-= Becoming a citizen of Freeport =-
You've impressed the good people of Freeport enough to score an invite with one of the city officials. You are almost ready to leave the embarrassing, toddler-like existence led by those that call themselves Qeynosians. Time to make your way to Freeport.

Matthias Siegemaker can be found in the back room of the Temple of War in North Freeport. Go give him a hail.

You say, "Hail, Matthias Siegemaker"
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"You have toiled for quite some time to earn the right to enter Freeport. You may have proven yourself to many of these weaklings, but I suspect you do not quite understand the ways of Freeport. There is more to being a Freeportian than bounties and sabotage. Now is the time for you to learn that lesson."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"Who are you to challenge my loyalty?!"
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"Who am I, you insolent little mite? I am the one tasked with testing the hearts of you worthless Qeynosian traitors. This has been my assignment since before you even saw your first drop of blood, child. The task of wasting my time on you weaklings was given to me by Grand Inquisitor Te'Lex himself. I suggest you learn your place and address me with respect."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"I'll take that under advisement. What do you want from me?"
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"Your task is a simple one. One of our agents recently killed a foolish barbarian attempting to infiltrate Freeport. This barbarian owned a trained fighting dog, which nearly killed our agent. Luckily, he was able to subdue the dog and we have been attempting to break it ever since."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"Go on."
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"No man or woman of Freeport has been able to even get near the beast. It is my conclusion that the dog can somehow recognize those of Freeport as enemies. As you are not from Freeport there may be a chance that you can break and train this dog."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"What is the point? It's just a dog."
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"The point, my young foolish defector, is the beast will be an incredible asset to the fighter he protects, which in this case would be you. If you can break the dog down, make him trust you, and make him obedient he will be yours."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"This sounds like more of a gift than a test. What is the catch?"
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"Ha... There is no catch, child. You are only teaching the beast what it means to be part of Freeport... Just as I am teaching you."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"I don't understand."
You receive:

Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"Oh, you will with time. Here is the whistle that will summon the dog. He has a rather foolish name, but he will not answer to any other. He has been starved for several days, so feeding him will make you his hero. Get the dog to trust you then teach him proper obedience. Return to me when the dog is truly yours."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"I will."

Free dog? This isn't such a bad town after all! End, Becoming a Citizen of Freeport

-= Learning Your Place in Freeport =-
So you've been given a dog. Sure, the dog has a decidedly unintimidating name, but hey. It was free. Who are you to complain? All you have to do is earn the dog's trust and get it to listen to your commands. Sounds easy enough. Let's get started.

In addition to issuing commands to your dog through this menu, you can also at any time check on Buddy's current trust/obedience level with you.

Gaining Buddy's Trust
From the outset you will not be able to pet Buddy. Attempts at physical interaction will result in him trying to bite you. Start off instead by feeding Buddy several times. After 5 or so feedings (wait about 20 seconds between feedings, otherwise you will just be told that Buddy isn't hungry anymore) you can try to issue the pet command and he likely won't bite at you. From this point you can mix up feeding and petting buddy. It will take several minutes, but eventually you will get a message stating, "** You have earned Buddy's trust. **" When you see this you can move on to obedience training.

Obedience Training
After being notified that you have gained Buddy's trust, "Sit" and "Play dead" commands will be added to the dog's right-click menu. When you issue one of these commands you will get one of two responses. Either Buddy will perform the trick or you will get a message stating that Buddy shies away from you. If he shies away from you simply keep re-issuing the command until he does it. When he performs the commanded trick, wait until he completes the trick (he stands back up to his normal position) before issuing another one. Every now and again you can toss in a feed or a pet command to encourage Buddy if it makes you feel better. Eventually after several minutes of constant commanding, you will get a message stating, "** Buddy is completely obedient to you. **" The funny part is that after you see this message Buddy will no longer obey any of your commands, but rather stand there like a paladin and drool at you with floaty hearts above his head whenever issue any more commands to him.

You say, "Hail, Matthias Siegemaker"
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"I see you have the dog under your control. Well done. You have taught him his place in this world."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"That dog bit me at least twenty times, but he grows on you."
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"I am glad to see the two of you... bonded. Tell me, how do you feel about this animal?"
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"He has a vicious bite and is aggressive. I look forward to taking him into battle. He will be a great asset to me."
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"I see... Now it is time to truly prove your loyalty. The Overlord offers you a life in a brave new world. In return for his selfless gift, the Overlord asks one thing of you: unwavering obedience. In the same way you own this beast, the Overlord owns you. Just as the Overlord will slay you for disobedience you must slay this beast."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"With pleasure."
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"Your eagerness is refreshing. Slay him now."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"I am ready."

Right-click on Buddy and issue the "Attack" command. You will then proceed to do an absolutely stellar impression of me when my wife gets lippy.

Alas, Buddy has died from pain and suffering.
Buddy sulks away home.
[Editor's note: Huh?!]

You say, "Hail, Matthias Siegemaker"
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"You violated your conscience so viciously that it now lies withered deep within the recesses of your heart. You have learned the true lessons of obedience and loyalty. Now it is time I ask what you have learned..."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"I have learned that embracing my feelings and acting on them is more freedom than anyone could ever offer."
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"You have learned the lesson well. You have one more assignment before you will be welcomed as a true Freeportian. Will you hear it now?"
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"Yes, what must I do?"
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"You are to infiltrate the stronghold of the leader of the Qeynosian rebels who harass our citizens with foolish propaganda and lies. This movement within Freeport is causing some unrest. This assignment comes down directly from the Grand Inquisitor who wishes to squash these, Freeportians for a Free Freeport... What a ridiculous group of swine."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"Tell me more about the mission."
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"They are hiding in a vale in Antonica. Their leader, Shay Tivati, was once a citizen of this fine city, but she defected to Qeynos and assists others in following in her footsteps. She and her network of spies are an annoying little tarnish on the golden face of Freeport. The Grand Inquisitor and the Overlord have had enough of their meddling. You goal will be to kill her."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"Consider it done."

Are you completely sick of Antonica yet? No worries. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. End, Learning Your Place in Freeport.

-= Ending the Revolution =-
A former Freeport citizen is hiding out in Antonica, assisting other people who would betray The Overlord. Your job is to put an end to this treasonist.

Travel to Antonica. Just north of Stormhold lies a small path that leads to an instance entrance. If options are presented to you when you attempt to zone in, the version of the instance that you want for our purposes here is called 'Squire's Vale'. Select it and zone in.

After you zone into the Vale, make your way up the path to the clearing. You will see several named squires hanging around the area. You can kill them if you are so inclined, but it is unneccesary. Your target is Shay Tivati. You will find Shay hanging out in the middle of the druid ring in the center of the zone. Approach her to initiate a combat ring event.

Encounter: Shay Tivati
Shay is a druid-class combatant who will use the powers of nature and the elements to defend herself. When you defeat her she will become unattackable and summon an elemental avatar to fight for her. After her creation is defeated she will attack you again with renewed health and abilities.

Combat ring sequence, in order:

• Shay Tivati, Round 1
• Earth Elemental
  "I call upon the Earth to bury you!"
• Shay Tivati, Round 2
• Air Elemental
  "I summon the air to choke you!"
• Shay Tivati, Round 3
• Fire Elemental
  "I call on fire to engulf you!"
• Shay Tivati, Round 4
• Water Elemental
  "I conjure water to drown you!"

Job completed, return to Freeport and report your deed to Matthias Siegemaker.

You caught her just before she was going to defect to Hyrule. End, Ending the Revolution.

-= Acceptance =-
Having killed the traitor you head back to Freeport. You have completed all of the requirements to become a full citizen of Freeport. Now it's just a matter of getting some red tape out of the way.

You say, "Hail, Matthias Siegemaker"
Matthias Siegemaker says to you,"The news of Shay Tivati's death has spread quickly through Qeynos, our spies reported it immediately. I congratulate you. You are now ready to become a citizen of Freeport. Meet with your appropriate trainer to finally finish this. Again, congratulations."
You say to Matthias Siegemaker,"I have nothing to left to do. I am ready to become a citizen."

You will at this point be instructed to report to the class trainer for the class that you will become now that you have completed the requisite steps to become a full citizen of Freeport.
