As you should have discovered by now that Lady Orianna is a close friend of Regis and shares his affection for blood, she is the perfect person to ask the location of the Unseen Elder. Leave the palace, battling through the city streets, dodging the mass of fleeing peasantry as you cross the bridge, heading right (south) into a town square to make short work of any Lesser Vampires prowling the townsfolk. Continue down the thoroughfares, cross the market square, and hightail it to Lady Orianna’s Estate (further vampiric incursions are likely to slow your progress). Just before you reach the doors of Orianna’s residence, you can spy the body of Guillaume, who perished fighting in the city, if you didn’t help him and Vivienne yet. Poor, foolish lad.
Upon entering the Mandragora residence, you spy Madame Orianna attempting to leave. She finds the current conditions in the city a little “irritating.” Call her on this comment if you wish, before asking about the Unseen Elder. She tells you there are simpler ways to commit suicide. She eventually agrees to your request. But only after you’ve tended to a certain matter for her. Answer her as you wish; there’s a quid pro quo before you can go to the Unseen’s lair. This involves you helping Orianna at the orphanage she owns. This quest pauses, and Main Quest: Blood Simple (see below) begins.
