There are several ways of achieving this goal - you can take the straightforward route of capturing the Fortification, as it will automatically free all friendly prisoners, but that requires you to be at war with the faction of the captors and to have an army strong enough to take it.Īnother approach is to sneak into the town, beat up the prison guard, take their keys, free the lord and fight your way out.
This does not necessarily mean that it is hostile to you - in fact, rescuing lord from a non-hostile faction is easiest as you don't have to give up your equipment and sneak into the town. The prisoner you need to rescue is kept within the dungeon of a Fortification - either a castle or a town - belong to a faction that is hostile to the quest givers.
The imprisoned person in prison will always be a Vassal, as Ladies can only be taken captive by Players and are never kept in dungeons - the throwing of the noble in a dungeon instead of granting them proper conduct. A Lord or Lady will ask you to rescue a member of their family from captivity, who have been denied the treatment they deserve as noble prisoners.
