Postcard:
Dear sisters in arms - today I am writing you from Stormbuff Islands. You might wonder what I am doing there, since this zone is still way above my skill level, but you may have guessed it: as an envoy of the Order I don't question their reasons.
Tybalt and me had to smuggle minister Caudecus' daughter Demmi through Lion's Arch and take her to this very place here - and to security in our head quarters. Demmi is save now - something the poor souls that tried to hinder us can't claim.
As for my performance: I have been promoted to full agent!! Once I'm back there will be a huge party and lots of champagne! We need to celebrate!
My next job will take me to deal with Hyleks. Frogs, honestly!
Yours
the Marquise

In the Order's headquarters

The Marquise's personal story continues. This time the Order of Whispers asked her and Tybalt Leftpaw to bring de Saster to some pirates that kidnapped Demmi, Minister Caudecus' daughter and the Orders' informant.
Tybalt had arranged for the Marquise to distract the pirates while he searched for the hostage.
And what a distraction he created - a drinking competition!! As if that wasn't already enough, he also organized a pirate costume for them. Poor Marquise.
But once she had accepted her fate, the Marquise performed great! She outdrank a human, an Asura and even a Charr, winning the competition and baffling all the other pirates.
Unfortunately their disguise then was discovered and some fighting was required to free Demmi and take her back to the Order's safehouse.
Unfortunately Ihan was not there to celebrate her succes. But the Marquise met Lady Wi and, hear hear, it turned out her mentor Tybalt Leftpaw was not as experienced as he wanted her to believe. Never trust a Charr!
So, this was a level 33 Personal Story - which the Marquise soloed at level 30/31. Not bad, Ma'am ;)
It was her well kept secret but now she did not only have to tell people about having lost her ancestor's warhorn at the moot - no, it also turned out the very item is a magical artifact that is helping the Sons of Svanir, servants of Zhaitan.
With the help of Followed by Night and Eir Stegalkin Nymeria readies herself to the task of winning the warhorn back.

Rescuing kids with the Durmand Priory
Scholar Josir is trying to woo the Marquise whenever he can. He talked her into letting him and his order, the Durmand Priory, helping her rescuing the kidnapped children from the swamps. Fair enough the method they came up with worked out but the guy himself is so .. well .. boring.
Whispering with the Order of Whispers
Ihan of the Order of Whispers, on the other hand side, is all the opposite of boring. Ever since the Marquise first laid eyes on him she can barely think of anything else.
And now, take a look at this scene: It would have been so perfect - she was there, he was there, a cozy hammock was there - but apparently it was not enough. Ihan was rather interested by her other skills, incredible as it may seem.
Well - she'll show him how skilled she is and help him track the Seraph and fight along with him.
In order to make Ihan a bit jealous, she joined once again forces with the Durmand Priory to lure some information out of the ghost of Alastia Crow who admitted having corrupted Kellach the seraph - so this is why he believes he must kill Queen Jennah, since only her blood can purge the corruption in Kryta.
God save the Queen?
The Marquise would rather not put her money on the gods - she prefers to take action herself!
Jennah - "Her majesty Queen Jennah of Kryta" to you ! - is in great danger but don't despair, the Marquise will bring deSaster to everyone who dares threaten life and sanity of Kryta's regent. Logan Thackery of course will help.
This time the Marquise again chose Ihan and the Order of Whispers to be at her side.
And with this her final choice had to be taken. Admittedly it was not an unbiased one.
Josir and the Durmand Priory efficient enough but a bit boring with all their research and machinery.
Whatever the name and aim of the girl of the Vigil was - the Marquise does neither remember nor care. She does not want to meddle with belligerent bitches in heavy armor.
The Marquise did of course chose Ihan and the Order of Whispers!
You're in the Order now !
Editor's note: all personal story quests have been done 2-3 level lower than recommended and worked out just fine. I don't know whether it's the Necromancer or the story line or a combo of both but it seemed quite doable.
Ever since the Marquise defeated the monster of Shaemor things in life have seemed to go a bit down river. Her "welcome home" party, organized by boastful Faren turned into a "de Saster" when some bandits attacked. So instead of chilling out she had to dive right into business again and found out that one of the ministers was as corrupt as can be and behind all those attacks. But even ending his miserable life in a battle at court did not change things much - kids have gone missing now ....
"Always look on the bright side" (which admittedly is an odd motto for a necromancer) - she finally gets to live her secret dream of performing at the circus. She is to become a "Carny" so she can find out what the ringmaster is planning to do with the grizwhirls that apparently have to do with the disappearance of the kids. Only too willingly does she oblige and train with clwons, mimes and the lion tamer.
 She is no mere specatator of the carnival. |  Celebrating childhood dreams |
