I cannot guarantee they will accept it, but on the off-chance they do, I will stand by it.THE POWER OF PERSUASION How WeвЂ™re Bought and SoldД¬opyright В© 2003 by Robert V. Convincing the Lord Д®h? I'm not sure I heard you right. But you obviously don't want to hear about it. And it is poor honest folk like us who have to bear the real burden. The nobles fight their wars for their greed and their dreams of glory. It is your duty to help the nobles in their war effort. If there is a man who can manage to do this, it is you. I can not do this Don't say no right away. Convince (Lord #1) and (Lord #2) to accept a peace settlement, and if either of them proves too stubborn, make sure he falls captive and can not be ransomed until a peace deal is settled.ДЄll right. We will be happy to reward you with that sum, if you can work this out. I think we can collect 12000 denars between ourselves. (Same Result) Most of the merchants in the town will gladly open up their purses to support such a plan. If they are captive, they will lose their influence and they can no longer oppose a settlement. And even if that fails, it can be possible to see that these lords are defeated by force and taken prisoner. A particularly determined person can perhaps persuade one or both of these lords to accept making peace. (Same Result) There is a way to resolve the issue. What can be done about this? (Same Result) Alas, it seems nothing can be done about it. Until they change their mind or lose their influence, there will be no chance of having peace between the two sides. Who are these warmongers who block the way of peace? (Same Result) Who are these lords you speak of? (Same Result) They are (Lord #1) from (faction #1) and (Lord #2) from (faction #2).

While these leaders remain influential, no peace settlement can be reached. These men urge all others not to heed to the word of sensible men, but to keep fighting. However, there are powerful lords on both sides whose interests lie in continuing the war. But who can stop this madness called war? There have been attempts to reconcile the two sides and reach a settlement. If peace does not come soon, we can not hold on for much longer. And as if those aren't enough, the taxes to maintain the war take away the last bits of our savings. Our merchants are afraid to leave the safety of the town walls. Our caravans get raided before they can reach their destination. This war between (faction #1) and (faction #2) has brought our town to the verge of ruin. This quest requires 100 days to pass before it can become available again. If you choose to decline the reward, you will receive +3 additional relation instead. The reward for completing this quest is quite a bit higher than any of the other quests: 4000 experience and 12,000 denars, a +5 improvement in your relation with the town, and a small increase in renown. Keep in mind that if bribery is used, the reward money does not increase to make up for your expenses. The one you speak to first seems to be the one who requires the higher sum.

Bribery is guaranteed success, which costs 7000 for the initial lord, and 1500 for the latter one. Capturing a lord is very difficult, as they will usually escape when defeated. This can be achieved either through bribery (with the possibility of using persuasion to affect the price), using your good relation with the lord to force them to accept, or by capturing them. To complete this quest, you must convince the named lords from both warring factions to accept a peace treaty. You will be asked to stop the war between the Guild Master's faction and another faction within 30 days. The Guild Master's faction has to be at war for this quest to be available. This is a quest given by the Guild Master in towns.
