Before she can evacuate the people, she’ll ask if you can help quell the unrest among some of her people. Read on to find out which choices you should select for each situation to get the best outcome.

Ser Menella will ask you to settle the disputes around Bakbattahl before they evacuate.

Civil Unrest Quest Location

You’ll get the quest from Menella who can be found on the main path toward the Flamebearer Palace in Bakbattahl. She’ll be around the corner from the Inn, near the ominous pillar of light. As you approach her, you’ll find a couple of civilians having an argument which she interrupts. Head over to the commotion and speak to Menella who will tell you about the unrest between some citizens. Before she’ll evacuate, she wants to fix any unrest first so they don’t cause any trouble later on. Note that you should start the Hall of the First Dawn quest at the Seafloor Shrine first as that is the place they’ll be evacuating to. If you don’t do it first, you’ll need to come back after you have accepted the quest anyway to send them there, although you can still complete the quest now.

Bakbattahl Vocation Guild Dispute - Nabrah vs Scario - The Duel

The last dispute can be found outside the Vocation Guild. Scario questions Nabrah’s honor, saying she only got where she was because of her father. Nabrah will then offer Scario a duel to prove her skill and retake her honor. They’ll ask you to bear witness to the duel, which will leave you with three choices: Ask what the duel is about, agree to bear witness, decline to bear witness. You can select the first option if you’re interested in what caused this commotion, but make sure you agree to bear witness to the duel to keep them safe. All you need to do now is sit back, and enjoy the duel. When they’re finished, they’ll respect each other and the dispute will end.
