Housekeeper Milibeth

Lore

Milibeth is a housemaid who lives with the three old Firekeepers in Things Betwixt. Milibeth cares for the elderly sisters and handles the chores and housework, a role fulfilled by many generations of her maternal ancestors before her.

Milibeth is a handmaid to the retired Fire Keepers and housekeeper living in Things Betwixt. She is there to look after the retired Fire Keepers; Strowen, Morrel and Griant. She inherited this role, as it is what her mother did and her mother before her, and so on. If the player manages to kill the two Ogres down by the beach in Things Betwixt, she will reward them with the Handmaid’s Ladle, which is an ordinary kitchen ladle (reflecting her role). She appears to have ventured out of Things Betwixt as she will comment that Drangleic is a lost decayed kingdom, beset by hollows and that the fire shows signs of fading. It is interesting to note that like Drummond, Milibeth shows absolute fealty to the kingdom of Drangleic in inheriting the role that her ancestors have played before her.

It is likely that long ago in Drangleic's history (perhaps when the Emerald Herald was created), the Fire Keepers were retired and relieved of their duties, most probably by Vendrick or Aldia. At this time Milibeth's ancestor would have been given the role as caregiver to these retired Fire Keepers, which reflects the respect and honor given to them in their retirement. It is most probable that these Fire Keepers retired when the Emerald Herald took on the role of Fire Keeper in an attempt to break the Curse, but the game is never so specific.

When aggroed Milibeth will attack you with her trusty ladle.

Dialogue

First encounter:
"This is a limbo. A link between Drangleic and the outer world.
Fair traveller, I know that you must have a story.
Why else would you visit such a place?
This lost, decayed kingdom."

Talking:
"My name is Milibeth.
The old women were once Fire Keepers.
I am here to look after them.
It is what my mother did, and her mother before her, and so on."

"The old women were keepers of the fire.
But now, the fire shows signs of fading…
And the kingdom…is beset by Hollows…"

"The old women are sisters. I am told there was a fourth.
They have looked like that for as long as I have known them.
Long ago, Fire Keepers were commonplace.
But now they are lost, scattered to the winds."

When giving the Ladle to the player:
"You have proven yourself to the forest.
We have little to offer, except perhaps these.
May they bring fortune to your journey, in some small way."

When attacked:
"You brute!"

"Stop this at once!"

When attacked and made hostile:
"What are you doing!"

When re-encountered after made hostile:
"Leave at once!"

When attacked and at half health:
"What are you…!"

When killed:
(death scream)

Unknown:
"Have a safe journey…"

"That was dangerously close."
