I chose to become a dog of the military in order to get my body back.

Everything beyond that fence is owned by the army, so you'll die if you stray from the path!

Redanian army force you to come here, too? Or you just down here for a pleasant stroll?

Go and watch the south road. Come find us if you see any Imperial soldiers coming.

I've never liked having the rebels right on Solitude's doorstep. Retaking Hjaalmarch would help secure our supply lines...

Jarl Balgruuf still hasn't declared for one side or the other, so at least you won't run into any Imperials along the way.

Legion soldiers gleam like fresh-fallen snow and clank like a kitchen. They head this way, we'll know it.

Nilfgaard's crossed the Pontar in the east. Puts them maybe a week's march from Kaer Morhen. If they reach the valley before snows can cover the passes… well, we need to cover our tracks, hide our paths.
