Ever wondered what it was like to be tied to life - forever? Aidan knows.

Help him regain his honor, and you might even help him remember what it was to be human.

Fading Promises introduces Aidan, a fallen paladin of Amaunator, who has a couple problems. One of them is that he's dead. Another is that he never completed his last quest. You can't help him with the first, but he would be very grateful for your assistance with the second. Who knows? You might even give him the courage to face the judgment he has so long avoided.

The quest kicks off in the Temple District, where a woman has had a bit of a scare.

He isn't a joinable NPC, but he will appear to any party. It's up to the PC to decide how to handle his quest and the friendship he offers.

So happy to see another well-loved mod getting ready for EE! The project is nearing completion...

 

The image could stay; it's a portrait of a handmaiden of Queen Amalia of Greece and hence predates the notion of copyright somewhat.

Thank you for the info. Still, maybe it's best to move such portraits to the according portrait mods, though, since having a portrait for such a small game character is not usual in teh original game.

As she died in 1875, I guess it's OK with copyright. There is no problem to use paintings from Delacroix, de Vinci... for no commercial purpose as long as you credit them.

[jastey]

If copyright is no problem, I'll probably add the portrait back in as an optional component.
