Quest-Related Events[edit]

During the quest, it is revealed that he fell in love with Claudie Themond, who he intended to marry. You will see him in three visions shown to you throughout the ruins of Baelborne Rock. Searching through the rubble to the east will net you Claudie's Journal. A vision will appear once you take it.

Claudie Themond: "Hand in hand, we snuck through the gardens and sat on a bench beneath the moon. The way he looked at me sent shivers down my spine."
Claudie Themond: "Our love is forbidden. Still, we care for each other deeply. He plans to tell his parents of our love soon."
Maurice Baelborne: "I've returned, my love. I missed you so much"

The second vision is triggered by heading up the stairs just west of that memory and digging through the rubble there for the Broken Necklace.

Claudie Themond: "Maurice … what is this? It's beautiful."
Maurice Baelborne: "My mother's necklace. She gave it to me. Told me to give it to the woman who would … who would become my wife."
Claudie Themond: "Is this … is this what I think it means? Oh, Maurice! This is the happiest day of my life."

Head up the stairs to the southwest and dig through the rubble there to find a Bloodstained Tunic and trigger the third memory. Claudie is being confronted by Lady Baelborne, who is holding an axe. Maurice stands behind her.

Claudie Themond: "I didn't steal your necklace, my lady! I swear to you. Your son gave it to me. Maurice, please tell her!"
Lady Baelborne: "Silence! My son would never give my necklace to a lowly serving girl. I don't know which is worse, your lies or your thieving fingers."
Claudie Themond: "Maurice! Please! Tell her of our love. The time we've spent together. Why won't you say anything?"
Maurice Baelborne: "I'm sure she didn't mean to steal it. She's been working awfully hard. Perhaps exhaustion …."
Lady Baelborne: "Enough! I'll hear no more excuses. Punish her with the whip and then lock her in the tower."
