Quest-Related Events[edit]

If you start the quest through her directly:

"Mara bless you, child. Tread with care. We're from the Chapel in Bravil, north over the border. A gang of bandits broke in and stole our holiest relics. It's not safe here."
What did they steal? (Leads to quest dialogue)

Otherwise her guards Rafora Casca and Crispinus Platorius will send you to her way. Speak with Marcella.

"Mara bless you, child. Did one of my temple guards send you this way?"
Yes, they said you could use some help. What did the bandits steal?
"The thieves went straight to the reliquary. They took the chalice, and a number of other relics. The relics have little monetary values, but we know the Chalice of Mara has divine mystical properties. I suspect they had help."
What do you want me to do?
"We tracked them here, and several of the chapel guardians went in to retrieve the relics. But … they haven't come back. Would you be willing to venture into the ruin and see if you can find our stolen relics?"
I'll see what I can do.

She can be asked further questions:

"The Goddess watch over and keep you in your search. You seek four of Mara's treasures: a circlet, a dagger, a phylactery, and … of course … the chalice."
Can I ask you a few questions?
"Of course, child. Mara teaches that knowledge is the water used to grow a strong and healthy mind. What would you like to know?"
Can you tell me more about the relics I'm looking for?
"All of the relics are sacred to the Goddess of Love, though the Chalice of Mara is the most holy. It's said the Lady sent it to be used at the Wedding of Saint Alessia!"
How many chapel guardians did you send into the ruins?
"Four of them. Eliana, Decanus, Veranus, and Talania. None of them have come back and I fear for their lives. If you can help them, in Mara's name, please do."
Do you know anything about this place or the bandits?
"Very little, to be honest. This place was once an Imperial stronghold called Fort Sphinxmoth."

Collect the relics and return to her at the camp:

"Mara be praised, you've returned! Did you find the relics?"
I have recovered all of the relics.
"Truly, your coming was a gift from Mara herself! To confess the truth, I feared I'd sent you to your death. My faith was being tested. I see that now. Thank you, and go with the love of Mara."

If spoken to again:

"Mara be praised! We truly cannot thank you enough for the return of these relics. Walk with Her blessing, feel Her smile on your face, and know always She will be with you."
