**INCLUDES CUT CONTENT** >[!quote]+ *Be proud. You were a fine warrior. Your only mistake was your choice of master. Let the winds lift you, to a higher place.* >[!quote]+ *Well, who do we have here? [[Tarnished]], are you? Clearly not one of [[Godrick the Grafted|Godrick's]] lot. I am [[Nepheli Loux]]. Tarnished and warrior, like you. I'm here by decree of [[Gideon|my father]]. How utterly repellant this is. This "[[grafting]]" of Godrick's ill befits a [[Lord]]. He's tainted the very winds.* >[!quote]+ *If you intend to challenge [[Godrick]], I ask you call upon me. The winds run foul with his deeds. I'm certain [[gideon|father]] would permit me aid the fight.* >[!quote]+ *Apologies, but I've idled long enough. As fellow [[Tarnished]] we must each follow our own guidance. Down whatever road takes us to the throne of [[Elden Lord]].* >[!quote]+ *You again... I thought you'd receive a summons to the [[Roundtable Hold|Roundtable]]. [[Nepheli Loux]]. We met at [[Stormveil Castle|Stormveil]]. I'm glad to see you here. I have something for you. I found it in [[Godrick the Grafted|Godrick's]] [[grafting]] grounds. You defeated him. You should have it. Make good use of it. I don't intend to make a habit of scavenging corpses. >[!quote]+ *You again... I thought you'd receive a summons to the [[Roundtable Hold|Roundtable]]. [[Nepheli Loux]]. We met at [[Stormveil Castle|Stormveil]]. I'm glad to see you here. I have something for you. I found it in [[Godrick the Grafted|Godrick's]] [[grafting]] grounds. You were the one to defeat him, I would hazard? Make good use of it. I don't intend to make a habit of scavenging corpses.** >[!quote]+ *Ah, yes. I wonder if you've met [[Gideon|my foster father]]? He's in his study. The room [[Ensha|Ensha's]] guarding just over there. If you haven't already, I advise you introduce yourself. Father is leader of the [[Roundtable Hold|Roundtable]]. I'm sure talking to him will be worth your while.* >[!quote]+ *It's about time I headed off. I'll see you again, warrior, should the [[fate|fates]] deign it.* >[!quote]+ *You again... You received a summons to the [[Roundtable Hold|Roundtable]]? [[Nepheli Loux]]. We met at [[Stormveil Castle|Stormveil]]. The pleasure's mine, as a fellow [[Tarnished]], [[grace|guided by grace]] to the Roundtable Hold.* >[!quote]+ *Oh, hello. I've not seen you here before. I am [[Nepheli Loux]]. Warrior. Here by decree of [[Gideon|my father]]. The pleasure's mine, as a fellow [[Tarnished]], [[grace|guided by grace]] to the [[Roundtable Hold]].* >[!quote]+ *Is that some kind of medicine? One that affects the heart, I'd wager. If it's what I think, I have no need of it. I am a warrior. I need no external aid. Not to brave the horrors of battle. Nor to bolster my resolve.* >[!quote]+ *Oh, it's you... Well, what do you make of it? What's happened to [[Albinauric Village|this village]]? I witnessed a sight much the same, in my infancy. The oppression of the weak. Murder and pillage unchecked. A waking nightmare, made by men.* >[!quote]+ *But this time, I'm a woman grown. And though the suffering cannot be undone, I can still mete out justice. Justice to the oppressors. Let the scars I carve remind them. I am [[Nepheli Loux]]. Warrior.* >[!quote]+ *Ah, you... Please, leave me be. It's pathetic, I know, but I...need to think.* >[!quote]+ *...So you know already, do you? Right. It's true. [[Gideon|My father]] cast me out. For indulging my emotions. Forgetting the mission. Punishment for offing his pawns. Father...rather, Lord Gideon has offered me guidance all my life. I would have done anything for him, to place him on the throne of [[Elden Lord]]. And yet I... Though it was not my intent... I betrayed him...* >[!quote]+ *I...can no longer trust in [[Gideon|father]]... To think he'd order his men to enact such tragedy... Where is the justice he purports, in that? He once told me that if he became [[Elden Lord]], he would never allow the downtrodden to be cheated ever again. Was he simply lying to me?* >[!quote]+ *No, no, no... How could I say that? [[Father]] has always given me his guidance... And now...I've lost it... ...* >[!quote]+ *Medicine, is it? Fine. I'll take a dose. Perhaps it'll do me some good. ... It's very sweet...isn't it... And very...very... ...* >[!quote]+ *Is that ash? I can smell the ancient storm in it... My thanks. I'll gladly take it.* >[!quote]+ *I'm...not like [[Roderika]]. I don't feel the presence of spirits, let alone see them. Still, this ash.. It reminds me of my first hawk. Thank you.* >[!quote]+ *In this ash, I can smell the ancient storm. It reminds me of my first hawk.* >[!quote]+ *It's been some time. I must thank you, for your aid. I told [[Gideon|father]] I would be with him no longer. I remembered the [[vow]] I took when I first became a warrior, so many moons ago. This land is much like the one from which I hail. I will call upon the storm, to drive away the foulness that has settled on the winds.* >[!quote]+ *Again, I am [[Nepheli Loux]]. Warrior. Some call me by the title of [[Lady]], but I remain the same woman underneath. Though I have now abandoned my former guidance. I cannot express how much you've helped me. Should you become [[Elden Lord]]. I would gladly lighten your burden.* >[!quote]+ *Farewell, fellow warrior. I will remain, to summon the storm. But your guidance, and your fight... Surely lie elsewhere.* >[!quote]+ *I will remain, to summon the storm. But your guidance, and your fight... Surely lie elsewhere.* >[!quote]+ *What do you intend? Such conduct ill befits a warrior.* >[!quote]+ *I see. You are but a simple villain. Let the scars remind you; this lesson comes from Nepheli Loux!* >[!quote]+ *You wouldn't even register as a threat to [[Gideon|father]]. Hurry up and die.* >[!quote]+ *[[Gideon|Father]]... I am slain. Please...become [[Elden Lord]]...* #source #dialogue #nepheli_loux
