Exploring Avalon often involves combat or stealth, which can grow overwhelming after extended periods. For quieter moments, the game provides non-violent tasks focusing on dialogue and negotiation. One such mission, “Petition the Lord,” allows players to resolve conflicts through conversation alone.

Progressing through this questline requires navigating diplomatic challenges rather than physical ones. Below we outline the steps to initiate and conclude this narrative-driven activity.

Initiating the Petition the Lord Activity

Access to this mission becomes available upon entering Cuanacht, the game’s second major zone. Locate Morag, a disheartened innkeeper stationed near the bridge leading to Lord Yvain’s estate. Her establishment’s closure by local officials serves as the catalyst for this diplomatic endeavor. Engage with her to trigger the quest, committing you to advocate on her behalf.

Resolving the Innkeeper’s Predicament

Approach Lord Yvain’s residence across the northern bridge to discuss Morag’s situation. The nobleman explains bureaucratic resistance to reopening the inn, presenting players with critical decisions impacting the outcome:

Declining Further Assistance

Informing Morag of your inability to overturn the decision concludes the quest immediately. This straightforward resolution leaves the innkeeper dissatisfied but acknowledges the political realities of Avalon.

Negotiating Alternative Outcomes

Attempting to persuade Lord Yvain reveals deeper political layers:

• Financial Compensation Route: Emphasizing Morag’s financial hardships prompts Lord Yvain to arrange monetary support while maintaining the closure. This pragmatic solution provides temporary relief without challenging the status quo.
• Escalation Attempt: Questioning the decision’s origin traces the order to Denholm, an unyielding official. Confronting him proves futile, resulting in threats against Morag and no tangible progress.

The compensation path offers the most constructive resolution, balancing practicality with limited agency within Avalon’s power structures.
