Seasons of Love

**Seasons of Love** is a side quest in Empire Wastes.

## Summary

The Tourist is introduced to the raider settlement of Ammu Nahi, led by Nephthys and her lover Seth. Nephthys, fascinated by Ancient Egypt, formed the raider gang in the American Museum of Natural History. The player will meet Nephthys, Seth, and Horus, Nephthys's older brother. The quest will involve interacting with the leaders and learning about their dynamics and goals.

## Walkthrough

Upon entering Ammu Nahi, the player is approached by a raider scout, Khufu, who informs them about the settlement's leaders and suggests meeting Nephthys first.

The player makes their way to the American Museum of Natural History, and navigates to the Ancient Egypt exhibit where Nephthys resides. Nephthys, exuding grace but with a fiery temper, welcomes the player and explains her fascination with death and the raider group's purpose.
Nephthys then expresses concerns about Seth's volatile nature and asks the player to speak with him. Seth can be found in his quarters within the Delacorte Theater.

The Delacorte Theater is an open-air theater in Central Park. The player will need to exit the museum and enter the park to find him. Once there, Seth reveals his desire for war with other raider strongholds, and how Nephthys wants to maintain control and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Seth asks the player to gather information about a rival stronghold, Lennon, located nearby.

The player investigates Lennon, gathering intelligence on their strength and vulnerabilities. This can involve interacting with informants, exploring the area, or completing tasks for Lennon's enemies. Once the player has enough information, they return to Ammu Nahi and report to Seth. He discusses his plan to weaken both Lennon and Juilliard, hoping one will eliminate the other, allowing Ammu Nahi to raid the remaining weakened force, but Nephthys intervenes, expressing her concerns about Seth's plan. She tasks the player with finding a diplomatic solution with Lennon instead of resorting to violence.

The player travels to Lennon and initiates a meeting with their leader. They engage in dialogue, negotiate, and propose a truce or alliance between Ammu Nahi and Lennon to face mutual enemies. Depending on the player's choices and negotiation skills, they can successfully establish a truce or alliance with Lennon, ensuring a peaceful resolution. They report back to Nephthys with the outcome. Else, if the player is unable or unwilling to form a peaceful resolution, they will become hostile, and to finish the quest in Ammu Nahi's side, they will need to wipe out Lennon's forces.

Nephthys expresses her gratitude and rewards the player with valuable resources and information about other areas of interest within the raider settlement.
