Anomen Returns Home After his Sister's Death

Anomen Returns Home After his Sister's Death is a companion quest with Anomen Delryn during the Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn campaign.
==Acquisition==
At some point after Anomen joins the party, a servant of the Delryn family named Terl will appear and tell Anomen that his sister Moira Delryn has been murdered. More specifically this part of the quest happens after Anomen has been in your party for five days. If you are romancing Anomen, you must wait until after the lovetalk that begins with Anomen saying, "My lady...I feel most terrible about my burst of temper the previous day." After this, go to any outside area and Terl will spawn and approach the party.
== Returning Home==
Head to the Delryn Estate in the Athkatla Government and speak to Anomen's father, Lord Cor Delryn. He will tell Anomen that his sister was murdered by his rival Saerk Farrahd and he will demand that Anomen avenge her death.
After their conversation, Anomen asks Gorion's Ward to come with him to Moira's Urn where he will ask for advice (follow him with option #1). Other party members (e.g., Jaheira, Minsc, et al) might also have some advice to interject. Ultimately, the protagonist has a difficult choice to make: counsel him to seek justice through the law, or to break his vows and take revenge. The consequences of each choice are severe:
*Obey the Law: Cor will disown Anomen as his heir.
*Avenge his sister: Anomen will fail his knighthood test, but his father will approve.
#Lawful Path: Advise him to obey the law, and with correct dialog choices, Anomen can be convinced to confront his father once again so that, "He may yet be convinced to follow the lawful path." This grants the party an additional . The choices are 2, 2 and 2 as follows:
#*"Do not let these thoughts of vengeance cloud your judgement..."
#*"You are honor-bound to the vows..."
#*"...I'm not sure that I trust your father's version of events."
#*Afterward, speak to Bylanna in the Council of Six building and she will tell that there is nothing that can be done. Although Saerk will get away with murder, Anomen will have kept true to his vows and your party will gain another 7,500 XP. The player's Journal is then updated under the entry, Anomen refuses to take revenge for his sister's murder.
#Path of Revenge: To avenge, go to the second floor of the Estate of Saerk Farrahd on the Athkatla Bridge. Anomen will murder Saerk's daughter Surayah for a -2 penalty to Reputation. At the end of the battle, Saerk will be dead, but his son Yusef will have escaped. Report back to Cor and he will be pleased to start up his business again to regain his fortune. This grants the party and whatever Loot and Experience was gained from Saerk. The Journal updates under Anomen takes vengeance for his sister's murder.
#*Note: Saerk's Estate can be looted prior to Anomen returning home to decide on a path (Law or Revenge). Therefore, the only additional Loot and Experience gained would be from Saerk (), Yusef (none, as he escapes), and five House Guards (SGuard3.cre, each).
==Knighthood Test==
Ten days later after the events, sir Ryan Trawl will invite Anomen to the High Hall of the Radiant Heart in the Temple District, where it will be decided by Prelate Wessalen if Anomen has succeeded in his knighthood test. 
Enter the High Hall of the Radiant Heart in the Athkatla Temple.
*If Anomen took revenge against Saerk, he will be judged unworthy to enter the order and will be banished. He then will go insane and his alignment will change to Chaotic Neutral.
*If Anomen went to the authorities instead, he will be welcomed into the Order as a Knight, and Anomen, only, will receive , while another is split by the party. The prelate will allow sir Anomen to serve his duty in your party. His alignment will change from lawful neutral to lawful good and he will gain 4 points of wisdom.
The Journal updates under Anomen's Judgement.
Thus ends the Anomen Companion quest.
Several days following Anomen's test, the party will see Terl. If Gorion's Ward is romancing Anomen, Terl will speak. If not, Terl will not initiate dialog, nor can the party initiate dialog with Terl. Terl will still linger in the area and approach as if to speak.
==Romance Extra==
When party encounters Terl again, he brings news that the real murderer(s) of Anomen's sister, Moira, have revealed himself/themselves.
*If Anomen was advised to take the matter of his sister's death to the authorities, then Terl tells Anomen that the murderer revealed himself to be Saerk Farrahd, and that Saerk has killed Anomen's father when he tried to take revenge on his own. Anomen becomes enraged and leaves the party so as to take revenge on Saerk. Follow him within five days to save the romance. Go to the Estate of Saerk Farrahd in the Bridge District and up to the second floor. Anomen is found confronting Saerk, and he will ask why the protagonist followed him. Say, to stop him from doing this. He will then ask why he must let the murder go unanswered. Here's the tricky part: To save the romance, Gorion's Ward must choose the correct answer of the four options given. Three options will cause Anomen to kill Saerk and end the romance. The correct response is to tell him that he will become like his father if he kills Saerk. This will not calm him down completely so tell him that you love him. He will then settle down and lecture Saerk, who turns himself into the authorities. Anomen then rejoins the party.
*If Anomen was previously advised to listen to his father and take revenge on Saerk, then Terl tells Anomen that the murderer was not Saerk at all. The murderers are two of his father's disgruntled employees. However, Anomen has killed innocents and Cor disowns him. Anomen becomes furious and leaves the party to settle matters with his father once and for all. Follow him within five days to save the romance. Go to the Delryn Estate in the Government District, where Anomen is about ready to kill his father. Here's the tricky part: To save the romance, choose the correct dialogue option of the four choices given. Some options will cause Anomen to kill his father and run off thus ending the romance. A correct response is to tell Anomen that doing this will take him further down the path of evil. However, he will still not be convinced. Tell him that you love him. This will calm him down, and he will rejoin the party. If you go on the evil path and help him kill his father, you must tell him that you love him, then will talk to the guard who will be complicit to what happened and declare his loyalty to Anomen.
This ends the romance portion of the Anomen Companion quest.
