In Detail
To raise faction with "Castle Tamrel", you can do four things:
1) Kill Tallon Zek's forces out in the Field of Strife for the following faction hits (results in +1 faction point gain):
- Soldiers of Tallon
+ Castle Tamrel
2) Kill Tallon Zek's forces inside Castle Rulnavis for the following faction hits (results in +1 faction point gain):
- Inhabitants of Rulnavis
+ Castle Tamrel
3) Loot "Tallon Soldier Insignia" from Tallon Zek's forces in the Field of Strife (reportedly no drops in the castle) area and turn them in to Sergeant Rekkles (click for map image) in Castle Tamrel for the following faction hit (results in +10 faction point gain):
+ Castle Tamrel
NOTE: This Insignia turn-in requires dubious faction.
4) Loot "Tallon Captain Insignia" from Tallon Zek's forces in the Field of Strife (reportedly no drops in the castle) and turn them in to First Lieutenant Ess Pekky (click for map image) in Castle Tamrel for the following faction hit (results in +10 faction point gain):
+ Castle Tamrel
NOTE: This Insignia turn-in requires indifferent faction.
Note that "Tallon Captain Insignia" seems to drop from from the wrong mobs. (They currently drop from "a Gindan _____" when Tallon Zek's forces are actually the Hendin mobs on the opposite side.)
At Threatening
Neither turn-in NPC accepts insignias for faction turn-ins at "threatening".
When you first speak with Sergeant Rekkles (click for map image), at the default "threatening" faction level:
You say, 'Hail, Sergeant Rekkles'
Sergeant Rekkles swings his sword at you and shouts, 'Run away, wipe!'
If you try to turn in a "Tallon Soldier Insignia" to Sergeant Rekkles at "threatening", you see:
Sergeant Rekkles knocks the insignias out of your hand and roars, 'You stole dose from our troops, whelp!'
If you try to turn in a "Tallon Captain Insignia" to Sergeant Rekkles, you see:
Sergeant Rekkles says 'Take dis to First Lieutenant Ess Pekky. She in charge of dese.'
When you first speak with First Lieutenant Ess Pekky (click for map image) at "threatening", you see:
You say, 'Hail, First Lieutenant Ess Pekky'
First Lieutenant Ess Pekky says 'Don't talk to me, spy!'
If you try to turn in a "Tallon Soldier Insignia" to First Lieutenant Ess Pekky, you see:
First Lieutenant Ess Pekky says 'Take to Sergeant Rekkles. He take care of small bounty.'
If you try to turn in a "Tallon Captain Insignia" to First Lieutenant Ess Pekky at "threatening", you see:
First Lieutenant Ess Pekky grunts, 'You found that. Never heard of you.'
Your faction with this NPC is now _____.
The number you see in the second line is your current faction standing; you will need a total of 2,000 points to raise it from "threatening" to "ally" (-800 to +1200).
At Dubious
You can hand in "Tallon Soldier Insignia" to Sergeant Rekkles at dubious faction (-499). Each of these gives +10 faction points.
If you hail Sergeant Rekkles at dubious, you see:
Sergeant Rekkles grunts and looks you over. After awhile he says, 'You got bloods on ya. Dat good. Not sure it Tallon troop blood dough. Bring me deir shinies and maybe I not gut you.'
Upon turning in a "Tallon Soldier Insignia", you see:
Sergeant Rekkles says 'Good work, whelp. Keep it up.'
If you hail First Lieutenant Ess Pekky at dubious, you see:
First Lieutenant Ess Pekky looks down at you and says, 'I don't trust. You prove strength my sergeant. Then come talk me.'
(She requires indifferent standing.)
At Indifferent
If you hail Sergeant Rekkles at indifferent faction:
Sergeant Rekkles struggles to count the insignias you've given to him, 'Thirsty, umm Thirsty four... Fixty Fix... Umm...'
Sergeant Rekkles throws the insignias over his shoulder and shouts, 'Lots of Tallons dead! Good work. You [Private] now!'
You say, 'Private?'
Sergeant Rekkles smacks your shoulder with one of his massive axes and says, 'Yes, you private in army of Vallon now. Well done! Go talk wid First Lootent Specks in da castle. But if yooz still want bring me more singia things, I still take a few more from you, but not care a lot.'
If you hail First Lieutenant Ess Pekky, you see:
First Lieutenant Ess Pekky smiles, 'Sergeant Rekkles say you strong. You look strong me. Bring Tallon captain shinies. Then we be friends.'
Upon handing in Tallon Captain Insignia:
First Lieutenant Ess Pekky says 'Big kill! _____ is big strong.'
At Kindly
Upon handing in Tallon Captain Insignia:
First Lieutenant Ess Pekky says 'You kill lots captains. Should do more now!'
Upon hailing:
First Lieutenant Ess Pekky pats you on the head and says happily, 'You strong soldier for Tamrel! You Corporal now.'
First Lieutenant Ess Pekky says 'Go speak Captain Flavis Stella. He give trials. You probably die.'
She refers to Captain Flavis Stella (click for map image), who is found on the castle's second floor.
This leads into Castle Tamrel's first quest: The Tamrel Trials.
At Ally
Once you're at ally faction, you can do a quick quest (see this quest entry for details) for a port-click item to Castle Tamrel.
Say "help" to Sergeant Rekkles to receive a Tactical Analysis, then turn in the Analysis to First Lieutenant Ess Pekky to receive the portal click item (which disappears each time you zone). |
