	Dockmaster Arnauld doesn't seem to be home, but it looks like he left in a hurry. I should look for evidence that might tell us what happened here. Objective: Search Dockmaster Arnauld's House
	We found evidence that Dockmaster Arnauld was taken by the Ascendant Order. We also found a note that confirms he was paid by the Order to overlook their smuggling and salvaging operations. I should speak to Lady Arabelle. Objective: Talk to Lady Arabelle Davaux
	Lady Arabelle believes that a noble may be funding the Ascendant Order. She wants to speak with Lord Bacaro Volorus at his estate, Steadfast Manor, to see if he knows of anyone who opposed the peace talks. I should meet her there. Objective: Go to Steadfast Manor
	I met Lady Arabelle and Lord Bacaro at Steadfast Manor. It sounds like Lord Bacaro is worried about some retainers. I should talk to him and see if I can help. Objective: Talk to Lord Bacaro Volorus
	Two retainers employed by Lord Bacaro and the Society of the Steadfast are missing. With the recent attacks, the Ascendant Order might be involved. I need to look for their wagon on the road south of Steadfast Manor, between there and Castle Navire. Objective: Find the Missing Retainers
	I found the retainers' wagon. It looks like it was attacked. I should search the area and see if I can figure out what happened. Objective: Search the Area

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
