Baron Luca (NPC)

After completing the 'Undead End in Sight' quest:

Vampire Lord of MystReach Manor
Where are my villagers?! What has been done to my villagers?! I NEED them to keep the manor running and the kitchen fully… staffed. Hero, if you can find my sla-servents, you will get a great reward! And while you are hunting them, I have a few… other tasks you may assist me with.

After completing the 'Are You Luca'ing For Trouble?' quest (Must have Luca's Signet in inventory):

Vampire Lord of MystReach Manor
Ah, did you think a finishing blow from some Hero would destroy me? I might have turned into dust, but stronger magics protect me than any you puny mortals are aware of! The Darkness can only be defeated by the Light, and if the Light is extinguished… Ahahah! Go, Hero. Help me if you will, but if you will not, just… GO.

Head of Nyx Aeterna Clan
*sniff* You smell… like cattle! But no. I can tell you are NOT a bloodbank. I sense great skill and power inside you, Hero, and would welcome your support as I make my bid for the Vampire Throne.
Long have I ruled mortals and the vampires of my Nyx Aeterna Clan, but I see the Darkovian Vampires need a strong ruler to restore them.

Nyx Aeterna?
Once *I* am King, I shall rally the vampires and we shall destroy the Lycans of Darkovia. I cannot abide the smell of fur. But the smell of mortals… it is such a delicious stink.
If you will fight for me… GO! Destroy the minions of the Rotten One. Long have I endured his insults and his thefts.
With him gone, *I* shall rule, and none shall take what is MINE!

The Nyx Aeterna were ancient when the first cities rose up. We watched as the mortals we stalked learned how to harness their own strength and intellect to make their world a better place. We watched, and we poached. We are the hunters, the predators, the monsters your mother used to frighten you as a babe.

Those fierce enough, brave enough, to unleash the Beast within themselves master fear… and hone its edge into a weapon. It is not enough to be STRONG. It is not enough to be SKILLED. It is not enough to be FEARED. The Nyx Aeterna seek those who will LAST. Who will STAY. We are as old as the night. As deep and dark as the shadows that shroud its heart. Those who cannot join us, heart and body and soul… will never truly belong.

Bloodrun?
The Heroes of Lore believe that I am the best vampire to rule… and I am grateful to them for that! But that means we must begin… the Bloodrun! This is a trial by combat, where a 3rd party battles the champion from both sides to prove which is the stronger… and who is in the right!
