A Call to War - side quest walkthrough | Cliff's Edge Torment: Tides of Numenera Guide

Unlocked by: Talking with Clarion in the Fifth Eye Tavern in the Cliff's Edge district (M10.1).

You must speak to the five veterans in the inn and convince them to participate in the eternal war.

Clarion (M10.1) will ask you to help in recruiting five war veterans for the eternal war. All five can be found in the inn. These are:

• Dhama of the Bloom - You must help him in the side mission Eyes of the Adversary. He will then answer the call to war without hesitation.
• Theboros - He will not be willing to discuss this topic until you help Dhama of the Bloom in the side quest Eyes of the Adversary. Theboros has a problem. Words of Qra are engraved in his mind, leaving him restless. When he asks you for advice, you can tell him to end himself (no bonuses, 3EXP) or you can use persuasion to convince him to close the Words of Qra in his mind (4EXP, the man will survive). If you select the second option, the man will agree to participate in the eternal war (however, Intimidation will be needed as well.
• Leto - You can convince him by using Persuasion, but only after you have completed the side mission Eyes of the Adversary for Dhama of the Bloom. You will receive a proposition to take over the character's gift of precognition. Mysterious words will be written in your mind and Leto will promise you that you will remember these words when facing betrayal. If he joins the war, you won't learn these words.
• Feriok and Ziobe will refuse and you won't be able to convince them (nonetheless, you must talk to them in order to be able to give a report to Clarion later on).

Once you're done with all of them, speak with Clarion. If you recruit all three, you will receive 80 shins and an oddity - Lord's Cup. The recruited ones will leave the inn and the mission will end successfully, awarding you with 40EXP.
