Dialogue
:"Go on, then—kill me. At least I took a few of you traitorous bastards down before the end."
:;I'm a Knight of the Dragon. I won't kill an unarmed soldier.
:''"I saw them killing Knights of the Dragon. Then you really don't know?
:Who are you?"
:;Commander Reliana. I serve Lord Trystan.
:"Lord Trystan? The one who devised the duel?
:It won't solve anything. The duel is a trap, but not because of your lord. General Mercedene plans to betray the Orcs, the Redguards—everyone but the Bretons."
:;Explain yourself.
:"How well do you know your own king? Joile isn't fighting for peace, or for his people. He's here to conquer.
:When Orsinium falls, Hammerfell remains. But Gaiden Shinji would lead the defense, so … best to kill him off before then."
:;If this is true, I must warn Lord Trystan.
:"Find them. Warn them if you can. The things General Mercedene did when I was her captive … call me a coward, but I can't go back there.
:When you find Baloth, tell him "Your brother Rokaug says you should eat ashes." He'll know I'm alive."
:;Rokaug? I was told you were dead. I delivered the news to Baloth myself!
:"To pull Shinji here, they needed Baloth. My 'death' drew my brother in.
:Mercedene is cannier than she seems."
:"She is the instrument your king chose to enact his plan, and she takes much pleasure in it. She's a vicious woman who revels in blood and death.
:Says it's in Malacath's name. Ha."
:;Do you have any proof of this plan?
:"King Joile's assassins kill Savage Son and Diagnan alike. Look around—the proof of your king's treachery is before you.
:Mercedene received orders. They must have come from Joile. Find the orders for your proof—after you warn my brother."
:;How did you escape?
:"Just before the duel, Mercedene called for her personal forces—her "Winterborn." They left, and I escaped.
:Maybe they thought I didn't have the strength to run. Maybe they didn't care."''

If you speak to him before advancing the quest, he'll reprimand you:
:''"Why do you linger? General Mercedene's assassins already advance upon the duel.
:Warn them. Hurry!"''

After defeating Mercedene, you'll see the following scene:
:Lord Trystan :  "Stay your hand, young Orc. Too much blood was spilled this day. Enough heroes lost."
:Rokaug :  "Agreed. The duel … did you see it? Was there a victor?"
:Lord Trystan :  "I saw a willow and a graht-oak, dancing in the wind. I thought their styles vastly different, until I realized …."
:Rokaug :  ''"'Adhere to the style that defeats your opponent.' People used to claim it was Shinji's proverb. Always made Baloth crack a smile."''

Speaking to Rokaug at this point, he'll say:
:''"I swore I'd never thank a Breton—not after what your king did to my home. But when I finally go to the Ashen Forge, I'll tell Malacath a tale of the Dragon who slew the Beast.
:That's all you get."''

Speaking to him after Trystan, he'll say:
:"They called my brother the Wild Boar. No king ever tamed him, and he fought for his own reasons. 
:''But he fought here. For me … for all Orsinium. His sacrifice shouldn't be forgotten."''
