Revisit the gravestone after the "Witch Hunt" quest, gotten after meeting with the duke and from overhearing a crowd talking in the middle of the capital square, just in front of the inn. -Must have done the Quina quest earlier in the game where you go through the Witch Wood.
-Pick up the slate there and bring it to the Dragonforged for a scene and for the item

1. Meet her in the garden after meeting with the duke
2. Talk to her until you give her your hat automatically
3. Get the quest to meet her in the night from her handmaiden. Don't let her die. Intervene!
Optional: Give her the Arisen's Bond post-quest
4. Take up the next quest of hers from the handmaiden, who will be sobbing in front of the castle. If you can only get it once you start the quest that cancels others (involving the Great Wall), you don't need to worry.

...She'll show up.

DO NOT DO ANY OF THE NUMBERS IN "Aelinore's Route"
If you talked to the Duchess already, then fine, but don't do any quests with her.

1. After the pawns see you as the Arisen officially at the beginning of the game, go back to the inn in Cassardis and speak to Madeleine
2. Escort her to the stronghold
3. Give her the 1000 gold she asks for
4. Continue to interact with her, and do the Mason-given quest involving following/stalking someone at night
5. When she gives you the quest, give her the Golden Idol (obtained through hanging with Fournaval's daughter for a day and letting her win the race at the end. Speak to her after completing the quest and she rewards you the idol for doing as she said all day).
Optional: Give her the Arisen's Bond
6. Keep talking to her. Not too important, but she does say things about the events that you witnessed on that stalking quest

1. Talk to her and give her "cloudwine" until she likes you
2. When given the quest to hunt the griffen from Aldous, talk to her. Save as many men as you can. Come back and talk to her again
3. Give her a lot more cloudwine (in my game she was happy with me, but lost affection for some reason, so give her more crunk)
4. In "Pride Before the Fall", do not intervene and just watch
Optional: Give her the Arisen's bond (I made a copy of it at Black Cat in the capital and gave her one before the quest and one after the quest before I went to leave and talk to Aldous about what happened)
