## Walkthrough

* The quest begins with Linzi Brought an Invitation event, starting with first objective if you agree to participate in the tournament or third objective if you decline. You do not need to complete other Linzi's quests to start this one.

### Take Linzi to the Rushlight Tournament

* Go to Rushlight Fields with Linzi.
* Talk to Atalia Gitaren, then talk to Annamede Belavarah. Do so before starting Boasting contest of The Rushlight Tournament quest.

### Talk to Eobald the Insightful

* Upon entering Throne Room you get a dialogue with Eobald the Insightful.
* You can either
	1. Support Eobald's decision to gloss over some truth: (Lawful Good), (Neutral), (Lawful Evil)
	2. Support Linzi to reveal all the truth: (Chaotic Good), (Lawful Neutral), (Chaotic Neutral)
		+ You also get an opportunity to kick out Eobald.
* If Alondi was forgiven during Turncoats, Linzi will kick him out now.

### Wait for work on the book to finish

* This objective will start 30 days after beginning of the quest, even if you didn't visit the Rushlight Fields.
* Progress War of the River Kings until you get an event of Pitaxian envoy's visit.
* Linzi will give you "The Academy of Infamy" (Truth) or "The Great Patron" (Gloss).

### Learn what effect the book had on the Pitaxian citizenry

* (Optional) Bring Linzi to Atalia Gitaren.
	+ You do not need Linzi during the final events of War of the River Kings, she will come herself when needed for the quest.
* After defeating Castruccio Irovetti you will be met by Eobald the Insightful upon exiting the Palace.
* You will be ported to Academy part of the Pitax (City) where you will meet rioters and Linzi (if she wasn't with you).
* You will get to decide what to do with Academy of Grand Arts:
	1. Keep it: (Lawful Good), (Lawful Neutral), (Chaotic Evil) choices; and also (Chaotic Good) if you supported Eobald's decision.
	2. Burn it: (Neutral), (Chaotic Neutral) choices.
		+ **Warning:** If you burn down the Academy, then you won't be able to assign a headmaster and won't get associated kingdom buff during Pitax Aftermath event.
* After choice is made Linzi will talk with you and you will have to make a choice that will affect her Ending Slides.
	+ If you glossed over some details in the book:
		1. Good: *"Don't give up — fight for your ideals! You weren't heard, it happens. Just write the next book so well they can't ignore you!"*
		2. Chaotic: *"If the book was a mistake, then fix it — don't just give up! You can't change people, and you don't have to. Just give them the truth — they'll know what to do with it!"*
		3. Bad: *"You must really think highly of your books. You think this attack wouldn't have happened without you? A bard's job is to entertain their audience — don't take responsibility for someone else's deeds."*
	+ If you wrote the whole truth:
		1. Good: *"You made a mistake, and people suffered due to your lack of responsibility. Remember this lesson, and make sure it never happens again."*
		2. Chaotic: *"Don't give up! You did the right thing. You're a bard — your calling is to tell the truth!"*
		3. Bad: *"You must really think highly of your books. You think this attack wouldn't have happened without you? A bard's job is to entertain their audience — don't take responsibility for someone else's deeds."*
* Regardless what you choose Linzi will get permanent buff Bard's Calling (Linzi gains a +2 inherent bonus to Charisma, and can use bardic performance for 8 additional rounds per day.)
