Navigating the Ceremony
Your journey begins with a ceremony commemorating the life of “Master Bellardo.” While attending, you’ll be confronted with a question: are you “Fidelio”? Whether you answer truthfully or weave a tale like belonging to the Von Valancius dynasty, the ceremony unfolds, revealing a shocking truth. Master Bellardo wasn’t who he seemed; he was once Jerrycan Denz, a notorious pirate who seemingly found redemption before his demise.
Unearthing the Mystery
The ceremony ignites three distinct quest elements:
The Inheritance
Bellardo’s entire fortune is to be inherited by a mysterious “Fidelio,” whose identity and connection to him remain shrouded in enigma. Even worse, jealousy lurks among the mourners, evident by a poisoned amasec near the body.
The Repentance
A clue emerges in the Book of Remembrance, where “Repentance – Fid” is written. Further investigation leads you to Bellardo’s home, where the word “Repentance” appears repeatedly. The Chaplain reveals a chilling connection – 12 years ago, Bellardo killed a ship captain, whose daughter sought revenge but ultimately vanished.
The Servitor
Finally, the pieces begin to fall into place. You encounter a Servitor, seemingly out of place, lacking the robotic arm common to its kind. Moreover, it doesn’t work in the area. Interrogation reveals its violent nature, further fueling the mystery.
Unmasking the Fidelio
Through careful examination and insightful dialogue with the Chaplain, you unveil the truth: the Servitor is the Fidelio. Commissioned by Bellardo 12 years ago, it retained its awareness and memory, serving as a constant reminder of his past misdeed. This discovery significantly impacts your decision regarding the inheritance.
A Pirate’s Legacy
The ceremony takes an unexpected turn, becoming a battleground for Bellardo’s inheritance. His son, Kas Bellardo, and First Mate Daggen believe they are rightful heirs. However, during your investigation, you stumble upon Adelia Bellardo, his hidden granddaughter.
The choice of who inherits the fortune lies solely in your hands. Will you uphold Bellardo’s wishes and grant it to the mysterious Fidelio (the Servitor)? Will you honor his lineage and give it to Kas or Daggen? Or will you offer a chance at a better life to Adelia?
As the ceremony concludes, the “Underworld” quest draws to a close. You’ve navigated a captivating mystery, unraveled hidden truths, and ultimately determined the fate of Bellardo’s legacy. Now, the journey continues, carrying the weight of your choices as you forge your own path in the treacherous world of Warhammer 40K.
