Kenneth Haight|my fort]] afterwards. At which time I can fulfil my old promise. By raising you to the glory of knighthood. I hope it is just as wonderful as you imagine.* >[!quote] *For the time being, I share command of [[Stormveil Castle|the castle]] with my [[Lady]], but I plan on returning to [[Stormveil Castle|my fort]] afterwards.

Calm yourself, this instant! Enough! This is madness!* >[!quote] *Blast! You wretched [[Tarnished]]! I am [[Kenneth Haight]], and I have seen quite enough!* >[!quote] *The madness leaves nothing untouched. I fear for the integrity of the Order...* >[!quote] *Where are my...men...? O [[Erdtree]], why have you forsaken me...?* #source #dialogue #kenneth_haight #limgrave
