Deep in the remote Cormount Prison, you'll find the leader of the rebellion.

Before you speak to Maeroth:

"Leave me be."

Asking questions about the rebellion:

"Come to mock the rightful king of the Wood Elves? Go on then, have your fun."

I have some questions for you.

"Not "Answer me, you traitorous dog?" You aren't one of Maeroth's killers, that's clear.
Ask your questions."

Why did you start the Blacksap Rebellion?

"Since his ascension to the throne, the king's attempts to "renew" our lands shows how soft he is on the Green Pact.
My people need a ruler who understands the ancient compacts aren't to be discarded. As second in line to the throne, it fell to me."

Soft on the Green Pact? What does that mean?

"Our ancient compact with Y'ffre brought splendor to the Wood Elf people, yet this king's own Vinedusk Rangers are exempt. I've seen them eat roots from the ground. Disgusting!
When the people called for justice, I had no choice."

Sounds like you really wanted to be the king.

"Of course I did! How better to reaffirm the Green Pact? To keep the High Elves out of Grahtwood?
But General Endare ended the Blacksap when she slaughtered us at Cormount. I fear my sons can't see the rebellion is over. It's why I hope you capture them."

[Persuade] General Endare betrayed the Dominion. I'm the one who brought her to justice. (If you've completed A Lasting Winter)

"The dominion's great hero, a traitor? And you, to have stopped her?
If this is true, my sons would know. If you can convince the Blacksap you ended the Jade Butcher's reign of terror, you can get close enough to my sons to capture them."

Why do you want me to capture your sons?

"If the full weight of the Dominion gets involved in a local rebellion, my people will suffer.
I'd rather use the Dominion's tools against them. A public trial will show our cause to be just. But only if my sons still live."

What can you tell me about your sons?

"If Lorchon knows I'm alive, he'll come peacefully. He's pragmatic, and not the type to waste his life for a lost cause.
Gorinir is another matter. He's not the type to kill you outright, but step lightly. He's very proud, that one."

Speaking to him again:

"I've said all I'm going to say. We both know this isn't true justice. If your Dominion means what it says, it will give my family a public trial."

Once you've collected his sons and everyone has returned to the prison, he'll say:

"I'm glad my sons are alive and safe. I just wish they would stop bickering."

If you convinced Maeroth to give the rebels a trial, he'll say:

"My family is indebted to you.
I remember your goodwill after our trial declares me the rightful king of Valenwood."

If you left them to rot in prison, he'll instead say:

"The king won't keep us here forever. For all his flaws, my cousin believes himself to be a just man.
He can't leave us here to rot."
