Online:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal

Governor Fortunata ap Dugal is the Imperial ruler of Anvil. She lives a hedonistic lifestyle inside of Anvil Castle, where she even keeps lions for entertainment.

If spoken to, she will ostracize you and request aid from her court: "Edwina! Another stray animal wandered into my court. Edwina! Where is that girl? Well, what do you want?"

A Special Request
Arrive at the castle and you'll find the Pirate Queen slumped on her throne with her bard Lara-Ma and her two "pets" on either side of her; Seafoam the lion and Torvic Malon:
:''"Well, you look interesting. I'm quite certain I don't remember seeing you around the castle before. Even so, I do hope there's a good reason for this interruption."
: 
:"Ah, of course. You're one of them. I wasn't sure you'd honor my request since I refused to perform that ghoulish ritual of yours. I suppose even the Brotherhood can be bought—for the right amount of gold."
: 
::"You're just going to stand there, all dark and silent? Well, I wanted to convey my orders directly so there'd be no misunderstanding. The Order of the Hour has expanded its mandate beyond the Kvatch Cathedral. That's a threat I can't ignore."
:: 
:::"That is so annoying. Anyway, I'm sure Count Carolus is behind this. He constantly undermines my authority, damn the man! I want you to kill Commander Marcus Scipio and show the Count that the Hour can't protect him from my wrath."
::: 
::::"Perhaps you could blink once, just to let me know you understand. Oh, and one more thing. After you murder Scipio, go and tell the Count what you did. Scare the pants off him and drive home the point that the Order of the Hour can't help him."
:::: 
:::::"I do like hearing myself talk, but this is ridiculous. Ah, well. The Hour holds Castle Kvatch under lock and key. You'll need to find a way inside to get at Scipio. My Rat Master tells me the guard tower is the best route. The castellan has the key."
::::I'll kill the Commander and inform the Count when the deed is done.
:::::"The Hour has moved its most elite members into Castle Kvatch and locked the place down. You'll need to find a way inside to get at Scipio. My Rat Master tells me the guard tower might be the best route. The key can be found on the castellan."
:::Anything else?
::::"Now that you mention it, there is one more thing. After you murder Scipio, go and tell the Count what you did. Scare the pants off him and drive home the point that the Order of the Hour can't stop the inevitable."
::So who do you want me to kill?
:::"I'm sure this is all Count Carolus's doing. He constantly defies me, damn the man! Doesn't he realize the Gold Coast is better off under my control? Anyway, kill Commander Marcus Scipio. That should show the Count that the Hour can't protect him."
:You wanted to meet me?
::"I prefer to convey my orders directly, so that nothing gets lost in the translation. You know about the Order of the Hour? The religious warriors that protect the Kvatch Cathedral? They've expanded their mandate and now pose a threat I can't ignore."''

Speak to her again before leaving and she'll say:
:''"That's all, assassin. We've met, you've heard what I want you to do, and I've paid my gold. Next time I see you, I expect to hear that Commander Scipio is dead. And that Count Carolus was frightened so badly that he soiled his pantaloons."''

Complete the events in Kvatch and return to Anvil Castle.  Make your way to Fortunata's room:
:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal: ''"How in Oblivion's bleakness did you get in here? No, don't tell me. I don't really want to know your trade secrets."
:"To what do I owe the pleasure of this unexpected visit? Can I assume that my little problem has been dealt with?"
:Commander Scipio is dead and Count Carolus has been informed.
:"That's perfect. Splendid, even. I'm going to overlook the way you so rudely barged in here and offer you a drink. Join me on my balcony. I'm sure you'll appreciate the view."

The Governor will call for her wine:
:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal: "Fetch my wine, girl. You know the one. And bring something … less expensive for my friend here."

Follow her out on to the balcony:
:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal: "I miss sailing the open sea. Things were more clear out there. Kill or be killed. Take whatever you can carry. Fight to keep what's yours."
:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal: "It's the same here, I suppose. We're just less honest about it."

You hear someone approach behind you:
:Mirabelle Motierre: "Your wine, Governor."
:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal: "Mirabelle? Where's Edwina?"
:Mirabelle Motierre: "You know how clumsy Edwina can be, Governor. While she cleans up her mess, I brought your wine so you wouldn't be kept waiting."
:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal: "Initiative. I like that in a serving girl."

Fortunata takes the glass of wine Mirabelle pours her and steps to the edge of the balcony.

:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal: "Very well, then. A toast! To taking what you can and fighting to keep what's yours."
:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal: "The wine … what did you do?"
:Mirabelle Motierre: "We'll drink to your memory, Governor. And to the glory of the Night Mother."
:Governor Fortunata ap Dugal: "Mirabelle? She's one of … you?"
:Mirabelle Motierre: "Life is fleeting, Fortunata. An illusion. And in the end, everything belongs to Sithis. Tell him I said hello."''

Fortunata gasps, stumbles, and falls backwards of the balcony, landing on the rocks below.

Notes
Fortunata is the sister of Kvatch arena master Codus ap Dugal. If spoken to after her death, he will mention that they had been estranged away.
Fortunata also shares her surname with Torradan ap Dugal another pirate of the early third era. Like his predecessor, he was also based in Anvil as well as the leader of a red-themed band of pirates. There is however no obvious familial relationship between the two.
