AlchemyIngredient01 You can eat an ingredient to learn one of its properties. However, they taste disgusting. AlchemyPotion01 You can make your own potions by mixing up to three ingredients together. Just use the Alchemy Lab. AlchemyPotion01 You tempt me mightily, Alva. But I won't cuckhold another man, even on murderer like Hroggar. AlchemyPotion01 Hroggar doesn't have to know if we sit together. Or drink together. I doubt he would even care. AlchemyPotion01 If you leave that kinslayer Hroggar, I would be happy to keep your company. AlchemyPotion01 I'm bored, Benor. Nobody wants to have any fun with me. AlchemyPotion01 After all you've put that man through. You should be more loyal to him. AlchemyPotion01 Forget about Hroggar. He's always so tired lately. I need someone with a little fire in their blood. AlchemyPotion01 What would Hroggar say if he heard I was drinking with you? AlchemyPotion01 Would you like to buy a lady a drink? AllInThisNote It's all in this note. AmaundContractInfoBranch1Topic You think I don't know that? If anyone learned of this meeting, my corpse would swing over Solitude for a decade! AmaundContractInfoBranch1Topic But what I ask of you... it must be done. There is too much at stake. AmaundContractInfoBranch2Topic I performed the Black Sacrament, contacted you people, because I thought you guaranteed discretion. AmaundContractInfoBranch2Topic Is this no longer so? AmaundContractInfoBranch3Topic In the year 3E 41, Emperor Pelagius Septim was murdered in the Temple of the One in the Imperial City. Cut down by a Dark Brotherhood assassin. AmaundContractInfoBranch3Topic His killing ushered in, shall we say, a necessary change in Imperial policy. AmaundContractInfoBranch3Topic There are those now who wish for a similar change. I am sorry, but that's all I'm at liberty to say. AmaundContractInfoBranch4Topic Oh, my furtive friend. When Emperor Titus Mede II lies dead, there will be gold... a fortune in gold. But so much more! AmaundContractInfoBranch4Topic It is said that the Dark Brotherhood, in recent years, has been in decline. That you lack the power, wealth, and respect of days past. Is it not so? AmaundContractInfoBranch4Topic If you do this, if you kill the Emperor... Oh, how the masses will fear and respect you. AmaundContractInfoBranch5Topic The logistics of such an endeavor will be staggering, I know. There will be several minor assassinations necessary. Leading up to the... main target. AmaundContractInfoBranch5Topic As I mentioned, the amulet I gave you is exceptionally valuable, and will certainly cover the costs of all these other unpleasantries. AmaundContractInfoBranch5Topic The sealed letter explains everything else, in detail. It should be delivered to your superior. Whomever that may be. AmaundContractInfoBranch6Topic Oh, Rexus is no mere servant. He has been with the Motierre family since I was a child. I trust the man with my life. AmaundMotierreGreetBranchTopic By the almighty Divines. You've come. You've actually come. This dreadful Black Sacrament thing... it worked. AmaundMotierreGreetBranchTopic Rexus will now give you two items which must be passed along to your superior. AmaundMotierreGreetBranchTopic Is there... something else you need? Archery01 Make sure to pull your bow all the way back to get the most power out of your shot. AstridConfrontListenerResponse1a Then what in Sithis' name is going on? Cicero spoke to the Night Mother, but she spoke to you? Is this just more of the fool's rambling? AstridConfrontListenerResponse1a It's true, it's true! The Night Mother has spoken! The silence has been broken! The Listener has been chosen! AstridConfrontListenerResponse1a What? The Listener? What are you going on about? What is this lunacy? AstridConfrontListenerResponse1a I spoke only to the Night Mother! I spoke to the Night Mother, but she didn't speak to me. Oh no. She spoke only to him! To the Listener! AstridConfrontListenerResponse1a I spoke only to the Night Mother! I spoke to the Night Mother, but she didn't speak to me. Oh no. She spoke only to her! To the Listener! AstridConfrontListenerResponse1a Are you all right? I heard the commotion. Who was Cicero talking to? Where's the accomplice? Reveal yourself, traitor! AstridConfrontListenerResponse1a By Sithis, this ends now! Back away, fool! Whatever you've been planning is over! AstridConfrontListenerResponse1a No! Someone help me! Please! AstridConfrontListenerResponse1b Okay, let's all take a deep breath. Cicero said he spoke to the Night Mother, but she spoke to you? Please tell me this is some kind of sick joke. AstridConfrontListenerResponse1c You look like you've just seen a ghost. Please tell me you haven't. Cicero said he spoke to the Night Mother... but she spoke to you? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Alive.... You're alive... Thank Sithis... AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Kust is responsible for the cemetery here in Falkreath, I take care of the Shrine. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic The number of graves in this cemetery never decreases. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic War is not new to Falkreath. You have only to stand in our cemetery to see that. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Dengeir deserves more respect than his nephew, Jarl Siddgeir, affords him. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Without birth there is no life, without death there is only stasis. Such is the truth of Arkay. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Strangers like you bring war. I've seen enough war. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic These graves hold the sons and daughters of Falkreath. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Show respect while you're here and you and I will be fine. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic You have the look of a killer. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Arkay helps us find peace with death. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Indara and I like to keep to ourselves and run our farm. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Runil has been a true friend to my wife and I in our time of need. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic My wife, Indara, has a gift with animals. It makes her a better farmer than anyone I've ever seen. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic This war isn't needed. Imperials like my wife can be hard to handle but we Nords could work with them. I should know. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I don't know if the war is Arkay's will or man's, but it's none of my doings. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic My husband Mathias and I tend Corpselight Farm. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Falkreath is a hard place and tending a farm here is thankless work. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Mathies is a kind and wise man. The Nords could use more like him. So could the Imperials. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic How could people see all the graves in Falkreath and still want to make war? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Steel's good, but loyalty's better. I'm loyal to Dengeir first and the Empire second. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Only a hearty soul travels the road these days. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic The war bleeds Skyrim. It bleeds her dry and I think none of us are the better for it. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Men and women join the war, they travel far on these roads to spill each other's blood. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Falkreath's warriors always return, one way or another. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Someone new, perhaps someone looking for me to mix something up for them? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Don't let the shop's name frighten you away. I have plenty of reliable tonics and healing potions to sell. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Falkreath's warriors always return, one way or another. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic If either these Nords or Imperials had some red in their blood this war would be over. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic A hearty welcome to Falkreath! All of Skyrim's true sons are welcome here! AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Stay out of my way, boot. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I can't believe we let provincials like you wander Skyrim. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic You'll find my brother Solaf and I are the only true Nords in Falkreath. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Well met. Unlike my brother, I've no dislike of strangers. Met lots of 'em while I was a Stormcloak. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Can I get you something? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Don't mind Bolund. He's young and gets riled easily. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Looking for something? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic What do you need, stranger? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Shor's bones! A handsome man in Falkreath. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic You're going to have the men around here wrapped around your finger in no time. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic A strong drink will chase off that chill in the air. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I've half a mind to ask if you'll take me on one of your adventures, but I can't just leave Valga on her own. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Not much exciting happens around here. You're as like as not to be bored to death if you stay too long. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Anything I can get you? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Can I get you a drink? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Welcome to Dead Man's Drink. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I escaped fighting in Cyrodiil only to have it track me down again in Skyrim. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I wouldn't complain if we could string together a few sunny days now and then. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Try not to judge Falkreath too harshly, visitor - the war has been hard on us. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I'm sorry, I should really go now. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I can't really help you, I'm just Dengeir's maid. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I was Jarl once, but I was encouraged to step down when I took sides with the Stormcloaks. It was an imperial plot, I tell you! AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Be mindful. My maid Tekla has been known to pass information to that pompous nephew of mine, Siddgeir. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Enemies and ears. Both are everywhere. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic If you're sympathetic to the Empire, you'll be wise to put Falkreath far behind you. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic My nephew has always been handed things, even the title of Jarl. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Stendarr protect Falkreath until Skyrim's Sons rise. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic The war has changed Falkreath, even our neighbors can be our enemies. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I protect the Jarl, whoever that might be. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Falkreath's cemetery reminds of us that war is not new here. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Being Housecarl of Falkreath is an honor. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Treat the Jarl with respect, and you'll be welcome here. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I'm the Steward here. I serve under Jarl Siddgeir and Jarl Dengeir before him. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Siddgeir can sometimes act too quickly but he does listen to Helvard and I. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic For Falkreath and I this is just one more war in a long line. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Yes? What is it that you want? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Boland speaks much about the war and the Stormcloaks but he knows who provides. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic The Stormcloaks want freedom but don't understand its price. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic There are opportunities everywhere. Why don't you go find them. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic No time, I have business to conduct. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Unless you intend to bury someone, this isn't the place you're looking for, traveler. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Falkreath was once full of wanderers and warriors like yourself. Those were better days. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Skyrim's history of war is well documented here in Falkreath's graveyard. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic My brother Dengeir can be... difficult. Take his words with a grain of salt. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Kust is responsible for the cemetery here in Falkreath, I take care of the Shrine. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic The number of graves in this cemetery never decreases. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic War is not new to Falkreath. You have only to stand in our cemetery to see that. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Dengeir deserves more respect than his nephew, Jarl Siddgeir, affords him.

AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Stay out of my way, boot. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Can't believe we let provincials like you wander around Skyrim. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic That Valga Vinicia is a gossip and a troublemaker. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic You'll find my brother Solaf and I are the only true Nords in Falkreath. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Can I get you something? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Don't mind Bolund. He's young and gets riled easily. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Looking for something? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic What do you need, stranger? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Shor's bones! A handsome man in Falkreath. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic You're going to have the men around here wrapped around your finger in no time. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Anything I can get you? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Can I get you a drink? AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Welcome to Dead Man's Drink. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic In Falkreath if I don't know it, it's not worth knowing. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I escaped fighting in Cyrodiil only to have it track me down again in Skyrim. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic From maid to Steward, I can hardly believe it. I hope I'm up to the task. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Try not to judge Falkreath too harshly, visitor - the war has been hard on us. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I'm sorry, I should really go now. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I can't really help you, I'm just Dengeir's maid. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Be mindful. My maid Tekla has been known to pass information to Siddgeir. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic My nephew has always been handed things, even the title of Jarl. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Stendarr protect Falkreath until Skyrim's Sons rise. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Enemies and ears. Both are everywhere. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic The war has changed Falkreath, even our neighbors can be our enemies. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Nenya's history of service is impeccable. She truly is the Steward of Falkreath. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Falkreath's cemetery reminds of us that war is not new here. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Being Housecarl of Falkreath is an honor. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Dengeir was a good Jarl in his day. Even if his day has passed. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic I'm the Steward here. I serve under Jarl Siddgeir and Jarl Dengeir before him. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Siddgeir can sometimes act too quickly but he does listen to Helvard and I. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic For Falkreath and I this is just one more war in a long line. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Stand aside. I don't need to speak to you. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Boland speaks much about the war and the Stormcloaks but he knows who provides. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic The Stormcloaks want freedom but don't understand its price. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic There are opportunities everywhere. Why don't you go find them. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic No time, I have business to conduct. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Unless you intend to bury someone this isn't the place you're looking for, traveler. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Falkreath was once full of wanderers and warriors like yourself. Those were better days. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic Skyrim's history of war is well documented here in Falkreath's graveyard. AstridEndFirstGreetBranchTopic My brother Dengeir can be... difficult. Take his words with a grain of salt. AstridPlayerFindTopic Ssshhh.... Please. There is much... I have to say. And... not much time... AstridPlayerFindTopic I'm sorry. So very sorry. The Penitus Oculatus... Maro... He said that by giving you to them, he would leave the Dark Brotherhood alone. Forever. AstridPlayerFindTopic By Sithis, I was such a fool. All of this... it's all my fault. You are the best of us, and I nearly killed you... as I've killed everyone else... AstridPlayerPlanTopic I'm saying you were right. The Night Mother was right. The old ways... they guided the Dark Brotherhood for centuries. I was a fool to oppose them. AstridPlayerPlanTopic And to prove my... sincerity, I have prayed for a contract. You lead this Family now. I give you the Blade of Woe, so that you can see it through. AstridPlayerPlanTopic You must kill... AstridPlayerPlanTopic Me. AstridPlayerSetupChoice1 Yes. I set you up. I wanted you dead. I betrayed you, the Night Mother, and everything I hold dear. And now Maro has betrayed me. AstridPlayerSetupChoice1 I just wanted things... to stay the way they were. Before Cicero, before the Night Mother. Before... you. I thought I could save us. I was wrong. AstridPlayerSetupChoice1 But you're alive! So there's still a chance. A chance to start over, rebuild. That's why I did... this. AstridPlayerSetupChoice1 Don't you see? I prayed to the Night Mother! I am the Black Sacrament. AstridPlayerSetupChoice2 No! Don't pity me. I deserve whatever fate the Dread Lord has in store. I betrayed you... and now Maro has betrayed me. Fitting... AstridPlayerSetupChoice2 I just wanted things... to stay the way they were. Before Cicero, before the Night Mother. Before... you. I thought I could save us. I was wrong. AstridPlayerSetupChoice2 But you're alive! So there's still a chance. A chance to start over, rebuild. That's why I did... this. AstridPlayerSetupChoice2 Don't you see? I prayed to the Night Mother! I am the Black Sacrament. AstridPlayerSetupChoice3 Don't you see? It was me. I set you up, wanted you dead. I betrayed you, the Night Mother... everything I hold dear. And now Maro has betrayed me. AstridPlayerSetupChoice3 I just wanted things... to stay the way they were. Before Cicero, before the Night Mother. Before... you. I thought I could save us. I was wrong. AstridPlayerSetupChoice3 But you're alive! So there's still a chance. A chance to start over, rebuild. That's why I did... this. AstridPlayerSetupChoice3 Don't you see? I prayed to the Night Mother! I am the Black Sacrament. AventusGreetingBranchTopic I'll go back to the Orphanage in a while. I'll give them time to, you know... clean up the mess. AventusGreetingBranchTopic When I grow up, I'm going to be an assassin. That way I can help lots of children, just like you. BabetteSancLakeGreetBranchTopic By Sithis, what... what happened? BabetteSancLakeGreetBranchTopic Nazir told me what happened in Solitude. You poor dear. You've been through so much... BabetteSancLakeGreetBranchTopic Oh, Astrid... BabetteSancWrapUpGreetBranchTopic If I hadn't heard it with my own ears I wouldn't have believed it. How could Astrid have done this to us? Strangely, I feel only pity for her... BardsCollegeDrumEndTopic At last! I have searched for this drum for 20 years. BardsCollegeDrumEndTopic The college treasury is a bit thin right now. But I can show you some tricks I learned from my days with the army. BardsCollegeDrumHello They found it! They actually found it! BardsCollegeFluteBackstoryTopic Apparently Larina told him some story about the flute being able to make the dead dance. BardsCollegeFluteBackstoryTopic It's just a flute. A really old and valuable flute, but just a flute. BardsCollegeFluteEndTopic That's it! Wonderful! I knew I could count on you. BardsCollegeFluteEndTopic I don't have any money to give you. but I can show you a few tricks I learned playing for the Winterhold wizards. BardsCollegeFluteHello That damn fool! I should ring her neck! BardsCollegeFluteIntroTopic Larina. That fool student of mine stole my flute and sold it to some necromancer. BardsCollegeFluteIntroTopic I just got a ransom note for it. That flute has been handed down for seventeen generations! BardsCollegeFluteIntroTopic Well don't just stand there. Go get my flute! BardsCollegeLuteDrumBackstoryTopic You're joking, right? Rjorn? Only the most famous battle drummer of the second age. Well, famous among bards at least. BardsCollegeLuteDrumBackstoryTopic That drum has been in half a dozen famous battles. It's a priceless artifact. BardsCollegeLuteDrumBackstoryTopic Rjorn was always looking for new stories to tell. It seems he was writing a lay about Halldir when he vanished. That was the missing clue. BardsCollegeLuteDrumIntroTopic Rjorn's drum! Nobody knows where he died, and therefore where his drum might be. BardsCollegeLuteDrumIntroTopic Halldir was the missing link. Rjorn entered Halldir's Cairn in secret, and presumably died there. BardsCollegeLuteDrumIntroTopic Now all I need to do is find someone to get it. Wait. You. You could do it. I need you to get me that drum. BardsCollegeLuteEndTopic What? You did? Oh sweet Divines! You did! BardsCollegeLuteEndTopic There is no way I can pay you what this Lute is worth. But I can teach you a few tricks I've learned over the years. BardsCollegeLuteFinnsStoryTopic Finn was the bard who invented the eight course lute that is commonplace today. BardsCollegeLuteFinnsStoryTopic Until he found a way to string the extra courses, bards only had six course lutes. BardsCollegeLuteFinnsStoryTopic The lute they stole is Finn's original eight course lute. I doubt they even realize its true value. BardsCollegeLuteHello It makes me sad whenever I think about it. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Hmm? Oh, sorry. My mind wanders sometimes. I was just thinking about Finn's Lute. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Over a year ago, thieves broke into the college and made off with a lot of valuable things. Mostly gold and silver. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic But they also stole Finn's Lute. We just learned where the bandits fled to, and I very much want that lute back. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Peace, Galmar. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic You are weak. Sooner you realize it, the sooner we can see the back of you. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Perhaps this would be a good time to get the Dragonborn's input on this matter. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Please. If we have to negotiate the terms of the negotiation, we will never get anywhere. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic She's part of the Imperial delegation. You can't dictate who I bring to this council. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic I have every right to be at this negotiation. I need to ensure that nothing is agreed to here that violates the terms of the White-Gold Concordat. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Diplomatic as usual. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Yes! BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Hear, hear! BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic That didn't take long. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Your chief Talos-hunter? BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic No. You insult us by bringing her to this negotiation? BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic I hope that we have all come here in the spirit of... BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Now that everyone is here, please take your seats so we can begin. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Yes, my lord. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Besides, Jarl Laila will never agree to... BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic Ulfric, you can't be taking this demand seriously? We can hold Riften against anything the Empire can throw at it. BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic By Talos, the stones on this one! You're in no position to dictate terms to us, Tullius! BardsCollegeLuteIntroTopic This is how the Empire repays us for our loyalty? BardsCollegePoeticEddaAccept Wonderful. Just speak to various bards outside of the college, get there parts of the Poetic Edda and return them here to me. BardsCollegePoeticEddaBardTopic I do. I've been working on mine for a while now. BardsCollegePoeticEddaBardTopic I suppose Giraud sent you for it? I was still trying to get the wording right but here it is. BardsCollegePoeticEddaBardTopic Here you are. Always good to see a fellow bard. Tell Giraud I said hello. BardsCollegePoeticEddaBardTopic This is part of me. Guard it with your life. BardsCollegePoeticEddaBardTopic I've got it right here. Just don't read it, it's not very good. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic The Poetic Edda is never truly complete. As a living history of Skyrim we Bards continually add parts to it. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic In fact, If you collected parts of the Edda from any Bard you encountered in your travels I would be willing to pay you for them. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Come in and shut the door. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Welcome to Bits and Pieces. I'm sure you'll find what you need here. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Your path has brought you to the finest fletcher in all the land. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Feel free to look around. We have a fine selection of herbs here at Angela's Aromatics. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Welcome to the Winking Skeever. Take a load off and enjoy the atmosphere. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic You see, all you need is a bit of spirit and any song can be made into a classic. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic That's all for today. You're dismissed. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic This time let's try "The Age of Aggression". I will demonstrate for the class. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic This time let's try "The Age of Oppression". I will demonstrate for the class. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Very good, Aia. Class, observe her finger movements. Let's try a few more pieces. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Yes, Dean Inge. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Now, you try it Aia BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Let's try a lute piece. Follow along... BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Even while making parts up. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Read carefully. You will see there are ways to stay true to the essence, Illdi. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Can we really just make things up? It doesn't seem right. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Seems like most of these are nine parts fiction. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic A good story is nine parts truth and one part fiction. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Yes, Dean. Thank you. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Your performance has been excellent lately Aia. You still need training but one day you will make an adequate singer. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Have it your way, then. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Aia. You're so mean. I don't think he means anything by it. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic You should tell him to mind his own business. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Ataf keeps making eyes at me. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic I think someone has a crush on Illdi. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic I think Illdi's better than Dean Pantea actually knows. She just gets intimidated when she's in class and can't sing. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic I still don't have my Gleda back. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Don't come back until you have the ring. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic The temple is still not clean. Get to it. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic You can't have the ring back! You made a commitment! BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Once you leave the party you can't just come back. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Lets see how tough you are without Sam keeping an eye on you. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic No Sam, no protection. Time to die. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Clavicus sent you didn't he? BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic You can't have the Axe! It's all I have left now! BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic We should go get the axe. BardsCollegePoeticEddaGiraudTaskTopic Let's get the axe and be done with this.

BardsCollegePoeticEddaRefuse Come back to me if you change your mind. BardsCollegePoeticEddaReturnTopic Wonderful. Soon we'll have the latest section of the Edda complete. Keep up the good work. BardsCollegePoeticEddaReturnTopic That's it! You've collected every last verse. I can't thank you enough. This deserves a special bonus. BardSongsBallad01RequestBranchTopic Certainly! It's a fine tune and a good request! BardSongsBallad01Verse1 Alduin's wings, they did darken the sky. His roar fury's fire, and his scales sharpened scythes. BardSongsBallad01Verse2 Men ran and they cowered, and they fought and they died. They burned and they bled as they issued their cries. BardSongsBallad01Verse3 We need saviors to free us from Alduin's rage. Heroes on the field of this new war to wage. BardSongsBallad01Verse4 And if Alduin wins, man is gone from this world. Lost in the shadow of the black wings unfurled. BardSongsBallad01Verse5 But then came the Tongues on that terrible day. Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray. BardSongsBallad01Verse6 And all heard the music of Alduin's doom. The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um. BardSongsBallad01Verse7 And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage. Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new Age. BardSongsBallad01Verse8 If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done. For his story is over and the dragons are... gone. BardSongsBallad02RequestBranchTopic You must be a Stormcloak through and through to request that one. BardSongsBallad02RequestBranchTopic Only true Imperials request that one.

BardSongsBallad02RequestBranchTopic Spare a coin for a poor old beggar? BardSongsBallad02RequestBranchTopic A few septims for my supper is all I ask. BardSongsBallad02RequestBranchTopic I ain't askin' for much, just a few septims. BardSongsBallad02RequestBranchTopic If you have need of hunting supplies then you've come to the right place.

BardSongsDrinkingSong01Verse2 I tell you, I tell you, the Dragonborn comes. BardSongsDrinkingSong01Verse3 With a Voice wielding power of the ancient Nord art. BardSongsDrinkingSong01Verse4 Believe, believe, the Dragonborn comes. BardSongsDrinkingSong01Verse5 It's an end to the evil, of all Skyrim's foes. BardSongsDrinkingSong01Verse6 Beware, beware, the Dragonborn comes. BardSongsDrinkingSong01Verse7 For the darkness has passed, and the legend yet grows. BardSongsDrinkingSong01Verse8 You'll know, You'll know the Dragonborn's come. BardSongsDrinkingSong02RequestBranchTopic Ahhh, a fine but bloody tale. I can do that one. BardSongsDrinkingSong02Verse1 There once was a hero named Ragnar the Red, who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead! BardSongsDrinkingSong02Verse2 And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade, as he told of bold battles and gold he had made! BardSongsDrinkingSong02Verse3 But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red, when he met the shieldmaiden Matilda who said... BardSongsDrinkingSong02Verse4 "Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead! Now I think it's high time that you lie down and bleed!" BardSongsDrinkingSong02Verse5 And so then came the clashing and slashing of steel, as the brave lass Matilda charged in full of zeal! BardSongsDrinkingSong02Verse6 And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no moooooree... when his ugly red head rolled around on the floor! BardSongsDrinkingSong03Verse1 We drink to our youth, and to days come and gone. For the age of oppression is now nearly done. BardSongsDrinkingSong03Verse2 We'll drive out the Empire from this land that we own. With our blood and our steel we will take back our home. BardSongsDrinkingSong03Verse3 All hail to Ulfric! You are the High King! In your great honor we drink and we sing. BardSongsDrinkingSong03Verse4 We're the children of Skyrim, and we fight all our lives. And when Sovngarde beckons, every one of us dies! BardSongsDrinkingSong03Verse5 But this land is ours and we'll see it wiped clean. Of the scourge that has sullied our hopes and our dreams. BardSongsDrinkingSong04Verse1 We drink to our youth, to days come and gone. For the age of aggression is just about done. BardSongsDrinkingSong04Verse2 We'll drive out the Stormcloaks and restore what we own. With our blood and our steel we'll take back our home. BardSongsDrinkingSong04Verse3 Down with Ulfric the killer of kings. On the day of your death we'll drink and we'll sing. BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic Sure, what can I do for you? BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic Sure, what can I do for you? BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic For a generous fellow traveler? But of course. What would you like to hear? BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic Sorry friend, but it looks like you're a bit light in the purse, and the wayward minstrel can't afford to do free performances. BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic Haven't attacked each other yet. Good a sign as any. BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic How are the new breeds getting along with my dogs? BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic I'd rather spend the gold on a new litter of pups, but the horses bring in more gold. BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic Think we should buy more horses next season? BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic We're not fighting we're just.... Why don't I get you something to eat? Mama and papa will talk later. BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic Mama, why are you and papa fighting? BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic You want to give up now? Out of fear? Is that what we're teaching our daughter? BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic You're closing the stall, and that's final. BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic What am I supposed to do? Never leave the house? You want that, Endon? BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic If you can't pound the dusk out of your iron, it'll break when it's finished. Hit. It. Harder. BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic I'm sorry, Ghorza. I just... flinch, and uh.... BardSongsGeneralRequestBranchTopic You strike your metal like a new mother giving her babe a light slap. Hit it harder. BardSongsTakeABreakBranchTopic Sure, my voice could use a rest. BD04AstridMotierreWantsTopic You're joking. BladesOathDelphineShared01 You there. The Dragonborn wishes to give you the chance to join the lost guardians of Tamriel. The dragon slayers. The Blades. BladesOathDelphineShared01 Do you wish to become a Blade? BladesOathDelphineShared02 Are you willing to trade away all claims and titles of your former life? To live here and devote yourself to protecting Tamriel from danger? BladesOathDelphineShared03 Then by my right as acting grandmaster, I name you a Blade, with all the privileges, rights, and burdens that brings. Godspeed. BladesOathRecruitShared01 I do. BladesOathRecruitShared01 What we do here today, we do for our country! For all the true Nords of Skyrim! BladesOathRecruitShared01 But make no mistake. What we do here today, we do for Skyrim and her people. BladesOathRecruitShared01 By cutting out the disease of this rebellion, we will make this country whole again! BladesOathRecruitShared01 Fear neither pain, nor darkness. For Sovngarde awaits those who die with weapons in their hands, and courage in their hearts. BladesOathRecruitShared01 But they are no match for Legionnaires. You are the best and the brightest warriors in Tamriel. Professional soldiers, fearless and devastating. BladesOathRecruitShared01 The Emperor will be paying close attention to what happens here today. Men who distinguish themselves will be well rewarded. BladesOathRecruitShared01 And we have come this far because our cause is true. Because we fight as one. And because our hearts are bursting with anger! BladesOathRecruitShared01 That message is this. BladesOathRecruitShared01 Any king who denies the Emperor will wake one morning to face the Legion staring down his gates. BladesOathRecruitShared01 And on that day, we will confiscate his city, and restore the rule of law to his lands. BladesOathRecruitShared01 The gods are watching. The spirits of our ancestors are stirring. And men under suns yet to dawn will be transformed by what we do here today. BladesOathRecruitShared01 Because this is the end for them, the Stormcloaks will fight like cornered rats. They will be fierce and crafty. BladesOathRecruitShared01 But no! We are farmers! We are craftsmen! We are sons and daughters of shopkeepers, maid servants and soldiers! BladesOathRecruitShared01 We are the sons and daughters of Skyrim! BladesOathRecruitShared01 This is the day we send a message to Ulfric Stormcloak and the rebel Jarls who support him. BladesOathRecruitShared01 On this day, our enemy will know the fullness of our determination, the true depth of our anger, and the exalted righteousness of our cause. BladesOathRecruitShared01 Ulfric thinks he can hide behind the walls of his castle. But we will fight our way in and drag him out through the rubble to face justice. BladesOathRecruitShared01 They say that our cause is false and that we are nothing more than thieves, thugs and murderers! BladesOathRecruitShared01 This is an important day for the Empire and for the Legion. And for all of Skyrim. BladesOathRecruitShared01 We come to this moment carried by the sacrifices and courage of our fellows. Those who have fallen. And those still bearing the shields to our right. BladesOathRecruitShared01 All right. It's time to deliver the final blow to the Stormcloak rebellion. BladesOathRecruitShared01 You have all fought bravely, and sacrificed much to bring us to this point. Blocking01 Any fool can just flail about, swinging his weapon as fast as he can. Any fool can die. Keep your guard up and wait for an opening. BQ01MainTopic The Jarl has put out a bounty on some bandits. Here, take a look at this decree for details. BQ01MainTopic It's the Key, Brynjolf. In his hands, there's no telling what he's capable of. BQ01MainTopic Mercer was able to knock this thing down? Gods... BQ01MainTopic Look old woman. If your boy wants to learn how to fight, we'll teach him. Now off with you. BQ01MainTopic If he does, tell him how bad the food is. And how dangerous it is. BQ01MainTopic Not this again. BQ01MainTopic Has my son Sven asked to join the war? BQ01MainTopic You're always thirsty. Just like you're always drunk. Now let me get back to my rounds. BQ01MainTopic But I'm thirsty now. BQ01MainTopic Not now. If I don't pull night duty, I'll drink a round with you at the Sleeping Giant. BQ01MainTopic My favorite drinking buddy! Let's get some mead. BQ01MainTopic Dragons, now, is it? Please, mother. If you keep on like this everyone in town will think you're crazy. BQ01MainTopic It was as big as the mountain, and black as night. It flew right over the barrow. BQ01MainTopic What?

Some of the Jarl's men came by and left this bounty letter. BQJarlReward Excellent. You've done us a great service. Here is your reward. BranchPackTop Bashnag's circle of mages. We - well "they" live here. They made it pretty clear that I'm no longer welcome. BranchPackTop These are no dainty college mages. Bashnag has the skill of a magister and the mind of a warlord. This is a dangerous bunch. BranchPackTop They're good company if you want to study necromancy in peace, though. BrawlingInitiateShared I don't have to take this from the likes of you. BrawlingShared01 You're tougher than you look. You got me, fair and square. BrawlingShared02 I didn't mean nothing by it! Just... leave me alone! What do you want? BribeAccept01 A little coin always greases the wheels. BribeAccept02 Gold solves most problems, doesn't it? BribeAccept03 For that price? Sure. C00AelaCanYaTakeHimTopic There you are. I had wondered where you got to. C00AelaCanYaTakeHimTopic Do you think you could handle Vilkas in a real fight? C00AelaCanYaTakeHimTopic Don't let Vilkas catch you saying that. C00AelaCanYaTakeHimTopic Ah, yes. I heard you gave him quite a thrashing. C00AelaCanYaTakeHimTopic You know this one? I saw him training in the yard with Vilkas. C00AelaCanYaTakeHimTopic You know this one? I saw her training in the yard with Vilkas. C00AelaCanYaTakeHimTopic I told you, this is the whelp that Vilkas mentioned. C00AelaIfYouWereAnyOtherMan Woah, ease up there. We're rough, but there's no need to kill a Shield-Brother over a dispute. C00AelaIfYouWereAnyOtherMan I like your fire, though. You'll make a fierce Companion. Let us hunt together sometime. C00AelaIhaveYourShieldTopic Ah, good. I've been waiting for this. Good to see you made it up here. C00AelaIhaveYourShieldTopic Ah, good. I've been waiting for this. Wait... I remember you. So the old man thinks you've got some heart, I guess. C00AelaIhaveYourShieldTopic Ah, good. I've been waiting for this. Are you new here? C00AelaNowGetOuttaHereYouBotherMe Here, let's have Farkas show you where you'll be resting your head. C00AelaWhoMe Ah, a man of action. C00AelaWhoMe Ah, a woman who lets her actions speak for her. I knew there was something I liked about you. C00CompanionsHierarchy Well, I'm not sure how they've managed it, but they have. No leaders since Ysgramor. C00CompanionsHierarchy Kodlak is the Harbinger, and he's a sort of advisor for the whole group, but every man is his own. Every woman, her own. C00EorlundBattleaxePlase Just like Ysgramor himself. C00EorlundBlockEntryTopic What brings you here? C00EorlundBranchTopic Yes, lad, you've been raised into the Companions, I hear. C00EorlundBranchTopic I can fashion whatever kind of weapon you want. Finest forge in Skyrim, right here before you. C00EorlundDaggerPlease Ah, the sneaky type, eh? I think we can fix you right up. C00EorlundFavorWhatNow I've been working on a shield for Aela. C00EorlundFavorWhatNow My wife is in mourning and I need to get back to her soon. I'd be much obliged if you could take this to Aela for me. C00EorlundGreatswordPlease Sure you can handle that? Ha! Of course you can. C00EorlundHappyToHelp That's a good man. C00EorlundHappyToHelp Well done. C00EorlundImAGoodBoy That attitude would get you far, if you were some stuffy merchant or a Jarl's footstool. C00EorlundImAGoodBoy Around here, you'll want to learn to live your own life. Remember, nobody rules anybody in the Companions. C00EorlundIntroTopic I'm guessing you're the newcomer then? C00EorlundNameAndGame Not actually a Companion myself, but none of them know how to work a forge properly, and I'm honored to serve them. C00EorlundNameAndGame My name is Eorlund Gray-Mane. I work the Skyforge. Best steel in all of Skyrim. All of Tamriel. C00EorlundPostQuestlineBranchTopic You know, since Kodlak's funeral the Skyforge feels more... awake. C00EorlundPostQuestlineBranchTopic It's always been said that the souls of the heroes of old are what give Skyforge steel its strength. C00EorlundPostQuestlineBranchTopic But I think the forge knows the greatness of Kodlak's soul. I can't really explain, but it feels like it's... young. C00EorlundPostQuestlineBranchTopic I'll wager it could now forge metal the likes of which hasn't been seen since eras long forgotten. C00EorlundPostQuestlineBranchTopic I'm eager to try. C00EorlundPostQuestlineBranchTopic That one right there, walking out the door. He was one of them asking about that old man you're looking for. C00EorlundSwordPlease A blade! It will be as sharp as Fralia's tongue! C00EorlundWaitASec This isn't a command. Just decency. Help out an old blacksmith. I've got to get back to my work. C00EorlundWalkaway Wait, before you go... C00EorlundWaraxeReward Now that's a smart weapon. Light, strong, useful. Crack some skulls for me. C00FarkasFGLeadIn By the way, if you're looking for something to do... C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic By your orders, Captain. C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic I'm sorry. We'll make sure your remains are returned to Black Marsh. C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic I'm sorry.

C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic Get these prisoners out of the carts. Move it! C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic Dragon! C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic Grab Gunjar's gear. No shame in borrowing a friend's axe. C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic Gunjar isn't coming back from the dead. Take his armor and anything else on him. C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic That armor on Gunjar isn't doing him any good. Go ahead. Take it. C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic You better get some gear. C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic See if one of these chests has some armor for you. C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic Got to be a sword or two in one of these chests. Look around. C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic This way. Come on! C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic There's a way out through here! C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic We have to keep moving. C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic This way. Come on! C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic There's a way out through here! C00FarkasPostJoinBranchTopic We have to keep moving. C00GetAMoveOn I have a favor to ask. C00GiantAttackAelaTalkToPlayerTopic You handle yourself well. You could make for a decent Shield-Brother. C00GiantAttackAelaTalkToPlayerTopic You handle yourself well. You could make for a decent Shield-Sister. C00GiantAttackAelaTalkToPlayerTopic Well, that's taken care of. No thanks to you. C00GiantAttackAelaTalkToPlayerTopic Damn it, not now! C00GiantAttackCompanionsInfo An outsider, eh? Never heard of the Companions? C00GiantAttackCompanionsInfo An order of warriors. We are brothers and sisters in honor. C00GiantAttackCompanionsInfo And we show up to solve problems if the coin is good enough. C00GiantAttackIWantIn Not for me to say. You'll have to talk to Kodlak Whitemane up in Jorrvaskr. C00GiantAttackIWantIn The old man's got a good sense for people. He can look in your eyes and tell your worth. C00GiantAttackIWantIn If you go to him, good luck. C00GiantAttackMyBad Ha. Another milk drinker crying about his effort. C00GiantAttackMyBad Glory only awaits those who triumph. C00GiantAttackMyBad And as Companions, our glory must always be hard-fought. C00GiantAttackNoSirIDontLikeIt Well nobody asked you. If you think you're better than we are, go talk to Kodlak Whitemane. C00GiantAttackNoSirIDontLikeIt See what a warrior of true mettle is like. C00GiantAttackWhoMe Certainly not. But a true warrior would have relished the opportunity to take on a giant. C00GiantAttackWhoMe That's why I'm here with my Shield-Brothers. C00Hellos Vilkas will see if you're worth our trouble. C00Hellos I hear you have spirit. This is good. You may yet join our numbers. C00Hellos Keep up the effort, boy. Eyes on the horizon, always. C00Hellos Keep up the effort, young one. Eyes on the horizon, always. C00Hellos Aye. C00Hellos Vilkas, take him out to the yard and see what he can do. C00Hellos Vilkas, take her out to the yard and see what she can do. C00ImAScrub Oh, don't worry too much about it. They were all whelps once. They just might not like to talk about it. C00ImAScrub And don't always just do what you're told. Nobody rules anybody in the Companions. C00JorrvaskrFightGoodbyes Great, back to the fight. C00JorrvaskrFightGoodbyes Always good to see 'em go. C00JorrvaskrFightGoodbyes So who's winning now? C00JorrvaskrFightGoodbyes Keep a sharp eye about you and maybe I'll teach you to fight some day. C00JorrvaskrFightGoodbyes Watch the blades. C00JorrvaskrFightGoodbyes What are you waiting for?

Keep your balance. C00JorrvaskrFightGoodbyes Strike when the shoulder turns. He's giving you openings! C00JorrvaskrFightGoodbyes Watch the eyes! C00JorrvaskrFightGoodbyes Just keep moving, you'll wear him out! C00JorrvaskrFightHellos I just try to keep out of the way when they start roughhousing. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Don't mind them. Just working out some issues, in the old way. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Little blood to clear the air. Hope you have the stomach for it, outsider. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos What is it? C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Not now, I'm trying to watch this! C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Pay attention, you could learn something. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Are you going to let me watch, or not? C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Look at the young ones scrap! C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Twelve septims on the girl! Look at that speed. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Out of the way! C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Could you move? You're in the way. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Hope they don't get carried away here. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Good fight going, here. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos With any luck, a worthy hero will step forward and solve our problems, just like in the tales of old. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos We must keep faith in ourselves and the Divines. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos These are troubling times, indeed. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos These are troubling times, indeed. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos We've had the same troubles. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos I've spent many hours in council meetings lately grappling with that problem. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos I've spent many hours in council meetings lately grappling with that problem. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos I've spent many hours in council meetings lately grappling with that problem. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos We've got our hands full dealing with the Stormcloaks. What about you? C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Are the dragons frightening your people as much as they're frightening mine? C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Have you found it difficult to get provisions lately? I can scarcely feed the staff in my palace. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Between the dragons and the Stormcloaks, my coffers are running dry. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Splendid. Call if you have need of me. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos It pleases me to hear you say so. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Excellent. I'll leave you to it, then. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos As much as can be expected, yes. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos I have no complaints. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos I suppose so, yes. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Everything is splendid, thank you. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Very much so, and thank you for asking. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Very much so, and thank you for asking. C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Are you enjoying the party? C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Is the food and drink to your liking? C00JorrvaskrFightHellos Is my staff seeing to your needs? C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic Oh you're back. Do you still think you could stand as a Companion? C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic Of course. How are you in a battle, boy? C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic Of course. How are you in a battle, girl? C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic And their arm. C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic Sometimes the famous come to us. Sometimes men and women come to us to seek their fame. It makes no difference. C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic What matters is their heart. C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic Apologies. But perhaps this isn't the time. I've never even heard of this outsider. C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic I am nobody's master, Vilkas. And last I checked, we had some empty beds in Jorrvaskr for those with a fire burning in their hearts. C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic Master, you're not truly considering accepting him? C00KodlakBackToThePlayerTopic Master, you're not truly considering accepting her? C00KodlakDontWorryAboutMe That may be so. This is Vilkas. He will test your arm. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Would you now? Here, let me have a look at you. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Hm. Yes, perhaps. A certain strength of spirit. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Leave that to me. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic You have my brother and I, obviously. But I don't know if the rest will go along quite so easily. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic We all do. It is our burden to bear. But we can overcome. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic But I still hear the call of the blood. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Spread out and look for survivors. We need to know what we're dealing with. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic No signs of any dragon right now, but it sure looks like he's been here. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic But the old tales tell of the Dragonborn who could kill dragons and steal their power. You must be one! C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic There weren't any dragons then, idiot. They're just coming back now for the first time in... forever. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic I never heard of Tiber Septim killing any dragons. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic That's right! My grandfather used to tell stories about the Dragonborn. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Dragonborn? What are you talking about? C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic What's happening?! C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Everybody get back! C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Look at that! C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic I thought we were all dead for sure! C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic We killed it! I can't believe it! C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Is it really dead? C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Damned good shooting, boys! C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Let's make sure that overgrown lizard is really dead. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Do not be afraid. Your Shout will not harm us. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Shout at us, and let us taste of your Voice. C00KodlakJoinUpStartTopic Strike us with the power of your Voice. C00KodlakOffended Calm down there, whelp. Don't feel like you need to show off for our sake. C00KodlakOffended Vilkas, here, will be the one testing your mettle. C00KodlakTeachMeMaster That's the spirit. Vilkas, here, will get started on that. C00VilkasTrainingQuestContinuation You might just make it. But for now, you're still a whelp to us, new blood. So you do what we tell you. C00VilkasTrainingQuestContinuation Here's my sword. Go take it up to Eorlund to have it sharpened. And be careful, it's probably worth more than you are. C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat How's the newcomer look? C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat He might just make it. C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat She might just make it. C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat Looks slow to me. C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat I could take him. C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat I could take her. C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat Not bad. C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat Sir. C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat Thank you, Legate. In the future, I'll let you know when your opinion is needed. C00VilkasTrainingQuestObserveCombat You don't think this is a war already? Sir, I... C00VilkasTrainingQuestOverTopic Not bad. Next time won't be so easy. C00VilkasTrainingQuestOverTopic Now that's impressive. You're mightier than you look. C00VilkasTrainingQuestOverTopic What do you think this is? We don't do battle with magic around here, new blood. Now come at me. C00VilkasTrainingQuestOverTopic Come on now, fight your own battles. C00VilkasTrainingQuestVilkasBlock There you go! C00VilkasTrainingQuestVilkasBlock Pretty good arm you have there. C00VilkasTrainingQuestVilkasTaunts Come on, now. C00VilkasTrainingQuestVilkasTaunts Come at me. You couldn't hurt me if you wanted to. C00VilkasTrainingQuestVilkasTaunts Don't just stand there. C00VilkasTrainingQuestVilkasTaunts What are you waiting for? C00VilkasTrainPlayerTopic Not here. Out in the yard. Come on. C00VilkasTrainPlayerTopic The old man said to have a look at you, so let's do this. C00VilkasTrainPlayerTopic Just have a few swings at me so I can see your form. Don't worry, I can take it. C01FollowMeTopic So I'm told. Try and keep up. C01FollowMeTopic So I'm told. Let's see if you impress. C01GetReport I'll speak with Aela about how you handled yourself. Come back later. C01GetReport I'll speak with Farkas about how you handled yourself. Come back later. C01Hellos We should keep moving. C01Hellos We need to get back to Jorrvaskr. C01Hellos There you are. C01ObserverAmbushLine1 None of you will be alive to tell it. C01ObserverAmbushLine2 You're going to regret this. C01ObserverBackOff We should keep moving. Still the draugr to worry about. C01ObserverBackOff Now let's move. I think that was the last of the Silver Hand, but still plenty of draugr for the both of us. C01ObserverBackOff I will take you down too. I am not splitting this horde with anyone. C01ObserverBackOff You will pay for stealing from me you eyeless freak! C01ObserverBackOff I better stay back and see to the old man. Good luck you two. C01ObserverBackOff All right, let's see if we can find a way out. C01ObserverBackOff I'll keep watch in case Ulfric comes through here. Talos guide the both of you. C01ObserverBackOff Let's go on ahead. See if the way is clear. C01ObserverBackOff Still you persist? Very well. C01ObserverBackOff Enough! C01ObserverBackOff The staff! Use it on the Eye! C01ObserverBackOff I am beyond your pathetic attempts at magic. You cannot touch me. C01ObserverBackOff Spells have no effect! C01ObserverBladeQuestionTopic Ysgramor was the hero who started the Companions. Wuuthrad was his weapon. C01ObserverBladeQuestionTopic He came from the ancient homeland and killed all the elves. C01ObserverBladeQuestionTopic But not all of them, because some of them are still here. C01ObserverBladeQuestionTopic It was the blade hefted by Ysgramor when he returned to drive the elves out of the old Skyrim. C01ObserverBladeQuestionTopic Without that axe, this whole land would be overrun still. C01ObserverBladeQuestionTopic Wuuthrad is a relic of Ysgramor. Through that weapon, we trace our line straight to the first harbinger of makind in this land. C01ObserverBladeQuestionTopic What fragments we have are displayed in honor, but we always seek more. C01ObserverDismissalBranchTopic Don't delay, Shield-Brother. C01ObserverDismissalBranchTopic Don't delay, Shield-Sister. C01ObserverInitialHello I hope you've readied yourself. C01ObserverScholarBranchTopic A smart man came and told us about a blade piece. C01ObserverScholarBranchTopic Skjor thinks you should find it, and I'm supposed to watch you. C01ObserverScholarBranchTopic One of those icebrains who wanders the land getting people's hopes up. C01ObserverScholarBranchTopic From my view, I don't think we'll find anything here. C01ObserverScholarBranchTopic You'd better hope there's still a chance for you to prove yourself, though, or this Trial might last longer than you'd like. C01ObserverSilverHandTopic Bad people who don't like werewolves. C01ObserverSilverHandTopic So they don't like us either. C01ObserverSilverHandTopic A group of werewolf hunters who have gotten wise to our little secret. C01ObserverSilverHandTopic They've made it their mission to hunt us down, but we are hunters ourselves. C01ObserverTransformBranchTopic I'm... I'm sorry you had to see that. C01ObserverTransformBranchTopic I hope I didn't scare you. C01ObserverTransformBranchTopic The answer ain't gonna be any different the next time. Arrogant elven bastard. C01ObserverTransformBranchTopic Your lack of cooperation has been noted. We'll be back if we require further information. You won't get a second chance. C01ObserverTransformBranchTopic You'd better clear out before someone gets hurt. C01ObserverTransformBranchTopic No. Not yet. C01ObserverTransformBranchTopic You're in the wrong place to be asking those kind of questions, pal. C01ObserverTransformBranchTopic Where is he? The one who was asking about the fugitive hiding in the Ratway? C01ObserverTrialTopic I watch you to make sure you are honorable. C01ObserverTrialTopic If you are honorable and strong, then I can call you brother. C01ObserverTrialTopic I watch you to make sure you are honorable. C01ObserverTrialTopic If you are honorable and strong, then I can call you sister. C01ObserverTrialTopic I would hope that's obvious. C01ObserverTrialTopic Do well here, and you'll be a full member of the Companions. C01ObserverTrialTopic Fail, and it won't matter anyway. C01ObserverWerewolfTopic Not everyone, but all the Circle are. It's a secret to everybody. C01ObserverWerewolfTopic Not all of us, just the members of the Circle. We shouldn't be talking about this anyway. C01ObserverWhatIsItGirl It's a blessing given to some of us. We can be like wild beasts. Fearsome. C01ObserverWhatIsItGirl Come on now, you're a sharp one. You must have heard of werewolves before. C01ObserverWhatIsItGirl It's a blessing given to the most honored of the Companions. C01ObserverWhatNowBoss Oh, no. Only the Circle have the beastblood. Prove your honor to be a Companion. C01ObserverWhatNowBoss "Eyes on the prey, not the horizon." C01ObserverWhatNowBoss No, only members of the Circle get this blessing. Right now we're just seeing if you're worth keeping around. C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic Don't know. He just said he needed to talk to you before you do anything else. C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic I don't like making him angry, but there is some work for you if you want it. C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic He didn't say, but you'd better move fast. C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic There's probably something I could find for you to do, but best to check with him. C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic I don't know, but he sounded impatient. C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic It's got to be the Imperials! Find them! C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic Look out! Draugr! C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic It must be the Stormcloaks! Find them! C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic Look out! Draugr! C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic Just what I was afraid of! C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic Damn dustmen! C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic Why don't you stay dead? C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic My pa always warned me about these things! C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorBranchTopic Damn dustmen! Why don't you stay dead? C01OtherCompanionsPointToSkjorIntro Skjor was looking for you, earlier. C01SilverHandSceneLine1 Which one is that? C01SilverHandSceneLine2 We knew you'd be coming here. C01SilverHandSceneLine3 Well, look what we have here. C01SilverHandSceneLine4 It's time to die, dog. C01SilverHandSceneLine5 Your mistake, Companion. C01SilverHandSceneLine6 It doesn't matter. She wears that armor, she dies. C01SilverHandSceneLine7 It doesn't matter. He wears that armor, he dies. C01SilverHandSceneLine8 Killing you will make for an excellent story. C01SilverHandTaunt1 Die, you dog! C01SilverHandTaunt2 Death to the beastblood! C01SilverHandTaunt3 I'll rip you apart, Companion! C01SilverHandTaunt4 Ysgramor would be ashamed of you! C01SilverHandTaunt5 I can smell your shame! C01SkjorEntry Ah, there you are. C01SkjorIntroBranchTopic I did. Your time, it seems, has come. C01SkjorIntroBranchTopic Yes, and we have something special for you this time. C01SkjorObserverSplit Aela will be your Shield-Sibling on this venture, whelp. C01SkjorObserverSplit Farkas will be your Shield-Sibling on this venture, whelp. C01SkjorPickMePickMeBranchTopic There's a fine line between respect and boot-licking, new blood. But I like your spirit. C01SkjorPickMePickMeBranchTopic We've decided this will be your Trial. Do well, and you'll be counted among the Companions. C01SkjorPushOutTheDoor Last week a scholar came to us. He said he knew where we could find another fragment of Wuuthrad. C01SkjorPushOutTheDoor He seemed a fool to me, but if he's right, the honor of the Companions demands that we seek it out. C01SkjorSendoff He'll answer any questions you have. C01SkjorSendoff Try not to disappoint. Or to get him killed. C01SkjorSendoff She'll answer any questions you have. C01SkjorSendoff Try not to disappoint. Or to get her killed. C01SkjorUponReturnBranchTopic Ah, you're back. C01SkjorWhatIsThatTopic Wuuthrad was the blade held by Ysgramor when he cut through the elven hordes that once swarmed this land. C01SkjorWhatIsThatTopic He made it safe for our kind. C01SkjorWhatIsThatTopic Wuuthrad was the blade held by Ysgramor when he came back from Atmora. C01SkjorWhatIsThatTopic An axe of great vengeance. Each fragment is precious. C01SkjorWhyMeTopic This is a simple errand, but the time is right for it to be your Trial. Carry yourself with honor, and you'll become a true Companion. C02Hellos Finally, you're back. C02Hellos ...sweet Night Mother. C02Hellos You will talk when you're ready, won't you? Won't you... C02Hellos And what do you do? Nothing! Not... not that I'm angry! No, never! Cicero understands. Heh. Cicero always understands! And obeys! C02Hellos What about you? Have you... have you spoken to anyone? No.... No, of course not. I do the talking, the stalking, the seeing and saying! C02Hellos The others... I've spoken to them. And they're coming around, I know it. The wizard, Festus Krex... perhaps even the Argonian, and the un-child... C02Hellos Are we alone? Yes... yes... alone. Sweet solitude. No one will hear us, disturb us. Everything is going according to plan. C02Hellos You, you there! Help me, I'm trapped. C02Hellos Is anyone out there? Anyone? C02Hellos Help! Can anyone hear me? I'm stuck down here. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Well, boy, you're one of us now. I trust you won't disappoint. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Well, girl, you're one of us now. I trust you won't disappoint. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic It shall be so. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic It shall be so. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic It shall be so. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic It shall be so. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Let it beat with ours, that the mountains may echo and our enemies may tremble at the call. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic His heart beats with fury and courage that have united the Companions since the days of the distant green summers. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Her heart beats with fury and courage that have united the Companions since the days of the distant green summers. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Then the judgment of this Circle is complete. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic I would lead the song of triumph as our mead hall reveled in his stories. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic I would lead the song of triumph as our mead hall reveled in her stories. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic And would you raise a mug in his name? C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic And would you raise a mug in her name? C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic It stands ready to meet the blood of his foes. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic It stands ready to meet the blood of her foes. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic And would you raise your sword in his honor? C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic And would you raise your sword in her honor? C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic I would stand at his back, that the world might never overtake us. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic I would stand at her back, that the world might never overtake us. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Would you raise your shield in his defense? C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Would you raise your shield in her defense? C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic I stand witness to the courage of the soul before us. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Who will speak for him? C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Who will speak for her? C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic This man has endured, has challenged, and has shown his valor. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic This woman has endured, has challenged, and has shown her valor. C02KodlakForceGreetPlayerTopic Brothers and sisters of the Circle, today we welcome a new soul into our mortal fold. C02KodlakOutForACureThen Yes, but it's no easy matter. C02KodlakOutForACureThen But you don't need to share the worries of an old warrior. This day is to rejoice in your bravery! C02KodlakWearsHisTrousersRolled Well, I grow old. My mind turns towards the horizon. To Sovngarde. C02KodlakWearsHisTrousersRolled I worry that Shor won't call an animal to glory as he would a true Nord warrior. C02KodlakWearsHisTrousersRolled Living as beasts draws our souls closer to the Daedric Lord Hircine. C02KodlakWearsHisTrousersRolled Some may prefer an eternity in his Hunting Grounds, but I crave the fellowship of Sovngarde. C02PostQuestKodlakBeginTopic I see you've been allowed to know some secrets before your appointed time. No matter. Yes, it's true. C02PostQuestKodlakBeginTopic Not every Companion, though. Only members of the Circle all share the blood of the beast. C02PostQuestKodlakBeginTopic Some take to it more than others. C02PostQuestKodlakBeginTopic Shor's bones... how did they find this place? C02PostQuestKodlakBeginTopic Be careful around the burial stones. I don't want to haul you back to Jorrvaskr on my back. C02PostQuestKodlakBeginTopic Looks like someone's been digging here. And recently. C02PostQuestKodlakBeginTopic Tread lightly. C02PostQuestKodlakToEorlund And speak to Eorlund if you want a better weapon than... whatever that is. C02QuestgiverKickoffBranchTopic We've been awaiting your return. C02QuestgiverKickoffBranchTopic Leave this place... Leave this place... C02QuestgiverKickoffBranchTopic That door up ahead... looks perfect for hiding an ambush. Be ready. C02QuestgiverWaitWhat Come, follow me. C02QuestgiverYeahSo Watch that tongue, new blood. C03AelaFeelsGoodDontIt I almost envy you. That first time is always the most... intense. C03AelaFeelsGoodDontIt You gave us even more trouble than Farkas did at his first turning. C03AelaForceGreetAtEndIntro The bastards... somehow they managed to kill Skjor. C03AelaForceGreetAtEndTopic He was one of the strongest we had, but numbers can overwhelm. He should not have come without a Shield-Brother. C03AelaForceGreetAtEndTopic Get out of here. I'm going to make sure we got the last of them, and see if there's any information to be gotten from the bodies. C03AelaForceGreetAtEndTopic You and I have work to do. The Silver Hand will tremble at our sight. C03AelaForceGreetAtEndTopic We do this in secret because Kodlak is too busy trying to throw away this great gift we've been granted. C03AelaForceGreetAtEndTopic He thinks we've been cursed. But we've been blessed. How can something that gives this kind of prowess be a curse? C03AelaForceGreetAtEndTopic So we take matters into our own hands. C03AelaForceGreetAtEndTopic I'm glad you came. It's been a long time since we had a heart like yours among our numbers. C03AelaForceGreetAtEndTopic That pitiful ceremony behind the hall does not befit warriors like us. C03AelaForceGreetAtEndTopic You are due more honor than some calls and feasting. C03AelaForceGreetPostTransformBranchTopic There's a pack of werewolf hunters camped nearby, at Gallows Rock. C03AelaForceGreetPostTransformBranchTopic The Silver Hand. I think you've met them before. C03AelaForceGreetPostTransformBranchTopic We're going to slaughter them. All of them. C03AelaForceGreetPostTransformBranchTopic Lead on. Skjor's already scouting ahead. C03AelaForceGreetPostTransformIntro Yours was not an easy transformation. But you're still alive, so congratulations. C03AelaForceGreetPostTransformIntro We even have a celebration planned for you. C03AelaForceGreetPostTransformIntro Actually... on second thought, I'll just kill you! C03AelaForceGreetPostTransformIntro Now that we've got that out of the way, I'll take everything you have... or your life. C03AelaForceGreetPostTransformIntro I'm glad they didn't find my lucky dagger. It's time to gut these rotten birds. Lead the way! C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Vekel, you have no shame. I'll get you the rest like I said. I want that hammer. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Yeah, funny thing about that. The price was a hundred higher than I expected. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic You did? Thanks. I get you the rest of your coin by tomorrow. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Good news. I found that dwarven hammer you were looking for. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic I'll pass it along. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic You know what I mean. Tell your boss that rough is rough, but when someone pulls a dagger fun time is over. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic They aren't my boys. Do I look like the leadin' type? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic You need to tell your boys to place nice, Delvin. Almost threw two of them into the well last night. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Well if it turns up, I'll be willing to buy. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Maybe. That stuff's gettin' tough to bring across the border with all the Argonian patrols. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Well, if some Moon Sugar should fall into your lap... C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Puttin' together another shipment from Morrowind, Vekel. Lookin' for anythin' special? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Am I responsible if the vintage was off on that case? Sorry, you know the rules Vekel. No refunds. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Sure, it tastes great. Only one problem. You said it can make the darkness as clear as day when you drink it. Guess what? It doesn't. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic What do you mean? That wine tastes finer than anythin' Surilie Brothers ever made. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic All right, Delvin. What gives with that case of Shadowbanish you sold me? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic That is your choice. We will not force you. But to join the Circle, your blood must be as ours. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Meet us here when you're ready. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic No. Now shove off. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Snilf, it's me. I don't have a roof over my head either, remember? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Oh if only I could provide more than this coin. I hope it'll do. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Again? Buy some food this time will you? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Yes, I hope this helps. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Another uncounted causality of this war. Here you are, you poor man. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Certainly, my good man. Here. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic You're disgusting, stay away from me. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic If I had even a pot to piss in, I'd gladly share. Sorry. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Yes, I hope this helps you. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Absolutely. Here you are. Be well. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Ugh, you smell horrible. Get yourself cleaned up. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Very well, here. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Oh you poor thing, you must be starving. Come to the temple later and let us feed you. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Snilf, I told you begging isn't the answer. I expect to see you at the temple later. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Sorry, no time. I'm late. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic If you want to awaken from your next slumber, I suggest you leave me be. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic What? No. Get away from me. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic I suppose. Just get something to eat and stay away from the Bee and Barb for a change. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Very well, please use it for food. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Never. Now move aside. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Spare a coin? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic If you could spare a septim, I'd be grateful. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Help out an old man here with some coin, would you? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Hey, can I get a gold or two? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic I could sure use some coin. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Go away. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Edda, you know well I barely have any coin to call my own. I'm sorry. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic You must be starving. Here, spend it well. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic All right, all right. Here. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Yes, I hope this helps. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Yes, of course. This war is causing your woes, it's hardly your fault. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Certainly, good lady. Here. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Are you joking? Go earn a living and stop loafing! C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic I would if I could, but I can barely make ends meet. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Here, this should help. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Of course, here. Be well. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Maybe you should look for work instead of begging for coin. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Here you are. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Oh you poor thing! Come by the temple and my husband and I will keep you fed. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Edda, Edda. There's no need for this. Just come by the temple and we'll care for you. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Sorry, all out of coin. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic I've told you before, and I'll tell you again. Leave me alone. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Ugh, you reek. Get out of my way. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Here you go, dear. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Oh, very well. Just try and clean yourself up. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Get away from me, you filthy woman. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Please milady, can you spare a gold coin for an old woman? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Please my lord, can you spare a gold coin for an old woman? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Please help me, I'm starving. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Please, I don't have anything to eat. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Can you spare any coin? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Spare a septim? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Gladly. He won't bother you anymore, I promise. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic There's a new guard nosing around the meadery. Can you do something about it? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Sure, Ton. You know I'm good for it. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic I need you to do me a favor, Dirge. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic That's all they are... rumors. So quit worrying. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Look, I need to know. What's going on between you and Brynjolf? C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic How dare you! After all we've been through together? How can you do this to me! C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic I can take care of myself. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Come on, Ton. Marry me. Let me take care of you. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic I don't want to settle. I like things the way they are. C03AelaSkjorWerewolvesBaaaaaadBranchTopic Why can't you just settle down and run the Flagon with me? C03AelaSoWerewolvesHuh You have the blood of the wolf in you. You'll need to build up your strength before you can call on it again, though. C03AelaSoWerewolvesHuh Just be careful where you do it. Some cowards in this land can't stand the sight of glory before them. C03AelaSoWhatsKodlaksDealTopic Cure? Hah. You're sounding like the old man. C03AelaSoWhatsKodlaksDealTopic I... shouldn't say that. C03AelaSoWhatsKodlaksDealTopic I love Kodlak. I respect and follow him. But he's wrong on this. It's no curse. We're made into the greatest hunters in the land. C03AelaSoWhatsKodlaksDealTopic If he's worried about some mead-swilling afterlife in Sovngarde, he's free to pursue it. I'll take the glories of the hunt right here. C03AelaWaitWhatJustHappened You were born into the pack, brother. C03AelaWaitWhatJustHappened You were born into the pack, sister. C03AelaWaitWhatJustHappened Are you awake? C03AelaWaitWhatJustHappened I was starting to think you might never come back. C03AelaWhatAreTheRulesTopic Nothing, until you choose to use it. C03AelaWhatAreTheRulesTopic Then, well... you got a taste. Stronger, faster. C03AelaWhatAreTheRulesTopic It doesn't last long, though. The blood of your foes can sustain you. If you're willing to feed. C03AelaWhereWeGoingTopic The Silver Hand have taken over the old fort at Gallows Rock. They always make such easy prey. C03AelaWhereWeGoingTopic Old fort. Abandoned for years. They're like jackals, making their home anywhere they can find. C03AelaWhereWeGoingTopic We've failed. The city is lost. They're through the gates and will be here soon. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic This is... he should not have gone alone. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Thank you for telling me. This is a day where our souls must cry, and our hearts will answer. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Go. Grieve in whatever way you know. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Skjor... I always thought of him as invincible. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Truly, one of our great fires has gone out. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic He was the one I looked up to. I need to find my brother. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic He has joined the honored dead. This will be a difficult time for us all. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Unfortunate. He was an excellent sparring partner. I'll miss our training sessions. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic I... I can only imagine Aela's anger. I'll make sure not to cross her for a while. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic He did? That's... I'm surprised. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic I wonder who will replace him in the Circle? C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Tragic, of course. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic But, well. Fires go out. Others ignite. Skjor inspired many with his life. Perhaps his death can continue to inspire. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Oh my. He was always so kind to me. A bit rough around the edges, but a good man. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic I... I'll get his things in order. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic I'm glad they finally believed me. About the assassin I mean. It's been so hard since my Torygg passed. No one takes me seriously. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic So how's this work exactly? Do you just kind of stand there on the look out? That's what Bolgeir does. Well, he sort of looms more than stands. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Bolgeir's loyal, but even he doesn't do what I ask. Case in point, this whole assassin thing. Well at least I have you now. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Look at me ramble... Well, I guess I'll go about my business sulking in here. You can stand over there in the corner watching for assassins. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Come in, come in! Shut the door behind you! C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Well, what are you waiting for?! C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic I'm not taking any visitors. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Please, just go away! C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Leave - me - a - lone! C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Go away! C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic (Sounds of unlocking and unbarring a door) C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic It doesn't really matter what I believe, now does it? I've brought you someone who can protect you. That's what you want, isn't it? C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic I thought you didn't believe I was in danger! C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic I've brought a friend. Someone who can help. A bodyguard. To protect you. C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Go. Away. Please! C03PostQuestTellThemBranchTopic Elisif... C03SkjorAgainIAskUnderwhat Here's all you need to know. Jorrvaskr is the oldest building in Whiterun. The Skyforge was here long before it was. C03SkjorAgainIAskUnderwhat And the Underforge taps an ancient magic that is older than men or elves. C03SkjorAgainIAskUnderwhat We bring you here to make you stronger, new blood. Now let's move. C03SkjorLayItOnMe Very well. C03SkjorReadyForThisBranchTopic Are you prepared to join your spirit with the beast world, friend? C03SkjorReadyForThisBranchTopic I would hope you recognize Aela, even in this form. C03SkjorReadyForThisBranchTopic She's agreed to be your forebear. C03SkjorUnderforgeEntryBranchTopic Aela will be joining us shortly. Once she's inside, we can follow. C03SkjorUnderforgeEntryBranchTopic Are you prepared? C03SkjorUnderwhat I forget that you've never seen it. Beneath the Skyforge, where Eorlund works. C03SkjorUnderwhat The door is hidden, but I will show you the way. C03SkjorYeahWhatever This is no test, new blood. This is a gift. Come inside. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Still eager to please. This is good. Skjor may be right about you. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic He has something special planned for you. Better talk to him. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Yes. I have something a little different planned this time. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic But it's not for everyone to hear. Meet me in the Underforge tonight. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic We will speak more. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Yes, I have something special for you. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic But it's not for everyone to hear. Meet me in the Underforge tonight. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic We will speak more. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Skjor was looking for you before. Talk to him before doing anything else. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Sorry, Miss Temba. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Sigh. Everyone isn't as short as you are... what good are these boards to someone of the proper height!? C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I'm so sorry Miss Temba. Perhaps if you would have been more specific... C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Gwilin! I told you to cut those boards at twice arm length! My arm's length. Not yours. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic When I want your opinion, I'll ask for it. Otherwise, mind your business. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I hardly think the bears are clever enough to hold a grudge against you, Miss Temba. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Another batch of logs completely ruined. I swear, these bears have it out for me. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic "Our" business? C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic As I remember things, it was you that showed up at my doorstep looking for a job and a place to live. Try and remember that. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Look, I'm merely suggesting a few things that could expand our business. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I'm becoming sick to death of your ideas. Not one of them has paid off since you moved in. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic If you have a moment, I've come up with a few ideas I wanted to share. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic That's none of your business and I appreciate if you wouldn't mention it again. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Come on, everyone in town knows that you spend more time with Fastred than fishing in the river. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Blood from a stone, Klimmek. I've been out there every morning. They just aren't biting. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic We're behind again. I need you to catch another two bushels by week's end if I'm to make another delivery. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Yes, mother. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I know your sights are set beyond this town, but for now, while you're under our roof, I need you to pitch in a little more. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I help, I do the chores. What else would you have me do? C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I need you to pitch in a little more around here, dear. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic And if she decides to leave Ivarstead, what then? No, no... I can't bear the thought. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic You're hardly throwing her to the wolves. She just wants to see the world... just like I did when I was her age. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic She's our only child, Boti. Am I to throw her to the wolves? C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic You have to let Fastred follow her heart. You can't tell her what to do. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I know what you said, but I only wanted to speak to him for a moment. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Wilhelm said he saw you speaking to one of the pilgrims on the 7,000 Steps. I told you that I didn't want you to go up there. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic What is it now? C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Fastred, I wanted to talk with you. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic There's much more to worry about in life then a bit of a temper, my friend. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Perhaps, but abuse is abuse. I don't think I could stand it. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic If you'll pardon the expression, she's far more bark than bite. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I heard Temba yelling at you yesterday. Why do you let her treat you like that? C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic You're sweet. I'm just not ready for that sort of thing right now. I'm sorry. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Perhaps when you're finished here this evening, we could... C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Thank you Klimmek. That's too kind. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I thought you played wonderfully last night. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I know, but I don't want to let them down. I guess I better start thinking about it soon. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Take your time then. It isn't as though the Greybeards are going to complain. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I wish I didn't have to. It's quite a difficult climb. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic You heading up to High Hrothgar soon, Klimmek? C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Perhaps one day, but not today. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Klimmek is doing just fine. You should follow your heart. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic No. I'll tell you, Wilhelm, if I could sweep her away from here tomorrow I'd do it, but Klimmek still has so much to learn. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic Have you spoken to Fastred yet? C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic See that you don't. I promised to keep you safe and I'm not going to break my word. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I'm sorry. I was curious... I didn't believe the stories. I won't go over there ever again. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic That thing's evil, Lynly! I told you to keep away from there! C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I think I saw it again. That... ghost. It was over by the barrows. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic All right, Wilhlem. I suppose it's the least I can do for you. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I think you play beautifully. It would be a shame if you stopped. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic What's the point? I'm not very good, and it's only for the same few people every night. C03SkorQuestStartBranchTopic I think you should continue with your performances. C04AnyoneElse No, but they made off with all our fragments of Wuuthrad. C04AnyoneElse But you and I are going to reclaim them. C04AnyoneElse We will bring the battle to their chief camp. There will be none left living to tell their stories. Only songs of Jorrvaskr will be sung. C04AnyoneElse We will avenge Kodlak. And they will know terror before the end. C04CombatTaunts The beasts return! C04CombatTaunts Your blood is ours, Companion! C04CombatTaunts You belong to Hircine now! C04Hellos I've been looking for you. C04Hellos Thank you for coming. C04JorrvaskrCommotionGateAttackerTopic The Silver Hand. They finally had the nerve to attack Jorrvaskr. We got most of them, but I think a few stragglers made it out. C04JorrvaskrCommotionGateAttackerTopic Don't leave any of them alive. C04JorrvaskrCommotionTreeAttackerTopic These two aren't a problem anymore. C04JorrvaskrCommotionTreeAttackerTopic Make 'em bleed. C04KodlakBadDog The boy has a nugget of truth, but the reality is more complicated than that. C04KodlakBadDog It always is. C04KodlakBodyToSoul The disease, you see, affects not just our bodies. It seeps into the spirit. C04KodlakBodyToSoul Upon death, werewolves are claimed by Hircine for his Hunting Grounds. C04KodlakBodyToSoul For some, this is a paradise. They want nothing more than to chase prey with their master for eternity. C04KodlakBodyToSoul And that is their choice. But I am still a true Nord. And I wish for Sovngarde as my spirit home. C04KodlakButILikeWerewolves The witches didn't lie, of course. But it's more than our bodies. C04KodlakContinuation In any case, I have a task for you. C04KodlakGiveTaskTopic Have you heard the story of how we came to be werewolves? C04KodlakILessThanThreeWerewolves As in all matters of faith, though, the reality is more complicated than one believer would tell you. C04KodlakILessThanThreeWerewolves Aye, that sounds like him. C04KodlakImOnIt Good. Now move quickly. And don't leave any of them alive. C04KodlakIntroBranchTopic Yes, youngling. Have a seat. C04KodlakIsThereACure That's what I've spent my twilight years trying to find out. C04KodlakIsThereACure And now I've found the answer. The witches' magic ensnared us, and only their magic can release us. C04KodlakIsThereACure They won't give it willingly, but we can extract their foul powers by force. C04KodlakIsThereACure I want you to seek them out. Go to their coven in the wilderness. Strike them down as a true warrior of the wild. C04KodlakIsThereACure And bring me their heads. The seat of their abilities. From there, we may begin to undo centuries of impurity. C04KodlakIWantToBeAWerewolf This is not about your desires, lad. C04KodlakIWantToBeAWerewolf This is not about your desires, lass. C04KodlakJustMeQuestionMark You shall have no Shield-Brother this time. But the spirit of Ysgramor goes with you, to restore the honor of his legacy. C04KodlakNoFateButWhatWeMake Your own fate will be your own choice. Just as always. C04KodlakNoFateButWhatWeMake Now be gone. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Your hearts are full of grief, and my own weeps at the loss of Skjor. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans But his death was avenged long ago. You have taken more lives than honor demanded. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans The cycle of retaliation may continue for some time. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans I misspoke. Never mind what I said. Now get back to work. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans The temple, Betrid? You were one of Dibella's faithful? C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Oh, stop apologizing. It makes you look like an idiot. Learn to talk back a bit, girl! Why, when I was in the temple.... C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans I'm sorry, Betrid. I thought I had cleaned the tables properly. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans No, don't bother. You're useless, as always. I'll get Ildene to do it. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans I'm sorry, Betrid. I'll clean them right away. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Rhiada, did you clean the tables today? They're filthy! C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Uh, yes. Quite. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Oh, I know, Thonar. Only a mad woman would ever betray the Silver-Blood family. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Um, good. We reward loyalty, you know. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Ah, Thonar, don't you worry. Nana Ildene isn't going anywhere. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Ah, Nana Ildene, whatever would my family do without you? C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Thank you, Thonar. That's generous of you to say. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans He's a lucky man to have such a beautiful young wife. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Eltrys, yes, just last season we were wed. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans You're married, yes? To that young metal worker? C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Why, thank you Thonar. I'm flattered. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans You're a very pretty young woman, Rhiada. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Thanks Nana. I feel better now. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Don't you worry Rhiada. If any Forsworn coming knocking on our door, Nana will let you know.... C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans It's just... aren't you worried about the Forsworn? Maybe it's not safe here. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Yes, child. Nana Ildene has taken care of the Silver-Bloods for many years.... C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans You have worked here in the Treasury House for a long time, haven't you Ildene? C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Oh dear, whatever is a girl to do with such fearful brutes about her? C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans I'll take control of the family on my own time, Betrid. Until then, my brother remains in charge and you'll keep your mouth shut. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Well maybe if you would finally convince Thongvor to put you in charge of the family, I wouldn't need to question you anymore. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans I am busy keeping this family in coin and your pretty little head adorned with jewels, so I'll thank you not to question where I go at night, wife. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Where were you last night, Thonar? Busy with work or have you found some other woman who's willing to tolerate your lack of ambition? C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Fine, I won't fire him, but I'm doing this for your sake. Not his. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans He's my cousin. Just give him another chance. Please. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans There are no shipments scheduled today. Stop covering for him! C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans He's just waiting for the shipments, Lisbet. He'll be back as soon as they come in. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Where's Cosnach, is that lazy idiot out drinking at the Silver-Blood Inn again? On my coin? C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Worse. The loss of shipments from Forsworn attacks are really hitting us hard. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Not too bad, I hope? C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Imedhnain, I was just comparing the ledgers from last season. C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Did you see that? C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Oh my goodness! C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Whoa! They killed Grelod! Ha ha ha ha ha! C04KodlakPlayerSpillTheBeans Yeah! Get her! Kill her! C04KodlakPlayerTriesToHideContinuation Mind you, it's no business of mine what each Companion does in the name of honor. C04KodlakPlayerTriesToHideContinuation But this sneaking around. It doesn't befit warriors of your standing. Aela knows better, and so should you. C04KodlakPlayerTriesToHideIt Lad, I know what you've been up to. C04KodlakPlayerTriesToHideIt Lass, I know what you've been up to. C04KodlakPowerDescribe They did not believe the change would be permanent. The witches offered payment, like anyone else. C04KodlakPowerDescribe But we had been deceived. C04KodlakReallyGiveTaskTopic Ah yes, their trickery. C04KodlakSeeYa Talos guide you, lad. C04KodlakSeeYa Talos guide you, lass. C04KodlakSonOfAWitch We'll get to that. C04KodlakSonOfAWitch It's not so simple as just killing them, though. C04KodlakTruthAboutDogs The Companions are nearly five thousand years old. This matter of beastblood has only troubled us for a few hundred. C04KodlakTruthAboutDogs One of my predecessors was a good, but short-sighted man. He made a bargain with the witches of Glenmoril Coven. C04KodlakTruthAboutDogs If the Companions would hunt in the name of their lord, Hircine, we would be granted great power. C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows I hear you've been busy of late. C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows Listen, as far as I'm concerned you've already earned your pardon. C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows But until we get that confirmed by General Tullius, just stay clear of other Imperial soldiers and avoid any complications, all right? C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows See that ruin up there? Bleak Falls Barrow. When I was a boy, that place always used to give me nightmares. C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows I'm glad you decided to come with me. We're almost to Riverwood. C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows You sure you won't change your mind? Riverwood isn't far. I'm sure my uncle will be glad to help you out. C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows Remember, this isn't Stormcloak territory. If we're ahead of the news from Helgen we should be fine as long as we don't do anything stupid. C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows If we run into any Imperials, just let me do the talking, all right? C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows See that ruin up there? Bleak Falls Barrow. I never understood how my sister could stand living in the shadow of that place. C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows I'm glad you decided to come with me. We're almost to Riverwood. C04KodlakUhOhHeKnows You sure you won't change your mind? Riverwood isn't far. I'm sure my sister will be glad to help you out. C04OtherCompanionsRedirectBranchTopic Aela's laid claim to your services, and I've learned the hard way not to upset her. Best you stick to her for now. C04OtherCompanionsRedirectBranchTopic Aela said you were hers, and I wasn't supposed to interfere. She scares me. C04OtherCompanionsRedirectBranchTopic And there is more work to be done, but I fear that Kodlak's gotten wind of our recent efforts. He's asked to see you. C04OtherCompanionsRedirectBranchTopic My advice? Always be honest with the old man, but don't tell him anything he doesn't need to know. C04VilkasCutToTheChase One of the fiercest battles I've ever seen. C04VilkasMistuhKodlakHeDead We fought them off, but... C04VilkasMistuhKodlakHeDead The old man... Kodlak... he's dead. C04VilkasMistuhKodlakHeDead The Silver Hand. They finally found enough courage to attack Jorrvaskr. C04VilkasOutJustOutWhy I hope it was important, because it means you weren't here to defend him. C04VilkasPostAttackBranchTopic Where have you been? C05Hellos We're going to make them pay. C05Hellos Those bastards will regret raising their weapons against Jorrvaskr. C05Hellos Let's get back to Jorrvaskr. We'll want to pay our respects to Kodlak's spirit. C05Hellos Ten septims tomorrow, baby Battle-Born. Or I'm gonna bloody your nose and your lip. C05Hellos No! Please! I really don't have any money, Braith! I'll give you ten septims tomorrow. Just don't hit me. C05Hellos You'd better give me five septims right now, or I'm going to bloody your nose... C05Hellos I... I don't have any money. C05Hellos Battle-Born! Give me your money! C05Hellos By Ysmir, it's true. A jester - funny suit and all. Just north, by the Loreius Farm. Fool had a coffin in a cart, with a broken wheel. C05Hellos Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! C05Hellos Thought did cross my mind, yeah. War brewing, talk of a riot in Helgen, and now jesters? Skyrim's gone mad, girl. You need to be careful out there. C05Hellos You sound like my ma. Figured I was lying dead in a field somewhere, is that it? C05Hellos Well, sounds like you've had quite the journey, Uthgerd. But you were gone longer than usual. I got to thinking maybe you weren't coming back... C05VilkasCodeSixLetsGo The others have probably prepared Kodlak's funeral by now. C05VilkasCodeSixLetsGo Come up to the Skyforge to pay your respects. C05VilkasUponReturnBranchTopic We did well today, Shield-Brother. C05VilkasUponReturnBranchTopic We did well today, Shield-Sister. C06AelaAtEnd1 Did I hear right? Did he say you were to lead the Companions? C06AelaAtEnd2 I'm just surprised. But your strength and honor are apparent to all. C06AelaAtEnd3 You've earned the right. Your strength and honor are apparent to all. C06AelaAtEnd4 And it's my honor to be first to address you as Harbinger. C06AelaAtEnd5 Let's go tell the others. C06AelaSceneLine1 Being moon-born is not so much of a curse as you might think, Vilkas. C06AelaSceneLine2 And you avenged him. C06AelaSceneLine3 You're right. It's what he wanted, and he deserved to have it. C06AelaSceneLine4 There the souls of the Harbingers will heed the call of northern steel. C06AelaSceneLine5 We can't even enter the tomb without Wuuthrad, and it's in pieces, like it has been for a thousand years. C06EorlundForCryinOutLoud I appreciate it. C06EorlundGetAMoveOn Of course, I have a small favor to ask of you. C06EorlundGetAMoveOn There's another piece, that Kodlak always kept close to himself. Would you go to his chambers and bring it back for me? C06EorlundGetAMoveOn I'm not sure I'm the best one to go through his things. C06EorlundGetAMoveOn His spirit is departed. Members of the Circle, let us withdraw to the Underforge, to grieve our last together. C06EorlundGotTheAxeBranchTopic Do you have the fragments of Wuuthrad, still? C06EorlundGotTheAxeBranchTopic I'll need to prepare them for mounting again. C06EorlundHeresTheLastPieceTopic You're back. C06EorlundHereTakeIt Thank you. Your Shield-Siblings have withdrawn to the Underforge. I think they're waiting for you. C06EorlundMyPleasure Thank you. I'll be here. C06EorlundSceneLine1 And dragons were just stories. And the elves once ruled Skyrim. C06EorlundSceneLine1 Just because something is, doesn't mean it must be. C06EorlundSceneLine1 The blade is a weapon. A tool. Tools are meant to be broken. And repaired. C06EorlundSceneLine2 This is the first time I've had all the pieces, thanks to our Shield-Brother here. C06EorlundSceneLine3 This is the first time I've had all the pieces, thanks to our Shield-Sister here. C06EorlundSceneLine4 The flames of Kodlak shall fuel the rebirth of Wuuthrad. And now it will take you to meet him once more. C06EorlundSceneLine4 "The flames of a hero can reforge the shattered." C06EorlundSceneLine5 The rest of you, prepare to journey to the Tomb of Ysgramor. For Kodlak. C06EorlundSceneLine6 As the one who bore the fragments, I think you should be the one to carry Wuuthrad into battle. C06EorlundYeahWhatever Careful with those. Don't want even more fragments, do we? C06EorlundYouBetcha Don't get too flowery on me, lad. C06EorlundYouBetcha Don't get too flowery on me, lass. C06FarkasFearFinish Ever since Dustman's Cairn, the big crawly ones have been too much for me. C06FarkasFearFinish Everyone has his weakness, and this one is mine. C06FarkasFearFinish I'm not proud, but I will stay back with Vilkas. Give my regards to Ysgramor. C06FarkasFearPlayerFemale I can't go any further, Shield-Sister. C06FarkasFearPlayerMale I can't go any further, Shield-Brother. C06FarkasSceneLine1 Kodlak did not care for vengeance. C06Hellos For Kodlak! C06Hellos Greetings, Shield-Brother. C06Hellos Greetings, Shield-Sister. C06KodlakCanBeCured Did he now? I can only hope. C06KodlakCanBeCured You still have the witches' heads? Excellent. Throw one of them into the fire. It will release their magic, for me at least. C06KodlakCanBeCured Don't worry, I'll treat those shipments as if I owned them myself. C06KodlakCanBeCured Shor's Beard! You're right! I'll do it... provided you supervise the shipments personally. C06KodlakCanBeCured Exactly. What better way to help the cause than to put weapons into the hands of young Nord warriors dying for their homeland? C06KodlakCanBeCured So I pay for the weapon shipments and you oversee their distribution to the Stormcloaks? C06KodlakCanBeCured I'm telling you, Vulwulf, it's the investment you've been waiting for. C06KodlakCanBeCured If you want to go out to Whiterun and burn that meadery down, go right ahead. C06KodlakCanBeCured And when the guard traces it back here, and Maven is implicated, I'll be sure to tell her it was your idea. C06KodlakCanBeCured Come on, think about it. She'd reward us! C06KodlakCanBeCured If you think I'd would make a move like that without asking Maven, you're out of your mind. Doing that would be a fatal mistake. C06KodlakCanBeCured The rest of you lot are with me. C06KodlakCanBeCured This is the bridge out of town. The path up the mountain to the northwest leads to Bleak Falls Barrow. C06KodlakCanBeCured I guess I should get back to my brother. He'll throw a fit if I take too long. Such a child.... C06KodlakCanBeCured So, what do you think of my plan. You in or out? C06KodlakCanBeCured Gretta, Engar, stay and guard the entrance. We don't want any Imperial reinforcements taking us by surprise. C06KodlakCanBeCured It's only because I've had an excellent teacher. C06KodlakCanBeCured Aerin, you never cease to amaze me. You always see the good in everything. C06KodlakCanBeCured I think some of them do, Lady Mjoll. They're just too frightened to step up and do something about it like you are. C06KodlakCanBeCured Sometimes I'm not certain that the people of Riften want to be helped. C06KodlakCanBeCured I... I'm sorry Haelga, I can't. Not yet. C06KodlakCanBeCured That old place? I could care less about it. Its you I want, Bolli. C06KodlakCanBeCured I told you, I can't just pick up and leave. I have my wife, my business... not to mention you have the Bunkhouse. C06KodlakCanBeCured When are you going to take me away from here Bolli? C06KodlakCanBeCured Is it really me, or is it your wife? You need to make a choice Bolli. The honey or her. C06KodlakCanBeCured Haelga! That's just it. I can't keep up with you. Your Dibellan techniques... they're exhausting. C06KodlakCanBeCured Oh, Bolli you silly man. You weren't saying that when you were licking that honey off my... C06KodlakCanBeCured Haelga, we need to stop seeing each other. C06KodlakCanBeCured It's not about the coin, it's about honoring your legacy by picking up arms and keeping this land free. C06KodlakCanBeCured The sooner you remember that, the better. C06KodlakCanBeCured I'll pay you back, if it means that much. C06KodlakCanBeCured The only reason you have the gold for your "business" is because I gave it to you. C06KodlakCanBeCured I'm sorry you disapprove, father. But I've made up my mind. I'm not a warrior, I'm a businessman. C06KodlakCanBeCured We take our leave. C06KodlakCanBeCured We take our leave. C06KodlakCanBeCured We take our leave. C06KodlakCanBeCured We take our leave. C06KodlakCanBeCured And for ourselves... C06KodlakCanBeCured We shout. C06KodlakCanBeCured We shout. C06KodlakCanBeCured We shout. C06KodlakCanBeCured We shout. C06KodlakHeyImAGhostBranchTopic Of course. My fellow Harbingers and I have been warming ourselves here. Trying to evade Hircine. C06KodlakSeeYaLaterBranchTopic And so slain the beast inside of me. C06KodlakSeeYaLaterBranchTopic I thank you for this gift. The other Harbingers remain trapped by Hircine, though. C06KodlakSeeYaLaterBranchTopic Perhaps from Sovngarde, the heroes of old can join me in their rescue. The Harrowing of the Hunting Grounds. It would be a battle of such triumph. C06KodlakSeeYaLaterBranchTopic And perhaps some day, you'll join us in that battle. But for today, return to Jorrvaskr. Triumph in your victory. C06KodlakSeeYaLaterBranchTopic And lead the Companions to further glory. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Hmm. The gate below still looks closed. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic I've seen a puzzle like this before... there's got to be another lever to pull, but you'd better hurry. A septim says this mechanism's on a timer. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Get the damn Key and let's get out of here before we end up like Mercer! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic You can't kill what you can't see! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic I've mastered the shadows... and now your life is mine! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Come, "Nightingale!" Find me if you can! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Karliah's taught you nothing! Your lessons begin anew! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic I should've finished you when I had the chance! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Karliah, I'll deal with you after I rid myself of your irksome companions. In the meantime, perhaps you and Brynjolf should get better acquainted. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic You cannot escape me! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Hiding will not save you now. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic There could be no other end. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic No match at all. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic You meet your end, mortal. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Another who seeks death. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Quiet again. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Nothing after all. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic No one escapes! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic There you are, weakling! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic I smell weakness... C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic A challenger is near... C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Now you suffer! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic You return, foolish mortal? C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Gah! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Nargh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Unf! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Nnh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Are you prepared for your death? C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic You are weak, mortal. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic I honor my lord by destroying you! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic I will feast on your heart. C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Agh... C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Ugh... C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Gah... C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic No... not by a mortal... C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic It cannot... end like this... C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Aggh... C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Hhyyaarargghhhh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Rrrraaaaarrggghhhh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Nnyyyaarrgghh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Agh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Oof! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Nargh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Yeagh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Hunh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Gah! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Yah! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Rargh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Yearrgh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Hyargh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Rrarggh! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Oblivion take you! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Fall before me! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic You will bleed! C06PostQuestAelaFGBranchTopic Grrragh! C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic I knew I heard something. What's this bridge doing down? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic So, stop your worrying and get some rest. Your shift is coming up and I don't want you dozing off again like last time. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic This again? I told you we have someone standing guard out there. And, don't forget the rock trap we rigged up. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Aren't you worried someone will wander in here? The entrance isn't exactly hidden you know. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic And that's exactly what the old man wanted. I'm glad we could give it to him. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic He's not a werewolf any more? Even dead? This is a good thing! C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Yes, you brought honor to him, even after his death. A worthy outcome for a worthy warrior. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Ah, I can't reveal all my secrets to you. But rest assured, I would know. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic But how would you know it's real? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Eh. I try not to trouble myself with stories of the outside world. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Now if someone brings me a dragon scale, that's a different story. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Calixto, do you know if there's any truth to these rumors of dragons? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Think about how ridiculous that sounds. Come now. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic But they're saying that one of them freed Ulfric... that he's in league with them. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Elda, you know better than to believe every idiot traveler that wanders through. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Captain, have you heard these stories of dragons? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic I don't suppose we would ever really trust the thing anyway. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic I'm not saying it wouldn't be useful. But there are better uses of our resources right now. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic But just think of the advantage. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic I'm fairly sure that the dragons don't care about our matters one way or the other. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Do you think we could persuade one of the dragons to join our side? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic I am Lu'ah Al-Skaven. Who are you to disrupt my work? Begone, or I will add you to my army of the dead! C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Good. If Riften should fall, it's only right that its leader be spared. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Yes, milady. I've also taken the liberty in preparing a private carriage... just in case. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic I want you to speak to the city guard. Make sure there's a contingency plan in effect in case Riften falls under attack. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Yes, milady. That unpleasantness at Helgen supposedly involved a dragon. It killed several soldiers before it departed. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Have our scouts come up with any information on these reports of dragons? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Tythis, please. The Snow-Shods are good people, but tend to exaggerate. Try and stay calm for your own sake. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic But I've heard from the Snow-Shods that they intend to burn this place to the ground! C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic They aren't invading, milord... it's simply a response to Ulfric and his Stormcloaks. I assure you everything will be fine. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Madesi, have you heard the Imperials might be headed this way? What would we do? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic We hold each other close and hope that all of this ends well. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic What should we do? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic I don't know what to believe. If it's true, then dark times may be upon us. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Talen, do you believe what they're saying? Do you really think the dragons have returned? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic See if you can unlock that door. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Did you find a key? See if it unlocks that door. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Unlock that door and let's get out of here. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic You have your orders. Rendezvous with the rest of the men outside Korvanjund. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic What did you need, soldier? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Good work! Lucky we had you with us today. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Must be here somewhere. Keep looking. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Draugr. Dammit. I hate those things. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Be careful, friend. This place doesn't seem too... forgiving. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Maybe that claw has a clue on it? You know, how to set the rings so the door will open. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Stick close. This place gives me the creeps. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic All for some old crown? It's a strange war all right. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic The Stormcloaks will never stop us. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic So far so good. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Don't wait for me. Get to Korvanjund as soon as you're ready. I'll meet you there. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Keep looking. Someone's here, I can feel it. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic No, haven't seen anyone. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic Anything? C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic We did! Keep your eyes peeled. I don't think we're alone. You check the entrance. I'm going to look over here. C06PostQuestKodlakCuredBranchTopic I thought we had a guard posted outside. C06PostQuestSoDoYouWannaGetOutOfHereBranchTopic Eventually. But this... this is the Tomb of Ysgramor. I think I'm just going to... commune for a bit. C06PostQuestSoDoYouWannaGetOutOfHereBranchTopic This place is worthy of some time. You go on ahead. I'll see you back there. C06PostQuestSoDoYouWannaGetOutOfHereBranchTopic I go where my brother goes. I think he wants to look around some more. C06PostQuestSoDoYouWannaGetOutOfHereBranchTopic Not right now. I'm going to look at some of these carvings. I wonder if Ysgramor ever set foot here while he was alive. C06PostQuestSoDoYouWannaGetOutOfHereBranchTopic But you don't have to stay, if you don't want to. I'll see you back at Jorrvaskr. Stories to tell the others, eh? C06PostQuestSoImInChargeNowHuhBranchTopic I'll be honest, I wouldn't have expected it. C06PostQuestSoImInChargeNowHuhBranchTopic But that may just be because I remember when you were just a whelp who was begging to join. C06PostQuestSoImInChargeNowHuhBranchTopic The old man trusted you, so I'll trust you. C06PostQuestSoImInChargeNowHuhBranchTopic Oh, you don't have to worry about any problems from me. I do what I'm told. Congratulations! C06PostQuestSoImInChargeNowHuhBranchTopic If you had told me a few months ago that some outsider I had never heard of would lead the Companions, I might have slit your throat. C06PostQuestSoImInChargeNowHuhBranchTopic But I've seen what you can do. And heard of the love that Kodlak had for you. The trust. C06PostQuestSoImInChargeNowHuhBranchTopic Let's hope you can show that his heart was not deceived. Good luck, my friend. C06SharedInfos Not now. C06SharedInfos This isn't a good time. C06UhDudeTheresNobodyHere You see only me because your heart knows only me as the Companions leader. C06UhDudeTheresNobodyHere I'd wager old Vignar could see half a dozen of my predecessors. C06UhDudeTheresNobodyHere And I see them all. The ones in Sovngarde. The ones trapped with me in Hircine's realm. C06UhDudeTheresNobodyHere And they all see you. You've brought honor to the name of the Companions. We won't soon forget it. C06VilkasIfGreeting This is the resting place of Ysgramor. And his most trusted generals. You should be cautious. C06VilkasOutsideTombBranchTopic Return Wuuthrad to Ysgramor. It should open the way. C06VilkasOutsideTombBranchTopic For the fallen... C06VilkasOutsideTombBranchTopic We grieve. C06VilkasOutsideTombBranchTopic We grieve. C06VilkasOutsideTombBranchTopic We grieve. C06VilkasOutsideTombBranchTopic Before the ancient flame... C06VilkasSceneLine1 The old man had one wish before he died. And he didn't get it. It's as simple as that. C06VilkasSceneLine2 That's fine for you. But he wanted to be clean. C06VilkasSceneLine2 He wanted to meet Ysgramor and know the glories of Sovngarde. But all that was taken from him. C06VilkasSceneLine3 No, Farkas, he didn't. And that's not what this is about. C06VilkasSceneLine3 We should be honoring Kodlak, no matter our own thoughts on the blood. C06VilkasSceneLine4 Kodlak used to speak of a way to cleanse his soul, even in death. C06VilkasSceneLine4 You know the legends of the Tomb of Ysgramor. C06VilkasSceneLine5 Is that? Did you repair the blade? C06VilkasWaitWhatGeneralsWoah The original Companions. Their finest warriors rest with Ysgramor. You'll have to prove yourselves to them. C06VilkasWaitWhatGeneralsWoah It's not that you're intruding. I'd wager they've actually expected us. C06VilkasWaitWhatGeneralsWoah They just want to be sure that you're worthy. Be ready for an honorable battle. C06VilkasWaitWhatGeneralsWoah I'll do it. C06VilkasWaitWhatGeneralsWoah Who will start? C06VilkasWimp Kodlak was right. I let vengeance rule my heart. C06VilkasWimp I regret nothing of what we did at Driftshade. But I can't go any further with my mind fogged or my heart grieved. CantBeHelped It can't be helped. CaravanGoodbyes May your road lead you to warm sands. CaravanGoodbyes I hope that you will come to do business with us again. CaravanGoodbyes May the sun keep you warm even in this land of bitter cold. CaravanGoodbyes Until our next meeting, if such is fated. CaravanGoodbyes I hope you will find a warmer welcome in your travels than we have found in ours. CaravanGoodbyes The roads of Skyrim can be treacherous. If you must walk them, be wary. CaravanIdles Tools, wares and weapons, all for sale at fair prices. CaravanIdles Goods and wares of all kinds, and all can be yours! CaravanIdles Come! Come and see what goods I offer. CaravanIdles Far have I traveled to bring you these fine goods. Come and see what I offer. CaravansAhkariTopicCriminalsTopic Mostly it is the Nords. They do not like outsiders in their land, and so we are forbidden to enter the cities. CaravansAhkariTopicCriminalsTopic When they look upon us, they see only pickpockets and skooma dealers. It is most unfair, but we do our best to ignore them. CaravansAhkariTopicSkyrimTopic Not long, in truth. I came to Skyrim after I found myself unwelcome in both Elsweyr and Cyrodiil. CaravansAhkariTopicSkyrimTopic I seem to have an unfortunate talent for getting myself involved in misunderstandings with the law. CaravansAhkariTopicSkyrimTopic Ri'saad was able to look past that, and it was he who helped to set me up with a trade caravan. Now I work for him. CaravansMadranTopicRisaad2Topic It is Ri'saad who owns the three trading caravans that travel the roads of Skyrim. CaravansMadranTopicRisaad2Topic Long ago, I was an orphan on the streets of Corinthe. I stowed away aboard a trade ship that brought me here. It was Ri'saad who found me. CaravansMadranTopicRisaad2Topic He provided the funds to start this caravan, and put me in charge of it. I owe him more than I could ever hope to repay. CaravansMadranTopicRisaadTopic He hired the others and paid for my goods. I am allowed to run the caravan, but I pay Ri'saad a percentage of my profits. CaravansMadranTopicRisaadTopic I say this without bitterness, for it was Ri'saad who saved me from a life of servitude aboard a trading ship. CaravansMadranTopicRisaadTopic I am grateful to have the life that I do now. It is a far cry from my days as an orphan on the streets of Corinthe. CaravansMadranTopicWarTopic Quite the opposite, in fact. CaravansMadranTopicWarTopic The soldiers are some of our best customers, for we offer supplies and wares they cannot obtain by other means. CaravansMadranTopicWarTopic It was Ri'saad's idea to come here now, while the land is in turmoil. Where others saw only danger, he saw opportunity. CaravansTopicCaravanTopic An astute question, for we are far from home and this is a cold, hard land. CaravansTopicCaravanTopic The wise trader finds the best opportunities, even if he must travel far to find them. Skyrim is a ripe opportunity indeed. CaravansTopicCaravanTopic The dragons and the war have scared many other traders away, but for those with courage, there is much profit to be made. CaravansTopicKhajiitTopic The Khajiit hail from a distant land called Elsweyr, bordered on the north by Cyrodiil and the south by the glistening blue waters of the sea. CaravansTopicKhajiitTopic Elsweyr is an arid land of deserts and rocky canyons, where the sun shines warmly, always. CaravansTopicKhajiitTopic There are cities so ancient, the sands have swallowed them whole. But now I will say no more, for I miss my home greatly. CaravansTopicsKharjo1Topic Skyrim is filled with all manner of dangerous beasts. CaravansTopicsKharjo1Topic Wolves, trolls, mammoths and giants would all like to make a meal of us. CaravansTopicsKharjo1Topic But the dragons are the most fearsome. Lucky for us, they don't seem to hunt along the roads. CaravansTopicsKharjo1Topic Troll's blood! It's a torture room. CaravansTopicsKharjo1Topic The torture room. Gods, I wish we didn't need these.... CaravansTopicsKharjoTopic Yes, I was hired to protect the others as we walk the roads of Skyrim. CaravansTopicsKharjoTopic It is a thankless task and I would rather be back home in Elsweyr, but I have little choice. CaravansTopicsKharjoTopic Ahkari freed me from a prison in Cyrodiil, and now I must repay my debt to him. CaravansTopicsKharjoTopic A word of advice, my friend -- do not mix gambling and drink. Taken together, they will empty your pockets of every septim. CiceroNightMotherRespondTopic1 She... spoke to you? More treachery! More trickery and deceit! You lie! The Night Mother speaks only to the Listener! CiceroNightMotherRespondTopic1 And there is... no... Listener! CiceroNightMotherRespondTopic2 She... she said that? She said those words... to you? "Darkness rises when silence dies"? CiceroNightMotherRespondTopic2 But those are the words. The Binding Words. Written in the Keeping Tomes. The signal so I would know. Mother's only way of talking to sweet Cicero... CiceroNightMotherRespondTopic2 Then... it is true! She is back! Our Lady is back! She has chosen a Listener! She has chosen you! Ha ha ha! All hail the Listener! CiceroNightMotherRespondTopic2 Have you scried anything new in the entrails? CiceroNightMotherRespondTopic2 They squander their father's love. We can't dally this time. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic What? What treachery! Defiler! Debaser and defiler! You have violated the sanctity of the Night Mother's coffin! Explain yourself! CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Speak, worm! CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Yes, you. You, who shares my iron tomb, who warms my ancient bones. I give you this task - journey to Volunruud. Speak with Amaund Motierre. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Oh, but how can I defend you? How can I exert your will? If you will not speak? To anyone! CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic They are good, loyal children. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Yes, you've made that quite clear in the past. And now we have Urog and Dushnamub because of your weakness. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Is there... something else you need? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic You are the Listener! You are the Listener! I have served mother well, I have! CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Once she's with child, I will not harm her. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic If he does show up with a bride, we'll have to move quickly. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic That wasn't what I meant. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic True... we could simply make sure she never reaches Narzulbur. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Please, let's not have it come to that. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic No matter. You'll take care of things like you always have. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic He's lonely. What do you expect? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic I hear Mauhulakh is wandering again. He's after a new woman. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic There has to be more to it than that, though. I wish I knew where the bees got it from. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Better honey? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic I've been trying to figure out what makes Riften mead better than the stuff from Whiterun. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic I know all there is to know about the drinking of it, and that suits me just fine. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic How much do you know about the brewing of mead? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Oh, you old charmer. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic That's just it... if she's not happy, there are plenty of other women who will be. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic I think this is yet another conversation that wouldn't make your wife happy. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Who says I've settled down? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Oh, I'm not sure I could ever settle down like you have, friend. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic So, Roggi, when are you going to get yourself a woman? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Eh, let her get upset. She'll be angry no matter what I say, might as well enjoy myself. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic I get it. It's funny. It just might upset your wife. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic But don't you get it? She thought he was a troll! CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic I'm not sure that's a good joke to tell with women present... CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Well, that's the good and the bad of it. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic He takes after his father, and she takes after you. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Oh, you know. Little Kjeld is a handful, and Froa is just so quiet. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic How are the little ones? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Ah, but I can do that right here. Right now! CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Maybe you could be a taster or something. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Oh, I wouldn't be able to help them. Their skills were given by the Divines. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic If you like mead so much, why not go live in Riften? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Of course! You can't make good mead without happy honey! CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Do the bees need to be happy? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic All the apiaries... it will take years to get those bees happy again. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Did something happen to it? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Have you heard about Goldenglow Meadery? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic We'll see. CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic So can I come? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic Oh, really? CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic I can do that! I did it yesterday! CiceroNightMotherSpeechBranchTopic When you're able to draw a bow all the way to your shoulder. CidhnaMineBlockingTopic All right, prisoner. Eyes front. You're in Cidhna Mine, now. And we expect you to earn your keep. CidhnaMineBlockingTopic There's no resting your hide in a cell in this prison. Here, you work. You'll mine ore until you start throwing up silver bars. CidhnaMineBlockingTopic You got it? CidhnaMineBlockingTopic I said get down there. Now. CidhnaMineBlockingTopic The finest jewelry in all of Markarth. CidhnaMineBlockingTopic Redguard craftsmanship in every piece. CidhnaMineBlockingTopic The bloodiest beef in the Reach. CidhnaMineBlockingTopic You want a cut of venison or mutton? Of course you do. CidhnaMineJailEventSceneUrzogaAgreeTopic Good. CidhnaMineJailEventSceneUrzogaDisagreeTopic Don't get smart with me. I'm in charge. You keep it up, I'll have your toes cut off. CidhnaMineJailEventSceneUrzogaQuestion You won't. The Jarl has ordered a life sentence for you. Get comfortable in the dark, 'cause you'll never see the sun again. CidhnaMineJailEventSceneUrzogaQuestion You'll pay off your debt to the Reach. Just work and you'll earn your freedom. CidhnaMineUraccenShared01 Violent one, huh? Best keep that to yourself, new blood. Others find out, they'll consider that a challenge. CommandedGroanInfo Uhhh. CommandedHello Release...me. CommandedHello Until then, I've no ale for you. CommandedHello I'll find some coin for you. I always do. CommandedHello I've got a bad feeling about this. CommandedHello Dragonborn, do whatever you're going to do!

CommandedHello I will conquer where Alduin failed. CommandedHello Can the sawmill handle those logs? They look a might big. CommandedHello I claim the glory of your defeat, Dovahkiin! CommandedHello Just never you mind about that. CommandedHello Your Thu'um is strong, Dovahkiin. But not strong enough! CommandedHello And speaking of spoiling Dorthe, who made her a new doll last week? CommandedHello Ay, it is. I suppose it won't hurt the girl to eat it this once. CommandedHello Thu'um wah Thu'um! CommandedHello She needs to learn to eat what I serve her. I swear, you spoil that child rotten. Besides, it's one of your favorites. CommandedHello Hold your fire until he's close!

CommandedHello The Jarl's down! CommandedHello Why are we doing this again? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit All right, you want to go? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Watch it, there, brother. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Watch it, there, sister. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Do not worry, my friend. All is well. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit So, the same then. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit The visions continue to hold me in balance, Gorm. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit How are you feeling, Jarl Idgrod? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Yes, okay. Well thank you. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit No, Gorm. I am simply telling you what I see. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit No, no. I'm fine. Is there something you need? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit You are troubled, Gorm. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit All things are possible, my child. But I believe it is within you to succeed. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Have you... Do you see that future? Will I be a good leader? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit That is what the Divines have planned for you, yes. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit I will be Jarl someday, mother? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit No, no. Just watch over him. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit What sort of harm? Have you had a vision? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Good. He must be kept safe from harm. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Yes, mother. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit You are looking after your brother, yes? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Don't believe everything you hear, child. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Okay. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit It's not true, I assure you. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit I don't know. Someone in town said it. CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit What? Where did you hear such a thing? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Is it true that you kill deer and eat their hearts? CompanionsBrawlingQuestHit Why, good evening Jonna! CompanionsHellos Some nights I dream about the mists of Sovngarde. CompanionsHellos When you get to be my age, you'll come to miss the smell of blood. Strange, I know. CompanionsHellos How goes the hunting, brother? CompanionsHellos How goes the hunting, sister? CompanionsHellos A stranger comes to our hall. CompanionsHellos Greetings outsider. If you have some business here, speak it. CompanionsHellos Are you still here? CompanionsHellos Let's not waste too much time talking when there is glory to be had. CompanionsHellos Get a move on. CompanionsHellos Haven't seen your face before. I'm watching you. CompanionsHellos This is a place for warriors, new blood. What brings you here? CompanionsHellos You still need to prove yourself, whelp. CompanionsHellos You might make a decent Companion yet. CompanionsHellos Are you looking for help with something? This is a busy time. CompanionsHellos This had better be important. CompanionsHellos You again? CompanionsHellos What now? CompanionsHellos I can't keep helping you with everything. CompanionsHellos Blood on the wind today. Good hunt ahead of us. CompanionsHellos Do you have guidance for me, Harbinger? CompanionsHellos I've been running interference for you around here. I don't think anyone's caught on to our little campaign. Yet. CompanionsHellos Have you been bringing the battle to the Silver Hand, friend? I wish I could be there with you. Soon enough. CompanionsHellos I hope the hunting goes well, sister. We've got the cowards on their heels now. CompanionsHellos I hope the hunting goes well, brother. We've got the cowards on their heels now. CompanionsHellos I've heard you may actually be stronger than you look. Perhaps we can hunt together someday. CompanionsHellos Don't let them intimidate you, sister. We both know how to keep our heads while the men let their hearts rule. CompanionsHellos It's good to have another quick-eyed Shield-Sister in the hall. Come to me with any troubles. CompanionsHellos If you wish to hunt with me, your feet need to be quick, and your eyes quicker. CompanionsHellos Ysgramor himself wouldn't have the patience to deal with all the rabble around here. CompanionsHellos Are you on the hunt? CompanionsHellos Blood running hot? CompanionsHellos You look strong. Come to Jorrvaskr and be a Companion! CompanionsHellos Vilkas said you are the new Kodlak. I don't know what that means, but you seem honorable, so that's good. CompanionsHellos Skjor says that I have the strength of Ysgramor, and my brother has his smarts. CompanionsHellos Some people don't think I'm smart. Those people get my fist. But you, I like. CompanionsHellos You are new here. I don't trust the new. CompanionsHellos My brother Vilkas is a better talker than me. He should be around someplace. CompanionsHellos I'm here to help. CompanionsHellos Thinking I need to train some more. CompanionsHellos Getting tired of hanging around talking all day. CompanionsHellos I wouldn't have expected someone like you to be the Harbinger, but Kodlak trusted your judgment. And so will I. CompanionsHellos Come to me with questions. I know our history almost as well as Vignar by now. Except I can remember it. CompanionsHellos What brings you to me? Find some strange creature in your travels? CompanionsHellos I think by now I've killed one of every living thing in Skyrim. May be time for a trip to Morrowind. CompanionsHellos Great, another ambitious visitor. You think you can just wander in here and join us? CompanionsHellos Did you just wander in out of the white? CompanionsHellos I suppose you have another question? CompanionsHellos What is it now? CompanionsHellos You're a talkative one, aren't you. CompanionsHellos I swear, every wanderer who shows up in Whiterun looks weaker than the last. CompanionsHellos I always thought the new Harbinger would be taller, myself. CompanionsHellos Ah, fresh blood. Hope you know how to handle yourself. CompanionsHellos I never thought they would actually let me join the Companions. But now it looks like they're letting anyone in these days. CompanionsHellos I avoid going to Eastmarch if I can. Something in the air... I think it's just too close to the border. CompanionsHellos Are you thinking you're better than me? I crawled west out of the wasteland, so show some respect. CompanionsHellos We are all Ashlanders now, brother. Good to find another family that cares where they came from, eh? CompanionsHellos To what do I owe the honor? CompanionsHellos Look, I've got training to get to. CompanionsHellos You don't belong here. What do you think you have to offer? CompanionsHellos I'm still trying to figure out why Skjor let you in in the first place. CompanionsHellos If the Circle vouches for you, I'm sworn to respect their judgment. But that doesn't mean I like it. CompanionsHellos What guidance could you offer me? CompanionsHellos What now? CompanionsHellos Oh, it's you. CompanionsHellos Fight with us and you'll have stories to tell. Come up to Jorrvaskr if you're worth anything in a fight. CompanionsHellos Here to be a Companion? Well, they just let me in, so there's probably no more room. CompanionsHellos I was the newest Companion, until you came along. I guess that's ok. Just means I can show you the ropes! CompanionsHellos Oh, hey there. I killed a bear yesterday. Did you kill anything? CompanionsHellos Good to have some fresh eyes up there at the top. I follow your lead, Harbinger. CompanionsHellos Oh, got more to say? CompanionsHellos What's on your mind? CompanionsHellos Oh, so you're the one in charge now? Fine, fine. CompanionsHellos I haven't seen you before. Have I? Have we met? I'm sorry if I've forgotten. CompanionsHellos The latest recruit! Right? Wait, is that right? CompanionsHellos Might head down to the meadery later. See what they're brewing up. You can smell the honey on the wind. CompanionsHellos What do you want from me, now? CompanionsHellos You're a talker, eh? CompanionsHellos What are you on about? Let's just get the treasure here and go. CompanionsHellos This is it! Gathrik awaits us! CompanionsHellos I'm sorry, but you're not leaving alive. CompanionsHellos Let me know as soon as you've found anything. CompanionsHellos Be careful who you talk to. CompanionsHellos Keep your eyes and ears open. CompanionsHellos I should never have come to Markarth. CompanionsHellos What's happening to this city? CompanionsHellos This has ruined my entire day. CompanionsHellos I hope your stay in Markarth treats you better. CompanionsHellos Need to get going. What is it? CompanionsHellos New to Markarth? CompanionsHellos I'm shopping. Excuse me. CompanionsHellos Oh it's you. The one from the market. CompanionsHellos I'm sorry, I'm still a bit dizzy from everything. CompanionsHellos The Treasury House is really just for patrons of the Silver-Blood family. You don't belong here. CompanionsHellos I'm sorry. We're only interested in helping our patrons. CompanionsHellos I work for the Silver-Bloods. Help clean. CompanionsHellos Just here to work. CompanionsHellos Looks like you weren't followed. Good. CompanionsHellos Once you've found out anything, come straight to me. CompanionsHellos City's got eyes. Be careful when you're out there. CompanionsHellos Don't rush ahead. This is a trap if I ever saw one. CompanionsHellos Would you look at that! CompanionsHit Argh! CompanionsHit Uf! CompanionsHit Yergh! CompanionsHit Egh! CompanionsHit Oof! CompanionsSingleCombatQuestVictoryTopic You fight well, brother. CompanionsSingleCombatQuestVictoryTopic You fight well, sister. CompanionsTaunt By Ysgramor! CompanionsTaunt For honor! CompanionsTaunt Glory awaits! CR00DoubleRejectionInfo You've already turned down a job that I had for you.

CR05EndQuestBranchTopic And I have already received word that the client is satisfied. You have done well for yourself, and for the Companions. CR05EndQuestBranchTopic Another job well done. Your payment is secure, and you have my thanks. CR05EndQuestBranchTopic I expected no less of you. And once again, you have not disappointed. CR05EnemyTypeTopic Nothing but a bunch of lowly bandits. Cowards, who will take little effort. CR05EnemyTypeTopic The restless dead. Not pretty, but if you don't stop them, they'll move on to the locals. CR05EnemyTypeTopic The Falmer. There have been reports that they've been attacking people at night. CR05EnemyTypeTopic It's a problem with the Forsworn. Unpredictable, unknowable, and dangerous. Be careful. CR05EnemyTypeTopic It's a clan of giants. The war is driving them out of their lands, and they've started attacking settlements. CR05EnemyTypeTopic You'll be clearing a nest of those Hagraven things. I've never faced one myself, but I hear... disturbing things about them. CR05EnemyTypeTopic Oddly enough, Spriggans. Usually they let alone, but for some reason, this particular grove isn't. CR05EnemyTypeTopic Bloodsuckers. Vampires. Take every precaution. One bite, and you could end up as one of them. CR05EnemyTypeTopic Rogue wizards. I've never trusted magic types. The College is bad enough. Destroy them. CR05IntroBranch There's some trouble in Eastmarch. Farmers getting troubled by some bad types who've built up a stronghold in the area. CR05IntroBranch There's some trouble in Falkreath. There's always some sort of trouble down there, but now it's come to a head. CR05IntroBranch There's some trouble in Haafingar. The Legion's too busy with the war, and they're hiring us to take care of their problems. CR05IntroBranch We've been hired to deal with some pests in Hjaalmarch. Someone's got them riled up, and you need to put an end to it. CR05IntroBranch There's some trouble in The Pale. We need you to go in and clear out an enemy stronghold. CR05IntroBranch There's always some sort of trouble in The Reach, but a local warlord has raised the stakes. We have to handle the situation. CR05IntroBranch The Rift is seeing a lot of trouble from some riff-raff. We need to head in and break them up. CR05IntroBranch We've got trouble right here in Whiterun Hold. Nothing we can't handle. CR05IntroBranch There's trouble up in Winterhold. I'm a little surprised anyone's complaining about it, but money is money. CR05TakeTheJob I knew you could be counted on. Do what must be done. CR05TakeTheJob Excellent. Show them no mercy. CR05TakeTheJob Good. Do not spare them your blade. CR05TurnDownJob Shame. But, I'm sure one of the whelps around here will take it up. CR06GetQuestTopic We have a bit of a sensitive matter this time. CR06GetQuestTopic A wealthy family has... misplaced one of their heirlooms. CR06GetQuestTopic Just in time. I was worried I'd have to do this myself. CR06GetQuestTopic Some rich folk had a trinket stolen and they want us to get it back. CR06GotTheThingTopic Give it here. They've asked for the utmost discretion on this matter, so I'll make sure it gets to them. CR06GotTheThingTopic Here's your share of their reward. CR06GotTheThingTopic And it looks undamaged. They'll be pleased, I'm sure. And we're pleased with their money. CR06GotTheThingTopic Nice work with this one. You make us all proud. CR06StartContinuation I tell you this province is losing its grip. The bandits become more brazen every day. CR06StartContinuation Some don't even believe they exist, but the Falmer can be devious. Tunneling into homes, stealing off with valuables. CR06StartContinuation Those hill people who call themselves "the Forsworn" show no mercy. CR06StartContinuation Giants don't usually cause problems like this, but these ones are stirred up for some reason. CR06StartContinuation The rumors say the culprits are vampires. I try not to listen to swaggle like that, but figured you should know. CR06StartContinuation Of course, it's a group of wizards they're pointing their fingers at. Who knows what they want it for, but we want it back. CR06TakeJob Good, good. These aren't the most glorious jobs, but they pay well. CR06TakeJob Move quickly so we can have this over and done with. CR06TakeJob We're trusting you on this one. Bring honor to the Companions. CR06TurnDownJob Can't say I blame you. I'll find someone to take care of it. CR06TurnDownJob Not the response I was hoping for, but suit yourself. CR07EndQuestBranchTopic Bit by bit, we bring honor to this land. And you've brought honor to the Companions. More importantly, some gold. CR07EndQuestBranchTopic Another job well done. Your payment is secure, and you have my thanks. CR07StartBranchTopic It sounds like Eastmarch is too busy with their war to keep their own prisoners in line. CR07StartBranchTopic The braggarts in the Reach always claim that no prisoner escapes their mine. CR07StartBranchTopic What you don't hear about are the ones who break off from escorts on the way to Markarth. CR07StartBranchTopic Haafingar seems to have trouble keeping their prisoners in line. CR07StartBranchTopic I'm sorry to have to send you to Hjaalmarch. I can't stand the smell of it myself. CR07StartBranchTopic But it seems their criminals can't either and just want to get out. CR07StartBranchTopic It seems that law-breakers in the Pale have no desire to stay there. I don't blame them. CR07StartBranchTopic The idiots in Falkreath still think the best place for prisoners is that hole in the ground. CR07StartBranchTopic No surprise, but one of them's gotten out. Again. CR07StartBranchTopic The so-called prison in Riften leaks like one of their fishnets. This is what happens when you let thieves run your town. CR07StartBranchTopic The prisoners just walk right out. CR07StartBranchTopic One of the guards from Dragonsreach came to me, worried about a prisoner who's escaped. CR07StartBranchTopic The Jarl has too much on his mind right now, we won't be troubling him with this. CR07StartBranchTopic The snowberries up in Winterhold have lowered themselves to ask for our help. CR07StartBranchTopic For some reason they just throw their lawbreakers out into the sea and think that ends the problem. CR07StartBranchTopic But every now and then, one swims back. CR07StartContinuation One of them's escaped, and you're going to find that coward. CR07StartContinuationPartDeux At this point they don't care what happens to him and neither do I. Best to just kill him and be done with it. CR07StartContinuationPartDeux At this point they don't care what happens to her and neither do I. Best to just kill her and be done with it. CR07TakeTheJob Be careful. This man is known to be dangerous. CR07TakeTheJob Be careful. This woman is known to be dangerous. CR07TurnDownJob We choose our battles, and you've chosen yours. Someone else can take care of it. CR08FinishQuestBranchTopic Unfortunate. Let's be more careful next time. CR08FinishQuestBranchTopic So I hear. You've brought honor to the Companions and yourself. CR08GivingQuestBranchTopic We've received a desperate missive. CR08Hellos Please get me home! CR08Hellos Are you here to save me? CR08IntroContinuation A citizen of the Pale has been kidnapped.

I shudder to think what might happen if you're too late. CR08VictimThanksLetsGoNowPlzTopic Thank the Divines! Let's move! CR08VictimYayIAmHomeNowKThxBaiTopic I'm ever so grateful. Please, give my regard to the rest of the Companions. CR09ComingBackTopic Excellent. Looks like you've really driven them into hiding. Keep this up. We'll wipe them out, yet.

CR10StartBranchTopic I've caught wind that one of the brighter Silver Hand has been sniffing around Eastmarch.

CR11ComingBackTopic Another piece of glory. Good work, Shield-Sister. CR11GoGetEmTigerErIMeanWolf Get it back, for the honor of us all. CR11LocationTopic One group has hidden out in the Reach.

CR12AelaPostQuestTopic I don't know what we do with it now. Maybe you can figure it out. CR12AelaTotemFound Do you have it? CR12FindTotemTopic That definitely matches the description of the totem from Skjor's old book. Let's get it to the Underforge. CR12FindTotemTopic That's it! That's the second Totem. Quickly, let's put it back with the other one. CR12FindTotemTopic At last... the final Totem is ours. Let's go complete our set. CR12FindTotemTopic Just shut up and keep out of sight. CR12FindTotemTopic Hardly likely. CR12Hellos Let's find that Totem, Shield-Brother. CR12Hellos Let's find that Totem, Shield-Sister. CR12Hellos Hircine will bless us for finding his Totem. CR12Hellos The spirit of Skjor is with us on this errand. I feel him. CR12Hellos This is not the time for talk. Let's get to the Underforge and see what this can do. CR12LetsGo We hunt together. CR12NahNotForMe And here I figured you as one who enjoyed our special gifts. CR12NahNotForMe I guess I was wrong. CR12QuestStartBranchTopic Harbinger, I'd be honored if you joined me in my search. CR12StartContinuation I had once heard Skjor and Kodlak talking about the Totems of Hircine. CR12StartContinuation Simple-looking objects that could channel the powers of the werewolf in new directions. CR12StartContinuation Once Kodlak began looking for his cure, I'd wager Skjor didn't bring it up again. CR12StartContinuation But I was going through his things and found a book I had never seen before. All about the Totems. CR12StartContinuation I've been talking to my sources around the holds, and think I may have heard where one of them lives. CR12StartContinuation I think I've located another one of the Totems. Come with me, and we'll write ourselves into their history. CR12StartContinuation I've finally tracked down the last of the Totems, I think. CR12StartContinuation The information wasn't easy to come by, but everyone has a price. And a pain threshold. CR12StartContinuationPartDeux Want to come along? CR13FarkasWakeUp It's like relaxing into a warm mug of spiced mead. I'm losing aches I didn't know I had. CR13FarkasWakeUp This is how a warrior should feel. Alive and aware. Not clouded with thoughts of the hunt. CR13FarkasWakeUp Thank you for your help. I'm going to stay in the tomb for a while. My shame kept me out before, but now I want to see it. CR13GotHeadTopic Did you take the head? CR13LetsDoItContinuation You still bear a head of the Glenmoril betrayers, yes? Then lead on, back to the Tomb of Ysgramor. CR13LetsDoItContinuation My soul is now prepared. CR13LetsDoItContinuation You still have one of the witch's heads. This is good. CR13LetsDoItContinuation Let's go to the Tomb. We can do the cleansing there. CR13LetsDoItContinuation Aela said that the cleansing used a head from one of the witches of Glenmoril, yes? CR13LetsDoItContinuation A strange kind of ritual, but I won't mind killing those wretched things. CR13LetsDoItContinuation Aela said we would need a Hagraven's head. I already have one of them, but she said it was a special kind. CR13LetsDoItContinuation And that you knew where to get more. Let's go find one! CR13PostCleanseFGTopic Is it over? CR13QuestStartTopic There is always work for the Companions. But there is more personal task before me. CR13QuestStartTopic Of course, there is always work. My mind is someplace else, though. CR13SighWhatIsIt Kodlak's final teaching. I think he was right about beastblood and Sovngarde. CR13SighWhatIsIt I wish to cleanse myself that I might know glory in the afterlife. CR13SighWhatIsIt I think that maybe Kodlak was right. As a werewolf, I can't be a good Nord. CR13SighWhatIsIt I want to be clean, like he was, and go to Sovngarde when I finally die. CR13VilkasWakeUp I... it's like waking up out of a dream. CR13VilkasWakeUp I can breathe more deeply now. I can't smell your heart beating the way I used to. But my mind is... clear. CR13VilkasWakeUp This is a great service you've done for me, Harbinger. I will not soon forget. CR13VilkasWakeUp Now... I'd like to spend some time communing with Ysgramor. My soul is clean now. Perhaps he'll still welcome me when my time comes. CR13WellGoodLuckWithAllThat Thank you, Harbinger. CR13WellLetsDoIt I would be honored for you to accompany me, Harbinger. CR13YupGotTheHead Lead on, to Ysgramor and glory. CR13YupGotTheHead This is good. Could you show the way to the tomb again? CR14AllThanksToYou Thank you, Harbinger. CR14AndTheyreSpectacular I envy you. Facing such a beast in combat. Smelling its blood on the air. That is what songs are sung about, Shield-Brother. CR14AndTheyreSpectacular I envy you. Facing such a beast in combat. Smelling its blood on the air. That is what songs are sung about, Shield-Sister. CR14AndTheyreSpectacular You are a very brave man. But I already knew that. CR14AndTheyreSpectacular You are a very brave woman. But I already knew that. CR14DragonKilledTopic Now that was a battle! CR14LetsGetBack I'm going to stay a while. Rest among these bones. This creature honored us with its life, and I will honor it with my respect. CR14LetsGetBack You go if you want to. I've never seen bones this large, and want to make sure I remember them so I can tell the story right. CR14LetsGetBack Otherwise Vilkas will just say I was making it up. CR14NoThanksToYou I am sorry if I disappointed, Harbinger. Still, the battle was won. CR14NoThanksToYou I will train better for the future. CR14QuestStartTopic I've been hearing stories about dragons. That they're back. That they can eat the sun out of the sky and freeze a man where he stands. CR14QuestStartTopic Have you seen one in your travels? CR14QuestStartTopic Travelers have been coming to Whiterun. They tell stories about dragons. CR14QuestStartTopic I've heard of them, but didn't think they were real. Have you ever seen one? CR14ThanksToYouContinuation For the glory of the Companions! For Ysgramor! CR14ThanksToYouContinuation We bring honor to the Companions. CR14ThatsYourProblemNotMine We don't all lead your life of grand adventure, Harbinger. CR14ThatsYourProblemNotMine Not at this rate. I'll just go back to clubbing horkers and scaring the debtors. CR14WhoKnows A sharp mind on you. We should find out for ourselves. CR14WhoKnows That is the kind of thing Kodlak used to say. And he was right. But still, I'd like to see for myself. CR14YouWannaGo Yes! I like the way you think. There are whispers of where we might find one, too. CR14YouWannaGo They say he killed twelve of the Imperial Legion and shattered their bones with his breath. CR14YouWannaGo I think you and I are worth about a dozen soldiers each. We'll send that beast back where it came from. CR14YouWannaGo Well, that's one way to find out if they're real. I even know where we might find one. Lead on! CRAelaAnimalYes1 Be cautious. Beasts are not nearly as predictable as men. Give the thing a quick death. CRAelaAnimalYes2 Good. I knew that we could count on you. It's simply a beast, but be cautious. The beasts of Skyrim are made of sterner stuff than most. CRAelaAnimalYes3 I knew we could count on you. Get it taken care of right away. Nobody wants an animal left roaming around in their place. CRAelaTurnDownCreature1 You're not afraid, are you? Of animals? Come back when you find your spine. CRAllTurnDown1 Unfortunate, but someone else will take care of it. CRAllTurnDown2 I see. Well, should you change your mind, the contract will be available for a while. CRAllTurnDown2 All right, so here you are. Looks like the others are eager to meet you. CRAllTurnDown2 Come to me or Aela if you're looking for work. CRAllTurnDown2 Once you've made a bit of a name for yourself, Skjor and Vilkas might have things for you to do. CRAllTurnDown2 Good luck. Welcome to the Companions. CRAllTurnDown2 The quarters are up here. Just pick a bed and fall in it when you're tired. CRAllTurnDown2 Tilma will keep the place clean. She always has. CRAllTurnDown2 Nice to have a new face around. It gets boring here sometimes. CRAllTurnDown2 I hope we keep you. This can be a rough life. CRAllTurnDown2 Skjor and Aela like to tease me, but they are good people. CRAllTurnDown2 They challenge us to be our best. CRAllTurnDown2 New blood? Oh, I remember you. Come on, follow me. CRAllTurnDown2 New blood? Oh, hello. I'm Farkas. Come, follow me. CRAllTurnDown2 Of course we did, icebrain. CRAllTurnDown2 Show this new blood where the rest of the whelps sleep. CRAllTurnDown2 Did you call me? CRAllTurnDown2 Farkas! CRNoWorkBranchTopic We don't just take in any milk drinker who stumbles in. Talk to Kodlak if you think you have what it takes to be a Companion. CRNoWorkBranchTopic I don't know if you're capable, and I don't have time to find out. If Kodlak will vouch for you, I might have some work you could do. CRNoWorkBranchTopic Kodlak is the one who figures out who can be a Companion. So talk to him. It's out of my hands. CRNoWorkBranchTopic So you think you have what it takes? Huh. Lucky for you, I'm not the one who makes that decision. Talk to Kodlak. CRNoWorkBranchTopic Who knows, maybe he's in a generous mood. CRNoWorkBranchTopic Aren't you already running a job for Aela? Come talk to me when you finish that up. CRNoWorkBranchTopic I've already given you a job, now get to it. CRNoWorkBranchTopic Aren't you already running a job for Farkas? Come talk to me when you finish that up. CRNoWorkBranchTopic I've already given you a job, now get to it. CRNoWorkBranchTopic Aren't you already running a job for Vilkas? Come talk to me when you finish that up. CRNoWorkBranchTopic I've already given you a job, now get to it. CRNoWorkBranchTopic Aren't you already running a job for Skjor? Come talk to me when you finish that up. CRNoWorkBranchTopic I've already given you a job, now get to it. CW00AboutTopic You mean Ulfric's so-called "Stormcloak rebellion"? CW00AboutTopic The Nord kings - oh, excuse me, "Jarls" - they can't seem to control their own people. So the Legion has stepped in to keep order. CW00AboutTopic Sadly, the Empire's stretched a little thin these days, and we've gotten very few reinforcements. So we've been forced to recruit locally. CW00AboutTopic But rest assured, citizen. We'll put an end to this uprising... and things will get back to normal soon enough. CW00AboutTopic Skyrim is the birthplace of humanity. The birthplace of honor. And those snowbacked Imperials renounced both when they laid down before the Thalmor. CW00AboutTopic Worse still, to pay for the privilege to keep his throne, the Emperor sells Skyrim and our very gods - Talos, no less! - to the damn elves. CW00AboutTopic And what did Torygg do? He and the Jarls that supported him? They took the Emperor's gold. Sold out their people for a slave master's "peace treaty." CW00AboutTopic Ulfric did right killing him. Soon we'll rid Skyrim of elves, their bloody Justiciars, and the Jarls in their pockets. The whole damn lot of them. CW00AboutTopic And we'll cleave through the Legion to get to them. CW00ATulliusGreetNotWhyImHere I see. Then there's nothing further to discuss. If you change your mind, speak with the Legate. CW00ATulliusGreetYes Good. CW00BAboutIceWraith It's where men have tested their mettle for ages. CW00BAboutIceWraith There's a strange rock formation, built by the ancients. Something about that place attracts the Ice Wraiths. CW00BAboutIceWraith You kill an Ice Wraith out there, and I'll have all the proof I need about you. CW00BGalmarAcceptQuest We'll see about that, won't we? CW00BGalmarAcceptQuest We'll see about that, won't we? CW00BGalmarAcceptQuest Here. Take this. You'll need it. Use it on the island. Don't lose it. That's all the help you're getting. CW00BGalmarAcceptQuest Try not to die. CW00BGalmarAlone Not so sure of yourself after all? CW00BGalmarAlone At the end of the day, every warrior is alone. CW00BGalmarAlone Before you can stand next to your shield brother, you need to be able to stand on your own. CW00BGalmarBlockingTopic I'm not sure you belong here, friend. CW00BGalmarBlockingTopic Hmm. Helgen, eh? Ulfric told us quite the story. If you made it through all that, you're likely worth something to me. CW00BGalmarBlockingTopic Are you ready to for Serpentstone Island? CW00BGalmarClearIsland I'm sending you to Serpentstone Island. If you survive, you pass. If you die, well, you weren't going to be much use to me anyway. CW00BGalmarEveryoneDoThis Only the ones I'm not sure about. This will prove your abilities, but more importantly, it will prove your commitment. CW00BGalmarFightEmpire Can't fault anyone for that! As long as you hate the Empire as much as I do, that I can work with. CW00BGalmarHandleAnything That's what I like to hear. CW00BGalmarHandleAnything So long as you can back up those words with steel. CW00BGalmarNotSure Here. Take this. You'll need it. Use it on the island. Don't lose it. That's all the help you're getting. CW00BGalmarNotSure Try not to die. CW00BGalmarNotSure When you kill that Ice Wraith, then we'll talk about you becoming a Stormcloak. CW00BGalmarNotSure When you kill that Ice Wraith, then we'll talk about you becoming a Stormcloak. CW00BGalmarOnlyNords You mistake me. I'm not saying no - just wondering about your intentions. CW00BGalmarOnlyNords We're not looking for sellswords. The Stormcloaks need dedicated men and women who're devoted to the cause and willing to die for it. CW00BGalmarSignMeUp All right. But before I can put you to use, I need to know how much you can take. I have a little test for you. CW00BGalmarWhatTest The kind men use to measure themselves. CW00BGalmarWhyOutsider But first, tell me. Why's an Elf want to fight for Skyrim? CW00BGalmarWhyOutsider But first, tell me. Why's a cat want to fight for Skyrim? CW00BGalmarWhyOutsider But first, tell me. Why's a lizard want to fight for Skyrim? CW00BGalmarWhyOutsider But first, tell me. Why's an Orc want to fight for Skyrim? CW00BGalmarWhyOutsider But first, tell me. Why's a Redguard want to fight for Skyrim? CW00BGalmarWhyOutsider But first, tell me. Why's a Breton want to fight for Skyrim? CW00BGalmarWhyOutsider But first, tell me. Why's a foreigner want to fight for Skyrim? CW00BHello Speak with Galmar. He'll size you up and see where we can best use your talents. CW00BHello If you know any true sons and daughters of Skyrim, tell them to head to Windhelm. Ulfric Stormcloak wants to see them. CW00BHello You need to go inside, little cub. CW00BHello Who are they, daddy? Where are they going? CW00BSharedGalmarSkyrimIsHome Fair enough. But are you willing to die for your home? CW00BStormcloakOathInterrupted We're not done here. CW00BUlfricAlreadyMet Is that so...? CW00BUlfricAlreadyMet Ah yes, you were with us at Helgen. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I remember you... You were at Helgen with us! Come to join the war? Speak with Galmar. He handles the new recruits. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Only the foolish or the courageous approach a Jarl without summons... CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Do I know you? CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic As you can see, I have much that requires my attention. If you're inclined to gab, there are some nice prison guards you may like to meet... CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Aye. But in the meantime, we have a war to plan. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I would gladly retire from the world were such a day to dawn. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Your words give voice to what we all feel, Ulfric. And that's why you will be High King. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic But the day words are enough, will be the day when soldiers like us are no longer needed. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I fight so that all the fighting I've already done hasn't been for nothing. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I fight... because I must. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I fight for we few who did come home, only to find our country full of strangers wearing familiar faces. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I fight for my people impoverished to pay the debts of an Empire too weak to rule them, yet brands them criminals for wanting to rule themselves! CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I fight for the men I've held in my arms, dying on foreign soil. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I fight for their wives and children, who's names I heard whispered in their last breaths. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I'll die before elves dictate the fates of men. Are we not one in this? CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Yes, but why do you fight? If not for me, what then? CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I'd follow you into the depths of Oblivion, you know that. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Well put, friend. Tell me, Galmar, why do you fight for me? CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic How many of their sons and daughters follow your banner? We are their families. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic They have families to think of. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic What's left of Skyrim to wager? CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic We've been soldiers a long time. We know the price of freedom. The people are still weighing things in their hearts. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Then let them die with their false kings. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Many I fear still need convincing. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic The people are behind you. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Things hinge on Whiterun. If we can take the city without bloodshed all the better. But if not... CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic We're ready when you are. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Torygg was merely a message to the other Jarls. Whoever we replace them with will need the support of our armies. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic I still say you should take them all out like you did Deadking Torygg. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Soon. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic So we're ready to start this war in earnest then? CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Taking his city and leaving him in disgrace would make a more powerful statement, don't you think? CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic If by message you mean shoving a sword through his gullet. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic You think I need to send Balgruuf a stronger message. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic You think I need to send Hrongar a stronger message. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic How long are you going to wait? CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic He knows that. They all know that. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic If he's not with us, he's against us. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic And what would you have me do? CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Don't be so sure of that. We've intercepted couriers from Solitude. The Empire's putting a great deal of pressure on Whiterun. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic He's a true Nord. He'll come around. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Balgruuf won't give us a straight answer. CW00BUlfricForcegreetTopic Hrongar won't give us a straight answer. CW00BUlfricGreet I'm sorry to hear that. If you change your mind, speak with Galmar. What does bring you to me? CW00BUlfricGreetFreeToGo A fair point... Well, you've come to the right place, then. Speak with Galmar. CW00BUlfricGreetHelgen Ahhh. Yes... CW00BUlfricGreetRalof Ralof's alive? I hope that's true. He's a damn good man. CW00BUlfricGreetRalof But he hasn't returned yet, so I'll need to wait for his account. For now, speak with Galmar. CW00BUlfricGreetTalkGalmar I'm always looking for able fighters. Not everyone can say they made it out of Helgen. CW00BUlfricGreetTalkGalmar Seems we're all branded villains these days... CW00BUlfricGreetTalkGalmar So long as your criminal past stays in the past, and you fight for me with honor and integrity, we'll welcome you into our ranks. CW00BUlfricGreetYessir Good. CW00BUlfricPrisoner Destined for the chopping block if I'm not mistaken. CW00Hello The Legion's always looking for strong, capable warriors. If you think you've got what it takes, our headquarters is in Solitude. CW00Hello Speak with Legate Rikke. She will determine if you are Legion material. CW00JoinAboutFactionTopic At first they called us that to belittle our cause. But we gladly accept being named for Ulfric Stormcloak, the only true High King of Skyrim. CW00JoinAboutFactionTopic We are the true sons and daughters of Skyrim, and Ulfric... he's the truest of us all. CW00JoinAboutFactionTopic We fight to make our land great once more, to raise up strong, noble thanes, and lay low false Jarls and the cowards who hide behind them. CW00JoinAboutFactionTopic The sound of our fury is a storm about to break on the heads of our enemies. Our friendship, a cloak of true brotherhood for all who would wear it. CW00JoinAboutFactionTopic Not sure I understand the question. The Legion's always been in Skyrim. CW00JoinAboutFactionTopic We have garrisons throughout all the provinces of the Empire. Our mission is to serve the Emperor, uphold the law, and protect the citizenry. CW00JoinAboutFactionTopic Skyrim's days are darkening, and the Legion will soon be called into service like never before. But we stand ready, as always, to meet that call. CW00JoinTopic Think you've got the mettle, eh? CW00JoinTopic Honestly, the Legion can use all the able bodies it can muster. We have our hands full. A dead king, a rebellion, and now dragons? Skyrim's a mess. CW00JoinTopic If you're serious, make your way to Solitude. Our headquarters is Castle Dour. You find General Tulius there, commanding our forces in Skyrim. CW00JoinTopic But talk to Legate Rikke. She handles the local recruiting. CW00JoinTopic Think you've got the mettle, eh? CW00JoinTopic Honestly, the Legion can use all the able bodies it can muster. We have our hands full. A dead king, a rebellion, and now dragons? Skyrim's a mess. CW00JoinTopic If you're serious, you're in the right place. Our headquarters is Castle Dour. Here you'll find General Tullius, commanding our forces in Skyrim. CW00JoinTopic But talk to Legate Rikke. She handles the local recruiting. CW00JoinTopic Ulfric's not running a social club. You don't join anything. Either you're a true son of Skyrim, or you're not. CW00JoinTopic Ulfric's not running a social club. You don't join anything. Either you're a true daughter of Skyrim, or you're not. CW00JoinTopicContinue If you are, then you make your way to Windhelm and talk to the man himself. If you're not, well friend, you'd best walk away before this gets ugly. CW00JoinTopicContinue If you are, then you talk to the man himself. If you're not, well friend, you'd best walk away before this gets ugly. CW00RikkeBlockingTopic Are you lost? CW00RikkeBlockingTopic You survived Helgen? General Tullius told me what happened. Not many made it out alive... CW00RikkeBlockingTopic I've got a good feeling about you. And I don't often get good feelings about anything. A warrior knows to trust her gut... CW00RikkeBlockingTopic I'm not going to go through the normal process with you. I've got a little test lined up. Pass that, and we'll talk about you joining the Legion. CW00RikkeBlockingTopic Are you ready to test yourself at Fort Hraagstad? CW00RikkeGreet Oh, not so confident now, are we? CW00RikkeGreet Yes. This is a test. I don't think you're regular militia material. I want to see what you're capable of. CW00RikkeGreetAboutHraagstad The ancients built many of the fortresses that dot the landscape of Skyrim. CW00RikkeGreetAboutHraagstad Sadly, most have fallen into disrepair. And nearly all have been overrun with bandits or other vagabonds. CW00RikkeGreetAboutHraagstad Fort Hraagstad is one of the few that remains mostly intact. CW00RikkeGreetAboutHraagstad We're going to install a garrison there, but first, your going to clean out the bandits that have moved in. CW00RikkeGreetAcceptQuest Good. That's what I want to hear. Now go make it happen, soldier. CW00RikkeGreetAlreadyDone Is that so? I was right about you. CW00RikkeGreetClearOutFort I'm sending you to clear out Fort Hraagstad. If you survive, you'll pass. CW00RikkeGreetClearOutFort If you die, then I'll have no further use for your corpse. CW00RikkeGreetHandleAnything Is that confidence, or bravado? Confidence I can use. Bravado gets soldiers killed. CW00RikkeGreetHandleAnything We'll soon find out. CW00RikkeGreetNotSure Well, if you change your mind, you know what to do. CW00RikkeGreetWhatTest The kind that evaluates your usefulness during... duress. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic I remember you, you were at Helgen. Speak to Legate Rikke. I suspect we could use someone like you. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Are my men now giving free reign to anyone who wanders into the castle? CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Do you have some reason to be here, citizen? CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic There something I can do for you? Perhaps direct you to the nearest prison... CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Sir? CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic You can't force a Nord to accept help he hasn't asked for. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic You people and your damn Jarls. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic General. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Well, if he wants to stand outside the protection of the Empire, fine. Let Ulfric pillage his city. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Balgruuf refuses the Legion's right to garrison troops in his city. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic On the other hand, he also refuses to acknowledge Ulfric's claim. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Hrongar carries on the policies of his brother and refuses to acknowledge the Legions right to garrison troops in his city. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic On the plus side, he also refuses to acknowledge Ulfric's claim. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Jarl Balgruuf... CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Jarl Hrongar... CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Call it whatever you like, General. The man's going to try to take Whiterun. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic It's not a cause. It's a rebellion. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic That's not what my scouts report, sir. Every day more join his cause. Riften, Dawnstar, and Winterhold support him. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic He'd be insane to try. He doesn't have the men. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic I'm telling you, Ulfric's planning an attack on Whiterun. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Let's move out. Time's a wasting. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Of course. We'll keep Riverwood safe. You can count on it. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic I don't expect the three of you to fight off a dragon by yourselves. But I do expect you to do your duty. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic It's just us against a dragon, is that it? CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Your main job will be to keep an eye out and get the people to safety if the town is attacked. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Yes, Housecarl. We'll leave immediately. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic I can't afford to send anyone else. And we don't know where the dragon is. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic The Jarl has finally agreed to send you back to Riverwood. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic Go on, Hadvar. Let's hear the rest of it. CW00TulliusForcegreetTopic I'm sure Riverwood will be all right, dear. When the Jarl learns what's happened, he's sure to send soldiers. CW00TulliusGreetAlreadyMet Have we? CW00TulliusGreetAlreadyMet Oh. Of course. CW00TulliusGreetAlreadyMet You were at Helgen! CW00TulliusGreetFreeToGo I suppose that's true. Fine. CW00TulliusGreetFreeToGo Why don't you have a chat with Legate Rikke? CW00TulliusGreetHadvar Hadvar's alive? I hope that's true. He's a damn good soldier. CW00TulliusGreetHadvar But he hasn't reported in yet, so he can't exactly confirm your story. CW00TulliusGreetHadvar In the meantime, why don't you have a chat with Legate Rikke. CW00TulliusGreetHelgen Right... Helgen.. CW00TulliusGreetPrisoner One of the prisoners, if I recall correctly. CW00TulliusGreetTalkRikke I suspect we might have use for someone resourceful like you. Not many survived Helgen. CW00TulliusGreetTalkRikke Besides, I'm sure your being imprisoned was all a terrible misunderstanding. CW01AGoodbye Don't keep waiting, soldier. CW01AJoinLegionBranchTopic I believe the Legate gave you an order. I expect you to follow it. Dismissed. CW01AJoinLegionBranchTopic Deliver your report to Legate Rikke. CW01AJoinLegionBranchTopic In joining the Legion, you'll be taking an oath binding you to the service of the Emperor and thus to every citizen of the Empire. CW01AJoinLegionBranchTopic Are you prepared to make that commitment? CW01AJoinLegionBranchTopic Changed your mind? Decided you want to soldier for the Empire after all? CW01AOutfitImperialBeirandTopic Yep. I have just one question for you. CW01AOutfitImperialBeirandTopic Light, medium, or heavy? CW01AOutfitImperialBye Now, that's it. One free outfit per soldier. You lose that, or get it banged up, you'll need to pay like everyone else. CW01AOutfitImperialClarify Light armor for scouting detail, heavy armor for full on combat, or something in between? CW01AOutfitImperialHeavy They don't make finer steel anywhere else. If this doesn't keep you from dying, nothing will. CW01AOutfitImperialLight Alright... here you go. Should keep you light on your feet, and hold up decent enough if you wind up trading blows with the enemy. CW01AOutfitImperialMedium Alright. This here's enough to keep your insides from spilling out, except from the fiercest of blows, and shouldn't weigh you down too much. CW01BGalmarGreetGoodbye Don't take too long figuring it out. Might mistake your hesitation for Imperial sympathies. CW01BGalmarGreetGoodbye Come back when you're committed to the cause, or go join the Legion. They're taking anyone with a pulse these days. CW01BGalmarGreetIsntEnough You can stick a sword through an Imperial any day you want. But that doesn't make you a Stormcloak. CW01BGalmarGreetIsntEnough We're not just fighting Imperials. We're fighting to restore Skyrim to her glory and give her the king she deserves. CW01BGalmarGreetOath Before you're one of us, you must swear fealty to Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak, future High King of Skyrim. CW01BGalmarGreetOath You must also pledge unswerving loyalty to your fellow Stormcloaks, to Skyrim and to her people. CW01BGalmarGreetReady That's the spirit. By swearing this oath you become one of us. A hero of the people. A true son of Skyrim. A Stormcloak. Repeat after me. CW01BGalmarGreetReady "I do swear my blood and honor to the service of Ulfric Stormcloak..." CW01BGalmarGreetReady That's the spirit. By swearing this oath you become one of us. A heroine of the people. A true daughter of Skyrim. A Stormcloak. Repeat after me. CW01BGalmarGreetReady "I do swear my blood and honor to the service of Ulfric Stormcloak..." CW01BGalmarGreetSentMeToDie Not at all. That was as much a test of your abilities as it was your resolve. CW01BGalmarGreetSentMeToDie I wasn't sure your heart was in it. But you've proven me wrong. And I respect that. CW01BGalmarGreetSentMeToDie Now, if were done being sentimental, it's time for you to take the Oath. CW01BGalmarGreetTopic What? We've got nothing to talk about until you come back from Serpentstone Isle. CW01BGalmarGreetTopic You're alive. I owe Ulfric a drink. I have to admit, I didn't think we'd be seeing you again. CW01BGalmarGreetTopic I misjudged you. You're definitely Stormcloak material. CW01BGalmarGreetTopic It's time we made this official. You ready to take the Oath? CW01BGalmarGreetTopic You ready to take the Oath? CW01BGoodbye Good luck with that Icewraith. CW01BStormcloakOath3b "All hail the Stormcloaks, the true sons and daughters of Skyrim!" CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic You're alive! I'm impressed! Galmar had his doubts about you, but I knew you'd pull through. You should speak with him. He's going to need your help. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic Speak with Galmar. You'll be going on a little errand with him. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic It'll be there. You'll see. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic Fine. I'll send the Unblooded here with you. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic Fancy a crawl through a moldering dungeon to see if you can't stir up Galmar's Jagged Crown? CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic When have I ever been false with you? CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic You're certain you've found it? CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic It exists. And it'll be the symbol of the righteousness of our cause. Think about it. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic The Jagged Crown! It heralds back to a time before jarls and moots. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic Back to the time when a king was a king because his enemies fell before him, and his people rose because they loved him. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic Skyrim needs that king. You will be that king, Ulfric. You must be. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic If it even exists. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic No, but this one... CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic A crown doesn't make a king. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic All the more reason then. The crown would legitimize your claim. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic And damn the Moot! CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic We should risk letting those milkdrinkers put Thorryg's woman on the throne? She'll hand Skyrim over to the elves on a silver plate. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic They demand the Moot. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic Damn the Jarls. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic The Jarls are upset. They don't all support you. CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic Tell me again why we're wasting time and dwindling resources chasing a legend. We don't even know it exists! CW01BUlfricSceneBlockerTopic I believe Galmar gave you something to do. So go do it. CW01Hello I trust you'll be finished with Fort Hraggstad soon? CW01RikkeGreetTopic What's the matter, soldier? I gave you an order. I want that fort, and I want it now. Move it! CW01RikkeGreetTopic Welcome back, soldier. I'm glad you made it in one piece. I'll send men to garrison the fort right away. You did well. I'm impressed. CW01RikkeGreetTopic But before we go any further, it's time for you to officially join the Legion. CW01RikkeGreetTopic Speak with General Tullius. He'll administer the oath. CW01RikkeGreetTopic The Stonefist's no fool. He's found the Crown. But we'll get to it first. CW01RikkeGreetTopic Make sure you take the Auxiliary here. You can send him back when you get there and find nothing but old bones and cobwebs. CW01RikkeGreetTopic Make sure you take the Auxiliary here. You can send her back when you get there and find nothing but old bones and cobwebs. CW01RikkeGreetTopic It won't be a waste. CW01RikkeGreetTopic Perhaps... I'm entrusting you with what resources I can spare. But I'm warning you, if this turns out to be a waste of time and men... CW01RikkeGreetTopic In the absence of the Moot, it would further legitimize her claim. CW01RikkeGreetTopic In the absence of the Moot, it would further legitimize his claim. CW01RikkeGreetTopic And we gave it to Elisif? CW01RikkeGreetTopic And we gave it to Erikur? CW01RikkeGreetTopic No, it's not as simple as that, but the Jagged Crown would be a potent symbol for his cause to rally around. CW01RikkeGreetTopic But, if we found it first... CW01RikkeGreetTopic So what - Ulfric gets this crown and then suddenly he's High King? CW01RikkeGreetTopic Not everyone's agreed to the Moot. CW01RikkeGreetTopic You've been here long enough to know that Nords aren't always sensible. CW01RikkeGreetTopic We follow our hearts. CW01RikkeGreetTopic Don't you Nords put any stock in your own traditions? I thought the Moot chose the king. CW01RikkeGreetTopic If Ulfric gets his hand on that crown, it won't be a fairy tale. It'll be a problem. CW01RikkeGreetTopic Tell me again, why I'm wasting men chasing after a fairy tale. CW01RikkeGreetTopic What do you need? CW01RikkeGreetTopic What is it? CW02AAboutCrownTopic A legendary crown, dating back to King Harald's time, or before. A powerful relic of a golden age, long since passed. CW02AAboutCrownTopic Legend has it that the crown is made from the bones and teeth of ancient dragons, and is said to increase the power of the wearer. CW02AAboutCrownTopic Whatever the truth, if Ulfric get's his hands on it, it would be a powerful symbol around which to rally support for his cause. CW02AAboutKorvanjundTopic Well, to be frank, we don't. Its location was lost with King Borgas, when the Great Hunt killed him while off on his Alessian campaigns. CW02AAboutKorvanjundTopic Supposedly, his body was brought back to Skyrim and secretly buried with the crown. Knowledge of that location was lost, in the Wars of Succession. CW02AAboutKorvanjundTopic But my agents report that Galmar is pretty damned convinced Korvanjund is the tomb of King Borgas. CW02AAboutKorvanjundTopic I know Galmar. We fought in many wars together. He's not a sentimental man taken to fancy. If he believes the crown is there... he's likely found it. CW02ALeadInToCW03 I need someone I can trust to deliver a message of great import to Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun. CW02ALeadInToCW03 I need someone I can trust to deliver a message of great import to Jarl Hrongar of Whiterun. CW02ALeadInToCW03 We're backing Elisif. When the Moot meets, they'll do the sensible thing. CW02ALeadInToCW03 We're backing Erikur. When the Moot meets, they'll do the sensible thing. CW02ALeadInToCW03YesSir We have it on good authority that Ulfric has raised enough men to attack the city of Whiterun. The Jarl, however, refuses the Legion's support. CW02ALeadInToCW03YesSir This missive should convince him. Be aware soldier, these documents contain sensitive intelligence for the Jarl's eyes only. CW02ARank Just shut up and keep out of sight. CW02ARank Hardly likely. CW02ATulliusBlockingTopic I believe the Legate gave you an order. Why are you standing around here flapping your jaw? Move out! CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun We have it on good authority that Ulfric has raised enough men to attack the city of Whiterun. The Jarl, however, refuses the Legion's support. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun This missive should convince him. Be aware soldier, these documents contain sensitive intelligence for the Jarl's eyes only. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun Now let's keep moving. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun We had the advantage of surprise this time, but don't expect it to last. Let's move out. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun Well done. They never knew what hit them. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun We're not kicking you out, just keep the sermons at the temple and let us all sin in peace. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun Very well, Talen. I'll remove myself from this den of iniquity. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun Enough, Maramal. We've all heard of the dragons and their return. There's no need to use them as an excuse to harass our customers. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun Keerava, certainly we can come to some sort of an understanding. These people must be made aware of the chaos they've sown. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun Put down your flagons filled with your vile liquids and embrace the teachings of the handmaiden of Kyne. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun No, no... Maramal... we talked about this. Talen... CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun This is one of the signs. The signs that Lady Mara is displeased with your constant inebriation. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun People of Riften, heed my words. The return of the dragons is not mere coincidence. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun It's the escaped prisoners! CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun Get this gate open. CW02ATulliusSendsPlayerToWhiterun It's the Imperials! Take cover! CW02BABoutCrownTopic Have you not heard that ancient verse? CW02BABoutCrownTopic "Maw unleashing razor snow, Of dragons from the blue brought down, Births the walking winter's woe, The High King in his Jagged Crown." CW02BABoutCrownTopic Going way back to King Harald's time or even before, the High King always wore the Jagged Crown. It was the symbol of his might and power. CW02BABoutCrownTopic The crown is made from the bones and teeth of ancient dragons, and it is said to contain a portion of the power of every king who has worn it. CW02BABoutCrownTopic True or not, who would dare deny Ulfric's claim, when the legendary Jagged Crown sits upon his brow? CW02BAboutDangerTopic Aye. The Great Hunt killed old King Borgas. Gods only know with what profane arts those elves cursed his remains. CW02BAboutDangerTopic Curses notwithstanding, the tombs of kings are always full of traps to ward off grave robbers, are they not? CW02BAboutDangerTopic But nothing a band of Stormcloaks can't handle, I assure you. CW02BAboutKorvanjundTopic It's true, the location of the crown was lost with King Borgas. After the Great Hunt killed him, while he was off on his damned Alessian campaigns. CW02BAboutKorvanjundTopic But legend holds, his body was secretly returned to Skyrim and buried with the crown. Its exact whereabouts lost in the following Wars of Succession. CW02BAboutKorvanjundTopic Through sources that shall remain nameless, I've tracked down what I believe to be the final resting place of King Borgas - Korvanjund. CW02BAboutKorvanjundTopic If the crown exists, it will be there. CW02BAnAxe Yes. An axe. How long have you been in Skyrim. Give the man my axe. CW02BAnAxe If he keeps it, I will bide my time. If he returns it to you, it means war. CW02BBalgruufWillKnow Men who understand each other often have no need for words. CW02BBalgruufWillKnow There are but a few simple truths behind one warrior giving another his axe. CW02BBalgruufWillKnow Balgruuf will know my meaning. CW02BHrongarWillKnow Men who understand each other often have no need for words. CW02BHrongarWillKnow There are but a few simple truths behind one warrior giving another his axe. CW02BHrongarWillKnow Hrongar will know my meaning. CW02BKeepWits Keep your wits about you. The Jarl of Whiterun is known for his temper. CW02BKeepWits ... CW02BLeadInToCW03 I'm glad you're here. I have a message I need delivered to the Jarl of Whiterun. CW02BLeadInToCW03 Deliver this axe to Balgruuf the Greater. CW02BLeadInToCW03 I'm glad you're here. I have a message I need delivered to the Jarl of Whiterun. CW02BLeadInToCW03 Deliver this axe to Jarl Hrongar. CW02BUlfricBlockingTopic Why are you still here? You're supposed to be at Korvanjund, proving Galmar right, or proving him wrong. CW03BalgruufAxeDangerous True, he's a dangerous and blood thirsty man, but he's also a Nord that honors our traditions. CW03BalgruufAxeDangerous Keep your wits about you and you won't be harmed. CW03BalgruufAxeDangerous And then get back here. Because if Ulfric isn't bluffing, I'll need every able body to defend Whiterun. CW03BalgruufAxeJustAnAxe How long have you been in Skyrim? Yes. Give the man my axe. CW03BalgruufAxeJustAnAxe If he returns it to you it means we have business to settle. If he keeps it, then we are at peace. CW03BalgruufAxeSayAnything Men who understand one another need not waste words. CW03BalgruufAxeSayAnything There are but a few simple truths behind one warrior giving another his axe. CW03BalgruufAxeSayAnything Ulfric will know my meaning. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic One moment. But don't go far. I expect I'll need you. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic I've made up my mind, even if my advisors are still squabbling. I'm sending you to Windhelm. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Deliver this axe to Ulfric Stormcloak. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic You can return this axe to our friend. The esteemed Jarl of Windhelm has my answer. Make sure he gets it. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic You there. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic I have a message for you to deliver to our friend, the esteemed Jarl of Windhelm. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic So about this axe... CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Finally. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Oh, he's serious. But so am I. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Lord, wait. Let us see if Ulfric is serious. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Damnit! This isn't about gold! CW03BalgruufAxeTopic The chests of gold didn't hurt. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic This again?! That was different. Was I given a chance to object to the terms of the treaty? No. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic The Jarls weren't asked. We were told. And we had to like it. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic This again?! That was different. Was Balgruuf given a chance to object? No. The Jarls weren't asked. He was told. And he had to like it. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Was it cowardly then to accept the White-Gold Concordat? CW03BalgruufAxeTopic It seems cowardly. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic And what harm is there in letting a few legionnaires die in place of your own men? CW03BalgruufAxeTopic But, Proventus has a point. Ulfric has made it clear. In his mind, to refuse his claim is to side with the Empire. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Ulfric is the one who has offended. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Then might I urge you to consider General Tullius's request? I mean, if you are bent on offending Jarl Ulfric... CW03BalgruufAxeTopic True. He's already proven his personal strength. Now he seeks to prove his army's. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic I'm not the High King, but neither am I a boy. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic If Ulfric wants to challenge my rule in the old way, let him. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Though I suspect he'll prefer to send his "Stormcloaks" to do it for him. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic That "boy" was High King of Skyrim. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Torygg? He simply walked up to the boy and murdered him! CW03BalgruufAxeTopic He was rather straight forward with Torygg. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic He'll do no such thing! CW03BalgruufAxeTopic He'll do no such thing! A dagger in the back is all you could expect! CW03BalgruufAxeTopic It's time to act. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic I'm not a fool, Proventus. I mean it's time to challenge Ulfric to face me as a man, or to declare his intentions. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic I'm not a fool, Proventus. I mean it's time to challenge Ulfric to face me as a man, or march his Stormcloaks up to the gates. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic You plan to march on Windhelm? CW03BalgruufAxeTopic I'm of a mind with Irileth. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Prey waits. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic As in all things, Lord, caution... I urge us to wait and see. CW03BalgruufAxeTopic Proventus, what do you make of all this? If Ulfric were to attack Whiterun... CW03BalgruufAxeUnderstood Good. CW03BalgruufAxeUnderstood Good... CW03BalgruufGoodbye Now, I believe you have some business to conclude with my court wizard? CW03BalgruufGoodbye Now get out of here and to the outpost! I need to know what's happening out there. CW03BalgruufGoodbye Hmm... these are interesting reports... CW03BalgruufJarlsEyesOnly Don't be daft. Proventus is my eyes. CW03BalgruufJarlsEyesOnly Just give me the letter. I presume once I have it, I can do as I please with it? Good. CW03BalgruufReason Until that dragon's dealt with, I don't care what Tullius wants. CW03BalgruufReason For now, give the papers to my Steward. CW03BalgruufReason I see... Give the papers to my Steward. CW03BalgruufReason But until that dragon's dealt with, Ulfric's just going to have to wait. CW03BalgruufReason For now, I'll hold onto this axe. But it's a tenuous peace at best. CW03BalgruufReason I suppose it's time I give him an answer... CW03BalgruufTopic No doubt requesting to garrison his men in my castle. How many times must I deny him? CW03BalgruufTopic Well? Out with it. CW03BalgruufTopic We can talk about that once this dragon is dealt with. CW03BalgruufTopic Ah yes. I've studied those documents... Very interesting... CW03BalgruufTopic Did he now? The man is persistent, I'll give him that. CW03BalgruufTopic We can talk about that once this dragon is dealt with. CW03BalgruufTopic Ah yes. CW03BalgruufTopic I suppose it's time I gave him an answer... CW03BalgruufWarTopic You've returned with my axe. I knew that would be his response. CW03BalgruufWarTopic As soon as you left I sent word to General Tullius, who's been kind enough to lend us some of his troops and Legate Cipius here. CW03BalgruufWarTopic Let Ulfric try to make it past our combined forces. CW03BalgruufWarTopic I'll turn you back over to your Legion. Legate Cipius will have use for you. Gods be with us all. CW03Goodbye Get those documents to Whiterun. CW03Goodbye To Whiterun with you. CW03Hello You have your orders, soldier. CW03Hello I thought I gave you something to do? CW03UlfricGreetWarManyWillDie Then I commit them to whatever gods they still believe in. CW03UlfricGreetWarManyWillDie Talos be with you! CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Make haste to our camp in Whiterun. I want you on the front lines. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic I have a feeling about you. Your place is on that battlefield. I need you there. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic So it begins. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Aye, and the sons of Skyrim will greet that dawn teeth and swords flashing. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Send the word. "A new day is dawning and the sun rises over Whiterun." CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Yes! CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic And I'm sure you could do it, too. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Alright. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic This is it. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic We're ready. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic And I might be old myself, but I'll kick those damn walls down with my bare feet! - if you would only ask me to do it! CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic You're certain we're ready? CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Whiterun's army will no doubt be bolstered with Legionnares. And those walls around Whiterun are old, but they still stand. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic No. But neither is every man able to give that order when he must. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic But you are that man, Ulfric. You've been that man before, and you'll be him again. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic And these men and women - they call themselves Stormcloaks because they believe in you... CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic They're the meanest, toughest sons of bitches Skyrim has to offer. And they want this. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic They want this as much as you do. Perhaps they want it more. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Is any man ever ready to give the order that will mean the deaths of many. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic I've toured our camps. We're ready, Ulfric... CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Whenever you are. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Whiterun is only a means to an end. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Give the word, my lord, and Whiterun is yours. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic I'm in no mood to joke. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Again? CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic You were right Galmar. CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Just pay them, Bersi! CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic Oh my word! CW03UlfricGreetWarTopic This isn't happening! CW03UlfricGreetWarYesSir Fight well, or die well. Talos be with you! CW03UlfricReturnAxeHand Oh. What's this? CW03UlfricReturnAxeHand Ahhh... You're quite brave to carry such a message. It's a pity you've chosen the wrong side... CW03UlfricReturnAxeHand You can return this axe to the man who sent it. And tell him he should prepare to entertain... visitors. CW03UlfricReturnAxeHand I expect a great deal of excitement in the city of Whiterun in the near future... CW03UlfricReturnAxeSeeYouSoon Sooner than you think. CW03UlfricReturnAxeTopic Is that so? I've been wondering when he'd come around. CW03UlfricReturnAxeTopic Then I was wrong about him. CW03UlfricReturnAxeTopic It's time to decide. CW03UlfricReturnAxeTopic Yes, to General Tullius. CW03UlfricReturnAxeTopic I need to make a few things clear before I accept these Legionnaires of his. CW03UlfricReturnAxeTopic Are we writing a letter, Lord? CW03UlfricReturnAxeTopic Proventus. Bring me my pen. And the good parchment. CW03UlfricReturnAxeWhy I have shown the people that when our Jarls drink the Empire's milk, it makes us weak. CW03UlfricReturnAxeWhy I must now show them the path that will lead us back to our strength. CW03UlfricReturnAxeWhy There is no progress without sacrifice. No wheat without threshing the chaff. CW03UlfricReturnAxeWhy The Empire and the Jarls who back them must be swept away. The people demand it. I demand it. CW03UlfricReturnAxeWillBeStopped Oh? True, I may meet my end in a dark alley with a dagger in my back. But the people have seen the truth, and they will not back down. CWAboutYourselfTopic I'm originally from Cyrodiil, sent here at the request of the Emperor himself. I'm often ordered to places with problems that need fixing. CWAboutYourselfTopic Now, while I'm certain this is all terribly interesting to you, I have important matters to attend. CWAcceptMissionNOImperial Don't take too long figuring it out. I've got a war to run here. CWAcceptMissionNOSons I see. Well, make it quick, or do you have better things to do than fight for the people of Skyrim? CWAcceptMissionPromptDifficultImperial This won't be easy, but that's why I'm sending you. Think you can handle it? CWAcceptMissionPromptDifficultSons This won't be easy. But that's why I'm sending you. You got the grit to get this done? CWAcceptMissionPromptImperial Well, soldier? Are you up to the task? CWAcceptMissionPromptSons What do you say? Can you do this? CWAcceptMissionYESImperial1 I knew I could count on you, soldier. CWAcceptMissionYESImperial10 Peace may yet return to Skyrim. But until then, we fight. CWAcceptMissionYESImperial2 Good luck out there. CWAcceptMissionYESImperial3 We do this for the good of Skyrim and her people. Never forget that. CWAcceptMissionYESImperial4 Make me proud. CWAcceptMissionYESImperial5 May the gods keep you. CWAcceptMissionYESImperial6 Stay sharp out there. CWAcceptMissionYESImperial7 Good. Make it it happen, soldier. CWAcceptMissionYESImperial8 Show the rebels the futility of their cause. CWAcceptMissionYESImperial9 As long as the rebels are willing to die fighting the Empire, we must be willing to oblige them. CWAcceptMissionYESSons1 Good. You've got real fire in you. I like that... Talos guide you. CWAcceptMissionYESSons10 That's what I wanted to hear. Good luck out there. CWAcceptMissionYESSons2 I knew I could count on you. CWAcceptMissionYESSons3 Good. Don't die out there. CWAcceptMissionYESSons4 We all have faith in you. CWAcceptMissionYESSons5 Go with the Nine. CWAcceptMissionYESSons6 Talos keep you. CWAcceptMissionYESSons7 Don't screw this up. CWAcceptMissionYESSons8 Good. And remember - keep the gods, and they'll keep you. CWAcceptMissionYESSons9 Excellent. Put the fear of the Nine into those motherless dogs. CWAttackCityBlockingTopic Get over to Windhelm. Tell Ulfric of our victory here. CWAttackCityBlockingTopic They will sing stories of this day. CWAttackCitySurrenderTopic I surrender! Give me a few hours to gather my household, and I'll depart. You have my word. CWAttackFortBlackmoorImperial Your objective is Fort Greymoor. CWAttackFortBlackmoorSons You're going to Fort Greymoor. CWAttackFortDunstadImperial Your objective is Fort Dunstad. CWAttackFortDunstadSons You're going to Fort Dunstad. CWAttackFortGenericImperial Your objective is the enemy held fort. CWAttackFortGenericSons You're going to the fort. CWAttackFortGreenwallImperial Your objective is Fort Greenwall. CWAttackFortGreenwalSons You're going to Fort Greenwall. CWAttackFortKastavImperial Your objective is Fort Kastav.

CWAttackFortSnowhawkImperial Your objective is Fort Snowhawk. CWAttackFortSnowhawkSons You're going to Fort Snowhawk. CWAttackFortSungardImperial Your objective is Fort Sungard. CWAttackFortSungardSons You're going to Fort Sungard. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First off, we've learned the location of some rebels scouting our positions throughout the hold. Need to take them out. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First off, there's a couple of Imperials skulking about the hold. Need to cut their throats so they can't make their reports. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First off, they've got some rebels holed up in a nearby settlement. Need to clean them out so our boys can move in. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First off, there's a band of Imperials hiding in a nearby village. We're going to flush them out and put them to the sword. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First, we need to limit Stormcloak capacity and send them a not so subtle message by sabotaging a resource they claim to control. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First problem here is a pack of Imperial dogs drooling over resources stolen from the people. A little sabotage will sour the taste of that victory. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First, we have information regarding the movements of a rebel courier. We need to intercept him and confiscate his package. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First, we've learnt the whereabouts of an Imperial cur fetching documents for his master in Solitude. We need to put a muzzle on that, don't we? CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First of all, one of our men was captured by rebels who refuse to surrender him. So we're going to break him out. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First of all, a son of Skyrim rots in an Imperial prison. We'll be getting him out of there soon. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First of all, I need to sew confusion and doubt through the rebel troops. I want to assassinate their commanding officer. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First, if we can assassinate their commander, we'll be able to strike them while they're busy tucking their tails between their legs. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First, our intelligence suggests one of the rebel garrisons has become disaffected. If we play our cards right, we should be able to turn them. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First off, we hear a group of Imperial legionnaires are coming around to our way of thinking. With a little encouragement they'll join our side. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First off, seems the Jarl's Steward might be vulnerable to blackmail. Need to investigate that possibility. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First off, it seems that we might be able to blackmail the Jarl's Steward. I need to find out for sure. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First on my list, is a problem with our supply caravans being constantly harassed by a giant. Need to deal with that hairy brute. And soon. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook The last few supply caravans have been attacked... by a giant. As if I didn't have enough to deal with. Need that damn hairy brute straightened out. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First, I need to get a handle on rebel operations. Need to discretely liberate some documents from their headquarters. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First, I need to know what the Imperials are planning. Need to slip into their headquarters, grab plans, maps, something useful like that. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First of all, I'd like to drum up some more support from the local populace. I have someone in mind. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First of all, there's someone in particular I'd like to win over to our cause. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First off, there's an Orc hanging around causing me headaches. Something about a vision quest he needs help with. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First off, there's a damn Orc hanging around getting in the way. He's been yammering on about needing help with some kind of vision quest. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First, we're mounting an attack on the Fort. We aim to confiscate it from the rebels. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook First, we're attacking the fort. I want that fort. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook ... CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook ... CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook Oh, all things in time, my boy. All things in time. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook What more do you need that Yatul and I cannot provide? CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook Have the spirits told you where I may find a wife? One who will be safe from this curse? CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook Yes, child? CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook Bolar, I must ask you something. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook We're the ones he loves. Me, and you. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook Maybe, but... CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook Let's get this over with. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook I'll lead the way, but you'd better back me up. CWCampaignFieldCOMission1Hook If there's a chance this will save me, then I'm taking it. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Secondly, some rebel scouts that have seen too much are moving through the hold. Need to take them out before they report back to their leaders. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Secondly, we got a couple of Imperial spies roaming through the hold. Need to put an end to that. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Secondly, we got more of 'em hiding in a village, using the local populace as shields. Not to worry. We can dispatch them without harming the locals. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Secondly, we plan on liberating a settlement from Imperial hands. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Secondly, I need to cripple rebel production capabilities with a little sabotage. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Next problem - Imperial thieves have, yet again, stolen an important resource. So we're gonna take it from them permanently - by destroying it. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Soldiers win wars, but where to put them is the key. We have word of an enemy courier in the area. We aim to confiscate his documents. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And then, it seems an Imperial worm wiggles it's way back home, carrying information stolen from us. We need to steal it back. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And perhaps more importantly, I need to break one of our boys out of a rebel controlled fort. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And perhaps more importantly, we have a brother rotting in an Imperial prison. He won't languish in there long, will he now? CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And we have an opportunity to slay the rebel field commander. Without a clear command structure, they should fall into confusion and disarray. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook We also have the opportunity to slay an Imperial Legate. That'll put fear and confusion into those faithless dogs. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And we understand a rebel garrison is close to abandoning the resistance. We need to send them a little encouragement. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And we hear a handful of Imperials are realizing they are Stormcloaks at heart. We need to send them a little encouragement. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Next, I need a little investigating to confirm the possibility of blackmailing the Jarl's Steward. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Next, I need dirt on the Jarl's Steward. Heard there's blackmail potential there. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And then there's a tiny problem with a giant that's been raiding our supply caravans... You heard me right. A giant. Need to put a stop to that. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And then there's a tiny problem with a giant attacking our supply caravans. A giant! As if I didn't have enough to deal with. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook I also would like to get a handle on what the rebels are planning - slip into their headquarters and steal their war plans. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Also, I need a peek inside Imperial headquarters, ideally lifting some documents detailing their plans. I need to know what to concentrate on. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Then there's a little matter of some recruiting. I have someone in mind I'd like to join our campaign. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook I need to send someone out to do a little recruiting. There's someone in particular I'd like to join us. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And then there's this Orc who's been hanging around causing me headaches. Something about a vision quest he needs help with. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook And as if that wasn't enough. I got this damn Orc hanging around, getting in the way, yapping about needing help with some kind of vision quest. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Secondly, we're mounting an attack on the Fort. I want to gain a fortified position here before we launch our final attack on the capital. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook Secondly, I want to take the fort here. Having a fortified position will make it easier for us to amass men for our ultimate attack on the capital. CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook ... CWCampaignFieldCOMission2Hook ... CWCampaignFieldCOMissionFailureTopic I'm disappointed in your failure. But the Empire still needs you. I'll have to over look it for now. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionFailureTopic Turns out you're a screw up like the rest. But I still need you. So I'll overlook it for now. CWCampaignFieldCOMissions I've got my hands full with something. Don't go far. I'll need you soon. CWCampaignFieldCOMissions I'm in the middle of something. But don't go far. I'll need you soon. CWCampaignFieldCOMissions Good. I can use someone I can trust. CWCampaignFieldCOMissions Excellent. I have a couple tasks for you. CWCampaignFieldCOMissions Good. I have some things that need doing. CWCampaignFieldCOMissions Good. I'm spread thin. I could use the help. CWCampaignFieldCOMissions Got my hands full as usual. CWCampaignFieldCOMissions There's plenty that needs doing. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Excellent. I can move more soldiers through the area now that I know those scouts are dead. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Good job! With those Imperial scouts out of the way, I can be more aggressive about where I send our men. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Good. They'll think twice before crossing us while their command structure is in disarray. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic I pray Talos overlooks our less than honorable approach. But he knows our purpose is just and true. I'm glad you made it out alive. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Good work. This was a double victory. We took a garrison away from the Stormcloaks and further proved the hollowness of their cause. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Excellent. That's one less settlement in Imperial hands, and one more sign to all that our cause is true. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Good work. I'll send some men with a wagon to collect the prize. We can use the weapons here, and I'll pass on the coin to Solitude. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Well done! I'll send men with a wagon to collect our prize. We'll put the weapons to use here, and I'll send the coin back to Windhelm. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Good job. The more citizens that join the fight against the rebels, the sooner they will see the futility of their rebellion. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic We grow that much stronger with each son and daughter of Skyrim who joins us. Down with the Emperor! CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Thanks for taking care of that. I don't think that will be the last we see of that Orc. It's always good to gain allies. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Thanks for dealing with that orc. Something tells me that's not the last time we'll see him. And, something tells me that might not be a bad thing. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Good job! I knew I gave the mission to the right person. CWCampaignFieldCOMissionSuccessTopic Good job! Ulfric was right about you. I'm glad to have you with us! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic Speak with Ulfric, he's expecting word from Whiterun. CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic The Stormcloaks are here. In force. Get down to the front line. This is it. We must hold the city. Move it! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're taking the city. Meet the soldiers gathering for the attack. Move it! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're attacking Riften. Meet the soldiers gathering for the attack. Move it! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're mounting our final attack on Windhelm. You're needed on the front line. Get a move on soldier! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're taking the capital. Meet the soldiers gathering for the attack. Move it! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're taking Dawnstar. Get down there and join the rest of the men gathering for the attack. Now soldier! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're taking Winterhold. Get over there and join the rest of the men gathering for the attack. Now soldier! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic The Stormcloaks are here. In force. Get down to the front line. This is it. We must hold the city. Move it! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're ready to launch our attack on Solitude. But the Emperor's cousin is getting married! We can't risk attacking now. So we'll bide our time. CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're ready to launch our attack on Solitude. But the Emperor's visiting! We can't risk attacking now. So we'll bide our time. CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're taking the city. Meet the brothers gathering for the attack. Fight well or die well. Talos be with you. CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're taking Whiterun. Meet the brothers gathering for the attack. Fight well or die well. Talos be with you. CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're mounting our attack on Markarth. Get over there and join the brothers gathering for the attack. This is it now! Talos be with you. CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're mounting our final attack on Solitude. Get over there and join the rest of the army. They'll be launching the attack soon. Talos be with you! CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're taking the capital. Meet the brothers gathering for the attack. Fight well or die well. Talos be with you. CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're taking Falkreath. Get over there with the others. Fight well or die well. CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic We're liberating Morthal. Join the brothers gathering for the attack. Talos be with you. CWCampaignResolutionMajorHoldTopic The Imperials are here. All lined up pretty-like in their shiny armor. We'll put a few dents in those bastards before we give up the city. Move it! CWCapitalDestinationDawnstarImperial You're headed to Dawnstar. CWCapitalDestinationDawnstarSons Get over to Dawnstar.

CWCitizenPostAttackAggressive If you're planning violence against me or mine, you'll regret it. CWCitizenPostAttackCautious What do you want with us? CWCitizenPostAttackFearful Please! Have mercy... I beg you... CWDialogueCombatAttack I've been hunting and fishing in these parts for years. CWDialogueCombatAttack It's not like my poaching is hurting anyone. The Jarl can hardly eat every deer now can he? CWDialogueCombatAttack There's enough for all of us if you aren't greedy. CWDialogueGoodbye Go with the gods. CWDialogueGoodbye Talos watch over you. CWDialogueGoodbye Take care. CWDialogueGoodbye Be careful out there. CWDialogueGoodbye Keep your brother, and he'll keep you. CWDialogueGoodbye As you were. CWDialogueGoodbye Hmph. CWDialogueGoodbye Watch yourself. CWDialogueGoodbye Go on, get out of here. CWDialogueGoodbye Dismissed. CWDialogueGoodbye You're dismissed. CWDialogueHellos Auxiliary. CWDialogueHellos Quaestor. CWDialogueHellos Praefect. CWDialogueHellos Tribune. CWDialogueHellos Legate. CWDialogueHellos It's always good to see someone I can count on. CWDialogueHellos The general expects so much with so little. CWDialogueHellos The sooner we end this rebellion, the sooner I'll be able to sleep at night. CWDialogueHellos Ulfric... what have you done my old friend? CWDialogueHellos Stormcloaks... even the name of their rebellion stinks of Ulfric's vanity. He wants to be king. That's all this is about. One man's ambition. CWDialogueHellos I don't fight for the glory of the Empire, nor do I glory in the death of my kinsmen. I fight to bring peace and order to my homeland. CWDialogueHellos Damnit! Why can't Ulfric see he's tearing Skyrim to pieces? CWDialogueHellos Sometimes I wonder if the gods have abandoned us... as we have abandoned them. CWDialogueHellos What I do, I do for Skyrim and her people. CWDialogueHellos When we destroy the rebellion, perhaps the Thalmor will call off their damned inquisitions. It's just making things worse. CWDialogueHellos Sometimes I miss being out there in the middle of the action. CWDialogueHellos Unblooded. CWDialogueHellos Ice-Veins. CWDialogueHellos Bone-Breaker. CWDialogueHellos Snow-Hammer. CWDialogueHellos Stormblade. CWDialogueHellos Always good to see someone I can trust. CWDialogueHellos Sometimes I wonder if Ulfric understands what I'm dealing with out here. CWDialogueHellos That godless Emperor can shove his damn treaty into the steaming nether-reaches of my you-know-where. CWDialogueHellos My hatred for the Empire is exceeded only by my hatred for their witch-elf puppet-masters. CWDialogueHellos What will Skyrim have become if her children submitted to tyranny? CWDialogueHellos The Empire would have us become their slaves as they have become slaves to the Thalmor. I will not live as a slave, nor will I die as one. CWDialogueHellos The Empire is weak. That is why we fight them. Skyrim must be ruled by the strong. CWDialogueHellos Some say Ulfric desires to be king and nothing more... have they not seen that his anger floats on a sea of tears? CWDialogueHellos Countless dead haunt countless sleepless nights... when Skyrim becomes whole again, perhaps so will I. CWDialogueHellos When we've reclaimed our homeland from the Imperials, we'll take the fight to the Thalmor. They are the true enemy. Make no mistake. CWDialogueHellos If there was someone else Ulfric could trust with all this planning nonsense, I'd be out there breaking heads with the rest of you. CWDialogueHellos Auxiliary. CWDialogueHellos Quaestor. CWDialogueHellos Praefect. CWDialogueHellos Tribune. CWDialogueHellos Legate. CWDialogueHellos Skyrim is the birth place of the Empire. We won't let a bunch of thugs rob her of her lineage. CWDialogueHellos General Tullius expects much of me, and thus I expect much of my men. CWDialogueHellos In these grave times each Legionnaire must be his better self at all times and under all conditions. CWDialogueHellos The Empire is man's last bastion. If Ulfric wasn't blinded by lust for power, he'd see we are on the same side. CWDialogueHellos Were the Stormcloaks to prevail in dismantling Imperial rule in Skyrim, who would be her protector? No. We will crush this rebellion. We must do. CWDialogueHellos Ulfric would expunge from Skyrim citizens whose only crime was to be born of a non-Nordic woman. That is unacceptable to free men everywhere. CWDialogueHellos Every Legionnaire's secret weapon lies in this: knowledge of himself. And like any blade, he must be forged between the hammer and the anvil. CWDialogueHellos On the coldest of nights, in the steam rising from my breath, I see the many faces of the dead. CWDialogueHellos We stand out here in the cold, as brothers, warmed by the knowledge that we fight for the rights of every free citizen of the Empire. CWDialogueHellos Unblooded. CWDialogueHellos Ice-Veins. CWDialogueHellos Bone-Breaker. CWDialogueHellos Snow-Hammer. CWDialogueHellos Stormblade! CWDialogueHellos Look deeply into the faces of the warriors around you. These are the true sons and daughters of Skyrim. See her strength and nobility in their eyes. CWDialogueHellos The Empire would have us become slaves to the Thalmor. We are not slaves. We are men. Free men who will slay anyone who begs to differ. CWDialogueHellos It was anger that brought each of us here, but it is love that keeps us fighting. CWDialogueHellos The measure of a man is taken at the moment of his death. And know this for truth, the ghosts of many heroes walk among us. CWDialogueHellos One lives for the things he is willing to die for. CWDialogueHellos My hatred for the Empire is bested only by love for my countrymen. CWDialogueHellos The Emperor would turn Skyrim into a puppet of the Dominion. I for one would not care to dance for the amusement of those foul elves. CWDialogueHellos That we have forgotten them, this I fear the gods will remember. CWDialogueHellos Before we wage war upon our foes, we must wage a war against our lesser selves. Cleave to your higher voice and with it shatter your foes. CWDialogueHellos I'll fight the entire Legion myself if they dare show their faces here. CWDialogueHellos Legion soldiers gleam like fresh-fallen snow and clank like a kitchen. They head this way, we'll know it. CWDialogueHellos I long to be out there, with my brothers, waging war against the Empire. CWDialogueHellos Keep an eye out for Stormcloak spies. CWDialogueHellos Been so long since I killed a Stormcloak, my sword arm's getting flabby. CWDialogueHellos Stay alert. Never know when those Stormcloak dogs might charge. CWDialogueSoldiersIdle I'll keep watch in case Ulfric comes through here. Talos guide the both of you. CWDialogueSoldiersIdle I'll keep watch in case Ulfric comes through here. Talos guide the both of you. CWDialogueSoldiersIdle I'll stay here and wait for General Tullius. Good luck you two. CWDialogueSoldiersIdle I'll stay here and wait for General Tullius. Good luck you two. CWFieldCOFollowUp1B Ulfric and his thugs are stirring up trouble for their own agenda. The Empire is the only thing keeping the Dominion from walking all over Skyrim. CWFieldCOFollowUp1B It matters little if some of the people here are ignorant to that truth. They are still citizens of the Empire. It's our solemn duty to protect them. CWFieldCOFollowup2B Back in 42 I was stationed in Hammerfell, on leave in Sentinel, trying to track down some refugee relatives who had fled persecution in Alinor. CWFieldCOFollowup2B Suddenly an explosion of magic in the refugee quarter. Thalmor mages were attacking the Altmer dissidents who were resisting with magic of their own. CWFieldCOFollowup2B I ran to the scene with other Legionaries who where stationed there, but the entire quarter was a smoking ruin by the time we arrived. CWFieldCOFollowup2B Everyone was dead. Wholesale slaughter. The Dominion, not content with killing dissidents at home, came to Hammerfell to finish the job. CWFieldCOFollowup2B We're supposedly at peace now. But I put in to be stationed here to keep an eye on the Thalmor. I've a feeling they're behind this unrest in Skyrim. CWFinaleExecutionBlockingTopic I'm ready. I made my peace with the gods long ago. CWFinaleExecutionBlockingTopic What are you waiting for? Do it! CWFinaleExecutionBlockingTopic With me, you kill Skyrim's last hope. Mark my words. You'll all be serving elven masters soon. And know then, that I would have stopped them. CWFinaleExecutionBlockingTopic By the gods, stop toying with me and do it! CWFinaleExecutionBlockingTopic Oh my. That... CWFinaleExecutionBlockingTopic You... you go first. CWFinaleExecutionTopic Well, Dragonborn. What do you say? Do you want the honor? CWFinaleExecutionTopic Song or not, I just want it done. CWFinaleExecutionTopic Good point. CWFinaleExecutionTopic By the gods! If it's a good ending to some damn story you're after - perhaps the Dragonborn should be the one to do it. CWFinaleExecutionTopic Come, Galmar. Where's your sense of the dramatic moment? CWFinaleExecutionTopic Just kill him and let's be done with it already. CWFinaleExecutionTopic So be it. CWFinaleExecutionTopic That Empire is dead. And so are you. CWFinaleExecutionTopic The Empire I remember never surrendered. CWFinaleExecutionTopic And if I surrender? CWFinaleExecutionTopic It makes us right. CWFinaleExecutionTopic You just said it yourself. CWFinaleExecutionTopic Perhaps you're right. But then what does that make you? CWFinaleExecutionTopic Maybe not, but you certainly aren't the good guys. CWFinaleExecutionTopic We aren't the bad guys you know. CWFinaleExecutionTopic Heh. CWFinaleExecutionTopic It's a little more than a rebellion, don't you think? CWFinaleExecutionTopic The Thalmor. They stirred up trouble here. Forced us to divert needed resources and throw away good soldiers quelling this rebellion. CWFinaleExecutionTopic What who wanted? CWFinaleExecutionTopic You realize this is exactly what they wanted. CWFinaleExecutionTopic This is it for you. Any last words before I send you to Oblivion? CWFinaleExecutionTopicChoice1 As you wish. CWFinaleExecutionTopicChoice1 Well, I'm not quite done myself. CWFinaleExecutionTopicChoice2 As you wish. This moment, we three, will be immortalized in song. CWFinaleExecutionTopicChoice2 Fine by me. CWFinaleExecutionTopicChoice3 Dragonborn. Here, use my sword to do it. This moment will be immortalized in song. Make it a good kill. CWFinaleExecutionTopicChoice3 Here, use my sword to do it. I made sure to sharpen it for the occasion. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic Oh, and Legate. It's been an honor to have you at my side. As a token of my appreciation, I want you to keep my sword. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic And now, to deliver a speech. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic Stormblade. I want you to have my sword, a token of my appreciation. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic Now then. The men will expect a speech. Will you stand by my side? I wish to honor you, Dragonborn and the truest of Stormcloaks. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic The men will expect a speech. Will you stand by my side? I wish to honor you, Dragonborn and the truest of Stormcloaks. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic Don't you worry about her. I've sent my best men to round her up. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic Don't you worry about him. I've sent my best men to round him up. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic And Elisif? CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic And Erikur? CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic I'll go gather the men in the courtyard. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic Well, I suppose some kind of speech is in order. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic Good. It's done. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic Geh, Sahloknir, kaali mir. CWFinaleHonorPlayerTopic Alduin, thuri! Boaan tiid vokriiha suleyksejun kruziik? CWFinaleLeaveMeOut Oh, why is that? CWFinaleManyDied On the contrary, you exceed the rest. CWFinaleManyDied But, I will honor your request. The gods know of your victories, and they themselves will glory in your deeds. CWFinaleMyOwnReasons A man's heart is his own burden to bear, so I will honor your request, though it casts a bit of gloom on an otherwise glorious day. CWFinaleNotWorthIt There's no shame in such thoughts. A man without doubts is a man without a conscience. CWFinaleNotWorthIt But rest assured. We've won Skyrim's right to determine her own future. And for that, every Nord praises us. CWFinaleNotWorthIt But I will heed your wishes. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionA You're a cold hearted bastard, aren't you? CWFinaleSceneInterruptionA I fear that will be the way of it. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionA A true Nord never fears death. It's the how and why of it that one needs consider. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionB Aye, I'll hate it, but I'll do it if I have to. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionB It's up to her, isn't it? CWFinaleSceneInterruptionB If that must be, then it will. And why should I be any different? How many the lives already lost. What's one more? CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Always was a stubborn woman. She's not going to stand down. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic War always comes down to this, doesn't it? A single truth-laden moment. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Dragonborn... Perhaps this is the fate of Skyrim after all. To be destroyed from the inside. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic You've left me no choice... CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Talos preserve us. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Rikke. You don't have to do this. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic That's not the Skyrim I want to live in. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Damnit woman, stand aside. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic This is what you wanted? Shield brothers and sisters killing each other? CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Families torn apart? CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic This is the Skyrim you want?! CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic You're also free to die for it. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic I'm also free to stay and fight for what I believe in. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Rikke. Go. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic You're free to leave. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic He has given up. But I have not. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Stand aside woman. We've come for the General. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic You're a damn fool. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic The Empire is weak, obsolete. Look at how far we've come and with so little. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic When we're done rooting out Imperial influence here at home, then we will take our war to the Aldmeri Dominion. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic You were there with us. You saw it. The day the Empire signed that damn treaty was the day the Empire died. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic You're wrong. Ulfric. We need the Empire. Without it Skyrim will assuredly fall to the Dominion. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Stop what? Taking Skyrim back from those who'd leave her to rot? CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Ulfric. Stop. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Already done. CWFinaleSceneInterruptionTopic Secure the door. CWFinaleWalkWithMe Come, at the very least walk out with me. CWFinaleYes Very good. Come, the people await us. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic The fiercest of the remaining rebels will continue to harass us, but by in large, the people here desire peace. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic What I'm not so sure about is the peace we've made with the Thalmor. But we'll keep that between the two of us, alright? CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic There are those who still call themselves Stormcloaks, who continue to fight us, and bring misery to the people... but they are few in number. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic The ordinary citizen will be happy to get back to life as normal, to have their families return home. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic And they should enjoy it while they can... I suspect all of Tamriel will again be called to arms in the not too distant future. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic There will be peace for a time, during which we must rebuild Skyrim into the land it once was. Strong. Self-reliant. The center of mankind. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic Because getting rid of the Empire was only half the problem. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic Soon, the elves will again seek to rule the world. We must ready ourselves to fight them. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic For it will be Skyrim that shall lead Tamriel in those dark days, when the fate of the world is finally determined. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic Peace? When has any Nord ever known peace? Skyrim breeds warriors. It's who we are, it's in our blood. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic And that's as it should be. In the darkest days ahead, it'll be us Nords who lead the fight against the elves. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic It's only a matter of time before their pointy ears start itching to rule the world again. CWFinThinkPeaceWillLastTopic It'll be Skyrim that leads the charge. Mark my words. And that time around, mankind will either succeed once and for all or die trying. CWFinWhatNowTopic Ulfric is dead and his army destroyed. There's not much more I could ask of you. The gods, however, I suspect, may have plans for you elsewhere. CWFinWhatNowTopic That said, Stormcloak true believers are still operating out of hidden military camps in the hills. If you encounter any on you travels, kill them. CWFinWhatNowTopic With luck, they'll soon lose heart and return to their homes and families. If not, we'll be forced to put them all to the sword. CWFinWhatNowTopic The Legion's work is far from finished, but you are free to roam. I suspect you'll be of greater good to Skyrim out there, in the world. CWFinWhatNowTopic If while you're out there, you stumble into any Stormcloak military camps, I expect you to destroy them. I've reports they are hiding in the hills. CWFinWhatNowTopic True sons and daughters of Skyrim reign in every city, we've crippled the Imperial Legion, and cut off its head by killing General Tullius himself. CWFinWhatNowTopic What more could I ask of you? No, you're free to roam. I suspect the gods have needs for you elsewhere. CWFinWhatNowTopic That said, some of the Legion's staunchest men have organized themselves, and are operating out of hidden military camps in the wilderness. CWFinWhatNowTopic If you come across any Imperials in your travels, I expect you'll know what to do. CWFinWhatNowTopic No. I trust you'll do more good out there in the world, wherever you damn well please to go. You're a true son of Skyrim. You'll know what to do. CWFinWhatNowTopic To begin with, killing any Legionnaire you find out in the wilderness. I've reports they've hidden military camps out there. CWFinWhatNowTopic No. I trust you'll do more good out there in the world, wherever you damn well please to go. You're a true daughter of Skyrim and'll know what to do. CWFinWhatNowTopic To begin with, killing any Legionnaire you find out in the wilderness. I've reports they've hidden military camps out there out there. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic No, I suspect Skyrim to be my home for many years. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic Can't say I'll ever get used to the damn cold, or understand these Nords... but, I've come to respect them. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic The harshness of Skyrim has a way of carving a man down to his true self. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic The General's put me in charge of assisting the new governments. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic I may understand things here in Skyrim better than the General, but I'm a soldier at heart, not a politician. But I'll do my best. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic This is the land of my birth, the land that shaped me. I'm proud to have any part in making it strong again. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic No, not yet. We'll wait for the Moot to name me High King. It'll be better for all that way. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic But, that doesn't mean I won't start acting like it. There's much to do. The new Jarls need help building armies, and enforcing their right to rule. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic The Empire may try to reclaim Skyrim, and I need everyone ready for that. Though the biggest threat, of course, is the elves. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic Heh. Ulfric's put me in charge of keeping an eye on the new Jarls. You know, make sure they're generally following orders. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic Can't say I'm looking forward to that. But, I'll also be training men and women for their new armies. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic The Empire might send over a few Legionnaires to make sure we're serious, and of course, we'll be taking the fight to the elves soon enough. CWFinWhatsNextForYouTopic We'll need trained, disciplined and creative warriors ready for all that. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic What? Get over with the rest of the men at Korvanjund. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Korvanjund. Remember? CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Good work! Lucky we had you with us today. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic That crown must be here somewhere. Keep looking. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic My pa always warned me not to mess with places like this. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Careful. No telling what will happen the next time you mess with that door. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Maybe that claw has a clue on it? You know, how to turn the rings so the door will open. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Keep a sharp eye out. There's no telling what we might run into in here. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic All for an old crown, huh? CWFortSiegeBranchTopic The Imperials will be sorry they got in our way. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic So far, so good. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Ulfric Stormcloak is counting on us to bring him back that crown, and that's exactly what we're going to do. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Keep your wits about you and watch your shield brother's back. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic I know some of you are ex-legion and may know men on the other side. But remember this. They are the enemy now and they will not hesitate to kill you. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Their spies must've found out we know about the Crown, and they don't want us to have it. But they won't stand in our way. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Listen up. Those Imperials aren't here by coincidence. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic General Tullius is counting on us to bring back the Jagged Crown, and that's exactly what we're going to do. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic I realize some of you may know men on the other side. But remember this. They are the enemy now and will not hesitate to end your lives either. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Ulfric the Pretender wants that crown, but we're not going to let him have it. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Listen up, legionnaires. Those Stormcloaks are here for the same reason we are. CWFortSiegeBranchTopic No... No! You must be the one who took my skooma! CWFortSiegeBranchTopic No! There's got to be more Skooma... Shut up! Shut up! Don't lie to me J'zhar! You hid it! You always try to steal it from me! CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Where is it? I know you were trying to keep it for yourself J'zhar... You always try to keep it for yourself! CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Kynareth save us, here he comes again... CWFortSiegeBranchTopic I don't know! CWFortSiegeBranchTopic Guardsman! What happened here? Where's this dragon? Quickly now! CWFortSiegeBranchTopic No! Get back! It's still here somewhere! Hroki and Tor just got grabbed when they tried to make a run for it! CWFortSiegeBranchTopic I envy you the chance to see this dragon up close! CWFortSiegeSurrender Go. Tell your commanders you have won. I, my family, and my men will be gone before they arrive. CWFortSiegeSurrender There is no point in further talk. Go now! CWFortSiegeSurrender We surrender. The capital is yours. If you pledge no harm will come of my people, I turn over the seat of power to you. CWFortSiegeSurrender It's over. No more violence. CWFortSiegeSurrender Sir... CWFortSiegeSurrender Enough! Stop! CWFortSiegeSurrender Cease fighting. It's over. CWFortSiegeSynopsisImperial Meet the soldiers preparing for the attack. Then join them in wiping out the rebels. Once you prevail we will garrison the fort. CWFortSiegeSynopsisSons Meet the brothers preparing for the attack. Then join them in wiping out the Imperials. Once you prevail we will garrison the fort. CWFriendHello1 Hello friend. CWFriendHello2 Glad you're here. CWFriendHello3 You're still alive? CWFriendHello4 Huh. I had heard you died. CWFriendHello5 I have to admit. This is more fun that I thought it'd be. CWFriendHello6 I can't remember the last time I visited home. Think I've forgotten what a proper bed looks like, let alone feels like. CWFriendHelloHadvar1 Who do you think killed more rebels? You? Or me? CWFriendHelloHadvar2 "Dragonborn" huh? Was it your ma or your pa that was the dragon? CWFriendHelloHadvar3 Ever get the impression Rikke's not always sure what side she's on? I'm not doubting her loyalty. Just, she seems rather sympathetic to the rebels. CWFriendHelloHadvar4 I don't think Rikke even knows my name. Probably because I'm not "The Dragonborn." CWFriendHelloHadvar5 Ever wonder if maybe we should a call a truce with the Stormcloaks, join forces for just a little while, and take care of some of these dragons? CWFriendHelloRalof1 Who do you think's killed more Imperials? You? Or me? CWFriendHelloRalof2 Have you always been that ugly? CWFriendHelloRalof3 I've heard some things about Ulfric I don't like, but he's right about this war and about Skyrim's future. CWFriendHelloRalof4 I don't think Galmar even knows my name. Probably because I'm not "The Dragonborn." CWFriendHelloRalof5 Ever wonder if maybe we should a call a truce with the Imperials and join forces for just a little while take care of some of these dragons? CWFriendMission1 Focus on the mission. CWFriendMission2 What? Now's not the time to chat. CWFriendMission3 This should be fun. CWFriendSiegePost You made it? I was sure I'd find you face down in the dirt. CWFriendSiegePost2 I'm pretty sure I killed more than you. I was counting. CWFriendSiegePost3 That was fun. CWFriendSiegePost4 That went pretty well, all things considered. CWFriendSiegePost5 Do colors seem brighter to you? Everything seems bigger, too. Strange... CWFriendSiegePost6 Are your ears still ringing? I hope that goes away. CWFriendSiegePost6 Get over to the capital! We're mounting our final attack! CWFriendSiegePost6 Get over to Markarth. We're mounting our final attack! CWFriendSiegePost6 Get over to Morthal. We're mounting our final attack! CWFriendSiegePost6 Get over to Falkreath. We're mounting our final attack! CWFriendSiegePost6 Get over to Whiterun. We're mounting our final attack! CWFriendSiegePost6 Get over to Dawnstar. We're mounting our final attack! CWFriendSiegePost6 Get over to Winterhold. We're mounting our final attack! CWFriendSiegePost6 Get over to Riften. We're mounting our final attack! CWFriendSiegePost6 Get over to Windhelm. We're mounting our final attack! CWFriendSiegePost6 Get down to the front line. CWFriendSiegePost6 Get down there and join Rikke on the front line. CWFriendSiegePost6 Get down there and join Galmar on the front line. CWFriendSiegePost6 I'll meet you there. CWFriendSiegePost6 We're not quite ready to muster the final attack. CWFriendSiegePost6 I need you to create some chaos in the hold so I can maneuver men into position without drawing too much attention. CWFriendSiegePost6 I need you to create some chaos in the hold. CWFriendSiegePost6 Search out enemy soldiers in the wilderness, or guarding towns and settlements, and kill them. CWFriendSiegePost6 Find enemy controlled resources like sawmills, flour-mills, and smelters, and sabotage them. CWFriendSiegePost6 And take out resources like sawmills, flour-mills, and smelters, with a little sabotage. CWFriendSiegePost6 And sabotage enemy controlled resources. CWFriendSiegePost6 If you run across any enemy couriers, take them down, and bring me whatever they're carrying. CWFriendSiegePost6 Good work! CWFriendSiegePost6 Good job! CWFriendSiegePost6 Excellent. These should come in handy. CWFriendSiegePost6 I would hate to think what would happen if this fell into enemy hands. CWFriendSiegePost6 Here. Take this for your trouble. CWFriendSiegePre1 I wonder how many of us think we'll be the lucky ones and survive this? CWFriendSiegePre2 So, do you get that weird taste in your mouth before battle, too? What is that? CWFriendSiegePre3 Pleasant weather for a war, no? CWFriendSiegePre4 Gah! Let's get on with it already! CWHello Something to report? CWHello The General and I have our disagreements, but he's the best hope for both the Empire and Skyrim. CWHello Many of my countrymen joined the rebels. They can't see the big picture. Skyrim needs the Empire as much as it needs us. CWHello Make it quick. I get enough delays from politicians. CWHello I trust this is something important? CWHello There isn't someone less busy who can help you? CWHighKingElisif Indeed, Elisif has become Jarl of Solitude, historically and conveniently home of the High King, backed by Imperial interests. CWHighKingElisif But the Moot has not yet met to name her High Queen. And they won't. Not as long as I have any say in it. CWHighKingMurder I challenged him in the traditional way, and he accepted. There were many witnesses. No "murder" was committed. CWHighKingMurder True, he didn't stand a chance against me. CWHighKingMurder But that was precisely the point! He was a puppet-king of the Empire , not a High King of Skyrim. CWHighKingMurder His father before him perhaps, but not Torygg. CWHighKingMurder He was too privileged and too foolish, more interested in entertaining his queen than ruling his country. CWHighKingTopic I killed Torygg to prove our wretched condition. How is the High King supposed to be the defender of Skyrim, if he can't even defend himself? CWHighKingYou There hasn't been a true High King in Skyrim for generations. CWHighKingYou For too long he's been hand-picked by the Emperor, and given emphatic nods by milk-drinking Jarls addicted to Imperial coin. CWHighKingYou It's time we had a real king. One of our own making. CWJarlOfWindhelmTopic My father, the great Bear of Eastmarch, died during my imprisonment after the Markarth Incident. CWJarlOfWindhelmTopic I, his only son, forced to deliver his eulogy via a letter I had smuggled out of prison. Such is the love of Titus Mede for his subjects. CWJarlOfWindhelmTopic When finally set free, I returned to Windhelm, and was greeted by a city in mourning, at one with my own grief and anger. CWJarlOfWindhelmTopic Clamoring in angry voices, calling out for justice, for war, they sat me on the throne. CWJarlOfWindhelmTopic The Throne of Ysgramor! The throne of my father... I only hope I can prove worthy of the honor. CWMerchantsVendorViewBranchTopic What do you need? CWMerchantsVendorViewBranchTopic Here's what I can spare. CWMerchantsVendorViewBranchTopic Take a look. CWMission03AcceptPrompt Well, soldier? Can you do this? CWMission03AcceptPrompt What do you say? CWMission03AcceptYesSons No, not that it's any of your business. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Oh, got a bit of an interest in your boss do you? CWMission03AcceptYesSons Leigelf is a good man, and I'm not running out on him now. CWMission03AcceptYesSons You should quit working in the Eastern Mine. Leigelf's no good to work for. CWMission03AcceptYesSons That's why I come here to talk to you. You're all heart. CWMission03AcceptYesSons You're just getting older. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Tough day at the mines. I swear the ore is getting harder to dig. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Aye, to your husband. Divines bless his memory. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Those were the days. I'd never seen my husband fight so bravely before. CWMission03AcceptYesSons You mean Hildolf the Skull-Splitter? Remember when we rounded up the townspeople and dragged him out of that cave? CWMission03AcceptYesSons Now, who was it that kidnapped the Jarl's son 20 years ago? CWMission03AcceptYesSons Animals in the Pale don't need a reason to attack Dawnstar. It's just their nature. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Never did find out why they came sprawling into town like that. CWMission03AcceptYesSons How could I forget? That old alpha male almost took off my leg. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Thoring, do you remember the time when that wolf pack come clamoring into town? CWMission03AcceptYesSons Oh, dearie, it was so long ago. But I do remember the celebration we had afterwards. Mead never tasted so good. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Who were you fighting against? CWMission03AcceptYesSons Why, I once fought alongside your father when we were both younger. Saved him from getting his fool head sliced off. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Did you ever have to fight off bandits, Frida? Like in your stories? CWMission03AcceptYesSons Dawnstar has always held its own against the bandits and wild animals of the Pale. CWMission03AcceptYesSons I was a beauty in my day, dearie. Don't act so surprised. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Frida, you aren't saying.... CWMission03AcceptYesSons Oh, he was young, and handsome. I had half a mind to go after him, myself, before I met my husband. CWMission03AcceptYesSons I can't imagine Skald ever being young. CWMission03AcceptYesSons Did I ever tell you about the day when Skald the Elder was Skald the Younger? CWMission03Bribe Well, if you insist... CWMission03Bribe Seems your purse is lighter than you thought. CWMission03CourierBye Hmph. CWMission03CourierBye Hmph. CWMission03CourierDie Is that so? CWMission03CourierDie We'll see about that. CWMission03CourierTopic Can't stop to chat, citizen. CWMission03CourierTopic No time to talk. Out of my way. CWMission03Destination I need you to deliver some false orders to the Stormcloak commander in Dawnstar. CWMission03Destination But first we need to get our hands on some rebel orders to make the forgeries. CWMission03Destination Need you to deliver some false orders to the Imperial Legate in Morthal. CWMission03Destination But first we need to get our hands on some Imperial orders to make the forgeries. CWMission03DetailsImperial We understand the Nightgate and Roughwater inns are frequent stops for Stormcloak runners. CWMission03DetailsImperial Set an ambush along the road between, or camp by one of the inns. CWMission03DetailsImperial Bring whatever he's carrying to me, and I'll send you with convincing misinformation back to Dawnstar. CWMission03DetailsImperialNEW The Nightgate and Candlehearth inns are frequent stops for Stormcloak runners. CWMission03DetailsImperialNEW See if you can't "convince" one of those innkeepers to help you. CWMission03DetailsImperialNEW One way or another, get me those documents. CWMission03DetailsImperialNEW But don't do anything rash if you go to Windhelm. CWMission03DetailsSons My scouts tell me the inns at Dragonbridge and Rorikstead are frequent stops for Imperial runners. CWMission03DetailsSons Set an ambush on the road between, or camp one of the inns. CWMission03DetailsSons Bring me whatever he's carrying, and I'll send you to Morthal with something convincing but full of lies. CWMission03DetailsSonsB The inns at Dragonbridge and Solitude are frequent stops for Imperial runners. CWMission03DetailsSonsB See if you can't "convince" one of those innkeepers to help you.

CWMission03EnemyFieldCOBluff I suppose it would be. Good thinking. CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic Is that so? Lost your uniform along the way did you, soldier? CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic Is that so? I don't recognize you. Why aren't you wearing your Stormcloak colors? CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic All right. Let's take a look... CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic Ah, good. Looks like the reinforcements for the fort are on the way. And we have some information about enemy troop movements as well. Excellent. CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic It's not easy running messages, what with Imperials scouts crawling all over the place. Well done. CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic Why don't you grab yourself a drink at the Windpeak before heading back? CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic Thank you, soldier. Let's take a look at these reports... CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic I'm waiting on word about reinforcements for the fort... Good, they're on the way. And we have some information on enemy troop movements. Excellent. CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic Stormcloak scouts are making it difficult to move around. It's good you made it here in one piece. CWMission03EnemyFieldCOTopic Why don't you have yourself a drink at the Moorside before you head back? CWMission03ForgedImperial1 Very good... Let's see what you have here. CWMission03ForgedImperial1 Interesting... They know more of our plans than I expected... CWMission03ForgedImperial1 It would seem Fort Dunstad is in need of reinforcements... We'll make sure they won't be getting those... CWMission03ForgedImperial2 One moment while I "correct" some of these documents... That should do it. CWMission03ForgedImperial3 Make sure those forged documents get to the Stormcloak commander in Dawnstar. It'll throw him off our trail, allowing us to maneuver more freely. CWMission03ForgedSons1 Good work! Let's see what you got. CWMission03ForgedSons1 Hmm... They know more of our plans than I thought... Not good... CWMission03ForgedSons1 Oh, what's this? Fort Snowhawk is in need of reinforcements... We'll make sure they won't be getting those... CWMission03ForgedSons2 Give me a moment while I make a few, um, "corrections" to these reports... There we go. CWMission03ForgedSons3 Make sure those forged documents get to the Legate in Morthal. They should give them the wrong idea... and us the advantage. CWMission03InnkeeperHere He's in the inn. Look around. I'm sure you'll find him. CWMission03InnkeeperLeft He was here, but he left. If you leave now, you can probably catch him. CWMission03InnkeeperLeft Or, you can just wait here. He'll be back soon enough. CWMission03InnkeeperLives It is? Well that's different. CWMission03InnkeeperPersuade Yeah, sure it is. You don't fool me. CWMission03InnkeeperPrivacy I tend to keep my patrons' privacy. CWMission03Intimidate Now, now! That won't be necessary. CWMission03Nevermind Hmph. CWMission03NewIntroImperial Need you to deliver some false orders to the Stormcloak commander in Dawnstar. CWMission03NewIntroImperial Once you find the courier's route, kill him and take his place. CWMission03NewIntroSons Need you to deliver some false orders to the Imperial Legate in Morthal. CWMission03NewIntroSons Once you find the courier's route, kill him and take his place. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic I did, and I will. It's just tougher than I thought. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic You assured me that you could find it, however. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic Not yet. You know you're asking for some pretty strange stuff, don't you? It's not easy to find. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic Have you gotten the items I requested from you? CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic I'm fully aware of the terms of our... arrangement. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic Well, you know the drill. You don't see it here, it's gonna cost you extra for me to get it. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic Perhaps, perhaps. I'm not quite sure what I need. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic You looking for anything in particular this time? CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic Yeah, well I don't see anything. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic I certainly hope so, otherwise I'm wasting my time. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic You got anything in here worth buying? CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic Don't sass me, little girl. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic Always looking on the bright side, aren't you. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic Same as ever. Trying to keep from freezing to death, trying to keep food on the table. CWMission03RemindSynopsisTopic How are you today, Thaena? CWMission04FriendFrontal I have faith in you. CWMission04FriendFrontal But, if you find more trouble than you can handle, run out to the courtyard. We'll come as soon as we hear fighting. CWMission04FriendPlan We found a cave under the lake. With luck, it'll lead into the prison. CWMission04FriendPlan I need you to sneak in there, and free our men, killing anyone inside as you go. Once you've rescued the prisoners, head out to the courtyard. CWMission04FriendPlan We'll stand guard out here and rush in as soon as we hear fighting. CWMission04FriendPlan Should be fun. CWMission04FriendPlan There's a grate outside the wall. Looks like it used to be buried in snow. I don't think they know it's there. CWMission04FriendPlan From the look of it, I'd bet it leads straight into the prison. CWMission04FriendPlan I need you to sneak in there, and free our men, killing anyone inside as you go. Once you've rescued the prisoners, head out to the courtyard. CWMission04FriendPlan We'll stand guard out here and rush in as soon as we hear fighting. CWMission04FriendTopic Hey there! Can you believe this place? So cold my breath turns to icicles! What are we even doing up here? CWMission04FriendTopic Guess Tullius wants to make sure everything's locked down before launching a serious campaign for Eastmarch. CWMission04FriendTopic Anyway, I'm glad you're here. We're outnumbered again, more so than when we took that wagon. But if we work together, we can pull this off. CWMission04FriendTopic Break our men out and head to the courtyard. We'll meet you there. CWMission04FriendTopic I can't believe we're the only ones who survived. CWMission04FriendTopic Glad you were here. CWMission04FriendTopic I guess... I'll hold down the fort by my lonesome. Hurry back and tell them to send a garrison. Quickly! CWMission04FriendTopic You go report our success. I'll set up a garrison here. A shame none of the prisoners made it, but their names will be remembered. CWMission04FriendTopic Glad you were here. Couldn't have done it without you! CWMission04FriendTopic Great work! Get back and report our success. I'll stay here and clean up the mess. CWMission04FriendTopic Glad you were here. Couldn't have done it without you! CWMission04FriendYes You should wait until night fall before trying to sneak in. Talos preserve you. CWMission04FriendYes Talos preserve you. CWMission04InfoAttackPoint Yes, papa. CWMission04InfoAttackPoint Inside the house. Now. CWMission04InfoAttackPoint Why? I want to watch the soldiers. CWMission04PrisonerHelp1 Hey! CWMission04PrisonerHelp2 Get me out of here! CWMission04PrisonerHelp3 Hurry! CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 The guard has the key. CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 As you command. CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 No. I can't afford to risk both of you. I need you here working on ways to defend the city against these dragons. CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 I should come along. I would very much like to see this dragon. CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 Don't worry, my lord. I'm the very soul of caution. CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 Tell him what you told me. About the dragon. CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 So, Irileth tells me you came from the western watchtower? CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 I'd take this a bit more seriously if I were you. If a dragon decides to attack Whiterun I don't know if we can stop it. CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 A dragon! How exciting! Where was it seen? What was it doing? CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 You should come, too. CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 Farengar, you need to come at once. A dragon's been sighted nearby. CWMission04PrisonerHelp4 Farengar! CWMission04PrisonerThanksTopic Thanks! CWMission04PrisonerThanksTopic Let's teach these bastards a lesson. CWMission04PrisonerThanksTopic All right! CWMission04PrisonerThanksTopic Last but not least. Let's go! CWMission04PrisonerTopic You're gonna get me out of here? CWMission04PrisonerTopic Thanks! I thought I was going to rot in here. So what's the plan? CWMission04PrisonerTopic What's the plan? CWMission04PrisonerTopic There's more of them somewhere around here. CWMission04PrisonerTopic Thanks again. CWMission07AboutAmbushImperial It just so happens, I've got some scouts along the road. Meet up with them, and together see if you can't overpower the caravan. CWMission07AboutAmbushSons It just so happens, I've got some scouts along the road. Meet up with them, and together see if you can't overpower the caravan. CWMission07AboutAmbushTopic Excellent work. I knew you'd bring back something useful. CWMission07AboutAmbushTopic Good job. I knew you'd come back with something for me. CWMission07AcceptPrompt This will require stealth and discretion. The Jarl's guards won't take kindly to anyone rummaging through her Steward's private quarters. CWMission07AcceptPrompt You'll need to be careful with this one. The Jarl's men won't look kindly on you rummaging through the steward's quarters. CWMission07AcceptYes Good. I can always count on you, can't I? CWMission07AcceptYes I can always count on you, can't I? CWMission07AmbushAimTarget1Topic There's a sentry patrolling the hill. We'll go in quiet and drop him with a combined arrow barrage. Keep low, fire on my word. CWMission07AmbushAimTarget1Topic There's a sentry patrolling the area. We'll go in quiet and drop him with a combined arrow barrage. Keep low, fire on my word. CWMission07AmbushCoverYouTopic All right. You infiltrate their camp, we'll cover you from the ridge. Good luck! CWMission07AmbushCoverYouTopic All right. You infiltrate their camp, we'll cover you. Good luck! CWMission07AmbushFireTopic Fire! CWMission07BetterPlan All right, if you insist. But we'll come running if it sounds like things have gotten out of hand. CWMission07BlackmailAlrighWhere They're taking it by wagon to Windhelm. If you hurry, you'll catch them before they get far. CWMission07BlackmailAlrighWhere It'll be a fairly slow moving caravan. The shipment is quite heavy, and guarded by many men. CWMission07BlackmailAlrighWhere Now, let's pretend we never had this discussion. CWMission07BlackmailAlrighWhere They're taking it by wagon to Solitude. If you hurry, you'll catch them before they get far. CWMission07BlackmailAlrighWhere It'll be a fairly slow moving caravan. The shipment is quite heavy, and guarded by many men. CWMission07BlackmailAlrighWhere Now, let's pretend we never had this discussion. CWMission07BlackmailDone What if I told you about a large shipment of gold and weapons? CWMission07BlackmailDone What if I told you about a large shipment of silver and weapons? CWMission07BlackmailExplain Not here. Come with me. CWMission07BlackmailExplain Stay close and the guards will leave you alone. CWMission07BlackmailExplain I suppose you're here to extort something from me? Is that it? CWMission07BlackmailExplain Well, what is it you want? CWMission07BlackmailExplain One more time, and the World-Eater must face us! CWMission07BlackmailExplain His power crumbles - do not pause for breath! CWMission07BlackmailExplain Again, and we break his grim hold over Shor's realm, and redeem it for eternity! CWMission07BlackmailExplain Stand fast! His strength is failing! Once more, and his might will be broken! CWMission07BlackmailExplain Does his strength have no end? Is our struggle in vain? CWMission07BlackmailExposeA So. You're an Imperial spy... Interesting... CWMission07BlackmailExposeA I have no strong love for the Stormcloaks but I can't say I'm all that fond of the Empire, either. CWMission07BlackmailExposeA This war of yours makes it difficult for a resourceful woman to advance her interests. CWMission07BlackmailExposeA Perhaps we can find a way for both of us to prosper from this unfortunate discovery? CWMission07BlackmailExposeA So. You're one of Ulfric's spies... CWMission07BlackmailExposeA I can't deny the man is right about a few things... CWMission07BlackmailExposeA But I've seen first hand what Ulfric is capable of, given the chance. Suffice it to say, he is no friend to Markarth, and no friend of mine. CWMission07BlackmailExposeA My first and only loyalties are to my nephew, and to this city. CWMission07BlackmailExposeB It would ruin me. CWMission07BlackmailExposeB I have a good thing going here. The Jarl benefits from my more creative arrangements as well, though it'd be impossible for her to admit that. CWMission07BlackmailExposeB Laila is a simple and traditional woman. Which makes it easy to manipulate her, but impossible to regain her graces once offended. CWMission07BlackmailExposeB Look. Perhaps we could come to some kind of agreement? CWMission07BlackmailExposeB The Thalmor would need to make an example of me... I'd be thrown into prison, but our family's honor would be stained for generations. CWMission07BlackmailExposeB I'm the Jarl's uncle. He, his father, and I, swore oaths to the Empire to abandon Talos, as conditions of our return to the city. CWMission07BlackmailGoOn Oh, no. I'm no fool. You'll learn what you need to know once we've come to an agreement. CWMission07BlackmailGoOn Oh, no. I won't tell you anything more until we have an agreement. CWMission07BlackmailHowMuch Enough to make a significant difference in the war. CWMission07BlackmailHowMuch Enough to make a significant difference in the war. CWMission07BlackmailPersonal Well I... CWMission07BlackmailPersonal I suppose I'm not left much choice in the matter, am I? CWMission07BlackmailPersonal Very well. I trust a hefty purse of septims will suffice? CWMission07BlackmailPersonal I don't think so. How do I know you won't continue to extort me? A wagon full of gold isn't good enough for you? CWMission07BlackmailPersonal Well I... CWMission07BlackmailPersonal I suppose I'm not left much choice in the matter, am I? CWMission07BlackmailPersonal Very well. I trust a hefty purse of septims will suffice? CWMission07BlackmailPersonal I don't think so. How do I know you won't continue to extort me? A wagon loaded with silver isn't good enough for you? CWMission07FriendBlackmail That was crafty. I'm sure having a steward in the pocket will come in handy. CWMission07FriendBlackmail Lucky for us, that the wagon recently had a little accident. They're stranded now. Just up the road! CWMission07FriendBlackmail We're outnumbered, but I have a plan. CWMission07FriendBlackmail You got here just in time. CWMission07FriendDoesntMatter Oh, fine. Keep your secrets. I see how it is. CWMission07FriendDoesntMatter That wagon recently had a little accident. They're stranded now, just up the road. CWMission07FriendDoesntMatter We're outnumbered, but I have a plan. CWMission07FriendDoesntMatter You got here just in time. CWMission07FriendTopic Hey there! I was wondering if I'd run into you out here. CWMission07FriendTopic The Reach is a beautiful but dangerous place, eh? One false step and you'll fall to your death, that is if those Forsworn don't get you first. CWMission07FriendTopic Have you seen those Briarheart men? That's some evil magic right there. CWMission07FriendTopic What brings you? You have the look of purpose in your eyes. CWMission07FriendTopic Ready to do this? CWMission07FriendTopic We're going to take out their sentry, then sneak into their camp and ambush them. CWMission07FriendTopic We make quite a team, eh? CWMission07FriendTopic I'll stay here and guard the shipment. You get back to camp with news. CWMission07FriendTopic Have them send some men - with a new wagon. This one isn't going anywhere. CWMission07FriendWagon Really? It just so happens we've been tracking a wagon! For about a day now. CWMission07FriendWagon So that's what's in there? Coins and weapons? How do you know that? CWMission07LetsGo Good. CWMission07SynopsisImperial My spies report the Jarl's Steward, Anuriel, has arrangements with the Thieves Guild that would be rather embarrassing if made public. CWMission07SynopsisImperial I need you to find evidence of her corrupt activities, and use it to gain a measure of her "cooperation." CWMission07SynopsisSons Rumor has it the Jarl's Steward, Raerek, is a faithful Talos worshipper, if not a true son of Skyrim - he still supports the Empire, after all. CWMission07SynopsisSons But, if confronted with proof of his belief, you might be able to "persuade" him to aid our cause, indirectly of course. CWMission07SynopsisSons Wouldn't want to sully his reputation, would we? CWMission07WaitDark Good idea. Let me know when you're ready. CWMission07WaitDark Let me know when you're ready. CWMission07WaitForItTopic We'll get him when he comes back around. Hold your fire. CWMission07WaitForItTopic Release the Miasma! Release it now! Hurry, Casimir, hurry! CWMission07WaitForItTopic We can't hold them! Go, Casimir! Run! CWMission07WaitForItTopic We can't hold them back! Go! Get to the Barrier! Release the Miasma! CWMission07WaitForItTopic Keep going, Casimir! Release the Miasma! CWMission07WaitForItTopic Prepare yourself. CWMission07WaitForItTopic Beyond these doors is the inner sanctum and the Skull of Corruption. CWMission07WaitForItTopic Quickly! Kill him now. Kill him and claim the Skull for your own! Vaermina commands you! CWMission07WaitForItTopic When the ritual's complete, the Skull will be free and then Erandur will turn on you. CWMission07WaitForItTopic He's deceiving you. CWMission07WaitForItTopic It feels good to finally have a chance to help these people. Helplessly watching them suffer's been difficult. CWMission07WaitForItTopic Follow me, it's this way. CWMission07WaitForItTopic Perhaps my prayers were answered and your reason for stumbling across Dawnstar is more than a mere coincidence. CWMission07WaitForItTopic There's a small shrine to Mara I established inside the tower's entry hall. I was hoping to seek spiritual guidance from Her. CWMission07WaitForItTopic The temple's been abandoned for decades now. Ironic isn't it... a ruin within a ruin? CWMission07WaitForItTopic When the temple was active the priests would rarely be seen in Dawnstar. They preferred to live a solitary existence. CWMission07WaitForItTopic I'm not familiar with the tower's history, but it was deserted for quite a long time before Nightcaller Temple was established inside. CWMission07WaitForItTopic The tower on that hill is our destination. People around here call it the Tower of the Dawn. CWMission07WhatsPlan First, we're going to take out their sentry, then we'll situate ourselves overlooking the camp. CWMission07WhatsPlan Next, you'll infiltrate their position and get their attention while we hit them with a barrage of arrows. CWMission07WhatsPlan With a bit of luck, we'll catch them completely off guard and even the odds a little. CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHello Well, well. Look who it is! How have you been? CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloBad These are dark days. But at least we know we're doing our part to make things better, eh? CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloBad I guess I'm doing all right. I need this to go well. This is my first real command since they promoted me after Whiterun. CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloBad You know, some nights when I close my eyes, I see the battle stretched out before me, like I'm still there... CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloBad Do the men you killed haunt you? Mine do... CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloGetOnWithIt Straight to business with you, huh? CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloGetOnWithIt Well, it just so happens I have the perfect mission for you. CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloGood Good to hear. CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloGood I need this to go well. This is my first real command since they promoted me after Whiterun. CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloGood You know, some nights when I close my eyes, I see the battle stretched out before me, like I'm still there... CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloGood Do the men you've killed haunt you? Mine do... CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloKillWithFeeling I suppose you're right... they say it gets easier... CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloKillWithFeeling I'm not sure if that's a good thing... CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloKillWithFeeling But never mind all that. We've got a job to do. CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloKillWithFeelingB I suppose you're right... they say it gets easier... CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloKillWithFeelingB I'm not sure if that's a good thing... CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloKillWithFeelingB But never mind all that. What brings you out this way? CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloNewlyReacquainted I remember you... you were with us at Helgen, and Whiterun. Glad to have you with us. How are you? CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloYouOrThem That's what I keep telling myself. CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloYouOrThem But, never mind all that. We've got a job to do. Don't we? CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloYouOrThemB That's what I keep telling myself. CWMissionFriendAfterWhiterunHelloYouOrThemB But, never mind all that. What brings you out this way? CWOrdersTopic The rebels have agreed to cease hostilities until we hash out this treaty. Suffice it to say I'm not holding my breath. CWOrdersTopic For the moment we have ceased hostilities. We'll see what these Imperials have to say. I doubt we'll come to any lasting agreement. CWOrdersTopic Things are quiet for the moment. That won't last long. As soon as a new campaign starts, I want you there. Stay close. See me tomorrow. CWOrdersTopic The gods have granted us peace for the moment. But that won't last long. I'm sure trouble will be stirred up soon enough. CWPrepareCitySoldierWarnTopic Tread lightly in the Hall. We don't know what's in there. CWPrisonerFollower Good! I've got a few scores to settle. CWPrisonerFollower Great, let's go! CWPrisonerFollower Lead the way. CWPrisonerWait All right. CWPrisonerWait Will do. CWPromotionImperial1 I'm promoting you to Quaestor. CWPromotionImperial1 Take this blade, a symbol of your new station and responsibility. I'll keep an eye on your progress. The Empire rewards excellence, and so do I. CWPromotionImperial2 Battles are won by trained and disciplined men. Wars are won by talented and exceptional individuals. CWPromotionImperial2 I'm raising you to Praefect. Take this blade, as a gift and symbol of your new rank. You've earned it. CWPromotionImperial3 You've come a long way. I don't think we could do without you. I'm hereby raising you to Tribune. Congratulations. CWPromotionImperial3 Here, take this gift as a sign of the Empire's appreciation, and my own. CWPromotionImperial4 I have come to rely heavily upon you. It is only fitting that you join the upper echelon. I am hereby elevating you to the rank of Legate. CWPromotionImperial4 On behalf of the Empire, and myself, please accept this gift along with your new rank. CWPromotionImperial4 Congratulations. CWPromotionImperialCoward However, I'm disappointed to hear that you fled from the field of battle. We do not reward cowardice in the Legion. I expect better of you. CWPromotionSons1 We'll call you Ice-Veins now, for the thick blood of our land has seeped into your heart. CWPromotionSons1 Here, take this. It's an Imperial officer's sword. A fitting weapon to use against our enemy. CWPromotionSons2 Some brothers have taken to calling you Bone-Breaker, evidence of your ferocity and determination. A fitting name. So we shall all call you thus. CWPromotionSons2 The war demands so much from us, and we give all we have to it and to the people... but I've kept a little something to offer you in appreciation. CWPromotionSons2 Please take this on behalf of all the brothers and sisters. CWPromotionSons2 And I need capable and loyal warriors close at hand. So I'd like to offer you a home in Windhelm. Speak with my steward who'll make the arrangements. CWPromotionSons3 Multitudes of our enemies are buried in an avalanche of pain and retribution delivered by your hands. I shall call you Snow-Hammer now. CWPromotionSons3 You show great passion for battle, and compassion for those we fight for. You are becoming indispensable to our cause. CWPromotionSons3 We do what we do out of love for our brothers and sisters. Here, take this as a token of such love reciprocated. CWPromotionSons4 You've become a true hero of Skyrim. I number you among my kin. You shall now be known as Stormblade. CWPromotionSons4 The love of the land and her people flows from your heart, even as death to her enemies flows from your hands. CWPromotionSons4 On behalf of the sons and daughters of Skyrim, on behalf of all that is righteous and true, take this token of our appreciation for your service. CWPromotionSonsCoward But I'm disappointed to hear you ran away from the battle. The gods do not reward cowardice. Nor do I. I expect better from you. CWReasonsFieldCO My parents were traveling merchants eventually settling in Cyrodiil. I must have inherited their wanderlust... CWReasonsFieldCO I joined the Legion to see the world. I know, that's one of those things people say, but it's completely true in my case. CWReasonsFieldCO Wasn't long before I saw more of the world than I bargained for. CWReasonsFieldCODone For the glory of the Empire. CWReasonsFieldCOFollowup1 Home? Home to me is a hot cup of ale at the end of the day and five minutes without someone needing something from me... CWReasonsFieldCOFollowup1 Cyrodiil is a beautiful place, full of diverse peoples and histories. But so too, Hammerfell and Skyrim, and every other place I've been. CWReasonsFieldCOFollowup1 Don't get me wrong, every country has its dark corners. But that's why we're here. To bring order and civilization, and to protect the people. CWReasonsFieldCOFollowup2 The life of a soldier is full of hardship. That's nothing. CWReasonsFieldCOFollowup2 But they send the Legion to places that've gotten too bad to be settled without violence. What's hard is seeing good people warped by evil. CWReasonsFieldCOFollowup2 And I've seen the face of evil. It was in the air above Sentinel on the Night of Green Fire. CWReasonsGalmar Reasons? Since when does a man need a reason to protect his family, to defend his homeland? CWReasonsGalmar It's the damn outlanders and Empire that need the reasons. CWReasonsGalmarEmpire Not this Empire. The world's better without it. Certainly Skyrim is. CWReasonsGalmarEmpire I fought in the Imperial army in the War against the Dominion. I bled and spilt blood for the Empire. And for what? CWReasonsGalmarEmpire The Empire to bend its knee before those evil elf bastards? Signing a treaty meant to kill the heart of the Empire itself. To deny Talos? CWReasonsGalmarEmpire No. I will have no part of any such Empire. And I will gladly gut anyone who says otherwise. CWReasonsGalmarNevermind Enough talk. There's much to do. CWReasonsGalmarOutlanders I oppose tyranny. I oppose those who tell me how to live, what to think, and what to believe. CWReasonsGalmarOutlanders I'm a man. Skyrim is man's homeland. That's a fact. A fact I'm proud of. There's no shame in that. Read your history. CWReasonsRikke I am a loyal citizen of the Empire. My parents were Legionnaires, and I've followed in their footsteps. CWReasonsRikke But more importantly, I am a daughter of Skyrim and wish to see her made whole again. CWReasonsRikkeDaughter I've been a daughter of Skyrim all my life. I love this land and her people. So do all the Nords that serve the Empire. CWReasonsRikkeDaughter Ulfric, too, once. He wasn't always a self-serving ego-maniac. He fought in the Imperial army in the War against the Dominion. CWReasonsRikkeDaughter But Ulfric and his "Stormcloaks" are deluding themselves. If there's any hope of a long term victory against the Dominion, it's in the Empire. CWReasonsRikkeDaughter The rebels are only inflaming the tension and weakening the Empire by distracting it from its ultimate aim. CWReasonsRikkeNevermind If that's all, there's pressing concerns that need dealing with. CWReasonsRikkeTalos I'm a soldier, not a politician. And my personal beliefs are not yours to question. CWReasonsRikkeThalmor I consider this conversation over. CWRescueImperial The rebels are keeping some of our men prisoner there. I aim to turn that into an advantage. CWRescueImperial I've sent men to scout out the area. You are to meet them, find a way to slip in, free our men, and take over the fort. CWRescueImperial They won't be expecting an attack from the inside. CWRescueROEImperial Go in quiet, break our man out, then get out of there. Don't risk combat if you can avoid it. If you can't, then give 'em hell. CWRescueROESons Go quiet, break him out, then run. This isn't a suicide mission. Don't risk combat if you can avoid it. If you can't, then give 'em hell. CWRescueSons They have some of our boys locked up there. But with a little luck, we can turn that to our advantage. CWRescueSons I've sent some men to scout out the area. Meet them, see if you can't find a way to slip in, free our men, and take over the fort. CWRescueSons They'll never suspect an attack from the inside.

CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons Leave that dog alone! CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons Hey, that's a valuable animal! CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons That's it. Don't say I didn't warn you. CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons That's it. I'm placing you under arrest. CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons This is your last warning. Get away from there, or else. CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons This is your last warning. Get out, or get arrested. CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons You're trespassing here. You'd better clear out. CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons You should have listened. Guards! Help! Trespasser! CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons Guards! Trespasser! CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons I'm not going to warn you again. Get out, or I'll call the guards! CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons Last warning. Leave, now.

CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons By Ysmir, a thief! CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons You thieving little elf! CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons You dirty, filching lizard! CWSoldierGenericSceneClose3Sons What are you doing, s'wit? CWSoldierGenericSceneCloser1Imperial My father was a Legionnaire, and his before him. I guess I never considered doing anything else. CWSoldierGenericSceneCloser2Imperial I signed on 'cause I couldn't watch the Stormcloaks tearing everything apart and not do something. But, most of my family disagrees with my choice. CWSoldierGenericSceneCloser3Imperial I know it's what everyone says, "To go to new places and see the world." But it's true in my case... I never bargained on seeing more than I liked. CWSoldierGenericSceneOpener1Imperial So why'd you join up with the Legion? CWSoldierGenericSceneOpener1Sons So, why'd you join the Stormcloaks? CWSoldierGenericSceneOpener2Imperial How'd you end up here? CWSoldierGenericSceneOpener2Sons What are your thoughts on all this? CWSoldierGenericSceneOpener3Imperial What are your thoughts on all this? CWSoldierGenericSceneOpener3Sons So what's your story? CWSoldierGratitude1 We sure showed them, eh? Thanks for your part in all that. CWSoldierGratitude2 Good job out there. Glad you were with us. CWSoldierGratitude3 Thanks. Couldn't have done that without you. CWSoldierSharedEnemyImperial1 Damn Stormcloak rebels. CWSoldierSharedEnemyImperial2 What the rebels like to forget, is that the Empire's what's keeping the Dominion out of Skyrim. CWSoldierSharedEnemyImperial3 Can't wait to kill another of Ulfric's boys. CWSoldierSharedEnemySons1 Damn faithless Imperials. CWSoldierSharedEnemySons2 Next Imperial I see is dead. CWSoldierSharedEnemySons3 We'll show those faithless dogs who this land belongs to. CWSoldierSharedGenericResponseImperial1 Stay sharp. CWSoldierSharedGenericResponseImperial2 Keep your guard up. CWSoldierSharedGenericResponseImperial3 Keep an eye out for trouble. It's only a matter of time. CWSoldierSharedGenericResponseSons1 Keep your eyes open. CWSoldierSharedGenericResponseSons2 Fight or die well. CWSoldierSharedGenericResponseSons3 Talos guide you. CWSoldierSharedWaitingAttackImperial1 Can't wait to gut one of those rebels. CWSoldierSharedWaitingAttackImperial2 Soon. I can almost taste it. CWSoldierSharedWaitingAttackSons1 Can't wait to kill another Imperial. CWSoldierSharedWaitingAttackSons2 Gah. Let's do this already. I'm itching to kill something. CWSoldierSharedWaitingDefendImperial1 Well? Where the hell are those damned Stormcloaks? Let's get this over with already. CWSoldierSharedWaitingDefendImperial2 If those rebels think they can best us, they have another think coming. CWSoldierSharedWaitingDefendSons1 What's taking them so long? Did they get lost? Let's get this over with already. CWSoldierSharedWaitingDefendSons2 Can't wait to see the look on their faces when they find us here waiting to spill their blood. CWSoldierSharedWaitingImperial The waiting... the insufferable waiting. CWSoldierSharedWaitingSons By the Nine, I hate the waiting. The goddamned waiting. CWSuccessAttackSettlementSons You gave those mongrels a real whipping, eh? Good work. We'll be sure to send a garrison to reinforce the area and keep the peace. CWSuccessCourierInterceptImperial Well done, indeed. This will be of great service. Understanding the enemy's position makes us all the more equipped to usurp it. CWSuccessCourierInterceptImperial And with the rebels thinking us occupied elsewhere for the time being, we'll be able to take them by surprise. CWSuccessCourierInterceptSons Good work. Knowing more about the enemy's position makes it that much easier to take it from him. CWSuccessCourierInterceptSons And of course, they'll be caught off guard thinking we're off doing something altogether different. CWSuccessRescuePOWImperial You made it! I'm impressed. It was a gamble, but turned out well. CWSuccessRescuePOWSons You're alive! It was a gamble - but as Talos keeps us, we keep each other - I wasn't going to just let them rot in there. CWSuccessSabotageResourceImperial Excellent! We've hit 'em where it hurts. Repairs will be needed when we take over, but at least the Stormcloaks won't benefit in the meantime. CWSuccessSabotageResourceSons We hit 'em where it hurts. As soon as we can, we'll take over - make the needed repairs. In the meantime, the people no longer slave for the Empire. CWTrespassNoTrespass1AImperial Imperial business. Be on your way. CWTrespassNoTrespass1ASons This doesn't concern you, friend. CWTrespassNoTrespass1BImperial This is none of your concern, citizen. CWTrespassNoTrespass1BSons Keep walking. CWTrespassNoTrespass1CImperial Move along. CWTrespassNoTrespass1CSons Move along. CWTrespassNoTrespass2AImperial Citizen. I'm warning you. Your presence is interfering with Imperial business. Be gone! CWTrespassNoTrespass2ASons Go on, get out of here! CWTrespassNoTrespass2BImperial Step aside, citizen. CWTrespassNoTrespass2BSons Are you looking for a fight? CWTrespassNoTrespass2CImperial Be gone! CWTrespassNoTrespass2CSons Don't make me tell you again. Get out of here. CWTrespassNoTrespass3AImperial Citizen. You have been warned. You leave me no choice but to resort to violence. CWTrespassNoTrespass3ASons I warned you. You leave me no choice but violence. CWTrespassNoTrespass3BImperial You leave me no choice, citizen. CWTrespassNoTrespass3BSons Fine. Have it you way. A fight it is. CWTrespassNoTrespass3CImperial You have been warned. CWTrespassNoTrespass3CSons Alright, if it's a fight you want. You've got it. CWTulliusEastmarchHave I almost can't believe it's over. The rebellion is squashed, Windhelm is free. I must admit, Ulfric put up a stronger fight than I was expecting. CWTulliusEastmarchWant We will oust Ulfric from Windhelm soon enough. And when we do, I'll have his head on a plate. CWTulliusFalkreathHave By holding onto Falkreath, we control access to the Reach, Whiterun, and the Rift. Ulfric will try for it soon. We'll be there to stop him. CWTulliusFalkreathWant I fear losing Falkreath may give too much advantage to Ulfric. The rebels now control access to the Reach, Whiterun, and the Rift. I want it back. CWTulliusFalkreathWonBack By taking back Falkreath, we control access to the Reach, Whiterun, and the Rift. We should never have given it up. CWTulliusHjaalmarchHave Hjaalmarch is an important buffer zone between the rebel forces and the capital. Ulfric will try to break through at some point. CWTulliusHjaalmarchWant I'm losing my patience with this damn war. We must take Hjaalmarch back! The Stormcloaks will be beating upon the doors of the capital soon. CWTulliusHjaalmarchWonBack Reclaiming Hjaalmarch lets me worry less about the rear guard, and push more men to the front. It was a mistake to let Ulfric control it for so long. CWTulliusPaleHave Taking the Pale gives us another port in Dawnstar, and puts us within striking distance of Windhelm. That should make Ulfric a bit more cautious, eh? CWTulliusPaleWant Controlling the Pale gives Ulfric a port town and takes the pressure off of Windhelm. But it's only a matter of time before it's back in our hands. CWTulliusReachHave It's good we hold the Reach. Were the rebels to gain control, the silver mines would give them coin to hire more thugs and expand their violence. CWTulliusReachWant We need to stem the flow of silver to the rebellion. Until we retake the Reach, the Stormcloaks will plunder it's mines to fund further violence. CWTulliusReachWonBack It was important we reclaimed the Reach. Letting Ulfric control the flow of silver was a mistake. One I'm glad we've finally corrected. CWTulliusRiftHave Taking control of the Rift was a great victory. Ulfric must be rather nervous with us so close to his door step. CWTulliusRiftWant We need the Rift. We need to regain control of it before we can march on Windhelm without worry about our rear guard. CWTulliusWhiterunHave Ulfric will want to take Whiterun from us. But we will hold fast. We can't give the rebellion free reign through the center of Skyrim. CWTulliusWhiterunWant I can't believe we lost Whiterun. The rebels have a great advantage in controlling the center now. We must take it back! CWTulliusWinterholdHave Now that we have Winterhold, I can garrison some troops there until I'm ready to march on Windhelm. CWTulliusWinterholdWant There's not much up there, but if we can regain Winterhold, our proximity to Windhelm should keep Ulfric wary and wasting troops garrisoned at home. CWUlfricFalkreathHave I'm proud we liberated Falkreath from the Empire. In many ways it's the heart and soul of Skyrim. Not to mention its rather strategic position. CWUlfricFalkreathWant The Empire thinks it holds Falkreath from us. But the souls of Skyrim's bravest are buried there and will fill our hearts and strengthen our blades. CWUlfricHaafingarHave I almost can't believe it. The Empire has been defeated. The world bears witness to the power and righteousness of the sons and daughters of Skyrim. CWUlfricHaafingarWant Soon enough we will march on Solitude. And on that day the heroes of Sovngarde will march with us, and the Empire will fall to its knees in fear. CWUlfricHjaalmarchHave Tullius must be getting nervous. Taking Hjaalmarch we're practically in his backyard now. As soon as we're able, we'll march on Solitude. CWUlfricHjaalmarchWant We should take Hjaalmarch. It'll be an important pressure point on the Imperials. We'd be within spitting distance of the capital. CWUlfricPaleHave Tullius has camps in the Pale, entertaining thoughts of battle. The Empire still underestimates the force of our cause. It will be their undoing. CWUlfricPaleWant I can't believe we let them take the Pale. Losing the port of Dawnstar is lessened only by the threat of Imperial forces being so close to Windhelm. CWUlfricPaleWonBack I'm glad we've finally restored the Pale. It was extremely foolish giving the Empire control of another port. CWUlfricReachHave Now that the Empire has been driven from the Reach we can put a stop to the raping of her silver mines. That silver belongs in Skyrim. CWUlfricReachWant The Empire's ravenous hunger for Skyrim's silver makes them fierce. But rest assured, we'll win the Reach and wrest it from their greedy paws. CWUlfricRiftHave Damn Tullius. He's pocketed men in the Rift. It's dangerous having Imperials skulking about on the southern border of Eastmarch. CWUlfricRiftWant Losing the Rift gives Tullius easy access to the south of Eastmarch. Talos preserve us. We must take it back! CWUlfricRiftWonBack I'm glad we liberated the Rift. It was dangerous having Imperials skulking about on the southern border of Eastmarch. CWUlfricWhiterunHave We've driven the Imperials out of Whiterun. This is good. Very good. We now control the center. It's a powerful position. One I aim to keep. CWUlfricWhiterunWant The Imperials have really dug into Whiterun. We'll wrest it from them soon enough. We must. Its central position is key. CWUlfricWinterholdHave I'm not sure why Tullius is wasting his time trying to take Winterhold from us. But if he wants to throw his men away, I'll gladly accept that gift. CWUlfricWinterholdWant I don't like Imperial troops holed up in Winterhold... such a close march to Windhelm. So I'm sending a campaign up there to take it back. CWUlfricWinterholdWonBack I'm glad we've taken back Winterhold. While the Imperials were up there, important resources were tied up stiffening our northern border. CWVictoryTopic By defeating Ulfric at Whiterun we have solidified the allegiance of the Jarl. CWVictoryTopic Perhaps the Stormcloaks will soon lose heart for this little rebellion of theirs once and for all. CWVictoryTopic We've driven the Imperials out of Whiterun. This is good. Very good. We now control the center. It's a powerful position. One I aim to keep. CWWhatAreDuties You'll be doing whatever Rikke tells you to do. And, I expect you to find creative ways to disrupt the Stormcloaks along the way. CWWhatAreDuties You'll be doing whatever Galmar tells you to do, and causing as much mayhem as possible for the Empire and any Jarl who supports them. CWWhatsEmpireDoingTopic The Legion's always been here. Without us to keep order, the provinces would fall into barbarism and lawlessness. Especially Skyrim. CWWhatsEmpireDoingTopic Take for example, Ulfric Stormcloak and his little "rebellion." But rest assured, his days are numbered. CWWhatsEmpireDoingTopic Of course. CWWhatsEmpireDoingTopic Sure. CWWhatsEmpireDoingTopic Properly controlled, it has knowledge enough to turn paupers into kings. CWWhatsEmpireDoingTopic Besides, you're not scared of a few sleeping metal men. Are you, Drennen? CWWhatsEmpireDoingTopic Not to mention our pay. CWWhatsNext You'd be wasted as a regular soldier. I have special plans for you. You'll be of greater use to me with greater flexibility. CWWhatsNext Make your way to our hidden military camp in the Pale. Rikke will have important tasks for you, and will need you when we reclaim the capital. CWWhatsNext Make your way to our camp in the Rift. We have a few surprises for the Stormcloaks lined up. CWWhatsNext You're needed in Winterhold. Report to our hidden camp there. CWWhatsNext Get over to our camp in Hjaalmarch. We need to strengthen our defensive position. CWWhatsNext I trust you've come to see the error handing the hold over to the rebels? CWWhatsNext Make your way to our camp in Falkreath. We're going to take it back. CWWhatsNext And don't think I've forgotten that you were the one that gave it to Ulfric in the first place. CWWhatsNext Hurry over to our military camp tucked away in the Reach. Ulfric's been enjoying those silver mines for far too long. CWWhatsNext And, soldier. You better help win me back Markarth, or die trying. It was your brilliant strategy to give it over to the rebels in the first place. CWWhatsNext You've little time to glory in your accomplishments. CWWhatsNext We're gathering for our final assault on Windhelm. Report to our camp in Eastmarch. CWWhatsNext I suspect you'll be of greater use to us with greater freedom, so you're free to engage the Imperials as you see fit. CWWhatsNext But I also want you to find our hidden camp in Falkreath. Galmar will have special tasks for you, and will need you when we liberate the capital. CWWhatsNext Get over to our camp in the Reach. They need every able body they can muster. CWWhatsNext You're needed in Hjaalmarch. There's much to be done. CWWhatsNext Get over to our camp in the Pale. It's time we bring them back into the fold. CWWhatsNext And don't think for a moment I've forgotten it was you that lost us the hold in the first place. CWWhatsNext Get up to Winterhold. We're going to take it back. CWWhatsNext I know you thought we weren't losing much when you gave it to the enemy. But I'm wasting troops guarding the border that belong on the front lines. CWWhatsNext Make your way to our hidden camp in the Rift. I can't continue to push forward when I'm worried about Eastmarch's southern border. CWWhatsNext I hold you responsible for this situation. So, you better win me back Riften, or die trying. CWWhatsNext We're ready to march on Solitude, but the Emperor's cousin is getting married! CWWhatsNext If royal blood was spilt, all of Cyrodiil would be up in arms. We can't afford an all out war with the Empire. So we'll bide our time for now. CWWhatsNext We're ready to march on Solitude, but the Emperor's visiting! The goddamned Emperor! CWWhatsNext And, as much as I'd like to kill the man myself, we can't risk an all out war with the Empire. We'll bide our time for now... CWWhatsNext You've no time to glory in your accomplishments. CWWhatsNext We're gathering for our final assault on Solitude. I need you there. Report to our camp in Haafingar. CWWhatsNext I don't want to die. I can't die here! CWWhatsNext You will kill. You will kill, or you will die! CWWhatsNext Get out of my head, Daedra! CWWhatsNext No. Kill him. Crush his bones. Tear at his flesh. CWWhatsNext You first. Come on. Let's go. CWWhatsNext Weak. He's weak. You're strong. Crush him. CWWhatsNext Stendarr's Mercy! This isn't an ordinary Daedra. We have to get help. CWWhatsNext There's another door. See if you can get it open. CWWhatsNext Come out! We know you're here! CWWhatsNext That's it. Something's inside the house. Come on, we're getting to the bottom of this. CWWhatsNext Wait. Did you hear that? I think it came this way. CWWhatsNext Fresh food. No wood rot on the furniture. Someone's been here. Recently. CWWhatsNext But the people I asked say no one enters or leaves.... CWWhatWillItTakeTopic Ulfric Stromcloak's head rolling away from his lifeless body. CWWhatWillItTakeTopic I hope Ulfric will come to his senses. But I fear he's in too far to stop now. CWWhatWillItTakeTopic Likely only Ulfric's death, or the overthrow of the Jarls supporting him will end this. Either way, much blood will be spilt. CWWhatWillItTakeTopic First we'll kick the Thalmor and their bloody Imperial puppets out of the country. Then we'll rebuild Skyrim into the land she once was. CWWhatWillItTakeTopic When we are done with that, we will take our army to the Dominion, and show those pointy-eared bastards not every man is fit to be their slave. CWWhatWillItTakeTopic We're fighting because we're done bleeding for an Empire that won't bleed for us. CWWhatWillItTakeTopic Untold numbers of Nords died defending the Empire against the Dominion. And for what? CWWhatWillItTakeTopic Skyrim being sold to the Thalmor so the Emperor could keep his throne! CWWhatWillItTakeTopic We're fighting because our own Jarls, once strong, wise men, have become fearful and blind to their people's suffering. CWWhatWillItTakeTopic We're fighting because Skyrim needs heroes, and there's no one else but us. CWYesSir For the Empire! CWYesSir For the Emperor! CWYesSir Gods be with you. CWYesSir Talos guide you. CWYesSir Go with the gods. CWYesSir For Skyrim! DA01AraneaAloneTopic Yes. There were others at first, but Azura's visions tested everyone's faith. One by one, they left. Afraid to know their own future. DA01AraneaAloneTopic But I refuse to abandon the shrine. The visions are a gift. Azura warns me of tragedy, war, death before it happens. I won't leave her guidance. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Azura's Star! I knew the Lady of Twilight had sent you for a reason. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Hand it over to me. I will ask Azura to restore the Star to its original purity. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Are you ready for me to show Azura her Star and receive her wisdom? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Our order will not forget your deeds. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic You have done the world a great service. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Now what's going on?! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Psijics? Here now? What in Talos' name... DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I knew you could do it! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic We must hurry if we're going to defeat Ancano. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Gods, you'd better have something good up your sleeve. I've got nothing left. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic We never should have brought that thing here... DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I'll be amazed if any of us survive this. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic If only we'd stayed out of Saarthal. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I can't believe any of this is happening! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic J'zargo is going to stay right here until this is all over. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic If only Savos were alive to see this... DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic To Oblivion with the rest of them - save yourself! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Why doesn't someone do something? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I'm not ready to die. I'm just not... DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic So much energy... So much power. Never in my life have I seen something like this... DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic We've got to find a way to put a stop to this. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I hope whatever you're going to do will work. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic You'll defeat Ancano, won't you? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic What are we going to do? How do we save the College? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I hope you know what you're doing. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I can't lose all my research. There has to be a way to save the College. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic You really think the Staff of Magnus is the key? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic How long can we keep this up? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic J'zargo knows that you will save the College. You must. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic J'zargo is sure this is the end. And this was supposed to be a safe place... DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic If we can't stop this, what happens to the rest of Skyrim? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I've never seen anything like this, in all my years. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Can you imagine the kind of power behind this? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic We never should have pulled that thing out of Saarthal. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Do you think Ancano knew all along what the Eye was capable of? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic This is going to be terrible for business... DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic You're still alive! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Get to the College, before it's too late! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic What are you doing here? You need to get that Staff, or else we don't stand a chance! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic By the gods... what was that? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic We need to find out what Ancano's up to. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I don't know what he's doing, but he won't get away with it. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I trust that you'll inform me as soon as the Staff is recovered. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I hope Mirabelle is helpful in locating the Staff. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic So you're off to find some staff now? I don't see the point of that. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic J'zargo has heard of the Staff of Magnus. Once you are done with it, perhaps you will allow J'zargo to... Borrow it? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Have you managed to track down the Synod, or the Staff of Magnus? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Please, tell me you've found the crystal. I've no wish to die in this place. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Unless you can find that crystal, there's no point in wasting more time with talk. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic It's very important you do this correctly. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Have you managed to track down the Synod, or the Staff of Magnus? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic You got what you came for, didn't you? Go then, back to your college. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I hope you have good news for Mirabelle. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Please, make sure Winterhold is safe! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Well? Is everything out there all right? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Find Savos, and get him back here if you can! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic What's happening? What did you people do? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic You brought this on us! You! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Please, whatever you did, just make it stop! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic What's going on out there? What happened? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Did you make something bad happen? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I'm not seeing things again, am I? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Whatever it is you're up to at the College, you need to fix this at once! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic What have we gotten ourselves into now? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Well, this certainly won't help our image. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic This is not J'zargo's fault! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic By Azura, what's happening? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Shor's blood, what have they done? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic What's going on?! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic This can't be happening! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic The Arch-Mage is dead! Dead! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Protect yourself! We're under some kind of attack! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic We've got to stay focused. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic We never should have brought that thing here! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I hope this isn't something I did. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic If this is somehow your fault... DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Welcome to the Midden. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Is it true? One of the Psijics was here in the College? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic No one's heard from the Psijic Order in so many years. Hard to believe one would just suddenly show up here. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic J'zargo regrets that there was no chance to speak with the Psijic Monk. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic You must excuse me. I shouldn't be here. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic It is good to meet you in person. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic How could you just leave me here? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Well, everything worked out nicely, didn't it? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I've got to get out of here. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Why did I ever come here? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Please! Help me! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Don't leave me here! DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Urag can be very helpful. Just don't antagonize him. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Well, you're certainly making a name for yourself. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I understand you're the one that found this... Orb in Saarthal. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic You have what you came for. Now leave. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Take your books and go, before I change my mind. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic Do we have a deal? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic This thing from Saarthal. What does it do? J'zargo cannot say. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic I hear you found some... thing in Saarthal. You think it could help make me a powerful mage? DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic We shouldn't have been disturbing Saarthal, no matter what you found down there. DA01AraneaHaveStarBranchTopic At least something good came out of that trip to Saarthal. I didn't find anything but dust. DA01AraneaHaveStarTopic01 I will commune with Azura. DA01AraneaHaveStarTopic02 I understand. Speaking to a goddess is overwhelming for many. Return when you're prepared. DA01AraneaIntroEntryTopic Azura has seen your coming, traveler. It was not curiosity, but fate, that has led you here. DA01AraneaIntroTopic01 Azura has given me the gift of foresight. I had a vision of you walking up the steps to this altar long before you were born. DA01AraneaIntroTopic01 You have been chosen to be her champion. I know it is unexpected, but do not worry. It will all unfold as she has predicted. DA01AraneaIntroTopic01 Calcelmo's orders- no one gets through to the tower. Kill any intruders on sight. Call for backup if you need to. DA01AraneaIntroTopic01 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! DA01AraneaIntroTopic01B You must go to a fortress, endangered by water, yet untouched by it. DA01AraneaIntroTopic01B Inside, you will find an elven mage who can turn the brightest star as black as night. DA01AraneaIntroTopic01B It is cryptic, I know, but Azura's signs are never wrong. I believe the fortress may refer to Winterhold. Ask if they know this elven enchanter. DA01AraneaIntroTopic02 This shrine was built by the Dunmer. As our land was scorched by fire and brimstone, Azura's prophecies led us to safety. DA01AraneaIntroTopic02 She is a Daedra, a powerful being who watches from beyond our mortal plane. She has chosen you to be her champion. DA01AraneaIntroTopic02B There is no one else, but very well. I cannot force you to accept your destiny. DA01AraneaIntroTopic02B I suggest we meet there in a few hours, and see what awaits us inside. That's all for now, thank you. DA01AraneaIntroTopic02B The College has undertaken a fascinating excavation in the ruins of Saarthal nearby. It's an excellent learning opportunity. DA01AraneaIntroTopic02B I think perhaps we're ready to begin exploring some of the various applications of magic throughout history. DA01AraneaIntroTopic02B Well, I think this is an excellent start. I'd like you all to continue practicing with wards, please. DA01AraneaIntroTopic03 Perhaps that is what you are meant to believe. To better serve your role as Azura's champion. DA01AraneaIntroTopic03 Do not fight it. Azura's prophecies always come to pass. To deny them is to go headlong into the darkness with no light to guide you. DA01AraneaQuestionsAzuraTopic She is the Goddess of Dawn and Dusk. Azura sees into the Twilight of the future, and guides her followers through it. DA01AraneaQuestionsAzuraTopic You're my... friend.... DA01AraneaQuestionsAzuraTopic Priest of Arkay. I'm your friend. DA01AraneaQuestionsAzuraTopic Who... who are you? What's going on? DA01AraneaQuestionsNelacarBranchTopic Good. All will be revealed in time. Keep playing your part, and Azura will reward you. DA01AraneaShrineTopic My people, the Dunmer, built it. We fled from Morrowind after Vvardenfell erupted almost 200 years ago. DA01AraneaShrineTopic Those of us who were faithful to Azura were given a vision that led us away from the island before the worst came. DA01AraneaShrineTopic This shrine is our thanks to her. That none will forget that she watches over us all. DA01AraneaShrineTopic We are children of the Twilight. Beings who are to be guided from the darkness into the light. And from the light into darkness. DA01AraneaShrineTopic Azura. Who led her children away from the disaster of Vvardenfell. You are the prophet that reveals our true future. DA01AraneaShrineTopic No harm shall come to me, for I live under Azura's wisdom. Her foresight protects me. Her insight sustains me. DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic Please place your hands on the altar. Azura wishes to speak with you. DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic I guess you get used to it. DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic There he goes. Looks like he's gone for good this time. DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic Wait! DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic Draugr creeping down the mountain to climb through my window at night, that kind of thing. I admit, I still don't much like the look of it. DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic Looks like he's gone for good this time. But I don't think we should stick around to see if he comes back. DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic Wait! DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic Thank you, good patrons of the Bannered Mare! Thank you! DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no moooooree... when his ugly red head rolled around on the floor! DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic And so then came the clashing and slashing of steel, as the brave lass Matilda charged in full of zeal! DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic "Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead! Now I think it's high time that you lie down and bleed!" DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red, when he met the shieldmaiden Matilda who said... DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade, as he told of bold battles and gold he had made! DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic There once was a hero named Ragnar the Red, who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead! DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic Nnnnooowwwwwww.... DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic One more song, what say you? Yeah? All right, then! DA01AraneaTravellingtoShrineBranchTopic Thank you, thank you. No, please, hold your applause. DA01AzuraBlockingBranch02Topic Are you ready to enter the Star and purge the soul of Malyn Varen? DA01AzuraBlockingBranchTopic Greetings, mortal. You have followed my guidance through the veils of Twilight and rescued my Star from Malyn Varen. DA01AzuraBlockingBranchTopic But his soul still resides within, protected by his enchantments. Until he is purged, my artifact is useless to you. DA01AzuraBlockingBranchTopic Now, take a deep breath. DA01AzuraBlockingBranchTopic First, I'll need to grab hold of your soul. DA01AzuraEnterStarTopic04 Have faith, mortal. I will be watching over you. DA01AzuraFinalBlockingBranchTopic My Star has been restored and Malyn's soul has been consigned to Oblivion. You have done well, mortal. DA01AzuraFinalBlockingBranchTopic As was destined, you are free to use my Star as you see fit. DA01AzuraFinalTopic01 Farewell, mortal. Know that Azura will be guarding over the threads of your fate in the Twilight. DA01AzuraFinalTopic02 Oblivion has been watching you since the day you were conceived, mortal. Do not think that your life has been served by your will alone. DA01AzuraFinalTopic02 Go now. I have seen the threads of your fate in the Twilight, and you still have much to accomplish. DA01AzuraShared01 Eventually, the Star will fade back into my realm in Oblivion, but I doubt you have the hundred or so years it would take to wait. DA01AzuraShared01 No, only one option remains. I will send you inside the Star. You will banish Malyn's soul there. DA01AzuraShared01 Tell me when you are ready, mortal. DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic The mages are up in the College. You can ask them, if they'll let you in. DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic Then again, Nelacar might know. He's an old-timer from the College, but he has a room here. DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic Did you say an "elf" and "stars"? I hope you don't know what you're asking. DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic "An elf that studies stars"? Where did you hear about that? DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic Studies stars you say? Why, there hasn't been a mage doing anything related to stars since.... Oh.... DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic Why specifically stars? Wait, you aren't referring to... No, there's no way you would know about that. DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic I know plenty of spells that produce light, but stars? Hmm. There was that problem a few years ago, but that couldn't be related. DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic Stars? You wouldn't be referring to that incident a few years ago? I still say that exile was far too harsh. DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic Why would anyone bother to study stars? Well, unless you're talking about that artifact that got all those... dimwits thrown out. DA01CollegeQuestionsBranchTopic Studies stars? I remember the last time the word "stars" was flown through the Hall of the Elements. Bad things had happened. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 There was an... unfortunate incident a few years ago. An elven mage named Nelacar was exiled from the College over it. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 He's still in town, getting by plying spells to the people inside the Frozen Hearth. Disgraceful. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 Officially, nothing. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 Why don't you head into town and get a drink at the Frozen Hearth? I hear old Nelacar still has a room there. He knows a lot of stories, that one. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 Well, it's a... minor stain on the College's reputation. One of many, unfortunately. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 You should head to the Frozen Hearth and speak with Nelacar. It's his story to tell, and I wouldn't want to discredit him by talking behind his back. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 It was a few years ago. A few of the mages got overconfident and were exiled. They had no talent, anyway. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 I hear one of them, Nelacar, still hangs around the Frozen Hearth. Guess he has no where else to go, poor thing. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 There was some bother about a group of mages being exiled. I can't remember what the details were. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 I think one of them came back. Nelacar. Stays at the Frozen Hearth, but I don't know why. He's not welcome in the College. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 You shouldn't ask me. There's an Altmer named Nelacar in the Frozen Hearth. He's the one to talk to. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 Oh, no, I'm not falling for that one again. Next thing I know, I'm getting yelled at for saying something inappropriate. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 If you're so curious, talk to Nelacar, in the Frozen Hearth. He can tell you the whole sad story. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 The kind of things that even the College won't tolerate. Things that can get a wizard exiled for life. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic01 There's an Altmer who's staying at the Frozen Hearth. Nelacar. You should speak with him, if you're so curious. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 Well, I've certainly heard worse things. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 I think the man you want to talk to is Nelacar. He was exiled a few years ago, bad research. Still hangs around the Frozen Hearth. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 You were given a vision? Are you serious? DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 Whatever. The person you probably want is Nelacar. He's in the Frozen Hearth. Be careful, he was exiled from the College for a reason. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 No. I wouldn't. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 Why don't you head into town and get a drink at the Frozen Hearth? I hear old Nelacar still has a room there. He knows a lot of stories, that one. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 Vision? What vision are you talking about? Oh, no matter. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 You should head to the Frozen Hearth and speak with Nelacar. It's his story to tell, and I wouldn't want to discredit him by talking behind his back. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 You should go into town and talk to an elf named Nelacar. He was involved in the whole mess. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 Yes, I did. I shouldn't be the one to tell you about this. There's an Altmer named Nelacar in the Frozen Hearth. Believe me, he'll know. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 Oh no, I'm not talking about that. I'm not being blamed for saying something out of place. Again. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 If you want to know, ask Nelacar. He's staying at the Frozen Hearth. Knows the whole sad story. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 Almost the opposite. The College got rid of something... someone, that was too much trouble. DA01CollegeQuestionsTopic02 There's an Altmer named Nelacar staying at the inn outside the College. You should ask him about it. DA01FINAraneaChoice01 Twilight watch over you, guardian. DA01FINAraneaChoice02 I was a sorceress of no small skill before I came into Azura's faith. Afterwards, her magic sustained me. DA01FINAraneaChoice02 I could easily provide my spells to your cause. Protect you from harm. Defeat your enemies. DA01FINAraneaShrineTopic No. She said my part was over. That my fate had moved beyond the Twilight, and I was on my own. DA01FINAraneaShrineTopic I will tend Azura's shrine when you do not need me. I still have my duties, but for the first time I feel... alone. DA01FINAraneaShrineTopic Until next time, guardian. DA01FINAraneaShrineTopic It's been an honor, guardian. DA01FINAraneaTopic While you were in the Star, Azura gave me a vision. Her last, she said. DA01FINAraneaTopic I have never been without Azura's foresight since escaping Morrowind. I don't know what to do. DA01FINAraneaTopic If you need me, I'd be honored to accompany you, Guardian of the Star. It would give me a purpose. DA01FINAraneaTopic Leave this shrine, blasphemer, before I kill you for defiling Azura's artifact. DA01FINAraneaTopic She wishes to speak to you herself. Please. Place your hands on the altar, and you will hear her voice. DA01FINAraneaTopic Azura. Mother of Roses. Goddess of Dusk and Dawn. Your chosen champion has returned your Star to you. DA01IntroRumorsTopic Have you seen that Shrine of Azura? They say the dark elves built it after they fled from Morrowind. Sight to see. DA01IntroRumorsTopic Playing tonight, Ogmund? Everyone here is anxious to hear the old ballads performed by the True Skald of the Reach. DA01IntroRumorsTopic Son, I know thousands of the old ballads. If I played all of them, everyone in this inn would be as grey as I am before I finished. DA01IntroRumorsTopic Uh, right. Maybe just one of the popular songs, like "The Slaying of the Falmer Princes"? DA01IntroRumorsTopic That's a sensible lad. Now fetch me drink. DA01IntroRumorsTopic Ah, Yngvar, here to sing? You know an employee of the Silver-Blood family is always a guest of honor here. DA01IntroRumorsTopic Shut it, Kleppr. Thongvor isn't here, so save your kissing up for a Nord who cares. DA01IntroRumorsTopic Always such a model for decency in these troubled times, Yngvar. DA01IntroRumorsTopic Another drink, Cosnach? A porter with Arnleif and Sons deserves nothing but the finest here. DA01IntroRumorsTopic All your drinks are watered down, Kleppr. You aren't fooling me, and you know Lisbet can't afford to pay me enough for the finest drinks anyhow. DA01IntroRumorsTopic I wasn't aware that Lisbet was having trouble, Cosnach. Is Arnleif and Sons not doing a good turn of business these days? DA01IntroRumorsTopic What are you, blind? That store is empty. Forsworn get almost every shipment that comes in. DA01IntroRumorsTopic That's just terrible. I'm so sorry to hear that. DA01IntroRumorsTopic No you aren't. DA01MalynShared01 And who are you to challenge me? I have conquered mortality itself. I've spat in the eyes of the Daedric Lords. DA01MalynShared01 This is my realm now. I've sacrificed too much to let you take it from me! DA01MalynVarenBlockingTopic Ah, my disciples have sent me a fresh soul. Good. I was getting... hungry. DA01MalynVarenBlockingTopic Wait. There's something different about you. DA01MalynWalkaway This is my realm. I won't let you take it from me! DA01NelacarBribe A few coins for my soul? If only you understood the irony. DA01NelacarBribe I don't think you understand. I'm not answering questions. DA01NelacarChoice01 They are. Except the gem is always consumed. They're frail. Except for one. DA01NelacarChoice02 That's what caused all the trouble. Soul gems are used in enchanting, but they break afterwards. Except one. DA01NelacarChoice03 Soul gems are the subject, friend. They're used in enchanting, then they break. Except one. DA01NelacarExclusiveTopic What do you know about soul gems? DA01NelacarFinalBlockingBranchTopic Easy there. The numbness will pass. Just don't strain yourself. DA01NelacarFinalBlockingBranchTopic We've done it. The Star has been cut off from Azura, and Malyn's soul finally has some measure of peace, even if it is in non-existence. DA01NelacarFinalTopic01 Now? You could use it for what we meant it for. Using black souls for enchanting. DA01NelacarFinalTopic01 The Black Star will never decay, but it can no longer hold the white souls of lesser creatures. DA01NelacarFinalTopic01 You keep it. I'd sooner finally put this chapter of my life behind me. Congratulations. You've changed the fate of a Daedric artifact and lived. DA01NelacarFinalTopic02 Go ahead. Take it. I'd sooner finally put this chapter of my life behind me. DA01NelacarFinalTopic02 Congratulations. You've altered the fate of a Daedric artifact and lived. DA01NelacarIntimidate Just calm down. I'll tell you everything. DA01NelacarIntimidate Do you think muscling me is going to work? I'm a wizard. An old. Elven. Wizard. Think about it. DA01NelacarNeverMind That's for the best. DA01NelacarPersuade Azura? Gods, it's all finally coming back to haunt me. DA01NelacarPersuade You're working with the Daedra? Right. Now tell me the one about the Argonian Maid and the lusty baron. DA01NelacarQuestionsBranchTopic Azura is no ordinary Daedra. She commands an entire realm inside of Oblivion. The more Malyn worked on the Star, the more she was able to damn him. DA01NelacarQuestionsBranchTopic It started slowly at first. Malyn would see things that weren't there. Then he would yell at students over words they hadn't said. DA01NelacarQuestionsBranchTopic Then one day I walked in and Malyn had... killed a student, and in a horrific moment of inspiration, he started using her soul for his work. DA01NelacarQuestionsMalynTopic The College would agree with you, but do you have any idea how many innocent lives were cut short, just so Azura could have revenge? DA01NelacarQuestionsMalynTopic We're nothing to the Daedra. Pawns to move around, praise, and punish as they see fit. DA01NelacarQuestionsStarBranchTopic I mentioned how the Star is a soul gem, only it never gets depleted? There's another rule the artifact follows. DA01NelacarQuestionsStarBranchTopic You can only store white souls in the Star, belonging to the lesser creatures. Azura's magic won't allow black souls to enter it. DA01NelacarQuestionsStarBranchTopic As a mortal, Malyn's soul was black, so part of his work was breaking past Azura's rules. He was close before... well, I already told you. DA01NelacarReadyBranchTopic Okay. Stand very still. This might sting. DA01NelacarShared02 Malyn wanted to alter the Star. He was dying. Disease. He thought he could store his own soul inside. Become immortal. DA01NelacarShared02 It drove him mad. Students started dying. Eventually, the College exiled him. He took a few loyal disciples to Ilinalta's Deep and vanished. DA01NelacarShared02 Look, I don't care who asked you to find the Star, but don't take it back to Azura. The Daedra are evil. They're the reason Malyn went insane. DA01NelacarStarBlockingBranchTopic The Star is being used to sustain Malyn's soul. I can't fix it while that fragment of him is inside. DA01NelacarStarBlockingBranchTopic Just give me a moment. DA01NelacarStarBlockingBranchTopic These fissures and cracks aren't encouraging. Malyn obviously was growing more desparate once he left the College. DA01NelacarStarBranchTopic Stendarr's Mercy. You found it. Azura's Star. DA01NelacarStarBranchTopic Maybe this is my chance to make things right. I can finish Malyn's work, the way we had meant to before his madness. DA01NelacarStarBranchTopic It would mean cutting the Star off from Azura. Only black souls would be able to enter it once we finished. DA01NelacarStarBranchTopic Are you ready to give me the Star? DA01NelacarStarChoice01 Give me a minute to examine the Star. I'll see what we'll need to do. DA01NelacarStarChoice02 All right, but hurry. Who knows if Azura is watching us? DA01NelacarStarInvisContinue Azura's Star. A Daedric artifact that allows any number of souls to pass through it. DA01NelacarStarInvisContinue Some of us wanted to find out how. I was working under Malyn Varen, then. If only we knew what he was really planning. DA01NelacarStarInvisibleContinue I understand if you need some time to prepare. Let me know when you're ready. DA01NelacarStarQuestionsInsideBranchTopic Malyn's soul should be in the Star. Theoretically, purging him will be just like killing a ghost anywhere else. DA01NelacarStarQuestionsInsideBranchTopic I'll have a magical tether to your soul while you're inside. Once you're done, it'll be as simple as pulling you back into your body. DA01NelacarStarQuestionsValasBranchTopic Malyn's soul is beyond hope because his body is dead. But I'll be keeping you just slightly alive on this end. DA01NelacarStarQuestionsValasBranchTopic But be careful. If you die inside the Star, your soul will be disrupted. There's nothing anyone can do for you if that happens. DA01NelacarStarTopic01 Precisely. But it's not as simple as enchanting Malyn away. He's put up barriers. Souls are only allowed in, not out. DA01NelacarStarTopic01 If we were to... somehow... send a soul inside the Star. One that was ready to overpower Malyn from the inside.... DA01NelacarStarTopic01 He did it. He actually managed to trap his own soul inside the Star, but it's falling apart. It needs more and more souls to sustain itself. DA01NelacarStarTopic02 I could soul trap you. Place you inside the Star. Then bring you back once Malyn has been dealt with. DA01NelacarStarTopic03 A special type of soul trap. Placing you inside the Star without fully killing you. Once Malyn has been dealt with, I'll bring you back. DA01NelacarStarTopic05 He's already dead. Worse, the enchantment keeping him intact requires black souls. I don't know how many people he must have killed. DA01NelacarStarTopic05 If we don't do something, the enchantment will eventually fade, and the Star will slip back into Oblivion. Azura will have the last laugh. DA01NelecarIntroBranchTopic Who sent you? Was it the College? The Jarl? We agreed there would be no more questions. DA02AnywhereNotFollowed I suppose you're free to frolic with the wenches in the servant's quarters, but anywhere else, you must have an escort. Jarl's orders. DA02BoethahSlayFollowersReasonsPrivate I abide only those whose will is aligned to my own. Those who oppose my desires perish in the most dreadful of ways. DA02BoethahSlayFollowersReasonsPrivate I have a purpose for which you might prove useful. But first I must test the deftness of your guile, and the strength of your purpose. DA02BoethahSlayFollowersReasonsPrivate Make a thrall. Lure him to my shrine. Prove your will is stronger. Convince him to embrace the Pillar of Sacrifice, and then slay him without mercy. DA02BoethahSlayFollowersReasonsPrivate Do this and I shall remember you and bestow an important task upon you. Do this not, and I shall forget you, and your soul will waste in obscurity. DA02BoethiahChampionExplain My previous champion displeases me. DA02BoethiahChampionExplain It is time he is replaced - in the traditional fashion. DA02BoethiahChampionGotIt Kill every single member of his band. Do so as silently and invisibly as you can, for this is not about you. You are to be my instrument in this. DA02BoethiahChampionGotIt Slay him in the coldest of blood. Do not give him the dignity of defending himself. DA02BoethiahChampionGotIt Once his corpse lays cold upon the ground, and all trace of his followers erased, retrieve my Ebony Mail. A gift fit only for my true champion. DA02BoethiahChampionWhat For a time he served his purpose, but that time has ended. He uses my gifts for his own amusement, and the only amusement I tolerate is my own. DA02BoethiahChampionWhere You will find him holed up at Knifepoint Ridge, where he plays king to bandits and highwaymen. DA02BoethiahChampionWho I am loath to utter his name... one cannot erase a thing if it has a name to be remembered. DA02BoethiahChampionYesA I have little need for mindless thralls. DA02BoethiahChampionYesA My servants serve their own purposes. But, if their will is insufficient, nor suitably aligned with mine, I simply destroy them. DA02BoethiahChampionYesA Which brings me to my present concern. DA02BoethiahChampionYesB An astute observation. DA02BoethiahChampionYesB Skyrim is a beautiful and harsh mistress, but her people cling to such a petty notion of honor. DA02BoethiahContinue Is that so? You should be. Though a heart without fear is something I can use... Perhaps you are the one I seek. DA02BoethiahContinue We shall soon find out. DA02BoethiahDeadFriendSlain My favor? DA02BoethiahDeadFriendSlain My good pleasure is not some trophy for mortal sport! DA02BoethiahDeadFriendSlain I should slay you for such insolence! DA02BoethiahDeadFriendSlain Shhh! Be still. Beware her anger! DA02BoethiahDeadFriendSlain She is here, among us. DA02BoethiahDeadFriendSlain (Gasps) DA02BoethiahDeadFriendSlain Our Lord! She has come! DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers Listen. All of you! DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers This one's locked. Let's see about that gate. DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers Looks like we're the only ones who made it. DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers That's it! Come on, let's get out of here before the dragon brings the whole tower down on our heads. DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers Here we are, found a key. Let's see if it opens that door. DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers Maybe one of these Imperials had the key. DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers Damn. No way to open this from our side. DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers I'm going to see if I can find some way out of here. DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers There you go. You may as well take Gunjar's gear. He won't be needing it any more. DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers We better get moving. Come here. Let me see if I can get those bindings off. DA02BoethiahMessageToFollowers We'll meet again in Sovngarde, brother. DA02BoethiahSentMe The Prince of Plots usually gets what she wants. I'm surprised I'm not dead already. She must have had some reason to keep me alive so long. DA02BoethiahSlayFriendReasonsPrivate Indeed. But I abide only those whose will is aligned to my own. Those who oppose my desires perish in the most dreadful of ways. DA02BoethiahSorry Were you certain in your purpose, you would have no need to apologize. DA02BoethiahSorry You have much to learn... But you have proven your will is strong and your heart is devoid of pity. DA02BoethiahSorry So, perhaps you are not entirely useless... We shall soon find out. DA02BoethiahYouAreAGod I am called Boethiah. Many names have mortals given me. But I am not interested in names. I am interested only in deeds. DA02BoethiahYouAreAGod A god? Assuredly not! When was the last time you saw evidence of Aedra in the world? DA02BoethiahYouAreAGod No, we Daedra are far more powerful than any god. And among my brethren, I am the most feared. DA02ChampionTalkAboutIt I told you. I'm done with all that. There's enough blood on these hands. I'm interested in creating things now. DA02ChampionTopic That was a long time ago. DA02ChampionTopic Now, if you're going to get those thieves, you should head to Bleak Falls Barrow, northeast of town. DA02CultistForcegoodbyeTopic Well done. You have proven the strength of your will and your tongue's gift for lies. You have shown ferocity and prowess in combat. DA02CultistForcegoodbyeTopic Now the time has come for a final proving. Are you able to cast aside your honor and strike with the hidden blade? DA02CultistForcegoodbyeTopic Ahhhhgh. Wearing flesh is so... distasteful. DA02CultistForcegoodbyeTopic You have caught my attention, mortal. That is most unwise. DA02CultistForcegoodbyeTopic We are Lord Boethiah's faithful. Have you come to test your mettle? DA02CultistForcegoodbyeTopic If you wish to gain Boethiah's attention, you must slay a thrall upon her shrine. DA02CultistForcegoodbyeTopic A well placed word, or a well placed dagger. Both can achieve equal purposes. DA02CultistForcegoodbyeTopic Do you wish to test yourself against me? DA02CultistForcegoodbyeTopic Though we live in shadow, we carve indelible signs of our passing into the world. DA02CultistNeverMind You are nothing. DA02CultistNo Then you are weak and inconsequential. DA02CultistYes That remains to be seen. But if it is so, and if Boethiah appears, then we will welcome you as one of us. DA02Favor I bet she would feel safer. And hopefully you wouldn't have to baby sit her for long. Once she calms down, she might start thinking straight again. DA02Favor Let's go talk with her. Stay close. Talk of assassins has the guards jumpy. They might attack you if you're not standing near me. DA02Favor Well, she needs to eat. I don't think she even knows where the kitchen is. And milady isn't exactly going to remove her own chamber pot, now is she? DA02Favor It hardly matters though. The door to the stairs is securely locked. There's no way anyone without the key can get in. So don't you worry about it. DA02FightChampion That remains to be seen. DA02FighterCorpseGreet You were weak. Now you are dead. What signs have you left of your passing for us to remember you by? DA02Flee Help! Assassin! DA02God A god? Assuredly not! Gods are weak and ineffectual. When was the last time you heard or saw evidence of the Aedra in the world? DA02God No, we Daedra are far more powerful than any god. And among my brethren, I am the most feared. DA02Goodbye May your will carve itself upon the world. DA02GuardForcegreetTopic I've been instructed to tell all visitors that the Lady Elisif isn't feeling well. She wishes you a good day, and please call again another time. DA02GuardForcegreetTopic Yes. Are you enjoying our little walk together? Or perhaps you'd like to come back when the Lady is taking visitors? DA02GuardForcegreetTopic Damn it, I lost him! Protect the Jarl! DA02GuardForcegreetTopic Damn it, I lost her! Protect the Jarl! DA02GuardForcegreetTopic Protect the Jarl! DA02GuardForcegreetTopic Stay where I can see you. DA02GuardForcegreetTopic You need an escort at all times. DA02GuardForcegreetTopic Come back here! DA02GuardGoodbye Stay close and in plain view. No funny business unless you want a few inches of steel in your belly. DA02Key I suppose so. But believe me. Only us servants have a key like that, and its a very expensive looking lock. Really, I wouldn't worry about it. DA02Key Here. Take a look for yourself. But give it back soon. It's almost time for milady's medicine. DA02Key Good riddance. Let's move on, the scroll must be in the next room. DA02NeverMind Hmph. DA02NotAfraid Good. Perhaps I've misjudged. DA02NotAfraidToDie A man who feels no fear has no heart. I know fear. But it does not control me. DA02NotAfraidToDie If you desire to fight me, then let's get this over with. DA02PostErikurCrimeForgiveTopic Hmm... Yes, I've heard about all that fuss. I myself know it's all a terrible, terrible misunderstanding. I'm quite sure you're innocent in all this. DA02PostErikurCrimeForgiveTopic This one time only, I'll grant you special immunity for any past transgressions, real or perceived. DA02PostErikurCrimeForgiveTopic But going forward, I'm sure you realize that your fate is in your own hands. And the law can not be bent for personal friendships. DA02PostErikurTopic Ahhh. Quite fine my friend. Quite fine. DA02PostErikurTopic So sad what happened to young Elisif. Tragic really. Such a young and pretty girl. DA02PostErikurTopic Was in over her head, I'm afraid. DA02PostErikurTopic But we should be done with murders in the Blue Palace. I've stepped up security around here. DA02PostErikurTopic I desired stealth and secrecy, but you executed the task with as much subtlety as a enrage mammoth. DA02PostErikurTopic But my purpose was ultimately gained. My previous champion was erased, and a new one born. DA02PostErikurTopic If you can learn to be subtle in rendering death, perhaps I will share more of my power with you. DA02PostErikurTopic You have done well, my Champion. You have earned my respect, a feat few manage and live to tell about. DA02PostErikurTopic I shall write your name upon the Tablet of Absolute Darkness. DA02PressingBusiness I'm afraid you'll have to come back later. I've been given strict instructions that no one be allowed to trouble Lady Elisif. DA02Ready If you desire a glimpse of our Dark Mistress, then this is what you must do. DA02Ready First, prove your tongue can wield a lie. Find someone. Gain his trust. Lead him to the shrine above. DA02Ready Next, instruct your thrall to touch the Pillar of Sacrifice. Its magic will ensnare him, rendering him helpless. DA02Ready Then, girded with certitude, plant the ceremonial blade deeply, so that the waters of his heart wash over you. DA02Ready If your will is strong enough, it will stir Boethiah in her Dark Mansion, and she will appear before us. DA02SomeoneElse If there's someone in the palace who can speak for you and wouldn't mind walking you around. Great. Lead me to him. DA02Steward Yes, the Steward is taking visitors. However, I must accompany you at all times while on the royal premises. DA02ThatsCrazy I know. The poor girl's fright has left her bereft of reason. But there's no talking her out of it. I fear she'll be locked in there for days. DA02ThatsCrazy Not so ridiculous, really. I know people don't think much of her. But she is the Jarl after all. Plenty of folk would kill to be in her shoes. DA02Weak Mind my words or I'll mind them for you: I'm slave to no man, no god, and no Daedra. DA02Weak Boethiah talks about leaving your mark, a sign of your passing.... Well, you can make a mark on the world without treachery and murder. DA02Weak Whenever a man's life is saved by armor made with these hands, these hands have changed that man's destiny and his family's. DA02Weak So you can tell that heartless Daedra bitch I'm done doing her dirty work. DA02WhatsWrongWithJarlTopic She's telling everyone she's sick. But she's really locked herself in her room because she fears an assassin is out to get her. DA02WhatsWrongWithJarlTopic She's locked herself in her room not letting anyone in. Well, except for us servants. She's afraid of assassins coming to get her. DA02WhatsWrongWithJarlTopic Even still, I make a point of announcing myself when I enter her room now. I spooked her so bad last time she almost threw the chamber pot at me! DA02WhatsWrongWithJarlTopic Private quarters are strictly off limits. You have been warned. DA02WhoMean We are forged by Boethiah's example. We carve our will upon the world through our tongues and our blades. DA02WhoMean You? You are nothing. An empty vapor, dispersed by the slightest breeze. DA02WhosBoethiah The Lord of Plots, Deceiver of Nations, Devourer of Trinimac. The Queen of Shadows, Goddess of Destruction, He-Who-Destroys and She-Who-Erases... DA02WhosBoethiah Many are our lord's lofty names, but they befit only us mortals. Intone her mighty names from now until the end of time - it is for naught. DA02WhosBoethiah Names mean nothing to our Lord. She only cares for those who care for themselves, whose hearts are full of purpose, whose lives are full of deeds. DA02WhySlayFollowers Tell me, why have you slain those who profess to follow in my ways? DA02WhySlayFriend Tell me, why have you slain this one, who trusted you, here upon my shrine? DA03BarabasAboutAxeTopic One of Clavicus's little jests. A wizard named Sebastian Lort had a daughter who worshiped Hircine. DA03BarabasAboutAxeTopic When the daughter became a werewolf it drove Sebastian over the edge. He couldn't stand to see his little girl take on such a bestial form. DA03BarabasAboutAxeTopic The wizard wished for the ability to end his daughter's curse. DA03BarabasAboutAxeTopic Clavicus gave him an axe. DA03BarbasConvinceGreetTopic Good. Let's get this over with. DA03BarbasConvincePlayerTopic The axe isn't the only item dear old Clavicus has. DA03BarbasConvincePlayerTopic Give him the Rueful Axe and once we're reunited the Masque of Clavicus Vile will be yours. DA03BarbasConvincePlayerTopic Look along the east coast. The boat will be there. DA03BarbasConvincePlayerTopic It would be best if we spoke little until you've completed your task. DA03BarbasConvincePlayerTopic You're making a mistake! DA03BarbasConvincePlayerTopic No! I'm losing the binding. DA03BarbasConvinceShared Wait a second, there's another option here. DA03BarbasConvinceShared I have a feeling I'm not going to like what happens when we get back to Clavicus. DA03BarbasConvinceShared All this just to kill me Clavicus? DA03BarbasConvinceShared You're worth putting in the extra effort for, pooch. DA03BarbasConvinceShared I remember that axe. DA03BarbasConvinceShared And I was so close to being rid of you. DA03BarbasFollowToggle Lead the way. DA03BarbasFollowToggle All right, then. We'll get together later. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic You are exactly what I was looking for. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic Probably got drunk and fell into the lake. Who cares. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic Have you seen Refnir? I told him to check out the well drain, but he never reported back. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic Sure. Then you wake up in the morning with your purse empty and your gear stolen. No thanks. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic Did you get a look at that thief that they sent to break into the place? What I wouldn't give for a night with her. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic Aringoth said as soon as the deed goes through, we're done here. Then we'll head south and look for more work. Deal? DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic Agh... so bored! Only one fight in the last few weeks? This is gonna' drive me crazy. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic No idea. Maybe he got tired of getting stung by these damn bees. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic So why did he sell this place? I mean look at it. This is how to live. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic You're telling me. Playing nursemaid to a bunch of bees and drinking mead all day beats dying on some battlefield. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic I can't believe how lucky we got landing this job. It's a far cry from working for the Stormcloaks. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic If they do, we'll send them crying back to their boss again. DA03BarbasForcegreetTopic Keep your eyes open, they'll try to hit us again... I just know it. DA03BarbasGreet Yes, I think you'll be just what I need. DA03BarbasGreetContinue You see, my name is Barbas. And I have a problem I think you can help sort out. DA03BarbasGreeting0 Skyrim is now host to giant, flying lizards and two-legged cat-men... and you're surprised by me? Yes. I just talked. And am continuing to do so. DA03BarbasGreeting1A I know, I know... Wars to fight, dragons to confront, guild business to conduct. DA03BarbasMoreInfo0 Well... I guess you could say I got on his nerves. I tend to be the voice of reason and he finds that... irksome. DA03BarbasMoreInfo0 He couldn't just kill me, you see. We're technically part of each other. But he was able to banish me from his domain. DA03BarbasMoreInfo0 Of course, because of our separation, Vile is now much weaker. I guess he figured it was a small price to pay for not having to listen to me anymore. DA03BarbasMoreInfo0 Don't worry. I'll make sure he sees the light. I trusted you, now you trust me. DA03BarbasMoreInfo0 Yeah, yeah, dog gets master, master gets cosmic axe, everyone's happy. Just get over here, mutt. DA03BarbasMoreInfo0 I knew I could trust you! DA03BarbasOffer0 My master and I had a bit of a falling out. We got into an argument and it got rather... heated. DA03BarbasOffer0 He's kicked me out until I find someone who can settle our disagreement. That's where you come in. DA03BarbasOffer0 That's done it! Let's get in there. DA03BarbasOffer0 Well? There must be a way through. Look around. DA03BarbasOffer0 This is it. We've found Gathrik's tomb. DA03BarbasOffer0 You can't shake us off that easily. Let's see what's here! DA03BarbasOffer0 This way. DA03BarbasOffer0 Come on, hurry up. DA03BarbasOffer0 Better to stick together down here. DA03BarbasOffer0 This looks like the way out! I was starting to wonder if we'd ever make it. DA03BarbasOffer1A Very funny. My master is Clavicus Vile, Daedric prince of wishes. As you can imagine, he's quite the important person. DA03BarbasToVile Thank you. Now, since he banished me, Vile's been rather weak. He can't manifest very far from one of his shrines. DA03BarbasToVile I know there's a cult that worships him at Haemar's Shame. We should be able to talk to him there. DA03BarbasToVile If this works out, I'll make sure you're rewarded. Just don't trust any offer he makes you... okay? DA03BarbasWalkaway Listen, when you're ready to do something useful, find me outside Haemar's Shame, in Falkreath. DA03Hello Woof. DA03Hello Woof. DA03Hello Well, well. Hello there, big man. DA03Hello Hello there, miss. DA03Hello Barbas, at your service. DA03Hello Ah, there you are. I've been waiting for you to arrive. DA03Hello Collect the Rueful Axe from Rimerock Burrow, and I believe we'll have a deal. DA03Hello Ah, you've got the axe! And my dog. Splendid. DA03Hello You have business with Clavicus Vile? DA03Hello It's nice to be rid of that detestable dog. Things are so much more fun without his incessant preaching. DA03StartGuardGreetBranchTopic Did you see a Dog out there? DA03StartGuardGreetBranchTopic Owning a farm does have its advantages. DA03StartGuardGreetBranchTopic I'm here to buy food, Nazeem. I suppose you don't need to worry about that. DA03StartGuardGreetBranchTopic Ah, Ysolda was it? What brings you to the market? DA03StartGuardGreetBranchTopic I didn't mean... I'm sorry I asked. DA03StartGuardGreetBranchTopic And why shouldn't I? Just because I'm a Gray-Mane doesn't mean I can't earn my own keep. DA03StartGuardGreetBranchTopic Are you still working at the Bannered Mare in the evenings, Olfina? DA03StartGuardGreetBranchTopic Plenty of people here that need Eorlund's craftsmanship, my dear. We've never had any reason to deal with those caravans of theirs. DA03StartGuardGreetBranchTopic Fralia, do you ever deal with the Khajiit at all? I'm sure they would love to trade in your husband's steel. DA03StartGuardResponseBranchGoodbye I guess I'll stay on the lookout. Keep your nose clean while you're here outsider. DA03StartGuardResponseBranchTopic Ah, well. The blacksmith is offering a reward for a dog he saw on the road. I was hoping you'd seen it. DA03StartGuardResponseBranchTopic2 No, this was a specific one. The blacksmith is offering a reward for a dog he saw on the road. I was hoping you'd seen it. DA03StartGuardResponseBranchTopic3 I don't know really. The blacksmith is offering a reward for a dog he saw on the road. I was hoping you'd seen it. DA03StartLodBranchAcceptTopic Good! There's some gold in it for you if you succeed. Here's the meat - check the road just outside of town. DA03StartLodBranchPersuadeTopic It's a smart man that demands something up front for his work. Some gold now and some when I have my dog. Here's the meat. DA03StartLodBranchTopic There's one out on the road. I can't afford to chase him down but I could use a fierce, loyal beast to keep me company. DA03StartLodBranchTopic2 I asked the gate guards to look for him. I can't afford to chase him down but could use a fierce, loyal beast to keep me company. DA03StartLodBranchTopic3 No, no, this one's alone on the road outside of town. I can't afford to chase him down but I could use a fierce, loyal beast to keep me company. DA03StartLodContinueTopic If you were willing to retrieve him for me I'd give you some fresh meat to attract him out on the road. DA03VileBarbasUnited1A Yeah, rub it in. Just imagine what I could get done with my full power and none of these pesky "morals." DA03VileBarbasUnited1A Still, I've got this axe, and even if I can't use it, I'm sure someone would make a deal for it. Maybe I'll have a word with Molag Bal... DA03VileBarbasUnited1A Maybe. For now just lay low and do your job. I have a feeling we'll be rid of the Captain soon... DA03VileBarbasUnited1A If only we could get our hands on that treasure. We could get out of here and never look back. DA03VileBarbasUnited1A The Captain has it locked away in that drowned ship by his quarters. He says it's "to keep it safe" but I know he's just keeping it for himself. DA03VileBarbasUnited1A Where did you keep all that loot? I've been here almost a year and haven't seen any of it. DA03VileBarbasUnited1A Well, before that cave-in sealed our ships in here we could loot any size ship we wanted. DA03VileBarbasUnited1A You've been here for a while, right? What was it like back when we could still make runs out to the coast? DA03VileGreet0 By all means, let's hear it. It's the least I could do, since you already helped me grant one final wish for my last worshippers... DA03VileGreet0 They were suffering so from vampirism, and begged me for a cure. Then you came and ended their misery! I couldn't have planned it better myself. DA03VileGreet0 So, what's your heart's desire? What kind of deal can we strike? DA03VileGreet1A Ugh. That insufferable pup? Forget it. Request denied. No deal. DA03VileGreet1A I'm glad to be rid of him. Even if it does mean I'm stuck in this pitiful shrine, in the back end of... nowhere. DA03VileGreet1A Well... perhaps there is a way he could earn his place back at my side. Maybe. But no promises. DA03VileGreet1B Oh, if I had my full power, granting that would be trivial. DA03VileGreet1B I'd simply snap my fingers, and everyone in Skyrim would die. War resolved. DA03VileGreet1C Really? Power? You're a dragonborn; you already have more power than most people who aren't immense, fire-breathing monsters. DA03VileGreet1C Really? Power? Haven't you already killed enough of your foes using the more mundane means at your disposal? Swords, magic, etc.? How... uninspired. DA03VileGreet2A As much as I hate to say it, you're almost as powerful as I am right now. But that's just because half of my power resides in that mutt, Barbas. DA03VileGreet2A Come to think of it, I know of a win-win situation for both of us. DA03VileOffer0 There's an axe. An incredibly powerful axe. An axe powerful enough for me to have quite a bit of fun, indeed. DA03VileOffer0 If you bring it to me, I'll grant you my boon. No strings attached. No messy surprises. At least, not for you. DA03VileOffer0 As I recall, it's resting in Rimerock Burrow. Barbas can lead you right to it. The little mutt might even earn his place back at my side. DA03VileOffer0 In Rimerock Burrow, there's an artifact called the Rueful Axe. Bring it to me, and I'll take Barbas back. Simple as that. DA03VileOffer1A And I could absorb the spirit of poor, dead Barbas. He'd still be reunited with me. DA03VileOffer1A And I'm sure Barbas doesn't want me to have that axe. He'd want it this way. DA03VileOffer1A The choice is yours, friend. We're all counting on you to make the right decision. Put him out of our misery! DA03VileOffer1B Hrmph. You're no fun at all. Guess I'll have to make my own fun elsewhere. DA03VileOffer1B And with the pup back, I'll be restored to my full power. There's a whole world just waiting for me! DA03VileReturn0 Excellent work. A hero and his faithful companion, retrieving the ancient artifact for the prince. It's almost... storybook. DA03VileReturn0 Ah, but it almost seems a shame to give a weapon like that away, doesn't it? I suppose I could be persuaded to let you keep it... DA03VileReturn0 But only if you use the axe to kill Barbas. Simple as that. DA03VileReturn0 And? DA03VileReturn0 Absolutely! Now I can reabsorb his body, and return to full power. All without having to listen to his whining. DA03VileReturn0 Oh, sure, he'll be back in a century or two, but think of the fun I can have 'til then. DA03VileReturn0 Enjoy that axe! And don't worry about poor old Barbas. After all, he really should have picked a better friend... DA04Goodbye Go forth. Do the biddings of Septimus, for he is working my will in your plane. DA04Goodbye Be warned. Many have thought as you do. I have broken them all. You shall not evade me forever. DA04Goodbye Indeed. Speak with me when the box has been opened, and all shall be revealed. DA04Goodbye Your continuing aid to Septimus renders him increasingly obsolete. He has served me well, but his time is nearing its end. DA04Goodbye Once that infernal lockbox is opened, he will have exhausted his usefulness to me. DA04Goodbye When that time comes, you shall take his place as my emissary. What say you? DA04Goodbye I am Hermaeus Mora. I am the guardian of the unseen, and knower of the unknown. I have been watching you, mortal. DA04Goodbye Most impressive. DA04Hello Dig, Dwemer, in the beyond. I'll know your lost unknown and rise to your depths. DA04Hello When the top level was built, no more could be placed. It was and is the maximal apex. DA04Hello How long will it be sung? My feet were set upon the rock but it turned to mud and drew me down. DA04Hello It lick the panes and smokes the glass... DA04HermaeusMoraFinishBranchTopic Come, my champion. DA04HermaeusMoraFinishBranchTopic What is this... it's... it's just a book?! I can see. The world beyond burns in my mind. It's marvelous.... DA04HermaeusMoraIntroBranchTopic Come closer. Bask in my presence. DA04HermaeusMoraQuestFinishTopic Now you have my Oghma Infinium. It contains the knowledge of the ages as revealed to Xarses, my loyal servant. DA04HermaeusMoraQuestFinishTopic For hundreds of years it's been shut away from the world. Septimus was a useful tool for unleashing it. DA04HermaeusMoraQuestFinishTopic Now it is in your hands. Let us work wonders together... DA04HMYoureNotMyDad Who do you think brought Septimus here? Who do you think protected you on your journey to open the box and loose my knowledge on this world? DA04HMYoureNotMyDad Your free will is an illusion. Whether you acknowledge me or not is your own business. But I will be in your mind. DA04LorekeeperAnyoneElseICouldTalkTo Of course. DA04LorekeeperAreYouDoneYet Ha! DA04LorekeeperByAuthority What about... wait. Are you? Were you the one the Greybeards were calling? DA04LorekeeperGoGetBooks I'll bring you everything we have on them, but it's not much. DA04LorekeeperGoGetBooks So don't get your hopes up. It's mostly lies, leavened with rumor and conjecture. DA04LorekeeperHelpTopic And what do you plan to do with it? Do you even know what you're asking about, or are you just someone's errand boy? DA04LorekeeperHelpTopic And what do you plan to do with it? Do you even know what you're asking about, or are you just someone's errand girl? DA04LorekeeperItsOnTheBoxAllINeedToKnow You think that even if I did have one here, I would let you see it? DA04LorekeeperItsOnTheBoxAllINeedToKnow It would be kept under the highest security. The greatest thief in the world wouldn't be able to lay a finger on it. DA04LorekeeperOKWhatIsIt I knew it. Everyone comes in here, expecting my help, but they don't even have the proper questions. DA04LorekeeperOKWhatIsIt An Elder Scroll is an instrument of immense knowledge and power. DA04LorekeeperOKWhatIsIt To read an Elder Scroll, a person must have the most rigorously trained mind, or else risk madness. DA04LorekeeperOKWhatIsIt Even so, the Divines usually take the reader's sight as a price. DA04LorekeeperShutUp I don't know who told you that, but I'll do what I can. What we do have are plenty of books. DA04LorekeeperThePriceIsWrong The simplest way to put it is "knowledge," but there's nothing simple about an Elder Scroll. DA04LorekeeperThePriceIsWrong It's a reflection of all possible futures and all possible pasts. DA04LorekeeperThePriceIsWrong Each reader sees different reflections through different lenses, and may come away with a very different reading. DA04LorekeeperThePriceIsWrong But at the same time, all of it is true. Even the falsehoods. Especially the falsehoods. DA04LorekeeperWhoWroteThem The Scrolls exist here, with us, but also beyond and beneath. Before and after. They are bits of Divine made substance so we could know them. DA04LorekeeperWhoWroteThem Sorry. Talking about the Scrolls, you usually end up in irritating and vague metaphors like that. Some people who study them devoutly go mad. DA04LorekeeperWhoWroteThem It would take a month to explain to you how that very question doesn't even make sense. DA04PointerToSeptimusBranchTopic Aye, that's the work of Septimus Signus. DA04PointerToSeptimusBranchTopic He's the world's master of the nature of Elder Scrolls, but... well. DA04PointerToSeptimusBranchTopic He's been gone for a long while. Too long. DA04SeptimusBlackreachInsanity Under deep. Below the dark. The hidden keep. Tower Mzark. DA04SeptimusBlackreachInsanity Alftand. The point of puncture, of first entry, of the tapping. DA04SeptimusBlackreachInsanity Delve to its limits, and Blackreach lies just beyond. DA04SeptimusBlackreachInsanity But not all can enter there. Only Septimus knows the hidden key to loose the lock to jump beneath the deathly rock. DA04SeptimusBringBloodBranchTopic I can almost... hear them. I feel their life energy. Come, I will make the mixture. DA04SeptimusCubeWhatTopic To glimpse the world inside an Elder Scroll can damage the eyes. Or the mind, as it has to Septimus. DA04SeptimusCubeWhatTopic The Dwemer found a loophole, as they always do. To focus the knowledge away and inside without harm. DA04SeptimusCubeWhatTopic Place the lexicon into their contraption and focus the knowings into it. When it brims with glow, bring it back and Septimus can read once more. DA04SeptimusFineWhat You see this masterwork of the Dwemer. Deep inside their greatest knowings. DA04SeptimusFineWhat Septimus is clever among men, but he is but an idiot child compared to the dullest of the Dwemer. DA04SeptimusFineWhat Lucky then they left behind their own way of reading the Elder Scrolls. DA04SeptimusFineWhat In the depths of Blackreach one yet lies. DA04SeptimusFineWhat Have you heard of Blackreach? "Cast upon where Dwemer cities slept, the yearning spire hidden learnings kept." DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Two things I have for you. Two shapes. One edged, one round. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements The round one, for tuning. Dwemer music is soft and subtle, and needed to open their cleverest gates. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements The edged lexicon, for inscribing. To us, a hunk of metal. To the Dwemer, a full library of knowings. But... empty. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Find Mzark and its sky-dome. The machinations there will read the Scroll and lay the lore upon the cube. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Trust Septimus. He knows you can know. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Now you just stay here, with all your friends, and I'm going to go get my shovel. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Let me just take this coin purse off your hands for you. And those nice boots you've got there. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Well, seems like you have a bit of gold left in your pockets, don't you, my friend? Mmm, yes... DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Watch out! DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Come on now, old girl. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Gee up, there! DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Look out! DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Never been to Whiterun before? The Jarl's palace is something to see. Dragonsreach they call it. Big old dragon skull hanging on the wall. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements First time to Solitude? Beautiful old city. Capital of Skyrim, but I'm sure you already knew that. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Ever been to Markarth? Some say it was built by the dwarves. I don't believe a word of it though. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements If you've never been to Riften, be sure to visit the Black-Briar meadery. A few mugs of that and you'll forget all about the long trip. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Ever been to Windhelm? Oldest city in Skyrim, by some accounts. They say the big old palace there was built by Ysgramor himself. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Solitude's famous for it's Bards College. Worth a visit if you've never been. Some of them can sing just as pretty as a lark. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Solitude's a big port town, you know? Full of sailors and their tales of far away lands. Most of 'em's foreigners and liars, of course. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements You'll want to watch out for the Forsworn if you do any travelling around the Reach. Bloodthirsty bastards, them. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements If you don't mind a piece of advice, I'd stay out of trouble in Markarth. They'll toss you in the Cidhna Mine, and you'll never get out. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements When I'm in Whiterun, I always visit the Gildergreen. Never hurts to pay your respects to Lady Kynareth, particularly in my line of work. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements You'll want to watch yourself in Riften. A lot of ways to get yourself in trouble in that town. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements I might have to stop and get myself a pint of Black-Briar mead while I'm in Riften. Almost worth the trip all by itself. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements You might run into some of them lizard-folk in Riften. Quite a few of them work the docks there, not sure why. Like swimming in the lake, maybe. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Windhelm's a bit cold for my tastes. And I ain't talking about the weather. You're not from Windhelm, are you? DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements You'll find Windhelm's full of dark elves. The kind from Morrowind, you know. Not that I have anything against them, long as they keep to themselves. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements There once was a hero named Ragnar the Red, who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead! DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements You ever met one of them cats? - kah-jeet, I think they call themselves. I hear there's whole countries full of them down south. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Gee up, there. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Steady, old girl. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Sun feels good, hmm? DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements It's almost getting downright hot out now. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Couldn't ask for better weather. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Nice weather for a ride. Hope it lasts. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements This'll clear up soon, I'm sure of it. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Why is it always raining? DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements This rain will stop eventually. Always does. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Hope you're not getting too wet back there. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Better bundle up. This may keep up for a while. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements A little snow never stopped me, don't worry. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements I bet you'll be glad to get to Whiterun and get out of this weather. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements You picked quite a day for a trip to Solitude. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements You picked quite a day for a trip to Markarth. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements I swear it rains like this every time I go to Riften. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements Better get used to it. Snows most all the time in Windhelm. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements If you were getting them from my farm, they'd be twice as fresh. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements I get them fresh from the farms daily, Nazeem. DA04SeptimusGiveAccoutrements These fruits and vegetables are disappointing, Carlotta. DA04SeptimusGotLexicon Give it, quickly. DA04SeptimusHelp Extraordinary. I see it now. DA04SeptimusHelp The sealing structure interlocks in the tiniest fractals. DA04SeptimusHelp Dwemer blood can loose the hooks, but none alive remain to bear it. DA04SeptimusHelp A panoply of their brethren could gather to form a facsimile. A trick. Something they didn't anticipate, no, not even them. DA04SeptimusHelp The blood of Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, Falmer, and Orsimer. The elves still living provide the key. DA04SeptimusHelp Bear you hence this extractor. It will drink the fresh blood of elves. Come when its set is complete. DA04SeptimusHelpMeOrNot One block lifts the other. Septimus will give what you want, but you must bring him something in return. DA04SeptimusHit Yaaaargh! DA04SeptimusHit Ffffeeeargh! DA04SeptimusHit Rlyehhhgh1 DA04SeptimusHowDoYouKnowTopic The box contains the heart. The essence of a god. DA04SeptimusHowDoYouKnowTopic I have devoted my life to the Elder Scrolls, but their knowledge is a passing awareness when compared to the encompassing mind of divinity. DA04SeptimusHowDoYouKnowTopic The Dwemer were the last to touch it. It was thought to have been destroyed by the Nerevarine, but my lord told me otherwise. DA04SeptimusIntroBranchTopic Elder Scrolls. Indeed. DA04SeptimusIntroBranchTopic The Empire. They absconded with them. Or so they think. The ones they saw. The ones they thought they saw. DA04SeptimusIntroBranchTopic I know of one. Forgotten.

DA04SeptimusWhereIsScroll On the cosmological scale, it's all nearby. DA04SeptimusWhereIsScroll Please, don't just let it stay like this. It's disgraceful.

The bane of Kagrenac and Dagoth Ur. DA04SeptimusWhyHereTopic To harness it is to know. The fundaments. The Dwemer lockbox hides it from me. DA04SeptimusWhyHereTopic The Elder Scroll gives insight deeper than the deep ones, though. To bring about the opening. DA04SeptimusWhyYouWantBranchTopic Ooooh, an observant one. How clever to ask of Septimus. DA04SeptimusWhyYouWantBranchTopic This Dwemer lockbox. Look upon it and wonder. DA04SeptimusWhyYouWantBranchTopic Inside is the heart. The heart of a god! The heart of you. And me. DA04SeptimusWhyYouWantBranchTopic But it was hidden away. Not by the Dwarves, you see. They were already gone. DA04SeptimusWhyYouWantBranchTopic Someone else. Unseen. Unknown. Found the heart, and with a flair for the ironical, used Dwarven trickery to lock it away. DA04SeptimusWhyYouWantBranchTopic The scroll will give the deep vision needed to open it. DA04SeptimusWhyYouWantBranchTopic For not even the strongest machinations of the Dwemer can hold off the all-sight given by an Elder Scroll. DA04SeptimusYouCrazy Oh, I am well. I will be well. Well to be within the will inside the walls. DA04SoElderScrollsHuhWhatsUpWithThemTopic You look to your left, you see one way. You look to your right, you see another. But neither is any harder than the opposite. DA04SoElderScrollsHuhWhatsUpWithThemTopic But the Elder Scrolls... they look left and right in the stream of time. The future and past are as one. DA04SoElderScrollsHuhWhatsUpWithThemTopic Sometimes they even look up. What do they see then? What if they dive in? Then the madness begins. DA04UragIsSeptimusDead Oh no. I hope not. But even I haven't seen him in years, and we were close. DA04UragIsSeptimusDead Became obsessed with the Dwemer. Took off north saying he had found some old artifact. Haven't seen him since.

DA04UragWhereHeBeAtYo Somewhere up north, in the ice fields. DA04UragWhereHeBeAtYo Said he found some old Dwemer artifact, but... well, that was years ago. DA04UragWhereHeBeAtYo Haven't heard from him since. DA05Goodbye I just don't understand what kind of a man does that. DA05Goodbye All right. Keep up the good work. DA05Goodbye Yes sir, of course. DA05Goodbye Let's make sure we're just as productive this month as we were last. If Bryling's happy, we're happy. DA05Goodbye Morthal is full of cowards! Let's go kill that monster. DA05Goodbye Cowards! We must kill the vampires. We have to make them pay! DA05Goodbye And it's full of vampires? DA05Goodbye Yeah. Kind of scary too. DA05Goodbye Um...this place looks dangerous. DA05Helllo Never thought I'd see you again. DA05Helllo We were told you may be coming. DA05Helllo Return when you have completed the Great Hunt. DA05Helllo Greetings, fellow hunter. DA05Helllo Lead on. DA05Helllo May Hircine guide our blades. DA05Helllo We follow you, hunt-master. DA05Helllo The Bloodmoon lights the way. DA05Helllo Show us the path to the prey. DA05Helllo Hircine chose you to lead the Great Hunt. So lead. DA05Helllo A sad time. DA05IDefiedYou So you may think. DA05IFailed Not a failure, my servant. DA05Insideout By bringing down my other Hunters, you turned the chase inside out. DA05Insideout And they were no base prey. DA05Insideout You continue to amuse and impress. Go forth, with my blessing. DA05MathiesFuneralBranchTopic Our daughter. Our little girl. She hadn't seen her tenth winter. DA05MathiesFuneralBranchTopic You take care of yourself, now. And if you ever find yourself in New Sheoth, do look me up. We can share a strawberry torte. Ta ta! DA05MathiesFuneralBranchTopic And as for you, my little mortal minion... Feel free to keep the Wabbajack. As a symbol of my... Oh, just take the damn thing. DA05MathiesFuneralBranchTopic Yes, yes, that's quite enough celebration. Let's send you ahead, shall we? DA05MathiesFuneralBranchTopic Master! You've taken me back! Does this mean we're going home? Oh, happy times! I can't wait to... DA05MathiesFuneralBranchTopic Luggage! Now where did I leave my luggage? DA05MathiesFuneralBranchTopic Let's make sure I'm not forgetting anything. Clothes? Check. Beard? Check! Luggage? DA05MathiesFuneralBranchTopic Well, I suppose it's back to the Shivering Isles. The trouble Haskill can get into while I'm gone simply boggles the mind... DA05MathiesFuneralBranchTopic Pelagius Septim the Third, once the Mad Emperor of Tamriel, now so boringly sane. I always knew he had it in him! DA05MathiesFuneralHowDieBranchTopic She was... he ripped her apart. Like a sabre cat tears a deer. We barely found enough of her to bury. DA05MathiesFuneralWhoDidThisBranchTopic Sinding. Came through as a laborer. Seemed like a decent man. DA05MathiesFuneralWhoDidThisBranchTopic He's stewing in the pit while we figure out what to do with him, if you've got the stomach to look at him. DA05MathiesFuneralWhoDidThisBranchTopic What could drive a man to do something like this? DA05QuestingBeastAgain And skillfully, too. I've been watching you for ages, it seems. You have the makings of a fine hunter. DA05QuestingBeastAgain You may even be my champion. Perhaps. DA05QuestingBeastAreYouIt I am the spirit of the hunt, just one glimpse of the glorious stalker that your kind calls Hircine. DA05QuestingBeastConclusionBranchTopic Well met again, Hunter. DA05QuestingBeastConclusionBranchTopic Come on, this way! DA05QuestingBeastConclusionBranchTopic Through here. Let's go! DA05QuestingBeastConclusionBranchTopic I can cut you loose inside. Come on! DA05QuestingBeastConclusionBranchTopic You! Come on, into the keep! DA05QuestingBeastConclusionBranchTopic Fine. I hope that dragon takes you all to Sovngarde. DA05QuestingBeastConclusionBranchTopic We're escaping, Hadvar. You're not stopping us this time. DA05QuestingBeastConclusionBranchTopic Ralof! You damned traitor. Out of my way! DA05QuestingBeastDoIt The one who stole it has fled to what he thinks is his sanctuary. DA05QuestingBeastDoIt Just as a bear climbs a tree to escape the hunt, but only ends up trapping himself. DA05QuestingBeastDoIt Seek out this rogue shifter. Tear the skin from his body, and make it an offering to me. DA05QuestingBeastImOnIt Fly, my hunter. There are others who vie for my favor. A bit of competition. Don't dally while the prey flees. DA05QuestingBeastNuhUh There is no retribution in the hunt. It is not vengeance I seek, but the blood course of a living hunt. DA05QuestingBeastNuhUh There are others who would gladly accept my favor. DA05QuestingBeastNuhUh They will hunt him while you delay. Your choice. DA05QuestingBeastRing I may consider it. But you must first do a service for my glory. DA05QuestingBeastWhatNow Your fealty is precious to me. I will make good use of it. DA05QuestingBeastWhatNow You bear my ring. DA05QuestingBeastYakBranchTopic Well met, hunter. DA05SindingDuringHuntBranchTopic And I would deserve it, wouldn't I? DA05SindingDuringHuntBranchTopic I can't stop you if that's what you want to do. Hircine is too powerful. DA05SindingDuringHuntBranchTopic But if you spare me, I can be a powerful ally to you. And I would promise to never return to civilized life. DA05SindingDuringHuntBranchTopic I know now that I can't live among people. DA05SindingExplainAttackBranchTopic I had just come into Falkreath. They needed some help working the mill, and I thought that would be something safe. Something I could do. DA05SindingExplainAttackBranchTopic When I saw the little girl, I was just... I could feel it coming on. I could taste the... I needed to hunt. DA05SindingExplainAttackBranchTopic But this pitiful, limited body wasn't meant for hunting. Slow. No claws. Weak, mashing teeth for chewing cud. DA05SindingExplainAttackBranchTopic I held in my rage as long as I could. But it boiled inside of me. DA05SindingExplainAttackBranchTopic She looked so fragile. Helpless prey. And then... DA05SindingExplainAttackBranchTopic I... I feel terrible about what happened. About what I did. It would probably be best for everyone if I just went away. DA05SindingExplainWitchesTopic I've been looking for a way to appease Hircine. DA05SindingExplainWitchesTopic There is a certain beast in these lands. Large, majestic. DA05SindingExplainWitchesTopic It's said that Hircine will commune with whoever slays it. I tracked it into these woods, but then had my... accident with the child. DA05SindingExplainWitchesTopic I want to beg his forgiveness. Give him back the ring. But while I'm stuck in here, the beast wanders free. DA05SindingGhostFinalTopic You've done well, hunter. DA05SindingGhostIDidIt And found my favor. That skin will serve you well, child. DA05SindingGhostIDidIt Look more closely at it. My glories shall protect you from all this world's grievances. DA05SindingGhostIDidIt Good hunting. DA05SindingGirlIsDead This is the Ring of Hircine. I was told it could let me control my transformations. DA05SindingGirlIsDead Perhaps it used to. But I'll never know. Hircine didn't care for my taking it, and threw a curse on it. DA05SindingGirlIsDead I put it on... and the changes just came to me. I could never guess when. It would be at the worst times. DA05SindingGirlIsDead Like... with the little girl. DA05SindingHircineInformationTopic Do you not know the Daedric Lord of the Hunt? DA05SindingHircineInformationTopic He revels in the chase, and also gave the "gift" of lycanthropy to mortals. DA05SindingHircineInformationTopic A powerful force, not to be crossed. As I learned too late. DA05SindingHircineInformationTopic ... and may we one day rejoin them in eternity. DA05SindingHircineInformationTopic May the spirit of Lavinia and all those who have left this world and its suffering know the beloved serenity of Aetherius... DA05SindingHircineInformationTopic It is through the ebb and flow of this cosmic tide that we find renewal and, in the end, peace. DA05SindingHircineInformationTopic But he willingly gave up this existence that we might better understand the vagaries of life and death. DA05SindingHircineInformationTopic The god Arkay was once like us, bound to winding mortality. DA05SindingIntroBranchTopic A little girl is dead because of me. DA05SindingIntroBranchTopic Believe me, it wasn't anything I ever intended to do. I just... lost control. DA05SindingIntroBranchTopic I tried to tell them, but none of them believe me. DA05SindingIntroBranchTopic It's all on account of this blasted ring. DA05SindingIntroBranchTopic Believe me, it wasn't anything I ever intended to do. I just... lost control. DA05SindingIntroBranchTopic I tried to tell them, but none of them believe me. DA05SindingIntroBranchTopic It's all on account of this blasted ring. DA05SindingPostKillHuntersBranchTopic Thank you for your help. I will make my home here, away from anyone I might hurt. DA05SindingSpareLife Thank the gods. Now let's deal with these other hunters. We hunt together! DA05SindingStart Come to gawk at the monster? DA05SindingTakeRingTopic Oh my. You would do this for me? Here, take it. I don't want anything to do with this wretched thing anymore. DA05SindingTakeRingTopic Seek out the beast. He wanders these woods. Bring him down and... well, the Lord of the Hunt should smile on you. DA05SindingTakeRingTopic I wish you luck, but should leave here while I still have my skin. DA05SindingTakeRingTopic Should our paths cross again, I will remember your kindness. Farewell. DA05SindingWhyKillTheGirl I don't suppose there's a point in keeping the secret if I'm going to die in here anyway. DA05SindingWhyKillTheGirl I'm sure you've heard of men who shift to beasts under the influence of the moons. DA05SindingWhyKillTheGirl I am one of them. A werewolf. It's my secret, and my shame. DA05SindingWhyKillTheGirl That's why I wanted the ring... it was said to give men like me control. DA05SindingWhyKillTheGirl Now I may look like a man, but I still feel the animal inside of me, as strong as ever. DA05_SindingAttack So be it. DA05_SindingAttack (Crying) DA06AtubInitialBranchTopic Forgive Ugor's harsh words. She is merely doing as she has been told. DA06AtubInitialBranchTopic You have returned. Will you now aid me in contacting Malacath? DA06AtubInitialBranchTopic Fine, it's your neck. DA06AtubInitialBranchTopic You were charged with keeping us inside the walls. Have faith, Ugor. I only wish the best for our tribe. DA06AtubInitialBranchTopic Yamarz charged me with keeping outsiders away from Largashbur. You would have me disobey him? DA06AtubInitialBranchTopic We cannot carry on this way! You know we are doomed if we do not do something! DA06AtubInitialBranchTopic We need nothing from outsiders! Yamarz will provide for us. DA06AtubInitialBranchTopic Ugor, no! This may be the one we need. DA06AtubInitialBranchTopic Halt! You have no business here, outsider. Leave at once. DA06AtubInitialFollowUp Our Chief, Yamarz, was once a strong and proud warrior. Now he is stricken, cursed. DA06AtubInitialFollowUp He is weak, and so our tribe is weak. The giants sense this, and intrude on our territory. Now they assault our very home. DA06AtubInitialFollowUp Yamarz refuses help, but I sense that you may be just what we need. DA06AtubInitialResponse1 Please, our tribe suffers and we need help. DA06AtubInitialResponse2 No, don't go! DA06AtubInitialResponse2 No, don't go! You may not be one of our tribe, but you are an Orc nonetheless! DA06AtubInitialResponse3 Yamarz has demanded we stay inside the walls. We cannot leave. DA06AtubInitialResponse3 I must petition Malacath for relief. This curse must be lifted. DA06AtubInitialResponse3 But I cannot travel to Malacath's shrine. The ritual must be done here, and I do not have the materials I need. DA06AtubInitialResponse3 I beg of you, can you bring me Troll Fat and a Daedra Heart? I have no wish to depend on a stranger, but I have no choice. DA06AtubInitialResponse4 We have been on our own for some time now. I fear we will not survive. DA06HowLongBranchTopic Weeks? Longer? It feels like an age has gone by. I haven't slept in so long. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yes, because a worthless City Orc is just what we've been waiting for. Finally, we're saved! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Oh, of course! Because Malacath would take pity on us if only a useless outsider would lend a hand. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Slay it! Slay the dragon! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You'll die this day, dragon! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Werewolf! Kill the monster! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Come on, you monster! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Die, you filthy beast! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Skyrim belongs to the Nords! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're a disgrace to your own kind! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You call yourself a Nord? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Your kind has no place here! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You should've stayed in your precious forests, elf! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Die, you Orc filth! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm gonna wear that tail as a belt! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You'll make a fine rug, cat! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You remind me of my cousin's cat. Killed that, too! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Let's see what you've got! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Shor have mercy on you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll rip your heart out! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You think you can take me? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll carve you into pieces! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll mount your head on my wall! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Ha ha! I love a challenge! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You won't leave Skyrim alive! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic True Nords never back down! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You won't get the best of me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You won't leave here alive! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll bury you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're dead! Dead! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You ready to die today? Huh? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Damn you... DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Just give up! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Prepare to die! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic This is the end for you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I swear, I'll kill you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You won't live to see tomorrow! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I can take you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You can't beat me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic This ends now! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Victory or Sovngarde! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll make you pay! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You've already lost! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You don't have a chance! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll see you in pieces! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic There's no escape! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Show me what you've got! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Come on! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Put up a real fight! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I've fought worse than you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're nothing, hear me? Nothing! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I can do this all day! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic This is what I've trained for! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No one can save you now! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're a dead man! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're a dead woman! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll kill you if I have to! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You won't get the best of me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Now you'll pay! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Are you prepared to die? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I've fought worse than you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll show you what a real Orc can do! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Pray to Stendarr while you can! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll show you a real fight! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No one bests an Orc! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You puny weakling! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll skin you alive! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're a fool to fight me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic For blood! For glory! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Take your best shot! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Your death brings me honor! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Beg for your miserable life! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll have your head for a trophy! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Pray to your gods for mercy! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll rip you in half! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll tear you to pieces! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm going to crush you like a bug! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You won't get away from me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're good as dead! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm gonna kill you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll fix you good! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're making me angry! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Graaah! I'll get you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Why won't you die! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I can take you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic This is the end for you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're out of your league! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic This is the part where you fall down and bleed to death! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll see you dead and buried! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll gladly kill you myself! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You've dug your own grave! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're outmatched! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Enjoy your last breath! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You won't get away! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll bathe in your blood! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic This is your last mistake! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You won't even live to regret this! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You'll beg me to kill you before I'm done! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No one crosses me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You can't beat me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Just give up! You can't win! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll gut you like a horker! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're going to pay! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll carve you into pieces! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I won't hold back! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll kill you, I swear it! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I won't back down! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll fight you to the end! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I can take you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You won't get me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Your end draws near! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're pathetic! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You dare challenge me? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're no match for me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You've already lost! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic The White take you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're as good as dead! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I love a good fight! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Think you can take me? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Your end draws near! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll paint the snow with your blood! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Sovngarde awaits you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Death awaits you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I haven't lived this long to be beaten by you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I can still put up a fight! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I've fought colds tougher than you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I've got some fight left in me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I may be old, but I can put up a fight! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I won't go down so easily! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Look what you've made me do! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I've outlived worse than this! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You need to learn some manners! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You should respect your elders! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I've still got some fight in me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You brought this on yourself! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll see you burn! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll end your miserable life! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You don't stand a chance! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic This is your last mistake! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're outmatched! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're already dead. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You can't defeat me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Come on, fight back! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I. Will. Destroy you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Come on! Let's see you put up a fight! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Come on, show me what you've got! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You think I'm afraid of you? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Very well, I'll try milady. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yield to me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It only takes but a moment to say a silent prayer to Mara. Please come by soon; not for me, but for yourself. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm going to enjoy this! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Sorry Lady Dinya, but I've been busy of late. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll kill you where you stand! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic When are you going to stop by the temple, Madesi? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic And you thought I was just a pretty face. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll raise a cup to your grave! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Much appreciated, Lady Drifa, but I'll manage. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Remember... hit the one in the middle! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm certain Bolli would be happy to lend you a few septims. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Everybody pushes me around. Well no more! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I wish I could, milady. Sadly, I haven't sold enough of my own jewelry let alone buy some from you. I'm sorry. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll... get you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic We got a few pieces of jewelry at the Prawn, Madesi. Want to come take a look at them later? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Stand... still! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Maybe I'll show you one day, Madesi. Have them delivered to the Bunkhouse, won't you? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Begging your pardon milady... I know these have something to do with Dibella, but whatever are they for? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Oh, splendid! I can't wait to use them. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Lady Haelga, so pleased to see you. Your Marks of Dibella are ready. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You dare fight a Dunmer? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Azura curse you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Outrageous! Who does she think she is?! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Nerevar guide me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Begging your pardon, milord. Your wife has run up quite an account in the last few months. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Nerevar guide me! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Madesi, what's this bill for 300 septims! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Hssssssss! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Posh. I'm not paying for it. Put it on Bolli's account if you please. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yield, and I may still show mercy! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I have a single one left, quite expensive, but also quite elegant. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Time for you to die! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm looking for a necklace. Do you have anything with garnets? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You think you stand a chance? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Ah, Nivenor. What can I sell you on this fine day? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're pathetic! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Going to enjoy killing you! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Foul blood drinker! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You...must...die. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Lady Mjoll, if you lost a gold ring anywhere in this city I'm afraid it's likely never to be seen again. I'm sorry. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Must...kill. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Stolen? How can you be certain? I may have just misplaced it somewhere in the city. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Kill. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm afraid not. I don't deal in stolen goods. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Thank you. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Free...again. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I was hoping you could help me. It seems I've lost a ring that also means quite a bit to me. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic At last. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It's made of gold with an inscription on the inside that says "sand elske." DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Whoa! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Then put the thumbscrews on him and hit him... hard. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Let's go. Shouldn't keep the gods waiting for us. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic And if he still refuses? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You've got to tell them! We weren't with you! This is a mistake! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I've known Bersi a long time. Even before he opened that rubbish heap he calls a shop. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No! Wait! We're not rebels! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Why do you think? End of the line. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Give him one more week to think about it. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Why are we stopping? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Bersi still refuses to cooperate. What did you want to do? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Wait. Something's happening... gods above! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Anything you say, Mother. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Steady. I don't know what's happening. Let's watch and wait. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I don't trust them. Come to think of it, I don't trust you either, but at least you're family. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Very well. Keep at it. You may go. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Sorry, my lady. I've been looking but I'm convinced Saerlund says truly believes what he is saying. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic We already have people that do that and they make quite a bit of coin for it. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're forgiven. Now, I want to know if you've made any progress with my son. Is he cursed? Has he been possessed? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Hemming, I want you to personally supervise the next shipment. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm sorry my lady. The stresses of all this research... it's becoming more than I can bear. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic How dare you take that kind of tone. You're in service to me, remember? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic For your sake, I hope you're right. Because if it is you, and Maven finds out, the Dreth family is going to be one member smaller. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Do you realize how delicate the experiment is you've interrupted by sending for me? I may need to throw out the components and start again. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic The Dreth family doesn't steal, Indaryn. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm not accusing you of anything. Yet. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No. Of course you're right, Unmid. I'll stay here for now. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic What are you saying? You think I had something to do with that? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic My lady, there could be agents of the Empire looking for an opportunity like that to have you killed. Are you willing to take that risk? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Romlyn, I've been meaning to speak to you. I did a count at the meadery and we're four cases short... again. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Anuriel seems to think that seeing me on the streets might bolster the city's morale. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Aerin, I owe you my life. It would take a threat to all of Skyrim for me to depart. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Begging your pardon my lady, but I strongly recommend against it. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm relieved to hear you say that. If you were to leave, I'd miss you terribly. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Riften has problems of its own. Now is not the time for exploration and discovery. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Unmid, I wish to travel about the city. Prepare an escort please. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You've been in Riften for quite some time now, Lady Mjoll. I fear that you soon may leave us. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm not angry with you. Tell you what, lover. Meet me in my chambers later and we can discuss the situation in private. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yes... father. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I trust you, I'm just concerned about her safety. That's all. Don't be angry with me. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll rest easy when we've driven every last Imperial pig back across the Jerall Mountains! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I would never knowingly place Laila in danger, you know that too. Why do you always question my judgment? You don't trust me. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Now, do me the honor I deserve as your father and drink up! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Anuriel, would you please stop declaring that the city is safe for the Jarl to roam? You and I both know that isn't true. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Take it easy, father. You're making a scene. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Drink up, my boy! Drink to those who have fallen! May their souls find their way to Sovngarde! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I look forward to it then. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Grelka! Lower your voice before you get us both in trouble. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Of course. Your training isn't complete yet. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Well, let's all raise a flagon to Ulfric; future King of Skyrim and bringer of poverty to the working class! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Unmid, my sweet. Are we still meeting later for... combat training? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Worse. The Khajiit Caravans are the only way to get supplies into the city, and even those are becoming more infrequent. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic So, Brand-Shei... business as awful for you as it is for all of us? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You've done what you've had to for yourself, not for mother. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're disgusting! Don't you even think of laying a finger on me or I'll cut off something you can't live without. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Wise up, Harrald. There's a storm on the horizon and it will blow through here with all its fury. It's time to choose a side. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Ah, so my reputation as a lover precedes me. Care to reconsider? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I've done what I needed to do keep mother happy. It doesn't matter what I really believe. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're an animal, Tythis... keep away from me. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic What's become of us? We used to be inseparable... always fighting back to back and letting nothing stand in our way. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Hey, Svana... I hear you like Dark Elves. Perhaps I could should you what a real Dark Elf can do to you. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You've changed, brother. And not for the better I'm afraid. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Just be patient, aunt. She'll have it, I promise. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic If that's what it will take then so be it. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic So, is this what it's come to? You'd have your own flesh and blood hanged just to solidify your grip as the next Jarl? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Why do you insist on defending that woman? All she does with her money is spend it on that Dark Elf garbage! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic At least I've chosen a side instead of acting like a spectator. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic She said she'll have it soon. She still has her job at the meadery for now, so she'll be able to pay us. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic One day, you'll be forced to make a choice. And I hope it's the right one, brother. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Svana! Has that skooma-addled idiot Niluva paid us her rent yet? Or does she have more excuses? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Perhaps. Perhaps not. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm disappointed in you brother. You had it all. You had it all and your mouth cost you everything. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're wrong! Sibbi and I are in love and you're just jealous! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Come now brother, don't act all high and mighty. I know you could care less about the war one way or another. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You mean Sibbi? You must be joking! All he wants to do is bed you and be done with it. You may as well get it over with and let him. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic The things you say are just an act to please mother. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No! I'm saving myself for someone special. Someone who loves me dearly. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I see you still have the run of the place, traitor. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It's only a bit of fun. You're a lovely young thing, you should try it sometime. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Well, make sure we keep the patrols out night and day, just to be certain. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Aunt Haelga, why you... demean yourself with these people you barely know? They show no real love for you. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yes, I've heard such things. Anuriel assures me they're just fabrications and there's nothing down there save a few stray skeever. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You can't deny the fact that he needs to give back to his people; to fight to keep us free. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic This situation with the sewers beneath the city. I hear people have entered this place and have gone missing. Do you know of this? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You healed the wounded, Nura. You saw their life's blood spilling into the mud, giving back to the land. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yes mother? What is it? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No. I'm sorry, I've worked too damn hard to let his life go to waste. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Harrald, I have need of you. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic That's right. He is your son. He has his own hopes and dreams and we have no right to tell him otherwise. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I will hear no more of this, Harrald. Do you understand me? No more! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic My only concern is your safety, mother. One can only imagine the sordid types he may be conspiring with to bring about your downfall. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It would please me if he'd take up arms and fight for to save his homeland. Is that too much to ask my own son? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic What would you have me do, send him to the gallows for treason? He's your brother, Harrald. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You need to be easier on Asgeir. All he wants to do is please you. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Mother, how long must we put up with Saerlund spouting his nonsense about the Empire? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Then by Talos, you do what you feel you're meant to do. I'll take care of your father for you. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yes, my lady. I will pass the good news on to her. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I understand. It just isn't me. I'm not a warrior and I don't think I ever will be. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic But of course! Tell her she'll have it. Maven is one of the few people I can trust and I'd be delighted to give her my blessing. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic My lady, Maven Black-Briar has sent word that she requires your seal in order to expand her shipments into Morrowind. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Of course he cares. You just have to understand that your father was a soldier and he'll always be a soldier. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Excellent, then they'll be no need to devote any resources to stopping it. Thank you, Anuriel. That will be all. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I believe it to be a falsehood perpetrated by the Empire in order to weaken the citizen's confidence in your ability to rule. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic He just wants you to follow in his footsteps. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Mother, what can I do to make father happier? It seems no matter how successful I become he doesn't care. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It's been brought to my attention that the poison known as skooma may be present in our city. What do you know of this? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It has everything to do with politics. Asgeir my son, you have so much to learn. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yes, my lady? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Father, I promise you, this has nothing to do with Empires or politics. It's just business. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Anuriel, a word please. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Vulwulf! The Empire may be our enemy, but Asgeir is still our son and we're a long way from Cyrodiil. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Don't worry, Shadr, your secret is safe with me. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Of course it is. That's what happens when you're partners with a corrupt Imperial whore like Maven. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It's for Marise, but don't say a word to her! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It's going very well, actually. The war hasn't even slowed down our production or shipping at all. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Only thirty more and it'll be all yours. If I might ask, who is the lucky woman? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Here's another septim, Madesi. How much more do I need? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Hush, Vulwulf... let the boy speak. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It's my pleasure. If you see the Thieves Guild harassing anyone else, you be sure and let me know. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Not this again... DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Ever since you scared off that thug from the Thieves Guild, not one of them's bothered me. We're lucky to have you here. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic How are things at the Meadery, my dear? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Madesi, my friend. How have things been since last week's incident? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Hello, Lady Mjoll. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Then I thank Lady Mara with all my heart; for you, for our child and for our love. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Next time a Black-Briar asks for something, I suggest you respond quickly and affirmatively. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You were guided here; you were always meant to be here. That's the way of things. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Please, milady, it was only because he threatened me. He said he'd have me thrown in the prisons if I didn't give him what he wanted! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic And to think I was wandering the ash wastes only two years ago. I never knew my path would lead to you. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It fills me with joy to hear you're with child, Dinya. They said it wouldn't... that it couldn't happen, but Mara has shown them they're mistake. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I can't afford to just give my jewelry away! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You're a good man, Maramal. We're lucky to have you watching over us. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Is it true that you refused to sell one of your... trinkets to Hemming? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yes, yes, I know. I just wish to show them there's more to life than drowning your sorrows in a goblet of mead. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Lady Maven, how may I help you? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm so sorry my husband. You must remember, they're at the Bee and Barb to drink, not to listen to a sermon. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic They laughed at me again, Dinya. They simply don't understand. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I understand, mother. Forgive me. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I tolerate your son because he'll do anything I ask, without question. I'd expect the same from my own son. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Why do you tolerate him, mother? All he contributes to this family is embarrassment and disgrace. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I know that! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic The Dark Elves and the Wood Elves have never been the best of friends. Be patient, they'll come around soon enough! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I can promise you when he's ready, he'll find the cell door unlocked. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I don't know if I can stand the abuse here much longer. They treat us like outcasts. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Sibbi? He's in prison... you put him there. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic All I'm saying is Indaryn's going to push someone too far one day and they're going to push back... hard. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic What do you mean? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Hemming, I need you to bring a note to Sibbi. I need him to do something for me. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic That s'wit. One day, he'll regret pushing all of us around. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yes, mother. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Do you know what Indaryn told me? He said if I'm late one more time he'll kick me right out the door! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic This is the last warning. You do it again, and you'll be sleeping in Beggar's Row with the rest of the riff-raff! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Your interests lay where I wish them to lay otherwise my favorite daughter may end up homeless and without a septim to her name. Is that clear? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Tell me something. Do you enjoy spending Lady Maven's gold for her? It certainly seems that way. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I've told you, my interest in the family business is quite low. I wish to be much more than just a merchant. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I... I'm sorry. I could have sworn I sealed it. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Ingun, how much longer do you intend to waste your life concocting your foolish little potions? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Ungrien! I just found another spoiled keg! What's the matter with you? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Oh, yes... spices. That was a special order for someone in Whiterun. Should be along any day now. Don't let it worry you, my dear. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You sure? It was in your handwriting. If you can't keep the books straight then let me do them. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Was this before or after the Mythic Dawn attacked the Emperor and Valen single-handedly fought them off? Just shut up and drink, Romlyn. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Spices? I'm certain I have no idea what you're talking about. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic He killed six Imperial Guards before they dragged him into the prisons. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I love when you spin that yarn. Gets better every time you add something new. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Drifa? I was looking through our books and there's an entry for "spices." Says we spent 300 septims. What is that? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Have I told you about Valen, my dear? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Laila is as clueless as she is stupid. No. If anything's to be done about this, we have to deal with it ourselves. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Suit yourself. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You know I don't mean that. We need to find a way out of this. Perhaps talk to Laila... DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You stupid lizard! I said give me some more drink, or I'll have your head on a pike! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I think you've had plenty, Vulwulf. Maybe you should head on home. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Talen! Another round! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Xhuth! Black-Briar or not, say that again and so help me you're going to need more than your mother to protect you from me. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic What would you have me do, woman? Cross the Guild? Take them all on one by one? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic What's the matter, I thought you people were used to indentured servitude. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Sorry Hemming, I've no interest in becoming your valet. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You keep giving and giving Bersi, and they'll keep taking and taking. When is it going to end? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic So, Talen. Have you reconsidered my offer? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Chin up, Ungrien! Remember, you have a roof over your head and food in your belly thanks to the very same Dark Elves. Be thankful. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Damn it, woman! Ingun is the most promising alchemist I've ever seen and I won't have you scaring her off! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Wretched Dark Elves. It's just my luck I ended up working under one of them. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Oh dear, I didn't mean to say she isn't bright. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It's the things she makes here, the things she says and all those poor little animals she tests them on. It's just not right. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Ingun? She's brilliant; a natural! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Elgrim, honey. I'm concerned about your new pupil. She seems very... odd. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Ah, I see. Well, just be careful around my things! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Oh my. Elgrim, it's on the shelf to the right of the table, as always. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Don't you "dear" me! I had a bowl of Vampire Dust on my worktable not an hour ago and after you swept in there it's gone! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Sigh. What is it now, dear? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Hafjorg! Where did you put it woman?! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Thank you, Laila. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No, that won't be necessary. You'll have compensation for your loss. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Laila, Riften is my home, but if my meadery can't be safe here, I'll just move it elsewhere. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic We... don't have enough to... DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Quite. To be brief, I need compensation for the lost shipment. Since Riften was responsible for it, Riften should pay for it. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I have payments to make you realize. If I can't make them, I can't make Black-Briar Mead. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Indeed. We lost three soldiers in that attack. A sad day for Riften. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Well, I'm also certain you're aware that our own city guard failed to provide the protection required to ensure safe passage of the shipment. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yes, indeed. An entire caravan shipment of your mead taken by Imperial soldiers. What of it? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Thank you, Laila. I wanted to discuss the protection of my shipments. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'm certain you're aware of the loss I sustained a fortnight ago. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Maven! Always a pleasure to receive you. What can I help you with today? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Nothing, nothing. Just straighten yourself out before you find yourself headed back to Black Marsh. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic What was that? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic There's always the Thieves Guild. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No, no, no. I need this job! This is the last place in town to have work. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Wujeeta, you can't keep showing up here late. Bolli's just going to get someone to replace you. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Sigh. Very well. You're lucky Maramal has placed me in a very forgiving mood. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Please, don't get rid of me! I need the coin. I... I'll work for free for the rest of this week. Please! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I don't know what I'm going to do with you. I can't just let this go unpunished. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I know, I was late. I'm sorry. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Wujeeta, we need to talk. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You may be my wife, but this is my business, so just do your job. Don't worry, you'll still have plenty of gold left over to waste on trinkets. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Uh huh. I'm sure he runs outside with the coin and throws it up in the air so Mara herself can catch it. Come off of it, Bolli. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Maramal's been helping me through a rough patch. I just wanted to pay him back. It's not like he's keeping it! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Bolli, I was looking at the finances and I noticed you've been donating gold to the Temple of Mara. Are you out of your mind? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Sigh. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic For goodness sake, Bolli! You barely lift a finger yourself when you're here except to point at things for your workers to do. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Let them do the work, that's what you pay them for! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic It means I have a business to run, I need to have the books straight and you're barely ever here! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic And just what's that supposed to mean? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Decided to show up for work today, eh? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic That she did. Very good. I'll tell Brynjolf. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yep. She said that the Jarl was planning a surprise raid on us, but she talked her out of it. Said she saved us a lot of trouble. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Good. Did she say anything we need to know? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Job's done, boss. Gave the package to her just you said. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Take it easy, Vekel. How long we known each other? Yeah. I checked it. All the stuff is in the safe. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Tell me you looked through the trash before you did that. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Yeah. Threw it in the lake like you said. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Dirge! Did you take out the trash like I asked? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No, my friend. That would be reckless. We have to help, but help in a way that doesn't directly place anyone in harm's way. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic For now, give this "Ratway" a wide berth. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I say we go down there and clear the place out, just like old times. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I suspected as much. The real question now is do we do something about it ourselves or do we speak to the Jarl? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Well, you were right. These so called 'Gutter Saints' live in the sewers beneath. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I'll look around the house and if I find it, I'll bring it to you right away. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic I hope not. That ring is irreplaceable. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic No, I haven't. Don't tell me you've lost it. DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Aerin, have you seen my ring? The one with the inscription? DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Now! Quickly! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic That's it! Now, wait until he's well inside! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Steady! Steady, now! Keep under cover until it's down! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic You better know what you're doing! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Shor's bones, here he comes! DA06LargashburHelpBranchTopic Hear that? DA06OrcKilledBranchTopic Why, why have you done this to us? DA06OrcKilledBranchTopic I cannot protect you if you murder us. This is the only warning you will receive. DA06Stage09YamarzResponse03 Good. I'll be waiting right here. DA06Stage100ShagrolFGTopic Yamarz has fallen. It is now up to you to return the giant's hammer to Atub. DA06Stage100ShagrolFGTopic The tribe may yet survive, but only if you are willing to do what is right. DA06Stage100ShagrolFGTopic Yamarz has revealed himself as a coward and a schemer, and has earned the fate of all who follow that path. DA06Stage100ShagrolFGTopic The tribe may yet survive, but only if you are willing to do what is right. DA06Stage100ShagrolFGTopic Take the giant's hammer to Atub, and tell her what has happened here. DA06Stage100YamarzFGTopic Excellent work. You have a true fighting spirit. Did that better than I could have. DA06Stage100YamarzFGTopic Of course, I can't let you leave here alive. Wouldn't want anyone finding out. DA06Stage110AtubBranchTopic But... What of Yamarz? DA06Stage110AtubBranchTopic I see. He did not survive. He... He died well? DA06Stage110AtubResponse1 What? Why would he do such a thing? DA06Stage110AtubResponse2 Ah, that is good to hear, then. DA06Stage120ShagrolFGTopic You have done admirably, little one. DA06Stage120ShagrolFGTopic You have helped rid the Orcs of Yamarz in a way that avoids the destruction of their tribe. DA06Stage120ShagrolFGTopic They will become stronger for it. And you... You have proven your strength. DA06Stage120ShagrolFGTopic You have earned my favor for now, mortal, and so I give you a little gift. Use it well. DA06Stage120ShagrolFGTopic You, place that hammer on the shrine. You're the only one who's proven worthy in all of this... DA06Stage120ShagrolFGTopic You'll have to prove yourselves, but I'm willing to give you a chance. Gularzob's in charge now. Let's hope he's a better chief. DA06Stage120ShagrolFGTopic So he has been punished? And what of us? What fate shall we suffer? DA06Stage120ShagrolFGTopic Yamarz was a coward and a weakling. His deceitful ways have cost you all greatly. DA06Stage20AtubQuestion1Topic Our chief is weakened. He will not rest, will not sleep. He suffers, and so the tribe suffers. DA06Stage20AtubQuestion1Topic Yamarz is proud, and refuses to see that we need outside help. DA06Stage20AtubQuestion1Topic He needs someone to confide in. If it will not be one of us, perhaps it will be you. Go to him. DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpB1 I am the one cursed by Malacath. It is my burden. I bear it, and continue to lead, and the others see how strong I am. That is how I rule. DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpB2 Are you blind, or just stupid? You think the tribe has not seen you talking to me? You think they would not know? DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpB2 Do not mistake our life for one of stupidity. It would be the last mistake you make. DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpC1 Hrmph. Breaking a curse is not a simple thing. It is dangerous. DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpC1 But... To have won against Malacath himself... That would be seen as real power. DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpC2 Perhaps... Perhaps it might. If nothing else, you could be an excellent sacrifice to Malacath. DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpC2 You really want to help? You go offer yourself at Malacath's Shrine. Petition him for help. DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpC2 He might not devour you whole. DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpD1 You persist? Fine. You go tell Malacath to lift this curse from me. See how well he listens to you. DA06Stage20YamarzFollowUpD1 Offer yourself up as a sacrifice while you're there. DA06Stage20YamarzInitFollowUp1 Spirits! Ghosts! I am cursed, haunted, and I can do nothing. Can you fix that? DA06Stage20YamarzInitFollowUp1 Of course you cannot. No one can. It is my lot as Chief of this tribe, and so I suffer quietly. DA06Stage20YamarzInitFollowUp2 The kind that curse you, haunt you in the dead of night. There is nothing you can do, nothing anyone can do. DA06Stage20YamarzInitFollowUp2 Shagrol, once the leader of this tribe, unhappy with his demise, has dealt with Malacath himself to curse me, curse us all. DA06Stage20YamarzMainBranchTopic Atub! Meddlesome woman... You would help us? Help me? DA06Stage20YamarzMainBranchTopic Tell me, outsider. Can you banish spirits? For that is what I need. DA06Stage20YamarzResponse1 You? An outsider? I'd sooner slit my own throat than accept help from you. DA06Stage20YamarzResponse1 To even consider it would be such a sign of weakness that I might as well abandon my tribe now. DA06Stage30AtubCurseTopic Almost ever since he became leader of the tribe. DA06Stage30AtubCurseTopic He killed Shagrol in combat, which none of us thought possible. But the winner is made Chief. That is how it is done. DA06Stage30AtubForcegreetTopic So, he says to petition Malacath for relief? Interesting. DA06Stage30AtubResponse1 Perhaps. But he spoke of this "curse" to you, which means it has deeply affected him. DA06Stage30AtubResponse1 It may be worth attempting contact with Malacath after all. DA06Stage30AtubResponse1 Go to Malacath's shrine, southeast of Largashbur. See if perhaps he will aid us after all. DA06Stage30AtubResponse2 Yes, but he offered it as an idea. Perhaps he hopes it will be helpful, but does not wish to risk personal failure. DA06Stage30AtubResponse2 You should do as he says. Go to Malacath's shrine, northwest of here, and ask for his help. See what happens. DA06Stage30AtubResponse3 His shrine lies northwest of Largashbur. I am unsure that he will listen, but it cannot hurt. DA06Stage40AtubBranchTopic The ears of the wind? DA06Stage40AtubBranchTopic Malacath himself said this to you? But what does it... Ah! Yes! I see! A ritual is necessary! DA06Stage40AtubBranchTopic This message is for me. I understand now. I have work to do. You, I shall need your help. DA06Stage40AtubBranchTopic I need a Daedra's heart, at once! Quickly, quickly! DA06Stage50AtubBranchTopic Excellent. Now, you must come with me. You've become a part of this. You must be present for the ritual. DA06Stage50AtubBranchTopic In a Daedra, of course. DA06Stage50AtubBranchTopic Be careful. The spirits can speak to the living if there's a strong connection. DA06Stage50AtubBranchTopic Good. The more time he pines for the dead wives, the less time he spends finding a new one. DA06Stage50AtubBranchTopic He's been spending a lot of time at the graves again. DA06Stage50AtubBranchTopic Come back to me when you have something useful. DA06Stage50AtubBranchTopic For all of us. DA06Stage50AtubBranchTopic Not for us, it isn't. DA06Stage50AtubBranchTopic Very little. It's an uncertain time. DA06Stage50AtubMalacathBranchTopic You do not know of Malacath? He is the keeper of oaths, the master of curses. DA06Stage50AtubMalacathBranchTopic You are an Orc, but do not know of Malacath, our master and yours? DA06Stage50AtubMalacathFollowUp He is quick to anger, and slow to forgive. One who wrongs Malacath is one who will endure great torment in return. DA06Stage50AtubMalacathFollowUp He demands loyalty and strength from his orcs. We have tried to please him, but he is now angry with us, and so we suffer. DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic This is all your fault, you know. DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic I'm stuck fighting a giant now, thanks to you. So you're going to help me. DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic You're going with me, and you're going to make sure I don't have any trouble reaching that giant. DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic Don't worry, I'll make it worth your while. DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic Very well. You, outsider, come here! I want a word. DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic So it will be. Malacath has spoken, Yamarz. Your path is clear. DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic You let giants... Giants!... overrun my shrine. Bring me their leader's club as an offering, and I might release you from this curse! DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic You don't deserve to call yourself an Orc! You're weak, you're small, and you're an embarrassment! DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic Bah. He never had a connection with any of them beyond what his loins told him. DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic What? What is this? DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic You dare summon me, Yamarz? DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic What's that? DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic You pathetic weakling! DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic Why are we bothering with this? DA06Stage70YamarzFGTopic Now, we begin the ritual... DA06Stage70YamarzResponse1 Thanks to you, I've just been issued a challenge in front of my whole tribe, by a Daedric Prince, no less. I can't ignore that. DA06Stage70YamarzResponse1 I didn't say I wouldn't fight the giant. I just said you're going to help me get to it. DA06Stage70YamarzResponse1 Meet me outside Fallowstone Cave. You clear the way to the giant for me, and I'll make sure you get paid for it. DA06Stage70YamarzResponse2 This giant... It's not the only thing in Fallowstone Cave. Getting to it isn't going to be easy. DA06Stage70YamarzResponse2 You're going to clear a path to the giant, so I can conserve my strength. I'll make sure you're paid for it. DA06Stage70YamarzResponse2 So you meet me at Fallowstone Cave, and we'll get this over with. I can have my tribe back, and you can... You can leave us alone. DA06Stage90YamarzGroveResponse1 I'm tired, I haven't slept well in weeks. DA06Stage90YamarzGroveResponse1 You kill the giant, bring me the hammer. We go back to Largashbur, I tell everyone I did it. DA06Stage90YamarzGroveResponse1 You keep your mouth shut, and I pay you. Handsomely. DA06Stage90YamarzGroveResponse2 Fine, then wait here. This should only take a second. DA06YamarzStage90GroveBranchTopic All right, I'll go kill this giant. DA06YamarzStage90GroveBranchTopic Unless, of course, you'd like to make some extra gold. DA07DagonFinalTopic01 You have been a worthy tool. Fill the world with destruction in my name. DA07DagonFinalTopic01 Place your hands on my altar one last time, and you will witness the power of Mehrunes Dagon for yourself. DA07DagonFinalTopic02 Spare me your pitiful pride. You are but a tool of my ambitions, mortal. Never forget that. DA07DagonFinalTopic02 Place your hands on my altar one last time, and you will witness the power of Mehrunes Dagon for yourself. DA07DagonTopic01 Kill him. Take your rightful place as my champion, or I will crush you. DA07DagonTopic02 Only Dagon can declare if a pawn is worth keeping. I. Have. Spoken. DA07DagonVoiceBranchTopic You. Mortal. You are worthy of speaking to. You have claimed the pieces of my Razor. It has been an amusing game to witness. DA07DagonVoiceBranchTopic But Dagon does not declare a winner while there is a pawn on the board. Kill Silus. He and his family have served their purpose. DA07DagonVoiceFinalBranchTopic I am pleased, mortal. I will give you my Razor. Use it to wreak havoc on Tamriel. DA07FINSilusBlockingTopic Run for it! DA07FINSilusBlockingTopic The museum is doing well. I haven't told anyone about the... incident with the Razor. DA07FINSilusBlockingTopic Good to see you in my museum again. I owe you my life. DA07FINSilusBlockingTopic I never thought all I would want is peace and quiet, but I think our little adventure scared me straight. DA07HaveAllInvisibleContinueBranchTopic Finally, all the pieces of Mehrunes' Razor are in my hands. It's time I let you in on something. DA07HaveAllInvisibleContinueBranchTopic There's a fourth piece. That scabbard in the display case. Built to house the Razor. And there's more. DA07HaveAllInvisibleContinueBranchTopic I know how to put all the pieces together. We just need to take them to Dagon's shrine and contact the Lord of Change directly. DA07HaveAllInvisibleContinueBranchTopic We just need the shards of the blade and the hilt, now. DA07HaveAllInvisibleContinueBranchTopic We just need the pommel and the shards of the blade, now. DA07HaveAllInvisibleContinueBranchTopic We just need the hilt and the pommel, now. DA07HaveAllInvisibleContinueBranchTopic There's only the shards of the blade left to collect. Exciting, isn't it? DA07HaveAllInvisibleContinueBranchTopic There's only the pommel left to collect. Exciting, isn't it? DA07HaveAllInvisibleContinueBranchTopic There's only the hilt left to collect. Exciting, isn't it? DA07HaveAllPiecesBranchTopic All at once! You're efficient. I like that. Here's your reward. DA07HaveBladeBranchTopic Look at them. The legendary sharpness of a deadric weapon. Marvelous. DA07HaveBladeBranchTopic And here's your payment for the shards. DA07HaveHiltBranchTopic Did you try the grip? Isn't it eerie how it seems to mold itself into your hand? DA07HaveHiltBranchTopic Here's your gold. DA07HavePommelBranchTopic Our master craftsman are nothing compared to the perfection of the Daedra. Look at how it shines. DA07HavePommelBranchTopic Here's your gold, as promised. DA07IntroMadenaBlockingBranchTopic I beg you, don't go into Silus's museum. DA07IntroMadenaMuseumTopic Silus comes from one of the oldest families in Dawnstar. They have a complicated history. DA07IntroMadenaMuseumTopic Several of his ancestors belonged to the Mythic Dawn, the cult that almost destroyed Tamriel. DA07IntroMadenaMuseumTopic His family's involvement was only found out well after the crisis had died down, but it still ruined their reputation. They were outcasts. DA07IntroMadenaMuseumTopic And now Silus is back and this museum to the Mythic Dawn is his way of trying to rebuild his family's pride. It's misguided. DA07IntroMadenaMythicDawnTopic Not a student of history I see. It's for the best. They're a group that should be forgotten. DA07IntroMadenaMythicDawnTopic The only thing you need to know is that they almost destroyed the world, and they were stopped. A long time ago. DA07JorgenBribe Divines know the mill could use some new blades. All right. It's yours. Here's the keys. It's locked in a chest inside my house. DA07JorgenBribe Why don't you take your coin and keep walking? DA07JorgenChoice01 I've heard of him. My father had suspicions about his connection to the Mythic Dawn. Guess they were true. DA07JorgenChoice01 I don't need this. My family wasted 8 generations keeping that Razor safe from a dead cult. As far as I care, it can stay locked in my house. DA07JorgenIntimidate Easy. Here. These are the keys. The hilt is in a chest in my house, just don't hurt anyone. DA07JorgenIntimidate You want a fight? You got it. DA07JorgenNevermind Best leave the past buried, I say. DA07JorgenPersuade You want the hilt that bad? Fine. Here's the keys. It's locked in a chest inside my house. DA07JorgenPersuade I don't care, but my ancestors do. You can't have it. DA07PamphletBranchTopic And here you are. I hope you've found the museum to your liking. DA07QuestGiveBranchTopic A little history, first. After the Oblivion Crisis, a number of groups cropped up dedicated to wiping out the remnants of the Mythic Dawn. DA07QuestGiveBranchTopic One of these groups found Mehrunes' Razor, the artifact of Dagon. They split it into three fragments and pledged to keep them apart forever. DA07QuestGiveBranchTopic That was almost 150 years ago, and the pieces are still being kept by the descendants of that group. And they're right here, in Skyrim. DA07QuestGiveTopic01 At least two of the owners, Ghunzul and Drascua, are dangerous marauders. And the third owner, Jorgen, I only know he lives in Morthal. DA07QuestGiveTopic01 Here are my notes about them. I'll gladly pay you for getting the pieces any way you can. No questions asked. DA07QuestGiveTopic02 Fine. I can't force you to help me, but the offer is open. DA07RazorOwnersBranchTopic Don't know what you're talking about, stranger. DA07RumorsTopic Some fool is opening a museum in Dawnstar. They say he's paying people to collect artifacts from that old Mythic Dawn cult. DA07RumorsTopic I wonder why they only stole Lucan's golden claw. I mean, we have plenty of things in the shop that are worth just as much coin. DA07RumorsTopic Lucan found the claw about a year after he opened the store. He never quite explained where he got it. He's a tricky one. DA07RumorsTopic Those thieves must be mad, hiding out there. Those old crypts are filled with nothing but traps, trolls, and who knows what else! DA07RumorsTopic Wh- no... I.... Oh, by the Eight, fine. But only to the edge of town! DA07RumorsTopic Oh really? Well I think your new helper here needs a guide. DA07RumorsTopic Yes. So now you don't have to go, do you? DA07RumorsTopic So this is your plan, Lucan? DA07RumorsTopic Come on, father. There's nothing more to be said here. DA07RumorsTopic Face it, cow! Your stupid son is dead! He died a Stormcloak traitor. And you... you best keep your mouth shut before you suffer the same. DA07RumorsTopic "Holding him"? Why I've got him in my cellar. He's my prisoner. DA07RumorsTopic Do you believe this old hag? DA07RumorsTopic I will never accept his death! My son still lives. I feel it in my heart. So tell me, Battle-Borns, where is he? Where are you holding my Thorald? DA07RumorsTopic Your son chose his side, and he chose poorly. And now he's gone. Such is the way of war. The sooner you accept his loss, the better. DA07RumorsTopic Nothing? And what of my son? Hmm? What of Thorald? Is he nothing? So don't talk to me about suffering! DA07RumorsTopic Foolish old woman! You know nothing! Nothing of our struggles, our suffering! DA07RumorsTopic Well what are you going to do then, huh? Let's hear it! DA07RumorsTopic We are done talking about this. DA07SilusFinalChoice01 Fine. I'm not dying without a fight! DA07SilusFinalChoice02 Thank you. Here's your gold. I'll make a run for it back to Dawnstar. DA07SilusForcegreetEntryTopic And here comes my first visitor. The Museum of the Mythic Dawn is open, friend! DA07SilusForcegreetEntryTopic Let's talk inside. DA07SilusForcegreetEntryTopic That museum is a mistake. DA07SilusForcegreetShrineBlockingTopic Good. You're here. I'll place the pieces on the altar, and Dagon should speak to us. DA07SilusForcegreetShrineBlockingTopic I'll meet you at the shrine. DA07SilusForcegreetShrineBlockingTopic Let me put the pieces on the altar. We'll see if Mehrunes Dagon can still be reached. DA07SilusForcegreetShrineBlockingTopic Try putting your hands on the altar. Maybe Mehrunes Dagon will speak to you. DA07SilusMuseumWhyTopic We hid from our past for years, became tradesman, people of coin and influence. DA07SilusMuseumWhyTopic But I realized that the Mythic Dawn's importance -- our importance -- to history cannot be denied. DA07SilusMuseumWhyTopic I'll see everyone in Tamriel remember that for a moment, we held the fate of the world in our hands, for good or ill. DA07SilusMuseumWhyTopic It's no secret that my family were once members of the Mythic Dawn. One of my forefathers was even chosen to assassinate Uriel Septim himself. DA07SilusOutsideAccept Let's talk inside. DA07SilusOutsideChoice01 Yes. My collection of artifacts from a group that toppled an Empire. DA07SilusOutsideChoice01 Why don't you come in? You can browse the displays, and we can talk. I have a job you look perfect for. DA07SilusOutsideChoice02 Never mind that. Madena is a good woman, but I have my own reasons for opening this museum, and I'm not changing my mind. DA07SilusOutsideChoice02 I have a collection of artifacts from the group that toppled an Empire. Their importance to history cannot be forgotten. DA07SilusOutsideChoice02 Why don't you come in? You can browse the displays, and we can talk. I have a job you look perfect for. DA07SilusOutsideChoice02 Ah, yes. That scabbard. Notice the insignia? An Oblivion Gate. A key symbol of Mehrunes Dagon, the patron Daedra of the Mythic Dawn. DA07SilusOutsideChoice03 And here you are. Good. Come in, browse the display, and let's talk. I have a job you look perfect for. DA07SilusOutsideReject Your loss, but if you change your mind, I'll be here. DA07SilusPleadForcegreetBlockingTopic Wait. Wait. Don't kill me. There's another way. DA07SilusPleadForcegreetBlockingTopic I can take the pieces back to my museum. Seal them in a display case. DA07SilusPleadForcegreetBlockingTopic You get a generous amount of gold, I get to complete my collection, and nobody has to die. DA07SilusPleadForcegreetBlockingTopic Before you go, mortal. One final challenge. Ha ha ha. DA07SilusPleadForcegreetBlockingTopic You think to betray Mehrunes Dagon? Suffer! DA07SilusPleadForcegreetBlockingTopic It's not working. Why don't you give it a try? Just put your hands on the altar. DA07SilusPleadForcegreetBlockingTopic Mehrunes Dagon, the Lord of Change, we have brought your Razor to you. We beg you, please bring the blade's full glory to Tamriel again! DA07SilusQuestionsMythicDawnBranchTopic They were worshippers of Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Lord of Destruction and Change. DA07SilusQuestionsMythicDawnBranchTopic The Mythic Dawn killed Uriel Septim VII and his heirs, triggering the events that lead to the Oblivion Crisis, when the Daedra invaded Tamriel. DA07SilusQuestionsMythicDawnBranchTopic All that remains of the infamous cult, I've gathered in my museum. DA07SilusRazor01 Ever since I was a boy, I felt this strange sense of destiny surrounding the Mythic Dawn cult, and now I know what it is. DA07SilusRazor01 Don't you see? Fate has led you to me and to the pieces. Dagon has to answer our call. We're so close. DA07SilusRazor01 I'll meet you at the shrine. DA07SilusRazor02 You don't want to be part of history? Fine. I'll be at the shrine if you change your mind. DA07ValmirMehrunesDagon Ah, an excellent question. Mehrunes Dagon is the Daedric Lord of Change, Destruction, and Ambition. DA07ValmirMehrunesDagon Dagon's Mythic Dawn cult killed the Septim Dynasty and opened the Oblivion Gates into Tamriel. They called it the Oblivion Crisis. DA07ValmirMehrunesRazor The Razor is Mehrunes Dagon's personal artifact. It has always heralded bloody change and carnage. DA07ValmirMehrunesRazor It's held many names: Dagger of the Final Wounds, Bane of the Righteous, the Kingslayer. DA07ValmirMehrunesRazor The Mythic Dawn worshipped Dagon as a god. Having his Razor would be invaluable to my collection. DA08BalgruufQuestStartBranchTopic Yes, my youngest son. He's a dark child. I don't know what to do with him. DA08BalgruufQuestStartBranchTopic He was always a quiet lad, but lately... something has changed. He's become brooding. Violent. DA08BalgruufQuestStartBranchTopic He won't say a word to me, but I don't know how I upset him. DA08BalgruufQuestStartBranchTopic If you could speak to him. Draw out the truth. I would be immensely grateful. DA08BalgruufRumorsTopic Been hearing some strange tales of the Jarl's children. Say the one's turning wicked, and the others have an ill-favored look to them. DA08BalgruufRumorsTopic Best to keep clear. DA08Hellos Another wanderer, here to lick my father's boots. Good job. DA08Hellos The only grownups who talk to me are the kind I don't want talking to me. DA08Hellos Have I done something to make you bother me? DA08Hellos You... you know the Whispering Lady, don't you. I can tell. DA08Hellos You're going to end up helping me. I know it. DA08Hellos Kind of nice being in on the secret, itsn't it. DA08Hellos Father says I'm too young to train with a sword, so I practice with my fists! DA08Hellos Hope this war lasts long enough that I get to fight in it. Battle! Glory! DA08Hellos You're not from around here. I'll bet you're here to help with the war! DA08Hellos One of the new servants? Remember that I like my meat rare. DA08Hellos Absurd that you can't get good sweet rolls in this skeeverhole of a city. DA08Hellos Where is papa? I want to ride Karinda now! DA08Hellos Blasted war. I was due a new dress from Solitude, but it will never get here. DA08MephalaGratsDoneShared At last, my blade is returned to its full glory. DA08MephalaGratsDoneShared Now go forth, child. Continue your tiny subversions against the orders of trust and intimacy. DA08MephalaGratsDoneShared The blade will feed on the ire of Tamriel. Bathe in your infamy. Feel the weight of their loathing, and my power will course through it once more. DA08MephalaGratsDoneShared Seek out those closest to you. The final pluck of their misguided heartstrings will accompany my blade in the song of your grandeur. DA08MephalaGratsDoneShared Your world is admirably seeped in lies and inclinations. My blade is a darling leech that feeds on deceptions, and nourishes its master. DA08MephalaGratsDoneShared To return to its past glory, it must reacquaint itself with the hatred of this world. DA08MephalaGratsDoneShared To return to its past glory, it must first drink the blood of deceit. DA08MephalaGratsShared1 Excellent work, child. DA08MephalaGratsShared2 I can feel their heartbreak swelling in my blade. DA08MephalaGratsShared3 Their tears shine the ebony to a sharpest gleam. DA08MephalaGratsShared4 Ah, the blood of deceit is a nourishing flow. DA08MephalaHowToOpenDoor The whole of Whiterun is ripe with paranoia and tensions. The Jarl's court is right to fear the power I hold behind this door. DA08MephalaHowToOpenDoor The Jarl trusts few, and they will be his undoing. The dark child knows of what I speak. DA08MephalaHowToOpenDoor Let him guide your path. DA08NelkirDoorOpeningHintsTopic I told you, I know everything about this castle. DA08NelkirDoorOpeningHintsTopic For some reason that door is special. Only two people can open it, Balgruuf and Farengar, the court wizard. DA08NelkirDoorOpeningHintsTopic How you get it from them is up to you. Nobody would notice if Farengar went missing, I promise you. DA08NelkirHowDoYouKnowThis This castle is old. Lots of places nobody's been in a long while. DA08NelkirHowDoYouKnowThis Places where you can overhear things. See things. DA08NelkirHowDoYouKnowThis And the Whispering Lady. DA08NelkirQuestStartBranchTopic So the disgusting pig sent you to bother me? One day, I'll tear his face apart so he can leave me alone. DA08NelkirQuestStartBranchTopic My father doesn't know anything about me. DA08NelkirQuestStartBranchTopic But I know about him. And about the war. More than he might think. DA08NelkirWhatDoYouKnow I know that he still worships Talos. That he hates the Thalmor almost as much as the Stormcloaks do. DA08NelkirWhatDoYouKnow That he worries about being chased from Whiterun. DA08NelkirWhatDoYouKnow That he... that I'm... that I don't have the same mother as my brother and sister. DA08NelkirWhereIsThedoor In the basement. Trust me, you'll see it. DA08NelkirWhereIsThedoor I bet she'll talk to you, too. DA08NelkirWhoIsWhisperingLady She won't tell me her name. DA08NelkirWhoIsWhisperingLady I've gotten good at listening to keyholes. At the door in the basement, I hear her talking to me. DA08NelkirWhoIsWhisperingLady I thought I was caught, but she started telling me even more secrets. DA08NelkirWhoIsWhisperingLady But I can't open the door. DA08WhisperingDoorHeyWhat The boy is good at sussing out secrets, but the corruptibility of children is ultimately too limited for my purposes. DA08WhisperingDoorHeyWhat You, though, I expect will prove far more malleable. DA08WhisperingDoorIllNeverJoinYou Suit yourself. But those who listen at doors always wonder what is beyond them. DA08WhisperingDoorIllNeverJoinYou Eventually your curiosity will drive you back to me. DA08WhisperingDoorIntroTopic At last. DA08WhisperingDoorIntroTopic I've been waiting for someone more fit to carry out my will. DA08WhisperingDoorIntroTopic The child is spirited, but lacks... agency. DA08WhisperingDoorNoWay You may think so. But in the end, you mortals will always flit like fire with the winds of your desires and conveniences. DA08WhisperingDoorNoWay And those winds issue from my whispers. DA08WhisperingDoorNowTellMe I forgive your not knowing my name. Few can hear my whispers anymore. DA08WhisperingDoorNowTellMe I am Mephala, the Lady of Whispers. DA08WhisperingDoorNowTellMe I tug at the web of connections between mortals. Love, hatred, loyalty, betrayal. DA08WhisperingDoorWhatDoYouWant First, you must open this door. DA08WhisperingDoorWhatDoYouWant A piece of my power has been locked away behind it, and even my eyes cannot see past the seals. DA08WhisperingDoorWhatDoYouWant I'd much rather it be in the hands of an ambitious and talented person such as yourself. DA08WhisperingDoorWhoAreYou Regrettably, I cannot reach your plane so directly. DA08WhisperingDoorWhoAreYou But I forgive you for not knowing who I am. Few hear my whispers anymore. DA08WhisperingDoorWhoAreYou I am Mephala, the Lady of Whispers. DA08WhisperingDoorWhoAreYou I tug at the web of connections between mortals. Love, hatred, loyalty, betrayal. DA08WhisperingDoorWhoAreYou The boy was good at sussing out secrets. You, I expect to take a more active role. DA09MeridiaArtifact Mortals call it Dawnbreaker, for it was forged in a holy light that breaks upon my foes, burning away corruption and false life. DA09MeridiaArtifact You will enter my shrine, destroy Malkoran, and retrieve this mighty blade. DA09MeridiaDawnbreakerNo It matters not. The plant cares nothing for the rays that bring it the warmth of the sun. As you carry Dawnbreaker, so will my light touch the world. DA09MeridiaDawnbreakerTopic Malkoran is vanquished. Skyrim's dead shall remain at rest. This is as it should be. This is because of you. DA09MeridiaDawnbreakerTopic A new day is dawning. And you shall be its herald. DA09MeridiaDawnbreakerTopic Take the mighty Dawnbreaker and with it purge corruption from the dark corners of the world. Wield it in my name, that my influence may grow. DA09MeridiaDawnbreakerTopic It is time for my splendor to return to Skyrim. DA09MeridiaDawnbreakerTopic But the token of my truth lies buried in the ruins of my once great temple, now tainted by a profane darkness skittering within. DA09MeridiaDawnbreakerYes May the light of certitude guide your efforts. DA09MeridiaQuestExplains Go now, the artifact must be reclaimed and Malkoran destroyed. DA09MeridiaQuestStartTopic The Necromancer Malkoran defiles my shrine with vile corruptions, trapping lost souls left in the wake of this war to do his bidding. DA09MeridiaQuestStartTopic Worse still, he uses the power stored within my own token to fuel his foul deeds. DA09MeridiaQuestStartTopic I have brought you here, mortal, to be my champion. You will enter my temple, retrieve my artifact, and destroy the defiler. DA09MeridiaQuestStartTopic Guide my light through the temple to open the inner sanctum and destroy the defiler. DA09MeridiaQuestWhy But a single candle can banish the darkness of the entire Void. If not you, then someone else. DA09MeridiaQuestWhy My beacon is sure to attract a worthy soul. DA09MeridiaQuestWhy But if you are wise, you will heed my bidding. DA09MeridiaQuestYes Of course you will. I have commanded it! DA09PerhapsThisOneWillListen Listen. Hear me and obey. A foul darkness has seeped into my temple. A darkness that you will destroy. DA09PerhapsThisOneWillListen A new supplicant approaches. DA09PerhapsThisOneWillListen Restore to me my beacon, that I might guide you toward your destiny. DA09PerhapsThisOneWillListen Look at my temple, lying in ruins. So much for the constancy of mortals, their crafts and their hearts. DA09PerhapsThisOneWillListen If they love me not, how can my love reach them? DA10Hellos Don't know what that man expects. House is empty. DA10Hellos Untie me. Now. DA10Hellos No.... Not again! DA10Hellos No more.... No more! DA10Hellos Don't kill me.... I don't want to die! DA10Hellos I... won't... surrender! DA10Hellos Call... that... a... swing? DA10Hellos You'll pay for this.... DA10Hellos I'll never submit! DA10Hellos Do your worst, monster! DA10Hellos I won't bend. Never! DA10Hellos No more.... No more.... I submit, Molag Bal. I submit! DA10Hellos Mortal. I give you my mace, in all its rusted spitefulness. DA10Hellos Crush the spirit from Logrolf's bones. Make him bend to me. DA10Hellos What? You! DA10Hellos Ah. But I have my own champion this time, Logrolf. DA10Hellos Molag Bal. You think you can best Boethiah's faithful? I have won this contest before! DA10LogrolfBribe Fine. I won't ask questions. Cut me loose. DA10LogrolfBribe You think it's money I need? I'm a prisoner, not a beggar. DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic That's all I can do, you idiot. What are you waiting for? DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Ah ha ha! You mortals and your frail, limp, pathetic bodies. Try it again. DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic You bend to me? DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Yes! DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic You pledge your soul to me? DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Yes! DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic You forsake the weak and pitiful Boethiah? DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Yes! DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic You're mine now, Logrolf. DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Kill him. DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic No problem. DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Keep your scales on. DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Too lazy to give him a drink yourself? Oaf. DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Yes, mum! DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Yessir! DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Lynly, would you mind taking care of the customer please? DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Hey, Talen... get off your lazy tail and take care of the customer! DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Frabbi, a customer needs a drink! DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Saadia, wake up dear! DA10LogrolfDoNotFreeTopic Look alive, will you! DA10LogrolfFreeTopic Ah, freedom. Now get out of my way. I have a task to attend to. DA10LogrolfHouseBlockingBranchTopic You there. Are you here to kill me? Slay the mighty Logrolf while he sits tied and helpless? DA10LogrolfHouseTopic01 Rescue? No one knew where I was, when I was taken. Who sent you? DA10LogrolfHouseTopic02 Coward. You're nothing. Nothing! DA10LogrolfIntimidate So. The King of Corruption sends his messenger to challenge me. Very well. DA10LogrolfIntimidate I will meet with Molag Bal, and I will venerate his altar in Boethiah's name, as I did before. DA10LogrolfIntimidate Cut me loose, minion of the Hated One. I need to get to Markarth. DA10LogrolfIntimidate You? A servant of the King of Corruption? Has the beast's standards fallen so far? Tell me another one. DA10LogrolfNeverMind I have a choice? DA10LogrolfPersuade The Dark Mistress? She sent you? Wait. Molag Bal's altar. Of course. DA10LogrolfPersuade I have to get to Markarth at once. Cut me loose. DA10LogrolfPersuade The Dark Mistress? Sent you? Ha. Now tell me the one about the Troll who gives gifts to good little boys and girls. DA10MolagBalFinalBranchTopic The Mace of Molag Bal! I give you its true power, mortal. DA10MolagBalFinalBranchTopic When your enemies lie broken and bloody before you, know that I will be watching. DA10MolagBalFinalTopic01 Now, I have a soul in Oblivion that needs claiming. Take care of the house while I'm gone. Ha ha ha! DA10MolagBalFinalTopic02 Know your place, mortal. Or Molag Bal may just send another champion to claim his mace from your broken corpse. DA10MolagBalFinalTopic02 Now, I have a soul in Oblivion to claim. Take care of the house while I'm gone. Ha ha ha! DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Fool! Did you think Molag Bal, the Lord of Domination, would so easily reward you? DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic What do you see from that little cage? Speak. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Esbern, look out! DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Yes, yes! I think we must be close to the entrance. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Looks safe now. Let's move. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic I would suggest staying on the plates with the Dragonborn symbol. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Be careful. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic There should be a way to turn this off. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic We'll cross once it's safe. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Hmm, Esbern's right. Look like pressure plates. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic We should be careful here. See these symbols on the floor? DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Why are you stopping? DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Wait. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Whatever you did, it worked. Let's see what else those old Blades left in our way. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Given that Sky Haven Temple was sealed against the return of the Dragonborn, I would try turning all the pillars to that symbol. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Yes, that's it. The symbol on the pillar on the left. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Yes, that's it. The symbol on the middle pillar. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Yes, that's it. The symbol on the pillar on the right. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic And of course the symbol for "Dragonborn." That's the one that appears to have a sort of arrow shape pointing downward at the bottom. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Let's see... you have the symbol for "King"... and "Warrior"... DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Yes. These are Akaviri symbols. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic These pillars must have something to do with it. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic We've got to get this bridge down. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Yes. Definitely early Akaviri stonework here. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic This looks promising. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic If you find that ring, bring it here. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic That journal means a lot to me, if you find it. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic I do miss that helmet.... DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Hopefully, that story about Lenne's Shield is true. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Don't forget. You find Queen Freydis's Sword, I'll reward you. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic If you find that sword, please bring it to me. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Come back as soon as you have the helm. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Retrieve that shield at all costs. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Execute every last bandit. Spare no one. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Good luck with the giant. Don't get stepped on. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic I want no mercy for those Forsworn. Understand? DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Vampires are clever hunters. More clever than you, definitely. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Remember. I need that bandit dead. Not alive. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Bandits are cowards. Don't strain yourself chasing them all down. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Show those marauders what Windhelm justice tastes like. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Sneak that ring back to Viola before we both get caught. DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Have you taken care of that... little problem? DA10MolagBalStatueBranchTopic Don't let Viola catch you in her house. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic01 Yes. It's an altar. Men would come and sacrifice the wretched in my name. The weak would be punished by the strong. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic01 But a Daedric Lord has his enemies, and my rival Boethiah had her priest desecrate the altar. Until you came. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic02 Rusted. Dry. There was a time when this mace dripped with the blood of the feeble and the worthless. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic02 But a Daedric Lord has his enemies, and my rival Boethiah had her priest desecrate it. Left it here to decay. Until you came. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic02 Yes. Your reward is waiting for you, mortal. Further down. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic03a Sharp, aren't they? This was the last thing many saw before they were sacrificed in my name. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic03a But a Daedric Lord has his enemies, and my rival Boethiah had her priest desecrate it. So long since it's tasted blood. Until you came. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic04 Revenge? No. I want submission. I want the priest who did this to bend his knee and give me his soul. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic04 He comes by to perform Boethiah's insulting rites at my altar, but he's been missing. Captured and bound. Left to rot. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic04 Save him. Let him perform his rite one more time. And when he does, we will be waiting for him. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic05 Fine. I offered you a reward. You'll get the freedom your kind enjoys so much. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic05 But Boethiah's priest is imprisoned as well. But not by me. He is hurt. Suffering. DA10MolagBalStatueTopic05 Save him. Let him perform his rites one more time. And when he does, I will be waiting for him. DA10RumorsBranchTopic Got a witchhunter in town, from the Priesthood of Stendarr. Keeps asking questions about that old abandoned house. DA10RumorsBranchTopic A witchhunter from the Priesthood of Stendarr is in town. He's asking a lot of questions about that old abandoned house. DA10TyranusBlockingBranchTopic There's no way out. There's no way out.... DA10TyranusBlockingBranchTopic Out the way we came. Hurry! DA10TyranusBlockingBranchTopic We're getting out of here. Now. DA10TyranusBlockingBranchTopic See if you can get the door open. DA10TyranusBlockingBranchTopic Something's going on here. DA10TyranusBlockingBranchTopic Eyes open. DA10TyranusIntroBranchTopic Excuse me, but do you know anything about this house? Seen anyone enter or leave? DA10TyranusIntroBranchTopic It's abandoned and it's always been abandoned. DA10TyranusIntroTopic01 Seems no one in this city has. DA10TyranusIntroTopic01B I'm with the Vigil of Stendarr. We believe this house might have been used for Daedra worship. Evil rites and so forth. DA10TyranusIntroTopic02 I was actually just about to head on inside. Be good to have someone watch my back. DA10TyranusIntroTopic02 Follow me, and keep your eyes open. Daedra are powerful creatures and tricksters. Never know what you'll find. DA10TyranusIntroTopic03 Damn. It's like everyone in this city has amnesia. DA10TyranusIntroTopic03 So close. Your prize is waiting. DA10TyranusIntroTopic03 Yes. Further. Into the bowels. DA10TyranusIntroTopic03 The Daedra has us. It's you or me! DA10TyranusIntroWalkAway Thank you for your time. DA10TyranusIntroWalkAway I don't need your help. DA10TyranusIntroWalkAway Guard. Prepare the prisoner. DA11DialogueReachcliffBlockingTopic Praise to you, champion! DA11DialogueReachcliffBlockingTopic Ah, the new disciple. I hear you have quite the appetite. DA11DialogueReachcliffBlockingTopic It's an honor, Keeper of the Ring. DA11DialogueReachcliffBlockingTopic You've brought us quite the meal. DA11DialogueReachcliffBlockingTopic You were given Namira's ring? A great honor. DA11DialogueReachcliffBlockingTopic I remember my first feast. I envy you. DA11DialogueReachcliffBlockingTopic I'm so glad Eola invited you to dinner. DA11DialogueReachcliffBlockingTopic Namira spoke to you? I knew this feast was going to be something. DA11DialogueReachcliffBlockingTopic Now this is going to be a good feast. DA11DialogueReachcliffQuestion Ah, yes. The courier. I guess you know my secret ingredient for that spiced beef, now. DA11DialogueReachcliffQuestion You buy a war dog from me? There's a reason why my hounds are so eager to bite into people. DA11DialogueReachcliffQuestion That's right. You're the sellsword. Thank you again. It's so nice to have help with my husband gone. Shame what happened to him. DA11DialogueReachcliffQuestion One of my customers? Did you know I inherited the store from my late husband? Shame what happened to him. He had such good taste. DA11DialogueReachcliffQuestion "The bloodiest beef in the Reach!" Ha ha ha. DA11EolaIntroBlockingEntry You were young when you first tasted human flesh, weren't you? A brother or sister had died? An accident, of course. DA11EolaIntroBlockingEntry Then the hunger set in. Curiosity. What's the harm in just one bite? DA11EolaIntroBlockingEntry It's okay, now. You've found a friend who understands you. You can let go of your guilt. DA11EolaIntroChoice01B It's inside Reachcliff Cave. But the dead have stirred from their slumber recently, and I was forced here. DA11EolaIntroChoice01B Meet me there. We will fight our way to Namira's embrace together. DA11EolaIntroChoice01B Until then, tell the people of Markarth that their dead won't be disturbed, anymore. We have bigger plans ahead. DA11EolaIntroChoice02A It's all right. I will not shun you for what you are. Stay. I will tell you everything you have forgotten. DA11EolaIntroChoice02B Very well. But should the hunger call out to you, I'll be waiting outside Reachcliff Cave. DA11EolaIntroChoice02B Tell the people of Markarth that their dead are safe. My work is done here. DA11EolaShared01 A lot of our kind block out the memory of their first meal. The shame is too much. But you don't need to hide anymore. DA11EolaShared01 Namira, the Lady of Decay, accepts you for what you are. She has a place for us, where we can sate our appetites without judgment. DA11EolaShared02 To Oblivion with you then! DA11EolaShared03 A priest, filled with the taste of an easy life. Brother Verulus, from Markarth. DA11EolaShared03 Give him this gold. Tell him you need Arkay's help exploring an old cavern for treasure. DA11EolaShared03 And when he stands in Namira's presence, she will take care of the rest. DA11FavorPlayerDialogueBranch2Topic I don't need to know the details. Blessings of Arkay to you for your help. DA11FavorPlayerDialogueBranch2Topic Here. Take my amulet as a reward. DA11FavorPlayerDialogueBranchTopic Divines preserve you, you're a hero. We'll re-open the Hall right away. DA11FavorPlayerDialogueBranchTopic Here. Take my amulet as a reward. DA11FavorVerulusShared01 Arkay keeps the cycle. He watches us in life and death. DA11FavorVerulusShared02 Arkay will guard our eternal rest. His servants shall protect the dead from harm. DA11FavorVerulusShared03 Protect us, Arkay, from the foul and unclean who seek to disturb the dead's rest. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 Let us sleep, sweet Arkay, by your side. Let no harm come to us. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 I feel the hunger inside of you. Gnawing at you. You see the dead and your mouth grows wet. Your stomach growls. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 Not many would walk blindly into a crypt, smelling of steel and blood, but not fear. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 You've returned. What happened in the Hall of the Dead? DA11FavorVerulusShared04 Find out what's happening in the Hall of the Dead. Arkay will watch over you. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 If it's about the Hall of the Dead, no, you can't go in there. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 I will be waiting at Reachcliff. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 Say hello to Verulus for me. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 Namira covets your ugliness. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 Blessed are the forgotten. The wretched. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 The dead exist to feed the living. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 Don't worry, the Eight are watching over us. I hope. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 Careful here, there's a trick to this. Trick is to not bleed to death. Ah, and there's a lever, too. DA11FavorVerulusShared04 Who enters? Will nobody save poor Melka? DA11FINCultistAfterFeastTopic Shh. You mustn't speak about such things away from the shrine. Only you and your dinner guests can know. DA11FINCultistAfterFeastTopic Better if we don't talk about that. As far as anyone's concerned, we all had dinner at a nice inn along the road, and nothing strange happened. DA11FINCultistAfterFeastTopic Don't go talking about that. Only the dinner guests can know. DA11FINEolaBlockingTopic I knew when you walked into the Hall of the Dead that you were special. DA11FINEolaBlockingTopic And here you are. Champion of Namira. Keeper of her ring. You're everything I hoped you would be. DA11FINEolaBlockingTopic Praise to Namira! DA11FINEolaBlockingTopic The feast has begun! DA11FINEolaBlockingTopic I can smell the blood. Good and sour. DA11FINEolaBlockingTopic Good. DA11FINEolaBlockingTopic Is dinner ready? DA11FINEolaBlockingTopic I love this part of the meal. DA11FINEolaBlockingTopic Namira grants us victory. DA11FINEolaChoice01 It's an honor, champion. Feel free to stay and mingle with your new coven. DA11FINEolaChoice01 Enough talk. Let's go kill some Imperials. DA11FINEolaChoice01 We had the advantage of surprise this time, but things won't be so easy from here on out. DA11FINEolaChoice01 That's the way I like it. Short and bloody. They never knew what hit them. DA11FINEolaChoice02 There, there. It will pass. Going too long without a proper meal can make the stomach weak. DA11FINEolaChoice02 Feel free to stay and mingle with your new coven, if you have the strength. DA11FINEolaCovenTopic No. This coven has existed for thousands of years. Namira is a goddess. She has been worshipped since time began. DA11FINEolaCovenTopic I'm honored to be leading the latest generation of Namira's faithful. Those who have embraced what they are. DA11FINVerulusGoodbyeWhileRunningTopic I must return to Markarth. DA11ForcegreetInvisibleContinue I need to get back to Markarth. Here, take this. It's the least I can do for saving my life. DA11GlooredhelDraugrClearBranchTopic You've done it. The shrine is ours again. DA11GlooredhelDraugrClearBranchTopic Now we need to prepare a grand feast to welcome you to Namira's coven. DA11GlooredhelDraugrClearBranchTopic You will have the honor of bringing a fresh kill for the main course. And I know the perfect person. DA11GlooredhelOutsideReachcliffBlockingBranchTopic Lead the way. DA11GlooredhelOutsideReachcliffBlockingBranchTopic You've come. The draugr infesting Namira's sanctuary are inside. DA11GlooredhelOutsideReachcliffBlockingBranchTopic Clear Namira's sanctuary of the undead. DA11GlooredhelOutsideReachcliffTopic01 I was hoping you would say that. DA11GlooredhelOutsideReachcliffTopic01 But first, you must restore to me my beacon. DA11GlooredhelOutsideReachcliffTopic01 I shall guide you unto it. Find it and return here. And great shall be your reward. DA11GlooredhelOutsideReachcliffTopic01 Return my beacon to Mount Kilkreath. DA11GlooredhelOutsideReachcliffTopic01 And I will make you the instrument of my cleansing light. DA11GlooredhelOutsideReachcliffTopic02 Then I'll wait. DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic I can't talk about it. Rest assured, the Jarl hears everyone's concerns. You will be able to visit the dead again soon. DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic You... must be Dragonborn! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic Keep firing! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic That's it! We'll bring that bastard down! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic Is that all you've got? DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic For Whiterun and Skyrim! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic Come down here and fight, you coward! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic I can't get a bead on him! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic Does anyone see him? DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic We don't stand a chance! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic Stay under cover! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic Now you're going to pay! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic Take him down! It's our best chance! DA11IntroSceneFavorGiveBranch2Topic Is it dead? DA11IntroVerulusBribe Well, the Priesthood of Arkay always accepts generous donations. DA11IntroVerulusBribe That's not going to work. DA11IntroVerulusIntimidate Then my answer is the Hall of the Dead is closed. By order of the Jarl. Understand? DA11IntroVerulusInvisibleContinue We've discovered that some of the dead have been... eaten. Flesh has been chewed off, bones were snapped to get at the marrow inside. DA11IntroVerulusInvisibleContinue We haven't caught anyone or anything yet. It's like it knows when I'm there. DA11IntroVerulusInvisibleContinue If you can get to the bottom of this, the Priesthood of Arkay will reward you. Take my key, and be careful. DA11IntroVerulusNeverMind Arkay keep you and protect you. DA11IntroVerulusPersuade All right. I was going to suggest the Jarl hire someone to sort this mess out, anyway. DA11RumorsTopic Did you hear? The Hall of the Dead is closed. Brother Verulus isn't the most popular man in town right now. DA11RumorsTopic They say that something happened in the Hall of the Dead. Brother Verulus has the whole place closed. DA11RumorsTopic Thanks again for saving my life. I think I'm done with venturing outside of Markarth, though. DA11RumorsTopic It's an honor to see you, the keeper of Namira's ring. DA11RumorsTopic Namira watch over you, champion. DA11RumorsTopic You're one of Namira's faithful now. DA11RumorsTopic But is it safe for you to be here? Won't the Imperials be looking for you? DA11RumorsTopic But is it safe for you to be here? We heard that Ulfric had been captured... DA11RumorsTopic Brother! Mara's mercy, you're safe! Your friend told me about Helgen... DA11RumorsTopic Brother! Mara's mercy, it's good to see you! DA11SceneBlockingBranchTopic (yawn) I'm so tired... DA11SceneBlockingBranchTopic Let me speak to our guest. DA11SceneBlockingBranchTopic Don't be shy. You should be the one to carve. DA11SceneBlockingBranchTopic This is your initiation into the coven. Go ahead. Have the first bite. DA11VerulusBribe That's no small amount of coin, friend. DA11VerulusBribe I suppose I can come with you for a short venture. Lead on. DA11VerulusBribe I'm just not up for it, sorry. I'd rather stay here, have a glass of wine, and perform my rites to Arkay in peace. DA11VerulusFollowPlayerBlockingBranchTopic Don't worry, Arkay's protection is absolute. DA11VerulusForcegreetGlooredhelDeadBranchTopic What... what happened? DA11VerulusForcegreetTopic01 Thank you. I don't know what's going on, but I think I owe you my life. DA11VerulusForcegreetTopic02 Sweet Breath of Arkay, were these the cannibals that were plaguing the Hall of the Dead? DA11VerulusIntimidate I think you need to calm down before I summon the guards. DA11VerulusLureBranchTopic You are looking for Arkay's protection while you delve some dank tomb, I take it? DA11VerulusLureBranchTopic My duties keep me busy in Markarth. I don't know if I can help you. DA11VerulusNeverMind Arkay watch over you. DA11VerulusPersuade Treasure, you say? DA11VerulusPersuade I suppose the Jarl won't mind if I'm gone for a little while. Lead on. DA11VerulusPersuade You know, in the Priesthood of Arkay, we have a joke about an empty pocket being better than a full grave. DA11VoiceofNamiraBlockingBranchTopic Mortal. I am Namira, the Lady of Decay. Your consumption of the blood and bile of Arkay's own is pleasing to me. DA11VoiceofNamiraBlockingBranchTopic I give you my ring. Wear it, and when you feast on the flesh of the dead, I will grant you my power. DA11VoiceofNamiraTopic01 Wallow in your wretchedness, my newest champion. DA11VoiceofNamiraTopic02 Your mockery will be the end of you. And on that day, another servant will feast on your entrails and discover a ring clenched in her teeth. DA11VoiceofNamiraTopic02 Be grateful for what time I give you until then. DA13BackgroundBranchTopic An impertinent question. The elf must die. Either carry out my will or do not. You are not the only mortal agent I could choose. DA13BlockingBranchTopic Ah, a wanderer, yes? No? Pilgrim, perhaps? Have you come to commune with Peryite, Taskmaster and blighted Lord? DA13FetchTurnInTopic Ah, have you? Let Kesh have them. DA13FetchTurnInTopic That should do. Now - Inhale deeply. DA13FetchTurnInTopic Yes, yes. This will create a fine fume. DA13KeshBthardamzBranchTopic Not far, not far. This one looks upon it on clear days. Look to the west, at the foot of the mountain. The Dwarven ruins there. Bthardamz. DA13KeshFetchDetailsTopic Yes, the incense. Fetch for me a deathbell flower, one silver ingot, a flawless ruby, and some vampire dust. Then I will show you how. DA13KeshIngredientsHelpBranchTopic This one would try a shop. You might prefer the direct route, hm? DA13KeshIngredientsHelpBranchTopic Deathbell grow in the frozen tundra. You might nip into a mine for the ruby and silver. Vampire Dust is tricky. Vampires, you know. DA13KeshIngredientsHelpBranchTopic Ro... DA13KeshOrchendorBranchTopic Orchendor? Kesh knew him. He's an Overseer. Shepherd. Gathers the Afflicted, contains the festering wound. DA13KeshOrchendorBranchTopic Orchendor and his Afflicted are meant to stand ready, awaiting Peryite's command to cover the world with his Blessing. DA13KeshPeryiteTopic01 He is the pus in the wound. Oh, proper ones curl their noses, but it's pus that drinks foul humors and restores the blood. DA13KeshPeryiteTopic01 I worship Peryite, yes, because sometimes the world can only be cleansed by disease. DA13KeshQuestIntroTopic01 Not everyone has the stomach required to entreat my Lord. But Kesh likes you, friend. There is a way Peryite may speak to us who will take Him in. DA13KeshQuestIntroTopic01 If you wish to commune with Him, we'll need the incense. DA13KeshQuestIntroTopic01 Ah, no. Don't think you've got the stuff. Come back when you've seen a bit more in life, perhaps. DA13NeedSPeakPeryiteAgainTopic The vapors are waning, but not yet gone. Take a breath. Peryite will speak if He sees fit. DA13PeryiteAfflictedPostComment Did you leave any alive? The Afflicted are mere vessels for my Blessing. It will spread to others through their touch and my own. DA13PeryiteAfflictedPostComment Another Overseer will replace Orchendor, when the time comes. For now all is cleansed and ordered. DA13PeryiteDismissedBranchTopic So you have, mortal. Go now. Kill Orchendor. DA13PeryiteGoodByeBranchTopic Embrace order and hard truth, mortal. Good bye. DA13PeryiteIntroBlockerTopic Breathe deep, mortal. I would have you hear me well, so let these vapors fill your lungs. DA13PeryiteReturnBlockerTopic Well done, mortal. All things are in their order, and Orchendor roams the Pits. His betrayal will be punished, and your obedience is rewarded. DA13PeryiteTopLevel02Topic In a sense, but no more poisoned than a fool after too much wine. DA13PeryiteTopLevelTopic01Topic I have watched you for some time, you know. The decisions you've made intrigue me, and I wonder if you are the proper agent for a task of mine. DA13QuestInfoQueryTopic I sent a blessing to Mundus, a wasting plague that infected a scattering of Breton villages. DA13QuestInfoQueryTopic One of my monks, the elf Orchendor, was sent to gather these Afflicted. He shepherded them into Bthardamz for me, but has since lost his way. DA13QuestInfoQueryTopic I will not stand for betrayal. I want you to go to Bthardamz and kill Orchendor, in my name. DA13ReluctantChampionTopic And yet you have done my bidding. Why, I wonder? DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic The pettiness of mortals. I had almost forgotten. DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic I can grant you a powerful token for this task. An escutcheon of Dwemer make, capable of shielding you from both the spell and sword. DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic Return when the elf lies dead and it will be yours. DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic Look, Shadr. Last warning. Pay up or else. All I care about is the gold. Everything else is your problem. DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic What? Are you telling me you robbed it? Why? Why are you doing this to me? DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic Next time, keep your plans quieter and nothing would have happened to it. DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic I know I did. But how was I to know the shipment would get robbed? DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic I'm really getting tired of your excuses. When you borrowed the money, you said you'd pay it back on time and for double the usual fee. DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic It is no matter, this fool will be the next act of the show. DA13SpellbreakerBranchTopic And who is this? DA13WhatNowTopic Go, seek your fate. I will be watching, and perhaps we will meet again - afterwards. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You mentioned something like that... when you were running off with my goat! DA14AskAboutStaff0 Tell you what - you bring back my goat, and maybe I'll give a damn about your staff. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Talk to me again when you've cleaned up your mess. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Don't talk to me, defiler. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I have no words. Talk to Anwen. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Pick up your mess. Then we'll talk. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'm not going to talk to you until this mess is cleaned up. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Sybille Stentor has a grasp of magical theory that I would never have expected from a human. Even a Breton. DA14AskAboutStaff0 No doubt most folk in Skyrim consider the dragons terrifying. I find them... wondrous. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Spiced wine for ya? It's a family recipe. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Wanderer like you needs a little fire in the veins. Some spiced wine? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Being old's not so bad. Daughter keeps me fed, and my working days are done. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'm too old to work, but that don't make me too old to drink. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You got nothin' better to do than bother an old man? DA14AskAboutStaff0 You want to know the one truth I've learned in all my years? Life's too hard to face sober. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hmm? Sorry, I was lost in thought. I'm planning my wedding, you see. So many details to work out. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Some say I got my position because my cousin is the Emperor. Nonsense. The man's given me nothing. He can't even be bothered to attend my wedding. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Good business for the East Empire Company means all the more gold for the Empire. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I don't have time for anyone too lazy or cowardly to make their own way in this world. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I swear, I left another bottle right here... DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you see my father Octieve around, stay clear. He'll only ask you for money or mead. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Seems there's no end to the needs of the Imperials. But what can I help you with? DA14AskAboutStaff0 When the Stormcloaks took Solitude, I thought for sure things would slow down. But they keep me just as busy as the Imperials. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Wanderer like you must have plenty of tales to tell. But I'm afraid I'm too busy to hear 'em. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I got some fine armor, if you're lookin'. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Need a weapon? Hmmm... By the looks of ya, yeah... Think I've got somethin' you can use. DA14AskAboutStaff0 It's good to be away from the forge for a bit. DA14AskAboutStaff0 As high priest of the Eight Divines, I bid you welcome. DA14AskAboutStaff0 As high priest of the Nine Divines, I bid you welcome. DA14AskAboutStaff0 We welcome you to worship the Eight Divines, freely and openly. DA14AskAboutStaff0 We welcome you to worship the Nine Divines, freely and openly. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Wander no more, for you are among friends here, and safe. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'm afraid I'm running errands at the moment. But please, visit me later at the Temple of the Divines. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Well, now. I'm afraid you've caught me a bit out of my element. Most of my time is spent in the Temple of the Divines, you see. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Blessings be with you. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Blessings of the Eight Divines upon you. How may I help? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Blessings of the Nine Divines upon you. How may I help? DA14AskAboutStaff0 You look troubled. Have you come seeking guidance? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Feel free to take a seat, or pray at the shrines. We appreciate worship in all its forms. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Blessings to you. The Divines are listening. DA14AskAboutStaff0 The Divines saved me from the streets, and they can save you from your trials, as well. DA14AskAboutStaff0 May the Divines guide and keep you. DA14AskAboutStaff0 May you be saved by the Divines, as I once was. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I have no business with you. Leave me. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Go away. I have more important things on my mind right now. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I don't like strangers... DA14AskAboutStaff0 You, talk to egg-brothers. Deeja has no words for you. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You have no knowledge of who you speak to. Go away. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You want knives? You want them in your belly? No? Then you stop talking to Deeja. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Dock work is not good work. Better than Black Marsh though. Much better. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Oh my, old Ma'zaka has a visitor! DA14AskAboutStaff0 What brings you all the way out here? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Oh, for the salt spray, the creek of the mast, and the clash of sabers. Those were the days... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hey! Wanna play tag? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hiya! What's your name? Are you visiting? What do you do? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Papa says I won't see Roggvir any more, but he wouldn't tell me why not. DA14AskAboutStaff0 My papa says I'm greg-gare-ree-yus, just like him! He says it means "smart," but my brother says he's wrong. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Papa used to say I was greg-gare-ree-yus, just like him. I miss him... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Spare some gold for a veteran? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Can you spare a septim? Lost an eye during the Great War, or I'd earn it myself... DA14AskAboutStaff0 I hid here in Solitude for a long time but war, war follows a man until it's done with him. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Them Imperials left me to die in Anvil, and I had to fight my way back home. Then they followed me back here! DA14AskAboutStaff0 Plenty of fresh fish for ya. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I've got some salmon to sell. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You shouldn't leave Solitude without trying our fish. Best in Skyrim. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I... I don't want to talk. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I don't have anything to say. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Pardon me. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Mother says I shouldn't talk to people... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Are you here to talk about my brother? Do you think his execution was justified? DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'm not looking for conversation. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you want to talk about my brother, I'm not interested. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'm in mourning. Can't you see that? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Ah, welcome to Angela's Aromatics. Can I help with some herbal needs? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Need something for a potion? You're certainly in the right place. DA14AskAboutStaff0 So, what are your needs? Perhaps a pinch of this, and a bit of that? Hmm? DA14AskAboutStaff0 You were there for Roggvir's execution... DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you're looking for potions you should talk to my aunt, Angeline Morrard. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you're looking for potions, I think I can be of service. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'm a little busy at the moment. I've got all sorts of errands to run. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You look like an adventurous one. I bet we're kindred spirits, you and I. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Beirand said you got here just before the execution. Must have been a lovely first sight. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hmph. You know, you've got a certain... fire in your eyes. Just like my Beirand. Please, feel free to look around. We've got a bit of everything. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hmph. You know, you've got a certain... fire in your eyes. Just like my Beirand did. Please, feel free to look around. We've got a bit of everything. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Welcome. Look around. We've got everything you could want in life. At least... that's what Beirand always tells me. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Welcome. Look around. We've got everything you could want in life. At least... that's what my Beirand always told me... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hey! Wanna play tag? DA14AskAboutStaff0 I thought adventurers were supposed to look tough? DA14AskAboutStaff0 I bet my papa could beat you up. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I bet my papa could have beat you up. He was stronger than anyone. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I get to help mother with the shop. I used to help papa too... 'till I tried to use the forge... DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you're heading to the Blue Palace, you might want to rethink that outfit. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you ever want to replace those old rags, stop by Radiant Raiment. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Why, hello! Here to buy? If you have to ask the price, you may be in the wrong store. DA14AskAboutStaff0 We provide clothing for all of Solitude's most... influential residents. But for you, I'll make an exception. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Oh, what delight. Another charming customer... DA14AskAboutStaff0 So good to see you again. How can I be of service? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Let me just drop everything to help you. I don't mind. Really. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I can help with purchases, but if you came to talk, see my sister. She's the one who gets on with people. It's her one virtue, really. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Welcome to the Winking Skeever, friend. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you need a good rumor or two, I think I can oblige... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Traitors, civil wars, dragons. Bah. Those troubles don't cross my doorway. So sit, relax. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Feel free to make requests. DA14AskAboutStaff0 There's nothing like a good song to lift the spirit in troubled times. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Have a drink, rest your feet and stay a little while. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Uh oh. A fellow bard. I best not miss my notes or forget any lyrics. DA14AskAboutStaff0 New in town, right? If you need a place to sleep, head over to the Winking Skeever. We keep a fine inn. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You know, the Winking Skeever's not just the best inn in Solitude. It's the also the only inn in Solitude. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Don't mind me. I'm just running errands for the old man. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'm just running some errands for the old man... Err... For myself. I'm just running some errands for myself... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Seems there's always more to be done... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Glad you decided to check us out. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Soft sheets and hard liquor. What's not to like? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Welcome to Solitude. Home of the arts here in Skyrim. DA14AskAboutStaff0 It is my personal mission to ensure that the Bards College preserves the great deeds of the past, in both poetry and song. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I generally don't involve myself in politics. Good tales deal with the issues of the day, but a wise bard remains a neutral observer. DA14AskAboutStaff0 We bards record history - we do not make it. You'd do well to remember that. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Never forget, the most important job of any bard is to entertain. The day you lose your audience is the day you cut your lute strings. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Youngest bard at the Bards College, at your service. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Anything I can do for you, I will. DA14AskAboutStaff0 The pleasure's all mine. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Good evening. I'm Pantea Ateia, the Master Vocalist. DA14AskAboutStaff0 It's been my honor to perform at the Blue Palace on many occasions. His late lordship was quite the admirer. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you ask me, this damned rebellion can't end soon enough. I had to end my tour of Skyrim's courts. Too dangerous too travel. DA14AskAboutStaff0 To be honest, I simply can't stand some of my students. Only Aia shows true potential for greatness. The rest are just wasting my time. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'm Dean of Lute at the Bards College, and no, I don't give private lessons. DA14AskAboutStaff0 It takes two things to be a good teacher. The first is patience. The second is a firm wooden stick for rapping knuckles. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Only reason I'm so good with a lute is because I'm old. It takes a lifetime to master. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You here to apply at the Bards College? Well don't bother - you're too damned old. Start past four, and it's all wasted effort. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hello, yes? I'm the Dean of History. And scribe work, when I can find some quiet time. DA14AskAboutStaff0 My position, "Dean of History," actually covers a wide range of subjects. I teach poetry, writing, history, and the finer points of court life. DA14AskAboutStaff0 What a fascinating time to be alive! Mark me, these days will be remembered long after we're gone. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you love history, you're in the right place. Skyrim is steeped in it. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I wish only to graduate and enroll with the Legion. My drums will lead our troops to victory. DA14AskAboutStaff0 It's an honor to have Viarmo for instruction on drum, but he's far too reserved for my tastes. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Viarmo is too concerned with precision. What of instinct? Hmm? What of passion? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Lisette's a fine lass, but when I join the Legion, she's not the type to wait for my return. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Lady Ateia says my voice is second only to hers. But she's selling me short. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Few can resist my charms. Even fewer are worthy of them. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I can't understand why Jorn would want to join the Imperial Legion. Soldiers only appreciate one thing, and it isn't music. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You're new here, right? Welcome to the Bards College. It's like a... musical museum. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Dean Inge says a bard can never have enough practice. So, would you like a tune? DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'm so glad you got back from Olaf's Tomb okay. They gave you a tougher task then they gave me. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You know, I don't get the impression that I'm very well liked at the College... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Thane Bryling, at your service. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I can always find time to share a word with a warrior. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Many condemn the Stormcloaks, but I refuse. There is honor in fighting for what you believe. DA14AskAboutStaff0 This godsforsaken war is dividing our people and destroying our land. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Unless we have specific business, I'm not interested. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I think Bryling's the one you want to talk to. I'm mostly just here to scare away the riff raff. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You don't want to talk to me. I'm just a stand in for a dead Thane. DA14AskAboutStaff0 When I was a young rascal, I broke a man's arm with a single punch. Course, I had a horseshoe hidden in my glove... DA14AskAboutStaff0 The Imperials are good for business, and business is good for Skyrim. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Bryling's obsession with honor and tradition is quaint, but politically irrelevant. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I understand what's best for Solitude... and Jarl Elisif knows it. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Half of the businesses in town owe me money, and I own most of the rest. I practically run Solitude already. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Please address all questions to the Steward, Falk Firebeard. DA14AskAboutStaff0 My duty is to keep the Jarl safe. Not play nursemaid to you sycophants. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Keep your weapon out of your hands, and we'll get along just fine. DA14AskAboutStaff0 The Jarl has advised me not to talk about which court attendants I'd like to punch in the face. More's the pity. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hello. I'm Gisli. But you can just call me Erikur's sister. Everyone does. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Welcome to the center of the world. Or at least my brother Erikur's world... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Have you met my dear brother Erikur? The man's as trustworthy as a Khajiit goldmonger. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Quickly, if you please. I'm quite busy running errands for my bastard of a brother... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Speak if you must, but mind your tongue. I do not suffer fools gladly. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Working for Erikur may be below my stature, but the compensation is... acceptable. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You look like you could do with a ripe apple. Or a tomato, cabbage or leek? DA14AskAboutStaff0 An apple to keep you healthy? A tomato to keep you strong? Surely you need one or the other... DA14AskAboutStaff0 You get around, right? If you come across any Stormcloaks... gut one for me. They did the same to my brother in Whiterun. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Mind yourself in my city, friend. This here axe in full swing is a right terrible sight... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Mind yourself in my city, lass. This here axe in full swing is a right terrible sight... DA14AskAboutStaff0 You stay out of trouble, now. The Castle Dour dungeon can break even the strongest will. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Not much work being a jailor. Long as you can ignore the pleading and all that. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Ain't many visitors come to the dungeon. Every now and then Sybille Stentor will come by looking for... volunteers. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you have business, please see Falk Firebeard, my steward. DA14AskAboutStaff0 With the passing of my dear husband Torygg, the weighty position of Jarl has fallen to me. Please direct questions to my Steward. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Ulfric is a fool and a coward, who naively believes he can bring about peace through warfare. It's rather sad, really. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Thanks to Ulfric's rebellion, countless innocent people can't feed or clothe their families. It's unacceptably tragic. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Do you have business with the court? DA14AskAboutStaff0 I am the Jarl's Steward. If you have court business to tend to, you talk to me. DA14AskAboutStaff0 The Jarl is not to be disturbed with common affairs of court. You direct those concerns to me. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Just arrive in the city? Is it true what they say, then? There are dragons about? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Think I'll forge me a new sword, just in case things go awry here in Solitude. I'm the blacksmith's apprentice, you see. DA14AskAboutStaff0 We've got strong swords and sturdy armor, if you're looking to buy. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Apprentice blacksmith, at your service. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Blacksmith, at your service. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Be quick. I have little patience for mundane concerns. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I have so very many ways to deal with people. Very few of them pleasant. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You're trying my patience. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Surely you have something better to do... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Jarls come and jarls go, but a good cook stays for a lifetime. And I'm a very, very good cook. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Everyone knows General Tullius wields the real power Solitude. Elisif? Ah, she's a figurehead. A puppet. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Folks at court won't admit it, but Sybille Stentor scares us all to death. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Somethin' just ain't right about that Sybille. You know, I've never seen her eat a thing? That can't be natural. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Most of the time, people just forget I'm even here. That's why I hear so much good gossip. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Oh, hello! Just tidying up. DA14AskAboutStaff0 So exciting when new folk come into town. I bet you've had plenty of adventures. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Someday, a gallant hero will ride up and take me away. Someday... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Someday, I'll be a gallant heroine. You make it look so.. appealing. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Are you my gallant hero? Have you come to whisk me away, to a life of adventure and romance? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Maybe you need a partner? Hmm? Just picture it. Two women, the dusty road, strapping men at every tavern, a fortune in gold to be claimed... DA14AskAboutStaff0 I made a wish in the town well that a golden knight came to take me to his castle. Oh, does it spoil the wish if I tell? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Watch your feet. We just cleaned there! DA14AskAboutStaff0 Got lots of things to take care of. What do you need? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hello, my child. Arkay watch over you. DA14AskAboutStaff0 May Arkay bless you with a long life, a proud death, and a restful grave. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Hello and welcome, my friend. How may I help you on this fine day? DA14AskAboutStaff0 True, I may look the part of dashing swordsman, but I prefer the art of wit to that of warfare. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Your typical Solitude wench is like the city itself. Stormy exterior, but ah the charms that lie within... DA14AskAboutStaff0 A sharp mind beats a sharp blade any day. Words to live by. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Ah, yet another new face. I'm from Hammerfell, you see. I can hardly keep track of all the people I've been meeting. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Always good to see a fellow traveler. I hope you've found the roads relatively safe. Free from dragons, at the very least... DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you're looking for any archery or fletching supplies, you should see Fihada. I'm just the apprentice. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Fletching suits me. It's difficult, and sometimes tedious. But a well made arrow strikes forth like the fury of a god. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You here for my next interrogation? I got nothing but time... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Leave me be, Imperial. I haven't got anything to say to you. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Don't think I don't know what's coming. DA14AskAboutStaff0 It's only a matter of time before Ahtar's blade finds my neck... DA14AskAboutStaff0 You got business at the stables? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Work hard for the future and leave the past be. That's my motto. DA14AskAboutStaff0 With a wife like Fridrika and a son like Horm, I'm the luckiest man in Skyrim. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You wouldn't know it, but before my family got killed? I was the luckiest man in Skyrim. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Is this about the stables? My husband, Geimund, handles the business. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Is this about the stables? With my husband gone, my son Horm handles the business. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I really don't mean to be rude, but I don't think there's much I can help you with. DA14AskAboutStaff0 My family's weathered its share of problems, but we don't dwell on the past. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Looking for a horse? You'll want to talk to my father, Geimund. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Need a horse? I guess I'm the one to talk to, since my da passed... DA14AskAboutStaff0 I grew up tending some of these horses. They're almost family. DA14AskAboutStaff0 When I was a boy, there was a year we couldn't afford enough feed. So I snuck my dinner out to the stables, and gave it to the horse. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Come in, come in! I was just about to take a break. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Living outside the walls is a risk, aye. But at least the guards don't come nosin' around. DA14AskAboutStaff0 We had some trouble, while back. Stormcloak tried to set the mill on fire. But we sorted her out. DA14AskAboutStaff0 What do you want? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Out here at work, Hjorunn treats me like an equal. Better than most in town. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Any day is a good one, long as I don't have to go into town. But some days, Hjorunn's too drunk... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Any day is a good one, long as I don't have to go into town. But with Hjorunn gone... DA14AskAboutStaff0 My duty is simple - oversee the Thalmor Justiciars, and make sure they perform their duties admirably. DA14AskAboutStaff0 The Empire, in its wisdom, has come to recognize Talos worship as a barbaric remnant of a bygone age. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Talos was a heroic man, but not a god. It pains the Altmer that we must remind our younger cousins of the difference. DA14AskAboutStaff0 We only want what is best for Tamriel. Surely, the rebels will accept peace when they realize this. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I could swear I've seen you somewhere before... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Can I help you? DA14AskAboutStaff0 My husband handles the indoor work. Just as well - he'd only hurt himself out here. DA14AskAboutStaff0 It's hard work keeping Solitude fed, but I wouldn't trust any other family to do it. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Oh, hello. Have a seat, will you? DA14AskAboutStaff0 I was a much younger man when I married Katla. Now I can hardly keep up with her. DA14AskAboutStaff0 My brothers would have been appalled to see a man outdone by his wife, but not me. Without Katla, this farm would fall apart. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You're a guest. And father says we have to be polite to guests. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Mama said I could help with the goats! DA14AskAboutStaff0 Father says I don't have the knack for reading, but mama says I won't need it to work the farm. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Good day to you. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Do you have business with the East Empire Company? DA14AskAboutStaff0 I will thank you not to interrupt me in my tasks. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You'd better have a damned good reason for being here... DA14AskAboutStaff0 It takes a brave soul to wander onto my deck. It'll take more than that to leave in one piece. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I'd say you're either brave or stupid, but I can already tell which one it is. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You must have a death wish. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You reek. A little friendly advice - take a bath and get some new clothes. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Whatever you're about to say, don't bother. I don't want to hear it. DA14AskAboutStaff0 What hole did you crawl out of? DA14AskAboutStaff0 Out of my way, or I'll cut you. Deep. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I've only been a part of the Red Wave's crew for a few weeks, but I've already learned to stay out of Captain Safia's way. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Forget wine, women and wealth - give me a calm sea and a good book, and I'm happy. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I hear Adonato Leotelli's staying up in Windhelm. I've read a few of his works. Be good to meet him someday. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Don't misunderstand me, friend. I like my quiet, and I like to read. But you trifle with my ship, my crew, or my captain? I will kill you. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You've not seen the night sky until you've seen it on the open sea. DA14AskAboutStaff0 My father was all the family I ever had. I felt so lost when he died. But the crew of the Red Wave's my family now. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I've seen some truly wondrous sights since I took to the seas. I had no idea a man could die in so many ways... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Just yesterday, I saw a musician in the street playing a flute. It was... beautiful. I want that flute. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Dorian is helping me perfect my fencing, but I don't think I'll ever be as good as he is. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You've found the Bards College kitchen. Congratulations. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Meals are served to Bards at designated times. Find an inn if you want to make requests. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You look a little sturdier than most of the Popinjays around here. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I once captained a ship called the Argent Raptor. She struck an iceberg and went down, just north of Windhelm. DA14AskAboutStaff0 My shipmates scoff at my love of finery, but I know envy when I hear it. DA14AskAboutStaff0 From ship's captain to lowly crewman... I suppose I deserve it after wasting all my coin on gambling and women. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I hail from Cyrodiil, but after a... misunderstanding with the law, I needed a swift change of scenery. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If it's arms or armor you need, see Beirand in Castle Dour. Bloody good blacksmith, that one. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you need potions, head over to Angeline's Aromatics. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You can sell off that junk at Bits and Pieces. DA14AskAboutStaff0 The Winking Skeever's got warm beds and cold mead. You look like you could use both. DA14AskAboutStaff0 I don't abide fancy clothes, but you look like you might. I hear Radiant Raiments has a large selection. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Off the coast a ways to the east, you'll find the wreck of the Brinehammer. Never know what treasures may still be aboard. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You heard of Ravenscar Hollow? Cave on the island to the west. Place is a roost for those foul Hagravens. DA14AskAboutStaff0 If you must venture southwest, stay clear of Volskygge. It is a cursed place, a tomb where the dead still live... DA14AskAboutStaff0 The road to Whiterun's not safe these days. Lots of travelers just... disappear, south of Dragon Bridge. Can't find a trace of them. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Pinemoon Cave is down to the southwest, but it ain't fit for exploring. There are stories... Vampires, some say... DA14AskAboutStaff0 Been up to the Blue Palace? It's a sight to see. Even if it is filled with fops... DA14AskAboutStaff0 We couldn't have taken this city without you, sir. DA14AskAboutStaff0 We couldn't have taken this city without you, ma'am. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Everything's in order. DA14AskAboutStaff0 Solitude is as glorious as they said it was. Nothing like Falkreath where I grew up. DA14AskAboutStaff0 We have to go through town and across the bridge to get to Bleak Falls Barrow. DA14AskAboutStaff0 You can see it from here, though. The mountain just over the buildings. DA14AskAboutStaffBribeTopic Fine, but I'll still be missing my Gleda. Doubt I'll ever have a prize winning goat again. DA14AskAboutStaffBribeTopic Most of what you said was gibberish but you left a note. The only bit I could read was "after repaying Ysolda in Whiterun." DA14AskAboutStaffBribeTopic There's not enough money in the world to replace Gleda. DA14AskAboutStaffIntimidateTopic Okay, okay. Most of what you said didn't make sense but you left a note. The only bit that I could read said "after repaying Ysolda in Whiterun." DA14AskAboutStaffIntimidateTopic That's all I know. DA14AskAboutStaffIntimidateTopic Do what you have to do, I'm not giving up on Gleda. DA14AskAboutStaffPersuadeTopic I suppose that makes sense. You didn't mention a Sam and nothing you said about the staff made sense. DA14AskAboutStaffPersuadeTopic You left a note but it was mostly gibberish, the only bit I could make out was "after repaying Ysolda in Whiterun." DA14AskAboutStaffPersuadeTopic You didn't seem to need either to sell Gleda to the Giant in the first place. I think you'll figure it out. DA14AskAboutStaffTaskCompleteTopic You said a whole lot of nonsense about selling Gleda to hire a priestess for some big event. DA14AskAboutStaffTaskCompleteTopic There was a bit of talk about some staff you had in safe keeping. Never said where, but you sure didn't have it with you! DA14BribeTopic That amount should allow me to readily acquire a drink. DA14EnnisForcegreet0 You! You've got a lot of nerve showing yourself in this town again. What do you have to say for yourself? DA14EnnisForcegreet0 If you had to kill your own brother to be allowed back home, you'd think twice as well. DA14EnnisForcegreet0 Don't tell me you, of all people, are afraid of a battle. DA14EnnisForcegreet0 I would need to challenge the chief, and take his head, to return home. I'd rather stay here. DA14EnnisForcegreet1A Sorry's not good enough! Not while my Gleda is still out there, alone and afraid. You kidnapped her and sold her to that Giant. DA14EnnisForcegreet1B Is that so? Does the name Gleda ring a bell? The star beauty of my farm? Kidnapped by a drunk lout and sold to a Giant? DA14EnnisForcegreet1B You'd better remember her right fast, before I call the guards and have you hauled away. DA14EnnisForcegreet2 You're damned right it does. I'll never breed another prize-winning goat like Gleda! DA14EnnisForcegreet2 And don't you think of coming back to Rorikstead until you get her back from that Giant. DA14EnnisInfo0 You really don't remember stealing a goat and selling her to a Giant? Are you thick? DA14EnnisInfo0 Go get her! At least she's bound to follow you back - you smell just like the fermented feed she likes. DA14GiantAttackDialogue You cannot eat Gleda! Gleda is protected by Grok! DA14HagravenForcegreetTopic Darling! I've been waiting for you to return, to consummate our love! DA14HagravenReplyTopic What? You want it for that hussy Esmerelda, with the dark feathers - don't you? I won't let her have you! DA14HagravenWalkAwayTopic We're not done talking. You fell for that hussy Esmerelda, with the dark feathers - didn't you? I won't let her have you! DA14IntimidateTopic You should try that bit on the barkeep. Maybe get yourself a free drink. DA14IntroTopic2 I see. So you don't remember fondling the statuary, then? DA14IntroTopic3 Yes, your head hurts and you don't remember where you are. DA14PriestessApology0 I suppose that'll do. Dibella teaches us forgiveness, after all. Even for a drunk like you. DA14PriestessApology1 You were ranting when you got here but most of it was slurred. You did say something about Rorikstead . Maybe you should take a look there. DA14PriestessBribeTopic Well, we can always use contributions. DA14PriestessBribeTopic You were ranting when you got here but most of it was slurred. You did say something about Rorikstead . Maybe you should take a look there. DA14PriestessBribeTopic Oh you must be nobility of some sort. Running around partying and paying others to clean it up. DA14PriestessBribeTopic I don't think so. Clean up your own mess. DA14PriestessExplanationTopic Which means you don't remember losing your temper and throwing trash all over the temple. DA14PriestessExplanationTopic I'll return my ancestors to Sovngarde, and you with them! DA14PriestessExplanationTopic Sovngarde is a myth, you s'wit! And now you can join your ancestors in service to me! DA14PriestessExplanationTopic The dead should be made to serve the living, not the other way around! DA14PriestessExplanationTopic I'm guessing you also don't remember coming in here and blathering incoherently about marriage or a goat. DA14PriestessHelp0 Dibella teaches love and compassion, but that doesn't mean we're just going to tell you what you want to know and let you walk away from this. DA14PriestessHelp0 Pick up your mess, then apologize, and if we think you're sincere we'll consider lending you aid. DA14PriestessIntroTopic Of course! You don't remember getting here. DA14PriestessIntroTopic They can't hurt uncle Roggvir. Tell them he didn't do it. DA14PriestessPersuadeTopic Well, you were deep in your cups when you got here. DA14PriestessPersuadeTopic You were ranting but most of it was slurred. You said something about Rorikstead. DA14PriestessPersuadeTopic Oh, I'd love to help you figure it out, but I'm so busy cleaning up the mess you made of our temple... DA14PriestessPersuadeTopic Now if you were to help tidy up and perhaps apologize afterwards... I might be able to help you. DA14PriestessSetup0 Wake up! DA14PriestessSetup0 That's right, it's time to wake up, you drunken blasphemer! DA14QuestStart0 What did I do? Please, whatever it is, I'm sorry. DA14QuestStart0 I don't have time for this nonsense. I've got a home to keep and children to feed. Now let me out of here! DA14QuestStart0 Tell you what. You release me, and I promise my associates won't hunt you down like an animal and butcher you in the street. It's a win-win. DA14RemakeStaffYES My pleasure. But I think it's time for you to go. No fun keeping you locked up in here with the staff. DA14SammyMeet0 You're here! I was beginning to think you might not make it. DA14SammyMeet0 Milk drinker. DA14SammyMeet1Topic I thought you might not remember your first trip here. You had a big night. I think you've definitely earned the staff. DA14SammyMeet2Topic Oh, the Hagraven feather and so on. You can throw all those out. You see... DA14SammyReturnBranch0 Gleda! And not a scratch on her! Happy day! DA14SammyReturnBranch0 I still can't figure out why you stole her. You left a note explaining it, but half of it was gibberish and the rest had mead spilled on it. DA14SammyReturnBranch0 Only bit I could make out was "repaying Ysolda in Whiterun," and even that's mostly scribbles. Guess you could try there. DA14SanguineForcegreet0 I really just needed something to encourage you to go out into the world and spread merriment. DA14SanguineForcegreet0 And you did just that! I haven't been so entertained in at least a hundred years. DA14SanguineMeet2Topic Details, details. The Sanguine Rose breaks all the time and is fixed with but a thought. DA14SanguineMeet2Topic In fact, here it is now. Think of it - a never-ending stream of minions. And all of the prestige of being Sanguine's chosen. DA14SanguineReveal2Topic I am Sanguine, Daedric Prince of Debauchery! DA14SanguineReveal2Topic I know, I know, how could I lie to you? Well, how could I trust you until we've shared a few drinks? DA14SanguineReveal2Topic But it wasn't long before I realized you'd make a more interesting bearer of my not-quite-holy staff than this waste of flesh. DA14SanguineWho0 Just a prank? Just a prank? The Daedric Lord of Debauchery does not deal in mere "pranks." DA14SanguineWho0 This may have begun as a minor amusement, but it wasn't long before I realized you'd make a more interesting bearer of my not-quite-holy staff. DA14StartDrinkingContestHelloTopic You look like someone who can hold their liquor. How about a friendly contest to win a staff? DA14StartDrinkingContestRefusalTopic Well come back when you do, my friend. Come back when you do. DA14StartDrinkingContestTopicTopic Ha! We'll see about that. This is a special brew, very strong stuff. Let's get started. DA14StartPostDrink1ContinueTopic One down, my friend. One down. DA14StartPostDrink1RefusalTopic Sorry to hear that. DA14StartPostDrink1Topic Your turn! DA14StartPostDrink1Topic I'll start round one. Down the hatch! DA14StartPostDrink2ContinueTopic So says you. I think I've hit my limit on these things. Tell you what, one more and you win the contest. DA14StartPostDrink2RefusalTopic Awww, well, maybe next time. DA14StartPostDrink2Topic And how about you? DA14StartPostDrink2Topic And another one for me. DA14StartPostDrink3Finale You know, you're a fun person to drink with. I know this great little place where the wine flows like water. We should head there. DA14StartPostDrink3Finale Hey, you don't look so good... DA14StartPostDrink3topic Wow. You've really done it. The staff is yours. DA14WhyMe0 Let's be honest, here. I don't always think my decisions through. But you... you're going places. DA14WhyMe0 Maybe a little influence from your old uncle Sanguine could help adjust your course a bit... DA14YMeet0 So, you're finally back. Look, I've been patient, but you still owe me. DA14YMeet1A It's not about the money, really. I wouldn't have given you the wedding ring on credit if you weren't so obviously in love. DA14YMeet1A But if there isn't going to be a wedding, the least you can do is give the ring back. That was one of my best pieces. DA14YMeet1B Aw, what's wrong? Did the engagement fall through? Look, how about we call it even, as long as you bring back the wedding ring? DA14YMeet1B That's really a shame - I was so looking forward to the wedding. You said you'd have all the most interesting guests. DA14YsoldaBribeTopic Decided to go through with it then? I knew you couldn't have forgotten about your fiance. You spoke of her so glowingly. DA14YsoldaBribeTopic I don't know much about Morvunskar but it sounded like a lovely place for the ceremony. Congratulations. DA14YsoldaBribeTopic I think I would prefer my ring back. I put a lot of time into making it and you just gave is away as a joke. DA14YsoldaInfo0 How could you forget? It was the sweetest story I'd ever heard. DA14YsoldaInfo0 You met at the full moon, under the biggest tree in Witchmist Grove, surrounded by fireflies. It was straight out of a storybook. DA14YsoldaIntimidateTopic All right, all right. You're mean when you're sober. DA14YsoldaIntimidateTopic You said you the ceremony was going to be in Morvunskar. You said your friend Sam was going to be your best man. DA14YsoldaIntimidateTopic You think you can bully me. I grew up with five brothers. Go... get...my...ring. DA14YsoldaMeet2BranchTopic You went right out to give it to your fiancee! Don't you even remember where you left her? DA14YsoldaMeet2BranchTopic And after you told me that sweet story of how you met in Witchmist Grove! I can see why she left you. DA14YsoldaMeet2BranchTopic You went right out to give it to your fiancee! Don't you even remember where you left him? DA14YsoldaMeet2BranchTopic And after you told me that sweet story of how you met in Witchmist Grove! I can see why he left you. DA14YsoldaPersuadeTopic You must have had a wild night if you can't remember that. DA14YsoldaPersuadeTopic But I suppose everyone gets the jitters before their wedding. And I did say you could take a bit of time paying me back. DA14YsoldaPersuadeTopic You said the ceremony was going to be at Morvunskar. Don't forget you still owe me! DA14YsoldaPersuadeTopic I'm sure your bride-to-be will tell you when you where the ceremony will be. DA14YsoldaPersuadeTopic If she still wants to marry you when you tell her you can't afford the ring. DA14YsoldaReturn0 Excellent! Sorry it didn't work out with you and your lady. I know how excited you were for the wedding. DA14YsoldaReturn0 You kept saying it would be a huge ceremony at Morvunskar. You said you even had some magic staff there that would handle all the guests. DA15AboutMasterTopic He is a great man, but one rarely praised! He rules twin empires that span the length and breadth of our minds! All know him, but few can name him! DA15AboutMasterTopic But... he has forbidden me from saying his name. He says it distracts him, and woe to those who draw his ire. DA15AboutMasterTopic But you will know him when you see him. He's the one who made me like this! DA15AboutQuest0 My master has abandoned me! Abandoned his people. And nothing I say can change his mind. DA15AboutQuest0 Now he refuses to even see me. He says I interrupt his vacation! It's been so many years... Won't you please help? DA15AboutQuest0 Without his guidance, our homeland is falling apart. North wages war against south! The holy flame flickers and dies! We need his return. DA15AboutQuest0 Oh, but... I'm sure he'll repay you when he comes to his senses! His favor is a powerful, powerful thing. And so very worth any... inconveniences. DA15Convince I'll make an exception for you, but do not bring anything out when you leave. Too many dark deeds transpired in those halls... DA15Convince Well... I suppose in that case, it's okay to let you in. But only briefly. Be careful, and come right back! DA15Convince If you really want to... Just be careful of the ghost! He snuck up on me once and scared me sick. It took a week for me to feel better... DA15DerveninAbout1B Oh, you just don't understand. Without him, I am not free! Without him, I am doomed! All of his empire shall fall into chaos... DA15DerveninAboutQuest1 Last I saw him, he was visiting a friend in the Blue Palace. But no one as mundane as the Jarl. No, no... such people are below him. DA15DerveninAboutQuest1 No, he went into the forbidden wing of the palace, to speak with an old friend. Said it had been ages since they had last had tea. DA15DerveninAboutQuest1 Oh and you'll need the hip bone... it's very important. No entering Pelagius' Wing without that. DA15DerveninStart0 You! You'll help me! You help people, right? That's what you do? DA15Explain0 Emperor Pelagius III. DA15Explain0 Now surely even you know about Pelagius' decree? On his deathbed - oh, and this was inspired - he forbade... death! That's right! Death! Outlawed! DA15HowToReachMaster He stays in the Pelagius Wing of the Blue Palace. The doors are locked, and only Falk Firebeard can grant entry. DA15HowToReachMaster But I hear the maids, Una and Erdi, know how to enter it for cleaning. Surely they can help for such an important matter? DA15ParanoiaObjectiveTopic Oh, this is going to be fun. You've got to use your Wabbajack to defeat the enemy while - get this - they use their Wabbajack to defeat you! DA15ParanoiaObjectiveTopic That's a true Reachman. Hope he heads to Markarth to take out some of those Nords. DA15ParanoiaObjectiveTopic ...hear he's decided to let the Hags turn him into a Briarheart. DA15ParanoiaObjectiveTopic ...rise from death, Blood of our Blood. DA15ParanoiaObjectiveTopic ...rise from death, Blood of our Blood. DA15ParanoiaObjectiveTopic Heart of thorn... bones of the wild... in life, Forsworn... DA15QuestStart Yes, but don't try to use force! He's far too mighty. He'd crush you like a clay doll, or drop you from the sky, or simply eat your brain right up! DA15QuestStart Oh, but he probably won't do those things to you. Probably. Just remind him to come home, and... there'll be no fighting or unpleasantness. Probably. DA15QuestStart He's just a little confused at the moment, is all. Knowing my master, he may very well reward you for bringing him to his senses! DA15QuestStart Yes, yes, go. Leave me to my ceaseless responsibilities and burdens... DA15RumorBranchTopic People say there's a man wandering the streets near the Blue Palace. He seems distressed but he's not making any sense. DA15SheoChallenge0 Now that's the real question, isn't it? Because honestly, how much time off could a demented Daedra really need? DA15SheoChallenge0 So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to leave. That's right. I'm done. Holiday... complete. Time to return to the hum drum day-to-day. DA15SheoChallenge0 On one condition. DA15SheoChallenge0 You have to find the way out first. Good luck with that. DA15SheoChallenge2A Is it? DA15SheoChallenge2A It's too bad they executed Roggvir before we got here. DA15SheoChallenge2A They say Helgen got hit by a dragon. One of those horrors comes here, we'll be ready. DA15SheoChallenge2A Brigands I can handle, but this talk of dragons? World's gone mad, I say. DA15SheoChallenge2A The Greybeards have summoned the Dragonborn to High Hrothgar. Such a thing has not happened for... hundreds of years. DA15SheoChallenge2A There was a fight down in the Ratway, but reports are... sketchy. Some say it was Thalmor Agents, others say Thieves Guild. Some say it was both. DA15SheoChallenge2A Word is Elenwen's furious. Big party at the Thalmor Embassy, and one of the guests went someplace they shouldn't. Caused quite a commotion. DA15SheoChallenge2A Have you heard? There's been another dragon attack. Kynesgrove, this time. DA15SheoChallenge2A What could it mean? The return of the Dragonborn? And who among us could possibly hold that honor? And such power? DA15SheoChallenge2A By the gods, it's true, isn't it? A dragon has attacked Whiterun. How could mere men bring down such a beast? DA15SheoChallenge2A By Ysmir, you did it. You killed a dragon. DA15SheoChallenge2A There's been talk amongst the guards. That you are... Dragonborn. But such a thing... Surely that's not possible... DA15SheoChallenge2A The guards in Dragonsreach say you've aided the Jarl. On behalf of Whiterun, I thank you. DA15SheoChallenge2A I've seen you helping the Jarl. If only all visitors to Whiterun were as noble. DA15SheoChallenge2A It was you convinced the Jarl to trap that dragon in the keep. And by Ysmir, it actually worked. DA15SheoChallenge2A There's a dragon. Here. In Dragonsreach. And I thought it was just a name. DA15SheoChallenge2A We had that beast contained. And you released it! Why? Why would you do such a thing? DA15SheoChallenge2A Is it true what they say? There was a dragon held captive in Whiterun, and you... you released it? By the gods, man, why? DA15SheoChallenge2A Is it true what they say? There was a dragon held captive in Whiterun, and you... you released it? By the gods, woman, why? DA15SheoChallenge2A The Greybeards have arranged a truce between the Stormcloaks and Imperials. How long can such a thing last? DA15SheoChallenge2A The Greybeards have called a peace council, at High Hrothgar. And can you believe it - both Ulfric Stormcloak and General Tullius have agreed to go. DA15SheoChallenge2A Word is spreading like magefire! The great evil has been vanquished! You have truly saved us all! DA15SheoChallenge2A All hail the Dragonborn! DA15SheoChallenge2A In the ancient tongue, you are Dovahkiin - Dragonborn! DA15SheoChallenge2A You! You're the one who wiped out the Dark Brotherhood! All the guards are talking about it... You're a hero to us all! DA15SheoChallenge2A You hear the news? The Emperor has been murdered! Right here, in Skyrim. By the gods, if the Dark Brotherhood can do that, nobody's safe... DA15SheoChallenge2A By the gods. The Emperor's been murdered. On his own ship... moored in the inlet. It was... the Dark Brotherhood. There was nothing we could do... DA15SheoChallenge2A That old woman who runs the orphanage has been murdered. Say, didn't I see you coming out of there...? DA15SheoChallenge2A Been a murder, over in Riften. Some old lady who runs an orphanage. Those poor children must be heartbroken. DA15SheoChallenge2A Hey! You're the one who killed Alain Dufont, up in Raldbthar. Oh yeah, word about that got around. Man was a piece of bandit trash, is what I hear. DA15SheoChallenge2A The Emperor's cousin, killed. Right here in Solitude. I feel nothing but shame... DA15SheoChallenge2A The cousin of the Emperor was murdered! In Solitude, at her own damn wedding. Not a chance we would have let that happen here. DA15SheoChallenge2A You didn't hear this from me, but we've uncovered a plot to kill the Emperor! It gets better. The ringleader? One of the Emperor's own elite guard... DA15SheoChallenge2A There was some ruckus over by that weird black door. You weren't involved in that craziness, were you? DA15SheoChallenge2A Been lots of people coming and going through that creepy black door. And noises... I'd say it sounds like construction, but that's crazy. Right? DA15SheoChallenge2A There are some that say the Dark Brotherhood is back, and stronger than ever. That they've made Dawnstar their home. Tell me - am I wrong? DA15SheoChallenge2A The guards have been saying things about you... That you're the one that... Well... They say the Dark Brotherhood... Well. Never mind. Sir. DA15SheoChallenge2A The guards have been saying things about you... That you're the one that... Well... They say the Dark Brotherhood... Well. Never mind. Ma'am. DA15SheoChallenge2A Wait, I know you. You went into the Emperor's Tower, just before... before his decoy was murdered... DA15SheoChallenge2A We just received word that somebody tried to kill the Emperor! Turned out to just be his double, but can you imagine if he had succeeded? DA15SheoChallenge2A They're saying the Dark Brotherhood has been destroyed. Wiped off the face off Tamriel. But that's not entirely true... is it? DA15SheoChallenge2A You're the one all the guards are talking about. You went into that Sanctuary... wiped out the Dark Brotherhood! Friend, I owe you a drink. DA15SheoChallenge2A The city's changed, friend. The Thieves Guild is on the rise... and they've got a firm foothold here in Whiterun. DA15SheoChallenge2A Maybe you haven't heard, but the Thieves Guild is back. Windhelm is their city now, if you catch my meaning... DA15SheoChallenge2A Markarth's a different place, now. Do business here, and you do business with the Thieves Guild. DA15SheoChallenge2A A change has swept into Solitude, like a breeze off the ocean - the Thieves Guild has come... DA15SheoChallenge2A Ain't no doubt about it. The Thieves Guild is back, and they've got Riften in their grip. DA15SheoChallenge2A Welcome to Riften, home of the Thieves Guild. Or so they'd have you believe. It's all lies. They're just thugs... vermin, creeping around the Ratway. DA15SheoChallenge2A The say the College has been snooping around Saarthal. Mages in a burial crypt. No good can come of that... DA15SheoChallenge2A Some are saying the Psijic Monks have been seen in Skyrim. They're an ancient order. I had 'em figured for dead. DA15SheoChallenge2A You hear the news? Those damn mages blew up Winterhold! Guess it was just a matter of time... DA15SheoChallenge2A Word is the College of Mages is back to normal. If there's such a thing for that lot. DA15SheoChallenge2A Your name's been cleared... by Thonar Silver-Blood. Consider yourself lucky. DA15SheoChallenge2A So Madanach was behind those murders. Gods help us. DA15SheoChallenge2A By Shor, is that... is that Azura's Star? How did you come to possess such a rare treasure? DA15SheoChallenge2A Who did you have to kill to get that blade? DA15SheoChallenge2A That is one... big hammer. DA15SheoChallenge2A That mace... get it away from me. Get it away... DA15SheoChallenge2A Your shield... Dwarf-make, is it not? But yet it seems so much... more. DA15SheoChallenge2A That hammer... Why that's Aegisbane, heirloom of Clan Shatter-Shield! Last I heard, it was stolen by a couple of swindlers. Alain and... Muiri. Yeah. DA15SheoChallenge2A What a foul and unnatural weapon you wield. Never have I seen its like. DA15SheoChallenge2A Ugh. Your breath is foul. What've you been eating? DA15SheoChallenge2A As if Skyrim didn't have enough outsiders. Now we've got mercenaries from Hammerfell struttin' about... DA15SheoChallenge2A From what I hear, you're the one gave the Thalmor a black eye. Sure know how to pick your enemies, don't you? DA15SheoChallenge2A You've come to Dawnstar at a strange time, friend. Seems everyone in the town is having nightmares... DA15SheoChallenge2A The damned nightmares have finally stopped. Don't suppose you'd know anything about that? DA15SheoChallenge2A You've been seen in the company of the Companions. That's an honorable path you're on, friend. DA15SheoChallenge2A I know of your deeds, and am honored to address a member of the Companions. DA15SheoChallenge2A Uch. Been tending your hounds? You smell like wet dog. DA15SheoChallenge2A Heard about what you did. Killing those foul witches. Well done, Companion. DA15SheoChallenge2A Kodlak killed, Jorrvaskr attacked. How could this happen, within the walls of Whiterun? DA15SheoChallenge2A I heard about the attack on Jorrvaskr, and the killing of your honored leader. You have my sympathies, Companion. DA15SheoChallenge2A Kodlak White-Mane has been laid to rest, I know. May his soul live forever in the halls of Sovngarde. DA15SheoChallenge2A You... you're the Harbinger. Of the Companions. It is my honor to stand before you. DA15SheoChallenge2A I hear the East Empire Company has reopened, thanks in no small part to you. Well done. All of Skyrim benefits from their trade. DA15SheoChallenge2A You did this city a great service by catching that killer. Well done. DA15SheoChallenge2A Good thing you did for Nurelion, retrieving that phial for him before he died. Man was obsessed. DA15SheoChallenge2A By Ysmir, you've helped save the Gildergreen. Words can't express what that means to this city. DA15SheoChallenge2A That sapling you recovered means the Gildergreen will live again. Your deed honors the people of Whiterun. DA15SheoChallenge2A You've actually done it. You've found the Sybil of Dibella. You have done Markarth a tremendous service. DA15SheoChallenge2A You... you were talking to that murderous savage. And then he escaped. What are you hiding? DA15SheoChallenge2A First Torygg and now Elisif. Damn those Stormcloaks. Let's hope that Erikur fares better than they did. DA15SheoChallenge2A Filthy she-hound Elisif got what she deserved. Let her serve as "High Queen" of Oblivion, for all I care. DA15SheoChallenge2A Solitude wouldn't be the same without the Fire Festival. City owes you a debt of gratitude. DA15SheoChallenge2A It's no secret the Aretino boy is doing some ritual, trying to call the Dark Brotherhood. But who's going to stop him? Me? I'll have no part of that. DA15SheoChallenge2A Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch the magic! DA15SheoChallenge2A Go cast your fancy magic someplace else. DA15SheoChallenge2A Guard might get nervous, a man approaches with his weapon drawn... DA15SheoChallenge2A Guard might get nervous, a woman approaches with her weapon drawn... DA15SheoChallenge2A Sheathe those claws, Khajiit... DA15SheoChallenge2A You come up to me, fists raised? You looking for a beating? DA15SheoChallenge2A Releasing a captured dragon. I don't think I'll ever understand that one... DA15SheoChallenge2A Whatever you need, Dragonborn. Just say the word. DA15SheoChallenge2A Yes, Dovahkiin? How can I help you? DA15SheoChallenge2A You have vanquished a great evil from Skyrim. You have saved this land... and our very souls. DA15SheoChallenge2A No matter what else happens, the guards will always be grateful for everything you've done. DA15SheoChallenge2A Looks like it's really happening. A peace council, attended by both Ulfric and Tullius, up on High Hrothgar. Maybe there's hope for Skyrim yet. DA15SheoChallenge2A This truce with the Stormcloaks won't last a fortnight. Bloody savages will kill us while we sleep. DA15SheoChallenge2A A truce? With the Imperials? They'll murder us all, first chance they get. DA15SheoChallenge2A I caught a glimpse of that captured dragon. It's.. beautiful. In its own way. DA15SheoChallenge2A Trapping a dragon in Dragonsreach. Damn clever idea you had, I have to admit. DA15SheoChallenge2A You have the Jarl's confidence, friend. And so you have mine. DA15SheoChallenge2A You couldn't possibly be the Dragonborn of legend. Could you? DA15SheoChallenge2A If we killed a dragon once, we can do it again. With your help, of course. DA15SheoChallenge2A If those Whiterun guards can take down a dragon, so can we. DA15SheoChallenge2A Got to thinking, maybe I'm the Dragonborn, and I just don't know it yet. DA15SheoChallenge2A For a dragon to attack Kynesgrove... Why? Why there? Is no place safe? DA15SheoChallenge2A If I'd been on guard at the Thalmor Embassy, wouldn't nobody be disturbing that party... DA15SheoChallenge2A Thalmor in the Ratway? What's next, Spriggans in the Bee and Barb? DA15SheoChallenge2A I have to wonder... what does the Dragonborn do once he's summoned by the Greybeards? Can the Thu'um be taught, like any skill? DA15SheoChallenge2A You know, I could have gone into that Sanctuary. Killed all those Dark Brotherhood types. But I was... sick that day. DA15SheoChallenge2A Helgen... destroyed by a dragon. Hard to believe, isn't it? DA15SheoChallenge2A I know who you are, assassin. I guess the rumors about your kind's "extinction" have been... exaggerated. DA15SheoChallenge2A So the Emperor had a decoy. Poor bastard got murdered, too. But then, I guess that was his job... DA15SheoChallenge2A Now, I know who you are. And... and I know your business... Just, please... These are good folk we got here. Mostly... DA15SheoChallenge2A It ain't true what they say about you and... and the Dark Brotherhood? Is it? DA15SheoChallenge2A There are stories about you, and dark tidings in Dawnstar... DA15SheoChallenge2A Seems the Emperor's coming to Skyrim... and one of his own protectors was going to have him assassinated. Can't trust anyone these days. DA15SheoChallenge2A I heard you were at the wedding of the Emperor's cousin. In Solitude? Gods, that must have been horrible... DA15SheoChallenge2A I heard you were at the wedding of the Emperor's cousin. In Solitude? Gods, that must have been horrible... DA15SheoChallenge2A Look, that Vici woman had a bodyguard. I know it's terrible she got murdered at her own wedding, but the city guard is hardly to blame... DA15SheoChallenge2A You ask me, those brats in the orphanage are better off, now that old Grelod is dead. DA15SheoChallenge2A The Emperor's cousin Vittoria Vici is getting married soon. The reception will be public - anyone in Solitude can attend. DA15SheoChallenge2A The Emperor of Skyrim. Dead. These are dark times, my friend. Dark times, indeed... DA15SheoChallenge2A We may guard Whiterun, but the Thieves Guild guards us. If you know what I mean. DA15SheoChallenge2A Shirking the law in Windhelm ain't what it used to be. Not with the Thieves Guild running things... DA15SheoChallenge2A Break the law here in Markarth, and maybe we can work something out. Courtesy of the Thieves Guild. DA15SheoChallenge2A You know, the law here in Solitude can be a bit... "flexible." So long as you've got the gold. That's the way the Thieves Guild likes it. DA15SheoChallenge2A Seeing as how Riften is home to the Thieves Guild, maybe we can work something out if you have trouble with the law. For the right price. DA15SheoChallenge2A The Thieves Guild used to run this city. Now they're nothing but braggarts and bullies, rotting to death down in their Ratway... DA15SheoChallenge2A What business do College mages have in a place like Saarthal, anyway? It's a place for Nord dead... not your weird experiments. DA15SheoChallenge2A One of the guards said he saw a mage appear out of thin air. Claimed it was one of those Psijic Monks. Man's been hitting the skooma, I say. DA15SheoChallenge2A Imagine, blowing up an entire town. Damn College... Winterhold will never be the same. DA15SheoChallenge2A You're that Mage from the College. Right? Hear things have finally calmed down over there. DA15SheoChallenge2A You put those Forsworn down. Good job. DA15SheoChallenge2A Gods damn those Forsworn. So many dead... DA15SheoChallenge2A You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They've got curved swords. Curved. Swords. DA15SheoChallenge2A Wonder what it's like for those Thalmor, now that they've been taken down a notch... DA15SheoChallenge2A The people here are still plagued with nightmares. It's... unnatural. DA15SheoChallenge2A No more nightmares. Thank the gods for that. DA15SheoChallenge2A Now I remember - you're that new member of the Companions. So you, what - fetch the mead? DA15SheoChallenge2A Honored Companion. How can I assist you? DA15SheoChallenge2A Is that... fur? Coming out of your ears? DA15SheoChallenge2A I'm telling you, I heard it. Howling. Those werewolf tales are true. DA15SheoChallenge2A I find your wolfish grin... unsettling. DA15SheoChallenge2A With respect, Companion, I'd ask that you and your friends muzzle that dog of yours. The howling coming from Jorrvaskr has gotten out of hand. DA15SheoChallenge2A If it isn't the slayer of the Glenmoril Witches. How can I assist you, Companion? DA15SheoChallenge2A Who would dare attack the leader of the Companions? In his own hall? There'll be blood for this, I know it. DA15SheoChallenge2A Kodlak White-Mane is in a better place now. For is there any place better than Sovngarde? DA15SheoChallenge2A Thanks again for helping reopen the East Empire Company. Gonna have them import me some of that aged Breton cheese. DA15SheoChallenge2A I was this close to catching that killer. I swear it. DA15SheoChallenge2A With Nurelion gone, I suppose Quintus has taken over business in the White Phial. DA15SheoChallenge2A The Gildergreen blooms again. All thanks to you. DA15SheoChallenge2A The Gildergreen will bloom again. All thanks to you. DA15SheoChallenge2A Thanks for clearing out that vampire nest. You saved Morthal. DA15SheoChallenge2A Wonder what kinds of things they've got the Dibella doing, over in the temple. Mostly praying, I reckon... DA15SheoChallenge2A I know you had some part in Sinding's escape. Don't deny it... DA15SheoChallenge2A We'll protect Erikur as best we're able, but I fear the throne of Solitude is cursed. DA15SheoChallenge2A It is whispered that one of the Daedric Princes himself is behind the murder of Elisif. It would seem even the nobility of Oblivion favors our cause. DA15SheoChallenge2A Watch the skies, traveler. DA15SheoChallenge2A Stay out of trouble, Argonian. DA15SheoChallenge2A What is it, Argonian? DA15SheoChallenge2A Stay out of trouble, lizard. DA15SheoChallenge2A Staying out of trouble, kinsman? DA15SheoChallenge2A How can I help a brother Nord? DA15SheoChallenge2A Stay out of trouble, Nord. DA15SheoChallenge2A Don't cross me, Elf. DA15SheoChallenge2A Stay out of trouble, Elf. DA15SheoChallenge2A What is it, Elf? DA15SheoChallenge2A Stay out of trouble, Khajiit. DA15SheoChallenge2A What is it, Khajiit? DA15SheoChallenge2A What do you want... cat? DA15SheoChallenge2A Stay out of trouble, Redguard. DA15SheoChallenge2A What is it, Redguard? DA15SheoChallenge2A Stay out of trouble, Imperial. DA15SheoChallenge2A What is it, Imperial? DA15SheoChallenge2A Stay out of trouble, Orc. DA15SheoChallenge2A What is it, Orc? DA15SheoChallenge2A Hail, Companion. DA15SheoChallenge2A You're that one from the College. Heard about you. DA15SheoChallenge2A So you can cast a few spells. Am I supposed to be impressed? DA15SheoChallenge2A Try to hide it all you want. I know you're in the Thieves Guild... and so do the other guards. DA15SheoChallenge2A Psst. Hey, I know who you are. Hail Sithis. DA15SheoChallenge2A Ugh. That armor stinks of death. You been grave robbing? DA15SheoChallenge2A Ah, now that's a fine shield. And not mere Dwarven... is it? DA15SheoChallenge2A What manner of staff is that? Such a horror... DA15SheoChallenge2A You wield... Azura's Star? How... how can such a thing be possible? DA15SheoChallenge2A Ah, Aegisbane. Sigil of Clan Shatter-Shield. But didn't that get stolen awhile back? Hmph. Must be rememberin' wrong. DA15SheoChallenge2A Fine armor you've got there. Dwarven make, am I right? DA15SheoChallenge2A Ebony armor. By Ysmir, 'tis a wondrous sight. DA15SheoChallenge2A Is your armor made of... dragon bones? By the gods, what I wouldn't do for a set of that. DA15SheoChallenge2A Is your armor made of... dragon scales? By the gods, what I wouldn't do for a set of that. DA15SheoChallenge2A Some advice, friend. That armor won't offer much protection in a real fight. DA15SheoChallenge2A You come talking to me wearing Imperial armor? You got stew for brains? DA15SheoChallenge2A That's some fine Imperial armor you've got there. DA15SheoChallenge2A Judging by your armor, I'd say you're an Imperial scout. If so, well met. DA15SheoChallenge2A For your sake, I hope your took that armor from a dead Imperial scout... DA15SheoChallenge2A You wear the armor of a mercenary. Now that's the life. DA15SheoChallenge2A That's good armor you've got there, friend. Iron, solid and true. DA15SheoChallenge2A Hmph. You wear that armor well. Iron may be simple, but it'll stop enough to keep you in the fight. DA15SheoChallenge2A Fancy the leather armor, huh? Something to be said for going light. DA15SheoChallenge2A That armor... it's like nothing I've ever seen. Like forged midnight... DA15SheoChallenge2A Orcish armor, hmm? Had me a set of that once. Ugly and strong, like those that forged it. DA15SheoChallenge2A That armor... Are you one of the Emperor's protectors? Can't say I envy you that job. DA15SheoChallenge2A That armor... Are you one of the Emperor's protectors? Not very good at your job, are you? DA15SheoChallenge2A That's fine scale armor you've got on there. Shiny. DA15SheoChallenge2A Aye, now that's some fine armor. Good old-fashioned steel. DA15SheoChallenge2A Ah, steel plate. Now that's a solid choice of armor. DA15SheoChallenge2A What do you aim to do with that hammer, friend? Knock down a house? DA15SheoChallenge2A No.. get that accursed mace away from me... DA15SheoChallenge2A You wear the armor of the bear, my friend. A fine choice. DA15SheoChallenge2A You dare strut around here, wearing that filthy Stormcloak hide? DA15SheoChallenge2A That Stormcloak armor's getting on my nerves... DA15SheoChallenge2A You wear that Stormcloak armor well, friend. DA15SheoChallenge2A You wear the armor of a brigand. Best not cause any trouble on my watch. DA15SheoChallenge2A I know Thieves Guild armor when I see it. You're not fooling anyone. DA15SheoChallenge2A You wear the garb of a true Nord. I salute you. DA15SheoChallenge2A Pigsticker like that's not going to get you far. Best visit the blacksmith. DA15SheoChallenge2A That iron sword's pretty undependable. You should try steel. DA15SheoChallenge2A Iron sword, huh? What are you killing, butterflies? DA15SheoChallenge2A Aye, now that there's a beautiful sword. Like a sliver of midnight. DA15SheoChallenge2A Why the Elven blade, hmm? Nord steel not good enough for you? DA15SheoChallenge2A Favor a steel sword, do ya? Good choice for slashing or stabbing. DA15SheoChallenge2A I've a lot of respect for the Restoration School. Skyrim could use more healers. DA15SheoChallenge2A Lightly armored means light on your feet. Smart. DA15SheoChallenge2A Hey, you mix potions, right? Can you brew me an ale? DA15SheoChallenge2A Hands to yourself, sneak thief. DA15SheoChallenge2A I find your hand in my pocket, I'm going to cut it off. DA15SheoChallenge2A I know your kind, always sneaking about. DA15SheoChallenge2A Go fiddling with any locks around here, we're going to have a real problem. DA15SheoChallenge2A Fancy yourself an alchemist, hmm? Never could get the hang of that. DA15SheoChallenge2A You're the one casts those illusions. Impressive. DA15SheoChallenge2A Don't think you can barter with me like I'm one of those damned shopkeepers. DA15SheoChallenge2A Best offense is a good defense, am I right? DA15SheoChallenge2A Don't suppose you'd enchant my sword? Dull old blade can barely cut butter. DA15SheoChallenge2A Heard about you and your honeyed words... DA15SheoChallenge2A Hail, summoner. Conjure me up a warm bed, would you? DA15SheoChallenge2A Destruction magic's fine, just don't go burning down any buildings. DA15SheoChallenge2A Takes a fair bit of strength to carry a greatsword like that. But can you use it? DA15SheoChallenge2A Keep your arrows in their quiver, archer. DA15SheoChallenge2A Favor the bow, eh? I'm a sword man, myself. DA15SheoChallenge2A The gods gave you two hands, and you use them both for your weapon. I can respect that. DA15SheoChallenge2A You're like me, eh? Don't fancy those clunky two-handed weapons. DA15SheoChallenge2A No lollygaggin'. DA15SheoChallenge2A I heard the Gourmet is hiding out somewhere in Skyrim. You know, fella who wrote that cookbook. DA15SheoChallenge2A We got a nickname for anyone who trifles with us guards here in Windhelm - "Suicide." DA15SheoChallenge2A Citizen. DA15SheoChallenge2A I fear the night. Because the werewolves and vampires don't. DA15SheoChallenge2A Bit late to be wandering around, isn't it? DA15SheoChallenge2A Only burglars and vampires creep around after dark. So which are you? DA15SheoChallenge2A You hear that? I swear, there's something out there. In the dark. DA15SheoChallenge2A Let me guess - someone stole your sweetroll... DA15SheoChallenge2A Could sure use a warm bed right about now... DA15SheoChallenge2A I'd be a lot warmer and a lot happier with a bellyful of mead... DA15SheoChallenge2A Just a few more hours and I can crawl under some furs... DA15SheoChallenge2A Disrespect the law, and you disrespect me. DA15SheoChallenge2A Thinking of settling in? There's a house for sale - Breezehome. You should talk to the steward up in the keep if you're interested. DA15SheoChallenge2A You're that one lives in Breezehome, right? Fine place. Almost bought it myself. DA15SheoChallenge2A Hjerim is a fine house, and it's up for sale. You should talk to the steward in the keep if you're interested. DA15SheoChallenge2A Don't think you'll get special treatment just because you have a house in the city... DA15SheoChallenge2A My heart goes out to Clan Shatter-Shield. Kin murdered, family warhammer stolen... There's no fairness in all that. DA15SheoChallenge2A Proudspire Manor, now there's a fine home. Up for sale, too. If you're interested, talk to the steward, in the keep. DA15SheoChallenge2A You own Proudspire Manor, hmm? Beautiful house. At least from the outside. DA15SheoChallenge2A If you're looking to settle in Riften, there's a house for sale - Honeyside. See the steward in the keep if you want it. DA15SheoChallenge2A Smart thing you did, buying Honeyside. Nice place, and why pay for an inn? DA15SheoChallenge2A Ah, Vlindrel Hall's a fine home, if you can afford it. The steward in the keep can tell you more. DA15SheoChallenge2A So you bought Vlindrel Hall, eh? Wish I could afford a house that nice. DA15SheoChallenge2A They say Ulfric Stormcloak murdered the High King... with his voice! Shouted him apart! DA15SheoChallenge2A What is it? Dragons? DA15SheoChallenge2A My cousin's out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Guard duty. DA15SheoChallenge2A Gotta keep my eyes open. Damned dragons could swoop down at any time. DA15SheoChallenge2A I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee... DA15SheoChallenge2A Everything all right? DA15SheoChallenge2A Trouble? DA15SheoChallenge2A Staying safe, I hope? DA15SheoChallenge2A I mostly deal with petty thievery and drunken brawls. Been too long since we've had a good bandit raid. DA15SheoChallenge2A The Imperials think we need their laws. Pfft. DA15SheoChallenge2A The Imperials think us all lawless beasts. I'm proof of their ignorance. DA15SheoChallenge2A 'Tis a wicked axe you wield there, friend. That blade looks sharp enough to cut through a god. DA15SheoChallenge2A You're the one saved the Fire Festival. I remember. DA15SheoChallenge2A What do you need, bard? DA15SheoChallenge2B Ha! I do love it when the mortals know they're being manipulated. Makes things infinitely more interesting. DA15SheoChallenge3 Care to take a look around? This is not, I dare say, the Solitude botanical gardens. Have you any idea where you are? Where you truly are? DA15SheoChallenge3 Welcome to the deceptively verdant mind of the Emperor Pelagius III. That's right! You're in the head of a dead, homicidally insane monarch. DA15SheoChallenge3 Now, I know what you're thinking. Can I still rely on my swords and spells and sneaking and all that nonsense? Sure, sure. Or... you could use... DA15SheoChallenge3 The Wabbajack! Huh? Huh? Didn't see that coming, did you? DA15SheoFinish1Topic Hmmmm... "Fixed" is such a subjective term. I think "treated" is far more appropriate, don't you? Like one does to a rash, or an arrow in the face. DA15SheoFinish1Topic Ah, but no matter. Heartless mortal that you are, you've actually succeeded and survived. I am forced to honor my end of the bargain. DA15SheoFinish1Topic So congratulations! You're free to go! DA15SheoFinish1Topic I... have been known to change my mind. So... go. Really. DA15SheoFinish1Topic Oh... lovely. Now all my dear Pelagius has to worry about are the several hundred legitimate threats... DA15SheoFinish1Topic But you're not out of the woods yet! Get it? Out of the woods? DA15SheoFinish1Topic Ah, wonderful, wonderful! Why waste all that hatred on yourself when it can so easily be directed at others! DA15SheoFinish1Topic But someone still has quite a bit to do. Hmmm? DA15SheoFinish1Topic Ah! Good, good! No more barking at all hours, and chewing up my slippers. You used the hemlock, then? Damned good idea! I... DA15SheoFinish1Topic Um... We're not talking about Barbas, are we? Clavicus Vile's... dog? Oohh... awkward. DA15SheoFinish1Topic Oh! That's right! Pelagius! Yes, yes, now I recall. Well done, well done. DA15SheoFinish1Topic Now keep going. DA15SheoFinish1Topic Mortal? Insufferable. DA15SheoFinish1Topic Yes, yes, you're entirely brilliant. Conquering madness and all that. Blah blah blah. DA15SheoFinish1Topic But you're not done yet. And you could still die... DA15SheoFinish1Topic Ah, so now my dear Pelagius can hate himself for being legitimately afraid of things that actually threaten his existence... DA15SheoFinish1Topic ...but only during... the day? DA15SheoFinish1Topic Honestly, I can't keep up. But by all means, don't stop now. DA15SheoFinish1Topic Oh, I am so happy for you! My, what a burden to have carried. But you've done it! You've conquered your own inner demons! Bravo! DA15SheoFinish1Topic Um... DA15SheoFinish1Topic You... didn't mean... yourself. You meant... Pelagius... DA15SheoFinish1Topic Well! Same congratulations apply! Just, you know, for what you did for the insane emperor. DA15SheoFinish1Topic Conquering paranoia should be a snap after that ordeal, hmm? DA15SheoFinish1Topic You're just in time to say hello to Roggvir. DA15SheoFinish1Topic Wish I could head inside Solitude myself. Wouldn't mind seeing Roggvir get what's coming to him. DA15SheoMeet0 Reeaaaallllyyyy? DA15SheoMeet0 Ooh, ooh, what kind of message? A song? A summons? Wait, I know! A death threat written on the back of an Argonian concubine! Those are my favorite. DA15SheoMeet0 Well? Spit it out, mortal. I haven't got an eternity! DA15SheoMeet0 Actually... I do. Little joke. DA15SheoMeet0 But seriously. What's the message? DA15SheoMeet0 Hafrumph! Well then, if you're going to be like that... Perhaps it's best I take my leave. A good day to you sir. I said good day! DA15SheoMeet0 Yes, yes, as you've said, countless times before... DA15SheoMeet0 You are the best Septim that's ever ruled. Well, except for that Martin fellow, but he turned into a dragon god, and that's hardly sporting... DA15SheoMeet0 You are far too hard on yourself, my dear, sweet, homicidally insane Pelagius. What would the people do without you? Dance? Sing? Smile? Grow old? DA15SheoMeet0 So many undesirables to contend with. Naysayers. Buffoons. Detractors. Why, my headsman hasn't slept in three days! DA15SheoMeet0 Oh, I couldn't. Goes right through me. Besides, I have so many things to do... DA15SheoMeet0 More tea, Pelly my dear? DA15SheoMeet0 How rude! Can't be bothered to host an old friend for a decade or two. DA15SheoMeet0 I have a saying - I'm not going to feel what you have to like. Or something like that. DA15SheoMeet0 Is it just me or is it getting saner and saner these days? DA15SheoMeet0 Pelagius stopped by and mentioned he hated you. Or I mentioned he hated you and he agreed. DA15SheoMeet0 I hope you're having a good time. Actually, I hope I'm having a good time. I could care less about you. DA15SheoMeet0 I see you've been minding your own business. So how is the mind business? DA15SheoMeet0 Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick. It's a very delicate state of mind! DA15SheoMeet0 Please, take pity on an old madman! DA15SheoMeet0 Who among you can help me? DA15SheoMeet0 Wait, hear my plea! My master, he is lost between worlds and I cannot bring him back! DA15SheoMeet0 Why does everyone ignore me? Why do you turn your heads? Why will no one help me? DA15SheoMeet0 The flame of my master burns low. Without him, we are all lost and forever gray... Please, help us! DA15SheoMeet1A Were you now? DA15SheoMeet1A By whom? DA15SheoMeet1A Wait! Don't tell me! I want to guess! DA15SheoMeet1A Was it Molag? No, no... Little Tim, the toymaker's son? The ghost of King Lysandus? Or was it... Yes! Stanley, that talking grapefruit from Passwall. DA15SheoMeet1A Wrong on all accounts, aren't I? DA15SheoMeet1A Ha! No matter! Honestly, I don't want to know. Why ruin the surprise? DA15SheoMeet1A But more to the point. Do you - tiny, puny, expendable little mortal - actually think you can convince me to leave? DA15SheoMeet1A Because that's... crazy. You do realize who you're dealing with here? DA15SheoMeet1B Oh, no no no! No mistake at all. What you made was a choice. Granted, not a very wise choice, but these things happen. Ah, the folly of youth... DA15SheoMeet1B You know, you remind me of myself at a young age. All I cared about was riding narwhales and sleeping in honeycombs and drinking babies' tears... DA15SheoMeet1B Word of advice if you ride a Narwhale. Mind the pointy end. DA15SheoMeet1B Ah, but there I go, waxing poetic about my misspent youth. Now where were we? Ah yes. You're the mortal messenger. An I am...? DA15SheoMeet1B Honestly. Have you any idea? DA15SheoMeet2A Wrong! DA15SheoMeet2A Actually, you do. Sort of. DA15SheoMeet2A I am a part of you, little mortal. I am a shadow in your subconscious, a blemish on your fragile little psyche. You know me. You just don't know it. DA15SheoMeet2A Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness. At your service. DA15SheoMeet2B Yaaawwwwnn.... DA15SheoMeet2B Oh, pardon me. Were you saying something? I do apologize, it's just that I find myself suddenly and irrevocably... DA15SheoMeet2B Bored! DA15SheoMeet2B I mean, really. Here you stand, before Sheogorath himself, Daedric Prince of Madness, and all you deem fit to do is... deliver a message? How sad. DA15SheoMeet2C Jolly good guess! DA15SheoMeet2C But only half right. I'm a mad god. The Mad God, actually. It's a family title. Gets passed down from me to myself every few thousand years. DA15SheoMeet2C Now you. You can call me Ann Marie. DA15SheoMeet2C But only if you're partial to being flayed alive and having an angry immortal skip rope with your entrails. DA15SheoMeet2C If not... Then call me Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness. Charmed. DA15Where0Topic Inside the mind of Pelagius, silly. DA15Where0Topic Oh. Is it your... first time? DA15WingAccess0 Absolutely not. That wing has been sealed for hundreds of years, and for good reason. They say the ghost of Pelagius the Mad still haunts it. DA15WingAccess0 Ghost or not, there are reminders of his dark rule that are best left buried away. DA15WingAccess0 Not on your life. It's dangerous in there, and Falk doesn't even like me and Erdi going in every year to clean out the spiders. DA15WingAccess0 Oh, I'd get in trouble for that. It's not allowed. Besides, it's scary in there! DA16Attacks How dare you defile this temple, orc! DA16Attacks Begone, invader! DA16Attacks Die, foul orc! DA16Attacks You'll pay for your blasphemy! DA16Attacks Awaken, and perish! DA16Attacks Feel the Benevolence of Mara! DA16Attacks I'll send you to Oblivion! DA16Attacks This is your final hour! DA16Attacks We must end the nightmares! DA16BeforeLabBranchTopic Now that they've been dealt with, we need to find the Torpor. DA16BeforeLabBranchTopic01 It should be in a small bottle, very similar to a potion. DA16BeforeLabBranchTopic01 I'll begin searching up here. DA16BeforeLabBranchTopic02 Well done. I wasn't certain you'd even know what to look for. DA16BleedOuts Lady Mara... preserve me... DA16BleedOuts I've failed you... forgive me... DA16BleedOuts Too much... can't... DA16BleedOuts Lady Mara... I await your embrace... DA16BleedOuts No... not when we're so close... DA16BleedOuts Can't fail now... must hang on... DA16CasimirGoodbye Farewell, Brother Casimir. DA16CombatToNormal So endeth the lesson. DA16CombatToNormal Back from whence you came, heathen! DA16CombatToNormal To Oblivion with you. DA16CombatToNormal Forgive me, my brother. DA16CombatToNormal Mara forgives you, my child. DA16CombatToNormal Rest well and sleep deeply, my brother. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic Not a single man or woman in Dawnstar has gotten a good night's rest in days. We keep having the same nightmare, over and over. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic If people aren't tired, they're angry, and if they aren't angry, they're afraid. It's made keeping order a mess. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic I hear Mara has sent one of her priests to the inn to try to calm people down, but I don't know how much words will do now. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic That's right. Dawnstar. My Dawnstar is plagued with nightmares. I haven't slept properly in days. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic That priest of Mara who came here before you says the Divines will cure us. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic Well, until they do, I don't have any business to discuss with outsiders. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic You haven't heard? All of Dawnstar hasn't had a decent night's rest in days. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic People are having nightmares they swear are real. They go to bed, but they wake up more tired than yesterday. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic I've heard that a priest of Mara has come, saying that the Divines will lift this curse somehow, but that remains to be seen. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic Nightmares. I haven't met a single man or woman who doesn't admit to having them. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic A bad dream I can handle, but everyone having the same bad dream, every night? It's a curse, I say. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic I hear there's a priest of Mara visiting the inn. Maybe the Divines will cure us. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic It's these nightmares. Me and every one of my workers can't catch a nod without having one. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic They're almost... real. They say a priest of Mara has arrived in town. We'll see if faith can cure this curse. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic New in town? You're lucky. Dreams aren't affecting travelers. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic Everyone else though.... They're horrible. Imagine dying over and over again in your dreams night after night. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic They say a priest of Mara is visiting the Windpeak Inn. Says the Divines will take care of everything. We'll see about that. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic Everyone here is having nightmares. I have miners tripping over their own feet from lack of sleep. DA16DawnstarNightmareBranchTopic I heard there was a Priest of Mara who was supposed to be looking into it. We'll see if anything comes of that. DA16Deaths How could you, Erandur... DA16Deaths Vaermina forgive me... DA16ErandurAfterLabBranchTopic I'm relieved you discovered a bottle intact; this place looks as though it was ransacked by the orcs. DA16ErandurAfterLabBranchTopic So... I've taken us this far, but you need to guide us the rest of the way. Drink. DA16ErandurAfterLabBranchTopic01 Dawnstar's fate rests in that tiny bottle. The longer we wait, the more damage Vaermina could be doing to those poor people. DA16ErandurAfterLabBranchTopic01 I understand your hesitation, but I promise you that it works. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic Let me take a look... DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic Mara be praised! There is a way past the barrier to the inner sanctum. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic It involves a recipe for a liquid known as Vaermina's Torpor. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic02 I believe there is a laboratory in the east wing. If we proceed there, we should be able to locate a sample. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic03 Yes. The Torpor grants an ability the priests of Vaermina called "The Dreamstride"; using dreams to travel distances in the real world. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic04 I assure you, the Dreamstride is well known in Vaerminian Lore. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic04 Sadly, I have yet to see it function in person. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic05 Quite amazing, yes. Alchemy and the blessings of a Divine distilled down into a ingestible liquid. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic05 Sadly, I have yet to see it function in person. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic06 As a sworn priest of Mara, the elixir won't work for me. The Torpor will only work for Priests of Vaermina, or the unaffiliated. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic07 I will not lie to you, there is some risk involved. The last time the Torpor was imbibed could have been decades ago. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic07 But I swear upon Lady Mara that I will do everything within my power to prevent any harm from befalling you. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic08 No, all my research points in the opposite direction. This is the exact liquid the priests would drink. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic08 The only question in my mind is whether you will be granted The Dreamstride. Otherwise, the worst that could happen is a bad aftertaste. DA16ErandurAfterLibraryBranchTopic08 I swear upon Lady Mara that I would never let any harm befall you. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic Damn it. The priests must have activated this barrier when the Miasma was released. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01 Impossible actually. Hmm, I wonder... DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01 There may be a way to bypass the barrier, but I must check their library and confirm it can be done. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01a I suppose there's no point in concealing the truth any longer. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01a My knowledge of this temple comes from personal experience. I was a priest of Vaermina. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01a Let's just hope they got it right this time. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01a It was my idea to replace one of the key elements with our focusing crystal. Months of enchantments went into it. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01a This machinery, all of it, was designed to collect starlight, and then... I'm not sure. Split it, somehow? DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01a From all our research, it seems they were intent on discerning the nature of the divine. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01a I was the one who thought of using this... this Oculory. I don't know what the dwarves called it. Something unpronounceable, I'm sure. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic01a No matter what Gavros said, this was my idea first. The Council is going to know that when I get back. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic02 I still have my key to the library. Whenever you're ready, let's move on. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic03 When the orcs invaded the temple, I fled. I left my brothers and sisters here to die. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic04 Yes, you're right. I should have, but I didn't know what to say. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic04 When the orcs raided the temple, I fled. I left my brothers and sisters behind to die. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic04 Behold the Skull of Corruption, the source of Dawnstar's woes. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic04 We must reach the inner sanctum and destroy it. Come, there's no time to lose. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic04 Now I can show you the source of the nightmares. Over here. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic05 And what would you have me say? Sorry for following the misguided teachings of a mad Divine? Sorry for stealing memories from children? DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic05 Do you realize when the orcs attacked, I was only concerned with myself? I fled... and left my brothers and sisters behind to die. DA16ErandurBarrierIntroBranchTopic06 I've spent the last few decades living in regret and seeking redemption from Mara. And by Her Benevolence, I will right my wrongs. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic Barring any more interruptions, perhaps we can locate the information I need. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic Don't wait around for me. I bet I'll beat you to Korvanjund even though you start first. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic We're not leaving until we get what we came for. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic No. And I'm not sure I'm better off for it now neither. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic Hail, Galmar. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic Hail, Ilfhild. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic Cold as the inside of an ice wraith. That and some Imperials are camped out around the entrance, staying nice and warm around their fires. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic Imperials? Well, if they're keeping themselves comfortable, let's slip in and send them to their graves that way. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic What's the situation? DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic Well, that's something at least. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic Stormcloaks were already camped out around the entrance when we got here. They don't know we're here yet, though. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic What's the situation? DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryBranchTopic02 Thank Her Benevolence it wasn't burned like the other tomes. DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryTopic01 We're looking for a book of alchemical recipes called "The Dreamstride." DA16ErandurBeforeLibraryTopic01 The tome bears the likeness of Vaermina on the cover. It should be here somewhere. DA16ErandurDreamstateBranchTopic You'll be viewing the memory of another through your own eyes and with your own body. DA16ErandurDreamstateBranchTopic Those around you will perceive you as normal and you will find the words you utter may not be your own. DA16ErandurDreamstateBranchTopic Thanks to all of these odd principles, there is quite a lot of debate as to whether this is really a dream or just the machinations of Vaermina. DA16ErandurDreamstateBranchTopic01 I will watch over you as you slumber to ensure your safety. If I deduce anything is amiss, I will use my arts to bring you back. DA16ErandurDreamstateBranchTopic01 Otherwise, I am uncertain what will end your Dreamstride. Perhaps when Vaermina's curious appetite has been filled. DA16ErandurEndingBranchOutroTopic I'd constructed a meager shrine to Mara in the antechamber where we entered. DA16ErandurEndingBranchOutroTopic My intention was to spend the rest of my years here, burying the past and praying for forgiveness. DA16ErandurEndingBranchOutroTopic But instead, I wish to offer my services to you. If you ever wish to journey with me, I'll be here. DA16ErandurEndingBranchOutroTopic01 There's no need to thank me. What you did was for the people of Dawnstar. DA16ErandurEndingBranchOutroTopic01 If anyone should be thanked, it should be you. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 Forgive me if I don't appear relieved... this temple has taken its toll on me. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 First, an incantation to remove the barrier. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 Come. You, too. We can escape through the tunnels. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 Fine. Let's go. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 I assume everyone's gone ahead of us as planned. I just swept through the castle, no one's here. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 Now. We really must be going, sir. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 And my children? DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 As soon as we can muster our forces, we'll be back. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 That's the battle you need to fight. Not this. This will be suicide. And to what end? DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 Not without a fight it isn't! DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic01 It's time to leave. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic02 In time, I believe I will. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic03 Yes. The Skull has been destroyed and Dawnstar is safe. DA16ErandurEndingBranchTopic04 Being a humble servant of Mara, I have little in the way of gold or coin, but perhaps I can offer you something better... companionship. DA16ErandurFirstDoneBranchTopic It... it worked. Mara be praised! DA16ErandurFirstDoneBranchTopic You vanished after drinking the Torpor and materialized on the other side. I have never seen anything quite like it. DA16ErandurFirstDoneBranchTopic01 How I envy you. I can only imagine the excitement of seeing history through the eyes of another! DA16ErandurFirstDoneBranchTopic01 Sadly, I am resigned to just reading of its wonders through my research of the Skull. DA16ErandurFirstDoneBranchTopic02 After what you just experienced, you are not amazed? I am at a loss for words. DA16ErandurFirstDoneBranchTopic03 I thought I was clear regarding the dangers that awaited you within the Dreamstride. DA16ErandurFirstDoneBranchTopic03 However, this hardly matters any longer as you appear to have exited unscathed. DA16ErandurFirstDoneBranchTopic04 Indeed. My reverence for Vaermina's machinations should not take precedence over our mission. My apologies. DA16ErandurFirstDoneBranchTopic04 The inner sanctum lies ahead. We must reach the Skull and put an end to Dawnstar's troubles. Lead on, my friend. DA16ErandurIntroBranch03 I need to return to the source of the problem, to Nightcaller Temple. DA16ErandurIntroBranch03 Perhaps you'd be willing to assist me in that regard? DA16ErandurIntroBranch04 These dreams are manifestations created by the Daedric Lord Vaermina. DA16ErandurIntroBranch04 She has an awful hunger for our memories. In return, she leaves behind nightmares not unlike a cough marks a serious illness. DA16ErandurIntroBranch04 I must end her terrible influence over these people before the damage becomes permanent. DA16ErandurIntroBranch04a I've already said too much. If anyone overhears what we're saying, it could start a panic. DA16ErandurIntroBranch04a I would simply ask that you trust me and help me end Dawnstar's nightmares. DA16ErandurIntroBranch04x In any other circumstance, I'd agree with you. However, these aren't normal dreams. DA16ErandurIntroBranch04x The Daedric Lord Vaermina's voracious hunger for memories is responsible for these visions. DA16ErandurIntroBranch04x The nightmares are an echo of her presence as she feeds. DA16ErandurIntroBranch04y Turn my back on these people when their lives could be at stake? I should say not. DA16ErandurIntroBranch04y Those dreams are not just visions, they're a footprint left by the Daedric Lord Vaermina as she drains these people of their memories! DA16ErandurIntroBranch09 Wonderful! My lady Mara will be quite pleased! DA16ErandurIntroBranch09 Nightcaller Temple is only a short walk from Dawnstar. Come, we must hurry. DA16ErandurIntroBranch11 Your concerns are understandable; trust is a very difficult commodity to come by these days. DA16ErandurIntroBranch11 I can only give you my word as a priest of Mara that my intentions are honorable. DA16ErandurIntroBranch12 I understand. If you should change your mind, I'll be here. DA16ErandurIntroBranchTopic The entire town is being plagued by horrible nightmares. They're in serious danger but I'm afraid there's little I can do about it. DA16ErandurMiasmaBranchTopic The Miasma was created by the priests of Vaermina for their rituals. It's a gas that places the affected in a deep sleep. DA16ErandurMiasmaBranchTopic Because the rituals would last for months or even years, the Miasma was designed to slow down the aging process. DA16ErandurMiasmaBranchTopic01 Sadly, yes. The longer an individual is exposed to the Miasma, the more the mind can become damaged. DA16ErandurMiasmaBranchTopic01 Those who've been under the effect of it for extended periods of time have been known to lose their minds entirely. DA16ErandurMiasmaBranchTopic01 In some cases, a few never awoke at all. DA16ErandurOutsideBranchTopic Before we enter, I must warn you about the dangers that could be lurking within. DA16ErandurOutsideBranchTopic Years ago, this temple was raided by an orc war party seeking revenge... they were being plagued by nightmares just like the people of Dawnstar.

DA16ErandurOutsideBranchTopic I need to lay down. I'll just be a minute.... DA16ErandurOutsideBranchTopic Why don't you lay down and rest, while we get the meal ready? DA16ErandurOutsideBranchTopic I've been invited to dinner.... I'm so hungry.... DA16ErandurOutsideBranchTopic Yes. I'm your friend, and I've invited you to dinner. DA16ErandurOutsideBranchTopic02 No. Knowing they could never defeat the orcs, the priests of Vaermina released what they call "The Miasma," putting everyone to sleep. DA16ErandurOutsideBranchTopic03 I'm concerned that when this place is unsealed, the Miasma will dissipate and they'll awaken; both orcs and priests alike. DA16ErandurReturnIntroBranchTopic Mara be praised! DA16ErandurReturnIntroBranchTopic Nightcaller Temple is only a short walk from Dawnstar. Come, we must hurry. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic I... knew Veren and Thorek. They were my friends. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic Is this punishment for my past? Is it Mara's will to torment me so? DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic You must deliver those items to your superior. And I... I must get out of this foul place. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic I don't even know what to think anymore... DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic Are you excited? Oh, you should be. Things are finally looking up! DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic Doesn't really matter. Thanks, but no. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic I haven't even said what it is. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic No, I don't think so. Not today. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic Malur, I need you to take care of something. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic As you wish. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic Well, he's been very busy. Perhaps today he'll have some free time. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic Again? Are you sure? He still hasn't answered your last several requests. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic Why don't you see if Arch-Mage Aren is interested in joining me for a meal? DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic Will you be needing anything special today? DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic Yes, that will be fine. Thank you. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic I shall inform you the moment something noteworthy happens. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic None? Nothing at all? Nothing from the College, even? DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic There is no news, I'm afraid. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic So, what's the latest exciting news about goings-on in Winterhold? DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic01a Yes. You're right. If they needed to die so that Dawnstar could live, then it was worth the price. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic01a To feed my power when I come for you in Sovngarde! DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic01a Nivahriin joorre! What have you done? What twisted Words have you created?! Tahrodiis Paarthurnax! My teeth to his neck! DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic01b And had they succeeded, Dawnstar's fate would be sealed. You have a unique way of looking at things, my friend. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic01c No! You mustn't listen to them. They speak only lies and deception. DA16ErandurRitualBranchTopic01c Had we aided them in releasing the Skull, they would use it to wreak havoc across Skyrim. They... they had to die. DA16ErandurRitualFollowUpBranchTopic It's time. The Skull must be destroyed. DA16ErandurRitualFollowUpBranchTopic If you'll stand back, I'll perform the ritual granted to me by Lady Mara. DA16ErandurRudeBranchTopic Wish to converse with the crazy old elf, eh? Very well. Go on. DA16ErandurRudeBranchTopic01 Apologies accepted. I understand how this entire story can be mistaken for fiction since the circumstances are so abstract. DA16ErandurRudeBranchTopic01 However, I can assure you that I will do everything in my power to keep you safe if you're willing to help me. DA16ErandurRudeBranchTopic02 Amusing. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to continue my research. I have no time for idle chatter with any simpleton who strikes up a conversation. DA16ErandurRudeBranchTopic03 Thank Mara. I was afraid I'd never be able to convince you. DA16ErandurRudeBranchTopic03 Allow me to gather the materials I need for my ritual, and then I will meet you outside the ruins. DA16ErandurSkullBranchTopic Lore holds that the Skull of Corruption holds a constant hunger for the memories of others. DA16ErandurSkullBranchTopic The Skull has been out of touch for so long, I fear it's gained the ability to reach out on its own and try to feed. DA16ErandurSkullBranchTopic What it does with these memories is just conjecture and an argument for scholars and historians to this very day. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic Vaermina resides in a strange realm known as Quagmire... a nightmarish land where reality shifts upon itself in seemingly impossible ways. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic From her citadel at the center, she reaches forth to collect our memories, leaving nothing in return apart from visions of horror and despair. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Who can say? Perhaps she collects them for display like works of art in a nonsensical art gallery. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Whatever the case may be, her intentions are far from benevolent. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Absolutely not! I protest... uh, that is, yes, of course. I still don't understand what just... oh never mind. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 That is absolutely untrue! Uh, that is, yes, of course. What... I don't understand why everyone... never mind. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 I protest! This is an insult to the dignity of my person! This time I'm completely innocent! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 This is preposterous. Disrespect... insulting! I am tired of being hounded from all sides! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Madame Ambassador, you know that I would never have behaved... that is to say... well I swear I'm innocent this time! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 I don't understand... did you say Ulfric Stormcloak? Fine fellow, although a bit too fond of... I mean, no, of course, I condemn him in the most... DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Hmm? Did you say snakes? Where? I hate them, always slithering they way they do... what? Are they on me? DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 What? Of course I know who you are... I didn't mean to suggest, that is, I don't remember even saying that... DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 What? I didn't... hmm? No, listen, you must have misunderstood... I don't mean to say I wouldn't be interested... what I mean is... DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 What? I didn't... hmm? No, listen, you must have misunderstood... I would never openly insult your... that is to say... DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Tell your men to stand down. I don't need any help dealing with this kind of fool. He isn't worth the trouble. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 I apologize for the disruption to such a festive occasion. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Dear me. All this trouble over me? I think I was confused. There's no harm in him. Please, let him go. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Oh... I'm afraid I may have overreacted. Please, I've already forgotten whatever it was he said to me. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 I'm sure he's learned his lesson. Let's try to enjoy ourselves. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 I'm sorry, Ambassador. I didn't mean to cause such a commotion. There's no need to have him thrown out on my account. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Oh, Ambassador Elenwen, that won't be necessary. It is just Razelan, after all. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 I'm sure he'll behave himself for the rest of the evening, won't you dear? DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Well, now. There's no need to ruin the party on my account. I don't think he'll be bothering me again. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Forgive me, Ambassador. I allowed this... fool to provoke me. The fault is mine. There is no need for further disruption on my account. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Yes, Madame Ambassador. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Remove him. He's disturbing the other guests. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Razelan. And you promised to behave yourself this time. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Razelan. What is it this time? DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 You take it back then? You retract your statement? Well? DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Begone, serpent! Begone from this house and trouble it no more! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Beware of the serpent in your midst! Beware, oh people of Skyrim! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 There's no excuse for your behavior! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 You behave like you're carousing in a house of ill repute, not the residence of the Thalmor Ambassador! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 I know you're drunk as usual, but that's no excuse for insulting our hostess. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 I don't think anyone deserves that kind of abuse! I've known plenty of elves who were perfectly decent people. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 The head office will hear of this, Razelan! You're a disgrace to the East Empire Company, and to the Empire itself! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 You're a disgrace to the Empire. To think that you're actually the representative of the East Empire Company. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 When people talk about the decadent, tottering Empire, it's people like you they have in mind! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Your insults and provocations have gone far enough! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 I'd kill you where you stand if I wasn't bound by my oath as an officer of the Aldmeri Dominion. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 No harm is meant to you, happy fool. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Right here! I see it in your face! The snakes writhe behind your eyes! Get away, get away from me! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 It's all for a good cause, old chap. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Ulfric Stormcloak? The rightful High King? That's bordering on treason, man! Stand up. Stand up, I say! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 What...! Do you know who I am? I should have you taken up and flogged! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Hey, Razelan, remember when you told me I'd never amount to anything? DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Well, I don't think you should stay things like that about the Ambassador! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 Just play along. DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 How dare you! You disgusting pig! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 You've got a lot of nerve, suggesting something like that, to me of all people! If this was Riften, I'd have you thrown in the dungeon! DA16ErandurVaerminaBranchTopic01 How dare you speak of the Thalmor in such a disgusting manner! DA16Goodbyes Come, we must get to the Skull and destroy it. DA16Goodbyes Let's continue, we still have much to do. DA16Goodbyes The Torpor should be in a tall bottle with dark liquid. If you find it, bring it to me. DA16Goodbyes The laboratory adjoins the library. I'm hoping we'll find a sample of the Torpor left undamaged. DA16Goodbyes If you'll check the shelves around the balcony, I'll check around the lower level. DA16Goodbyes This way... the library isn't far. DA16Goodbyes We mustn't tarry... the Skull needs to be destroyed as soon as possible. DA16Goodbyes Once we get inside, all will become clear. DA16Goodbyes I promise to answer all of your questions. Follow me. DA16Goodbyes This way, my daughter. DA16Goodbyes This way, my son. DA16Goodbyes If you change your mind, I'll be here. DA16Goodbyes Take your time. I understand your hesitation. DA16Hellos Unless you're here to solve this nightmare problem, I don't need you. DA16Hellos Need a room? Don't worry. Nightmares don't seem to happen for travelers. DA16Hellos You come to Dawnstar at a bad time. Tempers are... fiery. DA16Hellos The Jarl is... tired. Be mindful of that. DA16Hellos These dreams are real I tell you. Real! DA16Hellos Can't sleep well no matter how much drink I put in me. DA16Hellos I envy you travelers. Dreams aren't affecting anyone not from here. DA16Hellos What is it? I haven't had much sleep. DA16Hellos If I get any rest soon, I'll count myself richer than a king. DA16Hellos If you're here about the nightmares, I'm afraid my pleas to the College of Winterhold go unheard. DA16Hellos Seems like no one is getting a decent night's rest in Dawnstar, stranger. Best buy your steel and move on. DA16Hellos Gods I'm so tired. DA16Hellos Please. I must remain uninterrupted if I am to complete the ritual. Have no fear, your time will come. DA16Hellos What troubles you, my son? DA16Hellos What troubles you, my daughter? DA16Hellos Yes, my son, what is it I can help with? DA16Hellos Yes, my daughter, what is it I can help with? DA16Hellos You're wrong to come here, stranger. No rest in Dawnstar. DA16Hellos By the Divines, I'm tired. DA16Hellos No. I don't have anything for bad dreams, so don't ask. DA16Hellos Lady Mara will save us from these nightmares. You'll see. DA16NormalToCombat For Lady Mara! DA16NormalToCombat For Dawnstar! DA16NormalToCombat By Her Benevolence, you shall not stop us! DA16NormalToCombat Take heed! They've awakened! DA16NormalToCombat Time for your final rest! DA16NormalToCombat They mustn't stop us! DA16NormalToCombat We fight till the last! DA16NormalToCombat ...w...what happened? Wait! We're still under attack! DA16NormalToCombat ...the Miasma... They're still here! Stop them! DA16NormalToCombat ...dreaming... Defilers! Kill the defilers! DA16NormalToCombat ..wha?... where?... D-destroy this place! Tear it apart! DA16NormalToCombat ...s-sleeping? No! Burn the temple! Kill the priests! DA16NormalToCombat ...not dead? Kill them, kill them all! DA16Thorek01 The orcs have breached the inner sanctum, Brother Veren. DA16Thorek02 But... no more than a handful of us remain, brother. DA16Thorek03 The Miasma? But, brother... DA16Thorek04 Agreed. To the death. DA16Veren01 We must hold. We can't allow the Skull to fall into their hands. DA16Veren02 Then we have no choice. The Miasma must be released. DA16Veren03 We have no alternative. It's the will of Vaermina. DA16Veren04 Then let it be done. Farewell, my brothers! DA16Veren05 Then it's decided. DA16Veren05 Brother Casimir, you must activate the barrier and release the Miasma. Let nothing stop you. DA16Veren06 And what about you, Brother Casimir? Are you prepared to serve the will of Vaermina? DA16Veren07 Brother Thorek, we must remain here and guard this Skull with our lives if necessary. DA16VerenGoodbye Go now! The orcs could breach the inner sanctum at any moment! DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Look. If you're trying to get to know me - don't. I don't like you, and I never will. It's nothing personal. But... DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic My wife trusts you, and I trust her judgment. So you can't be all bad. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Here's all you need to know: I'm a werewolf. I like killing things. I love Astrid. I hate annoying people. And the color blue gives me a headache. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic I might ask the same of you. For you are more than mortal. You are moon-born. You are wolf. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic So you're a Companion, then? I can't imagine you got your gift anywhere else. I hope you have better luck with them than I did. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Oh yes, I was once brother to the Companions. Let's just say they found my methods "unsettling." The Dark Brotherhood, obviously, feels differently. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic What a curious question. Well, I enjoy moonlit nights, taking long walks on the beach, knitting and unicorns. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic In fact, I once took a seaside stroll, on a moonlit night, and discovered a unicorn... which I proceeded to stab in the throat with a crochet needle. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic I'm a woman of refined, yet simple tastes. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic I'm just a little girl! The Dark Brotherhood killed my mama and papa, and then they took me captive! Please, please help me! DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Rather convincing, don't you think? DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic In truth, I'm no more a little girl than you are. I was once, of course. Three hundred years ago. Vampirism tends to keep one remarkably... fresh. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Hmph. I like to say I was born with a wand in my hand. Well, not literally - you can see how painful that would have been for mother. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic But I was a prodigy! Casting simple spells by one, completing complex incantations by three. Resurrecting corpses by seven! Ha! DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic When I was thirteen I accidentally burned down the family home. A bit of lightning gone awry. Ah, but soon after I mastered my gifts. Completely. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic I went on to teach at the College - left after two years. Too simple. Too safe. None of them truly understood the glory of the Destruction school... DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Once, I was a Shadowscale. An assassin in service to the King of Black Marsh. Trained by the Dark Brotherhood since the day of my hatching. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Ah, but that was a lifetime ago. Today, I am the last of my kind. My order is extinct. Now, I happily serve Astrid, and this Sanctuary. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic I am a trained killer, and once again have been given purpose. Life is good. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic This Sanctuary has been my entire life since I was a young woman. That's when I first discovered my, shall we call it "aptitude," for elimination. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic I had an uncle, you see. He made certain... unwanted advances. So I killed him. And liked it. Then I killed again. And liked it even more. And so on. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic I was recruited by the Dark Brotherhood, and have been here ever since. I met my husband Arnbjorn, rose to leadership. And now here we are. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Ah, well, I'm Redguard, as I'm sure you've noticed. Though not like most of my kind you'll find in Skyrim, that's for damned sure. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic I am a child of Hammerfell, born of the sands of the mighty Alik'r. In that great desert, blood is a shade of crimson I can scarce describe. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic My past is long and storied, and not altogether proud. But the Dark Brotherhood saved me from myself. And I have never looked back. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Ah, well, I'm Redguard, as I'm sure you've noticed. Though not like you. Hmph. No, definitely not like you. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic I am a child of Hammerfell, born of the sands of the mighty Alik'r. In that great desert, blood is a shade of crimson I can scarce describe. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic My past is long and storied, and not altogether proud. But the Dark Brotherhood saved me from myself. And I have never looked back. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Me? Oh, Cicero is just the Keeper! I... keep! I look after our matron, you see. The Night Mother. I keep her clean, and protected, and happy... DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic But I am not the Listener. Oh no. There is no Listener. Not yet! But some day, some day, some day I pray, that one will come to hear her say... DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic The words. DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic Me? Oh, Cicero is just the Keeper! I... keep! I look after our matron, you see. The Night Mother. I keep her clean, and protected, and happy... DarkAboutYourselfBranchTopic But I am not the Listener. Oh no. You are the Listener! You heard the words! And everything will soon be put right. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic Two hundred years ago, I would have lain down my life for the Unholy Matron. But that is an age long since passed. Astrid is my matron now. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic Without the Night Mother, there is no Dark Brotherhood. The Matron deserves our unwavering support and respect. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic Though I admit, I find her Keeper a bit too exuberant for my liking. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic The witless fool and his pet corpse? Take a guess. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic Their arrival is the best thing that's happened to this Sanctuary in years. Astrid is an effective leader, but we've been rudderless for too long. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic Scrounging for contracts, abandoning the Tenets. The Dark Brotherhood has been reduced to a group of common cutthroats. Frankly, it's embarrassing. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic Truthfully? I'm not entirely sure. It's not that I don't have the utmost respect for Sithis, and the Night Mother, and the ancient ways. I do. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic But I've never been much for religion. I kill because it's what I've been trained to do. It's all I know. So long as Astrid is happy, I'm happy. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic I don't like mimes, minstrels, thespians, acrobats, jugglers, troubadours or tumblers. Flutists give me a headache. I particularly hate jesters. DarkCiceroNightMotherBranchTopic As a rule, I'm also not crazy about the corpses of old women. For the Night Mother, I'll make an exception. But Astrid is the only mistress I serve. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Yeah. Follow my wife's orders, and don't do anything stupid. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You must speak to that Muiri woman, correct? I have heard rumors in Windhelm. She was recently implicated in a thievery, along with her lover. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic The lover will likely be your target. If memory serves me correctly, he leads a group of bandits. So this may be rather interesting for you. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic The contracts I dole out are fairly simple - go to a location, and kill the target. But this is different. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic The jobs Astrid gives you will be more important, and usually more complex. Just keep your wits about you. And for Sithis' sake, don't get killed. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You're headed to The Hag's Cure, right? It's a good shop. You should examine their wares. Never pass up the chance to buy a good potion... or poison. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic And one more thing. Have fun. You'll be committing a dark deed, but there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy yourself. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You're only young once. Trust me, I know. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Yes. Just because you're now a professional assassin, don't think you have to skulk around in the dark like a skeever and stab people. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Do what I do. Walk up to your target, introduce yourself, melt their skin off, and then run like the wind. Works every time. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You're being sent to meet with the contact directly, is that correct? What a most unusual occurrence. Astrid usually performs this duty herself. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic I can only assume she wants to test the full breadth of your abilities. So. Be polite, and professional, and represent us well. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic She said that? If I find anyone working against my wife, or this Sanctuary, I'll beat them to death with their own severed head. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Of course, they'd probably already be dead... DarkContractHelpBranchTopic But you know what I mean! DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You're joking. While I can understand if some family members wish to honor the Old Ways once more, surely no one would oppose Astrid's rule. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Does she? Listen, brother... Astrid is my mistress, and I worship the ground she walks on. But this Cicero business has her a bit... paranoid. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Does she? Listen, sister... Astrid is my mistress, and I worship the ground she walks on. But this Cicero business has her a bit... paranoid. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Oh! Well, I hope she doesn't suspect me. I mean, I've spoken with Cicero a bit, and he's quite charming. But I'd never go against Astrid. Never. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Ha! And would that surprise anyone? This Sanctuary's a mess. Wouldn't surprise me if somebody's talking to the fool on the sly. Making deals. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic And no, before you ask, it's not me. I know which side my bread is buttered on. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic To what end? Usurping Astrid's authority as leader of the Sanctuary? Hmmm... Yes, I can see her concern. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Oho! The Listener wants my counsel! I thought you were above the opinions of mere mortals, now that you commune with dead old women. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Just remember Astrid's commitment to her Sanctuary, to her Family. A Family that now counts you as one of its own. Honor Astrid above all others. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You may be the Listener, or you may just be a lunatic who's started hearing voices. Either way, Astrid is still your mistress. Not the Night Mother. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic The man you need to speak with, his name is Motierre? That's a very old and powerful Breton family, firmly established in Cyrodiil. Most curious... DarkContractHelpBranchTopic So you're the Listener, hmm? Well that hardly seems fair. You just got here. The Night Mother should have spoken to me. Any idiot could see that. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic But, I will serve gladly, as that's my lot in life. Now let's see. Ah yes, Volunruud. It's an old crypt, infested with Draugr. So plan accordingly. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic If the Night Mother truly spoke to you, if you really are the Listener... your destiny was written in the Void. Astrid is right to fear your power. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You've got to kill a soft little woman on her wedding day. What's next? Murdering a crippled orphan in his sleep? DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Your contract sounds simple, which means it certainly will not be. Getting into that reception will be easy, but have you thought about getting out? DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Slaughtering the Emperor's cousin? At her wedding? Those guards will be out for blood. Wouldn't surprise me if the crowd jumped in too. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic It's no fair. I love weddings. Astrid should have given this contract to me. Instead, she's got me visiting cities, assessing security. How boring. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic But listen, I think I can help you. The wedding reception is outside the Temple of the Divines, right? In Solitude? DarkContractHelpBranchTopic If so, the bride will probably address the crowd from the balcony. It overlooks the courtyard. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Well, there's an old statue there. I've seen it. Hanging right over where she'll be standing. Old means weak. Weak means it could fall. Hmmm? DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Ah, killing her will be easy. She'll be so happy, she'll never see it coming. I should know, I killed a bride once. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic It was our honeymoon. Tepid, I said! The bathwater should be tepid! Lukewarm is not tepid! Close, maybe, but there's is a difference! Stupid cow. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of surveying the site of the reception. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic There's a small parapet, just opposite the balcony, that would prove an excellent spot for a long-range kill. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic I left something there for you. If you're inclined to take that approach. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic What's the matter, Listener? Night Mother not feeling very chatty these days? You need help from your flesh and blood lessers? DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You've got to track a man, kill him, and then frame him for a crime. This contract's perfect... for me. Clearly, my lovely wife made a mistake. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Astrid had me investigate the Penitus Oculatus. Their members are highly trained, effective warriors. Be on your guard, brother. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Astrid had me investigate the Penitus Oculatus. Their members are highly trained, effective warriors. Be on your guard, sister. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Killing Gaius Maro in a city will be challenging because of all the guards, but fights, even murder, are fairly common. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Killing him secretly will certainly make things easier on you, but if there are witnesses, so be it. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Normally I talk to a victim before I end his life, but I wouldn't recommend it this time. Maro will be alert to danger. Talking may spook him. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic I've taken the liberty of visiting the cities, and spreading some nasty rumors about Gaius Maro. To make his treachery that much more believable. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Remember, your target is Gaius Maro, the son. Not Commander Maro, the father! We need him alive. But the son... Ha! Scorch his face off! DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Yes, do not underestimate Cicero. A man like that, small and foolish, is easy to mock. To underestimate. Don't make the same mistake I did. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Going after Cicero now would be a fool's errand. That little jester is currently being digested in Arnbjorn's stomach, mark my words. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Cicero destroyed any sympathy I may have had for him when he wounded Veezara. Kill the fool and be done with it. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic All right, so maybe I was wrong. Maybe Cicero coming here wasn't the best thing that could have happened. But even I didn't anticipate this. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Well, you know the old saying. When life gives you lemons... DarkContractHelpBranchTopic ...go murder a clown. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic I feel only pity for Cicero. He must die, of course, but can any of us truly blame him for his actions? We mocked him, disrespected the Old Ways. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Our actions were shameful. Surely, the Night Mother weeps this day. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic The last thing you need is my help. Listener or not, you've proven yourself time and again. To Astrid, to the Family... and to me. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Hmm... Well, assuming this Gourmet is just a cook, it will probably be an easy kill. Just be discreet - alerting others will be the real threat. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Hmph. I wouldn't worry too much about this Virane giving you the information you need. Give him a good scare, and he'll squawk like a Hagraven. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic That said... If your attack on Virane is witnessed, those Markarth guards are going to be none too happy... DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Yes - don't kill the Gourmet! DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Oh, I know you have to, but it makes me sad all the same. I love the Gourmet's recipes. The world will soon be a blander, less flavorful place. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You've been directed to dispose of the Gourmet's body, is that correct? I often find water to be a suitable hiding place. A lake, a pool... the sea. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Believe it or not, Festus likes you. He senses your power, your potential. Follow his instructions to the letter, and you may even earn his respect. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic You get to kill the Emperor. The bloody Emperor. You'd better enjoy this one. You owe us all that much. So make it bloody, painful, and spectacular. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Yes. You're killing the Emperor himself. The Dark Brotherhood will get one shot at this, and you've been given the honors. So don't screw up. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Don't take any chances with this one. Use the Jarrin Root to poison the Emperor's food. You're disguising yourself as a chef - it only makes sense. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Well... While it's true I prefer sorcery's more destructive nuances, we mustn't forget the many spells with simpler, more practical applications. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Sure, you poison the Emperor, but what then? Why not summon an Atronach to cause some chaos? Or turn invisible and slip away. Use your imagination! DarkContractHelpBranchTopic What an honor, the assassination of an Emperor. And all because you are the Listener, favored by the Night Mother, anointed by Sithis. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic I am so very happy for you. If not a bit... envious. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Astrid has arranged for your escape, no? Then you have nothing to worry about. Get in, kill the Emperor, and get out. Then, we celebrate. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic It took all the favors, bribes, and blackmails I could muster, but I've secured your exit out of the keep. DarkContractHelpBranchTopic Just follow my instructions, and the Dark Brotherhood will be back on top. All thanks to you... Listener. DarkDeekusThreatShared What? Why? I don't understand... I have done nothing to wrong you. Please, mercy! DarkFamilyMembersGreetBranchTopic Yes, yes, you're the new Family member. Let's make this easy - consider me the cranky old uncle nobody talks to. You go your way, I'll go mine. DarkFamilyMembersGreetBranchTopic There you are! Astrid's told me all about you. Heard she pulled the ole' "Choose your victim" gag with you. Ah, I love that one... DarkFamilyMembersGreetBranchTopic Well, well. It's raw meat. Oh, my beautiful wife has told me all about you. DarkFamilyMembersGreetBranchTopic New brother. May I offer my most sincere welcome to our Family. DarkFamilyMembersGreetBranchTopic New sister. May I offer my most sincere welcome to our Family. DarkFamilyMembersGreetBranchTopic Welcome, my brother. Welcome to our Sanctuary. You have made the right choice, joining us, I assure you. DarkFamilyMembersGreetBranchTopic Welcome, my sister. Welcome to our Sanctuary. You have made the right choice, joining us, I assure you. DarkMarandrujoThreatShared What? You dare challenge Ma'randru-jo? You will suffer for your insolence! DarkwaterCrossingDerkeethusRescueQuestBranchTopic Derkeethus, from Darkwater Crossing. DarkwaterCrossingDerkeethusRescueQuestBranchTopic Should have known better than to swim all the way to the falls. DarkwaterCrossingDerkeethusRescueQuestBranchTopic Please, get me out of here! DarkwaterCrossingDerkeethusRescueQuestBranchTopic Laelette! She's dead! DarkwaterCrossingDerkeethusRescueQuestBranchTopic Ysmir's beard! She's...she's a vampire! DarkwaterCrossingHellos I try to think of it as coaxing the ore from the rock. DarkwaterCrossingHellos I keep hearing stories about Morrowind. Sounds like a wretched place. DarkwaterCrossingHellos I hear there's baked slaughterfish tonight. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Is there something I can help you with? DarkwaterCrossingHellos What's your trouble? Dasturn telling tales again? DarkwaterCrossingHellos We keep hearing that the war could come through here. I try not to worry about it. DarkwaterCrossingHellos It's tough to keep track of Hrefna. If her father wasn't such a snowback, he'd be around to help out. DarkwaterCrossingHellos I'm not proud of Hrefna's father. If she knew him, she wouldn't be either. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Hi! I've never seen you around here before. Are you a miner too? DarkwaterCrossingHellos Sondas takes care of me when mom's not around. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Derkeethus used to take me diving way down deep in the river. I miss him. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Mom says the Empire is mean, but I don't think they're that bad. DarkwaterCrossingHellos The Stormcloaks are named after Ulfric. He's a bad man, but don't tell the soldiers that. DarkwaterCrossingHellos A traveler? I'll be you've seen some sights. We should swap tales sometime. DarkwaterCrossingHellos There's a gorgeous tree that grows right up through a cave to the northeast of here. DarkwaterCrossingHellos If you're heading to Kynesgrove, stick to the road. Some pretty dangerous caves between here and there. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Verner used to love exploring before we got married. Now he's become a bit of a milk drinker. Likes to stay home. DarkwaterCrossingHellos If you head straight west from where the White River splits towards Whiterun, you can get a look at the Cradlecrush giants. DarkwaterCrossingHellos You looking for work? We could use an extra hand in the mine. Just bring me any Corundum you dig up. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Annekke used to help more with the mining, but nowadays she's a bit of a bounder. DarkwaterCrossingHellos I do love my wife. Just wish she'd get her head out of the clouds. DarkwaterCrossingHellos If you want some information about the area, Annekke knows it better than anyone. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Sometimes I feel like Annekke cares more about finding new rocks than being with me. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Still shaken from all the fighting, my friend. It's been too long since I had to kill someone. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Are you all right, Gat? DarkwaterCrossingHellos Yes it can. I haven't been wrong in 50 years, and I won't be wrong tomorrow. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Oh, Rogatus! Maybe tomorrow will be pleasant for once, hmm? It can't be terrible every day! DarkwaterCrossingHellos Look at the sky. Be a terrible day tomorrow. I know it. DarkwaterCrossingHellos How do you think the crops are coming, dear? DarkwaterCrossingHellos Terrible. Only a matter of time before soldiers come and burn all my hard work into dust! DarkwaterCrossingHellos No. I have enough trouble without more mouths to feed! They're the Jarl's men, they can eat supper at the keep. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Maybe we could invite some of those nice guards over. You know, for some supper? DarkwaterCrossingHellos I don't care! Just stay away from the soldiers and keep to your business. It's the only way we'll make it through this. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Sorry, Marise. I just can't sit back and watch them treat us like a resource. This is our home! DarkwaterCrossingHellos All you'll accomplish by threatening them is ending up in the Riften dungeon. You're lucky they didn't take you seriously. DarkwaterCrossingHellos I can't stand them, they represent everything I hate about Skyrim. They're tearing the place apart! DarkwaterCrossingHellos Dravin! One of the soldiers I spoke to on the way home said you threatened them. What's come over you? DarkwaterCrossingHellos If it puts your mind at ease, I'll take it with me. I'm sorry. DarkwaterCrossingHellos That doesn't matter. All it would take is a stray wolf or a bandit crossing your path... I can't bare to lose you after everything we've done. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Husband, you worry far too much. We are within an hour's walk of Riften. DarkwaterCrossingHellos Synda... you left your dagger behind again yesterday. I told you, the road isn't safe. DarkwaterDerkeethusTakesOffTopic Thanks! I'm out! DarkwaterDerkeethusTakesOffTopic Be careful... we're certain to find more of the awakened within. DarkwaterDerkeethusTakesOffTopic It's just up here. DB01AventusGrelodAlreadyKilledBranchTopic You did? Really? DB01AventusGrelodAlreadyKilledBranchTopic This is the best news I've ever gotten! DB01AventusGrelodAlreadyKilledBranchTopic I mean, I knew the Dark Brotherhood was good... just not that good! You killed the old hag before I even asked! DB01AventusGrelodAlreadyKilledBranchTopic Oh, and please, take this as payment. It's an old family heirloom, supposed to be pretty valuable. It should fetch you a nice price. Thank you again! DB01AventusGrelodDeadBranchTopic Aha! I knew you could do it! I just knew it! I knew the Dark Brotherhood would save me! DB01AventusGrelodDeadBranchTopic Here, just like I promised. This should fetch you a nice price. And thank you. Thank you again. DB01AventusGrelodDeadGreet Well? Grelod the Kind. Is she... you know? DB01AventusLiveAloneBranchTopic She got sick, last winter, when the snows came. And she just... she never got better. Not all year. One night she fell asleep and... never woke up. DB01AventusLiveAloneBranchTopic So now I'm all alone. And the Jarl said I had to go to Honorhall Orphanage. It's not fair! DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic I have a family heirloom you can have. Supposed to be sort of valuable. I hope that's all right. DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic Finally! My prayers have been answered! DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic You've come at last! I knew you would! DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic Grelod is the headmistress of Honorhall Orphanage. But not for long. DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic It's Honorhall Orphanage, in Riften. DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic Please don't kill Constance Michel. She really is kind. DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic Well? Is it done? DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic Grelod the Kind. Is she... you know? DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic What do you want? You have no business being in here! DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic Riff-raff! That's all you Riften people are! DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic This is an orphanage, not an inn. Begone from here. DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic You don't scare me. DB01AventusPaymentBranchTopic You're trying to frighten me, hmm? Do your worst! DB01AventusQuestBranchTopic It worked! I knew you'd come, I just knew it! DB01AventusQuestBranchTopic I did the Black Sacrament, over and over. With the body, and the... the things. And then you came! An assassin from the Dark Brotherhood! DB01AventusResponse1Topic Of course you are! I prayed, and you came, and now you'll accept my contract! DB01AventusResponse2Topic It took so long. So very long. But now that you're here, you can accept my contract. DB01AventusResponse3Topic You don't have to say anything. There's no need. You're here, so I know you'll accept my contract. DB01AventusResponse4Topic My mother, she... she died. I... I'm all alone now. So they sent me to that terrible orphanage in Riften. Honorhall. DB01AventusResponse4Topic The headmistress is an evil, cruel woman. They call her Grelod the Kind. But she's not kind. She's terrible. To all of us. DB01AventusResponse4Topic So I ran away, and came home. And performed the Black Sacrament. Now you're here! And you can kill Grelod the Kind! DB01AventusYouSureBranchTopic I've never been more sure about anything in my entire life. Someone like Grelod doesn't deserve to live one more day. She's a monster. DB01ConstanceGrelodBranchTopic I will do nothing of the sort. You have no business here. I'm sorry, but you really must leave. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Miss Grelod is... well she's a terrible old crone. No person could be that cruel. I think she's part hagraven. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic She only lets us out in the yard once. In the morning. And she just stands there watching us. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Like I said. Hagraven. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic When do I get to go hunting? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic It's good to toughen her up. Not an easy world out here. Keep at it. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic She's a girl. She cried. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic That is rich. What did she do? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic And then I told her about the vampires and how much they would pay me for her. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic There you go, son. Be your own man! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic She can't tell me what to do! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic And what did you say to that? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Papa, mama's making me do kitchen work again. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Because I'm telling you to. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Why can't Froa do it? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Oh, I don't think you're old enough for that yet. You can help me salt the cheese curd. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic But papa was going to take me hunting tomorrow! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I'm going to need your help in the kitchen tomorrow. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Don't make me bring your father into this. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Because she was being stupid! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic She said you threw her into a goat pen yesterday. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic But she's so stupid! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic You need to take better care of your sister. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Well why don't you be quick about finding my book that you lost? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic No way. I'm quick! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Please take the Lexicon. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic It's yours now. I won't take it back. I won't. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Avanchnzel. Take it to Avanchnzel. You must take it back. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic And you'll be trampled to death! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I know, but... DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Not with all those soldiers all over the hold. Their horses can't see you, you know. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Mama, when can we go play in the river again? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic And a whole lot of good that's gotten us. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic But we choose our own path now. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I'm bitter because we had lives in Cyrodiil. And we came out here to be paupers. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I'll never understand why you're so bitter about everything. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Maybe we should just admit that this is a horrible place for a mill. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Well, we have to cut down something! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Gemma. This town is called "Kynesgrove." That stand of trees is Kyne's Grove. You don't honestly think you can just cut some down. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic They have to be reasonable about it at some point. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I'll let you explain that one to the Nords. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Well that's just it. Some of them might not be sacred. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Wait, so you think we'll be able to harvest some of the sacred trees up there? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic There is some good news though. I think the borders of the shrine may be smaller than we think. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic You see? That's why I didn't tell you! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Oh. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic He... thanked us for contacting him, but said they didn't need any more lumber at the moment. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Why didn't you tell me? What did he say? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic No, but his housecarl sent us a letter. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic What about Ulfric? Did you ever hear back from him? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic No, it's fine. I don't mind being poor. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Well, he is the mayor. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I suppose Kjeld asked for the usual discount? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic No! Roggi and Kjeld need some more support timbers for the mine. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Is that a joke? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic We've got a new order in. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Who could tell the difference? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I want to make money just as much as you do, but we don't want to make the Nords angry. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Well we have to harvest somewhere! This is getting absurd. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Yes, but that's too close to Mixwater Mill. We don't want to get Gilfre angry at us by stealing her trees. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic That last brigade of soldiers said there's a tall forest on the eastern edge of the White River. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Let's just not take the chance. We can talk about this later. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Oh, like the sleepy rebel supporters in this town are going to tell anyone. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Sssssh! That's not something we want everyone to be hearing. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Did I tell you I got a letter from General Tullius? They've conscripted some more archers and will need... DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I'm not building a ship, sir. I'm trying to make things grow. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I'll provide you wood and timber to make whatever riggings you'll need. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Well, some tools that aren't rusted through would be a start. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Like what? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Sir, I'm going to need some better equipment if you want me plowing the frost. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I'll do my best, sir. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I just know that our sailors are able to keep their ship quarters clean, and I expect the same of you. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Well, sir, it's a farmhouse. It's not going to be as clean as your house in the city. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic It's filthy in there! Dirt everywhere, and it looks like the dogs have the run of the place. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Oh? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Tulvur! I've just completed inspection of the farmhouse. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Oh, that's just adorable. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Healthy and strong. Ysgramor's coat's gotten so thick, he looks fat! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic And what about the dogs? How are those precious little angels? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Thank you, miss, I appreciate that. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Don't worry about him. I know you work hard, and I'm the one who gets you your money. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I got another harangue from Torsten yesterday. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic How have things been with you? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic He's just a guard captain. And not a very good one, at that. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Maybe to you, but he's just so... his story is... DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic By the gods, he's just a retired ship's captain. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic So have you ever actually spoken to Captain Lonely-Gale? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic You just need to remember that there's a war on, and firewood isn't cheap these days. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Sorry, sir. These old bones do like a bit of warmth in the evening. There's no need to make fun. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Maybe, but the way you burn through all that wood to keep the cabin toasty, they might mistake this place for Elsweyr. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Oh, no skeevers out here, sir. They can't stand the cold. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Make sure the back fence is repaired. I swear I saw some skeevers in nibbling the leaves yesterday. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Yes, wouldn't want to miss the lush summer we have ahead. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I wasn't wanting to get anyone in trouble, sir. Just wanting to get the new planting started, is all. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Yes, but that fool Endario can't get it in. I'll thrash him when I get back to the city, don't you worry. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I was wondering if you had ordered the shipment of that frostwheat, sir. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic There are places in the world that aren't wrapped in ice, you know. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Oh, my, I hadn't thought of that. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Firstly, I've never even seen Morrowind. Secondly, in volcanic soil the plants practically grow themselves. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I'll bet this is better than trying to grow something in Morrowind, though, isn't it? DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Oh dear, I hadn't thought of that. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Then you've salted it and nothing will grow at all. Genius. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Right, but if you plow the soil with fire salts... DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I keep telling you, without a warming enchantment, it will never grow past your ankles. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Now, I've been reading about the best ways to grow corn in permafrost... DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Come on, we just need a little elbow grease. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic The ground is practically frozen. We can't dig down far enough. DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic Well of course, not with an attitude like that! DB01FrancoisGrelodBranchTopic I don't think we're going to get those potatoes to come in. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic What do you want? You have no business being in here. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic All right. I'll take care of it. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic I'll handle it. No need to blow things out of proportion. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic Please, just let me handle it. It's not a problem. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic Okay, okay. I'll deal with it. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic Samuel is getting to be a problem. Fancies himself something of a "leader" to the other children. Put an end to the nonsense, or I will. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic Hroar's crying is keeping me up at night. I'll give you one chance to talk the tears out of him, or he's getting the belt. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic I can't abide Samuel's constant talk of his parents. "They're coming for me." "This is only temporary." The boy must accept his fate. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic Seven septims are missing from my purse. I know it was Runa. You get those coins back, or by Stendarr, I'll see her rot in the dungeon. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic This place is filthy. I've a mind to cancel all town privileges unless those brats start pulling their weight. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic The stores are running low. We'll need to water down the milk again. Besides, don't want the little darlings getting fat. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic We haven't had an adoption in months. At this rate, we'll be stuck with these brats forever. We need to get the word out. A sale, if need be. DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic Yes, Grelod? DB01GrelodFirstGreetBranchTopic Constance! DB01GrelodThreaten2BranchTopic Aretino? Why that little bastard! You tell him I'm coming for him! And when I find him, it will be the beating of his miserable life! DB01GrelodThreaten3BranchTopic What are you staring at, you worthless piece of gutter trash? I simply must start locking the doors again... DB01GrelodThreatenBranchTopic The what? Why how dare you! I will not be intimidated in my own orphanage! Get out! Get out this instant! DB01HroarGrelodBranchTopic I ain't afraid of the old hag. Still, I wish Constance was in charge. She treats us real good. DB01HroarGrelodBranchTopic Constance, sometimes she gives me little snacks. Which is good, 'cause we only get but one meal. Late, too, in the afternoon. DB01HroarGrelodBranchTopic I'm a growing boy. I need as much food as I can get. DB01MiscCiceroGreetBranchTopic Agh! Bother and befuddle! Stuck here! Stuck! My mother, my poor mother. Unmoving. At rest, but too still! DB01MiscCiceroGreetBranchTopic The farmer is at his farm! Where else would he be? Loreius is his name. Talk to him. Convince him to help poor Cicero. DB01MiscCiceroGreetBranchTopic Poor mother... she's been waiting here so long... Stupid farmer and his stupid tools! Why won't he help us? DB01MiscCiceroGreetBranchTopic Poor mother... Her new home seems so very far... DB01MiscCiceroGreetBranchTopic Unfair! Unjust! Cicero has done nothing wrong! Loreius will pay for his treachery! Oh, how he will pay... And you! You were no help! Not at all! DB01MiscCiceroGreetBranchTopic I will wait for Loreius! Oh yes, mother and I will wait right here, right here until he fixes our wheel. DB01MiscCiceroPlayerResponse1 Poor Cicero is stuck. Can't you see? I was transporting my dear, sweet mother. Well, not her. Her corpse! She's quite dead. DB01MiscCiceroPlayerResponse1 I'm taking mother to a new home. A new crypt. But... aggh! Wagon wheel! Damnedest wagon wheel! It broke! Don't you see? DB01MiscCiceroPlayerResponse2 Oh. Oh yes! Yes, the kindly stranger can certainly help! DB01MiscCiceroPlayerResponse2 Go to the farm - the Loreius Farm. Just over there, off the road. Talk to Loreius. He has tools! He can help me! But he won't! He refuses! DB01MiscCiceroPlayerResponse2 Convince Loreius to fix my wheel! Do that, and poor Cicero will reward you. With coin! Gleamy, shiny coin! DB01MiscCiceroPlayerSuccessTopic You... you did? He has? DB01MiscCiceroPlayerSuccessTopic Oh stranger! You have made Cicero so happy! So jubilant and ecstatic! But more! Even more! My mother thanks you! DB01MiscCiceroPlayerSuccessTopic Here, here. For your troubles! Shiny, clinky gold! A few coins for a kind deed! And thank you! Thank you again. DB01MiscCurweGreetBranchTopic You need something talk to my husband. Vantus Loreius. Or just Loreius, if it's all the same to you. DB01MiscGuardGreetBranchTopic You need something? DB01MiscGuardGreetBranchTopic You don't want to go up to that farmhouse, citizen. It's a terrible sight. The farmer and his wife, slaughtered in the night. So many knife wounds... DB01MiscGuardGreetBranchTopic Don't worry, citizen. I'm on top of that little matter we discussed. DB01MiscGuardGreetBranchTopic I'll soon arrange transportation for our little friend. Don't worry, he'll rot in a cell and pay for what he's done. DB01MiscGuardPlayerCiceroFramed1 Did he now? DB01MiscGuardPlayerCiceroFramed1 Nobody pilfers property on my watch. DB01MiscGuardPlayerCiceroFramed1 My thanks for bringing this to my attention, citizen. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. DB01MiscGuardPlayerCiceroFramed2 What? DB01MiscGuardPlayerCiceroFramed2 How dare that little fool! And right under my nose! DB01MiscGuardPlayerCiceroFramed2 My thanks for bringing this to my attention, citizen. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. DB01MiscGuardPlayerCiceroFramed3 What? DB01MiscGuardPlayerCiceroFramed3 An assault. On my watch. By the gods, he'll not get away with this. DB01MiscGuardPlayerCiceroFramed3 My thanks for bringing this to my attention, citizen. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. DB01MiscGuardPlayerResponseCiceroReport What about him? DB01MiscGuardPlayerResponseNeverMind Bah! Stop wasting my time! DB01MiscGuardPlayerResponseNoProb Well all right, then. DB01MiscGuardPlayerResponseProb Would you now? DB01MiscGuardPlayerResponseProb Well, spit it out. What's the matter? DB01MiscLoreiusGreetBranchTopic Oh, for the love of Mara. What now? DB01MiscLoreiusGreetBranchTopic You need to report that crazy jester to the guard. He should be patrolling the road. DB01MiscLoreiusGreetBranchTopic I thought we'd talked enough. Unless you've reconsidered my offer? That Cicero needs sortin'... DB01MiscLoreiusGreetBranchTopic Well? Is it done? Have you reported the fool to the guard? DB01MiscLoreiusGreetBranchTopic Ha! That'll teach the little jester to go bothering the decent, hardworking folk of Skyrim. Fool never should have come here. DB01MiscLoreiusGreetBranchTopic Little fool's going to experience the hard reality of Skyrim justice, eh? DB01MiscLoreiusGreetBranchTopic You can tell Cicero I'll be along presently. I just need to do a couple things here first, and gather my tools. DB01MiscLoreiusGreetBranchTopic Just need to gather my tools and finish up a couple of things. No worries - I'll see to Cicero, make sure that wagon gets fixed. DB01MiscLoreiusHelpCiceroResponse What? DB01MiscLoreiusHelpCiceroResponse And just who in Mara's name are you, anyway? Hmm? Come here, telling me my business. And for what? To help a... a... a fool! DB01MiscLoreiusHelpCiceroResponseb Look, I... I... DB01MiscLoreiusHelpCiceroResponseb You're right. You're right. Feller might be nutters, might not. But fact is, he needs help. I turn him away, what kind of man am I, hmm? DB01MiscLoreiusHelpCiceroResponseb Look, um... Thanks. And I'm sorry for my unneighborly reaction. If you talk to Cicero, you be sure and tell him I'll be down to help soon. DB01MiscLoreiusHelpCiceroResponseb Look out! The prisoners are loose! DB01MiscLoreiusHelpCiceroResponseb Dovahkiin. You have tasted the Voice of the Greybeards, and passed through unscathed. High Hrothgar is open to you. DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerCiceroReported Ha ha! Oh, I knew I had a good feeling about you! DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerCiceroReported Here, my friend. A few septims, to show my thanks, hmm? And may that twisted little jester rot in a cell for a fortnight! DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerResponse1 That Cicero feller? DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerResponse1 Hmph. Tell me something I don't know. Crazy fool's already asked me about five times. Seems he's not satisfied with my answer. DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerResponse1 Why can't he just leave us alone? DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerResponse1 Is something wrong. "Is something wrong?" she asks. Yes, something is bloody well wrong! DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerResponse1 Or maybe you missed the demented little man in the jester's garb, down by the road? Goes by the name of Cicero? DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerResponse1 Crazy fool's asked me to fix his broken wagon wheel five times. He won't take no for an answer. Why can't he just leave us alone? DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerResponse1 Is something wrong. "Is something wrong?" he asks. Yes, something is bloody well wrong! DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerResponse1 Or maybe you missed the demented little man in the jester's garb, down by the road? Goes by the name of Cicero? DB01MiscLoreiusPlayerResponse1 Crazy fool's asked me to fix his broken wagon wheel five times. He won't take no for an answer. Why can't he just leave us alone? DB01MiscLoreiusScrewCiceroNo Hmph. Fine. Suit yourself. But you're wrong, anyway. Just look at the fool. I don't know what it is, but he's damn well guilty of something. DB01MiscLoreiusScrewCiceroYes Ha! Wonderful! DB01MiscLoreiusScrewCiceroYes Like I said, the guard is down by the road. You really can't miss him. DB01MiscLoreiusScrewCiceroYes You tell him that jester is up to no good, and he'll deal with it. Then come back here, and I'll toss a few coins your way, yeah? DB01MiscLoreiusShadyShared Well, there is something. There's a guard, patrols the road that crazy jester is on. He passes by pretty often. DB01MiscLoreiusShadyShared You could report the fool. You know, say he's done something against the law. That will at least get rid of him for me. What do you say? DB01RunaGrelodBranchTopic I hate her. Everyone hates her. She's the meanest person I ever met. Sometimes she even locks us in the... room. DB01RunaGrelodBranchTopic Constance tries to stop her, and is real good to us, but it's never enough. DB01SamuelGrelodBranchTopic Sometimes, when she goes to her room to work or sleep, I slip out for a bit. Noontime, every day - that's when I hit the streets. DB01SamuelGrelodBranchTopic A boy's gotta make a livin', right? DB02AstridAssassin You see, that little Aretino boy was looking for the Dark Brotherhood. For me, and my associates. DB02AstridAssassin Grelod the Kind was, by all rights, a Dark Brotherhood contract. A kill... that you stole. DB02AstridAssassin A kill you must repay. DB02AstridWalkAwayTopic I'll cut right to it. You murdered the old woman in the orphanage. You owe the Dark Brotherhood a kill. I've come to collect. DB02AstridWalkAwayTopic One of these poor sods has a contract out on their life. Which one is it? Any idea? Make your choice. Make your kill. And you get to walk away. DB02AstridWalkAwayTopic Not so tough now, are you? DB02Captive1Intimidate Please! I don't know! I mean, I'm a soldier. I've killed people. When I was ordered to. Maybe there were some times... some times I got carried away? DB02Captive1Intimidate But war is war. Right? Nobody could blame me for that. Could they? DB02Captive1Persuade Okay, well... I guess it's possible. I've been selling my sword arm for years now. Killed a lot of people. Could be someone wanted revenge. DB02Captive1Persuade But... But you're not going to kill me. Right? DB02Captive1Persuade I'll need to lock up the store. Thank you so much for agreeing to help us. DB02Captive1Persuade I should lock up the store now. Thank you again. DB02Captive1Persuade Mara, I forgot how late it was. We'll need to lock up the shop. DB02Captive1Persuade Mara, I forgot how late it was. Need to lock up the shop. DB02Captive1Persuade Many used to come to these caves. The forgotten. The wretched. DB02Captive2Intimidate I'm kneeling here with my hands bound and a sack over my head, and you have the gall to ask me that? DB02Captive2Intimidate What do you think, genius? DB02Captive2Persuade I'm a woman living in Skyrim with six children and no husband. I don't have the time or patience to be "nice." DB02Captive2Persuade Do some people look down on me? Have I made some enemies? You're damn right. DB02Captive3Intimidate Fool! Don't you get it? I live in the shadow of death every day. A knife in every doorway, a nocked arrow on every rooftop! DB02Captive3Intimidate If one of my enemies wouldn't pay to have me killed, I'd take it as a personal insult. DB02Captive3Persuade He he he he he he he. The real question is, "Would someone pay to have me killed... again." DB02Captive3Persuade A day goes by without someone trying to gut me in the street, I get disappointed. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic What? Oh gods, I don't want to die... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Excuse me? What kind of question is that? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Me? Ha! Are you serious? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Did you ever want to return to your stronghold? Go back to your family? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic You didn't die. A battle you live through is a great honor. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic There you are. Look, I... I just wanted to say thanks for coming to find me. Back in Dawnstar. Crazy jester finally met his match, am I right? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic The anticipation is killing me. Can you figure out who has the contract? Which one will you choose? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic That twisted jester will pay for what's he's done... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I'm afraid I don't have a primary contract for you yet. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Why am I not surprised to learn Cicero is alive? I still can't stomach the little clown, but if you've welcomed him here, I won't question it. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Maybe I'll make the Potage le Magnifique, hmm? You may have killed the Gourmet, but true artistry never dies. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Maybe I'll make the Potage le Magnifique, hmm? But not the way you make it! Ha ha ha. No, certainly not... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I've been expecting you. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Should have figured the little lunatic would completely snap. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic So, what of the old beggar, Narfi? Is it done? Has he groveled for his last septim? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic How went your meeting with Ennodius Papius? Did you prove his paranoia legitimate? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I see you're back from Dawnstar. Beitild lies dead, I hope? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic You're alive. Then I guess you haven't paid a visit to the vampire yet, hmm? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Please tell me you flayed that horrible bard alive and made a drum from his skin... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Taken care of that layabout Deekus, yet? Or does the idea of killing a fellow Argonian make your scales crawl? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic No new boots? Does this mean the Argonian is still alive? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic You smell like dead cat. Can I assume Ma'randru-jo has been taken care of? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic How went your encounter with Ma'randru-jo? Back in Hammerfell, I always loved watching two cats rip each other to shreds... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Hmph. No arrows protruding from your skull... Can I assume Anoriath is dead, then? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Ah, back from Fort Graymoor. The old servant has been put out of her misery, I hope? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic So, you've returned from Mzinchaleft! A Dwarven ruin... what an exotic place for a kill. Assuming Maluril is actually... dead? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Back from your little vacation in Falkreath. So, did you enjoy the sights, sample the food... kill the housecarl? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic You haven't faced that pirate captain yet, have you? Safia? I only ask because you're still alive... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic So many contracts, so little time... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Will there ever come a time when the people of Skyrim no longer need our services? I think not. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Still here? What's the matter, can't handle what I'm throwing your way? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I wish I had more contracts to dole out. You handled those jobs like a born killer. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic You reek of death, my friend. I salute you. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Remember the passphrase: "Silence, my brother." DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic The Sanctuary is in the southern Pine Forest. Close to the road, but away from prying eyes. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Have you talked to Nazir? He's sure to have some additional contracts for you. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I don't have anything for you just yet. Please, talk to Nazir, and see what he has available. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I'm still trying to find a suitable contract for you. Continue to work with Nazir on the, um, supplemental assignments. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic The Keeper will be arriving soon, with the body of the Night Mother. So many preparations to be made... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Go, take care of the Muiri contract. There will be plenty more, I promise you. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Why are you still standing there? Hurry, before the meeting begins. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Speak with Nazir and see if he has any contracts available. I need time to read Motierre's letter. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic What are you waiting for? My husband is out there somewhere with that lunatic. Find them! Do what you've been tasked to do! DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Shouldn't you be out ruining someone's special day? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Ah, good to see you, brother. Gearing up to kill the Emperor? Exciting times. Exciting times, indeed. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Ah, good to see you, sister. Gearing up to kill the Emperor? Exciting times. Exciting times, indeed. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Cicero is at your service, oh great and powerful Listener! DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Let's kill someone. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Citizen? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic You must be lost. The tavern is down the road a piece. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I'm fairly certain you wandered into the wrong building, friend... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Yes, Listener? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I am yours to command. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic How may I serve you, my Listener? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Yes, Listener? How may I serve you? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Listener. It is an honor to stand before you. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic How may I serve you, my Listener? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Please... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic What is it you want? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Just... just stop. And I'll tell you where I've hidden my treasure. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic It's... in a hollowed-out rock. In the tundra. A bit west of Whiterun. Now please... please stop. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Oh gods, you've taken everything I have. Just kill me and be done with it... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Why are you people doing this? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Is it information you want? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic This... this is about the inheritance, isn't it? All right! I'll tell you where I've hidden it. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic It's in a hollowed-out tree stump. In the marsh, south of Solitude. Now please, you'll let me go now. Right? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Why don't you be a dear and let me go now. All right? I won't say a word to anyone. Our little secret. I promise. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic You... you can't do this to me... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Do you have any idea who I am? When my father hears about this, he will gut you. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Ah, now I understand. This is about that my father's hidden cache, isn't it? The dowry for my wedding. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Ha! Well it's safely hidden away, in a hollowed-out tree stump. Just outside Riften, tucked away nice and secure. You'll never find it. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Damn it. I gave it away, didn't I? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I'll tell you anything. Anything! Just please stop... hurting me... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I just... can't take the pain. Not a second longer. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I'll give you money. Treasure. I have some things hidden away. Take them all. They're yours. Just please... stop. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Just north of Windhelm. There's a hollowed-out rock. I have some things hidden in there. Take them! They're yours. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I've told you everything I can. I don't know what else you could want... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic So... wait. Cicero is alive? And we're all friends again? I swear, I can hardly keep up... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic You know, I can still sell you some potions and such, or train you in alchemy. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I like it here. We should have moved to Dawnstar ages ago. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I can't wait to see what the future brings. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Do you need alchemy components? Or training? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Hello, Listener. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic What do you think? Some more Nirnroot, maybe? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I learned to cook from my father. Ah, but that was a long time ago. Before, you know... I killed him. But let's not talk about that now. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic I'll follow you till I'm dust in the breeze. You do realize that? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic This place is already starting to feel like home. Must be all the bloodstains. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic What do you need, Listener? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Listener, please... if Cicero is going to be a part of this Sanctuary I'll accept that. But can't you do something about the... dancing? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Got to admit, I find the Night Mother's presence... comforting. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic The new initiates are working out well. Eager, dedicated, and not afraid to get their hands wet. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Things proceeding well, Listener? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Yes, Listener? DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic The Dark Brotherhood is on the rise again, Listener. I can feel it. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Cicero can talk for a moment. Just a moment. Then Mother must be... tended to. DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Oh, I do wish to get to know you better. But I must tend to mother. Maybe we can talk for just a moment... DB02CaptivePayToKillTopicTopic Yes, Listener? How can Cicero be of service? DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic Please! Release me! Cut my bonds! DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic You cut these bindings this minute! You hear me? You cut these bindings right now! DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic Come now, my friend. Haven't we played this game long enough? Untie me, and we can all go our separate ways. DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic Thank Shor I have a lot of years before I have to worry about that! DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic She'll make a fine wife someday. DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic Aye. She's helping me in the house, and even helps her father at the forge. DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic It seems like Dorthe grows a head taller every season. DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic So that's a no I take it? DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic Drunk again, Embry? Don't let Alvor hear you talking to me that way. He'll stick your head in his forge. DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic Care to have a drink with me, sweet Sigrid? DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic Woman, you'll be the death of me yet. Fine, take your time. I'll just die of thirst in the heat of this forge. DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic Don't you sweet talk me, Alvor. Not after last night. I'll bring you water when I'm done with my other chores. DB02CaptiveReleaseBranchTopic Sigrid! Love of my life! When you get a spare moment, I could use some water. DB02CaptiveWhoAreYouBranchTopic My name is Fultheim. I'm a soldier. Well, mercenary, really. You know, a... a sellsword. I've lived in Skyrim all my life. DB02CaptiveWhoAreYouBranchTopic That's all! I'm a nobody, really. So can't you just let me go? DB02CaptiveWhoAreYouBranchTopic None of your damned business who I am! If you're going to kill me, just do it already! DB02CaptiveWhoAreYouBranchTopic As Mara is my witness, if I didn't have this hood on right now I would spit right in your face... DB02CaptiveWhoAreYouBranchTopic Ahhh... Vasha, at your service. Obtainer of goods, taker of lives, and defiler of daughters. DB02CaptiveWhoAreYouBranchTopic Have you not heard of me? Perhaps I will have my people carve my name in your corpse, as a reminder. DB02PlayerReleaseResponse Thank you! Thank you! I'll never speak of this to anyone, I promise! DB02PlayerReleaseResponse Well it's about damn time. Capturing a woman from her home, keeping her bound like an animal. Ridiculous... DB02PlayerReleaseResponse Ah, you see? That wasn't so hard, now was it? Let's the two of us just forget we ever met, hmm? DB03AlainPitTauntBranchTopic Well. You must have all those annoying gods on your side to have made it this far, whoever you are. Even I have to admit, that's pretty impressive. DB03AlainPitTauntBranchTopic You had your chance to talk! DB03AlainPitTauntResponse1 Muiri? Muiri? So, what, you're the cow's champion? Oh, now that is rich. Well then, champion, let's get this over with. DB03AlainPitTauntResponse2 A joke? Alain Dufont... a joke? I am a king on my throne, and you, my friend... you will die slowly, and painfully. DB03AlainPitTauntResponse3 Ha! My opponent is so paralyzed with terror, no words will come. Let's be done with it, then! DB03AstridCompleteResponse1 Of course, dear. Of course. And, from what my little ravens tell me, you handled yourself quite well. DB03AstridCompleteResponse1 Now, I need your assistance with a matter of a more... personal nature. DB03AstridCompleteResponse2 Oh, very good. Very good indeed. You, my dear, are going to fit in here quite nicely... DB03AstridCompleteResponse2 Now, I need your assistance with a matter of a more... personal nature. DB03AstridCompleteResponse3 Very well. I respect your discretion. DB03AstridCompleteResponse3 Now, I need your assistance with a matter of a more... personal nature. DB03JobDoneTopic That bastard got exactly what he deserved. DB03JobDoneTopic But last I heard, Nilsine is still alive. So I guess you decided not to kill her as well. I have to admit... I'm disappointed. DB03JobDoneTopic Here's the payment for killing Alain. And nothing for letting Nilsine live. Just remember, that was your decision. DB03JobDoneTopic Thank you. That bastard got exactly what he deserved. DB03JobDoneTopic And... I heard about Nilsine. You have more than fulfilled your part of the bargain. Please, take this - as payment, and a symbol of my affection. DB03JobDoneTopic I'll never forget you. DB03MuiriAlainDeadBranchTopic Well, what news? Is Alain... DB03MuiriAlainWhyBranchTopic I went to Windhelm to see the Shatter-Shields. They were old and dear friends, and... in mourning. Friga was killed recently. Murdered... DB03MuiriAlainWhyBranchTopic I met Alain in the tavern, while I was... drinking my sadness away. He was handsome, and charming. He said I was the "beautiful lily" of his dreams. DB03MuiriAlainWhyBranchTopic Alain made all the pain just... go away. But it was all lies! Alain used me. He ruined my name, destroyed my friendship with the Shatter-Shields... DB03MuiriAlainWhyBranchTopic Do you know why Alain was in Windhelm? He heard about Friga's murder. He wanted to befriend the family, in their grief... and rob them blind. DB03MuiriAlainWhyBranchTopic Alain used me to get close to my friends. And now they all think I'm some kind of... monster. Alain Dufont took my life. And now I'm taking his. DB03MuiriChoices I didn't know it when we were... with each other... but Alain is actually the leader of a band of cutthroats. Bandits. DB03MuiriChoices They're holed up in some old dwarven ruin - Raldbthar. It's near Windhelm. They use it as their base. It's where they stage their raids. DB03MuiriChoices I want you to go to that ruin, find Alain Dufont, and kill him. I don't care about his friends. Do whatever you want with them. But Alain has to die! DB03MuiriChoices Yes, my lord. DB03MuiriChoices Our coffers are nearly empty. I can scarcely afford to pay the guards, and we need every one of them in these troubled times. DB03MuiriChoices You'll have to make do with what we have, Proventus. DB03MuiriChoices My lord, since Ulfric Stormcloak's uprising, the cost of goods has doubled. I'll need more coin if I'm to provision us properly. DB03MuiriChoices Purchase more supplies, then. That's your job as Steward, isn't it? Why do you trouble me with these details? DB03MuiriChoices My lord, our provisions are running dangerously low. Our stores of meat, wine and grain are all but depleted. DB03MuiriChoices That might be so, but it will never stop me from trying. DB03MuiriChoices Damn it, woman, I'm the Jarl of Whiterun! I won't apologize for talking to my people. You can't protect me every moment of the day. DB03MuiriChoices These secret visits to the tavern will make you an easy target for an enemy assassin. You should have told me first. DB03MuiriChoices Heard about that, did you? Yes, I went out for a pint or two. What of it? DB03MuiriChoices Balgruuf, did you slip out again last night for a drink at the Bannered Mare? DB03MuiriChoices Nonsense. If Balgruuf falls, someone will take his place, for better or worse. In the meantime, we have a war to win. And win we must. DB03MuiriChoices And if an assassin slips past the night watch, we won't have a Jarl at all. Without Balgruuf's leadership, Whiterun will descend into chaos. DB03MuiriChoices What would you have me do? If we do not send men to fight in the war, you'll find yourself guarding one of Ulfric's men. DB03MuiriChoices I am concerned about the Jarl's safety. Too many of our guards have been redeployed to fight the Stormcloaks. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Why are you looking at me like that? DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic We all are, my dear, but sometimes the Divines reward those who don't seem to deserve it. Call it dumb luck. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Sometimes I'm surprised he's still the chief. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Oh, you've seen your father just trying to chase a skeever from his house. He's a bit soft. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic It's a wonderful house, my love. If you don't mind, I'm going to start a small store. Something to do whenever you're on the road. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic You have quite a house. I'm thinking of setting up a small store here. Sell odds and ends. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Strange house, but strong. Solid. I think I'll open a store. A task to tend to whenever you're away. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic This house of yours is wondrous, at least to these eyes. I've thought about starting a store. Something to do here when you're out. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic This house is huge. I'll be tripping my feet all over this place. Hey, I think I'll start a little business here. Something to do, you know? DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic I've seen bigger houses, but it's yours, so I like it. Now, I think I need something to do if you're ever away, so I'll be opening a store. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic A good house. You chose well. I don't like sitting still, so I've decided to open a store. Buy and sell whatever is needed. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Hello, my love. Back from some adventure I bet. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic It's good to see you again, dear. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic It's pleasing to see you again. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Ah, it's my love, come to visit. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Hello, dear. I haven't been drinking too much, if that's what you're thinking. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic You and I, we're the only people in Skyrim worth loving. That's what I think. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Good to see you, dear. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Yes, my love? What do you need? DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Do you need anything, my love? DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Speak. You can ask anything of me, love. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Is there anything you need, dearest? DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic I love you. You know that, right? DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic What do you need, love? Ask anything. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Yes, love? DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic What about my father? Was he a good hunter? DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Oh of course. My mistake. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic That's what everyone keeps saying. But you didn't kill her. That's what I was asking. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic They are indeed. Nothing like your mother, though! DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic They're fearsome! DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic Oh, probably a troll. DB03MuiriContractBranchTopic What's the most dangerous beast you've ever killed? DB03MuiriContractDBComeTopic1 The Dark Brotherh... Oh. Oh! I... my goodness, you're really here! The Black Sacrament. It actually worked? DB03MuiriContractDetails1 What I need? What I need is for Alain Dufont to die! I want him hunted down and murdered like the dog he is! DB03MuiriContractDetails2a What? DB03MuiriContractDetails2a Alain is... is dead? DB03MuiriContractDetails2a I... I'm grateful. It's just this... this isn't at all how I imagined things would play out. There was Alain, but I was considering more, and... DB03MuiriContractDetails2a Ah, well. Dead is dead. Right? My thanks to you, assassin. Here's the gold I was going to pay for the job. You earned it, after all. DB03MuiriContractDetails3 Excellent. Once Alain is dead, I'll pay you. In gold. I've saved up a bit. I hope that'll do. DB03MuiriContractDetails3 But, well... There is one more thing. If you're interested? DB03MuiriKillNilsineTopic If you can... I want you to kill someone else, as well. You don't have to - not as part of our deal. But if you do... I'll pay you even more. DB03MuiriKillNilsineTopic It's Nilsine Shatter-Shield, in Windhelm. If Nilsine dies, too... I'll make it worth your while. DB03MuiriKillNilsineTopic Isn't there some business you should be tending to? DB03MuiriNilsineWhyBranchTopic Don't you see? I was like a daughter to Tova. A sister to Nilsine and Friga. But the family refuses to believe my innocence. No matter what I say. DB03MuiriNilsineWhyBranchTopic Couldn't they understand that I was used? That I was grieving for Friga, too? No... they treated me like garbage, threw me away. DB03MuiriNilsineWhyBranchTopic With Nilsine dead, maybe then Tova will realize what she's lost, hmm? Maybe then she'll see that I was just as much a daughter as the others. DB03MuiriNilsineWhyBranchTopic And if not, may she drown in her own tears. DB03MuiriPoisonBranchTopic I planned to kill Alain myself, you know. Nilsine, too. But lost my nerve. I even brewed a special poison, Lotus Extract. Maybe you could use it? DB03MuiriPoisonBranchTopic Just coat your weapon with it. Then... you get the idea. DB03NilsineTauntBranchTopic What? Did... you need something? DB03NilsineTauntBranchTopic I have nothing to say to you. Just... leave me alone. DB03NilsineTauntResponse1 Muiri? I can't believe my family trusted that backstabbing little strumpet. You tell her she's dead to us. You hear me? Dead! DB03NilsineTauntResponse2 What kind of cruel, horrible person are you? My sister was murdered. Do you have any idea what that's like? What I'm going through? DB03NilsineTauntResponse3 You just going to stand there, gawking? Go away. You're starting to... frighten me. DB04aAstridBeginTopic Look. Something is happening here. I'm not sure entirely what that something is, but... Well, we need to find out. DB04aAstridBeginTopic If the Night Mother really did give you an order to talk to a contact, we'd be mad to ignore it. DB04aAstridBeginTopic And I think we'd both agree, Cicero's brought quite enough madness to this Sanctuary. DB04aAstridBeginTopic So go. Go to Volunruud. It's a crypt, pretty far to the northeast. Talk to this Amaund Motierre. And let's see where all this leads. Hmm? DB04aDelvinAmuletBranchTopic Let's see... DB04aDelvinAmuletBranchTopic Where oh where did you get this? Don't answer - I don't want to know. DB04aDelvinAmuletBranchTopic This is an amulet of the Emperor's Elder Council. Specially crafted for each member. Worth a small fortune. Ain't somethin' you'd give up lightly. DB04aDelvinAmuletBranchTopic Look, it ain't my business ta tell the Dark Brotherhood its business, but if you killed a member of the Elder Council, you'd better belie- DB04aDelvinAmuletBuyBranchTopic Buy it? This? An Elder Council amulet? DB04aDelvinAmuletBuyBranchTopic Oh yes. Oh yes, indeed. DB04aDelvinAmuletBuyBranchTopic Wait just one moment... DB04aDelvinAmuletBuyBranchTopic Here. It's a letter of credit. Usable, by Astrid only, for any service or item I can provide. As per our standard arrangement. DB04aDelvinAmuletBuyBranchTopic You bring that back to your lovely mistress. With my regards. DB04aDelvinFirstBranchTopic Oh. Oh I see. DB04aDelvinFirstBranchTopic Well, you're makin' friends all over, ain't ya? DB04aDelvinFirstBranchTopic So, uh... how is Astrid doing' these days? Tell her to stop by some time. We can have a drink. Catch up. DB04aDelvinFirstBranchTopic Ah, but business! Of course. What kind of business? DB04aDelvinFirstBranchTopic Oh. Oh I see. DB04aDelvinFirstBranchTopic Well now, how is Astrid doin' these days, uh? Tell her to stop by some time. We can have a drink. Catch up. DB04aDelvinFirstBranchTopic Ah, but we can discuss that later, yeah? What does the Brotherhood need? DB04aDelvinMalloryGreetTopicTopic Somethin' ya need? Anything for the guild. DB04aDelvinMalloryGreetTopicTopic Ah, now you must be lost. Best ya scurry off while you're able. The Ratway, well, it has a habit of swallowin' up the uninvited. DB04aDelvinMalloryGreetTopicTopic Poor Cicero. Dear Cicero. Such a humble servant. But he will never hear my voice. For he is not the Listener. DB04aDelvinMalloryGreetTopicTopic Rexus. The items. DB04aRexusGreetTopic I have vowed to serve Amaund Motierre until my dying breath. Best remember that. DB04aRexusGreetTopic Here. DB04AstridAmaundReadyTopic We need to talk. DB04AstridCiceroPlanBranchTopic Isn't it obvious? As the Night Mother's Keeper, he believes he's entitled to the rule of this Sanctuary. DB04AstridCiceroPlanBranchTopic Cicero will cite our independence as the need to revert to the Old Ways. He'll claim we're undisciplined, unruly. Heretical, even. DB04AstridCiceroPlanBranchTopic Ironically, the Night Mother could prove to be just as much a victim. The queen in a fool's twisted game of chess. DB04AstridCiceroTalkBranchTopic That's the real question, isn't it? The jester enters, seals the door, and the conversation begins. So someone must be waiting for him inside. DB04AstridCiceroTalkBranchTopic Any one of us could enter that chamber silently. Unnoticed. But who amongst us would dare conspire against the Sanctuary? DB04AstridCiceroTalkBranchTopic The very thought breaks my heart. DB04AstridHideResponse1 Be that as it may, we have no other choice. You need to remain unseen! Now go! Before they meet. And report back to me with whatever you learn. DB04AstridHideResponse2 They'll never think to check it. Who in their right mind would hide inside? Now go. Before they meet. And report back to me with whatever you learn. DB04AstridHideResponse3 No objections, then? Good. Go now. Before they meet. And report back to me with whatever you learn. DB04AstridMoreInfoBranchTopic I don't believe so. But I'll be able to instruct you further after you've returned from the chamber. It depends on what you learn. DB04AstridMoreInfoBranchTopic And make haste! You must be in place before Cicero and his... ally arrive! They could be planning another meeting at any time! DB04AstridMotierreAcceptTopic You're damn right we'll accept it. If we pull this off, the Dark Brotherhood will know a fear and respect we haven't seen in centuries. DB04AstridMotierreAcceptTopic You think I'd abandon an opportunity to lead my Family to glory? DB04AstridMotierreAcceptTopic But this is all so much to take in. I need time to read the letter, and figure out where we go from here. And this amulet. Hmmm... DB04AstridMotierreEvidenceTopic By Sithis, you're not joking. DB04AstridMotierreEvidenceTopic To kill the Emperor of Tamriel... The Dark Brotherhood hasn't done such a thing since the assassination of Pelagius. DB04AstridMotierreEvidenceTopic As a matter of fact, no one has dared assassinate an Emperor of Tamriel since the murder of Uriel Septim, and that was two hundred years ago... DB04AstridMotierreNightMotherTopic No, she certainly wouldn't. And... for whatever reason, she chose to relay Motierre's information to you. DB04AstridMotierreNightMotherTopic I don't know exactly what's going on here, if you're the Listener, or this is some fluke, or what. But what we now have before us... DB04AstridMotierreNoJokeTopic What's this? DB04AstridMotierreReturnBranchTopic You're back. Good. All right, so? Did you meet this Motierre? What did he want? DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic This is all just too much, too fast. Go get some work from Nazir. I need time to... to think... DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Maybe, but they wouldn't taste as good as a loaf of fresh-baked pumpernickel. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Exactly. Road patrols were cut in half because the Jarl needed soldiers. Now the bandits are bolder than ever. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic They've been raiding the farms for food, and supplies are scarcer than ever. Maybe I should sell swords and armor, instead. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Let me guess, they're saying it's because of this trouble with the Stormcloaks? DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic I had to. The farmers are charging me double for the produce I sell. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Did you raise your prices, Carlotta? DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic You're right. I'll have to remember that the next time I get a shipment in. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic I'm sure you could charge double for those and still sell them all within a week. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Aren't they? I always set some aside for myself when the traders bring them up from the south. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Those green apples you sold me the other day were delicious. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic The gods smile on them who show charity. Best you remember that. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Make it quick, then. I don't want your stink driving my customers away. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic That's right, mock the town beggar like everyone else. But I've got a right to browse, don't I? I ain't hurtin' anyone. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic How goes the begging today, Brenuin? DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Best you forget whatever you think you saw, elf. Such idle talk can prove hazardous to one's health. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Would your good friend be named Jon, by any chance? I've spied the two of you talking quite intimately. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Glad to see you're making new friends. I know Jon's death was hard on you. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Got any sausages? I'm cooking a special breakfast for a friend, and they're his favorite. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Ah, Olfina. How may I help you? DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Make it quick, and there might be a bowl of hot stew in it for you. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Certainly. I'll be sure to bring some back for you the next time I go hunting. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic I've got a recipe for venison stew that I want to try out. Will you have venison anytime soon? DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic By Ysmir, I will. Gods know it's been too long since I tasted real meat. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic If they do, promise you'll actually purchase something for once. DB04AstridNeedTimeBranchTopic Just browsin' today. If the gods be kind, someone will take mercy on me and spare a few septims. DB04AstridPlayerGreetFirstTopic When I heard Cicero screaming, I knew you'd been discovered. I feared the worst. Are you all right? DB04AstridSeeDelvinMalloryTopic I'm thinking we need that amulet appraised. I want to know where it came from, how much it's worth, and if we can actually get away with selling it. DB04AstridSeeDelvinMalloryTopic And, there's only one man who can give us what we need - Delvin Mallory. He's a fence, a private operator. Works out of the Ratway, in Riften. DB04AstridSeeDelvinMalloryTopic Give me the letter. Bring Mallory the amulet. Find out everything you can, and sell it if he's willing. He'll offer a letter of credit - that's fine. DB04AstridSeeDelvinMalloryTopic Delvin Mallory and the Dark Brotherhood have... history. He can be trusted. DB04AstridTreacheryResponse1 Maybe so, but healthy paranoia has saved this Sanctuary before, and my gut's telling me that demented little fool is up to something. DB04AstridTreacheryResponse2 So you understand my fear. If Cicero's planning something, and conspiring with one of our own, it would be disastrous. DB04AstridTreacheryResponse3 You must understand. If Cicero is turning the others against me... against us... Our Family would not survive such division. DB04AstridWhatToDoTopic Dear brother, I need you to steal into that chamber, and eavesdrop on their meeting. DB04AstridWhatToDoTopic It'll be no use clinging to the shadows. They'll see you for sure. No, you need a hiding place. Somewhere they'd never think to look. DB04AstridWhatToDoTopic Like inside the Night Mother's coffin. DB04AstridWhatToDoTopic Dear sister, I need you to steal into that chamber, and eavesdrop on their meeting. DB04AstridWhatToDoTopic It'll be no use clinging to the shadows. They'll see you for sure. No, you need a hiding place. Somewhere they'd never think to look. DB04AstridWhatToDoTopic Like inside the Night Mother's coffin. DB04a_05TransitionAstridPlayerResponse The Elder Council... DB04a_05TransitionAstridPlayerResponse Oh, now that explains quite a bit. Motierre, you naughty, naughty boy. Hiring the Dark Brotherhood to help you rise beyond your station. Delicious. DB04a_05TransitionAstridPlayerResponse Was Mallory willing to buy the amulet? DB04a_05TransitionGreetTopic Good, you're back. Well, what did Mallory have to say? Is the amulet authentic? DB04CiceroHimListenerBranchTopic Oh... Well... yes. I did. I did indeed. I tried to listen. Tried so hard. But the Night Mother never spoke to poor Cicero. DB04CiceroHimListenerBranchTopic The silence became almost... maddening. DB04CiceroHimListenerBranchTopic Oh, but that was then! This is now! You're the Listener, and the Night Mother chose you for a reason, I'm sure! Cicero will remain the happy Keeper. DB04CiceroListenerTopicTopic Oh, the Listener, well... listens! The Night Mother speaks to you. Guides you on your path. DB04CiceroListenerTopicTopic But when the Night Mother speaks, the Listener must obey. You must! For her word is the will of Sithis. And Sithis is the Dark Brotherhood incarnate. DB04CiceroNightMotherWhenBranchTopic Ha! Surely you're pulling Cicero's leg! DB04CiceroNightMotherWhenBranchTopic Wait... the Listener is serious? Oh. DB04CiceroNightMotherWhenBranchTopic Well of course the Night Mother will speak to you again! She might speak now, or later, or... I don't know! But speak she will! DB04CiceroNightMotherWhenBranchTopic The Night Mother is part of you now! You get to hear voices inside your head! The rest of us should be so lucky. DB04LeadInTopic It's Cicero. Ever since he arrived, his behavior's been... Well, erratic would be an understatement. I do believe he is truly mad. DB04LeadInTopic But it's worse than that. He's taken to locking himself in the Night Mother's chamber, and talking. To someone. In hushed, but frantic tones. DB04LeadInTopic Who is he speaking with? What are they planning? I fear treachery. DB04LeadInTopic You must help us appease Malacath. DB04LeadInTopic Please hurry. We are counting on you. DB04LeadInTopic Don't make a mess of this. DB04LeadInTopic Let's just get this over with. DB04LeadInTopic Curses aren't enough, now must I suffer you too? What is it? DB04LeadInTopic Why are you here, outsider? DB04LeadInTopic Please, help Yamarz. Do whatever you can. Our tribe depends on you. DB04LeadInTopic I must focus now. This ritual is very important. DB04LeadInTopic I will stay right here and wait for you to bring me what I need. DB04LeadInTopic Do you bring word from Malacath? DB04LeadInTopic Do whatever Yamarz asks of you. It cannot make things worse. DB04LeadInTopic Speak to Yamarz. Convince him to let you help him. DB04LeadInTopic You should not be here, outsider. DB04LeadInTopic We have angered Malacath, and so we must be punished. DB04LeadInTopic Our tribe has survived this long without you interfering. We'll be fine. DB04LeadInTopic We have sworn loyalty to Yamarz. He will see us through these dark times. DB04LeadInTopic By the Ashpit, we can't go on like this. DB04LeadInTopic My husband Leigelf is dead. I... I never thought I would miss that oaf so much. DB04LeadInTopic Iron-Breaker Mine is three times the worth of that Quicksilver Mine and its fat-head owner. DB04LeadInTopic My miners are as dumb as rocks are grey. DB04LeadInTopic The Mortar and Pestle has cures for every illness, from Ataxia to Witbane. DB04LeadInTopic A Stamina Potion maybe? Popular with young men. DB04LeadInTopic Frost took my husband years ago. He was a good man. DB04LeadInTopic My children all grew up and left Dawnstar to make their fortune. DB04LeadInTopic I will serve Dawnstar as I always have. DB04LeadInTopic You should see the grin on Horik's face now that we're in charge. I know he hides it, but I can tell. DB04LeadInTopic The Jarl and I have our disagreements. Sorry if you had to overhear one of them. DB04LeadInTopic I wasn't born in Skyrim, but when I served in the Legion this land became my home. DB04LeadInTopic Horik and I have lived here ever since I retired. He's a good soldier. DB04LeadInTopic My duty is to guard Brina Merilis. DB04LeadInTopic Watch your hands around the Legate. DB04LeadInTopic I've been in the Legion all my life. I'm content to serve. DB04LeadInTopic I'm just one of the miners. I don't want any trouble. DB04LeadInTopic You should speak to the Jarl if you need something, stranger. DB04LeadInTopic I'm no one special, just a miner who swings a pickaxe for his drinking money. DB04LeadInTopic Beitild thinks I drink on the job. Well, what does it matter if I do? Huh? DB04LeadInTopic My wife Beitild is dead. Can't say I miss that old sabre cat. DB04LeadInTopic Quicksilver Mine is the best mine in Dawnstar, and you can tell those Iron-Breaker miners I said so. DB04LeadInTopic If it's about the mine, I'm all ears. DB04LeadInTopic Need a dagger? No? How about a claymore? DB04LeadInTopic You looking for a shield? Best thing between you and the enemy, friend. DB04LeadInTopic Don't forget getting a good pair of gauntlets. Broken hands can't hold a sword. DB04LeadInTopic I hear people were spotted using the Black Door. Gods have mercy. DB04LeadInTopic I work steel, weapons mostly. DB04LeadInTopic Most of the guards in Dawnstar carry swords forged from his very smithy. DB04LeadInTopic I trained in Hammerfell during my journeyman years. Redguard smiths are second to none. DB04LeadInTopic I'll forge you a weapon tomorrow. Right now, I'm closed. DB04LeadInTopic I traveled far and wide when I was younger. Glad to have settled down finally. DB04LeadInTopic I help my husband Rustleif run the forge. He's a marvel with steel. DB04LeadInTopic I married Rustleif when he was in Hammerfell, apprenticing under my father. DB04LeadInTopic The only thing I dislike about my husband's homeland is the cold. Why is it always so cold? DB04LeadInTopic We discovered recently that I am with child. I'll need to stop working next season. DB04LeadInTopic I work in the mine, just like everyone else. DB04LeadInTopic Used to be twice as many miners working here before all this trouble started. DB04LeadInTopic I mine. Work the smelter. Ain't much else to tell. DB04LeadInTopic Been mining all my life. Quicksilver is as much my home as anywhere. DB04LeadInTopic Damn Imperials. They won't hold Dawnstar forever. DB04LeadInTopic Why are you speaking to me, Imperial? DB04LeadInTopic The nightmares in Dawnstar have lifted, and I hear you helped that happen. You have my thanks. DB04LeadInTopic I've been in charge of Dawnstar for over 35 years. DB04LeadInTopic No Empire is going to take the Jarlship away from this Son of Skyrim. DB04LeadInTopic The Pale will throw those Imperial backbiters up against the wall when they come for us. DB04LeadInTopic Skyrim will not bow to a false king any longer. Ulfric is the true king. DB04LeadInTopic Jarl Skald is upset over the loss of Dawnstar. I'll admit, it's less I have to worry about. DB04LeadInTopic You should leave. Skald gets upset around Imperials. DB04LeadInTopic I'm Skald's housecarl and head of his guard in Dawnstar. DB04LeadInTopic My only aim is to keep the peace. DB04LeadInTopic Skald is very... vocal about his hatred of the Empire. DB04LeadInTopic The tenacity of the Imperial Legion is legendary. We need to be ready for them. DB04LeadInTopic I served in the Great War against the Thalmor. I remember how bravely a Legionnaire can fight. DB04LeadInTopic Jarl gets booted from Dawnstar, and I'm still stuck cleaning up the dirt. DB04LeadInTopic What do you want, Imperial? Ain't my life hard enough? DB04LeadInTopic Just a servant of Skald the Elder. Not worthy of time or consideration. DB04LeadInTopic There's no honor in being a Jarl's servant. No Sovngarde waits for dust cleaners. DB04LeadInTopic My family has served Skald Felgeif's family for generations. DB04LeadInTopic Oh, it's just wonderful being Skald's servant. He's not demanding in the least. DB04LeadInTopic I'm here to lend my magic to the people of Dawnstar. DB04LeadInTopic I had hoped life would be simpler here, but war seems to find a way of following me. DB04LeadInTopic I served in the Great War as a Legion battlemage. I've no desire to go back. DB04LeadInTopic I'll work my spells and potions for whoever is willing to leave Dawnstar in peace. DB04LeadInTopic The Windpeak Inn features the finest bard in all of Dawnstar. Me. DB04LeadInTopic Let me know if you need a drink. That's what we're here for. DB04LeadInTopic Sorry if my father seems a bit distracted. A lot's happened. DB04LeadInTopic I'm sorry. My mind was just somewhere else. Did you need a room? Drink? DB04LeadInTopic Oh, do you need a room? DB04LeadInTopic My daughter Karita sings to the guests when she can. She has her mother's voice. DB04LeadInTopic Everyone thinks I'm too young to be a ship's captain, but I'm going to prove them wrong. DB04LeadInTopic I don't buy all that talk about ship captains having to be stern and strict. I want my crewmen to enjoy their work. DB04LeadInTopic I inherited the ship when my mother passed away. She spent her life on the water, and now I do, too. DB04LeadInTopic I'm good with stars and charts, but I admit I've got some things to learn about leading men. DB04LeadInTopic I plan to spend all the days I got left on the water. It's where I belong. DB04LeadInTopic Once sailing gets in your blood, it don't get out. DB04LeadInTopic I been a sailor for so long, I could navigate these rivers an' seas blindfolded. DB04LeadInTopic Cap'n Wayfinder's as green as seaweed, but he's learnin'. DB04LeadInTopic I don't like taking orders from a boy, but I need the gold. DB04LeadInTopic I could run this ship better than that boy who calls himself a captain. Maybe one day I'll do something about it. DB04LeadInTopic The captain inherited the Sea Squall from his mother when she died. Maybe I can inherit the ship if he dies... DB04LeadInTopic Not a day goes by that I don't think about finding a new ship. I guess it's easier just to stay put. DB04LeadInTopic You should talk to Rustleif. Get some proper steel. DB04LeadInTopic Old lady Frida is a grouch, but she sure can whip up a cure for the Rattles fast. DB04LeadInTopic Beware of Frostmere Crypt, friend. Heard some bandits are living in the ruins now. DB04LeadInTopic Giants have been spotted up near Red Road Pass. Best to keep away and avoid it entirely. DB04LeadInTopic Dawnstar is the last port of call before Solitude. Damn rebels aren't taking it. DB04LeadInTopic We won't give up this port to the Imperials without a fight, don't you worry. DB04LeadInTopic Dangerous post, Dawnstar. If the bandits don't get you, the animals will. DB04LeadInTopic Here to dig. That's all. DB04LeadInTopic Dawnstar's got its problems, but as long as the ore is good, I'll stay. DB04LeadInTopic Here to mine? DB04LeadInTopic Quicksilver ore is rare. Worth digging. DB04LeadInTopic Been working in Iron-Breaker since I was a boy. DB04LeadInTopic Iron's a good, stout metal. A fine thing for a Nord to dig. DB04LeadInTopic Plenty of iron to dig. DB04LeadInTopic Mining's an honest trade. No real tricks to it. DB04LeadInTopic I work for the Windpeak Inn. You should head on inside. DB04LeadInTopic Thoring runs the inn. Speak to him. DB05AstridBrideDeadBranchTopic Ha ha! The news is everywhere! Vittoria Vici, the Emperor's cousin, butchered at her own wedding! Well done! DB05AstridBrideDeadBranchTopic Let's see his eminence try to ignore this. DB05AstridEmperorQuestionTopic Hmph. He had a trip to Skyrim planned for months, and canceled at the last minute. Much to his cousin's dismay. DB05AstridEmperorQuestionTopic Seems the Emperor realized his presence would necessitate a more direct role in the ongoing hostilities. A role he was, obviously, unwilling to take. DB05AstridEmperorQuestionTopic All that will change with his cousin's murder. Everyone will think it was motivated by the conflict between the Imperial Legion and Stormcloaks. DB05AstridEmperorQuestionTopic And the Emperor will be forced to come clean up the mess. DB05AstridMoreInfoTopicTopic This is a public kill. How you do it is entirely up to you. Arrow to the throat? Knife in the belly? Your choice, so long as it's loud and messy. DB05AstridMoreInfoTopicTopic Because of the current political climate, people are going to assume the murder is related to the bad blood between the Legion and Stormcloaks. DB05AstridMoreInfoTopicTopic In any event, when Vici dies, it's going to be complete pandemonium. Best have your escape route planned out in advance. DB05AstridPlayerRealChallenge Best put your other tasks aside. The real challenge is about to begin. DB05AstridReceptionStartTopicTopic Soon. I'm not exactly sure when. But not to worry - the ceremony itself is being followed up by a public banquet that will last for several days. DB05AstridReceptionStartTopicTopic Both Vittoria and her husband will be there for the duration, and everyone in Solitude is invited to attend. You'll have plenty of opportunity. DB05AstridTargetInfoTopicTopic An excellent question. Vittoria Vici is the first cousin to our dear Emperor, Titus Mede II. DB05AstridTargetInfoTopicTopic Vici has obvious Imperial connections. Her husband has ties to the Stormcloaks. Their union is a step toward reconciliation. DB05AstridTargetInfoTopicTopic So if there's a murder at the wedding... Not only will it stall the peace process - it will send shockwaves throughout the entire Empire. DB05AstridTargetInfoTopicTopic The Emperor's hand will be forced. He'll have to travel to Skyrim to deal with the aftermath... and he'll find the Dark Brotherhood waiting. DB05BrideDeadAstridResponse With Vici's murder, you've started us down a path the Dark Brotherhood hasn't traveled in centuries. The assassination of an Emperor. DB05BrideDeadAstridResponse And now, your reward. A unique spell to summon a legend of the Dark Brotherhood. His soul serves us now in death, as his body once did in life. DB05BrideDeadAstridResponse Ah, and of course, a bonus, for killing Vici while she addressed her guests, as instructed. Gold... simple and pure. Spend it as you will. DB05BrideDeadAstridResponse Now then. Time to proceed to the next stage of the plan. Go and speak with Gabriella. She's been helping me arrange your next contract. DB05BrideDeadAstridResponseNoBonus With Vici's murder, you've started us down a path the Dark Brotherhood hasn't traveled in centuries. The assassination of an Emperor. DB05BrideDeadAstridResponseNoBonus And now, your reward. A unique spell to summon a legend of the Dark Brotherhood. His soul serves us now in death, as his body once did in life. DB05BrideDeadAstridResponseNoBonus Unfortunately, in your zeal, you failed to eliminate Vici while she addressed her guests, as directed. I'm sorry, but your bonus is forfeit. DB05BrideDeadAstridResponseNoBonus Now then. Time to proceed to the next stage of the plan. Go and speak with Gabriella. She's been helping me arrange your next contract. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Oh my, yes. I absolutely love weddings. I haven't found my special someone yet, but there's still hope. Vittoria is, well, getting up in years... DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Am I! Free food and wine, and nobody trying to throw me in the dungeon. I wish they did weddings here every day. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Not really. It's just a bunch of elders standing around, looking important. I wish something exciting would happen. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Oh. Why... why certainly. I keep telling myself I'm not losing a son, I'm gaining an Imperial. Daughter. An Imperial daughter... DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic No, I'm not having a good time. My boy just married a gods-forsaken Imperial. Skyrim is full of eager Nord women, and he beds down with the enemy. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic The best. Vittoria's a good woman. Any man should be so lucky. I know my father's not happy about me marrying an Imperial, but that's his problem. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic I most certainly am not. I've just lost my daughter to a Nord beast, and my nephew Titus is too busy playing Emperor to even show up. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic I am, thank you. I do so enjoy singing at weddings. It's just one of the many duties we at the Bards College are called upon to perform. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic So far. I just hope things remain calm. Wine gets drunk, tempers flare. This may be a joyous celebration, but it's shadowed by a lot of animosity. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Oh, yes. Presiding over the union of two lovers is one of my greatest responsibilities. It helps that Asgeir and Vittoria truly care for each other. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic I always leave room for the main course, Eola. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Not too full on bread and wine, I hope? DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Thank you, Lisbet. It's been such a joy to dine with you all these years. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic This is lovely, as always, Eola. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic I never miss a good meal. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Thank you for coming to dinner, Hogni. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic I always preferred the liver myself. My brother had such a juicy liver. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic The toes are my favorite part. I hope I get to take a few home with me. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Either way, I came back with meat for the table. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic That must have been quite a surprise. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic My friend Marex. We were hunting, and I thought he was an elk. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Of course they don't count! DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Do dogs count? DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic When was your first meal, Banning? DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic I'm just glad we had this, now. I was almost getting ready to eat my servant and blame it on the Forsworn. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic Eola is a fine host. She really keeps the faithful together. DB05GoodTimeBranchTopic It's so good to have everyone around the table again. DB05PenitusGuardBranchTopic She's dead! On my watch! This won't stand! DB05PenitusGuardBranchTopic I'm just here to provide protection for his eminence's cousin. Please, enjoy yourself. DB05PlayerWeddingResponse Well, more like the public reception. It should be a lovely affair. You'll mingle with the guests, eat some cake... stab the bride. DB05PlayerWeddingResponse Oh yes. You've got to kill the bride. At her wedding. DB05PlayerWeddingResponse And they say romance is dead. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic1 Her name is Vittoria Vici. She oversees the East Empire Company's business holdings in Solitude. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic1 The wedding is being held in that city, at the Temple of the Divines. Her death will cause an uproar, which is exactly what we want. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic1 Vici is likely to address her guests frequently, as is the wedding custom. Kill her when she does that, and I promise you a significant bonus. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic1 Now go. And give my best to the bride. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic2 Very well. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic2 The target's name is Vittoria Vici. She oversees the East Empire Company's business holdings in Solitude. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic2 The wedding is being held in that city, at the Temple of the Divines. Her death will cause an uproar, which is exactly what we want. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic2 Remember, we want people to notice. Kill Vici while she's addressing her guests, as is the custom, and I can promise a bonus. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic2 Now go. And give the bride a special kiss, from me. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic3 Your target's name is Vittoria Vici. She oversees the East Empire Company's business holdings in Solitude. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic3 The wedding is being held in that city, at the Temple of the Divines. Her death will cause an uproar, which is exactly what we want. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic3 Vici is likely to address her guests frequently, as is the wedding custom. Kill her when she does that, and I promise you a significant bonus. DB05PlayerWhoIsTargetTopic3 Now go. And give the city of Solitude a celebration they're not likely to forget. DB05StartPlayerResponse1 Splendid. Then we're ready to begin. Or, more specifically, you're ready to begin. After all, you're the one the Night Mother spoke to. DB05StartPlayerResponse1 But by Sithis, I hope I'm making the right choice here. You may be an effective killer, but your command of guile leaves much to be desired. DB05StartPlayerResponse1 The sealed letter you delivered to me was mysteriously unsealed upon its arrival. I can only assume you've read its contents. Sloppy... DB05StartPlayerResponse1 But moving on to business. As you probably already know from reading the letter... you're going to a wedding. DB05StartPlayerResponse1 Splendid. Then we're ready to begin. Or, more specifically, you're ready to begin. After all, you're the one the Night Mother spoke to. DB05StartPlayerResponse1 Now then. I hope you have something nice to wear. Because you're going to a wedding. DB05VeezaraAlreadyHelpedBranchTopic We'll meet back up at the Sanctuary! I'll be fine. Go! DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic I guess we should have expected this response, hmm? DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic I thank you all again for making this the best wedding a woman could ask for. DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic You have all helped make this a truly extraordinary wedding. All of my dreams have come true. So thank you. Thank you all. DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic May you all be as happy in your lives as I know I will be in mine. Thank you again for everything. DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic Today, the problems of Skyrim are not my problems. Nor are they yours. Today we are joined in peace and happiness. So please, enjoy yourselves. DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic These days, it seems there is dread everywhere, whether it be war or dragon. But I beg you - here, today, put such fears aside. Enjoy yourselves! DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic In this courtyard, there are no Stormcloaks. There are no Imperials. There are only people, come to celebrate a union of two souls. So make merry! DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic I just wanted to take this time to thank you all for being here. To thank you for sharing this wonderfully happy day with myself, and my new husband. DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic Are you all enjoying yourselves? Please, eat, drink, and make merry on this most happy of days. DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic My husband Aesgir and I thank you for coming to our reception. We thank you for sharing the love we have for each other. DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic Honored guests. DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic Good people of Solitude. DB05VeezaraHelpBranchTopic Good friends and neighbors. DB05VeezaraHelpPlayerResponse1 Astrid ordered me to keep an eye on you. Figured you could use a hand when the chaos erupted. DB05VeezaraHelpPlayerResponse1 I'll try and hold them off as best I can. You get back to the Sanctuary! DB05VittoriaPlayerResponse1 Oh! Well, you tell your Stormcloak friends "hello" right back at them! This is a day of healing! Legion, Stormcloaks - all are welcome here! DB05VittoriaPlayerResponse2 Ha ha ha ha! Yes, yes indeed! Hail the Imperial Legion! Hail the Stormcloaks! Hail Solitude and the Eight Divines! DB05VittoriaPlayerResponse2 On this glorious day, we honor everyone! Ha ha ha ha! DB05VittoriaPlayerResponse3 Oh, no need to be shy! My day is your day! Please - eat, drink, make merry! We're all friends here! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic What an amazing day this has been. I hope you're enjoying the festivities. I'm... I'm just so overwhelmed. Such kindness... for me. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Oh, Asgeir! My husband! My dear, sweet husband! Why would someone do this to you? Why? This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Please, enjoy the festivities! This is a day of peace and happiness, when Imperials and Stormcloaks join together, as equals! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic My wife is dead! Dead! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Now now, fella. Let's not get too close to my new bride, eh? DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Well aren't you a pretty thing? Should my new bride by worried? He he he he. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Make sure to get yourself something to drink. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic You hungry? There's plenty of food. Eat up, now. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic What's going on? Why would somebody do that? DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic This wedding is boring. I wish they had jugglers. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic When my aunt got married, they had a cake that was three feet tall. I got really sick that day. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I heard Vittoria Vici is the Emperor's cousin. I wish he came to the wedding. I never saw a real live Emperor before. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic By the gods, the blood! The blood! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Vittoria did pretty well for herself, marrying that Asgeir. Not a bad looking fellow at all. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I love weddings, don't you? DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I just can't wait to be a bride someday. Someday... DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I didn't do it! You saw! I didn't do it! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Long as I stay out of the way, the guards don't seem to care about me being here. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I've eaten more in the last two hours than I have in the last two weeks. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic If I'm really lucky, I'll get to kiss the bride for good luck. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic The Emperor's cousin is dead! This is a disaster! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic By all the gods, the groom has been killed. At his own wedding! I can only think of my own husband... DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic A marriage of both love and political advantage. A rare thing indeed. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Oh, no no no... This is so wrong... DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I'm so glad Vittoria and Asgeir chose a public reception. That way the entire city can share in their holy bond. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Oh, did you miss the ceremony? It was rather quick, actually. The couple seemed more concerned with their reception. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I just came to sing! This is a horror show! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic If you want my opinion, I think they should have paid for an entire quartet. Plenty of bards at the College would have loved the opportunity. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Ahem. Mi mi mi mi. Pardon me. Just, um, warming up. Never know when I may be called upon for a ballad. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic My daughter! Dead! Noooooo! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic My nephew, the Emperor. Too busy to attend the wedding of his beloved cousin. We won't stand for this slight, I assure you. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic What my daughter sees in that... barbarian, I'll never know. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic The thought of paying a dowry to that, that... Stormcloak turns my stomach. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic It was the Empire killed her! I know it! They killed her so they can blame it on the Stormcloaks! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic My son is dead! At his own wedding! Only those Imperial dogs would have dared do something like this! Damn them all to Oblivion! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I still think my boy should have had a traditional Nord wedding. Outside, in the cool mountain air. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic They say this marriage is the first step towards peace. Who in Shor's name wants peace? Pfft. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic My boy, he always did have an eye for the pretty ones. That Vittoria ain't bad, for an Imperial. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic By Ysmir, this is horrible! I never wanted the girl dead, I swear! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Vittoria may be pretty, but does she have the right hips for the job? I want grandchildren, and lots of them. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic To think, my little boy is married. And to an Imperial. Oh, they grow up so fast. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic If my Asgeir is happy, then I'm happy. Really. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I never should have taken this job! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Sorry, no time to talk. I need to keep playing. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Let's see what Esbern has to say. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Amazing, eh? To be standing at the very entrance to Sky Haven Temple itself! DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic We must be getting close. We should proceed cautiously. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Are you sure this is the right way? DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I've told you where Sky Haven Temple is. I'll trust you to get us there in one piece. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I must speak to Delphine at once. There's no time to lose. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic So this is where Delphine has been hiding all these years? Hmm. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Are we close? Thalmor spies could be anywhere. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I don't like being out in the open like this. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Did you hear that? DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Well, I guess that's good enough... let's be off... DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic One moment, I know, time is of the essence, but mustn't leave secrets for the Thalmor... there's one more I must bring... DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic I'll need this... No, no, useless trash... where'd I put my annotated Anuad? DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Alduin's Wall was where the ancient Blades recorded all they knew of Alduin and his return. Part history, part prophecy. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic Its location has been lost for centuries, but I've found it again. Not lost, you see, just forgotten. DB05VittoriaThreatenBranchTopic The Blades archives held so many secrets... I was only able to save a few scraps... DB05_06AstridTransitionTopic With the Emperor's arrival in Skyrim now a certainty, the Imperial Legion will need to begin its preparations immediately. DB05_06AstridTransitionTopic Security is being handled by a man named Voltus Agallon. His job is to travel throughout Skyrim, and ensure each city is prepared for Mede's visit. DB05_06AstridTransitionTopic You must find and kill Voltus Agallon. Doing so will disrupt security sufficiently that we will be able to, eventually, get to to the Emperor. DB05_06AstridTransitionTopic Oh, but I will speak. I will speak to you. For you are the one. DB06AstridSeeGabriellaBranchTopic As I said, go speak with Gabriella. She's been assisting me with your next contract. This Emperor business, well... it does involve everyone. DB06AstridSeeGabriellaBranchTopic My point exactly. DB06AstridSeeGabriellaBranchTopic Why that's not the same thing at all. The Dominion were invaders. Conquerors. We had to fight them, to preserve our own way of life. DB06AstridSeeGabriellaBranchTopic And when the elves marched into your beloved Cyrodiil, and everyone took up arms against them, wasn't that treason? Against the Dominion? Huh? DB06AstridSeeGabriellaBranchTopic Oh, I know enough. I know those trouble-making Stormcloaks refuse to submit to Imperial authority. Such seditious behavior. Why it's treason! DB06AstridSeeGabriellaBranchTopic Typical Imperial rot. You speak of Skyrim like you know the land, know its people. You're from Cyrodiil! You know nothing about us! Nothing! DB06GabriellaAccomplishBranchTopic Killing Commander Maro would do no good. Someone would merely replace him. No, we need him to remain in charge. But... distracted. Weakened. DB06GabriellaAccomplishBranchTopic Implicate and kill his son Gaius, and the commander will be grief-stricken and humiliated, his family name ruined. The security plan will then fail. DB06GabriellaAccomplishBranchTopic Best yet, the Emperor will be lulled into a false sense of security, thinking an assassination plot had already been discovered and foiled. DB06GabriellaBeginBranchTopic Dear brother. I've been waiting for you. Your next contract awaits, as I'm sure Astrid indicated. DB06GabriellaBeginBranchTopic Dear sister. I've been waiting for you. Your next contract awaits, as I'm sure Astrid indicated. DB06GabriellaBonusBranchTopic Yes. Do not kill Gaius Maro in Dragon Bridge, or on the road. Kill him in one of the other major cities he'll be visiting. DB06GabriellaBonusBranchTopic There, the body will be discovered quickly, as will the letter implicating Gaius Maro and the Stormcloaks in the Emperor's assassination. DB06GabriellaBonusBranchTopic Do that, and Astrid has authorized me to grant you a rather unique bonus. It is a special token, to be given to Olava the Feeble, in Whiterun. DB06GabriellaBonusBranchTopic Olava is an old and dear friend, and a powerful seer. The token entitles you to a reading of your future. It's an opportunity one should not pass up. DB06GabriellaDetailsBranchTopic With the Emperor's arrival in Skyrim now a certainty, his security service, the Penitus Oculatus, will need to begin its preparations immediately. DB06GabriellaDetailsBranchTopic Security is being handled by a Commander Maro. Astrid and I have devised a plan to break the man, and in doing so, cripple the Emperor's protection. DB06GabriellaDetailsBranchTopic You are to slay the commander's son, Gaius Maro, and once he is dead, plant false evidence on his body implicating him in a plot to kill the Emperor. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic It's a small town, with one rather unique feature - it houses Skyrim's only Penitus Oculatus outpost. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic It was established by Commander Maro when he first arrived in Skyrim, several months ago. When he began preparing for the Emperor's initial visit. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic Yes, the World-Eater is gone... may the spirits have mercy on our souls. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic It worked... you did it... DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic Hold, Alduin on the Wing! Sister Hawk, grant us your sacred breath to make this contract heard! DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic It's no use! Use the Scroll, Felldir! Now! DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic Skyrim will be free! DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic Let those that watch from Sovngarde envy us this day! DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic So be it. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic We shall see soon enough. Alduin approaches! DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic You do not understand. Alduin cannot be slain like a lesser dragon. He is beyond our strength. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic I never agreed. And if you are right, I will not need it. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic No. We will deal with Alduin ourselves, here and now. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic Felldir! We agreed not to use it! DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic They did not have Dragonrend. Once we bring him down, I promise I will have his head. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic But none have yet stood against Alduin himself. Galthor, Sorri, Birkir... DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic We've bloodied him well. Four of his kin have fallen to my blade alone this day. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic He will come. He cannot ignore our defiance. And why should he fear us, even now? DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic Why does Alduin hang back? We've staked everything on this plan of yours, old man. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic If it does to you, dear, that's all that matters. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic No, I'm sorry. I'll just... I'll know it if I find it. Does that make sense? DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic All right, can you describe it to me? DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic I... I'm not sure. I think perhaps, but I don't know what it is. DB06GabriellaDragonBridgeBranchTopic Is there something you need, dear? DB06GabriellaGaiusDeadTopic Yes, I know. As does Astrid. You have done well, and have earned both your reward, and a bonus, as I may have mentioned. DB06GabriellaGaiusDeadTopic But you should know that we have a more pressing matter to deal with. DB06GabriellaGaiusDeadTopic It's... Cicero. There's been an incident. You should proceed into the Sanctuary. I'll let Astrid explain. DB06GabriellaGaiusDeadTopic Yes, I know. As does Astrid. And you've earned your payment, though the bonus is forfeit, as I'm sure you're aware. DB06GabriellaGaiusDeadTopic But you should know that we have a more pressing matter to deal with. DB06GabriellaGaiusDeadTopic It's... Cicero. There's been an incident. You should proceed into the Sanctuary. I'll let Astrid explain. DB06GabriellaGaiusSharedInfo He is set to leave the Penitus Oculatus outpost at Dragon Bridge, and inspect the security of each city in Skyrim. DB06GabriellaGaiusSharedInfo Go there now. Observe Gaius Maro's departure, and follow him. Waylay him in one of the cities, and send his soul to Sithis. DB06GabriellaGaiusSharedInfo Once he's dead, plant the incriminating letter on his body, and let fate take care of the rest. DB06GabriellaGaiusSharedInfo Oh, and one final thing... DB06GabriellaGoOnBranchTopic To earn your bonus, do not kill Gaius Maro in Dragon Bridge, or on the road. Kill him in one of the other major cities he'll be visiting. DB06GabriellaGoOnBranchTopic There, the body will be discovered quickly, as will the letter implicating Gaius Maro in the plot to assassinate the Emperor. DB06GabriellaGoOnBranchTopic Do that, and Astrid has authorized me to grant you a rather unique bonus. It is a special token, to be given to Olava the Feeble, in Whiterun. DB06GabriellaGoOnBranchTopic Olava is an old and dear friend, and a powerful seer. The token entitles you to a reading of your future. It's an opportunity one should not pass up. DB06GabriellaQuestCompleteGreetTopic Ah, at last. I've been anxiously awaiting your return. DB06GabriellaQuestCompleteGreetTopic Why are you here? Killing Gaius Maro is but the first step of your contract - you must also plant the incriminating letter on his body... DB06GabriellaQuestCompleteGreetTopic Head for the Great Hall, quickly! Don't stop for anything! DB06GabriellaQuestCompleteGreetTopic Be on your guard. I've no idea what to expect inside the College. DB06GabriellaRouteBranchTopic No, so your best plan is to follow him after he leaves Dragon Bridge. However, there is one other option... DB06GabriellaRouteBranchTopic We know there's an actual written travel schedule, somewhere in the Penitus Oculatus outpost. Securing that would, obviously, be most beneficial... DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic Trust me, we have nothing to say to one another. DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic Use your Unrelenting Force shout to strike the targets as they appear. DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic Please, sir, leave me alone! DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic Don't you dare walk away from me, you slut! Do you know who I am? DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic No, I'm sorry, but I can't go anywhere with you. I won't. Please, I must get back to my duties. DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic Oh, I don't think so. I think I understand perfectly. Don't worry, my dear, I will make any necessary excuses to your employer. DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic Oh, don't worry. I'll let you make it up to me. Now, where can we go for a little privacy, hmm? DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic What? I'm sorry, sir, but you must have misunderstood. I'm not permitted to leave the party. DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to give you the wrong impression earlier. I meant no disrespect. DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic Hello, my dear. I got your message. Where shall we go? DB06GaiusmaroBlowOffBranchTopic So. You think you can toy with me, is that it? No, my dear. I have my heart set on you, and I always get what I want. DB06PlayerWhatElseTopic Agallon is an efficient man, and will certainly already have begun his tour of Skyrim. Unfortunately, we don't have his schedule. DB06PlayerWhatElseTopic So, you've got two options. Try to find Agallon yourself, somewhere on his route between the major cities. Or... find and steal his schedule. DB06PlayerWhatElseTopic You'll find that in his office, in the Legion stronghold of Dragon Bridge. It's your choice. Now go, and may Sithis speed you. DB06VoltusThreatenBranchTopic Keep back, citizen. I have important business I must attend to. DB06VoltusThreatenBranchTopic You are trying my patience, citizen. Back away. Now. DB06VoltusThreatenResponse1 What? Filthy assassin! We'll see who lies dead! DB06VoltusThreatenResponse2 Is that a threat? Back off, or by the Eight I'll cleave that arrogant head from its shoulders. DB06VoltusThreatenResponse3 I'm sorry, but I really don't have time for this. Move along. DB06_07AstridTransitionBranchTopic Maro is dead, I know. But we've got bigger problems right now! DB06_07AstridTransitionBranchTopic You're back. Good. You'll want to hear this. DB07ArnbjornGreetBranchTopic Should have figured Astrid would send you. DB07ArnbjornGreetBranchTopic Do me a favor and kill that little jester twice. Just to make sure. DB07AstridCiceroBranchTopic Look, the Dark Brotherhood is a family. This Sanctuary is a family. And, we've always welcomed those... shunned by society. DB07AstridCiceroBranchTopic Werewolves, wizards, eternal ten year-old vampires... what does it matter? In truth, I've rarely met a lunatic I haven't liked. DB07AstridCiceroBranchTopic Cicero's problem isn't his madness. It's an adherence to an ancient, outmoded way of life. The Night Mother's ways... simply are not our ways. DB07AstridCiceroBranchTopic He just couldn't accept that. And now he'll have to pay the price. Db07AstridCiceroDeadResponse Excellent. Once again, you've proven yourself a born assassin. Db07AstridCiceroDeadResponse Tell you what. Why don't you hold onto Shadowmere a while longer? He's a fine steed, and hasn't been ridden nearly as much as he should lately. Db07AstridCiceroDeadResponse And now that this Cicero mess has been mopped up, we can get back to the matter at hand, hmm? DB07AstridCiceroDoneBranchTopic Arnbjorn is safe, and for that you have my thanks. But what of the fool? Is Cicero dead? DB07AstridCiceroSetOffBranchTopic No, nothing. At least nothing I'm aware of. DB07AstridCiceroSetOffBranchTopic Well... If I'm being honest, I haven't exactly been discreet lately in expressing my frustration with this whole situation. DB07AstridCiceroSetOffBranchTopic Obeying the Night Mother. You being the Listener. It's ridiculous. No offense. DB07AstridCiceroSetOffBranchTopic Cicero may have overheard me talking to one of the others about the Night Mother. It's possible I was... not entirely respectful. DB07AstridCiceroSetOffBranchTopic But to go this far. To attempt to murder the leader of a Sanctuary. Cicero must pay with his life. There is no other option. DB07AstridDawnstarBranchTopic Oh, it's ancient. Apparently one of the first Sanctuaries in Skyrim. It hasn't been used by the Brotherhood in close to a hundred years. DB07AstridDawnstarBranchTopic If you say Cicero has gone there, it stands to reason that he's familiar with the place. That means you'll be fighting him on his own ground. DB07AstridDawnstarBranchTopic Tread carefully. DB07AstridDawnstarTellTopic The Dawnstar Sanctuary? Whatever for? DB07AstridDawnstarTellTopic Never mind, it doesn't matter. You need to leave. Now. DB07AstridDawnstarTellTopic Every moment counts, so I want you to take my horse. His name is Shadowmere. You'll find him outside, by the pool. Let's just say he's... one of us. DB07AstridDawnstarTellTopic Find Arnbjorn. Make sure my husband's all right. DB07AstridDawnstarTellTopic And then, send that jester's twisted little soul to the Void, in as many pieces as possible. DB07AstridFoundJournalBranchTopic Have you found something? DB07AstridNextQuestChoice There's just one more target before we strike out at the Emperor. DB07AstridNextQuestChoice Have you by chance heard of the "Gourmet"? Read his cookbook? It's become quite a phenomenon. DB07AstridNextQuestChoice The Gourmet is scheduled to cook for the Emperor at a special dinner. You'll kill him, steal his Writ of Passage, and assume the roll of master chef. DB07AstridNextQuestChoice Festus has been spearheading this part of the assassination plan. He's close to uncovering the identity of the Gourmet. You should report to him. DB07AstridPlayerDoTopic Let me know the minute you find something. I've got to see to Veezara, and calm everyone down. DB07AstridPlayerDoTopic I want you to find that miserable little fool and end his life! DB07AstridPlayerDoTopic But first... find my husband. Make sure he's all right. DB07AstridPlayerDoTopic After the attack, Arnbjorn flew into a rage. When Cicero left... Arnbjorn went after him. They disappeared into the wild. DB07AstridPlayerDoTopic Search Cicero's room. Maybe there's something in there that sheds some light on where he might have gone. DB07AstridStartBranchTopic Look, we've got to deal with this situation. You've got to deal with this situation. DB07AstridStartBranchTopic She's right. I'll be forever in your debt, dearest brother. Now be quiet. Just... just rest. DB07AstridStartBranchTopic Hush, Veezara. You were very brave. Astrid may well be dead if not for you. DB07AstridStartBranchTopic Bested by a fool. Who's the fool now, hmm? DB07AstridStartBranchTopic I'll admit, even I'm having a hard time disagreeing with you... DB07AstridStartBranchTopic Damn it, this never should have happened! We knew better. We knew better, and still we let our guards down. Agh! DB07AstridStartBranchTopic Achh... Thank you, dear. You are most kind. The jester's cut feels as bad as it looks, I'm afraid. DB07AstridStartBranchTopic Just try to relax, Veezara. Let the elixir do its work. You'll feel better, shortly. DB07AstridTellAboutJournalTopic Good, good. Does it say where he may be headed? DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic You caught me! I surrender! Ha ha ha ha. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Do what you will. Cicero has no fight left. In the end, Sithis will judge us both. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic What is it doing? Walking around nearly naked... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Oh! Look over there! DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic That's certainly unusual. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Some folk - they got no shame. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Well now! That's a shamefully absurd way to go around in public. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Ummm... they'd lock me up if I went around like that. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic What is that half-naked fetcher trying to prove? DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic What a vulgar display. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic That's not something you see every day... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Gracious! This one is certainly unaccustomed to such sights... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Well now! Aren't you putting on quite the show? DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Shameful, really. I blame the parents. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Oh, dear. Would you look at that? How embarrassing. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Look at that fool. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Gah! Look over there. I can't believe it. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic It takes a lot of confidence to walk around naked. Trust me on that. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Whoa. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Crazy person... Something must be wrong with its head, to strut around like that. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic They're half-naked. That ain't right. Somebody's gotta say somethin'... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Look! Look! DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Somebody get that idiot some armor... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic A bit much, going around like that... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Why the impropriety! DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Never see me strutting around like that! DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Crazy, naked n'wah... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Whoa... Not even I'm that drunk... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Positively vulgar. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Somebody get that fool a blanket. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Despite the shame, this one can't help but stare. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic By Ysmir's beard! I didn't know it was gonna be a party! DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic For shame! You should be locked up for strutting around like that. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Oh my. Been a lot of years since I've seen something like that... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Got to admire the chops it takes to walk around like that. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Not my thing, but who am I to judge... DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Wait until the boys hear about this. DB07CiceroConfrontBranchTopic Now that's something else, right there! DB07CiceroPlayerChoice1 Oh, I like that! Very good, very good! Creative! DB07CiceroPlayerChoice1 But killing me would be a mistake! Oh yes. You would displease our mother, hmm? For she's your mother too, isn't she... Listener? DB07CiceroPlayerChoice1 Walk away! Let poor Cicero live! Tell the pretender Astrid you did the job! Stabbed, strangled, drowned poor Cicero! One little itty bitty lie! DB07CiceroPlayerChoice2 Traitor? Me? Silly assassin. So confused, so confused... and they say I'm mad! DB07CiceroPlayerChoice2 If I'm a traitor, so are you! Have you not heard the maiden's voice? Are you not the Listener? DB07CiceroPlayerChoice2 So walk away! Let poor Cicero live! Tell Astrid you did the job! Stabbed, strangled, drowned poor Cicero! A tiny white lie for a dark assassin! DB07CiceroPlayerChoice3 Oh, you prefer to listen, eh? Of course, of course! The Listener listens! A joke! A funny joke! I get it. DB07CiceroPlayerChoice3 Then listen to this - don't kill me. Let poor Cicero live! I attacked the strumpet Astrid, I did! And I'd do it again! Anything for our mother! DB07CiceroPlayerChoice3 Return to the pretender, tell her I'm dead! Tell her you strangled me with my own intestines! Ha ha! But lie! Yes, lie! Lie, and let me live! DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic This is not the time to keep Astrid waiting. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic Thank you. It's nice to know someone admires me for more than just my appearance. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic Well, it shows. Your skill rivals some of the greatest miners I've known. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic I owe it all to my father who started me swinging the pickaxe when I was a barefoot little girl. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic I've been watching the way you mine and I have to say, I'm very impressed. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic I need someone that cares about me more than they care about themselves. That person isn't you. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic And why not? I'm handsome, strong and smart. What else could you possibly need? DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic Odfel, I've told you time and time again. I'm not interested in a relationship with you. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic Grelka, do you fancy a walk tomorrow? DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic You have yourself a bet. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic You think so, huh? Maybe you'd like to put some septims behind that boast. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic I'll have you know I can haul up just as much iron as you in a day and still manage to clean up my messes. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic I'd rather spend more time in the mine hauling up iron then doing woman's work keeping the house clean. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic All I'm asking is that you clean up once in a while. How you can find anything in your half of the place is beyond me. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic That's what scares me. I'm afraid I'll travel to Darkwater Crossing and find it burned to the ground. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic This civil war is taking its toll on all of us. Miners are some of the hardest hit. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic It's no feast in their neck of the woods either. Last time I was up there, father said they were barely scraping by. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic How are your parents faring, Grelka? Doing better than we are I would guess. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic I know there's ore still in there, I can smell it. If you think you're right then you can pack up and leave any time you like. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic What makes you so sure? What if I'm right? DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic And I'm telling you, you're wrong. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic I've been cracking rock ever since I was able to hold a pickaxe and I'm telling you, this mine is drying up. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic Quit your bellyaching. We've all got our problems. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic At this rate that'll never happen. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic You two will just have to learn to get along until we can build you another house. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic You think living with Grogmar is easy? Did you see how he lives? DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic Oh, don't worry about me. I relish the challenge. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic Don't worry, Orthus. I'm doing my best to get you reassigned to Solitude. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic It's very nice to meet you. You'll have to excuse Orthus here. He so rarely gets back to civilization. Stuck in Windhelm, poor fellow. DB07GabriellaBlockTopicTopic Vittoria! There's someone I'd like you to meet. DB07PlayerHurtTopic What gave it away? DB07PlayerHurtTopic Ha ha ha ha ha. DB07PlayerHurtTopic Yeah, got to admit that little jester is good with that butter knife. But don't worry, I gave as good as I got. DB07PlayerPhraseTopic All right, you convinced me. Doubt I'd be much good to you, anyway. The little fop cut me pretty deep. DB07PlayerPhraseTopic But I slashed him good. Pretty sure I severed an artery. Don't know what you're going to find in there... but you can probably just follow the blood. DB07PlayerWhatHappenedTopic The fool went absolutely berserk! He wounded Veezara, tried to kill me, and then he fled. I knew that lunatic couldn't be trusted. DB07PlayerWhereIsCiceroTopic In there! Through the door. Some old Sanctuary, by the looks of it. I would have followed him, but I don't know the phrase. DB08AntonBeforeKillResponse1 Okay. All right. Wonderful. You're welcome! I'll just be on my way, then... DB08AntonBeforeKillResponse2 No. Oh, please no... DB08AntonBeforeKillResponse3 So... we're done? DB08AntonPlayerArranged The Dark Brotherhood? DB08AntonPlayerArranged Now... now wait a minute. Let's not get hasty. I mean, surely my friend wouldn't want me to endanger my own life. Right? DB08AntonPlayerArranged Look, his name is Balagog gro-Nolob. He's an Orc! The Gourmet's an Orc! He's staying at the Nightgate Inn. That's all I know! DB08AntonPlayerArranged Now... now you'll let me go. Right? DB08AntonPlayerWhoIsGourmet The... the Gourmet? DB08AntonPlayerWhoIsGourmet Never! I don't know what led you here, but nothing will betray my trust. I'll take the secret of the Gourmet's identity to my grave. DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic Yes, yes, for the hundredth time, I am a Breton. I was born in High Rock. And then I came here. I am not a Reachman! DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic Please. Please just let me be... DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic Mara have mercy that gave me a fright. DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic Do you think the ghost is one of... Tiber Septim's dead men? DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic All of a sudden, the ghost disappeared. What happened to it? DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic Do you think that ghost is coming back? It seems to have vanished. DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic I was just getting used to that ghost being here, and poof, now he's gone. DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic Hjalti? Is that you? I've been waiting. DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic I've been waiting for you. Hjalti. DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic I fought by your side. To take back the Reach from the savages. DB08AntonQuestionBranchTopic Do you remember me now, Hjalti? DB08AntonWhoAreYouShared Who are you? What do you want? DB08FestusCompleteBranchTopic So, the prodigal murderer returns. And the Gourmet? DB08FestusCompleteBranchTopic Ah, you're back. Ready to try again, are we? Let's start from the top. You were sent to kill the Gourmet. And he is... DB08FestusIdentityTopic1 Don't be so petulant! DB08FestusIdentityTopic1 In my, um, investigations, I came upon this. It's a copy of the Gourmet's cookbook. Ah, but not just any copy. It's signed you see! DB08FestusIdentityTopic1 Seems to be a message from the Gourmet to one Anton Virane. I've tracked Virane to the keep in Markarth. It would seem he's the cook. DB08FestusIdentityTopic2 Ah, indeed I do! Indeed I do! DB08FestusIdentityTopic2 In my, um, investigations, I came upon this. It's a copy of the Gourmet's cookbook. Ah, but not just any copy. It's signed you see! DB08FestusIdentityTopic2 Seems to be a message from the Gourmet to one Anton Virane. I've tracked Virane to the keep in Markarth. It would seem he's the cook. DB08FestusIdentityTopic3 You know, maybe I was wrong about you after all. Anyone who's smart enough to shut up and listen can't be all bad. DB08FestusIdentityTopic3 In my, um, investigations, I came upon this. It's a copy of the Gourmet's cookbook. Ah, but not just any copy. It's signed you see! DB08FestusIdentityTopic3 Seems to be a message from the Gourmet to one Anton Virane. I've tracked Virane to the keep in Markarth. It would seem he's the cook. DB08FestusListeningSharedTopic Hmph. DB08FestusListeningSharedTopic As I was saying... You'll need to kill the Gourmet, of course. But what's more, you'll need to get his Writ of Passage, so you can take his place. DB08FestusListeningSharedTopic Oh, and if you can, hide his body. The longer it takes for anyone else to determine his real identity, the better. DB08FestusListeningSharedTopic Now off with you! DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse So I gathered. It seems a certain Orc has disappeared. Which means you not only killed the Gourmet, but disposed of the body as well. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse You've got the Writ of Passage too, I see. Splendid, splendid... DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Ah, and word has come in from Markarth that the keep's cook has met an untimely demise. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse You performed your duties to the letter. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Right, which we had already established. And you managed to hide the body as well? Good. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse You've got the Writ of Passage too, I see. So there's that. And Anton Virane has suffered an untimely fate, as well. Good. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Well, looks like you completed the contract as directed. Finally. A little sloppy, but, well... done is done. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Here's your gold, with a little extra for hiding the body. Now go see Astrid. The final stage of the contract has come. The Emperor must fall. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Good. And his Writ of Passage? DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Oh wait, let me guess - you don't have them. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Fool! Amateur! Without those papers you'll never be able to present yourself as the Gourmet! Off with you! Back to the body to retrieve them! DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Good, good. And you've got the Writ of Passage too, I see, so that's done. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse But why? Why, pray tell, have I received word that Anton Virane is still walking around Markarth, hale and healthy as the day he was born? DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Back to Markarth with you! Virane must be silenced! He's a potential witness, you witless dagger jabber! DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Good, good. And you've got the Writ of Passage, too, I see. So there's that. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse I've also received word from Markarth. It would seem Anton Virane has suffered an untimely fate, as well. Good. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse But unfortunately, that inn is abuzz with the news of somebody killing one of their guests! What, hiding the body was too much for you to handle? DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Bah! Useless. Here's your gold. Now go see Astrid. The time to move against the Emperor has finally come. Sithis help us all. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse Remember, the Markarth Keep. That's where you'll find Anton Virane. Probably cooking up all of the Gourmet's recipes, passing them off as his own. DB08FestusPlayerDeadResponse All you've got to do is find and kill one lousy chef. The clock is ticking... DB08FestusPlayerKillGuyTopic I believe so. Therefore, you are to obtain that information from Virane - who the Gourmet really is, and where he can be found. DB08FestusPlayerKillGuyTopic Oh, and when you're done with Virane, kill him. DB08FestusPlayerKillGuyTopic Loose ends and all that. DB08FestusPlayerKillGuyTopic Next, you'll have to... Are you still paying attention? DB08FestusPlayerYesGourmet Quite so. DB08FestusPlayerYesGourmet But first you'll need to learn who he is. Assuming, of course, that the Gourmet actually is a "he." Could be a woman for all we know. DB08FestusStartBranchTopic There you are. Took your sweet time dealing with Cicero, hmph? Now let's get down to business. Astrid told you about the Gourmet, I hope? DB08festus_CookbookBranchTopic "Uncommon Taste." It was published a few years ago, and became a sensation throughout the Empire almost overnight. DB08festus_CookbookBranchTopic The recipes were hailed as both practical and decadent. DB08festus_CookbookBranchTopic I've made a few of the Gourmet's dishes myself, actually. His roast mutton with Redguard berry sauce is to die for. DB08festus_CookbookBranchTopic But his chocolate pate gives me the runs. DB08festus_CookbookBranchTopic Come now, you've got your orders. What else could you possibly need? DB08GourmetThreatBranchTopic Whatever it is, I'm sure I can't be of help. I'm just here on... holiday. DB08GourmetThreatBranchTopic Please, just let me be... DB08GourmetThreatRespond1 Gourmet? Why I... Um... DB08GourmetThreatRespond1 Oh dear. You're going to kill me now, aren't you? DB08GourmetThreatRespond2 What? The Emperor? But I... DB08GourmetThreatRespond2 Oh. Oh, by the gods, no. No, you can't do this. You can't! DB08GourmetThreatRespond3 Yes, well. Perhaps the proprietor of this establishment can assist you. Please, you're starting to... frighten me. DB08GourmetThreatRespond3 Yes, well. Perhaps someone else in the village can assist you? Please, you're starting to... frighten me. DB08PlayerDidAwesomeShared Hmph. I was wrong about you. I see that now. Maybe we all were. DB08PlayerDidAwesomeShared Here's your payment. And... a little something else, as well. From me. Consider it my way of apologizing. For being so damned curmudgeonly! DB08PlayerDidAwesomeShared It's called the Nightweaver's Band. I wore this for years. I want you to have it now. It'll give your magic and sneakiness some much needed "oomph." DB08PlayerDidAwesomeShared Now, you'd better get a move on and see Astrid. It's time! Time for the final stage of this grand and glorious operation. DB08_09AstridHonorRespond1 Oh, I have the utmost faith in your success, believe me. So let's begin. DB08_09AstridHonorRespond1 Go now to Castle Dour in Solitude. Present the Gourmet's Writ of Passage to the officer in charge, Commander Maro. I'm sure you remember him. DB08_09AstridHonorRespond1 You'll gain unrestricted access to the kitchens, and then the Emperor. You're posing as a chef, so you'll be able to poison his meal rather easily. DB08_09AstridHonorRespond2 Yes. For Sithis... and the Night Mother. You are the Listener after all, hmm? So let's not waste any more time. DB08_09AstridHonorRespond2 Go now to Castle Dour in Solitude. Present the Gourmet's Writ of Passage to the officer in charge, Commander Maro. I'm sure you remember him. DB08_09AstridHonorRespond2 You'll gain unrestricted access to the kitchens, and then the Emperor. You're posing as a chef, so you'll be able to poison his meal rather easily. DB08_09AstridHonorRespond3 Hmph. Look at you. So calm. So confident. I do believe you were born for this task. So let's begin. DB08_09AstridHonorRespond3 Go now to Castle Dour in Solitude. Present the Gourmet's Writ of Passage to the officer in charge, Commander Maro. I'm sure you remember him. DB08_09AstridHonorRespond3 You'll gain unrestricted access to the kitchens, and then the Emperor. You're posing as a chef, so you'll be able to poison his meal rather easily. DB08_09AstridKillEmpTopic Oh yes. And I've decided you will have the honor. DB08_09AstridTransitionBranchTopic So it's done. You've killed the Gourmet. DB08_09AstridTransitionBranchTopic And now Titus Mede II is as good as dead. DB08_09AstridWhichPoison Here, take this - it's called Jarrin Root. DB08_09AstridWhichPoison All it takes is one taste, and the effects are quite immediate. The Emperor will be serving Sithis before he even knows he's dead. DB08_09AstridWhichPoison Once Mede has been killed, escape through the upper door, and across the bridge. I've "arranged" for it to be unguarded once the alarm is sounded. DB08_09AstridWhichPoison Now go, my friend. Go, and fulfill your destiny as Listener. DB08_FestusGourmetBranchTopic Nobody knows his true identity. Well, nobody except Gaius Maro, and you've already taken care of him. DB08_FestusGourmetBranchTopic I do know the Gourmet was classically trained in traditional Breton cuisine in High Rock. So that's where he must have met Anton Virane. DB08_FestusGourmetBranchTopic In any event, our anonymous chef shares a passion for food with all of Tamriel. And that anonymity will prove the Emperor's undoing. DB08_Festus_GourmetInnBranchTopic Yes. Gaius Maro, on orders from his father, arranged for the Gourmet to come to Skyrim months ago. To serve as the Emperor's personal chef. DB08_Festus_GourmetInnBranchTopic But the Emperor canceled his journey at the last minute. Maro was smart, kept the Gourmet around, in case things changed. DB08_Festus_GourmetInnBranchTopic And so, the Gourmet has remained in seclusion, somewhere in Skyrim... on indefinite hold. Probably feels like a prisoner. But you'll fix that. DB09AstridGoToSolitudeTopic Go now to Castle Dour in Solitude. Present the Gourmet's Write of Passage to the officer in charge, Commander Maro. I'm sure you remember him. DB09AstridJarrinBranchTopic It's a rare plant, found only on the island of Stros M'Kai. It can be served like any vegetable - cut up, put in a salad, perhaps boiled in a stew. DB09AstridJarrinBranchTopic One taste will lead to nearly instant death, so don't even think about it. DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic Charmed. DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic The Gourmet. Leave it to Titus to spare no expense. DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic I prefer a good roast duck. But your soup will do. DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic So glad we kept you in Skyrim. Serving your Emperor was worth the wait, of course. DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic You're not at all what I expected. I imagined you'd be fatter, honestly. DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic You've done your duty and we're all very grateful. Now... I'd like to eat. DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic I think something's... wrong... I... DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic Oh... Oh how marvelous. Just delicious. It is everything I had hoped it would be. It.... I.... DB09DinerTalkBranchTopic Oh... Oh how marvelous. Just delicious. It is everything I had hoped it would be. Please, everyone. Enjoy. DB09GiannaBusinessTopic Oh! Yes, but of course. Ahem. DB09GiannaBusinessTopic The Emperor has requested your signature dish - the Potage le Magnifique. I've taken the liberty of getting it started. DB09GiannaBusinessTopic But the cookbook only says so much, and everyone makes the Potage differently. I would be honored if we could make it... the Gourmet's special way. DB09GiannaBusinessTopic The base broth is already boiled. We can get started right now. So... which ingredient should I add next? DB09GiannaBusinessTopic Oh. Well, um, actually... you're not. Wearing a chef's hat, I mean. There's one right over there on the shelf. You can't very well cook without it... DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic Move along, citizen. DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic Not another delivery. I told you people, our stocks are fine. Now put whatever you have over there, then get out! DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic We'll begin as soon as you're wearing the hat. Check the shelf over there. Wouldn't want the Emperor mistaking you for someone else, now would we. DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic Oh, just look at you. Absolutely brilliant. Now... now you're just as I imagined. DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic The Emperor is going to love it. How can he not? DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic Keep it together, Gianna. Keep it together... DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic Maybe when this is all over, you could sign one of your cookbooks for me? DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic I'm so nervous. DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic Just go right into the tower, then straight ahead to the kitchen. Gianna's expecting you. DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic The Gourmet. This is such an honor. DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic The misses and I love your strawberry tarts. DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic Hmmm, the Potage le Magnifique. Smells delicious. DB09GiannaFirstGreetTopic Please, carry on. DB09GiannaIngredient1_1Topic Carrots? Really? Okay... DB09GiannaIngredient1_1Topic What next? DB09GiannaIngredient1_2Topic Ooohh.... how decadent. I never would have guessed it. DB09GiannaIngredient1_2Topic What next? DB09GiannaIngredient1_3Topic Oh, I get it. This is a test, right? You want to see how well I know the Potage le Magnifique. DB09GiannaIngredient1_3Topic Well then, I think a pinch of frost salts should do the trick, right? DB09GiannaIngredient1_3Topic Now what? DB09GiannaIngredient2_1Topic Vampire dust? Seriously? DB09GiannaIngredient2_1Topic Hmm... yes. I guess I can see how that would add a more... earthy texture. And, oddly enough, we do have some on hand... DB09GiannaIngredient2_1Topic All right. What next, then? DB09GiannaIngredient2_2Topic Ah, of course. I suspected as much. DB09GiannaIngredient2_3Topic My choice, then? Very well. I think we should add some Chaurus eggs. For additional flavor. DB09GiannaIngredient3_1Topic A... giant's toe? You're... sure about that? DB09GiannaIngredient3_2Topic Really? Oh, I use Nirnroot as a special seasoning all the time as well. What a wonderful idea. DB09GiannaIngredient3_2Topic Okay. Now what? DB09GiannaIngredient3_3Topic Ooookay.... Um.... Let me see. Thistle? Yes, let's try that. Just a sprig or two... DB09GiannaIngredient4_1Topic A Septim? As in... a gold coin? Really? DB09GiannaIngredient4_1Topic Ah, I see now. That would give the Potage le Magnifique a slightly metallic - but delicious - aftertaste. Simply brilliant. DB09GiannaIngredient4_1Topic I have to say, the stew seems done. Add anything else, and we may dilute the distinct flavors. So... is that it? DB09GiannaIngredient4_2Topic Hmmm... horker. So delicious. I swear, is there a soul alive who doesn't enjoy the taste of... DB09GiannaIngredient4_2Topic Sorry, I didn't mean to get carried away. There we go, one cup of diced horker meat. DB09GiannaIngredient4_2Topic I have to say, the stew seems done. Add anything else, and we may dilute the distinct flavors. So... is that it? DB09GiannaIngredient4_3Topic My choice, hmm? All right, then - tomatoes. Simple, yet infinitely flavorful. Don't you agree? DB09GiannaIngredient4_3Topic Well, I have to say, the stew seems done. Add anything else, and we may dilute the distinct flavors. So... is that it? DB09GiannaPlayerRespondTopic The... Gourmet? DB09GiannaPlayerRespondTopic Oh! Finally! When I heard the Gourmet was being brought in to cook for the Emperor, I could hardly believe it. DB09GiannaPlayerRespondTopic It's just... DB09GiannaPoisonNoTopic Excellent. They should be ready for us now. DB09GiannaPoisonNoTopic And if I may say so... it has been an honor, getting a chance to prepare a meal with, well... the best chef in the entire Empire. DB09GiannaPoisonNoTopic I'll carry the stew pot, and lead the way up to the dining room. I'm sure the Emperor and his guests are dying to meet you. DB09GiannaPoisonYesTopic Oh? What is this, some kind of herb? Are you sure? The Potage tastes perfect as it is. Any other ingredient might... DB09GiannaPotageReturnBranchTopic Maybe we should start over, hmm? We want the Gourmet's famous Potage le Magnifique to be perfect, after all. DB09GiannaPotageReturnBranchTopic So, what is the first special ingredient? DB09GiannaRaceArgonianTopic You... you're an Argonian! Where did you learn to cook like that? Surely not in Black Marsh. Why even the... DB09GiannaRaceBretonTopic Well, I just never expected the Gourmet to be a Breton. It almost seems too obvious. Some of the greatest cooks have been Bretons, and... DB09GiannaRaceDarkElfTopic I... Well, I just can't believe the Gourmet is a Dark Elf. How difficult it must have been for you in Morrowind. The food there is... DB09GiannaRaceHighElfTopic You're a High Elf! I... I never would have guessed it. So many of your recipes are clearly aimed at the commonfolk. It just seems... DB09GiannaRaceImperialTopic Well, I don't mean to seem disappointed, but... I just never figured the Gourmet was an Imperial. I had dreamed of something more exotic, maybe... DB09GiannaRaceKhajiitTopic You just keep quiet and stay where you are. Soon as my relief arrives, we'll all take a nice little trip. DB09GiannaRaceKhajiitTopic Oh, well, it's just... I never imagined the Gourmet was a Khajiit. You know, because of all the fur, and the potential for getting hair in the... DB09GiannaRaceKhajiitTopic You just keep quiet and stay where you are. Soon as my relief arrives, we'll all take a nice little trip. DB09GiannaRaceKhajiitTopic You look like a crazy man to me. And what's in that coffin, hmm? Maybe some time in a cell will help loosen that lying tongue. DB09GiannaRaceKhajiitTopic You there! Fool! Hold fast. You've been accused of a crime against the laws of this land. What say you in your defense? DB09GiannaRaceNordTopic You're a Nord! I never would have guessed it! But where in the world did you learn to cook like that? Here in Skyrim? Or maybe somewhere less... DB09GiannaRaceOrcTopic It's just... Well... you're an Orc! Ha ha ha! If the people of the Empire only knew! I mean, now I understand your need for secrecy. Most would... DB09GiannaRaceRedguardTopic Well, I'm just surprised the Gourmet is a Redguard. I had you pegged for a Wood Elf, honestly. You know, because of your use of... DB09GiannaRaceWoodElfTopic I guessed right! I... I always imagined the great Gourmet was a Wood Elf. You see, only someone with a knowledge of woodland herbs could combine... DB09MaroFirstGreetBranchTopic Stop right there. The tower is off limits until further notice. DB09MaroFirstGreetBranchTopic Gianna will be overjoyed to meet you. She's in the kitchens. DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic What's this now? DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic ...order of his eminence... ...possessor of these papers... the "Gourmet"... DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic By Azura. The Gourmet! DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic I... I'm sorry! Your clothes... of course... I should have realized! DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic Please, excuse my ignorance. Gianna, the castle chef, has been eagerly awaiting your arrival. You should proceed to the kitchens straight away. DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic What's this now? DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic ...order of his eminence... ...possessor of these papers... the "Gourmet"... DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic By Azura. The Gourmet! DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic I... I'm sorry! I didn't realize! We... we had no idea who to expect, you understand. You're not dressed as I would have suspected... DB09MaroPresentPapersTopic But please, don't let me keep you. Proceed to the kitchens straight away. Gianna, the castle chef, has been eagerly awaiting your arrival. DB09_GiannaDontQuestion1 Of course! I.... I'm sorry. One giant's toe. There. DB09_GiannaDontQuestion1 What, um... What next? DB09_GiannaDontQuestion2 Heh, I'm sorry. Of course. It's your most famous recipe, after all. DB09_GiannaDontQuestion2 All right then, your secret ingredient's been added. DB09_GiannaDontQuestion2 And if I may say so... it has been an honor, getting a chance to prepare a meal with, well... the best chef in the entire Empire. DB09_GiannaDontQuestion2 I'll carry the stew pot, and lead the way up to the dining room. I'm sure the Emperor and his guests are dying to meet you. DB10NazirSancLakeResponse1 She's here? By Sithis, I thought we'd lost her. Let's go! DB10NazirSancLakeResponse2 Oh! Well in that case, lead on. I'm right behind you. DB10NazirSancLakeWalkAwayBranchTopic I don't know, Babette. Looks like he may have suffered a head wound. Best not let him out of our sight... DB10NazirSancLakeWalkAwayBranchTopic I don't know, Babette. Looks like she may have suffered a head wound. Best not let her out of our sight... DB10NazirSancLakeWalkAwayBranchTopic Sleep. DB10NazirSancLakeWalkAwayBranchTopic Damn it, there's got to be a way out of here! DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Considering most of us are now dead, I assumed as much. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 And before you ask, no - I don't think it was you. Well, maybe I did, but you saving my sorry hide just now sort of erased any doubts. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 So thanks. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Watch out for pressure plates here. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 The door up ahead will be locked. Klotha, one of the hagravens, will have the key on her. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 I'll let you live. This time. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 I'll spare you - for now. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 All right, you've had enough. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 You're not worth it. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 I didn't think you had the stomach for it. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Point that somewhere else! DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Don't do that, it's mean! DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 You have a death wish? DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Careful there! DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 That's a dangerous game you're playing. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Woah... watch it! DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 I suggest you aim elsewhere. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Please! Don't shoot! DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Hmm? What're you doing? DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Now that's just rude. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 You're not going to shoot, right? DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 There's no need for that. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse1 Don't be a fool. DB10NazirSancPlayerResponse2 You've got that right. Only a matter of time before we're roasted alive. Come on! DB11AmaundEmperorDeadBranchTopic Aha! You're back! DB11AmaundEmperorWishTopic And what might that be? DB11AmaundInitialGreetTopicTopic What is it? I said I didn't wish to... be disturbed. DB11AmaundInitialGreetTopicTopic Don't worry, I'll stay right with you. DB11AmaundInitialGreetTopicTopic I think perhaps it might be best if you lead the way. My eyes aren't what they used to be. DB11AmaundInitialGreetTopicTopic This is all very strange. I've never seen anything like this. DB11AmaundJobDoneTopic I know! I know! I received the news not moments ago! Ha ha! This is glorious! DB11AmaundJobDoneTopic My friend, you may not realize it, but you have served the Empire, indeed all of Tamriel, in ways you cannot possibly imagine. DB11AmaundJobDoneTopic Ah, but you care little for politics, am I right? You want money! And money you shall have! DB11AmaundJobDoneTopic Your payment waits for you at a dead drop. It is inside an urn, in the very chamber where we first met, in Volunruud. DB11AmaundJobDoneTopic Now please, go. Collect your money, and let us never look upon one another again. Our business, thank the gods, is concluded. DB11AmaundKatariahBranchTopic Well, I don't know. DB11AmaundKatariahBranchTopic It's in the Solitude Inlet - that's the channel just north of the docks. DB11AmaundKatariahBranchTopic I suppose you should go to the docks and... swim? DB11AmaundOneThingBranchTopic Your payment awaits. And don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to betray you. DB11AmaundOneThingBranchTopic Oh, for the love of Mara, would you please just go? DB11AmaundPlayerMaroBranchTopic Ah, yes, I can imagine you'd want to settle that score. Last I heard he was at the Solitude Docks, conducting the Emperor's departure. DB11AmaundPlayerResponse4 You mean, after all that's transpired, the Dark Brotherhood will still... honor the contract? DB11AmaundPlayerResponse4 Why, this is astounding news! Wonderful news! DB11AmaundPlayerResponse4 The Emperor is still in Skyrim, but not for long. He's onboard his ship, the Katariah, moored offshore in the Solitude Inlet. But you must hurry! DB11AmaundPlayerResponse4 If you can get onboard that ship. Kill Titus Mede II, as contracted... I will reveal the location of the dead drop that holds your payment. DB11AmaundSecurityBranchTopic Surely you're joking? DB11AmaundSecurityBranchTopic This is the true Emperor, not some half-Septim lookalike. He'll be surrounded by elite bodyguards, I'm sure. You'll have your work cut out for you. DB11AmaundSecurityBranchTopic Still... everyone assumes the Dark Brotherhood has been completely destroyed. They may be a bit more lax than usual. DB11BabetteGreetTopic I'll admit, I'm having trouble coming to terms with all of this. I'll just follow Nazir's lead. DB11BabetteGreetTopic I was hoping you'd say that. DB11BabetteGreetTopic Babette, my girl - pack your things. We're moving. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse1 But of course. You and I have a date with destiny. But so it is with assassins and emperors, hmm? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse1 Yes, I must die. And you must deliver the blow. It is simply the way it is. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse1 But I wonder... would you suffer an old man a few more words before the deed is done? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse2 Oh, you can save your sinister bravado. I'll not go to my grave whimpering like an infant. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse2 I know why you're here. I must die. And you must deliver the blow. It is simply the way it is. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse2 But I wonder... would you suffer an old man a few more words before the deed is done? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse3 You and I have a date with destiny, it would seem. But so it is with assassins and emperors, hmm? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse3 Yes, I must die. And you must deliver the blow. It is simply the way it is. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse3 But I wonder... would you suffer an old man a few more words before the deed is done? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse4 I thank you for your courtesy. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse4 You will kill me, and I have accepted that fate. But regardless of your path through life, I sense in you a certain... ambition. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse4 So I ask of you a favor. An old man's dying wish. While there are many who would see me dead, there is one who set the machine in motion. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse4 This person, whomever he or she may be, must be punished for their treachery. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse4 Once you have been rewarded for my assassination, I want you to kill the very person who ordered it. Would you do me this kindness? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse5 Tsk. How unfortunate. I had hoped you would honor an old man's dying wish. Well, let's be done with it then. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse6 You will hear me out, then? Good. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse6 You will kill me, and I have accepted that fate. But regardless of your path through life, I sense in you a certain... ambition. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse6 So I ask of you a favor. An old man's dying wish. While there are many who would see me dead, there is one who set the machine in motion. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse6 This person, whomever he or she may be, must be punished for their treachery. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse6 Once you have been rewarded for my assassination, I want you to kill the very person who ordered it. Would you do me this kindness? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse7 Thank you. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse7 Now, on to the business at hand I suppose, hmm? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse7 Well? I won't fight you, so we may as well get this over with. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse7 Don't you have all the information you need? Please, the Emperor isn't going to kill himself. Hmph. Now wouldn't that be a blessing... DB11EmperorPlayerResponse8 Hmph. Pity. I had hoped to obtain even a modicum of justice. DB11EmperorPlayerResponse8 Well, on to the business at hand then, hmm? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse9 Well. Perhaps you'll at least consider it, hmm? DB11EmperorPlayerResponse9 Now, on to the business at hand... DB11EmperorTalkFirstGreet Come now, don't be shy. You haven't come this far just to stand there gawking. DB11EmperorWishPlayerResponse1 You assassins and your riddles. It really does get very annoying, you know. Now if you'll excuse me... DB11EmperorWishPlayerResponse2 Ha! Well, I certainly do feel that way. DB11EmperorWishPlayerResponse2 Now, if, um... you'll get going? DB11EmperorWishPlayerResponse3 Yes? No? Nothing? DB11EmperorWishPlayerResponse3 Very well, then. If you'll just... get going now... DB11MaroPlayerGreetAttackTopic By the gods... you! But it can't be. You're dead. You... Yeaaaahhhh! DB11MotierreShockGreetTopic By the gods. You... you're alive! But I had heard... your Sanctuary... DB11MotierreShockGreetTopic Please! You mustn't think I had anything to do with that! I wanted the Emperor dead! The true Emperor! I still do! It was Maro! He... DB11NazirBeginGreetTopic By Sithis, what a mess. I guess this is the end. DB11NazirBeginGreetTopic You just worry about fulfilling the contract. I'll take care of things on this end. DB11NazirBeginPlayerResponse1 What? Well - what did she say? DB11NazirBeginPlayerResponse2 Amaund Motierre? But that would mean... DB11NazirBeginPlayerResponse2a You mean... there's still a chance? But how? Our plan has gone to ruin, everyone is dead, the Family... DB11NazirBeginPlayerResponse3 Hmph. All right, then. Go. Go, my Listener. Find out what that slimy bastard Motierre has to say, then send the Emperor to Sithis. DB11NazirBeginPlayerResponse3 Ah, but when you're done, there's no use returning here, is there? I was thinking... the Dawnstar Sanctuary. We could make a proper home there. DB11NazirBeginPlayerResponse3 Listen, when you're finished with this Emperor business, meet Babette and me there. I'll find some way to move the Night Mother. Don't worry. Now go! DB11NazirBeginPlayerResponse3 And come back with a barrel full of gold, hmm? DB11NazirPlayerResponse1 Truly? DB11NazirPlayerResponse1 Could you have brought us more wondrous news? Recent events notwithstanding, this is a happy day for us, my friend. DB11NazirPlayerResponse1 Despite your misfortunes, you stayed true to the Dark Brotherhood. You've saved us all, and for this you have my eternal thanks. DB11NazirPlayerResponse1 Now, of course I must ask... Killing the Emperor... How much did Motierre pay for such a thing? DB11RexusGreetTopic Well I'll be damned. We heard you were dead. Motierre's in the back room, if you've got business. DB11RexusGreetTopic Please, make haste. The Emperor's ship won't stayed moored forever. We won't get a chance like this again. DBAgnisGreetBranchTopic You fighter types are always underfoot. You want me to clean? Then scat! DBAgnisGreetBranchTopic I really must get back to my duties. This fort isn't going to clean itself. DBAgnisKillChoice1BranchTopic But I have many more rooms to clean. Fort Greymoor is quite large, and rather filthy if I do say. DBAgnisKillChoice2BranchTopic Sleep? I can't sleep now! There's too much to be done. And what's this Void you're rambling on about? DBAgnisKillChoice3BranchTopic I swear, you people are an odd bunch. Please, just step aside, that I may return to my duties! DBAlainAdditionalTalkBranchTopic I don't know how you made it this far, but you'll go no farther. DBAnoriathGreetBranchTopic You're making me... nervous. Is there something you need? DBAnoriathGreetBranchTopic I find your presence... unnerving. Please depart. DBAnoriathKillChoice1BranchTopic Are you... threatening me? Walk away fool. It's not worth it. DBAnoriathKillChoice2BranchTopic Is that so? We shall see, villain. We shall see! DBAnoriathKillChoice3BranchTopic Well now, you are a strange one. You remind me a bit of myself, when I'm stalking a deer. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that... DBArnbjornFirstResponse I'll give you a week before you end up dead in a ditch. DBAstrid03CompleteBranchTopic Ah, you're back. So, how went your first real contract? A bit more exciting than what Nazir's been offering, I'd wager. DBAstrid03GiveBranchTopic Ah, there you are. Good, I was done speaking with that muttering fool anyway. We've got some business to discuss. DBAstrid03GiveBranchTopic You. Over here! DBAstrid03GiveBranchTopic Come on, this way. DBAstrid03GiveBranchTopic Let's keep moving. That thing is still out there. DBAstrid03GiveBranchTopic Let me see if I can get that door open. DBAstrid03GiveBranchTopic There you go. Take a look around, there should be plenty of gear to choose from. I'm going to see if I can find something for these burns. DBAstridAdmirerTopic Half of Skyrim knows. Old hag gets butchered in her own orphanage? Things like that tend to get around. DBAstridAdmirerTopic Oh, but don't misunderstand. I'm not criticizing. It was a good kill. Old crone had it coming. And you saved a group of urchins, to boot. DBAstridAdmirerTopic Ah, but there is a slight... problem. DBAstridAdviceAstridBranchTopic Me? I like to talk to my targets before the kill. Taunt them, scare them... even challenge them. DBAstridAdviceAstridBranchTopic That can have interesting results. Some victims may flee, others may cower in fear. DBAstridAdviceAstridBranchTopic If you can goad a target into attacking you first, you may even find any local guards coming to your aid. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Just be yourself. Eliminate the targets any way you see fit. Quiet, loud, quick, slow - whatever you feel is best. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Occasionally I'll give you a contract with certain parameters. Stay within them, and you'll earn yourself a bonus. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic I just cook, and clean, and do whatever it is they ask of me. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic I can't even keep track of all the people who have been in and out of this fort. They come, they go. I barely notice. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Hard enough to keep up with who owns this fort. One side takes over, the other runs away. I tell them, "I ain't leaving! I come with the place!" Ha! DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic I remember one morning, long time ago, I woke up and the place was run by some Orcs. Went to bed that night, it was all vampires. Don't matter to me. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Now, then. I been gabbin' long enough. Too much cleanin' to do. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Ha. I'd like to see those arrogant bastards taken down a notch. Always looking down their noses at us lowly footsloggers. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic If a dragon does show up, maybe we'll get lucky and it will eat the mages first. Might give us enough time to kill it. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Ah, good. I've been wondering how we were supposed to defend this place from a dragon. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic No. They're high mages, just in from Alinor. I guess Herself is finally getting worried about all the dragon attacks. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Did you see those robes march in this morning? Who're they with? More of the Emissary's treaty enforcers? DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic I'll see you back in Riverwood. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Let's get out of here. DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic No.... Not again! DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic No more.... No more! DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Don't kill me.... I don't want to die! DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic I... won't... surrender! DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Call... that... a... swing? DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic You.... You'll pay for this.... DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic I'll never submit! DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic Do your worst, monster! DBAstridAdviceBranchTopic I won't bend. Never! DBAstridCaughtBranchTopic Try not to? DBAstridCaughtBranchTopic But I do realize it's sometimes not that easy. You may want to make a statement, or a contract may require a public killing. DBAstridCaughtBranchTopic Murder is, obviously, a very serious crime, and a very high bounty will be put on your head in the hold where the act was committed. DBAstridCaughtBranchTopic You can run, obviously, but you'll still have a price on your head. If a guard attacks, you can attempt to yield by sheathing your weapon. DBAstridCaughtBranchTopic If the guard accepts, you can serve your time in a cell, or pay your bounty. We've all gone through it. We do what we must to survive. DBAstridCaughtBranchTopic But, there is another option. Some members of the Thieves Guild in Riften can get their bounties... erased. For a price. Something to think about. DBAstridCiceroOpinionTopicTopic Well, he's quite obviously mad. Whether or not that makes him dangerous is another question entirely. DBAstridCiceroOpinionTopicTopic Do I trust him? Not in the slightest. DBAstridCivilWarBlocker You! You're responsible for the siege of Solitude! By Sithis, this undermines all our plans! Fool! Finish that mess, and only then will we speak! DBAstridCivilWarBlocker2 You! You're responsible for the siege of that... city! By Sithis, this undermines all our plans! Fool! Finish that mess, and only then will we speak! DBAstridContractsBranchTopic They used to come from the Night Mother. Potential clients would perform the Black Sacrament, and she would hear their prayers. DBAstridContractsBranchTopic The Night Mother would communicate this to the Listener, who would then dispatch a Speaker to arrange the contract with the client. DBAstridContractsBranchTopic But that was a long time ago. There hasn't been a Listener in years, not since Cyrodiil was overrun in the war with the Thalmor. DBAstridContractsBranchTopic But people don't know that. So they still perform the ritual... and we eventually hear about it. When someone wants us, we find out. DBAstridNextStep1Topic Our Family, my dearest. Our Family. Together, united as one, the Dark Brotherhood can accomplish anything. DBAstridNextStep1Topic But you must be anxious to get to work. I'm arranging a job, but need a bit more time. For now, go see Nazir. He's got several smaller contracts. DBAstridNextStep1Topic Soon, the Night Mother will arrive. And things around here are sure to get even more interesting. DBAstridNextStep1Topic Ah, but one last thing. A welcome home present. The armor of the Dark Brotherhood. May it serve you well in all your... endeavors. DBAstridNextStep2Topic Soon, my dearest. Soon. DBAstridNextStep2Topic I'm arranging a job for you, but I need some more time. For now, go talk to Nazir. He may have some smaller contracts to tide you over. DBAstridNextStep2Topic Soon, the Night Mother will arrive. And things around here are sure to get even more interesting. DBAstridNextStep2Topic Ah, but one last thing. A welcome home present. The armor of the Dark Brotherhood. May it serve you well in all your... endeavors. DBAstridNextStep3Topic Hmm... Yes, the silence suits you. Gives you an air of mystery. DBAstridNextStep3Topic Now, down to business. I'm arranging a job for you. But in the meantime, go talk to Nazir. He may have some smaller contracts to tide you over. DBAstridNextStep3Topic Soon, the Night Mother will arrive. And things around here are sure to get even more interesting. DBAstridNextStep3Topic Ah, but one last thing. A welcome home present. The armor of the Dark Brotherhood. May it serve you well in all your... endeavors. DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Yes. A few months ago I received word from the Night Mother's Keeper that he had arrived in Skyrim from Cyrodiil. DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic The Night Mother's crypt, in Bravil, was destroyed. A result of the chaos caused by the war with the Thalmor. That forced a relocation. DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic I don't know where the Keeper has been these past few months, but I recently received another letter. He's bringing the Night Mother here. Soon. DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic I don't know who you are, or what's going on here, but you ought to be ashamed of yourself. DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic What's happening? Damn it, what are you doing? DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Get these things off of me! DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Cowards! Stealing a woman from her home! For shame! DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic By the gods, when I get out of here you're dead! You hear me? Dead! DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Aggghh! Re...lease me! DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Thank you! Thank you! I won't tell anyone what happened here, I swear it! DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Oh, gods, please! Let me live! I'll do anything you want! DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic I... I can hear you talking out there. Please, let me go. I've done nothing to you. DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Is this about that raid last week? I told Holgrim there was no honor in killing sleeping men, but he wouldn't listen! It wasn't my fault, I swear! DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic I'm just a soldier. Killing is my job! Surely you can't fault a man for doing his job? DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Please, oh please, I don't want to die... DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Ah, sweet freedom. Now that's more like it. You have my thanks, stranger. DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Whoever this is, clearly we got off on the wrong foot. Ah, but no worries. This is not the first time I have been bagged and dragged. DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Come now. Whatever the problem, we can talk about it like civilized folk. Hmm? DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic Hello? Hello? Ah, I know you're listening. DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic A man in my position makes lots of enemies. But what is a life-threatening situation if not an opportunity for mutual benefit? Hmmm? DBAstridNightMotherArriveBranchTopic You'll let me go. I know you will. This is all just part of the game we play... DBAstridNightMotherBranchTopic The Unholy Matron, the Shrouded Lady, the Mistress of the Void. She goes by many names. DBAstridNightMotherBranchTopic Ages past, Sithis gave a woman five children. She killed them to win his favor, thus becoming the Night Mother. If you believe that sort of thing. DBAstridNightMotherBranchTopic Today, she's... well, she's a skeleton. An ancient corpse. But, more importantly, a corpse that's being brought to this Sanctuary by her Keeper. DBAstridNightMotherPresenceBranchTopic Very little. You have my word on that. The Night Mother represents a chapter in the Dark Brotherhood's history that has long since been closed. DBAstridNightMotherPresenceBranchTopic Today we live by our own rules. We're the last Sanctuary in all of Tamriel, and only by forgoing the old ways have we survived for so long. DBAstridNightMotherPresenceBranchTopic My only worry is her "Keeper." I'm not sure what Cicero expects to gain by bringing the Night Mother here, but he'll soon learn this is my Sanctuary. DBAstridO3GiveQuestTopic1 I do indeed. DBAstridO3GiveQuestTopic1 You must go to the city of Markarth, and speak with the apothecary's assistant. You'll probably find her in The Hag's Cure, when the shop is open. DBAstridO3GiveQuestTopic1 The girl's been running her mouth, wants an ex-lover killed. She's apparently performed the Black Sacrament. DBAstridO3GiveQuestTopic1 Her name is Muiri. I need you to talk to her, set up the contract, and carry it out. DBAstridO3GiveQuestTopic2 Just do whatever the contact wishes. Be professional, represent us well, and get the job done. DBAstridO3GiveQuestTopic2 Since it's your first contract, I'll let you keep whatever Muiri pays. She'll be generous, I'm sure. They always are. DBAstridPlayerWhereTopic Does it matter? You're warm, dry... and still very much alive. That's more than can be said for old Grelod. Hmm? DBAstridPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Please. Not now. You'll know when I'm ready to discuss the issue. DBAstridRulesBranchTopic Used to be the Dark Brotherhood was bound by Five Tenets, but we stopped following those years ago. DBAstridRulesBranchTopic All those rules, all that discipline, and look where the Dark Brotherhood ended up. We're the last of our kind, and we live the way we see fit. DBAstridRulesBranchTopic Bottom line - respect your Family. Do that, and everything else will fall into place. DBAstridSanctuaryFirstArriveTopic Ah, at last! I hope you found the place all right. DBAstridSanctuaryGreetTopic Well, what happens now is you start your new life in the Dark Brotherhood. You're part of the Family, after all. DBAstridSanctuaryGreetTopic This, as you can see, is our Sanctuary. You won't find a safer place in all of Skyrim. So get comfortable. DBAstridSanctuaryGreetTopic And you. A Stormcloak? I'd thought better of you. You'll all come to regret this day. DBAstridSecondGreetForcegreet Oh ho. The whimpering Nord, eh? Yes, yes, I can see how you'd come to that conclusion. Interesting choice. DBAstridSecondGreetForcegreet Ah, the feisty goodwife. Quite the mouth on her. Someone must have wanted her dead... right? DBAstridSecondGreetForcegreet The conniving Khajiit. Cat like that was sure to have enemies. It's no wonder you chose him. DBAstridSecondGreetForcegreet The blubbering barbarian and the tenacious mother. Must have been one of them, right? DBAstridSecondGreetForcegreet The timid warrior and the sly Khajiit. Must have been one or the other, right? DBAstridSecondGreetForcegreet Hmm. The fearless wife and mother, and the underhanded Khajiit. Had to be one of them, right? Interesting choice. DBAstridSecondGreetForcegreet Well, well. Aren't we the overachiever. Three possibilities, three victims. Must have been one of them, right? So why take chances... DBAstridSecondGreetForcegreet Remember, the Sanctuary is in the southern Pine Forest. Just beneath the road, and away from prying eyes. DBAstridSecondGreetResponse1 Oh. No, no, no. Don't you understand? Guilt, innocence, right, wrong.... Irrelevant. What matters is I ordered you to kill someone, and you obeyed. DBAstridSecondGreetResponse1 That's what I thought. DBAstridSecondGreetResponse1 Never you mind, then. I'll find a more charitable soul. DBAstridSecondGreetResponse1 So you can spend it on drinks at the Bannered Mare? If it's food you need, ask for that instead. DBAstridSecondGreetResponse1 Spare a coin for a fellow Nord who's down on his luck? DBAstridSecondGreetResponse2 Indeed. For you, my friend, seem to understand what's truly important. When I give an order to spill blood, you follow it. No questions. No remorse. DBAstridSecondGreetResponse3 Hmph. When most would speak, you listen. You think. You understand that the only thing that matters is you following my orders. To kill. DBAstridSleepGreetBranchTopic Who I am really isn't as important as what I am. And what I am is an admirer. Of sorts. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Now that is a shame. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic But what you fail to realize is that you involved yourself in this "insanity" when you took Grelod's life. You made your choice. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Now it's time to face the consequences of your actions. You don't leave this shack until someone dies. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic This isn't over. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic You hear me you old fool! This isn't over! DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic The Empire will return. Count on it. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Yes, but not likely the one you intend. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic He's right. Galmar, come, let us restore order. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Come Galmar, we have much to do. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Jarl Black-Briar. I must admit, I do like the sound of that. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic And don't worry about any rioting, Legate. I have it under control. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic We will soon begin publicly executing captured men. That should send a clear message to the people. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Indeed. Come, there is much to be done. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Enough! Both of you! DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic There is a burning city out there that needs a government. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Are you two quite done? DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic You, go pack your things. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic And you, go sit on that damn chair and start acting like a Jarl. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic If you ladies are finished bickering, there's much to be done. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Jarl Black-Briar put your government together. Do it now, or there will be rioting in the streets. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic We must move quickly to prevent further violence. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic If you two are finished with the touching homecoming, there's a city in chaos out there. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Vignar Gray-Mane! Your family was noticeably absent from the walls. Now I know why. Wouldn't a dagger in the back have sufficed? DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Thongvor. I should have executed your whole treacherous clan when I had the chance. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic So enters Maven Black-Briar, the glint of Imperial coin in her eyes. So tell me, what's the price for a woman's integrity these days? DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Welcome back. I've left a few surprises for you to discover. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Balgruuf! DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Ready to listen to the Silver-Blood family now, Igmund? DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic I think I'll like living here. DBAstridSleepReaction1Topic Ahhh... It's good to be home. DBAstridSleepReaction2Topic See, I knew we could resolve this civilly. A debt owed must be repaid. You understand that. DBAstridSleepReaction2Topic Well, get to it then. Pick your guest, and send the poor fool to the Void. I'll give you the key to this shack, and you'll be on your way. DBAstridSleepReaction3Topic Am I to take your silence as acceptance? DBAstridSleepReaction3Topic Then you know where we stand. Make your kill, and we're square. Repayment of your debt is but a discreet knife thrust away. DBAstridThirdGreetBranchTopic Of course. And you've repaid your debt, in full. Here's the key to the shack. But why stop here? I say we take our relationship to the next level. DBAstridThirdGreetBranchTopic I would like to officially extend to you an invitation to join my Family. The Dark Brotherhood. DBAstridThirdGreetBranchTopic In the southwest reaches of Skyrim, in the Pine Forest, you'll find the entrance to our Sanctuary. It's just beneath the road, hidden from view. DBAstridThirdGreetBranchTopic When questioned by the Black Door, answer with the correct passphrase: "Silence, my brother." Then you're in. And your new life begins. DBAstridThirdGreetBranchTopic I'll see you at home. DBAstridWakeUpTopic Sleep well? DBAstridWakeUpTopic The anticipation is killing me. Can you figure out who has the contract? Which one will you choose? DBAstridWhoToKillTopic Well now. Funny you should ask. DBAstridWhoToKillTopic If you turn around, you'll notice my guests. I've "collected" them from... well, that's not really important. The here and now. That's what matters. DBAstridWhoToKillTopic You see, there's a contract out on one of them, and that person can't leave this room alive. But... which one? Go on, see if you can figure it out. DBAstridWhoToKillTopic Make your choice. Make your kill. I just want to observe... and admire. DBBabetteFirstResponse You're going to love it here. We have a lot of fun, and we look out for each other. Just like any family. DBBeitildKillChoice1BranchTopic And let me guess, that someone is my so-called husband Leigelf? Well the feeling's mutual. DBBeitildKillChoice2BranchTopic What? Well, we'll see about that now, won't we? DBBeitildKillChoice3BranchTopic I've a mine to run, so if you'll excuse me... DBBetildGreetBranchTopic I'm really not in the mood. State your business, or take your leave. DBBetildGreetBranchTopic I'm busy, and you're bothering me. So go away. DBBlackDoorDawnstarSanctuaryEnterBranchTopic What is life's greatest illusion? DBBlackDoorNotWorthy You are not worthy. DBBlackDoorSanctuaryTopic What is the music of life? DBCiceroAngryRoadBranchTopic Someone lied. Someone told the guard poor Cicero did something he did not. We were detained, delayed! The Night Mother kept from her new home! DBCiceroAngryRoadBranchTopic But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you? Hmmm? No. No... Of course not. Because then Cicero would get angry, and that would be... ugly. DBCiceroAngryRoadBranchTopic Now Loreius. Loreius has learned the meaning of ugly. DBCiceroEndgameShared Oh yes, it is Cicero! You were a fool to spare me. What, did you think I would be grateful? Cicero should be Listener! Not you! Now you will die! DBCiceroEndgameShared ... DBCiceroEndgameShared Ahhh.... gotcha! Oh, Listener, you should see the look on your face! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! DBCiceroEndgameShared Oh, Cicero has returned! Not to kill the kind Listener, but to serve, until one of us dies horribly, in service to our Mother! Best friends forever! DBCiceroEndgameShared In the meantime, I'll make myself at home in the Sanctuary. I'm sure Mother needs... tending. DBCiceroMetRoadReponse I am! I am! But not just my mother. Our mother, hmm? The Night Mother! Oh yes! DBCiceroMetRoadReponse And you helped me! You helped poor Cicero! You talked to Loreius, got him to fix my wheel! DBCiceroMetRoadReponse Oh, you may have pleased me, but you have surely pleased the Night Mother. And our mother, she will never forget. DBCiceroMetRoadReponse I am! I am! But not just my mother. Our mother, hmm? The Night Mother! Oh yes! DBCiceroMetRoadReponse But you disappeared! You were there... then you weren't! Did you mean to help poor Cicero or not? I'm left to wonder... DBCiceroMetRoadReponse Ah, it doesn't matter. What's done is done, right? Cicero is here! As is the Night Mother! Joy of joys! DBCiceroMetRoadReponse I am! I am! But not just my mother. Our mother, hmm? The Night Mother! Oh yes! DBCiceroMetRoadReponse Oh, but you didn't help poor Cicero! You helped that stupid farmer! Stupid Loreius! Oh, the guard said cruel things about us. Untrue things... DBCiceroNeverMetResponse1 So polite! So nice! Cicero likes you. The Night Mother is sure to like you too. Oh, we're going to be fast friends. Fast friends. DBCiceroNeverMetResponse2 Do you mistrust poor Cicero? I am, as you say, just an innocent jester. A fool! Oh, but my work is not foolish, no. For I am our mother's Keeper. DBCiceroNeverMetResponse3 Oooh... So silent. So menacing. A true assassin of the old way. Cicero likes you. Oh yes, Cicero likes you, indeed. DBCiceroPlayerSancGreetBranchTopic Wait, oh wait. I know you! Yes, yes. From the road! Cicero never forgets a face. DBCiceroPlayerSancGreetBranchTopic Another member of the Family! Hello, hello. So very good to meet you. DBCiceroPlayerSancGreetBranchTopic No time to talk now, my friend. No time. Out mistress needs tending. Keeping. DBCiceroPlayerSancGreetBranchTopic Why talk? Cicero has nothing to say to you. Call it a matter of... trust. DBCiceroPlayerSancGreetBranchTopic Oh, I do wish we could get to know each other better. But not now! I must tend to mother. See her settled. DBCiceroPlayerSancGreetBranchTopic Hmph. DBCiceroPlayerSancGreetBranchTopic Keep talking, little man, and we'll see who gets "punished." DBCiceroPlayerSancScrewedHim He said I attacked someone! On the road! But it never happened. Never. Sweet mother and I were just waiting. My knife was sheathed! DBCiceroPlayerSancScrewedHim He said I was transporting weapons! For the war! In mother's coffin! He made me... open it! Indignity! Sacrilege! DBCiceroPlayerSancScrewedHim He said I stole something! Me! Poor Cicero. A common thief. The very thought is insulting. One might even say... maddening. DBCiceroPostQuestAliveBranchTopic Listener! DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic Oh yes, Cicero and the Listener! On the hunt! DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic Off we go. DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic Oh, but the Listener jests with poor Cicero. You already have company. You don't need my help at all. DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic I am honored to be chosen. DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic Lead on, Listener. DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic But you already have a traveling companion. I fear I would just get in the way. DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic I am yours, Listener. DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic Yes, Listener. DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic Oh, well... You seem to already have assistance. Surely you mean to remain inconspicuous... DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic As for myself, you've proven your mastery twice over. Thuri, Dovahkiin. I gladly acknowledge the power of your Thu'um. DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic And so Alduin's lordship passes to you. Thuri, Dovahkiin. I gladly submit to your mastery of the Thu'um. DBCiceroStateFollowBranchTopic Zu'u Odahviing. Call me when you have need, and I will come if I can. DBCiceroStateNevermindBranchTopic Oh, all right then, Listener. Cicero will just carry on with what he was doing. Until you say otherwise. DBCiceroStateNevermindBranchTopic Very well, Listener. DBCiceroStateNevermindBranchTopic As you wish, Listener. DBCiceroStateSanctuaryBranchTopic Home again, home again! I'll return to the Night Mother straightaway! DBCiceroStateSanctuaryBranchTopic Oh, of course. Mother needs me, after all. DBCiceroStateSanctuaryBranchTopic I will return to the Dawnstar Sanctuary immediately, Listener. DBCiceroStateSanctuaryBranchTopic Yes, Listener. I'll be here if you need me. DBCiceroStateSanctuaryBranchTopic Yes, Listener. I'll return to the Dawnstar Sanctuary without delay. DBCiceroStateSanctuaryBranchTopic Of course. But if you need me, just give the order. DBCiceroStateTradeBranchTopic Ooh! Listener! That tickles! DBCiceroStateTradeBranchTopic Of course. DBCiceroStateTradeBranchTopic Yes, Listener. DBCiceroStateWaitBranchTopic Yes, Listener! I will remain in this very spot until you tell me otherwise. Spiders could eat my face off and faithful Cicero would not move an inch! DBCiceroStateWaitBranchTopic Yes, Listener. I won't move unless you give the word. DBCiceroStateWaitBranchTopic I'll remain in this location until ordered otherwise. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch1Topic The Night Mother's crypt in Bravil was... desecrated. The Imperial Province is ravaged by strife. Nowhere there is safe, at present. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch1Topic So Cicero brought our Lady to her new home. Here! This is the only Sanctuary left in all of Skyrim, you see. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch1Topic Such was my... honor. As Keeper. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch2Topic What? Who is the Night Mother? DBCiceroTopLevelBranch2Topic Oh! Oh, you jest! You jest with gullible Cicero! DBCiceroTopLevelBranch2Topic You of course know that the Night Mother is our Unholy Matron. The undying spirit of a great woman who birthed the children of Sithis. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch2Topic And killed them. In his honor. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch3Topic Oh, Cicero takes care of our Lady's body. Oils it, preserves it, keeps it safe. Makes sure nobody disrespects our Matron's coffin. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch4Topic He is... the Void. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch4Topic Hmm... That's like telling you about the cold of space, or terror of midnight. Sithis is all those things. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch5Topic Oh, well, the Listener is the only person the Night Mother speaks to. It is the highest honor attainable by a member of the Dark Brotherhood. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch5Topic Of course our Lady is dead, so she doesn't talk with words, since her lips are... rotted. But inside the Listener's head. I hear it's... intimate. DBCiceroTopLevelBranch5Topic Ah, but there has not been a Listener in years and years. Our Lady has not chosen Cicero, and certainly not Astrid. Or... anyone. But some day... DBCiceroTopLevelBranch5Topic Ha! Why you are, silly! You are the Listener! You are the Listener! Such a kidder... DBCiceroTopLevelBranch5Topic You must realize what a great honor this is. For the Night Mother to have chosen you... I am just in awe. You have Cicero's utmost confidence! DBDawnstarDoorPlayerResponse1 Welcome home. DBDeekusGreetBranchTopic Hrm. You go find your own wreck. This one's mine. DBDeekusGreetBranchTopic Go away! This is my wreck! Mine! DBDeekusKillChoice1aBranchTopic All right, everyone. Let's be careful, but have fun! DBDeekusKillChoice1aBranchTopic J'zargo... what shall we have you do... Ah! Why don't you verify that we're the first ones here? Look for any amount of tampering with the tombs. DBDeekusKillChoice1aBranchTopic Onmund, please search that area over there. See if you notice any... residual energies. Alive or undead. DBDeekusKillChoice1aBranchTopic Brelyna, my dear, why don't you search for warding magics. Anything designed to keep people out. Don't interact with them, just identify them. DBDeekusKillChoice1aBranchTopic Now, let's see. What shall we have the rest of you do? DBDeekusKillChoice2BranchTopic You'll have to catch me first! DBDeekusKillChoice3BranchTopic Go away! I don't know who you are, but this is my spot! Whatever's on that ship is mine! DBDestroyGuardReportBranchTopic You did what? DBDestroyGuardReportBranchTopic By the gods, you're serious. You'd better report this to Commander Maro right away. He's at the Penitus Oculatus outpost, up in Dragon Bridge. DBDestroyMaroDoneBranchTopic By all I hold holy... Can it be true? Have you actually done it? DBDestroyMaroDoneBranchTopic This is a great day, my friend. You have struck a blow against darkness that will not soon be forgotten! Here, as promised - a most generous reward! DBDestroyMaroFirstReportBranchTopic The leader of the Dark Brotherhood? You mean Astrid? Dead? And this is no jest? DBDestroyMaroFirstReportBranchTopic Ha! This is a stroke of good fortune. Long have I watched the Dark Brotherhood's movements... waiting for the time to strike. That time is now! DBDestroyMaroFirstReportBranchTopic My agents have recently acquired the passphrase to their Sanctuary. It is, "Silence, my brother." Every assassin in that hole must be put down! DBDestroyMaroFirstReportBranchTopic You, my friend. You've slain their leader. This honor should be yours. Do this, and you will be rewarded most handsomely! DBDestroyMaroInProgressBranchTopic We have a chance to destroy the Dark Brotherhood, forever. It's all up to you. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Why are you here? Get away from me! DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic By the gods! Somebody help me! DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Oh, I see. Well, I'm sorry to have troubled you about it. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Just... know that your efforts are appreciated. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I'm not looking for special treatment, Aval. All I did was talk to Ulfric. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic For all I know, he's already forgotten the conversation. I wouldn't get your hopes up. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic But I insist. and with good reason. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Malthyr told me that you've been speaking to Ulfric about our situation. He said you're going to help us. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic So few Nords have ever offered to help us, a discount is the least I can do. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic That's not necessary. I'll pay the same price as anyone else. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Friend Brunwulf, how good to see you! DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic If you see anything you like, just let me know and I'll glad offer you a discount. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic So serious! (Laughter) DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic What is it Ulfric's always saying... "On my honor as a Nord, I swear it." (Laughter). DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Just promise me when you get some more in, I'll have the first crack at them. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic You know, I'm not sure. My husband's been tending to the vines, so I'll have to ask him. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Is that new batch of tomatoes ready for sale yet, Hillevi? DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic You're such a wet blanket, captain. Can't a girl have a little fun from time to time? DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic If that business proposition includes smuggling, forget it. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic The sailors I know are plenty good at finding trouble without any help from you. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I was wondering if you still had many associates in the shipping profession. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I have a business proposition for any sailors who might be looking to make a few extra septims. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic A pleasure to see you as well, Niranye. What can I do for you? DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Captain Lonely-Gale, it's always a pleasure to see you. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic In fact, I'm glad you're here. There's something I'd like to ask you. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Oh, I see. Yes, yes of course I'll take a look. Just bring them by whenever it's convenient for you. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I have some things that belonged to my daughter, Friga. She... she won't be needing them any more. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Yes, that's right. Whether or not I'm interested depends on what you've got, of course. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I understand you purchase used goods, as well as sell them? DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic The eyes of the law are everywhere these days. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic The guards are looking for a killer, but who knows what else they might turn up? Good day. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Not that I'd know anything about it, of course, but it seems to me that the last thing a thieves' guild would want is to draw attention to itself. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic It's a bad time to be a criminal, what with these murders going on. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic In fact, thieves have been known to kill, if there's a profit in it. This war's been hard on all of us. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic One should never pay too much attention to rumors, Torbjorn. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic You have piqued my curiosity, however. Please, do continue. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I've been meaning to speak to you, Niranye. Rumor is, you've got ties to the Thieves' Guild. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic You've done more than enough already. You've been a good friend in a time of need, and we won't forget that. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I'm sorry I lost myself for a moment there. I just need some time to get over the loss. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I... I'm so sorry, Torbjorn. You must be suffering terribly. I wish there was some way I could help. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic My little Friga loved to cook, but she was terrible at it. Then one day, out of nowhere, she made the most amazing leek soup. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic She watched while we ate it, and when she saw how much we loved it, she was... so proud... DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic It was my pleasure, Torbjorn. I enjoy cooking, and after what you and Tova have been through, it was the least I could do. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I wanted to thank you again for the mince pie you sent over. It was delicious. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic We accept the risks that come with our faith, but I'll keep your offer in mind. Thank you, Niranye. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Well, let's just say that I know some people who are experts at helping others disappear when they need to. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic They are discreet and thorough, though not inexpensive. I hope you'll keep that in mind, should the worst come to pass. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I doubt Ulfric would let Thalmor into Windhelm without a fight. But please, do continue. How would you help us? DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Well, I've heard awful stories about these Thalmor, and how they're rounding up everyone who still worships Talos. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic The interrogations are quite merciless, from what I've heard. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I fear for you and your husband, should the Thamlor come here. But perhaps there's a way I can help. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Is that so? And what were you thinking, exactly? DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Hello, Jora. I'm glad to see you. In fact, I was just thinking about you and your husband. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I'll be sure to stress your urgency. It seems like every farmer in Skyrim is short on supplies these days. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Tell him I'll pay double the normal price. We've been getting by with one broken pitchfork, but it's falling apart. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Revyn put the word out to his suppliers but with the war on, tools are scarce. Both sides have been snapping them up. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Did you have any luck tracking own some more pitchforks? DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic I'll be sure to tell her. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic We've got another dozen ripening on the vine. They should be ready in a few days. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic Well enough, I suppose. Nilsine bought up most of the tomatoes, and was asking if we could get more. DBEnnodiusGreetBranchTopic How's business today? DBEnnodiusKillChoice1BranchTopic What? What do you mean? DBEnnodiusKillChoice1BranchTopic Oh! Oh... no... No! DBEnnodiusKillChoice2BranchTopic Aiiiiiiiieeeeee! DBEnnodiusKillChoice3BranchTopic Who are you? You... you're with the Dark Brotherhood, ain'tcha? I knew it. I knew you'd come for me! DBFamilyGreetAfterCompleteBranchTopic You know, I like it here. We should have moved to Dawnstar ages ago. DBFamilyGreetAfterCompleteBranchTopic I can't wait to see what the future brings. DBFamilyGreetAfterCompleteBranchTopic I'll follow you till I'm dust in the breeze. You do realize that? DBFamilyGreetAfterCompleteBranchTopic This place is already starting to feel like home. Must be all the bloodstains. DBFestusFirstResponse Hmph. DBFestusNoRespectBranchTopic Look. I gave you a contract, and you completed it. Barely. Now let's go back to you being insufferable, and me being... me. DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic Does it involve sneaking and stabbing? Ooh, please say yes! DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic Just name it. DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic Of course, Listener. What is it? DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic This way! DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic Funny, when I was a boy, Imperial walls and towers used to make me feel so safe. DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic Rorikstead. I'm... I'm from Rorikstead. DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic A Nord's last thoughts should be of home. DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic Why do you care? DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic Hey, what village are you from horse thief? DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic Give them their last rites. DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic Yes, General Tullius. DBFollowerFavorStateBranchTopic As you wish. DBGabriella06NotYetBranchTopic You and I have business to discuss. Ah, but you have not yet reported back to Astrid, have you? Do that, and then we shall talk. DBGabriellaFirstResponse You certainly have a strange energy about you. I look forward to following your progress. DBHelvardGreetBranchTopic Yes, yes. What is it? We're all very busy here... DBHelvardGreetBranchTopic By the love of the Nine, what is it with you sycophants and hangers on? The jarl is busy! And so am I, for that matter. DBHelvardKillChoice1BranchTopic And why would I... Oh. Oh! Guards! Guards, I need assistance! DBHelvardKillChoice2BranchTopic Fiend! You will not leave here alive! Guards! Guards! DBHelvardKillChoice3BranchTopic Right. Well. If you have some kind of official business with the jarl, I'm afraid now's not the time. Go on then. Off with you. DBHernGreetBranchTopic Well now. What have we here? A lost little lamb? DBHernGreetBranchTopic You really don't want to be loitering here, stranger. DBHernGreetBranchTopic No, I haven't seen him since the dragon showed up. DBHernGreetBranchTopic No, I haven't seen him since the dragon showed up. DBHernGreetBranchTopic I hate those damn things. Too many eyes, you know? DBHernGreetBranchTopic What next, giant snakes? DBHernKillChoice1BranchTopic Well then, you won't be leaving here alive! DBHernKillChoice2BranchTopic Ah, so the Brotherhood has come for old Hern, has it? Well then, let us meet as equals. DBHernKillChoice3BranchTopic Hmph. Don't say much, but there's a strange aura about you. You walk in the shadow of death... DBHernKillChoice3BranchTopic Leave here. Leave here and never return. DBLurbukGreetBranchTopic Is the line for my next performance starting already? Come on, don't be shy. Plenty of room for everyone. DBLurbukGreetBranchTopic I'm in the mood to ssssiiiiinnnggg! What about you, friend? Care to join me? DBLurbukKillChoice1BranchTopic Ha! Oh, that's a good one, friend. Killing Lurbuk... I mean, can you even imagine something so ludicrous? Depriving the world of my unique talents? DBLurbukKillChoice2BranchTopic Hmm... All right... How about this? DBLurbukKillChoice2BranchTopic Shadows creep, and... and phantoms leap! A man got... he got scared. And the demons dared! To um... visit upon him all which they feared! DBLurbukKillChoice2BranchTopic Brilliant, I know. It's a gift. DBLurbukKillChoice3BranchTopic What's the matter, friend? Khajiit got your tongue? Maybe you need a little ditty to loosen your gob, hmm? DBLurbukKillChoice3BranchTopic There once was a stranger, with eyes full of danger, he spoke not a word, but his meaning was heard... Sing on, sweet Lurbuk, sing on! DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic By the gods! What are you doing here? DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic The power of Mzinchaleft is mine! Begone from here! DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Gah! DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Nargh! DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Unf! DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Grrh! DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Nnh! DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Not quite good enough, are you? DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Close... DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic You'll need to do better than that. DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Easily blocked! DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Oho! Not so fast! DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic Keep digging! Ugh... If Lu'ah Al-Skaven can raise an army of Draugr, then why do I have to babysit them? DBMalurilGreetBranchTopic They burned his body before I could raise him... it should have been returned to me... DBMalurilKillChoice1BranchTopic Death? Oh, there's death to be found here, to be sure. DBMalurilKillChoice1BranchTopic But not my own! DBMalurilKillChoice2BranchTopic Yes... quite. But if that power could be harnessed. Controlled. The possibilities would be... DBMalurilKillChoice2BranchTopic But... who exactly are you? And why are you in here? I think it best you leave Mzinchaleft. These ruins can be quite... dangerous. DBMalurilKillChoice3BranchTopic Who are you? Why are you here? Leave this place. I have much work to conduct.... DBMaroBrotherhoodDeadBranchTopic I'll make sure the Emperor himself hears of all you've accomplished. You've made Skyrim a better place. DBMrandrujoGreetBranchTopic And how may Ma'randru-jo assist you, hmm? DBMrandrujoGreetBranchTopic Purchase something or leave. Those are your options. DBMrandrujoKillChoice1BranchTopic And why would you be looking for me, hmm? I'm not sure I appreciate your presence here. Friend. DBMrandrujoKillChoice3BranchTopic Now aren't you a strange one. Well, if you're here to shop, shop. If not, find some other caravan to stalk. DBNarfiGreetBranchTopic Who are you? What do you want? DBNarfiGreetBranchTopic Please, just... just leave me be! DBNarfiKillChoice1BranchTopic No! Oh, by the gods, please no! DBNarfiKillChoice2BranchTopic Oh... Oh no... Please, please... I ain't never harmed no one... Old Narfi just wants to be left alone... DBNarfiKillChoice3BranchTopic Do... do you want something? Look, if you ain't gonna talk, or spare no coin, just go away... DBNazirAfter11Branch2Topic Now, might I offer some advice? You should go to Riften and find Delvin Mallory. I believe Astrid had you visit him once before? DBNazirAfter11Branch2Topic Mallory is an expert "obtainer of goods." We can use the money to repair and refit this Sanctuary. Make a true home for us, hmm? DBNazirAfter11Branch2Topic You do that, and I'll see what I can do about recruiting some new additions to our Family... DBNazirAfter11BranchTopic Well? What word of the Emperor? DBNazirAnythingElseTopic It is. These aren't particularly glamorous assassinations, I'll be honest. Don't pay much, either. DBNazirAnythingElseTopic But they'll keep you busy. Just do them as you're able. There's no real time limit - the targets aren't going anywhere. DBNazirAnythingElseTopic You can turn each one in as it's completed, or wait and turn in the whole group when all the targets have been eliminated. Whichever works for you. DBNazirAnythingElseTopic The prominent feature here is the Hall of the Elements. It's our primary location for lectures, practice sessions, and general meetings. DBNazirAnythingElseTopic The College of Winterhold has been a fixture in Skyrim for thousands of years. DBNazirContract10FulfilledBranchTopic I hope the elf didn't give you too much trouble. I once got set on fire by a sorcerer. Nasty business, that. DBNazirContract10FulfilledBranchTopic But I digress. Here's your payment. DBNazirContract11FulfilledBranchTopic Hmph. Well, that's sure to throw a branch into Falkreath's well-oiled political machine. DBNazirContract11FulfilledBranchTopic Here's your payment. Well earned, as always. DBNazirContract12FulfilledBranchTopic By Sithis, now I am truly impressed! DBNazirContract12FulfilledBranchTopic To kill a pirate captain, on her own ship no less? Simply masterful! DBNazirContract12FulfilledBranchTopic You've not only earned your payment, but my respect as well. And believe me, friend - that does not come easily. DBNazirContract12FulfilledBranchTopic I'm afraid that concludes our business. You have exhausted all available additional contracts. DBNazirContract12FulfilledBranchTopic But I'm sure you've got plenty to keep you busy right about now, hmm? DBNazirContract1FulfilledBranchTopic Congratulations. You slaughtered an emaciated beggar in cold blood. You are truly an opponent to be feared. DBNazirContract1FulfilledBranchTopic Here's your payment. DBNazirContract1ReadyBranchTopic Well then, let's get started. I've got three available right now. DBNazirContract1ReadyBranchTopic Your targets are the beggar Narfi, an ex-miller named Ennodius Papius, and Beitild, a mine boss. DBNazirContract1ReadyBranchTopic When you've completed all those, we'll see if I might have some more. DBNazirContract2FulfilledBranchTopic Good. And I hope you were careful in that lumber mill. Those splinters and rusty nails can be quite nasty. DBNazirContract2FulfilledBranchTopic Your payment, for a job well done. DBNazirContract3FulfilledBranchTopic Of course she is. I hear the mining business is extremely cutthroat. And those hours... they're murder. DBNazirContract3FulfilledBranchTopic I could do this all day. Here's your payment. DBNazirContract4FulfilledBranchTopic No sarcasm this time. You faced a vampire, and lived to tell the tale. Well done. DBNazirContract4FulfilledBranchTopic And if you contracted Sanguinare Vampiris, be sure to get that taken care of. Else you'll end up like our own Babette. DBNazirContract4FulfilledBranchTopic Unless, of course, that was your goal all along. Here's your payment. DBNazirContract5FulfilledBranchTopic Wonderful. The only good bard is a dead one, as far as I'm concerned. All that singing and... mirth. DBNazirContract5FulfilledBranchTopic Your payment, as per the usual. DBNazirContract6FulfilledBranchTopic Personally, I've always found Argonians to be incredibly unpredictable opponents. Especially near water. DBNazirContract6FulfilledBranchTopic In any event, nice work. Here's your payment. DBNazirContract7FulfilledBranchTopic Ah! Well done! Well done! DBNazirContract7FulfilledBranchTopic Those caravaners can be an elusive bunch. Takes a fair bit of stalking to take one down. But then, that's half the fun, isn't it? DBNazirContract7FulfilledBranchTopic Here's your payment. Well earned, indeed. DBNazirContract8FulfilledBranchTopic Ah, so the hunter came to know the fear of the hunted, hmm? DBNazirContract8FulfilledBranchTopic Your payment, my friend. Well done. DBNazirContract9FulfilledBranchTopic Don't worry, my friend, I'll spare you the facetious quip about killing a defenseless old woman. DBNazirContract9FulfilledBranchTopic Infiltrating an occupied fort and making it out in one piece is nothing to joke about. Well done. DBNazirContract9FulfilledBranchTopic Your payment for services rendered. DBNazirContractBranchTopic Did she, now? Well, as it turns out, there are a few lingering contracts we haven't had the chance to complete just yet. DBNazirContractBranchTopic And more, dribbling in from time to time. I'll assign them to you as they become available. To be completed at your leisure. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic As a matter of fact, I do. Two of them. One rather easy assignment, and another that should prove quite a challenge. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic Your first target is an Orc bard named Lurbuk. The other is a vampire by the name of Hern. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic Happy hunting. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic I'm sorry, I don't. Come see me again later. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic Well then, your timing couldn't be better. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic As it turns out, I've got two new contracts. One rather easy assignment, and another that should prove quite a challenge. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic Your first target is an Orc bard named Lurbuk. The other is a vampire by the name of Hern. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic Happy hunting. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic More work? My friend, you still haven't finished the last set of contracts I gave you. Why don't you concentrate on eliminating that final target. DBNazirContractSet2ReadyBranchTopic More work? My friend, you still haven't finished the last two contracts I gave you. Let's get those done, hmm? DBNazirContractSet3ReadyBranchTopic Well aren't we the eager one? Sorry to disappoint, but there's nothing. Try me again later. DBNazirContractSet3ReadyBranchTopic There are indeed. Three, to be exact. DBNazirContractSet3ReadyBranchTopic There's Deekus, a shipwreck scavenger. Ma'randru-jo, a traveling caravaner. And Anoriath, a hunter. DBNazirContractSet3ReadyBranchTopic Hmph. How about, instead of giving you another contract, I simply deride you for not finishing the one you still have? DBNazirContractSet3ReadyBranchTopic So it would appear. Though I'd suspect she'd want you to complete your other contracts first. Do those, then we'll talk about something new. DBNazirContractSet4ReadyBranchTopic Just one right now, actually. DBNazirContractSet4ReadyBranchTopic I need you to eliminate an old woman named Agnis, a servant in Fort Greymoor. DBNazirContractSet5ReadyBranchTopic Well, yes. Two of them. But you're reaching the end of what I have available. DBNazirContractSet5ReadyBranchTopic Your targets are a dark elf wizard named Maluril, in the dwarven ruin of Mzinchaleft. And Helvard, the housecarl of Falkreath. DBNazirContractSet5ReadyBranchTopic Kill these two, and I'll have one last contract to give you. I'm just finalizing some details now. DBNazirContractSet6ReadyBranchTopic Hmph. Yes. Yes, I believe you are. Very well, then. DBNazirContractSet6ReadyBranchTopic You need to find and kill Safia, the captain of the pirate ship Red Wave. DBNazirContractSet6ReadyBranchTopic The ship travels the northern coast, and sometimes isn't even in Skyrim at all. So you'll have to be patient. Good luck. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic You disrespected the Brotherhood. And it'll cost you. You want back into the Family, you pay the price. 500 gold, and all is forgiven. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic You may be Listener, and head of the Sanctuary, but your recent behavior sets a bad example. I must insist you pay a fine of 300 gold. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic If the Tenets were still in place, you would be required to defeat the Wrath of Sithis. Now you just need to pay a fine to Nazir. Ah, the Old Ways... DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic When you disrespect your Family, you disrespect yourself. Don't you care for anything at all? Prove that you do - speak with Nazir, make reparations. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic Bah. If it were up to me, we'd cut off your hands and never let you back in this Sanctuary. But no. All you have to do is pay Nazir a fine. Pathetic. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic Ah, don't worry, we all like to break the rules sometimes. Just see Nazir and pay the fine. Seems I do that at least once a month... DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic There are so few rules here. All we ask is that you don't disrespect your Family. But for some reason, you have. Best talk to Nazir and pay the fine. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic Idiot. I may not have a lot of rules, but that doesn't give you free reign to do as you please. You want to resume your duties? Go talk to Nazir. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic Oh, but Cicero can't talk to you. You've been naughty, naughty. I think you need to clear this whole mess up with Nazir. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic Looks like Cicero's not the only only one to go a little crazy from time to time. Eh, Listener? You should talk to Nazir, work this whole mess out. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic With all due respect, Listener, you broke what few rules we seem to have. Nazir insists you talk to him and work this issue out. DBNazirEvictionBranchTopic I do apologize, Listener, but Nazir made it clear the initiates are not to speak with you until you first deal with him, and atone for your actions. DBNazirEvictionPlayerResponse1 Good. I'll spread the word that you've made reparations. Now let's forget the past and get back to business... DBNazirEvictionPlayerResponse1 Excellent. Now we can get back to business. I think it's best we just forget this ever happened and move on, hmm? DBNazirEvictionPlayerResponse2 Then I suggest you "collect" it. Until you pay the fine, you are effectively cut off from all Dark Brotherhood duties and contracts. DBNazirEvictionPlayerResponse3 Not ready? Well, my arrogant little sibling, until you pay the fine the Dark Brotherhood holds nothing for you. No contracts. No rewards. No respect. DBNazirEvictionPlayerResponse3 I understand, Listener. And I hope you understand that until the fine is paid, I must insist you refrain from all Dark Brotherhood business. DBNazirFirstGreetBranchTopic So you're the newest member of our dwindling, dysfunctional little Family. I've heard quite a bit about you. DBNazirFirstGreetBranchTopic Stop. Turn around. And go back the way you came. Astrid is waiting for you. She's down near the entrance. You must have passed right by her. DBNazirFirstGreetBranchTopic Divines sake, Skald. Who do think we're threatening with our old war wounds? We're not soldiers, anymore. DBNazirFirstGreetResponse1 Save the niceties for now. I have no intention of getting invested in someone who may be dead tomorrow. DBNazirFirstGreetResponse1 If you're still breathing in a few weeks, I'm sure we'll be the best of friends. DBNazirFirstGreetResponse1 Wind guide you. DBNazirFirstGreetResponse1 Sky guard you. DBNazirFirstGreetResponse1 Breath and focus. DBNazirFirstGreetResponse2 Ooh, cocky. DBNazirFirstGreetResponse2 I give you three days before you screw up and someone runs a knife across your throat. DBNazirFirstGreetResponse2 But who knows? I've been proven wrong before. DBNazirFirstGreetResponse3 Ahh, going for the mysterious and brooding thing, hmm? DBNazirFirstGreetResponse3 That may work for your targets, but you'll find I'm not so easily impressed. DBNazirInfoAgnisBranchTopic She's a maid. Old, and feeble. But with this contract it's much more a matter of "where" than "who." DBNazirInfoAgnisBranchTopic Your political affairs are your own, but any allegiance you may have in the ongoing war could very well affect your access to Fort Greymoor. DBNazirInfoAnoriathBranchTopic The wood elf may run a stall in the city, but he retreats to the plains outside Whiterun to hunt. Kill him there, and no one will bear witness... DBNazirInfoBeitildBranchTopic She separated from her husband several months ago. Now the two run competing mining operations. Beitild's angry and desperate. A fighter. DBNazirInfoDeekusBranchTopic He's an Argonian layabout, likes to scavenge shipwrecks. My guess is he'll run if threatened. Or swim, if given the chance. DBNazirInfoEnnodiusBranchTopic He lives just outside Anga's Mill, in the woods. He was once the miller. Now Papius is just a paranoid recluse who thinks someone is out to get him. DBNazirInfoEnnodiusBranchTopic And he's right. DBNazirInfoHelvardBranchTopic He's the housecarl of Falkreath. You know what that means? He's the bodyguard to the Jarl himself. So be careful. DBNazirInfoHernBranchTopic He's a vampire, and has blended into human society for years. He's never far from his female companion, Hert. Also a vampire. DBNazirInfoHernBranchTopic The contract is for the male, Hern. But you'll probably have to contend with the female, too. So for Sithis' sake, watch yourself. DBNazirInfoLurbukBranchTopic He is, by all accounts, the worst bard in all of Skyrim. DBNazirInfoLurbukBranchTopic Apparently so many people sought his death, Astrid had to hold a lottery to determine the client. DBNazirInfoMalurilBranchTopic He's dangerous. Very dangerous. A rogue Dark Elf mage doing research into Dwarven artifacts should be both respected... and feared. DBNazirInfoMalurilBranchTopic Just not by you. DBNazirInfoMarandrujoBranchTopic He's an accomplished wizard. And, locating him may be challenging, as he travels with the caravans. DBNazirInfoNarfiBranchTopic He's a hapless beggar living in some ruins just outside the village of Ivarstead. Easy even for you. DBNazirInfoSafiaBranchTopic Ah, yes. The pirate captain. A ruthless she-devil, by all accounts. Deadly with a blade. DBNazirInfoSafiaBranchTopic And let's not forget her crew - loyal and bloodthirsty, the lot of them. DBNazirInfoSafiaBranchTopic This is my final contract, and certainly the most challenging. Be careful with this one, my friend. DBNazirPlayerMoneyComeClean Ha! I knew it, you rascal! By Sithis, the old man was worth the trouble. DBNazirPlayerMoneyStillLie Pfft. You'd think an emperor would fetch at least twice that. Damn that motherless cheapskate, Motierre. DBNazirPlayerMoneyStillLie In any event, here's my advice. Go to Riften's Ratway, find Delvin Mallory. I believe Astrid had you visit him once before, no? DBNazirPlayerMoneyStillLie Mallory is an expert "obtainer of goods." We can use the money to repair and refit this Sanctuary. Make a true home for us, eh? DBNazirPlayerPaymentResponse1 Ha! Remarkable! Well, the old bastard certainly made it worth your while, didn't he? DBNazirPlayerPaymentResponse2 Ha! Clearly, we should have killed that old bastard years ago! DBNazirPlayerPaymentResponse3 Oh. Is that all? Really? DBNazirPlayerPaymentResponse3 Come now! You're joking with old Nazir! Surely the Emperor's life was worth more than that. DBNazirPreDB03BlockBranchTopic Haven't you talked to Astrid? She's by the pool, greeting the Night Mother and her little jester. She has a contract for you. Come see me afterward. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Have you seen Astrid? She needs to speak with you. It seemed urgent. Come talk to me afterward. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic On this day... I go to Sovngarde. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Such is our way! Such is the ancient custom of Skyrim, and all Nords! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic There was no murder! Ulfric challenged Torygg. He beat the High King in fair combat. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic By opening that gate for Ulfric you betrayed the people of Solitude. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Roggvir. You helped Ulfric Stormcloak escape this city after he murdered High King Torygg. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Let me know if there's anything else you need. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic I'll show you to your room. Right this way. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Ah! I've heard of this Shouting, but never seen it. Fascinating... DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic I've read the dragon language, but to hear it spoken is most interesting. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic This skill should prove very useful, Dragonborn. Fighting fire with fire, as the saying goes. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic The dragons will surely fear your Voice. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Ah... the power of the dragon is yours! There can be no doubt that you are the Dragonborn of prophecy. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Alduin cannot ignore this for long. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic We've got to bring it down! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Don't let it get too close! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic We've got to ground that bastard! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Come on! This is our best chance! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Attack while it's landed! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Now it's my turn, you son of a bitch. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic For the Blades! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic You've brought this on yourself. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Thalmor dog! Death is too good for you. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic You'll die knowing it was the Blades that sent you to Oblivion. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic You're starting to make me angry. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic I'm in a bit of trouble here. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic I need some help with this one! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic You should not have meddled in the Thalmor's affairs. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic The Thalmor's memory is long. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Esbern cannot elude us, fool. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic I shall sing of thee in Sovngarde! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Feel the bite of my axe! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic It is glorious to battle once again in Tamriel! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Feel the thunder of my voice! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic You will die for the glory of the Dragonborn! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic You are not worthy of Sovngarde! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic For the Dragonborn! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic For Sovngarde! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic My sword will taste of your blood! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Let's get this over with. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Come on. What are you waiting for? DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic You're not afraid of me, are you? DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Lorkhan's eyes, you're an ugly one, aren't you? DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Remember Cloud Ruler Temple! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Did you think the Blades had been destroyed? DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic Now it's your turn, Thalmor bitch. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic The Blades will never be defeated, Thalmor dog. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic I could use a hand here. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic I'm not afraid of you. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic For the Blades! DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic I wasn't looking for trouble. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic I gave up this kind of thing a long time ago. DBNazirPreDB04aBlockBranchTopic You can still run. It's not too late. DBNightgateFultheimCustomersBranchTopic Well he don't like company, I can tell you that much. Just wants to be left alone. But no... that's not really it. DBNightgateFultheimCustomersBranchTopic It's like... he wants to talk. Likes people and all. But he stays separate, because he's supposed to. DBNightgateFultheimCustomersBranchTopic Kind of sad, really. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic So you're the... the assassin? I need you to kill the Visiting Noble at Dragonsreach, in Whiterun. Here's the gold. I... I hope it's enough. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic So you're the one from the... Dark Brotherhood? I need you to kill the Big Laborer at Katla's Farm. Here's the gold for the kill. Make it painful. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic You must be the... assassin. I need you to kill the Itinerant Lumberjack, in Morthal, at the logging camp. Here, this is all the gold I have. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic You're the assassin, right? Look, there's this Reckless Mage in the Frozen Hearth Inn, in Winterhold. I want him dead. This gold should cover it. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic You're the one? From the... the Dark Brotherhood? The man I need killed is a Seasoned Hunter. He's just outside Falkreath. Here's the gold... DBRecurringContactBranchTopic You're here! I was wondering if that Black Sacrament even worked. I need you to kill a woman, a Poor Fishwife, on the Riften Docks. Here's the gold. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic Dark Brotherhood? You look the type. Listen, there's this Grim Shieldmaiden walking the streets of Markarth. Kill her. Now take this gold, and go. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic Are you the assassin? From the...? Well, there's this Traveling Dignitary, in Solitude. I need her... you know. This gold will cover it, right? DBRecurringContactBranchTopic I'm glad you're here. I need you to kill a Coldhearted Gravedigger, tends to work in the Hall of the Dead in Windhelm. This is all the gold I have. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic Good, you're here. Look, in Ivarstead, there's this Beautiful Barbarian. I need her dead. Don't ask why. Just do it. This gold should cover it. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic If anybody asks, this meeting never took place. DBRecurringContactBranchTopic I don't know you. DBRecurringSharedContractTopic You must speak with the Farmhand at Chillfurrow farm. DBRecurringTargetBranchTopic Would it kill you to let a man go about his business in peace? Really, the nerve... DBRecurringTargetBranchTopic Look, I'm busy. Please go bother somebody else. DBRecurringTargetBranchTopic Did you want something? I'm quite busy. DBRecurringTargetBranchTopic I'm dying for a rest. I swear, I could lie down right now, and just sleep forever. DBRepairNoGoldShared You're a little light on coin there, my friend. No gold, no refit. DBRumorsTopic There have been whispers. A boy, up in Windhelm, name of Aventus Aretino. Been trying to contact... the Dark Brotherhood. DBRumorsTopic Folk been hearing some strange stuff coming from the Aretino place. Chanting. Talk is, little Aventus is trying to contact the Dark Brotherhood... DBRumorsTopic A little boy, Aventus Aretino, got sent to the orphanage. Now there's talk he's trying to contact the Dark Brotherhood. No good can come of that... DBRumorsTopic I was walking by the old Aretino Residence, heard the little boy, Aventus? He was chanting. It was the Black Sacrament, I tell ya. DBRumorsTopic Hear about the little Imperial boy, Aventus Aretino? The stupid whelp is trying to contact the Dark Brotherhood... DBRumorsTopic Have you heard about Aventus Aretino? He's a little boy, lives in Windhelm. They say he's been trying to get in touch with the Dark Brotherhood... DBRumorsTopic Been talk of a little boy in Windhelm, name of Aventus Aretino. Get this - he's been trying to contact the Dark Brotherhood. Foolish lad... DBRumorsTopic I heard tell of a lad in Windhelm. Aventus Aretino. They say he's been doing the Black Sacrament, trying to contact the Dark Brotherhood. Damn fool. DBSafiaGreetBranchTopic Let me guess - you have some "business" to discuss... DBSafiaGreetBranchTopic You do realize there's only one way this can end. DBSafiaKillChoice1BranchTopic The Dark Brotherhood? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think this is the first contract I've had on my life? DBSafiaKillChoice1BranchTopic I'm a pirate, sweetie. Assassination attempts are an occupational hazard. Now, shall we? DBSafiaKillChoice2BranchTopic Sithis? Let me guess: "In the Void!" By the gods, you Dark Brotherhood are a predictable lot, aren't you? DBSafiaKillChoice2BranchTopic Okay, here's how this works. You try to assassinate me, and I kill you. Horribly. I have done this dance before, you know. DBSafiaKillChoice3BranchTopic Ah, I see. The old Dark Brotherhood "silent intimidation" treatment. DBSafiaKillChoice3BranchTopic Oh, I know who you are. Don't be so surprised. You ain't the first assassin sent to kill me. Won't be the last. Now let's get this over with. DBSancMalloryRefitChoice1 Banners, huh? Trying to pretty up the place? All right, you got it. DBSancMalloryRefitChoice2 That'll come in handy, yeah? An alchemy station, maybe a little garden with some choice plants. All right, consider it done. DBSancMalloryRefitChoice3 Oh ho. Now that's the Dark Brotherhood I know and love. This for business or pleasure? Ah, what's it matter, right? I'll see that it gets done. DBSancMalloryRefitChoice4 Yeah, we can do that. I'm thinking a sewer grate on the outskirts of Dawnstar. Leads to a tunnel, then inside. You'll be in or out, quick as a coney. DBSancMalloryRefitChoice5 Heh. Chamber fit for a king and all that, right? No problem. Give ya a big bed, decorate the room real nice, maybe even throw in a few extra baubles. DBSancMalloryRefitChoice6 Suit yourself. DBSancRepairMalloryBranchTopic The Dawnstar Sanctuary? That where you lot are holing up in now? Hmm... Tell you what. It'll cost you - a lot - but I can help you out. DBSancRepairMalloryBranchTopic What exactly are we talking about here? DBSancRepairMalloryBranchTopic Tell me what you need, and I'll get my people get on it. DBSancRepairMalloryBranchTopic Of course you do. DBSancRepairMalloryBranchTopic All right. What's your fancy? DBSancRepairMalloryBranchTopic I'm afraid that's it, my friend. I've done all I can. I hope the place is at least livable now. Good luck with, your, um... murders.

DCETNoticeCorpse Kill one of us, and three more will take their place. The Forsworn are unstoppable. DCETNoticeCorpse Your body lies dead, but your soul has joined our ranks... DCETNoticeCorpse Freshly killed. Whoever did this is still close... and will suffer for their insolence. DCETNoticeCorpse Damn. We've got trouble. DCETNoticeCorpse Sovngarde take your soul.

DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic I've heard stanger things, are eaten over at the Temple of the Divines. DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic Vegetables are the food of the Divines. DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic There's nothing quite like a good vegetable. DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic You never can tell. DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic The guy in from Dragon Bridge? He didn't seem the type. DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic I'll need a whole crate of fruit. That Varnius Junius went through quite a few of our supplies. DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic That's generous, Jala, but I am happy to pay my way. DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic Free of charge for you. DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic Hello, Silana. Would you like an apple? DecorateSolitudeViewBranch1Topic Still can't wake him up? Perhaps you're barking up the wrong tree?

DecorateWhiterunAlchemy Step towards the block when we call your name. One at a time. DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic We're at war, old fool, or have you forgotten? DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic Whiterun is the crown jewel of Skyrim, and you would leave us defenseless? DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic As you command, my lord. But, the issue could be solved another way. DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic If we spend less on new arms and armor for the guards, for example... DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic Raise the taxes, then! Put anyone that refuses to pay in the stocks and make an example of them. DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic My lord Jarl, if we do not take steps soon, our coffers will be empty. DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic Lead us to your Sybil. DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic Dibella, guide us. DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic Come on. Hurry. We might be too late. DecorateWhiterunViewTopic1Topic Wait. Something's wrong. DecorateWindhelmKillerClutter General Tullius, sir! The headsman is waiting! DecorateWindhelmKillerClutter And it looks like the Thalmor are with him. Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this. DecorateWindhelmKillerClutter No, this can't be happening. This isn't happening. DelphineRentRoomTopic Are you joking? You just rented a room from me. DelphineRentRoomTopic Sure thing. It's yours for a day. DelphineRentRoomTopic What does this look like, the Temple of Mara? No gold, no bed. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Word is Ulfric Stormcloak escaped from the Imperials. War's only going to get worse, now. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic They say a dragon attacked Helgen. Sounds like hogwash to me. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Word is Ulfric Stormcloak escaped from the Imperials. War's only going to get worse, now. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic They say a dragon attacked Helgen. Sounds like hogwash to me. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic We've got something of a love triangle here in Riverwood. Faendal and Sven, both vying for Camilla's affections. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Ain't used to strangers here in Riverwood. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I'm spoken for, you know. So don't get any ideas. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You're pretty, I'll give ya that. Just stay away from my husband, Alvor. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Alvor and I, we got a daughter. Little Dorthe. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic He would dote on her so much. Let her work the forge and everything. I miss him so. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic My girl likes to work the forge with her papa. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic All of that blacksmithing... It's not good for a little girl. Ain't... ladylike. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Dorthe needs to spend more time in the garden. I could use the help. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic It don't matter what I grow - my Alvor, he'll eat anything. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Maybe I'll do turnips next. Hmmm... Or maybe radishes? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic New to Riverwood? If you're looking for work, go see Hod at the mill. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic We're a small village, but we work hard, and take care of our own. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I own the lumber mill, and pay a fair wage. See my husband Hod if you're looking for work. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Only worry we've got is the war reaching this far. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Years past, the lumber was used for houses or furniture. Now, the soldiers just buy it all. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic The thought of my wood being used for weapons... Makes me sick. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic No use thinkin' of things I can't change. Too much work to be done... DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You look like a traveler. Someone that has seen far away places and heard new stories. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You should come hear me play at the Sleeping Giant Inn. For a small sum you can even pick the song. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I've been trained as a skald, as was my father, and my father's father before him. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic My time at the Bards College was brief. A prodigy has little need for formal education. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I'm composing a new song. A ballad, for Camilla Valerius. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Some day Camilla will know of my affections. Some day... DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic A new face. And a right fair one at that. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic A new face. And a right ugly one at that. No offence. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Got business here in Riverwood, eh? There are worse villages. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic At least the damned war hasn't gotten here. Yet. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic We work hard, try to do right by our families. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Me, I've got my axe, my wife Gerdur and my boy Frodnar. That's all I need. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Woodcutting's my trade. Best log splitter from here to Riften. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic It's all in the way you hold the axe. Caress it, like any wench, and she'll do ya right. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You met Camilla yet? Wouldn't mind getting my hands on those trunks. He he he he. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Now you, lass... You've got some beautiful trunks yourself... Hmm? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Well... I'll let you go about your business. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You're new around here, so I'll go easy on ya. But don't get on my bad side. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Get me mad, and I'll prank ya. And not a little. A lot. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Ah, everybody around here's so serious. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic So I like to have a little fun, so what? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic My friend Dorthe doesn't like my pranking. "You're being mean, Frodnar!" So what if I am? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Mother wants me to work at the mill. But I ain't nobody's slave. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You gotta have better things to do than talk to me all day... DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Did I see you talking to Sven? Maybe not. Maybe...nevermind. But I would stay away from him if I were you. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Greetings, sister Elf. Good to see a familiar face so far from home. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Greetings, brother Elf. Good to see a familiar face so far from home. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Riverwood's agreeable enough, I suppose. For a Nord village. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic There's beauty here unmatched in all of Skyrim, to be sure. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Maybe you've already met Camilla Valerius? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic If only Camilla shared my affections. Or even knew about them. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Are you a hunter, by chance? The hills surrounding the village are ripe with game. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I work at the lumber mill, but I escape into the forest whenever possible. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I miss Valenwood, but the wilds here are... serviceable. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I don't like to brag, but I once took down a bear at three hundred yards. In a blizzard. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic We got rooms and food. Drink, too. I cook. Ain't much else to tell. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Need a room, talk to Delphine. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I'm just the cook, lad. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I'm just the cook, lass. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I ain't lookin' to make friends. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You like Skeever liver. No? Tough luck. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Food's hot. Never said it was good. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You're that visitor, been pokin' around. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I'm the innkeeper. It's my business to keep track of strangers. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic We don't get a lot of travelers here in Riverwood. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic The war keeps most folks away, these days. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Most of my customers are locals, come to relax after a hard day's toil. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic So what's your story? Just here to... relax? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You look like you could use an ale. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic If you're staying the night, I've got a free room. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Wanderer like you must have quite an appetite. Some food? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You're a strapping young man. Don't be a stranger. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic The men here like my attention, and I like theirs. Best know your place. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You're not from around here. That makes two of us. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I came here from the Imperial Province, to work with my brother Lucan. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic It got bad back in Cyrodiil. The war with the Thalmor ruined... everything. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I came to Skyrim looking for a better life. So what did I get? Another war. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I just want to find a good husband, and start a family of my own. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic The Riverwood Trader is everything you need in a general store. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic My sister Camilla or I will be happy to help you. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Maybe you're looking for something... particular? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic We carry just about anything you could need... DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I know some of it looks like junk, but everything's a treasure in the right light. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Ain't every day we get visitors in Riverwood. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Whatever you need. By Ysmir, if it's simple and strong, I can forge it. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You lookin' for a new blade? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Iron or steel is what you need. Leave that fancy Elven stuff to the Elves. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Iron and steel mostly. I might even have some of your fancy Elven pieces lying around somewhere... DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I could forge you a warhammer that would crush a giant's head like a walnut. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You the sneaky type? Got some nice daggers around here somewhere... DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Papa says I'm too friendly with strangers, but you seem all right. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic My father is Alvor, the blacksmith. I'm his assistant. I mean, apprentice. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Some day I'm going to forge my own sword! DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Papa says I'm not ready for weapons. So I make lots of horseshoes and hobnails. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Mama doesn't think I'm girlish enough. But that's just stupid girl talk. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Papa may have wanted a son, but he got me. He's a lucky man. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Ain't nothin' a boy can do that I can't do better. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Nobody believes me, but I tell you, I saw a dragon! DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic By Shor, what do you want? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic It's my boy Sven you need to listen to. He sings at the inn, most every night. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Sven has the voice of a snow lark. Only good thing he got from his father. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic My boy fancies that Camilla Valerius. She'll come around soon enough. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Camilla, I've seen her talking to that Faendal. Filthy elf needs to keep to his own kind... DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic What happened to my Skyrim? Everywhere you look, cats, lizards and elves. It's sickening. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic I raised my Sven to be strong, and proud. A true Nord. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You're kinda fuzzy. What's wrong with ya? DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Outta my way, stranger. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Grrr. Fine, let's get this over with. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic Doing nothing will not grant our tribe relief from this curse. We must try. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic You bring an outsider here, and now insist I call on Malacath for help, when he has clearly forsaken me? You try my patience, Atub. DelphineRumorsBranchRevisedTopic It is time, Yamarz. DetectionAlert01 Is someone there? DetectionAlert03 What was that? DetectionAlert04 Huh? DetectionAlert05 Ha! Found you! DetectionFound01 Over here! DetectionLost01 Where are you? DetectionLost02 You can't hide from me! DGArrestQuestTopic Well... if you say so. DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic I'm getting out of here! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Those fools are actually fighting! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Hey! Watch what you're doing. DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic My money's on the big one. DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Gods! Another fight. DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic I'm staying out of this. DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Don't hurt me! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Please, someone do something! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Someone do something! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Somebody help! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Help! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic A fight! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic This should be good. DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Get 'em! Kill 'em! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Ah! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Why are they hurting each other? DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Hey, no fair! Get her, Stump! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic How about... we play tag! You're it! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Oh yeah, and what would you rather do? DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Frodnar... nobody is going to believe that your dog is a... Frostbite Spider. And if they do... they'll kill him. That's not much of a prank. DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Sure I am. We get some furs and tree branches, paint them white, and then tie them to Stump. Instant Frostbite Spider! DGCrimeBlockingHelloTopic Wait, so... a costume? You're not serious... DGCrimeBountyBlocking1 Wait... I know you. DGCrimeBountyBlocking2 In the name of the Jarl, I'm ordering you to stand fast! DGCrimeBribe Not a chance. Not for this. You're going to the Cidhna Mine for the rest of your days. DGCrimeBribe Well... maybe just this once. But there's still a price on your head. Better make yourself scarce, or we'll have to do this little dance again. DGCrimeForcegreetTopic Halt. You're under arrest for murder and conspiracy against the city of Markarth! DGCrimeForcegreetTopic The "problem" is your disrespect for the laws of this land. It's time to face the Jarl's justice. DGCrimeForcegreetTopic By order of the Jarl, stop right there! DGCrimeForcegreetTopic You have committed crimes against Skyrim and her people. What say you in your defense? DGCrimeForcegreetTopic We got everything in hand here. You aren't needed 'round here. DGCrimeForcegreetTopic We chop trees, we mill the wood. What more would you want to know? DGCrimeForcegreetTopic It's a hard way to make a living, but we find ways to make ends meet. DGCrimeForcegreetTopic We don't take kindly to people snooping around our business. DGCrimeForcegreetTopic These axes can chop a lot more than wood, you know. DGCrimeForcegreetTopic Hey, welcome to the mill! DGCrimeForcegreetTopic My brother and me bought this place when we left the army. Boy, did we lose a bundle, but at least we're not fighting the war! DGCrimeForcegreetTopic We're making our money back, bit by bit. Every extra bit of work helps... DGCrimeForcegreetTopic We served our time in the Legion. Now we're just trying to make it day to day. DGCrimeForcegreetTopic I used to serve with Trilf and Steirod. Good guys, but don't get on their bad side, you know? DGCrimeForcegreetTopic I once saw Steirod tear a whole tree out the ground with his bare hands. Glad he's on our side! DGCrimeForcegreetTopic These boys do good work for the Empire! DGCrimeForcegreetTopic Nice to be here on the home-front. Wouldn't mind being down in Cyrodiil, though. DGCrimeGoToJail Ha, enjoy the Chill. DGCrimeGoToJail You'll never see the sun again. No one escapes Cidhna Mine. No one. DGCrimeGoToJail It's off to Cidhna Mine for you. DGCrimeGoToJail You're going to rot in the Dragonsreach Dungeon. DGCrimeGoToJail A stretch in the Castle Dour Dungeon will straighten you right out. DGCrimeGoToJail I guess you're smarter than you look. DGCrimeNeverMind Well, your bounty is low... All right, get out of my sight. But you're known to me now, scum. Remember that. DGCrimeNeverMind You know what? You're not worth the hassle. Go... be some other guard's problem. DGCrimeOrcPayFine Huh. Okay. We'll test your mettle another day. DGCrimeOrcPayFine Typical outlander weakling. But your gold will strengthen our clan. DGCrimeOrcPayFine Then your poverty is my reward. Kill or be killed! DGCrimeOrcResistArrest Today is a good day to die. DGCrimeOrcResistArrest Fight well, and I'll make sure your corpse is not dishonored. DGCrimeOrcsBlockingTopic Submit and pay bloodprice, criminal. DGCrimeOrcsBlockingTopic Stop, outlander! You must pay bloodprice for your crimes. DGCrimeOrcsBlockingTopic By the Code of Malacath, you must pay bloodprice for your crimes. Which will it be, blood or gold? DGCrimeOrcsBlockingTopic Your crimes offend the Code of Malacath and we demand payment. Choose. Gold or blood. DGCrimeOrcsBlockingTopic There are no jails in an Orc Stronghold, criminal. You must pay in gold or blood. DGCrimeOrcsBlockingTopic We haven't forgotten your crimes, outlander. DGCrimePayFine You aren't fooling me. Trusted witnesses have seen you commit several murders. DGCrimePayFine And there are accounts of your suspicious behavior throughout the city. Now come quietly. DGCrimePayFine Smart man. Now come along with us. We'll take any stolen goods, and you'll be free to go. After you pay the fine, of course. DGCrimePayFine Smart woman. Now come along with us. We'll take any stolen goods, and you'll be free to go. After you pay the fine, of course. DGCrimePayFine Good enough. I'll just confiscate any stolen goods you're carrying, then you're free to go. DGCrimePersuade You're not sweet-talking your way out of this. Not after what you did. You're headed to Cidhna Mine, and that's that. DGCrimePersuade All right, but you just watch yourself. Next time, I might not be so lenient. DGCrimePersuade Don't bother with that. Lost the key ages ago. Poor fellow screamed for weeks. DGCrimePersuade Wait a second. Looks like there's something in this cage. DGCrimePersuade See if you can get it open with some picks. We'll need everything we can get. DGCrimePersuade With me, prisoner. Let's go! DGCrimePersuade Mage, eh? Well, to each his own. It's not for me to judge. DGCrimePersuade Thief, eh? It's never too late to take charge of your own fate, you know. DGCrimePersuade Warrior, good! Those stars will guide you to honor and glory. DGCrimePersuade Go ahead, see for yourself. DGCrimePersuade These are the Guardian Stones, three of the thirteen ancient standing stones that dot Skyrim's landscape. DGCrimePersuade Mage, eh? Well, to each his own. It's not for me to judge. DGCrimePersuade Thief, eh? It's never too late to take charge of your own fate, you know. DGCrimePersuade Warrior, good! I knew you shouldn't have been on that cart the minute I laid eyes on you. DGCrimePersuade Go ahead, see for yourself. DGCrimePersuade These are the Guardian Stones, three of the thirteen ancient standing stones that dot Skyrim's landscape. DGCrimeResistArrest Time to cleanse the Empire of its filth. DGCrimeResistArrest Then suffer the Emperor's wrath. DGCrimeResistArrest Skyrim has no use for your kind. DGCrimeResistArrest Then let me speed your passage to Sovngarde! DGCrimeResistArrest Then pay with your blood. DGCrimeResistArrest That can be arranged. DGCrimeResistArrest So be it. DGCrimeTGBribeNo Suit yourself, but you better decide what you want to do about this arrest. No one walks away for free. DGCrimeTGBribeYes Done. Now move along, before you get me in trouble. DGCrimeTGPayoff I don't care who you're with. After what you did, you're lucky I'm not cutting you down where you stand! DGCrimeUseInfluence No one in the Jarl's court is above the charge of conspiring against the city. You're coming with us. DGCrimeUseInfluence No one in the Jarl's court is above the charge of conspiring against the city. You're coming with us. DGCrimeUseInfluence The Jarl has appointed me to be your housecarl. It's an honor to serve you. DGCrimeUseInfluence Long life to you, Thane. DGCrimeUseInfluence I am your sword and your shield. DGCrimeUseInfluence Honor to you, my Thane. DGCrimeUseInfluence What do you need, my Thane? DGCrimeUseInfluence Honored to see you again, my Thane. DGCrimeWantedTopic You're the one who conspired with the Forsworn against Markarth! You're coming with me, murderer! DGCrimeWantedTopic There's no mistake. You're a wanted man... and it's time to pay for your crimes. DGCrimeWantedTopic There's no mistake. You're a wanted woman... and it's time to pay for your crimes. DGCrimeWantedTopic The only mistake was you showing your face. You've committed crimes against Skyrim and her people, and it's time to face the Jarl's justice. DGIntimidateVictoryNo Get it over with, then. DGIntimidateVictoryNo You're making a mistake! DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Please, stop! I'll pay! Take it! DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Please, no more. I'll pay, I'll pay. Here! DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Here... take your damn coin and get out of here! DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Well fought, ya swinging bit of skeever bait. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic I don't believe it. I guess you were right! DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Your fists speak louder than your words. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic You bested me, an Orc chief. Impressive. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic It's been so long since I tasted my own blood. Sour. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Damn addicts always stealing from me. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Damn it. Why'd you have to walk into Morthal? DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Now that's what I call a punch. You got me. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Now that was a punch. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Wait, I can still fight. No, no I can't. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic That wasn't a fair swing. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Damn outsider. Why couldn't you just mind your own business? DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Backbiter. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Damn boot-lover. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic You throw a mean hook. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic What was that? Some kind of foreign move? DGIntimidateVictoryTopic You know how to throw a punch, I'll give you that. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Ugh. You mangy piece of pit-bait. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic I owe Thorald my life. Helping to save him is the least I can do. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic No one should ever be left to the Thalmor. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic The Thalmor need to be taught a lesson. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic I pledged to aid Avulstein and Thorald a long time ago. There's nothing that could keep me from helping them now. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic I must be on my way now. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic I owe you my life, friend. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Keep going! We need to get farther away from here! DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Let's get out of here, fast as we can! DGIntimidateVictoryTopic You there! What are you doing? DGIntimidateVictoryTopic We're getting Thorald back, no matter what. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Do you have news? Did you find something? DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Please tell me you have news of my son. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Please, let's speak privately. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Please, anything you can do to help find my Thorald... DGIntimidateVictoryTopic If only you could help bring my son back to me. DGIntimidateVictoryTopic Thorald's disappearance has left our family in shambles. DGIntimidateVictoryYes Yeah. Here. DGIntimidateVictoryYes Yeah, yeah. Go on in. DGIntimidateVictoryYes Here. I hope you choke on it. DGIntimidateVictoryYes You win. On my honor, Carlotta won't have to worry about me ever again. DGIntimidateVictoryYes I get your point. Tell Iddra I'm sorry for being so stubborn about the coin. DGIntimidateVictoryYes You got me, fair and square. Tell Haran I'll pay. DGIntimidateVictoryYes I yield. By the honor of Clan Shatter-Shield, the Argonians will be paid as much as any other worker. DGIntimidateVictoryYes I was sent by Nepos the Nose. The old man hands out the orders. DGIntimidateVictoryYes He told me to make sure you didn't get in the way. That's all I know, I swear! DGIntimidateVictoryYes All right. Tell the old man his debts are settled. DGIntimidateVictoryYes All right. I'll lay off him. Just leave. DGIntimidateVictoryYes Fine! I'll take care of it, just please leave me alone! DGIntimidateVictoryYes Not at all. It's good to be put in your place once in a while. DGIntimidateVictoryYes I guess I shouldn't boast so much... it gets expensive! DGIntimidateVictoryYes You're no liar. Best fight I've had in years. There you are. DGIntimidateVictoryYes You ever need another blade at your side, just ask. Wouldn't mind seeing how you handle a few trolls. DGIntimidateVictoryYes You're a real fighter. I like that. DGIntimidateVictoryYes You ever need my steel by your side, you just ask. DGIntimidateVictoryYes My axe is yours, outlander. Just say the word. DGIntimidateVictoryYes That you have. Here. DGIntimidateVictoryYes Fair fight. Here you are. DGIntimidateVictoryYes Fine. The hilt is in a chest inside my house. Here are the keys. Take that damn thing and go. DGSharedTrespassNotSupposedToBeHere You're not supposed to be in here. DialogueAngasMillAeriAngasMillTopic If you've got an axe, you can always make gold chopping wood. Just bring me everything you cut. DialogueAngasMillAeriTownTopic That I am. My father left it to me after he died in that Great War against the Elves. DialogueAngasMillAeriTownTopic I don't care what's going on in the world. Rebellion. Dragons awakening. The mill is enough trouble for me to worry about. DialogueAnimalTrainerSystemBuyAnimalTopic Good. Here you are. He'll follow you to Oblivion and back, if it comes to that. DialogueAnimalTrainerSystemBuyAnimalTopic Sorry. You already have an animal with you. DialogueAnimalTrainerSystemBuyAnimalTopic War dogs cost gold, friend. Come back when you have some. DialogueAventusRiftenBranchTopic You came to visit! It's so much better here with Grelod gone. Thanks to you. DialogueCaravansHellos I welcome you, friend. How may I serve you? DialogueCaravansHellos So many refuse to talk to us. They call us thieves and smugglers. I am glad to see that you are not such a one. DialogueCaravansHellos Welcome. If I cannot serve you, I am sure that one of my other traders can do so. DialogueCaravansHellos I have traveled far across Tamriel to serve you. DialogueCaravansHellos Perhaps you have encountered Ma'dran or Akhari? Both are sworn to me, and both have worthy goods to offer. DialogueCaravansHellos The road makes this one weary. DialogueCaravansHellos The wind blows bitter cold in this place. DialogueCaravansHellos The longer we travel the roads of Skyrim, the more empty this land seems. DialogueCaravansHellos The warm sand of Elsweyr is far away from here. DialogueCaravansHellos The roads of Skyrim lead to many dangers. DialogueCaravansHellos We are creatures of the desert. The north wind chills us to the bones. DialogueCaravansHellos There is much beauty in this place. DialogueCaravansHellos How high the mountains of Skyrim rise! DialogueCaravansHellos A peaceful greeting to you. DialogueCaravansHellos It is a strange sight, the white flakes that sometimes fall from the sky. DialogueCaravansHellos The air is so clear in Skyrim, one can see forever. DialogueCaravansHellos A welcome to you, fellow traveler. DialogueCaravansHellos Khajiit welcomes you, and also your coin. DialogueCaravansHellos Do you seek to make a purchase? DialogueCaravansHellos Khajiit has wares, if you have coin. DialogueCaravansHellos Fortune smiles upon this meeting. DialogueCaravansHellos Welcome to you. DialogueCaravansHellos Warm sands, friend. How may this one serve you? DialogueCaravansHellos Please, come and browse our goods. DialogueCaravansHellos May your bed be warm and your food sweet. DialogueCaravansHellos You honor Khajiit with your presence. DialogueCaravansHellos Many fine things are here for you, friend. DialogueCaravansHellos Come and see what is for sale, traveler. DialogueCaravansHellos May the sun warm your path, friend. DialogueCaravansHellos Speak to one of the others if you wish to buy something. DialogueCaravansHellos This Khajiit guards the others. DialogueCaravansHellos Bring your coins, but do not bring trouble. DialogueCaravansHellos Khajiit is always watching for thieves and pickpockets. DialogueCaravansHellos Khajiit is ready for any troublemakers. DialogueCaravansHellos If you have come to see our wares, speak to the others. DialogueCaravansHellos Welcome to Khajiit's humble camp. DialogueCaravansHellos Khajiit is just a guard, and has no wares to sell. DialogueCaravansHellos Blessings of the moons upon you, traveler. DialogueCaravansHellos Some come to buy, but others come to steal. Khajiit shows no mercy to thieves. DialogueCaravansHellos Khajiit are not welcome in the cities, so we make our camps outside the walls. DialogueCaravansHellos There is no trust for Khajiit in this place. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereMarkarth Ah, good. Markarth is just ahead. I'm glad to make it through the Reach one more time. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Just a few more minutes and we'll be in Riften. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Now, I don't want to alarm you, but there are bandits in these parts. We're safe up here, of course. Just be careful if you're ever here on foot. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Lots of lawless folk around here. Foreigners, mostly. No offense. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Old Embershard Mine's up there. Used to produce a lot of iron, but collapsed and taken over by criminals, I hear. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Ever taken a swim in the Illinalta? Take care you don't get nipped if you do. Folk say it's teeming with slaughterfish. Who knows what else. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften See those stones peeking through the surface? Used to be an old Imperial fort on the lake. Really! Stories say it up and sunk one day, but who knows? DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Thieves used to hole up in Fort Snowhawk there, but they were run out. Wizards, they say. Suits me fine, so long as they mind their own by. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Hold your breath if you're superstitious. We're passing Shroud Hearth Barrow. Everyone knows spirits guard the old treasure there. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Got keen eyes? Might see nasty old Hajvarr up on White River Watch. Piece of work. Jarl should just run him out and have done with it. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Orc town nearby. Between you and me, we should have had them out years ago. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften You ever hear the one about the Breton and the bear-tamer? DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften I used to play in the Yorgrim River when I was just a boy. It's true! I was never afraid of the stories about Forsaken Cave, of course. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften I wouldn't wander here alone at night. Folk go missing around Chillwind Depths, the cave just over those falls. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften There's Treva's Watch. I hear bandits moved in while the steward was off fighting the war. I wonder if he ever got that sorted out? DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Between the cliff and Snapleg Cave there, I hate this stretch of road. There's an evil air up here. Getalong, horse. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften What's your sign? I was born under the Steed, as luck would have it. Really ought to visit my doomstone somtime. It's fairly near here. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften You can see Azura's Shrine for miles on a clear day. You people did a good job with that, I'll say it to anybody. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Say what you will about the dark elves, but they did a proper job with Azura's Shrine. Can see it for miles on a clear day. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Thalmor got their embassy up that way. If I had my way, the lot of those yellowback elves would wake up in a box back to Summerset tomorrow. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften I'm not asking, but if you happen to be the type, I hear that Kilkreath Ruin is a shrine to Merdia. You know. Daedra worship. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften Did you spot the Dwarven ruins up there? Mzinfazzle, Finchafft, Mzinchaleft? Good thing the Dwarves disappeared and stopped naming things. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereRiften We're passing Fort Sungard. Unbelievable view from up there. No wonder the Empire built a fort on that hill way back when. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereSolitude That's Solitude just ahead. Only a few more minutes now. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereWhiterun That's Whiterun up on the hill there. We'll be at the main gate before you know it. DialogueCarriageAlmostThereWindhelm We're almost there. Windhelm's just ahead. DialogueCarriageArriveMarkarth End of the road. Markarth, right on schedule. DialogueCarriageArriveRiften This is it. Riften, jewel of Skyrim. End of the road. DialogueCarriageArriveSolitude Here we are. Solitude. Safe and sound, as always. DialogueCarriageArriveWhiterun Here we are. Whiterun. Everybody out. DialogueCarriageArriveWindhelm We made it. Windhelm. Hope you enjoyed the ride. DialogueCarriageBlockingSleep After that, Ulfric... there will be a reckoning. Count on it. DialogueCarriageBlockingSleep The Thalmor will treat with whatever government rules Skyrim. We would not think of interfering in your civil war. DialogueCarriageBlockingSleep Thank you, Jarl Elisif. I appreciate your loyalty. DialogueCarriageBlockingSleep General, you've proven yourself a good friend to Skyrim. I continue to trust that you will do your utmost to safeguard our interests. DialogueCarriageBlockingSleep I have nothing to say to that murderer. DialogueCarriageBlockingSleep You should be pleased, Elisif. You've done well for yourself as the Empire's pet Jarl. DialogueCarriageBlockingSleep But beware - the Empire's loyalty is fickle. They will tire of this war, and then I will be the one dictating terms to you. DialogueCarriageBlockingSleep What about you, Elisif? Are these terms to your liking? Speak up. I'm sure General Tullius is waiting to do your bidding. DialogueCarriageBranchTopic Well then, consider it done. DialogueCarriageBranchTopic Ah! An excellent suggestion. I'll do that one, then. DialogueCarriageBranchTopic I think "Seven Septims for Sigurd" will do nicely. Especially when they're in their cups. DialogueCarriageBranchTopic Well, that's not bad. But I was thinking "Mogo's Mead" really gets the place moving. DialogueCarriageBranchTopic Hmm... Yes, you do raise a good point. What about the "Sweet Maidenfair from Hadleyshire"? DialogueCarriageBranchTopic Alright, alright... Um... How about "The Guttersnipe"? DialogueCarriageBranchTopic You trying to scare off my customers, son? Lively! Keep it lively! DialogueCarriageBranchTopic We've been down this road before, Mikael. Save the sap and sadness for your lady friends. My patrons need life! Cheeriness! DialogueCarriageBranchTopic Well, I was thinking maybe something mournful. A High Elf dirge, perhaps? These are rather trying times, after all. DialogueCarriageBranchTopic You know, Hulda, there's this lovely Argonian ballad I've been studying... DialogueCarriageBranchTopic So Mikael, what'll it be tonight, hmm? Something upbeat? A Breton jig maybe? DialogueCarriageBranchTopic Mikael, son. How about something with a bit o' kick? DialogueCarriageBranchTopic Olaf! It is time! DialogueCarriageCantWaitForever I can't wait here forever. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic This here's Rorikstead. Quiet place. Good people, though. You can get a room and a mug at the Frostfruit Inn if you care to stay. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic That's the Honningbrew Meadery. Supposed to be a big rivalry between them and the Black-Briars of Riften. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic Remember when that used to be the Honningbrew Meadery? Didn't stand a chance against those Black-Briars of Riften. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic This is Karthwasten. Mining town. I hear they've had a lot of trouble with the Forsworn. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic This here's the Darkwater. Comes down from Lake Honrich into the White River, a few miles downstream. Good fishing, I hear. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic Morthal, capital of Hjaalmarch hold. Not quite in the same league as Solitude or Whiterun, but a nice enough place if you like swamps. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic Here we are. Dawnstar. Capital of the Pale. Don't get up this way much. Beautiful country though. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic I can't say I've been to Winterhold more than a handful of times. Can't see much reason most honest folk would want to come up here. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic Well, this is Falkreath. Not much to look at if you're used to the bigger cities, but the folk here are friendly enough if you give them a chance. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic The Braidwood Inn's up that way. I know the innkeeper - Iddra. Nice lady. DialogueCarriageChatterTopic Shor's Stone - pissant little town, not even an inn. Just a bunch of miners scratching in the dirt. DialogueCarriageClimbInBack Climb in back and we'll be off. DialogueCarriageDontKnowIfWeCanOutrun I don't know if we can outrun 'em. DialogueCarriageEnjoyTheRide Sit back and enjoy the ride. DialogueCarriageGetOut Don't be long. I can't wait around forever. DialogueCarriageHoldOnTricky Hold on. This can get a bit tricky. DialogueCarriageHurryUp You'd best hurry it up. DialogueCarriageLookOutWeHaveCompany Look out, I think we have company. DialogueCarriageNeedSomething Did you need something? DialogueCarriageNeverMind That's fine. DialogueCarriageNoProblem No problem. DialogueCarriageNotEnoughMoney I don't do charity. No gold, no ride. DialogueCarriageReadyToGo Ready to go? DialogueCarriageReadyToGoYet You ready to go yet? DialogueCarriageSafeTrip Just sit back. This won't take long. DialogueCarriageStopAlongTheWay Going straight through or did you want to stop somewhere along the way? DialogueCarriageSystemLoreMarkarthTopic Markarth is... different from the rest of Skyrim, there's no doubt about that. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreMarkarthTopic The Reach has been part of Skyrim for a thousand years, but the Reachmen still haven't accepted it. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreMarkarthTopic It was only 20 years back that the Reachmen rebelled. Even took control of Markarth itself for a time. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreMarkarthTopic They were crushed, of course, but the survivors - the Forsworn - still lurk in the wilds and make the Reach dangerous for honest folk. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreRiftenTopic You can get a room at the Bee and Barb, but mind your coin purse -- it's no secret the Thieves' Guild makes its home here. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreRiftenTopic Oh, and if you meet Maven Black-Briar, stay on her good side. This is her city, and nobody else's. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreSolitudeTopic Solitude's been the capital of Skyrim as long as I can remember. Most of the High Kings of Skyrim were Jarls of Solitude first. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreSolitudeTopic Ah, let's see, what else... The Bards College is here, and the main office of the East Empire Company. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreSolitudeTopic If you need it, you can get a room for a fair price at the Winking Skeever, just inside the main gate. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreWhiterunTopic Well, I know the Companions make their home here. Their mead hall, Jorrvaskr, is the oldest building in the city. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreWhiterunTopic Oh, and there's a nasty feud between two families called the Gray-Manes and Battle-Borns. You'll want to be careful there. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreWhiterunTopic The rest you can find out by asking the townsfolk. I'd start with the barkeep at the Bannered Mare, or the castle steward. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreWindhelmTopic It's an old city, I can tell you that. The Palace of the Kings is ancient. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreWindhelmTopic It's not the friendliest place for outsiders. The Dark Elves were all forced to live in a slum called the Gray Quarter. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreWindhelmTopic The Argonians can't even live inside the walls. They're all stuck out on the docks. DialogueCarriageSystemLoreWindhelmTopic Still, Candlehearth Hall's got decent food and cheap bunks. You could do worse. DialogueCarriageWhatsThisAbout What do you suppose this is all about? DialogueCarriageWhereDoYouWantToGo Where do you want to go? DialogueCarriageWinterhold Of course, mum. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Oh, yes, Miss Hulda. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Certainly, mum. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Oh yes, mum. I'll make sure it gets done. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Don't forget to polish those glasses later. DialogueCarriageWinterhold You still need to remove that blood stain. From the... incident. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Just a reminder, sweetie - the blankets still need to be washed. DialogueCarriageWinterhold We're running low on the Black-Briar mead. In a couple days I'll have you make a run, fetch some more. DialogueCarriageWinterhold I'll be needing you to mop the place down extra tonight. Lots of spills! DialogueCarriageWinterhold Yes, mum? DialogueCarriageWinterhold Saadia dear? DialogueCarriageWinterhold Oh Saadia... DialogueCarriageWinterhold Ha! That's my girl. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Oh Jon, darling. You know you're the only stone-biting, knuckle-dragging Nord for me. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Aye, the bard's got talent, I'll give him that. You just make sure his music is the only thing you're admiring. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Oh, there's a better way. DialogueCarriageWinterhold A buxom barmaid between the sheets will keeps me plenty warm. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Better yet, she won't make my head ring the morning after. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Mikael is quite the songbird. Maybe he's the reason you're here all the time. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Perhaps it's because there's no better way to face the cold Skyrim nights than with a belly full of ale? DialogueCarriageWinterhold Bah. You're always working. Why else would I spend so much time here? DialogueCarriageWinterhold Not now, I'm working. DialogueCarriageWinterhold Sing you a special song tonight, beautiful lass? DialogueCarriageWoah Woah! DialogueCidhnaMineBorkulBlockingTopic The new meat. So soft. Tender. DialogueCidhnaMineBorkulBlockingTopic What was it like killing your first one, huh? DialogueCidhnaMineBorkulHowLongTopic Guards brought me in about 12 years ago. Was running a good group of bandits up until then. DialogueCidhnaMineBorkulHowLongTopic But these Forsworn. They're nothing like the men I cobbled together. They're real killers. DialogueCidhnaMineBorkulInForTopic Murder. Banditry. Assault. Theft. And lollygagging. DialogueCidhnaMineBorkulTopic01 A true killer, like me. The gods put us here to fill their halls with souls. You'll fit in fine down here. DialogueCidhnaMineBorkulTopic02 Pah. The gods have a place for killers. You can't carry the burden? You're weak. DialogueCidhnaMineBorkulTopic03 Liar. DialogueCidhnaMineBraigHowLongTopic Long enough. DialogueCidhnaMineBraigInForTopic Don't want to talk about it. DialogueCidhnaMineDuachHowLongTopic Year seven, I think? Surprised I haven't cut my own throat out by now, but something keeps me going. DialogueCidhnaMineDuachInForTopic I'm a Forsworn. One of our raids went bad, and I got captured. DialogueCidhnaMineDuachInForTopic Would've been fine dying for the Reach with my kinsmen, but the Silver-Bloods want their ore mined, so they threw me in here. DialogueCidhnaMineDuachInForTopic Valmir, you rat. You're not a soldier at all! Must be one of the Thalmor! DialogueCidhnaMineDuachInForTopic Oh! Um, he he... Hold on... I... I can explain... DialogueCidhnaMineDuachInForTopic Wait... who in blazes is this? DialogueCidhnaMineDuachInForTopic Hmm.... DialogueCidhnaMineDuachInForTopic Why don't you go in there and get it? DialogueCidhnaMineDuachInForTopic Wait, it's haunted? I don't like ghosts... let me think about this for a minute... DialogueCidhnaMineGrisvarHowLongTopic First it was 6 months, then a year, then 2 years. Now I'm in for life. DialogueCidhnaMineGrisvarInForTopic The first time? Thieving. The second time? Thieving. The third time? Thieving. It kind of keeps going like that. DialogueCidhnaMineOdvanHowLongTopic A couple of years? I wasn't a Forsworn when I came, but I joined up when I got in. Easier that way. DialogueCidhnaMineOdvanInForTopic Guards say I murdered someone. I was just sleeping off some mead in my aunt's house, but that didn't stop them from arresting me. DialogueCidhnaMineOdvanInForTopic I don't even know who they said I killed. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenForswornInvisible One day, the Forsworn will paint the walls of Markarth in your kinsmen's blood. Best you not be there on that day, Nord. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenForswornInvisible One day, the Forsworn will paint the walls of Markarth in their blood. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenForswornTopic Because life was better under the old ways. No Nords and their laws. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenInFor A Nord nobleman I served was stabbed in the night. Wasn't me, but I knew I'd be blamed. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenInFor So I ran. Joined the Forsworn. Started killing. Got caught. Now I'm here. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenInvisibleContinue I hear you're in for life. Sad. I'd get a shiv if I was you, or maybe some Skooma to drown your troubles. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenInvisibleContinue My advice? Serve your time at the pickaxe and get out. You don't want to end up getting a shiv in the guts over a bottle of Skooma. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenShivTopic They come in here once a week to clean out the bodies, grab any ore we've mined, and beat down the troublemakers. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenShivTopic That's the only time when we get food, too. And if there's not enough ore mined up, we don't get any. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenSkoomaTopic Bottles of Moon Sugar. Khajiit use it as a... pick me up. Good way to pass the time. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenSkoomaTopic Prisoners smuggle the stuff in. Only currency we have down here. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenTopic What are you in for, new blood? DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenTopic01 Innocent? So was I, for the first one. The other murders were all me, though. DialogueCidhnaMineUraccenTopic02 Petty thieving, huh? Just like poor Grisvar. Hopefully you'll learn your lesson faster than he has. DialogueCidhnaMineUrzogaATopic This is a jail, owned by the Silver-Blood family. We use the prisoners to mine for ore. DialogueCidhnaMineUrzogaATopic It's the most secure prison in Skyrim. Throw scum in, close the gates. No one gets out. DialogueCidhnaMineUrzogaATopic So unless you're here to dig, you don't belong here. DialogueCidhnaMineUrzogaATopic Now, you. Get down there. DialogueCidhnaMineUrzogaATopic All right. Open her up. DialogueCidhnaMineUrzogaBTopic We're not. The Silver-Bloods pay our wage. Every man here is a trained mercenary. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrCrimeBranchTopic I think you've been taking things that don't belong to you. Pay your debts, and we'll forget this happened. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrCrimeResponseApology Hold your head up. I'm sure it won't happen again. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrCrimeResponseApology Now that's just sad. Come back when you actually have something to show for your thieving. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrCrimeResponseDefiant Be careful around here. You don't want to anger the wrong person. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic It means living such that your Shield-Siblings would proudly say they fought at your side. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic Glory in battle, honor in life. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic Deal with problems head on. Leave whispers and sneaking to the gutter rats who can't fight for themselves. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic I wish more of our ranks asked such questions. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic I've started seeing the Companions as a kind of family. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic I've battled next to every man and woman here, and the bonds of sweat are stronger than those of blood. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic I would trust anyone here with my life, which is more than I'd say for the milk drinkers who raised me. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic It means resting your haunches in Whiterun more than I'd care to, for one. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic But when it's time to draw blood, there's no one in Skyrim I'd rather have at my back. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic It means waking up every day knowing that you could die, and having to earn your life by clawing for every breath. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic I don't know how those cozy lords manage to drag themselves out of bed every day. Why bother if you're not living? DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic I've never been a smart one. But the Companions welcome anyone with the heart of a warrior. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic When we step into battle, we fight for our own name, and the name of the Companions. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic There's been a group called the Companions for over 4000 years. It's been many different things in that time. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic A conquering army. Ruthless mercenaries. A band of drunken louts. And the esteemed company you see before you. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic But there's always been a kind of honor to it. We don't deal in politics or underhanded sneaking. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic We try to uphold the legacy of Ysgramor. To bear his good name such that it never be forgotten, and always be spoken with reverence. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic It means signing on for the Nord ideas of how to live your life. Honor, battle, glory, all that. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic "Even an elf can be born with the heart of a Nord," Skjor said when I joined. I think he meant it as a compliment. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic To me, it means not having to answer foolish questions a second time. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic Just because you've been accepted here so quickly, don't think I'm going to help you rise any faster. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic Fight well, don't be a lout, and you'll be fine. You don't need my help. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic So much. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic This group... this family... this band... this is the best thing I've ever been a part of. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic The oldest fighting group in Skyrim, and nothing but glory from Ysgramor's day to our own. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic To be counted in that line is a bit of immortality. Even if I never see Sovngarde, I'll have that much. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic It means when I have troubles, I always have someone on my side. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic We have Shield-Siblings to keep our backs as dangerous as our fronts. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic I think. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrGoodCompanionTopic My advice? Don't overthink it. Fight well and the rest takes care of itself. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrKodlakContinuation Family and honor. That's what it means to be one of us, boy. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrKodlakContinuation Family and honor. That's what it means to be one of us, girl. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrNotPaying We may be rough, but we don't tolerate thieving around here. If that's your game, go join the lowlives in Riften. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPreJoinWhosInChargeTopic Soon enough, it'll be me. In the meanwhile, the Circle handles our daily routine, and Kodlak advises them as Harbinger. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPreJoinWhosInChargeTopic You don't just waddle in here and get to speak to the boss. Who do you think you are? DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPreJoinWhosInChargeTopic If you want to embarrass yourself, I won't stop you. Kodlak is the Harbinger. He's the closest thing you'll find to a leader around here. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPreJoinWhosInChargeTopic The Circle are the ones who parcel out the jobs. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPreJoinWhosInChargeTopic That's Aela, Skjor, and the brothers, Farkas and Vilkas. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPreJoinWhosInChargeTopic Kodlak advises them, but he doesn't really give orders. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPreJoinWhosInChargeTopic In charge of what? I'm in charge of me, and you're in charge of you. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPreJoinWhosInChargeTopic If you're looking to join up, Kodlak's the one to be talking to. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Ask any fool around here, and get a different answer. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Mercenaries. Warriors of honor. Brothers and sisters of the blade. Drunken rabble. Take your pick. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic I've been here longer than most of them. Even I don't know sometimes. I just hope they don't kill each other. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic The Companions are my family. We fight so that other people don't have to. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic We bring honor and glory to ourselves and each other. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic You'll hear some of the brighter faces around here talk about honor and glory. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic I've got nothing against it, but for me, the promise of coin is what feeds my blade. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Wherever someone in Skyrim doesn't feel up to defending their own honor, we'll take up their burden. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Your question carries more weight than you may know, newcomer. The sort of thing some of us spend our lives pondering. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic The difference between a noble band of warriors and a ragged bunch of assassins is as thin as a blade's edge. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic I try to hold us to the right path. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Why would you even come to Jorrvaskr without knowing what we stand for? DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic This is not play-acting, here. We are the true spirit of Skyrim. Honor is in our blood, death in our hearts. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic If you seek either, you've found the right place. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Are you looking to join? I wouldn't get your hopes up. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic The short answer is: we fight. The long answer is... eh, forget it. You're not worth my time. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Only the most famous warrior band in all of Skyrim. Have you been living with the horkers? DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic When we arrive, blood is spilled and our blades sing to the glories of Ysgramor. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic We're the best damned fighters in Skyrim. At least, some of us are. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic They used to be something. Nowadays they just squabble amongst themselves. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Take my advice and keep away. You look too smart to get caught up with this bunch. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic To hear Vignar tell it, they're a bunch of layabouts and useless whiners who used to know how to fight. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic But he thinks everything used to be better. I, for one, would trust any Companion with my life. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic A good bunch of men and women, who make too much a mess, if you ask me. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Please step back, there's an execution in process. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Last warning. Stand back from the execution. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Do it, Listener. Kill me. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic You have no choice. You must complete your contract. You must kill me. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrPrejoinWhoTopic Please, Listener. Release my soul, and let Sithis be the judge. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrRiaContinuation This is life, brother. The struggle is what reminds us to draw breath. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrRiaContinuation This is life, sister. The struggle is what reminds us to draw breath. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWarTopic Politics are something best avoided. I prefer more personal confrontations, myself. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWarTopic None of our business. There's no honor to be had in the squabbling of jarls. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWarTopic Kodlak says not to worry about it. I worry that a bunch of snowberries are out there earning glory while we stay out of it. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWarTopic But I'll follow the old man's lead. As ever. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWarTopic Too confusing for me. Empire, Nords, Talos. Who cares? DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWarTopic Just tell me who needs bludgeoning. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWarTopic There are always good reasons to fight. I just wish this war had them. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWarTopic Who cares who worships what dead god? Give me something to make me draw my sword. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic How did you... you reach beyond your station, new blood. Let's wait and see how we judge your Trial before speaking further. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic You shouldn't even know about that. Remember you're not a full Companion yet, whelp. Know your place. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic What did I tell you? Keep quiet about that. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic I think there are some things that... oh, wait. Are you trying to trick me? You are not a full-blood yet. We can't talk about that. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic We should not be talking about that. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic I don't know what you're talking about. But if I were you, I'd hold my tongue. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic I don't know who you've been talking to, but they were clearly mistaken. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic Especially for a new whelp, you should choose your words more carefully. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic For me, a heavy burden. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic The beastblood has given me prowess, but my soul is now forfeit to Hircine upon my death. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic I keep searching for some hope of Sovngarde, but to no avail. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic A sensitive question. You may want to be careful broaching that subject with some. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic The old man and I have our differences when it comes to this. It's a blessing, given by Hircine. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic To worry about the hereafter means losing sight of the now. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic What do I care about Sovngarde? Give me the power to tear my foes as a beast of the wild, and I will savor it. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic I was raised in the woods. Hunting every animal I could see, with my father. I know them all as well as I know my own mind. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic And when I feel myself filling with the blood of the wolf... it's like I'm bringing all the strength of all the beasts inside me. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic But my mind and soul remain my own. I become more than either human or beast. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic It's like being born. Every time. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic I've enjoyed the boons that come with beastblood. Just like every member of the Circle. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic Kodlak is right, though. We've given a piece of our souls for this power. I know my mythic histories. Bargains like that lead to ruin. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic This is a curse that was laid upon us. That much is clear. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWerewolvesTopic I like being stronger when I become the wolf. But Kodlak says it is bad for the soul, and I trust him. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic I learned the ways of the blade in the Great War. Nearly lost my life outside the Imperial City. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic I came home to Skyrim when it was all over. But I wasn't much good at anything other than fighting. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Wandered around as a blade for hire. Was a damned good one, too. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic The money was good, and the women were good, and the drinks were good. But I was losing myself. My heart. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic I was lucky the Companions found me. Now there's a reason to be fighting. The honor of my brothers and sisters is worth more than coin. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Of course, the money is still good. And the drinks! DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic My mother was a Companion. And her mother. And all the women in my family, back to Hrotti Blackblade. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic I stayed with my father in the woods until I was old enough for my Trial. We hunted everything there was to hunt. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Good training. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Ma didn't live long enough to see me join, but I fight to honor her and all my Shield-Sisters through time. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Vilkas and I have been here since we were little whelps. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Our father, Jergen, raised us here. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Even Vignar couldn't remember Companions younger than us! DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic To hear Farkas tell it, our father raised us here as happy pups, running around biting knees. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic I love my brother, but his brains are not his strong suit. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic We were brought here by Jergen. Whether he was our father or not, I don't care. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic He left to fight in the Great War and never came back. So he's not my problem anymore. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic We've been here as long as either of us can remember, though. So try to show some respect. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Like most of our band, I found this family after losing my own. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic I traveled the length and breadth of this land, learning all I could of the sword and the axe. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic I was just a boy, but I had the fire of a man in my heart. Eventually, my body caught up to my spirit. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic My predecessor, Askar, found me in Hammerfell. I was serving as bodyguard for some weak-necked lord out there. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic He brought me back here, and I realized... that I was actually coming home. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic I work to bring honor to this family, and to the family that I lost. For my mother, my father, and my grandfather. For all my Shield-Siblings. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Fortune and glory, friend. Fortune and glory. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic So I wouldn't have to answer stupid questions from idiots. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Are you kidding? I've wanted to be with them since I was a little girl. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Haven't you heard the stories of Kodlak and Skjor fighting off the hundred-and-one Orc berserkers? DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Skjor says it was more like forty, but he's just being modest. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Where else would I want to be but here? Learning from them, fighting at their sides. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic A man of my station has many debts. I'm not much use at labor or learning, but I can throw a punch with the best of 'em. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic The Companions let me fight for gold, and so I fight. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic When you get to be my age, you don't remember why you did much of anything. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Only that it happened. DialogueCompanionsJorrvaskrWhydYouJoinTopic Oh, I'm not a Companion, myself. I just help Vignar. He took me in when I was having a tough time, and... well, I owe him. DialogueConstanceGrelodTopicTopic Sadly, yes. Even the townsfolk have taken to calling her "Grelod the Kind." Her very existence has become something of a running joke. DialogueConstanceGrelodTopicTopic Grelod runs this orphanage because she's old, and set in her ways, and doesn't know any other life. These children need love, and comfort. I try... DialogueConstanceGrelodTopicTopic But... I'm sorry, you should go. The children aren't up for adoption, and it's cruel to get their hopes up. Besides, Grelod hates... visitors. DialogueCrimeOrcsForceGreetTopic Stop, outlander. You must pay for your crimes in blood or gold. DialogueCrimeOrcsForceGreetTopic You've broken the Code of Malacath. Your choice - pay with your blood or your gold. DialogueCrimeOrcsForceGreetTopic Azura is watching over you. She has seen this before it ever happened. DialogueCrimeOrcsForceGreetTopic All will happen as it has been foretold. DialogueCrimeOrcsForceGreetTopic The Twilight has foreseen all of this. Everything will be revealed in time. DialogueCrimeOrcsForceGreetTopic I told you what you wanted to know. What else could you want? DialogueCrimeOrcsForceGreetTopic I can send you into Azura's Star as soon as you're ready. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasBridgeBranchTopic Those falls... dangerous place. Derkeethus thought he could find some good fish in the pools. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasBridgeBranchTopic Haven't heard from him in a long while. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic I'm lucky enough that none of my friends have been killed. Of course we have soldiers coming through all the time. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic That's better. Now scurry off, my little guttersnipes. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic Yes, Grelod. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic Yes, Grelod. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic Yes, Grelod. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic Yes, Grelod. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic Those who shirk their duties will get an extra beating. Do I make myself clear? DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic We love you, Grelod. Thank you for your kindness. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic We love you, Grelod. Thank you for your kindness. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic We love you, Grelod. Thank you for your kindness. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic We love you, Grelod. Thank you for your kindness. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic Now, what do you all say? DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic That, my darlings, is why you're here. Why you will always be here, until the day you come of age and get thrown into that wide, horrible world. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingSondasWarTopic And one more thing! I will hear no more talk of adoptions! None of you riff-raff is getting adopted. Ever! Nobody needs you, nobody wants you. DialogueDarkwaterCrossingTormirTownTopic Not much to it, really. We fish, and keep to ourselves. Try to keep from upsetting the Empire or the Stormcloaks, and so far the war's left us alone. DialogueDawnstarBeitildChargeTopic That would be Jarl Skald the Elder. He's over in the White Hall, probably talking about Ulfric like he's the second coming of Talos. DialogueDawnstarBeitildChargeTopic Jarl Brina Merilis is in charge, thanks to the Empire. Best hide any Talos amulets you have. DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic I own Iron-Breaker Mine. We make twice as much coin as those horkers over in Quicksilver Mine, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic I pay a good wage for any iron ore you dig up, if you're looking for work. DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic So you're the one who's been down there killing all my wolves. You're gonna die for that! DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic Give em the dogs, boys! DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic Get him! Rip his throat out! DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic Sounds like easy money to me. You're on. DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic I'll do you ten gold at three to one on the white one. DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic That all happened in the First Era, so the well should be clear of poison by now. It says the key to the well is likely somewhere in the crypt. DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic So the Dragon Cult poisoned their own well, which explains the ghosts. However, Skorm thought the well was the key to entering the inner areas. DialogueDawnstarBeitildMineTopic Let's see... found the Dragon Cult... laid siege... people already dead... poisoned themselves... blah, blah, blah... ah! Here it is! DialogueDawnstarBrinaArgueTopic Skald supports Ulfric's rebellion, and he doesn't like having a couple of old Legionnaires living in his town. DialogueDawnstarBrinaArgueTopic He's a fool. A dragon has attacked Helgen. Dawnstar needs the Empire now more than ever. DialogueDawnstarBrinaDragonsTopic No. We're completely exposed. Bows and arrows are in short supply. Every building is made of thatch and wood. DialogueDawnstarBrinaDragonsTopic I've given standing orders to the guards to prepare water bucket runs to the harbor in case of a fire, but that's all we can do. DialogueDawnstarBrinaTavernTopic Drowning your troubles in mead? A lot of folks are doing that these days. You'll want the Windpeak Inn. DialogueDawnstarBrinaTavernTopic As for work, you could try to catch Skald in a good mood, but your best bet would be working in the mines. They're on opposite ends of town. DialogueDawnstarBrinaWarTopic The Empire has stretched itself too far. This rebellion in Skyrim is one problem, but solving it won't fix everything. DialogueDawnstarBrinaWarTopic But that's the kind of talk an old warhorse shouldn't be making. Don't worry. I have my problems with the Empire, but I'm still a soldier first. DialogueDawnstarBrinaWarTopic We'll keep peace and order in Dawnstar. DialogueDawnstarFridaTopic Pfft. I'm the oldest woman in Dawnstar. Was here when the Skald the Elder was Skald the Younger. DialogueDawnstarFridaTopic He's a fool, if you haven't met him already. Thinks Ulfric Stormcloak is invincible and spits dragon fire. DialogueDawnstarFridaTopic The people here look to Brina Merilis when they need things settled. Real firebrand going up. Wasn't surprised when she joined the Legion. DialogueDawnstarFridaTopic Seems Brina Merilis and the Legion came and now she's Jarl. That's a relief. I don't like the fighting, but Brina is the woman for the job. DialogueDawnstarKaritaMotherTopic My mother taught me. She was a Bard, from the college in Solitude. DialogueDawnstarKaritaMotherTopic I hear they accept most people who apply, if you're ever interested. DialogueDawnstarKeraRhymeTopic Yes. Ever since mother died a few winters ago. I play songs and help with the drinks when I have the time. DialogueDawnstarLeigelfChargeTopic That would be Skald the Elder. He's been running Dawnstar ever since he was a boy, and he never lost that brat's attitude. DialogueDawnstarLeigelfChargeTopic Turned on the Empire first chance he got. Now we're all part of this rebellion. DialogueDawnstarLeigelfChargeTopic Brina Merilis came in with the whole damn Legion and deposed Skald. Couldn't have happened to a better man. DialogueDawnstarLeigelfRoleTopic If you don't mind digging, I own the Quicksilver Mine. It's a better life than working in that damned Iron-Breaker Mine with all those milk drinkers. DialogueDawnstarMadenaGreatWarTopic About 30 years ago, the Aldmeri Dominion invaded the Empire. It was a surprise attack, caught everyone off guard. DialogueDawnstarMadenaGreatWarTopic They ended up sacking the Imperial City. I was there, blasting apart young Elven men and women with Fireballs and Lightning Bolts. DialogueDawnstarMadenaGreatWarTopic By Akatosh, all the blood. The smell of flesh burned and pulled apart by magic. I never want to do that to another soul ever again. DialogueDawnstarMadenaTopic If you could call it that. The Jarl can make all the demands in the world, I'm not setting one foot on the battlefield. DialogueDawnstarMadenaTopic I fought in the Great War. I cut enough young lives short, I'm not going to do it again. DialogueDawnstarRumorsTopic Everyone in town knows about the Black Door, and to never go near it. DialogueDawnstarRumorsTopic Whatever you do, stay away from that Black Door. Being near it chills you to the bones. DialogueDawnstarRumorsTopic Did you hear? People have been seen coming in and out of the Black Door. Divines have mercy. DialogueDawnstarRumorsTopic I've heard that shadowy figures are being seen coming in and out of the Black Door. Gods help us. DialogueDawnstarRumorsTopic Excellent work. DialogueDawnstarRumorsTopic Now, I trust you're sharp enough to see that the sword doesn't match the description of the Ebony Blade you may know. DialogueDawnstarRumorsTopic It has languished too long outside the winds of alliance and betrayal. DialogueDawnstarRustleifTopic Aye. I've worked on a few moorings here and there for it. Most of the ship captains are superstitious about who works on their vessels, though. DialogueDawnstarRustleifTopic And Dawnstar is known for its bad luck. We're the last port of call before Windhelm, and the ore we trade makes rich targets for pirates. DialogueDawnstarRustleifTopic Not much. I came here a few years ago from Hammerfell when I married. DialogueDawnstarRustleifTopic The land is beautiful, but I can't stand this cold. I don't know how Rustleif manages it. DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic That's right. Home of the Redguards. The land of sand and seas. DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic I hope one day I'll convince Rustleif to take us back there. Until then, I'm content running the forge together here in Dawnstar. DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic Come back if you need steel. DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic We forge every day if you need anything. DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic Let me know if you come down with the Rattles. DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic Back to another fine day in Dawnstar. DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic Stay out of trouble, now. DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic Don't bother me again unless it's important. DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic Sahloknir! Ziil gro dovah ulse! DialogueDawnstarSerenTopic Sahloknir! Ziil gro dovah ulse! DialogueDawnstarSkaldDragonsTopic The only reason dragons are attacking is because Talos is angry with us for turning our backs on him. DialogueDawnstarSkaldDragonsTopic As soon as we drive the Empire out of Skyrim, the dragons will vanish. Mark my words. DialogueDawnstarSkaldExiledTopic (sigh) DialogueDawnstarSkaldExiledTopic No. Not really. DialogueDawnstarSkaldExiledTopic This isn't over. I catch you sending one letter to General Tullius, I'll have you both executed. DialogueDawnstarSkaldWarTopic The Stormcloaks are destined to win this fight. Talos is with us, and when you fight under a Divine's blessing, victory is assured. DialogueDawnstarSkaldWarTopic Dawnstar has a history of being the site of battles that have crippled the fate of the Empire. I hope this remains true. DialogueDragonBridgeAzzadaTopicsBranch1Topic I grew up an orphan on the streets of Markarth. I'd have died there, too, but for the kindness of an old warrior named Logrolf the Bent. DialogueDragonBridgeAzzadaTopicsBranch1Topic Logrolf rescued me and gave me enough money to get out of the city. I followed the Karth river north, and came here. DialogueDragonBridgeAzzadaTopicsBranch1Topic When I met Michel, I knew this was where I belonged. I suppose that's it, really. DialogueDragonBridgeAzzadaTopicsBranch2Topic Both the Imperials and Stormcloaks have sent riders this way, scouting the bridge and the lands nearby. DialogueDragonBridgeAzzadaTopicsBranch2Topic They stayed at the inn, but didn't pay. They said soldiers don't need to pay because they're risking their lives to protect us. DialogueDragonBridgeAzzadaTopicsBranch2Topic And that's not all. They took a heap of our lumber, and one tried to have his way with my daughter. They think they can do whatever they want. DialogueDragonBridgeAzzadaTopicsBranch3Topic Of course. Every night I pray that we don't get a visit from a dragon, or that two armies don't show up to fight over the bridge. DialogueDragonBridgeAzzadaTopicsBranch3Topic You ask if I'm worried? I'm terrified, if you want to truth of it. But I have to stay strong for my wife and children. DialogueDragonBridgeHorgeirTopicsBranch1Topic Damn right it has. Demand's never been so high, at least not since I built the new mill. DialogueDragonBridgeHorgeirTopicsBranch2Topic Her name's Olda. If you've met her, then you probably already know what I'm talking about. DialogueDragonBridgeHorgeirTopicsBranch2Topic I swear that woman is the most spiteful shrew in all Skyrim. I think there's a chunk of ice where her heart ought to be. DialogueDragonBridgeHorgeirTopicsBranch3Topic Hard to say. It's ancient, that much we know for sure. It was here long before the town itself. DialogueDragonBridgeHorgeirTopicsBranch3Topic I just hope the bridge survives the war. It's the only place you can cross the Karth river for a long way in either direction. DialogueDragonBridgeHorgeirTopicsBranch3Topic Could be if one side wants to keep the other from coming across, they might try to knock it down. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic No, I openly welcome the presence of armed strangers who have no reason to care about any of us. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic Of course it bothers me! I'm sure it's only a matter of time until they seize our mill in the name of their war effort. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic Next thing you know, there'll be more guards, and then we'll lose our homes as well. This is just the start of it, mark my words. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic I'm going to tell father you said that. He'll tan your hide for sure! DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic All you ever do is complain about what you want. You're a spoiled baby. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic But I don't want to be patient! I want my dress right now! Father promised! DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic It takes a while to make a dress, Dagny. You have to be patient. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic I'm so angry, I can hardly stand it! DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic Father promised me a new dress days ago, now where is it? DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic Leave me out of your intrigues, Hrongar. If you have something to say to the Jarl, say it with you own tongue. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic I'm not asking you to defy the Jarl, just to open his eyes. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic Use subtlety and suggestion to turn his thoughts to the war. You're his steward, he'll listen to you. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic What would you have me do, Hrongar? Your brother is the Jarl. You know I can't question his judgement. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch2Topic Proventus, you must help me. We need to convince my brother to do more for the war effort. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch3Topic My husband owns it, barely. He'll lose it soon enough. He's behind on his loan payments, but he drinks all his money away just the same. DialogueDragonBridgeOldaTopicsBranch3Topic Now we're deep in debt, penniless and about to lose our sole source of income. DialogueDushnikhYalAccept Thank you. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashBribe Well, for that much, I don't think Malacath would turn his scowl on me. All right, outlander. My axe is yours. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashBribe My honor isn't so cheap, outlander. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashForgetIt As you wish. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashIntimidate I'm not a coward, outlander. You want me to prove it? Fine. My axe is yours. To the most dangerous corners of Skyrim and back. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashLegionTopic I did. I was known as Ghorbash gro-Dushnikh in those days, in honor of my homeland. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashLegionTopic Many Orcs leave the stronghold to join the Legion. They welcome our skill in battle and smithing, and we welcome a chance to see the world. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashPersuade You're right. Look at me, talking in circles like some old wise woman. Very well, outlander. You have my axe when you need it. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashPersuade Yes, but I am honor-bound to stay here. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashRoleTopic Me? I'm Burguk's brother. I came back after serving many years in the Legion. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashRoleTopic By then, Burguk had already become chief, and he welcomed me home as family, not a rival as is tradition. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashSpeechcraftTopic I do. There is a freedom the roads give you that the stronghold does not. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashSpeechcraftTopic But I have a place here, and I wouldn't want to dishonor my clan by leaving again like some young pup. DialogueDushnikhYalGhorbashSpeechcraftTopic I couldn't. It would dishonor the place the chief has made for me. DialogueDushnikhYalReject As you wish. DialogueFalkreathDengeirTopic1Topic You think some Emperor sitting on a gilded throne in Cyrodiil is going to know what's best for Skyrim? DialogueFalkreathDengeirTopic1Topic The Imperial City's so far from here, it might as well be on one of the moons. And yet the Empire thinks it can tell us what to do an' how to live. DialogueFalkreathDengeirTopic1Topic I'm no man's fool. I know Ulfric Stormcloak's selfish and power-hungry, but he's the devil I know. Does that put it plain enough for you? DialogueFalkreathDengeirTopic3Topic Aye, not so long ago. Some'll tell you I stepped down on account of my old age. DialogueFalkreathDengeirTopic3Topic Truth is, I found out about all the Imperial spies crawling around Falkreath. A few well-placed bribes, and they bought themselves some friends. DialogueFalkreathDengeirTopic3Topic Suddenly the nobles are calling for a new Jarl, and all the while their pockets are jingling with the sound of Imperial septims. DialogueFalkreathDengeirTopic3Topic They named me Thane, and they got my nephew Siddgeir in my place. A real friend to Cyrodiil, that one. DialogueFalkreathDengierTopics2Topic For one thing, I won't empty Falkreath's coffers to buy myself fine clothes an' expensive mead. DialogueFalkreathDengierTopics2Topic For another, I won't get mixed up with criminals and other sorts who take advantage of the honest folk for profit. DialogueFalkreathDengierTopics2Topic I might be old, but I haven't forgotten that a Jarl's first duty is to look after his people. DialogueFalkreathLodTopic1 Only inside the gates. Much of Falkreath hold is wilderness and there's plenty of trouble to be had. DialogueFalkreathLodTopic2Topic I was Dengier's personal guard for years. I risked my hide more than once to protect him. DialogueFalkreathLodTopic2Topic Why would I do that? For money? Because I swore an oath? No, it was because he was a good man and a true friend. DialogueFalkreathLodTopic2Topic A true Nord places loyalty and honor above all else. DialogueFalkreathMathiesTopicCemetaryTopic The cemetery is ancient. It's been here longer than the town. DialogueFalkreathMathiesTopicCemetaryTopic I'm no scholar, but I know that a lot of battles have been fought here over the course of history. DialogueFalkreathMathiesTopicCemetaryTopic After each battle, more dead were buried, and the graveyard got bigger. I've heard it's now the biggest graveyard in Skyrim. DialogueFalkreathMathiesTopicGloomyTopic Yes, and I couldn't tell you why. DialogueFalkreathMathiesTopicGloomyTopic My wife and I think there's some dark magic at work. Or perhaps Arkay's influence is strong here, and he likes to keep it this way. DialogueFalkreathNenyaTopicsCemetaryTopic Many battles have been fought here over the centuries. Graves were dug and monuments built, and the town grew around these. DialogueFalkreathNenyaTopicsCemetaryTopic In time, Falkreath came to be known as the heroes' graveyard. Many noble Jarls and renowned warriors asked to be buried here. DialogueFalkreathNenyaTopicsCemetaryTopic Falkreath's reputation has faded somewhat, but the graves remain, reminding us of the one inevitable truth of life. DialogueFalkreathNenyaTopicsLongTopic It was Dengeir who made me a steward, long ago when he was young. DialogueFalkreathNenyaTopicsLongTopic When Dengeir's health began to fail, young Sidgeir was appointed Jarl in his stead. It was simpler just to keep me as steward. DialogueFalkreathNenyaTopicsLongTopic Sidgeir has no interest in running his hold, and so leaves such matters to me. As for my part, I do my best to see that folk are treated fairly. DialogueFalkreathRunilTopicHomeTopic Oh, merciful Arkay, no! I am too old and frail, and this graveyard is too large. DialogueFalkreathRunilTopicHomeTopic Kust is my assistant. He helps me tend the headstones and keep our cemetery clean, as befits a place of rest. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic Difficult? I am a Jarl. I eat the most succulent meat, drink the finest ale and hunt with the best hounds in the hold. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic Meanwhile, my very capable steward sees to the needs of the smallfolk and ensures that my hold runs smoothly. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic Being a Jarl could hardly be simpler. You should try it sometime. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic We're on the right track. She's been through here as well. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic Karliah always was a nimble minx... slipping passed these draugr must be child's play for her. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic Bone chimes... clever. Rigged to wake the draugr I'd bet. Don't blunder into any of them. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic There's two more of them ahead. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic Pull the chain over there, and watch out for the spikes. Looks like Karliah reset all of the traps. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic The stench in here... this place smells of death. Be on your guard. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsHardTopic Karliah's been through here. What does she expect to find? DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic My uncle Dengeir was Jarl until a short time ago. His old age and failing health caught up with him, and he stepped down. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic He now serves us honorably as Thane, and to the great benefit of the hold, I now serve as Jarl. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic And, once more, I prove Commander Maro the fool. I told him you can't stop the Dark Brotherhood. Never could. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic Yes sir. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic The honor has been mine. You should be proud of what we've accomplished here. The Dark Brotherhood is no more. And the Emperor, finally, is safe. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic Oh... I see. Well then, let me be just say that it's been an honor serving under you Commander Maro. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic Hmph. Now there's an excellent question. An excellent question, indeed. Truth is, as soon as the Emperor sets sail, I'm resigning my position. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic Very good. And you'll be returning to... Well, if you don't mind me asking, where exactly will you be going now, sir? DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic It'll be shuttered by the end of the month. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic And the outpost at Dragon Bridge? DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic The library is just through here. We're getting close now. DialogueFalkreathSidgeirTopicsYoungTopic The undercroft is ahead... ugh, Necromancers. Be careful. DialogueFalkreathSolafTopic1Topic His name's Bolund. He's the one who works the lumber mill down by the river. DialogueFalkreathSolafTopic1Topic If you meet him, don't expect much in the way o' conversation. He ain't one for talking, especially with folk he don't know. DialogueFalkreathSolafTopic2Topic I was once, but not any more. I was wounded in a skirmish up near Windhelm. This was years ago, mind you. DialogueFalkreathSolafTopic2Topic Now, maybe I don't pick up a blade in Ulfric's name no more, but I still hold with his ideals. Skyrim is Nord land, and we ought to rule it. DialogueFalkreathSolafTopic2Topic We don't need no help from the Empire on that count. DialogueFalkreathTeklaTopic1Topic I should think so! I'm well used to taking care of a house and the folk living in it. DialogueFalkreathTeklaTopic1Topic Taking care of the entire hold is another matter entirely. It would be a big enough job without the war on and the dragons about. DialogueFalkreathTeklaTopic1Topic I just hope I can do right by the good folk who are looking to us to see to their needs. DialogueFalkreathTeklaTopic2Topic Comes down to trust, I expect. After Dengeir gave up his seat to his nephew, he didn't trust anyone. DialogueFalkreathTeklaTopic2Topic Everywhere he looks, he sees assassins, spies an' plots against him. I'm the only one he confides in. DialogueFalkreathTeklaTopic2Topic So, when he was made Jarl again, he didn't wait a moment to name me his Steward. He said I was the only choice. DialogueFalkreathZariaTopics1Topic I know it's a bit strange. Not exactly a name to bring comfort to the sick and ailing who come to buy a poultice or salve. DialogueFalkreathZariaTopics1Topic But what you must understand about Falkreath is that our town is defined, for better or wrose, by the large and ancient cemetery here. DialogueFalkreathZariaTopics1Topic That's why the inn is called Dead Man's Drink, the farm is called Corpselight Farm, and so on. I suppose it's sort of a running joke. DialogueFalkreathZariaTopics2Topic Well, my family back in Hammerfell didn't approve of my interest in lethal poisons and death in general. So I left, and wandered north. DialogueFalkreathZariaTopics2Topic When I found this town, with its huge cemetery, I felt right at home. I opened the shop and I've never looked back. This is where I belong. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic Lead the way. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic Then lead on, friend. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic We are in this together, yes? DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic Lead, then. You have my steel. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic Let's not waste any time. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic Looks like you've already got someone with you. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic You have someone with you, already. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic You have someone already, friend. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic You already have someone to do your fighting for you. Don't need me. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic Looks like you got someone already. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic I'm right behind you. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic You already appear to have someone with you. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic Heh, a Nord skull makes the best axe blade. 'bout all they're good for. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic This, this is why people have a problem with your college, Nelacar. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic It was a minor miscalculation. I've already corrected it for future experiments. DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic Like some horrible monster was turned inside out, and then exploded. What did you do? DialogueFavorGenericFollowBranchTopic I'm sorry, could you describe the smell? DialogueFavorGenericIntimidateBranchTopic You can't scare me into submission. Let's go. DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState I'm on it. DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState Right away. DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState With pleasure. DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState Right. DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState (woof) DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState Let's see it. DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState Point the way. DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState Let us see it, then. DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState As you will. DialogueFollowerContinueFavorState Right, then. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic You'll be all right on your own? Then I'll see you back at the College. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic Really? J'zargo was having such fun. Ah, well. Back to the College then. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic I understand. We must all follow our own paths. If you wish to find me again, I'll be in Nightcaller Temple. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic Such a shame. I thought we were getting along so well. I'll head back to Riften if you should have second thoughts. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic Farewell, then. If you need my services again, just come and look for me in the usual place. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic So you think you can make it on your own, then? We'll just see about that. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic If that's what you want. Watch your back out there, and if you need me again, you know where I'll be. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic It is a lonely thing, facing all the dangers of Skyrim by yourself. Come and find me if you decide that you miss my companionship. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic You're letting me go? What's wrong, is my skill with a blade making you look bad? Hah! I'm kidding, friend. Until we meet again! DialogueFollowerDismissTopic Well, it's been fun. I guess I'll head back to Rorikstead. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic I will be back at your house if you need me, Thane. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic (whine) DialogueFollowerDismissTopic I'll head back home if you need me. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic Then back home is where you'll find me. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic I'll be heading home, then, if you need me. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic You need my strength again, I'll be home. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic I'm heading home if you need me. DialogueFollowerDismissTopic If that's what you want. Come find me at the College if you change your mind. DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic You want me to do something or not? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic Do you have any orders? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic Still something you'd like me to do? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic Did you require something of J'zargo? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic Did you still need me for something? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic So, did you still need my assistance? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic (panting) DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic Still need me to do something? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic Do you still need me to do something? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic You wanted me to do something, yes? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic You still wish something of me? DialogueFollowerDoingFavorBlockingTopic Still have something you need? DialogueFollowerEndFavorState Okie dokie, Listener. DialogueFollowerEndFavorState All right. DialogueFollowerEndFavorState As you will. DialogueFollowerEndFavorState Very well. DialogueFollowerEndFavorState (bark) DialogueFollowerEndFavorState All right. DialogueFollowerEndFavorState As you wish. DialogueFollowerEndFavorState Very well. DialogueFollowerEndFavorState Fine. DialogueFollowerEndFavorState Your call. DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic J'zargo is listening. DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic Anything, as long as I get to fight. DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic Name it. DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic What do you need? DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic (bark) DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic All right. What is it? DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic What do you need? DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic Go ahead. What is it? DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic What is it? DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic Fine. What? DialogueFollowerFavorStateTopic Yes, Thane. What is it? DialogueFollowerFollowTopic I'm right with you. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic J'zargo is ready for more adventure. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Of course. Let's go. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Certainly, I'm ready. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic I'm ready. Let's go. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Good. We should keep moving. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic I've got your back. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Good. I'm ready for anything. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Try not to walk into any spike-filled pits or filthy skeever dens. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Onward to our next adventure! DialogueFollowerFollowTopic I am the shadow at your back. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Good! Let's go find something to fight. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic I'm ready. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Great! Let's go! DialogueFollowerFollowTopic As you will, my Thane. I will protect you with my life. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic (bark) DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Let's get going. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic I will walk alongside you. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Khajiit walks in your footsteps. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic To the next fight. DialogueFollowerFollowTopic Lead the way. DialogueFollowerHellos Ready to get moving? DialogueFollowerHellos So, what's the plan? DialogueFollowerHellos We heading out? DialogueFollowerHellos Whenever you're ready to leave. DialogueFollowerHellos You're ready to get going? DialogueFollowerHellos Shall we get moving? DialogueFollowerHellos We going? DialogueFollowerHellos Ready to get going? DialogueFollowerHellos You are ready to move, yes? DialogueFollowerHellos We are leaving? DialogueFollowerHellos Waiting. DialogueFollowerHellos Still standing here. DialogueFollowerHellos Mara protect us both. DialogueFollowerHellos I'm itching for a fight. DialogueFollowerHellos I'm right behind you. DialogueFollowerHellos Still here. DialogueFollowerHellos I've got your back. DialogueFollowerHellos Lead on. I'm behind you. DialogueFollowerHellos To Oblivion and back, as they say. DialogueFollowerHellos Ours is to follow, friend. DialogueFollowerHellos Khajiit guards your back. DialogueFollowerHellos If anyone sneaks up on us, I'll smell them coming. Or I might not. We'll see. DialogueFollowerHellos You're taking us somewhere warm, I trust? DialogueFollowerHellos An Orc follows to the death. DialogueFollowerHellos My blood's calm. I prefer it boiling. DialogueFollowerHellos You have a grim look. DialogueFollowerHellos We've stopped. What is it? DialogueFollowerHellos I'm still here. DialogueFollowerHellos Let's get going. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic I'm a mage, not a pawnbroker, you know. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic If it will help you, then certainly. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic J'zargo only has so much room to carry things. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic No problem, I can carry a good bit of gear. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic Running out of room, eh? I'll be glad to help. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic Do I get to keep it? Just kidding. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic I am an apprentice wizard, not a pack mule! Oh very well, but make it quick. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic Sure, feel free to hand me all the gold you want. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic If that is what you wish. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic Sure, what have you got? DialogueFollowerTradeTopic No problem! How can I help? DialogueFollowerTradeTopic (bark) DialogueFollowerTradeTopic I am sworn to carry your burdens. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic What do you want me to carry? DialogueFollowerTradeTopic I'll shoulder some of your burden. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic Need me to carry something? DialogueFollowerTradeTopic Fine. Let's trade, then. DialogueFollowerTradeTopic What do you need to take? DialogueFollowerWaitTopic I'll stay here. You try not to get into too much trouble. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic As you wish. Just don't forget about me. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic Here? Right here? Very well, J'zargo shall wait. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic Certainly. Be careful. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic All right. Don't take too long. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic All right. Don't be long. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic You sure? All right. I'll keep guard here. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic If you say so. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic Don't make me wait too long. I get bored very easily. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic Patience isn't exactly my strong suit, but alright. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic As you wish. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic I'll be right here. Be careful now! DialogueFollowerWaitTopic As you wish, my Thane. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic Very well. Just be careful! DialogueFollowerWaitTopic I'll wait here. Just don't start any trouble without me. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic You go on ahead. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic (growl) DialogueFollowerWaitTopic Head on, then. I'll keep an eye out. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic I'll keep watch from here. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic You sure? Fine. I'll stand watch. DialogueFollowerWaitTopic Go on ahead. I'll stand guard. DialogueGenericCorpseGreetRelation Oh no! By the gods! This can't be happening! DialogueGenericFriendDiedShared1 What? Nooo! DialogueGenericFriendDiedShared2 We've got an assassin! Check the shadows! DialogueGenericFriendDiedShared3 Gods help us! DialogueGenericFriendDiedShared4 What in the...? DialogueGenericGoodbye Good day. DialogueGenericGoodbye Aye. DialogueGenericGoodbye Farewell. DialogueGenericGoodbye See you. DialogueGenericGoodbye I'll take my leave, then. DialogueGenericGoodbye Fight well. DialogueGenericGoodbye I'd better get going. DialogueGenericGoodbye It's been a pleasure. DialogueGenericGoodbye See you around. DialogueGenericGoodbye May you walk on warm sands. DialogueGenericGoodbye Yeah yeah... DialogueGenericGoodbye Safe travels. DialogueGenericGoodbye Safe travels. DialogueGenericGoodbye Take care, now. DialogueGenericGoodbye Swift hunting. DialogueGenericGoodbye Now if you'll excuse me... DialogueGenericGoodbye Bye. DialogueGenericGoodbye All right, then. DialogueGenericGoodbye Hmm hmm. DialogueGenericGoodbye Until next time. DialogueGenericHello Hmph. DialogueGenericHello Aye. DialogueGenericHello Yeah? DialogueGenericHello What do you want, little elf? DialogueGenericHello Speak, elf. DialogueGenericHello What do you want, cat? DialogueGenericHello What do you want, lizard? DialogueGenericHello What do you want, Imperial? DialogueGenericHello What do you need? DialogueGenericHello Need something? DialogueGenericHello Yeah? DialogueGenericHello What do you want? DialogueGenericHello What're you lookin' at? DialogueGenericHello Speak. DialogueGenericHello Yes, yes. I haven't got all day... DialogueGenericHello Got somethin' to say? DialogueGenericHello I'm all ears. DialogueGenericHello What now... DialogueGenericHello This better be good... DialogueGenericHello What can I do for you? DialogueGenericHello Oh, did you need something? DialogueGenericHello Yeah? DialogueGenericHello Huh? DialogueGenericHello I'm waiting. DialogueGenericHello Out with it. DialogueGenericHello What do you need, handsome? DialogueGenericHello Is there... something I can do for you? DialogueGenericHello Hi there. DialogueGenericHello What can I do for you? DialogueGenericHello What do you want? DialogueGenericHello I don't owe you money, do I? DialogueGenericHello What are you starin' at? DialogueGenericHello Yes, sera? DialogueGenericHello And what might you need? Hmm? DialogueGenericHello You want something from me? DialogueGenericHello Speak quickly. DialogueGenericHello How can I assist, hmm? DialogueGenericHello This one needs something? DialogueGenericHello Tidings. DialogueGenericHello You have questions? DialogueGenericHello Well hello. DialogueGenericHello Y...Yes? DialogueGenericHello You want something from me? DialogueGenericHello Make it quick. DialogueGenericHello Let's hear it. DialogueGenericHello Come, come. I haven't got all day. DialogueGenericHello Yeah? What? DialogueGenericHello Hi there. DialogueGenericHello Good morning. DialogueGenericHello Good afternoon. DialogueGenericHello Good evening. DialogueGenericHello Khajiit. DialogueGenericHello Breton. DialogueGenericHello Imperial. DialogueGenericHello Redguard. DialogueGenericHello Nord. DialogueGenericHello Argonian. DialogueGenericHello Yes? DialogueGenericHello Hmm? DialogueGenericHello Need something? DialogueGenericKnockOverObject Watch what you're doing. DialogueGenericLockedObject Hands off. DialogueGenericLockedObject Stay away from that. DialogueGenericLockedObject It's locked for a reason. DialogueGenericPickPocket Don't even think about it. DialogueGenericPickPocket Get away from me. DialogueGenericPickPocket Keep your hands to yourself. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic Cough Cough DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic Cough DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic They are, but your mind has to be sharp, too. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic My eyes are sharp. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic No, just very difficult. You have to look for shift in various shades of white. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic But you said that was impossible. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic Come, child, I will tell you how to track a snow cat. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic Oh, good point. I wish my head were made of rocks. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic That would be good! I could use it to smash other rocks. Easier to mine, then. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic Sometimes I think your head is made of rocks. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic Not today, we can't. DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic Can we both be chiefs? DialogueGenericPoisonCoughBranchTopic That's just how it is with families. When we're chiefs, you'll see how it is. DialogueGenericStandOnFurniture I'm not allowed to stand on furniture. DialogueGenericStopThiefFemaleNotChild You dirty thief! DialogueGenericStopThiefMaleNotChild Stop, thief! DialogueGenericSwingMelee You mind swinging that somewhere else? DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic Yes, let's get this over with. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic Are you done? Did you just come here to make speeches? Or can we get down to business? DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic You should be glad enough of a chance to lick your wounds at this point in the war. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic I consider even talking to the Empire a generous gesture. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic We're here to arrange a temporary truce to allow the Dragonborn here to deal with the dragons. Nothing more. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic I knew he wouldn't be able to resist. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic We have no interest in negotiating with the Empire. It's only a matter of time before they are driven out of Skyrim. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic There's nothing else to talk about, unless the Empire is finally ready to renounce its unjust claim to rule over the free people of Skyrim. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic The only reason I agreed to attend this council was to deal with the dragon menace. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic Here we go. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic I have something to say first. DialogueGenericTrespassingBlockingTopic Master Arngeir, are you going to just let him continue to... DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrCureDiseaseTopic Stendarr's Light purify you of your ills. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrDaedraTopic And any other abominations that prey on mortals. Vampires. Werewolves. Witches. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrDaedraTopic But the Daedra are the worst. Their callous disregard for our lives is abhorrent in the eyes of the God of Mercy. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrDeadraTopic They are profane creatures with no hope of redemption. They lure innocents to their deaths and corrupt the souls of all they touch. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrDeadraTopic And their heretical artifacts grant powers to mortals that wreak havoc across Tamriel. They must be destroyed or guarded to prevent temptation. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrHandOverYES Wise decision. The vaults in the Hall of the Vigilant will guard this against future temptation. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis We're quartered in the Hall of the Vigilant. Keeper Carcette heads Skyrim's branch of our order there, providing healing and justice as needed. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis To the block, prisoner. Nice and easy. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the Nord in the rags! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the lizard! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the Breton! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the dark elf! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the high elf! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the renegade from Cyrodiil! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the cat! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the Orc! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the Redguard! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Next, the wood elf! DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis As we commend your souls to Aetherius, blessings of the Eight Divines upon you, for you are the salt and earth of Nirn, our beloved.... DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis It's nothing. Carry on. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Ulfric Stormcloak. Some here in Helgen call you a hero. But a hero doesn't use a power like the Voice to murder his king and usurp his throne. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Forget the list. He goes to the block. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Forget the list. She goes to the block. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Follow the Captain, prisoner. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Captain. What should we do? He's not on the list. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Captain. What should we do? She's not on the list. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrInvis Who are you? DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic He is the God of Mercy. The patron of order and justice for all of Tamriel. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic We bring his compassion where none can be found, by cleansing all those who would offend his children. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic You're bloated with disease. The Vigilant of Stendarr can help you, as long as you promise to never assist the Daedra. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic I am Keeper of the Vigil here in Skyrim. We bring Stendarr's Mercy to the innocent and His Justice to the Daedra. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic You speak to a Vigilant of Stendarr. Cavort with any Daedra, and we will hunt you down. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic Wherever the Daedra hide, the Vigil of Stendarr will cast them into the light. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic Stendarr's Mercy be upon you, for the Vigil has none to spare. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic Walk always in the light, or we will drag you to it. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic The suffering the Daedra cause will not go unpunished. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoStendarrTopic The Mercy of Stendarr does not extend to Daedra worshippers. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoTopic Yes. Our order was founded after the Oblivion Crisis. We dedicate our lives to facing the threat of Daedra wherever they appear. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoTopic Stendarr be with you. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoTopic The Vigil will be watching you. DialogueGenericVigilantsOfStendarrWhoTopic None escape the Vigil. All come into the light. DialogueGenericWitchhuntersAggroBranchTopic I will see you dead, monster. DialogueGenericWitchhuntersAggroBranchTopic Maybe the order has something to do with the Symbols up there. DialogueGenericWitchhuntersAggroBranchTopic This looks like some sort of lever puzzle. We'll have to figure out the correct order to flip them. DialogueGenericWitchhuntersAggroBranchTopic An alchemy lab, it could be in here. It's worth a look. DialogueGenericWitchhuntersPlayerHasDaedricAttackTopic Then prepare yourself to receive Stendarr's Mercy. DialogueGenericWitchhuntersPlayerHasDaedricBranchTopic Stop! We know you're holding a Daedric artifact. Hand it over. DialogueGenericWitchhuntersPlayerHasDaedricTopic02 The Vigil of Stendarr cleanses all Daedric filth from Tamriel. Give us any artifacts you have, or we'll purge you like all the others. DialogueGenericZKeyObject Put that down. DialogueGenericZKeyObject Careful with that. DialogueGuardsGeneralEnemyA1 Well. I'll let it slide this time. But you'd be smart to take that off. Someone might get the wrong idea. DialogueGuardsGeneralEnemyA1 Hmm. I still don't like it, but I guess I'll overlook it. This time. DialogueGuardsGeneralEnemyA2 You don't seem to realize there's a war on. What you are is a damn Imperial spy! DialogueGuardsGeneralEnemyA3 Is that right? Here's how the Legion deals with rebel scum like you. DialogueGuardsGeneralEnemyBlockingTopic What do you think you're doing, walking around dressed like a damn Stormcloak traitor? DialogueGuardsGeneralEnemyBlockingTopic You've got a lot of nerve, walking around here dressed like an Imperial Legionnaire. DialogueHalfMoonMillHern2Topic Other people just make things complex. Out here, Hern and I can get everything we need from the occasional traveler. DialogueHalfMoonMillHernTopic We supply Falkreath to the south. Until recently we supplied Helgen. DialogueHalfMoonMillHernTopic Falkreath trades with the surrounding holds and without our wood they would have trouble keeping their prices low. DialogueHalfMoonMillHertTopic We have guests as often as we can but there aren't a lot of travellers these days. The war keeps people off the roads. DialogueHeartwoodMillMenBranchTopic With just myself and one child, it's damn near impossible. DialogueHeartwoodMillMenBranchTopic With Leifnarr gone, it's really put me in a terrible bind. I'm having trouble making ends meet. DialogueHeartwoodMillMenBranchTopic At this rate, we won't last more than a few more seasons at best. Then I'll just have to sell the old place. DialogueHighHrothgarArngeirWordsTopic You have learned so much already, Dragonborn. Growing your gift too quickly would be dangerous. DialogueHighHrothgarArngeirWordsTopic But there are many Words of Power in Skyrim, carved in the Dragon tongue. Even from here, we can feel the Thu'um resonate from them. DialogueHighHrothgarArngeirWordsTopic Finding these lost Words would be a sufficient test, to temper your abilities with experience. Ask when you are ready to search. DialogueHighHrothgarArngeirWordsTopic There is only silence right now. Perhaps later we will hear one of the lost Words. DialogueHighHrothgarArngeirWordsTopic I'll speak to Ulfric soon, but I make no promises that I can change his mind. DialogueHighHrothgarArngeirWordsTopic It's not that simple. Ulfric wants a Skyrim for the Nords. He doesn't trust what he calls outsiders. DialogueHighHrothgarArngeirWordsTopic General Tullius, over here! DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Keep your eyes open in the barrow... that's how they get you! DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes If you're headed up to the monastery, watch your step... it's a long way down. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes If you pass through again, stop by for a drink. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes A pleasant journey, milord. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes A pleasant journey, milady. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Just get out of town as fast as you can. Nothing for anyone here. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Sure, leave. Everyone else does. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes I wish I could go with you... DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Narfi so happy! So happy! So happy! DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes The mountain will eat you! Watch the mountain! DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes If you see Reyda, tell her that Narfi misses her and to come home soon... very soon. Soon... soon, like the moon! DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Reyda! Reyyyyda! DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Hmph. What a boring conversation. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Thanks again for the legwork. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Be careful up there. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Welp, time to gather more supplies I guess. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes If you get a chance, kill a few more bears for me, will you? DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Now go give those stupid bears what's coming to them! DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Just get out of my way, I've got work to do. DialogueIvarsteadGoodbyes Have yourself a great day! DialogueIvarsteadGwilinBranchTopic My father taught me an important lesson many years ago. DialogueIvarsteadGwilinBranchTopic He said "Gwilin, you have the whole world before you. Go out and experience it... be whatever you want to be." DialogueIvarsteadGwilinBranchTopic So I took his advice, and here I am. This life might not look like much to you, but I'm content, and isn't that all that matters? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Now that our "ghost" has been unmasked, I hope we see more visitors in town than just the occasional pilgrim. DialogueIvarsteadHellos If I were you, I'd keep away from the barrow on the east side of town... it's haunted. DialogueIvarsteadHellos We don't get many visitors through here, unless their headed up to High Hrothgar of course. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Need a room? Maybe a drink? You name it. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Let me know if I can get you anything. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Anything I can help you with? A drink or a room perhaps? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Pardon me, milord. Would you care to hear me play my lute? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Pardon me, milady. Would you care to hear me play my lute? DialogueIvarsteadHellos If you fancy a bit of music, let me know. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I can't believe Fastred's gone. I... I should have been nicer to her. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I can't believe Fastred ran off to Riften with that... that bastard. DialogueIvarsteadHellos My daughter's driving me crazy, so forgive me if I'm a bit on edge. DialogueIvarsteadHellos If you ever settle down to have children, think twice before you do it. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Any idea how I can get my daughter's head out of the clouds? DialogueIvarsteadHellos You a pilgrim or just passing through? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Watch yourself on High Hrothgar, I hear wolves prowl the steps. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I hope Fastred's doing well in Riften. I miss her. DialogueIvarsteadHellos You must be another pilgrim on the way up to High Hrothgar. No other reason to pass through here. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Pilgrim or not, if I were you, I'd move right through our backwards little town. DialogueIvarsteadHellos You better not be here to stir up any trouble. DialogueIvarsteadHellos And to think that we've been supplying the Greybeards with our own food supplies. What have they ever done for us? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Oh! You're a traveler! You must have so much to tell about the world outside this boring town! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Have anything interesting to tell me? DialogueIvarsteadHellos I can't imagine how exciting it must be like to journey from place to place. You're so lucky! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Narfi's happy now. Maybe Narfi can sleep. Sleep all night. Sleep, sleep, sleep. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Narfi's sad now. Still wait for Reyda. No more sleep. No, no... no. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I can't see you, Reyda! I can't find you! Why are you hiding? Hiding, hide, hide, hide! Don't make me sad! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Oh Reyda! Redya! You live among the clouds now, dear Reyda! DialogueIvarsteadHellos I miss Reyda. She was so nice to Narfi. Narfi's sad he can't be with Reyda. DialogueIvarsteadHellos You don't look like a pilgrim. Why bother visiting Ivarstead? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Hmm? What do you want? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Is it absolutely necessary for you to bother me right now? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Thanks again for delivering those supplies to the Greybeards. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Ah, good to see you again! How did that delivery go? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Passing through on your way to High Hrothgar? About to make a delivery up there myself. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I wish I could make my deliveries more often, but the road's getting dangerous. DialogueIvarsteadHellos 7,000 Steps indeed... next time they need to build it closer to the ground... DialogueIvarsteadHellos I'm going to put those pelts you gave me to good use. DialogueIvarsteadHellos So, have you shown those furry menaces that I mean business? DialogueIvarsteadHellos This has to be the worst place in Skyrim to run a mill. How am I supposed to do anything with all those bears running around? DialogueIvarsteadHellos These damn bears are driving me crazy! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Can you believe it? Another pile of logs ruined. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I swear, if one more thing goes wrong, I'm going to burn my mill to the ground! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Hello, my friend? What can I do for you on such a fine day? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Miss Temba is much happier now that you took care of those bears. She may not look like she is, but I can tell. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Those bears are making Miss Temba so angry. I hope you can do something about them. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Such a fine day, smell the air! Isn't it wonderful? DialogueIvarsteadHellos I hope life's treating you well, friend. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Oh my, a guest! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Please, make yourself at home! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Lone travelers can find these woods a little treacherous. DialogueIvarsteadHellos We've been looking for someone to join us in a hunt. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Hern and I do so adore guests! These guards are such a bore. DialogueIvarsteadHellos A guest, oh my! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Why don't you stay a while? DialogueIvarsteadHellos The patrols never seem to give us time to be alone, the nosy pests. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Is Hert his sister or his wife? Or both? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Hert keeps giving me this look. I don't know if she wants me or if she wants to eat me. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Just my luck, stuck in the sticks with this crazy old woman. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I grew up hearing songs about Eyldi the Bear! She wrestled a storm out of the sky! DialogueIvarsteadHellos If you're looking for a room, you want the Four Shields. DialogueIvarsteadHellos You look like you've seen your share of adventure. DialogueIvarsteadHellos It's no easy thing to make a living in the wilds of Skyrim. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Don't see many travelers out this way. DialogueIvarsteadHellos This land's tough and unforgiving, but beautiful, too. DialogueIvarsteadHellos You hear all this talk about a war? I hope it never comes here. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Seen some mean-spirited folk pass through lately. Thought I was rid of those sorts when I left Markarth. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Welcome, traveler. Mind yourself in our town. DialogueIvarsteadHellos We aren't a big city like Solitude or Markarth, but we like it this way. DialogueIvarsteadHellos If it weren't for Michel, I'd probably be dead in a Markarth gutter by now. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Got a loving wife, a healthy son and a patch of land to call my own. What more could a man ask for? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Are you a soldier? One day, I'm going to be a soldier! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Pa says I'm too young to fight in the war, but I can still help by patrolling the town. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I wish I was a soldier! They get to travel and stay up late and have fun! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Have you met Lucky? He's my pet goat, and he helps me patrol the town. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I'm hoping to run my own inn someday. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Faida's teaching me the innkeeper's trade. She runs the Four Shields. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Please stop looking at me like that. DialogueIvarsteadHellos First the war and now there's talk of dragons. What's next? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Working hard gives a man reason for drinking hard! Well, that and putting up with a wife like mine. DialogueIvarsteadHellos You're a well-traveled sort, I can tell just looking at you. DialogueIvarsteadHellos You been to Markarth? They've got a tavern called the Silver-Blood Inn. Best ale this side of Skyrim. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Money's been tight since the mill burned down. My wife won't let me forget it. DialogueIvarsteadHellos They say a strong drink, a sharp axe and a good woman are all a Nord needs to be happy. Two out of three's not bad. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Rest a spell! Can't work every minute of your life. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Where is that lazy man? DialogueIvarsteadHellos You going to try and sell me something? Well, I ain't interested. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Did my worthless husband send you? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Got nothing to say to strange folk. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Keep walking, stranger. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Got nothing to spare for travelers nor refugees, here. DialogueIvarsteadHellos If you're looking for handouts, look somewhere else. DialogueIvarsteadHellos You want anything in this life, you gotta take it. Just not from me. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Faida's the name. I keep the inn. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Something different about you, I can tell. Hope you ain't here to cause trouble. DialogueIvarsteadHellos The meals I serve ain't what I'd call a Jarl's feast, but they'll fill your belly. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Seen a lot of travelers lately. Mostly soldier, nowadays. DialogueIvarsteadHellos You met the Lylvieves? Quiet family, but they're the heart of Dragon Bridge. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Poor Horgeir. Everyone in town knows about his wife's affair but him. Probably better if he doesn't know. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I think the dragons are here to test us, and make sure we're still true Nords. DialogueIvarsteadHellos I was a barmaid at the Winking Skeever when I met my husband, rest his soul. Wasn't for him, I'd still be working there! DialogueIvarsteadHellos Respect the law, and you'll have no trouble in Dragon Bridge. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Mind you don't cross Tassius. He's in charge around here. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Don't start any trouble and I think we'll get along just fine. DialogueIvarsteadHellos At least, if you're gonna cause trouble, go somewhere else, okay? Please? DialogueIvarsteadHellos Another quiet day. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Another quiet day... I hope. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Heard there were wolves on the road up north. DialogueIvarsteadHellos Those rebels better not try coming to Haafingar. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic The Greybeards are a solitary lot. I don't think they've ever ventured outside their monastery. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic We get the occasional pilgrim passing through here on their way to the summit, but almost all of them have returned disappointed. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic I've been to the monastery many times, but I've never even laid eyes on one of the Greybeards. Not that I'd care to. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Being masters of the Thu'um, they could kill you by uttering a single word. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Well, not that they would. They seem peaceful, but I wouldn't want to provoke them. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Klimmek brings food supplies up to them once every few weeks when the weather permits it. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Other than that, they seem like a quiet lot. Don't really know too much about them. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic It's frightening living below their monastery. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Sometimes I swear I can hear strange noises rolling down from up there. It sounds like thunder, but there's never any rain. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic What do you make of that? DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic The Greybeards stay away from me, and I stay away from them. Suits me just fine. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Always thought it was odd that there's a layer of thick clouds covering the peak of the mountain above the monastery. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Not sure what's up there, but I bet the Greybeards know. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic They call the path to the monastery the 7,000 Steps. Can you imagine? DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic I'm not certain if I could even make it to the top without collapsing from exhaustion. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic The Greybeards are a strange bunch. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic I heard they live their entire life without uttering a single word; can you even imagine? DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic I've always fancied a journey up the 7,000 Steps to the monastery. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Anything to break the boredom of living in this town. I envy you. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Welcome to the Bards College. I am the headmaster here. How may I help you? DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic I have faith that you'll return with King Olaf's Verse. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Ah, you have returned. How goes the task I gave you? DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic I still don't know if rewriting the verse is going to work. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic I do hope the court likes the verse. I think we've done an excellent job of recreating it. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic We should have the festival soon. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Good to meet a prospective Bard. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Get the coat. Then we'll talk. DialogueIvarsteadHighHrothgarTopic Nice to meet the person who went to King Olaf's Tomb. DialogueIvarsteadLynlyAfterBranchTopic Right away, milord. DialogueIvarsteadLynlyAfterBranchTopic Right away, milady. DialogueIvarsteadLynlyBranchTopic I play the lute. If you'd like to hear something, it only costs five gold. DialogueIvarsteadLynlyBranchTopic Well it stops now, and that's final! DialogueIvarsteadLynlyBranchTopic01 That's so sweet of you. DialogueIvarsteadLynlyBranchTopic01 I'll tell you what... I'll play a special song, just for you, for no charge at all. DialogueIvarsteadLynlyBranchTopic01 Why thank, you... you're very kind. Still interested? DialogueIvarsteadLynlyBranchTopic02 Thank you, milord. DialogueIvarsteadLynlyBranchTopic02 Thank you, milady. DialogueIvarsteadLynlyBranchTopic03 Very well. DialogueIvarsteadTembaBranchTopic My business is falling apart, my apprentice never listens to me and now there's talk of dragons. DialogueIvarsteadTembaBranchTopic If I hadn't sunk every bit of gold I had into my mill, I would have picked up and left Ivarstead long ago. DialogueKarthwastenAtarInChargeTopic I'm not from here. I'm a sellsword. These are my men. DialogueKarthwastenInChargeTopic My family has owned Karthwasten for generations. Rare for anyone in the Reach that isn't a Nord. DialogueKarthwastenInChargeTopic Not that it does me any good. Nords think I'm working for the Forsworn. Forsworn think I'm working for the Nords. DialogueKynesgroveGannaTreesTopic We got the mill up and running before we found out that the big stand of trees on the hill was sacred. DialogueKynesgroveGannaTreesTopic Now we can't cut them, and can't afford to buy another mill somewhere else. DialogueKynesgroveGannaTreesTopic So we scrounge whatever we can from around the tundra. DialogueKynesgroveKjeldTownBranchTopic A bunch of lazy rabble trying to make a living. Can't get better workers in because everyone's afraid of the tomb up above the mine. DialogueKynesgroveKjeldTownBranchTopic Dead dragons... it hasn't moved since Ysgramor and it's not going to start now. Superstitious milk drinkers. DialogueKynesgroveKjeldTownBranchTopic So it seems the milk drinkers were right. That dragon was nearly the death of us. DialogueKynesgroveKjeldTownBranchTopic All we can do now is rebuild. DialogueKynesgroveRoggiMeadBranchTopic A lifetime of study, you might say. The best comes from Riften, but I haven't been there in years. DialogueKynesgroveRoggiMeadBranchTopic Ever tried making your own? It's... not easy. Trust me. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiAccept I'm sure Pavo would be grateful, and we'd all rest a little easier. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiAccept But that's nonsense. You can't handle a group of Forsworn by yourself. If their axes don't get you, their magic will. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiAccept I'd be grateful. Kolskeggr is my home. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiAccept But, I wouldn't go there if I were you. There's a whole group of them with axes and magic on their side. You'd never stand a chance. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiKolskeggrTopic Seems Kolskeggr Mine got hit by Forsworn. Those madmen get more bold every season. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiKolskeggrTopic Pavo and Gat are the only survivors. I'll be sending word to the Jarl about this, but I don't know when help will come. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiKolskeggrTopic Was. Forsworn came in the night. Killed everyone. Gat and I are the only ones who escaped. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiKolskeggrTopic Hopefully Skaggi will send word to the Jarl and something will be done. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiMineTopic That I do. If you want to grab a pickaxe and dig up some iron, feel free. I'll pay for anything you bring me. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiMineTopic Skaggi is in charge, not me. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiMineTopic That it is. Good to be home. Let me know if you dig up any ore. We'll pay a fair wage. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiMineTopic Let's just hope that doesn't happen. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiMineTopic Do you think the Forsworn will come here? I mean, if they attacked Kolskeggr.... DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiMineTopic Those Forsworn were fierce fighters. Fiercer than I could have imagined. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiMineTopic Thank the Divines we survived that. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiMineTopic Well I'm glad you were there. I don't know how I would have gotten past the Forsworn without you. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiReject Aye. DialogueLeftHandMineSkaggiReject You're telling me. DialogueMarkarthAntonHighRockTopic Yes. The finest court in all of High Rock. You think politics here are something? Well, we Bretons invented politics. DialogueMarkarthAntonHighRockTopic That is where I learned to cook, and where I belong. Not here, with all these dogs. DialogueMarkarthAntonHighRockTopic Please, leave me alone. I need to be by myself. DialogueMarkarthAntonHighRockTopic I... I have some thinking to do. Thank you for this. DialogueMarkarthAntonHighRockTopic By the Eight. She's dead, isn't she? And it's all my fault. DialogueMarkarthAntonHighRockTopic Did she really run off and do this? For me? DialogueMarkarthAntonHighRockTopic This... This is really from her, isn't it? DialogueMarkarthAntonReachTopic No. I'm a Breton from High Rock, and I refuse to be mistaken for a filthy native. DialogueMarkarthAntonReachTopic I don't care if we share the same ancestors, these people are savages. Half of them are Forsworn barbarians, and have you seen what they eat? DialogueMarkarthAntonReachTopic What have I done for the gods to take me so far from my beloved Daggerfall? DialogueMarkarthAntonReachTopic Damn Elves! You'll pay for this! DialogueMarkarthAntonReachTopic Praise Talos! DialogueMarkarthBanningMarkarthTopic Don't fall. DialogueMarkarthBetridSilverBloodsTopic My dear vagrant, we're the only family worth knowing in Markarth. We own everything in this city, even the jail. DialogueMarkarthBetridSilverBloodsTopic And guess who owns the Silver-Blood Inn? Not that we named it that, the people just insisted. DialogueMarkarthBetridSilverBloodsTopic Just shut up and play the game. DialogueMarkarthBetridSilverBloodsTopic I'm just saying that these ceramic lamps make me nervous. They just seem so... fragile. DialogueMarkarthBetridThonarTopic He's the real head of this family. He may not be the eldest, but all the work that keeps us respected is handled by my Thonar. DialogueMarkarthBothelaForswornTopic Only that they break an old woman's heart. So many friends, so many kin, all lost trying to rebuild a past that was over long ago. DialogueMarkarthBothelaMarkarthTopic We'd be better off without the Silver-Bloods. They send their brute, Yngvar, to shake some coins from me every few days. DialogueMarkarthBothelaMarkarthTopic And Betrid Silver-Blood is always asking for more potions to fuel Thonar's "ambitions." Gives him a temper fiercer than any bear. DialogueMarkarthCacelmoInvis I'll let you in if you agree to something for me. There's a giant spider in Nchuand-Zel. My workers call her "Nimhe," the poisoned one. DialogueMarkarthCacelmoInvis If you deal with Nimhe, I'll let you into both the excavation site and my Dwemer Museum. What do you say? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoAccept Enthusiasm. Good. Here's the key to the dig site. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoChoice01 Nchuand-Zel? The ruins underneath Markarth? The wealth of artifacts that I've based two human lifetimes of research on? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoChoice02 Magic. That's what they always want. Never history. Never the secrets of the lost races. No, just little spells and enchantments. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoChoice03 I told you I'm not hiring any more guards. Why do you people always bother me when I'm trying to finish my research? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoCityTopic To protect my research, for one. There are more cutthroat scholars out there who would steal my findings if they got the chance. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoCityTopic And the excavations into Nchuand-Zel are dangerous. Dwemer machines and traps still function even after thousands of years. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoContinue You idiot. Do you even know who I am? The most recognized scholar on the Dwemer in all of Tamriel, and you people keep bothering me! DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoContinue I... I'm sorry I... I got too excited. I'm in the middle of some very... stressful work, and I shouldn't have yelled. How can I help you? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Yes. Their history and culture is all around us in Markarth. A race of stonecutters, artisans, and engineers. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic They invented machines and built elaborate underground cities where they researched powers to rival the gods themselves. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic And then, at a time we are still not sure when, they disappeared. The whole people, all at once. Leaving behind only their works. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic I would think a man of your military training would be able to do with less but so be it. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic We can't afford to lose any men if we wish to keep Falkreath protected. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Sir, I will shape them up but with the war on it is unwise to reduce their wages any further. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Helvard! The guards are looking sloppy today. I want you to reduce their wages for the month. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Very well, but when their emissary arrives I want words with him. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic They are only a little late, Jarl. The trade routes are affected by the war, we should give them another day. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Why have taxes not come in from Granite Hill, Nenya? We should send some guards down there. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Mmmm, careful with that, Nenya, our merchants could be selling weapons to an invading force. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic The trade routes are affected as well. Procuring supplies is a guessing game. Weapons sell well though. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Preparing the defenses is almost impossible lately, every time we get a new war report our needs change. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Few want to be reminded of mortality in a time of war, Kust. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic The graveyard has been lonely. Few pay homage to the dead. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic It is a hard time for all of us. I hope that you too can find some sanctuary here, Mathies. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic The temple is the one place my wife finds peace these days, Runil. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Thank you, Runil. Your support means much to us. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Ah, Indara. Arkay's blessing upon you and your husband. Spend as much time here as you need. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Falkreath is our home, a place where we have good jobs under a good Jarl. Until the war comes to us we stay put. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Falkreath is where people go to die. We could be fighting, taking back Nord land! DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Another day in this graveyard. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Falkreath is a fine place to be, Bolund. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Thank you sir. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Don't let my brother get to you, Tekla. You're doing a fine job around here. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Yes sir. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Tekla. The Hall is filthy. See to your cleaning. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Hmmf. Maybe you're the one talking to him then... DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic We've been over this, Den. Tekla does not share your secrets with Siddgeir. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Do you think Tekla has been talking to Siddgeir again? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic That's kind of you, Lod. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic You know how farming is here, long days and little to show for it. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Mathies. I wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened to your girl. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic How's the Corpselight treating you Mathies? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Yes, yes I do. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Do you ever get tired of the long days on the farm, Mathias? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Do you ever get tired of long nights at the mill, Zaria? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Sure it is, Lod. Sure it is. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic The Gentle Repose is barren, it was barren the day my father claimed the land and it's barren now. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Hey, Lod, how is the worst farmer in the hold doing? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Bolund, you're going to die of thirst if you keep calling me that. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Hey gossip, bring me a drink. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic The way this war is going there might not be anyone left to drink soon. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic The way this war is going you'll soon have plenty of veterans like me to buy drinks. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Will do. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Keep them coming and keep them strong, Valga. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic At some point we should hire Tekla on here. If she could just spend less time serving Dengeir... DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic I wish I could afford to pay you both, Narri. I really do. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Alright, but if you ever want to leave that old curmudgeon I've got plenty for you to do at Gentle Repose. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Ah Tekla, you're a pretty little mouse. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Leave me alone, Lod. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic I don't know about you, tekla, but all my prayers are silent and who I pray to is still my own to decide. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic But what about the banning of Talos worship? Isn't that worth fighting about? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic I think the war is just an excuse. If it does end there will be a new reason and a new place. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Narri, do you think the war will ever end? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Hmmm, well don't take what you don't have to. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic As he should I suppose. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Tekla! It's good to see you, girl. How's Dengeir treating you? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic We had this same argument every week, even when you were Jarl. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic The impertinence! You never would have talked to me like that when I was Jarl. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic The mead is same as it ever was and the meat is fresh, maybe your sense of taste has "gone off." DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Narri! This mead tastes like water and the meat has gone off. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic And now winter is coming. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic I suppose so. Seems like it was just turning summer yesterday. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic The fields will need cutting soon. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Men aren't good or bad. They're just men. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic There are a lot of good men buried here, Kust. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic Most of my friends are buried here. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoDwemerTopic You visit us often, Thadgeir. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoExcavationSiteTopic Correct. It's a private place where I can catalog my research. Occasionally, the Jarl will come in and have questions, but that's thankfully rare. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoExcavationSiteTopic Persistent aren't you? Oh, very well. Who am I to stand in the way of curiosity? DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoIntroTopic What are you doing here? The excavation site is closed. I don't need any more workers or guards. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoReject Oh, very well. Probably safest that way. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoRingTopic Oh, that's right. I keep forgetting to pick that up. Poor Kerah, such a patient woman. DialogueMarkarthCalcelmoRingTopic Now, you're supposed to get something for your trouble, aren't you? How about some gold? People seem to like that, I notice. DialogueMarkarthCedranForswornTopic Before the Nords came, we worshipped the old gods, had our own kingdom. DialogueMarkarthCedranForswornTopic Times have been good and bad since then, but some folks couldn't handle not ruling their own land. Those are the Forsworn. DialogueMarkarthCedranForswornTopic The Forsworn follow the old ways, but some of those were best forgotten. Blood sacrifices, communing with Daedra. It's the road to ruin. DialogueMarkarthCedranJarlTopic That would be Jarl Igmund. Young for a ruler of a Hold, especially the Reach. DialogueMarkarthCedranJarlTopic Wasn't surprising he stayed loyal to the Empire. His father helped capture Ulfric Stormcloak after the Markarth Incident. DialogueMarkarthCedranJarlTopic Since the Stormcloaks took over, Jarl Thongvor is in charge. DialogueMarkarthCedranJarlTopic It'll be lean times for the Reach with a Silver-Blood ruling it, that's for certain. DialogueMarkarthCedranMarkarthIncidentTopic It's the whole reason Ulfric revolted against the Empire. Well, the first reason anyway. DialogueMarkarthCedranMarkarthIncidentTopic Forsworn had taken over Markarth, and Ulfric and his men drove them out. Empire promised they'd be free to worship Talos afterwards. DialogueMarkarthCedranMarkarthIncidentTopic Pity no one told the Elves. Whole group of those Thalmor came and they demanded Ulfric's arrest. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Arnleif and Sons Trading Company. I'm a porter. Just some muscle hired to move heavy packages. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic But we don't get any shipments in. Forsworn attack every caravan. So all I do is sit here and drink. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Come, Rikke. There's still much to be done. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic We couldn't have done this without you. The Empire glories in your accomplishments... DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic I pray you're right, Legate. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic In the meantime, we'll continue to root them out and put them to the sword. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic There's bound to be resistance. There are many Stormcloak camps tucked away in the hills. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic They'll no doubt strike whenever and wherever they can. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic But without Ulfric to inflame their passions, they'll settle down and return to their homes eventually. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic I hope we haven't just created a martyr. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic It wasn't so bad. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic I hate giving speeches. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic I am proud of all of you. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic All hail the Emperor. All hail his Legionnaires! DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic In appreciation for your exemplary service, I am doubling your pay and compensation to the widows of your fallen comrades. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic We are turning the city over to Brunwulf Free-Winter, an honorable and faithful man. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Many of you will be staying in Windhelm to aid the Jarl in restoring order and stamping out any embers of rebellion that may still smolder here. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic His head will be sent to Cyrodiil where it will adorn a spike on the walls of the Imperial City. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Let this day be a final warning to all who would still call themselves Stormcloaks. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic The rebellion is over. Ulfric Stormcloak is dead. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Attention! General Tullius has an announcement! DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic The Legion will be staying here for quite some time. I don't expect there to be any further violence. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Brunwulf. Yes, I've sent men to protect him and bring him here. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Windhelm will need a government quickly if we are to prevent more violence. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Well, the men will be expecting some kind of speech. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic And we'll need to hand the city over to that Free-Winter fellow. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Nothing. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Just saying goodbye. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic What was that, Legate? DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Talos be with you... DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic It'll make for a better song. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Let the Dragonborn be the one to do it. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Right. Well? DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Sovngarde... sir. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Well Ulfric, you can't escape from me this time. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Any last requests before I send you to... to wherever you people go when you die. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Well? What are we waiting for? DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Enough! DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic You are traitors and will die traitors' deaths. Stand down and face public execution, or advance and face summary execution by my hands. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic It matters little to me. Either way I'll be sending your heads back to Cyrodiil. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic No... But I belong to her. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Skyrim doesn't belong to you, Ulfric. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic I'll never surrender Skyrim into the hands of a corrupt and dying Empire. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Step aside Galmar. We're here to accept Ulfric's surrender. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Not while I'm still breathing, it's not. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Ulfric Stormcloak! DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic You are guilty of insurrection, murder of Imperial citizens, the assassination of King Torygg, and high treason against the Empire. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic It's over. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Already done, sir. DialogueMarkarthCosnachWorkTopic Secure the door. DialogueMarkarthExteriorGuardTopic First time in Markarth, traveler? Take my advice. You see anything, don't get involved. The city guard will take care of it. DialogueMarkarthFaleenBlockingTopic You. Who are you to approach the Jarl of Markarth? DialogueMarkarthFaleenWalkAway Nothing to say. Fine, but I'm watching you. DialogueMarkarthGarveyMiserableTopic That's right. Welcome to Markarth, traveler. Thank the Divines you can choose to live somewhere else. DialogueMarkarthGateGuardChoice01 See, there you go. Getting involved. Don't ask too many questions in Markarth. Safer for everyone that way. DialogueMarkarthGateGuardChoice02 Jarl Igmund sits on the Mournful Throne. You can find him in the keep, in the back end of the city inside the mountain. DialogueMarkarthGateGuardChoice03 You're our favorite kind of traveler, then. The market area is just inside in the gate. DialogueMarkarthGhorzaFreeformAccept Thanks. DialogueMarkarthGhorzaFreeformReject Fair enough. DialogueMarkarthGhorzaFreeformTopic Tacitus? Boy's an Imperial. I keep showing him how to treat the iron, but he never gets it. DialogueMarkarthGhorzaFreeformTopic In the Legion, the Imperial smiths used to read books when they couldn't set their hammers straight. Wisdom of the old, I guess. DialogueMarkarthGhorzaFreeformTopic If you find a book called "The Last Scabbard of Akrash," could you bring it to me? Tacitus sure isn't learning by example. DialogueMarkarthGhorzaSmithTopic Grew up in a stronghold. Every Orc girl tended the forge at some point. DialogueMarkarthGhorzaSmithTopic But a girl has to grow up, and life in the stronghold asked for a lot in return, so I joined the Legion. Mastered my trade there. DialogueMarkarthGhorzaStrongholdTopic That's right. An Orc stronghold. Kept to ourselves. Lived as our ancestors would have wanted. DialogueMarkarthGhorzaStrongholdTopic Wasn't enough for me, though. I left. Didn't want to end up as the third wife of some lowly chieftain. DialogueMarkarthGuardGateInvis Head on in. Keep your nose clean, and you won't have any problems with us. DialogueMarkarthHogniMeatTopic Ah, now that is a good question. Where does Hogni get the finest, freshest meat from all over the Reach? DialogueMarkarthHogniMeatTopic The answer is simple. Orcs. There is a stronghold nearby whose hunters can butcher a deer in seconds. DialogueMarkarthHogniMeatTopic Now having an Orc for a wife would be something, yes. Strong and bulky. Too bad they don't let people go beyond the walls. DialogueMarkarthHogniMeatTopic Let me show you where they are. Maybe they welcome you. Maybe they put an arrow in your face. Who knows? DialogueMarkarthHogniTownTopic Do I look like a guide? Only thing I do is sell meat. Now, are you going to buy or not? DialogueMarkarthIgmundDragonsTopic Yes, I know. We have some advantages if they come here. The city is built into the mountainside, so it's hard to reach into even from the skies. DialogueMarkarthIgmundDragonsTopic And everything is made of stone. Even the beds. We'll have no trouble from dragon's fire here. DialogueMarkarthIgmundHouseTopic I don't know you, and I don't sell what precious property we have to outsiders. DialogueMarkarthIgmundHouseTopic But if you're willing to work, and you prove to be reliable, I might deem you worthy to live here. My steward will handle things from there. DialogueMarkarthIgmundMilitiaTopic The White-Gold Concordat. Our treaty with the Elves after the Great War forbids free worship of Talos. DialogueMarkarthIgmundMilitiaTopic But that's what we promised Ulfric and his men. It seems foolish looking back, but at the time we were hoping the Elves wouldn't find out. DialogueMarkarthIgmundMilitiaTopic So when they did find out, it was either we arrest Ulfric and the militia, or enter into yet another war with the Aldmeri Dominion. DialogueMarkarthIgmundMilitiaTopic The choice was clear. And now, Ulfric threatens the thinly veiled peace we sacrificed so much for. DialogueMarkarthIgmundReachTopic When the Aldmeri Dominion invaded the Imperial City, the Legion all but turned a blind eye to the other provinces. DialogueMarkarthIgmundReachTopic Many of the disgruntled natives of the Reach used the opportunity to depose the Empire, and founded what they called an independent kingdom. DialogueMarkarthIgmundReachTopic It was little more than a chaotic uprising, but the Reach was removed from Imperial authority for two years before we reclaimed it. DialogueMarkarthIgmundReachTopic But the leaders of the uprising refused our offers of peace. They fled into the hills and became the Forsworn. DialogueMarkarthIgmundWarTopic It all started here. This rebellion. When the Empire lost the Reach during the Great War, we became desperate. DialogueMarkarthIgmundWarTopic We promised a group of Nord militia free worship in exchange for their help retaking the Hold. Then the Elves found out about it. DialogueMarkarthIgmundWarTopic We were forced to arrest all of them. Ulfric Stormcloak, their leader, used the whole thing as proof that the Empire had abandoned Skyrim. DialogueMarkarthIgmundWarTopic The rebels called it "The Markarth Incident." It was the founding day for the Stormcloaks, and where this war really started. DialogueMarkarthKerahAccept Thank you. He can be a bit difficult, but I'm sure he'll appreciate your help. DialogueMarkarthKerahReject Very well. DialogueMarkarthKerahTownTopic My family came here centuries ago. We've made a good living smithing the silver that flows through the city. DialogueMarkarthKerahTownTopic But you probably wanted to know about the fancy carvings and stonework, didn't you? Travelers always do. DialogueMarkarthKerahTownTopic Here, I have a delivery I need to make to Calcelmo. Why don't you take it to him? He knows the history of Markarth better than anyone. DialogueMarkarthKibellDwarvesTopic That's right, at least according to them scholars. Stonework's clearly not Nord, that much is for sure. DialogueMarkarthKibellDwarvesTopic Old Elven fella named Calcelmo is up in Understone Keep's the one you want to talk to for more about that. Wrote all those books. DialogueMarkarthKibellForswornTopic That's right. Whole group of the natives called the Forsworn rose up against the Nords. Drove them out. DialogueMarkarthKibellForswornTopic Then Ulfric Stormcloak came with his militia. That must have been a sight to see, him shouting folks to death. DialogueMarkarthKibellForswornTopic You'd think that'd be the end of it, but those Forsworn are still in the hills, and they're as wild as wolves. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic It's an old city. Legends say Dwarves built it first. Then after they vanished, the natives moved in. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Finally, the Nords took over around Tiber Septim's time. That bent a few folks' arms the wrong way. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic The man doing your job? DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Watch your mouth with me you pup! Who do you think you are? DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Oh, I've heard this one before. Watch out Divines, poor Kodrir curses you all for giving him life! DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic I swear that woman Aeri doesn't appreciate all the work I do for her damn mill. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic You're all heart, Kodrir. I bet Lady Mara is weeping a special tear for you right now. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Don't know why you're asking me. But I'm glad that damn Imperial is gone. Something wrong about him. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Whatever happened to Ennodius? He just up and left. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic I run the mill, so I'm a busy woman. What is it? DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Always something going wrong. Mill needs more lumber or the saw needs sharpening. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic A good lumberjack is quiet, hard-working, and honest. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic I used to work at Anga's Mill, but I... I had to leave. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Someone's after me I tell you. They're watching me. Somewhere. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Don't talk to me. You could be one of them. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Strangers are always trouble. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic I don't need to talk to you. Get lost. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic Aeri's the boss. Should talk to her if you want work. DialogueMarkarthKibellMarkarthTopic I work at the mill. Chop trees, carry logs, saw lumber, you know. DialogueMarkarthKibellNativeTopic They just call themselves the people of the Reach. Lot of common blood with the Bretons, by the looks of them. DialogueMarkarthKibellNativeTopic Used to have their own kingdom, till the Nords came, now they're at the bottom of the hay pile. DialogueMarkarthLisbetAccept Thank you. I'll have a sum of gold waiting for you when you return. DialogueMarkarthLisbetArnleifTopic I inherited the store from my husband. His father was Arnleif. DialogueMarkarthLisbetArnleifTopic My husband, Gunnar, died about five years ago. Forsworn attack. I miss that stubborn oaf. DialogueMarkarthLisbetArnleifTopic I die for my people. DialogueMarkarthLisbetArnleifTopic You have stepped on us long enough! DialogueMarkarthLisbetArnleifTopic I bleed for the people of the Reach! DialogueMarkarthLisbetArnleifTopic The old gods give me strength! DialogueMarkarthLisbetArnleifTopic We are the rightful rulers of Markarth! DialogueMarkarthLisbetArnleifTopic Death to the Nords! DialogueMarkarthLisbetArnleifTopic Glory to the Forsworn! DialogueMarkarthLisbetAttackTopic No. As if trade wasn't poor enough. Now there's violence in the streets. DialogueMarkarthLisbetAttackTopic It was the Forsworn, wasn't it? I lose dozens of shipments every season to those barbarians. Now they're in the city? Gods help us. DialogueMarkarthLisbetReject Sorry to hear that. DialogueMarkarthLisbetStatueTopic Ah, there it is! This little gold delight is going to keep us afloat for a while. Thank you. Here's something for your hard work. DialogueMarkarthListbetStoreTopic Oh, by the Divines is it that obvious? I swear, if my Gunnar was alive to see me now. DialogueMarkarthListbetStoreTopic This store would finally be on its feet if I hadn't lost my last shipment to Forsworn attacks. A specially-made Dibella statuette. DialogueMarkarthListbetStoreTopic You aren't for hire, are you? A sellsword? I'll pay you if you can recover that statuette from the Forsworn. DialogueMarkarthMothAccept Good hunting. DialogueMarkarthMothArmorTopic Depends on what you need. A light armor is good for travel. Less to carry. A heavy armor weighs you down, but no true warrior goes without it. DialogueMarkarthMothArmorTopic If you want some heavy armor, I might have a deal we could work out. I need a Daedra's Heart. Jarl wants me to cool his new sword in blood. DialogueMarkarthMothArmorTopic You get me a heart, I get you some armor. Interested? DialogueMarkarthMothReject Very well. DialogueMarkarthMothWeaponsTopic Anything. Served in the Legion with my sister, Ghorza, for over 10 years. We've seen every piece you can imagine. DialogueMarkarthMothWeaponsTopic Have you met her? She runs the forge near the smelter. Just don't bother talking to her apprentice. Boy has no talent. DialogueMarkarthMuseumChoice01 Because Calcelmo doesn't want anyone to go in. He runs the museum, he makes the rules. DialogueMarkarthMuseumChoice01 You have a problem with that? Go talk to him. You'll find him in front of the ruins during the day. Just down the tunnel. DialogueMarkarthMuseumChoice02 Calcelmo. He's the Jarl's magical advisor, but he spends most of his time studying the ruins. DialogueMarkarthMuseumChoice02 If you want in, Calcelmo has to give his say-so. He's usually in front of Nchuand-Zel. Just down the tunnel. DialogueMarkarthMuseumChoice03 It means "Dwarven Museum." Lost race of people that built the city. DialogueMarkarthMuseumChoice03 You want to know more? Ask Calcelmo. He's usually in front of the ruins, just down the tunnel. DialogueMarkarthMuseumTopic Halt. The Dwemer Museum isn't open to anyone without the court wizard's permission. DialogueMarkarthMuseumTopic Margret! DialogueMarkarthMuseumTopic Guards! Forsworn! DialogueMarkarthMuseumTopic Gods, not again.... DialogueMarkarthOgmundBardsCollegeTopic It's a school that teaches music, poetry, that sort of thing. Most bards in Skyrim have been to the college at some point. DialogueMarkarthOgmundBardsCollegeTopic If you're thinking of applying, talk to Viarmo in Solitude. DialogueMarkarthOgmundWhatdoYouDoTopic That's about the truth of it. Write tales about the sights I've seen. The battles I've fought. DialogueMarkarthOgmundWhatdoYouDoTopic Earned quite a name for myself when I was younger. The Bards College still teaches some of my work to their students. DialogueMarkarthOgmundWhatdoYouDoTopic It is done. The defiler is defeated. Take Dawnbreaker from its pedestal. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarAccept Ogmund the skald. He's old, respected, and I know for a fact that he worships Talos in his home. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarAccept But the Jarl has been hesitant to call for his arrest. I want you to break in to his home and find evidence. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarMarkarthTopic As if this craggy, wretch of a city could give birth to a superiorly bred Mer such as myself. No, I'm not from Markarth. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarMarkarthTopic I was sent here to lead the Thalmor's interests in this corner of Skyrim. It's my mission to root out all Talos worship in this city. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarMerTopic The Thalmor saved all of Elven-kind during the Oblivion Crisis. We've been watching over our lands for 200 years. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarMerTopic We re-founded the Aldmeri Dominion, an alliance between us and our Bosmer cousins. You might know them from their common name. Wood elves. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarMerTopic We intend to prove the superiority of Mer over Man, one century at a time. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarReject Hmph. Fine. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarTalosTopic It's a religious matter. The Thalmor do not recognize Talos as a god. He was only a man, and does not deserve to a place in our pantheon. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarTalosTopic The Empire has agreed to accept our beliefs, and its citizens have a responsibility to cease their heretical worship. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarTalosTopic You're awfully inquisitive, aren't you? I like that. Perhaps you'd care to solve a little problem I'm having? DialogueMarkarthOndolemarThalmorTopic We're the ruling body of the Aldmeri Dominion. Saviors of Mer. Victors of the Great War. DialogueMarkarthOndolemarThalmorTopic The Empire exists because we allow it to exist, and I'm here to make sure the Jarl of Markarth remembers that. DialogueMarkarthReburrusBlockingTopic Why are you bothering me, kinsman? DialogueMarkarthReburrusBlockingTopic Why are you bothering me, outsider? DialogueMarkarthReburrusChoice01 Then you're talking to the wrong man. You want that elf in the keep. Calcelmo. DialogueMarkarthReburrusChoice01 The only thing I'll tell you about Markarth is stay out of our business. We have enough around here without some outsider causing trouble. DialogueMarkarthReburrusChoice02 I don't. Go bother Kleppr at the Silver-Blood Inn, he handles the newcomers. DialogueMarkarthReburrusChoice02 And by Ysmir, if you find work, just do what you're told. There's enough trouble in Markarth already. DialogueMarkarthReburrusChoice03 That's about the only harmless thing you can do in this city. Silver-Blood Inn is the place to go. DialogueMarkarthReburrusChoice03 And once you've had your fill of mead, do us all a favor and go home. Markarth has enough trouble. DialogueMarkarthSennaDibellaTopic A heathen. Lovely. Oh, don't put on that angry look. I'm just teasing you. DialogueMarkarthSennaDibellaTopic Dibella is the Divine of Beauty. She is a patron deity to artists and bards and those who seek life's simple pleasures. DialogueMarkarthSennaDibellaTopic The temple offers her blessings to pilgrims and instruction in enjoying all life has to offer. DialogueMarkarthSennaInstructionTopic Well, you are lovely to look at, and there's so many things I could teach you, but I'm afraid the Temple isn't taking in new students. DialogueMarkarthThongvorBlockingTopic You there. You another Imperial puppet? Answer me. DialogueMarkarthThongvorChoice01 What of it, he says. Your Empire is destroying everything Skyrim stands for. Honor. Pride. Mighty Talos. DialogueMarkarthThongvorChoice01 What of it, she says. Your Empire is destroying everything Skyrim stands for. Honor. Pride. Mighty Talos. DialogueMarkarthThongvorChoice02 Finally, someone with decent sense. The Empire is destroying everything Skyrim stands for. Honor. Pride. Mighty Talos. DialogueMarkarthThongvorChoice02 Jarl Igmund can't ignore us for much longer. Not if the Silver-Blood family has a say. DialogueMarkarthThongvorChoice03 There's a war on and you don't know what I'm talking about? The Empire is destroying everything Skyrim stands for. DialogueMarkarthThongvorChoice03 Jarl Igmund can refuse to see me all he wants. The Silver-Blood family will be heard. DialogueMarkarthThongvorDragonTopic The stone structure the Dwarves have left makes us invincible. Let the dragons singe a few carpets. They'll never topple Markarth. DialogueMarkarthThongvorElvesContinue He founded the Empire, and now they've turned their back on him. To appease the Elves. Elves! Do the Elves rule Skyrim, or do the Nords? DialogueMarkarthThongvorElvesContinue He founded the Empire, and now they've turned their back on him. To appease your kind, Elf. Do your people rule Skyrim, or do the Nords? DialogueMarkarthThongvorElvesTopic They started the Great War. Nearly destroyed the Imperial City. Then the Emperor took the coward's way out and surrendered. DialogueMarkarthThongvorElvesTopic Now the Elves dictate everything we do, and they don't want us acknowledging a "mere human" like Talos as the god he is. DialogueMarkarthThongvorElvesTopic Your kind started the Great War. Nearly destroyed the Imperial City. Then the Emperor took the coward's way out and surrendered. DialogueMarkarthThongvorElvesTopic Now you people dictate everything we do. Don't want us acknowledging a "mere human" like Talos as the god he is. DialogueMarkarthThongvorFamilyTopic We own Cidhna Mine. Best prison in Skyrim, and source of half the wealth in this city. DialogueMarkarthThongvorFamilyTopic We keep the Reach safe. We flood Markarth with wealth, but does the Jarl listen to us when we want a say? No. DialogueMarkarthThongvorFamilyTopic He's busy forgetting that Ulfric Stormcloak saved this city from the Forsworn. Ulfric's a hero, not a damn criminal. DialogueMarkarthThongvorForswornTopic Through neglect. During the Great War, they let the unwashed natives retake the Reach and declare their own sovereignty. DialogueMarkarthThongvorForswornTopic The Stormcloaks were forced to retake the Reach on our own, but that taste of independence emboldened them. And the Forsworn were born. DialogueMarkarthThongvorForswornTopic In the end, we took back Markarth, but those damn Forsworn still stalk the hills and roads, looking for revenge. DialogueMarkarthThongvorInvisible01 You can tell Jarl Igmund that the Silver-Blood family won't tolerate his cowardice for much longer. DialogueMarkarthThongvorTalosTopic That's a true Nord hero. A legend. So great that the Divines themselves lifted his soul into the heavens and made him a god. DialogueMarkarthThongvorUlfricTopic He used the Thu'um. Shouted those Forsworn from the walls. Then he led a band of Nord warriors in to take the city. DialogueMarkarthThongvorUlfricTopic Just like Talos himself at the Battle of Old Hroldan, reclaiming the Reach from those heathen natives. DialogueMarkarthThongvorWarTopic The Imperials were weak. They created this Forsworn problem, but now that we're in charge we'll solve it. DialogueMarkarthThongvorWarTopic Once the war is over, I'll petition Ulfric to send the militia and we'll cleanse the Reach of this menace. DialogueMarkarthThongvorWarTopic Then the Forsworn will be where they belong. In the mines, bringing us wealth. DialogueMarkarthVerulusArkayTopic Arkay. One of the Eight Divines. God of the Cycle of Birth and Death. DialogueMarkarthVerulusArkayTopic It is his shrine people pray to when they visit the Hall. That his divinity will watch over their ancestors on the way to the next life. DialogueMarkarthVerulusHalloftheDeadTopic New to Skyrim? I was confused at first, too. The Nords call their mausoleums the Hall of the Dead. DialogueMarkarthVerulusHalloftheDeadTopic It's where people in the city are buried. Fathers. Forefathers. Mothers. Foremothers. DialogueMarkarthVerulusHalloftheDeadTopic That's enough, Thongvor. We're done. DialogueMarkarthYngvarBlockingTopic Bloody enough for you, outsider? DialogueMarkarthYngvarBloodandSilverTopic It's right there in the name of the most powerful family in Markarth. The Silver-Bloods. DialogueMarkarthYngvarBloodandSilverTopic They have a whole mine filled with prisoners to dig up silver ore, gets smelted by workers they pay, and they own half the city. DialogueMarkarthYngvarBloodandSilverTopic I work for them. The inn is named after them. When the guards make an arrest, they check with them first. DialogueMarkarthYngvarChoice01 Markarth. Is it bloody enough for you? DialogueMarkarthYngvarChoice02 Then turn around and go back where you came. City doesn't need you, doesn't want you. DialogueMarkarthYngvarChoice02 Blood and silver are what flows through Markarth. That's the way it is. That's the way it'll stay. DialogueMarkarthYngvarChoice03 Then you've found your home, friend. Blood and silver are what flows through Markarth. Welcome. DialogueMarkarthYngvarChoice04 If I was threatening you, believe me, you'd know it. DialogueMarkarthYngvarChoice04 You outsiders never learn. If the Forsworn don't get you, the guards will throw you in Cidhna Mine to work your fingers off. DialogueMarkarthYngvarChoice04 Think that's water in the river? Blood and silver are what flows through Markarth, friend. DialogueMarkarthYngvarLiveTopic No. I live in a nice house in Solitude where the air isn't filled with smoke from the silver smelters and golden-haired girls shine my shield. DialogueMarkarthYngvarLiveTopic Been here ever since I left the Bards College. Turns out a few muscles earn more gold than a damn lute. DialogueMarkarthYngvarLiveTopic The Silver-Bloods pay me, let me crack a few skulls, and keep the guards off my back. That's all I need. DialogueMarkarthYngvarWorkTopic Jarl is who you want to talk to. Always coin to be made killing off some Forsworn in the hills. DialogueMarkarthYngvarWorkTopic As long as you don't mind going axe-to-axe with a bunch of Daedra-worshipping savages who practice the dark arts. DialogueMerryfairFarmDravinBranchTopic Are you kidding me? We're all alone out here except for a few guards who couldn't give a damn about us. DialogueMerryfairFarmDravinBranchTopic We make easy pickings for thieves looking to steal everything we worked so hard for. DialogueMerryfairFarmDravinBranchTopic Not only did I they take my bow, but they took all of our coin as well. Nothing's sacred to these people. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe That is a fine idea. The stronghold would need the gold when I left to marry, anyway. I am ready when you are. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe No. That won't be enough. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Enough of this! Fight me! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe So, you reveal yourself! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You can't hide from me! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Now you die! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe There you are! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Ha, found you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe No one here now. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Must've scared 'em off. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Oh come now, resorting to petty tricks are we? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe A bold but foolish move. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Coward. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You cannot escape! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Where'd you go? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Come back here! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Where are you? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You can't hide forever! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You can't get away from me! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Show yourself! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe They picked on the wrong old man. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Haven't fought like that in years. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe That was fun. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Waste of time. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Didn't even work up a sweat. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Pathetic. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe That's what happens when you cross the Guild. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I think they got the message. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Damn, just as I was getting warmed up. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I hardly felt a thing. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe And that's why I'm the best. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe The afterlife will bring you darkness. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Bless you, Lady of Shadows... I live another day. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I send you to your rest. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You were no match for a Nightingale. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Shadows consume you. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe That wasn't a fight, it was an execution. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe So ends the lesson. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe That was hardly worth my time. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe How disappointing. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hmph. Hardly a challenge. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe That'll teach you to cross me. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe That's the end of that. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Guess it was nothing after all. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I must've been hearing things. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You've got moments to live. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'm endin' you right now! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Sure, pick on the old guy! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Come on, I won't bite. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Let's get this party started. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Been itching for a fight. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I promise a swift but painful end! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe No mercy for the weak! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'll give no quarter! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe So, it's to the pain then! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Ah good, I could use some practice! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'll tear you apart! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe The burden of death approaches! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Come, taste darkness's embrace! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Your life is forfeit! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I bring death from the shadows! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe By Nocturnal's grace, I will defeat you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'll bury my blade in your heart! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Your death will be my triumph! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You're not a threat... merely an annoyance. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You've just written your own epitaph. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Your blood will adorn my blade! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe This shouldn't take long. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe So, it begins. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Where'd you come from? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hey! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Talos smite you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Sovngarde awaits! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe This should be fun! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe For the Emperor! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Die villain! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'll enjoy killing you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Time to fight! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Finally! Let's end this. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe There you are! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Your feeble attempt to hide is insulting! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You can't hide from me! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Enough games, let's end this! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Come coward, now we fight! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I knew I heard something! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Now you're mine! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hm? Something's near... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Wait, I hear something... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I heard something. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Who's there? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe What was that? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'll find you... it's only a matter of time. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Coward. Come out and fight me! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Come on, show yourself! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'm going to find you... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I don't have time for this. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe There's no need to hide. I won't hurt you. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Come out and face me, you coward! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I can smell your fear. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I can hear your heart beating. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hiding? The shadows are my domain! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hiding only prolongs the inevitable. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I know you're here. Show yourself. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Noooo.... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Shadows take me... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Aghh.. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'll... get you... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'm not done yet... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Gods... the pain... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You'll... pay for this... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe No... DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Enough of this! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Damn it, no more! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Nuhn! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Aggh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Oof! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Arrggh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Gah! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hunh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Wagh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Unh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Rrargh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hrargh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Unnff! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Yeeeaarrggh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hhyyaarrgghh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Nnnnyyaarrgghh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe No mercy! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Bring it on! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Gettin' to old for this. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You're mine! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I'll cut your throat! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Come on! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You've breathed your last! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Your end is near! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Out of my way! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You mean nothing! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Your life is mine! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You're making this too easy! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Your fate is sealed! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Nocturnal, guide my hand! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Dodge this! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Darkness consume you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Shadows take you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Is that all you've got? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You fight like a child! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Ha! You're pathetic! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Die, damn you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Come on, put up a fight! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Give up? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Yeargh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Rargh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hyargh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Nyargh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Yiiee! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hunh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Die! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Grrarrgh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Die, insect! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I will end you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You're as good as dead! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You're... dead! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Fall, damn you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Agggh! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Come on! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe I... Willl... kill you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Ha ha ha ha ha! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe You're pathetic! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Talos smite you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Talos smite you! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Die dog! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Hahaha! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe On your knees! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Take that! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhBribe Die! DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhIntimidate I am not weak. Very well, outlander, I will go with you whenever you are ready. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhIntimidate You dare challenge a child of Malacath? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhLeaveTopic Yes, but I must stay here and wait for the day when I'll be married and sent to another stronghold. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhLeaveTopic It is our way, and I am proud to follow my people's traditions, but I can't help but feel chained. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhLeaveTopic I couldn't. It would shame my chief and my mother and foremothers. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhMarryTopic No. A chief's daughter marries who her chief wishes. It ensures the stronghold receives a fair trade in goods for my absence. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhMarryTopic I used to look forward to the day when I was of age, to see new places and people, but now it feels like a cage. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhPersuade You're right. Malacath teaches us to meet our fate. Perhaps this is mine. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhPersuade What do you know about my people, outlander? DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhRoleTopic I am Larak's daughter. Soon, I'll be of age and will be sent to marry an Orc chief in some distant stronghold. DialogueMorKhazgurBorgakhRoleTopic Until then, I train. My new home will need strength, and my new sisters must know I am not weak when I arrive. DialogueMorKhazgurBorghakNeverMind Thank you for asking. DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic Ah, you saw that, did you? DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic Life in Morthal has been troubled lately. The people are uncertain, restless. They merely look to the Jarl for leadership. DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic There's news of rebellion against the Empire. Strange noises have been heard in the marshes at night. DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic And then, the tragedy with Hroggar's home. DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic The men simply seek wisdom. Everything will be fine. DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic Morthal has enough problems as it is! DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic We've no need for wizards in our midst! DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic I have told Idgrod of your concerns. She'll look after you all. Please, go back to your business. DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic Please, enough already! DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic How are we supposed to feel safe in our own homes? DialogueMorthalAslfurInitBranchTopic What's the Jarl going to do about it? DialogueMorthalAslfurQuietPlaceTopic That's what many here wanted. A quiet life in a quiet place, without the noise or the trouble of a city. DialogueMorthalAslfurQuietPlaceTopic Now some worry this wizard, Falion, will foul it all up. DialogueMorthalBenorWhatDoTopic Oh, well. You know. A bit of this, a bit of that. DialogueMorthalBenorWhatDoTopic They haven't made me a guard, even though I've been asking. So I'll take odd jobs, anything that comes along for now. DialogueMorthalFalionInitialBranchTopic If you stand before me to accuse me of sacrificing children, or eating the hearts of the dead, you may save your breath. DialogueMorthalFalionInitialBranchTopic I have done no such thing, nor do I intend to. I simply wish to live my life in peace. DialogueMorthalFalionInitReponse2 I keep to myself. I offer spells and scrolls to those who need them, and wisdom in Conjuration magic for those who wish to learn. DialogueMorthalFalionInitReponse2 Beyond that I seek only to be left alone to pursue my research. DialogueMorthalFalionInitResponse1 The people of Morthal would much rather weave their own horrid tales about my life than simply ask me for the truth. DialogueMorthalFalionInitResponse1 If they choose to fear me in their ignorance, that is their choice. But it will not change what is true. DialogueMorthalFalionTopic1Topic As anyone will tell you, Morthal can be a dangerous place. DialogueMorthalFalionTopic1Topic My... talents... are useful here. I help maintain order, even if it goes unnoticed. DialogueMorthalFalionTopic2Topic The marsh is treacherous. You would do well to not wander at night. DialogueMorthalGormInitialBranchTopic You will not disrespect Jarl Idgrod while in this Hall. Do we have an understanding? DialogueMorthalGormInitResponse1 Then by all means, go about your business. DialogueMorthalGormInitResponse2 It's no secret that Jarl Idgrod is... different. It's also no secret that there are rumors about her and her visions. DialogueMorthalGormInitResponse2 I won't repeat them, and I won't allow them to be spread under this roof. DialogueMorthalGormInitResponse2 Now, you go about your business. DialogueMorthalGormInitResponse3 No? Then how do you like the idea of having your legs broken? DialogueMorthalGormInitResponse3 Mind your manners in this hall, friend. DialogueMorthalIdgrodTroubleBranchTopic That which is unknown can create unease, even fear. It is to be expected. DialogueMorthalIdgrodTroubleBranchTopic Some fear our new resident wizard. As they grow to know him, they will accept him. DialogueMorthalIdgrodTroubleBranchTopic Time will prove me right. DialogueMorthalIdgrodVisionsBranchTopic The Divines reveal things to me at times, yes. I do not hide this. DialogueMorthalIdgrodVisionsBranchTopic It is a gift. Anyone who believes otherwise does not and cannot understand it. DialogueMorthalIdgrodWarBranchTopic I stand where I have always stood. Here in Morthal. DialogueMorthalIdgrodWarBranchTopic Now is not the time to fight amongst ourselves. I fear dark days approach and all of Skyrim's strength will be needed. DialogueMorthalJonnaTopic1Topic Slow? No. It just ain't there at all. DialogueMorthalJonnaTopic1Topic Few enough reasons to pass through Morthal before the war started. DialogueMorthalJonnaTopic1Topic Now... Well, let's just say the front door doesn't get much use. DialogueMorthalJonnaTopic2Topic Lurbuk? DialogueMorthalJonnaTopic2Topic Fancies himself a bard. He pays, so I let him stay. DialogueMorthalJonnaTopic2Topic If I had any customers, I'd be worried about him annoying them. But, well... Look around. DialogueMorthalJorgenInitBranchTopic The world's going mad, and our Jarl does what? DialogueMorthalJorgenInitBranchTopic She hides inside with her 'visions'. We need a leader, not some mystic! DialogueMorthalJorgenInitBranchTopic The world's going mad, and our Jarl doesn't care. She's only in it for herself. DialogueMorthalJorgenInitBranchTopic If she's the best Ulfric has to offer, we might've been better off with the Imperials. DialogueMorthalJorgenInitBranchTopic How can I? DialogueMorthalJorgenInitBranchTopic She never speaks with us. She's allowed this wizard, Falion, to live in our midst practicing gods-know-what. DialogueMorthalJorgenInitBranchTopic And now there's talk of rebellion, and dragons? What help could Idgrod be against them? DialogueMorthalJorgenInitBranchTopic No, we can only rely on ourselves. You'd do well to remember that. DialogueMorthalJorgenProblemTopic Trust you saw the house that burned down. Peculiar bit of business, that was. DialogueMorthalJorgenProblemTopic And that's on top of noises from the marsh in the night, tales of monsters, and now this wizard in our midst. DialogueMorthalJorgenProblemTopic What's a man to do if he can't look to his Jarl for help? DialogueMorthalJorgenProblemTopic Bah, it's no use. Let's get back to it, then. DialogueMorthalLamiBranch1TopicTopic No, no. Well, sometimes, but that's not the problem. DialogueMorthalLamiBranch1TopicTopic I just often don't have much to do, so I tend to... I try things out. They don't usually work, but I try. DialogueMorthalLamiBranch1TopicTopic Next thing I know, I've used up most of my stock. DialogueNarzulburSharedInfos You were right about this place. And about Mauhulakh. DialogueNarzulburSharedInfos This was worth coming back for. DialogueNarzulburSharedInfos Urog is a good learner. I'm glad I have the chance to teach her. Makes me not miss the woods as much. DialogueNarzulburSharedInfos Urog and I still hunt a lot, so it's not like I'm cooped up in the longhouse. DialogueNarzulburSharedInfos By all I hold sacred... that's a Shout! Like the Graybeards on their mountain! DialogueNarzulburSharedInfos By the gods! What manner of power is that? DialogueNarzulburSharedInfos The Thu'um! He summons the Thu'um! DialogueNarzulburSharedInfos The Thu'um! She summons the Thu'um! DialogueNarzulburSharedInfos It is the power of old! The Voice of the Dragonborn! DialogueOldHroldanEydisTopicTopic That's right. In the Second Era, Tiber Septim himself led the army that conquered Old Hroldan from the barbarians of the Reach. DialogueOldHroldanEydisTopicTopic Septim would later found the Empire that united Tamriel, but his first known battle and victory was right here. DialogueOldHroldanEydisTopicTopic And this inn has the very bed the great general slept in on his first night as Old Hroldan's liberator. As good as it was hundreds of years ago. DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic Watch your tongue, stranger. We don't take backtalk in this inn. DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic Then you leave me no choice! DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic Enough of your lies! DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic I can't allow you to destroy the Skull, Priest of Mara. DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic No. I... I was scared. I wasn't ready to sleep. DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic You're a traitor. You left us to die and then ran before the Miasma took you. DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic I no longer use that name. I'm Erandur, Priest of Mara. DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic No thanks to you, Casimir. DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic Veren... Thorek... you're alive! DialogueOldHroldanSkuliTopic Wait... DialogueOrcHuntersHello1 We won't return empty handed. DialogueOrcHuntersHello2 There will be a feast in our honor when we return. DialogueOrcHuntersHello3 It will be a good day. I can feel it in my gut. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 The scent of victory is on the wind. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Aye. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 It will be so. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Shhh. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 You're right. We're not alone. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Do you feel that? DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Dibella's blessing to you. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Be careful not to fall on your way out. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I have silver to bend. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Farewell. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Come back if you need a new ring or necklace. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Stop by my stall in the market sometime. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Bye now, mister. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Bye now, miss. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Come back when you need more meat. Bring gold. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Need to get back to chopping. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Stay out of trouble in my city. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Stay clear of the Forsworn. Bloodthirsty savages. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I should get back to work. Money doesn't count itself. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Time to prepare some more records on the silver trade. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Yeah, yeah. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Get going, then. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 The blood of Markarth is silver. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I have work to do. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Yes, I was bored talking to you anyway. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Take care. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I have records I need to tend to. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 What? Oh. Bye. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Bye now, dearie. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Take care, dearie. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Come back whenever you need something. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 If you need anything else, just ask. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I better get back to sorting the dry goods. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Now where did I put that shipment of forks... DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I think I'm going to get another drink. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Bye. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Remember. Ale is cheaper than blood in Markarth. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Guards are free to search your room. Uh, just keep that in mind. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I should remind Kleppr to clean this place up. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Bye, now. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 May the crags fail to trip your feet. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Safe travels to you. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Good fighting to you. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Live a life worth telling about. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I have a prison to run. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Don't cause any trouble. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I have work to do. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Goodbye. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Now you let me know if you need a cure... or anything else. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I have herbs to mix. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I should get back to memorizing recipes. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Now, is lavender an herb or a poison? Hmm.... DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Bring more gold next time. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Tell everyone you see to bring me some septims. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 If you'll excuse me, I have a city to run. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I have letters to read. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Keep your eyes open for Forsworn when you're on the roads. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Let me know if you need something forged. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Back to making weapons. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 I should heat up the forge. Why does it have to be so hot? DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Oh, goodbye then. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 What? Oh, goodbye. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Yes, yes. I have a lot of research to do. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Back to my studies, then. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Goodbye. Be careful if you head into the ruins. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Arkay protect you. DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 How can Mercer open up a vault that needs two keys? It's impossible. Could he pick his way in? DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Stop yammering and keep your eyes peeled. They could be here at any moment. If I were them I'd come straight here, sword swingin'! DialogueOrcHuntersHello4 Can you believe one person came in here and took out this whole camp? DialogueOrcsBlacksmithTopic It is said that an Orc first learns to wield a hammer in her mother's womb. DialogueOrcsBlacksmithTopic By tradition, a mother always teaches her children how to smith. If a chief has a second wife, she is called the "Forge-wife" in honor of this. DialogueOrcsBlockingTopic What are you doing here, outlander? We don't deal with your kind. DialogueOrcsBlockingTopic This is our stronghold. Leave. DialogueOrcsBlockingTopic Outsiders. Nothing but trouble. DialogueOrcsBlockingTopic Malacath blesses us with this land. It's not for your kind. DialogueOrcsBlockingTopic This stronghold is for the Orcs. Leave. Now. DialogueOrcsBlockingTopic We don't know you, and we don't want you here. DialogueOrcsBlockingTopic Leave, outlander. DialogueOrcsBlockingTopic You've no right to be here. This place is for Orcs. And Orcs alone. DialogueOrcsBlockingTopic Outlanders should learn to not wander where they don't belong. DialogueOrcsChiefCodeofMaulochTopic The Code of Malacath. It is both tradition and law in the strongholds. Break the code, and you must pay Blood Price. DialogueOrcsChiefCodeofMaulochTopic The code is not written anywhere. It is known and carried on by the Orcs, and all who live in the strongholds follow it. DialogueOrcsChiefCodeofMaulochTopic For an outlander, following it is simple. Do not steal or attack anyone in the stronghold, or be ready to pay in gold or blood. DialogueOrcsChiefTopic Yes. I earned the right by slaying my father in single combat. DialogueOrcsChiefTopic One day, I will have a son who will challenge me when I become too old to lead, and the stronghold will have a new chief. DialogueOrcsChiefTopic Until then, I alone have the right to have wives and children. It ensures our strength. DialogueOrcsChiefTopic For your help, I'm sending word to the Orc strongholds that you're to be trusted. You should be welcome there now. DialogueOrcsChiefTopic Doesn't matter. We'll kill them either way. DialogueOrcsChiefTopic Of course I'm sure! He was asking about Esbern. DialogueOrcsChiefTopic Of course I'm sure! She was asking about Esbern. DialogueOrcsChiefTopic You're sure? DialogueOrcsChiefTopic He's in the Flagon right now. Get ready. DialogueOrcsChiefTopic She's in the Flagon right now. Get ready. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic Welcome, child of Malacath. Your kin bid you welcome to our stronghold. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic Halt, outlander. By the Code of Malacath, this stronghold belongs to the Orcs. Your kind are unwelcome. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic I promise you, I'll never let this happen again! I'll seal this whole place away... DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic I had no choice! It was the only way to make sure that monster never escaped! DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic ...I'm sorry, friends. I'm so sorry! DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic Agreed. We all stay together. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic I'll be right with you. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic We stay together, no matter what. Agreed? DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic We're not going to make it, are we? DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic This is it, you know. Through this door. Can you feel it? DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic What else could we do? Stay there and die with her? She refused to go on, we didn't have a choice! DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic We shouldn't have left her there to die! DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic Come on, you can make it. Let's go. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic Going back would be the end of all of us. We keep pushing forward, and we'll make it. We will! DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic I don't think going back is a good idea. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic You're right. This is all my fault. Should we turn around, head back? DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic This is insanity. We never should've come here. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic Dead. Something grabbed her from behind. Gone before I could do anything. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic Where's Elvali? She was right behind me. DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic Come on, we can't stop now. We have to keep moving! DialogueOrcsGuardBlockingBranchTopic Just another minute, please. DialogueOrcsGuardQuestionsLetInBranchTopic Hmm... we've heard whispers of an enchanted pair of gauntlets, hidden and protected by dangerous men, beasts, or worse. DialogueOrcsGuardQuestionsLetInBranchTopic They are called the Forgemaster's Fingers. Bring them to our chief, and he will decide if you're worthy to be Blood-Kin to the Orcs. DialogueOrcsGuardQuestionsMaulochTopic You do not remember the Daedric Lord of the Orcs? The keeper of the Sworn Oath and the Bloody Curse? DialogueOrcsGuardQuestionsMaulochTopic We live by his code and follow his teachings. Spend some time with the wise woman and you'll remember. DialogueOrcsGuardQuestionsMaulochTopic He is the Daedric Lord of the Orcs. The keeper of the Sworn Oath and the Bloody Curse. DialogueOrcsGuardQuestionsMaulochTopic We live by his code and follow his teachings. An outlander like you wouldn't understand. DialogueOrcsGuardQuestionsStrongholdTopic There are a few great strongholds worthy to talk about. Dushnikh Yal, Mor Khazgur, Narzulbur, and Largashbur. DialogueOrcsGuardTopic01 This is our stronghold. Here, we are free to live as Malacath intended, away from the prying eyes of the Nords. DialogueOrcsGuardTopic01 You must have been away from your kind for a long time to forget. Come, speak to the chief and the wise woman and remember. DialogueOrcsGuardTopic01 This is our stronghold. Here, we are free to live as Malacath intended, away from the prying eyes of the Nords. DialogueOrcsGuardTopic01 You're not an Orc, or Blood-Kin, so stay out. We only help our own. DialogueOrcsGuardTopic02 Ha. We admire your fighting spirit, Orc-Kin. You'll fit right in here. Come inside. DialogueOrcsGuardTopic02 We won't kill you, outlander, but we don't want you here. Remember that. DialogueOrcsQuestAccept We will see. DialogueOrcsQuestReject Then leave. DialogueOrcsWiseWomanMaulochTopic He is our creator and master. The Daedric Lord of the Sworn Oath and the Bloody Curse. DialogueOrcsWiseWomanMaulochTopic Malacath teaches us to honor all words with action. To demand blood from your enemies and strength from your allies. DialogueOrcsWiseWomanMaulochTopic He watches over all Orcs as his children. A truth those who leave the stronghold are quick to forget. DialogueOrcsWiseWomanPeopleTopic We have lived in Skyrim since before the Nords came. Our way is simple, all work to make the tribe strong. DialogueOrcsWiseWomanPeopleTopic Only the bravest are allowed to lead, and to marry. A great chief is able to attract many wives and raise bold children. DialogueOrcsWiseWomanPeopleTopic Wise women like myself are mothers of chieftains. We guide the tribe and advice our kin on what is most pleasing to Malacath. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You want to talk to me? After everything you've done? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Divines smile on you, friend. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos I hope the wilds claim you, one of these days. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos What do you need, my friend? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos I've had just about all I'm willing to take from you. What is it? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You and me, we're the only people around who aren't complete fools. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Now why would I want to talk to you? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Friends like you are hard to find and very valuable to me. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Something you need, you miserable wretch? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Good to see you. Finally someone useful is around. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos I don't like talking to someone who holds their honor so cheaply. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Good to have you by my side, friend. I need reliable people around. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You have something to say, dog? Something on your mind? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You're someone who can get things done. I like that. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos I should bash your face in after all you've done. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You've been a good friend to me. That means something. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos What do you want? You've caused enough trouble. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Good to see you again, friend. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You. What do you want? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Now here's a man I'm glad to see. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Now here's a woman I'm glad to see. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You! You're going to hurt me again aren't you? Just stay away. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos It's so good to see you again. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos I don't mean you any trouble. Just leave me alone. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Divines bless you. May the ground you walk quake as you pass. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Gods strike you down. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos My favorite drinking buddy. Let's get some mead. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Just looking at you makes me upset. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Good to see Skyrim still has such fine people. You give an old man hope. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You're just rotten. No good. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos I hope your parents are proud of you. They have a lot of reason to be. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Leave me alone. Can't an old man have some peace? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You're not as dumb as you look. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Here to shame an old woman? Leave me be. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Well, look at you. If only everyone acted like you did. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You. Every time I look at you my blood boils. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos It's a fine day with you around. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You're nothing but trouble. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Good day, friend! Keeping well? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Worthless. Everyone like you is completely worthless. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Good to see you. At least you know how to treat someone properly. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Every time I think of you, I imagine a Saber Cat closing its claws around your face. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos It's so good to see you again. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You're mean. I hate you. I hate you forever and ever and ever. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You're the best! Can you be my father? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos You're the best! Can you be my mother? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos I hope monsters come and eat you. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos I bet you could slay one of those mean old dragons. I bet you could do anything. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos The gods know what you've done. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos A fine day to you, friend. May you die with a sword in your hands. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos What do you want, milk drinker? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos May the gods watch over your battles, friend. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Absolutely no time to deal with lowlifes these days. Go away. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Oh, it's you. I was wondering why I was smelling something unpleasant. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos So nice to have pleasant company for a change. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos There are so few pleasures in life as fine as your company. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos There are so many delightful ways I've pictured you dead. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos We're one of the same kind, you and I. I'm glad to have met you. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Azura's wisdom to you, friend. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Filth. Run to the horizon before I hunt you down. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos What do you want? Aren't your hands coated with enough blood? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos May your next fight bring you victory, friend. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos For your crimes, may Malacath boil your blood and grind your bones. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos May your weapons be sharp and your prey fresh. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Khajiit wishes for you to go away. You have done us too much harm. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos These sands are cold, but Khajiit feels warmness from your presence. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Its scent is foul, unclean. Hurtful. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Speak. Khajiit will listen until all the sugars in the world turn sour. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos It fills us with rage. What harm does it bring to us now? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos Ours is to smile at your passing, friend. DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos It annoys us. What does it want to take from us now? DialoguePlayerRelationshipHellos It is our most favored company. DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic If you're trying to ask if I tend the hall of the dead alone, then the answer is yes. DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic You think anyone around here is going to lift a shovel to help me? Guess again. "Leave the dirty work to old Alessandra." DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic Look, I didn't ask for this job, I got stuck with it thanks to my father. DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic Oh, Faida. I may travel alone, but you know I carry you always in my heart. I'll see you soon. DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic Well, this is it, then. Look after yourself, Gaius. You're doing your duty, and I'm proud of you. But you'd better come back to me. You hear? DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic Farewell, father. I'll return as soon as I'm able. DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic Son, when the Emperor's safety is concerned, anything could go wrong. Off with you, now. And good travels. DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic I understand. But you're being paranoid. I'm inspecting security, not charging off into battle. There's not a lot that can go wrong. DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic I know you will. But all the same, remember everything I said. Stay alert, and when you get to the cities, make your observations and move on. DialogueRiftenAlessandraBranchTopic Father, you worry too much. I'll be fine. DialogueRiftenAlessandraFatherBranchTopic My father was a Priest of Arkay. All my life was spent around the dead, being forced to learn the proper burial rituals and prayers. DialogueRiftenAlessandraFatherBranchTopic I never had any friends; who'd want to spend time with "the little weird girl who hangs around dead people?" DialogueRiftenAlessandraFatherBranchTopic So I grew up with a miserable trade. This is all I know how to do... prepare and inter the deceased. DialogueRiftenAnurielBranchTopic There are those that believe the Jarl does nothing for this city... that it's corrupt and run by the Black-Briar family. DialogueRiftenAnurielBranchTopic I can assure you that this is entirely false. We are fully in control of everything. DialogueRiftenAnurielJobBranchTopic As steward, I serve as an intermediary between the Jarl and her subjects. DialogueRiftenAnurielJobBranchTopic I also handle the less important and day-to-day policies that effect daily life in Riften. DialogueRiftenAnurielJobBranchTopic Lately I've had my hands full suppressing these ridiculous accusations of corruption in the keep. DialogueRiftenAnurielJobBranchTopic I'm not certain what business it is of yours, but I'm moth... I mean Jarl Maven's steward. DialogueRiftenAnurielJobBranchTopic I run the prisons in Riften, keep the riff-raff from robbing the good folk of this city and have drunks tossed into the lake. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic I was apprenticed to Balimund before he died. He taught me everything I know about forging armor and weapons. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Balimund pulled me out of Grelod's orphanage when I was just a child. I don't know what he saw in me, but I was glad to get out of there. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic I've spent years watching his techniques and learning his tricks. Sadly, I don't think I'll ever be as talented as he was. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Nothing. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic What is that supposed to mean? DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Well someone has to provide around here. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic I'm proud of you for helping provide for us. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic We are strong. We get the job done. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic How is your hunting with Yatul? DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic It's not you I'm worried about. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Oh, if you're worried about me trying to meddle with you... DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic I think it may have to be far away from here. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Someday, you can have your own stronghold. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic I've just learned not to trust luck around here. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic They're miners. Harmless. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic You don't worry about two Orc men coming into your stronghold? That they might challenge you? DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Sir. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic You Nords and your bloody sense of honor. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Yes, sir. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic If Ulfric's making a move for Whiterun, then we need to be there to stop him. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Draft another letter with the usual platitudes, but this time share some of your intelligence regarding Ulfric's plans. Embellish if you have to. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic We'll let it seem like it's his idea. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic What about them? DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Father, I'm worried about Gadba and Mul. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic I've just never heard of a midwife losing all her mothers like that. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic They are good women. They love me. You will speak no more ill of them. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic But your aunts don't even seem to care. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic All the time. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Don't you ever wonder, father? DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Patience, boy. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Then they should send one they consider worthy. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Perhaps it's actually a sign of their love for you. They don't want to see you with unworthy mates. DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Why else have they cursed me? Killed all my wives? DialogueRiftenAsbjornBranchTopic Why do you ask me that? DialogueRiftenAsgeirBranch01Topic My father was a Stormcloak soldier in his younger days. Now he just walks the streets spewing his hatred and propaganda. DialogueRiftenAsgeirBranch01Topic My mother is the Priestess of Talos. She tends to the shrine and teaches his ways. I'm just not so sure she's delivering the right message. DialogueRiftenAsgeirBranch01Topic02 Don't mistake my political beliefs as a substitute for my family values. They're still my parents, and I love them dearly. DialogueRiftenAsgeirBranch01Topic02 I just think they've let my sister's death skew their outlook on Ulfric and what he really brings to the table with this war. DialogueRiftenAsgeirBranch01Topic02 I'm not so certain that Ulfric's intentions are as noble as they think. I think Ulfric cares about Ulfric and the rest is a smokescreen. DialogueRiftenAsgeirBranch01Topic02 I'd... appreciate if you kept my opinion between us. The last thing I want to do is have my parents "lose" another child. DialogueRiftenAsgeirBranchTopic It was my sister, Lilija. She served as a Battle Maiden with the Stormcloaks. DialogueRiftenAsgeirBranchTopic We recently heard she'd been killed... I... I find it difficult to talk about. Perhaps you'd be better off speaking to my parents about it. DialogueRiftenAsgeirBranchTopic Anyway, I'm glad my work at the Black-Briar Meadery keeps me busy. Helps me keep my mind off of things. DialogueRiftenAsgeirMeaderyBranchTopic Yes, actually. I'm partnered with Maven Black-Briar. I put up a chunk of the gold she needed to get the place off the ground. DialogueRiftenAsgeirMeaderyBranchTopic We've been staggeringly successful so far. In fact, I'm almost surprised how quickly she's generated business for us. DialogueRiftenAsgeirMeaderyBranchTopic My name may not be on the label, but some of my blood, sweat and tears are in every drop. Uh, figuratively of course. DialogueRiftenBalimundBranchTopic People say I'm making gold off of other people's misery, but what else would I do? Smithing is all I know. DialogueRiftenBalimundBranchTopic Next time one of my shields deflects a killing blow, they'll change their tune. DialogueRiftenBersiBranch00Topic Catchy, isn't it? DialogueRiftenBersiBranch00Topic In my youth I was a fisherman... I had a beautiful ship named "The Brawny Prawn." But the years have a way of creeping up on you. DialogueRiftenBersiBranch00Topic I ended up selling that ship to open this place. Seemed only fitting to name it after her. Well, changed it a bit I suppose. DialogueRiftenBersiBranch00Topic If I had been smarter, I would have kept my boat. Coming to this city was a big mistake. DialogueRiftenBersiBranch01Topic Authorities? Have you been listening to what I said? They're all dirty. Every one of them. DialogueRiftenBersiBranch01Topic The only way to get things done in this city is to keep your head down and pay off the right people. DialogueRiftenBersiBranchTopic The question is, what isn't wrong with Riften. DialogueRiftenBersiBranchTopic This city is corrupt. Rotten to the core. No one cares about anything except themselves and how much coin they can make off the misery of others. DialogueRiftenBersiBranchTopic Gods.... You two head inside and get some rest. I'll send word to the Jarl. DialogueRiftenBersiBranchTopic Troll's blood, what happened to you Pavo? DialogueRiftenBersiBranchTopic The Forsworn have taken Kolskeggr Mine. We're the only ones left. DialogueRiftenBersiBranchTopic Rip the eyes from her head! DialogueRiftenBersiBranchTopic Rip the eyes from his head! DialogueRiftenBersiBranchTopic Don't applaud yourself too soon, worm! DialogueRiftenBersiBranchTopic You've come far, mortal, but can you stand against my inner council? Let's see! DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic The Black-Briars have been instrumental in keeping Riften on the map. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic Before the meadery was opened almost fifty years ago, this town was nothing... a simple waypoint for those journeying on to Morrowind. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic Now, thanks to my mother's generosity, this city is making its mark. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic When speaking of the Black-Briars, only one thought should spring to mind. We are not to be trifled with. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic Help us, you end up rich. Cross us and you'll end up a memory. Is that enough information for you? DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic Hmph. My family. All that wealth and they squander it on foolish ventures and political schemes. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic I was meant for so much more than all of this... I wish to pledge my life and ply my talents in darker circles. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic If only my mother would let me, I would make her proud. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic Maven Black-Briar is the owner of the largest and most profitable business in all Skyrim, the Black-Briar Meadery. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic We're pleased to have her in Riften. She brings stability, opportunities for employment and strategic value to our city. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic Maven Black-Briar, the matriarch of the family, represents everything that's wrong with this city. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic She's bribed countless officials, has friends back in the Imperial City and freely associates with the Thieves Guild. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic I've tried everything I can to protect Riften's citizens from her family, but to no avail. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 Well, there's Ingun Black-Briar, Maven's daughter. Strange girl. She likes to spend time down in Elgrim's Elixirs working on her alchemy. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 Then you have Hemming, Maven's son; spoiled brat and heir to her empire. He follows her word like a loyal dog follows its master. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 And finally, Sibbi; the worst of all of them. He's in Riften Jail for murder. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 Very well. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 Of course he wasn't you stupid whore; he's a man. Now I'm not going to warn you again. Is that clear? DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 He wasn't protesting, Maven. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 Haelga, I like you, so I'm only going to say this one time. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 If you ever try and "practice the Dibellan arts" with Hemming again, I'll make sure that pretty little face loses its beauty. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 Sigh. DialogueRiftenBlackBriarBranchTopic01 Good, that must be very comfortable for you. I think mine's a bit too small. Perhaps we could trade? DialogueRiftenBolliBranchTopic Yes, I suppose someone has to be around here. Have you seen the condition of this sorry excuse for a city? DialogueRiftenBolliBranchTopic Beggars roam the streets, crime runs rampant and the threat of war is driving away business. DialogueRiftenBolliBranchTopic The paltry amount of coin that I place in the charity box at the temple is the least I can do to help. DialogueRiftenBolliFisheryBranchTopic Only the best in all of Riften! I own Riften Fishery. DialogueRiftenBolliFisheryBranchTopic Started out with a single fishing pole and now I have an entire building and two boats to my name. Not bad for a middle-aged Nord, eh? DialogueRiftenBolliFisheryBranchTopic Too bad I haven't had the same success helping this city shed its poverty. Nivenor thinks I'm wasting my time trying, but I disagree. DialogueRiftenBolliNivenorBranchTopic Nivenor is my wife. How I was ever able to meet such a gorgeous creature is one of life's mysteries. DialogueRiftenBolliNivenorBranchTopic We're... at odds about my charity. She thinks the people in this town have become lazy and expecting a handout. DialogueRiftenBolliNivenorBranchTopic I try to include her in my lessons from Maramal over at the Temple of Mara, but she prefers to shop instead. Different strokes, eh? DialogueRiftenBrandSheiBranchTopic I may be dark elf by birth, but I was raised Argonian. DialogueRiftenBrandSheiBranchTopic Through reasons I'm still trying to discover, I ended up orphaned then taken in by a kindly Argonian family in Black Marsh. DialogueRiftenBrandSheiBranchTopic I hope one day to find out what happened to me... how I ended up like that. DialogueRiftenDinyaMaraBranchTopic Mara is the handmaiden of Kyne, the Goddess of the Storm and the Mother of Men. DialogueRiftenDinyaMaraBranchTopic She is the bearer of love and the patron of marriage. DialogueRiftenDinyaMaraBranchTopic If you wish to make a donation to her Benevolence, speak to Maramal and ensure your true love will endure for all eternity. DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic They call me Dirge, 'cause I'm the last thing you hear before they put you in the ground. DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic Why? You think it's funny or something? DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic What, you still think it's funny? DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic I already told you. They call me Dirge, 'cause I'm the last thing you hear before they put you in the ground. DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic01 Oh yeah? I think so too. You're pretty smart. DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic01 Hey, here. Have one on the house. DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic01 Good. Now shut up and get out of my face. DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic02 No, no. Sorry if I sounded so mean there. My brother always said I have a big mouth. DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic02 Here, have one on me. DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic02 Yeah, my problem is I'm too tired to punch your face in. DialogueRiftenDirgeBranchTopic03 Already did. DialogueRiftenDirgeMaulBranchTopic Maul? Yeah. That jerk works for Maven Black-Briar now. Left me down here watching this garbage heap. DialogueRiftenDirgeMaulBranchTopic I guess he's better at all that talking stuff anyway. I'd just mess everything up. DialogueRiftenElgrimBranchTopic The moisture in the air is better for the ingredients. It isn't every day that you get your hands on fresh nirnroot or painted troll fat. DialogueRiftenElgrimBranchTopic It also makes it easier to gather water when the canal is right out the front door. DialogueRiftenElgrimBranchTopic Besides, I also prefer the quiet. I didn't open this business for browsing. Come in, buy what you need and get out. DialogueRiftenElgrimIngunBranchTopic Hardly! In fact, I don't know how I get anything done with all of the distractions I have to put up with. DialogueRiftenElgrimIngunBranchTopic My wife Hafjorg, well, she's a necessary evil I suppose. Not a lick of talent when it comes to alchemy, but she keeps me fed. DialogueRiftenElgrimIngunBranchTopic Then there's Ingun Black-Briar. Bright young thing and a worthy apprentice, when she isn't wasting my rare ingredients. DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic Go away. Go away. Go away! DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic It's hopeless. He told me. He's right, you know. DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic Their fires lit up the night. All across Lake Rumare, like stars come to earth. It was beautiful, really. DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic Ah... so tender. Come here, you juicy morsel! DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic They were golden, even when they were dead. But their blood was red. I knew it would be. DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic You don't think there's any hope, do you? I don't. He's right. DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic He explained it all to me. Before, when I still understood. I don't remember, but I still know. DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic He'll tell you. Just ask. You don't even need to ask. He'll tell you anyway. DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic I finally understand what it all means. What it was all for. The killing. And the dying. DialogueRiftenEsbernsVaultBlockingTopic I had a medal. It had someone's face on it. I threw it away, after. It didn't help. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsGoodbyes Welcome to Riften. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsGoodbyes You want in, you need to cooperate. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsHellos Well? In you go. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsShared01 Hold and stand down. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsShared01 If you want to get into Riften, use the North Gate. This one's closed. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsShared02 My orders are to tell the riff-raff to use the North Gate, that's it. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsShared03 No. You can use the North Gate, or you can head to the next city. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsShared04 Keep it. Not worth going to prison over. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsShared05 That's a quick way to the executioner's block. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsSharedGoodbye It's a long way to the next city if you change your mind. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsSharedHello01 That's far enough. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsSharedHello02 If you want to enter Riften, use the North Gate. Otherwise, we have nothing to talk about. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsSharedHello03 There's nothing else to discuss. Use the North Gate if you want to enter Riften. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsSharedHello04 You can use the North Gate to enter the city, or you can hit the road. Your choice. DialogueRiftenGateGuardsSharedWalkaway That's the North Gate in case you forget. DialogueRiftenGateNonNorthBranchTopic Um, I don't know, why? DialogueRiftenGateNonNorthBranchTopic Three guards run into a bar, but the fourth one just ducks. Why? DialogueRiftenGateNonNorthBranchTopic Fine, go ahead. DialogueRiftenGateNonNorthBranchTopic Okay, got another one for you. DialogueRiftenGateNonNorthBranchTopic I'm sorry lass, I... I can't... DialogueRiftenGateNonNorthBranchTopic Fight it, Brynjolf... he's taken control of you! DialogueRiftenGateNonNorthBranchTopic Damn you, Mercer! DialogueRiftenGateNonNorthBranchTopic What's... what's happening... I can't stop myself. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic Hold there. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic Before I let you into Riften, you need to pay the visitor's tax. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic Have you decided to pay the visitor's tax? DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic01 For the privilege of entering the city. What does it matter? DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic04 It's been a pleasure doing business with you. Let me open the gate and you can head into the city. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic04 Nope. Not even close. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic05 All right, keep your voice down... you want everyone to hear you? I'll let you in, just let me unlock the gate. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic05 Call it what you want. You don't pay, then you're not getting in. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 All right, calm down, no need to for that. I'll let you in right away, just need to get the gate unlocked. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 I think you'd be a little smarter than that. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 Like anyone would even notice, in all this mess. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 Don't sound so disappointed. You wouldn't be allowed to take it even if there was. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 There's no gold, nothing shiny at all. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this isn't it. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 I just don't know that it's right for us to be in here like this, picking through the ruins . DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 You seem uncomfortable being here. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 That doesn't begin to describe it. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 This is a little creepy. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 I think, given the state of Skyrim, some might disagree. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 Oh, right. That whole thing with the elves. Well, it all worked out in the end, didn't it? DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 Not excited, no. Some very bad things happened here. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 Are you excited to see what's in there? This is important to you Nords, isn't it? DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 Don't get any ideas. We're here on official business, remember? DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 I'm betting bodies. Lots and lots of bodies. And maybe some valuables... DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 It's thousands of years old. Who knows what we might find? DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 What do you think we'll find in there? DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 Why in the world would this be sealed off? What is this place? DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 Well, this is highly unusual. And very interesting. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 This is an exciting opportunity for us. To be able to study such an early civilization, and the magics they used... DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 Sacked by the elves in the infamous "Night of Tears," not much is known about what happened to Saarthal. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopic06 As some of you may know, Saarthal was one of the earliest Nord settlements in Skyrim. It was also the largest. DialogueRiftenGateNorthBranchTopicWalkaway Don't want in, huh? Fine. Have a good walk to the next city. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes If there's nothing else, I really must ask you to leave. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes I really appreciate what you've done for me. I'll never forget it. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Anything you can find would be of great help. Good luck. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Keep your eyes to the road. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Thanks again for the ice wraith teeth. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Be careful looking for those teeth... those little bastards are dangerous. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Keep your belly full and your shoulders strong. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Come back when you're ready to spend more gold... goodness knows I could use it. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Safe travels, landstrider. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Good journey, marsh-friend. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Return anytime. You're quite welcome here. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Remember, nothing but genuine fire salts will do... the forge knows the difference. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes If you need any more smithing work, come see me again. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Thanks for your business. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes It was nice to meet you. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Be careful out there... Riften can be dangerous. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Door's over there. Why don't you use it? DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Come back and see us again. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Just get out of here. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes If you'll excuse me, I have other things to attend to. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Imperial bastard. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Farewell, kinsman. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Support Ulfric or die trying. There's nothing in between. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Talos preserve you. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Talos guide you. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Farewell. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes It's been good talking to you. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Good, now maybe I can get back to work. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Well, that was important. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Come back and see us again! DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Travel safe. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Remember to give at the temple. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Excuse me. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes When I find that bitch, I'm going to wring her little neck. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Visit me anytime. I'm not going anywhere soon. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes I believe we're done. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Out of my way. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Don't forget to check your supply chest from time to time. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes My experiments can't be completed until you've brought me those ingredients. Do hurry. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Now was it two parts giant lichen or three? Hm... DialogueRiftenGoodbyes You'd do well to remember who's really in charge around here. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes You'd do well to remember who's in charge around here. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes May you return to Her Benevolence in safety. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes You represent Mara now. Set an example for all. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Good journey, my child! DialogueRiftenGoodbyes I don't know why I bother. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Try and get those marks without violence please. I don't want to be responsible for their deaths... or yours. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Sure, leave. Not like you care anyway. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Remain vigilant and don't trust anyone. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes You've been kind, I thank you. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Any healing potion will do. Please hurry. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes What am I going to do? DialogueRiftenGoodbyes A Dreth never forgets a friend. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Remember, keep this to yourself. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Please, come back and speak to me anytime. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Be cautious, the pilgrimage to the Shrine is not an easy one. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes I'd ask you maintain civility while you're here. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Good journey to you. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes You're welcome in Riften as long as you continue to obey our laws. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes I'm keeping my eye on you. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes I have to remember... ward first, then summon. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Okay, now where did I put those spiders? DialogueRiftenGoodbyes I see I still have much to learn. Lead on. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Please be careful, I don't wish to be the reason for your death. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Just stay away from me and I'll forget we had this discussion. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Safe travels. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Watch yourself around here, it isn't safe. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Yes, yes... goodbye. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes You didn't need to leave so soon. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Give Vex a kiss for me. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Be careful, the road to Shor's Stone could be dangerous. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Don't forget us if you need supplies for your journey. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Hurry up with it, we've got a merchant in the pit to take care of after we carve this thing up. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Gotta have a sharp axe to cut through all that fat... DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Let's move out. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Yeah! DialogueRiftenGoodbyes We're so dead... DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Yeah! DialogueRiftenGoodbyes We're with you! DialogueRiftenGoodbyes No! DialogueRiftenGoodbyes No, Housecarl! DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Shut up. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes Now we're in for it. DialogueRiftenGoodbyes What? DialogueRiftenGoodbyes A dragon? DialogueRiftenGrelkaBranchTopic Look, I've moved all over Skyrim selling these bits of junk and I'm barely scraping by. DialogueRiftenGrelkaBranchTopic I'm not out to win friends and I could care less if you're happy about your purchase or not. I just need the coin. DialogueRiftenGrelkaBranchTopic The sooner I get out of Skyrim the better. DialogueRiftenGrelkaLeaveBranchTopic Are you serious? The war is tearing the land apart, the dragons have returned seeking who knows what... Skyrim is going nowhere fast. DialogueRiftenGrelkaLeaveBranchTopic If I were you, I'd pack up and get out of here before you end up in one of those burial cairns. DialogueRiftenHaelgaBranch01Topic Of course not. You expect me to take care of it by myself? DialogueRiftenHaelgaBranch01Topic My niece Svana helps me with the chores. She'd be more help if she kept her head out of the clouds. DialogueRiftenHaelgaBranch01Topic She's been with me ever since her parents were killed by bandits and she was dropped in my lap. DialogueRiftenHaelgaBranchTopic This heap of matchsticks is what everyone calls Haelga's Bunkhouse. Can you stay here? No. DialogueRiftenHaelgaBranchTopic The Bunkhouse is for the working man, not some sort of a luxury inn for tourists. DialogueRiftenHafjorgBranchTopic When Elgrim said we were setting up shop down here, I told him he would catch his death. DialogueRiftenHafjorgBranchTopic The dirt, the moisture... it's disgusting. Who wants to spend their life living like a skeever? DialogueRiftenHafjorgBranchTopic But that old bellyacher just fed me some nonsense about light ruining his mixtures and being close to the water... agh. DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic I know how to mix a few basic potions, but I'm nowhere near as skilled as a master alchemist. DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic I've picked up a few tricks by reading the tomes scattered all over the shop, but I don't have the knack to pull half of the formulas off. DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01 Oh! No, I didn't mean it that way. Elgrim can barely put his on his own shoes let alone have the energy to pursue a young girl. DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01 He's been gushing about how talented Ingun is at alchemy. He'd never say it to her face; that's not his way. DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01 I just think Elgrim's taken it upon himself to mentor the young thing so he focuses a lot of attention on her. DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01a I wish Elgrim had spent more time tutoring me then that Ingun girl. DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01a Your skin's as pale as the snow. You scared of sunlight, or something? DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01a Don't like those eyes you got. There's a bad hunger to them. DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01a Vampire! Burn it! DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01a Vampire! To arms! DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01a Burn it! Burn the vampire! DialogueRiftenHafjorgIngunBranchTopic01a Vampire! DialogueRiftenHarraldBranchTopic Every day the threat of exile from Riften draws closer for myself and my family. DialogueRiftenHarraldBranchTopic Who knows how many spies the Empire has sent into our midst already. We're at war. This isn't the time for hospitality. DialogueRiftenHarraldBranchTopic Thank goodness mother is keeping a level head about everything. If my brother Saerlund had his way, we'd be flying Imperial colors by now. DialogueRiftenHarraldBranchTopic I know it looks bad, but we've got to figure out what happened. And if that dragon is still skulking around somewhere. DialogueRiftenHarraldBrotherBranchTopic Can you believe that fool had the audacity to speak of his love for the Empire in the plaza? DialogueRiftenHarraldBrotherBranchTopic He expects us to drop our defenses and greet them with open arms... to dialogue with them rather than defend our homeland by spilling their blood. DialogueRiftenHarraldBrotherBranchTopic He's a traitor, plain and simple. Had I been sitting on the throne, he'd be hanging from the gallows for his sympathies towards the Empire. DialogueRiftenHellos Welcome back to the temple, messenger. DialogueRiftenHellos Blessings of Mara upon you! DialogueRiftenHellos How may I help you, my son? DialogueRiftenHellos How may I help you, my daughter? DialogueRiftenHellos Lady Mara's messenger returns. What can I help you with, my child? DialogueRiftenHellos Has the Warmth of Mara been given to Riften? DialogueRiftenHellos Lady Mara bids you welcome to Her Benevolence. DialogueRiftenHellos What is it you seek, my child? DialogueRiftenHellos Visiting Riften? All are welcome at the Temple of Mara. DialogueRiftenHellos Please to meet you, I'm a priestess at the Temple of Mara. DialogueRiftenHellos Thanks again for the delivery to Markarth. What can I do for you? DialogueRiftenHellos Did you get that purchase agreement to Markarth yet? DialogueRiftenHellos New in town, eh? Here for the fishing I'd guess. DialogueRiftenHellos There's nothing like fishing on Lake Honrich, you should try it sometime. DialogueRiftenHellos If you're hungry, Marise sells fresh fish... caught by yours truly. DialogueRiftenHellos If you're looking for a handout, you're not going to get one from me. DialogueRiftenHellos Can you believe my former husband used to give most of our gold to the poor? DialogueRiftenHellos If you're looking for a handout, you'll want to speak with my husband. DialogueRiftenHellos If you're looking for a handout, you'll want to speak with my husband. If you're looking for company, I suppose I could do worse. DialogueRiftenHellos Bolli's around somewhere, planning to feed the poor with his nonsense about Mara. DialogueRiftenHellos With my husband's new found religion, what I do with our coin and what I do all day seem less important to him. Suits me. DialogueRiftenHellos At this rate, he'll give the entire Riften Fishery away to charity. Then how will I live? DialogueRiftenHellos Such a waste of time preaching to the poor. If they're that hungry, they should just grow some food or something. DialogueRiftenHellos I spend every Friday at the fishery, so I know the meaning of hard work. All those forms to fill out and file; it's exhausting! DialogueRiftenHellos Mark my words. If Bolli thinks he's giving all of our wealth away to some poor slob, I'll leave him high and dry. DialogueRiftenHellos I'm feeling much better thanks to your efforts. DialogueRiftenHellos The pilgrimage is complete, I can feel it. DialogueRiftenHellos Anything else before you make the journey? DialogueRiftenHellos Come to laugh at the grave tender? DialogueRiftenHellos I can see that disapproving look in your eye. DialogueRiftenHellos Oh, it's you. Come to extort more from me? DialogueRiftenHellos New around Riften? Take my advice. Stay at the Bee and Barb... the Bunkhouse isn't for you. DialogueRiftenHellos If you're looking for a bed, this is the wrong place. DialogueRiftenHellos You looking for something or what? DialogueRiftenHellos Hey! Good to see you again. DialogueRiftenHellos Any luck getting the marks from those men? DialogueRiftenHellos Sorry about the mess. Keeping this place clean is quite a chore. DialogueRiftenHellos I'd appreciate it if you'd keep your hands to yourself. DialogueRiftenHellos The Bunkhouse isn't an inn. I'd recommend the Bee and Barb. DialogueRiftenHellos Who did this to me? DialogueRiftenHellos This city is corrupt! You're all corrupt! DialogueRiftenHellos This is unfair! I'm innocent! DialogueRiftenHellos Can I interest you in some fine goods from Morrowind? DialogueRiftenHellos Have anything you wish to sell? I pay fair prices for all sorts of goods. DialogueRiftenHellos If there's anything you wish to purchase, just let me know. DialogueRiftenHellos If you're ever in the market, I deal in specialty goods from Morrowind at one of the stands. DialogueRiftenHellos Working at the Riften Fishery is tough, but it puts some coin in my pocket. DialogueRiftenHellos I'm beginning to think leaving Mournhold was a mistake. DialogueRiftenHellos If Riften is the best Skyrim has to offer, I may as well turn back right now and just head for home. DialogueRiftenHellos Welcome to Riften, traveler. I hope the road fared well for you. DialogueRiftenHellos What can I do for you? DialogueRiftenHellos Speak, I wish to hear everything my subjects have to say. DialogueRiftenHellos I feel so helpless out here. The people of Riften depended on me, and I failed them. DialogueRiftenHellos Unmid and Anuriel shouldn't blame themselves for Riften's fall, I am the one who's ultimately responsible. DialogueRiftenHellos If Riften can be retaken, I will redouble my efforts to ensure the safety of my subjects and the defense of the Rift. DialogueRiftenHellos Out of my way. The son of the Jarl has no time for idle conversation with travelers. DialogueRiftenHellos If this isn't about official city business, you're wasting my time. DialogueRiftenHellos I presume you have something important to say? DialogueRiftenHellos Come to gloat, have we? To poke fun at the jarl's youngest son? DialogueRiftenHellos I can feel you laughing behind my back. DialogueRiftenHellos Did Harrald send you to taunt me? DialogueRiftenHellos Welcome to Mistveil Keep. I'm Jarl Laila's steward, Anuriel. DialogueRiftenHellos As Riften's Steward I'm afraid I can provide only limited assistance, but speak your mind. DialogueRiftenHellos If you're here to report any instances of corruption, be confident that we're handling these rumors accordingly. DialogueRiftenHellos I'm afraid my days as the steward of Riften has come to an end. DialogueRiftenHellos The Imperials now control Riften and have placed Maven Black-Briar on the Jarl's throne. DialogueRiftenHellos Perhaps the Stormcloaks might rally to take back Riften one day. Only time will tell. DialogueRiftenHellos As Jarl Laila's housecarl, I would ask that you maintain a respectable distance from her at all times. DialogueRiftenHellos Did you have some sort of official business here? DialogueRiftenHellos I'd request that when speaking to Jarl Laila, you show the proper respect. DialogueRiftenHellos Being in exile is the most humiliating thing I've experienced in my life. DialogueRiftenHellos I killed scores of the Empire's men before I was forced to surrender. DialogueRiftenHellos The only reason I stopped fighting was a plea from Laila, otherwise I'd would have fought to the death. DialogueRiftenHellos I know you. Where was it? Hm. Oh! You were getting something for me? DialogueRiftenHellos Did we have an appointment? No... it was a delivery? I can't remember. DialogueRiftenHellos Excuse my disorganization, but I'm in the middle of some delicate experiments. DialogueRiftenHellos Come to see Balimund perform miracles with steel, eh? DialogueRiftenHellos What brings you to Balimund today? Repair? Purchase? DialogueRiftenHellos Nothing like the smell of a white-hot blade, eh? DialogueRiftenHellos Looking for some armor? A weapon perhaps? DialogueRiftenHellos Here to purchase some armor or a weapon? DialogueRiftenHellos How can I help you today? DialogueRiftenHellos Have you met Balimund? I'm his apprentice. He's teaching me all about being a blacksmith. DialogueRiftenHellos I used to live at the orphanage here in Riften. Grelod said my ma and da left me there when I was a baby... that they didn't want me. DialogueRiftenHellos Balimund took me in and has been so kind to me. I don't know why, but he thinks I can be a great blacksmith like him. DialogueRiftenHellos At first I don't know why he picked me. I never even held a hammer in my life! But the first time I picked it up, it just felt right! DialogueRiftenHellos Folks in town say that Balimund is the greatest blacksmith in all of Tamriel. I hope I can live up to that some day and make him proud of me. DialogueRiftenHellos Welcome back! Good to see you again. DialogueRiftenHellos Ah, you're back. What have you discovered? DialogueRiftenHellos Oh, it's you. Not here to rob me are you? DialogueRiftenHellos Well met, friend. How can I help you? DialogueRiftenHellos You're a stranger here too, eh? DialogueRiftenHellos Visitors like us are rare in this part of Skyrim. DialogueRiftenHellos I've never seen Mjoll this upset about anything. The city really gets to her. DialogueRiftenHellos Mjoll told me that it isn't this bad everywhere. Maybe one day I'll venture out and see if she's right. DialogueRiftenHellos Mjoll's brought me nothing but safety and piece of mind... and some lessons with the blade. DialogueRiftenHellos I hope that someday this city will be free from corruption and we can all live in peace. DialogueRiftenHellos You here for lessons like Ingun? Or did you wish to buy something? DialogueRiftenHellos Do you have any idea how busy I am? My mixture could be burning as we speak! DialogueRiftenHellos Take a look at my supplies if you must, but do hurry... I'm not getting any younger you know! DialogueRiftenHellos Thanks again for delivering that ore sample. DialogueRiftenHellos Have you managed to make it out to Shor's Stone? DialogueRiftenHellos This place has seen better days, but it's not my fault. DialogueRiftenHellos Where's my head? I never even greeted you properly. DialogueRiftenHellos I apologize in advance for my husband's crankiness; I promise you he means well. DialogueRiftenHellos Please, please. I need but a septim. A septim is all I ask. Is that so bad? DialogueRiftenHellos I can't take this place anymore. The trees... all the colors, but the city, so dark. Why? It makes no sense. DialogueRiftenHellos So cold, so hungry, so tired. DialogueRiftenHellos No one cares about us! No one! We could die and no one would ever even know! They'd just throw our corpses in the canal! DialogueRiftenHellos Are you scared of death? I am. I hear everything just stops... forever. It just all goes away, but you don't realize it. I don't want to die. DialogueRiftenHellos Sure, sure. I'm a dirty beggar... why would you want to even speak to me. DialogueRiftenHellos To Oblivion with all of you! You rich piles of dung walking by us like we're not there! Pretending we don't exist! How dare you! DialogueRiftenHellos You think you know pain? Do you!? Try watching your wife and daughter burn alive after they've been ravaged by brigands! That's pain, my friend. DialogueRiftenHellos Edda... she's crazy as a loon, but at least she doesn't have the mind to realize what a horrible world this is. She's the lucky one. DialogueRiftenHellos Just leave Riften. Go far, far away and never return. This place is nothing but a rotten, stinking corpse that's sat in the sun far too long. DialogueRiftenHellos Greetings, honored friend. Could I interest you in some fine jewelry? DialogueRiftenHellos If anything pleases the eye, don't hesitate to make me an offer. DialogueRiftenHellos If you have any jewelry to sell, I'd be glad to pay you a fair sum in gold for it. DialogueRiftenHellos Come see me in the market if you're looking for the finest custom jewelry in all of Skyrim. DialogueRiftenHellos So, you're Brynjolf's new protege, eh? Don't look like much to me. DialogueRiftenHellos It's one thing to say you've got the skills to be a thief. It's another to actually use them. DialogueRiftenHellos It's been a long time since anyone joined us. Seems like people are in a rush to leave. DialogueRiftenHellos I hear even the simple jobs are becoming difficult. It never used to be like this. DialogueRiftenHellos Less coin in everyone's pocket means less coin in mine. DialogueRiftenHellos Something has to change soon or I may as well pack this place up and leave it for the skeevers. DialogueRiftenHellos You better have coin to pay for your drinks. There's no handouts here. DialogueRiftenHellos Got a lot of nerve coming down here. People tend to get hurt in the Ratway. DialogueRiftenHellos I wouldn't stay here long if I were you. DialogueRiftenHellos There's a reason the city guard doesn't come down here you know. DialogueRiftenHellos Don't make trouble or else I'll ask Dirge to "walk" you out. DialogueRiftenHellos Even if you're one of us, you better not make trouble. DialogueRiftenHellos I don't care if you're best buddies with the Guild Master. I'll still smash in your skull if you try anything. DialogueRiftenHellos The last person that made trouble for Vekel ended up floating in the canal... catch my drift? DialogueRiftenHellos Stay outta trouble, or there's gonna be trouble. DialogueRiftenHellos Last person who made trouble for Vekel ended up with a smashed head. DialogueRiftenHellos Vekel doesn't like strangers snooping around the Flagon. DialogueRiftenHellos There's two things to do at the Flagon: spend coin and then get out. DialogueRiftenHellos If it isn't the best brawler in Skyrim. Good to see you again! DialogueRiftenHellos You up for another wager? DialogueRiftenHellos Back, eh? Ready to brawl? DialogueRiftenHellos Too lazy to walk, eh? Well, you've found the right place. DialogueRiftenHellos Got horses that need shoeing, so make it quick. DialogueRiftenHellos If it's horses you want, you're talking to the right person. DialogueRiftenHellos If it's horses you want, I'm not sure I can help you. I have too much on my mind as it is. DialogueRiftenHellos If it's horses you want, you'll want to speak to Hofgrir at the stables. DialogueRiftenHellos If it's horses you want, you'll want to speak to Hofgrir. I'm afraid I'm in too much trouble to help you. DialogueRiftenHellos Hofgrir is a great teacher. I've learned so much about horses from him. DialogueRiftenHellos Horses are all I know. I've been riding since I could walk. DialogueRiftenHellos If the forest wasn't so dangerous, I'd spend every spare moment riding. DialogueRiftenHellos When Aventus escaped, Grelod got meaner than ever. I really thought she was going to kill one of us. Guess not! DialogueRiftenHellos Please, mister. You got to get me out of here. Ever since Aventus left, Grelod's been even meaner than usual. I swear, she's going to kill one of us. DialogueRiftenHellos Please, lady. You got to get me out of here. Ever since Aventus left, Grelod's been even meaner than usual. I swear, she's going to kill one of us. DialogueRiftenHellos I used to hate it here, but it's not so bad anymore. Constance is real good to us. DialogueRiftenHellos It's too bad the orphanage ain't letting us kids get adopted. I'd be the best son ever. DialogueRiftenHellos I was named after the sound a lion makes. You know: rrroooaaaarr! Really. DialogueRiftenHellos I can't believe it! Grelod is dead! She's really dead! DialogueRiftenHellos I do hope mummy and father come to get me soon. Ever since that Aventus boy left, Grelod has been so angry. DialogueRiftenHellos I do hope mummy and father come to get me soon. Ever since that Aventus boy left, this place has gone mad. DialogueRiftenHellos My parents dropped me off here a year ago. But they're coming back to get me. They said so. DialogueRiftenHellos You look kind of scary. But nobody is scarier than old Grelod. DialogueRiftenHellos Constance Michel says we have to be careful of people we don't know. DialogueRiftenHellos I'm really afraid of Grelod. When Aventus escaped, she was so mad. I got double the beatings that day. DialogueRiftenHellos Kill one person, and you can solve so many problems. I wonder at the possibilities. DialogueRiftenHellos When Aventus escaped, Grelod was so mad. I got double the beatings that day. But that won't happen ever again. DialogueRiftenHellos I hate it here. Grelod the Kind is the meanest person in all of Skyrim. DialogueRiftenHellos Things are much better now that Grelod is dead, but still. I'm sick of this place. DialogueRiftenHellos I'm strong, and quick, and can do any chore you want. Come on, adopt me. Please? DialogueRiftenHellos When Aventus took off, when he said those things, about killing Grelod... I never imagined he was serious... DialogueRiftenHellos Come to get yourself a kid? You're out of luck. No way Grelod will let any of us get adopted. Especially not since Aventus took off. DialogueRiftenHellos Grelod ain't going to like some stranger just hangin' around. Not that I care. DialogueRiftenHellos Constance don't care much for strangers in the orphanage. Afraid someone might hurt one of us kids. Which, I gotta admit, is kind of nice. DialogueRiftenHellos Why's someone like you want to hang around a place like this? DialogueRiftenHellos Grelod... murdered. Here. I... I need... air... You... you... Get out of here! Get out! DialogueRiftenHellos I can't believe Grelod is dead. I had no love for the woman, but to be murdered, in cold blood... DialogueRiftenHellos You really shouldn't be in here. DialogueRiftenHellos I'm sorry, but the children aren't up for adoption right now. You should go. DialogueRiftenHellos My only concern is for the children. The poor darlings have no one else. DialogueRiftenHellos Welcome to the cozy little family. I'm one of the lookouts for the Guild. I watch Delvin's back. DialogueRiftenHellos If you're looking for extra work, talk to Vex or Delvin. They'll fix you up. DialogueRiftenHellos Stick to the rules and you'll end up rich. Break them and you're out on your arse. Simple, right? DialogueRiftenHellos If you're looking for conversation, The Flagon isn't the place. DialogueRiftenHellos Vekel and me, we have a thing going. So I recommend you keep your hands off the merchandise. DialogueRiftenHellos Vekel and me, we have a thing going. Try anything with him and it'd be bad for your health. DialogueRiftenHellos You don't impress me. So don't even try. DialogueRiftenHellos You going to buy something or just here for training? Otherwise, move on. DialogueRiftenHellos You gonna stare all day or buy some armor? DialogueRiftenHellos Come on, come on. The sooner you buy, the sooner I can get drunk. DialogueRiftenHellos Can't you bother me at my armor stand in the market? Or are you that desperate for training? DialogueRiftenHellos My food is the best in all of Skyrim; always as fresh as the day it was collected. DialogueRiftenHellos Some fresh meat to fill your belly perhaps? DialogueRiftenHellos The only way to find fresher meats is to hunt it yourself. DialogueRiftenHellos I run the meat and produce stand at the market. Come by and see me if you want some of the freshest food you've ever eaten. DialogueRiftenHellos I'm feeling much better now thanks to you. DialogueRiftenHellos Did you bring anything? The pain... DialogueRiftenHellos Please help me, I'm going to lose my job at the Riften Fishery. DialogueRiftenHellos I really need your help! I don't want to lose my job at the fishery! What am I going to do? DialogueRiftenHellos Oh, my aching head. Why do I do this to myself? DialogueRiftenHellos You have no idea what it's like to have everything, then watch it all disappear. DialogueRiftenHellos Let me out of here, damn it! I'm not a criminal! DialogueRiftenHellos This is what happens to you when you speak your mind in this city. DialogueRiftenHellos They threw me in here because I called Ulfric a liar; a deceiver. DialogueRiftenHellos Ulfric doesn't care about Talos. He yearns for the throne of Skyrim and he'll say anything to rally people to his side. DialogueRiftenHellos But now, because of Ulfric's greed, countless lives have been lost. DialogueRiftenHellos On second thought, maybe I'm better off in here. At least I'll die with a clear conscience. DialogueRiftenHellos Brynjolf sent you to rub it in? DialogueRiftenHellos Waste of talent throwing me in here, right? DialogueRiftenHellos Can't wait to get out of here. DialogueRiftenHellos What? What are you looking at? DialogueRiftenHellos Piss off. I'm busy. DialogueRiftenHellos Get away from me. DialogueRiftenHellos A pleasure, thane. DialogueRiftenHellos Is it daylight out? Night? I lose track down here. DialogueRiftenHellos The prisoners are in rare form, as usual. DialogueRiftenHellos Watch your step in here. The stonework gets slippery. DialogueRiftenHellos Now that the Empire's arrived in Riften, we've finally established a launching point into Morrowind... just in case. DialogueRiftenHellos So is it Riften or Rifton? This place has changed its name so many times, I can't even remember. DialogueRiftenHellos Seems like capturing Riften is turning out to be more of a hassle than a benefit. But what do I know? DialogueRiftenHellos Why we bothered to capture Riften I'll never understand. Just look at this place. DialogueRiftenHellos This city still reeks with the stench of the Stormcloaks. Makes me sick to my stomach. DialogueRiftenHellos I hope you're finding the city in proper order, thane. DialogueRiftenHellos I trust the day's found you well, thane. DialogueRiftenHellos How do you do, thane? DialogueRiftenHellos You could say the Ratway is the city under the city. Dark, dangerous, and no place for decent folk. DialogueRiftenHellos Riften's under my protection. You watch yourself, now. DialogueRiftenHellos Careful. Riften's not the safest place for a nighttime stroll. DialogueRiftenHellos City's quiet enough now. But when the sun goes down, you best keep on your guard. DialogueRiftenHellos There's an apothecary in town, yeah. But it's down on the lower walkway, so stay sharp if you go down there. DialogueRiftenHellos There's fine steel at the Scorched Hammer, if you fancy a new blade. DialogueRiftenHellos Need a drink, you go to the Bee and Barb. Stay out of the Ragged Flagon, stay out of the Ratway. DialogueRiftenHellos If it's a bed you need, talk to Keerava in the Bee and Barb. She'll set you right. DialogueRiftenHellos There's a foul presence coming from Darklight Tower, southwest of the city. Some say the place is home to necromancers. DialogueRiftenHellos City got attacked once by those damn bandits, come east across the lake, from Faldar's Tooth. They won't be trying that again. DialogueRiftenHellos Best not go wandering east of the city. Bandits been seen around Broken Helm Hollow. DialogueRiftenHellos Talk of strange happenings at Autumnshade Clearing, just north of the lake. My guess? Spriggans. DialogueRiftenHellos If you journey north, keep well away from Snapleg Cave. Damned Hagravens have infested the place. DialogueRiftenHellos By the gods, a dragon's been sighted just south of the city, flying around Lost Tongue Overlook. DialogueRiftenHellos Oh, it's you again. What in blazes do you want? DialogueRiftenHellos If you've got the coin, you're welcome here. Otherwise, hit the road. DialogueRiftenHellos What can I get you? Mead? Wine? DialogueRiftenHellos Looking for a place to stay? DialogueRiftenHellos You have some nerve coming back here after what you did to Keerava. DialogueRiftenHellos Welcome to the Bee and Barb, milord. If I can interest you in one of our special drinks, you let me know. DialogueRiftenHellos Welcome to the Bee and Barb, milady. If I can interest you in one of our special drinks, you let me know. DialogueRiftenHellos Is there something I do for you? DialogueRiftenHellos Be brief Imperial, there's only so long I can stand being downwind of your stench. DialogueRiftenHellos Ah! A fellow Nord! I trust you're bringing the fight to the Empire. DialogueRiftenHellos If your allegiance lies with the Empire, we haven't much to discuss. DialogueRiftenHellos Hm. You're not from around here. Imperial spy perhaps? DialogueRiftenHellos How can a humble servant of Talos help you today? DialogueRiftenHellos Talos bless you, my child. DialogueRiftenHellos Blessings of Talos upon you. DialogueRiftenHellos Blessings upon you, traveler. DialogueRiftenHellos Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you much right now... I'm currently in mourning. DialogueRiftenHellos You've caught me at a bad time. I've lost someone dear to me. DialogueRiftenHellos Yes? What is it? DialogueRiftenHellos I'm the brewmaster around here. What did you want? DialogueRiftenHellos I'm quite busy. Need something or can I get back to work? DialogueRiftenHellos Yeah? What do you want? If this is about the meadery, we can talk later. DialogueRiftenHellos Welcome! Allow me to recommend the Black-Briar Mead... the purest brew in all of Skyrim! DialogueRiftenHellos We serve only the best here... Black-Briar Mead. May I get one for you? DialogueRiftenHellos I'm off work at the Black-Briar Meadery. I'll be back there in the morning. DialogueRiftenHellos Hey, don't look at me that way! Who are you to judge me? DialogueRiftenHellos So what if I have a problem? I know how to deal with it! DialogueRiftenHellos Maramal thinks he's so smart; tells me that Mara will cleanse the filth from my blood. Ha! What does he know? DialogueRiftenHellos My n'wah of a father thought he could pull my strings... "continue the Hlaalu tradition." Bah! I left all that nonsense behind. DialogueRiftenHellos If Indaryn finds out, he'll have me thrown out of the Meadery for certain. So don't breathe a word of it to him. Not a word! DialogueRiftenHellos Oh what am I going do? I can barely afford to stay at the Bunkhouse. DialogueRiftenHellos I'm going to stop. That's what I'm going to do! Then everyone will see that I'm not as useless as they think. DialogueRiftenHellos A Dreth never forgets a traitor. You'll pay for this! DialogueRiftenHellos Wilhelm was pleased with the delivery, well done. DialogueRiftenHellos I believe you have a delivery to make. DialogueRiftenHellos You look like you could use a drink. What do you say to some cheap mead? DialogueRiftenHellos I'm selling the best mead in town for cheap. Interested? DialogueRiftenHellos Well met. I don't think they're hiring anyone at the moment, so if you're looking for work, you're out of luck. DialogueRiftenHellos The trees... they're beautiful here. Reminds me of autumn at home. DialogueRiftenHellos The fall forest makes me miss my childhood; playing among the towering trees in Valenwood and living with my brethren. DialogueRiftenHellos Seeing the sorry state of this city almost makes me regret my decision to leave my home when my apprenticeship completed. DialogueRiftenHellos I was fortunate enough to be guided by one of Silvenar's master armorers until he passed. DialogueRiftenHellos On his deathbed, my master urged me to take over his business but I decided against it. I chose to wander Tamriel instead. DialogueRiftenHellos Now here I am, working for this dreary city's Fishery. I sometimes wonder why I don't just move on. DialogueRiftenHellos Hello. Welcome to the Pawned Prawn. DialogueRiftenHellos If there's anything you need, I'd be glad to help you. DialogueRiftenHellos My husband Bersi will be the death of me. He spends too much time worrying about Riften and not enough about himself. DialogueRiftenHellos All the crime and corruption in Riften is really getting to him... and now that we hear rumors about the dragons, he's been very depressed. DialogueRiftenHellos Bersi's afraid that someone's making a move to take the Pawned Prawn from us. I think he's being paranoid. DialogueRiftenHellos We both own the Pawned Prawn together, but he's singlehandedly kept the place running despite all our problems. DialogueRiftenHellos I just care about my husband so much and I hate to see him in this state. DialogueRiftenHellos Welcome to the Pawned Prawn. What can I do for you? DialogueRiftenHellos I have all sorts of interesting items for sale. Have you looked around? DialogueRiftenHellos Pickings may be a bit slim today, but if you see anything you like I'll make you a good deal. DialogueRiftenHellos If you're looking for anything to sell for a fair price, I run the Pawned Prawn over by the market. DialogueRiftenHellos I presume you're bothering me for a good reason? DialogueRiftenHellos What in the name of Oblivion do you want? DialogueRiftenHellos I don't have time for idle chit-chat. What is it? DialogueRiftenHellos The throne suits me, don't you think? DialogueRiftenHellos My title is just a formality. I've always been in charge around here. DialogueRiftenHellos Jarl Maven Black-Briar. Has a pleasant sound to it, wouldn't you say? DialogueRiftenHellos Fancy yourself the adventuring type, eh? It's just as well, I doubt your combat prowess would prove valuable in a real battle anyway. DialogueRiftenHellos I was trained by some of the finest warriors in all Skyrim to wield a blade as if it was an extension of my own arm. DialogueRiftenHellos My mother spares no expense where I'm concerned. I'm heir to the family fortune after all. DialogueRiftenHellos Once I'm in charge I have bigger aspirations than just Skyrim. I plan to bring Black-Briar Mead to all of Tamriel. DialogueRiftenHellos My children, Sibbi and Ingun, are being groomed to run the family business one day as well. DialogueRiftenHellos Sibbi will prove to be a fine leader one day, but Ingun... that girl has her mind somewhere other than business. DialogueRiftenHellos Maven's disappointed that Ingun's heart isn't in the family business, but she says "Ingun still has her uses." Not sure what that means. DialogueRiftenHellos I'm Riften's appointed Steward. How can I help you? DialogueRiftenHellos Steward Hemming Black-Briar at your service. DialogueRiftenHellos Well, if it isn't my little problem-solver. DialogueRiftenHellos Well, well. Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. I've always got time for lovely ladies. DialogueRiftenHellos Have you come to gawk at me or is this a social call? DialogueRiftenHellos Ah finally, someone besides the stupid guards to talk to. DialogueRiftenHellos My experiments continue to go well thanks to you. How can I return the favor? DialogueRiftenHellos Any luck gathering those ingredients? DialogueRiftenHellos Hm? Sorry, just thinking about my experiments. DialogueRiftenHellos My mind is on my experiments today. What did you need? DialogueRiftenHellos What was it you wanted? DialogueRiftenHemmingBranchTopic Defense? No one would dare attack Riften. I'm not sure you realize just how well connected Jarl Maven is with the Empire. DialogueRiftenHemmingBranchTopic With a single snap of her fingers, we could have a legion here in a fortnight. DialogueRiftenHemmingBranchTopic01 Indeed. You don't get to the position my mother's achieved by blind luck... her business sense and diplomatic skills are legendary. DialogueRiftenHemmingBranchTopic02 If you say so. DialogueRiftenHemmingBranchTopic03 I don't care what you think. The Empire put Maven on the throne for a reason. That's all you need to know. DialogueRiftenHofgrirBranchTopic Been stuck with the name for years. DialogueRiftenHofgrirBranchTopic I've been ridin' horses since I was a lad... nothin' I liked more. But as I got bigger, so did my mounts. DialogueRiftenHofgrirBranchTopic Then one day, I was drunker than I've ever been and mounted a poor colt. Broke his back in two. Haven't ridden since. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Aventus Aretino. He was sent to live here after his mother died. He escaped. And... DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Before he left, he said he was going to do the Black Sacrament. You know, to call the Dark Brotherhood. So they'd come and kill old Grelod! DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Word out on the street is that he went home to Windhelm, and people have heard strange chanting coming from his house. He's really doing it! DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Aventus Aretino. He was sent to live here after his mother died. He escaped. And... DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Before he left, he said he was going to do the Black Sacrament. You know, to call the Dark Brotherhood. So they'd come and kill old Grelod! DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Word out on the street is that he went home to Windhelm, and people have heard strange chanting coming from his house. Looks like he really did it! DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic A little boy who lived here. Aventus Aretino. He was nice, but really quiet, and sad, because his mother just died. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic He ran away. Back home to Windhelm. Samuel told me he's trying to get some murderer people to come here and kill Grelod. I really hope he does. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic A little boy who lived here. Aventus Aretino. He was nice, but really quiet, and sad, because his mother just died. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic He ran away. Back home to Windhelm. Samuel told me he was trying to get some murderer people to come here and kill Grelod. Did he really do it? DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Oh, Aventus Aretino. He was sent here when his mother died, but he ran away. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic I heard he went back to his house in Windhelm, and is trying to get the Dark Brotherhood to come and murder Grelod. That would be so wonderful. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Oh, Aventus Aretino. He was sent here when his mother died, but he ran away. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic I heard he went back to his house in Windhelm, to try and get the Dark Brotherhood to come and murder Grelod. And... he actually pulled it off! DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Aventus Aretino? He only lived here for awhile. I think his mother got sick and died or something. Anyway, he's gone now. He ran away. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic But Samuel told me he's back home in Windhelm, and is doing some kind of dark ritual. He's trying to summon some killers to come get old Grelod. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic Aventus Aretino? He only lived here for awhile. I think his mother got sick and died or something. Anyway, he's gone now. He ran away. DialogueRiftenHonorhallKidsBranchTopic But Samuel told me he's back home in Windhelm, and did some kind of dark ritual. He summoned killers to murder old Grelod. He's saved us all. DialogueRiftenHousecarlBranchTopic Indeed. There have been multiple attempts on the Jarl's life. We're not certain if it's the Dark Brotherhood or simply Imperial sympathizers. DialogueRiftenHousecarlBranchTopic We've also had run-ins with spies attempting to probe our security for weaknesses. I work with the city guard to make certain they fail. DialogueRiftenHousecarlBranchTopic At the end of the day, I'm the last line of defense for the Jarl. I will not allow her to fall. DialogueRiftenHousecarlBranchTopic As long as she continues to keep me at her side, she can count on my blade to protect her. DialogueRiftenHousecarlBranchTopic To be honest, I doubt someone would be stupid enough to make an attempt on Maven... sorry, Jarl Maven's life. DialogueRiftenHousecarlBranchTopic But just in case, I'll be ready for them. DialogueRiftenHousecarlPoliticsBranchTopic Ulfric's a bloody hero. I don't think there's a worthy Nord alive who'd dare argue the point. DialogueRiftenHousecarlPoliticsBranchTopic He's taking the Empire to task and making them answer for their crimes. DialogueRiftenHousecarlPoliticsBranchTopic I don't think I'll be content until Ulfric sits upon the throne of Skyrim with the ashes of the Concordat at his feet. DialogueRiftenHousecarlPoliticsBranchTopic Hey, if the Empire and the Stormcloaks want to kill each other over some foolish cause, I say let 'em. DialogueRiftenHousecarlPoliticsBranchTopic All I care about is two things: watchin' Maven's back and countin' the gold she pays me to do it. DialogueRiftenIdles Rare trinkets and the finest oddities from Morrowind! DialogueRiftenIdles Gems, potions, exotic ingredients... I have them all! DialogueRiftenIdles The fairest prices and the highest quality in Skyrim! DialogueRiftenIdles Beautiful baubles and gleaming gemstones over here! DialogueRiftenIdles Jewelry with legendary Argonian craftsmanship! DialogueRiftenIdles Buying and selling fine jewelry here! DialogueRiftenIdles Fresh meats and produce! Get them before they're gone! DialogueRiftenIdles All meats guaranteed clean and free from Rockjoint! DialogueRiftenIdles Vegetables as crisp as a winter's morning! DialogueRiftenIdles Looking to stay alive? Why take a chance? DialogueRiftenIdles Buy some armor and live to tell about it! DialogueRiftenIdles Protect yourself right... buy armor from Grelka. DialogueRiftenIdles Inkpot. Stone. Bucket. Book. Knife. DialogueRiftenIdles Ha ha ha ha! No! Never find me! DialogueRiftenIdles Bucket. Knife. Book. Inkpot. Stone. No, no, no. DialogueRiftenIdles Knife. Yes. Book. Yes. Bucket. Yes. Inkpot? No. DialogueRiftenIndarynBranchTopic Maven Black-Briar wants me to keep the mead flowing and that's what I aim to do despite all these lazy good-for-nothings that work for us. DialogueRiftenIndarynBranchTopic Ever since I took over as the foreman the production of our mead has never been more profitable. DialogueRiftenIndarynBranchTopic And if the meadery is profitable, I get rich. Get the picture? DialogueRiftenIndarynMavenBranchTopic Lady Maven could buy or sell anyone in Skyrim. I wouldn't be surprised if she's the one pulling the strings around this city. DialogueRiftenIndarynMavenBranchTopic She's always welcome in Mistveil Keep and between you and me, I'm pretty sure she even has some pretty influential friends within the Empire. DialogueRiftenIndarynMavenBranchTopic I'd also warn you not to cross her. She employs quite a few... troubleshooters to take care of messy problems. DialogueRiftenIngunAlchemyBranchTopic It's exhilarating to observe the effects of my potions on the body. Watching the heart stop... the eyes go blind. DialogueRiftenIngunAlchemyBranchTopic We're made up of thousands of parts with thousands of different functions all working in tandem to keep us alive. DialogueRiftenIngunAlchemyBranchTopic Yet if only a single part of our imperfect machine fails, life fails. It makes one realize how fragile... how flawed we are. DialogueRiftenIngunAlchemyBranchTopic You ask why I'm so fascinated? The irony... the irony that the same world that gave us life provides us the means to die. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Riften's biggest exports used to be fishing and honey, until the Black-Briar family moved in. Now the meadery is the biggest game in town. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic The Thieves Guild has been pushing hard to regain a foothold in this city. Rumor has it they're falling apart from the inside. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic The city guard has been tearing Riften apart looking for the source of our skooma problem. I'd hate to be in their shoes if they get discovered. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Sibbi Black-Briar is furious that his ex-lover tried to murder him. He's leaving no stone unturned searching for her. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Mjoll the Lioness used to adventure across Skyrim before she settled down in Riften. I hear it all ended when she lost her enchanted blade. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Crime is at an all-time high in this city thanks to the Thieves Guild. Don't we have enough problems with the war going on? DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic If Maven Black-Briar keeps raising prices on mead, I'll have to resort to watering it down just to make ends meet. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic If it's true that the dragons have returned, what will it mean for all of us? Is this how it all ends? DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Shop at Belethor's for the best prices and selection. He pays me to say that. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Hm hmm. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic We done? DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Best if... you didn't mention to anyone that you saw me here. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic I've said too much already. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Remember - don't trust the Imperials. No matter what honeyed lies they tell you. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Live long. Fight well. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic You take care of yourself, now. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic If you need any jewelry, just let me know. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic If you need a drink, just holler. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Yeah, take care. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Come back anytime if you need a remedy. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Do forget to see me at my shop sometime - Arcadia's Cauldron. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Stay out of trouble. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Keep your nose clean. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Need anything else, just let me know. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic I think I've got some mugs need scrubbin'. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Goodbye, dear. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Is it cold in here? I should put more wood on the fire... DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Now please, no more questions. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic If there's nothing else, I have work to do... DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic You should buy some produce from Carlotta's stall. Most of it comes from my farm. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic You should stop by my farm if you get a chance. See what life's really about. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic It's the leaving that's hardest, I know. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Some parting advice - women love sonnets. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Yeah, take care of yourself. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Do come back. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Remember, I'll give you the best deals, or die trying. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Next time, come see my at my shop. I've got some things you'll just love. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Good doin' business with ya. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic We'll have to have a pint together sometime, you and me. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Good hunting. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Remember, I've got the freshest meat in all of Whiterun. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Right. Till next time. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Thank you very much for your business. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Farewell. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic I was done talkin' anyway. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic You go on your way now, boy. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic You go on your way now, girl. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Farewell, my lady. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Farewell, sir. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Take care. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic You watch yourself out there. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Keep your eyes open for those Stormcloak dogs, yeah? DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Do be careful, child. Skyrim is not as safe as it used to be. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic By the way, you might want to stop in at Warmaiden's. These days, folk need all the protection they can get. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Long live the Empire. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic The Stormcloaks are living on borrowed time, believe me. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic May your sword be sharp, and your tongue sharper. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Keep a song in your heart, and a blade in your boot. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic It's back to work, then. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic I'll see you. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Yes, yes. Goodbye. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic May all your possible futures be bright. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Remember, fresh fruit and vegetables every day. Mostly. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Thanks for the business. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic I've really got to be going. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic I think I hear my daughter calling... DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Goodbye, ma'am. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Goodbye, sir. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic May Talos guide you. Always. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Stay vigilant! Our enemies are legion! DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Goodbye. And if you happen to see Mikael, tell him I was asking about him... DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Farewell. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic See you. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Right, then. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Hmm hmm. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic We done? DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Finally. I got stuff to do, ya know. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Back to my book... DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Damn it, I lost my page... DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic The blessing of Arkay be upon you. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Walk always in the light, in these days of darkness. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Sure. Whatever. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Bye, now. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Don't let the door slam into your backside on the way out. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Now if ya don't mind, my house could do with a bit of dusting. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Grace of Kynareth be with you. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Travel great Skyrim, and Kynareth travels with you. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic You need to be careful in this city. Never know who you can trust, these days. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Goodbye, dear. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Right, I really am busy. So... DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic If there's nothing else, I really do have important matters tend to. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic If you run into my husband Nazeem, remind him that he's not married to himself. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Take care of yourself. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic You know, if you've got the aptitude, you should join the Mages College in Winterhold... DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Remember, your mind is the best weapon you have. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Stay sharp. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Don't forget to check inside the shop if you need anything. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Thanks for the business. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Enjoy your visit to Dragonsreach. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic If there's any more I can help you with, just let me know. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Next time, deal with Avenicci. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Now if you don't mind, I've got a city to keep. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Maybe we'll meet in the field. Just pray we're on the same side. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic If you run into any Stormcloaks, kill a dozen for me. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic I've got my eyes on you. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Mind yourself in front of the Jarl, or we'll have serious problems. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Ride strong. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic You always keep us in mind when you need a fresh horse, yeah? DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Uh huh. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Back to work, I guess. There's never a shortage of dung to shovel around here. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Good. Chat time's over. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Yeah, whatever. DialogueRiftenKeervaRumorsBranchTopic Please, leave me to recover my... mental energies. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPower02Topic With the Stormcloaks at his back, Ulfric's poised to rid Skyrim of the Empire's forces and invalidate our involvement with the White-Gold Concordat. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPower02Topic Between you and I, I think his motivations are a bit more self-serving. He uses this holy war as leverage in order to pursue the throne. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPower02Topic If he were to be crowned High King, I'm not so certain it would be the golden age his followers expect. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPower02Topic With the Stormcloaks at his back, Ulfric's poised to rid Skyrim of the Empire's forces and invalidate our involvement with the White-Gold Concordat. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPower02Topic Many have died taking up arms for this cause. I fear that the land will be stained with blood for years to come. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPower03Topic Surely you're aware of the Great War between the Imperials and the Elves who called themselves the Aldmeri Dominion? DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPower03Topic When the smoke cleared, the White-Gold Concordat was signed... it was supposedly a treaty aimed at establishing peace within the Empire. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPower03Topic One of the terms of the treaty was the outlawing of worship to Talos. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPower03Topic To the Stormcloaks, this was viewed as the moment when the Empire became unworthy of the allegiance of any true Nord. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPowerTopic While I feel Ulfric's cause is just, my concern is for the people of The Rift. DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPowerTopic How can they continue to lead their already meager lives with dark clouds looming overhead? DialogueRiftenLailaBranchInPowerTopic My heart goes out to them. If only our coffers were deeper, I could protect them as they were my own family. DialogueRiftenMadesiBranchTopic Not well I'm afraid. That Brynjolf... he keeps draining the people's pockets with his ridiculous miracle cures. DialogueRiftenMadesiBranchTopic A few months ago it was troll fat salve and now he's got something new. DialogueRiftenMadesiBranchTopic Not that there's anything that can be done about it. He's in good with the Thieves Guild. DialogueRiftenMadesiSaxhleelBranchTopic Forgive me. It's a term I haven't used in some time. While most in Tamriel call my kind Argonian, we prefer the term Saxhleel. DialogueRiftenMadesiSaxhleelBranchTopic Forgive me. It's a term I haven't used in some time. While most in Tamriel would call us Argonian, we prefer the term Saxhleel. DialogueRiftenMadesiSaxhleelBranchTopic01 Madesi was actually my original Saxhleel name. Unlike others, I decided to embrace tradition and keep it that way. DialogueRiftenMaramalBranchTopic It's difficult to appreciate her gifts in these dark times, but you should consider her light a beacon in the storm. DialogueRiftenMaramalBranchTopic Mara's domain encompasses the emotions we strive the most to embrace; love, compassion and understanding. DialogueRiftenMaramalCharityBranchTopic Of course! I'd be more than happy to add a donation to our charity box. DialogueRiftenMaramalCharityBranchTopic Right now, the best you could provide is coin. We need all the help we can get. DialogueRiftenMaramalCharityBranchTopic01 Thank you! I can promise you that this will be put to good use. DialogueRiftenMaramalCharityBranchTopic02 As you wish. Whatever you can afford will certainly be put to good use. DialogueRiftenMaulBlackBriarsTopic Well, you got Maven, she pretty much runs the whole operation. She's got friends in high places if you know what I mean. DialogueRiftenMaulBlackBriarsTopic She's also got ties to the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild, so basically no one can touch her. DialogueRiftenMaulBlackBriarsTopic Just remember, if she tells you to do somethin'... you damn well better do exactly what she says. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic The only thing I heard is a rumor that a boy named Aventus Aretino, in Windhelm, has been attempting to contact the Dark Brotherhood. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic He used to live here in Riften at the Orphanage on the other side of town but I think he ran away. Can't say I blame him. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Old Nord sacrifice place. Be careful around here. Let's look for a way to open the bars. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Ah, the ceremonial juncture. The old Nords used to do sacrifices here. Look around for a way to open those bars. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic It comforts me to know that, Bolgeir. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic No disrespect toward the general, but sometimes I wonder if he's got your best interests at heart. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic In any case he won't be turnin' me into no Imperial soldier. I know my place, and it's at your side. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I'm aware of that, Bolgeir, and I appreciate your dedication. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic However, if we lose the war, the guardsmen of Solitude will make little difference in the end. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Told you that, did he? DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I'm sworn to protect you, my Jarl, but I'm the last line of defense. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic The first line is the walls around this city and the men who patrol them. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Men who, I might add, we're precious short on. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Yes, I know. The general acted with my blessing. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic It is vital that we bring Ulfric to justice, but that cannot happen until his army of Stormcloaks is defeated utterly. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic We lost another five guardsmen, my Jarl. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic If General Tullius continues to conscript our men and send them off to battle, we'll have none left to protect the city. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Yes, my Jarl. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Oh, very well. I can see there's no changing your stubborn Nord minds. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic But when this war is won, I will have my parade! DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I must protest, my Jarl. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic A parade would make you an easy target for a Stormcloak assassin. You're safer here in the palace. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic What a... fine idea, my Jarl. However, I would suggest we wait until the war has ended. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic After all, the General needs his soldiers out in the field, fighting battles against the Stormcloaks. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Steward, I have an idea that might help to bolster the morale of our people in this difficult time. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I think we shall have a grand parade, and let General Tullius march his troops from the Blue Palace to Castle Dour in all their finery. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I will make the arrangements, my Jarl. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic There's no need for an apology, and you're right about the war. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Perhaps this is a matter best discussed with with the general in person. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic My apologies, Jarl Elisif. I was thinking only of the importance of the war effort. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic General Tullius does not run this city, Thane Erikur. Or have you forgotten your oaths of fealty? DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic General Tullius will never allow that. He's ordered all surplus food to be given over for the war effort. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic A wise course of action, my Jarl. However, we have little food or water to spare. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Steward Falk, I have a task for you. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I want to begin stockpiling food and water in the event we come under siege, and I would like you to oversee this work personally. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Stop it, both of you. You're acting like children. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I should very much like to see you try it, my dear steward. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Hold your tongue, Wizard, or you're likely to lose it. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Oh, I'm sorry, did I imply that you'd be meeting for purposes other than court business? You must forgive me. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I beg your pardon? DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Oh, well done. Very subtle. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Is it that time again already? DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Very well, let's meet this evening and make the arrangements. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic It's nearly time to collect taxes on your properties here in the city, Bryling. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic We'll need to visit each home for an assessment. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Have faith, Bryling. When this war is over and Ulfric is dead, you'll see that you were jumping at shadows, and nothing more. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Yes, of course, but Ulfric's message is a powerful one. More of our people flock to his cause every day. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic We don't have the luxury of hanging back to see who wins before choosing our friends, Bryling. You know this. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic And besides, no Nord with a shred of honor would consider it. We're no cowards. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic You know that I support the Empire, as we all do. However, I fear General Tullius is underestimating the Stormcloaks. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Too often the general has lost good soldiers because he did not take Ulfric and his men seriously. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic If this continues, and the worst comes to pass, Solitude will pay the price. The Empire is headquartered here, after all. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Speak your mind, Bryling. You're among friends here. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic There's something that's been troubling me, Falk. I am hesitant to share it, but I feel that I must. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic The Jarl would be wise to remember that it is her thanes - and my profits - that are paying for this war. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic We know full well about your investment in shipping ventures, Erikur. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I've also heard troubling rumors about dealings between you and the crew of that pirate ship, the Red Wave. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Thankfully, Jarl Elisif cares far less about your lost profits than she does about winning the war! DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Then let's increase the taxes on the farms and merchants. We can't afford to lose the loyalty of the ship captains. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic General Tullius needs more money for the war effort. We need the funds to arm and provision more troops. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic I've heard the Empire plans to levy a tax on our trading ships. Falk, you've got to do something about this. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic If you really are Dragonborn, like out of the old tales, you ought to be able to Shout. Can you? Have you tried? DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Go ahead... try to Shout. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Have you tried to Shout? DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic They say the Dragonborn can Shout without any training. Like Talos himself... DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Here's a dead dragon, and that's something I definitely understand. Now we know we can kill them. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic That was Shouting, what you just did! Must be. You really are Dragonborn, then... DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic But I don't need some mythical Dragonborn. Someone who can put down a dragon is more than enough for me. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Hmph. Some of you would be better off keeping quiet than flapping your gums on matters you don't know anything about. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Come on, Irileth, tell us, do you believe in this Dragonborn business? DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic What do you say, Irileth? You're being awfully quiet. DialogueRiftenMaulDarkBrotherhoodTopic Those born with the Dragon Blood in 'em. Like old Tiber Septim himself. DialogueRiftenMaulJewelTopic Do I look like a merchant to you? You're going to have to take that up with Vex in the Thieves Guild. DialogueRiftenMaulJewelTopic Get in good with them and you'll find her. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic The Black-Briars have Riften in their pocket and the Thieves Guild watchin' their back, so keep your nose out of their business. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic Me? I'm Maul. I watch the streets for 'em. If you need dirt on anythin', I'm your guy... but it'll cost you. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic01 Then we're speakin' the same language. Good. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic01 So what do you want to know? DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic01 Then you're stupider than you look. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic01 You better watch your ass around here. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic02 Pleasure doin' business with you. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic02 So what do you want to know? DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic02 You don't have enough to earn my loyalty. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic03 All right, all right, let's not get too hasty now. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic03 So what do you want to know? DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic03 Ha ha! Don't make me laugh. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic03 Just stay out of the Black-Briars' affairs. You'll live longer. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic04 Suit yourself. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic04 I'll be at the docks if you change your mind. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Only way you could have found one of those is by stealin' it. Guess you'll fit in around here better than I thought. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 So what do you want to know? DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Walk always in the shadow of Sithis. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 May the shroud of death embrace you. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Darkness guide you. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Burn that little jester alive. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Remember, fireballs. You can never go wrong. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Go, incinerate some poor bastard for me. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Yeah, yeah. Goodbye, kill lots of people, Hail Sithis, and all that. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Go. Do what has to be done. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Have fun! DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Can't wait to hear all about the next person you murder. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Have a good contract. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Kill well, and often. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Just come back alive, and I'll be happy. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Go on now. Time to get your hands bloody. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Take care of yourself, beef roast. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Later, ham hock. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Yeah, good luck. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Represent us well, brother. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Represent us well, sister. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Remember, when you kill - we all wield the blade. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Watch yourself out there. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Cicero bids you... farewell. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Oh, yes. Goodbye, goodbye. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Farewell, farewell! DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Until next time, brother. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Until next time, sister. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Kill well. And often. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Right, then. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranch02Topic05 Stay safe. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranchTopic I don't know you. You in Riften lookin' for trouble? DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranchTopic Hey, you. Get over here, I want to talk to you. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranchTopic01 Yeah? Well, I got news for you; there's nothing to see here. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranchTopic01 Last thing the Black-Briars need is some stranger stickin' their nose where it doesn't belong. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranchTopic02 Don't say something you'll regret. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranchTopic02 Last thing the Black-Briars need is some loudmouth tryin' to meddle in their affairs. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranchTopic03 That's the wrong answer. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneBranchTopic03 Last thing the Black-Briars need around here is some troublemaker tryin' to steal a piece of the action. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneWalkaway02Topic Yeah, walk away like a good doggie. Just stay out of the Black-Briars' business and maybe we'll give you a bone. DialogueRiftenMaulSceneWalkawayTopic You can pretend not to hear me all you want... but you better stay out of the Black-Briars' business. DialogueRiftenMaulTGTopic You kiddin'? My brother Dirge works in their hideout. DialogueRiftenMaulTGTopic I used to run with them myself, but took a job with Maven after they started hittin' a rough patch. DialogueRiftenMaulTGTopic If you want to get in on that action, find Brynjolf in the marketplace. I'm sure he could use someone like you. DialogueRiftenMavenBranchTopic Of course. Nothing gets done without my approval in this city. I have the Jarl's ear, and the guards in my pocket. DialogueRiftenMavenBranchTopic Anyone makes trouble for me and I pay a visit to the Thieves Guild. Make me angry and I contact the Dark Brotherhood. DialogueRiftenMavenBranchTopic You'd do well to remember that the next time you make such a stupid observation. DialogueRiftenMavenTGBranch01Topic And you think that I care? Interesting. DialogueRiftenMavenTGBranch01Topic I don't believe in getting my hands dirty. You have people that handle those sort of things... use them. DialogueRiftenMavenTGBranchTopic The Black-Briar family has always been allied with the Guild. Our connections with the Empire and within Skyrim make for a perfect fit. DialogueRiftenMavenTGBranchTopic I dare say the Guild owes its survival as much to my family as it does to its own people. DialogueRiftenMjollAdventureBranchTopic Its been difficult. I've taken the burdens of this city's problems upon myself and I keep running into impossible obstacles. DialogueRiftenMjollAdventureBranchTopic Corruption, lies and deceit are the order of the day here. DialogueRiftenMjollAdventureBranchTopic If it wasn't for Aerin, the young man who saved my life, I think I'd already have given up long ago. DialogueRiftenMjollAdventureBranchTopic01 It was Aerin who found me dying outside of a Dwemer ruin. If he hadn't brought me here and nursed me back to health, I would have died. DialogueRiftenMjollAdventureBranchTopic01 When my strength returned and he told me about the problems plaguing Riften, I decided fate brought me here for a reason... so I stayed. DialogueRiftenMjollBranchTopic I've been adventuring across Tamriel since I was a fresh-faced young woman barely able to swing a blade. DialogueRiftenMjollBranchTopic My travels have taken me from High Rock to Valenwood, Elsweyr to Morrowind and all points in between. DialogueRiftenMjollBranchTopic01 Many years ago I lost my blade, "Grimsever," within a Dwemer ruin. I took it as a sign that I was wasting my days in search of wealth. DialogueRiftenMjollBranchTopic01 You and I are alike. We seek challenge and great fortune. But for me, that's where the similarities end. DialogueRiftenMjollBranchTopic01 You see, Riften is my great beast to be slain and my fortune comes from gratitude and trust. DialogueRiftenMjollTGBranchTopic To call it a guild is ridiculous. How can people who would betray one another over a gold coin be considered part of an association? DialogueRiftenMjollTGBranchTopic They're the worst kind. Even the Dark Brotherhood abides by a strict set of rules and tradition. These thieves are just rabble. DialogueRiftenMjollTGBranchTopic What do you think? DialogueRiftenMjollTGBranchTopic01 You know, I'm beginning to respect you. Other than Aerin, you seem to be the only other person I've met I might be able to trust. DialogueRiftenMjollTGBranchTopic01 Since we share the same opinion of them, let me warn you that they're recruiting others to join their "guild" and you should be cautious. DialogueRiftenMjollTGBranchTopic02 That's a shame. Too many people in Riften share your view and look where its getting them. DialogueRiftenMjollTGBranchTopic02 It's going to take more than just myself and Aerin to help this city... it has to want to help itself first. DialogueRiftenMjollTGBranchTopic03 You disappoint me. I expected someone from outside Riften to be different, but I see corruption's reach holds little regard for boundaries. DialogueRiftenMjollTGBranchTopic03 Enjoy the city. It will suit you well. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Because big, bad Brynjolf doesn't like the way I play thief. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Look, he says we needed coin, so I got coin. Who cares if people got hurt? Blood washes off septims. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Now I'm sitting in here counting skeever droppings while he's drinking Black-Briar mead with Maven. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Don't worry. I'm sure he made it out. It'll take more than a dragon to stop Ulfric Stormcloak. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic I ought to get back to work before I'm missed, but... did anyone else escape? Did Ulfric... DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Thanks, sister. I knew we could count on you. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic I told you my sister would help us out. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic I hope to see you in Windhelm. Good luck. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Come on. I'll feel better once we're under cover in Riverwood. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Do you think that dragon is still flying around here somewhere? DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic I almost can't believe it... a real, live dragon... DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Did you really see a dragon? DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic I bet my uncle Ralof is tougher than you are. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Make yourself at home. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic I'm glad to help any way I can. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Good luck, brother. I'll see you later. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Hmph. Help them drink up our mead, you mean. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic I'll let them into the house and, you know, show them where everything is... DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Mind your mother, boy! DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Go and watch the south road. Come find us if you see any Imperial soldiers coming. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Any friend of Ralof's is a friend of mine. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Nonsense. You and your friend are welcome to stay here as long as you need to. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Let me worry about the Imperials. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Good. Maybe we can lay up for a while. I hate to put your family in danger, Gerdur, but... DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Nobody else has come up the south road today, as far as I know. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic As strange as it sounds, we'd be dead if not for that dragon. In the confusion, we managed to slip away. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Are we really the first to make it to Riverwood? DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic I can hardly believe it myself, and I was there. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic When your friend told me, I didn't believe it at first either. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic You don't mean, a real, live... DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic But then... out of nowhere... a dragon attacked... DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic They wouldn't dare give Ulfric a fair trial. Treason, for fighting for your own people! All of Skyrim would have seen the truth then. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic The cowards! DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Where to start? Well, the news you heard about Ulfric was true. The Imperials ambushed us outside Darkwater Crossing. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Like they knew exactly where we'd be. That was... two days ago, now. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic We stopped in Helgen this morning, and I thought it was all over. Had us lined up to the headsman's block and ready to start chopping. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic I can't remember when I last slept... DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Now, Ralof, what's going on? You two look pretty well done in. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Look at you, almost a grown man! Won't be long before you'll be joining the fight yourself. DialogueRiftenMolgromBranchTopic Uncle Ralof! Can I see your axe? How many Imperials have you killed? Do you really know Ulfric Stormcloak? DialogueRiftenMolgromEscapeBranchTopic Hey, if you're in good with Maven you've pretty much got it made. DialogueRiftenMolgromEscapeBranchTopic She's got friends in high places, and I don't just mean in Skyrim. DialogueRiftenMolgromEscapeBranchTopic So getting the guards to throw me in here as a "punishment" was about as easy as falling off a log. DialogueRiftenMolgromNameBranchTopic Got into a scrap a few years ago at the Ragged Flagon. Some idiot who stole himself a guard's sword and kept boasting about it. DialogueRiftenMolgromNameBranchTopic He's making too much racket and I'm trying to get Vex drunk. So I tell him to keep it down and he just runs me through. DialogueRiftenMolgromNameBranchTopic01 Yeah, I was lucky though. After Vex tore the guy to pieces, she gave me a potion. If she hadn't of been there... DialogueRiftenMolgromNameBranchTopic01 Anyway, after I got back to the Guild, I decided to start calling myself Twice-Killed. DialogueRiftenMolgromNameBranchTopic02 Yeah, but Twice-Killed has more of a ring to it! DialogueRiftenNuraNoTalosBranchTopic Now that the Imperial blight has poisoned Riften, the worship of Talos is strictly forbidden by the terms of the White-Gold Concordat. DialogueRiftenNuraNoTalosBranchTopic They can defile our shrine, they can arrest our people and they can silence our voices, but the Empire will never destroy our spirit. DialogueRiftenNuraNoTalosBranchTopic As long as we keep Talos in our heart, his legacy will never die. DialogueRiftenNuraTalosBranchTopic He's the protector of Man, the Dragon of the North, the patron of all Nords. DialogueRiftenNuraTalosBranchTopic And despite the Imperials and their treaty, he will always be one of the Nine Divines. DialogueRiftenNuraTalosBranchTopic A devout Nord would rather fall in battle and have his blood spill upon the earth than allow the Empire to strike his name from the divinity. DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopic Hey, you're not supposed to be down here. Official business only. DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopic What are you doing down here? DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopic01 Oh, my mistake then. Sorry, you can go on ahead. DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopic01 Sure, and I'm Queen Barenziah. Now tell me another one. DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopic02 Sure, that'll do just fine. Go on ahead. DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopic02 That's just insulting. Not even a proper bribe? DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopic03 Bloody tourists. DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopic04 Forgive me milord, I didn't recognize you! Please proceed. DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopic04 Forgive me milady, I didn't recognize you! Please proceed. DialogueRiftenPrisonGuardBranchTopicWalkaway Ignore me all you want, you still aren't getting in. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic It's Riften's name for the sewers beneath our feet. Absolutely disgusting! DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic If you fancy keeping your purse filled with gold and your head on your shoulders, I'd stay out of those awful tunnels. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic Disgusting. Ruined sewers filled with goodness knows what. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic There's an entrance down by the canal, but I'd highly advise you stay out of there... its the Thieves Guild's territory. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic Everyone knows the Thieves Guild uses the old sewer system beneath Riften as their hideout. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic I'd go down there myself, but that would leave Jarl Laila unprotected. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic There are ruined sewer tunnels beneath the city. The only way I know how to get in there is through a door off of the canal. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic If I were you, I'd keep my feet dry and stay up here. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic It's our name for the old sewers that run under the city. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic It used to be a huge system hundreds of years ago but it fell into decay just like the rest of Riften. DialogueRiftenRatwayBranchTopic The Guild stocks the place full of thugs that aren't good enough to join, so watch yourself if you venture down there. DialogueRiftenRomlynBranch01Topic Sure. How do you think I get my hands on the good stuff and offer it so cheap? You think old Maven is just giving it away to anyone? DialogueRiftenRomlynBranch01Topic Good thing she makes so much money. Makes it easier for merchandise like this to fall through the cracks. DialogueRiftenRomlynBranchTopic Sorry, fresh out. Maybe next time. DialogueRiftenRomlynBranchTopic Absolutely. Did you still want to buy one? DialogueRiftenRomlynBranchTopic Nothing but the best. Black-Briar Mead... fresh from the vat. DialogueRiftenRomlynBranchTopic Best of all, you don't have to pay the ridiculous prices Maven charges. So what do you say to that? DialogueRiftenRomlynBranchTopic01 Here you go. Oh, and keep it quiet. This stuff isn't exactly easy to get a hold of at these prices, if you catch my drift. DialogueRiftenRomlynBranchTopic02 Suit yourself. If you change your mind, I'll be around. DialogueRiftenSaerlundBranchTopic Because I did something not a soul in this bloodstained house of war has the backbone to do... dared to speak my mind. DialogueRiftenSaerlundBranchTopic I dared speak of the Empire and the lies that have been spread by Ulfric, the leader of the Stormcloaks. DialogueRiftenSaerlundBranchTopic Now my mother's stripped me of my heritage and incarcerated me here like a common criminal and my brother has all but disowned me. DialogueRiftenSaerlundBranchTopic Be wary what you say around here, friend. You'll find not all take kindly to "insurrection." DialogueRiftenSaerlundUlfricBranchTopic Ulfric only cares about one thing... Ulfric. He's ordained himself the future High King of Skyrim and steps on anyone that gets in his way. DialogueRiftenSaerlundUlfricBranchTopic He's begun a rebellion against those that wish to eradicate the worship of Talos and uses it as his rallying cry. DialogueRiftenSaerlundUlfricBranchTopic His cause may be true, but the man is a lie... all he holds in his heart his lust for the throne. DialogueRiftenShadrBranchTopic Yes. Hofgrir took me in when I arrived in Riften about a year ago. He's been teaching me everything he knows. DialogueRiftenShadrBranchTopic Horses are my whole life. Back in Hammerfell, I helped my family raise horses at our farm. DialogueRiftenShadrBranchTopic I hope to open my own stables one day, but I think it's going to take a lot longer than I expected. DialogueRiftenSharedTopic01 Okay, look. If I'm caught saying anything bad about the meadery or the family, I'm a dead man. DialogueRiftenSharedTopic01 I'm the fourth person to work the tasting counter in the last year. The last three are at the bottom of Lake Honrich. DialogueRiftenSharedTopic01 Just take my advice and just get out of Riften as soon as you can. DialogueRiftenSkoomaBranchTopic I'm not sure what it's made from, but I can tell you that once you've had a taste, you'll never crave anything else. DialogueRiftenSkoomaBranchTopic The Dunmer came up with the stuff a long time ago. Very illegal and very hard to come by. DialogueRiftenSkoomaBranchTopic I got mine off of a merchant ship in Solitude. Worst mistake I ever made. DialogueRiftenSnowShodHatredTopic They mean to take our history and crush it all in the name of some damn treaty. DialogueRiftenSnowShodHatredTopic The soil beneath our feet is steeped in the blood of our ancestors. We've fought for this land and... died for it. DialogueRiftenSnowShodHatredTopic I lost my own daughter to the Imperial dogs, and by Talos I'll not lose anyone else! DialogueRiftenSnowShodHatredTopic Talos is part of our culture. He's part of our heritage and our tradition. He's Skyrim personified. DialogueRiftenSnowShodHatredTopic To suddenly have all that wrenched away is like losing someone you hold dearly in your heart. DialogueRiftenSnowShodHatredTopic The Empire already took my daughter from us, but by Talos they will not take our homeland! DialogueRiftenSS02Hellos I don't have any business with you, so get out of my face. DialogueRiftenSS02Hellos I can't talk right now. DialogueRiftenSS02Hellos Follow me. I will show you how to open the path to Paarthurnax. DialogueRiftenSS02Hellos Paarthurnax is the only one who can answer your questions about Dragonrend. DialogueRiftenSSDaughterBranch01Topic Lilija joined the Stormcloaks many years ago, when the first of the skirmishes broke out across Skyrim. I was so proud of her. DialogueRiftenSSDaughterBranch01Topic She served as a Battle Maiden, using her healing arts to help those that fell on the battlefield. Never even lifted a blade in her life. DialogueRiftenSSDaughterBranch01Topic It didn't matter. The Imperial soldiers cut her down... killed her like a dog and left her body to rot in the mud. DialogueRiftenSSDaughterBranch01Topic And that's why I won't rest easy until every single Imperial soldier joins her, and Ulfric sits upon the throne of Skyrim. DialogueRiftenSSDaughterBranch01Topic I trained our daughter Lilija as a healer... to one day tend the Shrine of Talos and replace me as a Priestess of Talos. DialogueRiftenSSDaughterBranch01Topic When the fighting began over the White-Gold Concordat, she ran off to join the Stormcloaks. She had her father's fire, how could I say no? DialogueRiftenSSDaughterBranch01Topic She died out there, only having tended to the wounded soldiers for a few months. We never even found her body... the Empire burned all the dead. DialogueRiftenSvanaBunkhouseBranchTopic Work? I suppose you can call it that. I call it slavery. I work my fingers to the bone keeping this disgusting place clean. DialogueRiftenSvanaBunkhouseBranchTopic Ever since my parents died and Haelga took me in, it's been a nightmare. How was I to know she was such a wretched woman? DialogueRiftenSvanaBunkhouseBranchTopic So now I'm stuck living here while those pigs she calls customers grope me and say the most awful things. DialogueRiftenTalenJeiDrinkBranchTopic Three in fact. They're my own recipe. Brought them over here from my days as a bartender in Gideon. DialogueRiftenTalenJeiDrinkBranchTopic First is the "Velvet Lechance" which is a mixture of blackberry, honey, spiced wine and a touch of nightshade... perfectly safe, I assure you. DialogueRiftenTalenJeiDrinkBranchTopic Second, we have the "White-Gold Tower" which is heavy cream with a layer of blended mead, lavender and dragon's tongue on top. DialogueRiftenTalenJeiDrinkBranchTopic Last, and only for the bravest of souls, we have the "Cliff Racer" which is Firebrand Wine, Cyrodiilic Brandy, Flin and Sujamma. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic They live below the streets in the Ratway like dirty animals. And trust me, they're no better than the vermin that slink out of there for scraps. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic They make it difficult for decent people to earn a living. Of course, not many decent people live here in the first place. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic I'd hardly call them a Guild. More like unorganized rabble. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic In fact, I wouldn't say they were a threat at all. No, our resources should be spent on preparations for invasion. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic We're all eager to see them brought to justice. Maven Black-Briar has assured me that they're being dealt with appropriately. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic As one of our city's most influential citizens, she's has taken it upon herself to oversee their incarceration. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic Sadly, they're proving elusive but I have confidence that Maven won't give up until this city has been rid of them all. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic Liars and bastards. Every one of them. I'd have their heads on a pike if it wasn't for the war effort. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic All I need is a dozen men and we could march into the Ratway and burn them out like rodents. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic Stormcloaks won't have it though. Too busy keeping the Imperial forces at bay. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic They're vermin... garbage. They're exactly what makes this city such a horrible place to live. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic How appropriate they should live in the Ratway with the rest of the trash. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic They'd stop at nothing to take your last bit of food if that's all you had. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic The Ratway's too good of a place for that scum. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic They used to be pretty feared around here. I mean, you'd whisper the name and it'd send chills down your spine. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic Now, they're nothing more than ruffians and thugs trying to pry a few extra coin from honest people. DialogueRiftenThievesGuildBranchTopic All it would take is a small force of guard to go into the Ratway and flush them out. DialogueRiftenUngrienBlackBriarBranchTopic She's an absolute pleasure to work for! In fact, I almost feel guilty accepting pay from her. DialogueRiftenUngrienBlackBriarBranchTopic Why, just this last week I was commenting to my fellow meadery workers just how lucky we are to be working for such a charitable family. DialogueRiftenUngrienBlackBriarBranchTopic01 That is the truth, my friend! Maven is a saint and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. DialogueRiftenUngrienBlackBriarBranchTopic03 It's going to take a lot more than that. DialogueRiftenUngrienBlackBriarBranchTopic04 Sure am! I thank my lucky stars every time I look to the night sky that Maven took me in and gave me this opportunity. DialogueRiftenUngrienMeadBranchTopic Lady Maven's been developing the secret recipe for Black-Briar Mead over the last several decades. DialogueRiftenUngrienMeadBranchTopic She uses a very secret blend of spices, fresh honey from Goldenglow Estate and specially constructed aging casks to ensure the best flavor. DialogueRiftenUngrienMeadBranchTopic Even when you get to the last sip in your flagon, it'll taste just as good as the first! DialogueRiftenUngrienMeadBranchTopic01 Damn it! Sorry. I'm not very good at this. DialogueRiftenUngrienMeadBranchTopic01 Look, just don't say anything to Maven, will you? I've spent weeks trying to get that right and if she sees how stupid I am, she'll get rid of me. DialogueRiftenUngrienMeadBranchTopic02 Yeah... fired. Sure. That's what I meant. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic I haven't seen so much celebrating in years. Mercer's dead, we have a new Guild Master and things are finally looking up. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Business is booming, coin is flowing and everyone seems content as things keep going our way. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic A new chapter in the Thieves Guild is being written this day and we all owe it to you. Many thanks. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic I haven't seen so much celebrating in years. Mercer's dead, we have a new Guild Master and things are finally looking up. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic I only hope we can restore the Guild to its former glory after all the damage that's been done. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic So, word has it you and Brynjolf know where Mercer's hiding. Good. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Make sure you make him pay for what he did to Gallus... heck, for what he did to all of us. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic We're all behind you, friend. Do your best. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic The word is that Mercer Frey is a dead man. The Guild wants his blood. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic I can't say I blame them. Murder is not our way. Gallus was before my time, but I still can't believe it. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic You need to teach him a lesson... show him the penalty for betrayal around here. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Look, I like you, so I'll tell it to you straight. Brynjolf and the rest are in the Guild, and they're ready to cut you down. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic I know you have a damn good reason for siding with Karliah, so I hope you can give it to them. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Everyone's been worried since you and Mercer haven't shown up in a while. Brynjolf even went out to find you. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Delvin and Vex have been running things for now. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic I hope this all gets straightened out soon or I'm headed on the first caravan out of Riften. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Glad to hear Gulum-Ei got what he deserved. That lizard owes me big for a bad shipment of Shadowbanish Wine he tried to pass off on me. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Mercer's been storming around waiting for you to come back. I think he's finally figured out who's been messing with the Guild. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Never seen the guy so angry. Better help him out any way you can. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Maven was down here right before you got back and she was all smiles. Haven't seen her like that in a long time. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Whatever you did at Honningbrew, you're now on her good side. Best of all, if she's happy, Mercer's happy. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Keep it up and you'll go places. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Well, you did something Vex couldn't do at Goldenglow, so you're looking pretty damn good. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Word is that you found something while you were out there though... something that could be a problem for the Guild. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Just watch your back and do what Mercer says... he'll sort it out. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic I don't know about the others, but I sure am glad to see a fresh face down here. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic The Flagon used to be packed every night with the boys from the Guild but now look at it. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Last few years have been pretty bad. I've almost closed this place up. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic I don't know you so we've got nothing to talk about. How about you finish the job Brynjolf gave you, then we can talk. DialogueRiftenVekelBranchTopic Sure. How about you mind your own business about it, and I won't have to get Dirge to toss you into the cistern? DialogueRiftenWujeetaFisheryBranchTopic Bolli is a good man, he pays us well and watches out for us. DialogueRiftenWujeetaFisheryBranchTopic I used to work at the Black-Briar Meadery, but Indaryn and I never saw eye-to-eye. That elf has no patience at all. DialogueRiftenWujeetaFisheryBranchTopic It's probably for the best anyway; I'm far better at fishing than working in a meadery. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic Someone actually interested in what I'm doing? Amazing! Well, allow me to explain. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic My experimentation involves a magical construct and a reagent that will allow the construct to maintain a field of permanent harmonic energy! DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01 You don't have to, because it's utter nonsense. It's never going to work. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01 No, no, no. What I need to do is to reverse that. Draw the harmonic energy into the reagent and then apply it with the proper incantation. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01 What was I thinking? It would never work that first way. Why didn't you tell me? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Ah ha! So you're a student of theoretical applied harmonics! DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Putting aside Ralston's Constant of Universal Inversion for a moment, how would you approach the problem? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Draw the harmonic energy into the reagent or allow it to generate its own field? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a I know this place will eventually kill us. I have come to accept that. But I will always regret that day I introduced you to Orchendor. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a But who am I kidding, I know you wouldn't let me leave, brother. You truly believe in Orchendor and his promises. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a I want out. I want to leave this place. I long for the fresh air of the Reach. This place only makes us sicker. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Forgive me for saying this, brother, but I have not felt Peryite's presence. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a He promised Peryite would be present at all times and give us comfort in our suffering. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Orchendor promised a place where we would be accepted and taken care of. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a We've been here so long and what do we have to show for it? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a I know you can't hear me, brother. I don't like what we've become. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Are you asleep? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Yes, yes, as with you. Now be off. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Yes, my Brother. Forgive me. May the blessing of Peryite be with you. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Now leave me to my sleep. My strength and patience are waning. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a I'm sorry my Brother. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a This is the reason you wake me? I already have Orchendor's request taken care of. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a He requests more barrels of ichor to be delivered to the Arcanex tomorrow. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Yes, what is it? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a I'm sorry to wake you, my Brother. I have a request from Orchendor. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Keep your eyes and ears open my Brothers and Sisters. Orchendor needs us to keep vigilant while he convenes with Peryite in the Arcanex. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Yes, suffer for you. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Yes, show yourself to us. Until that day, we will continue to devote our lives to you and suffer for you. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Yes, a sign. We are lost without your guidance. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a On the ninth of Rain's Hand our prayers went unanswered, yet here we stand, not faltering in our belief that soon you will show yourself to us. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Yes, a blessing. For many months we have sought your guidance, yet we have heard nothing from you. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a If we do not please you, give us a sign so that we may understand why. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a Peryite, heed our call if you deem us worthy. Our leader, Orchendor, has led us here and for that we are thankful. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01a He has shown us that our suffering is not a punishment, but a blessing. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01b The blue thing? But even the simplest harmonic field is composed of entirely... DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01b Wait just a moment. The blue thing. Yes, yes, yes! I can see your point. Draw out the necessary energies using a Jarol Apparatus! DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic01b But wait. What about soul reversal? You must be aware of the consequences when using the apparatus near an open magic field. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic02 I'll tell you why you won't tell me. Because you were absolutely right not to. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic02 It's a fundamental rule of magic and it would be ridiculous. You can't draw from harmonic energy without a soul siphon. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic02 Since you're so well informed I'm certain you've solved the problem with thermic drift, right? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic02a Seven. Astonishing. I hadn't considered that. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic02a I mean, it would take months... years to work out the differentials. But what a revolutionary concept. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic02a Wait, wait. I can see a minor problem in your theory. Without a soul siphon, how would you prevent permanent magicka burn? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic02b Calipers? That's utterly ridiculous. Maybe long ago, you could just find calipers in every household across Tamriel, but not anymore. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic02b Hold on, you've given me a brilliant idea. Just as calipers hold materials in place, a soul siphon can hold magic fields in place. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic02b Genius! And I'm sure you've completely worked out how to counteract complete dimensional collapse, right? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic03 What's not to get? It's as simple as Traven's First Axiom of Magic... or was it Galerion's Law of Casting. Hmm. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic03 I'll tell you what, let me find out where that's from. I'll need to look through my library... and get you an answer. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic03 Umm... what were we talking about? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic03a Of course! Nine is the most basic of magical principles. Oh, how stupid of me. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic03a That completely takes care of all your basic problems, magicka burn, dimensional collapse and thermic drift! DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic03a You've done it! Now, if I can only remember what we were originally talking about. DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic03b Are you completely insane? Swallow a soul gem? DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic03b That has to be the most brilliant and unexpected solution I've heard in a long time. It solves all of my problems and keeps the field stable! DialogueRiftenWylandriahBranchTopic03b Now all I need... wait, what were we talking about? DialogueRiverwoodAlvorForge I see no harm in it, if you have the skill. DialogueRiverwoodAlvorForge The grindstone will improve your weapons. Use the table to improve your armor. DialogueRiverwoodAlvorForge If you've got the raw materials, you can use the forge to make something new. DialogueRiverwoodBackgroundTopic Gerdur's family first settled here as wood cutters a few generations ago. DialogueRiverwoodBackgroundTopic She and Hod run the mill. I make a decent living sharpening axes and fixing the sawmill. DialogueRiverwoodBackgroundTopic It's my mill. Some folks think it's my town too, but it ain't. The Jarl in Whiterun owns the land and the town. I just pay the taxes. DialogueRiverwoodDragons There's the one about Tiber Septim and the dragon Nafaalilargus. I never bothered to learn it. DialogueRiverwoodDragons The Blades killed them all centuries ago. Nobody asks to hear that lay anymore. DialogueRiverwoodDragons Outlanders should mind their own business. DialogueRiverwoodDragons Don't come back. DialogueRiverwoodDragons Damn outsiders. DialogueRiverwoodDragons And stay out. DialogueRiverwoodSpellsTopic I think I have a few old spell books laying about. If you want more, you'll have to go to the College of Winterhold. DialogueRiverwoodSvenDragon Truly? So maybe my mother isn't crazy after all. DialogueRiverwoodSvenDragon You had best tell the Jarl in Whiterun. He needs to know about this. DialogueRiverwoodSvenDragon Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! DialogueRiverwoodSvenDragon Like to see him laugh his way out that. DialogueRiverwoodSvenDragon Careful, huh? Thanks, Skulvar. I'll remember that. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! DialogueRiverwoodSvenStoresTopic Lucan's got a little bit of everything at the Riverwood Trader. DialogueRiverwoodSvenStoresTopic If you need weapons or armor, see Alvor, the blacksmith. DialogueRiverwoodSvenStoresTopic And by "supplies" I suppose you mean weapons and armor. DialogueRiverwoodSvenStoresTopic Alvor can help you out. He's our blacksmith. DialogueRoriksteadJouaneTopicsBranch1Topic Have you met Rorik? He owns these lands, and it's from him that our village gets its name. We have been friends for many years now. DialogueRoriksteadJouaneTopicsBranch1Topic Rorik fought for the Empire in the Great War. He was gravely wounded, and so was brought before me. I was a healer then, you see. DialogueRoriksteadJouaneTopicsBranch1Topic We were as close as kinsmen, and when Rorik returned home I came with him. I am happy to spend my twilight years here with my good friend. DialogueRoriksteadJouaneTopicsBranch2Topic Secret? What makes you think there's a secret? DialogueRoriksteadJouaneTopicsBranch2Topic There are no secrets here, my curious friend. Our prosperity is simply the result of hard work, good fortune and the blessings of the gods. DialogueRoriksteadJouaneTopicsBranch3Topic How can we? We're a community of farmers, not fighting men. DialogueRoriksteadJouaneTopicsBranch3Topic If not for the war, we might have enough guards in the hold to protect the settlements. That the dragons should return now is most unfortunate. DialogueRoriksteadReldithTopicsBranch1Topic Do I detect a bit of jealousy in your tone? I would hardly blame you. What calling could be more noble than this? DialogueRoriksteadReldithTopicsBranch1Topic I see in your eyes that you think I jest. I assure you, I don't. I am proud, and rightfully so, of the work we do here. DialogueRoriksteadReldithTopicsBranch1Topic Working the soil with your hands, seeing your seeds take root and grow, tending a herd... there is a joy in honest labor you won't find elsewhere. DialogueRoriksteadReldithTopicsBranch2Topic In Whiterun, mostly. Ennis handles the business arrangements, but I know that he has a few purchasers who give us a fair price. DialogueRoriksteadReldithTopicsBranch2Topic Ennis prides himself on his shrewd business schemes. For my part, I'm far happier working with cattle and crops than with people. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch1Topic Yes, that's right. Look around you. Most of the lands you see are mine. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch1Topic Most of this I purchased while my comrades were fighting in the south, helping the Empire against the Aldmeri Dominion. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch1Topic Back then, nothing would grow here and so the land was worthless. Now, thanks to hard work and the gods' blessings, our farms prosper. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch2Topic Aye, that I did. I commanded a force of several dozen men, most of them levies from villages in this part of the hold. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch2Topic I damn near met my end in that war. An Aldmeri soldier ran me through with his blade and left me for dead. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch2Topic A healer named Jouane saved my life. He's been my closest friend ever since. I tell you, that man is a miracle worker. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch3Topic Not yet, anyway, though it certainly could. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch3Topic With most of the hold's fighting men committed to the war, there are fewer swords to keep the roads safe from brigands and wild beasts. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch3Topic And of course, as the war drags on and supplies run low, our ample fields and stores of food will make a tempting target for desperate men. DialogueRoriksteadRorikTopicsBranch3Topic The best we can hope for a swift end to the conflict. The longer the war goes on, the worse it will be for all for us, I'm afraid. DialogueSalviusFarmRogatusFarmTopicTopic What've you been staring at your feet this whole time? You see that big city up ahead of you? Markarth? DialogueSalviusFarmRogatusFarmTopicTopic Head over there, unless you feel like helping my wife pick crops. And then 50 years later you'll wake up and still be here. DialogueSalviusFarmRogatusTopic What kind of question is that? Look at me! Is this a young man's face? DialogueSalviusFarmRogatusTopic I've been here 50 years, and nothing is going to move me off my land. DialogueSalviusFarmRogatusTopic As part of your initiation, Master Einarth will allow you to tap into his understanding of "Ro." DialogueSalviusFarmRogatusTopic Well, that is how the rest of us learn Shouts. As Dragonborn, you can absorb a slain dragon's life force and knowledge directly. DialogueSalviusFarmRogatusTopic But learning a Word of Power is only the first step... you must unlock its meaning through constant practice in order to use it in a Shout. DialogueSalviusFarmRogatusTopic All Shouts are made up of three Words of Power. As you master each Word, your Shout will become progressively stronger. DialogueSalviusFarmRogatusTopic Ro means "Balance" in the dragon tongue. Combine it with Fus - "Force" - to focus your Thu'um more sharply. DialogueSarethiFarmAlchemyBranchTopic I used to be. There isn't much time for that in my life anymore I'm afraid. DialogueSarethiFarmAlchemyBranchTopic I actually owned a shop in Vivec City long ago, but I had to leave all that behind when the Red Mountain erupted. DialogueSarethiFarmAlchemyBranchTopic Perhaps someday I'll reopen a shop here in Skyrim. DialogueSarethiFarmAlchemyBranchTopic One day, these beautiful plants will make us famous and we can finally move off of this farm... thanks to Sinderion. DialogueSarethiFarmAlchemyBranchTopic They're beautiful. I can see why he wanted to find them. DialogueSarethiFarmAlchemyBranchTopic Remember Uncle Sinderion? These are the plants he was searching for... the Crimson Nirnroot. DialogueSarethiFarmAlchemyBranchTopic Where did all these pretty red plants come from? DialogueSarethiFarmNirnrootBranchTopic Actually, I'm growing it if you hadn't noticed. DialogueSarethiFarmNirnrootBranchTopic I'm the only person alive that can cultivate nirnroot from a seed to a fully grown plant. DialogueSarethiFarmNirnrootBranchTopic01 I had quite the mentor. He taught me everything he know about the nirnroot and its strange properties. DialogueSarethiFarmNirnrootBranchTopic01 I haven't seen him in many years. I wonder what became of him... DialogueSarethiFarmNirnrootBranchTopic01Alt Yes. He was an absolute genius when it came to the nirnroot. DialogueSarethiFarmNirnrootBranchTopic01Alt Sinderion made it his life's work, developing all sorts of interesting concoctions. DialogueSarethiFarmSinderionPostBranchTopic When I was very young, I was sent to Skingrad in Cyrodiil to study with him. DialogueSarethiFarmSinderionPostBranchTopic He was a strange Altmer... paid more attention to his research than his own well-being. He lived in the basement of an inn for goodness sakes! DialogueSarethiFarmSinderionPostBranchTopic01 Well, after I fled Morrowind during the eruption, I made my way here... my family had purchased this farm and its all we had left. DialogueSarethiFarmSinderionPostBranchTopic01 Years later, Sinderion simply showed up at our doorstep asking to stay for a while... said he was going to do field research. DialogueSarethiFarmSinderionPostBranchTopic01 He stayed with us for decades... became an uncle of sorts to Aduri. DialogueSarethiFarmSinderionPostBranchTopic02 One day he simply ran out to me in the field, excited that he'd made some sort of a breakthrough and he was going to head out on another trip. DialogueSarethiFarmSinderionPostBranchTopic02 He never returned. From the journal you discovered, I'm sure you know the rest. DialogueShorsStoneGoodbyes I don't want to be responsible for sending you to your death. Be careful in the mine. DialogueShorsStoneGoodbyes Don't kid yourself... stone runs in our blood. DialogueShorsStoneGoodbyes May the road favor the foolish... DialogueShorsStoneGoodbyes Darkwater Crossing is a difficult journey. Mind yourself. DialogueShorsStoneGoodbyes Keep yourself safe, traveler. DialogueShorsStoneGoodbyes Fortune to you and your children. DialogueShorsStoneHellos The mine will be running better than ever thanks to you. DialogueShorsStoneHellos Nasty little buggers, aren't they? DialogueShorsStoneHellos The spiders put you through the ringer? DialogueShorsStoneHellos I hope you haven't arrived here looking for work in the mine. DialogueShorsStoneHellos Sorry, the mine's dry right now. DialogueShorsStoneHellos I hate seeing a good mine go to waste like that, you know? DialogueShorsStoneHellos If you're looking for supplies, I'd advise heading to Riften. DialogueShorsStoneHellos What brings you out to Shor's Stone? DialogueShorsStoneHellos Everything was going great in Redbelly. Then the damn spiders showed up. DialogueShorsStoneHellos You think you're tough, huh? Wandering Skyrim is a picnic compared to tunnel crawling! DialogueShorsStoneHellos The real work happens in places like this. Blood and sweat is what makes the world turn. DialogueShorsStoneHellos Sure, I used to be a soldier... but that was child's play compared to cracking rock. DialogueShorsStoneHellos Mining's my life now, I wouldn't want to do anything else. DialogueShorsStoneHellos Making that trip to Darkwater Crossing was a huge help. Thank you. DialogueShorsStoneHellos I trust my parents are well? DialogueShorsStoneHellos Would you happen to be headed towards Darkwater Crossing? DialogueShorsStoneHellos Welcome to Shor's Stone. DialogueShorsStoneHellos Have you ever been to Darkwater Crossing? Terrible name for such a beautiful place. DialogueShorsStoneHellos I suppose you're used to traveling, being a stranger around here. DialogueShorsStoneHellos Came all the way out here to see us, did you? DialogueShorsStoneHellos Ha! You showed those spiders a thing or two! DialogueShorsStoneHellos You're looking at the best miner in Skyrim. DialogueShorsStoneHellos I'd wager I could crack rock faster than anyone. Even you. DialogueShorsStoneHellos Takes a lot of strength to swing a pick axe, know what I mean? DialogueShorsStoneHellos Aye, I see the look you're giving me. Don't worry, I won't bite. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic Redbelly Mine gets its name from the red mist filling the place. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic You get used to it after a while... kind of smells like the hot springs out in the tundra. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic No idea what's causing it though. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic Mining iron takes a lot of strength and special reinforced tools. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic I must have broken five or six pickaxes in the last few months alone. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic But now that I've got Rocksplinter here, I can cut through stone like a hot knife through butter. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic I might be a woman, but I can crack rock with the best of them. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic Be careful in there, you can take a nasty spill. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic Damn place is filled with this reddish mist. Can't see more than ten feet in front of your face. DialogueShorsStoneRedbellyBranchTopic But when you can sniff out a vein of iron like me, it isn't too much trouble. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos Did you see the fires from Goldenglow Estate? I was afraid the whole place was going to burn to the ground! DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos If you're looking to purchase goods, I have none to sell. You should head into Riften instead. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos Pretty quiet out here on the farm. My wife and I kind of like the solitude. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos Vulwulf has been quite generous to let me take care of their farm considering I am not part of their family. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos The Snow-Shod's are very trusting to let me run this place without their supervision. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos I'm glad there are guards outside the farm. I don't think I could defend the place alone. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos My husband and I were just recently married. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos I'm originally from Cyrodiil, but I left there after I had a falling out with my family. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos This was the first door in Skyrim I knocked upon, and little did I know my future husband would be answering the door. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos I like the farm life. It's a huge change from living in a city. DialogueSnowShodFarmHellos Addvild's made me a happy woman. I wouldn't want to be with anyone else in the world. DialogueSolitudeAddvar02Topic Svari, yes. It's been hard on her. The girl misses her uncle. DialogueSolitudeAddvar02Topic I've tried to explain that Roggvir did something bad and that we all have to be accountable for our actions but... a child feels what she will. DialogueSolitudeAddvarBranchTopic Down at the docks. There are a few good spots, if you can avoid the East Empire Company workers and those Red Wave thugs. DialogueSolitudeAhtar01Topic02 Depends on what you mean by "busy." I'm also the head jailor in the dungeon here. Quiet job, usually. DialogueSolitudeAhtar02Topic Ain't got one. But I'd fancy a chance at that Jaree-Ra's scrawny neck. DialogueSolitudeAhtar02Topic Filthy Argonian never would have set foot in this city, if High King Torygg was still alive. I can tell you that. DialogueSolitudeAhtar02Topic02 Good man. DialogueSolitudeAhtar02Topic02 Good lass. DialogueSolitudeAhtarBranchTopic Aye. I'm the headsman here in Solitude. It's my job. DialogueSolitudeAngeline02Topic We mostly carry herbs and alchemical ingredients, that sort of thing. Before the war, our stock was mostly used for aromatic use in homes, yes. DialogueSolitudeAngeline02Topic These days, we have more people like you coming in, looking for healing and the like. DialogueSolitudeAngelineBranchTopic No, no. Mostly, I'm just a simple herbalist. Lami over in Morthal should be able to help you. DialogueSolitudeAngelineBranchTopic No, no. I'm just a simple herbalist. You'll want to see Arcadia, over in Whiterun. DialogueSolitudeAngelineFavorAccept Oh that's very sweet of you. Anything you can find out from Captain Aldis would be welcome news. DialogueSolitudeAngelineFavorContinue My daughter, Fura, was assigned to Whiterun after she joined the Imperial Army. I was hoping you might have met her. DialogueSolitudeAngelineFavorContinue I haven't heard from her lately. I've tried talking to Captain Aldis but he hasn't been any help. DialogueSolitudeAngelineFavorDecline Ah, well I guess it was unlikely. I'm sorry to waste your time. DialogueSolitudeAngelineImperial You're a traveller, correct? Have you been to Whiterun? DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral Ah well, it was a long shot. DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral Have it your way. Let's get that crown men! DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral Alright, get the crown off that draugr! DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral If you don't mind king, we'll just be taking that crown of yours and be on our way. DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral By the nine! DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral Ralof... get away from there, fool! DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral Hey, I found a crown over here on this corpse. Is this the one we're looking for? DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral Alright, get the crown off that draugr! DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral Have it your way. Let's get that crown men! DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral Well, King... If you don't mind, we'll just take that crown of yours and be on our way. DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral By the nine! DialogueSolitudeAngelineNeutral Hey, I found a crown over here on this corpse. Is this the one we're looking for? DialogueSolitudeAngelineStormcloak Wonderful. I hadn't really hoped to run in to someone who had been there. DialogueSolitudeBeirand01Topic It's almost all I have time for these days. DialogueSolitudeBeirand01Topic The men training here in Solitude and the troops out in the field, they all need weapons and armor. DialogueSolitudeBeirand01Topic These days? Aye. Most of what I make is for folk like you. DialogueSolitudeBeirand01Topic01Continue You should look into joining. They could use every hand they can get. DialogueSolitudeBeirand01Topic01Continue But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. DialogueSolitudeBeirand01Topic01Continue There's still Imperial camps to be cleaned up, as you know. And that takes arms and armor. DialogueSolitudeBeirand01Topic02 Ah... To be honest, no. But High King Torygg supported them, and now her lady Elisif has thrown in with them. DialogueSolitudeBeirand01Topic02 You could say I'm a King's man at heart. Hmph. I guess that's "Jarl's man" now. DialogueSolitudeBeirand01Topic02 My loyalty lies with Solitude. So where Jarl Elisif leads, I follow. DialogueSolitudeBeirand02Topic I think I would, if it weren't for my son. And my wife. DialogueSolitudeBeirand02Topic Oh, Sayma would have my hide if I even suggested I might step foot on a battlefield. DialogueSolitudeBeirand02Topic You think Stormcloaks and Legionnaires are dangerous? Ha! DialogueSolitudeCorpulusBranchTopic Well, as it turns out, I had a pet skeever when I was a boy and he used to wink. DialogueSolitudeCorpulusPetTopic They were smaller back then. DialogueSolitudeCorpulusReasonTopic I thought so. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch2Topic Ulfric coveted the High King's throne. He thought he deserved it more than Torygg. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch2Topic Now it would seem Ulfric has his wish. And there truly is no justice in the world. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch2Topic Because that's what traitorous cowards do when they desire power. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch2Topic Ulfric coveted the High King's throne. He thought he deserved it more than Torygg. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch2Topic And so he came before my husband and he... he shouted. With that terrible voice. Like something out of a legend... Or a nightmare. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch2Topic When Ulfric unleashed such fury, my husband he... he simply ceased to be. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch2Topic That is all I will say, for it grieves me to speak of it. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch3Topic Hmmm... A question I am all to familiar with. One my very Thanes ask often. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch3Topic They worry that Tullius is so focused on the war, that he risks forgetting what's best for our people. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch3Topic The real irony is that, while General Tullius is certainly no Nord, the people of Skyrim would be lost without him. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranch3Topic Trust is always difficult, especially for my people. Yet we must trust in Tullius' leadership. For what other choice do we have? DialogueSolitudeElisifBranchTopic No. Although it's true my husband Torygg was the High King and I am his widow, I am in no position to claim such a title. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranchTopic Ulfric Stormcloak is victorious, and the Jarls have fallen in line. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranchTopic It seems I will never take my rightful place as High Queen. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranchTopic Not yet, no. Although it is true my husband Torygg was the High King, and I am his widow... now is not the time to lay claim to such a title. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranchTopic This land is riven by war, and her people suffer for it. The Stormcloaks are a blight on Skyrim, and like any blight... must be purged. DialogueSolitudeElisifBranchTopic Only then will I take my rightful place as High Queen. DialogueSolitudeEndarie02Topic Only when you're around. The rest of these fools I could do without. DialogueSolitudeEndarie02Topic You'd think so, wouldn't you? I'm fine. Thank you for asking. DialogueSolitudeEndarie02Topic It is when my customers waste time chatting, and not buying. DialogueSolitudeEndarieBranchTopic I suppose I would, but you're the only one who gets that greeting. DialogueSolitudeEndarieBranchTopic It's never been an issue. People say you helped with the problems at Wolfskull Cave. DialogueSolitudeEndarieBranchTopic I applaud anyone who assists the court. DialogueSolitudeEndarieBranchTopic Oh, we do all right. Rumor is, you had a hand in the Blackblood Marauders' demise... DialogueSolitudeEndarieBranchTopic I'm impressed. DialogueSolitudeEndarieBranchTopic Radiant Raiment has the finest attire in all of Skyrim. That is how we... DialogueSolitudeEndarieBranchTopic Wait. You're that new bard, the one who saved the Festival. Aren't you? DialogueSolitudeEndarieBranchTopic That was a good bit of work. DialogueSolitudeEndarieBranchTopic Radiant Raiment has the finest attire in all of Skyrim. That is how we get business. DialogueSolitudeErikurBranch2Topic Oh, most certainly. At least, when Elisif herself asks. DialogueSolitudeErikurBranch2Topic If you're inquiring whether we have concerns about her age and inexperience, well, let me put it this way... DialogueSolitudeErikurBranch2Topic The Thanes have every confidence in General Tullius's leadership. DialogueSolitudeErikurBranch2Topic I don't suppose it matters much anymore. DialogueSolitudeErikurBranch2Topic As long as Ulfric wishes Elisif to remain Jarl, remain Jarl she will. And the Thanes will continue to follow her orders. DialogueSolitudeErikurBranch2Topic As long as those orders came from Ulfric. DialogueSolitudeErikurBranchTopic I'm a Thane. In the future, you may want to gain that information before talking with someone. Risk of looking like an idiot, and all that. DialogueSolitudeEvette01Topic02 It's a great big festival put on by the bards, every year. They burn an effigy of old King Olaf. It's quite a bit of fun. DialogueSolitudeEvette01Topic02 The bards give out spiced wine during the festival, so they put in a big order. And then, for weeks after, demand is so high, I can barely keep up. DialogueSolitudeEvette01Topic02 But with the death of High King Torygg, the Festival has been declared "in poor taste." So it looks like it won't happen this year. DialogueSolitudeEvette02Topic Oh, yes. A secret family recipe. The only good thing my father Octieve ever did. In fact, it's so good, no one else in Skyrim even tries to make any. DialogueSolitudeEvetteBranchTopic They're... adequate. Honestly, I rely on the business brought in by the Burning of King Olaf, and that's not likely to happen this year. DialogueSolitudeEvetteBranchTopic Oh, very brisk. When the snow sets in, even the hardiest Nord needs some spiced wine to warm the blood. DialogueSolitudeFalk01Topic01Continue But we must have the support of the other Jarls for that claim to have any meaning. DialogueSolitudeFalk01Topic01Continue Should they accept her rule, we will have peace. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch2Topic That remains to be seen. By rights, she has a legitimate claim as High Queen of Skyrim. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch2Topic That's the real question, isn't it? No one can deny Elisif has a legitimate claim to become High Queen of Skyrim... DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch2Topic Well... By rights, she had a legitimate claim as High Queen of Skyrim. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch2Topic But now Skyrim is at Ulfric's mercy. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch2Topic The moot will meet and choose Ulfric as High King. With his troops in most of the cities, they have little choice. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch3Topic Of course he does. What sort of a question is that? DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch3Topic Maybe you've been listening to Erikur. There's been loose talk among some of the Thanes, and I suspect he's the cause of it. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch3Topic You'll pay those rumors no heed if you wish to retain your welcome in this city. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch3Topic She may be young, but Elisif is the Jarl by right. And here in Skyrim, if nothing else, we respect the traditions of our father's fathers. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch3Topic You'd do well to remember that. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch3Topic Because killing her would yield no political advantage. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch3Topic By leaving Elisif alive, Ulfric completes the separation of the Empire and Skyrim. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch3Topic With Ulfric's troops here, Elisif will be forced to support his bid for High King. He secures the position and appears above reproach. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranch3Topic What's more, Ulfric's refusal to execute his slain enemy's wife will be portrayed as the ultimate act of compassion. Hmph. It's genius, really. DialogueSolitudeFalkBranchTopic She still mourns greatly for her husband, High King Torygg. So she leaves many of the courtly details to me. DialogueSolitudeFihada02Topic Why of course. And will you also be needing the bow that shoots rainbows? Or perhaps a quiver that dispenses beer? DialogueSolitudeFihada02Topic Look, if you want arrows we have them, but don't insult my intelligence. DialogueSolitudeFihadaBranchTopic Please. You're in the presence of a born huntsman. I can hear the sweat sliding down your forehead. DialogueSolitudeFrier1Topic Those who worship at the shrines will sometimes receive boons from the gods themselves. DialogueSolitudeFrier1Topic The nature of the favors varies per deity. Please, feel free to worship at any or all of the shrines. DialogueSolitudeFrier2Topic Hmm? Ah, yes. That once held the shrine to Talos. But the worship of Talos was banned by the White-Gold Concordat, some time ago. DialogueSolitudeFrier3Topic It's the peace treaty that ended the war with the Elves of the Aldmeri Dominion. DialogueSolitudeFrier3Topic The Dominion recognized the heresy of proclaiming Talos a god. Talos was a great man, and a great Emperor... but that does not make him a god. DialogueSolitudeFrier3Topic No matter how much the Stormcloaks may wish it were so. DialogueSolitudeGeimundTopicTopic Been about eight years now. I used to be a mercenary, but one trip to Ravenscar Hollow cured me of that. DialogueSolitudeGeimundTopicTopic There's hagravens in that cave with talons like daggers. They'll open your bowels quick as a wink if you let 'em get close. DialogueSolitudeGeimundTopicTopic Creature like that'll make a man think long and hard about what he wants out of life. DialogueSolitudeGeta03Topic02 Then you didn't know Roggvir, and you have no idea what it means to be a Nord of Skyrim! DialogueSolitudeGeta03Topic02 He did the honorable thing, even when he knew it would cost him everything. DialogueSolitudeGeta03Topic02 My brother was the best man in Solitude. DialogueSolitudeGisli02Topi01Continue If you're looking for truth instead, see Noster. He's a good example of what life has to offer. DialogueSolitudeGisli02Topi01Continue And if you're just looking to feel good, go get some Spiced Wine from Evette. But whatever you do, just leave me alone. DialogueSolitudeGisli02Topi01Continue But you won't get any better than this from me. DialogueSolitudeGisli02Topic If you're looking for a good attitude go see the Bards. They'll fake it for you if nothing else. DialogueSolitudeGisliBranchTopic Yes. My older brother and the person you probably want to be speaking to right now. DialogueSolitudeGisliBranchTopic But really, since Torygg's death, Falk Firebeard wields the true power of the Jarl's court. My brother is nothing more than a pompous little fop. DialogueSolitudeGisliBranchTopic Yes. My older brother. He was a bit of a fop, really. DialogueSolitudeGisliBranchTopic And truth be told, since Torygg's death, he had no real power in court. But still... He didn't deserve to die. DialogueSolitudeGreta02Topic Then like Roggvir, you're a Nord at heart. It's hard for many of the people here to understand. DialogueSolitudeGreta02Topic I think Aldis understands. I don't think I could have stayed here if anyone else had... DialogueSolitudeGreta02Topic I... I think I need to stop talking now... DialogueSolitudeGreta03Topic Roggvir. He opened a gate and they executed him for it. DialogueSolitudeGreta03Topic He opened a gate and the wrong man rode out of it. If that man hadn't been Ulfric Stormcloak. If Ulfric hadn't killed High King Torygg... DialogueSolitudeGreta03Topic But it was Ulfric. And he did kill the High King, in honorable combat. My brother refused to allow the the Imperials to take revenge for the deed. DialogueSolitudeGreta03Topic So now he's dead. DialogueSolitudeGreta03Topic03 Then like Roggvir, you have a Nord's heart. It's hard for many of the people here to understand. DialogueSolitudeGreta03Topic03 I think Aldis understands. I don't think I could have stayed here if anyone else had... DialogueSolitudeGreta03Topic03 I... I think I need to be done talking for the moment. DialogueSolitudeGretaBranchTopic Then you didn't know Roggvir, and you have no idea what it means to be a Nord of Skyrim! DialogueSolitudeGretaBranchTopic He did the honorable thing, even when he knew it would cost him everything. DialogueSolitudeGretaBranchTopic My brother was the best man in Solitude. DialogueSolitudeHeimvar02Topic Food, experience and a roof over my head in the finest city in Skyrim. DialogueSolitudeHeimvar02Topic If money's all you hold dear, then you you end up like Jaree-Ra. A plague on the city. DialogueSolitudeHeimvar02Topic02 Captain Aldis can't prove it, but that Argonian is up to no good. DialogueSolitudeHeimvar02Topic02 Really? I knew he was mixed up in something dangerous, but I hadn't heard he was dead. DialogueSolitudeHeimvarBranchTopic Ha! I like you. DialogueSolitudeHeimvarBranchTopic No man is a match for a dragon. DialogueSolitudeHeimvarBranchTopic Buying one of our blades wouldn't hurt your chances, though. DialogueSolitudeIlldiBranchTopic Thank you. I'm still at the beginning of my lessons but Inge... Dean Six Fingers... says I'm quite good with the flute. DialogueSolitudeIlldiBranchTopic Thank you. I'm still at the beginning of my lessons. Dean Six Fingers used to say I was quite good with the flute. DialogueSolitudeJala02Topic That I do. I had a messenger from Dragon Bridge stop here on his way to the Blue Palace, not too long ago. DialogueSolitudeJala02Topic He was very nervous, mentioned something about needing help. DialogueSolitudeJala02Topic At times. Jaree-Ra stopped by the other day. Told me to keep an eye out for him, see if any new people arrived in the city. DialogueSolitudeJala02Topic Everyone who's anyone. Viarmo bought an apple the other day, said he was looking for a new student. DialogueSolitudeJala02Topic Not lately. Business has been slow. DialogueSolitudeJalaBranchTopic I have my ways, but it's not easy these days. DialogueSolitudeJalaBranchTopic The Blackblood Marauders have been plundering ships off the coast. A lot of people been hurt by their foolishness. DialogueSolitudeJalaBranchTopic It's been easier lately. DialogueSolitudeJalaBranchTopic The Blackblood Marauders haven't been seen since the Icerunner attack, so my shipments have been more regular. DialogueSolitudeJawanan02Topic Where the Dragon attacked? DialogueSolitudeJawanan02Topic We've heard rumors of death and... and fire from the skies. But no real news. DialogueSolitudeJawanan02Topic02 Then we should soon be selling arrows by the bushel. A sword is no good against a dragon. DialogueSolitudeJawananBranchTopic Aye, but I'll be here in Solitude for longer still. Fihada's skill as a fletcher drew me to this place. I wanted to learn. DialogueSolitudeJawananBranchTopic And there is still much of Skyrim I wish to see. I hear there is a city, Wind-Helm, that is nearly white with... What do you call it? Ah yes! Snow. DialogueSolitudeJawananBranchTopic And far to the west lies a ruin. Volskygge. Inside, there is said to be a wall, black as night. And it speaks! In the ancient Dragon tongue! DialogueSolitudeJawananBranchTopic There are wonders in this place I never dreamed imaginable. DialogueSolitudeJornBranchTopic And why wouldn't I be? We sing tales of kings, queens and their politics, 'tis true. But do you know who really makes history? DialogueSolitudeJornBranchTopic The person who writes it. DialogueSolitudeKaydTagTopic Five, four, three, two, one... go! DialogueSolitudeKaydTagTopic Five, four, three, two, one... go! DialogueSolitudeLisett02Topic Generally, if you want rumors, you should talk to Corpulus. That said... I did see a visitor pass through on his way to the Blue Palace. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Oh, no. But being surrounded by good music, good drink and good friends is all I've ever asked for. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic You and everyone else. Word is it may not happen this year though. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic I think I may wait until the Burning of King Olaf to have and Spiced Wine. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic It is a shame though. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic It's too bad the Burning of King Olaf was called off this year. I think some of the younger bards would really have gotten a kick out of it. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic I think our flutist here has gotten better since the Burning of King Olaf. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Well, you can understand Elisif not wanting it. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic I'm so glad we got to have it. I thought for sure Elisif would never consent. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Absolutely not. I prefer to be near enough to come visit but free to come and go as I please. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Do you miss your days training at the College? DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Not in our nature. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic You Bards don't cut each other any slack do you? DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Speaking of harsh. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic He's okay. A little breathy and a little harsh on the notes. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic She's okay. A little breathy and a little harsh on the notes. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic I could listen to him play all day. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic I could listen to her play all day. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic It's those damned Blackblood Marauders. They're scaring off shipping. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic One apple. Since the Blackbloods were dispatched I've had good luck getting shipments. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Your fruit are looking a little less ripe today. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Your selection looks very delicious. I'll take an apple. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Positions. DialogueSolitudeLisette01Topic Lock the city gate. DialogueSolitudeMelaran02Topic No. That honor is Sybille Stentor's. A smart man steers clear of Stentor. DialogueSolitudeMelaran02Topic And keeps himself out of the dungeon when she's having a bad day... DialogueSolitudeMelaran02Topic No. That honor is Sybille Stentor's. A smart woman steers clear of Stentor. DialogueSolitudeMelaran02Topic And keeps herself out of the dungeon when she's having a bad day... DialogueSolitudeMelaran02Topic Now that Sybille Stentor is out of the picture, I am indeed. And the court is, well... free of her... eccentricities. DialogueSolitudeMelaran02Topic Moving into her quarters was an interesting process. DialogueSolitudeMelaran02Topic02 Let's just say the headsman's axe may not be the worst way for a Solitude Jail prisoner to die. DialogueSolitudeMelaran02Topic02 Look at that. I've told you to watch your tongue and mine is waggling. I've said enough. DialogueSolitudeMelaranBranchTopic I make sure Erikur keeps breathing. DialogueSolitudeMelaranBranchTopic I provide my wisdom and insight to the court. DialogueSolitudeMelaranBranchTopic It does indeed. You know, I hear you had something to do with Sybille Stentor's demise... DialogueSolitudeMelaranBranchTopic That must have been a hard bit of business. I hear Stentor had been alive for a long, long time. DialogueSolitudeNosterBranchTopic What? You see a man fallen on hard times, and you think he's been like that forever? DialogueSolitudeNosterBranchTopic I was there. I fought in the Great War. I was on the field at Anvil. And when I was struck down, they left me. DialogueSolitudeNosterBranchTopic You understand? They left me for dead. I didn't leave them. DialogueSolitudeSayma02Topic No. That was an ugly affair. High King Torygg's death has turned the whole town on its head. DialogueSolitudeSayma02Topic And between you and me? He wasn't even that good a king. All of those rambling speeches about the Empire this, and the Empire that... DialogueSolitudeSaymaBranchTopic Beirand's my husband. He works the forge up at Castle Dour. I barely see him nowadays, what with him filling orders for the army. DialogueSolitudeSaymaBranchTopic My husband. He was the blacksmith up at Castle Dour. DialogueSolitudeSorex01Topic02 Listen, Roggvir and I grew up together. It was us, a few others and Vivienne. Vivienne Onis. DialogueSolitudeSorex01Topic02 I have no idea why, but one day, I told Roggvir I liked her. It was a stupid thing to do... He mocked me incessantly after that. DialogueSolitudeSorex01Topic02 From that point forward, every time Vivienne and I were anywhere close to each other, he made sure to humiliate me. DialogueSolitudeSorex01Topic02 He'd beat me up, dump mead on my head, anything he could get away with. Once he even slipped a beehive into my bed. DialogueSolitudeSorex01Topic02 We were children, sure. But Roggvir never outgrew that immaturity, or his cruelty. So any talk about him being an "honorable" Nord? Pure folly. DialogueSolitudeSorex02Topic Work in it? I own it. DialogueSolitudeSorex02Topic You could say that. I own the place. DialogueSolitudeSorex02Topic01Continue Well... okay. My father owns the Winking Skeever. But it's the family business, so it'll be mine when he kicks off. DialogueSolitudeSorex02Topic01Continue My father owned it until he... passed on. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic I showed up to watch, yeah. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic I don't know if they were right to execute him for what he did, but I'll tell you something... DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Fruit, fresh off the boat! The freshest in Skyrim! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Get your fresh fruit and produce here! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Apples, tomatoes, leeks and cabbages! Fresh and ripe! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Fresh fish! Fresh fish! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Fresh Fish! Straight from the Fjords! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic The finest fish, here! Caught daily! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Spiced Wine to warm the blood! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Keep the cold at bay with our spiced wine! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Spiced wine, the taste of home and hearth! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Come on, now! I want those arrows dead center! The lives of your fellow soldiers are counting on it. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Concentrate. The battlefield is full of distractions. Ignore them! Focus on your targets. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Some day soon, you will all see battle. And what you do here, today, may well save your lives! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic You won't get anything out of me, you filthy sons o' horkers. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic I stand with the Stormcloaks. You Imperial dogs will never break my will. Never! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic I've got weapons for givin', and armor for gettin'! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Arms and armor! Forged by a master craftsman! DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic A coin or two for a veteran? It's not much to ask... DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic You know you can afford a septim or two. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Let us walk in the steps of the Divines. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Remind us of our place, when we forget. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic May knowledge of your Divinity carry us through our daily trials. DialogueSolitudeSorexBranchTopic Did you see a hound on the road? A fine, strong creature that's been wandering near town. DialogueSolitudeStyrr01Topic02 This city has a long history of madness and murder. The Wolf Queen... Pelagius... The death of High King Torygg... And now, public executions. DialogueSolitudeStyrr01Topic02 My books tell the stories. Have no doubt - as pretty as its streets are, as jovial as the bards may be... darkness is drawn to Solitude. DialogueSolitudeStyrr02Topic You mean Roggvir. Yes. I made an appeal to Captain Aldis. He allowed Roggvir to have a proper Nord burial, as is the custom in Solitude. DialogueSolitudeStyrrBranchTopic All my life. I practically grew up in the Hall. My father and mother were the priest and priestess of Arkay before me, you see. DialogueSolitudeStyrrBranchTopic I believe I was put here to protect this place from the darkness that pervades Solitude. DialogueSolitudeSvari02Topic Dragon? DialogueSolitudeSvari02Topic02 Really? Was it big? Did it breath fire? DialogueSolitudeSvari02Topic03 Oh, wow. I knew it. I knew they were real! I have to remember to tell papa. DialogueSolitudeSvariBranchTopic I shouldn't be. Mama says if I do, people are going to ask about uncle Roggvir. DialogueSolitudeSvariBranchTopic Maybe if I don't talk, they won't either. DialogueSolitudeSvariBranchTopic I shouldn't be. Everyone wants to ask me about mama and uncle Roggvir. DialogueSolitudeSvariBranchTopic Maybe if I don't talk, they won't either. DialogueSolitudeSybille01Topic02 Very. I helped raise him. Oh, I could not have been more proud to see Torygg on the throne. He made a fine king. A fine king... DialogueSolitudeSybille01Topic02 Have you lost all sense? We are short on guards as it is! DialogueSolitudeSybille01Topic02 If we lose half our men, the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves' Guild will have the run of the city. The Stormcloaks will be the least of our worries! DialogueSolitudeSybille01Topic02 The answer is no, I tell you! Now stop pestering me with your war-mongering! DialogueSolitudeSybille01Topic02 If we send half our guards to aid the legions, just for a few days, it could tip the scales in the Empire's favor. DialogueSolitudeSybille01Topic02 The Companions can help protect the city, and the Emperor will be in our debt. DialogueSolitudeSybille01Topic02 I haven't changed my mind, if that's what you're asking. I won't leave Whiterun defenseless, even for a day. DialogueSolitudeSybille01Topic02 Have you reconsidered my idea? DialogueSolitudeSybille01Topic03 I like to think I've aged well. I'm certainly wiser than I once was. And I know when one should speak... and when one should hold their tongue. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic01 I was, to my shame. The whole court was in attendance. I've seen much in my time, but that was a gruesome day. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02a Because Ulfric needed a symbol. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02a Someone he could defeat that represented the Empire, the White-Gold Concordat, the banning of Talos worship. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02a Torygg's father Istlod had held Skyrim together for nearly twenty-five years. When he died, Torygg became that symbol. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02b No. Even after Istlod died, the moot voted to make Torygg High King of Skyrim. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02b But Ulfric was at that moot, continually talking about Skyrim's independence in terms just shy of treason. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02b I don't think Ulfric knew how much Torygg respected him for that. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02b If Ulfric had asked Torygg directly to stand up, to declare independence, Torygg might have done it. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02c Because the Dominion is a sleeping beast that Skyrim cannot slay alone. Because many Nords are part of the Imperial army even now. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02c Because the food and resources we get from the Empire are important to our people. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02c Because even if we can't openly worship him, Talos the god was once Tiber Septim the man, and this is his Empire. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic02c And Torygg wasn't ready to let it fall apart. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic03 Ulfric showed up at the gates of Solitude requesting an audience. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic03 We thought he was here to ask Torygg to declare independence. By the time we realized Ulfric was here to challenge Torygg... it was already too late. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic03b By Nord custom, once the challenge was issued in court, Torygg had no choice but to accept. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic03b Had he not, Ulfric would have had cause to call a new moot and a new vote for High King. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic03b Torygg had some martial training, of course, but it mattered little that day. DialogueSolitudeSybille02Topic03b When Ulfric's lips parted, when he unleashed the power of the Thu'um... That Shout, that ancient and terrible tongue... ripped Torygg asunder. DialogueSolitudeSybilleBranchTopic I was a member of the court during the reign of Torygg's father. It was Torygg who appointed me to the position. DialogueSolitudeTaarie02Topic It's not an insult, just an observation. DialogueSolitudeTaarie02Topic If I were walking around with a wound, I would want you to tell me to see a doctor. DialogueSolitudeTaarie02Topic Your outfit is something of an open wound... where attire is concerned. DialogueSolitudeTaarie02Topic Not many people care, these days. The world is the worse for it. DialogueSolitudeTarrieBranchTopic Nothing at all. It's very... nice. If you want something with a little more style, however, you should see what we have available. DialogueSolitudeTarrieBranchTopic Nothing at all. It's very... nice. If you want something with a little more style, however, you should come by our shop. Radiant Raiment. DialogueSolitudeTarrieBranchTopic We could fix you right up. DialogueSolitudeTarrieBranchTopic I do. So few people possess the taste and sophistication of a proper wardrobe these days. DialogueSolitudeTarrieBranchTopic Be sure and investigate Radiant Raiment's fine selection of clothing. We have many items you'll fancy, I'm sure. DialogueSolitudeVald01Topic02 Can any man hope to be ready for a dragon? DialogueSolitudeVald01Topic02 I can but hone their skills and harden their hearts. The rest is up to the gods. DialogueSolitudeVald01Topic02 You're the Dragonborn aren't you? DialogueSolitudeVald01Topic02 I'm sort of hoping you're going to fight the dragons for us. A normal man is no match for a dragon. DialogueSolitudeVald02Topic Not my finest hour. Roggvir was a fine and honorable man. DialogueSolitudeVald02Topic02 No. I think he was entirely wrong. Roggvir's execution was justified and necessary. DialogueSolitudeVald02Topic02 Being honorable might make you a good man, but it doesn't make you right. Be a better world if it did. DialogueSolitudeVald02Topic03 Sometimes you just do what needs to be done. You don't have to hate a man to kill him. DialogueSolitudeVald02Topic03 Though, admittedly... it helps. DialogueSolitudeValdBranchTopic Their aim could be steadier, but they're battle ready. DialogueSolitudeViarmo01Topic01Continue If you want something a bard can dig into look to the dragons. DialogueSolitudeViarmo01Topic01Continue A thousand years from now Skyrim will have changed rulers dozens of times but the return of the dragons, that story is once in an era. DialogueSolitudeViarmo02Topic Not much, to be honest. Their return was a shock to us all. Giraud Gemane has some tomes about them in the library, if you're interested. DialogueSolitudeViarmoBranchTopic Not much. But as a bard, I find the whole affair depressing. DialogueSolitudeViarmoBranchTopic There are no heroes in this war. No winners to be had and no real conclusion. DialogueSolitudeViarmoBranchTopic Not much. But as a bard, I find the whole affair depressing. DialogueSolitudeViarmoBranchTopic There are no heroes in this war. Even with Ulfric here in Solitude, there are no winners to be had. No real conclusion. DialogueSolitudeVivienne01Topic01Continue And my Aunt wouldn't have to worry about her daughter. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic You really don't know? DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic He let Ulfric Stormcloak escape Solitude. Ulfric rides in, murders the High King and Roggvir lets him ride right back out. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic You really don't know? DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic He opened the gate for Ulfric Stormcloak. Ulfric rides in, defeats the High King and Roggvir was the one that let him ride right back out. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic And now the Stormcloaks have claimed the entire city. I guess we have Roggvir to thank for that as well. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Don't forget me next time you need herbs and potions. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Thanks again for finding out about my daughter. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Come by the Winking Skeever any time you want to hear a tune. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic You should think about staying the night. Corpulus keeps a clean inn. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Stick around! Still plenty of songs to sing and mead to drink. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Come back if you want to play tag. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Papa doesn't like when I talk to customers, anyway. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Remember the Winking Skeever next time you're footsore. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Need anything, you just say the word. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I was done talking anyway. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Yeah. Next time. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic May song speed you along. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic May the words of poets keep you warm. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic May all your adventures be worthy of telling. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Now you can say you've met the most talented bard in all of Skyrim. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Don't forget my name. Someday, everyone will be saying it. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Glad that distraction's over... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic We're done then? Good. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I suppose I should return to my papers... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Always good to talk to a fellow bard. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Farewell, stranger. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Stop by again, sometime. I'll sing for you. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Anytime, friend. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Always time for a fellow bard. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Oh, if you haven't heard Dean Pantea sing, you should. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic We should talk again sometime. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Always glad to talk to a bard. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Thanks for taking the time. People never want to talk to me. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Okay, I'll go now. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I'm glad I could help. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Anything I can do. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Always glad to talk to the bard who returned part of the Poetic Edda. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic It's been an honor. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I'll get back to court business, then. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Keep your sword arm strong. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Always have your shield at the ready. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Take care of your armor, and it'll take care of you. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I must return to the court. They simply can't make do without me. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Good, we've wasted enough time here. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic We'll speak again later. If we must... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I'll be sure to check "Talk to random stranger" off my list of today's tasks... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic You are free to leave. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic You are excused. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I am done with you. You may go. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Be well. Pray for Solitude and my husband. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Keep the faith. General Tullius will win this war. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic We have the utmost confidence in you and Ulfric's guiding hands. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic May the blessings of the Eight be with you. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic May the blessings of the Nine be with you. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Feel free to return to me with questions. The Blue Palace is an open forum. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Please feel welcome in the court of Solitude. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I won't forget what you've done for Solitude. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Anyone with a stout heart like yours is welcome here. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I'm proud to call a man like you friend. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I'm proud to call a woman like you friend. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Do not dishonor or attempt to harm Elisif in any way. Adhere to that rule, and you'll be fine. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I must return my attention to Elisif. If were were to lose another Jarl while I was... distracted... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Take care of yourself, and always remember: the world is ripe with people looking to spill your blood... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Stay guarded. You never know what could be out there. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic All right. Back to slicing, dicing and baking. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Back to my errands. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Don't mess anything up while you're here... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Good talking to you. Not many care to chat with the help. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Okay. I need to get back to the palace soon, anyway. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic You can catch me at the Blue Palace later, if you want to talk again. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic If Erdi caught me chatting, I'd never hear the end of it... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I guess I should be getting back to work. It was more fun talking, though. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic May Arkay bless you with a long life. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic May the light of truth keep the darkness at bay. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic It's best you leave me be. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Sure, you make your retreat and I'll make mine. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Keep your head about you. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Just watch yourself. You don't want to meet me on the job. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Tell these Horkers to set me free. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Leave me be. I'm no harm here. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Keep my men in your prayers. They'll need them if they don't shape up. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Stay strong. The Eight willing, we'll win this war. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Sure, whatever you say. Bye. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic You should speak to my daughter, Evette. She's the brains of the family. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Always good talking to you... friend. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Thanks for talking to me. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic For a stranger, you're not so bad. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Blessed are those who worship, for they know true grace. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Keep the faith. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic The strong and honorable always carry the blessing of the Eight. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic The strong and honorable always carry the blessing of the Nine. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Your rewards in life will match the strength of your faith. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic The Temple of Divines is always open for worshipers. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Take care, and go with the blessings of the Eight. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Take care, and go with the blessings of the Nine. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I really need to get back to planning my wedding.. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Now if you'll excuse me. The East Empire Company has several accounts, and it's up to me to balance them. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Perhaps I'll be seeing more of you. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Please come back if you're ever in need of fletching supplies. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Good to talk to a fellow traveler. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Stop back anytime. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Thank you for helping my Aunt, earlier. I'll see you around. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic People to see and places to go, huh? Later, then. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I understand, you're an important person. I'll catch up with you later. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I should make sure Svari is okay. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Addvar won't sell anything if I don't go and check up on him. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Come back to Bits and Pieces anytime. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Make sure to recommend us to your associates. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Return anytime you need arms or armor. My forge never rests. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Keep safe. And always wear your armor. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Finally... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Thank the gods for the end of yet another pointless conversation... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Thank you for your patronage. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I do hope you'll remain in Solitude. This city could do with some new blood. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Remember Radiant Raiment when you need a change of attire. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic May you sword feast on Stormcloak flesh. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Good hunting. Go kill some bandits for me. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic If you're off to fight, talk to Beirand before you go. His armor is well forged and dependable. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic These are troubled times. Be on your guard out there. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic May the gods speed your journeys... and steady your sword arm. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Come back when you figure out how to spend money. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I'll always have fruit to buy. Until it goes rotten. Then... I won't. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Good luck out there. It seems like a tough time to be wandering Skyrim. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Stay warm and keep sober. It's the two things I know for sure will make life better. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic If you're heading up to Solitude you should stop to check out the view on your way. It's a good one. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Carriages to all the cities in Skyrim. Don't forget us. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic A man like you should own a horse. Go speak with my husband. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic A woman like you should own a horse. Go speak with my husband. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Plenty of chores to do... DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic Pa always says good men need few words. DialogueSolitudeVivienne02Topic I want to check on Grani, one of our horses. Goodbye, stranger. DialogueSolitudeVivienne03Topic Most people head over to the Winking Skeever. DialogueSolitudeVivienne03Topic If you're not interested in music or drink, you can at least talk to Corpulus. He can fill you in on any of the latest gossip. DialogueSolitudeVivienne03Topic Most people head over to the Winking Skeever. DialogueSolitudeVivienne03Topic If you're not interested in music or drink, you can at least talk to Corpulus. He can fill you in on any of the latest gossip. DialogueSolitudeVivienneBranchTopic Perhaps, but necessary. As you know my cousin, Fura, died out there fighting for us. She wouldn't have had to, if it weren't for Roggvir. DialogueSolitudeVivienneBranchTopic Perhaps, but necessary. My cousin, Fura, is somewhere out there in Skyrim right now, fighting Ulfric Stormcloak and his damned insurrectionists. DialogueSolitudeVivienneBranchTopic She wouldn't have to be there at all, if it weren't for Roggvir. DialogueSoljundsSinkholePerthAccept You're joking, right? Those bone-walkers will tear you limb from limb. DialogueSoljundsSinkholePerthAccept But if you want to get yourself killed, go ahead. DialogueSoljundsSinkholePerthChoice02 Fine, but there's a whole crypt of draugr underneath the mine. DialogueSoljundsSinkholePerthChoice02 We're not going in there until the Jarl's men come to clear them out, so I wouldn't go down there. DialogueSoljundsSinkholePerthChoice02 We're going to need an army to clear out that crypt. DialogueSoljundsSinkholePerthReject Good to hear. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic No, and before you ask, it's not for sale. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic Don't let it get you down. Indaryn will eventually tire of picking on you and move on to someone else. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic And do what? Losing a job from the Black-Briar family would make me a marked man. No one would ever take me on anywhere else. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic Maybe it's time you quit then. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic I can't take it anymore, Tythis. Indaryn keeps pushing me around and I'm not even doing anything wrong. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic You're not going to goad me into a fight so I'll get kicked out, Grelka. Eat your food and leave me in peace. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic Or perhaps you should crawl back into whatever swamp you came from, lizard man. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic There's no need to be rude, Grelka. If you don't care for Argonians, then perhaps you should take residence somewhere else. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic Hey, greenskin... close your mouth. Some of us are trying to eat over here. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic You have a kind heart; much too kind for Riften. Don't worry about me, I'll be just fine. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic Are you sure that's the real reason? It wouldn't have anything to do with others making an Argonian unwelcome, because if it is... DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic The cold stone, the dampness... it suits me, Svana. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic Madesi, why don't you just take a bed here? There's no need to sleep in Beggar's Row. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic If he wasn't a Black-Briar, I'd march right over to the jail and teach Sibbi some manners... but then I suppose I'd end up like Wulfur. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic No, it was Svidi's brother, Wulfur. She's in hiding now. Somewhere far from here I'd suspect. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic Come to think of it, I haven't seen Svidi in a while. Wait... he didn't... DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic They say... well, they say he murdered someone. Something to do with Svidi. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitialBranchTopic Svana, I heard that Sibbi was put in jail. What happened? DialogueStonehillsPacturInitResponse1 I'm just protecting Bryling's investment. She's the owner, even though we're the ones here doing all the work. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitResponse1 She's already come down hard on us for missing shipments. Likely to do it again, since we're late. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitResponse2 Well, no. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitResponse2 But that's not the point. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitResponse2 Bryling owns the mine, and she's not selling. We make her some decent coin running this place. Keeps her living well in Solitude. DialogueStonehillsPacturInitResponse2 At least, when we can get shipments to her. We're late on the last one. I expect her to start breathin' fire any moment now. DialogueStonehillsPacturLocationBranchTopic Don't have to tell me twice. But then, I'm not the one that buried iron under these mountains. DialogueWCUragElderScrollFollowUp1 I would be honored. Beyond honored to have such a thing here at the College. DialogueWCUragElderScrollFollowUp1 This opens up entire new realms of research for us. Oh, if only Septimus were here to see this! DialogueWCUragElderScrollFollowUp1 Thank you. Please, take this. It can't quite compare to an Elder Scroll, but still. You will be remembered for generations for this. DialogueWCUragElderScrollResponse1 You... Really? An Elder Scroll? DialogueWCUragElderScrollTopic Very funny. Did Enthir put you up to this? DialogueWCUragElderSrollResponse2 Wait. Are you... Are you serious? DialogueWCUragElderSrollResponse2 You have an Elder Scroll? You? DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordAccept Thanks. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordAccept You cannot prevail against me. I will outlast you... mortal! DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordAccept I knew it... Mercer sent you to kill me! Guards, there's an intruder! DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordAccept In honor of your service in battle, I am hereby granting you permission to purchase property in Whiterun. Talk to my steward if you're interested. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordAccept In honor of your service in battle, I am hereby granting you permission to purchase property in Markarth. Talk to my steward if you're interested. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordAccept In honor of your service in battle, I am hereby granting you permission to purchase property in Riften. Talk to my steward if you're interested. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordAccept In honor of your service in battle, I am hereby granting you permission to purchase property in Windhelm. Talk to my steward if you're interested. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordAccept Just... leave here! Leave us alone! DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordAccept Begone from here! Get out of this orphanage! Help!Somebody help me! DialogueWhiterunAdrianneSwordReject Very well then. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneTopicsBranch1Topic Hmph. Plenty. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneTopicsBranch1Topic I'd say we're prosperous enough. Most folk don't go hungry, if they're willing to work hard. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneTopicsBranch1Topic The city's ruled by the Jarl up in Dragonsreach. That's the fortress, there, up on the tall hill. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneTopicsBranch1Topic But you're probably more interested in Jorrvaskr, mead hall of the Companions. Their deeds of war and valor are... legendary. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneTopicsSonsTopic Well, not a great deal, no. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneTopicsSonsTopic But I do less business than I used to. The Stormcloaks don't like buying from anyone that isn't a Nord. DialogueWhiterunAdrianneTopicsSonsTopic If I wasn't married to Ulfberth, I'd be out of business. DialogueWhiterunAmrenInvisBranch1Topic No, I'm a Redguard. My family hails from the Imperial Province. Ah, but I left home when I was just a lad. Been wandering ever since. DialogueWhiterunAmrenTopicsBranch1Topic No, I'm not. Looks like we've got something in common, then. DialogueWhiterunAmrenTopicsBranch1Topic Hmph. No, friend, that I'm not. But I get along with your kind well enough. DialogueWhiterunAmrenTopicsBranch1Topic Ha! And neither are you, eh? Good to see another Redguard. I like to think we bring a little heat to this frozen wasteland. DialogueWhiterunAmrenTopicsBranch1Topic Enough... enough... DialogueWhiterunAnoriathTopicsBranch1Topic Oh, yes. Hunting is my great passion. DialogueWhiterunAnoriathTopicsBranch1Topic That's why my brother and I opened a shop to sell hunting supplies. It's the Drunken Huntsman, down by the main gate. DialogueWhiterunAnoriathTopicsBranch1Topic He tends the store, and I've got this stall. DialogueWhiterunArcadiaTopicsBranch1Topic Of a sort. I don't have formal training in the Restoration school, but... something just as good. DialogueWhiterunArcadiaTopicsBranch1Topic Within these walls, I have all that I need to brew a potion for nearly any ailment. DialogueWhiterunArcadiaTopicsBranch1Topic If I had a Septim for every case of Rockjoint or Witbane I've cured since I opened this shop, I'd be a rich woman indeed. DialogueWhiterunArcadiaTopicsBranch2Topic Why, because I'm a proud citizen of the Empire? Because the Stormcloaks only want Nords in Skyrim? DialogueWhiterunArcadiaTopicsBranch2Topic The Stormcloaks can rot in Oblivion for all I care. I've lived in this city for twenty years. Twenty! DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicsBranch1Topic Interesting, to say the least. What with all that's been going on. DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicsBranch1Topic On the one hand, supplies are harder to come by, since fewer traders are traveling the roads these days. DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicsBranch1Topic But on the other, the scarcity of supplies has led to some, well, "elevated" prices. DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicsBranch1Topic All that matters is that I have what you need. And it's worth every septim. DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicsBranch2Topic Isn't it obvious? Why, the wonderful weather and hospitable people, of course! DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicsBranch2Topic Not to mention my great fondness for dragons and petty political power struggles. DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicsBranch2Topic Ah, but without a doubt, the most compelling feature of this frozen wasteland is the volley of inane questions leveled at me on a regular basis. DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicSonsTopic Oh no, not at all. DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicSonsTopic I simply locked the doors, hid beneath my counter and prayed to the Divines that my life would be spared and my shop wouldn't burn to the ground. DialogueWhiterunBelethorTopicSonsTopic But other than that, everything was business as usual. Now, do you have any other painfully obvious things to say? DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsDragonsTopic And we've done as much as we can to prepare for that. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsDragonsTopic But remember, Whiterun is home to the Companions. Any dragon that comes here will get more than he's bargained for, I think. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic The worship of Talos outlawed, and now the Thalmor come to conduct their witch-hunts while the Empire stands idly by. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic What? Speak your meaning plainly, old man. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic Bold words, Battle-Born. While you're meting out justice to traitors, are you going to deal with the Emperor, as well? DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic I've heard you Gray-Manes are collaborating with the Stormcloaks. If I see any such treachery, I'll deal with you myself. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic I'll remember that when the Stormcloaks liberate the city. No amount of money will protect you then, Battle-Born. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic You won't be laughing when the Thalmor come to root out Stormcloak sympathizers. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic I've already put in a claim to the land and property you'll forfeit when you're found to be a collaborator. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic I'm surprised you had the wits to notice, Olfrid, what with your nose buried so far up the Emperor's backside. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic Someone's been pilfering crops from my farm. If I find out it's one of your kin, I'll see the culprit rot in prison. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic Don't threaten me, boy. You're either a Nord who respects our traditions, or you're not. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic If not, it isn't me you'll have to answer to, but the people of this city and this hold. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic I warn you, Gray-Mane, you are treading on dangerous ground. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic Do your loyalties lie with the Thalmor, then? DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic I'm no happier about this than you are, but I don't want the see the Thalmor rounding up people in the streets and throwing them in prison. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic A law made at the tip of an Aldmeri sword, aye. A sword stained red with Nord blood. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic Is this what our people fought and died for? To forsake our most beloved ancestor and divine? DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic I won't say it again, Vignar - Talos worship is forbidden. It's the Empire's law, and we're still a part of the Empire. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic Well, it could be worse. The former steward, Proventus, kept very detailed records. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic But yes, it's been a lot of work. Vignar doesn't want the change to disrupt the lives of his people. They've got enough to deal with already. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic Don't lecture me about treachery, whelp. You don't know the meaning of the word. DialogueWhiterunBrillTopicsWorkTopic How many Nords died to save the Empire? And what was our reward? DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic You've got no idea. Half the men in Whiterun have proposed to me. Some were even single. DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic They'll never understand. No amount of flowers or honeyed words are going to change my mind. DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic Right now, all that matters is my daughter Mila. No man's going to get between me and my little girl. DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic Now it is your turn. DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic Master Borri. DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic Master Wulfgar will demonstrate Whirlwind Sprint. Then it will be your turn. DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic You must hear the Word within yourself before you can project it into a Thu'um. DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic Wuld... DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic Nah... DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicsBranch1Topic Kest... DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicSonsTopic No more than I was already getting. DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicSonsTopic Four of the guards have already decided they're in love with me. Two of the guards got into a fight over me at the tavern. DialogueWhiterunCarlottaTopicSonsTopic At least Balgruuf's men bathed regularly. These Stormcloaks always smell of ale and sweat, and their breath reeks. DialogueWhiterunDanicaTopicsBranch2Topic Indeed. The temple here in the city is my charge. DialogueWhiterunDanicaTopicsBranch2Topic The goddess's divine blessings have no doubt helped make Whiterun a thriving and prosperous city. DialogueWhiterunDanicaTopicsBranch2Topic After all, it is she who brings rain to our crops and fair weather on the harvest days. DialogueWhiterunDanicaTopicsBranch3Topic Somewhat, yes. At first it seemed a distant thing, heard only in the idle speech of guards and traders. DialogueWhiterunDanicaTopicsBranch3Topic When the wounded soldiers began to return from battle, I did what I could to help them. DialogueWhiterunDanicaTopicsBranch3Topic As more of the sick and injured came to the temple, my work as a healer became more important than my duties as a priestess. DialogueWhiterunDanicaTopicsBranch3Topic I wish only an end to the fighting, so that I can tend to the temple once more. DialogueWhiterunElrindirTopicsBranch1Topic Yes, I hear that question often. DialogueWhiterunElrindirTopicsBranch1Topic My brother Anoriath and I came up with it one night after consuming... rather too much mead. DialogueWhiterunElrindirTopicsBranch1Topic After our drinks, we went out for a moonlight hunt. We got separated, and in his drunken state my brother mistook me for a deer. DialogueWhiterunElrindirTopicsBranch1Topic He shot an arrow that pierced my... well, my rump. After such a memorable adventure, we knew we had the name for our shop. DialogueWhiterunElrindirTopicsBranch2Topic Try Hulda, the innkeeper at the Bannered Mare. It's just up the road, near the market. DialogueWhiterunElrindirTopicsBranch2Topic You should check in at Dragonsreach, too. There's so much going on these days, the Jarl or his Steward might have need of help. DialogueWhiterunElrindirTopicsBranch2Topic Try Olfina, the new innkeeper at the Bannered Mare. It's just up the road, near the market. DialogueWhiterunElrindirTopicsBranch2Topic You should check in at Dragonsreach, too. There's so much going on these days, the Jarl or his Steward might have need of help. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch1Topic The Skyforge? Aye, my clan-fathers have worked it since the first Gray-Manes came to Whiterun. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch1Topic Skyforge Steel is all the Companions will use, for good reason. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch3Topic Why? Who says I have to be? DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch3Topic Skyforge Steel is my art and honor. The Companions need the best, so they come to me. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch4Topic Huh? DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch4Topic You know who I am, fool. So why you askin'? DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch4Topic You blind, boy? I'm a blacksmith. Any half-wit could see that. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch4Topic You blind, girl? I'm a blacksmith. Any half-wit could see that. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch4Topic I don't think so. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch5Topic By Ysmir, are you thick, or just too new to know better? DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch5Topic The Companions are the oldest, most honored band of warriors in Skyrim. Whiterun was built around their hall, Jorrvaskr. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch5Topic Don't reckon they can use you. But stranger things have happened. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsBranch5Topic By Ysmir's beard, I ain't one for humor. You know who the Companions are. So quit your asking. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsCitySwapTopic I'm sure my brother Vignar is, since they made him Jarl after throwing Balgruuf out. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsCitySwapTopic Comes the end of the day, Imperials and Stormcloaks ain't much different. DialogueWhiterunEorlundTopicsCitySwapTopic Both sides want to tell you how you should live your life. Guess I'd rather hear it from a real Nord than some Emperor down south. DialogueWhiterunFarengarTopicsBranch1Topic Sadly, no. My work affords me few opportunities for such an adventure. DialogueWhiterunFarengarTopicsBranch1Topic Perhaps some hero will bring one to Dragonsreach, like old Olaf One-Eye once did. DialogueWhiterunFarengarTopicsBranch1Topic What a fascinating conversation that would be! DialogueWhiterunFarengarTopicsBranch2Topic If I said that was a tedious question, would you be smart enough to know what I meant? Probably not. DialogueWhiterunFarengarTopicsBranch2Topic As long as I'm left alone to pursue my research, I don't care who gives the orders. DialogueWhiterunFarengarTopicsBranch2Topic Now, I'm a busy man and your pointless questions are boring me terribly. Good day. DialogueWhiterunFarengarTopicsBranch3Topic I'll put it simply, so you'll understand. I advise the Jarl in matters of magic. DialogueWhiterunFarengarTopicsBranch3Topic If the hold is faced with any threats or mysteries of a magical nature, I am called upon to explain things and suggest a course of action. DialogueWhiterunFarengarTopicsBranch3Topic Hopefully that answer will satisfy you. Good day. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Sub1 Head up the steps from the market an' look to your right. Can't miss it. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Sub2 Don't even get me started on that lot. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Sub2 They put on airs like they're somethin' special. Sure, they've got money, but they ain't got a shred of honor between 'em. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Sub2 Gray-Mane. Now that's a name fills you with pride. We've got roots in Whiterun. We've got history. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Topic I can tell you're new around here, askin' a question like that. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Topic My husband Eorlund tends the Skyforge up at Jorrvaskr, the Companions mead hall. There's no finer smith in the nine holds. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Topic You should ask him about his work. It's the only subject that'll get him talking. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Topic Well, that and maybe those stuck-up, dung-sniffing Battle-Borns. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Topic Curse you for bringing up that bitter memory. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Topic Not long ago it was my husband Eorlund. There was no finer smith in the nine holds. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch1Topic Now he's dead and gone and the Skyforge of Jorrvaskr lies cold. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch2Topic Pleased enough, I suppose. At least they appreciate the ways and traditions of the Nord people. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsBranch2Topic Can't say I ever much liked the idea of the Empire telling us what to do an' how to do it. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsMS09PostTopic No, nor do I expect to. Would be too dangerous for now. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsMS09PostTopic It's enough for me to know that he's out there somewhere, and not locked up like an animal in a cage. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsMS09PostTopic No, nor do I expect to. Would be too dangerous for now. DialogueWhiterunFraliaTopicsMS09PostTopic It's enough for me to know that they're out there somewhere, and together again. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopBranchTopic Halt! City's closed with the dragons about. Official business only. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopBranchTopic Oh, of course you want me to leave. Just waiting for me to turn my back. So you can have all the glory for yourself! DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopBranchTopic Sulla, let's just get out of here. Hasn't there been enough death? DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopBranchTopic No! Blackreach was to be my discovery! DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopBranchTopic Sulla look, the passage is open, wait... there's someone down there! DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopBranchTopic Ha! I thought as much. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopBribe Welcome to Whiterun, friend. Go right on in. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopHellos Go on in. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopHellos Oh, you again. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopHellos Don't cause any trouble in the city. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopHellos You're clear to enter. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopHellos Move along. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopIntimidate Or else what? You think you can stand against the entire Whiterun city guard? The gate's closed. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopNevermind Safe travels. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopNote Riverwood's in danger, too? You'd better go on in. You'll find the Jarl in Dragonsreach, at the top of the hill. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopNote The Jarl will definitely want to talk to you. You'll find him in Dragonsreach, at the top of the hill. DialogueWhiterunGuardGateStopPersuade Fine, but we'll be keeping an eye on you. DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch1Topic Hello, my friend! If you seek knowledge about mighty Talos, you have most certainly come to the right person. DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch1Topic In mortal life, Talos was a Nord possessed of unmatched tactical skill, limitless wisdom and the power to see into men's hearts. DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch1Topic Talos mastered the power of the Voice, and with it he united the lands of men into a great Empire. DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch1Topic In southern lands, he was known by the name Tiber Septim. Here in Skyrim, we honor him by his proper Nord name. DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch1Topic So great was his reign in life, when he ascended to the heavens he was made lord of the Divines. DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch1Topic If you want to know more, I'm sure you can find any number of tomes on the subject. DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch2Topic Because the so-called Emperor is a coward! That's right, I said coward! DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch2Topic Oh yes! He agreed to banish the worship of Talos at the tip of an Aldmeri sword. They called it the "White-Gold Concordat." DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch2Topic Well, I call it blasphemy! A true son of the Empire would never have turned his back on our greatest hero, not at any price. DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch2Topic Well, let me tell you something, friend. Cyrodiil is a long way from here, and in Skyrim, we will never forsake mighty Talos! DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsBranch3Topic Let them come! I have no fear, for Talos is my ally and I am his prophet. His word is upon my lips, his voice in my throat. DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsCitySwapTopic With open arms, with cheers and song, with joy in my heart and tears in my eyes! DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsCitySwapTopic Praise be to Talos, this is a glorious day for Whiterun and for all Skyrim! Our liberators have come at last! DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsStormcloaks Oh yes, many times. But mighty Talos was my keeper, my shield against the heresy of the south! DialogueWhiterunHeimskrTopicsStormcloaks If not for Talos, and a few modest bribes paid to the right jailors, why, I would not be standing before you today, resplendent in my faith! DialogueWhiterunHuldaTopic1Topic Well, the Stormcloak guards drink a lot more than the Imperials did, so I've been making more money lately. DialogueWhiterunHuldaTopic1Topic On the other hand, they're a violent bunch. Every night a fight breaks out and I end up with a smashed chair or a broken table. DialogueWhiterunHuldaTopic1Topic So, not much has changed, really. DialogueWhiterunIdolafIntroTopic Gray-Mane or Battle-Born? DialogueWhiterunIdolafTopicsBattleBornTopic Then I say well met, friend. I could tell you were a sharp one the moment I laid eyes on you. DialogueWhiterunIdolafTopicsDecideTopic Got stones in your ears? I asked what side you're on, Gray-Mane or Battle-Born! DialogueWhiterunIdolafTopicsExplain New in town, huh? Whiterun's got two clans, both old and both respected. DialogueWhiterunIdolafTopicsExplain Difference is, the Gray-Manes turned their backs on the Empire and we Battle-Borns stayed loyal. DialogueWhiterunIdolafTopicsExplain So I'll ask again, Gray-Mane or Battle-Born? DialogueWhiterunIdolafTopicsGrayManeTopic Then you're either a Stormcloak sympathizer or a fool. Either way, you're no friend of mine. DialogueWhiterunidolafTopicsNoDecide Sooner or later, we all have to choose a side. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch1Topic Balgruuf and I share a battle bond. We met as youths, and forged our friendship in the fires of war. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch1Topic When he became Jarl, I insisted on serving as his protector. He had no cause to argue. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch1Topic Gods, you are curious. Almost... dangerously so. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch2Topic I am charged with protecting the Jarl from any and all threats. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch2Topic Powerful men have many enemies. More so, in times of strife. So you can imagine the dangers. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch2Topic Oh yes, there have been attempts on the Jarl's life. More than one would-be assassin has met his end at the tip of my blade. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch3Topic Take your pick. Dragons, Stormcloak assassins, ambitious and unscrupulous nobles... Sometimes I think his own children want him dead. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch3Topic And those are just the physical threats. Assaults on his sanity are another matter entirely. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch3Topic Every day, he deals with obsequious functionaries and incompetent bureaucrats. Sadly, I'm not allowed to eliminate them. DialogueWhiterunIrilethTopicsBranch3Topic Well, not yet, anyway. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic1BranchTopic Mutual advantage! Any fool can see that. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic1BranchTopic For centuries, we have benefited from the Empire's protection, and prosperous trade with the south. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic1BranchTopic In exchange, the people of Cyrodiil sleep peacefully, knowing their northern border is guarded by the fiercest warriors in all Tamriel. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic4BranchTopic With good planning and constant vigilance. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic4BranchTopic Even now, my court wizard, Farengar, continues his research into ways we might drive back these terrors. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic4BranchTopic We must also have ample reserves of water to combat the fires that will surely spread after an attack. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic4BranchTopic But our greatest weapon? Courage. For if we cannot kill the beast, we must at least have the tenacity to drive it back. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic4BranchTopic Until brave heroes step forward to destroy these monsters, that is the best we can do. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic4BranchTopic With good planning and constant vigilance. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic4BranchTopic We must have ample reserves of water to combat the fires that will surely spread after an attack. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic4BranchTopic But our greatest weapon? Courage. For if we cannot kill the beast, we must at least have the tenacity to drive it back. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic4BranchTopic Until brave heroes step forward to destroy these monsters, that is the best we can do. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic5BranchTopic If the gods are merciful, they've found a safe place to hide in the city. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic5BranchTopic I hope Vignar doesn't find them. He'll ask a king's ransom, I'm sure. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic6BranchTopic If it's the war you're referring to, I'm on the side of Whiterun. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic6BranchTopic No doubt General Tullius and his friends in the Empire will tell you that I owe them my loyalty, and perhaps I do. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic6BranchTopic Ulfric Stormcloak would say that I owe my allegiance to the Nord people as they fight for Skyrim's independence. Perhaps this is also true. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic6BranchTopic The day might come when I am forced to draw my sword for one side or the other. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic6BranchTopic But that day has not come yet. DialogueWhiterunJarlTopic7BranchTopic No doubt he thought it was the only way to make his point. And also because he knew he could. DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic Well met, kinsman. What brings you to Whiterun? DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic Well met, traveler. What brings you to Whiterun? DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic And so, we must each one of us, continue to fight this insurrection, lest our fallen brothers have died for naught! DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic ...You! Why? DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic But Ulfric will not stop here. No, he will continue to strike out against any true Nord who remains faithful to the Empire. DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic He will continue to sow discord and chaos wherever he can. DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic The citizens of Whiterun are forever in your debt! DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic In defeating these Stormcloak traitors, you have proven the hollowness of their cause and the fullness of your hearts. DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic They already sing of your valor and skill! The halls of Sovngarde are no doubt ringing with your praises! DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic Revel in your victory here today, even as the gods revel in your honor! DialogueWhiterunJonIntroBranchTopic Everyone, on me! The Jarl wishes to speak! DialogueWhiterunJonResponse1 Ah, so it's gold you're after, then? DialogueWhiterunJonResponse1 You need only ask about. Plenty o' folk in Whiterun with too much fat and gold to be bothered doing anything for themselves. DialogueWhiterunJonResponse2 Truly? DialogueWhiterunJonResponse2 Ha! By Shor, this city could use more like you. DialogueWhiterunJonResponse2 Best head up to Dragonsreach, then, and see the Jarl. He's lord of Whiterun, and can set you on the path. DialogueWhiterunJonResponse3 A pity. And words I hear too often. DialogueWhiterunJonResponse3 But there's no shame in it. One of them dragons comes callin' in Whiterun, the place'll go up like tinder. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic1BranchTopic Aye, that I do. Have all my life. We Battle-Borns have been here since the beginning. Along with the Gray-Manes. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic1BranchTopic Our families been close as kin for generations. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic1BranchTopic But Ulfric Stormcloak's uprising has divided us. Now seems we can scarce look at each other without comin' to blows. Petty and foolish, that. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic1BranchTopic They're sayin' dragons have returned to Skyrim. Now that there, that's a real problem. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic2BranchTopic Ain't sure if they're takin' on new members, but you should talk to the Companions. They're over in their hall, Jorrvaskr. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic2BranchTopic If by "work" you mean "testing your steel in bloody battle." DialogueWhiterunJonTopic3BranchTopic Ha! The most important question of all, that one. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic3BranchTopic You'll want the Bannered Mare. See old Hulda, she'll keep you swimmin' in mead. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic3BranchTopic But mind he bard, Mikael. Poncy little milk drinker, that one. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic3BranchTopic Ha! The most important question of all, that one. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic3BranchTopic You'll want the Bannered Mare. See old Hulda, she'll keep you swimmin' in mead. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic3BranchTopic Ha! The most important question of all, that one. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic3BranchTopic You'll want the Bannered Mare. See Olfina, she'll keep you swimmin' in mead. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic Man gives bards a bad name. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic We Nords have a long history as warrior poets. I am proud to count myself among them. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic But Mikael... He sings only for gold and the affections of wenches. He dishonors our traditions. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic Dovahkiin, you call yourself? Arrogant mortal. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic Bahloki nahkip sillesejoor. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic I will feast on your soul in Sovngarde! DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic You are no match for me, joor! DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic Paarthurnax is weak. I am strong. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic My time has come again. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic Maar saraan ko Sovngarde. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic You are no match for me, Dovahkiin. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic I have feasted on many greater than you. DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic You will pay for your defiance! DialogueWhiterunJonTopic4BranchTopic My teeth to your neck, Dovahkiin! DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic All that effort, and you just kill her. You've ruined everything. DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic Well, well. Looks like one of the Dark Brotherhood rats escaped its burning nest. I can fix that. DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic To arms, brothers! It's the assassin! DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic The Dark Brotherhood is dead... and so are you! DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic You want the Emperor? You'll have to get through us! DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic You'll never reach the Emperor! Not while I'm standing! DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic It all ends here, assassin! DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic You'll never leave this ship alive, cutthroat! DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me. DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic We're all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief. DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic You there. You and me - we shouldn't be here. It's these Stormcloaks the Empire wants. DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and be halfway to Hammerfell. DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there. DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic Farewell, Nightingale. See to it the Key stays this time, won't you? DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic You started this war, plunged Skyrim into chaos, and now the Empire is going to put you down, and restore the peace. DialogueWhiterunKematuMS08FailBranchTopic (muffled grunts) DialogueWhiterunMikaelBardTopicTopic There's a whole college up in Solitude where they teach the arts. Song. Lute-playing. Poetry. DialogueWhiterunMikaelBardTopicTopic I studied there myself. Had to leave over a misunderstanding with a headmistress. Well, more a misunderstanding with her husband. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch1Topic Battle-Born is a name out of legend, sung in the songs of old and heard in deeds of valor for a hundred generations. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch1Topic "For Clan Battle-Born!" they cry in the mead halls. "First into the fray and last to quit their ale!" DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch1Topic We've got honor. Wealth and titles, too. Aye, and buxom women to warm your bed on a cold Skyrim night. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch1Topic Now if that don't answer your question, then no words will. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch2Topic Uncivilized, pelt-wearing axe-draggers. It's a wonder they don't still live in a cave like those ancestors they keep boasting about. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch2Topic It's true the Vignar Gray-Mane and his lot are one of Whiterun's oldest and, depending on who you ask, most respected clans. I don't dispute that. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch2Topic But it's one thing to take pride in your lineage, and another to cling blindly to the past. What they call honor and tradition, I call ignorance. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch3Topic Money, you laggard! What else? It always comes down to coin. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch3Topic The Gray-Manes have deep roots in Whiterun, but so do we. Difference is, we're rich, and Vignar hates it. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch3Topic Oh, and they hate it, too. All their big talk of pride and honor, and what have they got to show for it? Beggar's rags and stale bread. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch3Topic We've got the same pride, the same honor, and we've got wealth. No wonder they envy us. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch4Topic Of course they have! I've made no secret of my loyalty to the Empire. I'm no coward. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch4Topic Twice I've been robbed, and good luck getting any kind of justice from Vignar now that he's the Jarl. He probably told the Stormcloaks to do it. DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch4Topic Lately, they've been threatening to send my whole family into exile if we're caught collaborating with the Empire. They think we're spies! DialogueWhiterunOlfridTopicsBranch4Topic Needless to say, these rebels and I have no love for each other. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch1Topic Well, there are three of them. Arranged in three tiers, as you may have noticed. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch1Topic The Plains District is so named because it's the closest of the three to the plains that surround the city. The inn and marketplace are found there. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch1Topic Most of the city's residents live in the Wind District, which is the middle of the three. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch1Topic Dragonsreach occupies the highest, which we call the Cloud District. From here, the Jarl can see all that goes on within his city. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch2Topic Ah, splendid! Our fine city has a proud history, and I'm happy to share what I know. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch2Topic The history of Whiterun begins with Jorrvaskr, the hall of the Companions. For a long time, it was the only building on the mountain. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch2Topic As time passed, a thriving community sprang up around Jorrvaskr, as was common with mead halls. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch2Topic Today, Whiterun is the jewel of Skyrim. I can say without boast that is the greatest city in all the holds. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch3Topic That is an old tale, but well known to those of us who serve in the keep. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch3Topic Long ago, there lived a mighty hero of the Nords. Olaf One-Eye. Olaf did battle with a fearsome dragon named Numinex. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch3Topic The struggle between Olaf and the dragon culminated in a mighty duel atop Mount Anthor, with Olaf the victor. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch3Topic Olaf returned in triumph to Whiterun. By his decree, the city's keep was rebuilt as a prison for Numinex. DialogueWhiterunProventusTopicsBranch3Topic And so, from that time until this, our great keep has been called "Dragonsreach." DialogueWhiterunSkulvarTopic1Topic None of 'em's older than nine, and the youngest is six. DialogueWhiterunSkulvarTopic1Topic Now, the horse I got for sale is seven years old, but in fine health. She's got a lot of spirit, that one. DialogueWhiterunSkulvarTopic1Topic We've taken to calling her Queen Alfsigr, or just Allie for short. I expect you can name her anything you like once she's yours. DialogueWhiterunTempleIdleChatter The pain is so great... DialogueWhiterunTempleIdleChatter Unghhh... oww... DialogueWhiterunTempleIdleChatter I can't bear it... make it stop... DialogueWhiterunTempleIdleChatter So sick... can hardly stand it... DialogueWhiterunTempleIdleChatter The fever... my body burns... DialogueWhiterunTempleIdleChatter Ohh... ughh... DialogueWhiterunTopic2BranchTopic Ulfric Stormcloak's head on a pike. DialogueWhiterunTopic2BranchTopic Do you think Ulfric really cares about Skyrim's independence, or the welfare or its people? I promise you, he doesn't. DialogueWhiterunTopic2BranchTopic He's nothing more than a barbarian renegade, whose lust for power has cost the lives of countless innocents. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch1Topic Adrianne. At her forge, just outside. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch1Topic Place is named after her. "Warmaiden's." It's a childhood nickname, given by her father. What I hear, she was playing with swords even back then. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch1Topic Anyway, our wares are strong and the prices fair. What else matters? DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch1Topic Since Adrianne's death, I've had to buy them from the Khajiit caravans. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch1Topic Tried making some myself, but I'm no good with the forge and anvil. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch1Topic Anyway, our wares are strong and the prices fair. What else matters? DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch2Topic That'll be the Jarl, Balgruuf the Greater. He's an honorable enough man. Never done wrong by me or my kin. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch2Topic Things are tough for him now, I'd wager. What with the fighting, and the dragons. But Balgruuf's a tough old Nord. He can handle it. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch2Topic Hrongar became the Jarl when his brother Balgruuf, who had the job before him, was murdered. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch2Topic Balgruuf was an even-tempered man, but his brother's a hot-blooded war-monger who wants to settle everything with a blade. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch2Topic If you've got some business with Hrongar, mind you stay on his good side. The palace dungeon's filled with folk who roused his temper. DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch2Topic Vignar the Revered is the Jarl in Whiterun. I guess he was a great hero once, because the Companions all call him "Vignar the Revered." DialogueWhiterunUlfberthTopicsBranch2Topic Is Vignar too old to be Jarl? It's a fair question. If he's grown infirm and is losing his wits, where does that leave the people of Whiterun? DialogueWhiterunUthgerdTopicsBranch1Topic The heat of battle is the fire that forges the strongest blades. It's an old Nord proverb. DialogueWhiterunUthgerdTopicsBranch1Topic That, and a true Nord never misses a chance to test her worth. DialogueWhiterunUthgerdTopicsBranch2Topic You been talking to those Companions? DialogueWhiterunUthgerdTopicsBranch2Topic "Too hot-headed," they cried. Weak, pathetic cowards, the lot of them! DialogueWhiterunUthgerdTopicsBranch3Topic It wasn't my fault! I told them over and over that it was an accident! DialogueWhiterunUthgerdTopicsBranch3Topic They wanted me to prove my worth, so they threw me up against a young whelp of a lad, hardly old enough to grow his first chin-hairs. DialogueWhiterunUthgerdTopicsBranch3Topic I guess they thought a woman wasn't strong enough to hurt him. I didn't mean for him to die! Why would I want that? I just... lost control. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsBattleBornTopic Aye, they're an old clan like ours, but they cast their lot with the Empire when the uprising began. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsBattleBornTopic Olfrid Battle-Born made his money from farming, an' got himself some new friends among the Empire's nobles. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsBattleBornTopic Now he's in the Emperor's pocket like the rest of 'em, with no regard for honor an' tradition. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsFeudTopic Aye, we used to be fast friends, though it was long ago. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsFeudTopic We were two of the city's oldest an' most-respected clans, an' we could trace our histories all the way back to Ysgramor's companions. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsFeudTopic But then Olfrid got rich an' decided he an his kin were too good for us simple, backwards Nord folk. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsFeudTopic When the troubles began, he took the Empire's side. We haven't spoken much since then. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsGrayManeTopic We've got an old saying -- the Gray-Manes have lived in Whiterun since the first snows fell in Skyrim. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsGrayManeTopic Well, maybe that's not entirely true, but our clan's got a long an' proud history in this hold. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsGrayManeTopic We respect the old ways, the Nord ways, an' a Gray-Mane has worked the Skyforge since before the time of my grandfather's father. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsJarlTopic Well, first an' foremost there's repairs to make an' wounds to heal. Folks are depending on us getting the city back in working order. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsJarlTopic Once things settle down, I'll be lookin' to recruit more guards for the city, then shore up our stores of food an' water. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsJarlTopic The Empire might try an take the city back, or worse, we'll get a visit from a dragon. We've got to be ready for both. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsTalosTopic Aye, with a certainty. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsTalosTopic It was Talos that helped us win back the city. I'm as sure of that as the sun rising in the morning. DialogueWhiterunVignarTopicsTalosTopic Might even build a new temple and put Heimskr in charge of it. Hah! I bet he'd like that. DialogueWhiterunYsoldaTopicsBranch1Sub Reputation, mostly. A lot of Khajiit turn to smuggling and thievery to get by. DialogueWhiterunYsoldaTopicsBranch1Sub A few bad apples spoil the bunch. You know how it is. DialogueWhiterunYsoldaTopicsBranch1Sub2 Matter of fact, I do. They've been fair enough with me, far as I can tell. DialogueWhiterunYsoldaTopicsBranch1Sub2 And a Nord knows a liar when she sees one. DialogueWhiterunYsoldaTopicsBranch1Topic Yeah, these Khajiit make a living traveling the roads and selling their wares. DialogueWhiterunYsoldaTopicsBranch1Topic It's got to be tough. Skyrim's a hard enough land when you've got a roof over your head. DialogueWhiterunYsoldaTopicsBranch1Topic Worst thing is, nobody wants them in the cities. Nobody trusts them. DialogueWhiterunYsoldaTopicsBranch2Topic About the same as everyone else. They're the cat-folk of Elsweyr. Great warriors, good traders. DialogueWhiterunYsoldaTopicsBranch2Topic Way I hear it, Elsweyr ain't nothing like Skyrim. It's got tropical forests and dusty badlands. It sounds awful! DialogueWindhelmAmbarysGrayQuarterTopic Where else would we be? DialogueWindhelmAmbarysGrayQuarterTopic When the Red Mountain burned, you could scarcely breathe in Morrowind. So we came west. DialogueWindhelmAmbarysGrayQuarterTopic Windhelm is the first city on that road, and here we are. DialogueWindhelmAmbarysGrayQuarterTopic If we had known the Nords would be so unwelcoming, we may have kept walking. DialogueWindhelmAmbarysMurdersTopic None of that matters to me. Until someone takes a Dunmer, I let Windhelm deal with its own problems. DialogueWindhelmAmbarysMurdersTopic I've got what I came for, I better get back to Dragon Bridge. DialogueWindhelmAmbarysMurdersTopic Did you find anything at Wolfskull Cave? DialogueWindhelmAmbarysNordsTopicTopic Well you see where we have to live. This forgotten alley. All the filth from the upper quarters flows downhill, like they say. DialogueWindhelmAmbarysNordsTopicTopic Good luck getting one of the guards to help with anything. DialogueWindhelmAmbarysNordsTopicTopic I tried to get Ulfric to even come down here to see the squalor, but the High Lord of His Mightiness couldn't find the time. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic1Topic Wherever I can find them. If you're the type who worries over where something came from, you may want to move on. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic2Topic Well, not yet. The Empire hasn't been in charge for that long, and real change takes time. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic2Topic Still, having a just and honorable man like Brunwulf in charge can only be an improvement. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic2Topic Unlike Ulfric, Brunwulf has shown a great willingness to work with the other races and make us feel more at home here. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic2Topic For the first time in a long while, I truly believe that there are brighter days ahead. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic3Topic I'm a Dark Elf and I live in Windhelm, so yes, I live in the Gray Quarter. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic3Topic You must be new around here, or you'd know they don't let my kind live anywhere outside that slum. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic3Topic You there. If you're here to trade, step up to the counter. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic3Topic It's just the market rabble. We should get back to work. DialogueWindhelmAvalTopic3Topic Did you hear all that noise outside? DialogueWindhelmBrunwuldTopicsWarTopic I killed a lot of High Elves in the Great War, and I didn't die. I guess that makes me a war hero. DialogueWindhelmBrunwuldTopicsWarTopic The "Great War"... there was nothing great about it. Thousands died on both sides, and where did it get us? DialogueWindhelmBrunwuldTopicsWarTopic Did we really save the Empire? Or did we just plant the seeds for Ulfric's uprising, and another war? DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfChallengeQuestion You one of those "Skyrim for the Nords" types? DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic Is that so? You ought to join the Stormcloaks, if you haven't already. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic Seems to me they're a bunch of narrow-minded bigots, just like you. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic Meantime, you best steer clear of me. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic I'm sorry to be such a bother. We'll talk another time. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic2 Good. Too many Nords in this town have been listening to Ulfric's narrow-minded words. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic2 He's tough, loyal to his men and a good leader, but if you're not a Nord, Ulfric will never trust you. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic3 That's just what Ulfric wants you to think. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic3 If that's what you really believe, then you're a fool. Never had much patience for fools, myself. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic4 And you're right, at least as far as I'm concerned. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsBranch1Topic4 Don't let Ulfric or some of these other short-sighted Nords bother you. Most of us are happy to welcome newcomers. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsHelpTopic Help the Dark Elves? Oh, you must have heard me talking to Malthyr. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsHelpTopic The Dark Elves live in a run-down slum called the Gray Quarter. Ulfric's content to keep it that way. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsHelpTopic I guess they think I can open Ulfric's eyes to their plight, and get him to lift a finger on their behalf. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsHelpTopic I'm trying, but Ulfric is set in his ways. For him, there's two kinds of people in this world -- Nords, and the folk beneath them. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsJarl1Topic Every day is a struggle, but a Nord doesn't back down from a fight when the cause is honorable. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsJarl1Topic I just wish things were simpler. In my days as a soldier, I knew who the enemy was, and how to defeat him. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsJarl1Topic Unfortunately, a sword can't repair damaged buildings, feed hungry people or undo years of prejudice. DialogueWindhelmBrunWulfTopicsJarl2Topic I'd like to, but it's not as simple as that. DialogueWindhelmBrunWulfTopicsJarl2Topic Most of the folk in the city believe as Ulfric did, that outsiders should not be trusted. DialogueWindhelmBrunWulfTopicsJarl2Topic Until those people learn to accept the Argonians, they must remain outside, for their own safety. DialogueWindhelmBrunWulfTopicsJarl2Topic Old habits don't die easily, and we Nords can be as stubborn as stone. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsJarl3Topic I've taken the first steps toward doing so already. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsJarl3Topic I met with several of the Dark Elves to discuss improvements in the Gray Quarter, but we have no real plans as of yet. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsJarl3Topic First we'll need to refill our coffers and stockpile stone and wood. The war took a heavy toll on Windhelm's resources. DialogueWindhelmBrunwulfTopicsJarl3Topic But I swore an oath to our Dunmer friends that, for as long as I sit on the throne of Windhelm, their needs will not be ignored. DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTopicCollectionTopic My sister and I inherited a modest sum of money. We decided to travel and seek out whatever adventures we could find. DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTopicCollectionTopic As we journeyed across Tamriel, we encountered tales of exotic and wondrous artifacts. We decided to collect as many as we could. DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTopicCollectionTopic My sister passed away some years ago, so I settled down here and opened the House of Curiosities. DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTopicCollectionTopic I think she would be happy to know that our collection has brought smiles to faces both young and old. DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTopicsTourTopic Indeed I did! For a few septims, I'll tell you about some of the most interesting curiosities in my collection. DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTourNoTopic Very well. If you change your mind, you can usually find me here. In the meantime, feel free to look around. DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTourNoTopic Come on! We need to get inside! DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTourNoTopic Where are you going? The barracks is through here! DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTourNoTopic Quick, I can cut you loose inside the keep. DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTourNoTopic We've got to get inside. Now! DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTourNoTopic It's you and me, prisoner. Stay close! DialogueWindhelmCalixtoTourYesTopic Splendid! If you'll just follow me, I'll tell you tales and show you wonders such as you've never seen. DialogueWindhelmEldaTopic1Topic Did you see that candle above the fire upstairs? DialogueWindhelmEldaTopic1Topic It was lit one hundred and sixty-three years ago, back when this building was the home of a grand warrior named Vundheim. DialogueWindhelmEldaTopic1Topic When word came that he'd fallen, his son Deroct lit the candle in his honor. Nobody knows why it still burns. DialogueWindhelmEldaTopic2Topic Aye, that I do. I ain't sayin' he was perfect, but he knew what it meant to be a Nord. DialogueWindhelmEldaTopic2Topic The Empire's always taken us for granted. Nords died by the thousands in the Great War, and what did the Empire do? DialogueWindhelmEldaTopic2Topic They outlawed the worship of Talos, Skyrim's most beloved son. There's thanks for you. DialogueWindhelmEldaTopic2Topic I guess what I'm sayin' is, Ulfric stood up for us, an' for all Skyrim. So who's goin' to stand up for us now? DialogueWindhelmHermirTopic1Topic Every Nord should admire Ulfric. He fights for all of us. DialogueWindhelmHermirTopic1Topic In fact, he's the reason I chose to learn the smithing trade. I want to make weapons and armor for the great Stormcloak army. DialogueWindhelmHermirTopic2Topic Smithing isn't the most exciting thing for me, but we all have to lend a hand as best we can. DialogueWindhelmHermirTopic2Topic If a Stormcloak uses one of my swords to strike down an Imperial soldier, then I've done my part to free our land. DialogueWindhelmHermirTopic3Topic I make no secret of it. I don't care if the Empire controls the city or not, I won't hide my loyalty to the dream of a free Skyrim. DialogueWindhelmHermirTopic3Topic Ulfric fought for that dream with more courage and honor than any Nord who ever lived. But now he's gone, and the dream is gone with him. DialogueWindhelmHermirTopic3Topic But I'll be ready when a new leader takes up the cause. As sure as ice is cold and stone is hard, I'll be ready. DialogueWindhelmHilleviTopic1Topic There's an old saying that only a Nord can work the soil in Skyrim. I don't think anyone else would have the patience for it. DialogueWindhelmHilleviTopic1Topic It takes half a day just to dig a planting row in the cold, stony earth here. But what else can we do, eat rocks and ice? DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsClansTopic Like anyone, a crisis will push them towards devotion. I've been seeing a lot of the Shatter-Shields, since they lost their daughter. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsClansTopic Hillevi Cruel-Sea comes in a lot, but I haven't seen her husband here in years. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsClansTopic Ulfric prays for strength. I speak to Captain Lonely-Gale, but he doesn't spend much time here. Too busy. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsImperialsTopic I don't care what the Imperials say -- when Ulfric Stormcloak died, one of Skyrim's greatest heroes was lost. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsImperialsTopic Now at last, the Thalmor will get their way. The worship of Talos will finally be stamped out. Or so they think. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsImperialsTopic Those true sons and daughters of Skyrim will never cease to worship mighty Talos. If we cannot do so in our temples, we will do so in our hearts. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsImperialsTopic Oblivion take the Thalmor! I'll never give up Talos, not even if it means my life. Let them come and make me a martyr! DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsTalosTopic The Empire's elven puppetmasters never cared much for the idea of a human becoming a divine. So the worship of Talos is outlawed. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsTalosTopic Skyrim doesn't take kindly to being told what to do. And to try and forget Talos, well... they may as well ordered us all to cut off our ears. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsTempleTopic Talos, who in life was known as Tiber Septim, united Tamriel and founded the Empire. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsTempleTopic He was rewarded for his deeds by being joined with the Divines in eternal glory. The only mortal to do so. DialogueWindhelmJoraTopicsTempleTopic We worship him that we might follow in his path. We can't literally join him in the heavens, but we may do our best to know them here on Nirn. DialogueWindhelmJorleifTopic2Topic Grew up here. Colder as Atmora, but that just grows the beards thicker! DialogueWindhelmJorleifTopic2Topic Lot of history in these walls. We're trying to make some more. It's a lucky time to be alive. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicCityTopic Well, nothing. At least not any more. Folk just call me that because of what I used to do. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicCityTopic I was a sailor for many a year. I made my coin as a trader and in time, I bought my own ship. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicCityTopic When I retired here in Windhelm, most folk already knew me as Captain Lonely-Gale, and the name just stuck. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicCityTopic Watch that tongue, Rendar, or your whole lot could be down with the Argonians hauling ballast by tomorrow. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicCityTopic Typical Nord. Beard for brains. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicCityTopic My men have their orders. But it's a big city, and there's a war on. Plus these murders. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicCityTopic A few dark elves getting shoved around doesn't really amount to much. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicCityTopic If the guards in the Gray Quarter weren't a bunch of n'wahs, I wouldn't be here talking to you. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicCityTopic If anything actually happens, call a guard. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsActivitiyTopic If you're looking to pass the time, you can give Calixto a few septims and gawk at whater oddity he's come across lately. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsActivitiyTopic If you're need of goods, there's a market. If it's a soft bed and a hot meal you're after, there's Candlehearth Hall. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsCity2Topic Terrible shame, that. Seems we have a killer on the loose here in Windhelm. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsCity2Topic He's claimed three victims that I know of, though maybe there's more that haven't been found yet. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsCity2Topic All lovely young ladies, too. Let's hope the guards find that demon soon, and introduce him to the headsman's axe. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsHistoryTopic Windhelm is one of the oldest human cities in all of Tamriel. In fact, it was the capital of the First Empire, which was founded by Ysgramor DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsHistoryTopic The Palace of the Kings in which you now stand is one of the last buildings that remain from that era. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsHistoryTopic Long ago, the Empire used the city to garrison troops who guarded the passes to Morrowind. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsHistoryTopic And now, thanks to you, the city is back under the Empire's banner. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsPeopleTopic There's an author named Adonato staying at the inn. He's published a few works of historical fiction. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsPeopleTopic The clans Shatter-Shield and Cruel-Sea see most of the gold that passes through the city. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsPeopleTopic And obviously you have Ulfric, the Jarl and future High King. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsPeopleTopic Oh, and that busybody Viola Giordano. She's got her nose in everyone's business, which I guess is one way of being prominent. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsStewardTopic Well, a few reasons come to mind. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsStewardTopic In my days as a riverboat captain, I was known to run a tight ship. DialogueWindhelmLonelyGaleTopicsStewardTopic That, and I made my fortune by knowing when to spend my septims, and when not to. I can't stand waste. DialogueWindhelmMalthyrTopicsGrayQuarterTopic Windhelm is divided into four quarters. The Gray Quarter is the one that's home to all the city's Dark Elves. DialogueWindhelmMalthyrTopicsGrayQuarterTopic If it looks to you like an impoverished slum, that's because it is. Ulfric prefers that we live in squalor. DialogueWindhelmMalthyrTopicsGrayQuarterTopic He has nothing but disdain for anyone who isn't a Nord. He tolerates us, but that's the extent of his hospitality. DialogueWindhelmMalthyrTopicsMorrowindTopic Not a day goes by that I don't think about returning to the ancestral home of my people. DialogueWindhelmMalthyrTopicsMorrowindTopic Still, even with the rough treatment we've had at the hands of Ulfric and his lot, I've got ties here. DialogueWindhelmMalthyrTopicsMorrowindTopic It's probably more trouble to pack up and leave than it is to stay. Besides, Ambarys can't run the cornerclub on his own. DialogueWindhelmMathyrTopicsImperialTopic Yes, markedly so. Ulfric and his Stormcloaks made no secret of their disdain for the Dark Elves. DialogueWindhelmMathyrTopicsImperialTopic In fact, they didn't seem to care much for anyone who wasn't a Nord. DialogueWindhelmMathyrTopicsImperialTopic The folk of the Empire have always had a more cosmopolitan view of the world, so I'm glad to see them in charge. DialogueWindhelmMathyrTopicsImperialTopic Fools! You will not hold me here any longer, Valdar! DialogueWindhelmMathyrTopicsImperialTopic I spit on you, dead sister. DialogueWindhelmMathyrTopicsImperialTopic Petra, you traitorous grouse! Die! DialogueWindhelmMathyrTopicsImperialTopic Ah, my parlor. No finer place to boil eyes, no... DialogueWindhelmNianyeTopic3Topic It was difficult at first. The Nords of this city are, at best, suspicious of outsiders. DialogueWindhelmNianyeTopic3Topic But in time, I made the right friends and proved myself useful enough that they don't give me trouble anymore. DialogueWindhelmNianyeTopic3Topic The dark elves are too proud and naive to understand the way things truly are, and so they continue to dwell in that slum. DialogueWindhelmNiranyeTopic1Topic Just got here from the Summerset Isles. Lots of opportunity in Skyrim. DialogueWindhelmNiranyeTopic2Topic In some ways, yes, but there is often opportunity in chaos. DialogueWindhelmNiranyeTopic2Topic When a new government takes charge, records can be lost, taxes can be forgotten and laws aren't always enforced. DialogueWindhelmNiranyeTopic2Topic The new guards are often too busy learning their responsibilities to notice a few smuggled goods or minor robberies. DialogueWindhelmNiranyeTopic2Topic Not that I'd ever get involved in any of those kinds of things, of course. DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic1Topic I don't see these troubles as business. This is a labor of honor. DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic1Topic To bring Ulfric his rightful glory, I would hammer a thousand shields. DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic1Topic Shor's bones, I might just have to! DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic2Continuation You know what I mean. Forges have personalities, right? DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic2Continuation If that makes any sense. DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic2Topic Every bit as sharp as what you'll find in Whiterun. DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic2Topic I respect Eorlund, but he has the good fortune to work the Skyforge. Something about the fires... their steel just holds tighter. DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic3Topic I almost didn't. I wasn't sure I could stomach having some Imperial tell me how to live my life. DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic3Topic I was ready to pack my things when Hermir came to me. She wanted to make sure I'd finish teaching her the smithing trade. DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic3Topic That girl's determination won me over. I suppose it didn't hurt that she said she only wanted to learn from the best smith in Skyrim. DialogueWindhelmOengulTopic3Topic I couldn't let her run off to that pretender Eorlund Gray-Mane, could I? DialogueWindhelmQuintusTopic1Topic Are you kidding? I came all the way from Cyrodiil just to work with him. DialogueWindhelmQuintusTopic1Topic He's... he's not the best teacher. But just watching him, I've learned so much. DialogueWindhelmQuintusTopic2Topic It doesn't matter what I believe. Nurelion does, and it might be the only thing keeping him alive right now. DialogueWindhelmQuintusTopic3Topic I'll carry on his tradition as best I can. I could spend a lifetime just going over his notes. DialogueWindhelmRevynTopics1Topic I've scraped this collection together by whatever means I could. DialogueWindhelmRevynTopics1Topic I do some business with the trade caravans, and I've picked up a number of items from adventurers like yourself. DialogueWindhelmRevynTopics1Topic A few intrepid souls even brought some items back from Morvunskar, the fort southwest of the city. DialogueWindhelmRolffTopic1Topic They're parasites. They're living in our city, under our protection, but what do they do for us? Nothing! DialogueWindhelmRolffTopic1Topic I know the High King invited them here, but he didn't ask me or anyone else first. Maybe he should have. DialogueWindhelmRolffTopic2Topic Wouldn't surprise me. They've done nothing to help in the fight for Skyrim's freedom. DialogueWindhelmRolffTopic2Topic Those Thalmor are elves, too. I bet they're working together. DialogueWindhelmRolffTopic2Topic Maybe I should round up some men and take us a few prisoners to interrogate. DialogueWindhelmScoutsManyMarshesTopic1Topic We work where we can get work. The Nords don't like unloading their ships, so we do it instead. DialogueWindhelmScoutsManyMarshesTopic1Topic Sometimes cargo goes missing. DialogueWindhelmScoutsManyMarshesTopic2Topic I came here as a hatchling. The only thing colder than Skyrim is the Nords themselves, but we stick together. DialogueWindhelmScoutsManyMarshesTopic3Topic You have no idea. DialogueWindhelmScoutsManyMarshesTopic3Topic Did you know it was his decree that forbade the Argonians from living inside the city walls? DialogueWindhelmScoutsManyMarshesTopic3Topic I hope in his next life, he's reborn as an Argonian forced to live in a slum because of some bigoted Nord dictator. DialogueWindhelmScoutsManyMarshesTopic3Topic I'm joking, of course, but I'm a lot happier seeing the Empire running things in Windhelm. DialogueWindhelmShahveeTopicHappyTopic Oh yes. After all, what's the point in being miserable all the time? DialogueWindhelmShahveeTopicHappyTopic I know life on the docks isn't easy. Sometimes life puts you in difficult circumstances you didn't choose. DialogueWindhelmShahveeTopicHappyTopic But being happy or unhappy is a choice you make, and I've chosen to make the best of things that I can. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingNoTopic You've come to the wrong city, then. Windhelm's a haven of prejudice and narrow thinking, unworthy of one such as you. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Do you hate the dark elves? Are you here to bully us and tell us to leave? DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic (Sigh) DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Leave... Leave... Leave... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic In my time, the Blades protected the Emperor. It would seem these Penitus Oculatus will prove equally incompetent. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Stalking your prey, planting false evidence, destroying an innocent man's reputation. Truly a contract worthy of the Listener. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic The Keeper is a sacred position within the Dark Brotherhood. Ask yourself - do you trust the wisdom of our Lady? DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic I will kill this jester if you so desire, but there is a disturbance in the Void. Our Dread Father does not wish this. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Killing the Gourmet will leave an emptiness in the collective soul of Skyrim. This pleases me. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Yes. Kill the chef, and then steal his very identity. For that is the true death. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic A poison stew, eh? I was always partial to apples, myself. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic My time saw the assassination of an Emperor as well. Alas, the Dark Brotherhood did not have the honor of that kill. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic We must return to the Sanctuary! Your Family is in dire peril! DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic We are the messengers of death, you and I. Together, we will unleash the unholy wrath of our Dread Father, Sithis. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic The Sanctuary must be purged of its invading filth! DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic The time has come to fulfill your destiny, Listener. Kill the Emperor, and restore the Dark Brotherhood to greatness. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic You stand now at the precipice of the Void. I am reminded of another Listener, a protege I knew long ago. So long ago... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Ah, yes. Solitude. Seat of the High King of Skyrim. Messy business, kingslaying. Ah, but so very satisfying... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Windhelm. White as bone, and cold as the Void. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic I do so love Riften. I journeyed here in my youth. A thief took my purse... so I took his eyes. It was a fair exchange. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Whiterun, home of the Skyforge. It is said a blade forged in its fires can cut through sinew as if it were parchment. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic An ancient city, Markarth. Build by the Dwemer, the dwarves of old. To think, an entire race... eradicated. Not even I can take credit for that feat. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Do you feel it? Magic. Deep and ancient. It resonates from the College, like the beating of a heart. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic You know, a good Purification might be just what this Sanctuary needs... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Dreary, dank, and dimly lit. Truly a Sanctuary to call home. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Shadowmere, my old and dear friend... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic All hail the savior of the Dark Brotherhood! All Hail the Listener! DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic One day, you will serve our Dread Father as I do now. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic I remember Skyrim from my youth, and the glistening crimson on fields of white. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic I live... again. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic I grow restless. As does my blade. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Your enemies will soon know the wrath of Sithis. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Lead, and I will follow, child of darkness. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Perhaps we should find a random stranger to murder. Practice does make perfect. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Lead on, sister. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Lead on, brother. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic We are bonded now, you and I. Joined, through the powers of the Void. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic In life, I was but a Speaker for the Black Hand. But you have been named Listener. There is no higher honor. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Have you heard the tale of Mathieu Bellamont, and the great treachery of Cheydinhal? Kill a boy's mother, and vengeance festers in the son... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic My blade is yours. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic There is murder in the air. I can taste it. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic The Dread Father works through me. And his work has just begun. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic My Listener? DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic What prey awaits us? DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic UUggghhhh..... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic UUggghhhh..... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic UUggghhhh..... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic UUggghhhh..... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Riften. Cicero likes Riften. Cheats and ruffians and cutthroats abound. Finally, some fun. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...Cicero never understood thieves, really... take someone's things before you kill them? And they call me crazy... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Brrrr... Chilly. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Oohhh... Cicero's heard about the Butcher. Interesting knifework. Just... Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab! And then... Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab! DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Hmph. "Solitude." Lonely Cicero could tell you a thing or two about solitude... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...the High King's court needs a jester... But not me. No, not Cicero. The Fool of Hearts is busy enough, thank you very much... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...I saw a dwarf! I did! I did! Cicero saw a dwarf! There... Oh. No, sorry. No dwarf... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...Forsworn think they're so scary... Cicero will show you who's scary... Stupid Forsworn... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...Oooh... Cicero wants some Skyforge Steel! Sharp sharp, for easy stabbing... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Oh! Oh! Maybe Cicero will go to Jorrvaskr and dance for the Companions! They'll... Um... On second thought... maybe not. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic He he he he he he he he he he. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic He he he... Crazy? Cicero? He he he he... That's madness... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...ho ho ho, and hee hee hee, break that lute across my knee... and if the bard, should choose to fight, why then I'll set his clothes alight... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...and if I spy a singing bird, I'll snap its neck before it's heard... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...and I said to the baker, "You're not dead! You're a faker!" But if that's your wish, I'll oblige... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...oh if I chance to see a cat, I'll feed its corpse to my pet rat... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...and he says to the man, "That's not a horker! That's my wife!" Ha ha ha ha ha... Ah... I love that one... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...when I next meet, that fair maid Nelly, I'll plunge my knife into her belly... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...tra la la, tra la lee, da da dum dum, dee dee... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...madness is merry, and merriment's might, when the jester comes calling with his knife in the night... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...What? Mother? Is that your voice I hear? Hmm... No, no... Just my head playing tricks... Foolish Cicero... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic (Whistling) DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic Our sweet Lady is maiden, mother... and crone... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...need to sharpen my blade... make it shiny, gleamy, and oh so deadly... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...dear Cicero will keep you from harm, sweet Mother. Forever and always... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...is there singing in the Void? Dancing...? Surely the Dread Lord will at least allow poor Cicero to caper... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...Cicero is hungry... ...need a sweetroll... or a carrot... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...need to get Mother some flowers... pretty, pretty flowers... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingTopic ...must oil Mother soon... ...get all the hard to reach places... DialogueWindhelmSuvarisBlockingYesTopic Then we have nothing more to talk about. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisSpiesTopic Some of these Nords will come up with any excuse to despise us. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisSpiesTopic And it isn't just the dark elves they hate -- they make a target of the Argonians as well. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisSpiesTopic In fact, just about anyone who isn't a Nord is fair game for their bullying. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisSpiesTopic Curse you! DialogueWindhelmSuvarisSpiesTopic You just sit tight. I'll get around to it eventually. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisSpiesTopic Right, right... Oh, look at that. I seem to have lost my keys. Might take me a while to find them. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisSpiesTopic I said my fine has been paid! Now let me out! DialogueWindhelmSuvarisSpiesTopic Sorry, my ears aren't so good. You say somethin'? DialogueWindhelmSuvarisSpiesTopic Guard! My fine's been paid, now set me free! DialogueWindhelmSuvarisTopic1Topic Nothing new there. Most of the Nords living in Windhelm don't care much for us, but Rolff is the worst by far. DialogueWindhelmSuvarisTopic1Topic He likes to get drunk and walk around the Gray Quarter yelling insults at us in the small hours of the morning. A real charmer, that one. DialogueWindhelmTopic1Topic For Ulfric? Oh, nothing official. Known him for years. DialogueWindhelmTopic1Topic He seems to value my thoughts, and I'm grateful for that. DialogueWindhelmTopic1Topic I don't really have a mind for war, and I think he likes having an untrained opinion from time to time. DialogueWindhelmTopicParentsTopic His name is Torsten Cruel-Sea. He's really rich, 'cause he owns a farm called Hollyfrost. DialogueWindhelmTopicParentsTopic He told me once that he wanted me to grow up and be a sailor, 'cause that's where our family name comes from. DialogueWindhelmTopicParentsTopic But I don't want to be a sailor or a farmer. I want to be a warrior! The strongest one ever! DialogueWindhelmTopicParentsTopic His name was Torsten Cruel-Sea. He was really rich, 'cause he owned a whole farm called Hollyfrost. DialogueWindhelmTopicParentsTopic He told me once that he wanted me to grow up and be a sailor, 'cause that's where our family name comes from. DialogueWindhelmTopicParentsTopic But I don't want to be a sailor or a farmer. I want to be a warrior! The strongest one ever! DialogueWindhelmUlundilTopic1Topic My pa used to say there ain't no use worryin' about the things you can't change. DialogueWindhelmUlundilTopic1Topic If it's my fate to be ended by a dragon, so be it. Meantime, I'll live my life the way I want to. DialogueWindhelmWuunferthTopic1Topic No, but then I don't have much need for Ulfric. DialogueWindhelmWuunferthTopic1Topic We both leave well enough alone. DialogueWindhelmWuunferthTopic2Topic Whatever I don't already know. DialogueWindhelmWuunferthTopic2Topic Power is the crux of this world. There's always more of it to be had, if you look in the right places. DialogueWinterholdAssurGameBranchTopic Eirid and I are playing Hunt the Elf. It's my job to find the Elf, and kill it dead. DialogueWinterholdAssurGameBranchTopic Have you seen it? DialogueWinterholdAssurResponse1 Thanks! DialogueWinterholdAssurResponse2 Thanks! DialogueWinterholdAssurResponse3 All right! DialogueWinterholdAssurResponse4 Fine, Elf-Lover. I'll find her myself. DialogueWinterholdAssurResponse5 I'll find that Elf. I always do. DialogueWinterholdBirnaSaleBranchTopic Very funny. DialogueWinterholdBirnaSaleBranchTopic I'm sure you've noticed that Winterhold isn't exactly overflowing with people. DialogueWinterholdBirnaSaleBranchTopic So I'll sell whatever I can. If it's worth putting a price on, you can bet I'll do it. DialogueWinterholdBirnaSaleFollowUp I've been burned a few times, made a few bad deals, but mostly I come out on top. DialogueWinterholdBirnaWhyShopHereTopic Wasn't by choice, I can tell you that. DialogueWinterholdBirnaWhyShopHereTopic Options were in short supply. Ranmir and I grew up here, and nearly any money I make, he drinks away. DialogueWinterholdBirnaWhyShopHereTopic Without the coin to pack up and leave, I decided to take to trading. DialogueWinterholdBirnaWhyShopHereTopic Wasn't by choice, I can tell you that. DialogueWinterholdBirnaWhyShopHereTopic Options were in short supply. Ranmir and I grew up here, and his drinking soaked up whatever coin we had. DialogueWinterholdBirnaWhyShopHereTopic So I opened a shop to try and get by. Now, though... DialogueWinterholdBirnaWhyShopHereTopic Have to admit, I'm attached to the place. Suppose that makes me crazy, doesn't it? DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoAdviceTopic Perhaps not as often as he should. In time, I believe he will be more trusting. DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoInitBranchTopic Another new Apprentice, I see. DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoInitBranchTopic Are you of the sort that believe you're here to change the world? Or are you only in it for yourself? DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoInitBranchTopic I assure you that I shall be watching you -- all of you -- very closely. DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoRoleTopic I am an advisor to the Arch-Mage. The Thalmor wish to promote relations with your College. DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoRoleTopic I am at the Arch-Mage's disposal if he requires advice. DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoSpyBranchTopic What? DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoSpyBranchTopic Preposterous, and just the sort of thing I would expect from mages who have nothing better to do with their time. DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoSpyBranchTopic I have made it quite clear that my only role here is as an advisor to the Arch-Mage. DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoSpyBranchTopic I would suggest that you not further spread this rumor. DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoThalmorTopic Now that stability has been established between the Dominion and the Empire, we seek only to help Skyrim. DialogueWinterholdCollegeAncanoThalmorTopic To guide its people through this time of transition, to help lead them to a better future. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageCollapseBranchTopic The Sea of Ghosts practically came alive. No one was expecting it. Monstrous waves battered the shore for weeks on end. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageCollapseBranchTopic Winterhold was ancient and weathered, but it couldn't withstand the sea's fury. Entire districts of the city were lost overnight. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageCollapseBranchTopic The waves receded in time, but the damage was irreversible. Most residents of Winterhold abandoned what was left of the city. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageCollapseBranchTopic The College survived, and so here we remain. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageDangerousResearchTopic Not often, no. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageDangerousResearchTopic Some risks must be taken, to be sure. I am simply trying to avoid untimely deaths. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageDangerousResearchTopic We also must make an effort to avoid worsening what Skyrim thinks of us. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageHistory1Topic I've seen documents dating back to the late Second Era. Beyond that, it's hard to say. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageHistory1Topic Events in the last several hundred years resulted in a significant loss of our history, I'm afraid. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageHistory1Topic The Great Collapse, as it has come to be known. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageHistory1Topic An unfortunate natural disaster that ravaged the area. The College fared far better than the city of Winterhold, but it was not left untouched. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageHistory1Topic No one is sure of the cause. Some believed the eruption of Red Mountain had far-reaching consequences that were only felt years later. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageHistory1Topic I know there are some who have blamed the College, said that we were responsible. I assure you this is not the case. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageHistory1Topic Take this with our gratitude. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageInitFollowUp I am Savos Aren, Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageInitFollowUp I am quite content to see nearly any aspect of magic explored and investigated here. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageInitFollowUp But I do not and will not approve of any research or experiments that cause purposeful harm to your fellow members of the College. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageInitFollowUp Are we clear? DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageInitialBranchTopic You are relatively new here, are you not? I have noticed you, but we have not spoken. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageInitialBranchTopic You are new here, are you not? We have not spoken. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageInitResponse1 Then allow me to introduce myself. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMageInitResponse2 "Sir"? How quaint. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMagePsijicsTopic Personally? No, not I. One of their number used to advise the Arch-Mage when I was but an Apprentice here. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMagePsijicsTopic But that was a great many years ago, before all the members of the order were called back to the Isle of Artaeum, and it disappeared entirely. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMagePurposeTopic Purpose? I should think it's self-evident. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMagePurposeTopic Magic is a true power, not something to be shunned by commoners or treated as an amusing diversion by politicians. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMagePurposeTopic It shapes worlds, creates and destroys life... It deserves proper respect and study. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArchMagePurposeTopic The College is a place where we can focus on that, without the pressures of the world weighing down on us. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArnielAncanoBranchTopic He's asked far, far too many questions about my research. DialogueWinterholdCollegeArnielAncanoBranchTopic I think the Thalmor are trying to steal my work! DialogueWinterholdCollegeArnielAncanoBranchTopic I haven't told him anything, of course. What I'm doing is far too important. Can't breathe a word of it. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaDunmerTopic Didn't you know? DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaDunmerTopic Before the Oblivion Crisis, many elves called Winterhold their home. More visited the College from Morrowind every year. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaDunmerTopic After, growing distrust of magic made life difficult for many. Some left rather than endure the growing hatred from the local Nords. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaDunmerTopic Others returned home after the Red Year, when Vvardenfell erupted and caused much destruction. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaDunmerTopic Winterhold itself died in the years between then and now. What's left out there is a husk. Only the College really remains. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaInitBranchTopic Before you even ask, yes I have an ancestry steeped in magic, and no I don't want to talk about it. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaInitBranchTopic Yes, I know Winterhold used to be full of my kind, and no I don't care that they're all gone now. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaInitBranchTopic Does that cover everything? DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaInitResponse1 I've just been asked enough questions. I'm here to learn, not to explain myself over and over. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaInitResponse1 Forgive me, I didn't mean to assume. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaInitResponse2 No, I suppose we haven't. Brelyna Maryon, of House Telvanni. First of my family to leave Morrowind in a long time. DialogueWinterholdCollegeBrelynaInitResponse2 Now I'm here to study Conjuration. That's what's important. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitBranchTopic You consider Restoration a valid school of magic, worthy of study, don't you? Don't you? DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitResponse1 Good, good. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitResponse1 Not that I require validation, of course. There are just some - and I shan't name names - who would disagree. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitResponse1 It can make life difficult when one's colleagues fail to recognize the research one engages in. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitResponse2 I... I see. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitResponse2 Well, I'm glad we've established this early, rather than me hearing about it years or decades later when the whispers behind my back are loud enough. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitResponse3 It's quite simple really. There are some who shall not be dignified by being named, who have implied that it is not. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitResponse3 That is to say, it's been suggested that resources used for my study of Restoration could be put to better use. Any other use, in fact. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitResponse3 It's not just healing cuts and bruises, you know. The undead are a very real, very dangerous threat and Restoration magics can keep them at bay. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteInitResponse3 Not to mention the benefit of wards! How can they continually overlook wards! It's baffling! DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteTreatedBadlyTopic Well... No. Not really. Not directly, I mean. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteTreatedBadlyTopic But I know things are said behind my back. Conversations cease when I enter rooms. DialogueWinterholdCollegeColetteTreatedBadlyTopic I'm quite aware of what's going on here, and I will not stand for it! DialogueWinterholdCollegeDrevisIllusionSpellsTopic Oh my, that's quite a difficult question. DialogueWinterholdCollegeDrevisIllusionSpellsTopic Never underestimate the ability to influence others. Whether they're friends or foes, they're almost all susceptible to Illusion spells. DialogueWinterholdCollegeDrevisIllusionSpellsTopic They can turn the tide of a battle in a moment's notice. DialogueWinterholdCollegeDrevisIllusionSpellsTopic There are also spells that help in avoiding conflict altogether. Invisibility is tricky to master, but exceptionally useful. DialogueWinterholdCollegeDrevisInitBranchTopic You... You can see me? DialogueWinterholdCollegeDrevisInitResponse1 Confound it all. I was quite sure I was invisible, or at least transparent. DialogueWinterholdCollegeDrevisInitResponse2 But you can hear me, obviously. Something still isn't quite right. At least I'm making progress. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirAllowedBranchTopic Purposely killing your fellow College members is a bad idea. I'd advise against it. Theft and assault can get you into trouble as well. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirAllowedBranchTopic As for research... Well, a sufficient explanation will cover almost anything. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirAllowedBranchTopic If you're going to need live test subjects for your experiments, it's easier to do that off of College grounds. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic Let me give you a bit of advice. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic You want to work on something that's not officially allowed? Don't tell anyone you're doing it. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic You need something you're not officially supposed to have, you come see me. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic You tell anyone that I told you, and I'll fry you from the inside out. Got it? Good. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic He becomes a full-fledged member of the Bards College. Please welcome our newest Bard! DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic We remember all those Solitude soldiers out fighting the good fight in this thankless war. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic With the lighting of the effigy... DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic The festival would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our latest applicant. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic The festival would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our most recent inductee. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirInitBranchTopic Welcome, people of Solitude! We of the Bards College are pleased to be here to celebrate the Burning of King Olaf. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirVendorBranchTopic All right, let's not overdo it. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirVendorBranchTopic Meet me at my quarters. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirVendorFGBranchTopic I hope you've got some coin. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirVendorFGResponse1 Let's just take a look then. DialogueWinterholdCollegeEnthirVendorFGResponse2 Well then you'd better have something I really want to buy. DialogueWinterholdCollegeFaraldaSpecialtyTopic Certainly. Destruction spells come in different forms, each useful for various purposes. DialogueWinterholdCollegeFaraldaSpecialtyTopic Concentration spells can be cast immediately, though they're weaker. Good for a tight spot, and less costly if you miss. DialogueWinterholdCollegeFaraldaSpecialtyTopic You'll also need to decide whether to devote yourself to a single type of spell. DialogueWinterholdCollegeFaraldaSpecialtyTopic Focusing solely on flame spells will make them more powerful, but you may find yourself at a disadvantage against foes immune to fire. DialogueWinterholdCollegeIllusionTraining If you can find him and focus his attention, there's a great deal Drevis can teach you about Illusion magic. DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoCompetitionTopic Oh, but you are wrong. DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoCompetitionTopic The only reason you could disagree is because you are losing so badly you cannot see it. DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoInitBranchTopic You are new, yes? DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoInitBranchTopic Have you mastered the Expert level destruction spells yet? DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoKnowSpells You... you have? Already? DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoKnowSpells Well, J'zargo is surprised. And pleased! There is real competition here. This is good. DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoNoWaySpells Is it? This is disappointing. DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoNoWaySpells J'zargo hoped there might be one who could keep pace with his accomplishments. DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoSureSelfTopic There is much for J'zargo to be sure of. DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoSureSelfTopic There is skill in magic, there is charm, and there is a strong will. J'zargo will be successful, of this there is no doubt. DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoWillKnowSpells Ah, this is good. But J'zargo will know them first. DialogueWinterholdCollegeJzargoWillKnowSpells It is good to finally be around mages who may be able to keep up with J'zargo. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabelleAlterationTraining Don't let Tolfdir fool you; he's the pre-eminent scholar on Alteration. One of the best in Tamriel, and always willing to pass on his knowledge. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabelleConjuration Phinis is one of the best Conjurers in all of Skyrim, and can help with spells from that school. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabelleDestructionTraining Faralda can teach Destruction spells, and offers training in that school. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabelleExpectedBranchTopic There are no expectations. This College is a place to study and practice magic freely. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabelleExpectedBranchTopic Hopefully any discoveries made in your pursuits will be shared with the members of the College first. That way we all benefit. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabelleExpectedBranchTopic Now, if you'll please follow me, I'll show you the living quarters. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabelleExpectedBranchTopic While technically in charge of the College, the Arch-Mage's responsibilities often keep him occupied. Thus, I run the day-to-day operations. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabellePsijicOrderTopic No more than anyone else, I don't think. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabellePsijicOrderTopic They're a very old order. Pre-dated the Imperial Mages Guild by quite a bit. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabellePsijicOrderTopic In fact, the Mages Guild was founded in opposition to the idea of the Psijic Order, that only an elite few should have control over magic. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabellePsijicOrderTopic No one has seen or heard from them in over a hundred years now, though. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabelleRestorationTraining And finally, there's Colette. She may be... difficult to get along with, she's very knowledgeable when it comes to Restoration magic. DialogueWinterholdCollegeMirabelleSpellsTopic Well, that depends on what you're looking for. DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaAncanoBranchTopic Don't trust that one. He's up to something. DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaAncanoBranchTopic Most here are up to something, of course, but in his case, it's not good. DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaAncanoBranchTopic I haven't figured it out yet, but I will. DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaAncanoBranchTopic He is rather handsome though, isn't he? DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaInitBranchTopic It's lies. All of it. I don't care what she told you, it's all lies. DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaInitResponse1 Faralda. Don't act like she didn't say anything. I know her, I know what she's been up to. DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaInitResponse2 No? Well, then she hasn't gotten to you yet. But she will. And you don't you believe a word of it. DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaInitResponse3 Oh she will, mark my words. And don't you let her. DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaProblemWFaraldaTopic My problem with her? She's the one who has a problem with me! DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaProblemWFaraldaTopic She's threatened by me! By my skill as a wizard, by my elegance and posture, by my superior good looks! DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaProblemWFaraldaTopic But she's not going to get the better of me, oh no. I won't let it get to me one bit. That's what she's after. DialogueWinterholdCollegeNiryaProblemWFaraldaTopic She's trying to undermine my confidence, make me doubt myself. Well it won't work, I tell you! DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundInitialBranchTopic New here too, eh? It's good to see another Nord. I feared I'd be the only one. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundInitialBranchTopic Almost doesn't feel like Skyrim, being so far away from the rest of the world here. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundInitialBranchTopic New here too, eh? I'd hoped I wouldn't be the only Nord, but I should've known better. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundInitResponse1 Magic is shunned by most. If it can't be swung over your head and used to crack skulls, most Nords want nothing to do with it. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundInitResponse1 Magic is seen as something for elves, and weaker races. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundInitResponse2 Not at all. I consider it a blessing. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundInitResponse2 My family was convinced coming here was a death sentence, or worse. It took years of insisting that this is what I'm meant to do. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundLocalsTopic Well, look at the evidence. Nords generally don't trust magic, so it's not off to a good start. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundLocalsTopic Throw in the Oblivion Crisis, which was caused by magic-users, and the troubles now with the Aldmeri Dominion, who are elves and magic users. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundLocalsTopic And finally take the fact that the College is the only thing left standing after most of Winterhold was destroyed. It's all fairly damning. DialogueWinterholdCollegeOnmundNordsFollowUp1 No offense, of course. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisFalionBranchTopic He didn't like the Arch-Mage. Hated dealing with him, hated having to answer to him. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisFalionBranchTopic Falion said he hated what this place was becoming. So he just left. Aren found a note on his desk, and that was it. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisFalionBranchTopic I understand he settled down in Hjaalmarch, and his presence there caused something of a problem. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisInitBranchTopic If you require assistance with summoning techniques, please let me know. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisInitBranchTopic If you would, please also contain your summons to the College grounds. The locals do not need to be agitated further by Atronachs roaming their town. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisInitBranchTopic The summoning of undead is even less advisable outside of the College. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisRoguesTopic Not within society, no. Many who practice within the school of Conjuration do so on their own, secretly. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisRoguesTopic Falion is the only one I know who is public about what he does. He was once my teacher here, but left the College years ago. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisUndeadInitTopic By Sheor, no. Those archaic policies died out with the Mages Guild, and were never enforced here. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisUndeadInitTopic Necromancy, as any other type of magic, is a tool to be used. DialogueWinterholdCollegePhinisUndeadInitTopic Of course, non-mages may not see it that way, so we don't go around flaunting it. DialogueWinterholdCollegePsijicOrderInfoTopic I have no idea, but it's fascinating. Assuming it's true, of course. DialogueWinterholdCollegePsijicOrderInfoTopic The Isle of Artaeum disappeared over a hundred years ago, and no one has seen them since. DialogueWinterholdCollegePsijicOrderInfoTopic And yet now, suddenly, they have chosen to contact you? Why, it's intriguing! DialogueWinterholdCollegePsijicOrderInfoTopic If nothing else, I'd take it as a compliment. The Psijics have only ever dealt with those they feel worthy. DialogueWinterholdCollegeSergiusNeedEnchant2 No. No I can't. DialogueWinterholdCollegeSergiusNeedEnchant2 I have enough to keep me busy. View it as a chance to hone your craft. DialogueWinterholdCollegeSergiusNeedEnchantFollowUp1 I'm sure you can figure it out on your own. If you can't, perhaps Urag has a book you can read. DialogueWinterholdCollegeSergiusNeedEnchantResponse1 My pleasure. DialogueWinterholdCollegeSergiusNeedEnchantTopic Well, there's an Imbuer here in the Great Hall. DialogueWinterholdCollegeSergiusNeedEnchantTopic Well, there's an Imbuer in the Great Hall. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentAncanoQuestionTopic I know I don't like the way he looks at me. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentAncanoQuestionTopic I can't tell if he expects me to blow myself up, or to try and murder him. But he clearly doesn't trust any of us. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentAncanoQuestionTopic I know he's from the Thalmor, and that he claims to be here simply as an advisor. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentAncanoQuestionTopic I also know that no one really believes that. I've been trying to avoid him, honestly. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentTopicTopic Not at all. I consider it a blessing. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentTopicTopic My family was convinced coming here was a death sentence, or worse. It took years of insisting that this is what I'm meant to do. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentTopicTopic Mages in Cyrodiil are all about politics. The Synod and the College of Whispers are too busy guarding secrets to bother to teach. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentTopicTopic Skyrim was not J'zargo's first choice, but Winterhold is removed from politics, dedicated to study. This is the place for J'zargo to become great. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentTopicTopic So far, if only because no one is telling me how great I ought to be. DialogueWinterholdCollegeStudentTopicTopic I just want to learn, I don't want to think about what's expected of me. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic Well, I suppose he wouldn't mind... DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic It was all before my time, you understand. I've heard the stories, the same as anyone else. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic He was a brilliant student, an accomplished wizard. Delved into magic in a way none had seen before. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic But, I think, he became too focused on just how much power he could acquire. That's what led to the accident. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic Do you remember what I first told you, about how not being able to control magic could destroy you? DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic I didn't simply mean it could kill you. The Augur's accident is another very real type of a life destroyed. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic Well, it's been described as an accident. I can't imagine it was intentional. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic Something must've gone wrong, and he ended up in the state he's in now, fused to the energies that flow through the College. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic I've never felt it appropriate to ask him about it, about how that must feel. Or, I suppose, if he can feel at all. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic Let's see here.... DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic Come on, soldier. Keep moving! DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic All right, get that armor on and give that axe a few swings. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic Grab anything useful and let's go. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic It's locked. See if you can get it open with some picks. We might need that gold once we get out. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic Sure, take all my things. Please. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirAuguLoreTopic You better get that armor on. Give that sword a few swings, too. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirPostForcegreetTopic You've done it! The College is safe again, thanks to your work. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirPostForcegreetTopic I knew you had it in you. I daresay the Psijics are right. There's no one more deserving to be Arch-Mage, in my opinion. DialogueWinterholdCollegeTolfdirPostForcegreetTopic Here, consider these yours. And the Arch-Mage's quarters as well. I shall be here for advice, should you need me. DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragInitBranchTopic You are now in the Arcanaeum, of which I am in charge. It might as well be my own little plane of Oblivion. DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragInitBranchTopic Disrupt my Arcanaeum, and I will have you torn apart by angry Atronachs. DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragInitBranchTopic Now, do you require assistance? DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragLibraryImpressiveTopic A mage is only as good as what he knows. I try and make sure as much knowledge is available as possible. DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragLibraryImpressiveTopic We've been keeping this collection since the Second Era. Books have come and gone during that time, but it's mostly intact. DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragServicesBranchTopic Assorted books, scrolls... I'm sure you'll find something useful. DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragServicesBranchTopic I have a few things laying around that weren't worth adding to the collection. You may look through them. DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragServicesBranchTopic Please make sure your hands are clean before touching anything, all right? DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragServicesBranchTopic Hadvar! Into the keep, soldier, we're leaving! DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragServicesBranchTopic We just need to move some of these rocks to clear the way! DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragServicesBranchTopic Let's go! DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragServicesBranchTopic With me, up the tower! DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragServicesBranchTopic This way, friend! Move! DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragTakeWorkSeriouslyTopic Of course I do. If I didn't, most of these books would've been burned to ashes or dissolved to nothing before the Third Era. DialogueWinterholdCollegeUragTakeWorkSeriouslyTopic Mages need to be reminded to be careful around research materials. DialogueWinterholdCollegeWardBranchTopic The key to wards is that they take time to charge. DialogueWinterholdCollegeWardBranchTopic Not long, but you can't start casting with a fireball coming at you. DialogueWinterholdCollegeWardBranchTopic Also, if your ward isn't negated by an incoming spell, it will recharge itself after a moment or two. DialogueWinterholdCollegeWardBranchTopic Just be careful. Casting wards requires constant concentration, and you can easily find yourself drained of your magicka reserves. DialogueWinterholdCollegeWardBranchTopic Please, follow me. I'll escort you inside the College. DialogueWinterholdCollegeWardBranchTopic You do indeed have the power. I'm impressed. DialogueWinterholdGeneralInfoTopic I'm afraid the Winterhold you see before you is somewhat... underwhelming. DialogueWinterholdGeneralInfoTopic I can assure you, though, that it was quite something in its prime. An early capital of Skyrim, you know. DialogueWinterholdGeneralInfoTopic Sadly, the Oblivion Crisis took its toll on Winterhold, in more ways than one. Then, the Great Collapse swallowed most of our beloved city. DialogueWinterholdGeneralInfoTopic What's there to tell? It's mostly gone now, thanks to those damned mages in the College. DialogueWinterholdGeneralInfoTopic Someday there'll be proof they caused the Great Collapse. Most of a city just dropping off into the sea... That doesn't just happen. DialogueWinterholdGeneralInfoTopic I'm afraid there's not much to be said. Winterhold is hardly what it used to be. DialogueWinterholdGeneralInfoTopic You can talk to Birna if you need to buy anything. She doesn't have much, but could certainly use the coin. And then there's our little inn. DialogueWinterholdGeneralInfoTopic Most of the business we get is from folks here to visit the College, though even that's dried up some. DialogueWinterholdHaranNicePlaceTopic It's not much, but we get by. DialogueWinterholdHaranNicePlaceTopic Very little money passes through Winterhold anymore, but if there's one thing you can count on, it's folks needing a drink now and then. DialogueWinterholdJarlCollapseTopic Just about eighty years ago, there was a terrible disaster. The cliffs overlooking the Sea of Ghosts collapsed, taking most of Winterhold with them. DialogueWinterholdJarlCollapseTopic In the middle of it all, the College was practically untouched. Many of the survivors were suspicious. DialogueWinterholdJarlCollapseTopic Some believed the mages were behind the whole thing, and others felt they could have at least prevented it. DialogueWinterholdJarlCollapseTopic Arch-Mage Aren assures me that his people had nothing to do with it, and I believe him. But Winterhold never recovered. DialogueWinterholdJarlCollegeTopic Goodness, no! DialogueWinterholdJarlCollegeTopic They're simply scholars, they mean no one harm. I've had... several conversations with Arch-Mage Aren over the years. DialogueWinterholdJarlCollegeTopic He's perfectly polite, if a bit guarded. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic You may have noticed the College, just to the north there. Very prestigious place. Mages from all over Tamriel traveled here to seek knowledge. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic After the Oblivion Crisis was over, many felt that magic users were to blame. Elves, to be specific. It created a great deal of tension. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic A good many dark elves were driven from the city, and people became... uncomfortable with the presence of the College. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic True, but I'm not going to be the one to try to oppose her... DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Yeah, but raising Draugr to take on both the Imperials and the Stormcloaks? That's just crazy. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic I think it's sweet Lu'ah is so worked up over her dead soldier... DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic I'm on it, lass. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Wait a moment... what's that? DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Aye, lass... and we'll be ready for him. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Let's keep moving. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic He's toying with us. He wants us to follow. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Damn it! There's no way through. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic It's Mercer! Look... down there! DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic I can hear water rushing through these pipes. We must be beneath a lake. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Then this is it. We do this for Gallus and for the Guild. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic He's close. I'm certain of it. We must prepare ourselves. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Falmer patrol up ahead. I don't think they know we're here. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Aye. Whatever you want to do, we're with you. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic There's a mass of the Falmer in this chamber. We can sneak through or take them down... I don't care. As long as we get to Mercer. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Even the Falmer don't deserve the pain these implements must have inflicted. The dwarves were a cruel race. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic This must be their hive. We'll have to keep silent if we want to avoid drawing their attention. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic The stench... this place reeks of Falmer. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic This is where we saw Mercer. We must be getting close. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic We can take the beast on or sneak around. It's your call, lad. We're right behind you. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic We can take the beast on or sneak around. It's your call, lass. We're right behind you. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic It's a Dwarven Centurion. Very tough and very deadly. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Shor's Bones! Look at that monstrosity. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic I'll bet my last septim that there's a mechanism around here somewhere. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Mercer must have triggered these pistons. We're going to have to search for a way to open them. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic The only reason to do that would be to block pursuit. It must be Mercer. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic We'll have to find another way around. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic So this is what we heard. The entire tower collapsed. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Looks like we can take the low road or the high road across this chamber. Your choice. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Can't say that I have. Imagine the riches hidden within these walls. DialogueWinterholdJarlOblivionCrisisTopic Look at the size of this place. Have you ever seen anything like it in your life, lass? DialogueWinterholdKorirCollegeProblemTopic Look around you. Winterhold is in this state because of those damned mages. DialogueWinterholdKorirCollegeProblemTopic They sit up there in their tower, doing gods-know-what, and who watches over them? DialogueWinterholdKorirCollegeProblemTopic The guards don't even dare go up there unless they've no choice. DialogueWinterholdKorirCollegeProblemTopic I do, and if you count yourself among their numbers then you've blood on your hands as well. DialogueWinterholdKorirCollegeProblemTopic There's nothing left of Winterhold. Nothing! DialogueWinterholdKorirCollegeProblemTopic Everyone knows it's the College's fault that the sea swallowed our city. Still they deny it, but we all know the truth. DialogueWinterholdKorirInitialBranchTopic What's your business here in Winterhold? DialogueWinterholdKorirInitialResponse1 Should've known. DialogueWinterholdKorirInitialResponse1 Not that it matters anymore. No one bothers coming to Winterhold for any other reason. DialogueWinterholdKorirInitialResponse2 Stay clear of that College, if you know what's good for you. DialogueWinterholdKorirInitialResponse2 Nothing but foul deeds behind those walls. DialogueWinterholdKorirInitialResponse3 It does. The College has caused enough problems; don't need you or anyone else adding to them. DialogueWinterholdKorirInitialResponse3 If you're not here for the College, then you've little other reason to be in Winterhold at all. DialogueWinterholdNelacarCollegeBranchTopic No. Gods no, not for years. DialogueWinterholdNelacarCollegeBranchTopic I left Winterhold for some time, and returned to stay here at the inn. DialogueWinterholdNelacarCollegeBranchTopic I still have research that keeps me busy, and being here in Winterhold ensures I have access to former colleagues. DialogueWinterholdWhySoEmptyTopic You mean the inn, or Winterhold? DialogueWinterholdWhySoEmptyTopic Suppose it's the same answer, either way. Winterhold's fallen on hard times, to say the least. Most folk packed up and left years ago. DialogueWinterholdWhySoEmptyTopic A few of us are either too stubborn or too crazy to go, so we do our best to make a living. DialougeCrimeGuardsThane01 Oh, forgive me, Thane. I didn't realize it was you. DialougeCrimeGuardsThane01 We'll look the other way this time, but even the Jarl's influence has its limits. Be more careful. DRMSGoodbyes Slip up and I'll gut you like a fish. DRMSGoodbyes Be seein' you around. DRMSHellos Dirge told me you made it into the Guild. You need dirt on anything, you talk to me. DRMSHellos What did you want to know? DRMSHellos Back again? What is it this time? DRMSHellos You want to talk? Finish those jobs for Brynjolf first. DRMSHellos Get in good with Brynjolf, then we'll talk. DRMSHellos Stay out of the Black-Briars' business and you'll live longer. DRMSHellos You aren't worth my time. Piss off. DRMSHellos I'm through with you. Get out of my way. DRMSHellos What did you want? DRMSSharedInfo01 The name's Maul; I watch the streets for the Black-Briars. If you need dirt on anything, I'm your guy. DRRDrahffBranchTopic Hey, you. Stop right there! DRRDrahffBranchTopic Empty your pockets or end up as skeever food. DRRDrahffBranchTopic I'm going to check the entrance to the Ratway. Be right back. DRRDrahffBranchTopic Okay, okay. DRRDrahffBranchTopic You worry about bashing people's heads in, I'll worry about the Guild. Okay? DRRDrahffBranchTopic This far? We're livin' in a sewer. You said we'd have a house as big as the Black-Briars' by now. DRRDrahffBranchTopic Why are you always acting like such a big baby? I've gotten us this far. DRRDrahffBranchTopic I dunno, Drahff. They'd skin us alive if they knew we were doin' this. DRRDrahffBranchTopic Let's finish this. DRRDrahffBranchTopic01 Brynjolf's been sending idiots like you down here for years looking for their hideout. DRRDrahffBranchTopic01 Funny thing is his stupid Thieves Guild never counted on me and my partner blocking the way. DRRDrahffBranchTopic01 Now, empty your pockets or I'll pick the gold off your corpse. DRRDrahffBranchTopic02 No need to get hasty. I... I was just testing you. You can go on ahead. DRRDrahffBranchTopic02 Let 'em go, Hewnon. All clear. DRRDrahffBranchTopic02 I doubt that very much. DRRDrahffBranchTopic03 You aren't going to pass. You're going to give me everything you have. Whether you leave here in one piece is up to you. DRRDrahffBranchTopic04 Suit yourself. Get 'em Hewnon! DRRDrahffBranchTopicWalkaway Ignoring me, huh? Suit yourself. Get 'em Hewnon! DRRHellos Don't worry, Hewnon will let you pass. DRRHellos We won't give you any more trouble. DRRHellos Sorry to have bothered you. I'll just be out of your way now. DRRHellos What are you lookin' at? DualWielding01 Using two weapons means you've got no defense. You can't block anything. But if you hit him with both at the same time, he may not get up again. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Have you killed them all yet? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Riften is off the table. The Empire barely has a toehold left in Skyrim. We don't need to pay such a high price for this truce. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic We've made you a fair offer. If you're really serious about this truce, you need to reconsider. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic You heard the man, Tullius. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic You heard what she said, Tullius. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Aye! We haven't forgotten Markarth, Tullius! dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic But I accepted the Dragonborn's invitation to this council, and I at least will negotiate in good faith. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic First, let me be clear. The sons of Skyrim know from bitter experience that talking to the Empire is a waste of time, or worse. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Imperial promises are simply a way to lull you while they prepare a dagger for your back. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Jarl Ulfric, what would you want in return? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic You haven't been able to take it back yet. Why should we give it up now? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Come on, Tullius, you can't seriously expect us to just hand over Riften at the negotiating table. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Ulfric, you can't be taking this demand seriously? We can hold Riften against anything the Empire can throw at it. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Of course not! What will you offer for Riften, Tullius? Some empty promises? Maybe some more Imperial bluster? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic I'm sure General Tullius does not expect something for nothing. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic That's quite an opening demand, Tullius. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Elisif, are you really going to be a party to this foolishness? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Do you really think Ulfric will just turn Riften over because some Imperial general barked an order? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Riften must be returned to Imperial control. That's our price for agreeing to a truce. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Our terms are simple. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic And now we come to the end of our play. The grand finale. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic If it's any comfort, I do feel slightly bad about Veezara. Stupid lizard got in my way! But please tell me that hulking sheepdog has bled to death. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Cicero admits, he thought the Listener would be dead by now. Heh. Maybe we could just forget all this? Hmm? Let bygones be bygones? What do you say? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Brrr! Chilly! You'll enjoy this. Not an original part of the Sanctuary, per se. Let's call it a "forced addition." Forced by what? Oh, come and see! dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic All right, so Cicero attacked that harlot, Astrid! But what's a fool to do, when his mother is slandered and mocked? Surely the Listener understands! dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic You're... still alive. Cicero respects the Listener's abilities, of course, but could you at least slow down a bit? I'm not what I used to be. Heh. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Ouch! Pointy pointy! My home is well defended. I always have been a stickler for details. Get it? "Stick-ler." Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, I slay me! dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Oh, but this isn't at all what Mother would want. You kill the Keeper or I kill the Listener? Now that's madness. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Listener! Is that you? Oh, I knew you'd come. Send the best to defeat the best. Astrid knew her stupid wolf couldn't slay sly Cicero. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Damn that Loreius. Oh, how he will pay for this treachery... dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic You look like a crazy man to me. And what's in that coffin, hmm? Maybe some time in a cell will help loosen that lying tongue. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Wh... What? A crime? Me? Preposterous! Poor Cicero is just standing here! Cicero loves order. Oh yes! He would never disrespect the law! dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic You there! Fool! Hold fast. You've been accused of a crime against the laws of this land. What say you in your defense? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Oh thank you, kind stranger. Thank you for helping Cicero and his poor, stranded mother. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic He he. That'll teach the little loony. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic A jester. In these parts. Man must be completely off his tree. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Move along, now. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Everyone, fall back! Run for it! dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic What the...? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Another trap, most likely. Things are dangerous... three of the guards died when the lower hall flooded with steam last week. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic What do you think this is? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic ...As you say, sir. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Sir, are you serious? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic You heard me, captain- our work must not be disturbed. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Kill any intruders on sight. Call for backup if you need it. But let no one through. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Well, at least this post is safe enough. Come on, let's get back to work. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Better them than us. We lost three good men to the traps up there, and for what- just to see another damn spider clanking around? dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic Yeah. Calcelmo called in his entire expedition team- said he needed every man he could get to protect his research. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic What a waste! There must be a dozen men up there! dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic All right men, spread out and search the tower. No telling who- or what- we're dealing with here. dunAngarvundeAreDraugrDeadTopic I... oh, all right. If there is a thief, he won't leave this tower alive. But shouldn't we inform Master Calcelmo? dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Every moment you waste is another moment those doors stay shut tight. Get going! dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Riches and fortune, within my grasp, and I have to give it all up because they're afraid of a few dead bodies... dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Cowards, every one of them. Running at the first sign of trouble... dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Thanks for the compliment, Delvin. I may just take you up on that one day. dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Why don't you just formally join up? Quit sittin' here wheelin' and dealin' when you could be out there makin' a heck of a lot more coin. dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic We could use someone with your skills. dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic You can offer, but I may not buy. dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Tonilia, can I offer some friendly advice? dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Hey, hey. Sorry. I just get jealous when I hear rumors about you. dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Nothing Vulwulf.... cheers. dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Sorry, what was that? dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Vulwulf, it's always a pleasure. dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic When you're standing downwind of me. dunAngarvundeBothDoorsTopic Maven! So good to see you again. Hoist a flagon and celebrate with me! dunAngarvundeCorpsesArentScary Well, probably not like these. The ones in there are all still walking around. dunAngarvundeDeal Excellent. With my brains and your brawn, that treasure will soon be mine... uh, ours. dunAngarvundeDealEnd First, I need you to clear the main chamber of those monstrosities. I'll stay here until you're finished, planning our next move. dunAngarvundeDoorsAreClosedTopic Hmm. These doors seem to be the only thing left between me and the treasure. dunAngarvundeDraugrDeadNo Well, hurry up. dunAngarvundeDraugrDeadYes Then we've no time to lose. Follow me! dunAngarvundeICantGetTheTreasure In any case, if I can't get past the creatures in that room, I can't recover the treasure. I need more manpower. dunAngarvundeIllTellYouWhat I'll tell you what. You help me get the treasure and I'll split it with you. Deal? dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic Oh, I didn't see you there. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic Hrm. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic A venison pie, maybe? With a nice cup of mulled mead? dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic Hrm. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic Eorlund, dearest, are you hungry? Would you like me to fix you something? dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic Hrm. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic Wonderful, dear. Thank you. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic Hrm. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic When will you be makin' some more jewelry, love? Some silver lockets and amulets would fetch a nice price at the stand. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic All right, dear. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic No! Please, grandmother, don't do that. I'm fine. Really. Can we just... not talk about this anymore? dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic It's that Braith girl again, isn't it? Has she been bothering you again? I've a mind to speak with her mother. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic That's all right, grandmother. I like staying home with you. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic Lars, dear, why don't you go outside and play? It's a beautiful day. dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic You've got no sense of humor, you know that? Why don't you pick up where you left off with "The Real Barenziah." dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic Mother! dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic How about "The Lusty Argonian Maid"? dunAngarvundeMedresiStartTopic So, what book should I read to you tonight? dunAngarvundeNoDeal Bah! You're just as bad as the rest of them. dunAngarvundeNoDeal02 Bear in mind, even if you clear out the tomb, you'll still need a key to get to the treasure. A key I happen to possess. dunAngarvundeNoDeal03 Clear out the chamber, and I'll give you the key. dunAngarvundeOfferHelp Say, that's not a bad idea. You look like you could handle yourself against these beasts. dunAngarvundeOtherWay01 There'd better be. I didn't come all this way to leave empty handed. dunAngarvundeOtherWay02 There must be a way to activate these doors deeper in the ruins. Here, take this key. It should open the doors on either side of this chamber. dunAngarvundeOtherWay02 At last, the treasure is mine! All mine! dunAngarvundeQSTBothDoorsClosed Every moment you waste is another moment those doors stay shut tight. Get going! dunAngarvundeQSTBothDoorsClosed Only one more door left. Hurry up. dunAngarvundeQSTBothDoorsClosed I don't have time to talk. Keep moving! dunAngarvundeTellMeMore01 Legend says this tomb holds a treasure that bestows great power on the one who discovers it. Beyond that, not much more is known. dunAngarvundeTellMeMore02 Obviously, this treasure will fetch a good deal of gold, and I'm willing to let you share in the reward when we find it. dunAngarvundeWhatFrightened We were excavating this old tomb when we opened a chamber full of corpses. The team took one look, turned tail, and ran. dunAngarvundeYouSeemTroubled Of course I'm troubled. I'm on the verge of incredible wealth, but my cowardly work force ran at the first sign of danger. dunArcherQSTGoodbyes Let's see if I can teach you a few things about using a bow. dunArcherQSTGoodbyes Remember, composure and speed. You don't need to see your arrow hit before moving onto your next target. Trust your shot is true. dunArcherQSTGoodbyes Take care, stranger. Be careful out there. dunArcherQSTGoodbyes Shoot the far target. dunArcherQSTGoodbyes It was nice to spend time with someone who enjoys archery as much as I do. dunArcherQSTHellos Lost, stranger? dunArcherQSTHellos Looking to practice, stranger? dunArcherQSTHellos Try and hit the middle target. dunArcherQSTHellos Ready to practice some more? dunArcherQSTHellos Let me know if you want to try again. dunArcherQSTHellos Try and hit the left target. dunArcherQSTHellos Try and hit the right target. dunArcherQSTHellos Great job hitting those targets. You definitely surprised me with your speed and composure. dunArcherQSTHellos It's not often I get visitors out here. You lost, stranger? dunArcherQSTHellos Try and hit the far target. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic OK, your turn. Try and hit that target way in the back, far behind the other three. Remember to take your time and make your shot count. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic If you find yourself in such a situation, then you need to make your shot count. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Don't rush your shot. Crouch down, get comfortable, and take aim. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic However, with such a long shot, it's more than likely that's the only shot you'll be able to take before your prey runs off. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Often times you won't be able to get as close to your prey as you'd like and you'll have to settle with a long shot. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic We've talked about speed and composure. Now we'll go over precision. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Shoot the far target. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Thanks, Aia. That means a lot. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Glad to hear it, Aia. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic None of what he collected tasted as good as your Spiced Wine, Evette. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic I'm still finding your Spiced Wine to be the best drink I've ever tasted. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Rum from Hammerfell, mulled wine from Daggerfall and the like. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Really? dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic You know, my father collected exotic alcohols. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic I seem to have more chores for the Winking Skeever each day. I still have a delivery to do too. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic A little late in the day for your rounds Sorex. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Thank you, Addvar, I am picky about what I eat these days. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic I've been pushing the Salmon but I'll tell you the Slaughterfish is a bit better today. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Fresh fish sounds like just the thing today, Addvar. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic I appreciate the thought though. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic I don't think he would have wanted your absolution, Rorlund. He worshiped Talos. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic I wish we could have absolved your brother-in-law of his sins before his execution. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic As long as they're playing instruments they're passable. You don't want to hear them sing. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Speaking of sounding good, I've heard a couple of your classmates on the street recently. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Salmon sounds good today. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic A war veteran should be respected. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic A sale's a sale but I have to know... why are you buying something for Noster? dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic I am buying a fish for Noster. He likes fish. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Okay. Well. That's all I've got. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic I do not like fish. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Jawanan, I don't see you here often. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic Greta is taking it hardest. She won't go to the Temple of Divines anymore. dunArcherQSTReadyThirdBranchTopic I'm sorry about Roggvir. It's a shame, I liked him. dunArcherQSTRetryFinalBranchTopic When I tell you to, try and hit all four targets in ten seconds. dunArcherQSTRetryFinalBranchTopic Just remember everything I've taught you and you should be able to complete it. dunArcherQSTRetryFinalBranchTopic It may take you a couple of tries, but that's what practice is all about. dunArcherQSTRetryFinalBranchTopic I'm warning you now, this challenge will be quite difficult. dunArcherQSTRetryFinalBranchTopic We've talked about composure, speed, and precision. dunArcherQSTRetryFinalBranchTopic Now it's time to use all three at once. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01 Kind of scary if I think about it. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01 Shoot the middle target. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01 Shoot the right target. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01 Shoot the left target. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01 Great shot. Now hit the target to the right. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01 I think I've taught you everything I know. You might even be as good as me now. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01a It was my pleasure. It's not often I get visitors out here. Let alone friendly ones. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01b Very funny. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01d Thanks for sticking around and keeping me company. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01d It was nice to finally meet someone out here who doesn't want to rob you or take off your head. dunArcherQST_Complete01Topic01d I know it isn't much, but here, take this bow. It was given to me by my family. It's special to me, but brings back too many painful memories. dunArcherQST_FamilyKilledTopic01a Already did. Part of the reason I'm living out here now. Thanks for offering though. dunArcherQST_Intro02Topic01 I moved here from Helgen after my family was killed. dunArcherQST_Intro02Topic01 At the time I couldn't stand to be around anyone. They all felt sorry for me and I didn't want them to. It was my problem, not theirs. dunArcherQST_IntroView01Topic01 Name's Angi and if you try anything stupid I won't hesitate to put in arrow in your head. dunArcherQST_IntroView01Topic01a Sorry, a girl can't be too careful out here. dunArcherQST_IntroView01Topic01a Like I said, name's Angi and I've been living out here for a couple of years now. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic I set up those targets a long time ago. I shoot at them from time to time. Don't want to get rusty with my bow. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic Karliah's close, I'm certain of it. Now let's get moving. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic Fortunately, these doors have a weakness if you know how to exploit it. Quite simple, really. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic Without the matching claw, they're normally impossible to open. And since I'm certain Karliah already did away with it, we're on our own. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic Ah, it's one of the infamous Nordic puzzle doors. How quaint. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic Quite simple really, I don't know what the fuss is about these locks. All it takes is a bit of know-how and a lot of skill. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic That should do it. After you. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic This one doesn't look too difficult. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic They say that these ancient Nordic burial mounds are sometimes impenetrable. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic03a If you need a bow, there's one on the rack to the left of the door. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetsTopic03b I'd give you a bow, but it looks like you've already taken it from the rack. dunArcherQST_NoticeTargetTopic01a That I am. You know how to use one? dunArcherQST_ReadyFinalBranchTopic You did it! All four targets in ten seconds. Nice job. dunArcherQST_ReadyFinalBranchTopic I'll count to three and then say "go." You have ten seconds to hit each of the four targets. Draw string and get ready. dunArcherQST_Shared01 Well, let me know if you ever want to practice. dunArcherQST_Shared02 You chose the wrong girl to mess with. dunArcherQST_Shared03 Nice shot! Right on target. dunArcherQST_Shared04 Now hit it again. dunArcherQST_Shared05 Let me know if you want to practice some more. Next time we'll make it a little more challenging. dunArcherQST_Shared06 You need to stay inside the boundaries. dunArcherQST_Shared07 Only use the practice arrows. dunArcherQST_Shared08 Stay within the boundaries and only use the practice arrows. dunArcherQST_Shared09 Shoot the right target. dunArcherQST_Shared10 Shoot the left target. dunArcherQST_Shared11 Shoot the middle target. dunArcherQST_Shared12 Two Imperial drunks who thought they were above the law. dunArcherQst_Shared13 Don't be like them. Don't feel sorry for me. dunArcherQst_Shared14 Nice job hitting those targets. dunArcherQst_Shared15 Excellent. Follow me to the targets and we'll begin. dunArcherQST_Shared16 One, two, three... dunArcherQST_Shared17 Go! dunArcherQST_Shared18 Time's up! Better luck next time. dunArcherQST_Shared19 Here, take these. Looks like you're running low. dunArcherQST_Shared20 Listen to me and you might learn something. dunArcherQST_Shared21 Sure. dunArcherQST_Training01Topic01 Here you go. dunArcherQST_Training01Topic01 OK, let's see what you can do. dunArcherQST_Training01Topic01 Remember to stay within the boundaries and only use the practice arrows. I have some if you don't have any. dunArcherQST_Training01Topic01 Aim for the middle target. dunArcherQST_Training01Topic01 If you can remain calm, even in the midst of chaos, your arrow will most likely find its target. dunArcherQST_Training01Topic01 She always said composure was the key to a successful archer. dunArcherQST_Training01Topic01 My father was rarely home, so it was my mother who actually taught me how to use a bow. dunArcherQST_Training01Topic01 Sahloknir! Ziil gro dovah ulse! dunArcherQST_Training02Topic01 It's easy - stay inside the boundaries and only use the practice arrows. dunArcherQST_Training03Topic Now hit the target to the left. dunArcherQST_Training04a Here, take these. Looks like you're running low. dunArcherQST_Training04Topic01 You did it! All three targets in eight seconds. Nice job. dunArcherQST_Training04Topic01 I'll count to three and then say "go." You have eight seconds to hit each of the three targets. Draw string and get ready. dunArcherQST_Training04Topic01 When I tell you to, try and hit each of the three closest targets in eight seconds. dunArcherQST_Training04Topic01 If you can learn to keep your composure and trust that each shot is true, then you should be able to quickly handle multiple targets. dunArcherQST_Training04Topic01 So whenever we came across more than one deer in a single location, it was imperative we kill as many as we could. dunArcherQST_Training04Topic01 At the time, it was difficult to keep food on the table, let alone have enough left over to sell at the market. dunArcherQST_Training04Topic01 My older brother took me out hunting a lot when I was little. dunBardsLeapSummitRewardDialogTopic Wait, where did you get this? This piece was thought to be lost forever, please take this with my utmost thanks! dunBardsLeapSummitRewardDialogTopic Orgnar. dunBardsLeapSummitRewardDialogTopic Orgnar! dunBardsLeapSummitRewardDialogTopic Are you listening? dunBlindCliffAlreadyDead What? That flower-chewer's died? Then let me out. My tower! dunBlindCliffAlreadyDead Press only middle button! Clever trick, yes? Nobody ever thinks of the middle. dunBlindCliffAlreadyDead Yes, kind morsel. Let us go up, and mind Melka on the way. dunBlindCliffHagHellos We go up, yes? Always up. dunBlindCliffHagHellos Such a kind nibble you are. dunBlindCliffHagHellos You, meat! Come, come. dunBlindCliffHagHellos Don't leave poor Melka to die. dunBlindCliffHagHellos Petra! Petra! Curse her eyes! dunBlindCliffHagHellos Do you like my pretty tower? dunBlindCliffHagHellos What, seriously? Come on, I thought that was funny! dunBlindCliffHagHellos Oh my... that's the worst one yet. How about we stop talking and keep our eyes open like Gulum-Ei said? dunBlindCliffHagHellos He didn't want to hit the bar like the rest! Ha ha ha! DunBlindCliffMelkaSharedRacialA Oh. Yes. You all look the same. dunBlindCliffMelkaTopTopic Petra! Evil Petra put me here, stole my tower. Hate her, chew her bones! Let me out, kind, kind meat. dunBlindCliffQSTFGleading Pretty, pretty flesh. Let me out! dunBlindCliffQSTFGleading That's it! You've got one of them lined up! dunBlindCliffQSTRightRace Reason, reason, reason. Your kind and their reasons. dunBlindCliffReward Ah, I have a pretty staff. Help me find Petra, wring her neck, pluck her eyes. Take my prize staff, I just want my tower back! dunBlindCliffWhyFreeRacialB Because you are such a very nice Orc? dunBlindCliffWhyFreeYou Because, because you are such a nice Breton, yes! dunBloatedMansGrottoQST_JKierExplains The prey is strong. Stronger than the hunters. dunBloatedMansGrottoQST_JKierExplains But more will come. Bring him down, for the glories of Lord Hircine. dunBloatedMansGrottoQST_JKierIntro Has the Bloodmoon called you, fellow Hunter? dunBloatedMan_Hunter1_A What the... we've been betrayed! Look out! dunBloatedMan_Hunter1_B There he is! Get him! dunBloatedMan_Hunter2_A Treachery! Attack! dunBoulderfallQSTHacklecombDead He is? I'm not sure how to feel about that. Perhaps it's for the better. dunBoulderfallQSTNotSafe Please, let me know if it seems safe to leave. dunBoulderfallQSTSafeNow Thank you. When I find my daughter, it will be thanks to you. dunBoulderfallQSTWhyRiften My daughter was sent to the orphanage there when I stood accused of illegal necromancy. I had no choice. Run or die. dunBoulderfallQSTWhyRiften I joined with Bashnag then, but I thought of Savela every day. So I snuck off, hoping to find and steal away with her. dunBoulderfallQSTWhyRiften Only, she was gone. Shipped away to another orphanage, or adopted, or... I didn't know what else to do, so I came back, hoping nobody noticed I left. dunBoulderfallQSTYoureAWerewolf I am, and I don't want to hear your moral judgments about it, either. I wouldn't have had to study in secret in the old days. dunBoulderfallSelveniHELLO You! Please, help me! dunBoulderfallSelveniHELLO Hurry, cut me down! dunBoulderfallSelveniHELLO I want to get to my son. He's all I have left. dunCragslaneGuardTrespass These fights are invite only. And you're not invited. Slag off. dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic Hagraven up ahead. Pull the lever when you're ready and we'll take her. dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic He's a half-decent farmer. Ask him to teach you to farm! dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic But mama... dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic I don't want to hear another word about what you're learning from the elf! It's high time you learned to be a Nord, too! dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic And Meieran thinks that we should go there. dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic I think I like the lake here just a little more. dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic To see the fires! dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic I've been in Skyrim my whole life. Why would I want to leave? dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic Do you ever want to go to Morrowind, Sondas? dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic I'll have to take your word on that one, my dear. dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic That it was black and gross and nobody wanted to live there anymore. dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic Oh? What about it? dunDarklightIlliaForceGreetLeverTopic Sondas, I've heard about Morrowind. dunDarklightIlliaForcegreetLockedDoorTopic Locked. Damn! One of the hags nearby will have the key. You'll have to take it from here. I'll keep watch here - unless you can pick the lock. dunDarklightIlliaGreetTopic By the gods! I know this looks bad. Let me explain... dunDarklightIlliaNo Then I must do this alone. dunDarklightIlliaProblem I didn't want to, but she attacked to try and keep me from leaving. dunDarklightIlliaProblem I just can't be a part of this place any more! The things we do here - evil, evil things. No more! dunDarklightIlliaSo I called it home, now I know that was a mistake. I am, or was part of a coven serving the Hagravens that live here. So was she. dunDarklightIlliaTrustMe I'm going up there to stop her. This cycle must end. I don't know what brought you here, but I could use your help, if you're willing. dunDarklightIlliaYes Good. Follow me. We have to fight our way up. I don't think anyone else here is about to have a change of heart. dunDarklightLivingWith We were supposed to find a sacrifice. Human sacrifice. I told her I couldn't do it and she attacked. dunDarklightLivingWith I've done horrible things living here, but never taken an innocent life. I couldn't just find some person for them to kill. dunDarklightLivingWith We've got all the miners we need, so I hope you're not here looking for work. dunDarklightLivingWith Hjaalmarch isn't much, but it's a good start. I'll make a name for myself here, then maybe work my way up to someplace like Riften. dunDarklightLivingWith Finally, my leadership is being recognized. dunDarklightLivingWith Nothing here but the mine. Probably best you keep moving. dunDarklightLivingWith Pactur and I, we make sure the miners aren't stealing, and that the ore makes it to Solitude. dunDarklightLivingWith It's good that Sorli has finally been given some real authority. dunDarklightLivingWith I'll see to it that Sorli is safe now that she's running Morthal. dunDarklightLivingWith We left Sirgar in charge back at Stonehills. I hope that wasn't a mistake. dunDarklightLivingWith Sorli and I are just here to make sure the mine is run proper. dunDarklightLivingWith Wouldn't ever have expected to wind up living in a place like this, but the money's good. dunDarklightLivingWith Don't bother the miners. They've got work to do. dunDarklightLivingWith I'm in charge now that my parents are in Morthal. dunDarklightLivingWith I figured that I would run the mine someday. I just didn't figure that would mean now. dunDarklightLivingWith Guess the Empire's going to need plenty of iron what with all the fighting. That'll be good for us, I suppose. dunDarklightLivingWith Talk to my parents if you need something. dunDarklightLivingWith My parents keep a close eye on the miners. They can't be trusted too much. dunDarklightLivingWith I hear there's been fighting in Skyrim. Rebellion, maybe. Wonder if our iron is being used for weapons. dunDarklightLivingWith If you're here about the mine -- it's already got an owner, and she's not selling. If not, then please stay out of my workers' way. dunDarklightLivingWith You get used to the cold after a while. The harder you work, the warmer you stay. dunDarklightLivingWith I spend every waking moment making sure the mine is put to good use. dunDarklightLivingWith Bryling owns this mine. I wouldn't have much to live for if she hadn't offered me a job. dunDarklightLivingWith My job is my life. Whatever happened before doesn't matter. dunDarklightLivingWith I'm just here to work the mine. Nothing else matters anymore. dunDarklightLivingWith The outside world means little to us, and we'd like it to stay that way. dunDarklightLivingWith When you work hard enough, really get into a rhythm, everything else just fades away. dunDarklightLivingWith I'm just trying to make a living. I've no interest in trouble. dunDarklightLivingWith My business is my own. Why can't others see that? dunDarklightLivingWith The mine gives us purpose. Something many of us have wished for. dunDarklightLivingWith Stonehills' warmth is a welcome change in this cold, bleak land. dunDarklightLivingWith Teeba-Ei the hatchling never imagined working a mine in this cold place. Greater things were dreamt of. dunDarklightLivingWith This is not where Teeba-Ei was meant to live out the rest of his days. dunDarklightLivingWith Morthal used to be a quiet place. But then, the world used to make sense. dunDarklightLivingWith You ask me, we'd be better off without that wizard in town. dunDarklightLivingWith This isn't the time or place for magic, or whatever it is Falion does. dunDarklightLivingWith I figure the guards could always use some help, so I keep my eyes open. dunDarklightLivingWith Been hoping they'd make me a guard, but not yet. Still, I'll help them out if I can. dunDarklightLivingWith The Jarl does little to protect us these days. dunDarklightLivingWith A new face! Such a welcome sight in dreary old Morthal. Welcome friend, welcome! dunDarklightLivingWith Don't fret over the gloom, there's nothing to fear! Old Lurbuk will brighten your spirits -- just lend him your ear! dunDarklightLivingWith The good people of Morthal have yet to embrace my talent. dunDarklightLivingWith Try as you may, they won't say "good day," but will just walk away. Worry not, Morthal! Lurbuk is here to stay! dunDarklightLivingWith The fair Jonna does me a great courtesy by allowing me to entertain the guests of her noble establishment. dunDarklightLivingWith I, Lurbuk the Great, will win the hearts of the people of Morthal one day, mark my words! dunDarklightLivingWith Welcome to the Moorside. If you need anythin', I'll be 'round. Good to have a customer. dunDarklightLivingWith There ain't much to offer, but if you wanna place dry to spend the night, I'll rent you a room. dunDarklightLivingWith Runnin' an inn weren't my plan. But Falion decided to move here, so I joined him. dunDarklightLivingWith Falion had his work to keep him busy, and I needed somethin' to do. So, here I am. dunDarklightLivingWith I take what little business I can git. I'm grateful for anyone willin' to spend money here. dunDarklightLivingWith Ignore the Orc. He pays, so I let him stay. dunDarklightLivingWith I've tried to explain to Lurbuk that his "singin'" is gonna get his throat cut. dunDarklightLivingWith You'll want to be careful travelin' at night. The marsh is a dangerous place. dunDarklightLivingWith So, life has brought you to Morthal, and to me. What purpose this serves, we will no doubt see. Welcome. dunDarklightLivingWith Tamriel is full of wisdom and magic, if one is willing to look for it. Few have their eyes open. dunDarklightLivingWith Dark times, indeed. I fear the worst for Morthal and my people. dunDarklightLivingWith I try and take comfort in knowing that when all is lost, there is much to be gained. dunDarklightLivingWith It is my hope that I will one day return to Hjaalmarch. But the Divines have not shown this to me. dunDarklightLivingWith I speak, and others hear. It is my hope that instead they listen. dunDarklightLivingWith In Morthal, there is little to rule. But there is much to teach. And so, I am Jarl. dunDarklightLivingWith All this talk of rebellion and strife. Too many are focused on what might be instead of what is. It tires me to talk about it. dunDarklightLivingWith There is too much to learn in the world, too much to know, to fight over "laws" that have no real purpose. dunDarklightLivingWith We're safe here now. But what of Morthal? dunDarklightLivingWith The Empire brought stability, assurance to the people of Morthal, even if they didn't appreciate it. Now what do they have? dunDarklightLivingWith I fear for what this change will do to my family. dunDarklightLivingWith If you've business with the Jarl, I'd ask that you speak to me first. dunDarklightLivingWith I do what I can to see that Idgrod's time isn't wasted, and that she only has to deal with important matters. dunDarklightLivingWith Too many bother my wife with their petty problems, and then don't even understand the advice she gives them. dunDarklightLivingWith The only thing that matters to me is keeping my wife safe. I won't let anyone harm her. dunDarklightLivingWith Morthal doesn't need any trouble. You keep your nose clean, understand? dunDarklightLivingWith My mind weighs heavy enough. Leave me to my food. dunDarklightLivingWith Leave Idgrod and her family alone. They've been through enough. dunDarklightLivingWith This wasn't what I wanted. Not at all. dunDarklightLivingWith All that ever mattered was what was best for Morthal. Leaving it in Ulfric's hands... It's not right. dunDarklightLivingWith I'm just here to protect the Jarl, not to chat. dunDarklightLivingWith Morthal has enough problems without you bothering me. dunDarklightLivingWith I'm under a lot of pressure. If you don't leave me alone, I won't be held responsible. dunDarklightLivingWith Please don't mind Joric. He's not mad, really he's not. dunDarklightLivingWith To be driven from our homes, to be forced here... this is the last thing that Joric needs. dunDarklightLivingWith I don't... I haven't mother's gift, not quite, but I've seen things. dunDarklightLivingWith Someday I'll be Jarl. Mother reminds me often. I hope I can help the people of Morthal the way she has. dunDarklightLivingWith It's difficult sometimes... To know whether what I see is real or not. dunDarklightLivingWith I keep hoping this is another vision, that it's not real. But it is, isn't it? We really have lost our home. dunDarklightLivingWith For now, looking after Joric is my job. dunDarklightLivingWith You're different, aren't you? Not like anyone else. Not in Morthal, or Skyrim. dunDarklightLivingWith I don't understand. Why can't we go home? dunDarklightLivingWith I can't sleep here. The dreams are even worse than before. dunDarklightLivingWith I get lost sometimes. I'm not sure where I go, but I'm not... I'm not here. dunDarklightLivingWith Gorm thinks I'm mad. He doesn't say it, but I know he thinks it. Is he right? dunDarklightLivingWith My mother sees things. She doesn't know why, but she does. Only sometimes, she doesn't see me at all. dunDarklightLivingWith It's Falion. He... He did it. I don't know what it was, but he did it. dunDarklightLivingWith Keep your wits about you. Morthal's hardly a safe place. dunDarklightLivingWith I'm just a poor man trying to make a living. I'd leave Morthal were it in my power. dunDarklightLivingWith This damned war has cost us... me... everything. dunDarklightLivingWith My boy's to grow up without a mother? What life is that? It's not right, I tell you. dunDarklightLivingWith Hasn't been seen for a while. She just vanished without a trace. dunDarklightLivingWith Some say the swamp took her. Part of me wishes it were that simple. dunDarklightLivingWith Have you seen my mother? I'm still waiting for her to come home. dunDarklightLivingWith Papa says that I shouldn't keep waiting. Why not? Mama has to come home some time. dunDarklightLivingWith Who are the Stormcloaks, and why would mama want to spend time with them instead of me? dunDarklightLivingWith I know you for what you are. This town's blood is ours. Leave it! Now we must return to our roles lest the sheep suspect the wolves. dunDarklightLivingWith Well, aren't you the handsome one. You and I should spend some time together. dunDarklightLivingWith Well, aren't you the pretty one. I bet all the men chase after you. dunDarklightLivingWith The people here work so hard, and they never allow themselves a moment of fun. It's such a pity. It won't last forever though. dunDarklightLivingWith These people are like cattle. All they do is work, sleep and eat. dunDarklightLivingWith Gathering plants, picking mushrooms, brewing potions. It all gets so dreary after a while. This town needs something exciting to happen. dunDarklightLivingWith Thank you for saving me from Alva. I was completely under her evil spell. I'll never forgive myself for what happened to Helgi and my wife. dunDarklightLivingWith I... I'm not one for talk. Try to keep to myself. dunDarklightLivingWith Alva's been good to me ever since... well, since the fire. dunDarklightLivingWith I just try and do my job, and not to think about what's happened. Try to find what happiness I can. dunDarklightLivingWith Ignore the talk of spirits and creatures and such. It's just superstition. dunDarklightLivingWith There's enough real troubles in the world without making new ones up. dunDarklightLivingWith You are new to Morthal. We have not spoken before. This is interesting. dunDarklightLivingWith The changes in Morthal are of little consequence to me. So long as the laws are upheld, I do not care who does the upholding. dunDarklightLivingWith My talents are much needed here, in order to keep Morthal... safe. dunDarklightLivingWith Morthal is a troubled place, and it is my duty to see it rest in peace. dunDarklightLivingWith Please remain indoors at night. It is dangerous to go outside. dunDarklightLivingWith Do you like magic? Falion says I'm good at learning. I like learning about magic. dunDarklightLivingWith My mother and father died years ago. Falion takes care of me now. dunDarklightLivingWith I asked Falion if someday I could learn from the mages in Winterhold, but he doesn't like that idea. dunDarklightLivingWith If you need any alchemy supplies, I'll do my best to provide them. Assuming I haven't used them all up. dunDarklightLivingWith Jorgen and I both work hard, all the time. Morthal is important to both of us. dunDarklightLivingWith I don't get many customers, but that leaves me time to try things out. Experiment, I guess. dunDarklightLivingWith Unless it's about the mill, I don't have time to talk. Too much to do. dunDarklightLivingWith We've gone from a Jarl lost in her own head to a Jarl that cares for nothing but herself. Lot of good that does us. dunDarklightLivingWith The mill is my responsibility, and that's what I care about. That's all. Understand? dunDarklightLivingWith I just want to be left alone to do my job, and to enjoy what little free time I have when I have it. dunDarklightQSTAskPlan I'll present you as the sacrifice. Just play along. While mother begins the ritual, I'll strike. Then, together we can... we can kill her. dunDarklightQSTDecisionTopic You've decided to help? dunDarklightQSTEndTopic I suppose it would be better than sitting around thinking about all this. dunDarklightQSTHelpKill The Initiation. My mother is going to become one of those things. I can't be a part of that. dunDarklightQSTHelpKill Gods, I can't run away from this. I have to stop her. dunDarklightQSTIlliaTraitor You dare to betray us, Illia? dunDarklightQSTIlliaTraitor Our sisterhood will be better off with you dead, brat. dunDarklightQSTJoin I could also do some good for a change. Sure, I'd go with you. dunDarklightQSTMotherDeadTopic Don't be sorry for me. I just - if I would have known it would come to this. Mother... dunDarklightQSTPlanTopic All right. Mother is just outside this door. I have a plan. dunDarklightQSTReward Keep Mother's staff. Think of it as payment. I want to leave everything from this cursed place behind. Goodbye. And thank you. dunDarklightThoughtThrough I've thought this through, and it's the only way. She's too far gone, too corrupted by the Hags. At least in death she can be free again. dunDarklightThoughtThrough Enough. Let's go. dunDarklightTravelChatterTopic Let's get up there before mother finds out what we're doing. dunDarklightTravelChatterTopic I'm going with you whether you like it or not. dunEldergleamShared01 You are in Eldergleam Sanctuary - just a small glimpse of what beauty Kynareth has to offer. Wonderful place, isn't it? dunEldergleamT03Hellos Amazing that such beauty could exist in a place as desolate as the volcanic tundra. dunEldergleamT03Hellos Praise Kynareth for allowing such beauty in the world. dunEldergleamT03Hellos A truly remarkable place, isn't it? dunEldergleamT03Hellos Kynareth humbles us with her beauty. dunEldergleamT03Hellos Don't come any closer. I don't want Kynareth to think I'm on your side. dunEldergleamT03Hellos Hello there, friend. Have you come to enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful sanctuary, as I have? Truly remarkable, isn't it? dunEldergleamT03IntroTopic01a Yes, my friend. Though no one has been able to get close to her for as long as I can remember. dunEldergleamT03IntroTopic01b As you can see, Eldergleam's roots are large and stretch far, blocking any path to her trunk. dunEldergleamT03IntroTopic01b Though, believe it or not, there are rumors of a weapon that even Eldergleam herself would lift her roots for, more out of fear than respect. dunEldergleamT03IntroTopic01c Oh, I don't believe those rumors, my friend. Besides, who would ever want to harm such beauty? dunEldergleamT03IntroTopic01c Now, if you'll excuse me, I have nothing more to discuss. I encourage you to take your time and enjoy yourself. You look like you could use the rest. dunEldergleamT03IntroTopic01d Oh, I don't believe those rumors, my friend. Besides, who would ever want to harm such... Wait, it can't be. dunEldergleamT03IntroTopic02a The rumors were true! You carry the one weapon Eldergleam fears - Nettlebane. I beg of you, don't harm the tree! Nothing good can come of it. dunEldergleamT03IntroTopic02b The rumors were true... I beg of you, don't harm the tree! Nothing good can come of it. dunEldergleamT03NettlebaneBranchTopic You don't know what you're dealing with. There will be consequences if you harm that tree.

Besides, who would ever want to harm such beauty? dunEldergleamT03Shared02 He had your soft face, and that silly grin you get when you've done something wrong. That's his, too. dunEldergleamT03Shared02 I don't know. What'd he look like? dunEldergleamT03Shared02 Of course, sweetie. What'd you like to know? dunEldergleamT03Shared02 Mama, can we talk. You know, about papa? dunEldergleamT03SondIntroBranch01Topic Welcome to Eldergleam Sanctuary, my friend. If you have any questions, speak to Asta. dunFellglowKeepQST_WerewolfTopic Good. We'll take a short break, then move on to wide-area destruction spells. dunFellglowKeepQST_WerewolfTopic Again! dunFellglowKeepQST_WerewolfTopic And begin. dunFellglowKeepQST_WerewolfTopic I will find you, Fjola! dunFellglowKeepQST_WerewolfTopic Please, stranger!

Closer. I won't bite. Promise. dunForelhostJournalGreetTopic Come over here. Please pretty please? dunForelhostJournalGreetTopic I have a present for you. A nice, shiny present. dunForelhostJournalGreetTopic A little closer. dunForelhostQSTMidJournalBranchTopic And what? You couldn't read it yourself? Fine, give it here a moment. dunForelhostQSTMidJournalBranchTopic What are you waiting for?

Get in there and earn your pay. dunForelhostReadyToGo Very good. dunForelhostReadyToGo You there! You look like a sympathetic soldier. I require your assistance! dunForelhostSharedInfo01 The research I've done seems to indicate that Skorm Snow-Strider left part of his journal here after laying siege. dunForelhostSharedInfo02 I believe it should indicate how to enter the blocked off sections of the stronghold. dunForelhostSharedInfo03 I should warn you, Forelhost is quite haunted, but I'm sure you can handle it. Return to me here once you've obtained the staff. dunForelhostSharedInfoDragonCult They were among the first men to arrive from Atmora and they worshipped certain animals as avatars of the Gods; Dragons being foremost. dunForelhostSharedInfoDragonCult And for their bloody sacrifices, the Dragons gifted their priests with terrible power. dunForelhostSharedInfoDragonCult But their cruelty was too great for men to bear, and they rose up in what would be called the Dragon War and the Cult swept from the land. dunForelhostSharedInfoForelhost It seems that after the strength of the Cult was broken in the Dragon War a last contingent came here to create a stronghold and regroup. dunForelhostSharedInfoForelhost King Harald's forces crushed stragglers here the during the First Era and it has been haunted ever since, but the specifics of the siege are unclear. dunForelhostSharedInfoGeneralNeverMentionedYou Oh... well... of course they'd disavow all knowledge... spies are everywhere. dunForelhostSharedInfoGeneralNeverMentionedYou That's better. Now we can talk. dunForelhostSharedInfoYouDoIt Me? No, I'm too important to the war effort to risk life and limb in there... Besides, that's what I'm paying you for. dunForelhostWhatMission The General has sent me to obtain a powerful weapon for the war effort. dunForelhostWhatMission This was the last great bastion of the Dragon Cult, and their leader's mask was reported to be quite powerful. dunForelhostWhatMission Excellent work! dunForelhostWhatMission You have to keep your ward up, or else this won't work. I don't want to hurt you. dunForelhostWhatMission Hold still... dunForelhostWhatMission Now, cast the ward spell, and keep it up. dunFrostmereCryptQST_EisaCompleteCombat What a waste.

Suit yourself. dunFrostmereCryptQST_EisaFollowupTopic Just stay out of my way. dunFrostmereCryptQST_EisaQuestion *Sigh* I was part of the gang in the ruins here. Friend of mine went crazy and stole the boss' sword. They blamed me for it. dunFrostmereCryptQST_EisaQuestion Look, I'm done here. Mop the floor with these idiots for all I care. Just get out of my way. dunGauldursonQST_Gauldur1 Gauldur! dunGauldursonQST_Gauldur2 Bormah! DunHarmugstahlAdventurer01 I don't know, but this place is full of them. Every one I've encountered has been enchanted or the like. DunHarmugstahlAdventurer02 Look, I'm getting out of here. Normally, spiders make my skin crawl, but magic spiders? Blech. DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic What? Who are you? How did you get this far? DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Please hurry. To be honest, I'm kind of lonely here. As much as I hated getting sent to Honorhall, I really miss my friends there... DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic You've taken up enough of my time. Now leave. DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Think you can intimidate me? In my own orphanage? Ha! Not bloody likely. DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic You assist all you like. And get roasted for your trouble. I'll guard the exit. DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Arcturus took some men deeper in, wanted to be sure. We should maybe... assist them. DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Suppose not. But what's taking the others so long? The sooner we get out of here, the better. Smoke's getting bad. This place'll be raging soon. DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Dunno. One of these corpses. Does it matter? DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Which one was the rat? DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Thank you again for resolving my... problem. DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Ah, hello there, traveler. Come to the Nightgate for food or lodging? DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Need a room? Or maybe just some mead? DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Something I can get for ya? DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic I can't help you, friend. Talk to Hadring, the Innkeeper. DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic I value my privacy. So if you don't mind? DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic I really don't mean to be rude, friend, but I'm not feeling particularly sociable... DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic Hadring got himself another customer, eh? DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic The beds and beer are both lousy, you ask me. DunHarmugstahlEndDialogueTopic What do you want? DunHarmugstahlForceGreetTopic That was a close one! DunHarmugstahlQSTAdventurerLeaves Is there anything more revolting than spiders? Too many legs... DunHarmugstahlWarlockPlayer01 What? How did you get this far? DunHarmugstahlWarlockPlayer01 What? No! Get back in your cage! DunHarmugstahlWarlockPlayer01 Give me just a moment, and I'll have this open. DunHarmugstahlWarlockPlayer01 I know! I know! Just shut up and let me look, okay? DunHarmugstahlWarlockPlayer01 You'd better find that chest that fell off the boat or Gulum-Ei will have your hide! dunHarmugstahlWizardAttack Your corpse will feed my spiders for weeks. Now die, you fool! dunHighGateAnskaHellos Thank you again for all the help. dunHighGateAnskaHellos This is fun. dunHighGateAnskaHellos Sometimes I just like to watch them burn. dunHighGateAnskaHellos You look strong. dunHighGateRuinsAnskaCompleteDemand I'm sorry, but I can't let that happen. dunHighGateRuinsAnskaCompleteReward And here's a little something for helping me out. dunHighGateRuinsAnskaIanusu Some old priest buried here long ago. I've been searching for his tomb for a few years now. dunHighGateRuinsAnskaPost1 Hmm, it's encrypted. It'll take a while to figure this out. dunHighGateRuinsAnskaScrollTopic It's probably meaningless to you, but according to family legend it links our bloodline back to Ysgramor himself. dunHighGateRuinsExplHelpQST Maybe you could help find it, I just know it's in here. dunHighGateRuinsExplHelpQST Now, come with me, child. We'll prepare you for the goddess's presence. dunHighGateRuinsHelpAccept Great, with the two of us this should be easy. dunHighGateRuinsHelpDenyQST Oh alright. Well I'll be here for a bit if you change your mind. dunHighGateRuinsHelpRewardQST You can have anything except the scroll of course. dunHighGateRuinsPostQSTTopic Let me look. This is a very exciting moment for me. dunHighGateRuinsQSTAfterAttackl I'm sorry, I've come too far to lose it now. dunHighGateRuinsQSTCanAnskaHave Can I have it? It's worthless to you, but I can pay. dunHighGateRuinsQSTCanAnskaHaveReward Thank you so much, this scroll means a lot to my family. Take this for your trouble. dunHighGateRuinsQSTScrollReturnTopic Could it really be? Wow this is what I've been looking for. dunHighGateRuinsQSTWhatScroll I've finally located Vokun's crypt! The scroll I'm looking for just has to be here. dunHillgrundsTombAccept01 Vals Veran. My family has never really seen eye to eye with him and he has finally gone off the deep end. dunHillgrundsTombAccept01 He's gone in to defile our family tomb by using our ancestors for his filthy dark elf necromancy. dunHillgrundsTombAcceptIfDarkElf No offense, I mean I'm sure you aren't into any of that kind of stuff. dunHillgrundsTombAcceptIfDarkElf My aunt went in after him, but she hasn't come out yet and I'm afraid to go in by myself. dunHillgrundsTombAcceptIfDarkElf My aunt went in after him, but she hasn't come out yet and I don't think I can take him by myself. dunHillgrundsTombIntroDialogTopic Can you help me? He's in the tomb doing Gods know what with my dead relatives. dunHillgrundsTombKillingAncestors We're not killing them, they were already dead. We're helping them back to Sovngarde. dunHillgrundsTombKillingAncestors You found it! The passage goes through the sarcophagus... I don't like this... but we'd better keep going. dunHillgrundsTombKillingAncestors This looks like the area Agna told me about. She said that the bear would show the way... dunHillgrundsTombKillingAncestors Agna once told me there is a secret room deeper in where they buried disgraced members of the family. Maybe that will get us into the main chamber... dunHillgrundsTombKillingAncestors He's barred the door. Gods only know how he's... defiling the bodies of my ancestors in there! dunHillgrundsTombKillingAncestors No! Aunt Agna! Talos, why didn't I go in with her? dunHillgrundsTombKillingAncestors You're all heart, Vivienne. dunHillgrundsTombKillingAncestors You should tell her that her uncle is scum that betrayed his High King. Best she know now, Addvar. dunHillgrundsTombKillingAncestors Svari, you need to go home. Go home and stay there until your mother comes. dunHillgrundsTombLetsGo Great! I'll unlock the door and meet you inside, then you can lead the way. dunHillgrundsTombMidQuestGoodbye Vals Veran will die for what he's done. dunHillgrundsTombMidQuestGoodbye That dark elf is about to be a dead elf. dunHillgrundsTombMidQuestHello We should get after Vals Veran before he does more damage here. dunHillgrundsTombMidQuestHello The glory of killing it is ours, if you're with me! dunHillgrundsTombMidQuestHello Could you call yourselves Nords if you ran from this monster? Are you going to let me face this thing alone? dunHillgrundsTombMidQuestHello But it's more than our honor at stake here. Think of it - the first dragon seen in Skyrim since the last age. dunHillgrundsTombMidQuestHello Quickly, follow me! dunHillgrundsTombMidSecretDoorFarTopic I'll tell you more about it when we are nearby. dunHillgrundsTombMidSecretDoorFarTopic It's somewhere around here, Agna said to look to the Bear to find the way. dunHillgrundsTombQSTFINGoodbyeTopic Thanks again for your help. dunHillgrundsTombQSTFINHello I have things I should see to, but go ahead. dunHillgrundsTombQSTFINWhatNow Whatever I can to put my family here back to rest. dunHillgrundsTombQSTFINWhatNow After that? Probably just stick around here. Saw some good game on my way here, and I'd like to stay close for a while. dunHillgrundsTombQuestWrapUpBranchTopic Thank you for your help with Vals. Please, take this and leave me to see to Aunt Agna and my other family members. dunHillgrundsTombQuestWrapUpBranchTopic What? Who is this, Brother? Another of the smooth skins looking for food? But this one wasn't trapped with us... dunHillgrundsTombRejectQuest Fine, but I've locked the door so don't think you're getting in there without me. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Sigh... I'm not proud of it. I'm terrified of that place and Aunt Agna knows it. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion My Da locked me in there in a drunken rage when he left us... three days in there eating the offerings left for our dead before Aunt Agna found me. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion This... isn't over... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Hunh! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion All right... End it... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Gah! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Yah! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Come on. Finish it! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Rargh! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I can't believe it... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Agh! It... hurts... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion If I can just... stand up... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Please... mercy... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I'll... get you... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion No... not like this... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion You really shouldn't be in here, but I guess since it's you... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I'll let you stay. This time. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion If you were anyone else, I'd make you leave. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion You're not really supposed to... you know, be here. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion You know you're not supposed to be in here right now. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion You're not really allowed in here, you know. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion You can stay, but you're not supposed to be here. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Help yourself, by all means. Who cares if I starve? dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Don't worry about it. Keep it. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I guess you can have that. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion You must really need that. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I'll look the other way this time. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I didn't really want that anyway. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I suppose that's yours now. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Oh, what a clever thief you are. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion You could have asked before just taking it. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I guess I can look the other way, this time. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Guess they deserved it... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion What's done is done. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Well... that was an unpleasant bit of business. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I didn't know you were so cold-blooded... dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Remind me not to make you angry. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I guess you had your reasons. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion None of my business. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I don't think there's a need for that! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Was that really necessary? dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Why are you doing that? dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Papa told you to do that, not me! Now leave me alone! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I told you to weed the garden by sunset, and you didn't do it. Now you're in big trouble! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Why? What did I do? dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion You're going to get it, Sissel! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion That sounds lovely. You're very sweet. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Well that's where I want to build. In the fall forest. Give it an easterly view. The sunrise is almost as pretty as you are. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I've been there before, but I don't know it well. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion There's a clear spot just west of Riften. You know the area? dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Oh? Where? dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I've been thinking about building that cabin we talked about. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Perhaps. But not today. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion One of these days he'll have to learn. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I just feel like if I'm not here, then something could go wrong. Nils is a hard worker, but I wouldn't trust him to run things. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Just wondering when you'll be ready to give it up and settle down. Seems like you're always working. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Nearly thirty years, now. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion How long have you run this place, again? dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Oh! You behave, now! dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Hows about we figure out some way to keep warm tonight? dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion I'm sorry. What would you like to talk about? dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Elda, honey, let's not talk about the war. It's in the past. dunHillgrundsTombSharedAuntQuestion Tell me about the Great War. I hear you were in the battle of... dunHillgrundsTombSharedInfoTopic Ah! Oh, by Kyne you startled me. There's a necromancer around here so watch yourself. dunHunterAcceptQuest You must defeat guardian beasts, blessed by Kyne. dunHunterAtheistBranchTopic Good. This is Skyrim, and we should honor the old ways. These foreigners don't even respect their own gods, much less Kyne and her Sacred Trials. dunHunterBranchInitialTopic Well, look at this. Another city rat crawled outside the walls. I don't suppose you've come up here to tell old Froki about your supposed Divines? dunHunterBranchInitialTopic Just what we need. City folk barging in, probably looking for an offering to their precious Divines. dunHunterDivinesQuery They're stolen idols! Imposter gods, sold by silver tongues. No thank you. Froki will not forget Kyne, or her Sacred Trials. dunHunterFrokiAboutHamingTopic Grandson. He's a strong lad. His parents were at Helgen when, well you know. dunHunterFrokiAboutHamingTopic Can't say I was a great father the first time around. Now that he's here it's like a second chance. He's a good lad. dunHunterFrokiBowTopic I don't believe it. I made that bow myself. Been through some messes with it, let me tell you. dunHunterFrokiBowTopic You know what? I want you to keep it. My great hunts are behind me, but yours are yet to come. dunHunterHellos Someday I'm going to kill a dragon all by myself. dunHunterHellos I'm eleven years old, and I could take you. dunHunterHellos Kynesgrove is this way. We can travel together or split up and meet there, your choice. dunHunterHellos That's better. Let's get on the road to Kynesgrove. dunHunterKyneLoreTopic Those sycophants in the Temple would call her Kynareth. Just a pale shadow of the truth, like all the Temple Divines. dunHunterKyneLoreTopic Kyne! Blessed Warrior-Wife. Shor's widow, sacred to any true Nord hunter. She's the mother of men and beasts, and her veil is the storm. dunHunterProposalFinal Do you think you're strong enough for Kyne's blessing? I would be glad to pass this tradition down. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked Here's where you need to go. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked Check your map. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked I bid you to drink deeply from the Ebonmere, mortal. For this is where the Agent of Nocturnal is born. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked The Oath has been struck, the die has been cast and your fate awaits you in the Evergloam. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked Don't mistake my tone for displeasure, after all, you've obediently performed your duties to the letter. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked But we both know this has little to do with honor and oaths and loyalty. It's about the reward; the prize. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked Fear not. You'll have your trinkets, your desire for power, your hunger for wealth. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked So... once again the Key has been stolen and a "champion" returns it to the Sepulcher. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked Now that Ebonmere has been restored, you stand before me awaiting your accolades; a pat on your head... a kiss on your cheek. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked What you fail to realize is your actions were expected and represent nothing more than the fulfillment of your agreement. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked It's been a number of years since I've set foot on your world. Or perhaps it's been moments. One tends to lose track. dunHunterQSTsharedMapMarked My, my. What do we have here? dunHunterQSTSkeeverWhat Don't mock it, pup. Even the lowliest beasts can kill the weak and arrogant. We'll try more powerful enemies next, if you survive this. dunHunterQuestHookBranchTopic That's what an old man gets for thinking the younger generation might be interested in learning some honor. dunHunterQuestProposalTOpic It's an old Nord Tradition, a test to prove your worth in the eyes of Kyne. Show that you're a hunter and no simple butcher. dunHunterQuestProposalTOpic Kyne teaches us to respect the beasts and blesses the hunter who will face their champions. True Nord hunters are those who survive the Trials. dunHunterTier01BranchTopic I'll anoint you with the symbol of the wolf, the crab and the skeever. This will compel the guardian to appear when you reach his lair. dunHunterTier01BranchTopic Return when you've defeated the guardian wolf, crab and skeever. dunHunterTier02BranchTopic Maybe you're not so soft, after all. Now you're ready for a real challenge. dunHunterTier02BranchTopic I'll anoint you with the symbol of the Bear, the Sabrecat and the Mammoth. Tread carefully, these are mighty beasts. dunHunterTier02BranchTopic The guardian spirits of Bear, Mammoth and Sabre Cat await you. Return when they are defeated. dunHunterTier02BranchTopic Kyne's guardian troll awaits you. Complete this trial and you'll have proven yourself a true hunter. dunHunterTier03BranchTopic You do Kyne proud. Only one challenge remains. Go and defeat the troll champion. dunHunterTier03BranchTopic Then you finally know what it means to be a true hunter, in the Nord way. dunHunterTier03BranchTopic For this you have earned the Blessing of Kyne, and can count me as a friend. dunIronbindBeemJaOpener Speak with Miss Salma, if you wish to speak. dunIronbindBeemJaOpener I grow tired of debating this. If Miss Salma insists on this folly, so be it. dunIronbindBeemJaOpener I admit, there is strength in numbers. Perhaps between us... dunIronbindBeenjaBetrayalBranchTopic Fool. I should thank you. I knew the girl wouldn't be strong enough to help me kill Gathrik alone. dunIronbindBetrayalContinue There's just one more thing I need from you. To fully absorb Gathrik's power I require a blood sacrifice. dunIronbindBetrayalContinue Your blood should be good enough. This will go easier for us both if you don't bother fighting back. dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic We're in this together. Stay close. dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic This is no time for idle talk. dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic Not now. Stay alert. dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic Let's clear the place out first. Then we'll gather our loot. dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic Eyes open. Danger could be anywhere. dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic This place is sure to make us rich! dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic I think I almost got it. dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic Come on, just open. dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic You've been at it for five minutes. Here, let me try. dunIronbindBlockingBranchTopic I can't get it open. dunIronbindInvestigate01 Gold, silver. Gems, maybe? Only one way to find out! dunIronbindInvistPostBye Go on without me. I think I need to be alone for a while. dunIronbindSalmaIntroTopic We should be inside, loading up on treasure. Worry-scales here thinks we should wait, though. Don't get any ideas, either. We were here first. dunIronbindSalmaIntroTopic I don't care what Beem says. It's high time we get in there and find our fortune. dunIronbindSalmaMournBeemJaBranchTopTopic Father never trusted Beem. I always thought he was just being overprotective. dunIronbindSalmaNoticeCorpseofBeemJa Oh, Beem... dunIronbindSalmaObserveZkey Hey now, don't take all the good stuff! dunIronbindSalmaPostQuestTopic I don't know. Beem-Ja has looked after me since I was knee-high to him. I need to rest, and then I think I'm going back to High Rock. dunIronbindSalmaPostTreasureTopic Look, I never needed treasure. My father owns land; our family is wealthy. I just wanted adventure. Not this. dunIronbindSalmaProposal Not without us, you aren't! I'm sure there's enough for everyone, after all. dunIronbindSalmaProposal Come on, Beem-Ja. We're going. dunIronbindSalmaReactionSharedInfo Beem! What are you doing? Stop it! dunMarkarthWizardsQuarters_Shared1 Over here! Hurry! dunMarkarthWizardsQuarters_Shared23 Intruder! Help! dunMarkarthWizardsQuarters_Shared45 Help! In here! dunMarkarthWizardsQuarters_Shared67 Backup! I need some help in here! dunMiddenVelehkFarewell See you on the other side, mortal. dunMidVelehkBlockingBranchTopic Where am I? You! Out with it, then. dunMidVelehkBlockingBranchTopic Ah, here's the blushing bride now. Let's begin the ceremony. dunMidVelehkBlockingBranchTopic Ah, here's the proud groom now. Let's begin the ceremony. dunMistwatchChrister002 I'm sorry, I'm just... you're right. Let me explain. dunMistwatchChrister003 Fjola, my wife, left the farm on errands and never came back. It's been months, and I've been searching for her since. dunMistwatchChrister005 I heard a rumor that these bandits were ransoming captives, so I thought she may be here. dunMistwatchChrister006 I managed to sneak past the guards and get this far, but... I don't think I can go on. I'm no warrior! Please, can you look for her? dunMistwatchChrister007 Honestly? I have no idea. But I've looked all over and the kidnappings here started around when she disappeared. So I have to hope... dunMistwatchChrister008 Thank you! I don't have much, but I can give you some coin for the trouble. dunMistwatchChrister011 One of the guards dropped this key while I hid. I wager it will come in handy for you. Please hurry! dunMistwatchChristerDeadWithProof That... I gave it to her on our wedding day. Help me, Divines... it's true isn't it? dunMistwatchChristerDeadWithProof I'm sorry. Keep the ring. I cannot bear the weight of them in my heart, and I must make the journey alone now. Thank you for... thank you. dunMistwatchChristerMyWife01 It's my wife, Fjola! I think she's being held in this tower. dunMistwatchIntroTopic Stendarr's mercy - you aren't one of them. Please, you've got to help me! dunMistwatchQSTChristerEnd02 Her marriage band? Then there's hope - she was here! dunMistwatchQSTChristerEnd02 I have to move on if I want to find her. Please, take the coin I promised. Blessings of Stendarr on you! dunMistwatchQSTChristerEnd03 What? My Fjola would never... dunMistwatchQSTChristerEnd04 You monster! I'll kill you for this! dunMistwatchQSTChristerHaventFoundFjolaTopic Until you can find out whether Fjola is here there's nothing I care to to discuss. dunMistwatchQSTChristerHaventFoundFjolaTopic What news? Why isn't Fjola with you? dunMistwatchQSTFiolaB01 Then stop wasting my time. dunMistwatchQSTFiolaB02 How did... no, forget it. I don't care to know. I'm free of the little man, and that's what matters. dunMistwatchQSTFiolaB03 I owe you a debt, and I aim to repay it. We'll see each other again someday. For now, goodbye, and thanks. dunMistwatchQSTFiolaQuestEndStart I didn't expect to see you again. What became of my doting husband? dunMistwatchQSTFiolaQuestEndStart Oh, it's you. I didn't think you could handle this on your own. Did you get rid of Christer? dunMistwatchQSTFjola01 All right, snowback. Who are you, and what are you doing in my tower? dunMistwatchQSTFjola02 Fjola? How do you know that name? dunMistwatchQSTFjola03 Christer? He's here? dunMistwatchQSTFjola04 The fool's my husband. I'm Fjola - or I was, once. Don't you see? dunMistwatchQSTFjola04 I left that old scab. Came home to Skyrim, and found this rabble of bandits. dunMistwatchQSTFjola06 Didn't take much to prove myself and knock them into shape. Now every free blade from here to Windhelm wants to sign on for a piece. dunMistwatchQSTFjola07 And it won't end here. I'd die before I went back. dunMistwatchQSTFjola08 None. Not back to him. dunMistwatchQSTFjola09 Better men have tried. Let's finish this. dunMistwatchQSTFjola09 You think so? Let's see who the real woman is here. dunMistwatchQSTFjola11 I don't know. I never expected the old bag to follow me so far. Just get rid of him. dunMistwatchQSTFjola11 But don't kill him. I don't hate the man. I just want him to go back to his farm and forget about me. dunMistwatchQSTFjola13 Take my wedding band. Stuhn only knows why I've kept it this long. He'll recognize it. Tell him whatever you think will convince him to leave. dunMistwatchQSTFjola13 The ring itself is worth a few bits. Keep it as thanks for cutting off the last vestige of an unwanted fate. dunMistwatchQSTGuardTrespass Unless you've come to pay a ransom, turn around and walk away. dunMistwatchQSTGuardTrespass Hey, who's there? dunMistwatchWEPrisonderHelpTopic Oh, thank goodness! I've been wandering alone for so long, I thought I'd never see another soul again. dunMossMotherHelp1 You'd do that for a stranger? I don't know what to say. Lead on, I suppose. dunMossMotherHelp2 You'd really risk your life for a stranger's honor? I don't even know what to say. Thank you, my friend. I'll wait here. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic Folks have gone missing the past few weeks. Word now's that our hunters are gone, too. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic Say, if you're traveling, could you keep an eye out for them? Valdr and his men. I think they were after bear up north. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic Bottle... their flame? I can't... No, I don't think I've any interest in that sort of thing. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic A pity. You have any idea how much fangs would be worth? Or even better -- bottle their flame. The right buyer would pay an immense amount. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic No, which is fine with me. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic You haven't heard any more about dragon sightings, have you? dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic What? Oh, nothing. It's just... It's an interesting development. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic Opportunities for what? dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic I do hope it's true. So many opportunities... dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic There's talk of it, but I find it hard to believe. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic Is it true? Are there really dragons in Skyrim? dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic I'll think about it. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic Would you like me to send someone? Faralda or Phinis, perhaps? dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic Dragons? Well, that's fascinating. We should have someone look into that. dunMossMotherQST_BrandrInitialTopic I continue to hear things about dragon sightings in Skyrim. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Ari gave me this dagger when we first started hunting together. Always said it brought her luck. You should be the one to carry it now. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Since my customers are mostly local, I just knock on their front doors the next day. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger What do you do when a customer can't afford to pay for a meal or a drink? dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Of course, Julienne. What's on your mind? dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Miss Faida, may I ask you a question? dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger If the Nine are willing! dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger You've been working hard lately. You'll make a fine innkeeper someday. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger I won't forget. I'll do it after I get the dishes cleaned. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Mind you don't forget to sweep up, Julienne. The floor's looking a bit dusty. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Yes, it's a great shame. Gods willing, I'll find someone just like her one day. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Well then, it's too bad my wife is already taken. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Yes, I think I'd enjoy a woman like your wife. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger One of these days, we'll have to find you a good woman like my Olda. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger I'll bring a blanket and some wine. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Oh, that sounds nice. Yes, I think I'll join you. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger I'm thinking of going for a walk up the mountain later. Would you like to come? dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger See that you do. You're an embarrassment, Horgeir. I don't know why I married you. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger I must have forgotten. I'll take care of it tomorrow. dunMossMotherQST_GiveDagger Faida came by today. She says you left the tavern last night without paying for your drinks. dunMossMotherQST_HealedWithoutDLGBranchTopic Let's see if this works... dunMossMotherQST_HelpLater Please, I need help! I don't want to die on this damned log! dunMossMotherQST_HelpPotion I just need a little to get going. dunMossMotherQST_HelpSpell Thank you. Please hurry! dunMossMotherQST_ReturnTopic Changed your mind? Well, I can't give up so easily. I'm heading back. dunMossMotherQST_ValdrHellos Step lightly. Who knows if those things can hear us or not. dunMossMotherQST_ValdrHellos Be careful. They're faster than you'd think. dunMossMotherQST_ValdrHellos I heard Valdr made it back safe. Too bad about the others, but at least it's one less thing to worry about. dunMossMotherQST_ValdrHellos Hello again, friend. I'll never forget what you did for me. dunMossMotherWoundedTopic Thank Kynareth for you, stranger. I'd almost given up hope of walking away from here. dunMossMotherWoundedTopic Please, do you have a potion you can spare? dunMossMotherWoundedTopic Please! I'm not sure I'll make it on my own. dunMossMotherWoundedTopic Hello? You! Over here! Please, I need help! dunMossMotherWoundedTopic That is a lot of blood. dunMossMotherWoundedTopic Not sure how much longer I can hold out here. dunMossMotherWoundedTopic I really got myself into it this time. dunMossMother_ForcegreetCompleteTopic It's done, then. Justice, if you can call it that. dunMossMother_ForcegreetCompleteTopic Look, I want you to have this. I know it isn't much, but it's important to me. dunMossMother_Grard_HealedInitial Much better. Thanks, friend. I wouldn't have lasted much longer without that. dunMossMother_Grard_HealedProblem But now what? I can't just walk away. Not with my friends' bodies in there, being torn apart by those beasts. dunMossMother_Grard_Injured I may have lost a drop or two of blood. Truth is, I'm not going anywhere like this. Hurts to breathe. dunMossMother_Grard_What We tracked a bear to this den. Good coin for those pelts. We had the big sow cornered when they showed up. Three of them, out of nowhere. dunMossMother_Grard_What Spriggans. Niels went down before we even knew to run. Ari died just inside. I never even thought the things were real. dunMossMother_Grard_Who Name's Valdr. I hunt out of Falkreath. dunMossMother_IfYoureEver I'll give them a proper burial, then head back. Come find me if you're ever in Falkreath. You'll always be welcome at my door. dunNchuandZelQstCalcimoRewardTopic Let's see. Ah, so that's what happened to Staubin. Tragic, but I warned him he was leading those people on a fool's errand. dunNchuandZelQstCalcimoRewardTopic Unfortunately, sometimes the stone of scholarship is built on the foundation of death. I'll inform the kin. dunNchuandZelQstCalcimoRewardTopic Here, I usually pay researchers for their work when they emerge from the ruins, but they won't be needing it anymore. dunNchuandZelQstCalcimoRewardTopic Oh really? Hmm... this looks like someone from Staubin's little group. A brave scholar, but not very wise.... dunNchuandZelQstCalcimoRewardTopic If you find Staubin, it would be good to see any notes he may have collected. I doubt you'll find him alive, though. dunNchuandZelQstCalcimoRewardTopic You know, I was there for that whole sordid affair. Marvelous time! Butterflies, blood, a Fox, a severed head... Oh, and the cheese! To die for. dunNilheimAttackLineTopic Looks like we've got ourselves another fool. dunNilheimDeadCampQSTTopic My men? What did you do? You'll die for this. dunNilheimDeadCampQSTTopic We're close now. I can see the camp. dunNilheimDeadCampQSTTopic It's just across the bridge and up that hill. dunNilheimPreHellosQST Are they gone? dunNilheimPreHellosQST Please help. I can pay you. dunNilheimPreHellosQST And I've got better things to do than listen to more of your fantasies. dunNilheimTelravCampNearbyQST My camp is nearby in the ruins of Nilheim. Get me there safely and you'll be rewarded. dunNorthwatchKeepQSTGuardHello Halt! dunNorthwatchKeepQSTGuardHello You have no business here, so keep walking. dunNorthwatchKeepQSTGuardHello What are you looking at? dunNorthwatchKeepQSTGuardHello Leave me alone. dunNorthwatchKeepQSTGuardHello I've got to get out of here! dunPOIReachForswornRaidQST_Hello Thanks for the help. Not many willing to take on the Forsworn these days. dunPOIReachForswornRaidQST_Hello Painting won't put food on the table, but our crops will. Be patient Aduri... it will happen someday, I promise. dunPOIReachForswornRaidQST_Hello It's not going to be next year, nor the year after that! You just care about this farm more than you care about me! dunPOIReachForswornRaidQST_Hello I'm sorry, Aduri, not this year. Perhaps next year after the harvest, I don't know. There's so much to do. dunPOIReachForswornRaidQST_Hello Have you decided if I can head up to Solitude yet? I hear it's the best place to meet someone who may be willing to teach me to paint. dunPOIReachForswornRaidQST_Hello All right, I understand. I'll do it tomorrow, okay? Just get off my back. dunPOIReachForswornRaidQST_Hello Boring? That food is paying for everything. If we lose even a single crop, we could starve or be forced to beg. I won't have it! dunPOIReachForswornRaidQST_Hello Because it's boring. The fields are going to do fine... you don't have to dote over them so much. dunPOIReachForswornRaidQST_Hello Aduri, how come the fields haven't been tilled like I asked? dunPOITundraWitchShackQST_Attack Now you die! dunPOITundraWitchShackQST_Attack You should never have come here! dunPOITundraWitchShackQST_WitchAttacks No way to know if anyone else made it out alive. But this place is going to be swarming with Imperials soon enough. We'd better clear out of here. dunPOITundraWitchShackQST_WitchHellos I'm just a poor old woman, dear. No need to trouble yourself with me. dunPOITundraWitchShackQST_WitchHellos It's so nice to have a visitor. dunPOITundraWitchShackQST_WitchHellos I get so lonely out here. dunPOITundraWitchShackQST_WitchHellos It's tough, just scraping by out here. But I make do. dunPOIWitchAttackLine Fool! None may know my secret! dunRannveigQSTATTACK No matter. Another one will be along any time now. dunRannveigQSTATTACK Well...that's disappointing. This one didn't survive the fall either. dunRannveigQSTShared1 I'm sorry! This isn't what I want! dunRannveigQSTShared2 I don't want to do this! dunRannveigQSTShared3 I don't have any choice! I'm sorry! dunRannveigQSTShared4 Is someone there? Stay back! I don't want to attack you. dunRannveigQSTShared5 Stay away! dunRannveigQSTShared6 Stay back or I'll be forced to attack you! dunRavenscareShared01 No! Don't leave me here! I beg you to let me out! dunRavenscareShared02 Please! I'll pay you. I'll give you whatever you want. Just don't leave me here! dunRavenscareShared03 Hurry! Get me out of here! dunRavenscareShared04 Vipir "the Fleet." The only man who's foolish enough to name himself after his bedroom prowess. dunRavenscareShared04 So, Sapphire. Can I do anything for you, or more to the point... to you? dunRavenscareShared04 This place is getting worse and worse. dunRavenscareShared04 She said that she barely had enough coin to cover it and I should come back later. Can you imagine that? dunRavenscareShared04 I think I know, but go ahead. dunRavenscareShared04 I tried to fence some goods to Tonilia, and you know what she told me? dunRavenscareShared04 I'll keep that in mind. dunRavenscareShared04 Hey, I still have a contact in Valenwood that may have some work for us. You're welcome to join me. dunRavenscareShared04 Yeah, I know what you mean. If things don't start getting better soon, I may look for work elsewhere. dunRavenscareShared04 What in the name of Oblivion is going on in this place? dunRavenscareShared04 I think if Brynjolf catches wind of it, he'll boot you right out of here... so drop it already! dunRavenscareShared04 Use the key to open the door! We have to be quick! dunRavenscareShared04 Well, yes! Please! dunRavenscareShared04 If I wanted to hear a tall tale, I'll read a children's storybook. Get some better stories, Vipir. dunRavenscareShared04 Your idea to start a brothel, right? Do you want me to tell you exactly what I think? dunRavenscareShared04 Well, if you don't want to hear it, that's your loss. dunRavenscareShared04 Hold a moment, Rune. What did you think about my idea? dunRavenscareShared04 Is this your tale of single-handedly fighting off a pack of trolls or my favorite... where you bedded four women on the same night? dunRavenscareShared04 Brynjolf, something stinks around here and it's more than just the Ratway. We all know it. The question is, what's Mercer going to do about it? dunRavenscareShared04 So, the ending of my tale I began earlier... dunRavenscareShared04 Well, I see your wounds have healed but your pride still needs some time. dunRavenscareShared04 You just better hope this one isn't another waste of my coin. dunRavenscareShared04 Pretty angry actually. I can't believe I botched the Goldenglow job. That should have been like stealing a sweetroll from a baby. dunRavenscareShared04 I don't understand it either. They were a sure thing, I swear. dunRavenscareShared04 How are you feeling, Vex? dunRavenscareShared04 I hope this deal goes through. I'm putting quite a bit of coin on the line... and the last two you set up fell through. dunRavenscareShared04 Mercer is being Mercer. If he has a plan to get us out of this rut, then he isn't sharing it with me. dunRavenscareShared04 All right. I have everything you asked for all ready to go. dunRavenscareShared04 Well, what the hell is Mercer going to do about this mess? Have you even talked to him? dunRavenscareShared04 No, and I'm not about to either. I value my life you know... you may want to remember that for yourself. dunRavenscareShared04 Thank you, Vex. You've always been the most reliable one in the Guild. dunRavenscareShared04 What about Mercer? Have you asked him? dunRavenscareShared04 I've picked up some new clients and did a few jobs on my own, but I'm not sure if that will cover our expenses. dunRavenscareShared04 If he does, he isn't telling me a thing. I've asked, but all I get from him are more questions. dunRavenscareShared04 Oh my... umm, you won't let Mercer hear about this will you? Ahem. dunRavenscareShared04 You seem to be a bit closer to Brynjolf than the rest of us. Is he giving you any idea why this place seems to be falling apart? dunRavenscareShared04 You idiot. He said "firs" not "furs." It was a damn logging caravan! dunRavenscareShared04 No, but I know that you're going to turn up missing if you keep up this kind of talk. dunRavenscareShared04 That's impossible. I distinctly heard that lout in the tavern say it was a full shipment of furs. They should be worth a fortune. dunRavenscareShared04 You stupid cow. You don't know what you're missing. dunRavenscareShared04 Delvin, that last shipment we heisted on the Cyrodiil frontier was worthless! dunRavenscareShared04 When you're in your grave and I'm standing over it. Now get out of my way! dunRavenscareShared04 Oh, really? Well then... how can I make that happen? dunRavenscareShared04 Absolutely. dunRavenscareShared04 So, what do you think, my dear? Could a beautiful woman like you ever see yourself with an old codger like me? dunRavenscareShared04 You're an idiot. dunRavenscareShared04 So is it true, bandits get... you know, real friendly with the wildlife? dunRavenscareShared04 Yeah, what of it? dunRavenscareShared04 So, Thrynn, you were a bandit, huh? dunRavenscareShared04 I will, I will... dunRavenscareShared04 You tell this sorry bunch of thieves that they need to put down their flagons and get to work if they want to keep their status! dunRavenscareShared04 If I told you that, I'd be lying. We haven't had a bite in weeks. Our clients are starting to get angry. dunRavenscareShared04 Delvin, please tell me you have good news. dunRavenscareShared04 I'll speak to the Jarl and see what I can do. Just keep them at bay a little longer. dunRavenscareShared04 Normally I'd agree, but we've already lost so many contacts across Skyrim. If we lose the ones in Riften, we may as well close up shop. dunRavenscareShared04 There's no need to be concerned. We've been through more difficult times than this. dunRavenscareShared04 I think we need to prepare for the worst. The coffers are dwindling and I can barely keep our contacts happy. dunRavenscareShared04 Two reasons. He's rich and because we need every sword we can get right now. dunRavenscareShared04 Remind me why we even bother to allow him to be a part of the Guild. dunRavenscareShared04 Yes, I know. That last job was my fault. I obviously thought Niruin was ready, but I was wrong. dunRavenscareShared04 Do we have anyone reliable to send out there? I don't want to look the fool again in front of her, Brynjolf. dunRavenscareShared04 Maven has been nagging us about her request. Any thoughts? dunRavenscareShared04 Yes, I'm afraid you're right. Such a shame... dunRavenscareShared04 I have. I think we may have to turn this one over to the Dark Brotherhood. dunRavenscareShared04 I trust you've applied the appropriate pressure in order to change their mind? dunRavenscareShared04 Sorry Mercer, they no longer wish to be involved in our operation. dunRavenscareShared04 Brynjolf, have you had a chance to speak to our contact in Whiterun? dunRavenscareShared04 Thank you so much for taking care of those thieves. The Riverwood Trader is back to the way it used to be! dunRavenscareShared04 Thanks for bringing the claw back. dunRavenscareShared04 It means so much to us to have the claw back where it belongs. Thank you! dunRavenscareShared04 Thanks for bringing the claw back. dunRavenscarMainTopic Not now! It's time to get back at these crows. dunRobbersGorgeQST_AskToll2 Don't play dumb with me. Pay up, and you walk right through. Refuse, and you'll never see the other side. dunRobbersGorgeQST_Decline In these parts? Good luck. But don't come this way again. dunRobbersGorgeQST_Pay Hmm... looks like it's all here. Okay, go on through. But stick to the road, and don't make any sudden moves. dunRobbersGorgeQST_Poverty Not my problem. You want through here, you pay. Or else. dunRobbersGorgeQST_Refuse Not a chance. Get'em, boys! dunRobbersGorgeQST_SentryInitialTopic All right, that's far enough. You know how this works- toll here is 100 gold. dunRobbersGorgeQST_SentrySubsequentTopic Move along. dunSleepingTreeCampAboutTreeTopic How the tree came to grow there is a bit of a mystery... dunSleepingTreeCampAboutTreeTopic Some say that when Vvardenfell erupted, a piece was blown to the middle of Skyrim and from the crater grew the tree. dunSleepingTreeCampAboutTreeTopic I've also heard that it was a spore that fell from an island floating in the sky, but that just sounds like nonsense. dunSleepingTreeCampAboutTreeTopic All I know is that the sap makes you feel as healthy as a cave troll, but slow as a drunk horker. And that and it fetches good coin. dunSleepingTreeCampNoteFoundTopic Did you? So Ulag didn't make it passed those giants then? More's the pity. dunSleepingTreeCampNoteFoundTopic If you found any of the sap, I'd be willing to pay you the same cut I offered him. Better price than you are likely to find otherwise. dunSleepingTreeCampSellOneSapTopic Ah, of course! How much have you got? dunSleepingTreeCampSharedInfo01 Very good. Be sure to bring any more Sleeping Tree Sap you find to me. dunSouthfringeQSTwhynotamembernow I left for a few days in Riften. When I came back Bashnag accused me of trying to sell him out to the Thalmor. I was cursed and chased off. dunStonehillBarrowQST_EisaBranchTopic Who in Dagon's name are you? Speak, or I'll cut you down where you stand. dunStonehillBarrowQST_EisaBranchTopic Who knows. The cat was crazy. She was a fool to trust him. dunStonehillBarrowQST_EisaBranchTopic But.. stealing the boss's sword? Did he have a death wish? dunStonehillBarrowQST_EisaBranchTopic Ra'jirr was always dragging her into things. dunStonehillBarrowQST_EisaBranchTopic But... Eisa? She's smarter than that. dunStonehillBarrowQST_KyrBranchTopic *Gasp* Finally, someone came!... I... dunStonehillBarrowQST_KyrBranchTopic *coughs* The cat... *gasp* Ra'jiir... ambushed me. He's trying to take the sword back! I... can't... *gasp* dunTrevasWatchCompleteTopic Thank you for your help. Did you see my family inside? dunTrevasWatchEndRewardQST Anyway, here is your reward. Thanks again. dunTrevasWatchExplanationQST We left to help with the war and these filth bags swooped in and seized the place. My family is in there. dunTrevasWatchFamilyNotSeenQST Hopefully they made it to safety before the attack. I'll begin the search after a quick restock. dunTrevasWatchQSTAllClear You've already taken care of it? Thank you friend. dunTrevasWatchQSTBadBlood You ask a lot of questions for a mercenary. Just get in there and open the gate, we'll try and provide help once that's done. dunTrevasWatchQSTBruridContinue I suspect Brurid planned this, there's been bad blood between us since the king's death. dunTrevasWatchQSTBruridContinue But to invade my home, kidnap my family... dunTrevasWatchQSTGoodbye Fine then. The blood of my family is on your hands as well as Brurid's. dunTrevasWatchQSTGoodbye Now, back to the matter at hand. dunTrevasWatchQSTGoodbye I suppose that's the fairest deal we're likely to get. dunTrevasWatchQSTGoodbye Pay no attention to him. A ponderous windbag, like most Imperial generals. dunTrevasWatchQSTHaveAPlan The front gate is locked so you'll need to use the mine entrance behind us. Open the front gate and we'll try and give you some support. dunTrevasWatchQSTRewardHelp My family is everything to me. Clear the fort and on top of the posted reward you can have whatever items you'd like. dunTrevasWatchQSTStalleoHello Are you here to help? dunTrevasWatchQSTStalleoHello I will take back my family's castle. dunTrevasWatchQSTStalleoHello Agreed, we can't afford to try again. dunTrevasWatchQSTStalleoHello Help will arrive soon. dunTrevasWatchQSTTheBest Good, the place is crawling with bandits. We lost some good men trying to take it earlier. dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic He's a rogue mage who defected at the beginning of the war. I turned him in but apparently he escaped and now this. dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Stop! That's priceless! dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Please, I don't have anything to pay you with! Don't destroy my urn! dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic If I had it, I'd pay! There's no need to do that! dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic No! You're going to break it! dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic I can't pay, I can't! dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic I can't believe you're doing this! Stop! dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Ralof! What are you doing here? Ah... I'll be right down. dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Hod! Come here a minute. I need your help with something. dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic You're right. Follow me. dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Is there somewhere we can talk? There's no telling when the news from Helgen will reach the Imperials... dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Not a comrade yet, but a friend. I owe him my life, in fact. dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Not a comrade yet, but a friend. I owe her my life, in fact. dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic And who's this? One of your comrades? dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Gerdur, I'm fine. At least now I am. dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Gerdur... dunTrevasWatchQuestRunningTopic Are you hurt? What's happened? dunTrevasWatchStalleoAccept I wish we could offer more help, but our last attack went sour and we're all that is left. dunTrevasWatchStalleoAccept Good luck. dunValtheimKeepNoMoney That's a real shame. Gonna make it hard for you to pay a healer after we cave your skull in. dunValtheimKeepPaidBranchTopic Get on your way before I change my mind. dunValtheimKeepPaidBranchTopic Go on. Get lost. dunValtheimKeepPayGold Wise move. Now get out of here ya goat licker, before I decide the toll's gone up. dunValtheimKeepPersuade Eh, fine. I can tell you aren't worth the trouble. Just get out of here before I change my mind. dunValtheimKeepPersuade How does a knife in the gut sound? It's 200 gold or your life. dunValtheimKeepShouldHaveLeftBranchTopic Should have left when you had the chance, friend. Now we're gonna have to spill your brains on the road here. dunValtheimKeepThreatBranchTopic Hold it. This here's a toll road, see? Yer gonna have to hand over, say, 200 gold if you want to use our road. dunValtheimKeepThreaten You know, now that I think of it, that sounds fair. Just shove off before the others notice. dunValtheimKeepThreaten Ha! Tough talk for someone who's about to have their guts spilled. dunValthumeFaith More dangerous than you know. Left alone, however, he will awaken when he has grown too powerful to be stopped. This is the only way to be sure. dunValthumeGhostAtPeaceTopic Thank you, hero. Now I may finally rest. Take Hevnoraak's iron mask. It may be of use to you, and serve as some reward for your feat here. dunValthumePieces Very well. Empty the vessels into the sconce near the throne, then sit in the throne. dunValthumePieces When you have done so, I will unbind Hevnoraak. He will awaken in a weakened state, but the lich is still to be reckoned with. Be ready. dunValthumeQSTHevnoraakTopic After that, fear was enough to keep them in line. He could torture and humiliate them and they would not rebel. Even in death, they serve him still. dunValthumeQSTHevnoraakTopic He had a way of enthralling people and built up a loyal army of followers. Good men fell under his spell and were forever twisted. Made... evil. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Hevnoraak planned his resurrection obsessively before dying. My duty in life and in death is to make sure he stays in this tomb for eternity. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Now, clear your mind and breathe deeply. Good concentration is very important for spellcasting. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Wow! Then I could dive into a river and swim so far away that Britte and father could never find me. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Oh, it's much better than that. I will teach you how to breathe underwater, with no need to turn into one of those ugly creatures. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Oh! Are you going to teach me how to turn into a mud crab? dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Today I'll teach you a useful spell that might just save your life. If you should ever fall into a river, you'll be very glad you learned it. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic There's times I think you're the coldest man in Skyrim. This is your own flesh and blood you're talking about. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic They've grown, all right - lazier and more stupid. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Your daughters are growing up fast, Lemkil. Seems like only yesterday they were newborn babes. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Hah! And what would a witless oaf like you know about raising children? dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic You keep on like you are, you'll end up with two daughters who hate you. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic You're right, it's none of your business. How about you keep your nose out of it? dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic I'm not saying it's my business, but I have to ask. Why are you so cruel to your little girls? dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic When you're rich, you can waste as much money as you like on far-fetched business ideas. In the meantime, there's a farm to run. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Hey, people have paid money for stranger things. Take our cow dung - we sell that by the wagon load. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Hah! Who in their right mind would pay for dirt? You'd get laughed out of Whiterun for even trying it. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Maybe we should start selling the soil along with the dung. We could make a tidy profit. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic The way our crops have been growing, Rorikstead must have the richest soil in the hold. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic It's too fine a day to dwell on such things. Let's get back to work and forget about wars and orphans for awhile. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic I was lucky. If you hadn't rescued me, I'd probably be a thief, a mercenary or something even worse. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Lives lost, crops burned, land ruined... there's no greater sin than war. And yet, you were an orphan, and you've made something of your life. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic I'll tell you who I don't envy - those poor children who lost their parents in this war. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Another fine day at work in the fields. I don't envy those city folk who miss out on the joys of working the land. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic I'm old enough to decide how to live my life, and I'd be honored to wear your armor, if you'd just let me. I'm strong enough to handle it. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic I've told you a hundred times, I lock that chest for a reason. I don't want you getting a head full of ideas about adventure and glory. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic I just wanted to try on your old armor, from back when you were a soldier. I thought I might be old enough to wear it. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic I heard you sneaking around downstairs last night. Were you trying to break into my chest again, son? I've told you to leave it alone. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Yes, that's your mother's side of the family talking. Just stay on for one more season, that's all I ask. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic But I don't want to be safe! I'm not afraid of the dangers out there. The only thing I'm afraid of is wasting my life on this farm. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic I know where this is going, son. As I've said many a time. the world is a dangerous place. You're much safer here at the farm, with me. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Father, how old were you when you left home? dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic You're a liar! I won't listen to you. Leave me alone! dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic You smell like a pig's pen, too. What a stink! Have you been rolling in the dirt all day? dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic I am not! You're lying! dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Look at you! You're as filthy as a pig in a pen! dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic It pleases me to know that I can still be of use even in the twilight of my life. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Well done! I don't know where I'd be without you, my old friend. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic The last wheat shipment fetched a fine price at market. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Maybe you're right. Even so, I can't help wondering if some other force it at work here. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Luck? I think it has more to do with the hard work and good soil. dunValthumeQSTValdarTopic Looks like we're in for quite a harvest. We've had better luck with our planting than any village in the hold. dunValthumeRestore In life, Hevnoraak drained his own blood from his body. His goal was to transfer his power back into himself after death, becoming a powerful lich. dunValthumeRestore The vessels contain that very blood. Empty them and you remove any chance he has of regaining his former powers. dunValthumeWaitingFor With those three vessels, Hevnoraak can restore himself. Find them before he can. dunValthumeWaitingFor Kill him now, while we still can! dunValthumeWaitingFor Did you find all of the vessels? dunValthumeWaitingFor Do not interrupt the ritual. Go empty the vessels and sit on the throne. dunValthumeWaitingFor Hevnoraak is defeated. dunWhiteRiverWatch_BanditGoodbyeTopic Good luck out there. dunWhiteRiverWatch_WatchmanGreetTopic Eh? Who's there? Rodulf, that you? dunWhiteRiverWatch_WatchmanGreetTopic We strike tonight, at dusk. Be ready. dunWhiteRiverWatch_WatchmanGreetTopic ...Yeah. We can't have that rheumy-eyed fool as our watchman, even if he is Hajvarr's uncle. Time we dealt with both of them. dunWhiteRiverWatch_WatchmanGreetTopic So, you in? dunWhiteRiverWatch_WatchmanGreetTopic Right. Lucky if it doesn't rip our throats out. dunWhiteRiverWatch_WatchmanGreetTopic 'Course not. Dogs I could train. But a half-starved wolf? Not a chance. dunWhiteRiverWatch_WatchmanGreetTopic You think it'll work? dunWhiteRiverWatch_WatchmanGreetTopic Look out! The wolf is loose! dunYngvildWizardAttackFemale Ah, another plaything for my collection. dunYngvildWizardGetsAttacked What's happening? No! Leave me alone! dunYngvildWizAttackMale What? An intruder? Attack, my lovelies! E3demoArvelWebStuckTopic You did it. You killed it. Now cut me down before anything else shows up. E3demoArvelWebStuckTopic What? Who are you? Oh, never mind. Cut me down before that thing gets us! E3demoArvelWebStuckTopic01 Yes, the claw. I know how it works. The claw, the markings, the door in the Hall of Stories. I know how they all fit together! E3demoArvelWebStuckTopic01 Help me down, and I'll show you. You won't believe the power the Nords have hidden there. E3demoArvelWebStuckTopic02 Does it look like I can move? You have to cut me down, first. E3demoArvelWebStuckTopic03 Sweet breath of Arkay, thank you. E3demoGoodbye Wait, come back! E3demoGoodbye Where are you going? Come back! E3demoGoodbye Noooo! E3demoGoodbye Aaaaagh! E3demoGoodbye Cut me down, or you'll never get the claw! E3demoGoodbye Where are you... get me down from this! E3demoGoodbye Sorry, but I have a treasure to get to... E3demoGoodbye So long "friend." Ha ha ha! E3demoGoodbye No. Not again. Help! E3demoGoodbye You fool, why should I share the treasure with anyone? E3demoGoodbye It's coming loose. I can feel it. E3demoGoodbye That's it. Keep hacking at it. E3demoGoodbye You. Over here! E3demoGoodbye I know I ran ahead with the claw, but I need help! E3demoGoodbye Is... is someone coming? Is that you Harknir? Bjorn? Soling? E3demoGoodbye Just shut it and keep an eye out for trouble. E3demoGoodbye What if Arvel doesn't come back? I want my share from that claw! E3demoGoodbye That dark elf wants to go on ahead, let him. Better than us risking our necks. E3demoGoodbye So we're just supposed to sit here while Arvel runs off with that golden claw? E3demoHello You're not getting that treasure. E3demoHello I'm too swift for you! E3demoHello Too slow! E3DemoSharedArvelPleading01 Get me out of here! E3DemoSharedArvelPleading02 Don't leave me, for Arkay's sake! E3DemoSharedArvelPleading03 Help me! Help! E3DemoSharedArvelPleading04 Help me out of here! E3DemoSharedArvelPleading05 Get me down. Get me down! E3DemoSharedArvelPleading06 Hey, over here! E3DemoSharedArvelRelieved01 Is it over? E3DemoSharedArvelRelieved02 Is it dead? E3DemoSharedArvelRelieved03 Is it safe now? E3DemoSharedArvelRunning01 You'll never get the claw! E3DemoSharedArvelRunning02 Too slow! E3DemoSharedArvelScreaming01 Ah, kill it. Kill it! E3DemoSharedArvelScreaming02 Get it away from me. Get it away! E3DemoSharedArvelScreaming03 Don't let it get me. Help! E3DemoSharedArvelScreaming04 Agh. Agh! E3DemoSharedArvelScreaming05 Keep it away from me! EastmarchHellos I used to have five good men who worked the mill with me. Then this war started and they all ran off. Idiots with mead in their blood. EastmarchHellos There's plenty of good wood around here, but I just can't harvest it all by myself. Everyone able-bodied is fighting. EastmarchHellos Of course, without functioning mills, who will make the arrows for our soldiers? Men have no sense of irony. EastmarchHellos Welcome, welcome, welcome! Don't see many strangers out here. Come to get your hands dirty on a real farm? EastmarchHellos Nothing tastes better than food you've grown yourself. Something magic about dirt and sunshine making food. EastmarchHellos The weather's harsh, but I like to think my sunny personality is what helps the grain grow. EastmarchHellos Bolfrida is certainly grating, but she pays well. Thankfully nobody from the city can see me out here. EastmarchHellos Farm work is hard work. It's good to relax when I can, but I still have to listen to my brothers harping about "injustices." EastmarchHellos Of course working for Bolfrida isn't my first choice. But what else can a Dunmer do out here? EastmarchHellos My sister and I both work for the Nords. Our brother is ashamed of us, but at least we can affort to eat. EastmarchHellos Starting to get too old to work all day, but hopefully Master Hlaalu will let me slow down a bit. EastmarchHellos Every now and then someone from the city comes by. Think they aren't used to seeing a Nord working for a Dark Elf. EastmarchHellos Better to work in the cold than in the heat, I say. Though some sun would be nice. EastmarchHellos Master Cruel-Sea comes and works the fields sometimes. I don't think the Mistress likes it, but she won't come out here to catch him. EastmarchHellos Once the sun goes down, it's just me and the dogs. They keep me warm, and don't talk too much. EastmarchHellos I wonder if I could put the dogs to work somehow. But I don't really have the heart to force them. EastmarchJailArenaFightHukiGreetBranchTopic What is this, you think you're clever? EastmarchJailArenaFightHukiGreetBranchTopic If you want to fight your way out of here, you have to do it in the Pit. EastmarchJailArenaFightHukiGreetBranchTopic Gotta give the crowd a show. EastmarchJailArenaFightHukiGreetBranchTopic Luckily there's no shortage of Pit bait around here. Now get in there and earn your freedom. EastmarchJailArenaFightHukiGreetBranchTopic All right, meat, it's time for you to earn your freedom. EastmarchJailArenaFightQuestImReady Well aren't you in luck. He's the next piece of gutter scum on the docket. Between you and me, I hope you cleave his arrogant head open. EastmarchJailArenaFightQuestImReady All right. Head to the pit when you think you're ready. EastmarchJailArenaFightQuestWhatDoIDo We don't just let people rot in cells until they've served their time. Here, you fight. EastmarchJailArenaFightQuestWhatDoIDo If you win, you go free. EastmarchJailArenaFightQuestWhatDoIDo If you lose, well, you'll know the freedom of Sovngarde if you're lucky.

FalkreathGoodbyes Steal anything from my shop, and you'll regret it. FalkreathGoodbyes Be seein' you, stranger. FalkreathGoodbyes You hear any juicy gossip in town, be sure to share it with me! FalkreathGoodbyes I'll be right here if you need anything else. FalkreathGoodbyes See me at my forge if you need arms or armor. FalkreathGoodbyes Good steel's worth every septim. Remember that. FalkreathGoodbyes Life is far too short, my friend. Don't waste it! FalkreathGoodbyes We'll all meet Arkay sooner or later. Best to enjoy the time we've got. FalkreathGoodbyes Good to talk to you. FalkreathGoodbyes You'll meet a lot of tongue-wagging gossips in this town. Try not to take them too seriously. FalkreathGoodbyes Mind what you say! The Empire has ears all over this town. FalkreathGoodbyes Mark my words, I'll be Jarl again someday! FalkreathGoodbyes May wisdom forever light your path. FalkreathGoodbyes Be safe, traveler. FalkreathGoodbyes Don't judge Dengeir too harshly. He is old, but he means well. FalkreathGoodbyes May your time in Falkreath be pleasant. FalkreathGoodbyes Come and see me again sometime. I might have some use for you. FalkreathGoodbyes We're done here, I think. FalkreathGoodbyes Keep in song in your heart to ward off the gloom. FalkreathGoodbyes Perhaps one day, I'll write a song about you! FalkreathIdles Call upon me if I can be of any service. FalkreathIdles Browse as much as you like, please. FalkreathIdles Look around all you want, but don't try anything funny. FalkreathIdles Hey! You planning to steal something? Don't even think about it. Favor001QuestAccept Thanks. Favor001QuestAccept Thank you. Favor001QuestAccept You're sure? When you see Giruad, ask for a tip. I'm sure he'll be in a good mood after reading this. Favor001QuestAccept Well, look at you, thanks. Take it to Voada, she handles all the dogs for the Jarl. Favor001QuestAccept Thank you. Take it to Quintus, in the White Phial. Favor001QuestAccept Thank you. Favor001QuestFinishTopic What's this? Oh, that's right, the timbers from Anga's Mill. Favor001QuestFinishTopic I swear, that Aeri and her men would make fine Stormcloak recruits. Pity we can't spare the lumber to conscript them. Favor001QuestFinishTopic Here. Take this. For your time and all that. Favor001QuestFinishTopic Oh, thank you. The dogs were getting restless. Favor001QuestFinishTopic Here, this is for you. Favor001QuestFinishTopic Ah, Berit's ashes. He was a good man. Not many warriors grow to a fine, old age. Favor001QuestFinishTopic Thank you for bringing this to me. I'll make sure he gets his rites. Here, for your trouble. Favor001QuestFinishTopic Ah yes, Adonato's new work. Shorter than I expected, but words must be judged on merit, not length. Favor001QuestFinishTopic I'll look over this later. Why don't you take this, for your trouble? Favor001QuestFinishTopic Oh dear. Darkwater Crossing needs medicines for its miners? Favor001QuestFinishTopic I'll see about getting this order filled right away. Here, a few septims for you. Favor001QuestFinishTopic Joric's sister? Poor child. Magic runs deep in that family's bloodline. It's not always a blessing. Favor001QuestFinishTopic Thank you for this. Something for your trouble. Favor001QuestGiveTopic Sorry, I thought Skald the Elder sent you. We've got an order to fill, and he's not known for patience. Favor001QuestGiveTopic Look, if you're heading towards Dawnstar anytime soon, can you give the Jarl this note? Let him know he'll get his lumber. Favor001QuestGiveTopic Falkreath is known for its graveyard, traveler. We've buried more dead than you can imagine. Favor001QuestGiveTopic I just finished giving my old war companion, Berit, a proper burial by fire. Old hard head hated the idea of being lost cold in the ground. Favor001QuestGiveTopic Could you deliver the ashes to Runil, the priest of Arkay? He'll know the right blessings to make for Berit's soul. Favor001QuestGiveTopic I write drama, friend. The legends and history of Skyrim made to excite and inspire. Favor001QuestGiveTopic Poor Giruad Gemane at the Bards College has been waiting for my latest work, "Olaf and the Dragon," for weeks now. Roads are a mess. Favor001QuestGiveTopic My family has been doing it for years. You need one out in the Reach. Don't want to be alone when some Forsworn comes swinging. Favor001QuestGiveTopic I personally trained a whole litter for the Jarl. That reminds me, I was going to deliver some dog food to the Keep. Spiced beef. Their favorite. Favor001QuestGiveTopic This mine is only a few years old, but I've been digging up ore for over a century. Favor001QuestGiveTopic We're getting to the point where the tunnels are getting deep into the rock. People complain of bad coughs and foul air. Favor001QuestGiveTopic I've seen this before. We need some medicines to combat the ore dust. I was about to send a message to Windhelm for aid. Favor001QuestGiveTopic My brother is... sensitive. He has trouble focusing his attention on things. Favor001QuestGiveTopic We were taking him to the Temple of Kynareth in Whiterun, just so the healers could make sure he was in good health, and they say he's fine. Favor001QuestGiveTopic Are you heading to Whiterun? Could you take this letter to the priestess, Danica Pure-Spring? It's a note about Joric's health. Favor001QuestGiveTopic If you're one of the Jarl's men, you'll get your lumber. Anga's Mill pays its debts. Favor001QuestGiveTopic I'm a writer by trade. Not that the people of Skyrim do much reading. Favor001QuestReject Fair enough. Favor001QuestReject Indeed it is. Favor001QuestReject Yeah, yeah. Favor001QuestReject Typical. Favor001QuestReject We'll get by. Favor001QuestReject Very well. Favor013PersuadeBribe Bribing me? Well, a bard does need to eat. On my ancestor's honor, I won't trouble sweet Carlotta again. Favor013PersuadeBribe I don't think so. Favor013PersuadeBribe Paying the wages yourself? Well, I won't say no to gold. By my family's honor, this money will go to the Argonian workers. Favor013PersuadeBribe What future? Favor013PersuadeBribe I guess I can spare him a few beatings. Deal. Favor013PersuadeBribe The only thing I understand is you bothering you. Favor013PersuadeBribe Works for me. Tell Octieve the debt's settled. Favor013PersuadeBribe Don't think so. Favor013PersuadeBribe A true Nord would settle it himself, but at least this way Iddra gets her coin. Thank you. Tell her I'll be fine. Favor013PersuadeBribe This isn't about me paying Iddra back, this is about me being able to pay her back with my own coin. Favor013PersuadeBribe I won't say no to that. Favor013PersuadeBribe I'm not about to take on debts from some milk drinker I don't know. Favor013PersuadeIntimidate Whoa. Hey there. I didn't mean to make you upset. On my honor, Carlotta won't have to worry about me again. Favor013PersuadeIntimidate Easy. Maybe I was being too harsh on them. By the honor of Clan Shatter-Shield, they will be paid fairly. You have my word. Favor013PersuadeIntimidate Wait. You win. I'll ease off on the beatings, just leave me alone. Favor013PersuadeIntimidate Think you can mess with an Orc of the Reach? Let's go. Favor013PersuadeIntimidate All right, all right. Have it your way. Tell Octieve to forget about the debt. Favor013PersuadeIntimidate What? No. All right. I won't worry about the coin anymore, just stop giving me that look. Favor013PersuadeIntimidate Calm down there, friend. I'll pay! Tell Haran that she'll have her gold. Favor013PersuadeNeverMind Wasn't your business, anyway. Favor013PersuadeNeverMind Already have. Favor013PersuadeNeverMind That's what I thought. Favor013PersuadeNeverMind Idiot. Favor013PersuadeNeverMind It's better that way. Favor013PersuadeNeverMind That's what I thought. Favor013PersuadeSpeech Maybe you're right. I guess I just didn't want anyone to think I couldn't handle one Nord lass. Favor013PersuadeSpeech On my honor, I won't bother Carlotta ever again. Favor013PersuadeSpeech What did you just say? All I heard was the sound of jealousy. Favor013PersuadeSpeech Bold words, but true. Fine, you win. I'll pay the Argonians more coin. Favor013PersuadeSpeech They don't work now. Why should I waste more money? Favor013PersuadeSpeech All right, all right. You sound like a damn Legion officer, but I get it. I'll give him a break. This better not hurt our quota. Favor013PersuadeSpeech I'm in charge of the smelter. Not you. So why don't you lay off? Favor013PersuadeSpeech Fine. You sound like a priest of Mara, but I get your point. Tell him to forget about the gold. Favor013PersuadeSpeech A debt. Is a debt. Favor013PersuadeSpeech I guess you're right. A Nord shouldn't be so proud to turn down a kind soul's generosity. Tell Iddra I'll be fine. Favor013PersuadeSpeech No. I have my pride. Favor013PersuadeSpeech You're right. What would my forefathers think if they knew I wasn't paying my debts? Tell Haran I'll bring her the gold I owe. Favor013PersuadeSpeech And I told you I'd pay it when I'm good and ready. Favor013QuestAccept He's a stubborn oaf. I don't know what good it'll do. Favor013QuestAccept If you want to try, go right ahead. I don't think anything will get through that thick skull of his, though. Favor013QuestAccept You can try, but we've gotten nowhere talking to him ourselves. Favor013QuestAccept You're going to try to talk sense into that Orc? I'll believe it when I see it. Favor013QuestAccept If you could convince him that I don't care about his tab, it'd certainly make me feel better. Favor013QuestAccept Go right ahead. He just might be sober enough to listen to you. Favor013QuestGiveTopic That bard Mikael is begging for a dagger up against his throat, the way he goes on about me. Favor013QuestGiveTopic I've heard him boasting at the Bannered Mare, saying he'll "conquer me as a true Nord conquers any harsh beast." Hmph. Favor013QuestGiveTopic Torbjorn Shatter-Shield. I wish someone would beat the coin out of his fat fists. He clings to every Septim. Favor013QuestGiveTopic He says an Argonian's labor is only worth a tenth of a "proper Nord worker." My people are not slaves! Favor013QuestGiveTopic He's a damn tyrant. Always being goaded on by the Silver-Bloods to get more work out of us. Favor013QuestGiveTopic They pay us next to nothing. We get beaten if we make a mistake, and where are our kind Nord rulers? What are they doing? Typical. Favor013QuestGiveTopic Too many drinking games, too many bets, and I'm too old to ever raise the coin on my own. Favor013QuestGiveTopic He's been in Kynesgrove forever. Great storyteller. Keeps everyone's spirits up. Favor013QuestGiveTopic Owes me a lot of coin for drinks. I keep telling him not to worry about it, but he's got the stubborn Nord blood. Favor013QuestGiveTopic Damn fool doesn't have the coin to pay me back, so he just beats himself up over it, and then he gets thirsty, and it cycles all over again. Favor013QuestGiveTopic He owes this tavern enough coin to burn it down, build it back up, then burn it down again just for laughs. Favor013QuestGiveTopic He's had some troubles in his life, but I can't have him drinking here without at least paying back some of the coin he owes. Favor013QuestGiveTopic Ah, a test subject! Go, my pets! Attack! Favor013QuestReject I'm sure. I'm sure. Favor013QuestReject I can take care of myself. A Whiterun woman learns how to handle a few idiot men early in life. Favor013QuestReject We will make do somehow. We always have. Favor013QuestReject Sorries don't help anyone. Favor013QuestReject He'll be fine, I just hate worrying about his worrying. Favor013QuestReject I'm sure we'll get our gold at some point. Not like he has anywhere to go. Favor013QuestReturnTopic Really? You convinced that lute player to stop chasing me? Favor013QuestReturnTopic I'd thank the gods, but I'll settle for thanking you. Here's some coin for your help. Favor013QuestReturnTopic You talked Torbjorn down? I'm impressed. Favor013QuestReturnTopic Here, I was saving this for a rainy day. Maybe now I can afford a few more for my people. Take it. Favor013QuestReturnTopic I don't believe it. Someone sticking up for us. Here. It's a week's wages for me, but you've earned every coin. Favor013QuestReturnTopic You've done a fine thing for me. You know, I used to be quite a warrior in my day. Let me show you a thing or two. Favor013QuestReturnTopic It'll be good to not have to hear him whining about his debts. Favor013QuestReturnTopic Roggi pawned a few of his things back when he still had things to pawn. Take them. Favor013QuestReturnTopic Thank you. He's not a bad man, just bad with his coins and his drink. My husband Dagur could tell you stories, there. Favor013QuestReturnTopic I have a couple of Ranmir's things that he traded to us back when he was still paying regularly. I say you've earned them. Favor013TargetTopic Anything for my favorite lass. Favor013TargetTopic Oh? Were you after her yourself? I won't stand in your way, my friend. You have my word. Favor013TargetTopic Carlotta put you up to this, didn't she? I'm sorry, but that fiery widow is mine. She just doesn't know it yet. Favor013TargetTopic Well, my friend, if you think those boots needs more coin, I'll make it happen. But I'm doing this for you, not them. Favor013TargetTopic Those boots aren't worth the septims I do pay them. I'm not giving them coin I could give to good, Nord workers. Favor013TargetTopic What? Are you telling me how to treat my workers? Do you have any idea how much metal the Silver-Blood family wants us to smelt? Favor013TargetTopic Debts are debts. Either he pays them, or his kind do. Favor013TargetTopic I guess if you're telling me to stop worrying about it, maybe I should just let it go. Thank you, friend. Favor013TargetTopic What do you think I am, a beggar? My family has always paid back every single coin we owed, going back to Tiber Septim's time. Favor013TargetTopic Who are you to say what I should do? I'll pay her back when I'm ready. Favor017QuestAccept This will be good training. Let's go! Favor017QuestAccept You're short on coin. Favor017QuestAccept That's the spirit! Let's go. Favor017QuestAccept Hey, I may have had a few, but I can still count. You don't have a hundred septims on you. Favor017QuestAccept Just fists. No weapons, no magic... no crying. Let's go! Favor017QuestAccept Why don't you come back when you actually have a hundred gold? Favor017QuestAccept All right. Fists only. And none of that magic stuff, either. Let's go! Favor017QuestAccept I said a hundred gold! Damn broke elves and damn broke elf-lovers. Favor017QuestAccept Just your own two hands. Weapons and magic are out. Now let's see what you got! Favor017QuestAccept Come back when you have the coin. Favor017QuestGiveTopic How about a test? Your muscle against mine. The victor gains 100 gold coins from the loser. Favor017QuestGiveTopic I'm drunk, and it's been a while since I had a good fight. Favor017QuestGiveTopic A hundred septims says I can take ya, bare-handed. Favor017QuestGiveTopic And why not? I could beat anyone in this city, bare-handed. Favor017QuestGiveTopic A hundred gold says I knock your hide to the ground. Favor017QuestGiveTopic Don't like it? Too bad. This is our city. Ours! Favor017QuestGiveTopic Don't think I can take you? One hundred septims says I can punch you back where you came from. Favor017QuestGiveTopic Want me to prove it? I bet a hundred gold I can take you, bare-handed. Favor017QuestReject Soft. Just like all outlanders. Favor017QuestReject Pfft. Snowback. Favor017QuestReject Milk drinker. Favor017QuestReject Pit bait. Favor017QuestReject Milk drinker. Favor018QuestAccept Thank you. I'll be waiting for that bottle. Favor018QuestAccept Thanks. I'll be waiting for it. Favor018QuestAccept Good. Favor018QuestGiveTopic No. I'm not. I feel like my scales are clawing into me. Maybe you could help an old Argonian out? Favor018QuestGiveTopic I heard some of the sailors talking about how they stashed a bottle of Double-Distilled Skooma in the Gnisis Cornerclub. I just need a taste. Favor018QuestGiveTopic Me? Nothing. And I hope to keep it that way. The Jarl is convinced I have some connection with the College, so he goes easy on me. Favor018QuestGiveTopic Maybe you'd like to help me keep up appearances? Old Nelacar has a mage's staff in his room in the Frozen Hearth. Favor018QuestGiveTopic It'd be good to have that staff in case the Jarl starts wondering if I actually have a real connection to the College. Favor018QuestGiveTopic Not against me. Against all of Falkreath. Those Imperial bastards are spying on every one of us. Favor018QuestGiveTopic Last night I saw Lod the blacksmith writing a letter. Probably sending word to Solitude and General Tullius. Favor018QuestGiveTopic Are you loyal to Skyrim? Break into Lod's house and get that letter. Favor018QuestGiveTopic By the Hist, if I don't get something soon, I don't know how I'll get through the week. Favor018QuestGiveTopic This is Markarth, traveler. Safest city in the Reach. Favor018QuestGiveTopic You here to see the Jarl? No sudden moves, understand? Favor018QuestGiveTopic Whole dwarven city underneath the keep. Nchuand-Zel. Best steer clear if you don't want a Steam Centurion carving you up. Favor018QuestGiveTopic Listener. I am your only salvation. Come. Embrace me. Favor018QuestReject Hist spit on you. Favor018QuestReject Daedra take you, then. Favor018QuestReject Milk drinker. Favor018QuestReturnTopic Thank you so much. Here. Let me show you a thing or two about not attracting attention to yourself. Favor018QuestReturnTopic This should come in handy. Here. Let me show you a few tricks I've learned about buttering up royalty. Favor018QuestReturnTopic What's this? Some kind of code? "Need as much iron ore as you can dig up...." Favor018QuestReturnTopic He's not spying, but it's clear the Empire is making Lod smith up more swords and armor for them. Favor018QuestReturnTopic Good work. Take this. Favor019QuestAccept It's not that easy. She'd go to the Jarl if she knew I was even remotely involved. You have to get it to her some other way. Favor019QuestAccept Look, it's dangerous, but if you sneak the ring into her house. Put in a dresser or something. I will make it worth your while. Favor019QuestGiveTopic Of course nothing in here is stolen. Only a careless, shameful, idiotic fetcher would do something as stupid as to buy pilfered goods.... Favor019QuestGiveTopic Oh by Azura, I've made a terrible mistake. I bought a gold ring, and Viola Giordano has been missing a ring that looks just like it. Favor019QuestReject You're telling me. Favor019QuestReturnTopic Thank you. Thank you! Azura's Prophecy always guide you to fortune. Favor019QuestReturnTopic Speaking of fortune. Here. Everything I earned from my last shipment. It's yours. Favor019QuestSnitchTopic Oh, really? So that Dark Elf took my ring. So typical of his kind. Favor019QuestSnitchTopic I think the Jarl should hear about this. Maybe double his taxes. No, triple them. That should teach those people a lesson. Favor019QuestSnitchTopic You deserve something for sniffing out that thief. Here. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic You found it? I've been looking for that blade for months. You took on all those bandits yourself? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Thank you. Here, my father had a favorite sword and shield technique. Let me teach it to you, in honor of his memory. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Bless you, friend. You have renewed my hope. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Before I came into Zenithar's calling, I confess I was a thief. But I learned a few things in my time that might help you survive. Let me show you. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic If I cared for your opinion on our affairs, I'd ask. Now, if you'll excuse me. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Nivenor! How can you say that? He gives you everything you ask for. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic How do you think? He's a pig. All I am to him is a warm body to lay with. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic So how are things with you and Bolli? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic No, no... please, I'm just tired is all. Thank you. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Look, if you're in some sort of trouble, I could talk to Haelga. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Don't worry about it, Svana. It's my problem... no need for you to get involved. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Wujeeta, you're worrying me. You look so... well, so sad. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic If there was any justice in the world, I'd just get this over with and die peacefully. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic It's an evil substance. Whoever's selling it to you should be brought to justice. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I can't, Valindor. It won't let me go. It's taking over my life. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Wujeeta, you really need to stop using that skooma. It's very bad for your health and I wouldn't want to see anything happen to you. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Not to worry, dear Svana. I promise you I can handle it, but your concern is quite flattering. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Relaxing? They must be working you to the bone! You should rest before you do yourself in. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Oh, it's not so terrible. I actually find the work quite relaxing. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic How do you do it, Valindor? How do you work at Black-Briar Meadery and the Fishery without getting exhausted? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Sorry, Tythis. I'll get it to you somehow. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic If you'd stop wasting your coin on that skooma, you'd have enough gold to live on. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Just give me a few more days and I promise I'll come up with it. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Niluva, you promised me you'd pay me back yesterday. So what's the story? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I'll make sure it's sent right away. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I'll draft a letter to Rythe. If you could have it sent to Cheydinhal for me, that would make up for your blunder. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I'm sure my mother can compensate you for it. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Ingun, you clumsy fool! You've tainted our entire supply of Painted Troll Fat. You have no idea how hard that was to get. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Very well, I'll keep practicing them. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Ingun! If you want to remain in my shop as an apprentice I expect you to act like one. No exceptions! Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic This is an utter waste of time. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Until you can do those formulas with your eyes shut, you'll never be ready to master the more difficult ones. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I don't understand, Elgrim. The formulas you're giving me are for novices but I've advanced well passed that point. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic And a hefty cut for yourself too I'm sure. Just see to it the items are secured and the rest disposed of properly this time. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic The coin isn't just for the men, there's a lot of people that need to be compensated in order to make this happen. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic For what it's costing me, I should be handed the merchandise on a silver platter. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic My agents are telling me that we've appropriated the caravan from Hammerfell... with minimal losses. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Anything you can do to keep his filthy hands off of me would be a welcome change. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I'll talk to him, but he's stubborn. He's like his mother; he sees what he wants and he won't quit until he has it. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic It's Hemming. He's making advances and I can't bear the man's presence. Is there anything you can do? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Well that depends on what the favor is, now doesn't it. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Maul, can I ask a personal favor of you? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Just stay away from me and maybe I won't weave a spell to shrink something that matters to you. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic You listen to me. I'd be careful wagging that pretty little tongue at me like that otherwise I may just have it cut off. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I find the concept of sleeping with you not only repulsive, but morally unsettling. Does that answer your question? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic So, have you thought about what I said? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Let's just say my mother knows which pockets to line and keep it at that. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic It's surprising the Council is allowing a Nord rule Riften under the Imperial flag. That can't be their first choice. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Yes, she's been grooming herself for this for quite a long time. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Your mother seems to have taken to her seat quite well. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I'll let him know. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Next time you speak to him, tell him to clean up his own messes. I'm not about to jeopardize this position for a bunch of low-life thugs. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I've spoken to Brynjolf and he assures me it'll be taken care of. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Any word about our little problem in the Ratway? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I'm almost certain he'll reach the Imperial City tomorrow, so we should have an answer by the end of the week. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Good. If I need to light a few fires in order to get what we need to defend this place from the Stormcloaks, so be it. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Yes, and I sent it with our fastest courier and under the cover of night, exactly as you specified. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Hemming, have you dispatched that letter I gave you yesterday? Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic No, mother. The execution will proceed as planned. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Are you going soft on me, Hemming? Perhaps I made the wrong choice installing you as steward. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic But, mother... this is quite a sizable contribution and the crime doesn't befit such a harsh punishment. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic The execution will proceed as planned. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic There's still the matter of the prisoner to discuss. Now, his family is willing to contribute handsomely if we release him. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Yes, milady. Sorry, milday. They will be completed. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Excuses are not acceptable in my court. When I ask for something I expect results, and I expect them immediately. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic I'm sorry, milady. The components for those elixirs are quite volatile and in some cases, very dangerous to handle. I must take care. Favor031GiveItemBranchTopic Why are the potions I requested not completed? Favor104QuestAccept Good. I'll have a sack of coin waiting for you when you get back. Favor104QuestAccept This brings back memories. Come back when you're done and maybe I'll be up to showing you a few tricks. Favor104QuestAccept That's a brave offer. I'd be happy to throw in my coin behind that. Favor104QuestAccept You deal with them, I'll make sure you get paid. Maybe this old soldier will throw in some lessons as well. Favor104QuestGiveTopic I may have accidentally let a prisoner escape. The leader of one of those bandit groups. Favor104QuestGiveTopic I told everyone he died during questioning, and I need you to track him down and make sure he doesn't show up to disprove that. Favor104QuestGiveTopic That's right. Used to explore all over. I'm the one who originally found the mine Darkwater Crossing was built around. Favor104QuestGiveTopic I was actually scouting a bit the other day, old times sake. Spied a brigand heading back to his camp. Favor104QuestGiveTopic Up for a little hunting? My husband is being a sad stick, so I can't go myself. Favor104QuestGiveTopic Whenever a group of marauders attack a Nord village, Ulfric is the first to sound the horn and send the men. Favor104QuestGiveTopic But a group of Dark Elf refugees gets ambushed? A group of Argonians, or a Khajiit caravan? No troops. No investigation. Nothing. Favor104QuestGiveTopic There's a group of cutthroats out there right now that Ulfric doesn't lift a finger to bring to justice, as long as they don't threaten Nord land. Favor104QuestGiveTopic You wouldn't be a sellsword, would you? I have a little problem you could solve. Favor104QuestGiveTopic I used to be an adventurer in my day, then I settled down. Got married. Favor104QuestReject Suit yourself. Favor104QuestReject Fair enough. Favor104QuestReject Yes. It is. Favor104QuestReturnTopic That's a load off my mind. Here's your pay. Favor104QuestReturnTopic You remind me of myself a few years ago. Let me show you a little bit about wearing light armor. It's helped me out whenever I was scouting. Favor104QuestReturnTopic Now I've got the itch to travel again. If you're leaving town, I wouldn't mind coming with for a while. Favor104QuestReturnTopic Now that's good work. Everyone will be a lot safer with them gone, Dark Elf and Nord alike. Favor104QuestReturnTopic Here, some gold as promised, and let me show you a bit about wearing heavy armor. Save you some aches on a long march. Favor109Accept I don't expect you to be capable of even that. Favor109QuestGiveTopic Nothing. I'm busy, and I don't like being bothered unless I'm expecting something from you. Favor109QuestGiveTopic Oh, don't give me that look. Fine. I supposed I can find some menial task to set your mind on. Hmm.... Favor109QuestGiveTopic We have something of a vampire problem. Bodies have been found with blood drained. I know of a den nearby you can wipe out as a precaution. Favor109QuestGiveTopic If I needed something from you, you would know it. Favor109QuestReturnTopic Filthy creatures, aren't they? Living in the darkness, like they do. So uncivilized. Favor109QuestReturnTopic I prefer finery. Like this. Here, for your trouble. And I suppose I should show you a little about Illusion magic for free, shouldn't I? Favor109Reject I give, and I give. Favor110QuestAccept Good on you. Favor110QuestAccept You better. I hate people who waste my time. Favor110QuestAccept You'd do that? If you find one, I could teach you a thing or two about trading. Help you get a fair bargain in the future. Favor110QuestAccept Really? I'd be happy to show you a bit about herbs if you find the book. Favor110QuestAccept Good on you. Favor110QuestAccept Thank you. Favor110QuestGiveTopic My wife Seren and I run it together. She still smiths even though we found out she is with child. Favor110QuestGiveTopic Our son or daughter isn't going to get much Redguard culture here in Skyrim. I know my wife worries how she will pass along her traditions. Favor110QuestGiveTopic Hey, if you find a book called "Night Falls on Sentinel," could you bring it to me? It's a story from my wife's people. Be good to have. Favor110QuestGiveTopic Work? I demand tribute before you can be considered for any real tasks. Favor110QuestGiveTopic How about drink? None of that local piss. Real Black-Briar Mead, fresh from Riften. Favor110QuestGiveTopic Before my ma and da passed, I told them that one day, I'd become the best trader in Skyrim. Favor110QuestGiveTopic I met one of the caravan leaders, Ma'dran. He said he'd help get me started if I could bring him a mammoth's tusk. Easier said than done. Favor110QuestGiveTopic I picked up the trade when I was a girl. One of the temple healers staying here on a pilgrimage showed me the basics. Favor110QuestGiveTopic She had a book with her, "Song of the Alchemists," that I used to read over and over. I miss having a copy. Favor110QuestGiveTopic That I am. Train the recruits. Turn boys into men. That sort of thing. Favor110QuestGiveTopic Thinking of asking the General for some training books. Give the soldiers something to do while they're on rest. Something besides drinking. Favor110QuestGiveTopic Ever seen a book called "The Mirror"? We used to hand it out to boys looking to learn basic shield work. Favor110QuestGiveTopic Our little girl died recently. I've been shouldering my days with strong mead, but nothing gives my Tova peace. Favor110QuestGiveTopic I've been looking for an Amulet of Arkay to remind my wife that our child is with the gods now, but I can't find one. Favor110QuestReject My loss, right? Favor110QuestReject Then I don't have time for you. Favor110QuestReject I'll do my best. Favor110QuestReject I suppose it is. Favor110QuestReject Be glad you're not training under me with that mouth of yours. Favor110QuestReject Aye. Favor110QuestReturnTopic Good. I'll see if I can get some copies made for the men. Here, something for your trouble. The Legion thanks you. Favor110QuestReturnTopic It's amazing how much you can learn from a book. Favor110QuestReturnTopic Here. Let me show you some of the things the temple healers taught me about potions. Favor110QuestReturnTopic Don't know what the Redguards see in books, but this will make my Seren happy. Favor110QuestReturnTopic Thank you. Let me show you some tricks around the forge. Favor110QuestReturnTopic Now that's what I like to see. Someone who gets things done. Favor110QuestReturnTopic Here. A little something for you. Favor110QuestReturnTopic Thank you. This should turn that old cat's gaze. Maybe I'll be able to become a caravaneer myself, one day. Favor110QuestReturnTopic As promised, let me show you a thing or two about bargaining. Don't want some shifty merchant giving you a raw trade. Favor110QuestReturnTopic I hope Arkay grants my wife some comfort. Thank you. Here. I always pay my debts. Favor151JarlQuestGiveTopic Are you a sellsword? I don't like your kind. No honor. No loyalty. Unreliable. Favor151JarlQuestGiveTopic But I can't turn away a potential ally in these times. Let's see if you're better than a common mercenary. Favor151JarlQuestGiveTopic My scouts have tracked down one of the Forsworn leaders, hiding out in their blood-soaked camps. Deal with them. Favor151QuestAccept We will see. Favor151QuestReject Then leave. Favor151QuestReturnTopic I'm impressed. Forsworn usually make short work of mercenaries, but you took care of them. Here is your reward. Favor153Accept I'm counting on you. Favor153QuestGiveTopic Giants are a common problem in the Pale. The Empire always demanded I leave them be, but the Empire isn't here now. Favor153QuestGiveTopic Go and slay one of the beasts. It should let them know that Dawnstar is not to be trifled with. Favor153QuestReturnTopic You've shown those monsters that they will no longer be tolerated in the Pale. Good work. Favor153QuestReturnTopic Here, a reward from your Jarl. Favor153Reject You don't have time? Fine. Favor154QuestFinishTopic Teach them to stop paying me. Favor154QuestFinishTopic Here. You deserve a reward for your service. Favor154QuestGiveAccept Good. Favor154QuestGiverBranchTopic You've proven reliable. There's a group of bandits in my Hold that I... may have had a few discreet dealings with. Favor154QuestGiverBranchTopic The cut they were giving me was good at first, but now it's time to clean things up. Go and take care of it. Favor154QuestReject Disappointing. Favor157QuestGiveAccept Divines watch over you. Favor157QuestGiveTopic I do. A personal matter. My father died trying to negotiate with the Forsworn, back when that was possible. Favor157QuestGiveTopic They took his shield to those Hagraven beasts they consort with. I need you to bring it home where it belongs. Favor157QuestGiveTopic I warn you, it's dangerous work. No man of mine has ever faced a Hagraven and lived. I'll understand if you decline. Favor157QuestReject I don't blame you. Favor157QuestReject They live here too, my Jarl. That's what I'm telling you. Favor157QuestReject It doesn't matter if they're in the city. We fight them where they live, we won't have to fight them here. Favor157QuestReject It's not that simple, Igmund. There are reports of Forsworn here in the city. Favor157QuestReject The only thing we need to discuss is how many men it'll take to flush them out of the hills. Favor157QuestReject My Jarl, we need to discuss the Forsworn. Favor157QuestReturnContinue I hereby grant you permission to purchase property in my city. Talk to my steward if you're interested. Favor157QuestReturnContinue And take this. A gift from the Jarl's personal stores. Favor157QuestReturnTopic You've honored my father's memory in more ways than I have words to say. Favor158Accept Good. I'll have a sum of gold waiting for your return. Favor158QuestTopic Winterhold has lost much of its history, and with that much of its power. I aim to change that. Favor158QuestTopic I've heard rumors of the resting place of the Helm of Winterhold, the very same helm that Jarl Hanse wore in the First Era. Favor158QuestTopic Hanse was in line to be High King of Skyrim, you know. Having that might get the ear of the other Holds and give me some authority. Favor158QuestTopic No, no, no. I've got more blood than you know! Favor158QuestTopic Give me just one... little... bite! Favor158QuestTopic Ah, yes. No fat on this one! Favor158QuestTopic Don't run. Stay for dinner! Favor158QuestTopic I've been waiting for you, my sweet one. Favor158QuestTopic Come closer! Favor158QuestTopic Oh yes. You're a fine fat one, aren't you! Favor158Reject Then I have no work for you. Favor158ReturnTopic Can you believe that this hold used to contend for the throne of the High King? Now perhaps others will listen. Favor158ReturnTopic Here, your reward as promised. You have Winterhold's thanks. Favor204AcceptFavorTopic I tracked it to a group of bandits nearby. But I'm no fool. I'd need the Whiterun guards or maybe hire the Companions to get it. Favor204AcceptFavorTopic I don't know why I'm saying this, but if you find it out in your travels, I'd be grateful to you. Favor204AcceptFavorTopic Shahvee would be in your debt, kind one. Favor204GetFavorTopic My Saffir doesn't like that I've been spending so much time looking for my father's old sword. Favor204GetFavorTopic He fed his entire family with the gold he made using that weapon. I'm not about to let it gather dust in some thief's trophy room. Favor204GetFavorTopic We have not faired well outside our native Black Marsh, but we're determined to make the best of things. Favor204GetFavorTopic I began praying to Zenithar, the god of wealth, to bring us some fortune, but thieves made off with my sacred amulet almost as soon as I bought it. Favor204RejectFavorTopic We will endure. We always have. Favor204RejectFavorTopic Not your concern, anyway. Favor205QuestAccept Well, aren't you sweet? I'd be happy to give you some alchemy training in exchange for the ring, if you bring it to me. Favor205QuestAccept Blessing of Arkay to you for your help. Favor205QuestAccept Oh, you could? I sure would love to have it again. Could show you some of my old scouting tricks. Favor205QuestAccept According to my grandfather at least. He swore that version of the legend was true, even found the cave old Lenne stumbled into. Favor205QuestAccept Hey, if you find it, I could show you some of the clan's favorite fighting moves. They're all shield techniques. Favor205QuestAccept Jarl wants it to look like an ancient blade. High Queen Freydis ruled over Windhelm in the Second Era, and her sword was legendary. Favor205QuestAccept Getting the real sword would be even better than making a copy, but no one wants to risk getting it from its resting place. Favor205QuestAccept If you find that sword, traveler, I'd be grateful. Favor205QuestGiveTopic My husband. We used to go out in the wilds and collect ingredients together. He used to call me his "pretty Juniper." Favor205QuestGiveTopic It's quite romantic, if you're an alchemist. Frost took the old fool a few seasons back, while he was looking for the Ring of Pure Mixtures. Favor205QuestGiveTopic I found the ring's resting place after he died, but I'm far too old to go exploring some cave, now. Favor205QuestGiveTopic I am. I came into Arkay's light after the Great War. So many died by my hands, my magics. Favor205QuestGiveTopic I'm fortunate that Kust and the people of Falkreath have come to accept me as one of their own. Favor205QuestGiveTopic Could you do an old elf a favor? I misplaced my journal in a cave I was exploring. I'll pay for its return. Favor205QuestGiveTopic I was the finest scout in the Legion, once. Tracked down all the places in the wilds that were causing people trouble. Favor205QuestGiveTopic Lost my helmet in one of the old caves. My pretty, pretty helmet. Life just got worse after that. Kept losing things. So many things.... Favor205QuestGiveTopic Yes. I've wandered a bit, but I always come back to Kynesgrove. My clan was one of the first to settle here. Favor205QuestGiveTopic Legend says that my forefather Lenne discovered the mines after he stumbled into a dark cave to relieve himself. Too much mead. Favor205QuestGiveTopic Of course, there's another story of Lenne losing the family shield in a different cave, so it depends on who you believe. Favor205QuestGiveTopic Of course I am. What do I look like, a tavern wench? Favor205QuestGiveTopic Ah, don't let my words cut you too deep. I've just been working the forge too hard. Trying to set this sword right. Favor205QuestReject Why am I not surprised? Favor205QuestReject Very well. Favor205QuestReject So many things lost.... Favor205QuestReject Well, I never claimed otherwise. Favor205QuestReject Pfft. Ungrateful milk drinker. Favor205QuestReturnTopic Thank you. Here, let an old alchemist pass on some of her secrets to you. Favor205QuestReturnTopic Thank you. It's a collection of regrets that I try not to forget. Here, I promised you this. Favor205QuestReturnTopic Look at it. That's real Nord craftsmanship, that is! Let me show you an old trick I learned as a scout. Makes it harder for the enemy to notice you. Favor205QuestReturnTopic My clan's shield. So Lenne really did stumble into that cave and was eaten by monsters. Favor205QuestReturnTopic In honor of his memory, let me show you a few shield techniques. And tell me if you're leaving town. Be good to travel again. Favor205QuestReturnTopic Look at that edge. Still sharp. Favor205QuestReturnTopic I'll present this to the Jarl later. As for you, let me show you some smithing techniques. Favor250Accept As you were, then. Favor250QuestGiverTopic Then by my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of the Reach. Congratulations. Favor250QuestGiverTopic I grant you a personal Housecarl to watch over your home and this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office. Favor250QuestGiverTopic I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now. Favor250Reject As you wish. Favor252Accept Good luck to you. Favor252QuestReturnTopic Then by my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of Haafingar. Congratulations. Favor252QuestReturnTopic I grant you a personal Housecarl to watch over your home and this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office. Favor252QuestReturnTopic I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now. Favor252Reject Very well. Favor253Accept As you were, then. Favor253QuestReturnTopic Then by my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of Whiterun. Congratulations. Favor253QuestReturnTopic I grant you a personal Housecarl to watch over your home and this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office. Favor253QuestReturnTopic I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now. Favor253Reject Fine, then. Favor254Accept The honor will be mine. Favor254Accept Good. Honor to you. Favor254QuestGiverTopic I'd like to offer you a place in my court, as a Thane. It's mainly an honorary title, but there are a few perks. Favor254QuestGiverTopic Now, by law and tradition, I can only grant the title to one who is known throughout Eastmarch, and who owns property in Windhelm. Favor254QuestGiverTopic If you do good works for the people and purchase a home from my steward, I'll name you my Thane. Favor254QuestReturnTopic Then by my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of Eastmarch. Congratulations. Favor254QuestReturnTopic I grant you a personal Housecarl to watch over your home and this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office. Favor254QuestReturnTopic I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Favor254Reject Very well. Favor255Accept Good luck. Favor255QuestGiveTopic Why is this buried so far within Saarthal? Favor255QuestGiveTopic I never imagined we'd find something like this. Favor255QuestGiveTopic Well now... would you look at that. Favor255QuestReturnTopic Then by my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of Hjaalmarch. Congratulations. Favor255QuestReturnTopic I grant you this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office. Favor255QuestReturnTopic I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now. Favor255Reject As you wish. Favor256Accept Good luck. Favor256QuestReturnTopic Then by my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of the Pale. Congratulations. Favor256QuestReturnTopic I grant you this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office. Favor256QuestReturnTopic I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now. Favor256Reject It was supposed to be an honor, but very well. Favor257Accept Good luck to you. Favor257QuestReturnTopic Then by my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of Winterhold. Favor257QuestReturnTopic I grant you this weapon from the armory to serve as your badge of office. Favor257QuestReturnTopic I'll also notify the guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now. Favor257Reject Then stop wasting my time. Favor258Accept On your way, then. Favor258QuestReturnTopic Then by my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of Falkreath. Congratulations. Favor258QuestReturnTopic I grant you this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office. Favor258QuestReturnTopic I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now. Favor258Reject Very well. FavorJobsBeggarsGiveMoneyTopic Finally. Now get lost. FavorJobsBeggarsGiveMoneyTopic Oh, thank you! Divines bless your kind heart. FavorJobsChopWoodBranchTopic Honest gold for honest work. FavorJobsChopWoodBranchTopic Make yourself useful and chop up some firewood. There's a few coins in it for you. FavorJobsChopWoodBranchTopic If it's work you need, how about chopping up some wood for the fires? FavorJobsChopWoodBranchTopic Here for work? Get an axe and bring me all the wood you can chop. FavorJobsChopWoodBranchTopic How much worse is this going to get? FavorJobsChopWoodBranchTopic We need to get in there and stop this! FavorJobsChopWoodBranchTopic I'm as ready as I'm going to be. FavorJobsChopWoodBranchTopic Not until we're all ready. We have to go together. FavorJobsChopWoodBranchTopic What are we waiting for? FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Ease your heart, our honor is unstained - it's by Shor's command we curb our onslaught. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic It is by Shor's command that we curb our wrath - so let's feast and sing 'til our fate calls us. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Let us not spurn our lord's bounty - this hall is his gift, for glory well-earned. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic I long to fight that foul worm. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Shall Alduin remain so long unchallenged? FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Agh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Oof! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Nargh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Argh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Weergh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Yeagh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Yearrgh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Hyargh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Rrarggh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Grrargh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Aggghh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Nyyarrggh! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Hear that? Stormcloaks. Maybe we can reason with them. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Just give me a minute... I'm out of breath... FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic We need to get moving! That dragon is tearing up the whole keep! FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Not many wood elves would choose to come alone to Skyrim. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic What're you doing here, Redguard? You a sellsword? A sailor from Stros M'kai? FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic You from one of the strongholds, Orc? How did you end up here? FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic You're a long way from the Imperial City. What're you doing in Skyrim? FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic You're not with the Thalmor Embassy, are you high elf? No, that can't be right.... FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Another refugee? Gods really have abandoned your people, dark elf. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic You from Daggerfall, Breton? Fleeing from some court intrigue? FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic You with one of the trade caravans, Khajiit? Your kind always seems to find trouble. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Are you a relative of one of the Riften dock workers, Argonian? FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic You picked a bad time to come home to Skyrim, kinsman. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic With mead and fellowship let's mend our wounds. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Shor's favor found me today. Let's lift a mug of mead together, our wounds to salve and weariness cure. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic By a bold stroke, you bested me, friend. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Well fought, friend. Your fury is unmatched. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Aye. Let us forget our sorrow in the fury of battle. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Meat and mead must ever make way for the clash of steel - the song of battle. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Hail, comrade! Shall we by clash of steel ease the gloom of the encompassing mist? FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic My blade is restless, unblooded too long. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Listen well, friend, and lighten your mood while words I'll spin of warriors bold, whose deeds of valor brought undying fame. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic I crave a tale of tall ships and fearless heroes, for heart's ease. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic A cup I'll gladly raise in company with you. None have yet bested me in boasting or drinking. FavorJobsGatherPotatoBranchTopic Come, let us share a cup of mead, and trade tales of our time on Mundus, reliving the glory of our remembered deeds. FavorJobsGatherWheatBranchTopic We could always use help picking crops if you need a few extra coins. FavorJobsGatherWheatShared01 Honest pay for honest work. FavorJobsMineOreBranchTopic Mining is hard work, but we pay a fair price for any ore you dig up. FavorJobsMineOreBranchTopic Are you looking to work? The mines are nearby. You bring me ore, I'll give you coin. FavorJobsMineOreShared01 I'll buy everything you've dug up. FavorOrcsIntroGuardBlockingTopic You have returned with the gauntlets! Enter. Speak to our chief right away. FavorOrcsIntroGuardBlockingTopic Return with the gauntlets, or not at all. FavorOrcsIntroGuardBlockingTopic You cannot take this away from me! FavorOrcsIntroGuardBlockingTopic No! The Eye is mine! FavorOrcsIntroGuardBlockingTopic No! You will not deny me this! FavorOrcsIntroNiceTopic Feel free to trade with our smiths for Orc weapons and armor. Train with my warriors, or purchase poisons from the wise woman. FavorOrcsIntroNiceTopic Welcome to our stronghold, Blood-Kin. FavorOrcsIntroQuestReturnTopic I don't believe it. You found the Forgemaster's Fingers. You've impressed me, outlander. No one else has returned from this task before. FavorOrcsIntroQuestReturnTopic By the Code of Malacath, I name you Blood-Kin to the Orcs. Let it be known among the strongholds that you are family, now. FavorOrcsIntroSnarkTopic Few outsiders earn the right to enter our strongholds. Speak with more respect, or we might forget your gifts. FavorOrcsIntroSnarkTopic Feel free to trade with our smiths for Orc weapons and armor. Train with my warriors, or purchase poisons from the wise woman. FavorSimpleDrunksBranchTopic Got any ale or mead? FFHM01BranchTopic He said he was going east towards the border of Morrowind to trade some of our grain to some folks at Broken Helm Hollow. FFHM01BranchTopic I waited and waited, and he never came back. Probably shacked up with some elven whore. Good riddance to him I say. FFHM01BranchTopic If I only knew where he was, I'd sure give him a piece of my mind. FFHM01BranchTopic01 Good. If you see him, tell him Grosta said he can go straight to Oblivion... he's not welcome here any more. FFHM01BranchTopic02 No, it can't be... oh my... and all this time, I was thinking he'd been unfaithful to me. I feel so stupid. FFHM01BranchTopic03 Doesn't matter. I'm sure he's long gone by now anyway. FFHM01DoneBranchTopic No, it can't be... oh my... and all this time, I was thinking he'd been unfaithful to me. I feel so stupid. FFHM01HusbandBranchTopic Well, he said that a few men have been going by to some of the local farms promising a good price from all the local mills and farms. FFHM01HusbandBranchTopic Leifnarr said they'd pay double what you can usually get at the markets. FFHM01HusbandBranchTopic The catch was, he had to head out there with our wood. So not only is Leifnarr gone, but a good bit of our supplies as well. FFHMDoneFinBranchTopic I've been a fool, wasting my time sitting here helpless when I could have sent help sooner. Perhaps this is all my doing... FFHMDoneFinBranchTopic What's done is done. Here, I want you to have this. Bringing me closure was kind of you. FFI01WilhelmCompletionBranchTopic Well, least I can do is give you something for taking care of him. If you won't accept it as a payment, consider it a gift. FFI01WilhelmDoneBranchTopic Let me see that! FFI01WilhelmDoneBranchTopic ...I can't believe this... FFI01WilhelmDoneBranchTopic It was all just a fabrication of this Wyndelius character? I can't believe we were so stupid. FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopic There ain't much more to tell... they're haunted and you should stay away. FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopic Look, I've seen one of the spirits with my very own eyes. When it glared at me, I swear it burned right through my soul. FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopic Malacath has heard my pleas! He speaks to us! FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopic01 Fortunately, they seem to be sticking to the barrow. I think they're guarding it. FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopic01 Certainly isn't helping my business any; who'd want to rent a room anywhere near a haunted barrow? FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopic02 If you think there's anything you can do, be my guest. FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopic03 Don't blame you one bit. FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopicPre Let me see that! FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopicPre ...I can't believe this... FFI01WilhelmIntroBranchTopicPre It was all just a fabrication of this Wyndelius character? I can't believe we were so stupid. FFI01WilhelmIvestigateBranchTopic About a year or two ago, some fella named Wyndelius came through; said he was some kind of a treasure hunter. FFI01WilhelmIvestigateBranchTopic I warned him not to go in there, just like I warned you. The very next night we heard screams from the barrow, and that was it. FFI01WilhelmIvestigateBranchTopic We never saw him again. FFI02NarfiBranchPreTopic Reyda! You saw Reyda? Did you tell her Narfi cries? Did you tell her Narfi never said goodbye like mother and father? FFI02NarfiBranchTopic Reyda was here, then gone. Went to gather plants and never came home... nope, nope. FFI02NarfiBranchTopic Everyone looked and no one could find her. Wilhelm said she'll be back... told Narfi not to worry... Reyda will come back. FFI02NarfiCrazyBranchTopic With father I said goodbye... with mother I said goodbye. Reyda leaves and Narfi can't say goodbye. FFI02NarfiCrazyBranchTopic Makes Narfi very, very sad. Narfi needs Reyda to say goodbye. FFI02NarfiDoneBranch02Topic You've made Narfi so happy! Narfi now waits for his sister until she comes home. FFI02NarfiDoneBranch02Topic At least Narfi has Reyda's Necklace... reminds Narfi of his sister. Thank you for giving this to Narfi. FFI02NarfiDoneBranchTopic Oh no! No, no, no. Narfi never got to say goodbye! Now Narfi's all alone. FFI02NarfiDoneBranchTopic At least Narfi has Reyda's Necklace... reminds Narfi of his sister. Thank you for giving this to Narfi. FFI02NarfiReturnBranchTopic Reyda! You saw Reyda? Did you tell her Narfi cries? Did you tell her Narfi never said goodbye like mother and father? FFI02WilhelmBranchTopic He's harmless. He's been in a state ever since his sister Reyda disappeared over a year ago. FFI02WilhelmBranchTopic He just keeps to himself in what's left of his folk's farmhouse across the river. FFI02WilhelmBranchTopic01 I just said that to make the poor guy feel better. I'm pretty sure she's dead. FFI02WilhelmBranchTopic01 Reyda would gather ingredients from the small island in the river east of here. Then one day, she just vanished. FFI02WilhelmBranchTopic01 I tried to look for her, but she never turned up. FFI02WilhelmGHallBranchTopic I've seen some sort of a cave entrance over there. Folks call it "Geirmund's Hall," but I don't know why. FFI02WilhelmGHallBranchTopic Probably best if you avoid it for now... it didn't seem to do Reyda any good. FFI03TembaBearBranchTopic Have you ever seen what a bear does to the trees? They jump up on their hind legs and scratch them to bits... marking their territory or something. FFI03TembaBearBranchTopic It's getting to the point where I have to scour Skyrim for untouched trees at the right size. Costs me too much time and money. FFI03TembaBranchTopic Are you kidding? Those damn things will drive me right out of business! FFI03TembaBranchTopic Tell you what. Bring me ten of their pelts from anywhere in Skyrim I'll gladly pay you for thinning out the herd. FFI03TembaDoneBranchTopic Nice to finally meet someone who can follow simple instructions. FFI03TembaDoneBranchTopic Here's your reward, as promised. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work. FFI04KlimmekBranchTopic Mostly food supplies like dried fish and salted meats; you know, things that keep fresh for a long time. FFI04KlimmekBranchTopic The Greybeards tend not to get out much, if you catch my meaning. FFI04KlimmekBranchTopic01 Well, it's kind of an understanding between us. I mean, it just wouldn't feel right to charge them for a bit of preserved food. FFI04KlimmekBranchTopic01 Trouble is, my legs aren't what they used to be and climbing the 7,000 Steps takes its toll. FFI04KlimmekBranchTopic02 Really? That would be kind of you. FFI04KlimmekBranchTopic02 Here, take this bag of supplies. At the top of the steps you'll see the offering chest. Just leave the bag inside and you're done. FFI04KlimmekBranchTopic03 Maybe I'll hold off and go another day. Get some rest first. FFI04KlimmekDoneBranchTopic Quite a climb, wasn't it? FFI04KlimmekDoneBranchTopic Anyway, much appreciated. Here, take this for your troubles. FFI04KlimmekJourneyBranchTopic Well, there's the occasional wolf pack or stray, but that's all I've ever had to deal with. Shouldn't be a problem for the likes of you. FFI04KlimmekJourneyBranchTopic Other than that, watch your footing. In these wintry conditions, the stairs can be treacherous. FFMF01BowBranchTopic I bumped into them when I was coming back to my farm after buying supplies. FFMF01BowBranchTopic I know those lowlifes took it with them back to the Ratway. They left an unmistakable stench behind. FFMF01BowBranchTopic It was a family heirloom. I can't even put a price on how much that thing means to me. FFMF01BranchTopic A few days ago, some thieves from Riften broke in here and stole it! Can you imagine? Took the only thing of value we had. FFMF01BranchTopic If you have the guts to head into the Ratway and get my bow back, I'll pay you what I can. FFMF01BranchTopic01 Thanks. It would be nice to have it back... means a lot to me. FFMF01BranchTopic02 Fine. I'll wait until someone else with a little more courage comes along. FFMF01BranchTopic03 That's it! That's my bow! FFMF01DoneBranchTopic That's it! You found it! FFMF01DoneFinBranchTopic I don't know how you got it back, and I don't want to know. Frankly, I don't even care... I'm just so glad to see it again. FFMF01DoneFinBranchTopic Here, this is all can afford to give you as compensation. Hope it's enough. FFRiften01Goodbyes I think I've said enough. Now leave me alone. FFRiften01Goodbyes Be careful, Niluva is a bit... aggressive when she's cornered. FFRiften01Hellos I told you everything I know. What else did you want? FFRiften01Hellos You looking for something? FFRiften01Hellos I thank you for your help, my friend. FFRiften01JarlBranchTopic Well done! Your continued efforts have been of great benefit to the people of Riften. FFRiften01JarlBranchTopic Allow me to present you with this compensation for your selfless efforts. FFRiften01JarlBranchTopic I'll send my men to secure any of the remaining goods you left behind. We can't have that substance falling into the wrong hands now, can we? FFRiften01JarlBranchTopic Here, this should suffice as your cut of the... or rather, a reward for your actions. Now, if you'll excuse me... FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic It's nice to receive good news for a change. Did you recover anything else from the warehouse worth mentioning? FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic Results speak volumes over words and you've just proved it. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic Did you happen to discover where the fetcher was getting his skooma from? FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic01 Then there's no time to lose. It won't take long for Sarthis's associates to learn of his death. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic01 The source of the poison must be destroyed once and for all, otherwise another dealer will simply take his place. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic01 Do this task for me and you'll be well on your way to a title in Riften. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic01 Then I want you to head out there immediately and eliminate all of them. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic01 I can't afford to have another Sarthis blunder into Riften because they think we're too lazy to disrupt their pitiful operation. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic01 Do this task for me and you'll be well on your way to a title in Riften. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic02 Good. Report back to me when your task is complete. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic02 Good. Make sure not one of them escapes alive. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic03 I can't say I'm happy with your decision. If you change your mind, let me know. FFRiften01JarlIntroBranchTopic03 I'm very disappointed. I'd advise you to rethink that decision soon. FFRiften02BailoutTopic You idiot. You came all the way down here for that? FFRiften02LynlyBranchTopic No, I'm sorry. You must have me mistaken for someone else. I've never even heard that name before. FFRiften02LynlyBranchTopic01 I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. FFRiften02LynlyBranchTopic03 I've been hurt worse before. FFRiften02LynlyBranchTopic03a I should say so. I'd be careful in the future before you confront someone without all of the facts! FFRiften02LynlyDeadOptionTopic Well, that's just about the best news I've heard all week. FFRiften02LynlyDeadOptionTopic I was going to give this to whomever killed her for me, but I suppose you've earned it by bringing me this information. FFRiften02LynlyDeadOptionTopic This key opens one of my drop spots in the basement of the meadery. Take anything inside you like. FFRiften02LynlySolvedBranchTopic Then I found that wretched poetry from Svana. When I confronted Sibbi about it, he threatened to kill me. FFRiften02LynlySolvedBranchTopic I was scared so I told my brother Wulfur. He went to talk to Sibbi for me and... and... Sibbi killed him. My brother wasn't even armed! FFRiften02LynlySolvedBranchTopic When I heard what Sibbi did, I fled. Now you've found me, and you're going to tell him where I am. FFRiften02LynlySolvedBranchTopic Sibbi and I were to be married. We were supposed to be happy together forever. FFRiften02SharedTopic01 Please, I beg you, don't tell Sibbi where I am. He'll kill me! FFRiften02SharedTopic01 Sibbi's been spreading lies about me, you must hear me out. FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic Look, we all have our flaws; mine is that women can't get enough of me. FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic So I had this little affair going on while I was betrothed to a beautiful girl named Svidi. FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic Well, she finds out and she tells her brother, Wulfur. Then her brother attacks me with a knife... I mean, I had to defend myself! FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic01 Exactly! And now I have to stare at these bars for eight months. Can you believe it? FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic01 I was about to let that wench marry into the richest family in Riften, and this is how she repays me. FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic01 I'd do anything to have that whore's head on a platter. All I need to know is where she is. FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic02 That's the spirit. Find her and I promise you'll be well compensated. FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic02 (Deep exhale) FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic02 (Deep exhale) FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic02 (Deep exhale) FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic02 (Deep breath) FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic02 (Deep breath) FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic02 (Deep breath) FFRiften02SibbiJailBranchTopic03 Amusing. FFRiften02SibbiMonthsBranchTopic Mother thought I should be taught a lesson for airing the family's dirty laundry in public. FFRiften02SibbiMonthsBranchTopic I mean, I've... taken care of many people for her in the past. What in Oblivion did she expect me to do? FFRiften02SibbiMonthsBranchTopic Ah well. At least I have all the comforts of home during my stay. Well, except the touch of a woman of course. FFRiften02SibbiReturnBranchTopic Good, good. Just point me in the right direction and I'll do the rest. FFRiften02SibbiReturnBranchTopic01 Ivarstead? So close to Riften? She's an even bigger fool than I thought. FFRiften02SibbiReturnBranchTopic02 So, the whore thinks the Black-Briar reach ends at the border of Skyrim, eh? She'll soon discover her mistake. FFRiften02SibbiReturnBranchTopic03 Cut out the middleman, eh? Shrewd, very shrewd. You sure you don't have some Black-Briar blood in you? FFRiften02SibbiSvidiBranchTopic She was a young woman... buxom, with long flowing black hair. FFRiften02SibbiSvidiBranchTopic She used to sing the most lovely songs to me when we were courting. I've never heard a voice so beautiful. FFRiften02SibbiSvidiBranchTopic All that talent will go to waste when I'm finished with her. FFRiften03RomlynIntroBranchTopic No, no friend. You've got it all wrong. I'm not selling cheap mead. I'm selling good mead for cheap... Black-Briar Mead. FFRiften03RomlynIntroBranchTopic I sell cases of it for half of what the inns and taverns pay through the Meadery. FFRiften03RomlynIntroBranchTopic All I need is someone to deliver it for me. If anyone saw me leave Riften, they'd get suspicious. FFRiften03RomlynIntroBranchTopic02 I need someone to take this small keg of Black-Briar Mead to Wilhelm at the Vilemyr Inn in Ivarstead. FFRiften03RomlynIntroBranchTopic02 Drop it off and he'll trade you something for the delivery. Keep it as payment for the legwork. FFRiften03RomlynIntroBranchTopic02 Oh, and if you bump into Indaryn from the meadery, keep your mouth shut. He'd rat us out in a second. FFRiften03RomlynIntroBranchTopic03 Good. Now get going. FFRiften03RomlynIntroBranchTopic04 What, did you suddenly grow a conscience? Suit yourself. FFRiften04FinalRewardBranchTopic Yes, Master Elgrim will be pleased I've restored his stock of these rare ingredients. FFRiften04FinalRewardBranchTopic I feel I owe a bit more than some meaningless coin for all your diligence. Here, this key unlocks my supply chest at Elgrim's Elixirs. FFRiften04FinalRewardBranchTopic Feel free to take what you need from time to time. I'll be refilling it once every few days or so. FFRiften04HerbBranchTopic Nirnroot is the easiest. It grows only by the water and makes a unique chiming noise. The only drawback is it won't regrow after harvesting. FFRiften04HerbBranchTopic Nightshade is native to the pine forest and marshy tundra regions of Skyrim and has a distinctive starburst-like violet flower. FFRiften04HerbBranchTopic Last we have deathbell which only grows in marshy tundra terrain. Its inverted bluish-purple flower bunches are unmistakable. FFRiften04IngunAlchemyBranchTopic I'm aspiring to earn that title, yes. However, the road ahead is paved with loose cobbles and deadly pitfalls. FFRiften04IngunAlchemyBranchTopic Master Elgrim says I'm a natural; that I have a unique talent. But I fear his approval masks his intolerance for my mistakes. FFRiften04IngunAlchemyBranchTopic My errant formulas have cost Master Elgrim a fortune in ingredients; some of which are almost irreplaceable. FFRiften04IngunAlchemyBranchTopic01 To restore Master Elgrim's supply I would need 20 deathbell, 20 nightshade and 20 nirnroot. FFRiften04IngunAlchemyBranchTopic01 Am I sensing that you may be interested in gathering these rare ingredients for me? FFRiften04IngunAlchemyBranchTopic02 That means more time for my experiments and less time in the field. Much appreciated. FFRiften04IngunAlchemyBranchTopic03 Disappointing. FFRiften04IngunReturnBellBranchTopic Good, my experiments are at a critical stage and these are just what I need to finish. Here's some coin for all the trouble. FFRiften04IngunReturnNightBranchTopic Perfect. This is just what I needed. Here's some gold for your time. FFRiften04IngunReturnNirnBranchTopic Ah yes, excellent samples. Thank you. This coin should compensate you for all the bother. FFRiften05DinyaBranchTopic Riften is drowning in a sea of sin and wickedness and it's my personal mission to let everyone know that the warmth of Mara can see them through. FFRiften05DinyaBranchTopic All I need is a messenger to bring Her words to these poor souls by distributing these missives. FFRiften05DinyaBranchTopic01 Oh my, how wonderful! Lady Mara will be so pleased! FFRiften05DinyaBranchTopic01 Here you are. Now make sure you give out every single one, we can't afford to let even one lost soul stray from Her warmth. FFRiften05DinyaBranchTopic02 Such a shame. Perhaps another time then. FFRiften05DinyaDoneBranchTopic Oh, splendid! Just splendid! Mara smiles upon us this day. FFRiften05DinyaDoneBranchTopic Allow me to give you her gift... a true blessing to aid you in times of need. Despair not, her warmth will protect you always! FFRiften05DinyaMoreMissivesTopic Certainly! Glad to see you have the task well at hand. FFRiften05DinyaTipsBranchTopic Almost anyone in Riften is in dire need of those missives. Speak to them, child. You will know who will listen and who will sin. FFRiften05DinyaTipsBranchTopic A word of advice, keep away from the Keep and the city guards. They follow their own path and have already forsaken Her. FFRiften06SharedTopic01 I... I... I don't know what to say. Such kindness is unheard of in these times. FFRiften06SharedTopic01 Here. I want you to accept this as payment for your sacrifice and I... well, we both thank you. FFRiften06TalenJeiBranchTopic I met her when I wandered into Riften a few years ago. Been smitten with her ever since. In fact, I'm thinking of asking her to marry me. FFRiften06TalenJeiBranchTopic In Black Marsh, tradition dictates we present a potential mate a unique wedding ring to represent our future bond. FFRiften06TalenJeiBranchTopic I already have the gold band, but all I need are three flawless amethysts to complete the setting. FFRiften06TalenJeiBranchTopic01 I was hoping you'd offer. I didn't think it was my place to ask such a favor of you. I thank you. FFRiften06TalenJeiBranchTopic02 I understand. Hopefully I'll be able to save my meager earnings up to buy them one day. FFRiften06TalenJeiGemBranchTopic Every Argonian wedding proposal band is supposed to have three flawless amethysts as part of their design. FFRiften06TalenJeiGemBranchTopic Two of the gems, the ones on the outside, represent the couple to be married... one for the husband, one for the wife. FFRiften06TalenJeiGemBranchTopic The amethyst in the center represents The Hist, the entity that all Argonians consider a sacred part of our lives. FFRiften07MariseBranchTopic I picked up a trick from a butcher in Elinhir, a small town over the border in Hammerfell. FFRiften07MariseBranchTopic He showed me a way to grind up ice wraith teeth and use it as a preservative. Keeps everything cold and fresh, but only for a limited time. FFRiften07MariseBranchTopic I'm always looking to replenish my supply, so if you ever come across five of them, I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands. FFRiften07MariseBranchTopic01 Thanks, I was actually worried I'd run out. FFRiften07MariseBranchTopic02 Oh! Well if you change your mind, come back and see me. FFRiften07MariseIceWraithBranchTopic Well, I'd be careful if I were you. I hear the Nords hunt them for some kind of initiation rite and not all of them end up victorious. FFRiften07MariseIceWraithBranchTopic The last traveler that traded me some said he found them at a place called Ancient's Ascent. FFRiften07MariseIceWraithBranchTopic Careful though, rumor has it a dragon makes its home there. FFRiften07SharedTopic01 Perfect, just perfect! These should help keep my stock fresh for quite a while. FFRiften07SharedTopic01 And, as promised, here's my trade. Hope you like it. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Just one. I know when I was found by my Argonian father, I was wrapped in a blanket bearing the symbol of House Telvanni. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic It was one of the great houses in Morrowind long ago. Whether that means I was one of them or not, I'm uncertain. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic If you come across anything in your travels that might provide me with the answers I'm looking for, I'd be grateful. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Werewolf! FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic By the gods! It... it can't be! FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic It's a werewolf! To arms! To arms! FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic I'll be glad when this beast is gone from here. Do whatever it is you need to do with it, Dragonborn. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Farengar, very bad idea. Even for you. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Farengar! Enough, fool! FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Joor mey! What are you doing back there? FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Surely you wouldn't miss a few scales... or a small amount of blood... FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic I assure you, you will not even notice me. Most of them are hardly painful at all to a large dragon such as yourself. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic I would be most appreciative if you would permit me to perform some, ah, tests on you. Purely in the interests of the advancement of knowledge. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Incredible! Uh... sir, you have no idea how long I have waited for such an opportunity! FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Begone, mage. Do not test my promise to the Dovahkiin. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic You're either the bravest person I've ever met, or the biggest fool. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Faas nu, zini dein ruthi ahst vaal. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic By all the gods... FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic May Kynareth guard you while you pass through her realm! FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic Carry on, soldier. This is all part of the Dragonborn's plan. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic I admit, I doubted you, but no more. You've made a dragon submit to your will. A feat to rival the legendary Olaf One-Eye! What glory! FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic This is a local favorite and one of the first songs I ever learned. Ragnar the Red. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic This one's a favorite of mine. A legend we all know and love... FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic This is an ode to Skyrim's truest sons and daughters... the Stormcloaks. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic This is an ode to Skyrim's staunch protectors... the Imperials. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic This next song goes out to the Dragonborn. The savior of Skyrim. FFRiften08BrandSheiBranchTopic01 Thank you. FFRiften08BrandSheiHelpTopic I learned that a matron who had served for House Telvanni had escaped Morrowind during the Accession War. FFRiften08BrandSheiHelpTopic Records showed her buying passage aboard a sailing vessel named "The Pride of Tel Vos," but that's where the trail ran cold. FFRiften08BrandSheiHelpTopic I spent years looking for what became of the ship, but I ended up empty-handed. FFRiften09MjollGrimseverBranchTopic It was lost years ago in a Dwemer ruin. FFRiften09MjollGrimseverBranchTopic Without it, I feel almost as defenseless as a newborn. I don't think I'll ever be able to find a replacement. FFRiften09MjollGrimseverBranchTopic01 I couldn't ask you to undertake such a trecherous journey, it would be a fool's errand. FFRiften09MjollGrimseverBranchTopic01 But I see that spark in your eye and I know better than to warn you away. FFRiften09MjollGrimseverBranchTopic01 Grimsever rests with the Dwemer ruin of Mzinchaleft. Tread carefully, friend... those same ruins almost took my life. FFRiften09MjollGrimseverBranchTopic02 Yes, quite a shame. It was a fine weapon. FFRiften09MjollStoryBranchTopic I was adventuring in the depths of the ruins when I was attacked by a massive construct... like nothing I had ever seen. FFRiften09MjollStoryBranchTopic When the colossus struck, Grimsever was knocked from my grasp and I was wounded badly. FFRiften09MjollStoryBranchTopic It was only through blind luck that I was able to crawl away from the Dwemer abomination and make my way to the surface. FFRiften09MjollStoryBranchTopic I must have collapsed, because the next thing I remember is Aerin standing over me tending to my wounds. FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic Smithing's been in my blood for generations. I owe my success to my forefathers and their recipe for flame. FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic The secret is my forge. It consumes fire salts, a strange mineral that burns as hot as Red Mountain lava. FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic No, no! This can't be happening! FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic The sealed letter will explain everything that needs to be done. The amulet is quite valuable - you can use it to pay for any and all expenses. FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic01 Well, it was. Sadly, this forge is dying and I've used the last of my fire salts. If I can't feed it soon, it may grow cold. FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic02 You will? Thank you! Ten pinches of fire salts should give me all I need to bring this forge back to life. FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic02 The Reach belongs to the Forsworn! FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic02 The Reach belongs to the Forsworn! FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic02 The Reach belongs to the Forsworn! FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic02 The Reach belongs to the Forsworn! FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic02 The Reach belongs to the Forsworn! FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic02 What's going on, Madanach? You wouldn't have old Grisvar killed unless you weren't planning on needing him. FFRiften10BalimundBranchTopic03 Shutting this place down would dishonor my family's heritage, but what other choice will I have? FFRiften10BalimundFireSaltsBranchTopic A flame atronach's body might provide fire salt. They're dangerous creatures that can be summoned by wizards. FFRiften10BalimundFireSaltsBranchTopic Of course, it would be much easier to check with an alchemist. They occasionally have them for sale. FFRiften10SharedTopic01 Amazing! These must have been very hard to come by. FFRiften10SharedTopic01 You've saved my business and warmed an old smith's heart. For that, I thank you. FFRiften11DoneBranchTopic Oh I know. Isn't it wonderful? I bet she squirmed like a skeever when you pulled them out of your pocket. FFRiften11DoneBranchTopic I think things are going to be a lot different around here from now on and I have you to thank for it. FFRiften11DoneBranchTopic Here, I want you to have this. It was my father's but I'm certain you'll put it to good use. FFRiften11HaelgaBranchTopic What? How... where did you get these? FFRiften11HaelgaBranchTopic No, don't tell me. I don't want to know. Look, we need to keep this quiet... between you and me, okay. No one else needs to know about it. FFRiften11HaelgaBranchTopic If word got out that I'm practicing my Dibellan Arts in Riften, they'll run me out of town. FFRiften11HaelgaBranchTopic Here, take this and don't mention a word of this to anyone, especially Svana! FFRiften11SharedTopic01 Look, it was one night, okay? I think she slipped something in my drink. I haven't even been back to the Bunkhouse since. FFRiften11SharedTopic01 Just take this damn thing. I never want to see it again. FFRiften11SharedTopic02 I don't want a bad reputation in Riften, but Haelga's out of control. She wanted to try it in the stables so I said yes. FFRiften11SharedTopic02 If you want the mark that badly then go ahead and take it. FFRiften11SharedTopic03 If word gets around that I bedded her, they'll lose all respect for me at the meadery. FFRiften11SharedTopic03 Take the mark if you want it. It's not worth all this hassle anyway. FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic I have no idea what you're talking about. I'd never sleep with anyone besides my good wife, Drifa. FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic Huh? What are you talking about? I don't even know what that is. FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic You're crazy! How dare you make such an accusation! FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic01 Hand what over? I have no idea what you're talking about. FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic01 Look, you must have me confused with someone else. FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic01 You aren't making any sense. Hand what over? FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic02 Or else what? You don't scare me. FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic02 You have a death wish or something? FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic02 You're threatening me? Oh, that's rich! FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic03 I should say so. FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic03 Next time think before you speak. FFRiften11SuitorBranchTopic03 You've got some nerve. FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic It's not just the work, it's everything about her. She's disgusting. I think she takes her worship of Dibella a bit too seriously. FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic Do you know she's slept with three different men in the last month alone? What kind of a woman would do such a thing? FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic Just for once, I'd like to see her squirm... to rub her nose in it. FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic01 Actually, there is, but I don't think I could get away with doing it. She'd kill me if she found out. FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic01 You see, I happen to know after she makes love, she gives her partner a token of her affection called a Mark of Dibella. FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic01 If you confront her with three of the Marks, she'd be so embarrassed... well, I don't know what she'd do! FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic02 Oh, this is going to be great! FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic02 You need to get the Marks of Dibella from Bolli, Hofgrir and Indaryn. Not sure how you're going to do that, but try your best. FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic02 Then just confront Haelga with them and the rest works itself out. FFRiften11SvanaBranchTopic03 Yeah, you're right. Maybe it's not the best idea. FFRiften12WujeetaBranchTopic My job at the Riften Fishery is in danger. The owner, Bolli, said that if I show up for work in this condition one more time, then I'm out. FFRiften12WujeetaBranchTopic I don't mean to do this to myself, but I can't help it. I tried some skooma a year ago, and ever since then, I can't stop! FFRiften12WujeetaBranchTopic If you could give me a healing potion, I could cleanse this poison from my body and get back to my life. FFRiften12WujeetaBranchTopic01 Thank you, my friend. FFRiften12WujeetaBranchTopic02 Very well. I suppose I'll just curl up somewhere until this passes as usual. FFRiften12WujeetaBranchTopic03 Your kindness will never be forgotten. FFRiften12WujeetaBranchTopic03 Here, take this. It's all I can offer for what you've given me. FFRiften12WujeetaDoneBranchTopic Thank you. I'd almost given up hope. FFRiften12WujeetaDoneBranchTopic Here, take this. It's all I can offer for what you've given me. FFRiften13AlessandraBranchTopic I'd like to make the journey to the Hall of the Dead in Windhelm and give my ceremonial dagger to Andurs, the caretaker. FFRiften13AlessandraBranchTopic I believe once it's interred with my father's remains I'll be at peace with his memory. FFRiften13AlessandraBranchTopic01 I hadn't asked you because I was afraid you'd say no. I appreciate your help. FFRiften13AlessandraBranchTopic01 Here, I'm entrusting you with the dagger. Bring it to Andurs and he'll take care of the rest. FFRiften13AlessandraBranchTopic02 Yes. Perhaps one day I'll be able to make the journey, but for now I need to tend the dead. FFRiften13AlessandraDaggerBranchTopic A Priest of Arkay is entrusted with a ceremonial dagger once they've completed their training. FFRiften13AlessandraDaggerBranchTopic It usually given by the head priest who sanctified the ritual. In my case, the head priest happened to be my father. FFRiften13AlessandraDaggerBranchTopic The thing is, I never wanted to follow in his footsteps... I some ways I still don't. FFRiften13AlessandraDaggerBranchTopic The Thalmor never forget. FFRiften13AlessandraDaggerBranchTopic You'll have a traitor's death. FFRiften13AlessandraDaggerBranchTopic Why struggle? The Thalmor will only send more like me. FFRiften13AlessandraDaggerBranchTopic01 I had to for honor's sake, but I had waited too long. My father died before he could see my training to completion. FFRiften13AlessandraDaggerBranchTopic01 When I finally became a priest, they gave me the new high priest's dagger, but I already owned my father's. FFRiften13AlessandraDaggerBranchTopic01 So you see, I have to return it. It breaks tradition, and I need to tell him that I finally did what he wanted. FFRiften13AlessandraDoneBranchTopic I felt a caress on my cheek some time ago... I thought it to be a trick of the wind, but I think it was a message from my father. FFRiften13AlessandraDoneBranchTopic We've made peace with one another without even uttering a single word and I'm content for the first time in my life. FFRiften13AlessandraDoneBranchTopic I thank you. Here, please accept this as a token of my appreciation for your selfless action. FFRiften13AndursBranchTopic She finally decided to return it to her father. Bless her heart. FFRiften13AndursBranchTopic I will make sure this finds its way to his tomb as soon as possible. Thank you for bringing it, my child. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic Yes, I could use some help with that. An assistant perhaps? No, no, no. Maybe a familiar. No, too messy. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic Well, at any rate, organization is not my strong suit. Not at all. I need as much help as I can get. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic In fact, if you could retrieve a few things for me, I could start on my next set of experiments. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 As you can imagine, I tend to forget things often. Leave things around. I really must learn to put these things away. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 What I need is my Dwemer Stirring Spoon, my Orichalcum Ingot and my Grand Soul Gem. In fact, I could use them immediately. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 Bring those items back to me and I'll be happy to experiment on you. No, no... that isn't right. I'd be happy to reward you. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 Uh... why don't we talk about this later? FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 I just think pollinating would be easier if I could do a lot of plants at once. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 Half the field? What could need half the field? FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 Oh, half the field should do. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 That should be all right. How much space were you planning? FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 You know, I was thinking of expanding the herb garden. Make room for some new plants I'm planning. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 I told you I don't like you going there. I've seen scavengers picking at the mammoths. They could be dangerous. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic01 I had a look at that boneyard the other day, Vantus. The one to the Northwest. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic02 Excellent. I can't wait. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic02 Well... why are you still standing here? Oh, right. You need to know where they are! That would help. FFRiften14WylandriahBranchTopic03 A shame. Perhaps another time then. FFRiften14WylandriahDoneBranchTopic Items? What items? Let me see those. FFRiften14WylandriahDoneBranchTopic Hmm. I'm not sure how you managed it, but these are exactly what I need to start my next set of experiments. Wonderful! FFRiften14WylandriahDoneBranchTopic Well, at least allow me to reward you for your uncanny foresight. FFRiften15BolliBranchTopic I sell my catch across a good portion of Skyrim... it's worth its weight in gold to me. FFRiften15BolliBranchTopic The only untapped market left is Markarth. However, I just got word that Kleppr at The Silver Blood Inn might be interested. FFRiften15BolliBranchTopic If you're headed that way, I would appreciate you delivering a purchase agreement for me. You'd be paid, of course. FFRiften15BolliBranchTopic01 Good. Kleppr will pay you as soon as you arrive with the letter. Here you are. FFRiften15BolliBranchTopic02 Certainly. FFRiften15KlepprBranchTopic Ah, Bolli finally got someone out here. Well it's about time. I've been waiting for weeks. FFRiften15KlepprBranchTopic Well, thank you for bringing it I suppose. Have a good day. FFRiften15KlepprBranchTopic01 What? Oh! How could I have possibly forgotten. Your reward, of course... of course. FFRiften15KlepprBranchTopic01 Here you are. So sorry about that. FFRiften16BalimundBranchTopic Lazy good-for-nothing, isn't he? Sent you down here when I'm a stone's throw from the keep? FFRiften16BalimundBranchTopic Here's the sword. Tell Harrald to stop slaying walls and perhaps his blade will stay in better condition! FFRiften16HarraldBranchTopic If you must know, I was practicing in the yard when the guard I was sparring with feinted when I specifically told him to duck! FFRiften16HarraldBranchTopic My blade bit right into the stonework next to the keep and needed serious repairs. Thankfully our smith Balimund works wonders. FFRiften16HarraldBranchTopic In fact, if you'd fetch my blade from him I'd be most appreciative. FFRiften16HarraldBranchTopic01 Thank you. Do hurry please. FFRiften16HarraldBranchTopic02 Hmph. I should have known better than to ask a knave. FFRiften16HarraldReturnBranchTopic Took your sweet time getting it to me. FFRiften16HarraldReturnBranchTopic Here you go, for your trouble. FFRiften17FilnjarBranchTopic It's about time; I sent them a letter weeks ago. That Elgrim... he'd forget his own pants if his wife didn't help him dress. FFRiften17FilnjarBranchTopic Here you go. Tell Hafjorg that she can chip off whatever she thinks is a fair trade for their time. FFRiften17FilnjarOreSampleTopic Redbelly is supposed to be nothing but an iron mine. Been working it for years. FFRiften17FilnjarOreSampleTopic Then right before the spiders had moved in, we found that chunk of ore. Never seen anything like it. FFRiften17FilnjarOreSampleTopic I want to know what I'm dealing with before I start tearing it out of the ground. FFRiften17HafjorgBranchTopic I swear, if I wasn't around, Elgrim would forget to eat his meals. How we make any coin at all is beyond me. FFRiften17HafjorgBranchTopic In fact, I need to arrange for someone to pick up an ore sample for me in Shor's Stone... goodness knows Elgrim won't lift a finger to do it. FFRiften17HafjorgBranchTopic01 You would? Oh, that would be wonderful. FFRiften17HafjorgBranchTopic01 Speak to Filnjar in Shor's Stone. He's got some sort of ore sample he wants us to identify and was willing to pay us well for it. FFRiften17HafjorgBranchTopic02 The job pays well, so I hope I can make arrangements soon. We could really use the gold. FFRiften17HafjorgReturnBranchTopic Thank you. I'll be sure to get Elgrim to examine this as soon as his... busy schedule allows. FFRiften17HafjorgReturnBranchTopic Here, I had him make you a few things for all that travel. FFRiften18DoneListBranchTopic No, I think I have enough here to get started. FFRiften18DoneListBranchTopic Here, let me give you this. It's the least I can do for all your trouble. FFRiften18GoldBranchTopic Perfect. Melting this down will give me plenty of gold for those necklaces I started. FFRiften18MadesiBranchTopic I do. Sadly, I'm one of the few traditional Saxhleel Jewelers that remains in Tamriel; it's becoming a lost art. FFRiften18MadesiBranchTopic Only trouble is gathering materials has become hazardous. The roads to the mines and to the other cities are thick with bandits... and worse. FFRiften18MadesiBranchTopic Would you be interested in gathering some materials for me? I'd certainly be happy to compensate you. FFRiften18MadesiBranchTopic01 Thank you, marsh-friend. FFRiften18MadesiBranchTopic01 Thank you, land-strider. FFRiften18MadesiBranchTopic02 I'm seeking a small list of items to complete my next creation: two flawless sapphires, a mammoth tusk and a chunk of gold ore. FFRiften18SapphireBranchTopic Good, these will make wonderful settings for my rings. FFRiften18TuskBranchTopic The ivory from this tusk will be perfect for the inlay on my amulets. FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic Bah, I'm not afraid of anything out here. Walls are just a weakling's hiding spot. FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic Now me, I'm no weakling. In fact, I bet I've got the strongest arms in all of Skyrim. FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic01 Oh! Sounds like I've got a challenger. FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic01 Tell you what. How about a friendly wager, just between us. I bet you my entire purse of septims I can beat you in a fistfight. FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic01 You match the bet and we fight until one of us gives in. FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic02 All right, remember... this is a clean fight. No weapons, no tricks. And none of those fancy magic spells, either. FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic02 Here we go! FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic02 Well come back when you earn some more so I can take it from you! FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic03 I don't blame you. If I were in your shoes, I'd chicken out too. FFRiften19HofgrirBranchTopic03 Well, offer still stands if you ever want to have a go. FFRiften19HofgrirRematchBranchTopic Sure, I don't mind taking some more of your gold. FFRiften19HofgrirRematchBranchTopic Just let me know when you're ready. FFRiften19HofgrirRematchBranchTopic I'll fight you again, but not until you have the gold to back up your bet. FFRiften19HofgrirRematchBranchTopic01 Here we go! FFRiften19HofgrirRematchBranchTopic02 Suit yourself. I'm always here. FFRiften20BranchTopic Yes, I'm afraid we're aware of Sarthis's presence in the warehouse. FFRiften20BranchTopic Unfortunately, we're certain he has informants within the city guard. Every time we've made a move to arrest him, he's escaped. FFRiften20BranchTopic However, if you'd take care of this discreetly, you might be able to surprise him without warning. FFRiften20BranchTopic Ah yes, Sarthis... a thorn in my side for the last few years. FFRiften20BranchTopic I've tried repeatedly to eradicate that meddler, but he has ears within the city guard. Gives us the slip every time we raid the warehouse. FFRiften20BranchTopic However, if you'd wish to eliminate that burden for me... well, let's just say it would go a long way with earning my favor. FFRiften20BranchTopic01 Excellent. Here, this is the key to the warehouse. FFRiften20BranchTopic01 See if you can drop in on this dealer of poison and convince him to close down his operation permanently. FFRiften20BranchTopic01 Good. Here, take the key to the warehouse. FFRiften20BranchTopic01 Pay dear old Sarthis a visit and tell him Maven sends her regards, would you? FFRiften20BranchTopic02 Hm. Well, if you change your mind, come see me again. FFRiften20BranchTopic02 Let me give you a word of advice. FFRiften20BranchTopic02 Think about your choices carefully from now on. You'll go much farther in Riften with me on your side. FFRiften20SharedInfo01 Okay, okay, I'll tell you. FFRiften20SharedInfo01 I get my skooma from Sarthis Idren. He has some sort of a setup over at the Riften Warehouse. FFRiften20SharedInfo01 You can't get inside though. They've kept that place locked up tight since the war began. FFRiften20WujeetaBranchTopic Look, I don't think I should say. I mean, they could kill me! FFRiften20WujeetaBranchTopic01 It's not worth dying over. FFRiften20WujeetaBranchTopic02 It's got nothing to do with the coin... this is my life we're talking about. FFRiften20WujeetaBranchTopic03 You can't threaten me any worse than they have! FFRiften20WujeetaBranchTopic04 Thank you. FFRiften20WujeetaCleanBranchTopic If it wasn't for skooma, I'd already be on my way out of this horrible city. FFRiften20WujeetaCleanBranchTopic All my gold... completely gone. Now I have to start over. I'll never use skooma again! FFRiften20WujeetaCleanBranchTopic Although I suppose a little mead now and then would be harmless... FFRiften20WujeetaKeyBranch01 I overheard Bolli say that only the Jarl carries the key to the warehouse. FFRiften20WujeetaKeyBranch01 When I meet Sarthis there, he's usually waiting for me outside with his bodyguard. FFRiften21ReturnBranchTopic Good. I was hoping you hadn't forgotten about it. FFRiften21ReturnBranchTopic As promised, here's your payment for bringing them to me. Got it as part of a fair trade from my client. FFRiften21VekelArondilBranchTopic Only rumors. He used to have a home in Dawnstar until they burned it down. FFRiften21VekelArondilBranchTopic The people say he was doing unspeakable experiments on reanimation... rituals only a necromancer would perform. FFRiften21VekelArondilBranchTopic After he made for Yngvild, he was never heard from again. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic Now that you mention it, there is. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic I have a buyer with, shall we say, a very odd taste in literature looking for some particular books. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic Yes, and just like weeds, they're nothin' but trouble. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic Those little girls of yours are growing like weeds, Lemkil. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic True enough, but there's nothing wrong with a little adventure now and then. Not much excitement in working the soil every day. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic Ah, there's nothing like fresh air and honest labor to bolster the spirit. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic So far, things are going well. Let's just hope the weather holds. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic Are you making good progress with the planting? FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic I'm trying something new, offering discounts for bulk purchases. So far, that seems to be working. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic I hear your crops sold well at the market. Well done, Ennis. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic We don't need your charity, Breton. If my girls deserve something nice, it'll be their father who buys it. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic Good day, Lemkil. I saw some nice dresses for your little girls while I was in Whiterun. I'd be happy to purchase them, if you like. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic Thanks for the offer, Jouane, but I'm saving up for a new sword. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic Anything I can pick up for you on my next trip into the city, Erik? FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic How thoughtful! I'll come take a look after supper. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic I picked up a set of fine silver brushes in the city, Reldith. I thought you might be interested. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic Glad to hear all my hard work has paid off. Maybe we'll fetch a better price for our crops next time we're in the city. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic The last time I was in Whiterun, the tradesmen were talking about you. It seems your reputation as a businessman is growing. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic01 I'm told they're the ravings of a madman... a wizard named Arondil and his peculiar cravings. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic01 It's said to be spread across four volumes and very hard to come by. My client is offering quite a reward for them, which I'd split with you. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic02 Then we have a deal. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic02 In his later years, Andoril moved into some ice caves known as Yngvild. He prefered the solitude in which to perform his, um... experiments. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic03 Yeah, but you're into gold. Let me know if you change your mind. I'm not going anywhere. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic04 I can't believe it. You have them already? FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic04 Here, take this. This should cover your end of the work nicely. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic04 It's a good start, but you need all four of the volumes or the set isn't complete. FFRiften21VekelBranchTopic04 Why don't you head back out to Yngvild and find the rest? FFRiften21VekelJournalsBranchTopic Recently, a woman was found... naked and shivering along the road to Dawnstar. FFRiften21VekelJournalsBranchTopic The only information the guard could get from her were tales of strange experiments and Arondil scribbling in his journals. FFRiften22Goodbyes Remember, this is between us now. FFRiften22Goodbyes That'll teach me to try and make extra coin around this city. FFRiften22Goodbyes Be careful with Sapphire. She's mixes with all sorts of nasty people. FFRiften22Hellos Hey, I cut you into the deal. There's nothing else to discuss. FFRiften22Hellos Look, I already said Shadr doesn't owe me a thing, so get off my back. FFRiften22Hellos Yeah? What's your problem? FFRiften22Hellos Any luck with Sapphire? FFRiften22Hellos Huh? What do you want? FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic I knew that stupid kid would try and find a way to weasel out of his debt. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic Look, this is really simple. I lent him some gold, he promised to pay me back and now he says he's broke. End of story. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic No, but that won't account for the size issue. Blast, if only so many of these creatures hadn't escaped. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic Perhaps some more Glow Dust in the next batch of potions. That should increase their resistance. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic01 All right, all right. I guess I made enough from his shipment. No need to waste any more time threatening a stable hand. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic01 Tell Shadr he doesn't owe me anything. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic01 I don't care, a deal's a deal. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic02 Don't know why you'd help a stranger like that, but a septim's a septim... don't care where it comes from. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic02 You can tell Shadr his debt's been paid. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic02 You don't have enough gold to pay it off, and I'm not cutting any deals. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic03 All right, all right! Take it easy. No idea why you'd care about a stranger so much, but this isn't worth a fight. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic03 Tell Shadr I'm forgetting about his debt. FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic03 Ha ha! Are you kidding me? I've got the entire Thieves Guild at my back. What've you got? FFRiften22SapphireBranchTopic04 You can go back and forth all you want, he just needs to pay. FFRiften22SapphireTGBranchTopic Back off, this action's all mine. No room for anyone else in the Guild on this one. FFRiften22SapphireTGBranchTopic01 Why should I bother? I've already made a bunch of coin off of his shipment, so anything else I squeeze out of him would be a bonus. FFRiften22SapphireTGBranchTopic01 Oh... wait a second. I see what this is. You want me to cut you in or you'll rat me out to Brynjolf. FFRiften22SapphireTGBranchTopic01 Tell you what. I'll give you a share right now if you forget the whole thing. FFRiften22SapphireTGBranchTopic02 Now you're talking. FFRiften22SapphireTGBranchTopic02 Oh, if you see Shadr, remind him he still owes me that debt. FFRiften22SapphireTGBranchTopic03 Woah, woah. Calm down. Let's just think about this for a moment. FFRiften22SapphireTGBranchTopic03 Sigh. You win. Tell Shadr he can forget the debt. FFRiften22SapphireTGLeaderBranchTopic Oh, you heard about that, huh? Uh, sorry boss. I was going to speak to Delvin about cutting the Guild in, but I forgot. FFRiften22SapphireTGLeaderBranchTopic You aren't angry about it, right? FFRiften22SapphireTGLeaderBranchTopic01 Yeah, I figured it would be like that. Here you go. FFRiften22SapphireTGLeaderBranchTopic02 I got the message. Consider it forgotten, boss. FFRiften22ShadrBranchTopic I owe a great deal of money to someone and I think they cheated me. I don't know what to do. FFRiften22ShadrBranchTopic01 I was able to work out a deal with the stables in Whiterun to sell me some of their tack and harnesses. FFRiften22ShadrBranchTopic01 I borrowed some gold from Sapphire to pay for the shipment, but it got robbed before it even arrived. FFRiften22ShadrBranchTopic01 Now Sapphire wants her money back, and if I don't pay her, I think she's going to kill me. FFRiften22ShadrBranchTopic02 You will?! Oh, thank you! FFRiften22ShadrBranchTopic03 Not half as sorry as I am. FFRiften22ShadrSolvedBranchTopic Oh. Well, thanks for trying I suppose. I'll just have to come up with the coin somehow. FFRiften22ShadrSolvedBranchTopic By the Eight! You actually talked her into it? FFRiften22ShadrSolvedBranchTopic I don't know what to say. I didn't think anyone in Riften even cared what happened to me. FFRiften22ShadrSolvedBranchTopic Look, I was saving this, but I wanted you to have it. I thought I might need it if Sapphire came for me, but I don't need it anymore. FFRiftenShared08Topic01 Let me see that! FFRiftenShared08Topic01 Yes... yes. This is it! I don't know how you found this stranger, but you've obviously succeeded where I had failed. FFRiftenShared08Topic01 Please, let me offer you this key. It unlocks my strongbox under my stand in the marketplace. Help yourself to anything inside. FFRiftenSibbiICTopic You've done me a great service, my friend. Allow me to compensate you for the information. FFRiftenSibbiICTopic This key opens one of my stashes in the basement of the meadery. Help yourself to any of its contents. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic You've already taken all the necessary steps in becoming eligible for the title. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic Therefore all that remains is to bestow it upon you. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic You damn well better. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic I've checked with my court and apparently you're fully eligible... there's nothing standing in the way of presenting you the title. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic Before I can present you with the title, there's but a single requirement you must fulfill. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic A Thane of Riften is expected to maintain permanent residence within the city walls. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic My steward has such a home available to you for purchase. I think you'll find the accommodations to be most pleasing. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic When the house is yours, return to me and I will present you the title. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic Not so fast, there's a matter of residence to be discussed. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic In order to have the title bestowed upon you, you need to purchase a house within Riften. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic And by the Eight, aren't you fortunate that my steward has just the place for you to buy. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic After the place is yours, come back to me and we'll deal with the rest of the nonsense. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic What are you doing here? You're supposed to be meeting Malborn in Solitude. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic Not here. I told you to meet me in Riverwood. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic As soon as you distract the guards, I'll open the door. FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic What can I get for you, sir? FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic What can I get for you, ma'am? FFRiftenThaneContBranchTopic Yes? What do you need? FFRiftenThaneDoneBranchTopic01 I should be the one thanking you. You've solved more problems in the short time you've been here then anyone in my court has their entire careers. FFRiftenThaneDoneBranchTopic01 You've been a beacon of hope in these dark times for my people and I will never forget it. FFRiftenThaneDoneBranchTopic01 Therefore, by my authority as Jarl, I pronounce you Thane of Riften and award you all of the benefits befitting your station. Congratulations. FFRiftenThaneDoneBranchTopic01 I expect that you'll distance yourself from the affairs of state. In other words, keep your nose out of my business and we'll do just fine. FFRiftenThaneDoneBranchTopic01 Just remember that you're only a part of my court, this doesn't make you one of the family. FFRiftenThaneDoneBranchTopic01 I guess all that's left is to bestow the title. What were those words again? FFRiftenThaneDoneBranchTopic01 Doesn't matter... the title is yours. I henceforth name you Thane of Riften. Don't disappoint me. FFRiftenThaneJarlBranchTopic Ah, there you are. I was wondering when you'd visit us again. FFRiftenThaneJarlBranchTopic I've been informed by my steward that you've made quite an impression in the Rift; several of our citizens have expressed their admiration. FFRiftenThaneJarlBranchTopic So, I've been hearing your name in court quite a bit lately. FFRiftenThaneJarlBranchTopic I've been informed by my steward that you've made quite an impression in the Rift; the people won't stop blathering about you. FFRiftenThaneJarlBranchTopic01 Much like Mjoll, you've become champion of our hold; helping people with their difficulties and providing assistance for their needs. FFRiftenThaneJarlBranchTopic01 As the Jarl of Riften, I feel it's my duty to honor your selfless behavior by honoring you with the title Thane of Riften. FFRiftenThaneJarlBranchTopic01 Oh don't pretend to be modest. I'm talking about your new role as champion. Apparently, you've taken my people under your wing. FFRiftenThaneJarlBranchTopic01 If you think you can steal my throne by winning the hearts of the people, that's where you're wrong. Keep that in mind. FFRiftenThaneJarlBranchTopic01 However, since it wouldn't behoove me to make you disappear, I'd rather have you on my side as Thane of Riften. FFRiftenThaneReturnViewTopic Then allow me to officially welcome you to Riften. You'll make a fine addition to our city. FFRiftenThaneReturnViewTopic All that remains now is to bestow the title upon you. FFRiftenThaneReturnViewTopic Hmm? What's this about? FFRiftenThaneReturnViewTopic Oh, yes. Of course... the whole thane thing. I'd forgotten. If you're ready then, can we get this out of the way? FFRiftenWylandriahDirectionsBranchTopic Let's see. Last time I used the Dwemer Spoon was at my dear friend Boti's house in Ivarstead... Fellstar Farm I believe it's called. FFRiftenWylandriahDirectionsBranchTopic The orichalcum ingot should still be in Winterhold at the Frozen Hearth Inn. I don't know why I didn't just take it with me. FFRiftenWylandriahDirectionsBranchTopic And last is the soul gem. I left that one in Windhelm at the White Phial alchemy shop. It was a good trade too. Ah well. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Aduri is what some would call a free spirit. She likes to wander the fall forest for hours on end. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic If we were still living at my alchemy shop in Vivec City, it wouldn't be so bad, she could wander the canals all day. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic But around here, there's a tremendous amount of work to get done, not to mention the dangers she's not ready to face. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Now everyone get back to work. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Everyone is in agreement, so all I can do now is name you Guild Master and wish you good fortune and long life. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Absolutely. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Karliah? FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Sure, why not. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Vex? FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Agreed. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Delvin? FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Look, I've never been good at these things, so I'm just going to keep it short. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic Being Guild Master means more than just getting a cut of all the loot, it's about being a leader and keeping this rabble in order. FFSarethi01AduriBranchTopic With that in mind, I propose that the position of Guild Master should be yours. FFSarethi01BranchDoneFinTopic Let me at least give you something for your efforts... finding all of these couldn't have been easy... or cheap. FFSarethi01BranchDoneTopic Fantastic. I was concerned I had asked for too many, but I'm glad to see you proved me wrong. FFSarethi01BranchTopic Is it that obvious? Sigh. I've got my hands full here. FFSarethi01BranchTopic Between the farm chores, cultivating my supply of nirnroot and keeping a tight rein on my sister Aduri, there's little time for rest. FFSarethi01BranchTopic01 Really? That would be a pleasant change. FFSarethi01BranchTopic01 One of the ingredients I need to cultivate nirnroot are jazbay grapes... the acidic content of the juice is perfect for the soil. FFSarethi01BranchTopic01 I need twenty of them for my current crop. FFSarethi01BranchTopic02 I don't need luck, I need rest. FFSarethi01BranchTopic03 My goodness, how did you ever come by all of these? FFSarethi01BranchTopic03 No matter, I appreciate your generosity. FFSS01SpidersBranchTopic It's full of spiders, that's what's wrong with it! Almost killed Grogmar and me when they showed up. FFSS01SpidersBranchTopic I'm worried that they'll come out of the mine looking for food soon... then we're in even bigger trouble. FFSS01SpidersBranchTopic00 They're as useless as a fifth wheel on a wagon. Gave me some sort of a line about "keeping an eye out for enemy soldiers." FFSS01SpidersBranchTopic00 What's the point in protecting this place if the mine's completely useless? Idiots. FFSS01SpidersBranchTopic01 Tell you what. Keep to your word, and I'll line your pockets with as much as I can scrape up. FFSS01SpidersBranchTopic02 I never asked you to help in the first place. Why would I? Everyone in Skyrim only helps themselves. FFSS01SpidersBranchTopic03 Wait... you mean you killed every last one of them? I can't believe it! FFSS01SpidersDoneBranchTopic Gone? Every one of them? Why, that's incredible. FFSS01SpidersDoneBranchTopic Get back! FFSS01SpidersDoneBranchTopic Go! We'll follow when we can! FFSS01SpidersDoneFinBranchTopic Finally, we can reopen the mine and put Shor's Stone back on the map! FFSS01SpidersDoneFinBranchTopic Here, please accept this gift as a token of our gratitude. FFSS01SpidersInfoBranchTopic Moved right in and made themselves at home. Did it overnight. I'm not even sure exactly where they came from. FFSS01SpidersInfoBranchTopic No one's been hurt yet, and they seem to be staying in the mine, but who knows how long that will last? FFSS01SpidersInfoBranchTopic If we can't get back into the mine, our town is sunk. FFSS01SpidersInfoBranchTopic One day we were cracking rocks in the deepest parts of the mine and the next day they were all over the place. FFSS01SpidersInfoBranchTopic I'd give my eye teeth if it meant getting those damn spiders out of the mine! FFSS02SylgjaBranchTopic My parents live there. I usually make the journey to bring them gifts and to just say hello, but I haven't been well lately. FFSS02SylgjaBranchTopic I've written some letters and placed them in a satchel. Perhaps you wouldn't mind delivering it to them on my behalf? FFSS02SylgjaBranchTopic01 You would? Well then, I would insist on rewarding you for your time. FFSS02SylgjaBranchTopic01 Here, take my satchel and give it to my father, Verner. He'll likely have something for you to bring back. FFSS02SylgjaBranchTopic02 Yes, indeed. FFSS02SylgjaCompleteBranchTopic Ah, yes... seems he sent back my satchel stuffed with letters. I look forward to reading them. FFSS02SylgjaCompleteBranchTopic I appreciate the delivery, here... I want you to have this. I insist. FFSS02SylgjaSickBranchTopic I had a bad fall in the mine when I was bringing some food to the men. FFSS02SylgjaSickBranchTopic I was pretty bad off for a while, but a priest of Mara was passing through on his way to Dawnstar and healed me to the best of his abilities. FFSS02SylgjaSickBranchTopic I'm still pretty sore and can't really walk too far without having to rest for a while. FFSS02VernerBranchTopic It's a shame our daughter couldn't make the journey herself, but at least she still thinks of us. FFSS02VernerBranchTopic If you wouldn't mind bringing this back to her for us, I'd appreciate it. FreeformCaravansAAccept You are kind to offer. We believe the bandits are a part of a group headquartered here. FreeformCaravansAAccept Be careful. I miss my amulet, but a life cannot be replaced as easily. FreeformCaravansAQuestEndTopic There it is. Ah.... Home.... FreeformCaravansAQuestEndTopic If you ever need the skills of a Khajiit warrior by your side, I would be honored to travel with you. FreeformCaravansAQuestEndTopic Until then, here. This is for you, in thanks. FreeformCaravansAQuestGiveTopic A few days ago, we were ambushed. A nuisance, really, but many of the marauders had quick fingers. FreeformCaravansAQuestGiveTopic One of them stole my Moon Amulet, given to me by my mother when I was just a cub. It is my only memory of home in this cold land. FreeformCaravansAQuestGiveTopic Bandits harass the caravans at every step, but Khajiit usually scare them off. FreeformCaravansAReject We are used to the cycle of gain and loss. It is no trouble. FreeformCidhnaMineADuachIntimidate Easy there. I didn't mean nothing. Take it. FreeformCidhnaMineADuachIntimidate That's it. FreeformCidhnaMineADuachNevermind Smart. FreeformCidhnaMineADuachPersuade Getting the shakes, huh? All right. Take it. Old gods keep you. FreeformCidhnaMineADuachPersuade Skooma addict. Get lost. FreeformCidhnaMineAGisvarAccept Ah, you're a clever one aren't you? Now, here's your shiv. Promise you won't ever use it on me, okay? FreeformCidhnaMineAGisvarAccept Thank you, friend. Don't worry. I'll have that shiv ready for you. FreeformCidhnaMineAGrisvarReject All right, but if you change your mind. Not like we're going anywhere. FreeformCidhnaMineAGrisvarTopic Ah, you want protection? I can get you what you need. FreeformCidhnaMineAGrisvarTopic Maybe you can do something for me, first? Duach has a bottle of Skooma. Finest distilled Moon Sugar. I'm shaking just thinking about it. FreeformCidhnaMineAHaveSkoomaTopic Here's your shiv. Promise you won't ever use it on me, okay? FreeformCidhnaMineAOdvanTopic You give me one more look, and I cut you open. That Skooma's mine. FreeformCidhnaMineAUraccenTopic Small blade. Easy to hide. I mean, sure, you could just swing a pickaxe into someone's face, but people tend to see that coming. FreeformCidhnaMineAUraccenTopic Got a problem with a prisoner? Get a shiv. Hear Grisvar has a spare, if you could get him to part with it. FreeformCollegeAFaraldaBranchTopic She what? FreeformCollegeAFaraldaBranchTopic Oh, I should've known she'd try it again! FreeformCollegeAFaraldaBranchTopic Thanks for warning me. I'll see to it this is taken care of. FreeformCollegeAFaraldaBranchTopic I'm still waiting for those notes, if you can get them. FreeformCollegeAFinalBranchTopic Good, good. She didn't see you take them? FreeformCollegeAFinalBranchTopic Al right, this should be enough to figure out what she's up to. Then I can make sure it doesn't work. FreeformCollegeAFinalBranchTopic Good work. Here, take this, and keep quiet. FreeformCollegeAInitResponse1 Yes, yes it is. FreeformCollegeAInitResponse1 You have a problem with that? FreeformCollegeAInitResponse1 Look, either you get the notes or I'll figure out another way to do it. Just come find me if you can get your hands on them. FreeformCollegeAResponse2 I'll throw some money at you. Good enough? FreeformCollegeAResponse2 Just get the notes and bring them to me. If you can't do it, I'll find some other way to manage it. FreeformDragonBridge01OldaAccept If you want to try, but I'll keep my dagger sharpened just in case. FreeformDragonBridge01OldaAccept You can help yourself to any drink you find, but bring me the bottle of Dragon's Breath Mead. It's his favorite, so I know he has one there. FreeformDragonBridge01OldaTopic He promised me, swore on his ancestors, that he'd give up the mead. And what do I find out? He's been stashing drink in a cave nearby. FreeformDragonBridge01OldaTopic He even has some wolves guarding it. I swear, I should just cut out his tongue. That would be the end of it. FreeformDragonBridge01OldaTopic Have you met my husband? Well don't bother, he's a drunk. FreeformDragonBridge01OldRefuse It's not luck, it's mead I'm cursing. FreeformDragonBridge01ReturntoHorgeirTopic Shor's Crown, that woman never gives up. I guess that's why I married her. FreeformDragonBridge01ReturntoHorgeirTopic You're a real friend saving this mead from her. Here, let me show you how to block a punch that might be coming from some angry spouse, huh? FreeformDragonBridge01ReturntoOldaTopic Stendarr's Mercy to you. If my Horgeir doesn't give up the mead this time, I'll hit him over the head with it. FreeformDragonBridge01ReturntoOldaTopic Here, for your trouble. FreeformDushnikhYalALashGiveItemTopic So that's it, then. "Don't come back." FreeformDushnikhYalALashGiveItemTopic Thank you. Here. You honored my mother's task and should be rewarded. FreeformDushnikhYalALashGiveItemTopic Now, I need to be alone. FreeformDushnikhYalAQuestgiveTopic Occasionally. But an Orc blade is a very personal thing. Anger, regret, pride. All these things are put into our steel. FreeformDushnikhYalAQuestgiveTopic When my daughter Lash chose to leave the stronghold, I forged a sword to channel all my shame and grief. FreeformDushnikhYalAQuestgiveTopic Honor me with a task, outlander. Bring the sword to my daughter, if you see her. It'll be all she needs to know. FreeformDushnikhYalAQuestgiveTopic Everyone, please. I'm doing what I can to end these nightmares. FreeformDushnikhYalAQuestgiveTopic In the meantime all I ask is you remain strong and put your trust in Lady Mara. FreeformDushnikhYalAQuestgiveTopic Listen to your friend, Fruki. They are just dreams, my dear. I assure you that it is quite normal. FreeformDushnikhYalAQuestgiveTopic The shrine of Namira is beyond that door. Get ready. FreeformDushnikhYalAQuestgiveTopic The shrine of Namira is further inside. Keep going. FreeformDushnikhYalAQuestgiveTopic Draugr are below. Foul tasting. FreeformFalkreathQuest03Accept Good. He will have fled to gather others of his kind. FreeformFalkreathQuest03OfferTopic You may have seen the open grave in our graveyard. Most of the townsfolk think it's the work of a corpse thief. FreeformFalkreathQuest03OfferTopic The truth is less pleasant. It is...was, the grave of Vighar, my own ancestor, dead for centuries now. FreeformFalkreathQuest03OfferTopic He is also a vampire. My family is entrusted with keeping him buried, but recently someone stole the wardstone, and Vighar escaped. FreeformFalkreathQuest03OfferTopic Destroy Vighar, my long dead vampire ancestor. Have you changed your mind? FreeformFalkreathQuest03OfferTopic You were helpful before. I have need of your help again, if you're willing. FreeformFalkreathQuest03Reject I expected too much. I'll seek someone else to salvage the family honor. FreeformFalkreathQuest03ReturnTopic My family thanks you. Take this as a token of our gratitude. FreeformFalkreathQuest03Task No. It's too late for the wardstone. Vighar must be destroyed. If this gets out, my family will suffer great shame. FreeformFrostRiverAccept That'd be great. There's a case of our soon-to-be famous mead that needs to get to Winterhold. Get it there, and you can keep the delivery fee. FreeformFrostRiverDeliverRepeat I need you to take a case of mead to the Frozen Hearth in Winterhold. The delivery fee is yours to keep. FreeformFrostRiverDeliverRepeat Another case of mead needs to find its way to the Bannered Mare in Whiterun. The delivery fee is yours to keep. FreeformFrostRiverDeliverRepeat Candlehearth Hall is running low on our famous mead. Can you drop off this case? The gold is yours, as always. FreeformFrostRiverDeliveryBranchTopic Ah, good. I've been waiting on that. FreeformFrostRiverDeliveryBranchTopic Here's the gold for it. Thanks. FreeformFrostRiverDeliveryBranchTopic Ah, good. I've been waiting on that. FreeformFrostRiverDeliveryBranchTopic Here's the gold for it. Thanks. FreeformFrostRiverDeliveryBranchTopic Ah, good. I've been waiting on that. FreeformFrostRiverDeliveryBranchTopic Here's the gold for it. Thanks. FreeformFrostRiverInitialBranchTopic It's tough, with just the two of us. FreeformFrostRiverInitialBranchTopic There's hardly ever time to make the occasional delivery to the taverns of Skyrim. FreeformFrostRiverInitialBranchTopic We could use a pair of hands and a strong back. There'd be a little coin in it for you. FreeformFrostRiverInitialBranchTopic Indeed I do. FreeformHighHrothgarAArngierTopic We have felt the whisper of a Word. Give me your map, and I will show you where its echo can be found. FreeformHighHrothgarBFeim "Fade" in your tongue. Mortals have greater affinity for this Word than the dov. Everything mortal fades away in time, but the spirit remains. FreeformHighHrothgarBFeim Ponder the meaning of spirit. Unslaad zii. Where mortal flesh may wither and die, the spirit endures. FreeformHighHrothgarBFeim That is "Feim." Let that meaning fill you. Su'um ahrk morah. You will find that your spirit will give you more strength. FreeformHighHrothgarBFus It is called "Force" in your tongue. But as you push the world, so does the world push back. FreeformHighHrothgarBFus Think of the way force may be applied effortlessly. Imagine but a whisper pushing aside all in its path. FreeformHighHrothgarBFus That is "Fus." Let its meaning fill you. Su'um ahrk morah. You will push the world harder than it pushes back. FreeformHighHrothgarBMeditationsTopic Which calls to you, Dovahkiin? Fus, Feim, or Yol? FreeformHighHrothgarBPaarthurnaxA1 Knowing a Word of Power is to take its meaning into yourself. FreeformHighHrothgarBPaarthurnaxA1 Contemplate the meaning of a Rotmulaag. You will become closer to that Word, as it fills your inner self. FreeformHighHrothgarBPaarthurnaxA1 Will I teach you, Dovahkiin? What Word calls you to deeper understanding? There are three to master: Fus, Feim, and Yol. FreeformHighHrothgarBPaarthurnaxTopic I have taught the Way of the Voice for centuries and the Thu'um since long before that. FreeformHighHrothgarBPaarthurnaxTopic But no, Dovahkiin. Others do not come here to train anymore. Saraan. You are the first in over a hundred years. FreeformHighHrothgarBPaarthurnaxTopic I meditate on the Rotmulaag - the Words of Power. I counsel in their use. It is enough for me. FreeformHighHrothgarBYol In your tongue, the Word simply means "Fire." It is change given form. Power at its most primal. FreeformHighHrothgarBYol That is the true meaning of "Yol." Suleyk. Power. You have it, as do all dov. But power is inert without action and choice. FreeformHighHrothgarBYol Think of this as the fire builds in your su'um, in your breath. Su'um ahrk morah. What will you burn? What will you spare? FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachAccept You can try, but I'd keep your sword-arm ready if things get ugly. FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachAtarDeadBranchTopic That won't be the last we hear from the Silver-Bloods, but at least we can get back to work. FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachAtarDeadBranchTopic Thank you. You've done a good thing for me and my workers. Here. This is for you. FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachBribe That's more gold than they're offering. Fine. I'll sell. FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachBribe This isn't about the money. FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachForgetIt Let's do that. FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachIntimidate Easy. I'll sell. Just don't hurt anyone. FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachPersuade You're right. They always get what they want, somehow. Fine. Tell Atar I'll sell. FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachPersuade Someone has to stand up to them. I won't sell. FreeformKarthwastenAAinethachReject You're telling me. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarAccept Do that and I'll make sure you get a cut. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarAccept Ainethach needs to get rid of those Silver-Blood. Then maybe we can go back to work. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarAccept You should talk to Ainethach. He runs the mines. Used to anyway. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarAccept You should talk to Ainethach if you have business with the mine. Not that there's much these days. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarAccept Forsworn attacks are bad enough, but those sellswords are worse. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarBribe That I will, stranger. This is more than the Silver-Bloods are paying us. We'll clear out. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarBribe Don't think I'm being paid already? Get lost. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarForgetIt Milk drinker. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarPersuade Dealing with a mob wouldn't be good for my coin purse. Fine. We're leaving. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarPersuade Let's see them make us. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarReject Right. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarSoldTopic Good work. Here's your cut. I guess this finishes up our contract with the Silver-Bloods, so we'll be heading out. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarStage10BranchTopic Forsworn attacked a while back. Jarl had no men to spare, so the Silver-Bloods generously offered to send us to clean things up. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarStage10BranchTopic We just want that old native to hand over his land in payment for our services. Then we'll leave, and everyone can get back to work. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarThonarBranchTopic You haven't heard of the Silver-Blood family? They're the most important people in the Reach. FreeformKarthwastenAAtarThonarBranchTopic They practically own the city of Markarth. And we're here on their coin. FreeformKarthwastenAGetLostBranchTopic Helping out Ainethach, huh? Give me a reason not to plunge a dagger in your chest. FreeformKarthwastenAIntimidate Whoa. Wait a second. I was just kidding. We'll leave. We'll leave! FreeformKarthwastenAIntimidate I thought today was going to be boring. FreeformKarthwastenASellBranchTopic No. This is my land. You expect me to just hand it over to those Silver-Blood thugs? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Robbery is what it is. The Silver-Bloods are trying to muscle in on my land. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Forsworn attack the mines, and suddenly all these sellswords show up to "help." They won't let anyone work until I sell it off. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic The Silver-Bloods have made you a very generous offer for this pile of dirt. I suggest you take it. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Oh, and when would that be, I wonder? When I sell my land to the Silver-Bloods? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Watch your tongue, native. We'll leave when we're sure there's no Forsworn here. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I want you sellswords out of my mine. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I have plenty of room in my bed. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Of course. I rented a bed there. Where else would I sleep? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic So, Tythis... you coming by the Bunkhouse later? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Tell you what... if you still feel unsure, come by the temple sometime and we'll talk about it. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Sigh. Yes, as usual. I'll be there. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Did... did I say you weren't smart? I meant to say that I'm not smart, Lash. I'm just not smart enough to answer your questions. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Will we be dining together this evening after my work at the fishery? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Is that so? I'll remember that next time we're in the mine tunnels... alone. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Oh! Bolli... yes, hello. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You wouldn't understand, Lash. Your people aren't smart enough for politics. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Nivenor, my darling. What a pleasant surprise. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Why do your people claim the Reach is theirs? The Orcs have been in these lands just as long. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic When I got close, the mercenaries Aringoth hired to protect the estate just waved me off. I don't think he wants visitors anymore. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic What I meant to say was... I love having an Orc here in the barracks. They're so... pleasant. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Why didn't you then? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic If you want me to leave, you could challenge me to a fight. I promise to stop once you've lost an arm. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Bountiful. Although I would like to have anchored a bit closer to Goldenglow Estate. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I don't like bunking with Orcs. It's not... clean. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Hello Bolli. How's the fishing? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I'm warning you. Those people are killers. You'd never last a day with them. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Good. You could be our first line of defense since you live outside the city walls, so we're depending on you. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Maybe I will. What do you think about that? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Yes, Lady Mjoll. If Riften gets attacked, we'll retreat inside the city gates and bar the door just like you said. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You're always talking about the Forsworn. You aren't thinking of joining them, are you? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I... I'm sorry, Belchimac. I didn't mean that. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Have you prepared the stables like I suggested, Shadr? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic If I see him, I'll make sure he doesn't do anything brash. Don't worry. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Nothing, Ragnar. Please... don't hurt me. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic It's Bersi. He's getting so angry about the corruption in Riften, he said he's going to walk right up to Maven and give her a piece of his mind. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic What did you say? You lazy coward, I'll cut your throat. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic What is it, Drifa? What's the matter? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Damn Nords. Always getting in the way of us honest folk. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Mjoll! I'm glad I found you. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Oh. I'm sorry. Well, it's good to have you here, anyway. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I hope that doesn't mean things are going to get worse around here. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I asked what you thought of the Orcs, not about me. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I've heard. Bolli and Keerava were speaking of it just a little while ago. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Cunning warriors and skilled workers. It's good to have you here, Lash. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Tell me, Ragnar, what do you think of the Orcs? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Marise, I've come to warn you that the Thieves Guild has been harassing shopkeepers again. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I can afford to buy meat now. I prefer working in the mines, anyway. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic No, no... not at all. Mara believes that the spark of a union comes from inside us, not from our appearance. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I haven't seen you hunting in a while. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I don't know. Whenever those Silver-Blood men decide to leave. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic When will Sanuarach Mine be open? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I'd be honored, but I have work to do in the mines. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Your arms and legs are fit for catching strong, agile prey. I could use your help. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You want me to hunt with you? I thought you preferred being alone. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I've been thinking, would you like to join me in hunting? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Of course she will. She's our daughter, after all. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You're right. She'll be a great Sybil, won't she? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic No... no, we did the right thing. The temple will take good care of her, and one day she'll be helping all of Skyrim. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Truth is, we are in no danger whatsoever. Killing an Emperor can be useful, but befriending one? Now that's beneficial - as I'm sure you'd all agree. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Enmon, dear, do you have any regrets? About letting her go? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic So am I. I hope she's happy at the temple. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You mean the wedding? My cousin's apparent murder? An unfortunate misunderstanding, no more. Cold mead, hot tempers... these things happen. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I miss her, too, but I'm glad she's safe. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Yes, an unfortunate turn of events, that. But an isolated incident. And I have been assured that the fault was with the man's son alone. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Oh, I'm fine, Enmon. I just... I still miss her. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Quite. Yet that recent business with the young officer. Maro, was it? How dreadful. The son of your commander, plotting your assassination. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Are you all right, dear? I thought I saw a tear in your eye a moment ago. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic The house is so... empty, Enmon... and quiet. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Are you all right, dear? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You keep saying that. What if she's gone forever? What if they've done something to her? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I don't know. The guards are out looking for her, now. They'll be back soon. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic But why did they take her? What could they want with our little girl? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Oh, they'll find some way to send us there. It'll be just my luck. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Only criminals get sent to Cidhna Mine. They're not going to send us there. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic We're doomed. The mine is going to stay closed, and we'll up be carted of to Cidhna Mine as slaves. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Never. They've shut us down forever, Enmon. The Divines have abandoned us. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic When are those Silver-Blood men going to leave? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Don't say words you don't mean. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Um... thank you, Lash. You'd... make a fine Nord? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You have strong arms. You'd make a good Orc. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Razelan. What are you doing? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I propose a toast to Elenwen! Our mistress! FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I speak figuratively, of course. Nothing could be more unlikely than that someone would actually want her in their bed. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Although... most of you are already in bed with her! But again... I speak figuratively, of course! FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Attention, everyone! Could I have your attention, please! I have an announcement to make! FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Someone bring me a drink, quick! FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Wouldn't want to offend our Thalmor overlords, would we? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Fine, fine. Get your hands off me. I'll be a good boy now. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic There's someone I like very much in Riften. I think I'd like to marry him someday, but... well, he's not of my kind. Would Mara be angry? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Feel free to ask me anything you like. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Dinya? I was reading that missive you gave me and I was wondering something about marriage. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You know I can't tell you that. As soon as I do, and you have a few meads in you, everyone will know. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Of course. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Say, how are you going to sell all those fish before they spoil? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Sounds good. May I owe you for them? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I have two more bushels for you, Marise. That should keep you well-stocked. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Shadr, that's so sweet... I'd love to. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Naw... he's fine. Look, I wanted to ask if you'll... um, if you'd like to... well, like to have a drink with me at the Bee and Barb sometime? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I'm well. How are things over at the stables? Old Hofgrir giving you a hard time? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Hi, Marise. How are you today? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I don't know. All we can do is hope the Eight will favor us and have these creatures stay far away from Riften. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Do you... do you think that could happen here? I mean, could a dragon come here and burn the city down? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Yes, I heard. I think all of Skyrim knows by know. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Brand-Shei, did you hear about Helgen? It's... it's gone! A dragon burned it to the ground! FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I'll see what I can do. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic That's fine. I have a special occasion coming up, and I'd like to have it. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic The Argonian sugar-cane wine? It's pretty hard to get around here. Very expensive. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Brand-Shei, do you think you can find me some theilul? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Maven, I... please, don't hurt me. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Turning him in to the guards? Have you joined Mjoll as official peacekeepers of Riften? You cost me a lot of coin. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Maven, please. I didn't know it was your man. Had I known, I would have looked the other way, I swear. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I don't like being made a fool of, Brand-Shei. Not one bit. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Just when you think things couldn't get any worse. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic One of them came in and demanded payment. Bolli tried to tell them no; stood up to them, but... FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Did something happen at the Pawned Prawn? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I've come to warn you that the Thieves Guild seems to be back to its old tricks again. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Why in goodness name would you have... oh never mind, just bring them by my house later and I'll see what I can do. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Horker skin, actually. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Leather? If they're armored, you should talk to Balimund over at The Scorched Hammer. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Grelka, can you repair boots? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Oh come off it, Niv. We both know you married that fisherman for his gold. You don't need to put on an act for my benefit. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic What's that supposed to mean? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic If he paid what he owes, I wouldn't have to say anything. Besides, what in Oblivion do you care? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic What's this nonsense I've been hearing? How dare you call Bolli a deadbeat! FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic It's a religious thing. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Try it out? What would you need a leather harness for anyway? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Oh, good. I wanted to try that out as soon as possible. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Oh, Haelga... there you are. Your special order from Hammerfell came in off the last Khajiit caravan. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Oh I get it. "It's missing so Grelka must have it." I wish this town would stop pointing their fingers at me. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic There is a Thieves Guild in town you know. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Well, we had one go missing from the Pawned Prawn, and I was just wondering... FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Not lately. Why? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Grelka, have you had anyone come by and try to sell you an iron war axe? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Religion isn't going to save me. So unless Mara is going to start raining coin from the heavens, why don't you mind your own business. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You poor thing. You should come by the temple, speak to Maramal. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic What's so good about it? I've got deadbeats who don't pay me, the city guard looking over my shoulder and Maven Black-Briar breathing down my neck. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Good day, Grelka. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Looking for work? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic By the gods! The Gourmet has killed the Emperor! Attack! FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic By the gods! The Gourmet and the chef have poisoned the Emperor! Get them! FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic (Laughing.) FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic (Laughing.) FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic (Laughing.) FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Ah, the Potage le Magnifique. So delicious. My friends, as Emperor, I of course reserve the right of first taste. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Aha! Here we are. Honored guests, I present to you - the Gourmet! FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Here we are. Gods, I'm nervous. We'll go in in just a moment. Please, I'll serve. You just stand there and... be amazing. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic But aren't even you the least bit nervous? After everything that's happened? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Kill him. And make sure there's nothing left to bury. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Kill her. And make sure there's nothing left to bury. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Your Sanctuary's being put to the sword right now. That's what I think of this "deal." You killed my son! All of you! And now you'll pay the price. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic But you know what? I've changed my mind. How about this? I kill you, and butcher each and every one of your miserable little friends? FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic I get you, and the Dark Brotherhood gets to continue its existence. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic Surprised? So was I, when a member of your "Family" came to me with the plan. We worked out a deal, you see. An exchange. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic You, an assassin for the Dark Brotherhood, have just made an attempt on the Emperor's life. Would have succeeded, had it been the real man. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic That man was, by far, the most insufferable decoy the Emperor has ever employed. I'm glad he's dead. Ah, but I'm even happier that you killed him. FreeformKarthwastenAStage10BranchTopic (Clapping.) FreeformKarthwastenAThonarBranchTopic A family of thieves. Running their corrupt empire from Markarth. FreeformKarthwastenAThonarBranchTopic The Silver-Blood family own half the Reach, and they won't stop until they own all of it. FreeformKolskeggrAQuestEndTopic You drove them off? By yourself? FreeformKolskeggrAQuestEndTopic Thank you! We'll head back to work, right away. Take this, it's the least I can do. FreeformKynesgroveAAccept If you want to go to the trouble, feel free. I suppose I could offer you a bit of free Alteration training when you get back. FreeformKynesgroveAQuestReturnTopic Well, well, you actually did what you said you were going to do. I'm impressed. FreeformKynesgroveAQuestReturnTopic Here, let me teach you a thing or two about Alteration magic. It's the least I can do. FreeformKynesgroveAQuestTopic Nosy one, huh? I was a mage back in Morrowind. I lend my talents to the mines here, helping them keep the tunnels safe. FreeformKynesgroveAQuestTopic By Azura, it gets hot in there. I use Frost Salts for a potion to keep the heat bearable, but I'm out. FreeformKynesgroveAQuestTopic Yes. I'm sure he's doing well there. FreeformKynesgroveAQuestTopic Last time you said he was fighting for the Empire. FreeformKynesgroveAQuestTopic He's off fighting the war, dear. For the Stormcloaks. FreeformKynesgroveAQuestTopic Mama, where did papa go? FreeformKynesgroveAQuestTopic I did. Those mead stains are always tricky. FreeformKynesgroveAQuestTopic Did you clean the linens, yet? FreeformKynesgroveAReject It's not any of your bother, so I don't see what you're apologizing for. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Comes with living to a ripe old age, people start thinking there's something magical about you. Then, the insults. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Still, a little knowledge of plants and potions can get you by. Not that anyone likes to admit buying things from you. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic See? I even have a little potion for the Steward. Mind handing it over to him? Just say it should solve that problem he has. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic We will now see how you learn a completely new Shout. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic I see that you have already begun to learn the Whirlwind Sprint Shout. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Master Borri will teach you "Wuld," which means "Whirlwind." FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Master Borri will teach you "Nah" - "Fury" - the second word of Whirlwind Sprint. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Master Borri will teach you "Kest" - "Tempest"- the third word of Whirlwind Sprint. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Master Wulfgar will now gift you with his knowledge of "Dah." FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic With all three words together, this Shout is much more powerful. Use it wisely. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic You are ready to learn the final word of Unrelenting Force, "Dah," which means "Push." FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic You worry too much, brother. Victory will be ours. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic The battle below goes ill. If Alduin does not rise to our challenge, I fear all may be lost. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic What else is there? FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Have you no thought beyond the blooding of your blade? FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Hakon! A glorious day, is it not! FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic This library used to be filled with arcane volumes. Now look at it; almost everything's been burned. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic I hope the tome we need is still intact. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic For Skyrim! FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Daar sul thur se Alduin vokrii. Today Alduin's lordship will be restored. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic But I honor your courage. Krif voth ahkrin. Die now, in vain. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic You're probably right. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic I wouldn't worry about that. He's a good elf. I trust him. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic I'm just worried about what he's teaching her. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic She hardly mentions anything else. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Sondas, does Hrefna ever mention Meieran to you? FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Well, I'll try to be a good influence, then. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Well, I know she thinks the world of you. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Oh, it's no trouble. She's a smart little girl. Might talk your ear off, but she's fun. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Thanks for looking after Hrefna. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic You should. I miss you. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic I guess I should join you more often. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Not when there's so much to see! FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Ever think about spending more time around town? FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic No need to get snippy. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic So you can be helpful sometimes. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic It's at the south end near that loose rockpile. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Sweetheart, did you move my pickaxe? FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic I still do. I just like to have food waiting for me when I come home. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic You used to love finding new places. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic And I found a new deposit of amber. Would have been nice to have some help pulling it out. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic Verner, you should have come out with me yesterday. I found the most amazing tree growing right out of a cave. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic01 Thank you. FreeformMarkarthJBothelaTopic02 Pity. FreeformMarkarthJStewardTopic Oh... yes... um... thank you. Here you go. Some gold for your assistance and your, discretion. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic Books. Don't know why the Imperials like these so much. This should help the boy, though, Malacath willing. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic Here, let me show you how an Orc learns to smith. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic I served in the Legion. Perhaps I'll show you some of their technique one of these days. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic I won't be married to some weak-willed Orc chieften. I'd sooner join the Legion. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic You'll come of age soon. Time to be married to another chief. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic Yes, mother. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic Imagine the heads of your enemies as you forge. Let your hatred work the steel. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic Sorry, mother. I'll focus on my work. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic Save your anger for the forge. The steel cannot hear your whining. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic The metal has been stubborn today. It refuses to bend. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic No, mother. It's no wonder our enemies fear the sight of an Orc warrior. FreeformMarkarthLGhorzaReturnTopic Ah, is there any weapon finer than an Orc blade? FreeformMarkarthMOndolemarReturnTopic Ah, there we have it. This will be all I need to have Ogmund taken care of. FreeformMarkarthMOndolemarReturnTopic I would like to personally thank you on behalf of myself and the Thalmor for your assistance. Here, for your work. FreeformMarkarthNMothReturnTopic Good. I'd prefer using water to cool my metal, but it's what the Jarl wants. FreeformMarkarthNMothReturnTopic Here. Some of my best armor. Wear it well. FreeformMarkarthOCalcelmoReturnTopic You have my gratitude. That spider had been interfering with my excavations for months. FreeformMarkarthOCalcelmoReturnTopic As promised, here's the key to the Dwemer Museum. Mind the displays. Some of them are quite fragile. FreeformMorthalABlackmail Is that so? FreeformMorthalABlackmail I should have expected as much. Fine, I shall give you 200 gold, and you shall leave me in peace. FreeformMorthalABlackmail Now go, leave me to my work. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic What I am doing is none of your business! FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic Why are you here? Did you follow me? FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic I demand that you leave at once and never speak of this again. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic Well, your ill fortune means I have no mother. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic Nothing! I... it's ill fortune. That's all. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic About how the Divines cursed you. What horrible thing did you do to deserve it? FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic What are you talking about? FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic They're not my aunts. They're your aunts. And they told me enough. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic I don't know what your aunts told you, but... FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic Shhh! FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic Leave me alone. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic I'm trying to pay attention. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic After I've finished showing you the grounds, we can talk. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic Welcome to the College. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic How do you think we should spend the remainder of our classroom time? FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic If you have any further questions, can you please hold them until I've finished? FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic Greetings. Welcome to the College of Winterhold. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic If it's true, and you do have the Voice, would you mind showing me? I've never seen it first-hand. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic Much knowledge lies within the College's walls. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic The College is an asset to Skyrim, even if it goes unnoticed or unappreciated. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic Winterhold's glory days may lie behind it, but the College lives on. FreeformMorthalAFalionInitialBranchTopic No matter what, the College will endure. FreeformMorthalAFollowUpA It is none of your concern, I assure you. Just... Forget that you ever saw me here. FreeformMorthalAFollowUpB I am under no obligation to tell you anything. Now, leave me at once and never mention that you saw me. FreeformMorthalAInitAgree Thank you. I will not forget this. FreeformMorthalAJarlBranchTopic Ah, Falion. Always looking where he shouldn't for things he doesn't need. FreeformMorthalAJarlBranchTopic What has he done now? FreeformMorthalAJarlBranchTopic I've never trusted him... what has he done? FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse1 Ah, so it is not just dreams then. I have seen this. FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse1 I will see that it is dealt with. Thank you for bringing clarity. FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse1 Is that so? Well, I'll make sure that's taken care of immediately. FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse1 It's good that you brought this to my attention. FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse1 That's not fair, now. FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse1 Yatul and I do all the hunting. Mul and Gadba do all the mining. It seems like all you do is find more wives to get killed. FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse1 Haven't I always been a good father? A good chief? FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse1 I... I'm sorry. FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse2 I see. If something does happen, you know where I am. FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse2 Either this is some kind of a joke, or you're keeping something from me. FreeformMorthalAJarlResponse2 Whichever it is, I don't like it. FreeformMorthalBAccept Thank you. Please, do not open it. It is... private. FreeformMorthalBAccept Remember, this is where they recorded all they knew of Alduin and his return. FreeformMorthalBAccept Yeah... sure. You, too, Delphine. You be safe. FreeformMorthalBAccept Take care of yourself, Orgnar. Goodbye. FreeformMorthalBAccept Well, now. That's something to think about. FreeformMorthalBAccept Orgnar, this is it. The inn is yours. I'm probably never coming back here. FreeformMorthalBGormInitFollowUp She's so lost in her visions, and it's only getting worse. FreeformMorthalBGormInitFollowUp I've looked after her safety for so long... FreeformMorthalBGormInitFollowUp If she can't tell what's real and what's not, how will she continue to lead Hjaalmarch? FreeformMorthalBGormInitResponse1 Yes, I suppose there is. FreeformMorthalBGormInitResponse1 There is a letter, one I have had for some time now. I think it is time it gets delivered. FreeformMorthalBGormInitResponse1 I cannot leave Idgrod's side, so I must stay here. Could you see that it reaches Captain Aldis in Solitude? FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic There's a... A problem, yes. FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic I'm worried about Idgrod, and I don't know what to do. FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic Yes, but... not so loud! FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic Will you take it to Captain Aldis? FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic I... Yes, I understand. FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic It stops at once, or else there will be consequences of an unpleasant nature. Do you understand? FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic It doesn't happen again, or else I'll have you thrown in jail. Clear? FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic You've been exploring places you shouldn't, and you know it. FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic I don't even want to know what it is you've been doing. FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic What is the meaning of this? FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic Falion, I am disappointed. FreeformMorthalBInitialBranchTopic I'm told that you're up to something out in the marsh, Falion. FreeformMorthalBReject I understand. FreeformMorthalBValdBranchTopic For me? From whom? FreeformMorthalBValdFollowUp1 Well now, that is something. Hand it over, please. FreeformMorthalBValdReadNote Oh, no. I hadn't heard from Gorm for a while, so I'd hoped he'd given up on his little scheme. FreeformMorthalBValdReadNote The last time we'd discussed this issue was before this damnable war broke out. Things were different then. FreeformMorthalBValdReadNote Now, what's he's asking, it's just impossible. Even if it worked, the questions and accusations it would cause... FreeformMorthalBValdReadNote Well, I'll take it under advisement. Thank you. FreeformOldHroldanBAccept I long to taste battle again. FreeformOldHroldanBEydisGhostBranchTopic Hjalti? I've never heard of anyone named Hjalti. Tiber Septim had many names. Maybe that's one of them? FreeformOldHroldanBEydisScreamingBranchTopic There's a... ghost. Just wandering around my inn like it owned the place. FreeformOldHroldanBEydisScreamingBranchTopic Yes. I've heard stories that Old Hroldan was haunted, but no ones seen a ghost here since the Great War. FreeformOldHroldanBEydisScreamingBranchTopic He's from the battle, I just know it. He's one of Tiber Septim's soldiers... back from the dead. FreeformOldHroldanBEydisScreamingBranchTopic (screams) FreeformOldHroldanBEydisSwordBranchTopic A sword? I remember a legend that Tiber Septim had attacked one of the enemy camps before he came to Old Hroldan. It could be there. FreeformOldHroldanBEydisSwordBranchTopic I'll mark it down on your map. FreeformOldHroldanBGhostWhereTopic You don't remember me, Hjalti? Two campaigns we served together. You saved my life time and time again. FreeformOldHroldanBHjaltiBranchTopic You promised me, Hjalti. You promised that when we sacked Hroldan, you would make me your sworn brother. FreeformOldHroldanBHjaltiBranchTopic And I've waited. Even after the enemies' arrows dug into my chest and their hammers crushed my bones. I've waited. FreeformOldHroldanBHjaltiBranchTopic Give me your sword, Hjalti. That we may become brothers as you promised. FreeformOldHroldanBReject I cannot go into battle without a sword, Hjalti. FreeformOldHroldanBSwordBranchTopic It's been an honor to serve you, brother. FreeformOldHroldanBSwordBranchTopic Remembers our lessons from the sword masters of Alcaire? Let me show you a few things you may have forgotten before we leave Hroldan. FreeformRiften03IndarynBranchTopic Aye, I suspected as much but I've never been able to catch that little sneak with proof. FreeformRiften03IndarynBranchTopic01 That fetcher! I gave him the same keg just this morning and told him to store it in the cellars. FreeformRiften03IndarynBranchTopic01 Oh, he'll rot in prison for this one I promise you. As soon as Maven finds out, it's all over for him. FreeformRiften03IndarynBranchTopic01 Here, take this as a bit of a reward for nabbing our little thief. FreeformRiften03TavernkeepBranchTopic All right, pipe down. You want the whole blessed place to hear you? FreeformRiften03TavernkeepBranchTopic The arrangement called for a trade. I hope you'll find this suitable. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Mara only helps those who can afford her tithes. This is nonsense. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Oh, how kind! Thank you. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Excellent, I needed some more kindling for my kitchen hearth. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Whatever you're peddling, I'm not buying. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Are you serious? You're as crazy as Maramal. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Look, the only religion I believe in is the good old septim. Everything else is just a waste. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Ugh. Get this awful paper away from me, by Talos! FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Oh, a new pamphlet from Dinya? I'll be glad to read it. Thanks. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Huh? Oh. Sure, whatever. I prefer Dibella's teachings myself. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Thank you. Umm, blessings upon you too. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic I wouldn't even clean my tail with this trash. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Unless Mara wishes to come down and help me with these urchins, I don't really give a damn about her blessings. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Thank you. I'll share this with Aerin. FreeformRiften05PamphletBranchFemaleTopic Hmmm. Never read anything from the temple before. I suppose there wouldn't be any harm in reading it. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic What's this nonsense? Bah. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic I'll read it. Thank you. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic I don't have time for this nonsense. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Seems like a noble cause, I'll look it over. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic If only more people would read this, things might be better in Riften. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic I don't understand how paper will help the dregs of this city, but suit yourself. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Do you take me for a fool? Get this drivel away from me! FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Thank you. Blessings of Mara upon you as well. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Interesting. I'll look it over. Thanks. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic I hold my own beliefs, but thanks anyway. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Mara this and Mara that. Where is she when hundreds of Stormcloaks are dying for no good reason, eh? FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Not really my usual read, but I'll give it a try. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Mara can't help me. No one can. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Oh, interesting. I'll read it this evening. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic I have no desire to seek religion. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic I visit the temple sometimes, but perhaps not often enough. Thanks for bringing this to me. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Thank you for the blessing, I'll put this to good use. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Oh, well thank you. I'll try and read this if I can. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Are you out of your mind? FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic I think I have some more of these padding my mattress. FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic I have no time for Marla or Mara or whatever her name is... there's work to be done! FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic Had only Mara saved that poor animal... FreeformRiften05PamphletbranchTopic I'll give it a try, thanks very much. FreeformRiften09MjollOutroBranchTopic When you told me of your intent to join the Thieves Guild, I honestly didn't think we'd have much to speak about ever again. FreeformRiften09MjollOutroBranchTopic Yet here you are with my weapon that you could have easily sold or kept for yourself. FreeformRiften09MjollOutroBranchTopic Forgive me for my hasty opinion of you, I see that I was wrong and that there's much I can learn from you. FreeformRiften09MjollOutroBranchTopic If you'd permit me, I'd be honored to accompany you in your travels for a time. FreeformRiften09MjollOutroBranchTopic Astonishing. To think you actually were able to reach it and yet return to tell the tale. FreeformRiften09MjollOutroBranchTopic Rarely in my travels have I encountered those who possess skills equal to your own. FreeformRiften09MjollOutroBranchTopic I see I still have much to learn. If you'd permit me, I'd be honored to accompany you in your travels for a time. FreeformRiverwood01CamillaFaendalsLetter02BranchTopic He what? What are you talking about? FreeformRiverwood01CamillaFaendalsLetter02BranchTopic Why that jealous idiot. Thought he could just manipulate me into never seeing Sven again? FreeformRiverwood01CamillaFaendalsLetter02BranchTopic Thank you for telling me the truth. You should speak to Sven. I'm sure he'll want to thank you, too, for defending his name. FreeformRiverwood01CamillaFaendalsLetterBranchTopic Another poem, I'll bet. He does know how to make a girl blush. FreeformRiverwood01CamillaFaendalsLetterBranchTopic What's this? If that oaf thinks all I'm going to do is stay in that filthy house of his and clean, I'll.... FreeformRiverwood01CamillaFaendalsLetterBranchTopic You can tell Sven that he already has a mother. I'm not speaking to him anymore. FreeformRiverwood01CamillaSvensLetter02BranchTopic Thank you for telling me the truth. Could you talk to Faendal, as well? I'm sure he'll want to thank you for standing up for him. FreeformRiverwood01CamillaSvensLetter02BranchTopic What are you talking about? What's in the letter? FreeformRiverwood01CamillaSvensLetter02BranchTopic Oh my. He... he wanted me to think Faendal wrote this? FreeformRiverwood01CamillaSvensLetterBranchTopic From Faendal? That's strange. He's never written to me before. FreeformRiverwood01CamillaSvensLetterBranchTopic What, what is this? Is this what he really thinks about me? FreeformRiverwood01CamillaSvensLetterBranchTopic Well, you can tell that... that long-eared ass not to come around the store anymore. He's not welcome. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic He's a bard, so he says. Occasionally he finds time to do his job here at the mill. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic Thinks his ballads and sonnets are going to convince Camilla Valerius to marry him. As if she would say "yes." FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic An intelligent, beautiful woman like her wouldn't fall for that nonsense... I hope. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic Yeah! FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic Damn right! FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic Yeah! FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic But Housecarl... how can we fight a dragon? FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic But we are honorbound to fight it, even if we fail. This dragon is threatening our homes... our families. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic Now what do you say? Shall we go kill us a dragon? FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic That's a fair question. None of us have ever seen a dragon before, or expected to face one in battle. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic I don't much care where it came from or who sent it. What I do know is that it's made the mistake of attacking Whiterun! FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic You heard right! I said a dragon! FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic A dragon is attacking the Western Watchtower. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalIntroBranchTopic Here's the situation. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalInvisibleTopic Could you... could you give her this letter, and say it's from Sven? I think I've matched that Nord's lack of cleverness perfectly. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalRewardBranchTopic I appreciate your help. Please, take this. Some gold I've saved up from working at the mill. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalTellBranchTopic What is that blowhard up to now? FreeformRiverwood01FaendalTellBranchTopic So, he thinks he can turn Camilla against me? Two can play at this. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalTellBranchTopic Here. Give this letter to Camilla and tell her it's from Sven. Let's see what she thinks of him after reading that. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalTopic01 I've been thinking... maybe Camilla needs a little help seeing Sven for what he is. FreeformRiverwood01FaendalTopic02 I don't need your jokes right now, but maybe you have a point. Maybe Camilla needs some help seeing Sven for what he is. FreeformRiverwood01SvenIntroBranchTopic Camilla Valerius knows I'm the best man in Riverwood. That elf is kidding himself if he thinks she would choose him over me. FreeformRiverwood01SvenIntroBranchTopic I've seen him sneaking over to the Riverwood Trader to speak with her when I'm not around. He's wasting his time. FreeformRiverwood01SvenRewardBranchTopic Now that's what I like to hear. Good work. I think you deserve some gold from my tips at the inn. FreeformRiverwood01SvenShared You may be right. Camilla may see Faendal as little more than a friend, but why take chances? FreeformRiverwood01SvenShared Here. Give Camilla this letter. It's full of venomous nonsense. Tell her it's from Faendal. FreeformRiverwood01SvenTellBranchTopic What is this? The elf playing at treachery? Shocking. FreeformRiverwood01SvenTellBranchTopic As if I would write this dribble. How about we play a bit of turnabout with Faendal? FreeformRiverwood01SvenTellBranchTopic Here. I had to use simple words, but this letter should convince Camilla it's from him. FreeformRiverwood01SvenTopic02 Is that sarcasm? I've heard better wisecracks from Orgnar. FreeformRiverwood01SvenTopic02 Still, you have a point. Camilla letting Faendal visit her isn't a good thing for me. FreeformRiverwood01SvenTopic02 Here, let me give you a particularly venomous letter. Say it's from Faendal. That should get Camilla to stop inviting the elf over. FreeformSalviusFarmALeonitusTopic What's this? FreeformSalviusFarmALeonitusTopic I guess some things never change. Thanks for bringing this to me. Here, for your trouble. FreeformSalviusFarmARogatusNO Typical. Well don't mind me, then. FreeformSalviusFarmARogatusYES Good. You make sure the lug tips you when he gets it. FreeformSalviusFarmARogtausTopic That's right. Old inn to the south. The oaf doesn't even bother to visit these days. What am I supposed to do if the dragons burn down the farm? FreeformSalviusFarmARogtausTopic You're a traveler, right? I have this letter for him. Let him know how much of a failure he is. FreeformSalviusFarmARogtausTopic They'll be gone as soon as they've found whoever they're looking for. And we'll have all the more coin. FreeformSalviusFarmARogtausTopic Keep it to yourself. They're not paying us to talk. FreeformSalviusFarmARogtausTopic I'm not sure I like these Alik'r warriors hiding out here. They seem like trouble. FreeformShipsDawnstarAccept Sailors are what happened to them. They got drunk and ended up losing the merchandise in some cave. FreeformShipsDawnstarAccept If you're not afraid of little exploring, I'll pay good gold to get those salts. FreeformShipsDawnstarQuestReturnTopic That's the first bit of good news I've had since I set sail a year ago. FreeformShipsDawnstarQuestReturnTopic Here's your cut. FreeformShipsDawnstarQuestTopic By inheritance, as my men are fond of saying. Can't blame them, my mother ran the Sea Squall as strictly as she ran the house. FreeformShipsDawnstarQuestTopic I've been trying to find new areas of business, trying to win the sailors' respect, but I keep having problems. FreeformShipsDawnstarQuestTopic Take the last trade we did. Some Fine-Cut Void Salts from the College of Winterhold. Plenty of coin if you know who to sell it to. FreeformShipsDawnstarReject Your choice, friend. FreeformShipsWindhelmAccept That's the spirit. FreeformShipsWindhelmQindhelmReturnTopic Fine work. Here's your pay. Don't spend it all on mead. FreeformShipsWindhelmQuestTopic The North Wind is my mistress, and I'm her master. I don't tolerate any disloyalty. FreeformShipsWindhelmQuestTopic You looking for work? Got a sailor who thought running a gang of thieves would be more money than hauling my cargo. FreeformShipsWindhelmQuestTopic You make an example of that gang, I'll give you a year's worth of pay. FreeformShipsWindhelmReject Coward. FreeformSkyHavenTempleADelphineFollowerTopic01 Very well. I'll do the oath later. Let's just get 'em geared up and ready to fight. FreeformSkyHavenTempleADelphineFollowerTopic01 Very well. He seems like a fighter to me. I'll give him the oath. FreeformSkyHavenTempleADelphineFollowerTopic01 Very well. She seems like a fighter to me. I'll give her the oath. FreeformSkyHavenTempleADelphineStart02 Thanks. FreeformSkyHavenTempleADelphineStartTopic The Thalmor hunted us down, remember? It wasn't exactly great for recruitment. FreeformSkyHavenTempleADelphineStartTopic But we have a headquarters of a sort now. We'll rebuild the Blades. Someday. FreeformSkyHavenTempleADelphineStartTopic01 If you find anyone you think would make a good recruit, I can certainly take a look at them. FreeformSkyHavenTempleADelphineStartTopic01 Remember, though, being a Blade is a lifelong commitment. Their loyalty has to be with us once they're in. FreeformSkyHavenTempleAFollowerTopic Are you sure? I'll need to ask them to take an oath to leave their old life behind and stay here from now on. FreeformSkyHavenTempleAFollowerTopic You want this one to become a Blade? You're sure? FreeformSkyHavenTempleAInductTopic02 Right then. FreeformSkyHavenTempleAInvisible If you find any more candidates bring them here. FreeformSkyHavenTempleAInvisible I can handle training one more. After that, I think we'll be ready for a little dragon hunting of our own. FreeformSkyHavenTempleAInvisible That's enough recruits for now. Ask Esbern about the dragon lairs he's been studying. We'll have the recruits do some hunting with you. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBAccept Good luck, Dragonborn. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBEsbernGiveTopic I am. The Blades of the 2nd Era hunted down many dragons in their day, and they have records of where the beasts lived. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBEsbernGiveTopic Only you can truly defeat these monsters, Dragonborn, but you do not have to do so alone. The Blades can help you. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBEsbernGiveTopic Just ask whenever you're ready to take on a dragon. We will send the Blades to help you fulfill your destiny. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBEsbernGiveTopic It's quiet for now, Dragonborn. Perhaps later we'll find where one of those serpents is hiding. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBEsbernHuntTopic I have. One of the old Akaviri records names a dragon living nearby. Shall we send the Blades to help you? FreeformSkyHavenTempleBEsbernReturnTopic It's good to see the Blades fighting alongside the Dragonborn once again. To think we're treading in the footsteps of thousands of years past. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBEsbernReturnTopic While you're out hunting, keep a sharp eye open for any dragon scales and bones you might find. I'd be interested in looking at them. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBEsbernReturnTopic Good. The dragon's soul should be making you stronger. Come back another time, and we'll track down another one for you. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBEsbernReturnTopic We're with you, Dragonborn. FreeformSkyHavenTempleBReject Let me know when you are, then. FreeformSkyHavenTempleCEsbernBlessingTopic "May the scales of the dragonkind splinter at the touch of your arrows and crack under the weight of your sword." FreeformSkyHavenTempleCEsbernBlessingTopic That's all there is to it, Dragonborn. Good luck. FreeformSkyHavenTempleCEsbernTopic You're in luck. There is a blessing the Blades used on the eve of battle. It's supposed to prepare the mind for slaying dragons. FreeformSkyHavenTempleCEsbernTopic I doubt the blessing's effects last for very long, so ask whenever you're heading out, and I'll perform the proper rites. FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic Have you ever heard of the expression, "the scale of the Argonian that bit you?" FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic No, I guess not. Well, the principle applies here. It's a potion, made from those dragon parts. Give it a try. FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic What? Your heroic tale of locking yourself in the Ratway for years isn't enough? FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic Come now. You did more than just survive all those years. Your evasion of the Thalmor would be useful for future Blades to study. FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic "I survived"? FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic I've been chronicling the recent history of the Blades. What would you like your entry to say? FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic There's a difference? FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic Now, now my dear. I'm talking about academia, not politics. FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic Esbern, if the Empire could even acknowledge the Blades existence, we'd all have reason to celebrate. FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic I've been writing some notes about all the Akaviri designs we've discovered. If only the Imperial Library could see my research. FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic You're right. Sorry to bring it up. FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic The other Blades? No. Best not to think what the Thalmor do to their victims, my dear. FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic Do you ever think about them, Esbern? The others? FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic Well, I'm "not a scholar" of architecture. And that's that. FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic Nonsense. Is a child who learns to read "not a scholar" of literature? Is a smith's apprentice "not a scholar" of blacksmithing? FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic I'm not a scholar, Esbern. How many times do I have to tell you? FreeformSkyHavenTempleDEsbernTopic The architecture of this temple is marvelous. Have you ever seen stonework like this, Delphine? FreeformSoljundsSinkholeAClearedBranchTopic You did? We were waiting for the Jarl to send an entire regiment to clear that mine. FreeformSoljundsSinkholeAClearedBranchTopic Now we can get back to work. Thank you. FreeformSoljundsSinkholeAPerthBranchTopic Whoa, there. I don't know where you're going, but stay out of that mine. It isn't safe. FreeformSoljundsSinkholeAPerthChoice01 We tunneled into an old Nordic crypt. The whole place is crawling with draugr. FreeformSoljundsSinkholeAPerthChoice01 We're not mining up any ore with those undead around, so I wouldn't go down there if I were you. FreeformStonehillsABrylingBranchTopic Is everything all right? I've not heard from Sorli or Pactur in some time. FreeformStonehillsABrylingResponse1 That's good news. I was starting to fear something had happened. FreeformStonehillsABrylingResponse1 You have my thanks. FreeformStonehillsAPacturAgree You're doing me quite a favor. I won't forget it. FreeformStonehillsAPacturAgree I'm sure she'll be angry. Brace yourself. FreeformStonehillsAPacturInitResponse3 You could take word to her that there'll be a shipment soon. Buy us some time and keep her off our backs. FreeformStonehillsAPacturInitResponse3 In exchange, I'm willing to let a few ingots go missing. Maybe more than a few. FreeformStonehillsAPacturInitResponse4 Can't do that and keep an eye on things here at the same time. FreeformStonehillsAPacturInitResponse4 But... You could take word to her in Solitude, let her know it'll be coming soon. FreeformStonehillsAPacturInitResponse4 I'd make it worth your while. No one would notice a few missing ingots out of the next shipment. FreeformStonehillsAPacturReject Won't be 'some other time' at this rate. FreeformWindhelmANO Very well. FreeformWindhelmAQuestEndTopic Ah yes, the extract, good. Poisonous, of course, but it has its uses. FreeformWindhelmAQuestEndTopic I suppose you want something for your trouble? Here. FreeformWindhelmAQuestGiveTopic Everything you see is grown at my family's own Hollyfrost Farm. Fresh and filling. FreeformWindhelmAQuestGiveTopic I also do a little herb growing. The court wizard, Wuunferth, pays us to plant a little Nightshade. Who knows what he uses it for? FreeformWindhelmAQuestGiveTopic Hey, could you deliver this bottle of Nightshade Extract to Wuunferth? FreeformWindhelmAQuestGiveTopic But we haven't taken a side because it's not our fight. FreeformWindhelmAQuestGiveTopic Maybe we'll pay you a visit tonight, little spy. We got ways of finding out what you really are. FreeformWindhelmAQuestGiveTopic Imperial spies? You can't be serious! FreeformWindhelmAQuestGiveTopic Hey, maybe the reason these gray-skins don't help in the war is because they're Imperial spies! FreeformWindhelmAQuestGiveTopic You come here where you're not wanted, you eat our food, you pollute our city with your stink and you refuse to help the Stormcloaks. FreeformWindhelmAQuestGiveTopic You are worthy. The knowledge is yours. FreeformWindhelmAYES Thanks. FreeformWinterholdABirnaSellBranchTopic Fine, here you go. FreeformWinterholdABirnaSellBranchTopic You get killed on account of this thing, it's not my fault. Got it? FreeformWinterholdABirnaSellBranchTopic But, I suppose, if it does actually turn out to be worth something, let me know, will you? FreeformWinterholdABirnaSellBranchTopic Oh, I'd gladly sell it to you if you had the money. FreeformWinterholdABirnaSellBranchTopic But you don't, do you? FreeformWinterholdAInitialBranchTopic Yeah, it was stupid of me. FreeformWinterholdAInitialBranchTopic I shouldn't have believed the story and just refused the trade. But I didn't, and now I'm stuck with this worthless junk. FreeformWinterholdAInitialFinal I don't even care any more. You want to check it out? Fine. I'll sell you the thing for fifty gold, and then it's your problem. FreeformWinterholdAInitialFollowUp Some line about this claw thing and Yngol Barrow. He said it was worth more than its weight in gold if I took it back there. FreeformWinterholdAInitialFollowUp Something about placing it back in Yngol's chamber, I don't know. FreeformWinterholdAInitialFollowUp What was I thinking? Even if it were true, I'm not setting foot in some ancient tomb, filled with who knows what. FreeformWinterholdCDagurFavorBranchTopic It's about Ranmir. FreeformWinterholdCDagurFavorBranchTopic Oh, I'm so glad you changed your mind. FreeformWinterholdCDagurFavorBranchTopic It's about Ranmir. FreeformWinterholdCDagurQuestion01Topic I don't, I'm afraid. Ranmir didn't talk much about her after she'd left. FreeformWinterholdCDagurQuestion01Topic He seemed convinced that she'd run off with someone named Vex. That's all I remember. FreeformWinterholdCFavorFinal I'm not sure. I hoped that maybe if she could be found, if he had some sort of explanation, that maybe he could put himself back together. FreeformWinterholdCFavorFinal I'm in no position to go searching for her, but perhaps you could. FreeformWinterholdCFavorFollowUp01 Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with him being here all the time. He mostly keeps to himself, and so far he's been able to pay. FreeformWinterholdCFavorFollowUp01 I just hate to see what's happened to him. He hasn't always been like this, you know. Drunk, I mean. FreeformWinterholdCFavorResponse1 Oh, he was a different person. Happy, outgoing... Like anyone who's in love. FreeformWinterholdCFavorResponse2 Well, I'm getting to that. Just let me explain. FreeformWinterholdCFavorResponse3 See, Ranmir was involved with a pretty young woman named Isabelle Rolaine. The two of them were very happy together, I thought. FreeformWinterholdCFavorResponse3 One day, she just disappeared. Ranmir was convinced she'd run off with someone else, leaving him behind. FreeformWinterholdCFavorResponse3 He turned to drinking, and what's left of him is what you see here every day. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic Oh, no. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic Dagur's been talking at you, hasn't he? Gotten you roped into his little plan to fix Ranmir's life? FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic I'll tell you what I told him -- stay out of it. It's none of your business. Those aren't folks you want to get tangled up with. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic No there isn't. And I suggest you leave it at that. I don't want to see anyone get hurt over this. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic Does it look like I can afford losing a day's wage? That damn Orc isn't getting the best of me. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic Surprised to see you working. Mulush almost broke your arm yesterday. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic Our men know how to kill Forsworn and Legionnaires, not dragons. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic Killing dragons isn't defending the Reach? FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic We can't do that. Every soldier we send to hunt dragons is one more man that can't defend the Reach. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic I want soldiers sent to deal with these dragons. Every able-bodied man and woman who can carry a bow. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic Umm.... No, my Jarl. I'm afraid there isn't. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic The Forsworn ambush our roads and dragons cloud the skies. Is there any good news? FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic More settlements have sent riders to say dragons are being spotted throughout Skyrim. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic We will keep each other safe. No matter what. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic I just don't know if I can keep you safe. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic What kind of talk is this? The man I married would never speak of leaving his home. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic I wonder if we should finally leave Markarth. These dragon attacks, I think Skyrim is cursed. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic Ain't nothing for it. They're still in charge. FreeformWinterholdCHaranBranchTopic First war, and now dragons. Everywhere they go, the Nords bring nothing but ruin. FreeformWinterholdCInitialBranchTopic Well, not exactly. FreeformWinterholdCInitialBranchTopic Listen, we're friends, right? FreeformWinterholdCInitialBranchTopic I wondered if I could ask a favor of you. FreeformWinterholdCollegeAInitialBranchTopic Well, I suppose I could use a hand with something, yes. FreeformWinterholdCollegeAInitialBranchTopic Faralda's working on something, and I want to know what it is. FreeformWinterholdCollegeAInitialBranchTopic I want her notes. You think you could get them for me, without her knowing? FreeformWinterholdCollegeBBorvirBranchTopic Yes, I recognize it. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBBorvirBranchTopic Well, I suppose I needn't wonder where he is anymore. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBFinalBranchTopic Well, all of the previous Apprentices have been accounted for, thanks to you. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBFinalBranchTopic Here, why don't you take this. It was intended to be given to the best in their group as a reward for their hard work. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBFinalBranchTopic It's the least I can do for your help in putting this matter to rest. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBFinalBranchTopic Oh dear, I didn't mean to say it like that. That wasn't a joke, really. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBFollowUp As I recall, Yisra was trying to improve flame cloak spells to better work in Skyrim's harsh environment. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBFollowUp Ilas-tei was practicing Illusions spells. She was having trouble with the calm spells, I believe, but only ever worked with skeevers. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBFollowUp And then there's Borvir and Rundi. Twins, though they rarely agreed on anything. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBFollowUp Those two boys were obsessed with mead. Convinced they could concoct something to compete with Honningbrew. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBFollowUp Something about using frost magic to chill the mead for a certain period of time. I felt it was a waste, but the Arch-Mage let them proceed. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBIlasteiBranchTopic Oh dear. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBIlasteiBranchTopic I had particularly high hopes for her. Once she'd overcome her difficulties, she could have been quite successful here. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBInitResponse1 I'm not sure. None of them were working on anything terribly dangerous. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBResponse2 I hadn't really considered it in terms of time. I suppose it's been at least a month. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBResponse2 Let me think... what were they working on? FreeformWinterholdCollegeBRundiBranchTopic It certainly is. Was, I suppose. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBRundiBranchTopic He would never have willingly parted with it. What a shame. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBStage10BranchTopic None. It's been long enough that honestly, I don't expect to hear from them. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBStage10BranchTopic No, and after what you've discovered I fear the worst for them. FreeformWinterholdCollegeBYisraBranchTopic Gods, this is hers, isn't it? FreeformWinterholdCollegeBYisraBranchTopic She will certainly be missed. FreeformWinterholdCollegeInitialBranchTopic Ah, that. Yes, the group prior to yours has disappeared entirely. FreeformWinterholdCollegeInitialBranchTopic It's possible that there was less than the necessary amount of oversight. That's still being looked into. FreeformWinterholdCollegeInitialBranchTopic But we've had no contact with them for quite some time now. FreeformWinterholdCollegeInitialBranchTopic Arniel wondered if perhaps they'd somehow managed to get themselves lost in the Outer Realms, but I think that's giving them too much credit. FreeformWinterholdCRanmirLetter A what? FreeformWinterholdCRanmirLetter Don't you go pulling my leg. Give it here. FreeformWinterholdCRanmirStage10Topic What? FreeformWinterholdCRanmirStage10Topic Don't you... Don't you say that name to me. FreeformWinterholdCRanmirStage10Topic Don't you dare. Ever. FreeformWinterholdCRanmirStage20BranchTopic Huh? FreeformWinterholdCRanmirStage20BranchTopic Ha. Sure you did. Dagur put you up to this? FreeformWinterholdCRanmirStage20BranchTopic It don't matter now. None of it does. Just leave me be. FreeformWinterholdCRanmirStage30ViewTopic Unless it's gold for another round of drinks, I don't wanna hear it. FreeformWinterholdCRejected Ah. Well, some other time, perhaps. FreeformWinterholdCResponse2 Not him again. FreeformWinterholdCResponse2 He came nosing around Riften a while back, making a lot of noise about me. He was... persuaded to leave before he found me. FreeformWinterholdCResponse2 Funny, I'd have thought she would've gone back to him by now. FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranFollowUp One night Ranmir was in here like always, drinking himself to death. FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranFollowUp When I told him there was no more Honningbrew, that he'd drank it all, he got angry. FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranFollowUp He ranted at me, how I didn't know what he's been through, how Isabelle broke his heart when she ran off with some thief named Vex... FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranFollowUp He said he'd even gone to Riften to try and find the bastard. I think maybe he was hoping they'd just kill him, and that'd be the end of it. FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranFollowUp Dagur never heard any of this, and I chose to keep it to myself. I'm only telling you so you don't get into trouble. FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranFollowUp Riften and thieves means trouble. Just leave it alone. FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranResponse1 You'll wind up getting yourself killed. Dagur shouldn't have said a word about it. FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranResponse1 I love the man, bless his heart, but he doesn't know the whole story. FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranResponse2 Enough to know that it's not worth it. FreeformWinterholdCStage10HaranResponse2 Ranmir's a good boy, and he doesn't deserve what fate pushed his way, but there's only so far I'll go to risk my neck. FreeformWinterholdCVexBranchTopic Who's asking? FreeformWinterholdCVexResponse1 Well, ain't gonna find her here. Haven't seen her in a while. FreeformWinterholdCVexResponse3 She came through a while ago, wanted to know where she could get her hands on something valuable. Anything, really. FreeformWinterholdCVexResponse3 I told her it was a bad idea, that she wasn't cut out for what'd be necessary, but she wouldn't hear it. FreeformWinterholdCVexResponse3 So I gave her some advice, pointed her towards Hobs Fall Cave and that was that. FreeformWinterholdCVexStage20BranchTopic Like I told you, last time I saw her she was headed for Hobs Fall Cave. No idea what happened to her. FVDMavenBranchTopic Vald? Why would you want to help that idiot? FVDMavenBranchTopic He owes me a steep debt. In fact, he's lucky all I did was force him to work for Mercer. FVDMavenBranchTopic Do what he says, Vex. This isn't helpin' right now. FVDMavenBranchTopic Fine. We do it your way. For now. FVDMavenBranchTopic Let me see. FVDMavenBranchTopic01 A few years back, I commissioned a unique quill from a good friend of mine in Winterhold. FVDMavenBranchTopic01 Vald was tasked with getting it here safely and it ended up at the bottom of Lake Honrich. FVDMavenBranchTopic02 The wizards called it the Quill of Gemination and demanded a tremendous amount of gold to have it made. FVDMavenBranchTopic02 If you can locate the quill and return it to me, something Vald was too stupid to do himself, I'll consider the debt satisfied. FVDMavenLakeBranchTopic I had Vald meet the caravan from Winterhold on the western end of the lake so he could avoid the roads. FVDMavenLakeBranchTopic The idiot got lost in the mist and ran his boat right over some rocks, sending it straight to the bottom. FVDMavenLakeBranchTopic He's too stupid to remember where he was, and any attempt I've made to find it in the past has been unsuccessful. FVDMavenLakeBranchTopic01 Vald said his rowboat struck some rocks... I'd check under the water near one of the small islands in the lake. FVDMavenLakeBranchTopic01 Perhaps you should start at the docks and work your way out towards Goldenglow Estate. FVDMavenQuillBranchTopic The quill was supposed to allow me to duplicate any writing I'm viewing in exacting detail. FVDMavenQuillBranchTopic I'm sure you can understand how useful that would prove in a business situation, especially where signatures were involved. FVDMavenQuillBranchTopic01 Fortunately, the quill required an ink with a unique formula known only to myself. FVDMavenQuillBranchTopic01 So if you're getting any ideas about selling it to someone else or keeping it, you'll find it would hold little value. FVDMavenReturnBranchTopic Really? I wrote that off a long time ago. FVDMavenReturnBranchTopic Well, I suppose I need to fulfill my end of the bargain. FVDMavenReturnBranchTopic Give this document to Vald. It frees him from the debt, but I never want to see him in Riften again. GenericReward Thank you. Here, this is for you. GenericReward Just bring it back to me. GenericReward I can pay you. GenericWounded1 Uuuuhhhnnnn... aaarrrghhh.... GenericWounded2 Ooohhhh, ahhhrrrghhhh... uuuuggghhh. GenericWounded3 Uhhh... (coughing, wheezing) ... ahhhh... GenericWoundedSoldierVoicetypes1 Uuuuhhhnnnn... it hurts... GenericWoundedSoldierVoicetypes2 Aaaahhhhhrrrr.... the pain, somebody, stop... the pain... GenericWoundedSoldierVoicetypes3 (coughing fit) Uuughhnnn... GhostIntroBranchTopic Leave, stranger. Evil stirs in this place. I fear for the security of the very land if it should break free. GhostIntroCollect I have been holding him here. While he regains strength, however, I am fading. GhostIntroCollect By now I can barely contain his power, much less defeat him if he awakens. But with the help of a living champion I may be able to succeed. GhostIntroContinue We stand at the tomb of Hevnoraak, who has been dead for many generations. I fear, however, that his return may be at hand. GhostIntroVillains You would do this? Three vessels in the tomb below hold the power to vanquish Hevnoraak. Before anything else, we need those. GhostIntroVillains Bring them to me - but be careful, mortal. They are guarded by Hevnoraak's minions. They will stop at nothing to see their master return. GhostQuestionBranchTopic Find the three vessels within Valthume, then return to me. With these we can defeat him. GhostReturnBranchTopic You've found the vessels. I worried that I had sent you to your death. GroupCombat01 Only a fool lets himself get surrounded. Back up and make them come at you one at a time. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic I asked her the same thing and she wouldn't come out and tell me. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic But now that I know who she is, I'd say she's trying to hit the Thieves Guild where it hurts. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic01 Maven Black-Briar needs Goldenglow's honey for her mead. She's been using the Guild to keep the Estate under her thumb. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic01 If the owner cuts the Guild out of the picture, he's cutting Maven out of the picture... which she can't afford. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic01 If I was Maven, I'd blame the Guild for weakening and not being able to handle the place. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic01 I have a special task for whichever of you is left standing. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic01 Prove yourselves to me! GulumEiFarmBranchTopic01 But which among you truly exceeds the rest? GulumEiFarmBranchTopic01 You have gathered here night after night, sacrificing fools upon my shrine, and sparring aimlessly with yourselves. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic01 I have need of a warrior. Only the most ruthless, cunning, and agile will do. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic02 Exactly. For the Guild to survive, they need Maven's support. GulumEiFarmBranchTopic02 This Karliah must have spent a lot of time and resources planning this. GulumEiScamBranchTopic Now you're speaking my language. GulumEiScamBranchTopic Tell you what. If you need any stolen goods fenced, you bring them to me and I'll pay you good money for them. GulumEiScamBranchTopic Consider me your new friend in the north. HamingAboutHelgenTopic It ain't so bad. I miss living with my parents back in Helgen, though. Froki can't cook and there's nobody to talk to up here. HamingAboutSelfTopic Froki won't let me hunt on my own yet, but he never shuts up about killing his first stag when he was eleven. HamingAvoidHelgen It's okay, I know what happened at home. With the dragon and all. HamingParentsAreDead Yeah, but don't say anything about it to Froki. I don't think he understands. HeartwoodMillGoodbyes Bye, mister. HeartwoodMillGoodbyes Bye, lady. HeartwoodMillGoodbyes Drop by and see us again if you're ever in the area. HeartwoodMillGoodbyes Remember to tell that bastard I never want to see his ugly face again! HeartwoodMillGoodbyes Quit taking advantage of us and this world might be a better place, you got that? HeartwoodMillGoodbyes Don't let the men take advantage of you, always be on your guard. HeartwoodMillHellos Despite what you discovered it's still comforting to know my husband is at peace. HeartwoodMillHellos So, any luck finding my louse of a husband? HeartwoodMillHellos Hmph. If you see my good-for-nothing husband Leifnarr on your journeys tell him he's no longer welcome here. HeartwoodMillHellos Men are utter pigs... they only care about one thing. HeartwoodMillHellos You men are utter pigs... you only care about one thing. HeartwoodMillHellos Men are complete pigs, am I right? All they care about is one thing... and you know exactly what I mean. HeartwoodMillHellos If I ever catch my husband in bed with another woman, he's going to find himself homeless. HeartwoodMillHellos I can't believe my mother's gone. Now what'll I do? HeartwoodMillHellos I knew it! I knew my father was a hero and he didn't just run away. HeartwoodMillHellos It's just me and my mother at the mill here. My father is gone. We don't know what happened to him. HeartwoodMillHellos I hope you're not here to start some trouble. I'll fight you if I have to. HeartwoodMillHellos My mother taught me the millwork trade... you know, which trees to cut and which ones to pass up. HeartwoodMillHellos Someday I'll take over the mill... when I'm old enough. HeartwoodMillHellos I'm not afraid of anyone. Put a sword in my hand and I could defend this place if I had to! HeartwoodMillHellos Millwork sure is boring, but at least I don't have to work in a nasty mine. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic I cannot thank you enough for all of the help. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Right. Okay, tell me if you change yer mind. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Eat? No, I don't think I'm... hungry. Not now, at least. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Umm... Did you want somethin' to eat? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic What can't you get me, sweetie? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic What can I getcha, Alva? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Let's talk about it some other time. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic The longer we wait, the worse it gets. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic When the time is right, friend. When we're sure. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Still the same. I tell you, something's got to be done. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Not right now. Anything new? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Buy you a drink? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Ho, Gorm. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic When I'm known throughout Tamriel, you'll regret this decision. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic No. I mean it. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic No interest in being immortalized in song? Remembered and praised for all eternity? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Nah. Just... don't. Leave me outta it. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic I'm thinking of composing a song about you, Jonna. Would you prefer that I proclaim your beauty, your strength, your... highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Oh, I shouldn't be surprised if they come 'round. And if you're never seen or heard from agin. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Yes, but they'll come around eventually. You'll see. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic No. They ain't. And they aren't gonna. If you weren't payin' for your room, I'd have thrown you out a long time ago. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Jonna, do you think the townspeople are warming to my serenades? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Oh, look! We have company! highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Oh Hroggar, you know I'm always hungry. Don't worry, I'll eat when I need to. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Do you need anything? Are you hungry? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic I feel wonderful, just like every night. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic How are you feeling? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Hush now. Think no more of it. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic It was scary. It was like it was real! highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic It's just a dream, child. Nothing more. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic I dreamt that you went away. You made monsters. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Oh? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic I had a bad dream again last night. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Yes, sir. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Have no fear. I believe it is within you to excel in your studies. But you must learn to concentrate! highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Oh. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Because an unfocused mind will almost certainly be obliterated. Destroyed by the forces you attempt to control and yield. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Why? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Good. Concentration is paramount when dealing with magical forces. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Yes sir, I have. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Have you been working on your concentration? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic That is enough. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic But... highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic I was there only for a short time. Much of what I have learned has been on my own. And I will teach you. You have no reason to go there. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic But you went there, didn't you? Isn't that where you learned? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic The College is not the only place to learn about magic. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic But I'm learning about magic, and that's what they do there. Shouldn't I go? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic No, I don't think that will be necessary. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic When I grow up, will I go to the College in Winterhold? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Well dear, you know where to find me if it ever becomes too much for you. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Oh no! I couldn't. Mother says they are a burden we must bear for our gift. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Are you sure you don't want something for them? I may be able to brew you something to help. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Oh, yes. All the time. They come with the visions, as always. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic How are the headaches, dear? You or your mother still having them? highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Yes, I'm sure that's true. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Morthal will be mine to govern someday. I have a great deal to learn. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Oh, of course! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that it's not. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Oh, I quite like living in the hall. Mother says it's an honor to live there and serve Morthal. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Thank you, dear. It must be nice to get out of the hall every now and then. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic I like your shop, Lami. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Suleyki mulaag, Paarthurnax. My power has waxed, while yours has waned. highGateRuinsAnskaCompleteTopic Dovahkiin! Use Dragonrend, if you know it! highGateRuinsAnskaGreetingTopic I'm Anska. Are you here to help? highGateRuinsAnskaHelpTopic If Vokun is as powerful as I think, I may need a little help um ... dealing ...with him. HireliingHelloMaleCondescending My skill in battle is unmatched. Fortunately for you, that skill can be bought. HirelingHelloFemaleElfHaughty Blade and shadow, silence and death - these are my arts. For a modest fee, I'll make great art for you. HirelingHelloFemaleElfHaughty I've fought in more battles than I've got years of life in me. Pay my fee and I'll put that experience to work for you, friend. HirelingHelloFemaleElfHaughty I know nothing of fear, and nothing of remorse. Pay my fee, and together we will vanquish any foe. HirelingHelloFemaleElfHaughty Death is my art, and like all artists, I seek a patron. For a mere handful of gold, I will follow you into any danger. HirelingHelloMaleBrute If it's a mercenary you're looking for, you've found him. There's no stronger sword-arm for hire in all Skyrim. HirelingHelloMaleCond1 The only thing better than a powerful mage fighting at your side is... well, nothing, really. HirelingHelloMaleCond2 Why hire a common soldier to protect you when you can have a master of the arcane? HirelingHelloMaleCond3 For a modest fee, I'll bring my formidable arcane powers to bear against your foes. What do you say? HirelingHelloMaleCond3 If you're looking to hire the strongest mercenary in Skyrim, I'd wager your search is over. HirelingHelloMaleCond3 Sell-swords are common in Skyrim, but you'll find precious few as stout and as a strong as I am. HirelingHelloMaleEven I'm what you'd call of soldier of fortune. Make me an offer, and I just might fight at your side. HirelingHelloMaleEven02 If you've got the gold to pay my fee, then my sword-arm is yours. HirelingHelloMaleEven03 Can't be too careful these days, with the war and other dangers. For a fair price, I'll watch your back. HirelingHelloMaleEven04 Some call me a mercenary, but I like to think of myself as a freelance adventurer for hire. HirelingHelloMaleNord By blade or by spell, if you want it dead, I'll make it dead. All you need to do is pay my fee. HirelingHelloMaleNord I am a lethal instrument, yours to command for a modest sum. I suggest you hire me before one of your enemies does. HirelingHelloMaleNord I fight with both blade and spell. You might say I'm equipped to handle nearly any threat. So, shall we talk price? HirelingHelloMaleNord Sure, you can hire a swordsman or a spellcaster to fight at your side, but why not get both for the price of one? HirelingHelloMaleNord Good to see you again! How would you like to hire a brave, if untested, mercenary? HirelingHelloMaleNord Versatility is the key to survival. Hire me, and you'll be well -prepared to face threats both magical and mundane. HirelingHelloMaleNord It just feels right somehow, having this new life as an adventurer. It's what I was meant to do. HirelingHelloMaleNord At first I thought I'd miss farming. I guess I've had my fill of it, because I don't miss it at all. HirelingHelloMaleNord This new armor fits me like a glove. HirelingHelloMaleNord If I can make enough money here in Skyrim, I think I'll travel to Hammerfell and see what work I can get there. HirelingIdles I can't imagine what happened to the dwarves. How could a race with the capability to build a place like this simply vanish? HirelingIdles I've never been inside a dwarven ruin. They are simply astounding. HirelingIdles Did you hear that? A metal on stone sound... hmmm, perhaps it was nothing. HirelingIdles This place could be massive... very easy to get lost. We have to be careful not to lose our way. HirelingIdles What a marvel of engineering. The ancient Nords were ingenious builders. HirelingIdles Ugh, this place... horrible. HirelingIdles Watch yourself, these Nordic ruins are notorious for their traps. HirelingIdles These ruins are old, maybe a thousand years or more. HirelingIdles Why anything would chose to reside down here is beyond me. HirelingIdles These caves... they harbor ill omens, I can sense it. HirelingIdles Trust in Mara... she'll protect us in this dark place. HirelingIdles I don't like the looks of this place... not at all. HirelingIdles I don't know what persuaded you to assist me when we met in Dawnstar, but I'm glad you did. HirelingIdles I've done a lot of... questionable things in my life. Serving Vaermina was a horrible mistake, and I hope Mara will forgive me one day. HirelingIdles I was recruited as an acolyte of Vaermina as a young elf. I had no real childhood to speak of... we weren't permitted to socialize. HirelingIdles I've always felt a great deal of guilt running from Nightcaller Temple and leaving my friends to die. I'll never forgive myself for that. HirelingIdles After running from Nightcaller Temple, I wandered Skyrim for years until I was taken in by a priest of Mara who lived in Morthal. HirelingIdles Finding Mara was the greatest moment of my life. I'll never forget the warmth that spread through my heart when we embraced. HirelingIdles It was a bit difficult to come to the ways of Mara at first, but my fellow priests were kind and quite patient with me. HirelingIdles I've never admitted this before, but I've killed more than I care to admit. I'll just leave it at that. HirelingIdles My parents are long dead, but they lived wonderful lives... I have no sad stories to tell about them. Perhaps one day I'll visit their resting place. HirelingIdles I've been enjoying this journey with you. Not for the wealth we've accumulated, but just being carry Mara's will to every corner of Skyrim. HirelingIdles It's wonderful to be able to sleep soundly, don't you think? HirelingIdles The Greybeards are an amazing lot. Imagine, living your entire life without speaking to a friend or a loved one. I couldn't stand it. HirelingIdles I've been to Ivarstead a few times, but never climbed High Hrothgar. I wouldn't mind visiting the monastery at the summit. HirelingIdles When the weather permitted, Aerin and I would often walk the Rift's forests. The trees here are so beautiful. HirelingIdles Ah, Winterhold. I've always wanted to visit this place. The secrets locked inside must be astounding. HirelingIdles Incredible... imagine the manpower and ingenuity needed to carve the buildings of Markarth. HirelingIdles Whiterun is a such beautiful city. Have you ever seen the likes of this place? HirelingIdles This is the first time I've set foot in Windhelm. What a dreary place. HirelingIdles My mother always loved the sea. When I was young, we'd visit Solitude and watch the ships from the bluff. Ah... better times. HirelingIdles It feels good to walk the streets of Riften again. HirelingIdles Vampires... an unclean lot. It will be a pleasure to clear this place. HirelingIdles Don't let the vampires strike you or else you may get infected with their blood poisoning. HirelingIdles Be aware of rune traps on the ground or else this could be a very short expedition. HirelingIdles The College of Winterhold is an amazing sight. I've never set foot on the grounds, but always wanted to. HirelingIdles Kill these casters as fast as you can, otherwise they may summon creatures we don't want to deal with. HirelingIdles The Forsworn haven't been kind to Karthwasten. I've heard rumors that they've attacked this place without mercy. HirelingIdles Ugh... dark sorcery. Always makes my skin crawl. HirelingIdles I grew up in The Pale. This land was my home for most of my life... and for a Dunmer, that's quite a statement, I assure you. HirelingIdles We should bow our heads in silent reverence for those who are interred in Falkreath's cemetery. HirelingIdles If there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that draugr burn like tinder. We could use that to our advantage. HirelingIdles I've always wanted to make a pilgrimage here to the Temple of Mara. Thank you for bringing me here... you've made me quite happy. HirelingIdles Many have fallen in this crypt. The Draugr show no mercy. HirelingIdles Watch your step, Markarth has quite a reputation thanks to the Silver-Blood family. I wouldn't advise crossing them. HirelingIdles Ugh, Draugr. They reek of decay. HirelingIdles What an amazing city. I've actually never managed to visit Whiterun, but I always wanted to. HirelingIdles Windhelm is absolutely freezing. How can these people tolerate it? HirelingIdles When I was a child, my village was burned to the ground by bandits. Do you know I actually saw one laugh as he ran my brother through... HirelingIdles I was a student at the Bards College for a short time... until my affiliation with Vaermina was discovered. I haven't been back to Solitude since. HirelingIdles I've heard Riften's home to the worst Skyrim has to offer. I hope we don't run into any trouble while we're here. HirelingIdles I hope there's more bandits around... their numbers could use a little more thinning. HirelingIdles Her Benevolence has taught me patience and mercy, but these vampires deserve none of it. HirelingIdles These bandits would stab each other in the back if it meant an extra coin in their pockets. HirelingIdles A good friend of mine was infected by a vampire long ago. He killed himself rather than change into one of those... things. HirelingIdles Bandits... the worst type of scum. HirelingIdles Vampires are utter abominations. We need to do everything in our power to destroy them. HirelingIdles Being a priest of Vaermina put me very close to dark sorcery at its worst. HirelingIdles Perhaps we can find some treasure if we search the grounds of the fort thoroughly. HirelingIdles Let's try and stay together, the sorcerers in these places tend to... well, harvest bodies for parts. HirelingIdles I've seen my share of black magic, but that's all in the past now. HirelingIdles If fought more than my share of bandits in places like this. HirelingIdles This place must be cleansed. These draugr were once living beings and they deserve better. HirelingIdles These poor souls... suffering in eternal servitude. HirelingIdles Keep your eyes open for ambushes. These forts have too many blind corners. HirelingIdles The thought of the dead rising... makes me sick to my stomach. HirelingIdles Bandits know nothing of pity or mercy. No need to show them any either. HirelingIdles These are the most dangerous, but the most profitable types of ruins. The dwarves must have been a prosperous race. HirelingIdles A group of bandits descended on Dawnstar once... if it wasn't for the guard, who knows what they could have done to the place. HirelingIdles Bandits are the worst lot. They'd steal from their own mothers given the chance. HirelingIdles Watch the walls for the sphere constructs... they can appear in the blink of an eye. HirelingIdles I thought I heard footsteps. Be careful. HirelingIdles When I was a young acolyte of Vaermina, I paid my dues in a shrine located within the catacombs of a fort in Cyrodiil. HirelingIdles The dwarves were masters at subterranean construction... these ruins show only a fraction of their capabilities. HirelingIdles I served as a healer in a fort not unlike this one long ago. HirelingIdles Mzinchaleft. I swore I'd never return here. HirelingIdles I almost died in a ruin just like this. HirelingIdles Danger's about, I can tell. Be cautious. HirelingIdles Can you just imagine how ancient this place must be? Hundreds of years? Thousands? HirelingIdles There could be Draugr about, I can smell the decay in the air. HirelingIdles I've ventured into quite a few Nord ruins in my day. HirelingIdles I'll bet some of these artifacts would fetch a good price. I hope they're not cursed. HirelingIdles I wonder what the ancient Nords did in these ruins. Unspeakable sacrifices, maybe? HirelingIdles Killed my first creature in a cave just like this... I'll never forget it. HirelingIdles If these ruins frighten you, take comfort in the knowledge that I am here. HirelingIdles Do try not to set off any traps, will you? HirelingIdles I'm certain we'll find some treasure down here. HirelingIdles I suppose you intend to carry off every item of value in these ruins. HirelingIdles These ruins might be interesting if I wasn't already an expert on Nordic history. HirelingIdles Keep your eyes open, I don't like the looks of this place. HirelingIdles Remember to check behind you every once in a while. Who knows what might try to sneak up on us. HirelingIdles Keep your eyes open for traps. Old ruins like this are usually filled with them. HirelingIdles Exploring these caves feels like coming home. I missed this. HirelingIdles The ancient Nords were a savage people, but they built some remarkable crypts and temples. HirelingIdles There's a lot of history in a place like that. I'll bet these walls could tell some amazing stories. HirelingIdles I've really missed traveling like this. Walking the breadth of Skyrim has always filled my heart with excitement. HirelingIdles Look at this craftsmanship! These old halls fill some folk with dread, but as a Nord, they fill me with pride. HirelingIdles We're bound to find some gold in these ruins, but out of respect, let's leave a few coins for the dead. HirelingIdles It's strange to think that some of my own ancestors might be buried in here. HirelingIdles Plunder these ruins at your peril, friend. The spirits of the dead won't look kindly upon it. HirelingIdles Never knew a place could be so ancient. I bet it's over a thousand years old. HirelingIdles Wonder if any of my ancestors ever walked these halls? HirelingIdles I've never been a sellsword... never traded my skills for pay. I've always adventured on my own terms. HirelingIdles Everything in here seems to be about death. Burial urns, crypts, funeral shrouds. It's a bit depressing. HirelingIdles I wonder what the ancient nords used this place for? HirelingIdles You should have seen me at the height of my adventuring career... I was fearless and took too many risks. But that's what it was all about. HirelingIdles The Dwemer who built this place were sometimes called Dwarves, but history records that they were no shorter than humans. HirelingIdles There are scholars in Cyrodiil who have dedicated their lives to solving the mystery of the Dwemers' disappearance. HirelingIdles I remember a cutpurse trying to rob me on the road once. When I drew Grimsever, I think the poor man soiled his armor! HirelingIdles It is remarkable that so many of these ancient Dwemer creations still function. HirelingIdles There are those who believe that the entire Dwemer race will one day return just as suddenly as it vanished. HirelingIdles I've seen enough death to last three lifetimes, yet I never tire of a good fight. What do you make of that? HirelingIdles What good is a sword or an axe against an enemy made of brass and steel? HirelingIdles It's unnatural, building all these machines. If you ask me, the Dwemer got what they deserved. HirelingIdles I don't like fighting these Dwemer creations. Where's the fun in killing something that doesn't even bleed? HirelingIdles When I was young, I'd journey with my father on hunting expeditions into Morrowind. The cliff racers made for excellent sport. HirelingIdles Watch out for the hot steam vents down here. They'll burn you worse than fire. HirelingIdles Had they placed their faith in magic instead of machinery, the Dwemer might still be around. HirelingIdles I love the cold air... it's exhilarating. Perhaps it's because of my Nord blood, but there's something about it that makes me feel alive. HirelingIdles A living Dwemer was once discovered in Morrowind. Can you imagine it, being the last surviving member of your race? HirelingIdles I should bring some of these Dwemer artifacts to the Arcane University in Cyrodiil for study. HirelingIdles I wonder what keeps these machines working so long after their masters disappeared. HirelingIdles The Dwemer created so many wondrous machines, and yet nobody ever followed in their footsteps. Why is that, I wonder? HirelingIdles My father wanted me to follow in his footsteps as a hunter, but I set my aspirations a bit higher. He never complained... I miss him. HirelingIdles Among other things, the Dwemer were expert trap-makers. Watch the floor for tripwires and false plates. HirelingIdles I've half a mind to dismantle one of these Dwemer machines. I'd like to see how it works. HirelingIdles I suppose the warmth in this place comes from all the hot steam vents. HirelingIdles My mother was a strong woman... she's the one who instructed me on my swordfighting techniques. Can you imagine? HirelingIdles Scholars say the Dwemer were an advanced culture. Ha! The Nords outlasted their entire race. So much for being advanced. HirelingIdles I wonder why the Dwemer came to Skyrim. Why did they build this place? I suppose we'll never know. HirelingIdles People say Skyrim is one of the most dangerous places in Tamriel. I think they're wrong... it's magnificent and I'm proud to call it home. HirelingIdles Do these steel walls and strange Dwemer devices make you uneasy? Perhaps it's just me. HirelingIdles I've heard that you can sell Dwemer artifacts on the black market down in Cyrodiil. They fetch a handsome price, too. HirelingIdles As we walk these stone passages, we delve into the very bones of the earth. HirelingIdles This place is amazing! It's hard to believe that mortal hands built them. HirelingIdles What do you think these devices were for? HirelingIdles There is an unnatural chill in the air. Some evil power is at work in this place. HirelingIdles The stories don't say why the dwarves disappeared. I wonder if their machines turned on them. HirelingIdles It's amazing this place is so well preserved. There isn't even a hint of rust. HirelingIdles I do not envy those creatures that make a home in such cold, dark places as this. HirelingIdles So many shadowy corners to strike from! I could learn to like this place. HirelingIdles Careful. Our footsteps will echo in every chamber and tunnel. HirelingIdles By the Nine, I'd pay good money for a pint of ale to warm my bones! HirelingIdles Silence will serve us well in this place. Let us take our foes by surprise. HirelingIdles Be wary for traps. If you spy one, try to get an enemy to trigger it. HirelingIdles Curse this chill! I should have dressed more warmly. HirelingIdles I can see the battle-lust in your eyes. Doom will surely come to any who cross your path. HirelingIdles If it wasn't for all the dangers in here, this place could almost be cozy. HirelingIdles When I was a child, I dreamed about having a fort like this all to myself. HirelingIdles I wonder if we'll come across some bandits who've just finished roasting a rabbit on a spit. Maybe they'll have a keg of ale, too. HirelingIdles If this cold numbs my fingers any worse, I'll scarcely be able to hold a weapon. HirelingIdles If my ma could see me now, she'd scold me good. She'd tell me I should know better than to go poking around in abandoned forts. HirelingIdles This smell of dank earth and worm-eaten wood is going to make me lose my last meal. HirelingIdles Gods, I'd hate to lose my footing in a place like this. A fall on this stony floor will break bones. HirelingIdles How pathetic, being forced to eke out a miserable existence in a place like this. HirelingIdles Just look at this place. Is this what passes for a fort in Skyrim? HirelingIdles Take extra care you don't hit your head on a low-hanging bit of stone. HirelingIdles The sooner we can get out of this filth-pit, the better. HirelingIdles These timber supports are rotted through. It's a wonder this place is still standing. HirelingIdles Mind your step. I think I spied a patch of ice on the floor. HirelingIdles Don't go stopping for a nap. If you fall asleep in this place, you'll never wake up. HirelingIdles Are you sure you can find your way? It would be easy to get lost in here. HirelingIdles Check every crate, chest and barrel you see. Who knows, maybe a few of them have something valuable inside. HirelingIdles Did you bring a torch? These old forts can get pretty dark inside. HirelingIdles There are forts like this all over Skyrim. The Imperials abandoned most of them a long time ago. HirelingIdles Just look at this place. I've seen better workmanship from Nord children only ten winters old. HirelingIdles So this is what passes for Imperial craftsmanship. Try not to sneeze, or you might bring the whole fort down. HirelingIdles What is that stench? Rotting wood, perhaps? That can't be good. HirelingIdles You'd have to be pretty desperate to want to make a home in this dank hole. HirelingIdles The Jarls never want to pay to keep the forts. They just keep slipping further into ruin. HirelingIdles This cold is unbearable. It's all I can do not to shiver until my teeth rattle. HirelingIdles I wonder what great battles were fought here? HirelingIdles Do you think Tiber Septim ever fought here? HirelingIdles Would it be foolish to stop for a while and light a fire? I suppose it would. HirelingIdles I can see why they built the fort here. A small force could control most of the nearby land. HirelingIdles Outlaws and brigands are the lowest of the low. They prey on their own countrymen for profit. HirelingIdles Gods willing, we'll find a chest full of gold in one of these chambers. HirelingIdles I hope that when I die, I don't end up as a shambling corpse. HirelingIdles At times like this, I truly appreciate the joys of a warm fire and a stiff drink. HirelingIdles The Forsworn are as wild as wolves. Practice those old magics, so some folk say. HirelingIdles There are strange echoes in these caves. Keep you eyes open. HirelingIdles Wizards. Why is it always wizards. HirelingIdles It isn't just your blood that a vampire wants, it's your mortal soul. HirelingIdles If a man can't feel at home in a freezing cave, then he isn't truly a Nord. HirelingIdles Fighting draugr is as much about controlling your fear as anything else. HirelingIdles Most bandits are cowards. These seem to be braver than most. HirelingIdles I have to admit, I admire your courage. Most folk in Skyrim wouldn't go near a place like this. HirelingIdles These wizards are mad beyond reason. They understand only violence. HirelingIdles When I was a boy, my friends and I used to play "seek the wumpus" in caves much like this. HirelingIdles There is no greater madness than those who seek to become vampires. That's a dark bargain if there ever was one. HirelingIdles Caves sounded more exciting in the bard's songs. HirelingIdles You can easily break a blade on the metal skin of a Dwemer construct. HirelingIdles It's kind of dark in here. HirelingIdles I hate bandits and thieves. Men like these raid our town every year. HirelingIdles How deep is this cave? HirelingIdles I hope that when I die, I don't end up as a shambling corpse. HirelingIdles It feels like a whole mountain of rock is above us. HirelingIdles The Forsworn are strange men. They fight to reclaim Markarth, but they live like savages. HirelingIdles I don't like wizards and their spells. Give me an axe any day. HirelingIdles These walking devices are strange yet amazing. What magic powers them? HirelingIdles I'd rather fight bandits than draugr. At least bandits know when to stay dead. HirelingIdles Taken alone, the draugr aren't so fearsome. They're far more deadly in greater numbers. HirelingIdles These Forsworn are just savages. They live in caves and ruins when civilized folk build towns and cities. HirelingIdles You can't argue with these mages. They'll attack you on sight. HirelingIdles In a mine, the poor man labors to find precious stones that only the rich man can afford. HirelingIdles It probably took some Dwemer craftsman a year to build one of those things. HirelingIdles There may be no enemy more foul than a walking corpse. HirelingIdles I wonder how many poor souls have lost their lives working these tunnels. HirelingIdles I thought about becoming a bandit. I decided I preferred clean clothes and fresh mead. HirelingIdles These earthen passages do not agree with me. I already miss the wind and sky. HirelingIdles These ruins and their mechanical inhabitants are all that remain of the Dwemer. HirelingIdles It's said that the Forsworn make dark pacts with the Hagravens, and that is why they can use magic. HirelingIdles The fewer of these mines we venture into, the happier I'll be. HirelingIdles There is no adversary more deadly than a vampire. They are as cruel as they are cunning. HirelingIdles Bandits are desperate men. They have nothing to lose, and they fight like it. HirelingIdles The cloying air in this place is almost unbearable. HirelingIdles What some call devotion to the dark arts, I call foolishness. HirelingIdles By the gods, let this mine be small so we can be done with it quickly. HirelingIdles These Forsworn don't even have the decency to dress right. HirelingIdles Draugr are slow and clumsy. Hardly a challenge for a man like me. HirelingIdles I would find the Dwemers' mechanical guardians fascinating if they didn't try to kill everything on sight. HirelingIdles My nose and mouth are so full of dust, I can hardly breath. HirelingIdles Don't get too far ahead. HirelingIdles We will be back. This is not over. HirelingIdles Wouldn't it be something if we found a vein of gold? HirelingIdles I don't care what you're doing, after what happened you're lucky I don't toss you in jail. Now get lost. HirelingIdles It would be easy for someone -- or something -- to sneak up on us down here. HirelingIdles Are you sure you wouldn't rather explore, say, a nice tavern? HirelingIdles We're causing no trouble. All we ask is to look for her. HirelingIdles Look, you've already been told you're not allowed here. Turn around and go back the way you came. HirelingIdles Let's try not to make too much noise. I've heard that cave-ins can start that way. HirelingIdles I wonder what they were mining down here. HirelingIdles Let's hope the miners didn't unearth anything besides precious stones, if you take my meaning. HirelingIdles Not for all the gold in Skyrim would I spend my life working in these tunnels. HirelingIdles I've heard that miners sometimes die from poisonous gases trapped beneath the ground. HirelingIdles I'm already looking forward to getting back above ground. HirelingIdles You know what I miss the most right now? Fresh air. HirelingIdles It takes uncommon strength to work the mines in Skyrim. The earth here is cold and hard, like the heart of a Nord. HirelingIdles There's an old maid's tale that says our ancestors dug these mines with their bare hands. HirelingIdles I've half a mind to grab a pickaxe and start digging. Never know what you might find. HirelingIdles It seems warmer down here than it was outside. HirelingIdles Hard to believe people actually have to work in places like this. HirelingIdles Wonder what they mine from these walls. HirelingIdles I'll take a sword or mace over a pick axe any day. HirelingIdles Do you think we'll find gold nuggets in here? HirelingIdles It is strange to think that these chambers were once home to the ancient Nords. HirelingIdles I feel the eyes of angry spirits upon us. We are not welcome here. HirelingIdles Few would dare to trespass in these ruins. What you lack in wisdom, you make up for in courage. HirelingIdles Do not ask me to take treasures from this place. I will not risk the anger of the dead. HirelingIdles They say ruins like these are filled with treasure. Of course, they're filled with traps, too. HirelingIdles I could have sworn I heard something right behind us. HirelingQuestErikSlayerTopic Father says I should pick a name that describes what I really am, but nobody's going to hire Erik Greenthumb or Erik Hoe-pusher. HirelingQuestErikSlayerTopic No, I need a name that will put some fear in the hearts of my enemies. When I have some enemies, that is. HirelingQuestErikTopic1Topic Seemed like the best way to see the world and make some coin. HirelingQuestErikTopic1Topic Sure I'm a little green, but what I lack in experience, I make up for in courage. HirelingQuestGoodbyes Why settle for just stabbing your foes when you can roast them alive in a gout of arcane fire? HirelingQuestGoodbyes Watch your back, friend. Better yet, pay me to do it for you. HirelingQuestGoodbyes Best not to walk the roads of Skyrim alone. HirelingQuestGoodbyes Walk always in shadows, so that you will see your foes before they see you. HirelingQuestGoodbyes The blade can be as lethal as the spell, but deadlier still is the one who wields both! HirelingQuestHellos My patron appears once more. Have you need of my blade? HirelingQuestHellos It pleases me to see you again, my patron. HirelingQuestHellos Didn't think I'd be seeing you again so soon. HirelingQuestHellos You're looking hale and healthy. It's good to see you again. HirelingQuestHellos You're back! Great! Are we going on another adventure? HirelingQuestHellos It's great to see you again! It's been too quiet without you around. HirelingQuestHellos Well, look what the horker dragged in. Still wandering all over Skyrim and causing trouble? HirelingQuestHellos I knew you couldn't stay away. Admit it, you were lost without me. HirelingQuestHellos Well, look who it is. Been keeping out of trouble much? I hope not! HirelingQuestHellos If you need some skulls crushed, I'm still available for hire. HirelingQuestHellos It's good to see you. If you need my help again, it's the same fee as always. HirelingQuestHellos Well met, friend. It's good to see you're still in one piece, with all the trouble you get into. HirelingQuestMercenaryTopicBranchTopic I am an artisan, painting in strokes of blood red upon the canvas of life. But yes, I will take coin to fight at your side. HirelingQuestMercenaryTopicBranchTopic After all, where is the value in creating art if there is nobody left alive to see it? HirelingQuestRefusalTopic If you change your mind, seek me out here. HirelingQuestReHireBlocking You've been a worthy patron. Shall I join you once more, free of charge? HirelingQuestReHireBlocking I could really use some more experience in the field. I'd be happy to join you again, and it won't cost a thing. HirelingQuestReHireBlocking Back for more? Since we had so much fun the last time, I'll join you free of charge. HirelingQuestReHireBlocking If you still need my blade, I'll join you. I want to make sure you get your money's worth. HirelingQuestReHireBlocking Since you paid my fee recently, I suppose it's only fair that I join you once more. HirelingQuestReHireBlocking I'm bored. What do you say we go smash a few heads in? This one's on me. HirelingQuestReHireBranchTopic Looks like you've got some help already. I'll join you, but you'll have to let your comrade go. What do you say? HirelingQuestReHireBranchTopic Lead the way. HirelingQuestReHireBranchTopic Once more into danger! HirelingQuestReHireBranchTopic I'm ready to go! HirelingQuestReHireBranchTopic My blade is yours once more. HirelingQuestReHireBranchTopic Good, I can use the exercise. Haha! HirelingQuestReHireBranchTopic Alright, then. Let's go. HirelingQuestReHireBranchTopic Or if you're feeling lucky, you can take this bow. Might take her by surprise. HirelingQuestReHireBranchTopic Or if you're feeling lucky, you can take this bow. Might take her by surprise. HirelingQuestTopic1 You seem to be a little short on coin. Come back and see me when you've got the gold. HirelingQuestTopic1 Looks like you've got some help already. I'll join you, but you'll have to let your comrade go. What do you say? HirelingQuestTopic1 With a master of magic at your side, you'll have nothing to fear. HirelingQuestTopic1 That's a fair price. My blade is yours. HirelingQuestTopic1 My blade is sharp and I thirst for battle. Onward, then! HirelingQuestTopic1 You have chosen wisely. Lead on, and I shall follow. HirelingQuestTopic1 What dangers and wonders shall we discover in the frozen wastes? I can hardly wait to find out! HirelingQuestTopic1 Lead the way! HousePurchaseHousecarlThaneTopic The Jarl has recognized you as a person of great importance in the hold. A hero. HousePurchaseHousecarlThaneTopic The title of Thane is an honor, a gift for your service. Guards will know to look the other way, if you tell them who you are. HousePurchaseHousecarlTopicTopic As my Thane, I'm sworn to your service. I'll guard you, and all you own, with my life. HouseWindhelmViewBranch1Topic There is an empty home in the city, but there was some... unpleasantness recently. I'm afraid it's not available just yet. HowMuch How much? IndaraTellBranch01Topic I knew he was troubled, but one of the Thalmor? I wish I could say I did not believe it. Thank you for telling me.

IsthewarreallyoverTopic I wish I could say that it was, but it's not that simple. IsthewarreallyoverTopic Many Stormcloaks will fight until they die, because they still believe they're fighting for Skyrim's freedom. IsthewarreallyoverTopic But without Ulfric, the movement will wither and die. It's only a matter of time. JarlMakeFriendsShared01 There is room in my court for a new Thane. It's an honorary title, mainly, but there are a few perks someone like you could make use of. JarlMakeFriendsShared01 However, I could only grant the title to someone who is known throughout my Hold, and who owns at least one piece of property in my city. JarlMakeFriendsShared01 You help my people and purchase a house from my steward, and I'll make you my Thane. JarlMakeFriendsShared02 There is room in my court for a new Thane.

LodBookAcceptTopic01 Great. Here you go. Come back later and I'll have other things. LodBookOfferTopic01 Hey friend, you wouldn't happen to be looking for unusual items would you? LodBookOfferTopic02 First off, let's keep this between us. I picked these up from the graves in town so don't go blabbing about it to Kust. LodBookOfferTopic02 You have to understand, Gentle Repose is a fallow festering place I should have left a long time ago. This is one of the few ways I make any money. LodBookOfferTopic02 Right now I've got a book that I think you might like. LodBookOfferTopic03 Yeah, if your interested then I'll give you the book for free. If you like it you can come back later and I'll have other stuff. LodBookOfferTopic03 I mean, it don't cost me anything to let you have one and the dead won't notice their stuff missing. heh. LoreiusSharedResponse1 Pay me? You think this is about money? LoreiusSharedResponse1 Have you seen the man? He's completely out of his head. A jester? Here, in Skyrim? Ain't been a merryman in these parts for a hundred years. LoreiusSharedResponse1 And he's transporting some giant box. Says it's a coffin, and he's going to bury his mother. Mother my eye. LoreiusSharedResponse1 He could have anything in there. War contraband. Weapons. Skooma. Ain't no way I'm getting involved in any of that. MarkarthFaleenShared01 Very well, you may approach the Mournful Throne, but watch your words. MathiasTellBranch01Topic I knew he was troubled, but one of the Thalmor? I wish I could say I did not believe it. Thank you for telling me. MavenFarmSaleBranchTopic Yes, we spoke at length while you were in Whiterun dealing with our meadery situation. MavenFarmSaleBranchTopic I hope for all your sakes you find out who's behind this supposed "plot." MavenFarmSaleBranchTopic01 Having Goldenglow kept in line by the Thieves Guild has kept the honey flowing with minimal cost. MavenFarmSaleBranchTopic01 Now, mysteriously, some sort of anonymous adversary shows up and takes the Estate out of my hands. MavenFarmSaleBranchTopic02 When you've been doing business like I have for decades, you quickly discover that the only person you can trust is yourself. MavenFarmSaleBranchTopic03 If you were to bring me the deed to Goldenglow Estate, so I was the full owner, that would be a step in the right direction. MavenFarmSaleBranchTopic04 Since I know losing the farm's payments will harm the Guild, I intend to make a substantial contribution for compensation. MavenFarmSaleBranchTopic04 I take care of my friends. MaybeYouCanHelpMe Maybe you can help me. MazeEntrance There's no telling what we might find inside! MazeEntrance After you, Dragonborn. You should have the honor of being the first to set foot in Sky Haven Temple. MazeEntrance You did it. There's the entrance! MazeEntrance That's done it! Look, it's coming to life! MazeEntrance Look here! You see how the ancient Blades revered Reman Cyrodiil. MazeEntrance This whole place appears to be a shrine to Reman. He ended the Akaviri invasion under mysterious circumstances, you recall. MazeEntrance After the so-called "battle" of Pale Pass, the Akaviri went into his service. This was the foundation stone of the Second Empire. MazeEntrance Gods above, what are you waiting for? MazeEntrance Esbern's probably right. Try using your blood on the carved seal on the floor. MazeEntrance If you need help drawing some blood, let me know. MazeEntrance Try dripping blood onto the carving on the floor. MazeEntrance Your blood, Dragonborn. MazeEntrance Ah... here's the "blood seal." Another of the lost Akaviri arts. No doubt triggered by... well, blood. MazeEntrance Wonderful! Remarkably well-preserved, too.

The only thing keeping it successful is Maven. MercerFarmSaleBranchTopic01 Word on the street was that Honningbrew tasted better, cost less and Sabjorn didn't shove it down everyone's throat. MercerFarmSaleBranchTopic01 If Sabjorn ever managed to push Maven off her pedestal, we'd all be in trouble. MercerFarmSaleBranchTopic02 Look, in case you hadn't noticed, these aren't the glory days of the Guild. MercerFarmSaleBranchTopic02 We've lost more clients in the last decade than I'd care to count, but Maven's stuck with us through throughout the entire ordeal. MercerFarmSaleBranchTopic02 I'll be damned if I'm going to lose her to... well, to whatever they are. MerryfairFarmGoodbyes Dragons, thieves and war. I should have stayed in Morrowind. MerryfairFarmGoodbyes The Ratway is somewhere under Riften, shouldn't be too tough to find. MerryfairFarmGoodbyes Watch yourself out there or they'll take everything away from you. MerryfairFarmHellos You'll have to forgive my husband's manners. He's not used to pleasantries. MerryfairFarmHellos The war's been hard on the farm and hard on Dravin. We don't know what to expect from one day to the next. MerryfairFarmHellos Someday, I hope we can get away from here... perhaps move back to Morrowind. This isn't at all what we expected. MerryfairFarmHellos I'm afraid we have little to offer you in the way of hospitality. MerryfairFarmHellos Just be careful, Gralnach. That copse doesn't look safe. If you see any trouble, you run right home. MerryfairFarmHellos I was hoping to head into Riften for supplies, but I can do that after I'm done with the elms. MerryfairFarmHellos There is a copse of elms to the east. We could really use that wood. MerryfairFarmHellos Mother, I finished cutting at the northern stand. Where do I move on to now? MerryfairFarmHellos It's okay, mother. I understand. MerryfairFarmHellos I wish you didn't hate him so much... I wish the whole family could be together again. MerryfairFarmHellos He was a wonderful man, and he loved us very much. I'm sorry I yelled at you. MerryfairFarmHellos That's because there's nothing to tell. He left us to fend for ourselves and that's all you need to know. MerryfairFarmHellos I'm sorry mother, now that he's dead, I just want to know everything I can about him. MerryfairFarmHellos I'm sorry mother, I just want to know more about him. You never tell me anything! MerryfairFarmHellos Gralnach! I told you not to go through your father's things! MerryfairFarmHellos Thanks again for getting my bow back from those thieves. Next time they come knocking I'll be ready. MerryfairFarmHellos So, has my bow turned up yet? MerryfairFarmHellos Who in the name of Azura are you? MerryfairFarmHellos You look suspicious. You better not be one of those damn thieves. MerryfairFarmHellos It's not safe around here. There's thieves out there looking to steal everything you own. MerryfairFarmHellos You even think of taking something from my house... and I'll kill you. MerryfairFarmHellos Now that you've brought Dravin's bow back, he's back to his crabby old self. For better or for worse, I still thank you. MerryfairFarmHellos After we were robbed, Dravin's become more bitter than ever. He hates this place. MG01AncanoArgumentBranchTopic Your superior and I were simply having a... discussion about my level of access to the College. MG01AncanoArgumentBranchTopic Very good. Then we're done here. MG01AncanoArgumentBranchTopic Yes, of course. The Arch-Mage has my thanks. MG01AncanoArgumentBranchTopic You are a guest of the College, here at the pleasure of the Arch-Mage. I hope you appreciate the opportunity. MG01AncanoArgumentBranchTopic You may be used to the Empire bowing to your every whim, but I'm afraid you'll find the Thalmor receive no such treatment here. MG01AncanoArgumentBranchTopic Yes of course. I'm simply trying to understand the reasoning behind the decision. MG01AncanoArgumentBranchTopic I believe I've made myself rather clear. MG01AncanoArgumentBranchTopic Go ahead, Ataf. MG01AncanoArgumentCallOut Well, perhaps that is why you're merely an Apprentice here. MG01AncanoArgumentWhatAbout Nothing you need to concern yourself with. I shall be quite capable of observing everything that goes on here. MG01DontKnowSpell No? Well, if you think you're capable of it, then I'd be happy to provide it to you for a mere 30 gold. MG01DontKnowSpell Or you can try your luck with one of the court wizards around Skyrim. They also sell spells. MG01Faralda1WhyAreYouHereBranchTopic Perhaps. But what is it you expect to find within? MG01FaraldaBridgeForcegreetBranchTopic Cross the bridge at your own peril! MG01FaraldaBridgeForcegreetBranchTopic The way is dangerous, and the gate will not open. You shall not gain entry! MG01FaraldaEntryBranchIntro It would seem that the College has what you seek. The question now is what you can offer the College. MG01FaraldaEntryBranchIntro Not just anyone is allowed inside. Those wishing to enter must show some degree of skill with magic. MG01FaraldaEntryBranchIntro A small test, if you will. MG01FaraldaEntryBranchIntro If you can pass the test, then yes. MG01FaraldaEntryPersuade You know, I think you're right. MG01FaraldaEntryPersuade No, I'm afraid I don't know anything of the sort. MG01FaraldaEntryTakeTest I'm afraid your skills haven't improved enough to be considered. MG01FaraldaEntryTakeTest Excellent. MG01FaraldaHereResponse1 I see. That power certainly exists, I assure you. Wield it faithfully, and few can withstand you. MG01FaraldaHereResponse2 Do you? MG01FaraldaHereResponse2 It is true there are some here who have spent years studying the accumulated knowledge of the scrolls. MG01FaraldaHereResponse2 But what you seek does not come easily, and can destroy those without a strong will. MG01FaraldaHereResponse3 Yes, the school of Illusion can be quite influential. Kings have risen to power because of it, and empires have been razed with it. MG01FaraldaHereResponse4 Ah, the immortal plane. It is said to be the source of all magic. This is a noble goal, indeed. MG01FaraldaHereResponse5 Ha! Humor is often in short supply here. MG01FaraldaHereResponse5 But I sense that perhaps you're after more than just that. MG01FaraldaInitialBranchTopic Welcome to the College of Winterhold. I am Faralda, one of the senior Wizards here. MG01FaraldaInitialBranchTopic I trust you found your journey to Winterhold not entirely unpleasant. MG01FaraldaInitialBranchTopic Now, I must advise you that if your only purpose in being here is to complain, you would be far better off speaking with the Jarl of Winterhold. MG01FaraldaInitialBranchTopic If, however, you seek something more, I will be happy to assist you. MG01FaraldaInitialBranchTopic Is there some way I can assist you? MG01FaraldaInitResponse1 Oh, forgive me. MG01FaraldaInitResponse1 Most who arrive here do so because they have heard of the College beforehand. MG01FaraldaInitResponse1 This is the College of Winterhold, a safe haven for mages in Skyrim. A place of wisdom and arcane knowledge. MG01FaraldaInitResponse2 It is no great secret that we have been unjustly blamed for a great many things over the years. MG01FaraldaInitResponse2 The good people of Skyrim on occasion would rather pass judgment than attempt to understand what we do here. MG01FaraldaInitResponse2 Thus we must take certain precautions in order to secure our safety. MG01FaraldaInitResponse3 I am here to assist those seeking the wisdom of the College. MG01FaraldaInitResponse3 And if, in the process, my presence helps to deter those who might seek to do harm, so be it. MG01FaraldaInitResponse3 The more important question is: why are you here? MG01FaraldaLocalProblemsBranchTopic No, not recently at least. MG01FaraldaLocalProblemsBranchTopic We don't mistake that for acceptance, though. Odds are they're simply too afraid to confront us directly. MG01FaraldaLocalProblemsBranchTopic And most of us are quite satisfied with that. MG01FaraldaMoreCollegeInfoBranchTopic We are the only group left in Skyrim dedicated to the study of the arcane. MG01FaraldaMoreCollegeInfoBranchTopic There are others who study, to be sure, but they do so in private, and often in secret. MG01FaraldaShoutForcegreetBranchTopic So the stories are true... you are Dragonborn! MG01FaraldaShoutForcegreetBranchTopic Normally you'd need to show some aptitude with one of the schools of magic, but you... MG01FaraldaShoutForcegreetBranchTopic I think there is much that we can learn from each other. MG01FaraldaYoureInBranchTopic I think you'll be a superb addition to the College. Welcome, Apprentice. MG01FaraldaYoureInBranchTopic I'll lead you across the bridge. Once you're inside you'll want to speak with Mirabelle Ervine, our Master Wizard. Please, follow me. MG01InitialBranchTopic Nords don't care much for magic. The College in Winterhold is about the only place it's not looked down on. MG01InitialBranchTopic Otherwise you could talk to the Jarl's pet wizard in Solitude. MG01InitialBranchTopic The College of Winterhold is the only place in Skyrim open-minded enough to teach magic. MG01InitialBranchTopic Although Ulfric's court wizard has been known to take on apprentices once in a while. MG01InitialBranchTopic Magic? Goodness, not here! Nothing dangerous like that! That's all kept to that College up in Winterhold. MG01InitialBranchTopic Better that than dealing with Ulfric's wizard like some do. MG01InitialBranchTopic Magic is for the weak. Elves, I mean. They keep to that College in Winterhold. They know their place. MG01InitialBranchTopic Of course there is Farengar. He might be the Jarl's wizard, but at least he's a Nord. MG01InitialBranchTopic Pfft, I should've guessed as much. Your kind sticks to that College in Winterhold, as well they should. MG01InitialBranchTopic You'd never think to learn from a Nord like the Jarl's wizard. MG01InitialBranchTopic There's a College in Winterhold that teaches magic. It's very secretive, though, and you know how people hate secrets. MG01InitialBranchTopic The Jarl's court wizard was taught there. That one's full of secrets. MG01InitialBranchTopic Magic? That's dangerous. You want to learn that, go to that College in Winterhold. They teach that stuff there. MG01InitialBranchTopic Hey! I know. The Jarl's wizard could teach ya. He's lots closer. MG01InitialBranchTopic I've got no interest in magic users. No use for their kind at all. They're way up north in Winterhold, and that's fine with me. MG01InitialBranchTopic I don't even like our Jarl havin' a court wizard. MG01InitialBranchTopic Bit of advice, folks here don't care for magic or those that use it. If you're intent on it, check at the College up in Winterhold. MG01InitialBranchTopic Either that or go see the Jarl's court wizard. MG01InitialBranchTopic Looking to blow yourself up? I hear that's what magic does to you. There's a College in Winterhold that teaches magic, unless that blew up too. MG01InitialBranchTopic Be a lot safer just to have the Jarl's wizard teach you a thing or two. MG01InitialBranchTopic Magic is nothing but trouble. If you're set on it, there's that College in Winterhold or Ulfric's court wizard. But don't say I didn't warn you. MG01InitialBranchTopic The people of Skyrim don't like magic much, so about the only place you're likely to find a teacher is the College of Winterhold. MG01InitialBranchTopic That'd be the College in Winterhold. I suppose you'll be headed there, then. Well, don't let me get in your way. MG01InitialBranchTopic Seen enough magic in my day to know to stay away from it. I'd stay away from the Jarl's wizard in Dawnstar too. MG01InitialBranchTopic If you wanna be a damn fool, go to the College in Winterhold instead. MG01InitialBranchTopic You lookin' for Falion? Why don't you go bother those mages at their College in Winterhold and leave my brother alone? MG01InitialBranchTopic Any aspiring mage would do well to look for the College in Winterhold. Head there, and you'll get what you're after. MG01InitialBranchTopic Although our Jarl's humble wizard might be willing to help you too. MG01InitialBranchTopic Magic? Got no good use for that here. Mages keep to their College in Winterhold. Go bother them. MG01InitialBranchTopic Wish the Jarl's wizard would up and leave with ya. MG01InitialBranchTopic Head north to Winterhold. There's a College there, they teach magic. Most Nords don't care for them. MG01InitialBranchTopic Else you could go see the Jarl's wizard. Might be able to help you. MG01InitialBranchTopic Magic? You're on the wrong side of Skyrim. You want Winterhold... that College there. They teach it. MG01InitialBranchTopic Otherwise you can try the Jarl's wizard. I wouldn't, though. MG01InitialBranchTopic Winterhold. You want the College there. They teach quite a bit. MG01InitialBranchTopic Oh, I think you'll find that magic is rare in Skyrim. Winterhold, though... The College there has it in abundance. Look there if you wish to learn. MG01InitialBranchTopic Not here. Definitely not here. You want to learn, join the College in Winterhold. They'll deal with it. MG01InitialBranchTopic Magic is... frowned upon in Skyrim. Only the mages at the College of Winterhold teach it freely. If you wish to learn, join them. MG01InitialBranchTopic A prospective student, are you? Well, I'm afraid I'm not much good at teaching. You should try your luck at the College of Winterhold. MG01InitialBranchTopic I have no time or patience for a student. Perhaps the College of Winterhold will grant you admission. MG01InitialBranchTopic That's right. College of Winterhold, just north of town. Hard to miss. MG01MirabelleStage30BranchTopic Another new student... I'm surprised at how many of you there are lately. MG01MirabelleStage30BranchTopic Well, first you'll need these. While you're not required to wear them, you may find them more to your liking than your current clothes. MG01MirabelleStage30BranchTopic I'll give you a brief tour, and then we'll get you to your first class. Are you ready to begin? MG01MirabelleStage30BranchTopic Yes, just a brief overview of our facilities. Are you ready? MG01MirabelleStage30TakeTour Wonderful. Please follow me, and don't wander off. MG01MirabelleStage30TourNotYet I see. MG01MirabelleStage30TourNotYet Well, please let me know when you are. MG01NiryaEntryDragonborn Dragonborn? MG01NiryaEntryDragonborn It's been so long since we've had any contact with the Greybeards. Do you really have the Voice? MG01NiryaEntryDragonborn I would be most impressed to see that. MG01NiryaGreetingBranch2Topic I look forward to it. MG01NiryaGreetingBranchTopic Yes, you were going to demonstrate your ability, were you not? MG01NiryaGreetingBranchTopic A standard spell for one skilled in Destruction magic is the Firebolt. Casting one at the seal on the ground here would be sufficient. MG01NiryaGreetingBranchTopic Those invested in Restoration magic find Healing Hands to be essential. Can you cast it on me? That would prove your skill. MG01NiryaGreetingBranchTopic The Fear spell has saved the life of many an Illusion mage. If you could cast it on the seal here on the ground, that would prove your skill. MG01NiryaGreetingBranchTopic The Flame Atronach is a vital companion for anyone relying on Conjuration. Summoning one here would certainly show your skill. MG01NiryaGreetingBranchTopic The Mage Light spell is useful to any mage, not just those specializing in Alteration. Can you cast one on the seal on the ground? MG01NiryaGreetingBranchTopic It would seem that you have yet to reach a level of skill that the College would find valuable, so I'm afraid I can't allow you to join at this time. MG01NiryaGreetingBranchTopic Unfortunately, one needs to be able to cast at least Apprentice level spells in any school of magic before being allowed to join the College. MG01NiryaGreetingBranchTopic And thus, you're not skilled enough to be a candidate. I'm afraid we're not interested. MG01NiryaRejectionBranchTopic Just that, I'm afraid. You lack the ability, in any school of magic, to contribute meaningfully to the College's research. MG01NiryaRejectionBranchTopic I suggest you learn more on your own. Come back once you've attained some measure of success. MG01NiryaStage10NoThanks No? Very well, it's your choice. MG01NiryaStage20BranchTopic Well done, indeed. MG01NiryaStage20BranchTopic Well, you clearly possess the minimum aptitude required. Congratulations. I'll escort you up to the gate. MG01NiryaStage20BranchTopic You'll want to speak with Mirabelle Ervine right away. And welcome to the College of Winterhold. MG01NiryaStage20MirabelleBranchTopic She's the Master-Wizard here. Arch-Mage Aren may be in charge, but Mirabelle runs the place. MG01NiryaStage20MirabelleBranchTopic You'd do well to remember that. MG01NiryaStage20MirabelleBranchTopic Please, enjoy yourself! MG01NiryaStage30BranchTopic You'll need to speak with Mirabelle Ervine. Her quarters are in the Hall of Countenance, but she could be anywhere on the grounds. MG01NiryaWhyAtGateBranchTopic I'm here to assist anyone interested in joining the College. Also, my presence tends to frighten the locals and keep them away. MG01SpellSold Here you are. Now I'm anxious to see you cast it. MG01SpellSold It's this place. It feels like home. It's just nice to finally have something going right in my life. MG01SpellSold So I'm finally seeing you with a smile on your face. MG01SpellSold Let's just hope it stays this way for a long time. MG01SpellSold Couldn't be busier. MG01SpellSold Better than ever. With the Guild back on its feet, there's more coin to throw around. How about you? MG01SpellSold How's the training going? MG01SpellSold Never. This is the best the Guild's done since I've been a part of it. MG01SpellSold Take a look around. Have you ever laid eyes on such wealth? MG01SpellSold I agree. It'll be nice to get back the respect we lost in the last few years. MG01SpellSold At this rate, the Guild won't be such a laughingstock anymore. MG01SpellSold Yeah, it's really something else, isn't it? MG01SpellSold You know, things are really starting to move around here. I mean, look at the place. I've never seen so much merchandise. MG01TolfdirClassroomScene2BranchTopic Would you mind helping me with the demonstration? Are you at all familiar with ward spells? MG01TolfdirSkipSceneDialogueTopic Yes, well. After the unfortunate incident that occurred, I think it's best if we just move on. MG01TolfdirSkipSceneDialogueTopic Noooo! MG01TolfdirSkipSceneDialogueTopic Gaaaah! MG01TolfdirSkipSceneDialogueTopic Aaaaah! MG01TolfdirStage50SceneBranchResponse1 Is that so? MG01TolfdirStage50SceneBranchResponse2 Well, your classmates certainly seem to disagree with you. MG01TolfdirStage50SceneBranchResponse3 Not going to weigh in either way? MG01TolfdirStage50SceneBranchResponse3 I admire your restraint, but there are times when you must make decisions, even without all the facts. Rely on instinct. MG01TolfdirStage50SceneBranchTopic You've been quiet so far. What do you think we should do? MG01TolfdirWardResponse1 Well, then this should be no problem at all for you. MG01TolfdirWardResponse2 That's what this lesson is for. Perfect time to try it out. MG01TolfdirWardResponse3 That's all right. I can teach you a very basic ward, one that's enough for the purposes of this lesson. MG01TolfdirWardResponseFinal Now, if you'll just stand right over there, I'll cast a spell at you, and you block it with the ward. Here we go. MG02ArnielInitialBranchTopic He what? MG02ArnielInitialBranchTopic What? MG02ArnielInitialFollowUp I've only looked through a portion of this section. You, uh, you can look around in the chambers just north of here. MG02ArnielInitialFollowUp Try and be careful, all right? We don't want to damage anything. MG02ArnielInitialNoTalkContinue You must be one of the new apprentices, then? Fine, fine. Just... just don't make a mess of my work, all right? MG02ArnielInitialTalkedContinue Ah, yes. You. I remember you. You're going to help? That's fine. Just... Just don't make a mess of my work. MG02ArnielStage30BranchTopic Just round up the rest of the magical artifacts so that I can catalog them. MG02ArnielStage40BranchTopic You found what? MG02ArnielStage40BranchTopic Hmm. Well now. Yes, this might actually be something interesting. You'd better show that to Tolfdir right away. MG02ArnielStage40BranchTopic You found what? MG02ArnielStage40BranchTopic Hmm. Well now. This is all very fascinating, but I don't recall asking to you to touch anything in here. MG02ArnielStage40BranchTopic I suppose you'd better show that to Tolfdir nonetheless. And please, ask before tampering with anything else. MG02ArnielTurnInItemsBranchTopic I see. It probably doesn't even matter now, what with the mess that's been made in here. MG02ArnielTurnInItemsBranchTopic I'll add this to the rest of the items. I don't think there's anything further I need from you. MG02BrelynaBranchTopic Why? Because it's old, and full of dead things? MG02BrelynaBranchTopic Clearly you've never spent any time in Morrowind. MG02JzargoBranchTopic Oh, yes. J'zargo hopes to find things that will make him a more powerful mage here. MG02JzargoBranchTopic Hopefully small things that fit inside pockets, and will not be noticed if they are missing. MG02MinerBranchTopic I'm just doing what I'm told. MG02MinerBranchTopic Gods, it's cold. They'd better find something good in there to make this worthwhile. MG02MinerBranchTopic As long as the College keeps paying, I'll keep digging. MG02MinerBranchTopic For thousand-year old ruins, they're not much to look at. MG02MinerBranchTopic Can't imagine what the College expects to find in here. MG02OnmundBranchTopic No. MG02OnmundBranchTopic There's no chance anyone in authority approved this. MG02OnmundBranchTopic Our ancestors should be allowed to rest in peace. MG02OnmundBranchTopic We offer this soul to The Revenant: he who watches over the opponents of Arkay and his power over life and death. Fie upon Arkay and his followers! MG02OnmundBranchTopic You have to help me, they are going to kill me! MG02OnmundBranchTopic Is there someone out there? MG02SavosFollowUp Thank you for bringing this to my attention. MG02SavosFollowUp Tolfdir normally looks after your little group, yes? MG02SavosFollowUp Since he's apparently occupied, and I will need to see this discovery for myself, I think perhaps you should begin researching the subject. MG02SavosFollowUp Speak with Urag in the Arcanaeum. See if he is aware of anything that matches your discovery. MG02SavosFollowUp And... good work. The next time you find yourself exploring Nordic ruins, perhaps this will be helpful. MG02SavosResponse1 Very well, I trust that you wouldn't be here were it not significant. MG02SavosResponse2 I... see. I trust that Tolfdir will provide a more... specific explanation. MG02SavosStage70BranchTopic Please don't tell me that another one of the apprentices has been incinerated. I have enough to deal with right now. MG02StudentExpectationBranchTopic Because Tolfdir says so. He says there are things to learn here. MG02StudentExpectationBranchTopic Hopefully we can learn something from the experience. How the ancient Nords used magic, maybe even what happened to this place. MG02StudentExpectationBranchTopic Not really. Just that it's very, very old. It was one of the first cities of men in Tamriel, I think. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Well would you look at that! MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic This appears to lead somewhere. Let's see where it goes. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic I'm not sure. I certainly wasn't expecting this. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic This appears to lead somewhere. Let's see where it goes. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Someone get that thing out of here and burn it. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Raagh! MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Enjoy this while you can. Soon you will all be slaves. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic I said, on your knees, Elf! MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Tolfdir is likely already addressing the new Apprentices. Go on in, and if you have any problems, let one of our senior members know. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Initially you'll be learning from Tolfdir, one of our most esteemed Wizards. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic This is where you'll be staying. This bed and desk are yours. Please try and be considerate of others. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Now, let's go back to the Hall of the Elements, where most of the members gather for lectures and study sessions. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Now I'll show you to your quarters. You're going to be sharing space with your fellow Apprentices, who you'll meet shortly. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Our newest members are housed here in the Hall of Attainment. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic I'll ask that you please keep your voice down while inside, as others may be working on research or... delicate experiments. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Unfortunately, we've had to implement more stringent entry procedures, due to some problems with the local Nords. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic We don't anticipate any real violence, but it never hurts to be prepared. MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic On your knees! MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic I presume you're talking to me? MG02TolfdirPlayerFreeForcegreetBranchTopic Not so fast Elf! MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic We're particularly interested in the prevalence of magical seals placed on the tombs here. It's rather unlike anything we've encountered. MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic I think so. Just hold on a moment. MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic Can you get it open? MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic Yeeaahh! There. MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic One more... pull... MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic I'm not exactly built for manual labor. Now come on, you've almost got it. MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic I'm going... as fast... as I can, you stupid she-devil. I don't see you... helping... MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic Hurry, Nazir! I'm telling you, he's in there! MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic Hurry, Nazir! I'm telling you, she's in there! MG02TolfdirQuestion01BranchTopic You must speak with Astrid. Here, in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. MG02TolfdirQuestion02BranchTopic Anything! Anything at all that might be of interest. That's why I adore this location... we have no idea what we're going to find. MG02TolfdirQuestion02BranchTopic And if, along the way, my message about the dangers of magic should happen to sink in for a few students, that would be a happy coincidence. MG02TolfdirStage10Branch2Topic No? I daresay we don't have all day. MG02TolfdirStage10Branch2Topic Still? If I have to wait much longer, you may need to just bury me here. MG02TolfdirStage10Branch2Topic Help! Get that beast out of my house! MG02TolfdirStage10Branch2Topic It's still here! Get it out! MG02TolfdirStage10Branch2Topic Get that thing out of here! MG02TolfdirStage10Branch2Topic Thank you! I thought that beast would be the end of me! MG02TolfdirStage10BranchTopic All right, please stay close to me while we're inside. It should be safe, but it's always better to be cautious. MG02TolfdirStage10BranchTopic We'd better go see. These can tend to themselves for a few minutes. MG02TolfdirStage10BranchTopic You hear that? The others must have found something! MG02TolfdirStage10BranchTopic As long as they can swing a pickaxe where I tell them, they're as smart as we need them to be. MG02TolfdirStage10BranchTopic They seem less intelligent each time you raise them, if that's even possible. MG02TolfdirStage10BranchTopic Bah. Weak-willed rabble. Even dead they're almost useless. MG02TolfdirStage10BranchTopic There goes another one. MG02TolfdirStage10BranchTopic Feel free to grab a pick and help them out. I prefer not to sully myself with manual labor. MG02TolfdirStage10BranchTopic These thralls of yours are slower than Argonians in a blizzard. MG02TolfdirStage20Init Well, are there any questions before we begin? MG02TolfdirStage20Init I'm not sure what to expect here. Please be on your guard. MG02TolfdirStage20Init What... What was that? Everything seemed to shimmer for a moment. MG02TolfdirStage20Init What happened? MG02TolfdirStage20Init And here we all are. Shall we step inside? MG02TolfdirStage20Init What could this place be? MG02TolfdirStage20Init Be prepared to defend yourself. MG02TolfdirStage20Init This is simply fascinating. MG02TolfdirStage20Init Please be careful here. The site isn't entirely secured. MG02TolfdirStage20Init Please be careful here. The site isn't entirely secured. MG02TolfdirStage20Init J'zargo finds nothing but dust in these ruins. MG02TolfdirStage20Init Do you think there's treasure here? Something to make J'zargo a powerful wizard? MG02TolfdirStage20Init Who knows what we might find in here. MG02TolfdirStage20Init You know, there might be gold somewhere in here. MG02TolfdirStage20Init To think, my ancestors destroyed the homes of Onmund's ancestors. So much bloodshed. MG02TolfdirStage20Init I'm not seeing signs of any warding magics at all. Either they're not here, or they were removed long ago. MG02TolfdirStage20Init This is better than sitting around talking about magic, don't you think? MG02TolfdirStage20Init This is exciting, isn't it? MG02TolfdirStage20Init I wonder if everyone else would be so happy to rifle through the bones of their ancestors. MG02TolfdirStage20Init Can you imagine what it was like, living here so long ago? The first men in Tamriel, here... MG02TolfdirStage20Init I'm not so sure we should be here. MG02TolfdirStage20Init I find it hard to believe this excavation was approved. MG02TolfdirStage20Init Don't touch anything! MG02TolfdirStage20Init It's going to take forever to sift through all this. MG02TolfdirStage20Init I'll be amazed if we find anything useful here. MG02TolfdirStage20Init Well, certainly none of this will benefit my research... MG02TolfdirStage20NoMoreQuestions Any enchanted items will do; the usefulness of the enchantment is irrelevant. If you find anything, the class can look it over. MG02TolfdirStage20NoMoreQuestions Find Arniel Gane. He's somewhere in the northern section of the ruins. He'll show you what to do. MG02TolfdirStage20NoMoreQuestions Ah, yes. Hmm. Well, why don't you see if you can assist Arniel Gane? He's one of our scholars, here working on cataloging our finds. MG02TolfdirStage20NoMoreQuestions I expect he'd appreciate some help in locating any additional magical artifacts here in the ruins. MG02TolfdirStage40BranchInit How in the world did that happen? MG02TolfdirStage40Followup Really? Perhaps the amulet is important somehow. Is there some way you can use it? MG02TolfdirStage40Forcegreet What in the world was that racket? Is everything all right? MG02TolfdirStage40Forcegreet Try casting a spell at the wall. See what happens! MG02TolfdirStage40Forcegreet There must be something about that amulet. Have you tried putting it on? MG02TolfdirStage50BranchTopic I... I swear I felt something rather strange just then. MG02TolfdirStage50BranchTopic What just happened? MG02TolfdirStage50BranchTopic Take great care, and know that the Order is watching. MG02TolfdirStage50BranchTopic You, mage, and you alone, have the potential to prevent disaster. MG02TolfdirStage50BranchTopic This warning is passed to you because the Psijic Order believes in you. MG02TolfdirStage50BranchTopic Judgment will be passed on your actions to come, and how you deal with the dangers ahead of you. MG02TolfdirStage50BranchTopic Judgment has not been passed, as you had no way of knowing. MG02TolfdirStage50BranchTopic Know that you have set in motion a chain of events that cannot be stopped. MG02TolfdirStage50BranchTopic Hold, mage, and listen well... MG02TolfdirStage50ResponseFollow Can you tell me more about what you saw? MG02TolfdirStage50VisionInfo1 The Psijic Order? Are you quite sure about that? That's very odd. MG02TolfdirStage50VisionInfo1 And danger ahead? Why that doesn't make any sense at all. MG02TolfdirStage50VisionInfoFollowUp The Psijics have no connection to these ruins. And no one's seen any of their order in a long time. MG02TolfdirStage50VisionInfoFollowUp Perhaps we should take a look inside these coffins... MG02TolfdirStage50VisionInfoFollowUp Now please do be careful. Who knows what we're going to find. MG02TolfdirStage50VisionResponse1 I'm afraid I didn't see anything... MG02TolfdirStage60BranchTopic I have no idea! This is amazing. Absolutely amazing. The Arch-Mage needs to be informed immediately. He needs to see this for himself. MG02TolfdirStage60BranchTopic I don't dare leave this unattended. Can you return to the College and inform Savos Aren of this discovery? Please, hurry. MG02TolfdirStage60Cell01ForcegreetBranchTopic I've never seen anything like this in Nordic ruins before. Why, just look at all these coffins! MG02TolfdirStage60Cell01ForcegreetBranchTopic This bears closer inspection. I'd like to stay a while and examine this. MG02TolfdirStage60Cell01ForcegreetBranchTopic You, however, should press on. See if you can find whatever this vision of yours mentioned. But if it is truly dangerous, be careful. MG02TolfdirStage60Cell01ForcegreetBranchTopic Go on ahead. I'll be sure and catch up with you before long. MG02TolfdirStage60Cell01ForcegreetBranchTopic I thought it high time I caught up with you. MG02TolfdirStage60Cell01ForcegreetBranchTopic Hold on, my boy. Hold on! MG02TolfdirStage60Cell01ForcegreetBranchTopic Hold on, my dear. Hold on! MG02TolfdirStage60PsijicBranchTopic They were a group of mages with a history that pre-dates the Empire. Very powerful, very secretive. MG02TolfdirStage60PsijicBranchTopic No one's seen them in well over a hundred years. They vanished, along with their sanctuary on the Isle of Artaeum. MG02TolfdirStage60PsijicBranchTopic I have no idea what connection they'd have to this place. MG02TolfdirStage70Branch2Topic Oh, I think I'll be fine. We seem to have eliminated the most pressing threat. MG02TolfdirStage70Branch2Topic It certainly seems that whoever placed this here intended for it to be well guarded. I wonder why... MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Let him know that we've unearthed something... Well, I'm not sure. Something unique, let's say. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic It's clearly magical in nature, but like nothing I've ever seen before. He should be most interested. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Your father's too easy on you, boy. I'd have you cutting wood at dawn if you were my son. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Papa says I'm not old enough yet, so I help out by patrolling the town with Lucky here. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Haven't you got some chores to do? MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic As do I. That man saved my life. I hope that someone helps him, as he once helped me. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Oh dear. I wish there was something we could do to help him. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Not well. He's convinced that his house is haunted, so he's sleeping on the street. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic And how is that old warrior doing these days? MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Yes, just this morning. It was from Logrolf. He wrote to thank us for the food we sent. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Did you read that letter from Markarth yet? MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Fine. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic That's no business of yours, son. Mind you keep your nose out of it. MG02TolfdirStage70BranchTopic Father, how come Olda's so mean to everyone? She's only ever happy when she's with Lodvar, and she's not even married to him! MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic You there. I have questions for you. MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic You were in Saarthal, yes? It has come to my attention that something was found there. MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Let's cut you loose. MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Come on, you need your hands free. MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Those binds aren't going to cut themselves. MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Let's cut you loose. MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Come on, you need your hands free. MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Those binds aren't going to cut themselves. MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Hooray for the Arch-Mage! MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Glory to the Arch-Mage! MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Well done, well done indeed! MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Congratulations! MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Long live the Arch-Mage! MG03AncanoForcegreetBranchTopic Members of the College -- your new Arch-Mage! MG03AncanoForcegreetFinal Thank you for your help. You may go now. MG03AncanoForcegreetResponse1 I know full well that you have. Please do not insult my intelligence. MG03AncanoForcegreetResponse1 Tolfdir is still there now, is he? I shall expect a full report when he returns. MG03AncanoForcegreetResponse2 I am well aware. Tolfdir is still in Saarthal, is he? I shall be expecting a full report from him when he returns. MG03AncanoForcegreetResponse3 It is my job to know these things. MG03AncanoForcegreetResponse3 My role as advisor to the Arch-Mage is aided by knowing everything that transpires here. MG03AncanoForcegreetResponse4 Something was discovered in Saarthal that was significant enough that Tolfdir sent a new member of the College, alone, to deliver word. MG03AncanoForcegreetResponse4 That sounds precisely like the sort of thing that should matter to everyone. Especially me. MG03ArrangementDealBranchTopic Fine. Take your books and leave at once. MG03ArrangementDealBranchTopic If you ever come back, I won't be so gracious. MG03ArrangementDealBranchTopic I'm waiting. MG03ArrangementDealBranchTopic You wouldn't do that, would you? You wouldn't leave me here with her! MG03ArrangementDealBranchTopic He gets the books, I get you. It's very simple. MG03ArrangementDealBranchTopic She gets the books, I get you. It's very simple. MG03ArrangementDealBranchTopic I, uhh... wait, what? MG03ArrangementDealBranchTopic Don't leave me here! MG03CallerBookPersuade Fine. Take them and be gone. Never return here, or else you'll face my full wrath. MG03CallerBookPersuade Are you attempting to threaten me? After I've been so hospitable? MG03CallerBookPersuade Well, then you won't be leaving here at all. MG03CallerBooksFavor Oh, now we're all please and thank you, are we? MG03CallerBooksFavor I'm afraid we're well beyond pleasantries. MG03CallerBooksFavor I'll allow you the opportunity to turn around, walk out that door, and never come back. I suggest you move quickly. MG03CallerBooksTrade An arrangement? After you've destroyed so much? MG03CallerBooksTrade Fine. Leave me the elf. You may go with your books. MG03CallerBooksTrade I'm afraid you don't have anything worth trading. MG03CallerBooksTrade Now, you can go back to your College and leave me be, or I can kill you. Your choice. MG03CallerInitialBranchTopic So, you're the one who barged into my home and laid waste to my projects. MG03CallerInitialBranchTopic How nice to meet you. MG03CallerInitialBranchTopic Well? What's it going to be? MG03CallerInitialBranchTopic Gerdur! MG03CallerInitialBranchTopic Looks like nobody here knows what's happened yet. Come on. Gerdur's probably working in her lumber mill. MG03CallerResponse1 Names no longer matter. You may refer to me as The Caller. MG03CallerResponse1 Now, do you have a reason for making such a mess? MG03CallerResponse2 So you're just one of Aren's lackeys? That's disappointing. You show real promise. MG03CallerResponse2 You come here, kill my assistants, disrupt my work... You've annoyed me, so I don't think I'll be giving you anything. MG03CallerWalkAway How dare you! MG03FaraldaAncanoLookingBranchTopic I'm not sure. Just... Well, mind what you tell him, all right? MG03FaraldaAncanoLookingFinal1 You're welcome. MG03FaraldaAncanoLookingFinal2 Of course. That's your choice. I just wanted to let you know. MG03FaraldaAncanoLookingResponse1 Between the two of us, there are rumors about him. That this "advisor" position he has is a sham, an excuse. MG03FaraldaAncanoLookingResponse1 That what he's really doing is spying for the Thalmor, trying to feed them information. Whether it's true, I can't say. MG03FaraldaAncanoLookingResponse1 But it never hurts to be a little suspicious, does it? MG03FaraldaAncanoLookingResponse2 No, no. Well, I don't think so. MG03FaraldaForcegreetBranchTopic There you are. I've been trying to find you. MG03FaraldaForcegreetBranchTopic I just wanted to let you know that Ancano's been asking about you. I think he's looking for you. MG03FaraldaForcegreetBranchTopic Has everyone here forgotten their training? Kill that thing! MG03FaraldaForcegreetBranchTopic Damn you mages! Aren't you good for anything? MG03FaraldaForcegreetBranchTopic I want every arrow in the sky! MG03FaraldaForcegreetBranchTopic Keep firing! MG03FaraldaForcegreetBranchTopic Lead with those arrows, dammit! MG03FaraldaForcegreetBranchTopic Up through the tower, let's go! MG03FaraldaForcegreetBranchTopic Jarl Ulfric! What is that thing? Could the legends be true? MG03MirabelleStage10FollowUp Well, perhaps it's time for some independent study. MG03MirabelleStage10FollowUp Check with Urag gro-Shub in the Arcanaeum. See if he's aware of any references to this... thing that you and Tolfdir found. MG03MirabelleStage10FollowUp I'd like to know as much as we can about it. MG03OrthornHereforBooks What? The bo... Oh. Oh dear. MG03OrthornHereforBooks I shouldn't have taken them, I know! It was stupid. I was stupid. It won't happen again. MG03OrthornHereforBooks Help me get out of here, and I'll help you find them. Please! MG03OrthornHereToRescue See? I knew Aren wouldn't leave me in here! MG03OrthornHereToRescue Hurry and get me out of this cage before they come for me! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Yes, yes! Did Arch-Mage Aren send you? He sent you to rescue me, didn't he? MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic There's a lever, right there in the center. Hurry, before more of them show up! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic You have to let me out. They're going to do something awful to me! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Please, please let me out of here! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic You may have picked up the weapons of my ancient foes, but you are not their equal! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Unslaad hokoron! Never again! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Lost funt. You are too late, Alduin! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Bahloki nahkip sillesejoor. My belly is full of the souls of your fellow mortals, Dovahkiin. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Die now and await your fate in Sovngarde! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Meyz mul, Dovahkiin. You have become strong. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic But I am Al-du-in, Firstborn of Akatosh! Mulaagi zok lot! I cannot be slain here, by you or anyone else! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic That's not funny, Bolli. People are scared. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Oh come now, what's a dragon or two compared to a day full of fishing! MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic I don't know Bolli. It's getting dangerous outside the walls. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Talen my friend, up for some fishing this week? MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic I'll tell you one thing, if you don't make peace with them soon you may get a walkout on your hands. Then we're both in trouble. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic They always try to take advantage of me. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Maybe they're afraid of you. Maybe it's your breath. How should I know? MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Why don't they listen to me, Keerava? Why won't they do as I say? MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Damn it, Talen. We still don't have enough this year to get out of Riften. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic I hope so. I can't stand this city anymore. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Don't worry, the time will come when we can walk away from here. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic That isn't an option. Maven sees me serve a competitor's brand here and we may as well dig our own graves. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic We could always look for another brand. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic If only Maven would stop raising the price on it maybe I could afford to stock more cases. MG03OrthornInitialBranchTopic Keerava, we're running low on Black-Briar Mead. MG03OrthornStage50BranchTopic I don't have them anymore. She took them... The Caller. She's the one who put me in here! MG03OrthornStage50BranchTopic Please, let me out of here! MG03OrthornStage55BranchTopic Thank you, thank you! I promise I'll help. And then I'll go back to the College and I'll beg them to let me back in. MG03OrthornStage55BranchTopic Oh, you've saved me! Thank you so much. Who knows what they'd have done to me if you hadn't come along. MG03OrthornStage55BranchTopic I promise I'll help you get out of here. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeMean I was only trying to help you, you know! MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeMean I hope the Caller turns you inside out! MG03OrthornStage55TakeaHikeNotSoNice Well, I was only trying to help. MG03OrthornStage55TakeaHikeNotSoNice Fine, I'll just save myself then. Thank you for letting me out of that cage. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeNVM I shall do my best. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikePolite Well, I... If you're sure... MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikePolite I'll just be on my way then. Please do be careful, and thank you. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Don't you need my help? MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Of course, sir. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Yes, my lord. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic As you say, my Jarl. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Damn it, Proventus. I've got war lurking just outside my gates, and this is what you offer me? This? Begone. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Yes, yes. Take care of it, Proventus. Whatever it is you're talking about... MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Proventus, you're my steward. Your job is to offer me counsel. This? This is not counsel. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Hmm... All right, yes, I see your point. Make the necessary arrangements. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Well... It's your son. Nelkir. The boy has been acting increasingly peculiar. Moreso than normal, I mean. Something really should be done... MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic We really must discuss the security here in Dragonsreach. Perhaps we could limit patrols in the city, and retain more guards here? MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic There's been talk again in the streets. A general fear that the giants may move south, and then... Well, you understand. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic One of the servants had a wonderful idea. Fireproofing Dragonsreach. In case of attack by, um... air. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic My daughter Adrianne wants to forge a new sword for you. Now, it wouldn't be a Skyforge blade, I know, but she really is quite gifted... MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic I think the time might be right for another public appearance. Maybe address the patrons at the Bannered Mare? Or visit Jorrvaskr? MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Speak. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic What is it? MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic You've got sixty seconds. Go. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Sir, we really must talk. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Balgruuf, my Jarl. A word, if I may. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic I need but a moment of your time, my lord. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Ha! Well, when you put it like that, it certainly puts things into perspective. But enough wallowing. And thank you, Danica. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Oh, you are terrible. You do know that, right? Ha ha ha ha ha. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic But it's more than that. Nazeem is obsessed with this civil war, as is all of Skyrim. I swear, it will consume us all. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Maybe Nazeem's obsession has merit. This civil war seems so big, so unceasing... I'm afraid, Danica. Afraid for us all. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic If you don't mind me saying so, Ahlam, your husband is a damn fool. Any moment spent thinking about him is a moment wasted. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Ahlam, let's be honest. Your husband is an arrogant, domineering buffoon. These are the words you used to describe him to me... remember? MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Oh dearest, who cares? So your husband is a lout. The work you do here, with me, is invaluable. The people of Whiterun know your true worth. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Now, now, my friend. You must look on the bright side. If soldiers storm the city, there's a good chance your husband may get killed. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Let those soldiers come here! You've never seen me throw incense. I could fell a giant. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Oh, it's Nazeem. He's been spending more and more time fawning over the Jarl. I swear, we're hardly ever home at the same time anymore. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic It's nothing, I just... It's Nazeem. How did we get to this point, Danica? Is there no love left between us? MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Hmm? Oh, well... To be honest, I was just thinking of Nazeem. The gap between us seems to be widening. He is just so... self-absorbed. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Something wrong, Ahlam? MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic Are you alright, Ahlam? You haven't seemed yourself today. MG03OrthornStage55TakeAHikeTopic What's wrong, dear friend? You seem... distracted today. MG03Stage10InitialBranchTopic Yes, from what I've heard I expect Tolfdir will be occupied for some time. Hmm, that is a problem, isn't it? MG03Stage10InitialBranchTopic I suppose someone else will need to look after the Apprentices for now. MG03Stage20UragFollowUp I said not anymore. Orthorn stole a number of books when he ran off to Fellglow Keep to join those Summoners. Some kind of peace offering. MG03Stage20UragFollowUp I think one of those volumes may have had some relevant information. If you want them, you'll have to talk to Orthorn. MG03Stage30UragFellglowInfoTopic Not enough to bother with it. Arch-Mage Aren's approach to these things is to just let them sort themselves out. MG03Stage30UragFellglowInfoTopic Although now it looks like you'll be doing the sorting. Good luck with that. MG03Stage30UragOrthornInfoTopic He was an Apprentice here at the College. Not very skilled, but got involved with a group of mages who took a liking to him. MG03Stage30UragOrthornInfoTopic When they left, he took off after them. Stole supplies and books from the College, I suppose as a way to ingratiate himself. MG03Stage50OrthornKeyTopic No, it's the levers in the center there. Just make sure you don't pull the wrong one. Please, hurry. I don't like being in here! MG03Stage50OrthornWhyInCageTopic They threw me in here until they were ready to use me in one of their experiments. MG03Stage50OrthornWhyInCageTopic This wasn't supposed to happen. I thought they wanted my help, not to use me as a test subject! MG03Stage55ExteriorBranchTopic Wait, what? MG03Stage55ExteriorBranchTopic I thought I was going to help you! MG03Stage55ExteriorBranchTopic We need to go upstairs, that's where she is! That's where the books are! MG03Stage55ExteriorBranchTopic No, no! This is the wrong way! MG03Stage55ExteriorFollowUp1 But... I rather thought that if I were to help, I might... Well, I might be allowed to return to the College. MG03Stage55ExteriorResponse02 Are you quite sure? I don't want to get in the way, but... MG03Stage55ExteriorResponse1 Well yes, I did. And thank you so much for helping me. MG03Stage55ExteriorResponse1 But... I rather thought that if I were to help, I might... Well, I might be allowed to return to the College. MG03Stage55ExteriorResponse1 I'm not sure where else I'd go. MG03Stage55OrthornResponse1 Ah. I see. MG03Stage55OrthornResponse1 Well, then I'll just stay behind you a little bit, and follow along quietly. MG03Stage55OrthornResponse1 Windhelm has been hard on my people. But our fortunes will turn, and we have shelter and food. MG03Stage55OrthornResponse2 Yes, of course. I said I'd tell you, didn't I? MG03Stage55OrthornResponse2 The Caller will have them. She was most interested in one of the volumes. MG03Stage55OrthornResponse2 Although not interested enough to keep me from being locked up. MG03Stage55OrthornResponse2 The... the books? Oh, I see. I thought perhaps... Well, I thought you'd come for me. MG03Stage55OrthornResponse2 But yes, the books. The Caller will have them. She was most interested in one of the volumes. MG03Stage55OrthornResponse2 Although not interested enough to keep me from being locked up. MG03Stage55Response3 Well, I guess you'll have to. MG03Stage55Response3 Bad move. MG03Stage55Response3 This won't take long. MG03Stage55Response3 Too slow. MG03Stage55Response3 This is how it's done. MG03Stage55Response3 Ah ha. MG03Stage55Response3 So it wasn't my imagination. MG03Stage55Response3 Ach, there you are. MG03Stage55Response3 Aha. MG03Stage55Response3 I've got one! MG03Stage55Response3 Stand together and we shall defeat him! MG03Stage55Response3 There he is! MG03Stage55Response3 No escape this time, foul worm! MG03Stage55Response3 Careful! MG03Stage55Response3 Uh-oh. MG03Stage55Response3 This is not good. MG03Stage55Response3 Be careful. The Forsworn are just as dangerous as they look. MG03Stage55Response3 The roads just aren't safe these days. MG03Stage55Response3 I don't have time for this. MG03Stage55Response3 Where do they keep coming from? MG03Stage55Response3 Watch out. Wolves. MG03Stage55Response3 Should have picked somebody else for your dinner. MG03Stage55Response3 If that's the way you want it. MG03Stage55Response3 Good. I can use the practice. MG03Stage55Response3 Here we go. MG03Stage55Response3 Look out! MG03Stage55Response3 On guard! MG03Stage55Response4 If you really think you can manage... MG03Stage55Response4 I mean, I'd hate to leave now and find out later you met some horrible fate at the hands of the Caller. MG03Stage55Response4 But if you insist, I suppose I'll be on my way. Thank you, and good luck. MG03Stage55Response5 Yes, let's! MG03Stage60OrthornBranchTopic Yes, you certainly do. MG03Stage60OrthornBranchTopic You'll be going back to the College, then? I, uhh... I think perhaps I'll wait a bit before venturing there myself. MG03Stage60OrthornBranchTopic Let this whole thing blow over, you know. Give certain parties a chance to forget what I may have done. MG03Stage60OrthornBranchTopic Still, you've gotten me out of that cage, and I won't forget it. Thank you again, and good luck to you. MG03Stage60OrthornBranchTopic Have the books, do you? I mean, I'm very glad. That's wonderful. MG03Stage60OrthornBranchTopic You could, you know, let me out of this cage now. MG03Stage60UragBranchTopic Well, well. And you seem to be in one piece! MG03Stage60UragBranchTopic Thank you. I'll look these over, and inform Mirabelle if I find anything relevant. MG03Stage60UragBranchTopic "Night of Tears", eh? I remember this one. Well, isn't that interesting. MG03Stage60UragBranchTopic Did you read it yourself? If I recall it correctly, that has some interesting implications. You should mention that to Tolfdir. MG03Stage60UragBranchTopic And... here. I suppose you've earned these. MG03UragCavernInfoTopic Let's just call it a "difference of opinion" with the College. MG03UragCavernInfoTopic They were interested in research that goes outside the bounds of what the College allows, so they were... persuaded to leave. MG03UragStage20InitialTopic I know what you want. Word travels fast around here. Discovered some big mystery, huh? MG03UragStage20InitialTopic Well you don't even need to ask. No, I don't have anything for you. Not anymore, anyway. MG03_VampirePrisonerHello Out of the way, meat. MG03_VampirePrisonerHello The Arcanaeum is located above the hall, and the Arch-Mage's quarters above that. MG04MiddenTopic Underneath the College. It's not the nicest place, so if you go down there, please do be careful. MG04MirabelleAugurInfoBranchTopic Very well. It's not something often discussed, as it might be... misunderstood by the locals. MG04MirabelleAugurInfoBranchTopic The Augur is down in the Midden, below the College. I don't recommend going down there unless it's absolutely necessary. MG04SavosWhatDidMonkWantTopic Beyond asking for you, he never said. Very strange indeed. MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic I need you to come with me immediately. Let's go. MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic I suppose we'll continue this at some later time, when we can avoid interruptions. MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic Well, I'm quite sure I've never been interrupted like this before... the audacity!... MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic Yes, I've no doubt of its gravity. This, however, is a matter that cannot wait. MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic This is most inappropriate! We are involved in serious research here! MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic Now, I... MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic I'm afraid I must intrude. It is urgent that I speak with your associate immediately. MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic Arch-Mage Aren is already hard at work, and hopefully we'll have more information soon. MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic Now, I'm not sure that you're quite as attuned as I am, given my extensive years of experience, but can you feel that? MG04Stage10AncanoBranchTopic I'm sure you've already noticed the markings. They're quite unlike anything we've seen before. MG04Stage20AncanoBranchBlocker I said let's go. Now. MG04Stage20AncanoBranchTopic Really? Well, allow me to clarify the situation. MG04Stage20AncanoBranchTopic I'd like to know why there's someone claiming to be from the Psijic Order here in the College. MG04Stage20AncanoBranchTopic More importantly, I'd like to know why he's asking for you specifically. MG04Stage20AncanoBranchTopic So we're going to go have a little chat with him, and find out exactly what it is he wants. MG04Stage20AncanoHallBranchTopic Now, you are going to speak to this... Monk... and find out why he is here, and then he will be removed from College grounds. MG04Stage20AncanoQuestion1BranchTopic I'll be the one asking the questions. MG04Stage20AncanoQuestion1BranchTopic All you need to know is that the Psijic Order is a rogue organization, believing themselves to be above the law. MG04Stage20AncanoQuestion1BranchTopic They have clashed with the Aldmeri Dominion before, and I have no intention of allowing that to happen here. MG04Stage20AncanoQuestion2BranchTopic Technically, that is true. But I still report to the Aldmeri Dominion, and I cannot ignore this situation. MG04Stage20AncanoQuestion2BranchTopic Don't worry, you can return to your petty squabbles and meaningless 'research' as soon as this matter is resolved. MG04Stage30AncanoPreSceneBranchTopic Find out why he's here, and what he wants. MG04Stage30QuaranirAugurWhereBranchTopic I... I am unsure. He is somewhere within the College. Surely one of your colleagues must know his location. MG04Stage30QuaranirAugurWhereBranchTopic I am sorry I cannot provide you with further help, but this conversation requires a great deal of effort on my part. MG04Stage30QuaranirAugurWhoBranchTopic He was once a student here at the College. Now he is... something different. MG04Stage30QuaranirBranchTopic I'd simply like to talk to you. MG04Stage30QuaranirFinalBranchTopic Now, I am afraid I must leave you. We will continue to watch over you, and guide you as best we can. MG04Stage30QuaranirFinalBranchTopic It is within you to succeed. Never forget that. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1BranchTopic I've given us a chance to speak privately, but I'm afraid I can't do this for long. We must be brief. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1BranchTopic The situation here at your College is of dire importance, and attempts to contact you as we have previously have failed. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1BranchTopic I believe it is due to the very source of our concern. This object... The Eye of Magnus as your people have taken to calling it. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1BranchTopic The energy coming from it has prevented us from reaching you with the visions you have already seen. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1BranchTopic The longer it remains here, the more dangerous the situation becomes. And so I have come here personally to tell you it must be dealt with. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1Final1 You must understand, the Psijic Order does not typically... intervene directly in events. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1Final1 My presence here will be seen as an affront to some within the Order, and as soon as we have finished, I will be leaving your College. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1Final1 I'm all too aware that my arrival has aroused suspicion, especially in Ancano, your Thalmor associate. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1Final1 Nevertheless, my Order will not act directly. You must take it upon yourself to do so. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1Response1 I'm afraid it's not that simple. MG04Stage30QuaranirFollowUp1Response2 You set this chain of events in motion at Saarthal. MG04Stage30QuaranirInitial02BranchTopic I merely wish to talk to you. MG04Stage30QuaranirInitial02BranchTopic Please do not be alarmed. I mean you no harm. MG04Stage30QuaranirOrderQuestionBranchTopic I presume you refer to Ancano's distaste for the Psijic Order? MG04Stage30QuaranirOrderQuestionBranchTopic The Thalmor see our Order as a threat because we have power, and we will not allow them to control us. MG04Stage30QuaranirOrderQuestionBranchTopic I assure you that we mean you no harm. MG04Stage30QuaranirProblem1BranchTopic As you may have learned, this object... The Eye... is immensely powerful. MG04Stage30QuaranirProblem1BranchTopic This world is not ready for it. If it remains here, it will be misused. MG04Stage30QuaranirProblem1BranchTopic Indeed, many in the Order believe it has already... Rather, something will happen soon, something that cannot be avoided. MG04Stage30QuaranirProblem1Final1 I fear I have already overstepped the bounds of my Order, but I will offer this: seek out the Augur of Dunlain here in your College. MG04Stage30QuaranirProblem1Final1 His perception may be more coherent than ours. MG04Stage30QuaranirProblem1Response1 We believe the your efforts should be directed towards dealing with the aftermath, but we cannot predict what that will be. MG04Stage30QuaranirProblem1Response2 Unfortunately, the future is as obscured to us as it is to you. The overwhelming power of the Eye makes it difficult for us to see. MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic I'm not sure what just happened but I assure you I will get to the bottom of it. MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic I am not "up to" anything. I apologize if I have offended in any way. MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic What? What trickery is this? You're not going anywhere until I find out what you're up to! MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic There's been a misunderstanding. Clearly I should not be here. I shall simply take my leave. MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic Don't play coy. You asked to see a specific member of the College. Here he is. Now what is it that you want? MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic Don't play coy. You asked to see a specific member of the College. Here she is. Now what is it that you want? MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand. MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic Well? What is the meaning of this? MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic None can stand against the Wolf Queen! MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic I can see to that. We'll need plenty of fresh corpses to rebuild her army, you see. MG04Stage40AncanoGreetBranchTopic You've come far, mortal. No doubt you seek to enter Potema's Sanctum. MG04Stage40AncanoGreetFollowUp Whatever it is those Psijics are up to. They cannot be trusted. MG04Stage40AncanoGreetFollowUp For all we know, he's here to scout out the College. I'm sure they want to undermine our efforts. MG04Stage40AncanoGreetFollowup2 This! This... Orb. The Eye of Magnus, whatever you want to call it. It's clearly powerful, and no doubt they want it for themselves! MG04Stage40AncanoGreetFollowup2 I expect to be informed if they make any future attempts to contact you. MG04Stage40AugurBranchTopic I am that which you have been seeking. MG04Stage40AugurBranchTopic Your efforts are in vain. It has already begun. MG04Stage40AugurBranchTopic But those who have sent you have not told you what they seek. What you seek. MG04Stage40AugurNeed1 You, and those aiding you, wish to know more about the Eye of Magnus. You wish to avoid the disaster of which you are not yet aware. MG04Stage40AugurNeed1 To see through Magnus' Eye without being blinded, you require his staff. MG04Stage40AugurNeed1 Events now spiral quickly towards the inevitable center, so you must act with haste. Take this knowledge to your Arch-Mage. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic The Augur? Really? Well, it's certainly not my place to say anything about it. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic I think you'd better go see Mirabelle Ervine. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic What? The Augur? Oh no, I'm quite sure that's... He's nothing I'm involved in. No, no. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Mirabelle Ervine... Or Tolfdir. They're qualified to discuss him. Not me, definitely not. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic It's not enough that you've stolen the spotlight with this Eye thing, now you're looking for the Augur? MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic I'm not sure what you're playing at, but you'd do well to remember your place around here. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic The Augur? Tragic story, really. At least, the way I heard it. But that was a long time ago. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic It was some experiment gone horribly wrong. Ghastly results, I was told. And his ghost still roams the halls, they say. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Of course, on further reflection, that may have simply been an attempt to scare me. Hmm. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Perhaps I'll ask Tolfdir what really happened. I understand he was here at the time. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Oh, no. No, that won't do at all. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Not my problem. Not even a little. Take it to Tolfdir, he's supposed to be looking after you lot. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic That's nothing you need to concern yourself with. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic The what of what? No. No idea. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic If it's important, maybe Tolfdir knows. He seems to know a lot. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Huh? That sounds ominous. Are you getting yourself into even more trouble? MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Did you ask Mirabelle? She runs things around here, after all. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic I've never heard of anything like that. Did you ask Tolfdir? He's been here a long time, and seems to know almost everything. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic The what? MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic No. No, I'm quite sure I have no idea what you're talking about. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic I suggest you mind your own business and return to whatever it is you do here. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Well now, there's a name I haven't heard in some time. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic My goodness, it's been years since I've spoken with him. I suppose he's still down in the Midden, but I haven't checked. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Are you going to see him? Do tell him "hello" for me, won't you? MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Has Tolfdir been telling stories again? I thought I made it quite clear that this was a subject inappropriate for conversation. MG04Stage40AugurQuestionBranchTopic Please don't allow him to continue to discuss the subject. MG04Stage40AugurResponse1 Indeed. And so you have come looking, though you do not know why. MG04Stage40AugurResponse1 Like others before you, you blindly follow a path to your own destruction. MG04Stage40AugurResponse1 The Thalmor came seeking answers as well, unaware they will be his undoing. MG04Stage40AugurResponse1 Your path now follows his, though you will arrive too late. MG04Stage40AugurResponse2 You seek that which all who wield magic seek. Knowledge. MG04Stage40AugurResponse2 You shall find this: Knowledge will corrupt. It will destroy. It will consume. MG04Stage40AugurResponse2 You seek meaning, shelter in Knowledge. You will not find it. MG04Stage40AugurResponse2 The Thalmor sought the same thing, and it shall lead to his end as it has so many others. MG04Stage40AugurThalmor1 The one who calls himself Ancano. MG04Stage40AugurThalmor1 He seeks information about the Eye, but what he will find shall be quite different. MG04Stage40AugurThalmor1 His path will cross yours in time, but first you must find that which you need. MG04Stage40AugurThalmor2 No, though you may be the last. The one who calls himself Ancano has sought my knowledge as well, through very different questions. MG04Stage40AugurThalmor2 Your path differs from most. You are being guided, pushed towards something. MG04Stage40AugurThalmor2 It is a good path, one untraveled by many. It is a path that can save your College. I will tell you what you need to know to follow it further. MG04Stage40SavosBranchTopic I'm... I'm not sure what happened. MG04Stage40SavosBranchTopic A monk from the Psijic Order, here, after all these years, and then he just leaves. MG04Stage40SavosBranchTopic I hope we didn't offend him somehow. MG04Stage50ArenAugur1 Did you really? MG04Stage50ArenAugur1 And he specifically mentioned the Staff of Magnus? MG04Stage50ArenAugur1 I... I'm impressed with your initiative. Of course, someone will need to follow up on this. MG04Stage50ArenEnd Something as specific and ancient as the Staff of Magnus... I'm not sure we'd ever find something like that... MG04Stage50ArenEnd I seem to recall Mirabelle mentioning the staff somewhat recently. Why don't you see if she can tell you anything? MG04Stage50ArenEnd I'm quite pleased with your progress, you know. You've certainly proven yourself to be more than a mere Apprentice. Well done. MG04Stage50ArenEnd This circlet once proved invaluable to me. I hope it can be of use to you now. MG04Stage50ArenFinal1 I certainly do. MG04Stage50ArenFinal1 Since you went so far as seek out the Augur for advice, I thought you'd be more enthusiastic. MG04Stage50ArenFinal2 A most impressive attitude. Keep this up, and you'll do quite well for yourself. MG04Stage50ArenFollowUp1 I'm sorry, what? MG04Stage50ArenFollowUp1 Well... I'd certainly love to have such a powerful staff, but I'm not really sure that any of us need it. MG04Stage50ArenResponse1 And how do you know this? MG04Stage50SavosArenBranchTopic Really? And what might that be? MG04TolfdirStage10BranchTopic Did he now? MG04TolfdirStage10BranchTopic Does he have information about our wonderful discovery? MG04TolfdirStage10FollowUp I just can't seem to tear myself away. Whatever this is, its beauty is like nothing I've ever seen before. MG04TolfdirStage10FollowUp If you'd allow me to indulge myself for a moment, I thought I might make a few observations... MG04TolfdirStage10Response1 Is that the one about something buried beneath Saarthal? Something that men and mer fought over? MG04TolfdirStage10Response1 I'll have to make a point of re-reading it. I don't recall the details. MG04TolfdirStage10Response2 Ah, yes. Well, I'll be sure and stop by the Arcanaeum later. MG05FaraldaStage30BranchTopic What's going on? What happened in there? MG05FaraldaStage30BranchTopic What's going on? What happened in there? MG05FaraldaStage30Response1 It 'may be' in danger? Take a look. I don't think there's much question. MG05FaraldaStage30Response1 Let's get down there. We have to do something. MG05FaraldaStage30Response1 That's certainly an understatement. I've never seen anything like this! MG05FaraldaStage30Response1 Well, I suppose we can't just stand here. We'd better do something. MG05FaraldaStage30Response2 We'll go with you, but when this is all over I want an explanation. MG05FaraldaStage30Response2 We'll go with you, but when this is all over I want an explanation. MG05FaraldaStage30Response2 I'll go with you, but when this is all over I want an explanation. MG05FaraldaStage30Response2 I'll go with you, but when things are back to normal I want an explanation. MG05MirabelleExplosionBranchTopic I'll be fine. I just need a minute to catch my breath. Find Savos... MG05Stage25TolfdirResponse1 By the Nine... MG05Stage25TolfdirResponse1 Is he responsible for this? The Arch-Mage, dead? MG05Stage25TolfdirResponse1 There's more. Something's happened to Winterhold. It must be whatever Ancano did. You need to get out there and make sure it's safe. MG05Stage25TolfdirResponse1 Quickly now, quickly! I'll find Mirabelle and see if we can't put a stop to this! MG05Stage25TolfdirResponse2 I can hardly believe it. MG05Stage25TolfdirResponse2 But there's no time. Whatever happened here has affected Winterhold as well. I need you to get out there and make sure everything's all right. MG05Stage25TolfdirResponse2 I'll do what I can here. Go now, go! MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic What? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Are you... Are you sure? The staff is there? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic That can't be a coincidence. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic As usual. I've always got an eye on the rocks. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Not too bad. Careful around the more obvious scorchers. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic How's the mine today? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Well, you send that blowhard to me if he steps over the line. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Nothing I can't handle. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Kjeld bothering you again? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic You're busy. I'll come back later. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic No, I've been busy trying to keep the whole mine from collapsing, if that's all right with you. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Is the new shaft cleared yet? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic All right, I'll take a look at it. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Well I nearly lost my eyebrows to it. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Again? But there shouldn't be any earthstreams over there. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Roggi tell you about the scorcher we found under the scaffolding? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Well... just get it done. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic And if you don't let me secure the steam channel, your leg could get blown off. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic So go dig at the other corner for a bit. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Woman, there's a vein of malachite as thick as my leg back there. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic What did I tell you about snooping around my wards? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic They're none of her business, and none of yours either. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic What's your wife think of your trips? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Not sure. Feeling like taking another trip. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic You going to be at the inn tonight? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Again with the mead! MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic I don't know. Maybe because it makes the mead taste that much better at night. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic How do you stay cheery down in these blazes? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic I'd like the fresh air better, but this isn't so bad. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Sweltering in here. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Always. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic She hasn't had a chance to look at it yet. Just be careful over there. MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Does Dravynea know? MG05Stage50LabyrinthianTopic Found another one of those vents in back near the scaffold. MG05Stage50MirabelleBranchTopic Wish I could say the same for us. MG05Stage50MirabelleBranchTopic Tolfdir and I can try and keep this contained. You need to get your hands on the Staff of Magnus. Now. MG05Stage50MirabelleBranchTopic It's coming loose. I can feel it. MG05Stage50MirabelleBranchTopic Don't stop. Keep cutting. MG05Stage50MirabelleBranchTopic That's it. Keep hacking at it. MG05Stage50MirabelleFinal He... He gave me something just a little while ago. MG05Stage50MirabelleFinal He told me it was from Labyrinthian, and that I would know what to do with it when the time came. MG05Stage50MirabelleFinal I think... I think he meant this for you, then. I'm not sure why, but there was something very personal about it for him. MG05Stage50MirabelleFinal Also, I think you should take this amulet. It belonged to Savos, but I think would do you the most good now. MG05Stage50MirabelleFinal Take it, and get out of here. Bring back that staff before Ancano brings the whole College down around us. MG05Stage50MirabelleFollowUp1 The Arch-Mage. MG05Stage50MirabelleFollowUp2 Savos. Before... before he died. MG05Stage50MirabelleResponse1 I've got to stay here, to see if we can get to Ancano and stop this. I need someone I can trust to do it. MG05Stage50MirabelleResponse1 Besides, you're the one having all of these visions, aren't you? MG05Stage50MirabelleResponse2 I certainly hope so. I don't know how long we can keep this up. MG05Stage50MirabelleResponse2 At least tell me where you're going, so we can send someone after you if you don't come back. MG05Stage50MirabelleResponse3 You were told to find it, weren't you? MG05Stage50MirabelleResponse3 If the stories about the staff are true, if it really can absorb a tremendous amount of power, maybe we can break through Ancano's magic. MG05TolfdirForceGreetBranchTopic Are you all right? What happened in there? MG05TolfdirForceGreetBranchTopic Delvin, Vex... watch the Flagon. If you see Mercer, come tell me right away. MG05TolfdirForceGreetBranchTopic Vex! Put it away... right now. MG05TolfdirForceGreetBranchTopic We can't afford to lose our heads... we need to calm down and focus. MG05TolfdirForceGreetBranchTopic That son-of-a-bitch! I'll kill him! MG05TolfdirForceGreetBranchTopic The gold, the jewels... it's all gone. MG06CrystalHelp You found... how in the world... MG06CrystalHelp That's it. That's it! I don't know who you are, but you may have just saved this little project... MG06CrystalHelp In fact, who are you, anyway? MG06CrystalHelp I don't know what sort of help you expect from me, but if you can actually find the crystal I'd certainly be grateful. MG06CrystalHelpFollowUp You are, are you? MG06CrystalHelpFollowUp Savos wouldn't even grant us an audience when we came to you, but now you come here expecting something from me? MG06CrystalHelpFollowUp I don't much like this, I'll tell you. But you've saved my skin, so maybe I can overlook the past for now. MG06CrystalHelpFollowUp Come on, I'll explain on the way. MG06MirabelleStaffExtraInfoTopic I'm not really sure. Made and used by Magnus himself, if you believe those sorts of things. MG06MirabelleStaffExtraInfoTopic I believe I've heard it said that it's the only thing that could adequately contain his power. MG06MirabelleStaffExtraInfoTopic The sort of embellishment wizards of ancient times loved to make. MG06MirabelleStage10BranchTopic Well now that's an odd question. Why in the world would you be asking? MG06MirabelleStage30BranchTopic Really? MG06MirabelleStage30BranchTopic Well, I do recall warning them it might not be the safest of locations. I hope this doesn't become a problem for us. MG06MirabelleStage30BranchTopic Were you able to learn anything? MG06ParatusCrystalBranchTopic It didn't work the first time. I tried to tell Gavros, but he wouldn't listen. "No, it won't be too cold" he said. MG06ParatusCrystalBranchTopic Well, I was right, wasn't I? Focused completely wrong by the time we got here! The cold had warped it! MG06ParatusCrystalBranchTopic Gavros had to cart it all the way back to Cyrodiil. Left the rest of us here to fend off the damnable Falmer. MG06ParatusInitialBranchTopic What are you doing here? What've you done with Gavros? MG06ParatusInitialResponse1 It was the Falmer, wasn't it? Curse them! They've ruined everything! MG06ParatusInitialResponse1 If Gavros is gone, there's no hope. He was supposed to return with the crystal... Without that, all our efforts are wasted. MG06ParatusInitialResponse1 And you. If you're here for treasure, or wisdom, or anything, I'm afraid you've wasted your time. MG06ParatusInitialResponse2 And just why would you be doing that? MG06ParatusInitialResponse2 Oh, it doesn't matter now. Gavros is never coming back, and he was supposed to have the crystal. Without that, we're lost. MG06ParatusInitialResponse2 It's all been for nothing. MG06ParatusInitialResponse2 So congratulations, whoever you are, you've found the Synod. Just me, alone, surrounded by angry machines and angrier Falmer. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic Now the crystal needs to be focused. It was created so far away, we knew that some adjustments would have to be made. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic Heating and cooling the crystal will cause it to expand or contract, which will change how the light passes through it. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic You'll need to use spells to do that. Being from the College, I assume you know them already. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic There should be a few basic tomes around here somewhere in case your training is even more sub-standard than I've heard. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic You'll have to get the crystal to focus properly. Heat and cold will affect it; simple concentration spells should be enough. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic You'll also need to align the mirrors using the controls up above. Once everything is lined up, the light will reflect back through the crystal. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic Then you'll see some real magic. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic Place the crystal in the center of the armillary. Then we can worry about attuning it. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic What are you playing at? Is this some attempt to stall my work?! MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic Something in Winterhold, it looks like. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic Something is creating an incredible amount of interference. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic ...but what's this? These results... They're not at all what they should be. MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic Years of work, finally going to pay off... MG06ParatusOculoryActionBranchTopic Nothing to do now but sit back, relax, and enjoy the trip home. MG06ParatusStaffBranchTopic Are you? MG06ParatusStaffBranchTopic Well. I'm afraid I can't help you with that. I need the crystal to do anything useful, and I don't have it. MG06ParatusStaffBranchTopic *Sigh*... and that's the last one. All right, enough of this. MG06ParatusStaffBranchTopic C'mon, let's get something to eat. MG06ParatusStage35BranchTopic Ha! So you did. MG06ParatusStage35BranchTopic I was almost beginning to think Gavros had gone and gotten himself killed just to spite me. MG06ParatusStage35BranchTopic Well, with the Falmer skulking around I can't very well do this on my own. I guess you'll have to come with me. MG06ParatusStage35BranchTopic I'll explain on the way. MG06ParatusStage55BranchTopic So, what is it? What have you done? MG06ParatusStage55BranchTopic Did you know what we were attempting? Are you here to make sure your plan worked, that our efforts have been for nothing? MG06ParatusStage55BranchTopic Well, explain yourself! MG06ParatusStage55BranchTopic You've done it! That's all of them! MG06ParatusStage55BranchTopic Almost there! We're so close! MG06ParatusStage55Eye1 The Eye of Magnus? MG06ParatusStage55Eye1 Well, I suppose if that means what I think it does... MG06ParatusStage55Eye1 Well, that's interesting.... MG06ParatusStage55Eye2 Well, now. This I hadn't considered. MG06ParatusStage55Eye2 If that's taken into account, these results make more sense. MG06ParatusStage55Eye3 So you do have something, then. MG06ParatusStage55Eye3 Whether this was intentional or not, it suggests some interesting results. MG06ParatusStage55FindStaff1 Yes, the staff. Interesting... MG06ParatusStage55FindStaff2 You're looking for something, yes? The... Staff of Magnus. MG06ParatusStage55FindStaff2 Well, even if you are trying to ruin my work, there's still something to be learned here. MG06ParatusStage55FollowUp1 How did you do it? MG06ParatusStage55FollowUp2 You have something at your College, don't you? Something immensely powerful. Beyond anything I'd anticipated. What is it? MG06ParatusStage55Response1 You and your College have ruined years of my work, I've lost colleagues and friends to the Falmer, and you want me to calm down? MG06ParatusStage55Response1 Damn rebels. MG06ParatusStage55Response1 That the best Ulfric has? MG06ParatusStage55Response1 That's how the Legion fights. MG06ParatusStage55Response1 Victory... for now. MG06ParatusStage55Response1 Ever onward. MG06ParatusStage55Response1 I'll never get tired of killing these Imperial bastards. MG06ParatusStage55Response1 That the best the Legion has? Heh. MG06ParatusStage55Response1 See you in Sovngarde. MG06ParatusStage55Response1 That's how a true Nord fights. MG06ParatusStage55Response1 Another day, another victory. MG06ParatusStage55Response2 Go wrong? Go wrong? MG06ParatusStage55Response2 Everything is wrong! Everything! Whatever you have at that College has completely interfered with our work here. MG06ParatusStage55Response3 You show up here just as our work nears completion, and now I can't get any results from this because of something at your College. MG06ParatusStage55Response3 Do you think me a fool? Do you think I'm too stupid to make the connection? You've ruined my work! MG06ParatusStage55Response4 But it must be something you're doing. There's no other explanation... MG06ParatusStage55Response5 Either you're lying to me, or... MG06ParatusStage55Response6 Just look! MG06ParatusStage55Response6 This should be lit up brighter than the night sky, and it's not! Clearly you've interfered somehow. Or... MG06ParatusStage55WillHeEverStopTalkingBranchTopic So, mage from Winterhold, despite your intentions I've beaten your little game. MG06ParatusStage55WillHeEverStopTalkingBranchTopic Even if all you've said here is lies, I know you have something in Winterhold the Synod Council will be very interested in. MG06ParatusStage55WillHeEverStopTalkingBranchTopic So fine, trudge off to Labyrinthian in search of your Staff. I shall return to Cyrodiil and deliver my full report to the Council. MG06ParatusStage55WillHeEverStopTalkingBranchTopic This is not over, I assure you. MG06ParatusStage55WillHeEverStopTalkingBranchTopic Hopefully these gifts will put us in her good graces, secure that import deal, and lead the way to an audience with the Emperor. MG06ParatusStage55WillHeEverStopTalkingBranchTopic I told you, it's the wedding of Vittoria Vici, an extremely well connected merchant with the East Empire Company. The Emperor's cousin? Remember? MG06ParatusStage55WillHeEverStopTalkingBranchTopic Why are we even going to a wedding at this far flung end of the Empire anyway? MG06ParatusStage55WillHeEverStopTalkingBranchTopic Come along, no more stops, we need to find our way to Solitude. MG06ParatusStage60CrazyBranchTopic Am I? Am I? MG06ParatusStage60CrazyBranchTopic I think I've discovered more here than I could've hoped to. MG06ParatusStage60CrazyBranchTopic Your trickery won't confuse me! MG06ParatusStage60StaffBranchTopic Well, yes. Probably. MG06ParatusStage60StaffBranchTopic I mean, yes. Certainly it is, but that doesn't matter now, because I know you're hoarding something even more important at your College. MG06ParatusStage60StaffBranchTopic The Council will be informed of this. They will find out what you're up to. MG06ParatusSynodBranchTopic I am on official business of the Grand Council of the Synod. That's all you need to know. MG06ParatusSynodBranchTopic I might well ask the same of you, running around by yourself in this dangerous place. MG06SavosWhyFindStaffTopic I don't know. If the Augur suggested it, there must be a good reason for locating it. MG06SavosWhyFindStaffTopic I'm afraid I don't see the connection, though. MG06Stage10MirabelleEyeResponse1 Well, it's said to be very powerful. Has the capacity to store an incredible amount of magical power, as the story goes. MG06Stage10MirabelleEyeResponse1 But it's more myth than anything at this point. I've no doubt that it actually exists, but no one has seen it in what, decades? Longer? I'm not sure. MG06Stage10MirabelleEyeResponse1 The only time I've heard it mentioned was when those Synod characters showed up some months ago looking for it. MG06Stage10MirabelleEyeResponse2 The Augur? MG06Stage10MirabelleEyeResponse2 Just what have you gotten yourself involved in? MG06Stage10MirabelleEyeResponse2 Whatever is going on, whatever you're up to... Be very careful. MG06Stage10MirabelleReason1 I see. Well yes, I suppose I did mention it, though I'm not sure what he expects me to tell you. MG06Stage10MirabelleReason1 I only brought it to his attention a few months back when the Synod showed up here looking for it. MG06Stage10MirabelleReason1 They were apparently under the impression we were keeping it in a closet somewhere. MG06Stage10MirabelleReason2 But let's not jump to any conclusions, or assign it importance beyond what we're certain of. MG06Stage10MirabelleReason2 The "Eye of Magnus"? MG06Stage10MirabelleReason2 I can appreciate that this... thing, this Orb... It's very impressive. Very unique, and definitely worth studying. MG06Stage10MirabelleSynod1 Mages based out of Cyrodiil. They fancy themselves the Imperial Authority on magic these last few hundred years. MG06Stage10MirabelleSynod1 My understanding is that all they really do is make noise in an attempt to curry favor from the Emperor. Lots of politics, little magic. MG06Stage10MirabelleSynod1 I was quite surprised to find them on our doorstep. They seemed amiable enough, but their line of questioning made me... uneasy. MG06Stage10MirabelleSynod1 It became clear they're trying to hoard powerful artifacts, looking to consolidate power. MG06Stage10MirabelleSynodStaff1 No one here does. MG06Stage10MirabelleSynodStaff1 The Synod seemed convinced it was somewhere in Skyrim. They inquired about the ruins of Mzulft, but that's all I remember. MG06Stage10MirabelleSynodStaff1 It sounded like they were heading there, though they were rather secretive about why. MG06Stage10MirabelleSynodStaff1 I suppose if you're intent on looking for the staff, there's a chance they might be in Mzulft yet. Just don't expect them to be cooperative. MG06Stage30MirabelleFollowUp1 I warned them it might be dangerous. It's not my fault they didn't listen. MG06Stage30MirabelleFollowUp1 As long as the Synod don't blame us for this mess, I have more pressing matters to deal with. MG06Stage30MirabelleResponse1 Hmm. I can't say I've any idea what they were up to. Have you found this observatory? MG06Stage30MirabelleResponse1 You might be able to learn something from it. Keep looking, but be careful. MG06Stage30MirabelleResponse2 I can't imagine what that might be, but if it's safe, you might see if they were successful. MG06Stage30MirabelleResponse2 You could get some useful information about whatever they were up to. Sounds like it won't be of use to them now, anyway. MG06Stage60ArenBranchTopic Ancano. He's in there, doing... something. We don't know what. We're trying to get in now. MG06Stage60ArenBranchTopic I will have his head for this, I assure you. MG06Stage60ArenBranchTopic Help take this down, will you? We're throwing everything we can at it. MG06Stage60ArenBranchTopic I don't care what it is, I want it down now! I want to know what he's doing in there! MG06Stage60ArenBranchTopic Hear me! MG06Stage60ArenStaffBranchTopic Excellent. I'd suggest that we go retrieve it immediately, but right now we have more pressing matters. MG06Stage60ArenStaffBranchTopic Ancano has somehow locked himself in the hall. He's up to something, and I intend to put a stop to it. MG06Stage60ArenStaffBranchTopic Help us get through this, will you? We're throwing everything we have at it. MG06Stage60ArenStaffBranchTopic Now's not the time. We need to put a stop to whatever it is that's going on. MG06Stage99BranchTopic Are you all right? Can you walk? MG06Stage99BranchTopic I need you on your feet. We're in trouble here. MG06Stage99BranchTopic Don't go near him! MG06Stage99BranchTopic Ancano! Stop this at once! I command you! MG06Stage99BranchTopic What's going on?! MG06Stage99Response1 Ancano is doing something with that thing... the Eye. We can't stop him! MG06Stage99Response1 I haven't seen Savos since the explosion. He must've been blown clear, and he may be injured. MG06Stage99Response1 I need you to find the Arch-Mage, and I need you to do it quickly. Get moving! MG06WhatsCrystalFor It was a brilliant idea, really. Mostly mine, though Gavros took the credit. MG06WhatsCrystalFor Secret, though. Official Synod business. Can't talk about it. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Tolfdir as Master Wizard. Certainly didn't anticipate that. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic And to think, Mirabelle questioned my allowing you into the College. I can just imagine the look on her face now. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic If you need any help with Destruction spells, please let me know. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Mirabelle does a fine job as Master Wizard, I suppose. Still, there's always room for improvement. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I can't wait to see who succeeds Mirabelle. I've no doubt she'll be promoted to Arch-Mage at some point. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Certainly a few of my colleagues aren't quite as talented as they'd like to believe. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Savos Aren is wise beyond his years. He knows real talent when he sees it. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I'm sure when the time for promotions comes, they'll go to the most deserving mage. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Don't you think I'd make a wonderful Master Wizard? Maybe even Arch-Mage someday? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Nasty business with that Ancano fellow. Pity that I was unable to assist, but I was... otherwise occupied. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I care little for idle conversation, but perhaps you need help with Conjuration magic? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic There are few places where one can pursue my type of work without fear of persecution. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic That 'incident' in Morthal was just a misunderstanding. No matter what the guards claim. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic The people of Skyrim have no appreciation for what we do here. Not that I care. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Should you ever fall victim to an unfortunate accident, I promise your remains will be put to good use... MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Why are my research materials constantly disappearing? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Once again, I have found very insulting notes left in my personal effects. Simply barbaric. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Just because I don't fit in here is no reason for others to ridicule me behind my back. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Ancano is exactly why we're so restrictive about access to the College. We'd all have perished if it weren't for you. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I'm sure you've made note of who's been the most helpful during your time here, Arch-Mage. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic May I just say, it's a pleasure to have you leading the College. Really. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic If there's ever any way I can assist you, please let me know. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I think the College is due for a change in leadership. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic If you're working on any experiments, please clean up after yourself. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Just like anywhere else, it's all about who you know. Lucky for you, you know me. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I hope I can count on you if I ever need a favor. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic It's a small group of us here at the College. Favors don't go unremembered. Neither do affronts. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic The Arch-Mage triumphant! The College... Skyrim... All of Tamriel owes you a great debt! MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I'm quite pleased that we're back to business as usual. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Certainly nothing illicit going on here, Arch-Mage. You can be quite sure of that. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Even with the College's laid-back attitude, there are still some things that are off-limits. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic There are some experiments the College frowns on. If they're aware of them, of course. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic If you ever need something, especially something hard to come by, let me know. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I've spent a long time building up a list of contacts for goods from all over Tamriel. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I am always available should you need me, Arch-Mage. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Like it or not, you are a shining example to future generations of College Mages. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic After all that it's been through, the College still stands. In no small part thanks to you! MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic It's always encouraging to see the younger generations embracing education. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic The College will be here for you, no matter what. We always look after our own. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Education is never appreciated until after the fact. Young people never understand this. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Have you, by chance, seen my research notes? I seem to have misplaced them. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Another day, another opportunity to learn! MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic What you learn here will last you a lifetime. Several, if you're talented. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic It's no secret that the College's reputation in Skyrim is... tainted. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Please don't do anything to anger the locals. They don't need additional reasons to hate us. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic It is not the place of the College to become involved in local politics. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Someday the College may be fully accepted by the Nords. I hope that my work as Arch-Mage may help. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Please don't bother the Arch-Mage unless it's absolutely necessary. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic If there are any problems, let me know. It's my job to keep things running smoothly. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Day-to-day operations are my responsibility, which means if you become a problem, you get sent to me. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Mine is not a popular position, but someone needs to keep things running smoothly around here. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Like it or not, this College is a direct influence on the public's impressions of magic and those that use it. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic It is up to each of us to present ourselves publicly as maturely as possible, and to remain above petty local squabbles. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I still can't believe it. You, the Arch-Mage? Never would have guessed it. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic You know, this is one of a very few places where you can receive a real education in the schools of magic. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I think my parents reserved a spot for me here at the College on the day I was born. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic There's a lot of pressure for me to excel in my studies. I hope I can live up to expectations. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Thanks to you, the people of Skyrim will continue to have a place to study magic. Even if most of them resent you for it. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I never would have suspected that the Eye could be so dangerous. Tolfdir is right, isn't he? Magic really can overwhelm you. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I've certainly learned more here than I ever expected to. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I wonder if the College's reptuation will ever recover from our adventures. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic The College is a bit of an oddity in Skyrim. Magic isn't something that's looked upon fondly here. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Nords don't trust magic, or those that use it. Made it difficult for me growing up. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic They won't say much, but most people have very strong opinions about the College and those that study here. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Don't expect the local Nords to take kindly to you once they find out you're from the College. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic J'zargo is pleased, and more than a little jealous, to greet the new Arch-Mage. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic J'zargo had expected to be named Arch-Mage. But there is still time. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Are the Arch-Mage's robes as comfortable as J'zargo believes them to be? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Skyrim couldn't be more different from Elsweyr. But magic... Magic's the same no matter where you go. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic J'zargo will go wherever he can to learn more. Oblivion itself, if need be. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Khajiit are not known as mages, so J'zargo has much to prove. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic J'zargo can learn magic from these men and elves, but they cannot learn to be as dashing as he. J'zargo comes out on top. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I think we could blow up half of Eastmarch, and people would still come to us for enchantments. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic The local Nords may not like us very much, but they don't seem to mind having access to enchanted weapons and armor. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Savos doesn't care for politics. He likes to believe the College is removed from the rest of Skyrim. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic If he could, Savos would float the the entire College above Skyrim, for all the Nords to see. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Greetings, Arch-Mage. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic May I help you, Arch-Mage? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Dying breed, eh? Well what do you call that then! MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic It's time to face the truth, old friend. You, Vex, Mercer... you're all part of a dying breed. Things are changing! MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic We've all heard that one before, Bryn! Quit kidding yourself. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I'm telling you, this one is different... MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Give it up, Brynjolf... those days are over. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic So, you made it out of there alive. Ancano was right... you are dangerous. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I'm afraid I'll have to take that Staff from you now. Ancano wants it kept safe... oh, and he wants you dead. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Nothing personal. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Nothing, you pig-headed oaf! MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic What was that you said, venomous wife of mine? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Enchanting services are one of the few things that keep us in touch with the rest of Skyrim. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Perhaps we can go another few decades without a disaster. That would be nice. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Perhaps we can go another few decades without a disaster. That would be nice. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I'm working on some very important research, I assure you. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic The exact nature of my research is a secret, I'm afraid, but it really is quite valuable. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I don't think anyone here truly understands how useful my work will be. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic When I've finished what I'm working on, everyone will understand its significance. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I have many important things on my mind. Your concerns are not among them. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Are you quite sure we need to be speaking? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I'm disappointed to say I've learned little during my time here. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I had hoped your scholars would be on a level comparable with my own colleagues. They are not. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic We have survived difficult times, and are better mages for it. We owe you that, Arch-Mage. Thank you. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic The Eye of Magnus. Here, but lost. Slipped through our grasp. Oh, what we might have learned. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I wonder what we could've done with the Eye, had it been put to better use? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Have you seen Mirabelle around? I know she's dead, but I thought... Well, I thought she might stop in and say hello anyway. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic You know, they say knowledge is its own reward. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Illusion really is the least appreciated of the schools of magic. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic If only I could be free of the mundane, day-to-day activities life so often requires. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I'm not one for commendations, but I might've lost everything that matters. So... thanks. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Arch-Mage or not, my rules about books still stand. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic All this knowledge might have been lost, were it not for you. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I don't want to see you treating any of these books poorly. Are we clear? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic Hundreds of years have gone into assembling this collection. It's going to stay pristine, understand? MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic You need a book, you talk to me. Otherwise you're going to find yourself in a lot of pain. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic I don't care if you wrote it yourself -- if you want a book from here, you go through me. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic The Arcanaeum is always accepting new volumes. I'll take what I can get. MG07EstormoAmbushBranchTopic We all have you to thank for saving the College. Your position is well-deserved. MG07OnmundBranchTopic There's no time! You have to get back to the College as fast as you can! MG07OnmundBranchTopic Mirabelle is dead, and they're losing ground fast. I'd be there now if I hadn't seen... I had one of your 'visions', I think. MG07OnmundBranchTopic Go on, get moving! I'll try and clear a path for you. MG07OnmundBranchTopic We'll stay here and see if we can find anything else that could be of use. MG07OnmundBranchTopic Hadvar... get away from there! MG07OnmundBranchTopic Follow me. Let's see where this leads. MG07OnmundBranchTopic Steady, legionnaires! We've been through worse. Just keep your guard up! MG07OnmundBranchTopic Alright, let's move, men! We've got more... MG07OnmundBranchTopic How's it going? You find anything yet? MG07OnmundBranchTopic Keep looking. There's got to be some way to get that gate open. MG07OnmundBranchTopic This may sound obvious, but do you see a lever anywhere? MG07OnmundBranchTopic Auxiliary, do what you do best. See if you can find some way to get that gate open. MG07OnmundBranchTopic Alright legionnaires! Spread out and see what we've got. MG07OnmundBranchTopic Alright everyone! Keep your guard up. Let's move out! MG07OnmundBranchTopic Good job! MG07Stage50EstormoResponse1 You fool. You don't stand a chance. MG07Stage50EstormoResponse2 I'm afraid you do. MG07TolfdirForcegreetBranchTopic You survived! You have it, then? MG07TolfdirForcegreetBranchTopic Let's hope it's as powerful as the Psijics believe it to be. MG07TolfdirForcegreetBranchTopic What are we waiting for? MG07TolfdirLetsGo I'll be right behind you! MG07TolfdirResponse1 She... She didn't make it. MG07TolfdirResponse1 When it was clear we were going to have to fall back, she stayed behind and made sure the rest of us were all right. MG07TolfdirResponse1 The Word calls you. Go to it. MG07TolfdirResponse1 Why do you intrude here, if not for tinvaak? MG07TolfdirResponse1 I have spoken. The Rotmulaag waits. MG07TolfdirResponse1 Whew. That was close. MG07TolfdirResponse1 Not the sneaking type, huh? MG07TolfdirResponse1 Easy does it now. MG07TolfdirResponse1 I'd rather not tangle with her right now. We might be able to sneak by. Just take it nice and slow, and watch where you step. MG07TolfdirResponse1 Hold up. There's a bear just ahead. See her? MG07TolfdirResponse1 We'd better push on. I'm sure the others will find another way out. MG07TolfdirResponse1 I guess we're lucky that didn't come down on top of us. MG07TolfdirResponse1 Damn it. No going back that way. MG07TolfdirResponse1 Let's see where this goes. MG07TolfdirResponse2 Look for yourself. MG07TolfdirResponse2 Ancano's power is growing. We can't crack whatever magic he's using to shield himself. MG07TolfdirResponse2 I hope your trip to Labyrinthian was worth it. MG08AncanoTauntTopic You dare approach me here? Are you mad? You cannot hope to defeat me! MG08AncanoTauntTopic Die, worm! MG08AncanoTauntTopic The College will not fall! MG08AncanoTauntTopic We will prevail! MG08AncanoTauntTopic I'll not go down without a fight! MG08Stage10TolfdirBranchTopic You're the one with the staff, my boy. MG08Stage10TolfdirBranchTopic You're the one with the staff, my dear. MG08Stage10TolfdirBranchTopic Come then. See what I can do now. MG08Stage10TolfdirBranchTopic The power to unmake the world at my fingertips, and you think you can do anything about it? MG08Stage10TolfdirBranchTopic You think I don't know what you're up to? You think I can't destroy you? MG08Stage10TolfdirBranchTopic You've come for me, have you? MG08Stage10TolfdirFollowUp If it can help us get inside the College, and reach Ancano, we'll have to hope that there's a way to stop all this. MG08Stage40TolfdirBranchTopic I... I don't know. Ancano is gone, but whatever he's done to the Eye doesn't seem to have stopped. MG08Stage40TolfdirBranchTopic I have no idea what to do! MG08Stage40TolfdirBranchTopic Let's hope we succeed. MG08Stage40TolfdirBranchTopic This is our only chance. MG08Stage50FollowUp1 The Eye has grown unstable. It cannot remain here, or else it may destroy your College and this world. MG08Stage50FollowUp1 It must be secured. Ancano's actions prove that the world is not ready for such a thing. MG08Stage50FollowUp1 We shall safeguard it... for now. MG08Stage50FollowUp1 You now have the opportunity to maintain your College, and carry on with your lives. MG08Stage50FollowUp1 You have our gratitude, Arch-Mage. MG08Stage50FollowUp2 A great many things obscured to you are quite clear to us. We have long believed you would prevail. MG08Stage50TandilForceGoodbyeBranchTopic It is time for us to go. MG08Stage50TandilFreeTopic We knew you would succeed. MG08Stage50TandilFreeTopic Your victory here justifies our belief in you. You have proven yourself more than worthy to guide the College of Winterhold. MGLDoomstone01 The existence of so-called "Doomstones" throughout Skyrim has been repeatedly verified. The meaning of these stones has not. MGLDoomstone02 The prevailing opinion of Skyrim natives is that the stones are indeed magical in nature. MGLDoomstone03 While there is no direct evidence of this, it does seem likely. MGLDoomstone04 References to similar stones appear in lore throughout the various Tamrielic cultures. MGLDoomstone05 None, however, exactly match the markings or distribution of Skyrim's stones. MGLDoomstone06 At present, there is no confirmation of any of the various theories surrounding the nature of these stones. MGLDoomstone07 Their relative positions do not indicate that any individual stone is part of a larger, unobserved pattern. MGLDoomstone08 Also, their placement throughout Skyrim does not correspond to any known magical phenomenon. MGLDoomstone09 The age of the stones themselves has yet to be officially determined. It has been widely assumed that they were placed during the Merethic Era. MGLDoomstone10 Writings from that period, including those of Ysgramor himself, do not mention the stones and thus this idea cannot be verified. MGLDoomstone11 Nonetheless, many are drawn to these stones based on the local stories describing them as a source of significant power. MGLDoomstone12 The College will continue to research these intriguing objects, and of course any findings will be relayed with all possible haste. MGLoreStaff01 I'm not certain what use it would be. MGLoreStaff01 The Staff is said to be able to absorb great amounts of energy. Perhaps it can interact with the Eye in a way that nothing else can. MGLoreStaff01 I don't know, not for sure. MGLoreStaff01 But perhaps the staff can absorb some of the energy coming out of the Eye, weaken it. Allow us to get close to Ancano. MGLoreStaff01 Glory to the Forsworn! MGLoreStaff01 The Reach will be ours again. MGLoreStaff01 Ah, my friend from Cidhna Mine. Hello. MGLoreStaff01 This is where it will begin. A new uprising. MGLoreStaff01 We'll have our freedom. One day. MGLoreStaff01 The Silver-Bloods pay their debts. You have my thanks. MGLoreStaff01 Madanach has been found to be the true murderer of Markarth. On behalf the city, I apologize for your wrongful imprisonment. MGLoreStaff01 By killing Madanach you've freed Markarth from his hidden tyranny. On behalf of the city, I thank you. MGLoreStaff01 Damn those Forsworn. Think they can kill people in my city? I'll have Madanach's head! MGLoreStaff01 My brother tells me you've done us a service. Thank you. MGLoreStaff01 You. You aren't with the Forsworn, are you? People say they saw you when the prisoners escaped. So many dead. MGLoreStaff01 I heard about you being pardoned. What were the guards thinking, taking you in? MGLoreStaff01 Huh. Heard you broke out of Cidhna Mine with those Forsworn. Do you have any idea how many died? MGLoreStaff01 Can't believe anyone was dumb enough to mistake you for a Forsworn agent. MGLoreStaff01 Can't believe Madanach is on the loose again. I hope those rumors I'm hearing about your part in that are wrong. MGLoreStaff01 Everyone's been talking about you. The guards will have to answer for throwing an innocent person in Cidhna Mine. MGLoreStaff01 Forsworn rampaging through the streets. As if business wasn't slow enough. MGLoreStaff01 Oh, it's you! Sorry to hear about your imprisonment. I'm sure the guards didn't mean to throw you in jail MGLoreStaff01 I saw you. With the Forsworn. By the old gods, that was something. MGLoreStaff01 I'll be damned. Someone who actually escaped Cidhna Mine. You're the talk of the Warrens. MGLoreStaff01 You escaped Cidhna Mine? With Madanach? Everyone in the Warrens has been praising your name. MGLoreStaff01 What was it like? Cidhna Mine? We've all been talking about your escape. And being pardoned after. Amazing. MGLPolicy01 At this time, I would like to make a few statements regarding policy here at the College. MGLPolicy02 Please refrain from practicing Conjuration spells in view of the town of Winterhold. MGLPolicy03 Atronachs have a tendency to frighten the locals. Undead.... well, I don't even think it needs to be said. MGLPolicy04 Urag has asked me to remind everyone to please return materials borrowed from the Arcanaeum in the same condition as you received them. MGLPolicy05 If this is impossible due to misuse or accident, Urag recommends finding a replacement copy to deliver to the Arcanaeum. MGLPolicy06 Failure to do so will result in paying, in Urag's words, "a blood price." I did not ask him to elaborate on that point. MGLPolicy07 Once again, I must ask that everyone please clean up any materials used in the common areas. MGLPolicy08 We've had yet another sprained ankle due to soul gems being left on the floor. Let's please try and keep injuries to a minimum. MGLPolicy09 The Midden remains off-limits at this time; while the initial outbreak has been cleaned up, the area is still considered hazardous. MGLPolicy10 No more experiments are to be carried out there, and mages are advised that you enter the Midden at your own risk. MGLPolicy11 While Drevis appreciates the spellcasting skill that went into somehow cramming several hundred apples into his pillow... MGLPolicy12 He would ask that it please not happen again. MGLPolicy13 He has suggested that, should he find out who is responsible, he is well versed in making things disappear permanently. MGLPolicy14 There have been unconfirmed reports that someone has been sneaking into the town of Winterhold while invisible, and causing... issues. MGLPolicy16 This goes quite against College policy, and the party responsible is advised to cease these actions at once. MGLPolicy17 Any information as to the whereabouts of the previous group of Apprentices would be greatly appreciated. MGLPolicy18 As of yet, there has been no sign of them. MGLPolicyEye01 Projects are underway to discern the origin and nature of the College's recent find in Saarthal. MGLPolicyEye01A Work continues on the Eye of Magnus, as it has been commonly referred to. MGLPolicyEye02 Any and all theories are currently being considered. Those with ideas should please speak with Mirabelle. MGLPolicyEye03 At this time, there is no indication that, as has been rumored, the object is in fact a physical part of Magnus, the god of magic. MGLPolicyEye04 It has been suggested that the object is a gateway to the realm of Aetherius, but nothing has proven that idea one way or the other. MGLPolicyEye05 It has been proposed that the object is in fact the entirety of Aurbis in one physical space. MGLPolicyEye06 This would of course mean that Tamriel, indeed all of Mundus, is actually contained within the sphere. MGLPolicyEye07 It further suggests that we are somehow then outside our own existence while looking in at it. MGLPolicyEye08 While the idea seems dubious at best, it has not, at present, been entirely ruled out. MGLPolicyEye08 I really do need you to stay in place, please. I don't want to risk hurting any of the other Apprentices. MGLPolicyEye08 Over there, please. Just opposite me. Wouldn't want anyone else in the way. MGLResto01 I would just like to remind everyone, once again, that Restoration is indeed a valid school of magic. MGLResto02 It is absolutely worthy of research, despite many of the notes I've had left in my bed. And my desk. And on occasion, my meals. MGLResto03 Anyone suggesting that Restoration is better left to the priests of the Temples, I think, is forgetting a few things. MGLResto04 Firstly, the ability to repel the undead cannot be ignored. MGLResto05 Skyrim is well known to be full of these... Draugr, ancient Nord warriors who cannot find peace. MGLResto06 I submit that everyone in this College has, at one time or another, relied on one of the Restoration spells that can keep them at bay. MGLResto07 Secondly, how can anyone forget wards? They have become essential to any mage working in dangerous situations. MGLResto08 They are counted upon every bit as much as Candlelight, or Invisibility. MGLResto09 But more importantly, wards have saved lives. This is a simple fact. MGLResto10 Every mage in this College regularly uses wards for practice, so as to avoid physical harm. MGLResto11 I truly hope that these points actually sink in, and that more care and thought is given to this subject in the future. Thank you. MGLShalidor01 As many know, there is an ongoing effort to research the work of the Archmagus Shalidor. MGLShalidor02 He is most remembered for his great maze of Labyrinthian, said to hold "Glamoril", or the secret of life. MGLShalidor03 While stories have persisted since the First Era, none have ever confirmed the existence of this "Glamoril" or its purpose or function. MGLShalidor04 The College has developed some theories, however. MGLShalidor05 We know that Shalidor had an understanding of magic that surpassed almost any of either his age or ours. MGLShalidor06 The few works of his that have been recovered suggest that he had an understanding of magic and the world that few have ever achieved. MGLShalidor07 What is interesting is that it appears he was also incredibly prolific, writing on a diverse array of subjects. MGLShalidor08 An array so great, in fact, that it remains a source of curiosity. MGLShalidor09 What, then, of this Glamoril? It means "secret of life" in elvish. Could this be an explanation for Shalidor's works? MGLShalidor10 Is it possible that it somehow contributed to his work? Perhaps allowed him to life multiple lifetimes in a short span of time? MGLShalidor11 Increased his intelligence and knowledge in ways unfathomable to us? We may never know for certain. MGLShalidor12 The College is always searching for more of Shalidor's writings in an attempt to understand both our knowledge of the man, and of magic in general. MGLSynod01 It is no secret that both the Synod and the College of Whispers have recently made inquiries as to the status of our College here in Winterhold. MGLSynod02 At this time, there is no indication that either group is aware of the other's correspondence. MGLSynod03 The College of Winterhold has thus far declined requests for direct meetings. This has been at the specific request of Arch-Mage Aren. MGLSynod04 Aren believed that although the initial communications were innocent enough, they were sent with a particular motive in mind. MGLSynod05 The Synod's harsh rules and draconian structure are maintained only by suppressing any opposition to their Council's policies. MGLSynod06 It is entirely possible that they look to our College here in Winterhold in order to find supporters for their organization. MGLSynod07 Likewise, the College of Whispers has long been driven by its desire to directly oppose the Synod. MGLSynod08 They focus on research banned by the Synod, such as Conjuration and Necromancy. MGLSynod09 The College of Whispers hopes to learn that our College also supports these avenues of research. MGLSynod10 Thus they may claim that the Synod is indeed a political minority in the Empire and should be treated as such. MGLSynod11 Our actual position and policies are irrelevant. No matter the facts of the response, it will certainly be twisted to suit the whims of either group. MGLSynod12 Indeed, it has been jokingly suggested that we send the exact same response to both, which each will warp into support for their side. MGLSynod13 At present, these two groups do little beyond attempting to gain the attention and favor of the Emperor. MGLSynod14 They appear to have little interest in real study and research for the sake of gaining knowledge. MGLSynod15 Arch-Mage Aren believes that their conflict poses a significant threat to the autonomy of our College, and I concur. MGLSynod15A Arch-Mage Aren believed that their conflict poses a significant threat to the autonomy of our College, and I concur. MGLSynod16 Falling in with either would threaten to draw much unwanted attention to our College. MGLSynod17 If either group goes through less official channels and attempt to contact you directly, please refer them to the College's Master Wizard. MGLSynod18 Say as little as possible so as to avoid compromising our neutral position. MGMainQuestBridgeNiryaBranchTopic A lofty goal, to be sure. And what brings your search to our doorstep? MGMainQuestBridgeNiryaFollowUp It's true, the scrolls are a subject of interest to us, and work has been done to learn of them. But outsiders are not allowed within the College. MGMainQuestBridgeScrollImportantTopic Dragons, is it? Does that make you the fabled "Dragonborn" we've heard mention of? MGMainQuestBridgeScrollImportantTopic You were just going to prove that you're Dragonborn. MGMainQuestBridgeScrollImportantTopic You must first prove your worth, and then I shall lead you across. MGMainQuestBridgeScrollImportantTopic You risk death by doing so, and you shall not gain entry. MGMainQuestBridgeScrollImportantTopic Do not cross the bridge unaided! MGMainQuestBridgeScrollResponse1 Can you? You have the power of the Voice? Now I'm interested. MGMainQuestBridgeScrollResponse1 By all means, show me. MGMainQuestBridgeScrollResponse2 So you have the Voice, then? I would be quite impressed to see that. MGR01Stage10AcceptedTopic My Alembic. I need it for some research, and can't seem to find it. MGR01Stage10AcceptedTopic A book of mine. I was at least halfway through, and wanted to finish it, but apparently I put it down somewhere. MGR01Stage10BranchTopic Well, yes. This is rather embarrassing, but it seems I've misplaced something. MGR01Stage10ItemSpecifics I can't find my Alembic. I suppose I could use another one, but... well, it sounds silly, but mine has sentimental value. MGR01Stage10ItemSpecifics If you happen to see it, would you mind bringing it to me? MGR01Stage10ItemSpecifics I seem to have misplaced the book I was reading. MGR01Stage20BranchTopic Ah, yes! There it is! Thank you so much. MGR01TurnIn Ah, yes! There it is! Thank you so much. MGR02Decline I see. MGR02InitialAccept Very well. These specially enchanted gloves will allow you to delve directly into the focal points for these energies. MGR02InitialAccept Go to each focal point and remove whatever impurities you may find there. MGR02InitialAccept Return the gloves to me when you have finished. MGR02InitialAccept Please exercise caution. This is not a procedure without possible... consequences. MGR02InitialBranchTopic There may be a matter in which your... skills... could be useful. MGR02InitialBranchTopic The various points of focus for magic energies around the College have become polluted, and need cleansing. MGR02InitialBranchTopic The magical energies underneath the College still require purification. Your assistance would be most useful. MGR02InitialFollowUp As you may be aware, the College has gone to great lengths to purify and enhance the natural energies of the world. MGR02InitialFollowUp This both enhances our connection to the realm of magic, and eliminates possible interference from outside sources. MGR02InitialFollowUp These energies, on occasion, become... polluted. Effort must be made to see that they are kept pure, clean. MGR02InitialFollowUp Do you wish to aid in this cleansing? MGR02Stage10Entry Use the gloves to clear the focal points. Return to me when you have finished. I thought I made this rather clear. MGR02Stage20BranchTopic Yes, they have. I can feel the difference already. But of course, I'm far more in tune with these sorts of things than most. MGR02Stage20BranchTopic Thank you. I appreciate your assistance. MGR10InitialDialogueTopic Sure is. I've got another client -- wants me to do some enchanting. You can do the pick-up for me, if you want. MGR10InitialDialogueTopic There's more enchanting to be done. You can acquire whatever it is and bring it back here, and I'll take care of it. MGR10InitialDialogueTopic You must be the one Falk spoke so highly of. Welcome. MGR10InitialDialogueTopic You've returned! I'm hoping successfully. MGR10InitialDialogueTopic You know what needs to be done. Is there something more you need? MGR10InitialDialogueTopic The courier must have found you. MGR10InitialDialogueTopic Speak to Styrr. He can help. MGR10InitialDialogueTopic I won't be able to relax until I'm sure Potema is dealt with. MGR10InitialFollowUp All right. Be quick about it, will you? This is a good way for the College to bring in some money. MGR10InitialFollowUp Here's the name and location of the client. MGR10Reject Perhaps some other time. MGR10Reject I don't think I need to tell you why. MGR10Reject They call him "the Skinner." MGR10Reject They call her "the Skinner." MGR10Reject We're getting close now. Be careful. Their leader is a tricky one. MGR10Reject No surprise they keep vermin around. Filthy squalor. MGR10Reject Nothing we can do for these ones now. MGR10Reject Don't even want to think about what those cretins did to them before they died. MGR10Reject There's a dead one, isn't there. Thought so. MGR10Reject Nobody we know, by the smell. MGR10Reject Some can't separate the animal from themselves. Go feral. This poor sod could have been anyone. MGR10Reject We should keep moving. MGR10Reject Look at this. Cowards must have locked the place down after Skjor charged in. You can taste the fear. MGR10Stage10BranchTopic Yes, yes I did. I've already sent instructions, you just need to make sure this arrives in one piece. MGR10Stage10BranchTopic Ah, you're from the College? I've been waiting for you. MGR10Stage10BranchTopic Please make sure this arrives in a timely manner. And don't scratch it up. MGR10Stage10BranchTopic Oh, good. I've been waiting for you. Here you go, it's all ready. MGR10Stage10BranchTopic Now, Sergius knows what I want. I'm hoping he can get it done quickly. MGR10Stage10BranchTopic It's about time someone arrived. Here, make sure this is handled properly. MGR10Stage10BranchTopic Oh yes, that. Here you go. I hope this can be ready soon. MGR10Stage10BranchTopic Yes, yes. Let's keep our voices down, all right? Just make sure this gets there. MGR10Stage20BranchTopic Ah, yes. Thank you. I'll get to work on this right away. MGR10Stage20BranchTopic I'll add it to the list of things I need to take care of. Thank you. MGR11AcceptGemInfo So you do. Thank you, this will help quite a bit. MGR11InitialBranchTopic I need some more supplies. Can you help out with that? MGR11RejectBranchTopic When it was over, Atmah, Hafnar and I stared, pale-faced, at one another, unwilling to admit we'd made a terrible mistake. MGR11RejectBranchTopic And then we were all fighting just to survive. None of us were prepared. It was amazing the rest of us survived. MGR11RejectBranchTopic One moment we joked about what we'd find below, the next he'd been ripped in half. MGR11RejectBranchTopic Girduin died first. It happened so fast, none of us had a chance to react. MGR11RejectBranchTopic We thought it would be so simple. MGR11RejectBranchTopic We were sure we'd find it all here, hidden away from time. Power, knowledge... All the things we didn't want to wait for. MGR11RejectBranchTopic It was Atmah's idea to come here, at first. She talked me into it, and I convinced the others. MGR11RejectBranchTopic There were six of us. Full of ambition, eager to conquer the world. MGR11RejectBranchTopic But now it all comes out again... MGR11RejectBranchTopic I never meant for any of what happened here. Tried to seal it up, lock it away forever. MGR11RejectBranchTopic It would seem I'm bound to this place. The bitter irony of it all -- my greatest failure, and even in death I can't escape it. MGR11RejectBranchTopic I knew you'd come eventually. MGR11RejectBranchTopic Yes, well so do I. That's why I was hoping you could help. MGR11RejectBranchTopic Now you've put it all to rest, but it can't undo my mistakes. They can never be undone... MGR11RejectBranchTopic That's how I consoled myself for years, after I'd sealed this place shut and vowed never to let anyone open it. MGR11RejectBranchTopic If we'd all died there, if we'd loosed the thing on the world, who knows what might have happened? MGR11RejectBranchTopic I had to leave them behind, had to sacrifice them so I could make it out alive. MGR11RejectBranchTopic I had no choice, don't you see? MGR11RejectBranchTopic "No matter what, we stay together", Hafnar said. I looked him in the eyes and lied to him. MGR11RejectBranchTopic None of our spells were potent enough, none of our wills were strong enough. MGR11RejectBranchTopic We all knew this was the end. Without even opening the door, we knew what was behind it would kill us. MGR11RejectBranchTopic What happened after was my fault. All mine. MGR11RejectBranchTopic I was in charge now. I pushed them on, insisting it would be worse to try and go back. MGR11RejectBranchTopic Atmah cried to herself. Hafnar wouldn't look at either of us. And I kept telling them it would be all right. MGR11RejectBranchTopic I've no idea what killed her, but I'm sure something did. MGR11RejectBranchTopic There were only three of us left. Takes-In-Light just sat down and gave up, and we left her there to die. MGR11RejectBranchTopic "If we can just make it through, it'll all be worth it", I told them. And the fools believed the words I myself didn't trust. MGR11RejectBranchTopic I... I don't know why I pressed the others on, convinced them to keep going. MGR11RejectBranchTopic Hafnar was covered in blood, but his stupid Nord pride wouldn't let him admit defeat. MGR11RejectBranchTopic Elvali died here. I don't even remember what killed her. One of the countless faceless horrors. I think she was glad, in that final moment. MGR11RejectBranchTopic We could have turned back. It could have ended there. But we kept going. MGR11Stage10TypeTopic I'm running low on Petty Soul Gems. MGR11Stage10TypeTopic I'm running low on Lesser Soul Gems. MGR11Stage10TypeTopic I'm running low on Common Soul Gems. MGR11Stage10TypeTopic I'm running low on Greater Soul Gems. MGR11Stage10TypeTopic I'm running low on Grand Soul Gems. MGR12Accept Here, take this Grand Soul Gem, fill it for me, and bring it right back. I'll be waiting. MGR12Decline Some other time? That's not going to help me much, now is it? MGR12InitialBranchTopic In fact, there is. I need a soul gem filled, if you're up to it. MGR12Stage10BranchTopic Excellent. Thank you, I'll see that this gets put to good use. MGR12Stage10BranchTopic Yes, a Grand one. Soon, please. MGR20Accept Well all right. Here, I scribbled down the last place I'd heard about. Check it out, but be careful. MGR20BAccept All right. I wrote down the last place I'd heard about. Don't get killed. MGR20BDecline Some other time, then. MGR20BInitialBranchTopic There are more books to be recovered and secured in the Arcanaeum. MGR20BStage20BranchTopic Looks like you're still in one piece. And more importantly, so is the book. Thank you. MGR20Decline Ah. Some other time, perhaps? MGR20InitialBranchTopic If you're feeling adventurous, I'm always looking for someone to procure valuable books from some more... dangerous locations. MGR20InitialBranchTopic There are more books to be recovered and secured here in the Arcanaeum. MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Looks like you're still in one piece. And more importantly, so is the book. Thank you. MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Mauhulakh's aunts. You know... the way they're all around him all the time. MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Who has a sister? MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Do you ever get a weird feeling about those sisters? MGR20Stage20BranchTopic You can tell it because it has lots of ebony. MGR20Stage20BranchTopic So where is it? MGR20Stage20BranchTopic We love you, Dark Brotherhood! Ha ha ha ha ha! MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Ha ha ha ha ha! Hooray! MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Aventus really did it! He got the Dark Brotherhood to kill old Grelod! Ha ha ha ha ha! MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Hurrah! Hurrah! MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Yay! MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Hooray! Grelod the Kind is dead at last! We're saved! MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Grelod is dead! Aventus did it! Ha ha ha ha ha! MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Someone has killed Grelod! Ha ha ha ha ha! MGR20Stage20BranchTopic No, I don't need to mark it. I remember it. MGR20Stage20BranchTopic Did you mark it? MGR20Stage20BranchTopic In continuing with our theme of safety, we'll start with Wards. Wards are protective spells that block magic. MGR20Stage20BranchTopic I'll teach you all a ward, and we'll see if you can successfully use it to block spells, all right? MGR20Stage20BranchTopic All right, let's settle down. I suppose we can try something practical... MGR21InitialBranchTopic As a matter of fact, there are. Have you ever heard of Shalidor? MGR21InitialBranchTopic Immensely powerful mage, back in the First Era. Had an understanding of magic few have ever matched. MGR21InitialBranchTopic He holed himself up in Labyrinthian, and devoted all of his time to research and study. Wrote more than you would imagine possible. MGR21InitialBranchTopic Since then, his writings have been scattered all over Skyrim, but are little use to anyone who can't translate them. I'm one of the few who can. MGR21InitialBranchTopic I'm always trying to find more of Shalidor's writings. MGR21InitialFollowUp I've heard whispers of more of his work having turned up. If you can track it down, it may prove useful to all of us. MGR21Stage20BranchTopic Excellent! MGR21Stage20BranchTopic I'll start translating it. Shouldn't take me more than a day or two. MGR22RewardStatusBranchTopic I only just got my hands on it. I can only work so quickly. MGR22RewardStatusBranchTopic It's coming along slowly. I expect there will be some results soon. MGR22RewardStatusBranchTopic We were able to figure out the last text you brought in. I thought the least I could do is pass the knowledge along. MGR30ExplanationAnomaly It would seem there's some sort of disturbance. From what few details we were given, it sounds quite familiar. MGR30ExplanationAnomaly I suspect that the power released by the Eye of Magnus was not fully contained, and has coalesced in this part of Skyrim. MGR30ExplanationAnomaly I do hope you still have the Staff of Magnus someplace. I suspect you're going to need it. MGR30ExplanationAnomaly There's another report of a disturbance in this Hold. Best if it's taken care of before things get out of hand. MGR30ExplanationAnomaly There's another report of a disturbance in that Hold. Best if it's taken care of before things get out of hand. MGR30Stage20BranchTopic Very good. I'm sure the Jarl will be quite pleased. MGR30Stage20BranchTopic Pleased enough to justify the significant amount of gold offered to the College to rectify the problem. MGR30Stage20BranchTopic Excellent news. Were it to have gotten out of hand, it could have become a major problem for the College. MGR30Stage20FollowUp I think it only fitting that the Arch-Mage personally receive a large portion of the reward. Well done. MGR30TolfdirBranchTopic Actually, yes Arch-Mage. I believe there is. MGR30TolfdirExplanationHold We've been contacted by the Jarl of Solitude. MGR30TolfdirExplanationHold We've become aware of a problem in Winterhold. MGR30TolfdirExplanationHold We've been contacted by the Jarl of Riften. MGR30TolfdirExplanationHold We've been contacted by the Jarl of Whiterun. MGR30TolfdirExplanationHold We've been contacted by the Jarl of Morthal. MGR30TolfdirExplanationHold We've been contacted by the Jarl of Markarth. MGR30TolfdirExplanationHold We've been contacted by the Jarl of Windhelm. MGR30TolfdirExplanationHold We've been contacted by the Jarl of Dawnstar. MGR30TolfdirExplanationHold We've been contacted by the Jarl of Falkreath. MGRAppBrelyna01FinalBranchTopic Well, it all worked out in the end, didn't it? MGRAppBrelyna01FinalResponse1 Agreed. MGRAppBrelyna01FinalResponse1 And thank you for your help. You're a good friend. MGRAppBrelyna01FinalResponse1 Well I really would like to make sure I've corrected what happened last time. MGRAppBrelyna01FinalResponse1 Please give me a chance to try again. MGRAppBrelyna01FinalResponse2 Oh, no it hasn't. Let's be honest. MGRAppBrelyna01FinalResponse2 I have a long way to go before I'm ready for the kind of advanced magic I've been attempting. MGRAppBrelyna01FinalResponse2 But at least I know where to start now. Thank you, you've been a great help to me. MGRAppBrelyna01InitialBranchTopic We're all trying to become better mages, right? MGRAppBrelyna01InitialBranchTopic Well, I need someone I can practice a few spells on. Nothing dangerous, really. Would you be willing to assist me? MGRAppBrelyna01InitialBranchTopic I still need someone to practice a few spells on. Interested? MGRAppBrelyna01InitialBranchTopic I still need some help, if you can spare the time. MGRAppBrelyna01InitialBranchTopic If you have a moment, could you help me with something? MGRAppBrelyna01InitialBranchTopic This will only take me a moment... MGRAppBrelyna01Reject Oh. Well, if you change your mind, let me know. MGRAppBrelyna01Response1 Well, I... I simply thought you might wish to help out one of your fellow mages. MGRAppBrelyna01Response1 If that's not enough, I suppose... I have this amulet you could take. MGRAppBrelyna01Response2 No, not that kind of spell. Believe me when I say I wouldn't be asking if it weren't necessary. MGRAppBrelyna01Response3 Oh, good. I was afraid I'd have to go ask J'zargo. MGRAppBrelyna01Response3 Now, you just stand there... MGRAppBrelyna01Response3 Oh, good. I was afraid I'd have to rely on Onmund. MGRAppBrelyna01Response3 Now, you just stand there... MGRAppBrelyna01Response3 Thank you. I was afraid I'd have to figure out some way to do this on my own. MGRAppBrelyna01Response3 Now, you just stand there... MGRAppBrelyna01Stage10Response2 I'm not really sure. I think it's just a minor miscalculation on my part. MGRAppBrelyna01Stage10Response2 I'm sure it will wear off soon. When it does, you'll be perfectly fine, and then we can try again. MGRAppBrelyna01Stage10Response2 In the meantime, I'll see about figuring out what went wrong. MGRAppBrelyna01Stage20BranchTopic I am so very sorry. I went over this again and again, and I was sure it would have better results. MGRAppBrelyna01Stage20Response1 It's not! MGRAppBrelyna01Stage20Response1 It shouldn't be. You'll be back to normal in no time. MGRAppBrelyna01Stage20Response1 And when you are, we can try this again and I'll be sure to get it right. MGRAppBrelyna01Stage30BranchTopic Exactly as I said it would. MGRAppBrelyna01Stage30BranchTopic Now, are you ready to try again? I am confident it will work this time. MGRAppBrelyna01Stage30Response1 This will be worth it. MGRAppBrelyna01Stage30Response3 Good, good. It'll be worth it, I assure you. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic You what? How could you run out? J'zargo gave you more than enough. Bah, just forget J'zargo ever asked for your help. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic I'm afraid she's right. I'm deeply sorry that this has to come between us. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic But just as Paarthurnax's later deeds do not expiate his crimes, your deeds do not allow us to ignore our duty. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic I hope you will return to us soon with the news that justice has finally been done. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic With both Alduin and Paarthurnax dead, a dark chapter in history will finally be closed. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic There's still the matter of Paarthurnax. I'm not ungrateful for what you've done. Esbern speaks for both of us. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic But our oath as Blades binds us. Paarthurnax must die. There's no excuse now that Alduin is dead. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic Thank you. Thank you, Dragonborn. You've done a great service for us all. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic I knew you could do it... I believed in you, and yet... I still didn't think I'd live to see this day. MGRAppJzargo01OutOfScrollsTopic You've done it... just as the prophecy said... MGRAppJzargo01Reject J'zargo sees what you are up to. Very well. MGRAppJzargo01Reject An old woman can get away with almost anything. MGRAppJzargo01Reject Watch this. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response1 Oh. J'zargo takes this to mean it did not go... well. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response1 This was not the intention, to be sure. It is true that J'zargo was slightly concerned there may have been... problems. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response1 But you were not placed in harm's way on purpose. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response1 Still, you are a good friend to J'zargo now, for taking this risk. J'zargo thanks you. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 Ah. No, that was not supposed to happen. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 But... J'zargo is pleased to see that you are here, and not in pieces! MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 You are a good friend to have done this. J'zargo will not forget it. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 I'll get it right this time, I swear. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 This really isn't turning out the way I'd hoped. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 Let me try again... MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 Oh no, that's not it at all. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 There! All better. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 Just wait. Just... I can fix this. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 Oh my. That isn't right! MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 Okay, now don't move at all. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 You have to hold still or this isn't going to work. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 Do you... do you feel all right? You look very, umm, green. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 Oh dear. That wasn't supposed to happen. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 There! Now, I... MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response2 Please hold still, and don't move. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response3 No? MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response3 It is true, J'zargo suspected there might be problems. But this is most disappointing. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30Response3 It is good that you were willing to help J'zargo. This will not be forgotten, friend. MGRAppJzargo01Stage30TopLevel And? Were they magnificent? MGRAppOnmund01EnthirDeal Finally, we have an agreement. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirDeal I look forward to having it back soon. The sooner, the better, in fact. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10BribeTopic No, no. You're not understanding this. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10BribeTopic Onmund made a deal. He made that choice, and now he has to live with it. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10PersuadeTopic Oh, I suppose. But you keep this to yourself; I don't want it being known that I go back on my trades. Understand? MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10PersuadeTopic Yes, you see, the thing is... I'm not concerned with "everyone's best interest." I find I'm only concerned with my own. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10StoryTopic Let's pretend for a moment that a certain individual was looking to acquire a particular staff. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10StoryTopic Let's also pretend that he traded some valuable items for said staff. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10StoryTopic And it was only later that it was realized that this individual might... misuse such a staff. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10StoryTopic The resulting disaster would reflect quite poorly on everyone involved. Are you following me? MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10StoryTopic Yes, I thought we'd gotten past that bit already. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10StoryTopic Onmund's amulet in exchange for my staff. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10TaskInitTopic Look how persistent you are. It's charming, really. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10TaskInitTopic Onmund gave up the first time I said no. But not you... MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage10TaskInitTopic All right. I'll tell you a little story. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStage30BranchTopic Pleasure doing business with you. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStoryGetIt Well, yes. I was completely unaware of the reputation of the other party in this trade. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStoryGetIt I don't want that coming back to haunt me. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStoryHypocrite It's an entirely different situation. I don't expect you to comprehend the nuances of these matters. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStoryHypocrite Regardless, I'm making you a very simple offer. You get me the staff, and I give you Onmund's precious amulet. Do we have a deal? MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStoryPoint You're not very good at this, are you. MGRAppOnmund01EnthirStoryPoint Look, I traded a staff to someone and found out later that was a bad idea. So, I'd like the staff back. Understand now? MGRAppOnmund01OnmundInitialBranchTopic Yes, but it needs to be kept quiet. MGRAppOnmund01OnmundInitialBranchTopic I may have entered into an... agreement with Enthir. He had something I needed, so I traded him something of mine. MGRAppOnmund01OnmundInitialBranchTopic It was a mistake, and now I want back what I gave him. It's an amulet that belonged to my family, and I never should've given it to Enthir. MGRAppOnmund01OnmundInitialBranchTopic But he won't deal with me. Talk to him; see what it'll take to get my amulet back. MGRAppOnmund01OnmundInitialBranchTopic I need your help with something. Something private. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10EnthirInitTopic Oh my. How precious. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10EnthirInitTopic Onmund is too afraid to deal with me himself, and so he's sent you. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10EnthirInitTopic I'll make this very simple for you. All my trades are final. Onmund knew this ahead of time, and went through with it anyway. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10EnthirInitTopic So there's nothing more to be said. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10EnthirInitTopic I've already made it very clear that all of my trades are final. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10WhatTradeTopic It doesn't matter. It's also none of your concern. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10WhatTradeTopic Just talk to him; see if you can convince him to give my amulet back. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10WhySoImportantTopic I told you, it's from my family. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10WhySoImportantTopic I don't... I know they always disapproved of what I wanted in life, to learn magic instead becoming a farmer, or a hunter. MGRAppOnmund01Stage10WhySoImportantTopic But no matter how poorly they may have treated me, they're still my family. I didn't consider that until after I'd made the trade. MGRAppOnmund01Stage20OnItTopic Oh, good. I was really afraid I'd lose it forever. MGRAppOnmund01Stage40BranchTopic Ha! I didn't think he'd really give it back. MGRAppOnmund01Stage40BranchTopic Thank you, friend. It's good to know I can count on you. MGRArniel01InitialBranchTopic You mean the official sort of business? Hmm, well... no. No, not really. MGRArniel01InitialFinalTopic Just... Just bring me some Dwemer cogs. I need to examine them for the methods used in forging them. MGRArniel01InitialFinalTopic Ten of them should be enough for me to get a better understanding of how they were crafted. That's all I need, all right? MGRArniel01InitialFollowUp1 But... I can't help but notice that you're doing quite well for yourself, rising through the ranks and all. MGRArniel01InitialFollowUp1 It may not be "official", but there is a, uhh, project I've been working on. MGRArniel01InitialFollowUp1 I wonder if perhaps you could assist with it. MGRArniel01InitialQuestion01Topic What? MGRArniel01InitialQuestion01Topic No, no. Goodness, no! MGRArniel01InitialQuestion01Topic At least, I don't think so. No, it's just... It's just something I'd prefer to keep to myself. MGRArniel01InitialQuestion02Topic Ah, yes. Umm, no. No, I don't think so. Not at this point. MGRArniel01InitialQuestion02Topic It's just that, well I'm not even really sure it's going to amount to anything just yet. All theoretical right now, you understand. MGRArniel01InitialQuestion02Topic But the implications are quite intriguing, I think. I simply need some experimental results to confirm my suspicions. MGRArniel01Stage20BranchTopic Ah, that's excellent news. This will be most helpful in furthering my research. MGRArniel01Stage20BranchTopic I'm afraid I can't offer you much right now, but please take this. And perhaps, if this is all successful... MGRArniel01Stage20BranchTopic Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's too early to be getting excited. Still, this is most encouraging. MGRArniel01Stage20BranchTopic Thank you again. If I require anything else, I shall be sure and let you know. MGRArniel01Stage20BranchTopic I simply need more pieces of Dwemer equipment to study. It's nothing dangerous... At least, not necessarily. MGRArniel01Stage20BranchTopic And please, let's just... Let's keep this between us. MGRArniel02ArnielStage40BranchTopic Do you? MGRArniel02ArnielStage40BranchTopic Wonderful. I was afraid I'd have to give up, and when I'm so close... MGRArniel02ArnielStage40BranchTopic Thank you for this. I have a great deal of work ahead of me. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10BranchTopic Oh dear. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10BranchTopic He's so afraid to talk to me he's sending you to do it? I should've expected as much. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10BranchTopic I'm afraid you've been a little mis-informed. I have something of mine, that I was going to sell to Arniel. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10FollowUp With all due respect, Arch-Mage, I'm not in a position to just give this away. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10FollowUp I told Arniel what I wanted in exchange for it, and he was unwilling to come up with it. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10FollowUp Now, if you're here on his behalf, I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist on my original payment. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10FollowUp You think you can do what he can't, and I'll sell it to you. Then you're free to run off to him with it, if you like. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10WhatYouWantTopic I have a... friend, let's say, who's interested in a staff. A particular one. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10WhatYouWantTopic It's nothing dangerous, so don't worry. I'm not even sure why he wants it, but then that's not really my concern. He's willing to pay for it. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10WhatYouWantTopic The problem is that it'll be a little difficult to acquire, seeing as how it's in the hands of someone who isn't exactly friendly. MGRArniel02EnthirStage10WhatYouWantTopic So, you bring that staff back here, and I'll consider it payment for the item Arniel was after. MGRArniel02EnthirStage30BranchTopic Well, well. MGRArniel02EnthirStage30BranchTopic All right, you delivered on your end, so I'll deliver on mine. Here's the gem Arniel was after. MGRArniel02EnthirStage30BranchTopic Can't imagine what he expects to do with that... it's warped beyond any ability to capture a soul. MGRArniel02InitialBranchTopic As a matter of fact, there is something you can do for me. MGRArniel02InitialBranchTopic What? Oh, no. No, no. I need more time to research the dwarven machinery. Thank you for offering, though. MGRArniel02InitialFollowUp I had retained Enthir's services in, uhh, acquiring something specific. MGRArniel02InitialFollowUp But now he's refusing to deliver. Could you perhaps speak with him, and see if we can come to some sort of arrangement? MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic It worked, then? Let me see! MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic Goodness, that's it, isn't it?! MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic Yes! It's not perfect, but it's a close enough approximation that it should certianly suffice for initial tests! MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic You've done excellent work here. Truly excellent. There's only one thing missing now, and that should be arriving shortly. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic I'll begin preparations. Thank you again so much for this. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic I'm done for, little cub. Go. Run for it! MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Half-moon Mill. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Heljarchen. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Anga's Mill. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Loreius Farm. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Whistling Mine. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Ivarstead. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Shor's Stone. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Heartwood Mill. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Sarethi Farm. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Barleydark Farm. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Riverwood. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Rorikstead. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Karthwasten. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Old Hroldan. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Kolskeggr Mine. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Stonehills. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Frost River Farm. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic The Empire will pay appropriate compensation for the massacre at Granite Hill. MGRArniel03FinalBranchTopic It seems we may have an agreement. MGRArniel03InitialBranchTopic Terrible, just terrible. I vastly underestimated the heat transfer necessary, and have destroyed my only working model. I'm at a loss. MGRArniel03InitialResponse1 Look, it's all very simple. MGRArniel03InitialResponse1 The Dwemer, they were uhh, masters of magic in a way we can't even begin to conceive of. MGRArniel03InitialResponse1 Their greatest achievement, however, has also been their greatest, shall we say... Mystery. MGRArniel03InitialResponse2 Don't patronize me! MGRArniel03InitialResponse3 Their disappearance, of course! MGRArniel03InitialResponse3 Instant, unexplainable. The stories have fascinated me... Ever since I was young, I wanted to know what really happened. MGRArniel03InitialResponse3 After years and years of work, I'm closing in on a way to investigate what happened through experimentation. MGRArniel03InitialResponse3 Only now... Well, it's simply a disaster. MGRArniel03InitialResponse4 Precisely! MGRArniel03InitialResponse4 What could be worth studying about a long-lost civilization? MGRArniel03InitialTeachSpellBranchTopic Wonderful, just wonderful! I knew I could count on you! MGRArniel03InitialTeachSpellBranchTopic Now this spell is not for defending yourself, but it's just right for heating the Convector. At least three seconds' burn is necessary. MGRArniel03InitialTeachSpellBranchTopic Just place the soul gem inside, and heat the Convector. At least three seconds. You'll almost certainly need to find multiple Convectors. MGRArniel03InitialTeachSpellBranchTopic I suspect it may be due to the nature of the soul gem versus the crystals this was intended for. Destroys the equipment in the process. MGRArniel03InitialTeachSpellBranchTopic But, ahh... It's effective. Three times, and the crystal should be ready for the next step. Isn't this exciting? MGRArniel03InitialWhatWentWrongTopic Without boring you with the, ahh, details, I am attempting to re-create the circumstances of the event. MGRArniel03InitialWhatWentWrongTopic The dwarves were very clever, tapping into and drawing power from the Heart of Lorkhan itself. MGRArniel03InitialWhatWentWrongTopic Lacking the heart of a dead god myself, I was attempting to substitute a rather specific soul gem. The ahh, the one you helped me acquire. MGRArniel03WhatDoIDoTopic I'd go looking myself, but uhh... Yes, there are calculations to double- and triple-check. Many calculations. MGRArniel03WhatDoIDoTopic Perhaps you could seek out these Convectors in Skyrim ruins? I can even teach you the spell to heat them. MGRArniel03WhatDoIDoTopic It's very particular, and very important. MGRArniel03WhatDoIDoTopic Well, yes. The designs for my Convector were based on real dwarven machines, so there may still be some in existence. MGRArniel03WhatsInThisBranchTopic Well, I... Don't you see? MGRArniel03WhatsInThisBranchTopic Unlocking this mystery... The story alone is worth more riches than you can even imagine. MGRArniel03WhatsInThisBranchTopic And perhaps... well, I don't wish to speculate, but... What if we could contact the dwarves? What if they're still out there? Imagine! MGRArniel03WhatWentWrongResponse1 Well, yes. I mean, no. That is, it might, but I'm not completely sure. I'm no tonal architect, I've only read their writings. Scraps, really. MGRArniel03WhatWentWrongResponse1 The soul gem by itself isn't enough, you see. It needs to be altered, purified. The dwarves had machines for this sort of thing. MGRArniel03WhatWentWrongResponse1 I attempted to build my own, based on designs and using parts you helped to provide. My very own Dwarven Convector. MGRArniel03WhatWentWrongResponse1 It worked, but not fully. And the uhh... The device was destroyed in the process. MGRArniel03WhatWentWrongResponse2 Hmm? No, no. No! I'm too close now. Can't take the time. MGRArniel03WhatWentWrongResponse2 Though... Perhaps there's another option. I, umm, I may require further assistance from you. MGRArniel04ArnielStage10EnthirTopic I don't know, I don't know! MGRArniel04ArnielStage10EnthirTopic I've already agreed to pay him quite handsomely for the... well, the item in question. MGRArniel04ArnielStage10EnthirTopic Just... Do whatever it takes to get him to stop lording this over me. MGRArniel04ArnielStage20FollowUp It can't be lost. It just can't! It's irreplaceable, do you understand? MGRArniel04ArnielStage20FollowUp Without it, I cannot finish my work. All these years, so much time, so much energy... MGRArniel04ArnielStage20FollowUp You must find it! It cannot end this way! Not after I've worked so hard! MGRArniel04ArnielStage20Response1 No, no no no. This can't be happening. MGRArniel04ArnielStage20Response2 He has some simple-minded courier delivering it? MGRArniel04ArnielStage20TellEnthirTopic Have you lost your mind? MGRArniel04ArnielStage20TellEnthirTopic Think, please, just for a moment, about what he would do if he knew its true value. MGRArniel04ArnielStage20TellEnthirTopic Do you really believe he would honor our agreement, or go running off to the highest bidder? MGRArniel04ArnielStage20TellEnthirTopic Please, you must set this right. I'm begging you. MGRArniel04ArnielStage20Topic What? MGRArniel04ArnielStage20Topic I... I don't understand. Where is it? MGRArniel04EnthirStage10BranchTopic Oh, by the Divines, you too? MGRArniel04EnthirStage10BranchTopic I've already told him. I don't have it! MGRArniel04EnthirStage10FollowUp You're not listening to me. I don't have it. MGRArniel04EnthirStage10FollowUp I set up the whole deal. A courier was supposed to be bringing it from Morrowind. He never arrived. MGRArniel04EnthirStage10FollowUp Okay? The deal was already done, the thing just never showed up. I can't help that! MGRArniel04EnthirStage10HoldFollowUp If you're getting involved in this, that'd be where you start looking. MGRArniel04EnthirStage10HoldFollowUp Why is this suddenly so important, anyway? MGRArniel04EnthirStage10HoldTopic Last I heard he intended to pass through Eastmarch on his way here. MGRArniel04EnthirStage10HoldTopic Last I'd heard, he was crossing the border from Morrowind into The Rift. MGRArniel04EnthirStage10Response1 Nothing, nothing at all! Arniel already overpaid for... whatever it is. MGRArniel04EnthirStage10Response2 Did I ask you to? Did you hear me say that? MGRArniel04EnthirStage10WhatsTheItemTopic I don't know. He never told me. MGRArniel04EnthirStage10WhatsTheItemTopic He made most of the arrangements himself, he just needed it transported from Morrowind. That's what I agreed to help with. MGRArniel04EnthirStage10WhatsTheItemTopic If I'd known it was so important to him, I'd have charged him more. MGRArniel04EnthirStage10WhereCourierTopic I don't know. Are you not listening at all? MGRArniel04EnthirStage10WhereCourierTopic It was a simple task, so I didn't keep close tabs on it like I do with the dangerous stuff. MGRArniel04HaveEverthingBranchTopic I do... I do indeed. MGRArniel04HaveEverthingBranchTopic Keening, one of the great tools of Kagrenac himself, is finally in my possession. I don't think I really believed this day would come. MGRArniel04InitialBranchTopic No, and at this rate, I never shall! MGRArniel04InitialBranchTopic Enthir is once again holding out on me. He refuses to deliver yet another item absolutely essential to my work! MGRArniel04InitialBranchTopic I am close, so close! You must force him to see reason! MGRArniel04KeeningBigDealTopic This is not just a dagger! MGRArniel04KeeningBigDealTopic This is a dwarven artifact beyond nearly all value. A singular instrument of immense power, a tool of impossible import. MGRArniel04KeeningBigDealTopic Keening, and its counterpart, Sunder. Used by the tonal architects of the Dwemer to tap into the Heart of Lorkhan. MGRArniel04KeeningInitialBranchTopic You didn't touch it did you? Well no, of course you must have! Did you attempt to wield it? And you're not dead? MGRArniel04KeeningInitialBranchTopic Gods, it's a wonder it's in one piece! MGRArniel04KeeningWhatsNextTopic Now... Now we see whether my theories are correct. MGRArniel04Stage20AlreadyHaveItTopic How in the name of Akatosh... How do you have that? MGRArniel04Stage20WhatIsItTopic It... It's very valuable. Critical to my work, and one-of-a-kind. That's all I care to say for now. MGRArniel04Stage30BranchTopic The dagger...? By Akatosh, they didn't even wrap it correctly? MGRejoinFinalBranchTopic Very good. I hope this will allow us to maintain our reputation. MGRejoinFollowUp1 Well, that's good to know. I suggest you tell your people at the College to keep a tighter leash on their mages. MGRejoinInitialBranchTopic I'm afraid so. There's a problem with one of the Jarls here in Skyrim. MGRejoinInitialExplanation1 He's been complaining of a member of the College running amok in his hold. MGRejoinInitialExplanation1 She's been complaining of a member of the College running amok in her hold. MGRejoinInitialExplanation2 We have, of course, severed all ties with the mage in question, but the Jarl isn't appeased. MGRejoinInitialExplanation2 So, the mage needs to be "taken care of," if you understand me. MGRejoinInitialPayback1 I would hate to see our reputation further tarnished. MGRejoinJarlBranchTopic Ah, so they've finally sent someone to deal with that lunatic. MGRejoinJarlBranchTopic Well, is it taken care of? MGRejoinQuestDontHaveGold Then I'm afraid your suspension will stand for now. I'm sorry, but that's the way it has to be. MGRejoinQuestPayGold Yes. I hope this will be enough to maintain order. MGRejoinQuestPayGold Once again, your suspension is lifted. Please try and control yourself. MGRejoinQuestPayGold Very good. I'll see that this is put towards getting things back to normal. MGRejoinQuestPayGold Consider the suspension lifted. MGRejoinQuestPayGold Oh, excellent. I'll see that it gets where it needs to go. MGRejoinQuestPayGold And I'll make sure the suspension is lifted. I'm glad we were able to clear this matter up, and I do hope we don't need to have this talk again. MGRejoinQuestPayGold You don't seem to have the gold on you. Perhaps there's a misunderstanding? MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic Then, as I've said, 1000 gold will be required to set things right. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic I made it rather clear that a donation of 500 gold will clear it up rather neatly. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic As I've said, a donation of 250 should help take care of that. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic It's most unfortunate that we need to have this discussion once again. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic These matters are becoming more difficult to deal with. I'm going to need 1000 gold from you in order to make reparations. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic I also hope that this is the last time we'll need to discuss this. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic Another incident? I must say, I'm disappointed. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic I thought I made it clear that this sort of behavior is totally unacceptable. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic It cannot become widely known that these sorts of things happen here. Work will need to be done to keep this quiet. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic I think a donation of 500 gold on your part is necessary in order to put this behind us. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic Ah, yes. There was an incident, wasn't there? MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic Well, as this is the first time this has happened, I'll make it very clear that the College does not condone that sort of behavior. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic As an act of good faith on your part, I'd advise that you consider donating an amount of gold to the College. MGRejoinQuestTolfdirInitialBranchTopic Strictly to cover damages, you understand. I believe 250 gold should be sufficient. MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic I daresay you've learned all I can teach you. MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic But... That doesn't mean there isn't more out there. MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic No! Noooooooo! MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic The bride has been murdered! Somebody help! MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic What treachery? MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic Aaaaiiiiieeee! MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic Vittoria! No! MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la. La la la, la la la la la laaaaaahhhh... MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic La la la, do do do do do, dum de dum dum... MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic Dum, di di dum, dum di dum, dum di di di di dum da da dum. MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic Ba ba ba, bum ba, ba ba ba, bum ba, ba da da da, dum da da... MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic Dum, di di dum, dum di dum, dum di di di di dum da da dum. MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic I would be fine if they didn't. Have you seen their eyes? They don't have any! Gross. MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic I hope one comes running up here so I can stab it right in the face. MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic Yeah! It'll teach them to steal from us! One of them took my good helmet. MGRitual01InitialBranchTopic The boss is going to cut those creepy cave people to pieces! MGRitual01Response1 Over the years I've heard things. Powerful magics lost to the ages, incredible spells that only the most skilled mages can master. MGRitual01Response1 This is the only thing I've ever found. I think it's better off in your hands. MGRitual02HaveBooksTopic Yes, very good. MGRitual02HaveBooksTopic Here, then, is the first of the Illusion spells you sought. MGRitual02InitialFollowUp Knowledge of truly powerful Illusion spells is here at the College, but it is hidden from those who might misuse it. MGRitual02InitialFollowUp I shall teach you a spell to discern things hidden from others. With it, you will be able to acquire the texts you need. MGRitual02InitialFollowUp Bring all four to me, and I shall use them to inscribe the spells for you. MGRitual02InitialTopic You have gone beyond my teachings, which is quite a feat. I did not think it possible. MGRitual02InitialTopic But there is always more to learn. I believe you are ready for the next step. MGRitual03DremoraBranchTopic You dare bring me here? You must be punished. MGRitual03DremoraInitResponse1 I serve no mortal! MGRitual03DremoraInitResponse2 You control nothing, mortal! MGRitual03DremoraResponse3 Never! MGRitual03DremoraResponse4 I'll tear out your heart first! MGRitual03DremoraResponse5 I... I submit. What is your bidding, master. MGRitual03DremoraResponse6 No, I... I submit. No more. MGRitual03DremoraResponse6 What is your bidding? MGRitual03DremoraSigilStone Yes, my lord. Summon me again, and I shall have your stone. MGRitual03DremoraSigilStone Yes, my mistress. Summon me again, and I shall have your stone. MGRitual03DremoraSigilSummonTopic Your sigil stone. Lord Dagon is... less than pleased at its loss. MGRitual03DremoraStage30BranchTopic I am not your plaything, worm! MGRitual03DremoraSubmissionBranchTopic I am not yours to toy with! MGRitual03InitialBranchTopic How quickly you've advanced. Most impressive. MGRitual03InitialBranchTopic There are spells yet to be learned, powerful spells that can more closely and more permanently bind creatures to your will. MGRitual03InitialBranchTopic But there are risks. There are always risks. You must summon and command an unbound Dremora. MGRitual03InitialBranchTopic Helgen? Has something happened...? MGRitual03InitialBranchTopic Don't worry about me. I know how to lay low. MGRitual03PhinisFollowUp1 Summoning an Unbound Dremora is not like other Conjuration spells. It will not simply do your bidding. MGRitual03PhinisFollowUp1 You must first prove you are in control. MGRitual03PhinisFollowUp1 Here is the spell you need. Go to the top of the Hall of Attainment; I have prepared a place for you there. MGRitual03PhinisPostSceneBranchTopic I have the knowledge I need. And so you may have your stone back, and also please take this. MGRitual03PhinisPostSceneBranchTopic You have done well. MGRitual03PhinisPostSceneBranchTopic And so it is done. MGRitual03PhinisPostSceneBranchTopic Ahh, yes. I see it now. MGRitual03PhinisPostSceneBranchTopic I need only look for a few moments... MGRitual03PhinisPostSceneBranchTopic It's magnificent, isn't it? MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 These spells are difficult, even for one as skilled as I. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 To even begin to inscribe them, I need something very special. A sigil stone from an Oblivion gate. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 I do not have one in my possession. Nor do you, I'm sure. So we require a Daedra to retrieve one for us. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 You will summon a Dremora, and order it to bring a sigil stone to you. I will then inscribe the spells for you. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 Every blade I make honors Malacath. Every rivet, every plate of armor is for him. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 Only a true Orc knows how to temper Orichalcum properly. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 The old traditions are passed down from one generation to the next. The secrets of smithing are passed down as well. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 Lob will one day take my place, and bring honor to our tribe as I have. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 I learn much from Garakh every day. I must learn if I am to take her place. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 I've worked with metal long enough that I almost never burn myself anymore. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 My weapons will someday be as strong as my mother's, and Malacath will be pleased with me. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 The days of staying within Largashbur's walls are over. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 Malacath demands much of us now. We will not fail him again. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 Gularzob has been chosen as chief. He will one day be great, but he has much to learn. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 Largashbur will not soon forget what you have done. We have a second chance thanks to you. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 The ways of the mystic are known to me. I have remedies and cures, should you need them. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 It is good to finally know that Malacath has not forsaken us. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 We have learned from our mistakes. Malacath's needs come first, and we will serve him faithfully. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 I will do my best to lead the tribe, but I don't know why Malacath chose me. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 I am honored to have been chosen to lead. But I know that being picked by Malacath does not mean that I am ready. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 Yamarz betrayed us all. I will never allow that to happen again, so long as I rule. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 Do not raise arms against my people, and you shall always have a place here, Champion of Malacath. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 Atub is wise beyond her years. I take her advice seriously, and you should as well. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 I am... surprised that Gularzob was named chief. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 We are all blood here. One family, one tribe. MGRitual03PhinisResponse1 I will serve Gularzob as best I can, even though I am his elder. MGRitual03PhinisResponse2 I will teach you the spell to summon the Dremora, but know that it will only work in a place properly prepared for the event. MGRitual03PhinisResponse2 Once you have summoned the Dremora, you will order it to deliver to you a sigil stone from an Oblivion gate. MGRitual03PhinisResponse2 Once I have the sigil stone, I shall inscribe the spells that you seek. MGRitual03PhinisResponse3 Because I have no wish to be harmed. MGRitual03PhinisResponse4 If only that were true. MGRitual03PhinisStage20BranchTopic Mine? Oh no, the stone is yours. I simply need to borrow it a moment... MGRitual03PhinisStage20BranchTopic Now, let's see what there is to see. MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic Once again you have come seeking something. MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic The circumstances differ. This time I have what you seek. MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic Are you prepared? MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic The trial awaits. Are you now prepared? MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic We'll come back for you as soon as we've reached our goal. You have my word. MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic No, no. You just stay here and rest. MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic You want to stay here, fine. But the rest of us aren't giving up now. MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic I don't care... We're going all the way in. I want to know what Shalidor hid in here. MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic Don't just stand there! Kill that thing! MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic Guards, get the townspeople to safety! MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic Someone get the battlemages out here. Now! MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic Sentries! What do you see? MGRitual04AugurInitialBranchTopic What in Oblivion is that? MGRitual04AugurResponse1 Colette has already told you. You must be tested before knowledge can be imparted to you. MGRitual04AugurResponse2 Arrogance will serve you poorly. Your worth must be determined before knowledge can be bestowed upon you. MGRitual04AugurResponse2 And so you shall be tested. MGRitual04ColetteAugurFollowUp1 The Augur was a brilliant mage. Truly inspired. Mastered spells others could barely comprehend. MGRitual04ColetteAugurFollowUp1 He was especially gifted when it came to Restoration. He's... Well, he's very particular about who shares the knowledge. MGRitual04ColetteAugurFollowUp1 So you'll need his approval first. Go on, go talk to him. I'm sure he's been paying attention, and will be expecting you. MGRitual04ColetteAugurResponse1 Oh, didn't you know? MGRitual04ColetteAugurResponse2 Oh, goodness no. There are those far more skilled than I. MGRitual04ColetteFollowUp1 It looks like you're ready to speak with the Augur. MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic Look at you. Such a devoted student of Restoration. MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic It's comforting to see that not everyone has dismissed it as entirely as most members of the College. Truly comforting. MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic Which is why I brought the Elder Scroll. MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic You are banished! Alduin, we shout you out from all our endings unto the last! MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic Begone, World-Eater! By words with older bones than your own we break your perch on this age and send you out! MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic Faal Kel...?! Nikriinne... MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic Meyye! Tahrodiis aanne! Him hinde pah liiv! Zu'u hin daan! MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic You are banished! MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic No, damn you! MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic You feel fear for the first time, worm. I see it in your eyes. MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic If I die today, it will not be in terror. MGRitual04InitialBranchTopic Gormlaith! We're running out of time! The battle... MGRitual04TestAcceptTopic Step into the light, and your test begins. MGRitual04TestFollowUp You will rely on your skill as a mage. Not on your belongings, not on your scrolls and potions. Only what lies within. MGRitual04TestFollowUp Survive, and you are worthy. This is the test put before you. Will you accept? MGRitual04TestInfo1Topic Knowledge is power. Knowing spells can be powerful, but applying that knowledge is key. MGRitual04TestInfo1Topic You will be called upon to rely solely on your Restoration spells. MGRitual05TolfdirAccept That would be wonderful. MGRitual05TolfdirAccept I'll be sure and have everything ready. This is exciting, isn't it? MGRitual05TolfdirCompleteBranchTopic Wonderful, just wonderful! MGRitual05TolfdirCompleteBranchTopic And it's just as I suspected. The energies need to be channeled back through the nexus a second and third time... MGRitual05TolfdirCompleteBranchTopic And that's it. I certainly think you deserve the first copy of the tome. Use it well! MGRitual05TolfdirDaggerInfoTopic Not much, I'm afraid. It was named Kahvozein's Fang after the dragon worshipped by this particular sect of the cult. MGRitual05TolfdirDaggerInfoTopic They were said to be quite fond of ritual sacrifices. So fond, in fact, that the high priest spent a great deal of time sharpening the dagger. MGRitual05TolfdirDaggerInfoTopic That way it was always ready for the next inevitable victim. MGRitual05TolfdirDaggerInfoTopic Perhaps not the brightest spot in Skyrim's history, eh? MGRitual05TolfdirInitFollowUp As I've said, I made some progress using the essence of dragon scales. But they're just not quite potent enough. MGRitual05TolfdirInitFollowUp My knowledge of Skyrim's history is far from complete, but I did some research and discovered two things. MGRitual05TolfdirInitFollowUp First, there are ancient references to dragon "heartscales". What little I could learn suggests they may be what I need. MGRitual05TolfdirInitFollowUp Second, there are stories of a dagger called Kahvozein's Fang, said to be sharp enough to carve individual scales off a dragon. MGRitual05TolfdirInitFollowUp First you'll need to retrieve the dagger, then use it to carve a few scales off a dragon. Presumably a deceased one. MGRitual05TolfdirInitialBranchTopic At this very moment? No. However... MGRitual05TolfdirInitialBranchTopic Well, I've been working on something. An improvement on the Ebonyflesh spell. MGRitual05TolfdirInitialBranchTopic I've made progress, but then hit a snag. I think perhaps you could help. MGRitual05TolfdirInitialBranchTopic You are not worthy! MGRitual05TolfdirInitResponse1 I need dragon scales. And not just any dragon scales. MGRitual05TolfdirInitResponse2 I need you to collect some dragon scales. And not just any dragon scales. MGRitual05TolfdirReject Ah, well now you can help me directly! Far more useful, I think. MGRitual05TolfdirReject Please do let me know if you change your mind. MGRitual05TolfdirReminderTopic Not just any dragon scales. Heartscales. Very special. MGRitual05TolfdirReminderTopic You'll need Kahvozein's Fang, of course. MGRitual05TolfdirReminderTopic Then, if you should happen upon the corpse of a dragon, you should be able to use it to slice off a heartscale or two. MGRitual05TolfdirReminderTopic Even just one should be enough for me to complete my research. MGRJzargoSpell01InitialClarifyTopic J'zargo has worked hard on learning new spells, trying new things. This will make J'zargo stand out as a mage. MGRJzargoSpell01InitialClarifyTopic But J'zargo works so hard, there is no time to test these new spells. If you help with the testing, this will make learning easier. MGRJzargoSpell01InitialClarifyTopic J'zargo will give you scrolls, you will use them and report the results. This is a good plan, no? MGRJzargoSpell01InitialClarifyTopic You tell J'zargo when you are ready. MGRJzargoSpell01InitialClarifyTopic Then we will immediately send out a legion to scour the cave and secure the town. Haafingar's people will always be safe under my rule. MGRJzargoSpell01InitialClarifyTopic Your eminence, my scrying has suggested nothing in the area. Dragon Bridge is under imperial control. This is likely superstitious nonsense. MGRJzargoSpell01InitialClarifyTopic I swear to you, unnatural magics are coming from that cave! There are strange noises and lights! We need someone to investigate! MGRJzargoSpell01InitialTopic J'zargo has seen that Tolfdir likes you. MGRJzargoSpell01InitialTopic You must be very skilled with magic, yes? MGRJzargoSpell01InitialTopic J'zargo is working hard, but cannot do it alone. Can you help with this? MGRJzargoSpell01InitialTopic J'zargo is eager to hear how the scrolls are working. MGRJzargoSpell01InitialTopic It is difficult to admit, but J'zargo could still use some help. MGRJzargoSpell01InitialTopic Can you... can you possibly help J'zargo? MGRJzargoSpell01Stage10BranchTopic Ha! You can't resist, can you? MGRJzargoSpell01Stage10BranchTopic Let's see... this one, I think. J'zargo has designed it to be an excellent flame cloak, with a twist. MGRJzargoSpell01Stage10BranchTopic It is especially potent against the undead, and should burn them to a crisp in no time. MGRJzargoSpell01Stage10BranchTopic J'zargo gives you plenty of these scrolls, so you try them and return when you can say whether they work. MGRRogueJarlNotDoneYet Good. One less worry for my people. MGRStage10AmountTopic If you can bring me three more, that would be helpful. MGRStage10AmountTopic I need at least five more, if you can find them. MGRStage10AmountTopic Bring me another seven of them, if you can. MGRStage10AmountTopic Ten more would keep me stocked for a bit. MGRumorsTopic Nobody trusts those mages, way up north in their college. Gods only know what they do up there. MGSuspensionQuestBlockingBranchTopic You've been suspended from the College for what you did. You'd better talk to Tolfdir if you want to get it sorted out. MGSuspensionQuestBlockingBranchTopic I'm sorry, but you've been suspended from the College. I can't be seen talking to you right now. MiddenentertainVelehkOffer Those kids are dead anyway. Killing me won't bring them back. I, on the other hand, have done quite a bit with my time on Mundus. MiddenentertainVelehkOffer Release me, and I'll share a bit of my wealth with you. MiddenHowReleaseVelehk Names have power, lad. You should know by now. Just say "Velehk Sain, I release you.", and "Poof!", I'm on my way. MiddenHowReleaseVelehk Names have power, lass. You should know by now. Just say "Velehk Sain, I release you.", and "Poof!", I'm on my way. MiddenRefuseVelehk Have it your own way, meat. MiddenreleaseVelehk There's a smart lad. Take the map. The loot's hidden there. It'll show itself when you get near. MiddenreleaseVelehk There's a smart lass. Check the map. The loot's hidden there. It'll show itself when you get near. MiddenThreatenVelehk Where I belong is back aboard my ship, on the Abecean. MiddenThreatenVelehk You've no hope of defeating me, pup. Don't bother. Why not broker a bargain, instead? MiddenVelehkTrickery Clever try, scab, but it won't be that easy! MiddenVelehkWealthDetail Years back, I had to ferret away some booty nearby. We'd sunk an Imperial Galleon off the coast. Good plunder, but we needed to travel light. MiddenVelehkWealthDetail We stashed what we couldn't carry, and I hid it with a trick I know. I can point you in the right direction, and we'll each go our separate ways. MiscCareful01 Be careful! MiscCareful02 Hey, watch it! MiscStop01 Don't do that. MiscStop02 What are you doing that for? MiscTakeOwnedObject01 You could have just asked. MiscTakeOwnedObject02 I saw you do that, you know. MMQ204PaarC1A2 Not intentionally. Some hoped he would be gone forever, forever lost. Meyye. MMQ204PaarC1A2 I knew better. Tiid bo amativ. Time flows ever onward. One day he would surface. MMQ204PaarC1A2 Which is why I have lived here. For thousands of mortal years I have waited. I knew where he would emerge but not when. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic It was a cold day. The end of Frostfall is nearly winter in the Jerall Mountains. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic We heard the news at Cloud Ruler by courier, riding hard from the Imperial City. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic 30th of Frostfall, 171. Thirty years ago. The Great War started that day. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic The Thalmor ambassador delivered his ultimatum to the Emperor Titus Mede: the heads of every Blades agent within the Aldmeri Dominion. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic I knew, that day, that it was truly the beginning of the end. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic Come in, come in! Make yourself at home! MQ0030thFrostfallTopic Please. Come in. Musn't talk in the Ratway. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic Come in, come in. Too many ears out there. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic Come in. Quickly now. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic There we are! MQ0030thFrostfallTopic Only a couple more. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic This one always sticks... there we go. MQ0030thFrostfallTopic This'll just take a moment... MQ00ArngeirCeremonyA1 Ah. I sometimes forget you are not versed in the dragon tongue as we are. This is a rough translation: MQ00ArngeirCeremonyA1 "Long has the Stormcrown languished, with no worthy brow to sit upon." MQ00ArngeirCeremonyA1 "By our breath we bestow it now to you in the name of Kyne, in the name of Shor, and in the name of Atmora of Old." MQ00ArngeirCeremonyA1 "You are Ysmir now, the Dragon of the North, hearken to it." MQ00ArngeirDragonsReturn No doubt. The appearance of a Dragonborn at this time is not an accident. Your destiny is surely bound up with the return of the dragons. MQ00ArngeirDragonsReturn You should focus on honing your Voice, and soon your path will be made clear. MQ00ArngeirGreybeards We study the Way of the Voice, according to the teachings of our founder, Jurgen Windcaller. MQ00ArngeirGreybeards Very few are permitted to study with us here at High Hrothgar. MQ00ArngeirGreybeards But in your case, Dragonborn, it is a privilege to guide you towards mastery of your Voice. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsCeremonyTopic We spoke the traditional words of greeting to a Dragonborn who has accepted our guidance. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsCeremonyTopic The same words were used to greet the young Talos, when he came to High Hrothgar, before he became the Emperor Tiber Septim. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsCeremonyTopic Goodbye, my love. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsCeremonyTopic Bye, love. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsCeremonyTopic Conquer your enemies, my love. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsCeremonyTopic I'll be here if you need me, love. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsCeremonyTopic You're going? I'll miss you, dear. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsCeremonyTopic Leaving? Take the world by storm, dearest. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsCeremonyTopic I'll be here, my dear. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsLeader Five. Our leader, Paarthurnax, lives alone on the peak of the Throat of the World. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsLeader When your Voice can open the path, you will know you are ready to speak to him. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsNoTalk Their Voices are too powerful for anyone not trained in the Way to withstand. Even a whisper could kill you. MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsNoTalk Approach Master Borri and he will gift you his knowledge of "Wuld." MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsNoTalk Approach Master Borri and he will gift you his knowledge of "Nah." MQ00ArngeirGreybeardsNoTalk Approach Master Borri and he will gift you his knowledge of "Kest." MQ00ArngeirSkyAbove Sky above, Voice within. MQ00ArngeirSkyGuardYou Sky guard you. MQ00ArngeirSkyGuardYou Hush, Salma. We aren't alone. MQ00ArngeirSkyGuardYou Treasure, that's what! Get off your scaly rump and let's go. MQ00ArngeirSkyGuardYou We must gather our strength. Who knows what's inside? MQ00ArngeirSkyGuardYou How can you just sit here and wait? We should be in there! MQ00ArngeirWayoftheVoice The Voice was a gift of the goddess Kynareth, at the dawn of time. She gave mortals the ability to speak as dragons do. MQ00ArngeirWayoftheVoice Although this gift has often been misused, the only true use of the Voice is for the worship and glory of the gods. MQ00ArngeirWayoftheVoice True mastery of the Voice can only be achieved when your inner spirit is in harmony with your outward actions. MQ00ArngeirWayoftheVoice In the contemplation of the sky, Kynareth's domain, and the practice of the Voice, we strive to achieve this balance. MQ00ArngeirWindGuideYou Wind guide you. MQ00DelphineBlades1 Exactly. Nobody even remembers our name these days. MQ00DelphineBlades1 We used to be known across Tamriel as the protectors of the Septim Emperors. Those days are long gone, though. MQ00DelphineBlades1 For the last two hundred years, we've been searching for the next Dragonborn to guide and guard, as we are sworn to do. MQ00DelphineBlades1 But we never found one. Until now. MQ00DelphineWhoAreThalmor The faction that rules the Aldmeri Dominion. The ones who almost destroyed the Empire during the Great War, thirty years back. MQ00DelphineWhoAreThalmor There's no worse enemy to humankind in Tamriel. The Empire barely survived the last war. The Thalmor don't intend to lose the next one. MQ00EsbernThalmorHuntingYouTopic Well. They've been hunting down Blades since the Great War, on general principle. MQ00EsbernThalmorHuntingYouTopic But if you mean me, now, in particular... maybe they've started to get an inkling of what the return of the dragons means. MQ00EsbernThalmorHuntingYouTopic I don't suppose they want the world to end any more than we do. Or at least, they'd prefer to end it on their terms. MQ00EsbernWhoAreYouTopic Hasn't she told you? We were both Blades, back when that still meant something. MQ00EsbernWhoAreYouTopic Now we're just fellow fugitives from the Thalmor. I didn't know she was still alive, but I'm not surprised. She was a survivor. MQ00PaarDragonrendLoreTopic I cannot tell you in detail. I never heard it used. Kogaan. It was the first Thu'um created solely by mortals. MQ00PaarDragonrendLoreTopic It was said to force a dragon to experience the concept of Mortality. A truly vonmindoraan... incomprehensible idea to the immortal dov. MQ00PaarElderScrollWhatToDoA1 The first mortals that I taught the Thu'um - the first Tongues. The leaders of the rebellion against Alduin. MQ00PaarElderScrollWhatToDoA1 They were mighty, in their day. Even to attempt to defeat Alduin... sahrot hunne. The Nords have had many heroes since, but none greater. MQ00PaarElderScrollWhatToDoTopic Return it here, to the Tiid-Ahraan. Then... Kelle vomindok. Nothing is certain with such things... MQ00PaarElderScrollWhatToDoTopic But I believe the Scroll's bond with the Tiid-Ahraan will allow you a... a seeing, a vision of the moment of its creation. MQ00PaarElderScrollWhatToDoTopic Then you will feel - know - Dragonrend, in the power of its first expression. MQ00PaarElderScrollWhatToDoTopic You will see them... wuth fadonne... my friends - Hakon, Gormlaith, Felldir. MQ00RemansWallTopic Alduin's Wall was created by the ancient Akaviri Dragonguard, the forerunners of the Blades. MQ00RemansWallTopic One of the lost secrets of the Blades. Where they recorded all they knew of Alduin and his return. Part history, part prophecy. MQ00RemansWallTopic Its location was lost for centuries, but I know where it is: Sky Haven Temple, an ancient Blades sanctuary, hidden within the crags of the Reach. MQ00ThalmorAllTooEasy Too easy. MQ00ThalmorKilltheBladesAgentFemale There's the Blades agent! Kill her! MQ00ThalmorKilltheBladesAgentMale There's the Blades agent! Kill him! MQ00UlfricGreybeards They live in seclusion near the top of the Throat of the World, the great mountain of Skyrim. MQ00UlfricGreybeards They're masters of the Way of the Voice - of Shouting. MQ00UlfricGreybeards It's a great honor for them to summon you. They speak to very few - in fact, they hardly speak at all. MQ00WayoftheVoiceA1 The Dragonborn is an exception to all the rules - the Dragon Blood itself is a gift of the gods. MQ00WayoftheVoiceA1 If we accept one gift, how can we deny the other? As Dragonborn, you have received the ability to Shout directly from Akatosh. MQ00WayoftheVoiceA1 We therefore seek to guide you on the proper use of your gift, which transcends the restrictions which bind other mortals. MQ00WayoftheVoiceA2 That is commendable. But remember, the Dragon Blood is itself a gift of Akatosh. Do not try to deny that gift. MQ00WayoftheVoiceA2 Your destiny requires you to use your Voice - why else would Akatosh have bestowed this power upon you? MQ00WayoftheVoiceA2 If you remember to use your Voice in service to the purpose of Akatosh, you will remain true to the Way. MQ101CombatBarks01 Stormcloaks! Get them! MQ101CombatBarks02 The prisoners are escaping! MQ101CombatBarks03 You won't leave Helgen alive! MQ101CombatBarks04 Stormcloaks! MQ101CombatBarks05 Stormcloaks! Filthy traitors! MQ101CombatBarksSons01 You won't take us alive! MQ101CombatBarksSons02 Freedom or Sovngarde! MQ101CombatBarksSons03 For Ulfric and Skyrim! MQ101CombatBarksSons04 Death to the Empire! MQ101CombatBarksSons05 Imperial dogs! MQ101CombatLinesShared01 What in the Eight Divines is this thing? MQ101CombatLinesShared02 Keep your eyes on it! MQ101CombatLinesShared03 It's still coming! MQ101CombatLinesShared04 By Ysmir! Nothing kills it! MQ101CombatLinesShared05 Die! For the love of the gods, die! MQ101CombatLinesShared06 Use everything we have! MQ101CombatLinesShared07 Fall, damn you, fall! MQ101CombatLinesShared08 What does it take to kill this monster? MQ101CombatLinesShared09 It won't die, it just keeps coming! MQ101CombatLinesShared10 How does it move so damn fast? MQ101CombatLinesShared11 Move! Move! MQ101CombatLinesShared12 How in Oblivion do we kill this thing? MQ101DecisionTopic The path to Paarthurnax lies through this gate. I will show you how to open the way. MQ101DecisionTopic Enough of your dire predictions! We will talk about this another time. MQ101DecisionTopic If we win. This war is going to drag on for years. I can feel it. We need to prepare for a long struggle ahead. MQ101DecisionTopic You're right. Why dilute the glory with too many souls fighting over it? We'll drive out the Empire and be celebrated as heroes when we win. MQ101DecisionTopic With respect, Jarl. You can't ask everyone to throw themselves against trained Legionnaires. Let's leave the fighting to the Stormcloaks. MQ101DecisionTopic We are poised for glory, Jod. The Empire will never take Dawnstar while every last man, woman, and child here draws breathe! MQ101DecisionTopic I don't want to talk about it. MQ101DecisionTopic You don't want to talk about it, or you don't know? MQ101DecisionTopic I don't want to talk about it. MQ101DecisionTopic What is this feud you have with your wife? What started this? MQ101DecisionTopic Never. Not until we turn this mine around, drive Beitild out of business, and force her to apologize to me for everything she's done! MQ101DecisionTopic If you don't mind me saying, Leigelf. You're working too hard. Go home. MQ101DecisionTopic I'll, uh, just take that as a compliment. MQ101DecisionTopic It's good to hear you say that. I wish my wife was as simple as you. MQ101DecisionTopic Where else would I go? Dawnstar is my home and working here is my job. MQ101DecisionTopic Thank you for sticking by me. MQ101DecisionTopic Uh, yes ma'am. MQ101DecisionTopic You'll shut your mouth and get back to work, or you won't be a miner or a soldier by the day's end. Hear me? MQ101DecisionTopic Pride of the what? This isn't the Legion, boss. We're miners, not soldiers. MQ101DecisionTopic Work hard, now! The pride of Iron-Breaker Mine is on the line. MQ101DecisionTopic Drafted into a war, how could my life get worse? MQ101DecisionTopic No he isn't! He's the enemy, and we are going to crush him. MQ101DecisionTopic We're at war with Leigelf? Isn't he your husband? MQ101DecisionTopic Keep at it. We need to work twice as hard now that fat-headed Leigelf has declared war! MQ101DecisionTopic I... well, let me think about it. MQ101DecisionTopic Your people's war, I mean. The Nords. What kind of life would we be giving our little one if we stayed here? MQ101DecisionTopic War of mine? It's not my war, Seren! MQ101DecisionTopic I'm just worried about raising a child in the middle of this war of yours. MQ101DecisionTopic Hammerfell? I'm not against the idea, but why? MQ101DecisionTopic Rustleif, I've been wondering. Maybe after the baby is born, we should move to Hammerfell. MQ101DecisionTopic Not hot enough. Does your Skyrim ever get warm, husband? MQ101DecisionTopic The forge is hot today. MQ101DecisionTopic So much for old soldiers settling down to a life of luxury, eh? MQ101DecisionTopic Of course. I would have it no other way. MQ101DecisionTopic With you by my side, is that right Horik? MQ101DecisionTopic No. If we must fight, we will, and you will lead us to victory. As you always have. MQ101DecisionTopic I'm fine, Horik. I just... are you worried about this war? MQ101DecisionTopic Are you all right? You seem tired. MQ101DecisionTopic You weren't. There's just not much to it. MQ101DecisionTopic I see. You're a good soldier, Horik. I'm sorry for intruding. MQ101DecisionTopic No. Can't say there was. My parents died when I was young. You and the Legion have been my only family since. MQ101DecisionTopic What about your family? There must have been someone waiting for you back at the farm. Wondering if you were ever coming home? MQ101DecisionTopic What's to say? I was born on a farm, joined the Legion when I came of age, and I've served you ever since. MQ101DecisionTopic You never talk much about yourself, do you Horik? I swear, these past 30 years you've been at my side, and I think I barely know you. MQ101DecisionTopic You made it! MQ101DecisionTopic We need to get inside. Follow me! MQ101DecisionTopic Come on! We need to get inside before that dragon comes back! MQ101DragonAttackShared01 Get going! MQ101DragonAttackShared02 Move! MQ101DragonAttackShared03 What are you waiting for? Go! MQ101DragonAttackStormcloak4Shared01 They're hurt, but they'll live. MQ101DragonAttackStormcloak4Shared02 We'll have to carry this one on our backs.... MQ101DragonAttackStormcloak4Shared03 Another second out there with the dragon, and they'd both be dead.... MQ101DragonAttackStormcloak4Shared03 You Imperial bastards! MQ101DragonAttackStormcloak4Shared03 Death to the Stormcloaks! MQ101DragonAttackStormcloak4Shared03 Justice! MQ101FriendPickpocketShared01 So that's why you were in the cart. Thieving. MQ101FriendShared01 Come on, this way. MQ101FriendShared02 Let's keep moving. MQ101FriendShared03 Looks like the way out's up ahead. Come on. MQ101FriendShared04 Follow me. MQ101FriendShared05 Let's go. MQ101FriendShared06 We better keep going. MQ101FriendShared07 Over here! MQ101FriendShared08 This way, come on! MQ101FriendShared09 Don't fall behind! MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic I think we're almost out. Come on! MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Let's take our time. I think we can sneak by her if we're careful. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic We must be near the entrance for that bear to have made its den here. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic I'll follow your lead. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Easy does it. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Not now. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic I hate those things. Too many eyes or something. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Looks like we're on our own now. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Since nobody's trying to kill me just now, maybe we should rest for a minute. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Let's see if we can find a way out of here. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic We'd better stick together down here. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic I'm glad to be out of that place. I hope this leads somewhere. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic These bastards call themselves Imperial Legionnaires... MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Come on. Sounds like trouble. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Look around. Grab anything that looks useful. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic There may be a way out, down this way. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic I guess that'll teach me to try to reason with a Stormcloak. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Let's see where this goes. We can't be the only survivors. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Find yourself a weapon. You're going to need it. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic We'd better get out of here. I don't think this place is going to stand up to much more of this. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic Don't worry. We'll get out of here, somehow. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic I can't decide if things are about to get worse or better. MQ101HadvarBlockingTopic At least we don't have a dragon to worry about, for the moment. MQ101HadvarShared01 If you want to die, so be it. MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared01 Dragon! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared02 It's the End Times! The End Times have come! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared03 By the gods, a dragon! How? MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared04 A dragon? It's a dragon! Gods help us! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared05 What's happening? MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 Divines help us! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 In here! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 This way! Come on! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 Over here! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 I just need to gather some more potions. MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 Grab everything important and let's move! Dragon's burning everything to the ground! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 These Imperials have potions in here. We're going to need them. MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 What are you doing? We need to get out of Helgen. Now! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 Just give the General some time! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 I'm not waiting to be killed by a dragon! We need to fall back! MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 Orders are to wait until General Tullius arrives. MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 Just give me a minute. Let me think. MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 Where in Oblivion are we supposed to go? Where's the way out? MQ101HelgenTownsfolkShared06 Look at him, General Tullius the Military Governor. MQ101OfficerShared01 Don't let those Stormcloaks get away! MQ101RalofBlockingTopic I think we're almost out. Come on! MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Take it slow and careful, and I think we can sneak by her. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic We must be near the entrance for that bear to make its den here. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic I'll follow your lead. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic I've got your back, don't worry. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Not now. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Biggest damn spiders I've ever seen. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic The others'll have to find another way out. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic This is the longest day I can remember. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Let's see if we can find a way out of here. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic We'd better stick together down here. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic I sure hope there's a way out somewhere down here. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Here's the noble Empire in all its glory. Pah. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Come on! MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Look around. Grab anything useful. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic There may be a way out, down this way. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic We'd better get moving before any more Imperials show up. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Let's see where this goes. Better than going back outside with that dragon. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Get yourself a weapon. I'm going to need your help if we run into any more Imperials. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic We've got to find a way out of here. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Don't worry. We'll get out of here, somehow. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic I don't think this day is ever going to end. MQ101RalofBlockingTopic Better in here than out there. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Help us and you may earn a pardon. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Hey, weren't you on the carts with the Stormcloaks? MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Ah, well, if Hadvar vouches for you I guess it must be all right. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic I saw Caius.. that dragon just grabbed him and... I don't know how I made it out of there... MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Nothing for it but to keep moving. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Better down here than out there. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic A dragon.... First in a thousand years.... MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic We need to find a way out of here. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic What? MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Worry about yourself. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Thank Talos you came along... I thought I was going to die down here. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Imperial dogs... there's nothing that's too low for them. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic You were with us on the carts, weren't you? Not your lucky day, eh? MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic I wonder if there's any more Imperials hiding down here somewhere. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Ralof seems to like you. That's good enough for me. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic What do you make of it... the dragon? What does it mean? MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic What next? MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic I hope someone knows where we're going. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Better down here than out there. MQ101SoldierBlockingTopic Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. MQ101TorturerBlockingTopic Leave me to my work. Unless you plan to stay and help? MQ102ACivilWarTopic People are rightly stirred up about the damn Thalmor being allowed to roam around arresting people, just for worshipping Talos. MQ102ACivilWarTopic But was it worth tearing Skyrim apart, and maybe destroying the Empire? No, Ulfric will have a lot to answer for in the end. MQ102ACivilWarTopic Nords have always supported the Empire, and the Empire has always been good for Skyrim. MQ102ACivilWarTopic I just hope the war doesn't come to Riverwood. There's enough trouble in the world without those Stormcloaks stirring up more. MQ102ADragonTopic So did I! If the damn Stormcloaks somehow found one, or woke it up... the war might be about to take an ugly turn. MQ102ADragonTopic Hard to believe it was just a coincidence, that the first dragon anyone's seen for centuries attacks just as Ulfric was about to be executed. MQ102AElisifTopic Ah, I forget you're new to Skyrim. Jarl Elisif, I should say, although only because she was married to Jarl Torryg when he was murdered. MQ102AElisifTopic Ulfric murdered Torygg, you know. Walked right into his palace in Solitude and killed him. Shouted him to death, if you believe the stories. MQ102AElisifTopic That's what started this whole war. The Empire couldn't ignore that. Once the jarls start killing each other, we're back to the bad old days. MQ102AHadvarExitChargen1 Closest town from here is Riverwood. My uncle's the blacksmith there. I'm sure he'd help you out. MQ102AHadvarExitChargen2 It's probably best if we split up. Good luck. I wouldn't have made it without your help today. MQ102AHadvarIntroA0 It's all right, Irileth. I want to hear what he has to say. MQ102AHadvarIntroA0 It's all right, Irileth. I want to hear what she has to say. MQ102AHadvarIntroA1 I don't blame you for being angry about it. I would be, too, in your shoes. MQ102AHadvarIntroA1 But it was all a mistake. You weren't supposed to be on that cart with those Stormcloak traitors. MQ102AHadvarIntroA1 And the Imperial Legion needs your help, especially now, with that dragon out there somewhere, and Ulfric back on the loose. MQ102AHadvarIntroA2 No. Not yet. After all, a dragon... something out of old tales and legends... no one could have expected that. MQ102AHadvarIntroA2 But you can bet he'll be trying to figure it out. This could shift the whole balance of the war. MQ102AHadvarIntroA2 If you want to help stop that dragon, your best bet is to go to Solitude and join up with the Legion. MQ102AHadvarIntroA3 Stick close. Damn rebels could be anywhere. Don't worry, though. General Tullius will have them on the run soon enough. MQ102AHadvarIntroA4 If I make it back to Solitude, I'll put in a good word for you with General Tullius. MQ102AHadvarIntroA4 The Legion could sure use someone like you. Good luck. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Changed your mind? Come with me. I'm heading to Riverwood. It's just up the road and my uncle Alvor is the blacksmith there. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic I said no! No adventures, no theatrics, no thief-chasing! MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic You'll never be in charge of this family with that attitude, loving husband. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic The only thing I need to do, dear wife, is make sure profits are up, no matter what. If Thongvor won't do the dirty work, I will. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Humph. Who's running the Silver-Bloods? You or your brother? You need to tell Thongvor that he should settle this himself or step down. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Someone has to keep the silver production running, Betrid, and that means keeping Mulush and Nepos in line once in a while. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Did I hear correctly, Thonar? Is your brother really asking you to settle another dispute between Mulush and Nepos? MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Very good, Thongvor. It relieves me to hear you say that. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Oh, very well. I'll send my brother. He'll straighten this out. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Look at these figures, Thongvor! Ore yield is down by half, and the amount of silver bars being smelted is slipping even more than that. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Reburrus, there is a war being fought across all of Skyrim, and you bother me with the usual mundane reports about silver? MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Thongvor, I have the latest reports from Cidhna Mine and the smelter. We should go over them immediately. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic What do I do to deserve such hatred? You give people good food and good prices, and all they do is insult you. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic If you ever think of throwing meat at me, I will have you dragged off to Cidhna Mine so fast the guards will yank those filthy arms of yours off. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic The only people I offend are cheats who don't pay me enough gold coin, or idiots who don't know good meat when I throw it at their faces. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Ugh. You're the most disgusting merchant I have ever seen. The guards should take you away. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic I don't need to know if it's fresh from this distance. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic What's wrong? You have to look at the blood closely to see the quality of the meat. How else will you know it's fresh? MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic That's disgusting, get that rotting carcass away from me! MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic You there, pretty lady. You need some fresh meat for your family? Just look at the blood coming from this cut.... MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Hmm. Maybe in a few seasons I could afford such a treasure. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic They are popular with the nobility there, yes. This particular bracelet is a copy of one worn by a Crown Princess. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Sentinel? That's in Hammerfell, correct? And you say these bracelets are only worn by the nobility? MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic I do have one set of bracelets in a style that is popular with the nobility in Sentinel. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Kerah, do you have anything... exotic? Something no other woman in Markarth would be wearing. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Oh, that sounds lovely. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Care to try out a new ring, or perhaps my daughter could make you a necklace... MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic I need to get back to the customers. We'll talk more of this when I come home tonight. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic As they always have, along with those crazed Forsworn. They've driven off the color that used to make this city great. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic We don't have travelers from Elsweyr or Hammerfell anymore, Endon. Only the natives and the Nords stay in Markarth now. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Humph. Used to be everyone in Markarth wore a necklace showing his home province, from Elsweyr to High Rock to Hammerfell and Cyrodiil... MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic I'm afraid the necklaces aren't selling well. Customers are not interested in medallions engraved with the symbols of other provinces. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic How are the necklaces selling, my wife? We could make more. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic They are perfect. Thank you both. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Yes, I have. Adara made the rings herself. She is learning to bend the metal well. MQ102AHadvarIntroNewTopic Hello, dear husband. Have you brought more silver jewelry for me to sell? MQ102AHadvarJoinLegion1 Listen, you should go to Solitude and join up with the Imperial Legion. We could really use someone like you. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegion1 And if the rebels have themselves a dragon, General Tullius is the only one who can stop them. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegion1 Place the crystal in the central apparatus, and we can start the process for focusing it. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegion1 Took an incredible amount of work to get it running again. Now I'm hoping it'll all be worth it. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegion1 Here it is. Magnificent, isn't it? MQ102AHadvarJoinLegion1 No one seems to know. Perhaps the return of the Dwemer. Perhaps the end of the world. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegion1 Waiting for what? MQ102AHadvarJoinLegionNo Sure, I understand. It's not easy to go from being executed by the Legion one day to joining up the next. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegionNo But I think you'll see that the Legion is Skyrim's only hope for real peace right now. I know you'll make the right choice in the end. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegionTopic Of course! I know, today wasn't the best introduction to the Legion, but I hope you'll give us another chance. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegionTopic The Legion could really use someone like you, especially now. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegionTopic And if the rebels have themselves a dragon, General Tullius is the only one who can stop them. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegionTopic General Tullius has his headquarters in Castle Dour, in the city of Solitude, northwest of here. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegionTopic You'll want to talk to Legate Rikke. She deals with the new recruits. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegionTopic I'll be sure to put in a good word for you if I get back to Solitude first. MQ102AHadvarJoinLegionYes I hope so. The Legion is Skyrim's only hope right now. Come on, we'd better get moving. MQ102AJarlBalgruufA1 I don't think he likes either Ulfric or Elisif much. Who can blame him? MQ102AJarlBalgruufA1 But I've no doubt he'll prove loyal to the Empire in the end. He's no traitor. MQ102AJarlBalgruufA2 Of course. Skyrim has always been part of the Empire. MQ102AJarlBalgruufA2 That doesn't mean I support everything the Empire's been doing lately, but Nords have never been fair-weather friends. MQ102AJarlBalgruufTopic Jarl Balgruuf? He rules Whiterun Hold. A good man, perhaps a bit over-cautious, but these are dangerous times. MQ102AJarlBalgruufTopic So far he's managed to stay out of the war. I'm afraid it can't last, though. MQ102AJarlBalgruufTopic You'll see! It was a dragon! It'll kill us all and then you'll believe me! MQ102AJoinLegionInterrupted We're not done here. MQ102ALegionOath1 "...and unwavering obedience to the officers of his great Empire." MQ102ALegionOath1 "...and unwavering obedience to the officers of his great Empire." MQ102ALegionOath2 "May those above judge me, and those below take me, if I fail in my duty." MQ102ALegionOath3 "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!" MQ102ALegionOath4 Welcome to the Imperial Legion, soldier. MQ102ALegionOath4 Just remember, we take care of our own. Once you're in the Legion, you're in it for life. MQ102ALegionOath4 Speak to Beirand, he's normally out by the forge. He'll get you outfitted. MQ102ALegionOath4 Now, if I'm not mistaken. Legate Rikke has a special assignment for you. MQ102AlvorHelpA1 I'd be glad to help a friend of Hadvar. But you didn't answer my question - how do you know him? MQ102AlvorHelpA2 Did he, now? That doesn't sound like my nephew at all. I doubt he'd be mixed up with the likes of you. MQ102AlvorHelpB1 What? A dragon? In Helgen? MQ102AlvorHelpB1 That explains what I saw earlier... flying down the valley from the south... I was hoping I was wrong about what I thought it was... MQ102AlvorHelpB2 Suit yourself. I hate to turn away any friend of Hadvar, but in times like these... you understand if I can't just take your word for it. MQ102AlvorHelpC1 A dragon... here in Skyrim. What's this world coming to? First the war, now dragons... trouble loves company, they say... MQ102AlvorHelpC2 You're right, I saw it. Didn't want to believe my own eyes, is all. MQ102AlvorHelpD0 There's something you could do for me. For all of us here. MQ102AlvorHelpD1 The Jarl needs to know if there's a dragon on the loose. Riverwood is defenseless... MQ102AlvorHelpD1 We need to get word to Jarl Balgruuf in Whiterun to send whatever soldiers he can. If you'll do that for me, I'll be in your debt. MQ102AlvorHelpForcegreetTopic Like I said, I'm glad to help in any way I can. MQ102AlvorHelpForcegreetTopic But I need your help. We need your help. MQ102AlvorWhenHadvarShowsUp When he shows up here and vouches for you, then I'll see what I can do for you. MQ102ASonsofSkyrimA1 Right, the leader of the Stormcloaks. MQ102ASonsofSkyrimA1 They claim to be fighting for Skyrim's freedom, but the war is really all about Ulfric wanting to be High King of Skyrim. MQ102ASonsofSkyrimA2 Oh, right, you were caught trying to cross the border into Skyrim, weren't you? MQ102ASonsofSkyrimA2 You're not kidding. Ulfric's the leader of the Stormcloaks - you know, the traitors trying to break Skyrim away from the Empire. MQ102ASonsofSkyrimTopic You didn't know? That was Ulfric Stormcloak and his top lieutenants. MQ102ATalosTopic I guess that wasn't such a big deal elsewhere in the Empire, but here it's caused a lot of resentment. Native son and all that. MQ102ATalosTopic Even I'll admit it hasn't been the Empire's finest hour. But it wasn't like the Emperor had any choice, did he? MQ102ATalosTopic If he hadn't signed the peace treaty with the Thalmor, they would have destroyed the Empire - then where would Skyrim be? MQ102ATalosTopic That's the part that Ulfric's supporters always conveniently forget about. Unless the Empire stands together, the Thalmor will destroy us all. MQ102ATalosTopic It's from that treaty that ended the Great War, remember, when the Emperor was forced by the Thalmor to outlaw Talos worship. MQ102ATalosTopic We didn't pay much attention to it when I was a boy - everyone still had their little shrine to Talos. MQ102ATalosTopic But then Ulfric and his "Sons of Skyrim" started agitating about it, and sure enough the Emperor had to crack down. MQ102ATalosTopic Dragging people off in the middle of the night... one of the main causes of this war, if you ask me. MQ102BalgruufIntroCW03 Oh, yes? I wonder what that old busybody wants now. MQ102BalgruufIntroCW03 Whatever it is, it will have to wait until after I've finished dealing with this dragon situation. MQ102BalgruufIntroCW03 And I'm sure he told you it was urgent. Well, he's not the only Jarl in Skyrim with problems to deal with. MQ102BalgruufIntroCW03 Whatever it is, it will have to wait until after I've finished dealing with this dragon situation. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenA0 You were at Helgen when it was attacked? You saw this with your own eyes? MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenA1 Really? You're certainly... forthright about your criminal past. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenA1 But it's none of my concern who the Imperials want to execute. Especially now. What I want to know is what exactly happened at Helgen. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 I should have guessed Ulfric would be mixed up in this. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 That would be best. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 If you'll excuse me, I'll return to my duties. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 I'll not stand idly by while a dragon burns my hold and slaughters my people! MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 We should not... MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 Succeed at this, and you'll be rewarded. Whiterun will be in your debt. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 I'm sure he will prove most useful. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 I'm sure she will prove most useful. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 Of course, Jarl Balgruuf. You seem to have found me an able assistant. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 This is a priority now. Anything we can use to fight this dragon, or dragons. We need it, quickly. Before it's too late. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 Go ahead and fill him in with all the details. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 Go ahead and fill her in with all the details. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 Farengar, I see you've already met my new friend here. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 I'm sure you two will get along famously. MQ102BalgruufIntroHelgenB2 Farengar, I think I've found someone who can help you with your dragon project. MQ102BalgruufIntroRiverwoodA1 Alvor? The smith, isn't he? Reliable, solid fellow. Not prone to flights of fancy... MQ102BalgruufIntroRiverwoodA1 And you're sure Helgen was destroyed by a dragon? This wasn't some Stormcloak raid gone wrong? MQ102BalgruufIntroRiverwoodA1 Gerdur? Owns the lumber mill, if I'm not mistaken. Pillar of the community. Not prone to flights of fancy... MQ102BalgruufIntroRiverwoodA1 And you're sure Helgen was destroyed by a dragon? This wasn't some Stormcloak raid gone wrong? MQ102BalgruufIntroTopic Well done. You sought me out, on your own initiative. You've done Whiterun a service, and I won't forget it. MQ102BalgruufIntroTopic One moment. MQ102BalgruufIntroTopic So. You were at Helgen? You saw this dragon with your own eyes? MQ102BalgruufIntroTopic What's this about Riverwood being in danger? MQ102BalgruufIntroTopic Well. I trust you have something vitally important to tell me. Important enough to interrupt me in the middle of council? MQ102BalgruufIrilethWasRight By Ysmir, Irileth was right! MQ102BalgruufMessageFromCW03 Oh, yes? We'll get to that, after I've finished dealing with this dragon situation. MQ102BalgruufReward Here, take this as a small token of my esteem. MQ102BalgruufReward There is another thing you could do for me. Suitable for someone of your particular talents, perhaps. MQ102BalgruufReward Come, let's go find Farengar, my court wizard. He's been looking into a matter related to these dragons and... rumors of dragons. MQ102BCivilWarTopic The Empire may have been good for Skyrim once upon a time, but those days are long past. MQ102BCivilWarTopic Banning the worship of Talos was the last straw. Thalmor everywhere, dragging people off for honoring our own gods! MQ102BCivilWarTopic I'm glad Ralof is helping drive them out of here. If I was a bit younger, I might have joined the fight myself. MQ102BCivilWarTopic I've got enough to worry about, taking care of my family. I don't concern myself with such matters. MQ102BDragonTopic What? Oh, hardly! I don't think even Ulfric could pull a dragon out of his pocket. MQ102BDragonTopic Lucky for us it attacked when it did, eh? I wasn't looking forward to getting a shave from the Imperial headsman. MQ102BElisifA1 Some say murdered, but it was a lawful challenge in the old way. MQ102BElisifA1 Ulfric called him out as a traitor to Skyrim, and killed him in single combat. MQ102BElisifA1 If Torygg couldn't defend his throne, he had no business being High King. MQ102BElisifA2 No, not until the Moot meets to choose another. And it won't meet until one side or the other wins the war. MQ102BElisifA2 Don't worry, though. Ulfric is our rightful High King. He'll drive out the Empire and Skyrim will have peace at last. MQ102BElisifTopic I suppose she's Jarl Elisif now. She married High King Torygg just before Ulfric killed him. The Empire supports her claim to be High Queen. MQ102BElisifTopic I don't really have anything against her - not her fault that her husband Torygg was bought and paid for by the Empire. MQ102BElisifTopic But she's nothing but a puppet for the Empire now, with her husband Torygg dead. Ulfric will make sure she never takes the throne as High Queen. MQ102BGerdurGiveKey Here's a key to the house. Stay as long as you like. If there's anything else you need, just let me know. MQ102BJarlBalgruufA1 I wouldn't say that. But he and Ulfric have been at odds for years, and I'm afraid Balgruuf will end up siding with the Empire because of it. MQ102BJarlBalgruufA1 But it's hard to believe that even Balgruuf would choose Elisif over Ulfric. MQ102BJarlBalgruufB1 Of course. Ulfric's cause is just. It's time for Skyrim to rid itself of the Empire. MQ102BJarlBalgruufTopic Jarl Balgruuf? I don't mean to be disrespectful, as he's ruled Whiterun Hold well for years, but he seems in over his head now. MQ102BJarlBalgruufTopic He's been trying to stay out of the war, but it can't last. He's going to have to pick a side. I'm afraid he's going to make the wrong choice. MQ102BJarlBalgruufTopic Come on. Give me your hand, I'm getting you out of here. MQ102BJarlBalgruufTopic It's too late for that. Leave me. Save yourself. MQ102BJarlBalgruufTopic The wounds are deep, Vilod! I can't stop the blood. MQ102BJarlBalgruufTopic Tell my family I fought bravely. MQ102BJarlBalgruufTopic Torolf! MQ102BJarlBalgruufTopic Gods... Everyone get back! MQ102BJarlBalgruufTopic See the inn on the other side? Jump through the roof and keep going! MQ102BRalofExitChargen1 My sister Gerdur runs the mill in Riverwood, just up the road. I'm sure she'd help you out. MQ102BRalofExitChargen2 It's probably best if we split up. Good luck. I wouldn't have made it without your help today. MQ102BRalofJoinStormcloaks1 You know, you should go to Windhelm and join the fight to free Skyrim. You've seen the true face of the Empire here today. MQ102BRalofJoinStormcloaks1 If anyone will know what the coming of the dragon means, it's Ulfric. MQ102BRalofJoinStormcloaksA0 You should come to Windhelm with me and join the fight to free Skyrim. You've seen the true face of the Empire here today. MQ102BRalofJoinStormcloaksA0 If anyone will know what the coming of the dragon means, it's Ulfric. MQ102BRalofJoinStormcloaksTopic Damn right. Just like all true sons of Skyrim should. MQ102BRalofJoinStormcloaksTopic Damn right. You don't have to be a Nord to fight for Skyrim's freedom. MQ102BRalofJoinStormcloaksTopic Ulfric's capital is Windhelm, northeast of here. You'll want to talk to Galmar Stone-Fist, Ulfric's right-hand man. He handles the new recruits. MQ102BRalofJoinStormcloaksTopic I'll be sure to put in a good word if I get to Windhelm ahead of you. MQ102BRiverwoodHelpTopic Of course. Take what you need. MQ102BRiverwoodHelpTopic Of course. Here's a key to the house. Stay as long as you like. If there's anything else you need, just let me know. MQ102BRiverwoodHelpTopic But what's this all about? What are you two doing here? MQ102BRiverwoodHelpTopic Of course. Take what you need. MQ102BRiverwoodHelpTopic But what's this all about? What are you two doing here? MQ102BRiverwoodHelpTopic Ralof? How do you know him? MQ102BRiverwoodHelpTopic Like I said, I'm glad to help in any way I can. Help yourself to whatever you need, within reason. MQ102BSonsofSkyrimA1 Right. The leader of our fight against the Empire. I forget that most people don't know what he looks like, except for those Imperial wanted posters. MQ102BSonsofSkyrimA2 Oh, right, they said you were captured crossing the border. MQ102BSonsofSkyrimA2 Still, I'm surprised you haven't heard of Ulfric. He's our leader - the leader of the Stormcloaks. MQ102BSonsofSkyrimTopic Seriously, you don't know? That was Ulfric Stormcloak himself. MQ102BStormcloakOath1 "...Jarl of Windhelm and true High King of Skyrim." MQ102BStormcloakOath2 "As Talos is my witness, may this oath bind me to death and beyond..." MQ102BStormcloakOath3 "...even to my lord as to my fellow brothers and sisters in arms." MQ102BStormcloakOath4 Now you're one of us. MQ102BStormcloakOath4 Which means you get to tag along on a little trip with me. MQ102BStormcloakOath4 Oh, and here. You're a Stormcloak now, you ought to look the part. MQ102BWhiterunTopicTopic Just head north - you can't miss it. It's the capital of Whiterun Hold. MQ102BWhiterunTopicTopic Jarl Balgruuf still hasn't declared for one side or the other, so at least you won't run into any Imperials along the way. MQ102BWhiterunTopicTopic Cross the river and then head north. You'll see Whiterun on its hill as you pass the falls. MQ102GalmarJoinTopic Changed your mind? You ready to pledge your blood and honor for Skyrim's freedom? MQ102GalmarRacistReply Never said that. Just that we don't get many of you wanting to join, that's all. MQ102GerdurHelpA2 You did? We heard that Ulfric was captured... MQ102GerdurHelpA2 ... no, sorry, but in times like these I can't just take the word of a stranger who wanders into town claiming to be my brother's friend. MQ102GerdurHelpB1 A dragon? In Helgen? It can't be... although... MQ102GerdurHelpB1 It would explain what I saw earlier... flying down the valley from the south... I thought I must have just been seeing things... MQ102GerdurHelpB2 I'm sorry to turn you away. I hope you understand. MQ102GerdurHelpB2 But look... if you need work, Hod can always use help at the mill. MQ102GerdurHelpC1 I don't know why... but I actually believe you. You've got the look of someone who's just seen a dragon. MQ102GerdurHelpC1 Things just go from bad to worse. First the war, now dragons... what's this world coming to? MQ102GerdurHelpC2 You're right, I saw it. But... how's that possible? Dragons don't exist... they're just stories from long ago... MQ102GerdurHelpD0 There's something you could do for me. For all of us here. MQ102GerdurHelpD1 The Jarl needs to know if there's a dragon on the loose. Riverwood is defenseless... MQ102GerdurHelpD1 We need to get word to Jarl Balgruuf in Whiterun to send whatever troops he can. If you'll do that for me, I'll be in your debt. MQ102GerdurHelpForcegreetTopic I'm glad to assist you in any way I can. MQ102GerdurHelpForcegreetTopic But I need your help. We need your help. MQ102GerdurHelpForcegreetTopic That's right! Don't worry, Uncle Ralof, I won't let those soldiers sneak up on you. MQ102GerdurHelpForcegreetTopic Aw, mama, I want to stay and talk with Uncle Ralof! MQ102GerdurHelpForcegreetTopic Hush, Frodnar. This is no time for your games. MQ102GerdurHelpForcegreetTopic Hod. Just come here. MQ102GerdurHelpForcegreetTopic What is it, woman? Sven drunk on the job again? MQ102GerdurNeedRalofsWord If you really are Ralof's friend, I'll be glad to help you. But you didn't answer my question - how do you know him? MQ102Hello It's nice to be back in a friendly spot, huh? MQ102Hello Listen, I'm going to lay up here for a while. You can make your own way to Solitude from here. MQ102Hello I'd recommend heading to Whiterun, just down the road from here. From there you can take a carriage to Solitude. MQ102Hello I hope I'll see you in Solitude. Good luck. MQ102Hello Come on. I'll feel better once we're under cover in Riverwood. MQ102Hello I hope that dragon isn't still flying around here somewhere. MQ102Hello I still almost can't believe it... a real, live dragon... MQ102Hello What do you need? MQ102Hello Yeah? What is it? MQ102Hello Did you really see a dragon? MQ102Hello Make yourself at home. MQ102Hello Take what you need, my friend. Within reason, of course. MQ102Hello Namira grind your bones for my bread! MQ102Hello I will drink your blood and feast on your flesh! MQ102Hello I will feast on you! MQ102Hello Glory to Namira! MQ102Hello Glory to the repulsive! MQ102Hello Not here. We will meet at Reachcliff Cave. MQ102Hello Bring Verulus here. The Lady of Decay will do the rest. MQ102Hello Go ahead. Eat. MQ102Hello Soon, Namira's blessing will be yours. MQ102Hello We will sate the hunger together. MQ102Hello Don't fear the unknown, the hidden, the wretched. MQ102HodDragonA1 Sure, sure. It's just, you know, not every day I meet someone who's laid eyes on a dragon. MQ102HodDragonA2 Well I'll be! That'd be a sight to see. MQ102HodDragonA2 Not that I actually want to see one, understand. I hope that dragon stays far away from here. MQ102HodDragonA3 Don't even say such things! I hope that dragon stays away from Riverwood. We don't need that kind of trouble. MQ102HodDragonTopic So you saw a dragon, did you? Tell me, what was it like? As big as a house? MQ102IrilethForcegreetTopic What's the meaning of this interruption? Jarl Balgruuf is not receiving visitors. MQ102IrilethForcegreetTopic I just... MQ102IrilethForcegreetTopic Who's this, then? MQ102IrilethForcegreetTopic My lord. Please. You have to listen. MQ102IrilethForcegreetTopic I only counsel caution. We cannot afford to act rashly in times like these. MQ102IrilethForcegreetTopic If the news from Helgen is true... well, there's no telling what it means. MQ102IrilethForcegreetTopic My lord. Please. This is no time for rash action. I just think we need more information before we act. MQ102IrilethForcegreetTopic What would you have me do, then? Nothing? MQ102IrilethIntroA1 Well, that explains why the guards let you in. Come on then, the Jarl will want to speak to you personally. MQ102IrilethIntroA2 As housecarl, my job is to deal with all dangers that threaten the Jarl or his people. So you have my attention. Now, explain yourself. MQ102IrilethIntroB1 You know about Helgen? The Jarl will want to speak to you personally. Approach. MQ102IrilethIntroB2 Whatever you have to say to the Jarl, you can say to me. MQ102IrilethIntroC1 I'm starting to think... MQ102IrilethSpeakToJarl You'd better speak to the Jarl, then. MQ102JoinLegionNo I see... Well, the Legion will still be here when you change your mind. Rikke believes in you. And I'm starting to see why. MQ102JoinLegionNo Consider this. What greater glory than to serve the Emperor and his citizens here in Skyrim, in these days of greatest need? MQ102JoinLegionYes Well, then. Repeat after me. MQ102JoinLegionYes "Upon my honor I do swear undying loyalty to the Emperor, Titus Mede II..." MQ102JoinLegionYes Well, then. Repeat after me. MQ102JoinLegionYes "Upon my honor I do swear undying loyalty to the Emperor..." MQ102RalofIntroA1 All right. If I make it back to Windhelm, I'll make sure Ulfric knows how you helped me. MQ102RalofIntroA1 Skyrim needs people like you, if we ever hope to regain our freedom from the damned Empire. Good luck. MQ102RalofIntroBlocking I was hoping you'd change your mind. Come on. I'm heading to Riverwood, just up the road. My sister Gerdur will help us out. MQ102RalofIntroBlocking To reach the heights of the Companions, you must join with us in the shared blood of the wolf. MQ102RalofJoinStormcloaksA1 Well... maybe not. Dragons haven't been seen in Skyrim for an age or more. MQ102RalofJoinStormcloaksA1 But wherever that dragon came from, and whatever it wants, Ulfric will get to the bottom of it. You can count on that. MQ102RalofJoinStormcloaksA1 Besides, you have your own score to settle with the Empire now. And with that dragon. MQ102RalofJoinStormcloaksNo Yeah, sure, I understand. No need to decide now. MQ102RalofJoinStormcloaksNo But I know that after you think about what you saw today, you'll realize that Skyrim deserves to be free. MQ102RalofJoinStormcloaksYes I hope so. Skyrim needs people like you to fight for her freedom. MQ102RalofJoinStormcloaksYes Come on, we'd better get moving. MQ102RaolofIntroA2 Keep an eye out for Imperials. They still hold this entire region. As long as we don't do anything stupid... we should be all right. MQ102RiverwoodHelpTopic Of course. Take what you need. MQ102RiverwoodHelpTopic Of course. Take what you need. MQ102RiverwoodHelpTopic But what's all this about? What are you two doing here? MQ102RiverwoodHelpTopic Hadvar? How do you know him? MQ102RiverwoodHelpTopic Like I said, I'm glad to help in any way I can. Help yourself to whatever you need, within reason. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Surely even down in Cyrodiil people have heard news of the war in Skyrim? MQ102StormcloaksTopic The Nords are tired of spending our blood fighting the Empire's wars, and paying for the Empire's decadence with our taxes. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Ulfric is our rightful High King. He's leading the fight to drive the Empire out of Skyrim, once and for all. MQ102StormcloaksTopic You haven't heard of the civil war in Skyrim? I guess down in Cyrodiil people have other things to worry about. MQ102StormcloaksTopic It's pretty simple. Ulfric founded the Stormcloaks years ago, as a sort of private army to advance his ambitions. MQ102StormcloaksTopic He's always used the ban on the worship of Talos to stir people up against the Empire. MQ102StormcloaksTopic He never succeeded in getting much support, so a few months ago he murdered the High King! That got the Empire's attention. MQ102StormcloaksTopic That looks like the way out! I knew we'd make it! MQ102StormcloaksTopic Whew. That was close. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Sneaking is overrated, eh? MQ102StormcloaksTopic Almost there. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Go ahead. I'll follow your lead and watch your back. MQ102StormcloaksTopic I'd rather not tangle with her right now. Let's try to sneak by. Just take it nice and slow, and watch where you step. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Hold up. There's a bear just ahead. See her? MQ102StormcloaksTopic I guess we'd better try this way. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Hmm. That doesn't go anywhere. MQ102StormcloaksTopic We'd better push on. The rest of them will have to find another way out. MQ102StormcloaksTopic No going back that way, now. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Good dog. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Stupid dog. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Let's see where this goes. MQ102StormcloaksTopic This way. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Come on, hurry up. MQ102StormcloaksTopic Better to stick together down here. MQ102StormcloaksTopic That thing was a dragon. No doubt. Just like the children's stories and the legends. The harbingers of the End Times. MQ102UlfricCaptureTopic I was assigned to Ulfric's guard. We were on our way to Darkwater Crossing, in the south of Eastmarch. MQ102UlfricCaptureTopic The Imperials were waiting for us. As pretty an ambush as I ever saw. We were outnumbered five to one, at least. MQ102UlfricCaptureTopic Ulfric ordered us to stop fighting. Didn't want us all to die for nothing, I guess. MQ102UlfricCaptureTopic I thought they were taking us south to Cyrodiil. Parade us in front of the Emperor. But then we stopped in Helgen, and you know the rest. MQ102UlfricCaptureTopic A masterstroke by General Tullius! He's only been in charge here for a few months, but he's turned things around for the Empire. MQ102UlfricCaptureTopic We've been trying to catch Ulfric since the war started, but he always seemed to slip through our fingers... like he knew we were coming. MQ102UlfricCaptureTopic This time, the General turned the tables on him. Ulfric rode right into our ambush with only a few bodyguards. MQ102UlfricCaptureTopic He surrendered pretty meekly, too. So much for his death-or-glory reputation. MQ102UlfricCaptureTopic I thought we were taking Ulfric back to Cyrodiil, but I guess the General changed his mind. You know the rest. MQ102WhiterunTopicTopic Just head north - you can't miss it. MQ102WhiterunTopicTopic It's the capital of Whiterun Hold, the biggest and the best of the nine holds of Skyrim. But don't take my word for it. MQ102WhiterunTopicTopic Cross the river and then head north. You'll see it, just past the falls. MQ102WhiterunTopicTopic When you get to Whiterun just keep going up. When you get to the top of the hill, you're at Dragonsreach, the Jarl's palace. MQ102WhiterunTopicTopic Just follow the road north. When you get to Honningbrew Meadery, turn left and the road will take you to the city gates. MQ102WhiterunTopicTopic It's not far. We used to go to the market there every month or so, until the roads got so dangerous with the war and all. MQ103ASoldierBlockingTopic You must be the new recruit. Welcome to the Legion. MQ103ASoldierBlockingTopic At least we got the damn crown. I hope it was worth it. MQ103ASoldierBlockingTopic I wish the Legate would let us clear out of here. Place gives me the creeps. MQ103ASoldierBlockingTopic I don't know what we're doing here, but orders are orders. MQ103ASoldierBlockingTopic I keep thinking I see something moving in the shadows... MQ103ASoldierBlockingTopic I hope we don't run into anything worse than Stormcloaks in here. MQ103ASoldierBlockingTopic It's the waiting that gets me. MQ103ASoldierBlockingTopic I don't like the look of this place. MQ103ASoldierBlockingTopic Nobody allowed in. Ulfric Stormcloak's orders. Consider yourself warned. MQ103AUlfricBookA1 So you as good as admit you're working for the Imperials. Yet you walk in here, and ask to join me. What are you playing at? MQ103AUlfricBookA2 The Imperials wouldn't have just let you walk away. Remember that. MQ103AUlfricBookB1 You're not short of guts, are you? What's your game? MQ103AUlfricBookB1 Why would Tullius waste resources getting the crown only to give it to me? Poisoned perhaps? No. He's not that cunning. MQ103AUlfricBookB1 Alright. I believe you. You aren't the first to turn away from the Empire in disgust. MQ103AUlfricBookB1 But remember - you're one of us now, forever. Whatever Imperial loyalties you may have had... that's all in the past, forgotten. MQ103AUlfricBookB1 Now, to prove yourself to me, I have a task for you. Take my axe, and deliver it to the Jarl of Whiterun. MQ103BalgruufBlockingTopic Farengar can explain the situation better than I can. MQ103BalgruufBlockingTopic Farengar is probably puttering around in his lab. Day and night. I'm not sure he ever sleeps. MQ103BalgruufBlockingTopic Bring back this tablet that Farengar wants and I'll be in your debt. MQ103BalgruufBlockingTopic That tablet is your priority now. Bring that back from Bleak Falls Barrow and I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about. MQ103BalgruufBlockingTopic I'll introduce you to Farengar. He can be a bit... difficult. Mages. You know. MQ103BKorvanjundIntroTopic I've found the final resting place of the Jagged Crown. Can you believe it? Well, I'm almost certain. MQ103BKorvanjundIntroTopic We're headed to Korvanjund. But, if old King Borgas is indeed buried there, we're bound to run into trouble of some kind. MQ103BKorvanjundIntroTopic Your fellow Stormcloaks are already assembling outside the tomb. I'll meet you there as soon as I'm finished up here. MQ103BKorvanjundIntroTopic You hear anything? MQ103BKorvanjundIntroTopic But do not make the mistake of underestimating the Legion. Plenty of them are Nords same as us. MQ103BKorvanjundIntroTopic Follow me. Quickly and quietly now. I want their guts on the ground before they even know we're here. MQ103BleakFallsA1 Well. Must preserve some professional secrets, mustn't we? I have my sources... reliable sources. MQ103BRalofBlockingA0 I'm glad I'll have you beside me in there. This place chills my blood, and I don't care who knows it. MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic You must be the new unblooded. Welcome to the fight, brother. MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic You must be the new unblooded. Welcome to the fight, sister. MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic At least we got the damn crown. I hope it was worth it. MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic I wish Galmar would hurry it up. We shouldn't be here. MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic I don't know what we're doing here. Ulfric must have his reasons. MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic I keep thinking I see something moving in the shadows... MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic What are we waiting for? MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic I hope we don't run into anything worse than Imperials in here. MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic Keep a sharp eye out. MQ103BSoldierBlockingTopic Don't interfere with Imperial Legion business. Now move along, unless you want three inches of steel in your gut. MQ103BTulliusBookA1 You... what? How could you possibly... MQ103BTulliusBookA1 Oh, so you're trying to play both sides, is that it? What do you really want? MQ103BTulliusBookA2 You'd do well to get out of here before I change my mind and have you locked in irons... MQ103BTulliusBookB1 Well... you did show remarkable initiative. And you didn't have to bring the crown to me... MQ103BTulliusBookB1 But let me warn you - joining the Legion is for life. Any previous loyalties... I trust we understand each other. MQ103BTulliusBookB1 You can prove your new allegiance to me, by delivering an important message to the Jarl of Whiterun. MQ103BUlfricBookA1 That's the spirit. I'll get all the details from Galmar when he gets back. Now then... MQ103BUlfricBookA1 Didn't you hear the thundering sound as you returned to Whiterun? MQ103BUlfricBookA1 That was the voice of the Greybeards, summoning you to High Hrothgar! MQ103BUlfricBookA1 This hasn't happened in ... centuries, at least. Not since Tiber Septim himself was summoned when he was still Talos of Atmora! MQ103BUlfricBookA2 The blood of our fallen heroes will make Skyrim free, never doubt it. Also, never doubt me or Galmar. Now then... MQ103BUlfricBookA3 Damn it. What were they doing there? Imperial spies are everywhere. Never forget that... I trust you gave them a thrashing? Now then... MQ103FarengarBleakFallsBarrowTopic An old tomb, built by the ancient Nords, perhaps dating back to the Dragon War itself. MQ103FarengarBleakFallsBarrowTopic Ah. Maybe you just want to know how to get there. It's near Riverwood, a miserable little village a few miles south of here. MQ103FarengarBleakFallsBarrowTopic I'm sure some of the locals can point you in the right direction once you get there. MQ103FarengarDragonWarA1 Oh, no. Many were killed, of course. But many survived into historical times. MQ103FarengarDragonWarA1 Why, this very palace was built by one of Balgruuf's ancestors to hold a captive dragon. Hence its name - Dragonsreach. MQ103FarengarDragonWarTopic I'm not surprised you've never heard of it. Even I used to think it was just a myth. MQ103FarengarDragonWarTopic But not anymore. The Dragon War was a real event, although only the barest glimmer of the actual events has come down to us. MQ103FarengarDragonWarTopic Far back in the Mythic Era, the dragons were worshipped as gods in Skyrim. MQ103FarengarDragonWarTopic Many of the monumental ruins that still dot the landscape were, in fact, built as temples to the dragons. MQ103FarengarDragonWarTopic The details are lost, but at some point the Nords rebelled. After a long and terrible war, the Nords overthrew their dragon overlords. MQ103FarengarGiveBleakFallsObjective I, ah, learned of a certain stone tablet said to be housed in Bleak Falls Barrow - a "Dragonstone," said to contain a map of dragon burial sites. MQ103FarengarGiveBleakFallsObjective Go to Bleak Falls Barrow, find this tablet - no doubt interred in the main chamber - and bring it to me. Simplicity itself. MQ103FarengarIntroA0 Yes, I could use someone to fetch something for me. MQ103FarengarIntroA0 Well, when I say fetch, I really mean delve into a dangerous ruin in search of an ancient stone tablet that may or may not actually be there. MQ103FarengarIntroA1 Straight to the point, eh? No need for tedious hows and whys. I like that. Leave those details to your betters, am I right? MQ103FarengarIntroA2 Ah, no mere brute mercenary, but a thinker - perhaps even a scholar? MQ103FarengarIntroA2 You see, when the stories of dragons began to circulate, many dismissed them as mere fantasies, rumors. Impossiblilities. MQ103FarengarIntroA2 One sure mark of a fool is to dismiss anything that falls outside his experience as being impossible. MQ103FarengarIntroA2 But I began to search for information about dragons - where had they gone all those years ago? And where were they coming from? MQ103FarengarIntroA3 You are eager to begin your adventure. Excellent. The sooner begun, the sooner done, eh? MQ103FarengarIntroAlchemy What? I'm not even... ah, I see. You have some knowledge of the alchemical art. MQ103FarengarIntroEnchanting Where? I would never... ah, I see. You are a fellow enchanter. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic So the Jarl thinks you can be of use to me? Oh yes, he must be referring to my research into the dragons. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Hrongar. Don't be so hard on Avenicci. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Whatever happened when you killed that dragon, it revealed something in you, and the Greybeards heard it. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic If they think you're Dragonborn, who are we to argue? MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic You'd better get up to High Hrothgar immediately. There's no refusing the summons of the Greybeards. It's a tremendous honor. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic That's the Greybeards' business, not ours. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic It's just that... what do these Greybeards want with him? MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic It's just that... what do these Greybeards want with her? MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic I meant no disrespect, of course. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Nord nonsense?! Why you puffed-up ignorant... these are our sacred traditions that go back to the founding of the First Empire! MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Capable as he may be, I don't see any signs of him being this, what, "Dragonborn." MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Capable as she may be, I don't see any signs of her being this, what, "Dragonborn." MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Hrongar, calm yourself. What does any of this Nord nonsense have to do with our friend here? MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Good. You're finally here. The Jarl's been waiting for you. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic The Blackblood girl? Now there was a fighter. If I didn't know better, I'd say she was a Forsworn woman. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Hey, remember that girl, Eisa? The one who sliced open that pickpocket they threw in here? MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Honestly, I'm not certain. I've yet to be allowed into the monastery. Perhaps one day. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Aren't the Greybeards expecting some supplies? MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic Not today. I'm just not ready to make the climb to High Hrothgar. The path isn't safe. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic On your way up the 7,000 Steps again, Klimmek? MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic You did well here today. I don't think the truce will last long, but that will not be on your account. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic I fear this truce will not last. You gave the Empire too much. Ulfric will not let that stand for long. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic I fear this truce will not last. General Tullius will be looking for any opportunity to regain the advantage. MQ103FarengarIntroForcegreetTopic You had best take advantage of this truce while it lasts. MQ103FarengarIntroHaveStone Ah! The Dragonstone of Bleak Falls Barrow! You already found it! You are cut from a different cloth than the usual brutes the Jarl foists on me. MQ103FarengarIntroMage Please forgive my earlier rudeness. I am so often interrupted by visitors wandering in, I can occasionally become quite savage. MQ103FarengarIntroMage Now... what did you say you wanted? MQ103FarengarIntroMagic What? I never even cast... ah, I see. You have some knowledge of the Higher Art. MQ103FarengarIntroTopic Ah, indeed? The Jarl... Oh yes, he must be referring to my research into the dragons. MQ103FarengarIntroTopic Hmm? What? Project? You think you could help me? I really don't think so. MQ103FarengarIntroTopic Yes, my Jarl. MQ103FarengarIntroTopic Irileth, send a detachment to Riverwood at once. MQ103FarengarIntroTopic Enough! MQ103FarengarIntroTopic The Jarl of Falkreath will view that as a provocation! He'll assume we're preparing to join Ulfric's side and attack him. MQ103FarengarIntroTopic It's in the most immediate danger, if that dragon is lurking in the mountains... MQ103FarengarIntroTopic My lord, we should send troops to Riverwood at once. MQ103FarengarIntroTopic What do you say now, Proventus? Shall we continue to trust in the strength of our walls? Against a dragon? MQ103FarengarNeverMind The Jarl can be found in the Great Hall, probably sitting on his Jarl's throne. Not over here in a wizard's laboratory. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 You'll have to see the Jarl about that. Maybe his steward, Avenicci. I'm sure one of them will pay you appropriately. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Here he comes! Find cover and make every arrow count! MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Oh, I thought you were already on your way to Bleak Falls Barrow... MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 What are you still doing here? The Jarl said retrieving that stone tablet is a priority. Remember? MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Wait for me. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Now, let me show you something else I found... very intriguing... I think your employers may be interested as well... MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Hmm? Ah, yes, the Jarl's protege! Back from Bleak Falls Barrow? You didn't die, it seems. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 You have a visitor. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Just send me a copy when you've deciphered it. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 You went into Bleak Falls Barrow and got that? Nice work. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 So your information was correct after all. And we have our friend here to thank for recovering it for us. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 I'd advise you all to trust in the strength of your sword arm over tales and legends. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 I've been all across Tamriel. I've seen plenty of things just as outlandish as this. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 You wouldn't understand, Housecarl. You ain't a Nord. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 That's it, son. Make me proud. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Still alive, prisoner? Keep close to me if you want to stay that way. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 That a boy. You're doing great. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Gods guide you, Hadvar. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Haming, you need to get over here. Now! MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Get up, papa! Get up! MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA1 Stay close to the wall! MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookA2 That is where your job ends and mine begins. The work of the mind, sadly undervalued in Skyrim. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookB1 My... associate here will be pleased to see your handiwork. She discovered its location, by means she has so far declined to share with me. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookB1 My... associate will be pleased at your resourcefulness. She discovered its location, by means she has so far declined to share with me. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Ah! The Dragonstone of Bleak Falls Barrow! Seems you are a cut above the usual brutes the Jarl sends my way. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Time is running, Farengar, don't forget. This isn't some theoretical question. Dragons have come back. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Yes, yes. Don't worry. Although the chance to see a living dragon up close would be tremendously valuable... MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Oh, have no fear. The Jarl himself has finally taken an interest, so I'm now able to devote most of my time to this research. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Good. I'm glad you're making progress. My employers are anxious to have some tangible answers. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Perhaps dating to just after the Dragon War. If so, I could use this to cross-reference the names with other later texts. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic You see? The terminology is clearly First Era or even earlier. I'm convinced this is a copy of a much older text. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic What did it do? Is it attacking the watchtower? MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Uh... that's right. We saw it coming from the south. It was fast... faster than anything I've ever seen. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Let's go. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic The pain's a little less than before, but it still hurts bad enough. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic It's not as bad as before, but I still can't get a good night's sleep. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic I ain't going to lie, it's still pretty bad. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic The fever's down a bit, an' I can almost see straight. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic I still can't hold nothin' down, but it's better than yesterday. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic My joints ache, I can't eat nothin' and my head feels like a furnace. I've seen better days. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic I feel better already. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Gods bless you, healer. MQ103FarengarRetrieveBookTopic Thank you. The pain is already easing. MQ103GalmarAtKorvanjundAttack That's what I like to hear. MQ103GalmarAtKorvanjundTopic Get the crown. We will keep an eye out for more of those dustmen. MQ103GalmarAtKorvanjundTopic That crown should be around here somewhere. Just keep an eye out for the bonewalkers... MQ103GalmarAtKorvanjundTopic The Imperials are here in force. Stick together. MQ103GalmarAtKorvanjundTopic What's the Legion doing here? Damn Imperial spies... Well, should be fun for us, at least. They don't seem to know we're here yet. MQ103GalmarAtKorvanjundTopic Ready to spill some Imperial blood for Skyrim? MQ103GalmarAtKorvanjundTopic You ready? MQ103GalmarAtKorvanjundWait Even the Imperials might eventually decide to patrol their perimeter. Get yourself ready! MQ103GalmarBloodyNoseForImperials Get to Windhelm with the crown as quick as you can. Tell Ulfric he owes me a drink. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic Good to see you, my friend! I knew you'd make a proper Legionnaire. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic I'm glad you'll be with me in there. I don't like the looks of this place... and I'm not talking about the Stormcloaks. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic I remember you... You were with us at Helgen... I heard you came around and picked the right side. Welcome to the Legion! MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic I'm glad you're with us. I don't like the looks of this place... and I'm not talking about the Stormcloaks. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic No politics, Thongvor. I told you before. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic Sometimes I miss the Legion, back when the Empire stood up for Skyrim. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic Your family's success burdens you, does it? MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic I grow tired of counting coin all day. Put steel in my hand, not gold. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic Hello, my friend. Come to visit the forge? MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic Flattery doesn't suit you, Thongvor. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic I was about to say how impressed I was that you always managed to put it back together. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic Well, if you had learned to swing it correctly. A sword is an extension of the arm, not a meat cleaver. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic Remember that old rusty sword I had? Damn thing must have had over a hundred chips in it. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic It's fine. Much better than the rickety tools I had in the Legion. MQ103HadvarBlockingTopic How's the forge today? MQ103HadvarIntroA1 These old ruins... They don't want us here, the ancient ones. Better left alone. MQ103HadvarIntroA2 You, too, huh? I'd much rather a straight up fight than creeping around a place like this. MQ103HadvarIntroB1 But never mind all that. We're the Emperor's soldiers. We'll do our duty no matter what stands in our way, right? MQ103ImperialStartCombatYell1 Stormcloaks! MQ103ImperialStartCombatYellExterior It's the rebels! Defend the entrance! MQ103KorvanjundIntroTopic Ulfric's right-hand man, Galmar Stonefist, has located what he believes is the final resting place of the Jagged Crown. MQ103KorvanjundIntroTopic We're going to make sure he doesn't get his hands on it. MQ103KorvanjundIntroTopic The rest of my men are already assembling outside Korvanjund. I'll meet you there as soon as I finish up here. MQ103OrgengarInnkeeperA1 Inn's closed. Bar's still open, though. MQ103OrgengarInnkeeperA1 Feel free to sit and put your head down on the table for as long as you like. I won't bother you. MQ103OrgengarInnkeeperTopic Out. She owns the place, she does what she wants. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Ha, I knew you'd join up! Great news. We'll take back Skyrim together, eh? MQ103RalofBlockingTopic I'm glad I'll have you beside me in there. This place chills my blood, and I don't care who knows it. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic I remember you... you were with us at Helgen. I heard you joined us. Welcome to the Stormcloaks! MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Ooh... This place really chills the blood, eh? MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Just keep at it, or Mulush will beat you. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Divines, I'm tired. This is too much work. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic I know what I'm doing. Stop telling me. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Careful of the molten metal. That gets on you, kiss your fingers goodbye. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Yes, Mulush. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic If I see you sneaking off with even one speck of silver, I'll break your leg and throw you into the river. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic I don't want any of you thieving workers even thinking about stealing any silver. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic No Mulush. I'll work harder. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic I could smelt metal in half the time as you weak-willed pink-skins. Do I have to do everything? MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Are you complaining? Work. If you have strength to whine, you have strength to smelt. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Mulush, we need a break. The heat from the smelter is too much. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Did you just talk back to me? I'm not paid to listen. I'm paid to keep you working. Now work. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic I'm being as careful as I can. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Careful. You spill one drop of silver, I'm taking it out of your hide. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Cedran said he'd... what am I paying you for? Next time, you bring the shipment in yourself. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Only a few things came today. Cedran said he'd drop it off later. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Where are my goods? Did the shipment come in? MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Lazy oaf. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic There are no goods to bring to the store. That's what I'm saying. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic What do I pay you for, to stand around all day? You're supposed to be bringing goods to the store. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic No shipments have come in. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic What sort of arrangement? I need to know the terms. MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Okay, lass. We've got these getups on... now what? MQ103RalofBlockingTopic Beyond this gate is the first step in becoming a Nightingale. MQ103RalofIntroA1 These old ruins... My father always told me to stay away from them. Good advice, I'd say. MQ103RalofIntroA2 You, too, huh? I'd take a straight fight with the whole Legion over creeping around a place like this. MQ103RalofIntroB1 But never mind all that. We've got a job to do, and nothing's going to stand in our way. MQ103RikkeAtKorvanjundAttack Follow me. MQ103RikkeAtKorvanjundTopic The Stormcloaks are here in force. Stick close and follow orders so we don't stir up the whole place against us. MQ103RikkeAtKorvanjundTopic Looks like the damned rebels got here first. No matter, we have the element of surprise. Prepare to move out. MQ103RikkeAtKorvanjundTopic You ready, auxiliary? MQ103RikkeAtKorvanjundWait This isn't a damn summer picnic! Hurry up. We need to hit them before they know we're here. MQ103RikkeFoundBook Take that crown back to Solitude, soldier. MQ103RikkeGetBookAlready Get the crown already. We don't need to hang around here any longer than necessary. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Send another one in here! Send two! I don't care! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 One of you get in here! I could put all of you down! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 What are you waiting for? I know you want to kill me. Now's your chance! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Damn. Another fight. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Someone's going to get hurt. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 They're fighting over that thing, I think. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 What's all the commotion? MQ103RikkeIntroA2 That can be arranged. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 You can take it over my dead body! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Back off! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 You'll have to take it from me. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Your blood won't bother me! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 You'll have to fight me for it. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 I'll hurt you if I have to. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 You're too slow and stupid to take it from me. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 I don't think so! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 I saw it first! I'm taking it. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Not if I get it first. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 No. It's mine! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 We'll see about that. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 I'm taking it anyway. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 No! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 I think not. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Hey! That's my sword. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Don't touch that dagger! It's mine. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 I don't think so. That axe is mine. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Keep away from that bow. It's mine. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Hands off. That's my armor now! MQ103RikkeIntroA2 You're too slow. I saw it first. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Hey! What's this? MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Who left that here? MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Well! Finders, keepers as they say. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 If nobody wants that, I'll take it. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Damn shame to leave that lying around. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 It's a bit worn, but I'll take it. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Looks like it's my lucky day. MQ103RikkeIntroA2 Hmm. What's this? MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Welcome to the Legion, auxiliary. Listen up. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Aye! MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Protect the Jarl with your lives! MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Kill them all. Protect the Jarl at all costs! MQ103RikkeIntroTopic As you wish. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Protect the Jarl! MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Protect the Jarl with your lives! MQ103RikkeIntroTopic I'll be damned if I let this rabble take my city without raising my own sword. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic I will not surrender Markarth without raising my own sword in her defense. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Riften denies the Emperor. You are here illegally. Stand down and you will be arrested and tried in the morning. Resist and you will die. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic If they want my city, they're going to have to take it from me personally. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Stay back, lord! MQ103RikkeIntroTopic No, Igmund. It's too dangerous. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Stop right there! Were I can see you. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Stay back, lord! MQ103RikkeIntroTopic It's a little late for that, don't you think? MQ103RikkeIntroTopic He wants the city this badly, he can fight me for it. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic She wants the city this badly, she can fight me for it. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic She's watching over the others. Look alive now. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Somehow I doubt that will persuade them. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Halt in the name of the Jarl Balgruuf the Greater! MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Halt in the name of the Jarl Hrongar. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic That's close enough. MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Where's Anuriel? MQ103RikkeIntroTopic Halt in the name of the Jarl! MQ103RikkeSearchForBook The crown should be around here somewhere. Spread out, and keep your eyes open. MQ103StormcloakStartCombatYell1 It's the Legion! MQ103StormcloakStartCombatYell2 Imperials! Kill them! MQ103StormcloakStartCombatYellExterior The Legion is here! Defend the entrance! MQ103TulliusBookA1 That's what I like to hear. I'll get the full report from Legate Rikke. Now then... MQ103TulliusBookA2 That's not for you to decide. Soldier. MQ103TulliusBookA2 I wouldn't have sent you in the first place if it wasn't going to be worth it. Now then... MQ103TulliusBookA3 Yes. Well, I didn't respond as quickly to the Legate's suggestion as perhaps I should have. MQ103TulliusBookA3 But at least we ended up with the damn crown. Now then... MQ103TulliusBookTopic You... you were at Helgen. One of the prisoners. What makes you think I'm interested in someone like you for the Legion? MQ103TulliusRetrieveBookTopic Excellent work, soldier. I have to admit, I had my doubts it even existed. Did you run into any trouble? MQ103UlfricBookTopic Are you now? You were at Helgen, one of the prisoners. Although no one seems to know how you got mixed up in that affair. MQ103UlfricBookTopic Normally, I would have welcomed someone like you -- resourceful, clearly no friend of the Empire. MQ103UlfricBookTopic But I've had some disturbing reports of you... seen talking to General Tullius in Castle Dour, for example. MQ103UlfricBookTopic So what do you have to say for yourself? How can I be sure you're not an Imperial spy? MQ103UlfricBookTopic You misunderstand. It's just... I feel for him, is all. To carry a weight like that. It's got to take its toll. That happened to me, I'd be a wreck. MQ103UlfricBookTopic I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. Commander Maro is the best the Penitus Oculatus has ever produced. You should be half the man he is. MQ103UlfricBookTopic I suppose. But what about the old man? Son killed, family name ruined... and he acts as if nothing even happened. Think he's even fit for duty? MQ103UlfricBookTopic You worry too much. The Emperor's never been safer. You think assassination attempts are planned overnight? We discovered the plot. End of threat. MQ103UlfricBookTopic Lazy and useless, the lot of them. They can't even keep the Stormcloaks in line. No way I trust them with the Emperor's life. MQ103UlfricBookTopic I'm all for diplomacy, but the sooner the Emperor deals with this civil war mess, the sooner we can get back to Cyrodiil. MQ103UlfricBookTopic This city is crawling with Imperial Legion, and you know what? I'm still nervous. MQ103UlfricBookTopic All these damn Stormcloaks. They're making me nervous. Never in a million years did I imagine they'd gain control of Solitude. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Damn him - the old bear was right! Did you run into any trouble? MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Just try it. Maybe a little time inside Cidhna Mine will get rid of all that fat on you. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic You little twig. I'll snap you in two! MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic I said give me some meat. I'm hungry, and the Divines know you don't need more food in that huge gut of yours. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic What did you say to me, Reachman? MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Alms. Give me some meat, you fat Nord! MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Hogni Red-Arm, more like Hogni Fat-Arm. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic How dare you. No one turns down cut meat from Hogni Red-Arm! MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Picking on me again, you backbiting Nord? Tired of those prissy nobles turning down your rotten slabs of venison? MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Look at you, begging on the streets. Learn a trade. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Let's not talk about this over dinner. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic The stones aren't what bother me, love. The Forsworn are tearing the Reach apart. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic The city hasn't changed that much, dear. Same old dwarven stones gathering the same old moss. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Markarth has changed, but the inn is as lively as ever. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Maybe. Let me think about it. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Maybe we could spend a little bit more and buy some meat, Endon. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Stew again, papa? I want steak. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic Something simple, a stew perhaps. MQ103UlfricRetrieveBookTopic What should we have tonight? MQ103UragBookTopic What? You have it? MQ103UragBookTopic No... No, as tempting as it is, it won't do to have both sides angry at us. MQ103UragBookTopic The College has had enough trouble staying out of the war. No need to make it worse. MQ103UragBookTopic You take that book to General Tullius or Ulfric and let them have their little triumph. It will be delivered back here to me soon enough. MQ104ADragonbornA1 In the very oldest tales, back from when there still were dragons in Skyrim, the Dragonborn would slay dragons and steal their power. MQ104ADragonbornA1 That's what you did, isn't it? Absorbed that dragon's power? MQ104ADragonbornB1 Well, you can Shout now. You couldn't before, right? That can only mean one thing. You must be Dragonborn. MQ104ADragonbornB1 There's one way to find out. Try to Shout... that would prove it. MQ104ADragonbornB1 According to the old legends, only the Dragonborn can Shout without training, the way the dragons do. MQ104ADragonbornB2 Yes. I think I am. You can Shout now. That can only mean one thing. You must be Dragonborn. MQ104ADragonbornB2 There's one way to find out. Try to Shout... MQ104ADragonbornB2 According to the old legends, only the Dragonborn can Shout without training, the way the dragons do. MQ104ADragonbornB2 Now let us see how quickly you can master your new Thu'um. MQ104ADragonbornB2 Jump! Come on! MQ104ADragonbornB2 Get going! MQ104ADragonbornB2 Through the inn! Now! MQ104ADragonbornB2 You still here? Go! MQ104ADragonbornB2 Go! Now! MQ104ADragonbornB2 Get moving! MQ104ADragonbornB2 Go! MQ104ASoldierDragonborn I can't believe it! You're... Dragonborn... MQ104BalgruufBlockingTopic You've done a great service for me and my city, Dragonborn. MQ104BalgruufBlockingTopic So what happened at the watchtower? Was the dragon there? MQ104BalgruufBlockingTopic Help Irileth kill this dragon before it can attack Whiterun. There's no time to lose. MQ104BalgruufBlockingTopic There's no time to stand on ceremony, my friend. I need your help again. MQ104BalgruufBlockingTopic I want you to go with Irileth and help her fight this dragon. MQ104BalgruufBlockingTopic You survived Helgen, so you have more experience with dragons than anyone else here. MQ104BalgruufBlockingTopic Not now. MQ104BalgruufIntroA1 But I haven't forgotten the service you did for me in retrieving the Dragonstone for Farengar. MQ104BalgruufIntroA1 As a token of my esteem, I have instructed Avenicci that you are now permitted to purchase property in the city. MQ104BalgruufIntroA1 And please accept this gift from my personal armory. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons There's no refusing a summons from the Greybeards. If you really are Dragonborn, they can teach you how to use your power. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons We grieve. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons We weep. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons We weep. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons We weep. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons We weep. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons At this loss... MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons I'm watching you, Maven Black-Briar. One day, you'll slip up and your Imperial friends won't be there to catch your fall. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons My dear, you have no idea who you're trifling with. Now I suggest you turn around and rattle someone else's cage before you get hurt. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons You're a cold, unfeeling bitch. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons You may have everyone else impressed around here, but you don't impress me. You couldn't touch me if you wanted to. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Maven. How's the criminal underworld treating you this fine day? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Interesting. Keep your ears open for me and tell me if you hear anything more. I'll make it worth your while. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons I heard a traveler say that Helgen was destroyed by one of those creatures. Didn't leave a soul alive they said. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons You watch the market, you hear the rumors around Riften. What have you heard about these dragons? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Yes? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Relax, Marise... I have no quarrel with you. I just wish to speak a moment. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Oh! Miss Maven. What can I do for you? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Well, if the shoe fits... MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons You know very well what I'm talking about. You're saying that I only married Bolli for his gold and that I don't really love him. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons What rumors? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Hey. What's the matter with you? You have no right to spread rumors around town about me. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons In a manner of speaking. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons May I ask what all the honey's for? I mean, you used to buy almost a jar a week. Are you cooking or something? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons I thought it was strange that Aringoth stopped coming into town. I suppose he's having some difficulties out there. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons I'm afraid it's going to be a while before I can get any more Goldenglow Honey. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Well, whatever you're doing, keep doing it and you'll have me as a customer for life. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Can't tell you. It's a bit of a trade secret I picked up when I was living in High Rock. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Thanks for that bushel of apples, Marise. They're wonderful. How did you keep them so fresh? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Um... okay. Well, the boots aren't here yet. Hopefully on the next Khajiit caravan. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Always be prepared. You never know if you might get a split in one, or lose one, then where would you be? No sir, that's not happening to me. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons What's with all the boots and shoes you keep buying? You must have bought twenty pairs in the last two years. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Brand-Shei... have you managed to find those boots for me? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Good. Maybe that will teach them to leave honest citizens alone. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons It's true. Wasn't much of a thief though. Made enough noise to wake the Red Mountain. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Is it true you chased a thief from your home? I overheard Aerin mentioning it. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Well met, Brand-Shei. I've come by to browse your wares today. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Perhaps they moved on to greener pastures. Whatever the reason, lets be glad they're scarce. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons No. I'm surprised actually. I thought they had a stranglehold on the city, but in the last few years, it hasn't been that bad. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons They haven't been by the Bunkhouse, but I'm certain they will. How about you? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Has the Thieves Guild visited you yet, Haelga? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Chin up, Brand-Shei. Lady Mara will provide us strength and guidance through these difficult times. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons There's the stories about Helgen, bandits, skirmishes between the Stormcloaks and the Imperials... it almost seems endless. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons That's a shame. What's causing them all the trouble? MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Dinya, about that incense you requested? Its not arriving anytime soon. The Khajiit caravans are having tough times getting through. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons I'd still keep an eye on my purse if I was you. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons If that's true, then we have much more to fear than the Thieves Guild. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons You've heard too? They say the town was completely destroyed by a dragon. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons So while I was in Ivarstead, I heard news that something terrible happened at Helgen. MQ104BalgruufNoRefusingSummons Thanks, Grelka! MQ104BalgruufOutroA1 I knew I could count on Irileth. But there must be more to it than that. MQ104BalgruufOutroA2 Dragonborn? What do you know about the Dragonborn? MQ104BalgruufOutroA3 There's no question about that. It was a mighty deed. You've earned a place of honor among the heroes of Whiterun. MQ104BalgruufOutroA3 But there must be more to it than that. Did something... strange... happen when the dragon died? MQ104BalgruufOutroB1 So it's true. The Greybeards really were summoning you. MQ104BalgruufOutroB1 The Greybeards... MQ104BalgruufOutroB1 You heard the summons. What else could it mean? MQ104BalgruufOutroB2 Not just the men. The Greybeards seem to think the same thing. MQ104BalgruufOutroC1 Masters of the Way of the Voice. They live in seclusion high on the slopes of the Throat of the World. MQ104BalgruufOutroC2 The Dragonborn is said to be uniquely gifted in the Voice - the ability to focus your vital essence into a Thu'um, or Shout. MQ104BalgruufOutroC2 The Greybeards are masters of the Way of the Voice. If you really are Dragonborn, they can teach you how to use your gift. MQ104BalgruufOutroD1 The Dragonborn is said to be uniquely gifted in the Voice - the ability to focus your vital essence into a Thu'um, or Shout. MQ104BalgruufOutroD1 If you really are Dragonborn, they can teach you how to use your gift. MQ104BalgruufReward1 By my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of Whiterun. It's the greatest honor that's within my power to grant. MQ104BalgruufReward1 I assign you Lydia as a personal Housecarl, and this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office. MQ104BalgruufReward1 I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now would we? MQ104BalgruufReward1 We are honored to have you as Thane of our city, Dragonborn. MQ104BDragonDeadTopic That may be true, but I ordered Irileth to bring back proof. You'd best report back to her at once. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic I'm proud to be your battle-brother, Dragonborn. Whiterun doesn't need to fear with you on our side. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic You sure took care of that dragon. Dragonborn or not, that's good enough for me. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic I can't believe we actually killed a dragon! MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic Dragonborn... it's an honor. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic You saved Whiterun today. We won't forget. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic Is it really dead? MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic Come on, I want a better look at that thing. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic We taught that dragon not to mess with Whiterun, didn't we? MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic I'm glad you're on our side. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic Get under cover! The dragon - it's still around somewhere! MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic I'm glad you're coming with us. They say Talos favors you. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic That dragon should've stuck with killing Imperials. Now he's going to learn how real Nords fight. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic My cousin's stationed out at the watchtower. I hope he's all right. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic I doubt any of us are coming back from this mission. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic With Irileth, you either come back covered with glory or not at all. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic You really think we can kill a dragon? MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic I'm looking forward to testing myself against this dragon. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic I hear you faced a dragon at Helgen and lived to tell about it. That ain't nothing. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic We'd better keep moving. Who knows what that dragon is doing. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic I hope the tower holds out until we get there. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic This doesn't look good. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic Shor's bones, did it kill them all...? MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic We'd better find out what's happened. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic We'd better keep moving. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic Good luck. I hope you get there in time. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic Hold on. I want to hear what Irileth's saying. MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic (Heavy breathing) MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic (Heavy breathing) MQ104BSoldierBlockingTopic (Heavy breathing) MQ104BStartCombatDragon Talos save us! It's a dragon! MQ104BUlfricOathbound But remember, you're still oathbound to our cause. Skyrim still waits to be free. MQ104DragonCombat1 Krif krin. Pruzah! MQ104DragonCombat2 Thurri du hin sille ko Sovngarde! MQ104DragonCombat3 Brit grah. I had forgotten what fine sport you mortals can provide! MQ104DragonCombat4 You are brave. Balaan hokoron. Your defeat brings me honor. MQ104DragonDovahkiin Dovahkiin! No!! MQ104DragonExcellentMoreSouls Zok morokei! More souls to feed my master's hunger. MQ104FarengarBlockingTopic I want to hear about this dragon. MQ104FarengarBlockingTopic I wonder what Irileth is so excited about? MQ104FarengarBlockingTopic Off to Bleak Falls Barrow with you. The Jarl is not a patient man. Neither am I, come to think of it. MQ104FarengarBlockingTopic I don't know if you've heard, but Jarl Balgruuf said my work is a priority. Which means you should be on your way. MQ104HrongarBlockingTopic If you really are Dragonborn, then Skyrim needs you. Go to High Hrothgar and talk to the Greybeards. MQ104HrongarOutroHello We were just talking about you. My brother needs a word with you. MQ104IrilethBlockingTopic We'd better go make sure that bastard is really dead. Collect us a trophy or something to bring back to Ulfric. MQ104IrilethBlockingTopic Scatter and get behind cover! We need to hurt it, somehow! If you've got a bow or spells, now would be a good time to use them! MQ104IrilethBlockingTopic That was the hairiest fight I've ever been in, and I've been in more than a few. MQ104IrilethBlockingTopic I don't know about this Dragonborn business, but I'm sure glad you're with us. MQ104IrilethBlockingTopic You better get back to Whiterun right away. Jarl Balgruuf will want to know what happened here. MQ104IrilethBlockingTopic I'm taking command here for the moment. You head back to Whiterun and let the Jarl know what happened. MQ104IrilethBlockingTopic Be careful. We need to find out what happened here. MQ104IrilethComeWithMe Follow me. We're assembling near the main gate. MQ104IrilethIntroA2 Good enough. We'll meet up near the watchtower. Don't take any chances until we get there. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Jarl Balgruuf is waiting. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic You're the one that got out of Helgen, aren't you? I could use anyone who's tangled with a dragon before. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Where do you think you'll be the most help - scouting ahead or supporting the rest of my men? MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Well? You going to scout ahead or travel with me? MQ104IrilethIntroTopic J'zargo understands. You hesitate because you know J'zargo will be better than you. Very well. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Maybe later. I'm sort of busy now. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic J'zargo continues to struggle with wards. You have time to practice? MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Not at all. It means I'm not being hounded about my progress at the College. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Ah, that's too bad. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic No, not really. Couriers don't seem to like delivering letters here. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Have you heard from your family recently? MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Oh. Well, that's... awkward. Sorry to have brought it up. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic My family didn't really approve of me coming here at all. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Really? That must be so nice. I came all the way to Skyrim just to get away from my family's expectations. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic No, and I'm not expecting any. MQ104IrilethIntroTopic Still no word from your family? MQ104IrilethLetsGo Let's go. We need to get to the Western Watchtower before it's too late. MQ104IrilethSeeYouAtFort I'll see you at the watchtower as soon as the rest of the men have gathered. MQ105ArngeirAttendToBorri Master Borri has agreed to teach you the first Word of a new Shout. Attend to him. MQ105ArngeirBorriWordTopic Stand next to me, and prepare your Whirlwind Sprint. Master Borri will give the signal. MQ105ArngeirBorriWordTopic Follow me. Master Borri will test your Whirlwind Sprint. MQ105ArngeirBorriWordTopic We will do your next test in the courtyard. Follow Master Borri. MQ105ArngeirBorriWordTopic Master Borri will teach you the first Word of a new Shout. Attend to him. MQ105ArngeirGoodHit1 Well done. Again. MQ105ArngeirGoodHit2 You learn quickly. Once more. MQ105ArngeirGoodHit3 That's it. One more time. MQ105ArngeirHornA1 No. Indeed not. But beware that your skill does not outstrip your wisdom. MQ105ArngeirHornA3 You were given this gift by the gods for a reason. It is up to you to figure out how best to use it. MQ105ArngeirHornBlockingTopic Your quick mastery of a new Thu'um is... astonishing. I'd heard the stories of the abilities of Dragonborn, but to see it for myself... MQ105ArngeirHornShared1 You are now ready for your last trial. MQ105ArngeirHornShared1 Retrieve the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, our founder, from his tomb in the ancient fane of Ustengrav. MQ105ArngeirHornShared1 Remain true to the Way of the Voice, and you will return. MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 We will see if you truly have the gift. MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 Show us, Dragonborn. Let us taste of your Voice. MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 Oh yes, mistress. You're the "boss." For now. MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 Oh yes, mistress. Perfectly! You're the boss. MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 But make no mistake. I am the leader of this Sanctuary. My word is law. Are we clear on that point? MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 Oh, what a kind and wise wizard you are. Sure to earn our Lady's favor. MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 Mister Cicero, I for one am delighted you and the Night Mother have arrived. Your presence here signals a welcome return to tradition. MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 Oh, be quiet you great lumbering lapdog. The man has had a long journey. You can at least be civil. MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 Oh, yes yes yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you! MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 Understood... husband? MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 You and the Night Mother are of course welcome here, Cicero. And you will be afforded the respect deserving of your position as Keeper. MQ105ArngeirIntroA1 But the Night Mother is mother to all! It is her voice we follow! Her will! Would you dare risk disobedience? And surely... punishment? MQ105ArngeirIntroA2 First, let us see if you truly are Dragonborn. Let us taste of your Voice. MQ105ArngeirIntroA2 Master Einarth will now teach you "Ro," the second Word in Unrelenting Force. MQ105ArngeirIntroA2 Without training, you have already taken the first steps towards projecting your Voice into a Thu'um, a Shout. MQ105ArngeirIntroA2 Now let us see if you are willing and able to learn. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 We are the Greybeards, followers of the Way of the Voice. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 You stand in High Hrothgar, on the slopes of Kynareth's sacred mountain. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 Here we commune with the voice of the sky, and strive to achieve balance between our inner and outer selves. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 Aw, quit your bellyaching. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 Yeah, I know what you mean. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 It's not that bad. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 You'd rather be plowing a field? Not me. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 Go tell the commander. I'm sure the boot in your arse will take your mind off your troubles. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 You must be all right if you've got time to complain. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 I'm still sore where I took that arrow. I hate archers. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 This imperial armor is damn heavy. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 I'm sick of waiting. When are we going to see some action? MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 Hope I don't draw guard duty. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 I bet we have rabbit again. I'm getting sick of rabbit. MQ105ArngeirIntroB1 We're running out of bread. I hope the supplies get here soon. MQ105ArngeirIntroB2 We are here to guide you in that pursuit, just as the Greybeards have sought to guide those of the Dragon Blood that came before you. MQ105ArngeirIntroB2A1 You are not the first. There have been many of the Dragon Blood since Akatosh first bestowed that gift upon mortalkind. MQ105ArngeirIntroB2A1 Whether you are the only Dragonborn of this age... that is not ours to know. MQ105ArngeirIntroB2A1 You are the only one that has been revealed thus far. That is all I can say. MQ105ArngeirIntroB3 We are honored to welcome a Dragonborn to High Hrothgar. MQ105ArngeirIntroB3 We will do our best to teach you how to use your gift in fulfillment of your destiny. MQ105ArngeirIntroB3A1 That is for you to discover. We can show you the Way, but not your destination. MQ105ArngeirIntroB4 You have shown that you are Dragonborn. You have the inborn gift. MQ105ArngeirIntroB4 But do you have the discipline and temperament to follow the path laid out for you? That remains to be seen. MQ105ArngeirIntroShared1 So... a Dragonborn appears, at this moment in the turning of the age. MQ105ArngeirIntroTopic I am Master Arngeir. I speak for the Greybeards. MQ105ArngeirIntroTopic Now tell me, Dragonborn, why have you come here? MQ105ArngeirIntroTopic Shout for us, Dragonborn. Then we may have time for questions. MQ105ArngeirIntroWhoAreYou Dragonborn. It is you. Welcome to High Hrothgar. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside Come, we will do your next test inside the hall. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside Try it again. Breath and focus. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside Is this your best effort? Again. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside Come, Dragonborn. Attend to Master Borri. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside Stand next to me. Master Borri will open the gate. Use your Whirlwind Sprint to pass through before it closes. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside Now we will see how quickly you can master a new Shout. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside Now we will see how quickly you can master a new Word. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside We will perform your next trial in the courtyard. Follow Master Borri. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside Impressive. Your Thu'um is precise. You show great promise, Dragonborn. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside You show promise. Remain focused, and you will fulfill your potential. MQ105ArngeirNextTestInside You have the ability, but you need to learn discpline if you wish to fulfill your potential. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Ah! You've retrieved the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Well done. You have now passed all the trials. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Come with me. It is time for us to recognize you formally as Dragonborn. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Stand in the center of the room and prepare yourself to taste the Voice of the Greybeards. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Come inside. The other masters will meet us there. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic First, Master Wulfgar will teach you the final word of Unrelenting Force. You are ready. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic But to be outnumbered twenty to one... MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic You infiltrated the position, eliminated the target, and made it look like an accident. Impressive. I'd say you earned your bonus on that one! MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic To kill triplets, secretly, and then have the whole thing blamed on the mother. Remarkable. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic It was a suicide mission! Astrid said as much. Yet here you stand, hale and hearty. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic By Sithis, you slew everyone! Well, except for that one you kept alive, to serve as witness. Does your wickedness, or your skill, know no bounds? MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic But really. A horker, some twine, three wood elves, and a hatchet? Points for creativity, if nothing else. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic It's the part with the severed head I find most impressive. My compliments. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic I'm just trying to imagine you hiding inside the body of a mammoth. Bloody brilliant idea. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic You're referring to that blacksmith contract? MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic You must be talking about the caravan job... MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Word certainly travels fast, doesn't it? MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic The temple contract? Well, I certainly won't deny my involvement. He he he he he. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic The Redoran contract? Yes, you heard correctly. In and out of Vvardenfell in less than forty eight hours. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Ah, you must mean my little adventure on the ship... MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Oh, you mean in that manor house? During the thunderstorm? Heh. What can I say? It happened, just like you heard. MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Astrid, I've been hearing some, er... interesting things, from the others... about what you did when you left the Sanctuary last week... MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Tell me, husband. Is it true what I've heard? MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic So, is it true? MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic I heard about what happened... MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Tell me, brother. Are the stories true? MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Tell me, sister. Are the stories true? MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Your latest exploit certainly has the Sanctuary talking... MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Come now. What everyone else is saying. It can't possibly be true... MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic Aye, and she's added more traps now as well... A moment of silence for our fallen friend... MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic It was a stupid plan, and now Rigel is so mad she won't even let us cut him down from there! MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic I tried to tell him that he wouldn't get past the traps, but he wouldn't listen... MQ105ArngeirReturnHornTopic The crucial nature is pure apparent. Mundane sight traded for another sort. MQ105ArngeirStrikeTargets Strike the targets as they appear. Breath and focus. MQ105ArngeirTraining1 Masters Einarth, Borri, and Wulfgar will each demonstrate a Shout. Make your choice. MQ105ArngeirTraining1 Don't worry, though. You will find all three Words in Ustengrav. MQ105ArngeirWeakHit1 Use both words, if you can. MQ105ArngeirWeakHit2 Use both Fus and Ro. Together, they will make the Shout more powerful. MQ105BorriBex Bex! MQ106DelphineAskAtInn We need to find the burial mound. Let's ask in the inn. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic No need to bother with giants right now. Just keep your distance. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic I'm glad you were willing to trust me. I know it probably wasn't the best way to introduce myself. But old habits... you know. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Not too much farther now. Kynesgrove is just down the road to the southeast of here. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic I hope you're Dragonborn, I really do. But we'll find out soon enough. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic We may both end up dead, but at least it gets me out of Riverwood. I don't really think I'm cut out for the quiet life. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic I doubt the Thalmor are aware of you yet. So we should be safe from them, at least. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Remember, we're not looking for trouble. We need to get to Kynesgrove as fast as we can. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Keep a sharp lookout. We can't afford any delays. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic We'd better keep moving. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Better to stick together. I don't want you to get yourself killed before we even get there. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Run, you idiot! MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Thought I told you to run for it! Go! MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Soldiers, townspeople, and dregs into the keep! MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Everyone to the keep! MQ106DelphineChatterTopic To the keep! Move! MQ106DelphineChatterTopic What? Do you want to be that thing's next meal? Into the keep, already! MQ106DelphineChatterTopic I don't know. It's like a ward, but who's casting it? Ancano? How? MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Hyah! MQ106DelphineChatterTopic Know that Gormlaith sent you down to death! MQ106DelphineChatterTopic You will die in terror, knowing your final fate... MQ106DelphineChatterTopic But first... dir ko maar. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic This is notorious bandit hideout. But it's also the shortest way to Kynesgrove, so... we may have to kill a few bandits. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic We'll cross to the White River and follow it to Windhelm. Then we can swing south to Kynesgrove. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic There's an inn at Kynesgrove - the Braidwood. I hear they serve a nice dark ale. Nothing on the Sleeping Giant, of course. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic This is Kynesgrove. Not much to look at. The innkeeper ought to be able to tell us if there's any dragon mound nearby. MQ106DelphineChatterTopic This is Kynesgrove. Not much to look at. Let's see if we can find that dragon mound. MQ106DelphineDragonApproach That was well done. Come on. I've been wanting a closer look at one of these buggers. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Gods above! Look at that! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Kill the damn dragon! Unless you have a better idea?! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Stay under cover. This is what we came for. We need to see what happens. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Steady. Let's see what it does. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Come on. We need to find out what's happening up there! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic You learn a new word like a master... you truly do have the gift. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I'm not playing with you, Kayd! You play mean! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Father says I shouldn't play with you anymore. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Can't catch me! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Aww, I'm hungry! Can we get some food, instead? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Tag! You're it! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I'm bored! Let's play a game! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Pantea, perhaps you should attend to your students, and leave the politics to me. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic That is precisely why we remain neutral. Ours is to tell tales of empires, not to make or break them. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Aia, please be quiet. Viarmo and I are discussing matters of national politics. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Aia, this is a delicate matter. Why don't you review your lessons and be silent for a while. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic But I'm sure those Skyrim dogs would stand down if the keepers of the tales showed their patriotism! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Maybe if we stopped singing about their silly Nord heroes, the rebels would stop making such a fuss! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Lady Ateia, it is the official position of the college to remain neutral in all political affairs. We cannot risk our history by choosing sides. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Now, now, our duty is to record the great tales of history, not to pick sides in them. Best to stay out of the warfare, I feel. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Viarmo, the college really must take a stand on the war! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Viarmo, don't you think it's time that the Bards College officially declared support for the empire? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic You're on! Loser buys the next round! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic In your dreams! If I win, the next round's on you! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Bet I can reach the bottom of this flagon before you! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Bet I can down this ale faster than you! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Not if you were the last man in the Empire. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Oh, if you insist! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic You can buy me whatever you want! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Aw, that's so sweet of you! Thanks! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Being friends with the bartender's son has its advantages, huh? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Oh, yes please! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Can I buy you a drink, darling? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic So, um, mind if I buy you a drink? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic This drink's on me. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Free mead! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Hooray! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Hooray! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic You heard the man! Drink and be merry! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Let's hear it for our kind benefactor! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic A round for all of my friends! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Another round, on me! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic That's it! I'm not retiring, ever! End of discussion! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Well, you see, that's a little complicated, and... you know what? Never mind. Guess I'm not retiring anytime soon. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Oh, brother... MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Hah! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic What about "Auntie Faida" in Dragon Bridge? She runs a bar, and you said she's one of your favorite girls! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic But you always say you want more girls in the bar to begin with! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Don't be a silly girl! Running a bar's no job for a young lady. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Hah! A girl running a bar? Don't be ridiculous, Minette! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I could run the Skeever! You even said I'm almost as smart as you! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Why not let me run the Skeever? I already know lots about it! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I don't know, father... There's a whole world out there I want to see. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic You'd just spend your time here, bossing me around and yelling for more drinks. You're practically retired already... MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic It's been a good week, my boy! Loud customers mean good cheer, and good cheer means a full till! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic You know, I ought to retire and leave you to run the Skeever, son! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Yes, yes, fine. Just hurry! Mustn't keep the customers thirsty! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Good idea, sis. Maybe you ought to be in charge! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Bring the Blackbriar 195 Berry-Blend. It should be at its peak right now, and if it doesn't get served soon, it'll only go bad. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic We just got a cask of Old Gold 200 that has a crack in it. Better serve it now before it goes bad. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Fat Toad 190 is always a crowd-pleaser. Father could probably charge extra. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Just bring any of them, lad! Can't risk thirsty customers without mead to drink, even for a second! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Any of them! Just hurry up! No time for a debate when customers are thirsty! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Yes, father. Which cask should we open? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Bring up some more mead, my boy. This cask's nearly tapped! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Come, Galmar. We've still much work to do. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic May the gods preserve us all. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic And of course, we couldn't have done it without you. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic May the gods preserve you. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Aye. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I'm not afraid of the remnants of the Legion, in time they'll all give up and go home. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic What I fear, is that the Thalmor will see our victory here and turn greater attention to our shores. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic We must be prepared to face them. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic The Imperials aren't going to leave us alone. They still have camps in the hills. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic They'll continue to strike out at us, whenever and wherever they can. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Oh, I know. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic It's a foregone conclusion, you know. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Thank you, I thought so, too. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Eh, not so bad. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Nice touch about the High King. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic How'd I do? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic There is much to do, and I need every able bodied man and woman committed to rebuilding Skyrim. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic A great darkness is growing, and soon we will be called to fight it, on these shores or abroad. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic The Aldmeri Dominion may have defeated the Empire, but it has not defeated Skyrim! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Then it is settled. The Jarl will continue to rule Solitude, I will garrison armies here to ward off Imperial attempts to reclaim the city. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic And in due time, the Moot will meet, and settle the claim to High King once and for all. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I do! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I do! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Yes, what about the Lady Elisif? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Will she put aside her personal hatred for me, and her misplaced love for the Emperor and his coin, so that the suffering of our people will end? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Will she acknowledge that it is we Nord's who will determine Skyrim's future? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Will she swear fealty to me, so all may know that we are at peace, and a new day has dawned? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Yes, what about Jarl Erikur? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Will he cast aside the Imperial coin falling into his coffers? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Will he acknowledge that we Nords deserve to determine our own future? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Will he swear fealty to me, that all may know we are at peace, and a new day has dawned? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic And what about Jarl Elisif? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic And what about Jarl Erikur? MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic And it is for these reasons that I cannot accept the mantle of "High King." MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Not until the Moot declares that title should adorn my shoulders will I accept it. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic Huzzah! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic To return to our glory and traditions, to determine our own future! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic But more than that, it was you who fought for Skyrim, for our right to fight our own battles... MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic It was you who fought your kin who didn't understand our cause, who weren't willing to pay the price of our freedom. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic It was you who fought the Thalmor and their puppets who would have us deny our gods and our heritage. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic It was you who fought a dying Empire who sunk its claws into our land, trying to drag us down with it. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic But it is all of you who are the true heroes! MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic And indeed, there are many that call us heroes. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic And indeed, there are many that call me hero. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I am indeed Ulfric Stormcloak, and at my side the man we know as Stormblade, and the world knows as the Dragonborn. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I am indeed Ulfric Stormcloak, and at my side the woman we know as Stormblade, and the world knows as the Dragonborn. MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic I am indeed Ulfric Stormcloak... MQ106DelphineDragonAtttackTopic And now, I present to you, Ulfric Stormcloak, hero of the people, liberator and High King of Skyrim! MQ106DelphineDragonbornTrueDragonslayer We remember what most don't - that the Dragonborn is the ultimate dragonslayer. MQ106DelphineDragonbornTrueDragonslayer You're the only one that can kill a dragon permanently by devouring its soul. MQ106DelphineDragonstoneForFarengar You should know. You got the map for me. The dragonstone you got for Farengar, remember? MQ106DelphineGiveHorn I'm not your enemy. I already gave you the horn. I'm actually trying to help you. I just need you to hear me out. MQ106DelphineIntroA0 I think you're looking for this. MQ106DelphineIntroA0 We need to talk. MQ106DelphineIntroA1 Surprised? I guess I'm getting pretty good at my harmless innkeeper act. MQ106DelphineIntroA2 You can't be too careful. Thalmor spies are everywhere. MQ106DelphineIntroA3 I hope you're just playing dumb. I'm the one who left the note in Ustengrav. MQ106DelphineIntroA3A1 Good. The whole point of being in hiding is to appear to be someone you're not. MQ106DelphineIntroA3A2 Now we can talk. MQ106DelphineIntroA3A2 Close the door. MQ106DelphineIntroA3A2 Come on, close the door. MQ106DelphineIntroA3A2 You're not afraid of me, are you? MQ106DelphineIntroA3A2 Just close the door, will you? MQ106DelphineIntroA3A2 Follow me. MQ106DelphineIntroA3A2 We should keep moving. Come here. Let me see if I can get those bindings off. MQ106DelphineIntroA3A2 Looks like we're the only ones who made it. Was that really a dragon? The bringers of the End Times? MQ106DelphineIntroA4 I hope so. But you'll forgive me if I don't assume that something's true just because the Greybeards say so. MQ106DelphineIntroA4 I just handed you the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. Does that make me Dragonborn, too? MQ106DelphineIntroA4 Take that thing down! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 We've got to bring it down! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 Don't let it get too close! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 We've got to ground that bastard! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 Come on! This is our best chance! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 Attack while it's landed! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 Now it's my turn, you son of a bitch. MQ106DelphineIntroA4 For the Blades! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 I am Sahloknir! Hear my Voice and despair! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 It's to be a real fight, then. Good! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 My lord Alduin requires your death. I am glad to oblige him. MQ106DelphineIntroA4 I see that mortals have become arrogant while I slept. MQ106DelphineIntroA4 My Voice has been silent for too long! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 Hiding will not save you! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 Dohaviin, your Voice is no match for mine! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 Your Voice is strong... for a mortal. MQ106DelphineIntroA4 Come and face me, then! MQ106DelphineIntroA4 I do not fear you, Dovahkiin! MQ106DelphineIntroB2 It was the only way I could make sure it wasn't a Thalmor trap. MQ106DelphineIntroB3 And now you have it. No harm done. MQ106DelphineIntroB3 I knew the Greybeards would send you for the horn if they thought you were Dragonborn. MQ106DelphineIntroB3 Taking it was the only way I could be sure this wasn't a Thalmor trap. MQ106DelphineIntroDragonbornA1 Good. And you'll have a chance to prove it to me soon enough. MQ106DelphineIntroDragonbornA2 This is no time to play the reluctant hero. You either are or aren't Dragonborn. MQ106DelphineIntroDragonbornA2 But I'll see for myself soon enough. MQ106DelphineIntroDragonbornA3 You're wrong. It is my business. You may be the only one that can stop these dragons. MQ106DelphineIntroDragonbornA3 But you'll understand that soon enough. MQ106DelphineIntroEndA1 Good. Good. Now we won't have to spend time searching for it. MQ106DelphineIntroEndA1 We should get moving. There's no time to waste. MQ106DelphineIntroEndA2 I need to get into my traveling gear. Give me a minute and I'll be ready. MQ106DelphineIntroEndA3 I can't wait around for you to make up your mind. I'll meet you at Kynesgrove. Don't waste time getting there. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive1 I'm part of a group that's been looking for you... well, someone like you, for a very long time. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive1 If you really are Dragonborn, that is. Before I tell you any more, I need to make sure I can trust you. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A1 Ha. A few years ago, I said almost the same thing to a colleague of mine. Well, it turned out he was right and I was wrong. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A1 You'll be back. If you're really Dragonborn, this is your destiny. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A1 Let's get going. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A1 Come on. We've got to get to Kynesgrove. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A1 We'd better keep moving. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A2 I know they are. I've visited their ancient burial mounds and found them empty. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A2 And I've figured out where the next one will come back to life. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A2 We're going to go there, and you're going to kill that dragon. If we succeed, I'll tell you anything you want to know. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A2A2 Yes. A map of ancient dragon burial sites. I've looked at which ones are now empty. The pattern is pretty clear. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A2A2 It seems to be spreading from the southeast, starting in the Jeralls near Riften. The one near Kynesgrove is next if the pattern holds. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2A3 You should know. You got the map for me from Bleak Falls Barrow. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusive2EntryTopic Something's happening to bring the dragons back to life. And I need you to help me stop it. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusiveA1 Like I said in my note, I've heard that you might be Dragonborn. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusiveA2 I'll explain what I want when I want, got it? You'd already be dead if I didn't like the look of you when you walked in here. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusiveA2 But I had to know if the rumors about you were true... MQ106DelphineIntroExclusiveC1 If you don't trust me, you were a fool to walk in here in the first place. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusiveC3A1 Can you do it? Can you devour a dragon's soul? MQ106DelphineIntroExclusiveD1 Dragons aren't just coming back, they're coming back to life. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusiveD1 They weren't gone somewhere for all these years. They were dead, killed off centuries ago by my predecessors. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusiveD1 Now something's happening to bring them back to life. And I need you to help me stop it. MQ106DelphineIntroExclusiveTopic You ready to hear me out? MQ106DelphineIntroKynesgrove Kynesgrove. There's an ancient dragon burial near there. If we can get there before it happens, maybe we'll learn how to stop it. MQ106DelphineIntroMakeSureNotTrap I didn't go to all this trouble on a whim. I needed to make sure it wasn't a Thalmor trap. MQ106DelphineIntroTopic So you're the Dragonborn I've been hearing so much about. MQ106DelphineIntroTopic Close the door, then we can talk. MQ106DelphineIntroTopic Not here. Follow me. MQ106DelphineIntroTopic The Greybeards seem to think you're the Dragonborn. I hope they're right. MQ106DelphineIntroTopic I suppose you're right. I'm not a fighting man. MQ106DelphineIntroTopic Go, and avenge my Laelette for me. MQ106DelphineIntroTopic Lead on. MQ106DelphineLetsGoToBurialMound Come on. Let's go see if there's a mythical dragon buried up there. MQ106DelphineLookFamiliar So you were paying attention. I arranged to have Farengar recover the dragonstone for me. MQ106DelphineLookFamiliar It's what I do. I make things happen from behind the scenes. After all, here you are. MQ106DelphineMapofBurialSites The dragonstone was a map of ancient dragon burial sites. I've looked at which ones are now empty. The pattern is pretty clear. MQ106DelphineMapofBurialSites It seems to be spreading from the southeast, down in the Jeralls near Riften. The one at Kynesgrove is next if the pattern holds. MQ106DelphineNoTimeToWaste There's no time to waste. Let's go. MQ106DelphineShouldntLetYouWalk I shouldn't let you walk out of here, knowing what you know. But I guess even my paranoia has its limits. MQ106DelphineShouldntLetYouWalk You know where to find me when you change your mind. Because you will. You have to. MQ106DelphineStunned I... it's true, isn't it? You really are Dragonborn. MQ106DelpineIntroExclusiveC2Horn I knew the Greybeards would send you there if they thought you were Dragonborn. They're nothing if not predictable. MQ106DelpineIntroExclusiveC2Horn When you showed up here, I knew you were the one the Greybeards sent, and not some Thalmor plant. MQ106DelpineIntroExclusiveC4ThalmorTopic Yes. We're very old enemies. And if my suspicions are correct, they might have something to do with the dragons returning. MQ106DelpineIntroExclusiveC4ThalmorTopic But that isn't important right now. What is important is that you might be Dragonborn. MQ106DelpineIntroExclusiveC4ThalmorTopic The Thalmor. We're very old enemies. And if my suspicions are correct, they might have something to do with the dragons returning. MQ106DelpineIntroExclusiveC4ThalmorTopic But that isn't important right now. What is important is that you might be Dragonborn. MQ106KynegroveEntryA1 Why didn't you say so earlier? At least now we don't have to waste time searching the area. MQ106KynegroveEntryA1 We should get moving. There's no time to waste. MQ106KynesgroveBlockingTopic No, you don't want to go up there! A dragon... it's attacking! MQ106KynesgroveBlockingTopic I'm not going out there. Not with that dragon on the loose. MQ106KynesgroveBlockingTopic I wouldn't go out there for all the money in the world. MQ106KynesgroveBlockingTopic Do you think it's gone yet? MQ106KynesgroveBlockingTopic Don't you know there's a dragon attacking? MQ106KynesgroveBlockingTopic We've got to find someplace to hide! MQ106KynesgroveDragonA1 Well, I don't know. Not yet... it flew over the town and landed on the old dragon mound! MQ106KynesgroveDragonA2 It flew over the town and landed on the old dragon burial mound. MQ106KynesgroveDragonB1 I don't know what it's doing up there, but I'm not waiting around to find out! MQ106KynesgroveEntryTopic That mound you remembered sounds like what we're looking for. East of Kynesgrove, right? MQ106KynesgroveEntryTopic I don't know exactly. We need to find the ancient burial mound. Let's ask around town. MQ106OrgnarDelphineTopic That's her business. Not mine. Probably not yours either. MQ106RentRoomTopic Oh, you wanted the attic room? Why didn't you say so the first time? MQ106RentRoomTopic The thing is... we don't actually have an attic room. But I think I know what you mean. Go ahead and make yourself at home. MQ106RentRoomTopic Attic room, eh? Well... we don't have an attic room, but you can have the one on the left. Make yourself at home. MQ106RentRoomTopic Next to the door, the room on the left. MQ106RentRoomTopic Move along. Nothing to see here. MQ106RentRoomTopic Well, this is a nice mess you've gotten me into. MQ106RentRoomTopic That could have turned out better. MQ106RentRoomTopic I can't believe I got caught. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Here you go, sir. The finest Colovian brandy. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Is there anything else I can get for you? MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Here you go, ma'am. The finest Colovian brandy. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Is there anything else I can get for you? MQ201AskForDrinkTopic We seem to have run out of Colovian brandy. I'll check in the wine cellar for more when I get a moment. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Here you go, sir. Colovian brandy. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Here you go, miss. Colovian brandy. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic I'm sorry, but I think you've had enough for the moment. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Oooh, wonderful! I can't wait! MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Hmph. Most certainly not. But perhaps I can teach you how to put some candles out. We'll start there. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic I understand. I'm sorry. I just get so excited thinking about it. So... can we. Do some fire magic? MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Shh shh. It's fine, child. It's fine. But we must be cautious, hmm? What we do, the things I teach you. The others wouldn't understand. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Oh! I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. MQ201AskForDrinkTopic By the Eight, keep your voice down! Do you want the entire village to learn our secrets? MQ201AskForDrinkTopic I was just wondering. The next time we meet, do you think maybe you could teach me some fire magic? Nothing dangerous! Maybe a candle lighting spell? MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Yes, child? MQ201AskForDrinkTopic Jouane? MQ201BrelasBlockingTopic2 What did you tell him? Why did you do this to me? MQ201BrelasBlockingTopic2 You've got to help me! Please! MQ201BrelasBlockingTopic2 I don't know where I'll go. Somewhere far away from here. MQ201BrelasBlockingTopic2 Maybe this is a way out? MQ201BrelasBlockingTopic2 Maybe one of the guards had a key? MQ201BrelasBlockingTopic2 There's got to be some way out of here! MQ201BrelasBlockingTopic2 What did you tell him? Why did you do this to me? MQ201BrelasPrisonerA1 Oh... thank you. I don't understand what's happening. I can't stay here. What will I do now? MQ201BrelasPrisonerA2 What? Why? But... you must have said something to Erikur! You lied to him and now here I am! You're a heartless monster! MQ201BrelasPrisonerA2 No... please, you have to help me! You don't understand what they do to people here! MQ201CarriageDriverBlockingTopic Awful damn cold up here. And only the guests are allowed inside. Damn foreigners and their inhospitable ways. MQ201CarriageDriverBlockingTopic What are you out here talking to me for? Party's inside. MQ201CarriageDriverBlockingTopic I'm paid to wait to take you home. Enjoy yourself. MQ201CarriageDriverBlockingTopic The lady's already paid the fee. We leave when she gives the word. MQ201DelphineCarriageNotReady This is no time for cold feet. I've put everything in your hands here, not least Malborn's life. MQ201DelphineCarriageNotReady Now do whatever it is you need to do, and let's get going before we miss our chance! MQ201DelphineCarriageReady Don't worry, it will all be waiting for you when you get back. MQ201DelphineCarriageReady Just make sure you get back out of there alive with the information we need. MQ201DelphineCarriageReady Good luck. MQ201DelphineCarriageTopic You can't go to a party at the Thalmor Embassy dressed like that. MQ201DelphineCarriageTopic Have you given Malborn the gear you want to smuggle into the embassy? MQ201DelphineExplainsCarriageRide When you're ready, I'll keep the rest of your gear safe until you get back. MQ201DelphineExplainsCarriageRide You'll only have what Malborn smuggled in for you, plus whatever you can pick up inside. MQ201DelphineFiguredOutPlan I've figured out how we're going to get you into the Thalmor Embassy. MQ201DelphineIntro2NewA2 Nothing solid. Yet. But my gut tells me it can't be anybody else. MQ201DelphineIntro2NewA2 The Empire had captured Ulfric. The war was basically over. Then a dragon attacks, Ulfric escapes, and the war is back on. MQ201DelphineIntro2NewA2 And now the dragons are attacking everywhere, indiscriminately. Skyrim is weakened, the Empire is weakened. MQ201DelphineIntro2NewA2 Who else gains from that but the Thalmor? MQ201DelphineIntro2NewA3 Before the Great War, the Blades helped the Empire against the Thalmor. MQ201DelphineIntro2NewA3 Our Grand Master saw them as the greatest threat to Tamriel. At the time, that was true. Maybe it still is. MQ201DelphineIntro2NewA3 So we fought them in the shadows, all across Tamriel. We thought we were more than a match for them. We were wrong. MQ201DelphineIntro3A1 If we could get into the Thalmor Embassy... it's the center of their operations in Skyrim... MQ201DelphineIntro3A1 Problem is, that place is locked up tighter than a miser's purse. They could teach me a few things about paranoia... MQ201DelphineIntro3A1 Well, well. You've slain my followers. I should destroy you for your impudence! MQ201DelphineIntro3A1 On the other hand, you've weeded out the weak from among those who would deign worship me. MQ201DelphineIntro3A1 You could be the one I seek... if your will is strong, lure a thrall to my shrine. Convince him to embrace the Pillar of Sacrifice. Then slay him. MQ201DelphineIntro3A1 Do this, and I shall favor you. MQ201DelphineIntro3Continue I'm not sure yet. I have a few ideas, but I'll need some time to pull things together... MQ201DelphineIntro3Continue Meet me back in Riverwood. If I'm not back when you get there, wait for me. I shouldn't be long. MQ201DelphineIntro3Continue Keep an eye on the sky. This is only going to get worse. MQ201DelphineIntro3EntryTopic We need to find out if the Thalmor are behind the dragons coming back. We need to get into the Thalmor Embassy, somehow... MQ201DelphineIntroA1 I'm one of the last members of the Blades. MQ201DelphineIntroA1 A very long time ago, the Blades were dragonslayers, and we served the Dragonborn, the greatest dragonslayer. MQ201DelphineIntroA1 For the last two hundred years, since the last Dragonborn emperor, the Blades have been searching for a purpose. MQ201DelphineIntroA1 Now that dragons are coming back, our purpose is clear again. We need to stop them. MQ201DelphineIntroA2 Not a damn thing. I was just as surprised as you to find that big black dragon here. MQ201DelphineIntroA3 Really? Where? MQ201DelphineIntroA3A1 Interesting. Same dragon... MQ201DelphineIntroA3A1 Damn it, we're blundering around in the dark here! We need to figure out who's behind it all! MQ201DelphineIntroA4 The first thing we need to do is figure out who's behind the dragons. MQ201DelphineIntroA4 The Thalmor are our best lead. If they aren't involved, they'll know who is. MQ201DelphineIntroContinue Go ahead. Whatever you want to know. Nothing held back. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodA1 That would be a bad idea. I'd be too likely to attract the wrong kind of attention. But they don't know you at all, yet. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodA1 I don't think you were followed. Come on. I have a plan. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodA1 So you really are... MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodA2 I've been doing this a long time, remember? While the Thalmor's been looking for me, I've been watching them. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodA3 So that's your plan, huh? Even if you could survive, by the time you got inside, whatever documents they had would be long gone. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodA3 We're there for information, remember? Trust me, I've been doing this for a long time. My way is better. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodB1 The Thalmor ambassador, Elenwen, regularly throws parties where the rich and connected cozy up to the Thalmor. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodB1 I can get you into one of those parties. Once you're inside the Embassy, you get away and find Elenwen's secret files. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodB1 I have a contact inside the Embassy. He's not up for this kind of high-risk mission, but he can help you. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodB1 His name's Malborn. Wood elf, plenty of reason to hate the Thalmor. You can trust him. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodB1 I'll get word for him to meet you in Solitude, at the Winking Skeever -- you know it? MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodB1 While you're doing that, I'll work on getting you an invitation to Elenwen's little party. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodB1 Meet me at the Solitude stables after you've arranged things with Malborn. Any questions? MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodC1 Don't worry about Malborn. He's not a dangerous character like you, but he hates the Thalmor at least as much as I do. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodC1 He's a wood elf - the Thalmor wiped out his family back in Valenwood during one of their purges that we never hear about. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodC1 Luckily they don't know who he really is, or he wouldn't be serving drinks at the Ambassador's parties. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodC2 Let me handle that. You'll have a real invitation, don't worry. As long as you can act the part of a Thalmor toady, you'll get past the guards. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodC3 That's when the fun starts. You'll have to slip away from the party without raising the alarm. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodC3 Then you'll need to find Elenwen's office and search her files. Malborn should be able to point you in the right direction. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodC4 Sounds good. Be careful. MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodTopic What? Something you're still confused about? MQ201DelphineIntroRiverwoodTopic Not here. Downstairs. MQ201DelphineIntroTopic I owe you some answers, don't I? MQ201DelphineIntroTopic I'll be damned, you did it! MQ201DelphineIntroTopic This is worse than I thought... MQ201DelphineIntroTopic Look around, see if you see anything unusual. Any signs of the mound being disturbed. Anything. MQ201DelphineIntroTopic If my analysis is correct, the dragon buried near Kynesgrove will be the next to come back to life. MQ201DelphineIntroTopic We need to find that burial mound before its dragon comes back to life. MQ201DelphineLearnAnythingUseful Did you learn anything useful? MQ201DelphineMetMalbornNo You need to meet with him and give him whatever you think you can't live without while you're inside the embassy. MQ201DelphineMetMalbornNo The Thalmor are paranoid and thorough. You won't get in the front door with anything but the clothes on your back. MQ201DelphineMetMalbornYes Good. I have your invitation to the party. MQ201DelphineMetMalbornYes But the only way you're going to get past the guards is if they really believe you're an invited guest. MQ201DelphineMetMalbornYes Which means you need to look the part, and not be armed to the teeth. Here, put this on. MQ201DelphineOutro2A1 Ironic, right? The old enemies assume that every calamity must be a plot by the other side... MQ201DelphineOutro2A1 Even so, we've got to find Esbern before they do. He'll know how to stop the dragons if anybody does. MQ201DelphineOutro2A1 Do they know where he is? MQ201DelphineOutro2A2 Riften, eh? Probably down in the Ratway, then. It's where I'd go. MQ201DelphineOutro2B1 You'd better get to Riften. Ask around the Ragged Flagon, in the Ratway. It's at least a good starting point. MQ201DelphineOutro2B1 You'd better get to Riften. Talk to Brynjolf. He's... well-connected. A good starting point at least. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Oh, and when you find Esbern... if you think I'm paranoid... you may have some trouble getting him to trust you. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Just ask him where he was on the 30th of Frostfall. He'll know what it means. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 There you are. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 There you are! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I knew I'd find you! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Can't hide from me. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Nobody here anymore. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Must've scared 'em off. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Cleared out, I guess. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Guess it's all clear now. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Oh well. Must have run off. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 No sign of 'em. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Nobody here now. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Is it safe? MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Damn, where'd you go? MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Where are you hiding? MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I'll find you... MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Come back here! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I hope there aren't any more. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 That takes care of that. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Good enough. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Teach you to mess with me. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 All over now. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Phew! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 That's the last of them. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I guess I was just hearing things. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Hmm. Nothing here after all. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Must be my imagination. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I was sure I heard something. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Must have been nothing. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Just getting jumpy I guess. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Mind's playing tricks on me... MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Come on! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Here we go. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Hey! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Ahhh! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 You're dead! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Get him! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 You're mine! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 By Ysmir, you won't leave here alive! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Oh, no you don't! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 You're as good as dead! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Don't just stand there! Kill him! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Don't just stand there! Kill her! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Well well. Another maggot to squash beneath my boot. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Attack! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 To arms, boys! To arms! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 What in the bloody blazes? MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Never should have come here... MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Ahh! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Now you're mine! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Thought I heard something. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Aha! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Time to end this little game! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I knew it! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Did you hear something? MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Hello? Who's there? MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Is... is someone there? MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 You can't hide from me forever. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I know you're here somewhere. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 When I find you, you're dead. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 You afraid to fight me? MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I know you can hear me! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Come on, show yourself! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Stay away from me! MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I'm going to find you. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 You won't get away. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Anybody there? MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 I know I heard something. MQ201DelphineOutro2C1 Hello? Who's there? MQ201DelphineOutro2Topic You mean, aside from wanting to kill every Blade they can lay their hands on? MQ201DelphineOutro2Topic Esbern was one of the Blades archivists, back before the Thalmor smashed us during the Great War. MQ201DelphineOutro2Topic He knew everything about the ancient dragonlore of the Blades. MQ201DelphineOutro2Topic Obsessed with it, really. Nobody paid much attention back then. I guess he wasn't as crazy as we all thought. MQ201DelphineOutroA1 Really? That seems hard to believe. You're sure about that? MQ201DelphineOutroB1 You're right, you're right. I just... I was sure it must have been them. If not the Thalmor, who? Or... what? MQ201DelphineReturnGear You made it out alive, at least. Your gear's safe in my room, as promised. MQ201DelphineThalmorLookingForEsbern Esbern? He's alive? I thought the Thalmor must have got him years ago. That crazy old man... MQ201DelphineThalmorLookingForEsbern Figures the Thalmor would be on his trail, though, if they were trying to find out what's going on with the dragons. MQ201DelphineThatWillHaveToDo Hmm. I guess that will have to do. You should pass for a real guest, at least until you open your mouth. MQ201DelphineThatWillHaveToDo Ready to board the carriage to the embassy? MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroA1 Thank you, sir. Go right in. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroA1 Thank you, ma'am. Go right in. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroA2 Of course not. Purely a formality. Now, I need to see your invitation. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroA3 Of course. Just bring it to me when you find it. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic Welcome to the Thalmor Embassy. Your invitation, please. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic Your invitation, please. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic You must present your invitation to be admitted to the party. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic Go right on in. The party has already started. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic I'm sorry, sir, I'm on duty. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm on duty. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic We're not supposed to talk to the guests. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic The Thalmor Embassy welcomes you. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic Please proceed into the Embassy. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic Guests are advised to remain inside the Embassy. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic I prefer to arrive early. Often the day before the party. So as not to miss out on any of the drinking. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic There's not enough drinking in the world today, wouldn't you agree? MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic I will just... rest here a moment. Although it is damnably cold out here. I don't look forward to the trip back down... MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic Perhaps we might share a carriage after the party? MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic I know, I know - we've just met. But think, by the time the party is over we'll no doubt be fast friends. I look forward to it. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic Please. Take your time. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic Don't mind me. I'm perfectly insensible to the cold. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic I'll go after you. Although these fellows know me. I never miss one of Elenwen's parties, you see. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic My lateness is due more to getting lost on the way up this gods-forsaken mountain than to any desire to actually arrive late. MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic And arriving by carriage, no less! I salute you, sir! MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic And arriving by carriage, no less! I salute you, my good lady! MQ201EmbassyGuardIntroTopic Ah! A fellow latecomer to Elenwen's little soiree. MQ201ErikurBrelasA1 Really? Yes, maybe that would be just the thing. She seemed to be playing hard to get when I spoke to her earlier. MQ201ErikurBrelasA1 Go on. See what she says. Now you've gone and gotten my hopes up again. MQ201ErikurBrelasA2 Ha. We'll see. I do have my eye on her, but she seemed a bit cold when I spoke to her earlier. Maybe just playing hard to get, eh? MQ201ErikurBrelasTopic Mmm, yes... Brelas, is that the one? I hope you're not thinking of cutting me out, are you? Haha. MQ201ErikurBrelasTopic I'm warning you, when I get my heart set on something I'm not easily put off. MQ201ErikurBusinessTopicTopic Not every Nord is obsessed with strength, honor and skill at arms. MQ201ErikurBusinessTopicTopic A rare few are born with a gift for making money. My investments are my strength and my wealth is my weapon. MQ201ErikurBusinessTopicTopic As for honor, well, there are some luxuries even I can't afford. MQ201ErikurWhoAreYouTopic You must be new to Skyrim, or you'd already know who I am. I have a stake in most anything of importance in Solitude. MQ201ErikurWhoAreYouTopic I feel that it's time to put aside the grievances of the past, and let peace and prosperity flourish between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion. MQ201ErikurWhoAreYouTopic I try to do my little part. Besides, just between you and me, it's making me pots of money, hahaha. MQ201GeneralBlockingTopic Go. Out. Before I change my mind. MQ201GissurBlockingTopic You must be new. We don't talk to each other here. MQ201GissurBlockingTopic You here to see Rulindil, too, eh? None of my business of course. MQ201GissurBlockingTopic Push off, will you? MQ201MalbornAssassinBlockingA1 Malborn? Ah... very good. I think we understand each other. MQ201MalbornAssassinBlockingA2 Indeed. That would be best. MQ201MalbornAssassinBlockingTopic Move on, friend. I have nothing to sell today. MQ201MalbornAssassinBlockingTopic Move on, friend. I have nothing to sell today. MQ201MalbornAssassinSummary I was trying to get to Morrowind. The Dunmer don't care much for the Thalmor and I figured I'd be safe there. As safe as anywhere,that is. MQ201MalbornAssassinSummary But there's a Khajiit hanging around the main gate. I didn't like the way he was looking at me. MQ201MalbornAssassinSummary I'm sure he's Thalmor. Just waiting for me to leave so he can follow me and kill me in a lonely place. MQ201MalbornCaravanTopic Ah. You must mean that one over there. He's not one of us. MQ201MalbornCaravanTopic Thalmor filth, eh? Giving all Khajiit a bad name. MQ201MalbornEquipmentNotReady I'll give you a few more minutes. I can't wait here all day. It's my neck on the line, remember. MQ201MalbornEquipmentReady Okay. I'll get this inside the Embassy for you. I've got to go. I'll find you at the party, don't worry. MQ201MalbornEquipmentTopic Your job is to get into the party without being fingered as a spy. I'll take care of the rest. MQ201MalbornEquipmentTopic Here's the deal. I can smuggle some equipment into the Embassy for you. MQ201MalbornEquipmentTopic Don't plan on bringing anything else in with you. The Thalmor take security very seriously. MQ201MalbornEquipmentTopic Give me what you can't live without, and I'll make sure to get it into the Embassy. The rest is up to you. MQ201MalbornEquipmentTopic You ready yet? I need to get back before I'm missed. Remember, you won't have anything except what I smuggle in for you. MQ201MalbornEquipmentWhatToBring You're asking me? She promised that she was sending someone who knew what they were doing... MQ201MalbornEquipmentWhatToBring If you actually want to get out alive, I'd bring whatever you need to move quietly, and kill quickly. MQ201MalbornEscapeBlockingTopic Now the Thalmor will be hunting me for the rest of my life. I hope it was worth it. MQ201MalbornEscapeBlockingTopic I should have known this would end badly. I can't believe I let Delphine talk me into this. MQ201MalbornEscapeBlockingTopic Let's get out of here, for pity's sake! MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Really? You're who she picked? I hope she knows what she's doing. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic You should just serve your time. Find an ore vein and start digging. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic You're not in here for life, like I am. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I left behind my daughter Uaile when I was taken. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic How old is my daughter now, I wonder? In prison, you lose track of time. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I'm just another Forsworn sent to rot here in this mine. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic You need to not bother me. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic You're talking to a killer, remember that. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic You serve your time by digging. So dig. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Prison's not so bad. Less complaints when I kill people. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic What? MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Cidhna Mine's for prisoner scum only. Keep out. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I'm in charge of the prisoners here. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic No funny business. I'm watching you. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic You do something out of line, I'll put you down. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Don't reach for a shiv around me, or we'll both regret it. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic What do you want? Have digging to do. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Other prisoners get suspicious when we talk to each other, so keep it down. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Whenever I get out of here, I'm going to go kill a Nord. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I was sent here because someone said I was a Forsworn. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I'm innocent. The Nords framed me. I was nowhere near that murder weapon. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I wonder how grandma Bothela is doing. She's probably worried sick about me. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic What do you want, new blood? MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Jarl decided I was too much of a problem. Threw me in here with the Forsworn. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I got locked up one too many times. Now I'm in for life. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I swear, if I ever get out of here, I'm giving up thieving. Really. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic You mess with the Silver-Blood family, you end up here. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I catch you stealing anything, I'll break your neck. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Now this is real guard duty. Just throw them in the mine and be done with it. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Hurry it up. I've got to get back before I'm missed. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Come on. If someone misses me at the party, we're both dead. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic I need to lock the door behind you or the patrols might notice something's wrong. MQ201MalbornIntroTopic Your gear is in that chest. I'll lock the door behind you. Don't screw this up. MQ201MalbornLetsGo Let's go, let's go! Before anyone notices us. MQ201MalbornPartyBlockingTopic Let me do the talking. MQ201MalbornPartyBlockingTopic Not now. MQ201MalbornPartyBlockingTopic Shut up, will you? MQ201MalbornPartyBlockingTopic What can I get for you? MQ201MalbornPartyBlockingTopic You made it in. Good. As soon as you distract the guards, I'll open this door and we can get you on your way. MQ201MalbornPartyBlockingTopic Let's hope we both live through this day. MQ201MalbornPostQuestA1 Trying to stay ahead of the Thalmor assassins. I'm not a hero like you. I don't stand a chance. MQ201MalbornPostQuestA2 I count my blessings every day. MQ201MalbornPostQuestA3 Don't worry, I'm mad at her, too. And at myself for ever agreeing to get involved in her insane scheme. MQ201MalbornPostQuestAssassinA1 You'd be saving my life. Again. I know I probably seemed ungrateful... I've just been so scared. Expecting a knife at my throat any minute. MQ201MalbornPostQuestAssassinA2 No, you can't ever be too paranoid where the Thalmor is concerned. Look what happened to the Blades. The Blades! MQ201MalbornPostQuestAssassinA2 If the damn Blades are no match for the Thalmor, what chance do I have? MQ201MalbornPostQuestAssassinA2 Please, just go check it out. You'll be saving my life. MQ201MalbornPostQuestB1 Trying to stay alive. I think time's running out though. I'm pretty sure the Thalmor know where I am. MQ201MalbornPostQuestB1 Maybe you can help me. You know, by way of making amends for getting me into this mess. MQ201MalbornPostQuestC1 You will? Really? Well, okay, here's the situation. MQ201MalbornPostQuestC2 Sure, fine. Thanks for nothing. You already got what you needed from me. MQ201MalbornPostQuestSummary I'm sure he's Thalmor. Just waiting for me to leave so he can follow me and kill me in a lonely place. MQ201MalbornPostQuestSummary I was trying to get to Morrowind. The Dunmer don't care much for the Thalmor and I figured I'd be safe there. As safe as anywhere,that is. MQ201MalbornPostQuestSummary But there's a Khajiit hanging around the main gate. I didn't like the way he was looking at me. MQ201MalbornPostQuestSummary I'm sure he's Thalmor. Just waiting for me to leave so he can follow me and kill me in a lonely place. MQ201MalbornPostQuestSummary That's... great news. I'd... I'd better go. Right now. Before they find me again. This is my chance. MQ201MalbornPostQuestSummary Thank you! Here... I stole a lot from the Thalmor over the years. You may as well have some of it. MQ201MalbornPostQuestSummary I was trying to get to Morrowind. The Dunmer don't care much for the Thalmor and I figured I'd be safe there. As safe as anywhere, that is. MQ201MalbornPostQuestSummary But there's a Khajiit hanging around the main gate. I didn't like the way he was looking at me. MQ201MalbornPostQuestTopic Oh, it's you. I didn't expect to see you again. MQ201MalbornPostQuestTopic Well, we'd better get back to our rounds. MQ201MavenWhoAreYouTopic To maintain relationships. MQ201MavenWhoAreYouTopic By the way, I don't know who you are, but unless you want me to blow your cover, I'd advise that you avoid me for the rest of the party. MQ201OndolemarWhoAreYouTopic There are those in the Empire who would wish to evade their obligations to help root out the Talos heresy. MQ201OndolemarWhoAreYouTopic Fortunately, those most opposed to the Emperor's wise policy have now branded themselves traitors as well as heretics. MQ201OndolemarWhoAreYouTopic I am here to remind the ruling classes of Skyrim that their loyalty to the Emperor requires cooperation with the Thalmor. MQ201PartyBalgruufBlockingTopic I've got this. Do what you need to do. MQ201PartyBalgruufBlockingTopic This gathering is nothing more than a boast. The Thalmor are reminding us that we're at their beck and call. MQ201PartyBalgruufBlockingTopic We've got troubles enough without the Thalmor and their witch-hunts. MQ201PartyBalgruufBlockingTopic I'd rather be back at Whiterun, but while I'm here I might as well get some real news from the other parts of Skyrim. MQ201PartyBalgruufBlockingTopic These Thalmor might not like to admit it, but as long as the Empire has Skyrim, the Empire has strength. MQ201PartyBalgruufHostTopic Not well at all, and I'm happy to keep it that way. MQ201PartyBalgruufHostTopic That woman and her Thalmor Justiciars have caused nothing but problems for the people of Skyrim. MQ201PartyBardBlockingTopic I hope you're enjoying the music, sir. MQ201PartyBardBlockingTopic I hope you're enjoying the music, ma'am. MQ201PartyBardBlockingTopic These parties are a great way to earn a little extra money. MQ201PartyBardBlockingTopic It's good practice. Most people barely notice what I'm playing. MQ201PartyBardBlockingTopic I hope to get into the Bards College one day. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Ugh. Erikur, right? He was talking to me earlier. I could tell what he was after. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic I hate working these parties. Some of the guests are nice, but there's always a few like Erikur. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Please tell him to leave me alone. Politely. I'm sure you'll have better luck getting through to him than I would. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic I hope you're enjoying yourself, sir. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic I hope you're enjoying yourself, ma'am. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic What can I get for you? MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic I trust that this is just the begining of a long and mutually beneficial relationship. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic I'm so glad you could attend today. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic I hope you're enjoying yourself. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Please, help yourself to more wine. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic The hospitality of the Thalmor Embassy is at your service. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Well, I'm glad that little unpleasantness is over. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Yes, Madame Ambassador. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Sir, you must tell her! You don't know what they'll do to me! Please! MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Mistress Elenwen, it's not true! I did nothing! MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic No! MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Well. Whatever the truth of it, I'm sure a few words with Master Rulindil will have a salutary effect. Take her downstairs. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Is that so, Erikur? And you with such delicate sensibilities. It must have been most upsetting. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic I demand that you have this wench removed from my presence at once! MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Elenwen! This servant girl has been throwing herself at me in a most disgusting manner. MQ201PartyBrelasErikurTopic Now you're going to be sorry you crossed me. MQ201PartyDistractionElisif Oh... all right. If it's so important to you, I suppose I can help. MQ201PartyDistractionIgmund Very well. I suppose there's nothing wrong with a bit of harmless fun. MQ201PartyDistractionPersuadeElisif I'm sorry, but I really can't. MQ201PartyDistractionPersuadeIgmund Sorry, but you'll have to find someone else to help you with your prank. MQ201PartyDistractionPersuadeSiddgeir Mmm, sorry. I really can't risk it. I'm sure you can find someone else with a little less dignity. MQ201PartyDistractionPersuadeVittoria Well. Anything to relieve the boredom. As long as it doesn't get back to me. MQ201PartyDistractionPersuadeVittoria I don't think so. Sorry. I would love to help you, but Elenwen can be very vindictive. I wouldn't want to get on her bad side. MQ201PartyDistractionSiddgeir Ah, I see. Very well, my friend. I'll do it. MQ201PartyDrunkHowToHelp Is that all? My friend, you've come to the right person. You could say that causing a scene is somewhat of a specialty of mine. MQ201PartyDrunkHowToHelp Stand back and behold my handiwork. MQ201PartyDrunkNeedHelp Wonderful! I can begin to repay your generosity immediately. Say on, friend. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Your wish is my command! As long as it doesn't involve much physical activity. I seem to be having trouble staying on my feet at the moment. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks What is this madness? Rexus, help me! MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Wait! That's not how this is supposed to work! MQ201PartyDrunkThanks What are you doing? I thought we were friends! MQ201PartyDrunkThanks You can't be serious. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks What do you expect to find? My juggling balls? He he. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Hey, that's my lint! Ha, Cicero is just joking. You can have it. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks If I had anything worth giving, I'd have offered it already. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Anything good in there? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks See if they have any cheese. I'm getting a bit... peckish. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks You're putting your hand... in my pocket? Have you gone complete cracked? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks I've hardly anything worth pickpocketing... MQ201PartyDrunkThanks This how you get your thrills? Feeling up an old man? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks I haven't been touched like that since I visited a certain brothel in the city of Sentinel... MQ201PartyDrunkThanks It would seem you're not the accomplished pickpocket you think you are... MQ201PartyDrunkThanks What do you hope to find? Sweets and my dolly? Or maybe some of my spare Nightshade? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks You're not actually... picking my pocket? Well, you've got guts. I'll give you that. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks It's... it's like watching an artist create a masterpiece. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks And another soul for Sithis. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks You are an inspiration. Do you know that? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Oooh. Time to kill? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Finally! MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Ooh. That had to hurt. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks What? Why would the stranger attack innocent Cicero? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Ow! What did I do? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks What have I done, Listener? Has Cicero offended you? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks By Sithis, you will pay for that! MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Why you insolent little bastard... MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Is that... the best... you can do... MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Ow... It hurts when I laugh. He he... MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Have you... gone... completely... mad? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks This... this is... an outrage... MQ201PartyDrunkThanks It will... take more than that... to stop me... MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Ooh. What a fun trick. Teach me, teach me! MQ201PartyDrunkThanks For someone called the "Listener," you do an awful lot of shouting... MQ201PartyDrunkThanks That's my boy. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks I hate them. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Because they don't care about you or I, cub. They think they're better than all of us, and that we can just be thrown away. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Why did they do that? Why would they be so evil? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Eirid's a little girl who doesn't understand that they're responsible for destroying our home. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Eirid says the mages at the College are nice people, but you said they're bad. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks And it's clear money matters more to Dagur than honor. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks It's clear that memories are far too short. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks This is what it's come to. No one seems to care what they've done to our home. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks That... wizard is still at the Inn. I can't believe Dagur allows him to stay there. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks I'm sure you're right. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Not like this. Feels colder than usual. Bet it's those damned Mages. MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Aren't they all? MQ201PartyDrunkThanks Looks to be another cold day. MQ201PartyDrunkTopic Of course! I would do anything for you, my one and truest friend! What do you need from me? MQ201PartyDrunkTopic Ah, the one generous soul amongst a gathering of pinch-pennies and lick-spittles! MQ201PartyDrunkTopic If there's anything I can ever do for you, do not hesitate to call upon me! MQ201PartyDrunkTopic Ah, the nectar of the gods! If there's ever anything I can do for you, just name it! MQ201PartyDrunkTopic My friend, you are very perceptive! I have a powerful thirst that cannot be slaked! MQ201PartyDrunkTopic And none of the waiters will bring me a drink. Elenwen must have told them to cut me off, the frigid bitch. MQ201PartyDrunkTopic Afraid I'll cause another scene, I suppose... MQ201PartyDrunkTopic Indeed. Being a drunken boor is thirsty work. And I can't seem to find my way back to the bar... MQ201PartyDrunkTopic I have Alva to take care of now. I don't need Helgi anymore. MQ201PartyElenwenBlockingTopic Welcome. I don't believe we've met. I am Elenwen, the Thalmor Ambassador to Skyrim. MQ201PartyElenwenBlockingTopic And you are...? MQ201PartyElenwenBlockingTopic Yes, yes. Now to find myself a drink. MQ201PartyElenwenBlockingTopic Everything's in order. Welcome back, sir. MQ201PartyElenwenBlockingTopic I'm just doing my duty, sir. MQ201PartyElenwenBlockingTopic Now then. Here's my invitation, I don't have a poisoned dagger strapped to my thigh, et cetera, et cetera. MQ201PartyElenwenCivilWar As long as the Empire continues to uphold its treaty obligations, my government does not concern itself with the internal politics of Skyrim. MQ201PartyElenwenExpenseTopic Of course not. One does not gather the most important men and women of Skyrim and then serve them cheap ale and stale bread. MQ201PartyElenwenExpenseTopic This is only a taste of the benefits that accrue to those that align themselves with Thalmor interests. MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Ah yes. I remember your name from the guest list. MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 He looks so... sweet. Go ahead. Have the first bite. MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Dir volaan! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Bolog aaz, mal lir! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Faaz! Paak! Dinok! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Kren sosaal! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Qiilaan us dilon! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Sovngarde saraan! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Daanik Kendov! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Unslaad Krosis! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA1 Aav dilon! MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA2 Don't worry, my parties are always well-stocked with the finest food and drink available in this country. MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA2 But first, you were introducing yourself. MQ201PartyElenwenIntroA3 Have you? All good, I trust. But you have me at a disadvantage. I'm afraid I know nothing about you... MQ201PartyElenwenIntroB1 Please, tell me more about yourself. What brings you to this... to Skyrim? MQ201PartyElenwenIntroB1 My apologies. We'll have to get better acquainted later. Please, enjoy yourself. MQ201PartyElenwenIntroB1 Yes, Madame Ambassador. MQ201PartyElenwenIntroB1 Of course. I've told you before not to bother me with such trifles. MQ201PartyElenwenIntroB1 Do I have your permission to uncork the Arenthia red... MQ201PartyElenwenIntroB1 It's just that we've run out of the Alto wine. MQ201PartyElenwenIntroB1 What is it, Malborn? MQ201PartyElenwenIntroB1 Madame Ambassador, I'm so sorry to interrupt... MQ201PartyElenwenJusticiars The Thalmor Justiciars are so often misunderstood. Our primary goal is to preserve the peace between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion. MQ201PartyElenwenJusticiars The worship of the false god Talos contributed to the unfortunate friction that led to the Great War. MQ201PartyElenwenJusticiars Following the Great War, the White-Gold Concordat set out the terms for peaceful coexistence between the two powers. MQ201PartyElenwenJusticiars The Empire and the Dominion agreed that the worship of Talos was a relic of the past, and must be eliminated in the interests of peace. MQ201PartyElenwenJusticiars But I'm sure you didn't come here for a lecture on high politics. MQ201PartyElenwenOftenTopic Quite often, yes. The only thing I enjoy more than luxury is sharing that luxury with those who can appreciate it. MQ201PartyElenwenOftenTopic But I also enjoy learning the latest gossip and hear the most intriguing rumors. MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic One of my main duties is to foster a better understanding between the Aldmeri Dominion and the people of Skyrim. MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic I also oversee the activities of the Thalmor Justiciars throughout Skyrim, although this has been unfortunately disrupted by the war. MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic Father won't let me go see the dragon. MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic Is it true? Did you really capture a dragon on the Great Porch? MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic A dragon in Dragonsreach. That's something I never saw coming. MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic So my brother really did it. Whiterun will be the toast of Skyrim for this! MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic I'll be glad when that beast is gone from Dragonsreach. I never understood what the point of all this was. MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic Capturing that dragon was a mighty deed. In my younger days, I'd have been the first to join in the attempt. MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic A captive dragon, just think of the possibilities! MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic Skuldafn fen kos dinok. MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic Alduin saraan hin sil ko Sovngarde! MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic Het siiv nunon dinok. MQ201PartyElenwenPoliticsTopic Boziik, Dovahkiin. Nuz mey. MQ201PartyElisifBlockingTopic Go ahead and play your little joke. MQ201PartyElisifBlockingTopic When I married Torygg, he promised we'd go to lavish parties just like this. I wish he were here now. MQ201PartyElisifBlockingTopic Isn't this something? Elenwen really knows how to host a party! MQ201PartyElisifBlockingTopic I could learn a lot from the people in this room. MQ201PartyElisifBlockingTopic Have you tried the wine? It's better than anything in the Blue Palace. MQ201PartyElisifEnjoyingTopic Very much so, yes. MQ201PartyElisifEnjoyingTopic Elewen's parties are always so elegant. She really has impeccable taste. MQ201PartyElisifEnjoyingTopic My only regret is that she doesn't host them more often. MQ201PartyElisifJarlTopic I beg your pardon? MQ201PartyElisifJarlTopic You must have me mistaken for someone else. I am Elisif, widow of High King Torygg and Jarl of Solitude. MQ201PartyElisifJarlTopic Lucky for you, I possess a forgiving nature and I'm not easily insulted. MQ201PartyElisifSolitudeTopic Why, thank you. You are most courteous. MQ201PartyElisifSolitudeTopic I admit, I'm surprised to see you here. Normally these parties are reserved for the Jarls and business leaders of Skyrim. MQ201PartyElisifSolitudeTopic Elenwen must be very fond of you. MQ201PartyErikurA1 Ha. Don't toy with me. I may just have to seize my opportunity with both hands, ha ha ha. But we'll play it your way for now. MQ201PartyErikurA2 Haha. I knew it! No woman yet born has been able to resist my charms for long. Thank you, my friend. I owe you one. MQ201PartyErikurA3 What? That little tease! Leading me on and turning cold at the last minute. I don't think so. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic Have you talked to Brelas yet? I'm not a patient man, you know. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic Did you see that serving girl? I hear elf women are insatiable... MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic For the man who knows how to make money, war can be a most profitable venture. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic The Great War is long past. It's time the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion put aside their differences. Prosperity is good for everyone. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic Elenwen always throws quite a party. I never miss one if I can help it. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic Yes, sir. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic Oh... not at the moment. Maybe later. Don't go far. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic Um, thank you. Sir. Was there anything else I can do for you? MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic No, no, that's not what I'm interested in right now. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic I just wanted to get a better look at you. I like what I see, my dear. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic And believe me, I don't say that to everyone. I'm very discriminating when it comes to the female form. MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic Uh, Brelas, sir. Did you need a drink? Something to eat? MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic You there! Serving girl! What's your name, dear? MQ201PartyErikurBlockingTopic There's a likely-looking filly. Even if she is an elf. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionNo Don't presume upon our friendship. My first loyalty is to the Thalmor, as you well know. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionNo Yes, that's probably for the best. I really shouldn't risk getting on Elenwen's bad side. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionNo Yes, this probably isn't really the place for your little jokes. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionNo Thank you. I knew you'd understand. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionNo I'll try to forget you ever asked. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionTopic Let's hear it. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionTopic Well... let's hear it. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionTopic My ears are always open to a friend's request. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionTopic Say on, friend. What do you need? MQ201PartyFriendDistractionTopic I'm always glad to help a friend if I can. What do you need? MQ201PartyFriendDistractionTopic Oh? Something interesting, I hope? MQ201PartyFriendDistractionTopic Of course! I mean... assuming you don't want me to kill someone for you. I might have to draw the line there. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionTopic I'm listening. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionTopic What is it, my friend? MQ201PartyFriendDistractionYes Say no more. I was wondering what you were doing here... I'm glad to play my part. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionYes I trust you don't presume on our friendship? I am a Jarl, after all. I wouldn't want to appear foolish in front of these people. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionYes Nothing would please me more. I'll keep their eyes away while you do what you came here for. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionYes Hmm. I don't want to get involved in anything beneath my dignity as Jarl. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionYes Oh... perhaps not, then. I don't think the Jarl of Solitude should be participating in a childish prank. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionYes I don't know... I don't want to do anything that might offend Elenwen. There is a lot of money at stake, after all. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionYes I don't even want to know, do I? But for you... all right. I'll do it. MQ201PartyFriendDistractionYes This is very irregular. I trust that whatever you're doing doesn't compromise my position in any way? MQ201PartyFriendDistractionYes That's it? Sure. Shouldn't be too hard. I usually end up making a fool out of myself without even trying. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Do enjoy yourself. MQ201PartyGoodbyes I need another drink. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Goodbye, then. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Farewell. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Don't let me keep you. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Until later, then. MQ201PartyGoodbyes May wisdom light your path. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Good speaking with you. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Until next time. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Keep an eye on these Thalmor. You never know... MQ201PartyGoodbyes Come and visit me in Solitude sometime. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Very well then. MQ201PartyGoodbyes It was a pleasure, thank you. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Well, I did hear that the Argonians have been banned from living inside the walls of Windhelm. MQ201PartyGoodbyes They're only allowed on the city docks now. Most of them sleep together in one building, and they're as poor as wretches. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Have you visited Rorikstead lately? No matter how harsh the winter, the crops that grow there never falter. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Even when every other farm in the hold is barely scraping by, the harvest at Rorikstead is always bountiful. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Is it good fortune? The blessings of the Divines? Who knows? MQ201PartyGoodbyes Now that I think on it, I did hear something rather interesting the other day. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Apparently, the Red Wave has been docked in Solitude for well over a month, and with no sign of shipping out any time soon. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Some say the ship suffered damage to her hull when she struck an iceberg, and Captain Safia can't afford the repairs. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Of course, she would never admit such a thing. Captain Safia is far too proud a woman for that. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Well, there might be nothing to it, but I've heard that the feud between the Gray-Manes and the Battle-Borns in Whiterun has grown ugly. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Fralia Gray-Mane is convinced that the Battle-Borns have abducted one of her sons. MQ201PartyGoodbyes I'm not sure that it's news, but lately it seems like every blacksmith in Skyrim is out to prove that he's the equal of Eorlund Gray-Mane. MQ201PartyGoodbyes It's not really a fair comparison, if you ask me. MQ201PartyGoodbyes After all, Eorlund works the Skyforge. How is any smith going to compete with that? MQ201PartyGoodbyes Well, I did see something interesting not long ago. MQ201PartyGoodbyes There were several Khajiit camped outside the walls of Whiterun. Seems they've been traveling around the whole of Skyrim peddling their wares. MQ201PartyGoodbyes You've got to admire their courage, doing something like that with dragons on the loose and a war going on. MQ201PartyGoodbyes I heard those mages up in Winterhold have been trying to figure out how many dragons there are in Skyrim. MQ201PartyGoodbyes They seem to think it's at least a dozen, but I'm sure they're exaggerating. MQ201PartyGoodbyes They're probably trying to scare us into giving them more money and influence, so they can save us from the dragons threat. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Well, I did hear that Ulfric Stormcloak was slain while defending Windhelm against a dragon, but it sounds too good to be true. MQ201PartyGoodbyes I'll wager it was Ulfric himself that started the rumor. Maybe he thought it would bolster recruitment. MQ201PartyGoodbyes Yes, I agree with you. Have you heard any news from the other parts of Skyrim? MQ201PartyGoodbyes You speak truly. Have you heard any interesting rumors of late? MQ201PartyGoodbyes I'll not argue that. Heard any interesting gossip lately? MQ201PartyGoodbyes I couldn't agree more. By the way, have you heard any interesting rumors lately? MQ201PartyGoodbyes I couldn't have said it better myself. It's been some time since I've had news from elsewhere in Skyrim. What have you heard? MQ201PartyGoodbyes I know just what you mean. Heard anything interesting lately? Any news or gossip? MQ201PartyGoodbyes I heard Elenwen say she's going open a bottle of her best Firebrand Wine later. I can hardly wait. MQ201PartyGoodbyes These Stormcloaks are nothing more than an armed mob. This war won't last much longer. MQ201PartyGoodbyes I hope they'll serve the roast venison with bittergreen sauce that we had at the last party. MQ201PartyGoodbyes That was delicious. MQ201PartyGoodbyes This war has taken a toll on the merchants of Skyrim. Let's hope that it ends soon, for their sake. MQ201PartyGoodbyes I look forward to the day when this rebellion is put down, and we once again have peace. MQ201PartyGoodbyes The Gray Quarter in Windhelm is little better than a slum. It's shameful that the dark elves are made to live that way. MQ201PartyGoodbyes With the soldiers all fighting in the war, there's nobody to hunt down the bandits. Travel has become dangerous of late. MQ201PartyGoodbyes It's been a brutal winter. I can't remember the last time it was this cold, and for this long. MQ201PartyIdgrodBlockingTopic Be about your business, while I'm about mine. MQ201PartyIdgrodBlockingTopic Now here is a face I did not expect to see. Be mindful, for you walk among adders. MQ201PartyIdgrodBlockingTopic It is not eyes that reveal another's true nature. It is the heart. MQ201PartyIdgrodBlockingTopic If your eyes and your ears are open and your mind is free of judgement and expectation, you might learn much in this chamber. MQ201PartyIdgrodBlockingTopic There are words spoken, and words unspoken. Beware these Thalmor, for they are adept in both languages. MQ201PartyIdgrodPartyTopic Fair faces and fine food are well and good, but honesty is rarely so pleasing. MQ201PartyIdgrodThalmorTopic There are words spoken, and words unspoken. Beware these Thalmor, for they are adept in both languages. MQ201PartyIdgrodThalmorTopic For this reason, I avoid them when I can. MQ201PartyIgmundBlockingTopic I'm doing as you asked. This is for some good purpose, yes? MQ201PartyIgmundBlockingTopic A Jarl has many duties. Attending parties isn't the most important one, but neither is it unpleasant. MQ201PartyIgmundBlockingTopic Take advantage of the fine food and drink. Such things have been scarce since the war began. MQ201PartyIgmundBlockingTopic I came here hoping to learn that more Imperial reinforcements were on their way to Skyrim, but so far I've been disappointed. MQ201PartyIgmundBlockingTopic I admit, I've never felt entirely at ease in the Thalmor embassy. MQ201PartyIgmundPartyTopic Well enough, I suppose. MQ201PartyIgmundPartyTopic Elenwen puts a great deal of effort into these parties, and it shows. MQ201PartyIgmundPartyTopic I just wonder what her real motivations are. That woman is inscrutable. MQ201PartyIgmundThalmorTopic For now, perhaps. But I've heard disturbing rumors that they're marshalling their strength. MQ201PartyIgmundThalmorTopic I suspect the treaty that ended the war was just a tactic to buy time so the Thalmor can rebuild their armies. MQ201PartyIgmundThalmorTopic I hope I'm wrong. I'm not sure the Empire can afford another war. MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic Of course. Let me see if we have another bottle of that. MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic I'll be waiting by the door for everyone to be distracted. MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic Tss! Get out of here, I saw nothing. MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic Perhaps I should ask the Ambassador... MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic Rules, is it, Tsavani? I didn't realize that eating Moon Sugar was permitted. MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic A guest? In the kitchens? You know this is against the rules... MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic A guest, feeling ill. Leave the poor wretch be. MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic Who comes, Malborn? You know I don't like strange smells in my kitchen. MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic So far so good. Let's hope nobody saw us slip out. MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic We need to pass through the kitchen. Your gear is hidden in the larder. MQ201PartyMalbornReadyTopic Just stay close and let me do any talking, got it? Follow me. MQ201PartyMavenBlockingTopic I'm doing as you asked. Not for nothing, I hope? MQ201PartyMavenBlockingTopic I don't recall seeing you at one of these before. And I know everyone who's anyone in Skyrim. MQ201PartyMavenBlockingTopic That's General Tullius himself. He can't stand Elenwen, but she insists that he attend these parties. Just to piss him off, no doubt. MQ201PartyMavenBlockingTopic See that disgusting drunk over there? A high-ranking official in the East Empire Company, believe it or not. MQ201PartyMavenDealingsTopic Have you learned nothing about me? I have dealings with everyone. MQ201PartyMavenDealingsTopic Now, leave me. I don't want to arouse suspicion by talking to someone that clearly doesn't belong here. MQ201PartyMavenTargetsTopic Don't mention the Guild. In fact, it's better if you don't speak to me at all. This is not the place. MQ201PartyMavenThalmorTopic We have a relationship of mutual respect. MQ201PartyMavenThalmorTopic I care little about the politics and rivalries between the Thalmor and the Empire. MQ201PartyMavenThalmorTopic But I do respect power, and the Thalmor have that. They leave me alone, and I leave them alone. MQ201PartyOndolemarBlockingTopic You have asked for my help. I am providing it. MQ201PartyOndolemarBlockingTopic The degeneracy of the Empire is on display here in this room. MQ201PartyOndolemarBlockingTopic It's only a matter of time before your whole rotten Empire collapses of its own decay. No offense. MQ201PartyOndolemarBlockingTopic None of these people cares a whit about the religious aspects of this war. Another sign of the degeneracy of your Empire. MQ201PartyOndolemarBlockingTopic At least Ulfric's men are willing to fight for their principles, barbaric as they may be. MQ201PartyOndolemarBlockingTopic It's a necessary part of my job to mix with the upper classes of Skyrim, such as they are. MQ201PartyOndolemarEmpireTopic There is peace now, and that peace will continue for as long as it suits our needs. MQ201PartyOndolemarEmpireTopic But make no mistake, this is not a peace forged out of necessity between rival nations of equal strength. MQ201PartyOndolemarEmpireTopic It is more like the calm between storms. And the next storm, I think, will be far deadlier than the last. MQ201PartyOndolemarWorkTopic I lead the Justiciars. We are charged with enforcing the ban on Talos worship. MQ201PartyOndolemarWorkTopic Nords can be quite stubborn. They're slow to change their ways, and we find more heretics every day. MQ201PartyOndolemarWorkTopic But mark me well -- I will purge the heresy from this land as surely as the flame burns the flesh from the bone. MQ201PartyOndolomarDistractionYes Hmm. Very well. I'm putting my reputation on the line for you. MQ201PartyOndolomarDistractionYes This is neither the time nor place for such things. I'm surprised you would ask it of me. MQ201PartyOrthusBlockingTopic Go ahead and play your joke. MQ201PartyOrthusBlockingTopic Just between us, I've got more important things to do than attend these meaningless parties. MQ201PartyOrthusBlockingTopic I should be back in Windhelm. I've got work to do. MQ201PartyOrthusBlockingTopic Did you know Vittoria is the Emperor's cousin? Best stay on her good side. MQ201PartyOrthusBlockingTopic Did you know Vittoria's getting married? They say the Emperor might even come to Skyrim for the wedding! MQ201PartyOrthusBlockingTopic I'm ready for this party to be over. MQ201PartyOrthusHappyTopic Is it that obvious? I should take pains to seem more happy. I wouldn't want to upset our host. MQ201PartyOrthusHappyTopic But the truth of it is, I have a mountain of paperwork back in Windhelm and it's not getting any smaller. MQ201PartyOrthusHappyTopic I just hope this party doesn't drag on all night. MQ201PartyOrthusWhoAreYouTopic Ill luck. I'm a busy man and I don't have time for this sort of frivolity. MQ201PartyOrthusWhoAreYouTopic But at the same time, I don't dare refuse an invitation from Elenwen. MQ201PartyProventusBlockingTopic The Empire is fortunate to have the support of the Thalmor during this difficult time, don't you think? MQ201PartyProventusBlockingTopic Mark my words, the war will be over in a matter of months. Once Ulfric sees the full might of the Empire, I'm sure he'll come to his senses. MQ201PartyProventusBlockingTopic I don't understand why General Tullius hasn't been recalled. The man is clearly incompetent. I have half a mind to tell him so myself. MQ201PartyProventusBlockingTopic Trust me, there's no place better to forge relationships with the movers and shakers of Skyrim. MQ201PartyProventusFamiliarTopic Oh, hello there. I didn't expect to see you here. MQ201PartyProventusFamiliarTopic Yes, I am indeed. Elenwen always serves the best wine at her parties. The food is excellent as well. MQ201PartyProventusFamiliarTopic Though I confess, being surrounded by so many wealthy and important people makes me feel more than a little nervous. MQ201PartyProventusGatheringTopic Oh, yes! Quite! So many important people from all across Skyrim. MQ201PartyProventusJobTopic I'm the Steward of Whiterun. I serve Jarl Balgruuf in Dragonsreach. MQ201PartyProventusJobTopic Truth be told, I'd be more comfortable if I were back there. I get nervous in the company of so many worthies. MQ201PartyRazelanBlockingTopic Please. You first. I insist. MQ201PartyRazelanBlockingTopic I just need to rest a moment, right here on this lovely rock. MQ201PartyRazelanBlockingTopic Inside, my friend, inside! Where only the women and drinks are cold. MQ201PartyRazelanBlockingTopic Stand back and watch a true professional wreck a party. MQ201PartyRazelanBlockingTopic My friend! A toast to a beautiful friendship! MQ201PartyRazelanFortuneTopic I've spent most of my life as a trader. I've got a stake in several shipping ventures across Tamriel, mostly imports and exports. MQ201PartyRazelanFortuneTopic I made a lot of friends in a lot of ports, and the Thalmor approached me with a generous offer. MQ201PartyRazelanFortuneTopic I give them access to my business associates, and they keep my coffers full. MQ201PartyRazelanTrustTopic I trust them completely, because I understand them. MQ201PartyRazelanTrustTopic When the Thalmor want something, they tell you straight. In my experience, they have no interest in subtleties and innuendo. MQ201PartyRazelanTrustTopic So if one of them says they're going to do something, I believe them. When you can just take what you want, there's no need to lie. MQ201PartySiddgeirHostTopic I've known her long enough to appreciate her excellent taste in food and wine. MQ201PartySiddgeirHostTopic And also long enough to respect her importance to Skyrim. She plays a vital role in rooting out the forbidden worship of Talos. MQ201PartySiddgeirHostTopic As far as I'm concerned, those Talos-worshippers get what they deserve. All they do is cause problems for me and the other Jarls. MQ201PartySiddgeirThalmorTopic Yes, I know what you mean. Most Nords struggle to accept change. MQ201PartySiddgeirThalmorTopic Those who fought the Thalmor in the Great War still see an enemy. But that war is over, and a new day has dawned. MQ201PartySiddgeirThalmorTopic Besides, the Thalmor reward their friends richly. Anyone who doesn't take advantage of that is a stubborn fool. MQ201PartySidgeirBlockingTopic You asked for my help. Not for nothing, I hope? MQ201PartySidgeirBlockingTopic These Thalmor know how to treat a guest. MQ201PartySidgeirBlockingTopic A ruler is entitled to luxury, don't you think? The Thalmor understand that. MQ201PartySidgeirBlockingTopic Why would anyone join the Stormcloaks? They have a fraction of the Empire's wealth and power. MQ201PartySidgeirBlockingTopic If I had my way, I'd spend all my time at parties like this, and none of it dealing with the common rabble. MQ201PartyThalmorTopic I am not. I have no more taste for Thalmor wine than I do for Thalmor company. MQ201PartyThalmorTopic What is more, I'm away from the hold at a time when there are dragons and Stormcloaks on the loose. MQ201PartyThalmorTopic There's every chance I'll return to find a pile of smoking ash where Whiterun once stood. MQ201PartyTulliusAwkwardTopic That's putting it mildly. MQ201PartyTulliusAwkwardTopic The Thalmor invite me here to remind everyone that they can tell the Empire what to do. MQ201PartyTulliusAwkwardTopic I would refuse, but I don't want to jeopardize the peace between us. MQ201PartyTulliusBlockingTopic I wasn't expecting to see you here! I assume you have your reasons. Everyone does. MQ201PartyTulliusBlockingTopic Look around the room and you'll see what we're up against. Just between you and me, a lot of what Ulfric says about the Empire is true. MQ201PartyTulliusBlockingTopic I swear Elenwen holds these parties just to make the Empire look bad. Almost makes me want to join the Stormcloaks. MQ201PartyTulliusBlockingTopic The only reason I'm here is because my refusal to attend would cause a diplomatic incident. MQ201PartyTulliusBlockingTopic I need another drink. MQ201PartyTulliusBlockingTopic I don't remember seeing you at one of these before. MQ201PartyTulliusBlockingTopic Do I know you? I didn't think so. MQ201PartyTulliusHostTopic Elenwen is a formidable woman. She lacks for neither cunning nor ambition. MQ201PartyTulliusHostTopic Now that I think of it, she would have made a fine Imperial general. MQ201PartyVittoriaBlockingTopic Don't worry. I'll play my part. MQ201PartyVittoriaBlockingTopic I find these parties such a dreadful bore. MQ201PartyVittoriaBlockingTopic One thing everyone can agree on. This war is bad for business. MQ201PartyVittoriaThalmorTopic A delicate question, to be sure. I'm the Emperor's cousin, and the Empire has little love for the Thalmor. MQ201PartyVittoriaThalmorTopic On the other hand, the Thalmor have considerable funds and are looking to expand their shipping. MQ201PartyVittoriaThalmorTopic I haven't signed any deals yet, but I'm sure my cousin will want a cut if I do. What better way to soothe his wounded pride? MQ201PrisonerBlockingTopic I saw guards dragging bodies over here. Might be a way out. MQ201PrisonerBlockingTopic We've got to get out of here. MQ201PrisonerBlockingTopic You saved my life. I won't forget it. Look me up if you're ever in Riften. MQ201PrisonerBlockingTopic You didn't have to help me, so... thanks. MQ201PrisonerIntroA1 What? Who... what do you want then? MQ201PrisonerIntroA2 Fine. Whatever you want. Can't you just kill me and get it over with? MQ201PrisonerIntroA2 There's this old man. I've seen him around Riften. I don't know where he lives. I don't know his name. MQ201PrisonerIntroA2 Yes, he matches the description of this Esbern guy you're looking for. Maybe it's him. Maybe it isn't. MQ201PrisonerIntroA2 That's all I know, okay? MQ201PrisonerIntroB1 Yeah, sure, okay. MQ201PrisonerIntroB1 Come on, this way. I've seen the guards use it to get rid of bodies. It must lead somewhere. MQ201PrisonerIntroB2 Why don't you just kill me already. MQ201PrisonerIntroC1 Whatever you want. But let's go, now. MQ201PrisonerIntroC1 If you like. But we need to find a way to unlock that trap door. MQ201PrisonerIntroC2 No problem. Thanks for springing me. I owe you. Look me up in Riften if you make it out. MQ201PrisonerIntroC2 I guess you know what you're doing. I've got to find a way out of here. MQ201PrisonerIntroC3 I damn well hope so. If it helps you twist them up, I'm glad to help. MQ201PrisonerIntroC3 They're after some old guy named Esbern. Something to do with dragons, I gathered it from listening to them talk when they thought I was out. MQ201PrisonerIntroC3 I've seen a guy in Riften who they seem to think is him. MQ201PrisonerIntroC3 Not much to go on -- I don't even know where he lives, or his name. But they seemed pretty excited about it. MQ201PrisonerIntroC3 That's it. Now, let's get out of here. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Hey, haven't I seen you around the Flagon? I never expected to see another Guild brother down here. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 They grabbed me in the Ratway. The nerve of these bastards... they need to be taught a lesson. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 They grabbed me in Riften. They seem to think I know something. They just kept asking me the same damn questions. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 A hard truth, that is. Let's drink to the fallen ones. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 War may be good for business, but it's hard on families. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Ay, we can get that for ya. We just finished the timber for those catapults. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 I got a new order in for shields. I'm gonna need some hardwood planks. None of that soft pine this time. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 I'm just sayin' you should pick one to settle down with. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 It's bad enough my brother is harping on me to pick one. Don't you start too. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 You need to choose between those two boys. It ain't fair to Sven or Faendal to keep tuggin' on their heart strings like that. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Coming right up. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Certainly. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Gimme a mug of ale. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 A pint of your finest mead. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Some wine, please? MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 I'll have some mead. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Pour me an ale. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Oh, Sven. You do know how to turn a girl's head. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 With you as my muse, how could I not? MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 You play so well. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Just stay away from her, or...or else. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Ah, Camilla. Fair as the morning sun. But I ask you, how could she prefer your brooding to my romantic tunes? MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Stay away from Camilla. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Would you two shut up before Brurid hears you messing around. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 Funny coming from a woman who's breath smells like she just kissed a draugr. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 And it shows, I've seen horkers with smaller guts. MQ201PrisonerIntroC4 It's been forever since I've eaten so well. MQ201PrisonerIntroTopic I told you, I don't know anything else about it. MQ201PrisonerIntroTopic You fool, why should I share the treasure with anyone? MQ201RazelanIntro1 Ah, pardon me, friend. I didn't see you standing there. MQ201RazelanIntro1 Allow me to introduce myself: Razelan. Imports and exports, by trade. Observer of human nature, by avocation. MQ201RazelanWhatDoesFellowNeedToDo What does a fellow need to do to get a drink around here? MQ201RazelanWhoAreYouTopic You must be new around here. Bad manners to ask such a direct question, at one of Elenwen's little soirees. MQ201RazelanWhoAreYouTopic But I have nothing to hide. I'm in from the south, on business. MQ201RazelanWhoAreYouTopic And if you want to do business in Tamriel these days, well, you'd better get used to cozying up to the Thalmor. Like it or not. MQ201SolarGuardBlockingTopic Why aren't you at your post, Justiciar? MQ201SolarGuardBlockingTopic Who are you? Intruder! MQ201SolarGuardBlockingTopic What? Raise the alarm! MQ201SolarGuardBlockingTopic Raise the alarm! We've been infiltrated! MQ201SolarGuardWalkawayTopic Well? Get out of here and mind your rounds. MQ201ThalmorEmbassyTrickeryBranchTopic Why didn't you say so? Take over my post. Make sure nobody enters the Solar. MQ201ThalmorEmbassyTrickeryBranchTopic The Emissary? What's this about? MQ201ThalmorEmbassyTrickeryBranchTopic Wait... who are you? Intruder! MQ201ThalmorTrespass01 You there. I don't think I've seen you around before. MQ201ThalmorTrespass01 Haven't seen her around before. MQ201ThalmorTrespass01 Haven't seen him around before. MQ201ThalmorTrespass01 Come here. Let me see your face. MQ201ThalmorTrespass01 Seems a bit short to me. MQ201ThalmorTrespass01 Wait, is that a tail? MQ201ThalmorTrespass01 Must be new around here. MQ201VittoriaWhoAreYouTopic The East Empire Company has interests all across Tamriel, inside and outside the Empire's borders. We try not to get involved in politics. MQ201VittoriaWhoAreYouTopic However, as the head of the company it's my job to make sure we maintain good relationships with prospective partners and investors. MQ202ByrnjolfEsbernTopic Yeah. I bet I know your guy. He's hiding out in the Ratway Warrens. Paying us good coin for nobody to know about it. MQ202ByrnjolfEsbernTopic Looking for the blade? You aren't the first! MQ202ByrnjolfEsbernTopic You won't take my eye, man-thing! MQ202ByrnjolfEsbernTopic You're after that damn hilt? Go ahead, try and take it! MQ202DirgeRevealEsbernsHideout He lives somewhere in the Ratway Warrens. Must be crazy or desperate to live down there. Maybe both. MQ202EsbernAlduinHasReturned Alduin has returned, just like the prophecy said! MQ202EsbernAlduinHasReturned The Dragon from the dawn of time, who devours the souls of the dead! MQ202EsbernAlduinHasReturned No one can escape his hunger, here or in the afterlife! Alduin will devour all things and the world will end. Nothing can stop him! MQ202EsbernHaventYouFiguredItOutYet Haven't you figured it out yet? What more needs to happen before you all wake up and see what's going on? MQ202EsbernKnowButRefuseToUnderstand Yes! Yes! You see, you know but you refuse to understand! MQ202EsbernMustFindRemansWall The Blades knew, once upon a time. Alduin's Wall is the key. Yes, yes! MQ202EsbernMustFindRemansWall Don't move. Don't move. I have it here, somewhere... never thought it would be any use, but now... MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Is there a reason you're asking me? MQ202EsbernOutroA1 No, I certainly didn't! MQ202EsbernOutroA1 I say, you didn't hear any loud noises last night, did you? No, ahh... explosion sounds? MQ202EsbernOutroA1 I see. Well, let me know if things get out of hand. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Are you referring to your other customers? No, everything is quite all right. I expect a bit of animosity now and then. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 And there haven't been any... problems? MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Oh yes, quite fine. My accommodations here continue to be just what I need. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Is everything well, Nelacar? MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Ha! Drink ain't gonna kill me. Not today, anyway. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Why? Because I'd rather be here trying to keep my only brother from drinking himself to death. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Why don't you go... sell something. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Can't. Got at least two rounds to go. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Please, come home. Just... Just come home. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Oh, I'm sorry. Am I bothering you? Am I making your life more difficult? MQ202EsbernOutroA1 If I wanted to get yelled at, I'd be home. Can't you leave me be? MQ202EsbernOutroA1 How much of our money have you spent today, Ranmir? Anything left, or is it all gone? MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Well, isn't this a surprise! MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Well, then he's welcome to eat and drink at home, isn't he? MQ202EsbernOutroA1 I believe he was suggesting their presence causes him harm. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 What of it? It's our Inn, and they cause him no harm. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 I understand Korir's been complaining about our customers again. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 All right, all right. I'll speak to her. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 I'm not "fretting." I don't want Eirid playing those sorts of games! MQ202EsbernOutroA1 It's just children playing, Haran. I wouldn't fret over it. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 I understand Eirid's been playing "Hunt the Elf" again. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 That's because you always lose... Elf. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 I hate this game. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Ha! Found you! MQ202EsbernOutroA1 I'm gonna find you, Elf! MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Yes, yes, so you said. But so what? The end is upon us. I may as well die here as anywhere else. I'm tired of running. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 Oh, certainly I hope not! That would be quite unfortunate for my research. MQ202EsbernOutroA1 I... see. And is this something I'll need to worry about in the future? MQ202EsbernOutroA1 No, certainly not. A small experiment may have gone awry, but clearly with no discernable consequences. MQ202EsbernOutroB1 Important? Far more than even she realizes! If you are Dragonborn, then... MQ202EsbernOutroB2 Then... there is hope after all. For so long, all I could do was watch our doom approach, helplessly. MQ202EsbernOutroD1 Dragons, pah. They can be killed. The Blades killed many in their early days as dragon-slayers. MQ202EsbernOutroD1 No, the dragons are merely the final portent of the End of Days. MQ202EsbernOutroD2 Oh, yes! The prophecies make clear the signs that will precede the end times. One by one, I have seen them fulfilled. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveA1 I tried to tell them. They wouldn't listen. Fools. It's all come true... all I could do was watch our doom approach... MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveB2 Oh, yes. It's all been foretold. The end has begun. Alduin has returned. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveB2 Only a Dragonborn can stop him. But no Dragonborn has been known for centuries. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveB2 It seems that the gods have grown tired of us. They've left us to our fate, as the plaything of Alduin the World-Eater. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 We'll stick around here for a while and see if we can find anything else useful. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 The crown must be around here somewhere. Spread out, and keep your eyes open. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Too bad we can't read these carvings. Who knows what secrets we'd uncover? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Oh... I've heard of this. They say these walls show the history of the ancients who built this place. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Let's hope that's the last of them. Come on, let's see what's down this way. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Steady now! They may be uglier than Imperials but they'll go down just the same. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 That's done it! Alright, boys, let's get moving. We've got more... MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 How's it going, Unblooded? You find anything yet? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Keep looking, Unblooded. There's got to be some way to get that thing open. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 You see a lever anywhere? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Unblooded, do what you do best. See if you can find some way to get that gate open. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Come on, boys. Let's spread out and see what we've got. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Alright everyone! Keep your guard up. No telling what we'll find down here. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Good job! MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Is there anything on the claw that might show how to open this door? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Looks like the door will open if we turn these rings the right way. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 I wouldn't do that again unless you know for sure it's going to open. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Look out! MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Hmm... that looks like some kind of claw from a statue. I wonder what it's used for. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 See what you can figure out, Unblooded. I'm going to check out these carvings over here. Let me know if you find something. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Even if one of these pictures tells us where the Crown is, I'm betting we're going to have to find a way through that door. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Hmm, looks like this is as far as the Imperials got. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 One thing at a time. We're here for the Crown. Any of these carvings show a crown? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Ah! The Hall of Stories... we must be getting close now. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Draugr. Ain't you ever seen one before? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 What in the nine holds is that? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Now let's keep moving. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Steady. A few dusty bonewalkers aren't going to stop us anymore than the Imperials could. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Don't give them a chance to warn the others! MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Careful, boys. There's bound to be more up ahead. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Maybe they're so scared of you they ran away. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 I don't like it. What are they waiting for? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 No, but I know they're out there. No other way they can come. Now shut up or you'll blow our ambush. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 There may be some way to get through on the level above. Hurry! MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Maybe you can find a way through somewhere above us. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 You have your orders. Get moving. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 You there, Unblooded, see if you can find another way through. We'll charge in to help as soon as we hear fighting. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Not so sure? Oh, then perhaps we should take a moment to look around a little, eh? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 You sure about that? Then please, be my guest and go strolling on in there. We'll stay here and watch your back... MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 But there isn't any other way through. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 I don't like the look of this. Perfect spot for an ambush. Ten to one they're just waiting for us on the other side. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 For Skyrim! MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Time to show what you're really made of. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveDragonbornA1 Pick a man and put him down. We attack on my signal. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveEndA1 We must go, quickly now. Take me to Delphine. We have much to discuss. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveEndTopic You're right, I forget myself. I've lived without hope for so long... MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveEndTopic The prophecies are clear. Only the Dragonborn can stop Alduin. MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveEndTopic What? You're... can it really be true? Dragonborn? MQ202EsbernOutroExclusiveEndTopic Then... there is hope! The gods have not abandoned us! We must... we must... MQ202EsbernOutroTopic I know, I know. I'm hurrying. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Yes, I'll be ready in a moment, I just need one more thing... MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Fine! I'll just... leave the rest of it. Let's go, then, if you're in such a hurry. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Come in, come in. Mustn't speak of these things in the Ratway. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic You... Dragonborn? Is it really true? MQ202EsbernOutroTopic So Delphine keeps up the fight, after all these years. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic I thought she'd have realized it's hopeless by now. I tried to tell her, years ago... MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Fine. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Too bad. That's what we're playing, and you're the Elf. Now go hide so I can hunt you! MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Why do I always have to be the Elf? I don't want to! MQ202EsbernOutroTopic We're playing Hunt the Elf. You're the Elf. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Good morning, Assur. What do you want to do today? MQ202EsbernOutroTopic It's not my place to get involved in their family's business, remember? You're the one that told me to stay out of it. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Are you so sure of that? I think Birna might disagree with you. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic As long as he keeps paying, I suppose. He keeps to himself, and isn't hurting anyone. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic How long are we going to let Ranmir drink himself into a stupor? When will enough be enough? MQ202EsbernOutroTopic I suppose that's a benefit to having so few customers. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Let's just keep an eye on the supply. It's such a chore to restock. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic No. Even Ranmir can only drink so much. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic No, without Ranmir around we're running out of stock far less often than we used to. MQ202EsbernOutroTopic Are we running low on mead? MQ202EsbernOutroTopic But, give me... just a moment... I must gather a few things... MQ202EsbernThroughDoorA1 What?! No, that's not me. I'm not Esbern. I don't know what you're talking about. MQ202EsbernThroughDoorB1 Delphine? How do you... so you've finally found her, and she led you to me. And here I am, caught like a rat in a trap. MQ202EsbernThroughDoorB2 Oh, how reassuring! Most likely you're with the Thalmor and this is just a trick to get me to open the door! MQ202EsbernThroughDoorC1 And no doubt you're one of them. Leave me alone! MQ202EsbernThroughDoorC2 What's that you said? Dragonborn? Then... there really is hope after all? MQ202EsbernThroughDoorC2 You'd better come inside. Quickly now. Thalmor agents have been seen in the Ratway. MQ202EsbernThroughDoorC3 Ah. Indeed, indeed. I do remember. MQ202EsbernThroughDoorC3 Delphine really is alive, then? You'd better come in then and tell me how you found me and what you want. MQ202EsbernThroughDoorC4 So Delphine keeps up the fight, after all these years. MQ202EsbernThroughDoorC4 You'd better come in and tell me how you found me and what you want. MQ202EsbernThroughDoorC4 Delphine? How do you ... ? This is just a trick to get me to open the door, eh? I told you to go away! MQ202EsbernThroughDoorTopic Go away! MQ202EsbernThroughDoorTopic I told you to go away. I'm not opening this door for anybody! MQ202FoundEsbernTopic So what are you doing here? Lorkhan's eyes, you can't let the Thalmor get to him first! Get back to Riften! MQ202FoundEsbernTopic Did you tell him you were Dragonborn? I didn't think so. MQ202FoundEsbernTopic Lorkhan's eyes, do I have to do everything myself? Get back to Riften before the Thalmor find him! MQ202GissurEnterCombatFemale That's her! That's who was asking about Esbern! Kill her! MQ202GissurEnterCombatMale That's him! That's who was asking about Esbern! Kill him! MQ202RatwayEsbernBribe Well... when you put it that way, I think I do know the old guy you're talking about. MQ202RatwayEsbernBribe Big talk for someone with a light purse. MQ202RatwayEsbernBribe You know what? I think I do know the guy you're talking about. MQ202RatwayEsbernBribe Maybe it would. If you had it. MQ202RatwayEsbernIntimidate There's no need for that. Not like he's a friend of mine or anything. Just calm down. MQ202RatwayEsbernIntimidate You've got a lot of nerve. But not a lot of common sense. MQ202RatwayEsbernIntimidate Easy there. I don't want that kind of trouble. Guy ain't worth it. MQ202RatwayEsbernIntimidate Yeah. That's what it's going to take. MQ202RatwayEsbernPersuade Maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age, but I actually believe you. MQ202RatwayEsbernPersuade That's a touching story. Now get outta my face. MQ202RatwayEsbernPersuade A friend, huh? Well... then it's probably okay if I tell you. MQ202RatwayEsbernPersuade I guess you don't hear too well. I never heard of this "friend" of yours. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic Don't know his name, but there is a guy like that hiding out down here. Paid plenty for nobody to know about it. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic You're not the first person to come in here asking about him, either, so be careful. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic Yeah, I think I know who you mean. He's paid good money for nobody to know he's down here, but I guess I can tell you. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic Down in the Ratway Warrens. Nice place, if you don't mind the stench, rats, and assorted lowlifes as neighbors. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic That's interesting. Why do I care? You want a drink, or maybe just a few broken bones? MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic Never heard of anybody like that. But if you want to hide out in Riften, the Ratway's where you'd be. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic There's a sort of tavern down there, the Ragged Flagon. Where all the lowlifes in Riften get drunk and knife each other. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic You might try there, if you can get through the Ratway alive. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic Lot of people looking for him. Don't know his name, but he's paid good money for nobody to know he's down here. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic Well... there is guy like that. He's paid good money for nobody to know he's down here, but I guess I can tell you. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic He's holed up in the Ratway Warrens. Be careful. You're not the only one looking for him. MQ202RatwayEsbernTopic Huh. Lot of old guys around. I don't really know how I can help. MQ202ShavariEnterCombat And now you pay for meddling in the Thalmor's affairs. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Pff. Go away, if you know what's good for you. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic I got nothing to say to you. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic I'm not looking for a conversation. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Leave me alone. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Don't break anything with that weapon, okay? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You break it, you buy it. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Please... don't break my wares! MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic If that weapon breaks anything, you will be buying it. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic This is a proper store. Start acting like a proper customer. Sheathe that weapon. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Don't start swinging that thing in here. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic If that weapon breaks anything of mine, I'll break something of yours. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Put that thing away, or get out. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You should probably put that away before you knock something over. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Break my stuff with that weapon, and I'll break you. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Watch it with that thing! MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Fine weapon, but you wouldn't mind putting it away, I'm sure. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Look. You're making my customers nervous. Put the weapon away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You. Weapon. Put it away. Now. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Don't start swinging that thing in here. You break it, you buy it. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Brandishing your weapon is not going to help you negotiate a better sale... MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You're disturbing my other customers. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic That weapon breaks my wares, we're gonna have us a real problem... MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You won't be intimidating me into lower prices. Put that thing away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Walking around with your weapon out is bound to make people nervous. We understand each other? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic If that weapon causes problems for my customers, I cause problems for you. Got it? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Unless you're here to sell that weapon of yours, why don't you put it away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Come on. Put the weapon away. You're making people nervous. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic If you cause problems, I'll have to ask you to leave. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You're making my patrons nervous. Put the weapon away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Put that thing away before someone gets hurt! MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Now, now... no need for weapons. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Nice weapon you have there. But I don't suppose you'd consider putting it away? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic What's this? Is it spoiling for a fight? If not, it should hide its weapon away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You want to fight? That why you have your weapon out? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Wow. Nice weapon! Can I hold it? I promise not to break anything. Honest! MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Put your weapon away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You're not planning on hurting anyone with that weapon there, are you? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic So... carrying that weapon around like that makes you feel safe, does it? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Uh. Hey. That weapon there is just for show. Right? I mean, you aren't going to hurt me or anything... right? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic In some parts of the world, wielding a weapon openly like that is an invitation to combat... MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Ooh, real tough, wagging your weapon around... MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic I suggest you put away your weapon. Wouldn't want to cause a... scene. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You're not planning on using that weapon in here, I hope. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic That's mighty bold, strutting about like that, looking for a fight. This one will oblige if he must. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Oh ho! What's with the weapon? Looks like it's about to get rough in here. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Damn fool parading around with your weapon out. You planning on hurting someone, huh? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You're making people a bit nervous. Should consider putting that weapon away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Ever see someone killed with their own weapon? Would you like to? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Walk into the the wrong place with your weapon drawn? You might not walk out again.... MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic It's probably best if you put that weapon away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Nice weapon you got there. Care to put it away? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Put that thing away. You're making people nervous. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic We've all seen your little weapon. We're impressed. Now, please put it away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic It's time to put the weapon away now. Thank you. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic It is making patrons nervous. It needs to put the weapon away, now. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You. Weapon. Away. Now! MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You can bring weapons in, but you can't use 'em in here. Got it? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic If it's not too much to ask, put the weapon away? Thanks. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic I trust I won't have to, but I'll bust your head in if you cause problems for my patrons. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic While a good fight is always entertaining, my patrons don't like blood in their food. Put the weapon away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic If you don't mind, my patrons would appreciate it if you put the weapon away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Why the drawn weapon? Is it contemplating violence? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Neat weapon. You're not going to hurt anybody, though. Right? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic I trust you'll put your weapon away? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You planning on using that weapon? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Civilized people don't brandish their weapons unless they plan to use them. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Umm... you're not planning on using that weapon, are you? At least not on me... right? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You'd better know how to use that weapon if you plan on swinging it around in here. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Perhaps you'd care to put your weapon away? Hmm? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic There a reason you're walking around with an unsheathed weapon? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic This one wonders why you brandish your weapon so? MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Might want to put it away that weapon... unless you plan on using it. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You got no respect, strutting about with that weapon out, threatening everyone. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic Dear. You should put that weapon away. MQ202ThalmorAgentBlockingTopic You got guts walking around with that weapon out. Looking for a fight? Is that it? MQ202VekelRevealEsbernsHideout He's holed up in the Ratway Warrens. Hardly ever leaves the place - has someone bring him food and such. MQ202VekelRevealEsbernsHideout Crazy old coot, from what I've heard. For that to stand out down here, he must really be off his nut. MQ202WhosHuntingForEsbernTopic Dangerous-looking elves who didn't give their names. Draw your own conclusions. MQ202WhosHuntingForEsbernTopic Various shady types I've never seen before. I'd watch my back if I was you. MQ203DelphineAkaviriStonework This looks promising. Akaviri stonework, I think. Reminds me a bit of Cloud Ruler Temple. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Alduin isn't getting any weaker while we stand around here gawping at the architecture. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Let's pretend we haven't. What's Alduin's Wall and what does it have to do with stopping the dragons? MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Either of you? MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker You mean... you don't mean to say you haven't heard of Alduin's Wall? MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Esbern. What are you getting at? MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker A wise and foresighted policy, in the event. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Despite the far-reaching fame of Alduin's Wall at the time - one of the wonders of the ancient world - its location was lost. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Shh! MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker This is where they built Alduin's Wall, to set down in stone all their accumulated dragonlore. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker A hedge against the forgetfulness of centuries. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Do you know what he's talking about? MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker You see, right here. Sky Haven Temple, constructed around one of the main Akaviri military camps in the Reach, during their conquest of Skyrim. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Ah! Here it is. Come, let me show you. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Esbern, what... MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Give me... just a moment... MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker This changes everything, of course. There's no time to lose. We must locate... let me show you. I know I had it here, somewhere... MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Oh yes! Dragonborn! Indeed, yes. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Now then. I assume you know about... MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker This way. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Yeah, sure. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Orgnar, hold down the bar for a minute, will you? MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Well, then. You made it, safe and sound. Good. Come on, I have a place we can talk. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker It's good to see you, too, Esbern. It's been too long, old friend. Too long. MQ203DelphineAlduinNotGettingWeaker Delphine! I... it's good to see you. It's been... a long time. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic Have you ever heard of such a thing? A Shout that can knock a dragon out of the sky? MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic Have you ever heard of a Shout that can knock a dragon out of the sky? MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic Let's go see if Esbern's right about Alduin's Wall. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic After you, Dragonborn. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic I know the area of the Reach that Esbern's talking about. Near what's now known as Karthspire, in the Karth River canyon. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic We can meet you there, or all travel together, your call. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic So we're looking for a Shout, then. Damn it. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic Patience, my dear. The Akaviri were not a straightforward people. Everything is couched in allegory and mythic symbolism. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic Yes, yes. This here, coming from the mouths of the Nord heroes -- this is the Akaviri symbol for "Shout." MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic But... there's no way to know what Shout is meant. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic So, does it show how they defeated him? Isn't that why we're here? MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic "When misrule takes its place at the eight corners of the world" MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic "When the Brass Tower walks and Time is reshaped" MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic "When the thrice-blessed fail and the Red Tower trembles" MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic "When the Dragonborn Ruler loses his throne, and the White Tower falls" MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic "When the Snow Tower lies sundered, kingless, bleeding" MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic "The World-Eater wakes, and the Wheel turns upon the Last Dragonborn." MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic Look, here. In the third panel. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic The prophecy which brought the Akaviri to Tamriel in the first place, in search of the Dragonborn. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic Are you paying attention, Delphine? You might learn something of our own history. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic Alduin's defeat is the centerpiece of the Wall. MQ203DelphineBlockingTopic You see, here he is falling from the sky. The Nord Tongues -- masters of the Voice -- are arrayed against him. MQ203DelphineGettingClose I think we're getting close. Let's keep moving. MQ203DelphineGoSeeArngeir Right. Good thing they've already let you into their little cult. Not likely they'd help Esbern or me if we came calling. MQ203DelphineGoSeeArngeir We'll look around Sky Haven Temple and see what else the old Blades might have left for us. It's a better hideout than I could have hoped for. MQ203DelphineGoSeeArngeir Talos guard you. MQ203DelphineLeadOnToSkyHaven Lead on to Sky Haven Temple. MQ203DelphineLetKeepMoving Let's keep moving. MQ203DelphineLetsGetDoorOpen Let's get this door open and see what we've got. MQ203DelphineMeetNearKarthspire We'll meet up near Karthspire. MQ203DelphineRemansWallA1 I was afraid you were going to say that. MQ203DelphineRemansWallA1 I guess there's nothing for it. We'll have to ask the Greybeards for help. MQ203DelphineRemansWallA1 I hoped to avoid involving them in this, but we have no other choice. MQ203DelphineRemansWallA2 You're probably right. I was hoping to avoid having to involve them in this, but it seems we have no choice. MQ203DelphineRemansWallC1 Only if you don't know how to use it. All the great heroes have had to learn to use their power. MQ203DelphineRemansWallC1 Those that shrank from their destiny... well, you've never heard of them, have you? MQ203DelphineRemansWallC1 And there are the villains - those that misused their power. There's always a choice, and there's always a risk. MQ203DelphineRemansWallC1 But if you live in fear of what might go wrong, you'll end up doing nothing. Like the Greybeards up on their mountain. MQ203DelphineRemansWallC2 Good. The Greybeards can teach you a lot, but don't let them turn you away from your destiny. MQ203DelphineRemansWallC2 You're Dragonborn, and you're the only one who can stop Alduin. Don't forget it. MQ203EsbernAlduinsWallHowToDefeat Yes, exactly. Well, I think so. It's certainly our best hope. The ancient Blades remembered much Akaviri dragonlore that has now been forgotten. MQ203EsbernAlduinsWallWhere This is what I've been trying to explain. It's in Sky Haven Temple, an ancient Blades sanctuary, hidden deep in the crags of the Reach. MQ203EsbernAlduinsWallWhere That's where we'll find Alduin's Wall. MQ203EsbernBlockingTopic Isn't it amazing? MQ203EsbernBlockingTopic Just think. We're the first to set foot here in thousands of years. MQ203EsbernBlockingTopic I can't wait to see what's inside! MQ203EsbernBlockingTopic Patience. Give me a moment and I'll explain everything. MQ203EsbernContinue Ah. Thank you! Excellent. Now... where were we? MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Ah. Of course. Not everyone has an appreciation for the artistic wonders of the world. MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Let me see if I can find the right panel... MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Ah. Of course. Not everyone has an appreciation for the artistic wonders of the world. MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Here, the humans rebel against their dragon overlords -- the legendary Dragon War. MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Look, here is Alduin! This panel goes back to the beginning of time, when Alduin and the Dragon Cult ruled over Skyrim. MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Yes, yes. Let's see what we have... MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Esbern. We need information, not a lecture on art history. MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Shor's bones! Here it is! Alduin's Wall... so well preserved... I've never seen a finer example of early second era Akaviri sculptural relief... MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Good morning. MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Bah. What's so good about it, hmm? MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase Oh. Well. Good day. MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase (Heavy breathing - sprinting) MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase (Heavy breathing - sprinting) MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase (Heavy breathing - sprinting) MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase (Heavy breathing - sprinting) MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase (Heavy breathing - sprinting) MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase (Heavy breathing - sprinting) MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase (Heavy breathing - sprinting) MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase (Heavy breathing - sprinting) MQ203EsbernCutToTheChase (Heavy breathing - sprinting) MQ203EsbernKarthspireTopic The Akaviri blood seal can only be opened with the right kind of blood. Your blood, Dragonborn. MQ203EsbernKarthspireTopic We should be careful. There's no telling what traps and wards the ancient Blades may have set. MQ203EsbernKarthspireTopic The entrance must be past the Forsworn camp. Look for a canyon or cave entrance into the Karthspire. MQ203EsbernKarthspireTopic Ah, yes. The entrance seems to be near what's now known as the Karthspire. We'll have to see what we find when we arrive. MQ203EsbernRatwayTopic Yes, yes. We should proceed cautiously. MQ203EsbernRemansWall2 Alduin's Wall... one of the lost secrets of the Blades. Where they recorded all they knew of Alduin and his return. Part history, part prophecy. MQ203EsbernRemansWall2 Its location has been lost for centuries, but I've found it again. MQ203EsbernRemansWall2 Not lost, you see, just forgotten. The Blades archives held so many secrets... I was only able to save a few scraps... MQ203EsbernSkyHavenTemple Sky Haven Temple. An ancient Blades sanctuary, hidden deep in the crags of the Reach. That's where we'll find Alduin's Wall. MQ203FoundEsbernA1 Mara's mercy, then he's safe! Come on, we have a lot to discuss. MQ203FoundEsbernA1 What? You left him on his own? With the Thalmor after him? Go make sure he's safe and bring him here! MQ203FoundEsbernTopic Really? He's safe? Where is he? MQ203KarthspireBestWay From Riverwood? The road south through Falkreath is the most direct route. MQ203KarthspireBestWay Or you could catch the carriage from Whiterun to Markarth and then approach from the west. MQ203KarthspireBestWay Either way, the Reach is wild country these days. The Forsworn are everywhere. Best be careful. MQ203KarthspireTravelTogether Always. Let's go see if we can find this Sky Haven Temple. MQ203KarthspireTravelTogether Sky Haven Temple it is, then. I knew you'd have something for us, Esbern. MQ203KarthspireTravelTogether Well, yes, but... there's no guarantee, of course. MQ203KarthspireTravelTogether So you think that Alduin's Wall will tell us how to defeat Alduin? MQ203KarthspireTravelTogether Hmm? Oh, yes. Presumably something rather specific to dragons, or even Alduin himself. MQ203KarthspireTravelTogether You mean they used a Shout to defeat Alduin? You're sure? MQ203KarthspireWalkAway We'll meet you there. Be careful. That part of the Reach is rough country these days. MQ203MeetAtKarthspireTopic Very good. I'll trust you to get there in one piece. Don't be long. MQ203MeetAtKarthspireTopic Your call. Might be safer to travel separately - attract less attention that way. MQ203MeetAtKarthspireTopic Don't worry, I'll get Esbern there in one piece. We'll wait for you near Karthspire. Good luck. MQ204ArngeirBladesArrogance The Blades! Of course. They specialize in meddling in matters they barely understand. Their reckless arrogance knows no bounds. MQ204ArngeirBlockingTopic The Words wait. MQ204ArngeirBlockingTopic Use Clear Skies to open the way to Paarthurnax. MQ204ArngeirBlockingTopic I wonder... what effect might your spells have? MQ204ArngeirBlockingTopic Some kind of resonance... you and the wall. It must be connected to the amulet! MQ204ArngeirBlockingTopic Do you see that? MQ204ArngeirBlockingTopic Ah, excellent. Well, here's the gold the Jarl offered in exchange for taking care of the problem. MQ204ArngeirBlockingTopic Ah, excellent. Well, it's good to know that won't be a problem any longer. MQ204ArngeirDefeatAlduinTopic Perhaps not. But this Shout was used once before, was it not? And here we are again. MQ204ArngeirDefeatAlduinTopic Have you considered that Alduin was not meant to be defeated? MQ204ArngeirDefeatAlduinTopic Those who overthrew him in ancient times only postponed the day of reckoning, they did not stop it. MQ204ArngeirDefeatAlduinTopic If the world is meant to end, so be it. Let it end and be reborn. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendA1 But not Dragonrend. The knowledge of that Shout was lost in the time before history began. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendA1 Perhaps only its creators ever knew it. But I am not the one to speak of it to you. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Watch it! MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Ouch! Hey! MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Hey! MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Oh. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic What the? MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Whoops. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Mind yourself. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic What's the hurry? MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Oaf. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Woah! MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Excuse me. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Uh, sorry. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Mind the way. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendBadTopic Careful! MQ204ArngeirDragonrendEvil The Dragonrend Shout is evil. Would you cure one evil with another? MQ204ArngeirDragonrendExclusiveTopic Only Paarthurnax, the master of our order, can answer that question, if he so chooses. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendExclusiveTopic To get the answers you seek, you must travel to the top of the mountain and speak to our master, Paarthurnax. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendExclusiveTopic Okay, I think this door should lead to the main burial chamber where Vals is holed up. Let's get in there and put and end to this. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendExclusiveTopic Sigh... fine, take whatever you want, so long as you help me get rid of Vals. MQ204ArngeirDragonrendExclusiveTopic Hey! Those belong to my family! MQ204ArngeirDragonrendExclusiveTopic Careful, there's a pressure plate around here. I've triggered it before and got pelted with darts. MQ204ArngeirExclusive2Continue It is called "Dragonrend", but its Words of Power are unknown to us. MQ204ArngeirExclusive2Continue We do not regret this loss. Dragonrend holds no place within the Way of the Voice. MQ204ArngeirExclusive2EntryTopic I cannot teach you the Shout, because I do not know it. MQ204ArngeirExclusive2EntryTopic Dragonborn... wait. MQ204ArngeirExclusive2EntryTopic Arngeir. Rok los Dovahkiin, Strundu'ul. Rok fen tinvaak Paarthurnax. MQ204ArngeirExclusive2EntryTopic Arngeir. Rek los Dovahkiin, Strundu'ul. Rek fen tinvaak Paarthurnax. MQ204ArngeirExclusive2Topic No. I cannot teach it to you because I do not know it. MQ204ArngeirExclusive2Topic I will grant you my understanding of Clear Skies. This is your final gift from us, Dragonborn. Use it well. MQ204ArngeirExclusive2Topic Koor... MQ204ArngeirExclusive2Topic Vah... MQ204ArngeirExclusive2Topic Lok... MQ204ArngeirExclusiveEndTopic Only those whose Voice is strong can find the path. Come. We will teach you a Shout to open the way to Paarthurnax. MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic Forgive me. I was... intemperate. I allowed my emotions to cloud my judgment. Master Einarth reminded me of my duty. MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic The decision whether or not to help you is not mine to make. MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic I have given my answer. Go and reconsider your course. MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic So the Blades have survived yet another disaster of their own making, and continue to meddle in things they do not understand. MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic Don't say that to loud, you don't want it getting back to him. MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic Someone should let that cat lose. That'd shut him up real quick. MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic We've got him locked in there now, but he's still challenging anyone that looks crooked at him. MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic He's on one of his drunk rants again. Except this time he's challenging everyone to a duel over in the hole. MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic Why? What's he doing now? MQ204ArngeirExclusiveTopic Looks like the boss is at it again. MQ204ArngeirHateBladesTopic Not hate. Distrust and fear. The Blades have always sought to turn the Dragonborn away from the path of wisdom. MQ204ArngeirIntroA1B1 If you wish to stand alone, so be it. If you wish for our help, you'll answer my question. MQ204ArngeirIntroA1New Yes. For matters of such gravity, we need to know where you stand. Or who you stand with. MQ204ArngeirIntroA3New Alok, Vuljotnaak. Tiid boaan. MQ204ArngeirIntroA3New Alok, Nahagliiv. Tiid boaan. MQ204ArngeirIntroA3New Alok, Viinturuth. Tiid boaan. MQ204ArngeirIntroA3New Alduin, thuri! MQ204ArngeirIntroA3New Vuljotnaak! Ziil gro dovah ulse! MQ204ArngeirIntroA3New Nahagliiv! Ziil gro dovah ulse! MQ204ArngeirIntroA3New Viinturuth! Ziil gro dovah ulse! MQ204ArngeirIntroB1 They have always sought to turn the Dragonborn from the path of wisdom. MQ204ArngeirIntroB1 Have you learned nothing from us? Would you simply be a tool in the hands of the Blades, to be used for their own purposes? MQ204ArngeirIntroB3 Ah, the prophecy. Be wary of prophecy. Some are meant as a guide. Some as a warning. Are you sure you can tell one from the other? MQ204ArngeirIntroC1 What I want is irrelevant. This Shout was used once before, was it not? And here we are again. MQ204ArngeirIntroC1 Have you considered that Alduin was not meant to be defeated? MQ204ArngeirIntroC1 Those who overthrew him in ancient times only postponed the day of reckoning, they did not stop it. MQ204ArngeirIntroC1 If the world is meant to end, so be it. Let it end and be reborn. MQ204ArngeirIntroC2 No, no, of course not. Forgive me, Dragonborn. I have been intemperate with you. MQ204ArngeirIntroC2 But heed my warning - the Blades may say they serve the Dragonborn, but they do not. They never have. MQ204ArngeirIntroC3New Do not be so sure about that. Beware - the Blades may claim to serve the Dragonborn, but they do not. They never have. MQ204ArngeirIntroC3New As for me, I kept from you only what you were not yet ready to know. Are still not ready to know, as your question reveals. MQ204ArngeirIntroD1 No. Not now. Not until you return to the path of wisdom. MQ204ArngeirIntroD2 Do not confuse inaction with indifference. Often the wisest course is to wait and watch events unfold, until the time to act is clear. MQ204ArngeirIntroD2 The Blades have never followed that path, of course. MQ204ArngeirIntroD3 This is why so few follow it, and why the world is as it is. MQ204ArngeirIntroD3 Those who are ignorant find the Way of the Voice easy to ridicule. MQ204ArngeirIntroTopic Where did you learn of that? Who have you been talking to? MQ204ArngeirIntroTopic Where did you learn of a Shout used to defeat Alduin? MQ204ArngeirPaarthurnaxA1 He is our leader. He surpasses us all in his mastery of the Way of the Voice. MQ204ArngeirPaarthurnaxA2 He lives in seclusion on the very peak of the mountain. MQ204ArngeirPaarthurnaxA2 He speaks to us only rarely, and never to outsiders. Being allowed to see him is a great privilege. MQ204ArngeirPaarthurnaxA3 You weren't ready. You still aren't ready. MQ204ArngeirPaarthurnaxA3 But thanks to the Blades, you now have questions that only Paarthurnax can answer. MQ204ArngeirStopDragonsTopic That may be what you are here for, Dragonborn. MQ204ArngeirStopDragonsTopic But stopping Alduin is one thing. Helping you wipe out dragons again is quite another. MQ204ArngeirStopDragonsTopic Dragons are part of the natural order of the world. The Blades thought to change the order to suit themselves, by wiping out the dragons. MQ204ArngeirStopDragonsTopic But again, we see that the natural order will be restored, one way or another. MQ204ArngeirStopDragonsTopic Perhaps we would have dragon allies against Alduin if the ancient Blades had not acted so arrogantly. MQ204ArngeirWhyDragonrendBad It was created by those who had lived under the unimaginable cruelty of Alduin's Dragon Cult. MQ204ArngeirWhyDragonrendBad Their whole lives were consumed with hatred for dragons, and they poured all their anger and hatred into this Shout. MQ204ArngeirWhyDragonrendBad When you learn a Shout, you take it into your very being. In a sense, you become the Shout. MQ204ArngeirWhyDragonrendBad In order to learn and use this Shout, you will be taking this evil into yourself. MQ204ArngeirWhyHateBlades The Blades were born of dragon-hating crusaders. They still carry that legacy although they may not remember from whence it came. MQ204ArngeirWhyHateBlades They carried out a genocide of dragons when they first came to Tamriel, and now they will do it again, with your help. MQ204PaarB1 True. But few now remember that this was the very spot where Alduin was defeated by the ancient Tongues. MQ204PaarB1 Vahrukt unslaad... perhaps none but me now remember how he was defeated. MQ204PaarB2 This is the most sacred mountain in Skyrim. Zok revak strunmah. The great mountain of the world. MQ204PaarB2 Here the ancient Tongues, the first mortal masters of the Voice, brought Alduin to battle and defeated him. MQ204PaarB3 Drem. Patience. I am answering, in my way. MQ204PaarBladesA1 Dov wahlaan fah rel. We were made to dominate. The will to power is in our blood. You feel it in yourself, do you not? MQ204PaarBladesA1 I can be trusted. I know this. But they do not. Onikaan ni ov dovah. It is always wise to mistrust a dovah. MQ204PaarBladesA1 I have overcome my nature only through meditation and long study of the Way of the Voice. MQ204PaarBladesA1 No day goes by where I am not tempted to return to my inborn nature. Zin krif horvut se suleyk. MQ204PaarBladesA1 What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? MQ204PaarBladesTopic The Blades are wise not to trust me. Onikaan ni ov. I would not trust another dovah. MQ204PaarBladesTopic Steady now. The Legion has faced down worse than a few dusty old bonewalkers. MQ204PaarBladesTopic We're not leaving here until we get what we came for. MQ204PaarBladesTopic Is this what killed that Stormcloak over there? Can't be. It looks like it's been dead for a hundred years. MQ204PaarBladesTopic What in the nine holds is that? MQ204PaarBladesTopic Be careful men. There's bound to be more up ahead. MQ204PaarBladesTopic Don't give them a chance to warn the others! MQ204PaarC1 Yes and no. Viik nuz ni kron. Alduin was not truly defeated, either. If he was, you would not be here today, seeking to... defeat him. MQ204PaarC1 The Nords of those days used the Dragonrend Shout to cripple Alduin. But this was not enough. Ok mulaag unslaad. MQ204PaarC1 It was the Kel - the Elder Scroll. They used it to... cast him adrift on the currents of Time. MQ204PaarC1A1 Hmm. How to explain in your tongue? The dov have words for such things that joorre do not. MQ204PaarC1A1 It is an... artifact from outside time. It does not exist, but it has always existed. Rah wahlaan. They are...hmm... fragments of creation. MQ204PaarC1A1 The Kelle... Elder Scrolls, as you name them, they have often been used for prophecy. Yes, your prophecy comes from an Elder Scroll. MQ204PaarC1A1 But this is only a small part of their power. Zofaas suleyk. MQ204PaarD1 Tiid krent. Time was... shattered here because of what the ancient Nords did to Alduin. MQ204PaarD1 If you brought that Kel, that Elder Scroll back here... to the Tiid-Ahraan, the Time-Wound... MQ204PaarD1 With the Elder Scroll that was used to break Time, you may be able to... cast yourself back. To the other end of the break. MQ204PaarD1 You could learn Dragonrend from those who created it. MQ204PaarDragonrend3A Drem. All in good time. First, a question for you. Why do you want to learn this Thu'um? MQ204PaarDragonrend3A1 Nid. If you wish me to answer your question, you must answer mine. MQ204PaarDragonrend3A2 Yes. Alduin... zeymah. The elder brother. Gifted, grasping and troublesome as is so often the case with firstborn. MQ204PaarDragonrend3A2 But why? Why must you stop Alduin? MQ204PaarDragonrend3A3 Pruzah. As good a reason as any. There are many who feel as you do, although not all. MQ204PaarDragonrend3A3 Some would say that all things must end, so that the next can come to pass. MQ204PaarDragonrend3A3 Perhaps this world is simply the Egg of the next kalpa? Lein vokiin? Would you stop the next world from being born? MQ204PaarDragonrend3A3A1 Paaz. A fair answer. MQ204PaarDragonrend3A3A1 Ro fus... maybe you only balance the forces that work to quicken the end of this world. MQ204PaarDragonrend3A3A1 Even we who ride the currents of Time cannot see past Time's end. Wuldsetiid los tahrodiis. MQ204PaarDragonrend3A3A1 Those who try to hasten the end, may delay it. Those who work to delay the end, may bring it closer. MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1 True... But qostiid - prophecy - tells what may be, not what should be. MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1 Qostiid sahlo aak. Just because you can do a thing, does not always mean you should. MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1 Do you have no better reason for acting than destiny? Are you nothing but a plaything of dez... of fate? MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1A1 If you can see your destiny clearly, your sight is clearer than mine. MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1A1 Dahmaan - remember, Alduin also follows his destiny, as he sees it. MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1A1 But, I bow before your certainty. In a way I envy you. The curse of much knowledge is often indecision. MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1A2 And so, perhaps, your destiny will be fulfilled. Who can say? MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1A2 Dez motmahus. Even to the dov, who ride the currents of Time, destiny is elusive. MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1A2 Alduin believes that he will prevail, with good reason. Rok mul. MQ204PaarDragonrend3B1A2 And he is no fool. Ni mey, rinik gut nol. Far from it. He began as the wisest and most far-seeing of us all. MQ204PaarDragonrend3C1 Hahaha! You have much to learn of the dov, then. MQ204PaarDragonrend3C1 There is nothing else but philosophy to a dovah. It is no accident that we do battle with our Thu'um, our Voices. MQ204PaarDragonrend3C1 There is no distinction between debate and combat to a dragon. Tinvaak los grah. For us it is one and the same. MQ204PaarDragonrend3D1 But you have indulged my weakness for speech long enough. Krosis. Now I will answer your question. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Intro1 Krosis. Sorrowfully, no. It cannot be known to me. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Intro2 Hmm. Yes. They are very protective of me. Bahlaan fahdonne. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Intro2 But I do not know the Thu'um you seek. Krosis. It cannot be known to me. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Intro3 Alduin komeyt tiid. What else would you seek? Alduin and Dovahkiin return together. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Intro3 But, I do not know the Thu'um you seek. Krosis. It cannot be known to me. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Do you know why I live here, at the peak of the Monahven - what you name Throat of the World? MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic You have not answered my question. Why do you need to learn this Thu'um? MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Ah. I have expected you. Prodah. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic You would not come all this way for tinvaak with an old dovah. No. You seek your weapon against Alduin. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic By long tradition, the elder speaks first. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Aaah... yes! Sossedov los mul. The dragonblood runs strong in you. It is long since I had the pleasure of speech with one of my own kind. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Now, show me what you can do. Greet me not as mortal, but as dovah! MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Now, show me what you can do. Greet me not as elf, but as dovah! MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Now, show me what you can do. Greet me not as orc, but as dovah! MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Now, show me what you can do. Greet me not as khajiit, but as dovah! MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Now, show me what you can do. Greet me not as Argonian, but as dovah! MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Come, Dovahkiin. Nin Yol. Strike me with the fire of your Thu'um. MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Why do you delay? Are you Dovahkiin or not? MQ204PaarDragonrend3Topic Do not be afraid. Faasnu. Let me feel the power of your Thu'um. MQ204PaarElderScrollTopic Vomindok. I do not know. Perhaps in the very doing they erased the knowing of it from Time itself. MQ204PaarElderScrollTopic The dov are children of Akatosh. Thus we are specially... attuned to the flow of Time. Perhaps also uniquely vulnerable. MQ204PaarElderScrollTopic I warned them against such a rash action. Even I could not foresee its consequences. Nust ni hon. They would not listen. MQ204PaarElderScrollTopicA1 Yes. There were a few of us that rebelled against Alduin's thur... his tyranny. We aided the humans in his overthrow. MQ204PaarElderScrollTopicA1 But they did not trust us. Ni ov. Their inner councils were kept hidden from us. MQ204PaarElderScrollTopicA1 I was far from here on the day of Alduin's downfall. But all dov felt the... sundering of Time itself. MQ204PaarFindElderScrollTopic Krosis. No. I know little of what has passed below in the long years I have lived here. MQ204PaarFindElderScrollTopic You are likely better informed than I. MQ204PaarIntroA1 I am as my father Akatosh made me. As are you... Dovahkiin. MQ204PaarIntroA2 They see me as master. Wuth. Onik. Old and wise. It is true I am old... MQ204PaarIntroA3 Yes. Vahzah. You speak true, Dovahkiin. Forgive me. MQ204PaarIntroA3 It has been long since I held tinvaak with a stranger. I gave in to the temptation to prolong our speech. MQ204PaarIntroA3A1 Evenaar bahlok. There are many hungers it is better to deny than to feed. MQ204PaarIntroA3A1 Dreh ni nahkip. Discipline against the lesser aids in qahnaar... denial of the greater. MQ204PaarIntroB1 Drem. Patience. There are formalities which must be observed, at the first meeting of two of the dov. MQ204PaarIntroTopic So. You have made your way here, to me. No easy task for a joor... mortal. Even for one of Dovah Sos. Dragonblood. MQ204PaarIntroTopic What would you ask of me? MQ204PaarIntroTopic Not until introductions are complete. Zin. Heyv. Test your Thu'um against mine, Dovahkiin! MQ204PaarIntroTopic Drem Yol Lok. Greetings, wunduniik. I am Paarthurnax. MQ204PaarIntroTopic Who are you? What brings you to my strunmah... my mountain? MQ204PaarIntroTopic You are bold, wunduniik. You dare enter a Dovah's home without permission. MQ204PaarIntroTopic Keep moving, stay focused on your goal, and you will reach the summit. MQ204PaarthurnaxDontKnowDragonrend Your kind - joorre - mortals - created it as a weapon against the dov... the dragons. MQ204PaarthurnaxDontKnowDragonrend Our hadrimme, our minds cannot even... comprehend its concepts. MQ204PaarthurnaxTrustYourInstincts Trust your instincts, Dovahkiin. Your blood will show you the way. MQ204PaarWhyIntrude Tell me. Why do you come here, volaan? Why do you intrude on my meditation? MQ205ArngeirIntroA1 So be it. If he believes it is necessary for you to learn this... we will bow to his wisdom. MQ205ArngeirIntroB1 We have never concerned ourselves with the Scrolls. The gods themselves would rightly fear to tamper with such things. MQ205ArngeirIntroB1 As for where to find it... such blasphemies have always been the stock in trade of the mages of Winterhold. MQ205ArngeirIntroB1 They may be able to tell you something about the Elder Scroll you seek. MQ205ArngeirIntroTopic So... you spoke to Paarthurnax. The dragonblood burns bright within you. MQ205ArngeirIntroTopic Did he tell you what you wanted to know? Did he teach you the Dragonrend Shout? MQ205DelphineIntroA1 An Elder Scroll? That's not going to be easy to come by. MQ205DelphineIntroA1 Esbern's your man for that kind of thing. He may be able to at least point you in the right direction. MQ205DelphineIntroTopic Were the Greybeards any help? Did they know this anything about the Shout used against Alduin? MQ205ElderScrollTopic Ask Esbern. If he doesn't know himself, he'll know where to find it out. MQ205ElderScrollTopic Such blasphemies are the calling of mages, not followers of the Way. MQ205ElderScrollTopic Take your question to the College of Winterhold. They may be able to help you. MQ205ElderScrollTopic They die too quickly. Maybe I'll try and hold off on the paralysis next time. Give me more of a moving target. Good practice. MQ205ElderScrollTopic Ah, the sweet smell of burnt flesh. Nothing better really. MQ205ElderScrollTopic You better quiet down before you end up there. Then I'd have to work the forge. MQ205ElderScrollTopic I work the forge. MQ205ElderScrollTopic Yeah, I don't know how I feel about what goes on down there. MQ205ElderScrollTopic You work the forge. MQ205ElderScrollTopic I bet Naris gets a kick out it. Nasty fella he is. MQ205ElderScrollTopic I swear they're making me do this for a laugh. At least I'm not dealing with the prisoners down below. MQ205ElderScrollTopic Why do they need me to do this? We use magic, not weapons. MQ205ElderScrollTopic They drink all day and night and what do I do? MQ205ElderScrollTopic Our vengeance will come. MQ205ElderScrollTopic Remember. It was the Nords who locked you up. MQ205ElderScrollTopic Our struggle is our people's struggle. MQ205ElderScrollTopic Go on in, already. MQ205ElderScrollTopic You're a slave. Just like us. MQ205ElderScrollTopic Do you remember the sun? Because you'll forget. Soon. MQ205ElderScrollTopic You're back. Have you done what I asked? MQ205EsbernIntroA1 Ah, indeed? There's a pretty puzzle. Not the kind of thing you'll find in your local bookshop. Let me think... MQ205EsbernIntroA1 Perhaps the College of Winterhold. What learning there is in Skyrim is gathered there. MQ205EsbernIntroA1 One of the mages there may be able to put you on the trail of this Elder Scroll. MQ205EsbernIntroA1 Ah, indeed. Well there's a pretty puzzle. Not the kind of thing you'll find in your local bookshop. I'm sure you'll manage, though. MQ205EsbernIntroB1 Fascinating! So the ancients were more daring... or foolhardy... similar to the Dragon Break itself, although less far-reaching... MQ205EsbernIntroB1 This Elder Scroll might be able to show you the past in some way, then... yes, yes, it could work. MQ205EsbernIntroB2 Paarthurnax? That name is familiar... the legendary leader of the Greybeards? MQ205EsbernIntroB2 I would not have expected a scholar of such an esoteric turn of mind among their ranks. MQ205EsbernIntroB3 Hmm. Well, if that's what the Greybeards told you, I confess I don't have a better plan. MQ205EsbernIntroB3 So little is known about the Elder Scrolls, almost anything is possible where they're concerned. Artifacts of truly inconceivable power. MQ205EsbernIntroTopic Ah, you're back. I hope you've made some progress on tracking down this Shout we need to defeat Alduin? MQ205EsbernWhereToFindElderScroll Do you know the College of Winterhold? They have a deep interest in such arcana. MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic You have it. The Kel - the Elder Scroll. Tiid kreh... qalos. Time shudders at its touch. MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic There is no question. You are doom-driven. Kogaan Akatosh. The very bones of the earth are at your disposal. MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Go then. Fulfill your destiny. Take the Scroll to the Time-Wound. MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Do not delay. Alduin will be coming. He cannot miss the signs. MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Do not delay. Alduin must feel the tremors in Time by the Scroll's presence here. He will know what it means. MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Use Dragonrend! It is the only chance to defeat him! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic He is too strong on the wing! Bring him to gol with Dragonrend! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Use Dragonrend, Dovahkiin! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Dovahkiin, vosaraan! Use Dragonrend before Alduin consumes you! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Now, Dovahkiin! Now he is vulnerable! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic This is your chance, Dovahkiin! Strike with all your force! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Hurt him while he is grounded! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Use Dragonrend! It is the only chance to defeat him! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic He is too strong on the wing! Bring him to gol with Dragonrend! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Use Dragonrend, Dovahkiin! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Dovahkiin, vosaraan! Use Dragonrend before Alduin consumes you! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Ruth wah nivahriin joor! MQ206PaarthurnaxBlockingTopic Aav uv dir. Join me or perish with your mortal friends. MQ301ArngeiFindAlduinB1 Do you know Dragonsreach? The Jarl of Whiterun's palace? MQ301ArngeiFindAlduinB1 Its name is no accident. The palace was originally built to hold a captive dragon. MQ301ArngeirFindAlduinA1 Yes, of course! But how to force a dragon to talk to you... MQ301ArngeirFindAlduinA1 There is one possibility. But... no, the Jarl would never agree. MQ301ArngeirFindAlduinC1 Oh, this was back in the days of Olaf One-Eye, thousands of years ago. MQ301ArngeirFindAlduinC1 In those days, dragons could still be found among the remote mountain peaks. MQ301ArngeirFindAlduinC1 Before the Blades wiped them all out. MQ301ArngeirFindAlduinC2 You might be able to trap him there, exactly. MQ301ArngeirFindAlduinC2 You'd require the Jarl's cooperation, of course. That might not be easy to come by. MQ301ArngeirFindAlduinC2 You must trust in the rightness of your cause, and the strength of your Voice. MQ301ArngeirHowToFindAlduin The old tales say that he is able to travel into Sovngarde to devour the souls of the dead. MQ301ArngeirHowToFindAlduin But they don't say how he does this. MQ301ArngeirIntroA1 I feared as much. I thought it was him we saw flying east after your battle. MQ301ArngeirIntroB1 We are not warriors. What is overlooked in the Dragonborn is not permitted to any other followers of the Way of the Voice. MQ301ArngeirIntroB1 Ah! Dragonsreach! There are many difficulties, but I cannot think of a better plan. MQ301ArngeirIntroB1 Although I fear the Jarl may not be easy to persuade. MQ301ArngeirIntroB1 Remember, the Way of the Voice trains you for more than battle. Indeed, we believe that battle is the least of its uses. MQ301ArngeirIntroB1 May the strength and truth of your Voice serve you well. Breath and focus. MQ301ArngeirIntroTopic Alduin... we heard the Dragonrend Shout from here... you defeated him? MQ301ArngeirMisunderstandOurAuthority You misunderstand our authority. The Greybeards have never involved themselves in political affairs. MQ301ArngeirPeaceConferenceA1 I see. The dragon will lead you to Alduin, but without the Jarl's help... MQ301ArngeirPeaceConferenceB1 Paarthurnax has made the decision to help you. This is the road we have to walk. MQ301ArngeirPeaceConferenceB1 Even the Greybeards must bend to the winds of change, it seems. MQ301ArngeirPeaceConferenceB1 So be it. Tell Ulfric and General Tullius that the Greybeards wish to speak to them. MQ301ArngeirPeaceConferenceB1 We will see if they still remember us. MQ301ArngeirPeaceConferenceTopic Deliver the message to the warring parties. If they will listen, I will do what I can to bring them to terms. MQ301DelphineIntroA1 Esbern should be able to help. He's spent his whole life poring over every old book he could find about dragons and that prophecy. MQ301DelphineIntroA1 He's been digging around the records the Blades left here, too. But we can talk about that later. MQ301DelphineIntroTopic What's happened? Did you find a way to learn the Dragonrend Shout? MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic Lure it into the trap! I'm counting on you! MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic Do whatever you're going to do before it kills us all! MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic My men are ready. Now it's up to you. MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic Come, my men stand ready on the great porch. MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic Let's do this. Summon this dragon of yours. MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic Get it into the trap before it kills us all! MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic Let's get this over with. MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic This was your crazy idea, huh? MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic You better know what you're doing. MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic I don't know how you talked the Jarl into this. MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic Let's get this over with. MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic This is getting ridiculous. If we can't get this open soon, the boss will have our heads. MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic Take cover! MQ301DragonAttackBlockingTopic Get back! Get back! We need to trap it, not kill it! MQ301DragonsreachTopic Yes. This was ages ago, you understand. There were more of us then. Before the bruniikke - the Akaviri - came and killed all my zeymah. MQ301DragonsreachTopic I used to visit him from time to time. Nearly crazed by loneliness and captivity. Tiiraz sivaas. He did not even remember his own name. MQ301DragonsreachTopic I do not know how he came to be caught. But the bronjun... the Jarl... was very proud of his pet. Paak! MQ301DragonsreachTopic The hofkahsejun has been known as Dragonsreach ever since. MQ301DragonsreachTopic According to legend. Although I never thought to put the tale to the test. MQ301DragonsreachTopic Jarl Olaf One-Eye it was, who later became High King. MQ301DragonsreachTopic They say he Shouted it into submission in single combat atop Mount Anthor and brought it back to Whiterun. MQ301DragonsreachTopic Numinex was the dragon's name. That's his skull decorating the main hall. MQ301EsbernCallDragonA1 Ah, don't you see? The names of dragons are always three Words of Power -- Shouts. MQ301EsbernCallDragonA1 By calling the dragon with the Voice, he will hear you wherever he might be. MQ301EsbernCallDragonB1 He's not compelled to, but dragons are prideful by nature and loath to refuse a challenge. MQ301EsbernCallDragonB1 Your Voice in particular is likely to intrigue this dragon, after your victory over Alduin. MQ301EsbernCallDragonB1 I think it very likely that he will be unable to resist investigating your call. MQ301EsbernCallDragonBlockingTopic I anticipated the problem. While you were arranging this meeting, I was busy in the library of Sky Haven Temple. MQ301EsbernCallDragonC1 Ah, indeed. I'm no master of the Voice like these worthy gentlemen, but it is written here in this scroll. MQ301EsbernCallDragonC1 Ah, indeed. I'm no master of the Voice, but it is written here in this scroll. MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic Shout for Odahviing from the Dragonsreach courtyard. After that, it's up to you. MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic Interesting problem. Hmm. Yes. I've been poring over the records here in Sky Haven Temple. MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic Just say the word, and my men will help you spring this trap. MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic By Talos, that's an excellent question. I hope you haven't forgotten that little detail? MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic Yes, I'm ready to do my part. MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic Jarl Vignar, I assume you are familiar with the Dragonborn's plan? MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic This is quite an achievement, Dragonborn. And Jarl Ulfric. Markarth is ours! MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic Giving up Riften is a heavy price to pay for this truce, Dragonborn. I hope it was worth it. MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic I admit, I really didn't expect these talks to succeed. Getting the Empire to agree to anything at all is quite an achievement. MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic Legate, with me. We have a lot of work to do. MQ301EsbernCallDragonTopic I'm sorry. Good luck. MQ301EsbernDifficultToPersuadeJarl Although... it might be difficult to persuade the Jarl to allow you to use his palace as a dragon trap... MQ301EsbernDifficultToPersuadeJarl I'm sure you'll manage, though. If you can defeat the World-Eater, surely sweet-talking the Jarl of Whiterun isn't beyond you. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinA1 Yes, yes. We must think. He must have some means of travelling to and from Sovngarde. But no tale tells where that might be. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinA1 The Jarl's palace in Whiterun? Ah, yes... the old story about King Olaf's pet dragon. Ingenious! MQ301EsbernFindAlduinA2 Very true! Hmm. I wonder... do you know the Jarl's palace in Whiterun? MQ301EsbernFindAlduinB1 Yes, exactly! Most people don't know that it was originally built to hold a captive dragon - hence its name. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinB2 Well, you see, the palace - Dragonsreach - was originally built to hold a captive dragon. Hence its name. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinBlockingTopic Did you find the Elder Scroll? What happened when you took it back to the Throat of the World? MQ301EsbernFindAlduinC1 Oh, this was thousands of years ago, before the Akaviri crusaders cleansed Skyrim of dragons. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinC1 Skyrim's mountains were still infested with dragons. One of the early Nord kings caught a dragon and kept it in Dragonsreach. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinC2 You could trap him there, exactly. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic He must have returned to Sovngarde to feed on the souls of the dead. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic If you don't find him soon, he'll return, stronger than ever! MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic I'm still amazed that your plan worked. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic You'll be the toast of Whiterun for this! MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic No one can doubt that you truly are Dragonborn. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic We're ready, Dragonborn. Just say the word. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic You're getting pretty good at this dragon-fighting business. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic I don't know how you talked the Jarl into this plan of yours. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic My job is to keep the Jarl safe, despite his best efforts. MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic I can't believe that worked! MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic Something to tell the grandkids, eh? MQ301EsbernFindAlduinTopic I can't believe I'm still alive. MQ301EsbernOdahviing Od - Ah - Viing. "Winged Snow Hunter," as I read it. MQ301EsbernTroveOfLostLore An unguessed trove of lost lore... but the important thing is that the Blades recorded many of the names of dragons they slew. MQ301EsbernTroveOfLostLore Cross-referencing this with Delphine's map of dragon burial sites, and I believe I've identified one of the dragons that Alduin has raised up. MQ301JarlAlduinReturnA1 I didn't say anything about giving up. MQ301JarlAlduinReturnA2 I don't know about such things, but I heard the Greybeards summon you. That's good enough for me. MQ301JarlAlduinReturnA3 Spoken like a true Nord. I'll stand beside you, Dragonborn. MQ301JarlAlduinReturnA3 No Nord could have said it better! I'll stand beside you, Dragonborn. MQ301JarlAlduinReturnTopic Alduin? The World-Eater himself? But... how can we fight him? Doesn't his return mean it's the end times? MQ301JarlAlduinReturnTopic How can we fight Alduin? Doesn't his return mean it's the end times? MQ301JarlArrangeTruceTopic Aye, Dragonborn. Maybe you can stop the dragons - and this war into the bargain. MQ301JarlDragonsreach1 What you're asking for is insane. Impossible! MQ301JarlDragonsreach1 You want me to let a dragon into the heart of my city, with the threat of war on my doorstep? MQ301JarlDragonsreach1NoWar What you're asking for is insane. Impossible! MQ301JarlDragonsreach1NoWar Why would I agree to let a dragon into the heart of my city, after working so hard to keep them out? MQ301JarlDragonsreachA2 Of course. You already saved Whiterun from that dragon. I owe you a great deal. MQ301JarlDragonsreachA2 But I don't understand. Why let a dragon into the heart of my city when we've been working so hard to keep them out? MQ301JarlDragonsreachA2 I'm sorry, but I can't do it. We'll just have to keep fighting the dragons as best we can. MQ301JarlDragonsreachA2 Do vah kiin! MQ301JarlDragonsreachA3 There must be another way. The risk is too great. MQ301JarlDragonsreachB1 What do you think the Imperials would be doing while this dragon is busy slaughtering my men? MQ301JarlDragonsreachB1 Do you think the Stormcloaks will sit idle while this dragon is slaughtering my men and burning down my city? MQ301JarlDragonsreachB1 Ulfric and General Tullius are both just waiting for me to make a wrong move. MQ301JarlDragonsreachB1 Do you think they will sit idle while a dragon is slaughtering my men and burning my city? MQ301JarlDragonsreachB2 No. I can't risk weakening the city while we are under the threat of enemy attack. I'm sorry. MQ301JarlDragonsreachC1 Then I would be glad to help you with your mad dragon-trapping scheme. MQ301JarlDragonsreachC1 But getting both sides to agree to a truce will be difficult at this point. The bitterness has gone too deep. MQ301JarlDragonsreachC1 Maybe... hmm... what of the Greybeards? They are respected by all Nords. High Hrothgar is neutral territory. MQ301JarlDragonsreachC1 If the Greybeards were willing to host a peace council... then maybe Ulfric and Tullius would have to listen. MQ301JarlDragonsreachNotYet Now that it's upon us, I'm rather looking forward to the challenge. I'll be famouser than Olaf One-Eye! MQ301JarlDragonsreachReady My men know what to do. Make sure you do your part. I'm putting my city in your hands. MQ301JarlDragonsreachTopic I must have misheard you. I thought you asked me to help you trap a dragon in my palace. MQ301JarlReadyToTrapA1 Oh... well, I'll leave that to you. I trust you know your business. MQ301JarlReadyToTrapA1 Probably for the best. It will give me time to see if that old trap still works - and break the news to the men. MQ301JarlReadyToTrapTopic Then... Whiterun will stand with you, Dragonborn. We will take the risk, and gain the glory, whether it be in victory or defeat! MQ301JarlReadyToTrapTopic So what's the plan, then? How do you intend to lure a dragon into the trap? MQ301JarlTrapDragonA1 I want to help you, Dragonborn. And I will. But I need your help first. MQ301JarlTrapDragonTopic Now, what's this nonsense about trapping a dragon in my palace? MQ301JarlWaitingForPlayerTopic As I promised, my men stand ready. The great chains are oiled. We wait on your word. MQ301JarlWaitingForPlayerTopic We'll be ready, don't worry. You do have a plan for actually luring a dragon into this trap, don't you? MQ301JarlWaitingForPlayerTopic My men will be ready when you are, Dragonborn. You have a truce to arrange first, eh? MQ301OdahviingB1 Rinik vazah. An apt phrase. Alduin bovul. One reason I came to your call was to test your Thu'um for myself. MQ301OdahviingB1 Many of us have begun to question Alduin's lordship, whether his Thu'um was truly the strongest. MQ301OdahviingB1 Among ourselves, of course. Mu ni meyye. None were yet ready to openly defy him. MQ301OdahviingB2 Mindoraan, pah ok middovahhe lahvraan til. I surely do not need to warn you that all his remaining strength is marshalled there. MQ301OdahviingB2 Zu'u lost ofan hin laan... now that I have answered your question, you will allow me to go free? MQ301OdahviingB2 Unslaad krosis. Innumerable pardons. I digress. MQ301OdahviingB2 He has travelled to Sovngarde to regain his strength, devouring the sillesejoor... the souls of the mortal dead. A privilege he jealously guards... MQ301OdahviingB2 His door to Sovngarde is at Skuldafn, one of his ancient fanes high in the eastern mountains. MQ301OdahviingC1 Aam? Serve you? ...no. Ni tiid. If and when you defeat Alduin, I will reconsider. MQ301OdahviingC1 Hmm... krosis. There is one... detail about Skuldafn I neglected to mention. MQ301OdahviingC2 Ah. Well. Hmm... krosis. There is one... detail about Skuldafn I neglected to mention. MQ301OdahviingC2 You have done well, my Champion. You have earned my respect, a feat few manage and live to tell about it. MQ301OdahviingC2 Now go. I have strings to pull that require my full attention. You may pursue your own course wherever it leads you. MQ301OdahviingC2 Remember always this: You need answer to no authority, neither mortal, nor divine... As you will it, so it shall be. MQ301OdahviingC2 You may keep my Ebony Mail, a token of my appreciation to my new champion. Its gifts will resonate with your talents. MQ301OdahviingC2 Now go. I have strings to pull that require my full attention. You may pursue your own course wherever it leads you. MQ301OdahviingC2 Remember always this: As you will it, so it shall be. MQ301OdahviingC2 You have earned the right to call yourself my Champion. MQ301OdahviingC2 And now you must perform the task for which I created you. You have already proven to possess the needed skills. MQ301OdahviingC2 Go to Solitude. Stalk the Jarl and slay her. MQ301OdahviingC2 I have spread rumors of an assassin. It will make your job harder, but will allow me to place blame where I desire it. MQ301OdahviingC2 You will need stealth and lies to get past her guards. You will assassinate her swiftly and quietly. And if combat finds you, survive the escape. MQ301OdahviingC2 Succeed, and you may keep your title and my armor, and I shall write your name upon the Tablet of Absolute Blackness. MQ301OdahviingC2 Failure is not an option. MQ301OdahviingD1 Only this. You have the Thu'um of a dovah, but without the wings of one, you will never set foot in Skuldafn. MQ301OdahviingD1 Of course... I could fly you there. But not while imprisoned like this. MQ301OdahviingE1 Indeed. Orin brit ro. I cannot leave here until you defeat Alduin, which you cannot do without my help. MQ301OdahviingE2 Ahraan. You wound me, Dovahkiin. I may not tell the whole truth, but I am no liar. MQ301OdahviingE2 Go and see for yourself. Zu'u ni bo nol het. I will be here... unless Alduin returns before you do. MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Zu'u bonaar. You went to a great deal of trouble to put me in this... humiliating position. MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Hind siiv Alduin, hmm? No doubt you want to know where to find Alduin? MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Zok frini grind ko grah drun viiki, Dovahkiin. MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Ah. I forget. You do not have the dovah speech. MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic My... eagerness to meet you in battle was my... undoing, Dovahkiin. I salute your, hmm, low cunning in devising such a grahmindol - strategem. MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Horvutah med kodaav. Caught like a bear in a trap... MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Nid! MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic No! MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic I think it's holding! MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Got him! MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic I know I ran ahead with the claw, but I need help! MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Is... is someone coming? Is that you Harknir? Bjorn? Soling? MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic We're ready when you are. MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic You do have a plan for luring a dragon here, yeah? MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Go ahead and call this dragon of yours. We're ready. MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic What are you waiting for? Let's get this over with. MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic Just shut it and keep an eye out for trouble. MQ301OdahviingIntroTopic What if Arvel doesn't come back? I want my share from that claw! MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonA1 Ah, I forget how little you know of the dov. Our names are always made up of three Rotmulaag - Words of Power. MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonA1 You see - Paar-thur-nax - a Thu'um - a Shout, yes? MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonB1 He is not compelled to come, but the dov are prideful by nature. Few could resist such a challenge. Especially from you, Dovahkiin. MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonB1 But Odahviing, he is... headstrong? Boziik. Rash. Even among the dov, he was known for this. MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonB1 He will not resist the challenge of your Voice, Dovahkiin. He will come. MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonC1 Now - hear his name. Odahviing. Taste it on the wind. Od-ah-viing. Know it in your su'um. Od-ah-viing! MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonTopic Odahviing will come to your challenge. Boziik. Krilot. He will not be able to resist your call, from the Hill of the Dovah itself... he will come. MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonTopic Hmm, yes. I have been pondering on exactly that question. Lingrah morah. MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonTopic I have tasted the voices of Alduin's allies on the wind. Pogaan nahlaas, vokrii wah jun. MQ301PaarthurnaxCallDragonTopic There is one who I remember well. Odahviing. He is the one to tell us where Alduin has gone. MQ301PaarthurnaxIntroA1 Yes... one of his allies could tell us. Motmahus... But it will not be so easy to... convince one of them to betray him. MQ301PaarthurnaxIntroA1 Perhaps the hofkahsejun - the palace in Whiterun... Dragonsreach. It was originally built to house a captive dovah. MQ301PaarthurnaxIntroA1 A fine place to trap one of Alduin's allies, hmm? MQ301PaarthurnaxIntroA2 Ni liivrah hin moro. True, this is not the final krongrah - victory. But not even the heroes of old were able to defeat Alduin in open battle. MQ301PaarthurnaxIntroA2 Alduin always was pahlok - arrogant in his power. Uznahgar paar. He took domination as his birthright. MQ301PaarthurnaxIntroA2 This should shake the loyalty of the dov who serve him. MQ301PaarthurnaxIntroB1 Hmm, yes. But your su'um is strong. I do not doubt that you can convince him of the need. MQ301PaarthurnaxIntroTopic Lot krongrah. You truly have the Voice of a dovah. Alduin's allies will think twice after this victory. MQ302ArngeirAreWeReady Are we ready to proceed? MQ302ArngeirCanWeProceed Now that that's settled, may we proceed? MQ302ArngeirHowToLureDragon But the difficulty remains - how to lure a dragon to Dragonsreach at all? MQ302ArngeirIntroA1 I should not have agreed to host this council. The Greybeards have no business involving ourselves in such matters. MQ302ArngeirIntroB1 Peace? I doubt it. They may put their weapons down for a moment, but only to gather strength for the next bloodletting. MQ302ArngeirIntroB1 They are not yet tired of war. Far from it. Do you know the ancient Nord word for war? "Season unending"... so it has proved. MQ302ArngeirIntroB2 Yes, yes. Which is why I allowed this... violation of all our traditions. MQ302ArngeirIntroC1 But regrets are pointless. Here we are. MQ302ArngeirIntroC1 Take your seat at the council table and let us see what wisdom we can find among these warriors of Skyrim. MQ302ArngeirIntroTopic So, you've done it. The men of violence are gathered here, in these halls whose very stones are dedicated to peace. MQ302ArngeirIntroTopic Don't fall behind! MQ302ArngeirTullius General Tullius. MQ302ArngeirUlfric Jarl Ulfric. MQ302ArngeirWaiting1 Take your seat and we can begin. MQ302ArngeirWaiting2 We all wait upon you, Dragonborn. MQ302ArngeirWaiting3 Why delay? Please, take your seat so we can begin. MQ302ArngeirWhoWillStart1 This council is unprecedented. We are gathered here at the Dragonborn's request. MQ302ArngeirWhoWillStart2 I ask that you all respect the spirit of High Hrothgar, and do your best to begin the process of achieving a lasting peace in Skyrim. MQ302ArngeirWhoWillStart3 Who would like to open the negotiations? MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I'd give a week's pay to see the look on Ulfric's face again, when he had to swallow the terms of the truce. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I hope this truce gives you what you need. It won't last. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic As soon as I get back to Whiterun, I'll get my men ready. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic When I return to Whiterun, I'll get my men ready to help trap this dragon. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic The look on Tullius's face while the Greybeard read the terms was worth the trip. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I don't much like this truce. Feels like a betrayal to me. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic We're counting on you to make this all worthwhile. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I sacrificed a lot here today for this plan of yours. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic That could have gone worse. Now it's up to you to deliver. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic You'd better be able to deliver, Dragonborn. I sacrificed a lot here today. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic Is everyone here? Let's get this started. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic Don't worry, I'll come to this peace council of yours. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I never thought I'd ever willingly stand in the same room with Tullius again. At least not without a weapon in my hand. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic It's good to be back in High Hrothgar after all these years. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I'd just as soon get this over with. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I'll come to your council. But I doubt any good will come of it. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic When has any good ever come from talking to the Empire? MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I don't know how you convinced Ulfric to talk to the Empire. Worse than a waste of time if you ask me. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I'm glad I finally got a chance to see this place. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic Talking peace with Ulfric? You must be an optimist. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic You've done well, to even get the two of them in the same room. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic If you can arrange an end to the fighting, Dragonsreach is at your disposal. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic If you can arrange an end to the fighting, Dragonsreach is at your disposal. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic We should get started. Alduin is only getting stronger. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic What are we waiting for? MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic We must make them see their danger, Dragonborn. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic We must succeed here today. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic And so we meet again. But this time I know who and what you really are. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I'll give you credit for boldness. But associating yourself with the Blades is a choice you will come to regret. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I'm here to ensure that General Tullius does not exceed his authority. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic You gave Ulfric more than he deserved. This will certainly prolong the war. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic These terms are satisfactory to my government. The truce is unlikely to last long in any case. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I'm here because it's required of me. But there's nothing to be gained by talking to that murderer. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I understand this council was your idea, Dragonborn. I'm afraid I don't hold out much hope for success. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I don't know why you gave Ulfric so much. That murderer will never rule Skyrim. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic I'm glad you were able to negotiate a truce, but I don't trust Ulfric. He'll break his word as soon as it suits him. MQ302CouncilBlockingTopic We should get started. MQ302ElenwenDecisionA1 I'm glad we see eye to eye on this. MQ302ElenwenDecisionA1 Maybe so, but bringing her here is a deliberate provocation. We need to show Tullius we won't be pushed around. MQ302ElenwenDecisionA1 Maybe so, but bringing her here is a deliberate provocation. Tullius needs to know I won't be pushed around. MQ302ElenwenDecisionA1 For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both heavens and earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever! MQ302ElenwenDecisionA1 Trust in me, Whiterun! Trust in Heimskr! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word! MQ302ElenwenDecisionA1 So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! MQ302ElenwenDecisionA1 And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people! MQ302ElenwenDecisionA2 Maybe so, but we shouldn't be making concessions before negotiations even start. Makes us look weak. MQ302ElenwenDecisionA2 Maybe so, but I can't be making concessions before negotiations even start. It makes the Empire look weak. MQ302ElenwenDecisionA2 I'm glad we agree on this. MQ302ElenwenDecisionB1 Well said. MQ302ElenwenDecisionB1 Well said. MQ302ElenwenDecisionB1 Hmm. It feels like a mistake to me, but I'll bow to your judgment on this. MQ302ElenwenDecisionB2 Well said. MQ302ElenwenDecisionB2 Hmm. I guess I'll defer to your judgment on this one, but I think it's a mistake. MQ302ElenwenDecisionB2 We're off to a good start. MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic What do you think? Are we going to let Ulfric dictate terms to us before the negotiations even start? MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic What do you think? I can't let Ulfric dictate terms to me before the negotiations even start. MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic By Ysmir's beard, the nerve of those Imperial bastards, eh? MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic To think that we would sit down with that... Thalmor bitch. I say she walks or we walk. MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic By Ysmir's beard, the nerve of those Imperial bastards, eh? MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic To think that I would sit down at the same table with that... Thalmor bitch. Either she walks or I do. MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic Good hunting. I'll see you back at the Sanctuary. MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic Gee, thanks for the help. MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic Kill me or don't, Listener! The power is yours! But spare poor Cicero, and a friend you will have! Oh, such a friend, until we enter the Void... MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic Oh, we have unfinished business you and I. MQ302ElenwenDecisionTopic Kill me if you must. But I can't promise I won't haunt you till the end of your days if... if the Dread Lord lets me. Ha ha ha ha ha. MQ302EsbernCanBeOfHelp Ah. I believe I can be of help here. MQ302FirstConcessionA1 Damn right. MQ302FirstConcessionA1 Just what I was thinking. MQ302FirstConcessionA2 Hmm. The Rift would help secure our communications with Cyrodiil... and threaten Ulfric's southern flank... MQ302FirstConcessionA2 It's true that Whiterun is dangerously exposed as long as the Stormcloaks hold Markarth... MQ302FirstConcessionA2 You're right. Ulfric isn't in any position to ask for Markarth. MQ302FirstConcessionA2a Hardly worth giving up Markarth for, but not a bad starting point. MQ302FirstConcessionA2a Not quite worth handing over Riften, but not a bad starting point. MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons It has its advantages. I've never liked having the Empire perched on my doorstep. And Riften would be easy to hold... MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons Yes. With Markarth in our hands, we'll be able to raid the Imperial supply lines out of Solitude... MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons You're right. Tullius isn't in any position to ask for Riften. MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons Enough, Galmar. MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons Yes, my lord. MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons Galmar. We will do whatever I decide is in the best interests of Skyrim. Are we clear? MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons Vignar. We will do whatever I decide is in the best interests of Skyrim. Are we clear? MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons Besides, Jarl Laila will never agree to... MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons We want control of Markarth. That's our price for agreeing to a truce. MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons You should be glad enough of a chance to lick your wounds at this point in the war. MQ302FirstConcessionA2Sons We consider even sitting down to talk with these rebels more than generous. MQ302FirstConcessionA4 In exchange for Markarth, the source of most of Skyrim's silver? Hardly. MQ302FirstConcessionA4 Riften seems like a better choice to me. Well-fortified, easily resupplied across Lake Honrich. Plus all the mead we can drink. MQ302FirstConcessionA4 In exchange for Markarth, the source of most of Skyrim's silver? Hardly. I might rather consider Whiterun. MQ302FirstConcessionA4A1 Fair enough. Although I'm beginning to wonder whose side you're really on. Still... MQ302FirstConcessionA4A1 Fair enough. I was hoping you could put aside your loyalties for the greater good, but I see you're firmly in Ulfric's camp. Still... MQ302FirstConcessionA4A1 I did ask. Although I'm beginning to wonder whose side you're really on. Still... MQ302FirstConcessionA4A1 Fair enough. I thought you might be able to see past your Imperial loyalties in the interests of peace, but I guess not. Still... MQ302FirstConcessionA4A1 Fair enough. You claim to be neutral, but it seems that you actually favor the Empire. Still... MQ302FirstConcessionA4A2 Not enough to outweigh the loss of Markarth. With the Reach in enemy hands, our whole position in Solitude would be threatened. MQ302FirstConcessionA4A2Sons Not enough to outweigh the loss of Riften. The whole south of Eastmarch would be open to Imperial attack. MQ302FirstConcessionA4A3 I'm glad you agree. I was starting to wonder whose side you were on here. MQ302FirstConcessionA4A3 Well. You surprise me. I was expecting you to favor Ulfric. Maybe this council will achieve something after all. MQ302FirstConcessionA4A3Sons I'm glad you agree. I was starting to wonder whose side you were on here. MQ302FirstConcessionA4A3Sons Well. Good! You favor the Empire less than I feared. Maybe we will be able to come to some agreement here after all. MQ302FirstConcessionA4B1 Better than nothing, I suppose. But Ulfric will need to offer a lot more if he wants me to give up Markarth without a fight. MQ302FirstConcessionA4B1 Better than nothing, I guess. But Tullius will need to offer a lot more if he wants me to give up Riften without a fight. MQ302FirstConcessionA4Sons In exchange for Riften, the jewel of Skyrim? Hardly. MQ302FirstConcessionA4Sons Whiterun seems like a better choice to me. From there we can threaten to undermine the whole Imperial position. MQ302FirstConcessionA4Sons In exchange for Riften, the jewel of Skyrim? Hardly. How about the Reach? Gaining control of the silver mines would be invaluable. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Since we're all here at your request, I'd like to hear what you think Markarth is worth. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic This council was your idea, eh? So tell us, what do you think Riften is worth? MQ302FirstConcessionTopic First, let's be clear. This council wasn't my idea. I think it's a waste of time. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic You are a traitor to the Empire, and deserve a traitor's death. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Enough! MQ302FirstConcessionTopic You lost the trust of the people of Skyrim, Elisif. You had your chance to make the right choice when the war started. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Wait. General, you don't intend to just hand over Markarth to that... traitor! MQ302FirstConcessionTopic What would the Empire want in return? MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Yes, that'd be entirely out of character. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic We've taken it before. I'm only asking for what will be ours soon enough anyway. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic You hope to gain in council what you've been unable to take in battle, is that it? MQ302FirstConcessionTopic I'm sure Jarl Ulfric does not expect something for nothing. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Ulfric, you can't seriously expect us to give up Markarth at the negotiating table. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Yes, let's get down to it. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic You know exactly... no. Not this time. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic She's supposed to be on our side? MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Ulfric, why so hostile? After all, it's not the Thalmor that's burning your farms and killing your sons. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic But she is to observe, nothing more. We are not negotiating with her, is that clear? MQ302FirstConcessionTopic We walk, then. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic No. We'll stay. Out of respect for the Dragonborn and our Greybeard hosts. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Sorry, sir. It won't happen again. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Legate. We represent the Emperor here. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic You're lucky I respect the Greybeards' council, Galmar! MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Unlike your Imperial friends here. MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Ha! Skyrim will never bow to the Thalmor! MQ302FirstConcessionTopic Very well, Ulfric. Enjoy your petty victory. MQ302KickOutImperialA1 I'm sure that will be comforting to your comrades that gave their lives for the territory you just handed to Ulfric. MQ302KickOutImperialA1 You should think harder on your oath to the Emperor next time you're deciding what's right. MQ302KickOutImperialA2 You made your decision. Now live with it. MQ302KickOutImperialA3 Fair? This is war, soldier. War's about winning, not being fair to the enemy. MQ302KickOutImperialB1 You are hereby dishonorably dismissed and removed from the rolls of the Imperial Legion. MQ302KickOutImperialTopic Your actions here were a disgrace. You betrayed your oath to the Emperor at every turn. MQ302KickOutImperialTopic You... you disappointed me. You gave too much away. More than was necessary to secure this truce. MQ302KickOutImperialTopic You're losing this war, and you know it. MQ302KickOutImperialTopic You'll never defeat the Empire, and you know it. But you're willing to sacrifice thousands for your own selfish ambition. MQ302KickOutImperialTopic I know you, Ulfric. If I hand over Markarth, you'll be ready with a new demand. MQ302KickOutImperialTopic Now we'll see if there's anything behind your talk of good faith. MQ302KickOutImperialTopic The Dragonborn has spoken, Tullius. Markarth will be ours. MQ302KickOutSonsA1 I'm sure that will be a great comfort to the families of your comrades who died to free the land you just gave back to the Empire. MQ302KickOutSonsA1 You should think harder on your commitment to Skyrim's freedom next time you're deciding what's right. MQ302KickOutSonsA2 You made your decision. Now live with it. MQ302KickOutSonsA3 Very honorable, I'm sure, but you should not put your own honor above the freedom of Skyrim. MQ302KickOutSonsB1 You've disgraced yourself and our cause. You are no longer fit to be known as a son of Skyrim. MQ302KickOutSonsB1 You've disgraced yourself and our cause. You are no longer fit to be known as a daughter of Skyrim. MQ302KickOutSonsTopic Your actions here were a disgrace. You betrayed Skyrim at every turn. MQ302KickOutSonsTopic You... you disappointed me. You gave too much away. More than was necessary to secure this truce. MQ302MinorHoldA1 You treat us fairly. Thank you. MQ302MinorHoldA1 Spoken like a true son of Skyrim! MQ302MinorHoldA1 Spoken like a true daughter of Skyrim! MQ302MinorHoldA1Imperial I'm impressed at your even-handed treatment. Thank you. MQ302MinorHoldA1Imperial I knew I could count on you. MQ302MinorHoldA2 What? And you call yourself a son of Skyrim? MQ302MinorHoldA2 What? And you call yourself a daughter of Skyrim? MQ302MinorHoldA2 Even the Dragonborn betrays Skyrim. MQ302MinorHoldA2Imperial What? Have you forgotten your oath to the Emperor? MQ302MinorHoldA2Imperial As I expected, you favor your friends. MQ302MinorHoldTopic What makes you think I'll give that to you, if I wouldn't give you Markarth? MQ302MinorHoldTopic Where do these demands stop, Ulfric? Do you expect me to surrender all of Skyrim? MQ302MinorHoldTopic Elisif! I said I'd handle it. MQ302MinorHoldTopic Jarl Elisif, I'll handle this. MQ302MinorHoldTopic General, this is outrageous! You can't be taking this demand seriously! I thought we were here to discuss a truce! MQ302MinorHoldTopic So that's why you're here, Ulfric? You dare to insult the Greybeards by using this council to advance your own position? MQ302MinorHoldTopic I'm sure you have something in mind. MQ302MinorHoldTopic I'm listening. MQ302MinorHoldTopic Let's hear it. MQ302MinorHoldTopic If we're not going to get Markarth, we need you to give us something. MQ302MinorHoldTopic You know as well as I do that that we can't hand over Riften on these terms. MQ302MinorHoldTopic Don't hand me a mug of sheep's piss and call it mead. These terms are still not acceptable. MQ302MinorHoldTopic These terms are not acceptable. You know that. MQ302MinorHoldTopic Come on, Tullius. You have to give a little ground here. The dragons are a threat to us both. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Barleydark Farm. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Riverwood. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Rorikstead. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Karthwasten. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Old Hroldan. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Kolskeggr Mine. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Stonehills. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Frost River Farm. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Granite Hill. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Half-moon Mill. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Heljarchen. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Anga's Mill. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Loreius Farm. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Whistling Mine. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Ivarstead. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Shor's Stone. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Heartwood Mill. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Sarethi Farm. MQ302MinorHoldTopic You surrender Hjaalmarch to us, and take Idgrod Ravencrone with you. Sorli the Builder will take over as Jarl of Morthal. MQ302MinorHoldTopic You surrender Falkreath to us. Siddgeir steps down, and Dengeir of Stuhn resumes the Jarlship. MQ302MinorHoldTopic You withdraw from the Pale, and allow Jarl Skald the Elder to return to Dawnstar. MQ302MinorHoldTopic We want Imperial forces to withdraw from Winterhold, and allow Jarl Kraldar to return from exile. MQ302MinorHoldTopic Bah! This is a waste of time. I can see that we won't get better terms from this council. MQ302MinorHoldTopic So be it. The sons of Skyrim at least put the greater good above our own interests. MQ302RaidedTownA1 I think you're on the wrong side in this war, my friend. MQ302RaidedTownA1 Yes! MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial Well said! You may be fighting on the wrong side in this war. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial Well said. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial This is our homeland, Tullius. All the blood spilled in this war is on your head. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial Damned Imperial lies! My men would never stoop to such methods, even in retaliation for your butchery at... MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial You slaughtered the very people you claim to be fighting for! True sons of Skyrim would never do such things. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial If you think that winning a few battles means you're winning the war, you're even worse at strategy than diplomacy. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial You're losing this war and you know it. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial I know how this works, Tullius. I've learned the value of Imperial promises the hard way. Never again. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial We get Riften back. Now we'll see if there's anything behind your fine words. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial You may think this war is nearly won. You're wrong. I've been fighting you with a mere handful of troops. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial Once the Emperor is convinced of the need, then you will see the full strength of the Imperial Legion. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial If you think you can hold Riften, you're as deluded as you've always been. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial You're here to blacken the Empire's name, and I won't be party to it. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial I know you, Ulfric. You have no intention of coming to terms. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial Aedra, what a day! MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial I'll deal with my uncle. Just... go! Scour this place from top to bottom! MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial Yes, I'm positive I heard something. MQ302RaidedTownA1Imperial 'Accidents' like this don't just happen! Someone is trying to sabotage my uncle's research! MQ302RaidedTownA2 Think carefully where your loyalties lie... brother. MQ302RaidedTownA2 Think carefully where your loyalties lie... sister. MQ302RaidedTownA2 I don't know why I expected even-handed treatment from you. MQ302RaidedTownA2 You don't really expect compensation every time a farm gets burned in a war that you started, do you Ulfric? MQ302RaidedTownA2 That's a lie! My legionnaires are disciplined, unlike your... MQ302RaidedTownA2 You slaughtered them - the women, the children! You butchers! MQ302RaidedTownA2Imperial I expected better from you. MQ302RaidedTownA2Imperial I should have known better than to expect you to give us a fair hearing. MQ302RaidedTownTopic I shouldn't agree to terms that so blatantly favor the Empire. I have no choice, though, under the circumstances. MQ302RaidedTownTopic But once Alduin is defeated - then it will be the Empire's turn. Remember - "Evgir Unslaad." MQ302RaidedTownTopic The sons of Skyrim will live up to their agreements. As long as the Imperials hold to theirs. MQ302RaidedTownTopic These terms blatantly favor the rebels. Everyone here knows that. MQ302RaidedTownTopic But the Empire will accept them, until the dragon menace is dealt with. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Empire can live with these terms, yes. For a temporary truce, until the dragon menace is dealt with. MQ302RaidedTownTopic You both agree to this? MQ302RaidedTownTopic General Tullius... MQ302RaidedTownTopic Jarl Ulfric... MQ302RaidedTownTopic I'm willing to let the Dragonborn be the judge of the fairness of my request. MQ302RaidedTownTopic It seems I have no choice but to let the Dragonborn decide. Although I'm starting to doubt your fairness. MQ302RaidedTownTopic I don't know about the end of the world, but this dragon situation has gotten out of hand. MQ302RaidedTownTopic If this truce will help the Dragonborn here put an end to that menace, we both gain. Remember that, Ulfric. MQ302RaidedTownTopic That's enough out of you. MQ302RaidedTownTopic If he's right about Alduin... we both have just as much to lose here, Tullius, remember that. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Shut up. MQ302RaidedTownTopic A very pretty speech, but what does it have to do with... MQ302RaidedTownTopic Can you not put aside your hatred for even one moment in the face of this mortal danger? MQ302RaidedTownTopic He grows more powerful with every soldier slain in your pointless war! MQ302RaidedTownTopic Alduin has returned! The World-Eater! Even now, he devours the souls of your fallen comrades! MQ302RaidedTownTopic Don't you understand the danger? Don't you understand what the return of the dragons means? MQ302RaidedTownTopic And I advise you both to listen to what he has to say, before you do anything rash. MQ302RaidedTownTopic He is with me. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Is he with you, Delphine? If so, I advise you to tell him to watch his tongue. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Here you sit arguing about... nothing! While the fate of the land hangs in the balance! MQ302RaidedTownTopic Stop! Are you so blind to our danger that you can't see past your petty disagreements? MQ302RaidedTownTopic You always were a fool, Ulfric. You'll never get a better chance to salvage something from the ruins of your ambition. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Markarth is off the table. Your rabble is on the verge of defeat. We have no need of a truce at such a price. MQ302RaidedTownTopic We've made you a fair offer. Are you serious about these talks, or are you just here to posture? MQ302RaidedTownTopic Do you hear that, Tullius? The blood of the innocent cries out for weregild. MQ302RaidedTownTopic And so the Empire runs roughshod over Skyrim, as usual. MQ302RaidedTownTopic But I at least will negotiate in good faith. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Ulfric will withdraw his forces from Hjaalmarch, allowing Jarl Idgrod Ravencrone to return to Morthal. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Ulfric will withdraw his forces from Falkreath, allowing Jarl Siddgeir to return. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Ulfric will allow Imperial forces into the Pale. Skald the Elder will go into exile, and Brina Merilis will assume the Jarlship. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Ulfric will allow Imperial troops to enter Winterhold. Korir will replace Kraldar as Jarl. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Empire will allow Ulfric's forces to enter Hjaalmarch. Idgrod Ravencrone will go into exile, with Sorli the Builder replacing her as Jarl. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Empire will allow Ulfric's forces to enter Falkreath. Jarl Siddgeir will step down, and Dengeir of Stuhn will take his place as Jarl. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Empire will withdraw its troops from the Pale, allowing Jarl Skald the Elder to return from exile. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Empire will withdraw its troops from Winterhold, allowing Jarl Korir to return from exile. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Stormcloaks will withdraw from the Reach, allowing Jarl Igmund to return to Markarth. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Stormcloaks will withdraw from the Rift, allowing Imperial troops unhindered access. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Jarl Laila Law-Giver will step down, and Maven Black-Briar will become the Jarl of Riften. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Empire will withdraw its troops from the Reach, allowing Ulfric's forces unhindered access to Markarth. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Jarl Igmund will go into exile, with Thongvor Silver-Blood taking his place as Jarl of Markarth. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Empire will withdraw its troops from the Rift, allowing the return of Jarl Laila Law-Giver. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Hjaalmarch will be turned over to Ulfric, with Sorli the Builder assuming the Jarlship. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Falkreath will be turned over to Ulfric, and Dengeir of Stuhn will return as Jarl. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Imperial forces will withdraw from The Pale, and Jarl Skald the Elder will be allowed to return to Dawnstar. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Imperial troops will withdraw from Winterhold, and Kraldar will return as Jarl. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Stormcloaks will withdraw from Hjaalmarch, and Idgrod Ravencrone will resume the Jarlship. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Falkreath will be returned to Imperial control, under the authority of Jarl Siddgeir. MQ302RaidedTownTopic The Pale will be turned over to the Empire. Brina Merilis will assume the Jarlship in Dawnstar. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Winterhold will be turned over to the Empire, although the College itself will retain its traditional neutrality. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Markarth remains allied to the Empire, under the authority of Jarl Igmund. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Riften remains allied to the Stormcloak cause, under the authority of Jarl Laila Law-Giver. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Markarth will be handed over to Ulfric's forces. Jarl Igmund will step down, and Thongvor Silver-Blood will become the Jarl of Markarth. MQ302RaidedTownTopic Riften will be handed over to Imperial control. Jarl Laila Law-Giver will step down, and Maven Black-Briar will become the Jarl of Riften. MQ302RaidedTownTopic These are the terms currently on the table. MQ302SwitchSidesA1 I'm sorry to hear that. I thought your eyes had finally been opened to the Empire's true nature. MQ302SwitchSidesA2 Welcome, brother! I'm glad that your eyes have finally been opened to the Empire's true nature. MQ302SwitchSidesA2 Welcome, sister! I'm glad that your eyes have finally been opened to the Empire's true nature. MQ302SwitchSidesB1 Come see me in Windhelm when this is all done. There's always work for those willing to fight for Skyrim. MQ302SwitchSidesImperialA1 I'm sorry to hear that. I thought you'd finally seen through Ulfric's lies. MQ302SwitchSidesImperialA2 Excellent! You aren't the first to have a change of heart, after seeing what Ulfric's reckless pride is doing to Skyrim. MQ302SwitchSidesImperialB1 Come see me in Solitude when this is all done. The Emperor can always use another good soldier. MQ302SwitchSidesImperialTopic Ulfric showed his true colors today, eh? Don't worry. You aren't the first to be taken in by his self-serving lies. MQ302SwitchSidesImperialTopic I think you may have joined the wrong side. You showed yourself to be a true friend to the Empire today. MQ302SwitchSidesTopic The Empire showed its true colors today, eh? Don't worry. I was once loyal to the Empire, too, before my eyes were opened. MQ302SwitchSidesTopic Come see me in Windhelm when all this is over, and I'll find a place for you. MQ302SwitchSidesTopic I think you may have joined up with the wrong side, Dragonborn. You showed yourself a true son of Skyrim here today. MQ302SwitchSidesTopic I think you may have joined up with the wrong side, Dragonborn. You showed yourself a true daughter of Skyrim here today. MQ302TulliusDemandFair You've been even-handed so far. What do you say to our demand? MQ302TulliusDemandNeutral So, Dragonborn. What do you say? MQ302TulliusFalkreath Regaining Pale Pass would help our supply situation considerably... and Whiterun is dangerously exposed with the enemy in Falkreath... MQ302TulliusHjaalmarch I've never liked having the rebels right on Solitude's doorstep. Retaking Hjaalmarch would help secure our supply lines... MQ302TulliusIntroA1 Why? There's nothing to discuss as long as that traitor Ulfric is in arms against his rightful Emperor. MQ302TulliusIntroB1A Most of the Legion is tied down on the border with the Aldmeri Dominion. The Emperor can't afford to risk weakening Cyrodiil's defenses. MQ302TulliusIntroB1A From the Imperial City, our war here is just a sideshow. An interlude before the main event against the Thalmor resumes. MQ302TulliusIntroB1New You may have a point. It's getting difficult to even move troops around without attracting a dragon attack. MQ302TulliusIntroB1New By all accounts the Stormcloaks are suffering just as badly. Even Ulfric might see the sense of a truce under these conditions. MQ302TulliusIntroB1New I'll be the judge of that. Besides, by all reports the Stormcloaks are suffering just as much as we are from these dragon attacks. MQ302TulliusIntroB4 Has he? I suppose he doesn't want to miss a chance to bluster about the Empire's many crimes. MQ302TulliusIntroB4 He's probably hoping I'll refuse so he can blame the Empire for being unreasonable. I think I'll have to disappoint him yet again. MQ302TulliusIntroB4 Hmm. You may have a point. I'm always surprised by how seriously the Nords take these things. MQ302TulliusIntroC1 Yes. Yes, fine, I'll come to this Greybeard council. For all the good it will do. MQ302TulliusIntroImperial Fair enough. We're driving the Stormcloaks back well enough at the moment, but we're already overstretched. MQ302TulliusIntroImperial No, you're right. After all this time, Ulfric still holds almost half of Skyrim. MQ302TulliusIntroImperial Well... we could use some breathing space to regroup. Things haven't been going well for us lately. MQ302TulliusIntroNewA1 They are getting to be a problem. But I wasn't sent to Skyrim to fight dragons. MQ302TulliusIntroNewA1 My job is to quell this rebellion, and I intend to do just that, dragons or no dragons. MQ302TulliusIntroStormcloak True. A pause to consolidate our gains would be useful. And the Empire can afford to look magnanimous in victory. MQ302TulliusIntroStormcloak Ulfric's insurrection has reached its high tide. Soon enough the rebel Jarls will realize what it means to oppose the Empire. MQ302TulliusIntroStormcloak But, as you say, these negotiations may offer a chance for his supporters to gracefully return to the Imperial fold. MQ302TulliusIntroStormcloak I think you overestimate Ulfric's chances. He's stretched himself too thin. MQ302TulliusIntroStormcloak But... we could use the breathing space to regroup. MQ302TulliusIntroTopic The Greybeards? What do those old hermits want with me? MQ302TulliusIntroTopic The Daedric prince of the unknown. Hermaeus Mora. I thought there were no secrets left to know. Until I first spoke to him. MQ302TulliusIntroTopic He asks a price -- to work his will. A few murders, some dissent spread, a plague or two. For the secrets I can endure. MQ302TulliusIntroTopic In time, he brought me here. To the box. MQ302TulliusIntroTopic But he won't reveal how to open it. Maddening. MQ302TulliusIntroTopic I've seen enough to know their fabric. The warp of air, the weft of time. MQ302TulliusIntroTopic But no, it is not in my possession. MQ302TulliusMadNoNegotiation But I can see now that this is not a negotiation at all. MQ302TulliusMadNoNegotiation2 I can see now that this is not a negotiation at all. MQ302TulliusMadUlfricHeadsmansAxe Soon enough I'll have you back under the headsman's axe, and this time there won't be any dragon to save you. MQ302TulliusPlayerImperialHappy I don't blame you, Dragonborn. You made the best of a bad situation. MQ302TulliusPlayerImperialUnhappy I expected better of you, Dragonborn. You swore an oath to serve the Emperor. Don't forget it. MQ302TulliusPlayerNeutralUnhappy You disappoint me, Dragonborn. I accepted your invitation on trust in your good name. But it seems you intend to favor Ulfric. MQ302TulliusPlayerSonsHappy I don't blame you, Dragonborn. You treated us fairly despite your known rebel sympathies. MQ302TulliusPlayerSonsUnhappy You disappoint me, Dragonborn. I accepted your invitation to this council, despite your known association with the rebels. MQ302TulliusPlayerSonsUnhappy But it seems you have no intention of dealing fairly with me. MQ302TulliusThePale Having another port would ease our supply situation considerably... MQ302TulliusTryingToWinAWar That's what comes of trying to win a war with a bare handful of legions. If the Emperor would just give me the reinforcements I've requested! MQ302TulliusWinterhold Winterhold would allow us to directly threaten the rebel supply lines out of Windhelm... MQ302TulliusYouAlwaysWereAFool You always were a fool, Ulfric. You're no better at diplomacy than you are on the battlefield. MQ302TulliusYouHeardFemale You heard what she said, Ulfric. MQ302TulliusYouHeardMale You heard the man, Ulfric. MQ302UlfricDemandFair You've dealt with us fairly so far. You've heard our demand. What say you? MQ302UlfricDemandNeutral What say you, Dragonborn? MQ302UlfricEmpiresFineWords As always, the Empire's fine words are worth nothing! MQ302UlfricFalkreath Blocking Pale Pass would cut one of the main Imperial supply routes... and Whiterun is dangerously exposed with the enemy in Falkreath. MQ302UlfricFalkreathEmpireInWhiterun Blocking Pale Pass would cut one of the main Imperial supply routes... and would leave Whiterun dangerously exposed... MQ302UlfricHjaalmarch Hjaalmarch would allow us to directly threaten the Imperial supply lines out of Solitude... MQ302UlfricIntroA1 I have the greatest respect for the Greybeards, of course. And the dragon attacks are a growing plague. MQ302UlfricIntroA1 But the political situation is still delicate. Not all the Jarls are fully committed to supporting me as High King. MQ302UlfricIntroA1 I can't afford to appear weak. I can't agree to this unless Tullius himself will be there. MQ302UlfricIntroB1 Good. Maybe he's realized he's beaten. The way things are going, we'll be knocking at the gates of Solitude itself before too long. MQ302UlfricIntroB1 Good. We still hold half of Skyrim despite everything the Empire could throw at us. MQ302UlfricIntroB1 I doubt the Empire has the stomach for much more bloodletting. MQ302UlfricIntroB1 Good. They've had their victories, but Tullius is no fool. The Empire can't afford to keep this up much longer. MQ302UlfricIntroB2 I can't agree to any peace council until I know Tullius will be there. The other Jarls could take that as a sign of weakness. MQ302UlfricIntroB3 Alduin? The World-Eater of song and legend? If that's true... well, it changes the situation doesn't it? MQ302UlfricIntroB3 Even Tullius may be forced to talk sense in the face of such a threat. MQ302UlfricIntroB3 Alduin? The World-Eater of song and legend? If that's true, we're all doomed anyway. MQ302UlfricIntroB3 And if it isn't true... well, then the fight to free Skyrim goes on. Either way, I don't see the use in talking to the Empire. MQ302UlfricIntroC1 He is weak. And no doubt knows it. He's no fool, he'll come, if only to give his troops a chance to refit. MQ302UlfricIntroC1 But you're right. Victory is within our grasp. We can afford to give the Empire one more chance to withdraw. MQ302UlfricIntroC1 You're right. Let Tullius be the one to insult the Greybeards by refusing their summons. MQ302UlfricIntroC1 Show up these Imperials for the foreigners they really are. MQ302UlfricIntroC1 Hmm. We could use the time to bring in new recruits. Our losses have been heavy recently... MQ302UlfricIntroC2 You speak truly, Dragonborn. Sometimes the grubby business of politics clouds my eyes. MQ302UlfricIntroC2 Besides, it will be good to see High Hrothgar again. MQ302UlfricIntroC3 I don't need you to teach me how to play high politics in Skyrim. MQ302UlfricIntroC3 But... you're right. There's nothing to be gained by refusing the Greybeards' request. MQ302UlfricIntroD1 Yes. I'll give Tullius one more chance to quit Skyrim with his tail between his legs. MQ302UlfricIntroTopic It's about time they turned their gaze from the heavens, back to our bleeding homeland. What do they want? MQ302UlfricLetsGoGalmar Let's go, Galmar. I should have listened to you in the first place. MQ302UlfricMadImperialsHoldWhiterun If you think you can hold Markarth, you're as deluded as your Emperor when he signed away our freedom to the Thalmor. MQ302UlfricMadPlayerNeutral You did the best you could, Dragonborn. But I've learned the hard way that these Imperials are best dealt with at sword point. MQ302UlfricMadPlayerSonsFemale You did the best you could, sister. But I've learned the hard way that these Imperials are best dealt with at sword point. MQ302UlfricMadPlayerSonsMale You did the best you could, brother. But I've learned the hard way that these Imperials are best dealt with at sword point. MQ302UlfricMadSonsHoldWhiterun If you think we'll just hand over Riften, you're as deluded as your Emperor when he signed away our freedom to the Thalmor. MQ302UlfricMadSonsLosing If you think this war is nearly won, you're as deluded as your Emperor when he signed away our freedom to the Thalmor. MQ302UlfricMadSonsLosing You can trample us underfoot but we will rise again! MQ302UlfricMadTalkingToEmpireIsUseless As for you, General Tullius, I see now that Galmar was right. Talking to the Empire is just as useless as ever. MQ302UlfricPlayerImperialHappy You're different from what I expected, Dragonborn. You treat us with respect, despite your known Imperial sympathies. MQ302UlfricPlayerImperialUnhappy I expected better from you Dragonborn. I came here in good faith, despite your known Imperial sympathies. MQ302UlfricPlayerNeutralUnhappy I expected better from you Dragonborn. I came here in good faith, and now it seems you help the Empire at every turn. MQ302UlfricPlayerSonsHappyFemale Well done, sister. If you can hold these Imperials to their promises, we might be able to reach an agreement. MQ302UlfricPlayerSonsHappyMale Well done, brother. If you can hold these Imperials to their promises, we might be able to reach an agreement. MQ302UlfricPlayerSonsUnhappyFemale Think hard about your loyalties, sister. I expected better from you. MQ302UlfricPlayerSonsUnhappyMale Think hard about your loyalties, brother. I expected better from you. MQ302UlfricSkyrimWillNeverBow Skyrim will never again bow to your false Empire! MQ302UlfricThePale Hmm... the Empire is bringing in a lot of supplies through Dawnstar. Taking the Pale would stretch them pretty thin... MQ302UlfricWinterhold I've never liked having the Imperials right on Windhelm's doorstep. Retaking Winterhold would help secure our supply lines... MQ303AgreeToFreeOdahviing Onikaan koraav gein miraad. It is wise to recognize when you only have one choice. MQ303AgreeToFreeOdahviing And you can trust me. Zu'u ni tahrodiis. Alduin has proven himself unworthy to rule. I go my own way now. MQ303AgreeToFreeOdahviing Free me, and I will carry you to Skuldafn. MQ303DragonExitLine1 Alduin mah nol thur.

Someone else is gonna have to help you get him back in there again. MQ303GatekeeperA2 Hey, when you make up your mind, just let me know. I'll be here. MQ303GatekeeperTopic You sure about that? You want to let that dragon loose after all the trouble to catch him in there? MQ303OdahviingArriveSkuldafn This is far as I can take you. Krif voth ahkrin. I will look for your return, or Alduin's. MQ303OdahviingFlyAway Amativ! Mu bo kotin stinselok. MQ303OdahviingFreeA1 Zok brit uth! I warn you, once you've flown the skies of Keizaal, your envy of the dov will only increase. MQ303OdahviingFreeA2 Kreh zini! The freedom of the sky beckons! Yet I stay here, nau gol, as promised. MQ303OdahviingFreeTopic Saraan uth - I await your command, as promised. Are you ready to see the world as only a dovah can? MQ303OdahviingFreeTopic Are you ready to see the world as only a dovah can? MQ303OdahviingIntroA2 Zu'u ni tahrodiis. It was you that lured me here and took me prisoner... vobalaan grahmindol. I have done nothing to earn your distrust. MQ303OdahviingIntroB1 Hin aar, orin nu. And yet here I am, still your prisoner. MQ303OdahviingIntroCont You will release me - ro laan - if in return I promise to take you to Skuldafn and stop helping Alduin? MQ303OdahviingIntroTopic You have reconsidered my offer, hmm? Onikaan kron? MQ304A3 The World-Eater waits within the mist! Bring word to Shor's hall of our hard fate! MQ304BewareWorldEaterInMist Beware! The World-Eater waits within the mist! MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Welcome, Dragonborn! Our door has stood empty since Alduin first set his soul-snare here. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic The three await your word to loose their fury upon the perilous foe. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Do not fail Kodlak. He's earned his place here, and does not deserve to fall prey to Alduin's insatiable hunger. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic My disciples still follow the difficult path - the Way of the Voice is neither wide, nor easy. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic But if you stray from wisdom then to Sovngarde you will not return. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic You freed Svaknir, a fool of a poet, but an honest enemy who has earned my respect. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Sadly, he's now lost in the soul-snaring mist - defeat Alduin, and his doom avert - I hope to greet him in this Hall as a friend. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Fate drives you, but you follow your own path. Choose wisely, lest you wander into evil. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Far you've travelled, your trials long, to taste of Sovngarde's sweet delights. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Seek ye food or song unending? Fighting, drinking, fellowship and boasting? Find welcome here, and warm your soul. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Hail, Dragonborn. That honor is also mine - to our shared birthright you'll bring new glory! MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Dragonborn! Have you come to cleanse Sovngarde at long last of Alduin's foul mist? MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Why does Shor forbid us to face Alduin? I fear no worm, World-Eater though he be. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic I long to fight that foul worm, but by Shor's command we curb our wrath. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic No gloom can hold my heart for long in Shor's bless'd hall, where no shadows lie. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic A cup, Dragonborn, to death and glory! MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Take your ease, let troubles fade. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic By Shor's command we curb our wrath, so we feast and sing, til the final doom. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Shor's power protects this hall; but beyond is fear, brought by Alduin. MQ304HallofValorBlockingTopic Shor's high seat stands empty; his mien is too bright for mortal eyes. MQ304HeroFightAlduinTopic Alduin escaped us long ago. Today we take our well-tempered revenge. MQ304HeroFightAlduinTopic For a hundred lifetimes my heart has burned for revenge on Alduin too long delayed. MQ304HeroFightAlduinTopic It is long since one of the living has entered here. May Shor's favor follow you and your errand. MQ304HeroFightAlduinTopic You fought well. I find you worthy. MQ304LostSoulA1 Near Giants' Gap, in the gloom before dawn, we marched, unsuspecting into the Imperials' trap. MQ304LostSoulA1 Then we stood and fought, our shield-wall defending until by dawn's light the Legion's ranks wavered. MQ304LostSoulA1 But I never knew if nights-end brought victory - a swift-flying arrow to Sovngarde carried me. MQ304LostSoulA2 I do not know - but none have passed through. MQ304LostSoulA2 Alduin, his hunger insatiable, hunts the lost souls snared within this shadowed valley. MQ304LostSoulA2 Can you lead the way to where Shor's hall waits, beckoning us on to welcome long sought? MQ304LostSoulB1 I saw it fair when first I trod this long-sought path. The pain and fear vanished, dreamlike, and a vision beckoned - MQ304LostSoulB1 Shor's hall, shimmering across the clouded vale. But quenched was hope by the shrouding mist - my mind is darkened. MQ304LostSoulB1 I've lost the way and wander blindly. MQ304LostSoulB1 Hurry! Before Alduin your life devours bring word to Shor's hall of our hard fate! MQ304LostSoulB2 Don't you know? What drew you here? Surely your dreams showed you the way? MQ304LostSoulB2 The Hall of Valor, where heroes wait to follow Shor to the final battle. MQ304LostSoulB2 Astrid is dead. It is as it should be. May she find redemption in the Void. MQ304LostSoulB2 But while you live, the Dark Brotherhood lives. We must fulfill our contract. Emperor Titus Mede II must be eliminated. MQ304LostSoulB2 Speak with Amaund Motierre at the Bannered Mare in Whiterun. He will know the true Emperor's location. MQ304LostSoulB2 But first, inform Nazir of your plans. For you are the Listener, and must bind this Family together. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic Turn back, traveler! Terror waits within this mist. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic Many have braved the shadowed vale but vain is all courage against the peril that guards the way. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic In life I felled foes unnumbered, fearless in battle; but no blade can defend against the terror of this gloom-stricken valley. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic When Ulfric Stormcloak, with savage Shout, sent me here, my sole regret was fair Elisif, left forlorn and weeping. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic I faced him fearlessly - my fate inescapable, yet my honor is unstained - can Ulfric say the same? MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic When I woke from cold death, my doom was lifted - there was Shor's Hall, my heart's desire. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic But now I wander, weary and lost. Alduin hunts me as we once hunted our prey - a bitter payment for many bloody deeds. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic The bitter war of the world beyond was all for naught. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic We are all trapped in Alduin's web - for our allegiance he cares not, but devours us equally - doom unescapable. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic Shor as well - he welcomes all heroes to his kingly hall, if we could but reach it. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic Skyrim was betrayed, the blood of her sons spilled in doomed struggle against fate. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic And so in death, too late, I learn the truth - fed by war, so waxed the power of Alduin, World-Eater - wisdom now useless. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic By gods' jest in this grim mist together snared, Stormcloak and Imperial, we wander hopeless, waiting for succor. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic Dragonborn, even in death you dog my steps? MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic How come you here? The king of this realm will cast you out - cursed be your name by all sons of Skyrim, with scorn unceasing. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic Do you know the way? I'm weary and lost. MQ304LostSoulBlockingTopic Turn back! Before he finds you! MQ304LostSoulC1 I'll try to hold to your hopeful purpose. Quickly, before this encompassing fog once more snares me in the World-Eater's net. MQ304NoEscape There is no escape. Courage is useless. MQ304TsunBlockingTopic Shor's favor has found you, Dragonborn. The Hall of Valor, heart's-ease, awaits. MQ304TsunFight Living or dead, by decree of Shor, none may pass this perilous bridge 'til I judge them worthy by the warrior's test. MQ304TsunFight What brings you, wayfarer grim, to wander here, in Sovngarde, souls-end, Shor's gift to honored dead? MQ304TsunFight Find... Paratus... in Oculory... MQ304TsunFight [coughing] MQ304TsunFight Crystal.... gone... MQ304TsunFight We have to find another way out of here before the place fills with water! MQ304TsunFight No luck there, lass. Something must have fallen on the other side of the door because it isn't moving! MQ304TsunFight Damn! This place is coming down! Quick, get the Skeleton Key and the Eye and lets get out of here! MQ304TsunIntroA1 Ah! It's been too long since last I faced a doom-driven hero of the dragon blood. MQ304TsunIntroA1 Still you persist? Very well, you may enter. MQ304TsunIntroA1 Your perseverance will only lead you to disappointment. MQ304TsunIntroA1 There is no solace in knowing what is to come. MQ304TsunIntroA1 There is no help for you here. MQ304TsunIntroA2 I welcome the chance to challenge the blade of Ysgramor's heir, honored shield-brother to Kodlak Whitemane, whom I've watched for in vain. MQ304TsunIntroA2 I welcome the chance to challenge the blade of Ysgramor's heir, honored shield-sister to Kodlak Whitemane, whom I've watched for in vain. MQ304TsunIntroA3 Well met, mage of Skyrim. MQ304TsunIntroA3 The Nords may have forgotten their forefathers' respect for the Clever Craft, but your comrades throng this hall. MQ304TsunIntroA3 Here in Shor's house we honor it still. MQ304TsunIntroA4 You trespass here, shadow-walker. Shor does not know you. MQ304TsunIntroA4 Perhaps before the end you will earn the right to pass this way. MQ304TsunIntroA4 Welcome I do not offer, but your errand I will not hinder, if my wrath you can withstand. MQ304TsunIntroA5 Do not mistake the night-shrouded thief's stealthily-taken spoils, stolen and unearned, for a warrior's plunder, won in honorable battle. MQ304TsunIntroA5 Your doom already binds you to your dark mistress, but your errand I will not hinder, if my wrath you can withstand. MQ304TsunIntroAlduin A fateful errand. No few have chafed to face the Worm since first he set his soul-snare here at Sovngarde's threshold. MQ304TsunIntroAlduin But Shor restrained our wrathful onslaught - perhaps, deep-counselled, your doom he foresaw. MQ304TsunIntroHallofValor No shade are you, as usually here passes, but living, you dare the land of the dead. MQ304TsunIntroHallofValor By what right do you request entry? MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou I am Tsun, shield-thane to Shor. MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou The Whalebone Bridge he bade me guard and winnow all those souls whose heroic end sent them here, to Shor's lofty hall MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou where welcome, well-earned, awaits those I judge fit to join that fellowship of honor. MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou Come on! You know you want what's in that chest. Just walk toward it! MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou Just walk toward the chest! Gravity will do the rest. MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou I know you're up there. Go get the treasure. Doesn't it look pretty? MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou Oh, and I wasn't entirely truthful before. This is actually going to hurt a lot. You see, you have to be dead in order for the spell to take hold. MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou Ah...Here it is. Now, if you'd be so kind as to stand still this will be much easier for me to do. MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou Hhhmmm...maybe I put it over here. MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou It's got to be somewhere around here! Now where did I put it? MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou Oh, and don't mind my assistant here. He may have seen better days, but he's still more help to me dead than he was alive. MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou Don't worry though. It'll be relatively painless...relatively. MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou Alright, let's see if we have something here to end this as quickly as possible. MQ304TsunIntroWhoAreYou Ooooh...yes...yes. You've fallen for my trap! Greed makes a great lure. Odd you didn't die from the fall though. Most do. MQ304TsunNoneMayPass None may pass this perilous bridge 'til I judge them worthy by the warrior's test. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 By Shor's command we sheathed our blades and ventured not the vale's dark mist. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 But three await your word to loose their fury upon the perilous foe. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Gormlaith the fearless, glad-hearted in battle; Hakon the valiant, heavy-handed warrior; Felldir the Old, far-seeing and grim. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Daal...Vus! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Nahl... MQ304YsgramorIntro1 The mist is gone, my mind is clear. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 For Skyrim! For Shor! For Sovngarde's freedom! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Down with you, damned worm! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 I'll fight and die, if such fate is mine. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Better to die with blade in hand than feed his hunger, hopeless in the mist. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 No higher fate than fall in battle at Sovngarde's gates, a glorious end! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Before I fall, you'll feel the bite of my sharp blade, as Shor's my witness. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Zu'u unslaad! Zu'u nis oblaan! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 I may fall to your malice, but your fate is already written. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 You may strike me down, but your doom is near. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 You cannot defeat us! The Dragonborn still stands! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Your doom has come, damned worm! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Stand fast! The fell worm's death is ours at last, the light returns! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Nowhere to hide! Hunter becomes our prey! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Use Dragonrend, to drag him down! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Die, World-Eater, in despair and fear! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Today you die, your doom has come. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Use Dragonrend, brothers! Bring him to swords-reach! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Down with you, damned worm! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 For Skyrim! For Shor! For Sovngarde's freedom! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 I've waited long for such a worthy opponent. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 The joy of battle burns in your heart! MQ304YsgramorIntro1 The path is closed, till your courage is tested. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Shor's Hall awaits, if worthy you prove. MQ304YsgramorIntro1 Prove worthy by warrior's test, and cross the bridge to the blessed hall. MQ305AlduinShout Ven Mul Riik! MQ305AlduinTaunt1 Dovahkiin, hin kah fen kos bonaar. MQ305AlduinTaunt2 Zu'u lost kriaan hi ont, nu hin sille fen nahkip suleyki. MQ305AlduinTaunt3 Zu'u ni faas gaaffesejul. MQ305AlduinTaunt4 Dovahkiin, you should not have come here. Nu hin sil dii. MQ305AlduinTaunt5 I have already defeated your friends once. Beyn. I do not fear them. MQ305AlduinTaunt6 You are persistent, Dovahkiin. Pruzah ol aar. A fine slave you would have made. MQ305AlduinTaunt7 My teeth to your neck, Dovahkiin! MQ305AlduinTaunt8 Face me, then! Zu'u Alduin! MQ305AlduinTaunt8 Again, together! Alduin is strong! MQ305AlduinTaunt8 Again, as one! The World-Eater fears us! MQ305AlduinTaunt8 We can shatter his power if we Shout together! MQ305AlduinTaunt8 Again! MQ305AlduinTaunt8 We must clear this confounding mist. MQ305AlduinTaunt8 Alduin will hide in this lightless mist until we Shout together, and shatter his power. MQ305AlduinTaunt8 We must Shout together these shadows to dispel. MQ305AlduinTaunt8 We're ready, Dragonborn, our wrath to unleash. MQ305AlduinTaunt8 Everyone, inside. Now! MQ305AlduinTaunt8 By the gods... MQ305AlduinTaunt8 Dragon! MQ305GormlaithEndlessWait The endless wait gives way to battle! Alduin's doom, his death or ours! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Our ancient debt for Alduin's reprieve is now repaid - the long night is ended! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic I'll look for you, friend, when at last you return to Shor's hall. The honor will be ours when you rejoin the ranks of Sovngarde. MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Even here, where heroes throng, few can match this mighty deed. What glory! The gods themselves must envy us this well-earned honor! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Everyone on me. Let's show these Imperial milk drinkers what true Nords look like! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Rrrrraaaaaarrrrr!!!!! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Everyone on me. Let's show these Imperials what we're made of! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Rrrrraaaaaarrrrr!!!!! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Ready now! Everyone, with me! For the Empire! For the Legion! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Rrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic All right men. On me! For the Emperor! For his Legionnaires! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Rrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Ready now! Everyone, with me! For the sons and daughters of Skyrim! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Rrrrrraaaaaaaaggggghhhhhhh!!!!!! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Whiterun's walls are tall, but they are old and crumbling, like the Empire whose Legion lines them. MQ305HeroBlockingTopic The approach to Riften is guarded by watchtowers. They will be full of archers. Move fast, and stay low. MQ305HeroBlockingTopic The only way into Windhelm is across this bridge. Keep moving, stay close, and we'll be through their gates in no time. MQ305HeroBlockingTopic We now fight our way to Castle Dour to cut the head off the legion itself! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic And in that moment, the gods will look down and see Skyrim as she was meant to be. Full of Nords who are mighty, powerful, and free! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic The walls of Markarth may be high, but their age will have created weakness or secret entrances. Find them! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Our objective is the drawbridge. If we can find a way to drop it, the city will be ours! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic The faster we take them out, the faster we can claim this city as ours! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Beyond that are two exterior gates. Find a way to open them and we can take this city! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic All that remains then is the exterior gate. Find a way through to open it and the city will be ours! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic They've barricades to block us, but we'll tear through them and the Imperials behind them! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic They've barricades to block us, but we'll tear through them and the rebels behind them! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic They'll have set barricades to slow us down. MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Destroy them quickly, and take out the archers in the towers along the way. MQ305HeroBlockingTopic They'll have barricades set, destroy them quickly. Keep pressing forward. MQ305HeroBlockingTopic This is it men! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic This is it men! It's time to make this city ours! MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Well, I'd better get back to work. You two make yourselves at home. MQ305HeroBlockingTopic Well, I'd better get some sleep. Don't mind me, though. You two make yourselves at home. MQ305LostSoulBlockingTopic I hear your heart beat like the Harbingers of old. Your glories in Skyrim are seen and honored. MQ305LostSoulBlockingTopic In life we were enemies, but eternity's too long to hold a grudge - my heart's now free of such old hatreds. MQ305LostSoulBlockingTopic Hero of the Nords I name you, Dragonborn, let none deny it. MQ305LostSoulBlockingTopic The mist is gone! A glorious day! MQ305LostSoulBlockingTopic The World-Eater is dead! The way is now clear! MQ305LostSoulBlockingTopic You saved us all. We will sing of you forever. MQ305LostSoulPraiseHer All hail the Dragonborn! Hail her with great praise! MQ305LostSoulPraiseHim All hail the Dragonborn! Hail him with great praise! MQ305TsunDestroySoulSnare The eyes of Shor are upon you this day. Defeat Alduin, and destroy his soul-snare. MQ305TsunOutroNotYet Tarry not too long - the land of the dead is not meant for mortals to linger. MQ305TsunOutroNotYet If it is our lot to end, we'll live in song if not in soul. MQ305TsunOutroNotYet At Sovngarde's gates I'll meet my fate with mirthful heart, and know I fell in noblest cause. MQ305TsunOutroNotYet Now ends this tale, my eternity be damned! MQ305TsunOutroNotYet Through fire and time, the terror has lived. No more, I say! I've set my heart on terrible deeds, death's grim art. MQ305TsunOutroNotYet To battle, my friends! The fields will echo with the clamor of war, our wills undaunted. MQ305TsunOutroNotYet We must drive away his mist, Shouting together, and then unsheathe our blades in desperate battle with our black-winged foe. MQ305TsunOutroNotYet Felldir speaks wisdom - the World-Eater, coward, fears you, Dragonborn. MQ305TsunOutroNotYet But with four Voices joined, our valor combined, we can blast the mist and bring him to battle. MQ305TsunOutroNotYet Alduin's mist is more than a snare - its shadowy gloom is his shield and cloak. MQ305TsunOutroSpeech This was a mighty deed! The doom of Alduin encompassed at last, and cleansed is Sovngarde of his evil snare. MQ305TsunOutroSpeech They will sing of this battle in Shor's hall forever. But your fate lies elsewhere. MQ305TsunOutroSpeech When you have completed your count of days, I may welcome you again, with glad friendship, and bid you join the blessed feasting. MQ305TsunReadyToGo Return now to Nirn, with this rich boon from Shor, my lord: a Shout to bring a hero from Sovngarde in your hour of need. MQ305TsunReadyToGoBack When you are ready to rejoin the living, just bid me so, and I will send you back. MQ306AlduinTopic You've shown yourself mighty, both in Voice and deed. In order to defeat Alduin, you've gained mastery of dreadful weapons. MQ306AlduinTopic Now it is up to you to decide what to do with your power and skill. MQ306AlduinTopic Will you be a hero whose name is remembered in song throughout the ages? MQ306AlduinTopic Or will your name be a curse to future generations? MQ306AlduinTopic Or will you merely fade from history, unremembered? MQ306AlduinTopic Let the Way of the Voice be your guide, and the path of wisdom will be clear to you. Breath and focus, Dragonborn. Your future lies before you. MQ306ArngeirAlduin Perhaps, perhaps not. Dragons are not like normal mortal creatures, and Alduin is unique even among dragonkind. MQ306ArngeirAlduin He may be permitted to return at the end of time to fulfill his destiny as the World-Eater. MQ306ArngeirAlduin But that is for the gods to decide. You have done your part. MQ306ArngeirBlockingA1 Does this mean... is it done? Is Alduin truly defeated? MQ306ArngeirBlockingB1 At last. It is over. Perhaps it was all worth it, in the end. MQ306ArngeirBlockingB2 Then it is done at last. Perhaps it was all worth it, in the end. MQ306ArngeirBlockingTopic I can see it in your eyes - you've seen the land of the gods and returned. MQ306BladesBlockingTopic We heard the news from Whiterun - that you left the city on the back of a dragon! MQ306BladesBlockingTopic That's a little... showy, even for you. MQ306BladesBlockingTopic Please... Delphine has been very worried about you. MQ306DelphineA1 Since you're still alive, I assume you have good news to report? MQ306DelphineB1 Gods above... that's better news than I had hoped! MQ306DelphineB1 When you walked into my inn that day, I never imagined where it would all lead... dragons out of legend... Sovngarde... MQ306DelphineB1 We are all in your debt, Dragonborn. MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Pruzah wundunne wah Wuth Gein. I wish the old one luck in his... quest. MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic But I doubt many will wish to exchange Alduin's lordship for the tyranny of Paarthurnax's "Way of the Voice". MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic If Alduin himself could not stand against your Thu'um, I feel no shame in my own defeat. MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Goraan! I feel younger than I have in many an age. MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Many of the dovahhe are now scattered across Keizaal. Without Alduin's lordship, they may yet bow to the vahzen... rightness of my Thu'um. MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic But willing or no, they will hear it! Fare thee well, Dovahkiin! MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Mu los vomir MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Thu'umii los nahlot MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Dovahkiin los ok dovahkriid MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Sahrot thur qahnaraan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Alduin mahlaan MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic I'll put it plainly. You can claim your sword, or you can keep your wife. If you set foot outside the gate, I won't be here when you return. MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic I just need to hire one, maybe two good men. You won't starve. MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic So you're willing to starve your wife and daughter to reclaim some rusty old sword? MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic It took me weeks to find that thieves' den. I can't stop now, and I can't get the sword on my own. MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic I know your family's honor is important to you, but we can't afford it! MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Wait... I.... MQ306OdahviingBlockingTopic Saffir! MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroA1 Happy? No, I am not happy. Zeymahi lost ont du'ul Bormahu. Alduin was once the crown of our father Akatosh's creation. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroA2 Of course. Alduin wahlaan daanii. I would not have helped you if I thought otherwise. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroA3 Indeed. Alduin wahlaan daanii. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroA3 His doom was written when he claimed for himself the lordship that properly belongs to Bormahu - our father Akatosh. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroB1 You did what was necessary. Alduin had flown far from the path of right action in his pahlok - the arrogance of his power. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroB2 But I cannot celebrate his fall. Zu'u tiiraaz ahst ok mah. He was my brother once. This world will never be the same. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroC1 And so you fulfilled your destiny, which you once said you did not believe in. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroC2 You once told me you did not believe in destiny. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroC2 Indeed, you saw more clearly than I - certainly more clearly than Alduin. Rok funta koraav. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroC3 Perhaps. At least it will continue to exist. Grik los lein. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroC3 And, as you told me once, the next world will have to take care of itself. Ful nii los. Even I cannot see past Time's ending. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroC3 I am glad you believe that. At least it will continue to exist. Grik los lein. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroC3 Even I cannot see past Time's ending to what comes next. Niid koraav zeim dinoksetiid. We must do the best we can with this world. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroD1 But I forget myself. Krosis. So los mid fahdon. Melancholy is an easy trap for a dovah to fall into. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroD1 You have won a mighty victory. Sahrot krongrah - one that will echo through all the ages of this world for those who have eyes to see. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroD1 Savor your triumph, Dovahkiin. This is not the last of what you will write upon the currents of Time. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroD2 Perhaps now you have some insight into the forces that shape the vennesetiid... the currents of Time. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroD2 Perhaps you begin to see the world as a dovah. MQ306PaarthurnaxIntroTopic So, it is done. Alduin dilon. The Eldest is no more, he who came before all others, and has always been. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Haven't you been listening to me? All the old tales agree that he has some means to travel to Sovngarde itself. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic There he devours the souls of the heroic dead to feed his power. You must find his portal to Sovngarde before he returns, stronger than ever. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic The old tales say that he can travel into Sovngarde to devour the souls of the dead. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic You must find out how he does this, before he regains his strength and returns. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic And with that, the tour is over. I thank you for your patronage, and I hope to see you again soon! MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Don't let this innocent-looking flute fool you, for this is the Dancer's Pipe. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Legend holds that the Dancer's Pipe has won wars, toppled empires and changed the very course of history. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic None know its origins, but the stories say that men who hear its music are compelled to dance uncontrollably, no matter the peril. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic To activate this strange power, one must only speak the magic words, which are... MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Oh my, I very nearly got us both into a nasty predicament, didn't I? MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Ah, now here is an item out of legend. This is Ysgramor's Soup Spoon. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Now, I know what you're thinking - this is no spoon, it's a fork! Nobody can eat soup with a fork! MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Well, my friend, you did not know Ysgramor. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Here is the Book of Fate, discovered in a secret room in the Arcane University. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic The writing in the book describes the destiny of its reader, so the words change from one person to the next. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Some see only blank pages, and nobody knows why. Perhaps some of us are born with no destiny, or maybe the blank pages signify an imminent death. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic These tools were found in a crypt outside Windhelm. They belonged to the ancient Nords who dwelt in Skyrim before the days of the First Empire. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic Most scholars believe that the Nords of old used these implements to prepare their dead for burial. MQAlduinInSovngardeTopic What macabre mysteries would these tools reveal if they could but speak? MQAlduinSlenTiidVo Slen Tiid Vo! MQAlduinTaunt1 Fen du hin sille ko Sovngarde! MQAlduinTaunt2 Zu'u lost daal. MQAlduinTaunt3 Kel drey ni viik. MQAlduinTaunt4 Di kiirre fen alok. MQAlduinTaunt5 Daar Lein los dii. MQAlduinTaunt6 Hin sil fen nahkip bahloki. MQAlduinTaunt7 Pahlok joorre! Hin kah fen kos bonaar. MQAlduinTaunt8 Zu'u Alduin, zok sahrot do naan ko Lein. MQAlduinTaunt9 Nust wo ni qiilaan fen kos duaan. MQArngeirDragonbornTopic Dragons have the inborn ability to learn and project their Voice. Dragons also are able to absorb the power of their slain brethren. MQArngeirDragonbornTopic A few mortals are born with similar abilities -- whether a gift or a curse has been a matter of debate down through the centuries. MQArngeirDragonbornTopic What you have already learned in a few days took even the most gifted of us years to achieve. MQArngeirDragonbornTopic Some believe that Dragonborn are sent into the world by the gods, at times of great need. We will speak more of that later, when you are ready. MQArngeirDragonsA1 Good. Then you will be ready for whatever lies ahead. MQArngeirDragonsA2 There is indeed much that we know that you do not. That does not mean that you are ready to understand it. MQArngeirDragonsA2 Do not let your easy mastery of the Voice tempt you into the arrogance of power that has been the downfall of many Dragonborn before you. MQArngeirGreybeardsTopic Master Einarth is waiting. MQArngeirGreybeardsTopic You must feel the Word within yourself. MQArngeirGreybeardsTopic You learn quickly, as only a Dragonborn can. MQArngeirGreybeardsTopic Master Borri is waiting. MQArngeirJurgenWindcallerTopic He was a great war leader of the ancient Nords, a master of the Voice, or Tongue. MQArngeirJurgenWindcallerTopic After the disaster at Red Mountain, where the Nord army was annihilated, he spent many years pondering the meaning of that terrible defeat. MQArngeirJurgenWindcallerTopic He finally came to realize that the gods had punished the Nords for their arrogant and blasphemous misuse of the Voice. MQArngeirJurgenWindcallerTopic He was the first to understand that the Voice should be used solely for the glory and worship of the gods, not the glory of men. MQArngeirJurgenWindcallerTopic Jurgen Windcaller's mastery of the Voice eventually overcame all opposition, and the Way of the Voice was born. MQArngeirNoSpeakTopic The others do not speak. Their Voices are too powerful for you to withstand. MQArngeirPaarthurnaxTopic As I said, you will know you are ready when your Voice can open the path to him. MQArngeirShoutingTopic Dragons have always been able to Shout. Language is intrinsic to their very being. MQArngeirShoutingTopic There is no difference in the dragon tongue between debating and fighting. Shouting comes as naturally to a dragon as breathing, or speaking. MQArngeirShoutingTopic In mythic times, when mortalkind was in great need, the goddess Kynareth granted us the ability to speak as dragons do. MQArngeirShoutingTopic For most people, long years of training are required to learn even the simplest Shout. MQArngeirShoutingTopic But for you, the dragon speech is in your blood, and you learn it almost without effort. MQArngeirShoutingTopic When you Shout, you speak in the language of dragons. Thus, your Dragon Blood gives you an inborn ability to learn Words of Power. MQDelphineBladesTopic The Thalmor happened. They've been hunting down every Blade they can find for the past thirty years. MQDelphineBladesTopic Thanks to the White-Gold Concordat, they've been able to operate throughout the Empire with impunity. MQDelphineBlockingTopic Mind your own business. MQDelphineBlockingTopic We've got nothing to talk about. MQDelphineBlockingTopic Leave me alone. MQDelphineConcordat The Great War... only thirty years past and already ancient history to most people. MQDelphineConcordat Seems to me like it just ended... it's never really ended for me. MQDelphineConcordat But to answer your question, the White-Gold Concordat was the fancy name they put on the peace treaty between the Empire and the Thalmor. MQDelphineConcordat It ended the war and saved the Empire to fight another day. MQDelphineConcordat Also trampled on the sacred name of Talos, and gave the Thalmor free reign to stamp out Talos worship throughout the Empire. MQDelphineDragonbornTopic The Blades have always guarded and guided the Dragonborn. But we'd forgotten why. MQDelphineDragonbornTopic Now our purpose is clear. I'm all that's left of the Blades, and you're the Dragonborn. MQDelphineDragonbornTopic Together we're going to stop these dragons, if we have to put every last one of them back in the ground. MQDelphineDragonbornTopic Dragons are coming back, and you're a born dragonslayer. That's all you need to know right now. MQDelphineGreybeardsAfraidOfPower If they had their way, you'd do nothing but sit up on their mountain with them and talk to the sky, or whatever it is they do. MQDelphineGreybeardsAfraidOfPower The Greybeards are so afraid of power that they won't use it. MQDelphineGreybeardsAfraidOfPower Think about it. Have they tried to stop the civil war, or done anything about Alduin? MQDelphineGreybeardsAfraidOfPower No. And they're afraid of you, of your power. MQDelphineGreybeardsAfraidOfPower Trust me, there's no need to be afraid. Think of Tiber Septim. Do you think he'd have founded the Empire if he'd listened to the Greybeards? MQDelphineGreybeardsTopic Yes... yes, that's an excellent idea. Who knows what other lost treasures we might discover? MQDelphineGreybeardsTopic Well, I'm going to look around some more. See what the old Blades left for us. MQDelphineGreybeardsTopic I know the prophecy by heart. Once all Blades knew it. MQDelphineGreybeardsTopic Here are the Akaviri - the Blades - you see their distinctive longswords. MQDelphineGreybeardsTopic Now they kneel, their ancient mission fulfilled, as the Last Dragonborn contends with Alduin at the end of time. MQDelphineGreybeardsTopic We should keep moving. MQDelphineGreybeardsTopic We'd best be careful in here. MQDelphineGreybeardsTopic It's starting to look like Esbern was right. MQDelphineJusticiars Part of the cost of peace. Emperor Titus Mede saved his Empire at a very high price. A price that included the Blades. MQDelphineJusticiars The Nords didn't like the peace treaty much either. Thirty years later, the Empire ends up with the Stormcloak rebellion on its hands. MQDelphineJusticiars No doubt exactly as the Thalmor intended. MQDelphineThalmorLongVersion They're the rulers of the Aldmeri Dominion - what used to be the Imperial provinces of Summerset Isle and Valenwood. MQDelphineThalmorLongVersion The Thalmor take the arrogance of high elves to the extreme - they believe they are the rightful rulers of all of Tamriel. MQDelphineThalmorLongVersion For a century or more, the Thalmor had been picking away at the Empire. Valenwood was the first, then the province of Elsweyr. MQDelphineThalmorLongVersion But even the Blades didn't see the Great War coming. We underestimated the Thalmor, and they destroyed us. MQDelphineThalmorShortVersion Since then, they've been working to weaken the Empire any way they can. MQDelphineThalmorShortVersion They're the high elves that rule the Aldmeri Dominion. Sworn enemies of the Empire and everything it stands for. MQDelphineThalmorShortVersion Thirty years ago, they invaded the Empire and came close to destroying it. They smashed the Blades in the process. MQDelphineThisOnesMine This one's mine. MQDragonbornTopic Well, in the old tales, the Dragonborn heroes would use the power of their Voice to defeat the enemies of Skyrim. MQDragonbornTopic Wulfharth was Dragonborn. Talos, too - the founder of the Empire, back in the good old days. MQDragonbornTopic In the very oldest tales, back from when there still were dragons in Skyrim, the Dragonborn would slay dragons and steal their power. MQDragonbornTopic It means you have the Dragon Blood - you have an inborn ability to use your Voice the way dragons do. MQDragonbornTopic The old tales tell of Dragonborn heroes who slew dragons and took their power. MQDragonbornTopic It seems those tales are true. MQDragonbornTopic With the dragons returning, and now a Dragonborn appearing... maybe the Greybeards know what it all means. MQDragonbornTopic It means you can kill dragons and steal their power - even speak with a dragon's voice, they say. MQDragonbornTopic There hasn't been a Dragonborn seen in the land for centuries. Not since Talos himself walked the 7,000 Steps to High Hrothgar. MQDragonbornTopic I don't know much. Only the old tales about the ancient heroes who would use the Voice to defeat the enemies of Skyrim. MQDragonbornTopic They say the Emperors used to be Dragonborn, but that all ended when Martin died during the Oblivion Crisis. MQDragonbornTopic The Greybeards can tell you much more than I can. They're the masters of the Way of the Voice and taught Tiber Septim himself. MQDragonbornTopic The only thing I remember is the old story of Tiber Septim being called Dragonborn by the Nords, before they switched sides and joined the Empire. MQDragonbornTopic No doubt those Greybeards up at High Hrothgar will talk your ear off about it. MQEsbernBlockingFriendsFindOutSorry If my friends find out you've been bothering me, you'll be very sorry! MQEsbernBlockingGoAway Go away! MQEsbernBlockingGoAwayDUPLICATE000DUPLICATE000 Go away! Leave me alone! MQEsbernBlockingGoAwayDUPLICATE000DUPLICATE000 Very good. MQEsbernBlockingGoAwayDUPLICATE000DUPLICATE000 That's all, hmm? MQEsbernBlockingGoAwayDUPLICATE000DUPLICATE000 Goodbye then. MQEsbernBlockingGoAwayDUPLICATE000DUPLICATE000 Su'um ahrk morah. MQEsbernBlockingGoAwayDUPLICATE000DUPLICATE000 Lok, Thu'um. MQEsbernBlockingNotOpeningDoor I'm not opening this door, so you might as well leave me alone. MQEsbernBlockingVeryDangerous I'm very dangerous! Don't make me come out there and hurt you! MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic Haven't you been paying attention to anything I've said? Only you can finally defeat Alduin and avert the end of the world! MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic If we can just find out what this Dragonrend Shout is, you may have a chance. MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic Or not. There's no guarantee with prophecy. Merely hope. MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic Haven't you been paying attention to anything I've said? Only you can finally defeat Alduin and avert the end of the world! MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic If we can just find out what Shout the ancient Nords used, you may have a chance. MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic Or not. There's no guarantee with prophecy. Merely hope. MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic It's the prophecy, don't you see? Only a Dragonborn can stop Alduin and avert the end of the world! MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic But... I don't yet know how you can stop him. The prophecy doesn't say. But Alduin's Wall does. I hope. MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic Not yet, not yet. When we get to Riverwood... with Delphine... I'll tell you both then, when I've collected my thoughts. MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic I never expected... well, suddenly here you are and now I'm too muddled to explain myself. MQEsbernWhyDragonbornImportantTopic I still need some time to get used to the idea that there might be hope for us after all. MQGreybeardsTopic They live in seclusion on the slopes of the Throat of the World, the great mountain of Skyrim. MQGreybeardsTopic They're masters of the Way of the Voice. If you really are Dragonborn, they're the ones who can teach you how to use your power. MQGreybeardsTopic Near as I can tell, a bunch of ancient Nord hermits who live on top of a mountain. MQGreybeardsTopic Never heard of them talking to anybody before. If they really do want to talk to you, you'd better go find out what they want. You never know. MQGreybeardsTopic They're the Masters of the Way of the Voice - of Shouting. They live up on top of the Throat of the World. MQGreybeardsTopic If you're really Dragonborn, they'll want to talk to you. In the old stories, they always summon the Dragonborn for training. MQGreybeardsTopic Ulfric can tell you more than most anyone. He was studying to be a Greybeard himself, back before the Great War. MQGreybeardsUlfricA1 I studied with them when I was young. They taught me how to Shout. MQPaarthurnaxA1 I knew we could count on you! Glad to have you back on our side. MQPaarthurnaxA1 At long last. An ancient evil is avenged. The shades of many Blades salute you this day. MQPaarthurnaxA2 Here's the big picture. He helped Alduin enslave our ancestors. He may have betrayed Alduin in the end, but that makes him worse, not better. MQPaarthurnaxA2 We can't afford to give Paarthurnax the opportunity to betray us in turn, and return to his old master. MQPaarthurnaxA2 Paarthurnax was the author of many atrocities during the Dragon War - crimes great enough to be remembered for thousands of years. MQPaarthurnaxA2 True, he turned traitor to Alduin and helped overthrow the Dragon Cult, but that does not excuse or expiate his previous deeds. MQPaarthurnaxA2 Whether or not he has truly repented, or merely acted to save himself, justice demands that he pay with his life. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirAlduinsAlly If not for Paarthurnax, Alduin could not have been overthrown. It was he that first taught men to use the Thu'um. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirAlduinsAlly Yes. But understand - during the days of Alduin's rule, all dragons were his allies. There was nothing else they could be. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic This is how you repay our trust? Paarthurnax's trust? MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic His noble spirit... the wisdom of ages... his deep understanding of our existence... all gone, and for what? MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic A mindless vendetta urged on you by a cabal of Akaviri barbarians! MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic Begone, before even my philosophy is tested beyond the breaking point. We are men of peace, and you are not. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic My oath binds me, Dragonborn. Until Paarthurnax is dead, you aren't welcome here. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic Do the right thing. Paarthurnax deserves to die. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic We have nothing to talk about until Paarthurnax is dead. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic You shouldn't be here, unless you've decided to bring Paarthurnax to justice. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic What further business do you have with us? MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic You have made your choice, Dragonborn. You are not welcome here. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirBlockingTopic Speak, and then begone. MQPaarthurnaxArngeirNothingToSay We have nothing to say to each other. Paarthurnax's murder is beyond my powers of forgiveness. MQPaarthurnaxGreybeardsB1 The same could be said for any of us, could it not? Are you so guiltless as to stand in judgment upon Paarthurnax? MQPaarthurnaxGreybeardsB1 Listen to your inner Voice before acting. Do not allow the Blades to bully you into doing something you will later regret. MQPaarthurnaxGreybeardsB1 After all, repentance is something you deny to Paarthurnax by meting out your so-called justice. MQPaarthurnaxGreybeardsB2 You're learning, Dragonborn. Doing nothing can be the wisest choice, although strangely often the most difficult. MQPaarthurnaxGreybeardsB2 I trust that you will make the right choice, in the end. Listen to the Voice that Kynareth has placed within you, and your path will be clear. MQPaarthurnaxGreybeardsB3 Kynareth has placed the Voice of wisdom within you, Dragonborn. All you need do is learn to listen to it, and your path will be clear. MQPaarthurnaxGreybeardsTopic Now you see why I've warned you against them! Bloodthirsty barbarians! MQPaarthurnaxGreybeardsTopic Speak, if you have aught to say worth the listening. MQPaarthurnaxIntroA1 Paarthurnax. The dragon, that the Greybeards have been protecting for all these years. MQPaarthurnaxIntroA1 He's a dragon. Not just any dragon, but the right hand of Alduin, responsible for many atrocities during the ancient Dragon War. MQPaarthurnaxIntroA2 That's fine. We needed his help. Now we don't, and it's long past time for him to pay for his crimes. MQPaarthurnaxIntroA2 And he's not just any dragon. He was the right hand of Alduin. MQPaarthurnaxIntroA2 He committed atrocities so infamous they are still remembered, thousands of years later. MQPaarthurnaxIntroA2 All well and good. But did you know that he was Alduin's chief lieutenant in ancient times? Responsible for terrible atrocities? MQPaarthurnaxIntroA2 It's true that his crimes are long in the past, but justice does not count the passage of years. MQPaarthurnaxIntroB1 He needs to die. He deserves to die. And it falls to you to kill him. MQPaarthurnaxIntroB1 Until he's dead... well, I'm sorry, but we would dishonor our oaths as Blades if we continued to help you. MQPaarthurnaxIntroB1 The Blades have been hunting him for centuries, but he was protected by the Greybeards and then the Emperors. MQPaarthurnaxIntroB1 Justice demands that he die for his crimes. Until he is dead, I'm afraid my oath as a Blade prevents me from offering you aid and comfort. MQPaarthurnaxIntroTopic There's one more thing. We know about Paarthurnax. MQPaarthurnaxIntroTopic I'm afraid there's a further problem. A serious one. I've discovered who the Greybeards' leader really is. MQPaarthurnaxIntroTopic I'm afraid there's a problem. A serious one. I've discovered who the Greybeards' leader really is. MQPaarthurnaxTopic Have you decided to do the right thing, Dragonborn? MQPaarthurnaxTopic I wish there were another way, Dragonborn, but it falls to you to serve justice upon Paarthurnax. MQPaarthurnaxTopic Make your choice, Dragonborn. You're either with us or against us. MQPaarthurnaxTopic Justice can be harsh. But it is still justice. Paarthurnax deserves to die. MQThalmorDelphineWhyHunting When I was young, our leaders became obsessed with the Thalmor threat. MQThalmorDelphineWhyHunting They believed that if and when we found a Dragonborn, we would need to protect her against the Thalmor. MQThalmorDelphineWhyHunting When I was young, our leaders became obsessed with the Thalmor threat. MQThalmorDelphineWhyHunting They believed that if and when we found a Dragonborn, we would need to protect him against the Thalmor. MQThalmorDelphineWhyHunting We hurt them in the past, and they have long memories. MQThalmorDelphineWhyHuntingCont Turns out, we fatally underestimated the Thalmor. They smashed us with ease during the Great War. MQThalmorDelphineWhyHuntingCont I was one of the few who escaped. For a long time, all I cared about was staying alive, and taking revenge on the Thalmor when I could. MQThalmorDelphineWhyHuntingCont But then the dragons returned. And I remembered that the Blades used to be dragonslayers. MQThalmorDelphineWhyHuntingCont And that we were sworn to protect the Dragonborn, the greatest dragonslayer of all. MQThalmorTopic Hmm. There's no simple answer to that. You want the long version or the short version? MQThalmorTopic Hey, I told you not to ask any questions. Now, here. For your trouble. MQThalmorTopic Yes. The man came by at noon just like you said. I gave him the package and he gave me this pouch for you. MQThalmorTopic The package was heavy... I needed his help getting it on his horse. What was inside? MQThalmorTopic Did you do everything I said, Shadr? MQThalmorTopic Whatever you say. MQThalmorTopic I'm watching you, Grelka. One slip up and I report you to the guards. You got that? MQThalmorTopic I don't know what he's talking about. He must be seeing things. MQThalmorTopic Aerin tells me you might be dealing arms to the Thieves Guild. Is this true? MQThalmorTopic I'll contact my man tonight and let you know what he says. MQThalmorTopic I don't care what it costs. I need four longbows and four score of arrows. Just make it happen. MQThalmorTopic I don't usually deal in weapons, but I know someone who can get them for me. You mind paying a little extra to get them fast? MQThalmorTopic Grelka, how fast can you get your hands on some longbows? MQThalmorTopic All right, all right. Just bring it to me tomorrow and I'll fix it for you. MQThalmorTopic Why should I pay for a repair on something I just bought? MQThalmorTopic Fine. It'll be five septims to repair it. MQThalmorTopic Grelka, I wanted to talk about that suit of leather armor you sold me. The fasteners are already coming loose. MQThalmorTopic Oh, well... I suppose that's a noble cause. I'll settle this bill at the end of the day. Thank you. MQThalmorTopic I believe she's trying to look as ravishing as possible for you, milord. MQThalmorTopic Right. Happy trails. MQThalmorTopic Orgnar. I'm travelling. You've got the inn 'til I get back. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsA1 Yes. The oldest and most powerful, although he may not seem so. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsA1 I doubt he's forgiven me for leaving. And for... well, for what he'd consider blasphemy. Using Shouts for anything but worship of Kynareth. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsA2 Yes. Although I rarely use my training. The Greybeards believe the Voice should be used only for worship of Kynareth. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsA2 I have... fallen from their strict teaching, but I still don't feel it should be used lightly. Not all of Arngeir's lecturing was wasted, it seems. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsA3 You're Dragonborn. The rules don't apply to you. You can Shout the way dragons do... without training, through inborn instinct. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsA3 They always hope to teach the Dragonborn to respect the Way of the Voice as they do. They never fully succeed. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsA3 You'll have to make your own decision. It's a beautiful philosophy, but outside the seclusion of High Hrothgar, I was never able to hold to it. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic Yes. They chose me when I was just a lad. It was a great honor, of course. I was to become a Greybeard myself. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic I spent almost ten years at High Hrothgar, learning the Way of the Voice. Then the Great War came... I couldn't stand missing it. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic I often think about High Hrothgar. It's very... disconnected from the troubles down here. But that's why I couldn't stay, and why I couldn't go back. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic I suppose the Greybeards care about Skyrim's troubles, in their way, but I needed to do something about it. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic I'm sure Arngeir would call it one of my failings. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic Yes, my lord. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic Back to business, Proventus. We still have a city to defend. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic No matter. Go to High Hrothgar. Learn what the Greybeards can teach you. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic I envy you, you know. To climb the 7,000 Steps again... I made the pilgrimage once, did you know that? MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic High Hrothgar is a very peaceful place. Very... disconnected from the troubles of this world. MQUlfricTrainWithGreybeardsTopic I wonder that the Greybeards even notice what's going on down here. They haven't seemed to care before. MQVoicePowerTopic In the old tales, Nord heroes would use the power of their Voice to Shout down the gates of cities and strike down their enemies. MQVoicePowerTopic But only the Greybeards study the Way of the Voice any more. If you can Shout... you need to talk to them. MQVoicePowerTopic Old Nord folk tales always talk about Shouting their enemies to pieces. I always thought it was just a myth. MQVoicePowerTopic If you think you might be able to do that kind of thing, the Legion could certainly use your help. MQVoicePowerTopic Go talk to the Greybeards, see what they can tell you. MQVoicePowerTopic Well, I only know what I've heard in the old tales. Shouting is an ancient form of magic - the use of one's voice to project their power. MQVoicePowerTopic If you can Shout, you need to go see the Greybeards. They'll know what to do. MQVoicePowerTopic I know more than most. I trained with the Greybeards at High Hrothgar when I was a boy. MQVoicePowerTopic The Way of the Voice is an ancient, spiritual form of magic in which you project your vital essence into a "thu'um" or Shout. MQVoicePowerTopic Most people would need to train for years before they could even attempt a single Shout. MQVoicePowerTopic The Dragonborn is different - you have an inborn ability to Shout, the same way dragons are said to. MS01AmbushResponseTopic02 You'll never see the sun again, you hear me? No one escapes Cidhna Mine. MS01AmbushResponseTopic02 No one. MS01AmbushResponseTopic03 You'll never leave Markarth! MS01BlockingTopic03 This is a private home, and the master of the house is a very old man. He's not to be disturbed. MS01EltrysBlockingShrineBranch01EntryTopic I'm sorry to drag you into Markarth's problems, but after that attack in the market, I'm running out of time. MS01EltrysBlockingShrineBranch01EntryTopic You're an outsider. You're dangerous-looking. You'll do. MS01EltrysBlockingShrineBranch01EntryTopic Changed your mind? Ready to find out the truth about Markarth? MS01EltrysBlockingShrineBranch01Topic01 Gaius Maro still lives. I am surprised. I had assumed you were more... competent. MS01EltrysBlockingShrineBranch01Topic03 This has been going on for years. And all I've been able to find is murder and blood. I need help. MS01EltrysBlockingShrineBranch01Topic03 Please. You find out why that woman was attacked, who's behind Weylin and the Forsworn, and I'll pay you for any information you bring me. MS01EltrysBlockingShrineBranch01Topic04 You want to walk away? Fine. But there's going to be no justice for that poor woman. No one to care what happened to her. MS01EltrysFirstMeetingShared01 You want answers? Well so do I. So does everyone in this city. MS01EltrysFirstMeetingShared01 A man goes crazy in the market. Everyone knows he's a Forsworn agent. Guards do nothing. Nothing but clean up the mess. MS01EltrysForceGreetEntryTopic Gods. A woman attacked right on the streets. MS01EltrysForceGreetEntryTopic Are you all right? Did you see what happened? MS01EltrysForceGreetResponseTopic01 I'm so sorry. I hope the Eight give you more peace in the future. MS01EltrysForceGreetResponseTopic02 The Forsworn? Strange. Well, I hope the Eight give you more peace in the future, for what it's worth. MS01EltrysForceGreetResponseTopic03 You don't have to say sorry to me. I just hope the Eight bring us more peace in the future. MS01EltrysForswornTopic They're remnants of the old rulers of Markarth. Natives of the Reach. Followers of the old ways. MS01EltrysForswornTopic The Nords drove them out of the city. Ulfric Stormcloak and his men. That was about 20 years ago. MS01EltrysForswornTopic But somehow they're still here, and they're killing people. MS01EltrysMargetTopic She's not from Markarth. The air about her screamed "outsider." MS01EltrysMargetTopic Visitors to the city usually stay at the Silver-Blood Inn. MS01EltrysNotAtShrineAttackTopicTopic No. I was just getting some fresh air. Had one too many pints of mead at the Silver-Blood Inn. MS01EltrysNotAtShrineNoteTopic My note? No, that's yours. Must have fallen out of your pocket. MS01EltrysNotAtShrineTalosTopicTopic Huh. Not sure. I don't worship Talos, myself. MS01EltrysNotAtShrineTalosTopicTopic I think I heard someone mention it was underneath the Temple of Dibella, in the big crag in the center of the city. MS01EltrysNoteTopic Oh, I think you dropped this. Some kind of note. Looks important. MS01EltrysWeylinTopic He was one of the smelter workers. I used to have a job down there myself, casting silver ingots. MS01EltrysWeylinTopic I never knew much about Weylin, except he lives in the Warrens, like all the other workers. MS01EltrysWhyTopic Yes. It all started when I was a boy. My father owned one of the mines. Rare for anyone who isn't a Nord. MS01EltrysWhyTopic He was killed. Guards said it was just a madman, but everyone knew the murderer was a member of the Forsworn. MS01EltrysWhyTopic I've been trying to find out why ever since. Gotten nowhere so far, and then I got married. Have a child of my own on the way. MS01EltrysWhyTopic I swore I was going to just give up, for my child's sake, but it's like my father's ghost is haunting me. Asking me "Why?" MS01ForswornThreatenSceneBlockingTopic You've been digging around where you don't belong. MS01ForswornThreatenSceneBlockingTopic It's time you learned a lesson. MS01ForswornThreatenSceneBlockingTopic You again. Guess you need another lesson, huh? MS01ForswornThreatenSceneBlockingTopic Nepos is in charge. That's all I know. MS01ForswornThreatenSceneTopic01 Let's go! MS01ForswornThreatenSceneTopic02 Someone who doesn't like you asking questions. MS01ForswornThreatenSceneTopic03 You'll listen to this. MS01GarveyBribe Welcome to the Warrens. MS01GarveyBribe No, I don't think so. MS01GarveyGiveKeyTopic Sorry, but you don't exactly belong here. MS01GarveyIntimidate Now don't get all upset. Here. Take it. MS01GarveyIntimidate And I wasn't stuttering. No key. MS01GarveyLeave Right. MS01GarveyPersuade Trust is hard to come by here, but all right. MS01GarveyPersuade No. It's not. Trust me. MS01GarveyWarrensTopic It's where you go if you can't afford a room anywhere else. About the time they opened the mines, someone got the idea to throw beds in here. MS01GarveyWarrensTopic Laborers. The sick. The lame. We're all here. MS01GarveyWeylinTopic Oh yes. I know everyone who sleeps in the Warrens. Kind of the one who passes the keys around. MS01GarveyWeylinTopic I guess someone else will be taking his room, now. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We warned you, but you just had to go and cause trouble. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Now we have to pin all these recent murders on you. Silence witnesses. Work. Work. Work. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic He's proud of his service, Skald. The Legion taught us loyalty. And we're loyal to Dawnstar. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Your man Horik is wearing his old Legion armor. What should I make of that? MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Just say the word, and my men will help you spring this trap. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Yes, I'm ready to do my part. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic This is quite an achievement, Dragonborn. And General Tullius. Riften is ours! MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Giving up Markarth is a heavy price for this truce, Dragonborn. I hope it was worth it. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic I admit, I really didn't expect you'd be able to arrange a truce. Getting Ulfric to agree to anything at all is quite an achievement. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Come on Galmar. We have a lot of work to do. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Well that's an excellent question. You haven't overlooked that little detail, have you? MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Jarl Baalgruf, I assume you are familiar with the Dragonborn's plan? MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Don't listen to him. Ulfric's been telling lies about himself for so long, he's actually starting to believe them. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic For what it's worth, I'm sorry to see you go. You fought well for us. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic I'm willing to let the Dragonborn decide the fairness of my request. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic I guess I have no choice but to let the Dragonborn decide. Although I'm starting to doubt your fairness. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Why would I give you that, if I wouldn't give you Riften? MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic What next, Tullius? Shall I just hand over all of Skyrim? MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Barleydark Farm. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Riverwood. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Rorikstead. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Karthwasten. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Old Hroldan. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Kolskeggr Mine. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Stonehills. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Frost River Farm. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Granite Hill. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Half-moon Mill. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Heljarchen. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Anga's Mill. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Loreius Farm. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Whistling Mine. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Ivarstead. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Shor's Stone. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Heartwood Mill. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want compensation for the massacre at Sarethi Farm. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want Hjaalmarch back, and Idgrod Ravencrone restored as Jarl. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic You withdraw from Falkreath, and allow Siddgeir to resume his rightful place as Jarl. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want the Pale returned to Imperial control. The traitor Skald the Elder will be replaced with a more loyal candidate. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic We want Kraldar removed as Jarl of Winterhold, and an Imperial candidate put in his place. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Never mind. I can see that these are the best terms we'll get from this council. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic So be it. The Empire at least puts the greater good above our own interests. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Shor's bones, where will these demands end? MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Damn Imperial arrogance! MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic You see what talking to them gets us? MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic I'm listening. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Let's hear it. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Out with it, then. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic If we're not going to get Riften, we need you to give us something. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic You know as well as I do that that we can't hand over Markarth on these terms. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic You know I can't agree to these terms. The Emperor would repudiate this treaty and I would be recalled. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Don't hand me a mug of sheep's piss and call it Colovian brandy. These terms are still not acceptable. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Come on, Ulfric. You have to give a little ground here. The dragons are a threat to us both. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic Now, back to the matter at hand. MS01GuardAmbushQuestForcegreetTopic I suppose that's the fairest deal we're likely to get. MS01GuardAmbushQuestTopic01 We have a nice arrangement in this city, and we're not letting you get in the way. MS01GuardAmbushQuestTopic01 You have a problem wth that? Take it up with Madanach. I'm sure the King in Rags and his Forsworn would love to meet you. MS01GuardAmbushQuestTopic01 Now you're coming with us. It's a life sentence in Cidhna Mine for you. MS01GuardAmbushQuestTopic02 You think you're the only one who knows that? We had a nice little deal going between Thonar and Madanach until you showed up. MS01GuardAmbushQuestTopic02 You'll have plenty of time to take it up with the King in Rags while you're serving a life sentence in Cidhna Mine. MS01GuardAmbushQuestTopic03 Same thing we do with all the other natives who want to change things around here. MS01GuardAmbushQuestTopic03 We had a nice little deal going between Thonar and Madanach until you and Eltrys started snooping around. MS01GuardAmbushQuestTopic03 Well, you wanted to find the man responsible for those killings? You'll have plenty of time with the King in Rags when you're in Cidhna mine. MS01GuardBlockingTopic We'll handle things from here. Move along. MS01GuardBlockingTopic The Forsworn. Here inside the city. MS01GuardBlockingTopic He was after Margret. Why? MS01GuardBlockingTopic Damn. Another body to get rid of. MS01GuardBlockingTopic Betrid. No! We had a deal you Forsworn bastards! MS01GuardBlockingTopic Why? We had a deal Madanach. A deal! MS01GuardBlockingTopic Traitors. Traitors all of you! MS01GuardBlockingTopic The Reach belongs to the Forsworn! MS01GuardBlockingTopic Biding his time until what? Until another person is lying dead in the streets? Don't be naive. MS01GuardBlockingTopic Please. Those savages are no match for us. The Jarl is just biding his time. MS01GuardBlockingTopic The Jarl is refusing to dispatch men to the front lines. Do you think it's because of the Forsworn threat? MS01GuardBlockingTopic You're being paranoid. We're in control of Markarth. Not the Forsworn. MS01GuardBlockingTopic Yeah, but she was a Nord. And a noble. Perfect Forsworn target. MS01GuardBlockingTopic I think it was Margret. Poor woman, she was just visiting the city from Cyrodiil. MS01GuardBlockingTopic Someone was attacked in the market. Do you know who it was? MS01GuardBlockingTopic Now you're being ridiculous. This is our city. Not theirs. MS01GuardBlockingTopic This was their city once. They won't stop until we're all dead. MS01GuardBlockingTopic The Jarl has things under control. Don't you worry. MS01GuardBlockingTopic A Forsworn agent. Running loose in the city. The Jarl is going to hear about this. MS01GuardTalk01 I said move along. The Forsworn are just a bunch of madmen. We have everything under control. Stay out of it. MS01GuardTalk02 That's right. It isn't. MS01GuardThreatenSceneBlockingTopic You. I've seen you snooping around. Asking questions. MS01GuardThreatenSceneBlockingTopic Back off. You don't want to know what happens to troublemakers here. MS01GuardThreatenSceneBlockingTopic You've been warned, outsider. MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue This is your last warning, outsider. We keep the peace, here. Stay out of our business. MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue Let's not jump to conclusions. We'll do all the research we need to figure out what we're dealing with. MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue Something arcane. Very old, very powerful. Do you think...? MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue He proposed that the real reason Saarthal was fought over by the Elves and the Nords was because something was unearthed there. MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue I don't see the relevance. MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue "Night of Tears", by Dranor Seleth. Old book, one I'd forgotten about. This thing here... it might be what the book was about. MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue Here's something to consider, Mirabelle. MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue I feel better already. MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue Gods bless you, healer. MS01GuardThreatenSceneInvisibleContinue Thank you. The pain is already easing. MS01GuardThreatenSceneTopic01 Funny. MS01GuardThreatenSceneTopic02 You're finding it. That's bad enough. MS01GuardThreatenSceneTopic03 We'll see. MS01GuardThreatenSceneWalkaway You've been warned. MS01HogniBlockingTopic Did you see that madman? A Forsworn agent. Here in the city. MS01HogniTopic01 Think he worked down at the smelter. Lot of the laborers there are sympathetic to the Forsworn. MS01HogniTopic01 They promise people they'll kill off all the Nords that rule over the Reach. Nothing but murderers and saboteurs. MS01HogniTopic02 Didn't you just see that woman getting attacked in front of us? We're closed. MS01InnHogniTopic Who? You mean that woman who was attacked in the market? MS01InnHogniTopic Didn't know her. Guards dragged her body away. Last we'll hear of that. MS01InnHogniTopic Who? You mean that woman who was attacked in the market the other day? MS01InnHogniTopic Don't know her. Guards dragged that Forsworn's body away, though. Last we'll hear of that. MS01InnkeeperBribeTopic Well, I guess Margret isn't around to complain. It's yours. MS01InnkeeperBribeTopic Sorry. Margret might be dead, but the room's rented. MS01InnkeeperIntimidateTopic All right. I don't want any trouble. It's yours. MS01InnkeeperIntimidateTopic Are you serious? I hear more threatening words from my wife. MS01InnkeeperIntimidateTopic Are you serious? I say more threatening words to my husband. MS01InnkeeperKeyTopic Of course. But I can't just hand that over. Privacy, after all. MS01InnkeeperNeverMindTopic Did you need anything else? MS01InnkeeperPersuade Well, you seem like the honest sort. Here you are. MS01InnkeeperPersuade Right. You adventuring types would never go into a room just to steal everything. MS01InnkeeperTopic Ah, yes. Rented the nicest room we had for a whole month. MS01InnkeeperTopic I think she's sitting by the fire. Poor girl. MS01InnkeeperTopic Ah, yes. Rented the nicest room we had for a whole month. MS01InnkeeperTopic Best we all forget about her. Bad luck to talk about the dead in Markarth. MS01InnkeeperTopic Oh yeah. Pretty little thing. Been sitting by the fire all day. MS01InnkeeperTopic Oh yeah. Pretty little thing. Had a room here I think. Ask the innkeeper. MS01InnkeeperTopic Aye. She's by the fire. MS01InnkeeperTopic I remember her. Her stance. The way she walked. A trained warrior, no doubt. MS01InnkeeperTopic She had a room here. Might talk to the innkeeper about it. MS01InnKerahTopic Please. I don't want to talk about it. All that blood. MS01InnKerahTopic If you want answers, ask at the inn. She told me she was staying there. MS01JarlMarketPlaceTopic My guards told me. Poor Margret. And witnesses report that the attacker was shouting some nonsense about being a Forsworn. MS01JarlMarketPlaceTopic I want to make things clear. Markarth has its troubles, but there are no Forsworn in this city. MS01JarlMarketPlaceTopic They're only a threat in the hills and along the roads, where they live. Everywhere else, we are in control. MS01JarlMarketPlaceTopic It's unfortunate that we live in such violent times, but there you have it. MS01JarlMarketPlaceTopic Now I've been told that the attacker claimed to be a Forsworn. It's nonsense. More likely he was just sick in the head. MS01JarlMarketPlaceTopic So don't concern yourself with it. Markarth is safe. You have my word. MS01KerahBlockingTopic Margret. He... he killed her. Right in front of me. MS01KerahBlockingTopic He... he tried to kill Margret. Right in front of me. MS01KerahTopic01 She's a traveler, from the Imperial City. Came by every day looking for jewelry for her relatives back home. MS01KerahTopic01 Why would anyone want to kill her? It doesn't make any sense. MS01KerahTopic01 No. She's such a nice woman. Comes by every day looking for jewelry for her family in Cyrodiil. Is it because she's a noble? MS01KerahTopic01 Why would anyone want to kill her? It doesn't make any sense. MS01KerahTopic02 I'm sorry. I don't think I can bare to sell anything right now. MS01MargretBlockingEndTopic Rather not talk. I have to head back to Cyrodiil soon. MS01MargretBlockingTopic By the gods, that man nearly killed me. You saved my life. MS01MargretBlockingTopic Thank you. Here, I was going to bring this to my sister, but I think you should have it. MS01MargretBlockingTopic Thank you again. I can't believe I was this close to being killed. MS01MargretBlockingTopic Everyone stay back. The Markarth city guard have this all under control. There are no Forsworn here. MS01MargretBlockingTopic By the Divines, the Forsworn are here in the city! MS01MargretBlockingTopic Oh, this pendant would look lovely on my sister. MS01MargretBlockingTopic I'd appreciate if you don't bother my wife, Tova. She's still in mourning. MS01MargretBribe No. I'm telling you. There was no other reason. MS01MargretBusinessTopic Just visiting. I had some business here. That's all. MS01MargretEvidenceTopic So the clues point to the Treasury House, then. That makes sense. Thonar is involved in every facet of the city. MS01MargretEvidenceTopic Here's the gold I promised. Keep following the trail and there will be more in it for you. MS01MargretHowTopic Not much. One moment I was buying a necklace, and the rest is just a blur. MS01MargretInfoInvisibleContinue I'm one of General Tullius's agents. I was sent to investigate the Treasury House and the Silver-Blood family. MS01MargretInfoInvisibleContinue They own Cidhna Mine, one of the toughest jails in Skyrim. I was hoping I could buy or steal the deed, but I don't think that's how things work here. MS01MargretInfoInvisibleContinue Mark my words. Thonar Silver-Blood was behind that attack in the market. Somehow. MS01MargretIntimidate Or else what? You'll kill me? I already had to face that today. MS01MargretNevermind Thank you. The Eight keep you. MS01MargretPersuade Was is that obvious? Damn. I must be losing my touch. MS01MargretPersuade No. I'm not. MS01MargretTopic01 No. I don't have any idea. I was just shopping for a pendant for my sister back in the Imperial City. MS01MargretTopic02 I've heard of them. Something about the men who live in the hills and attack caravans. MS01MargretTopic02 I'm sorry. I don't know anymore. I'm just visiting here from Cyrodiil. MS01MargretWeylinTopic No. I was just buying jewelry for my sister in Cyrodiil. I've never even seen that man before. MS01MargretWeylinTopic Ha ha! Behold the final trick of the Fool of Hearts! You think me near death? Think again! MS01MulushAttackTopic Oh, yes. Weylin. Bastard could have at least gone crazy after we made our silver quota. MS01MulushBlockingTopic You're not one of my workers. What are you doing here? MS01MulushBribeTopic For that amount, I can. Fine. I did notice something odd last time we handed out the pay. MS01MulushBribeTopic Little extra slip of paper for Weylin. Took it right to his room after he got it. MS01MulushBribeTopic No. MS01MulushForswornTopic Every other day, seems one of the laborers runs off in the hills saying he'll join the Forsworn. MS01MulushForswornTopic You don't like the Nords? Fine. But pledging your whole life to killing them? That's just dumb. MS01MulushForswornTopic Don't get involved in that nonsense. Just want to work. MS01MulushForswornTopic We've lost a lot of good people to that damn crusade. Drive out the Nords, they say. Well, the Nord ain't driven out. MS01MulushIntimidate Hold, on there. I think I just remembered something. The last time we handed out pay. MS01MulushIntimidate Little extra slip of paper for Weylin. Took it right to his room. MS01MulushIntimidate Haven't up until now. MS01MulushMarketTopic What? No. Thonar Silver-Blood owns it. He owns everything in Markarth. MS01MulushMarketTopic But he hands all the paperwork over to Nepos the Nose to finish. That old man's back is heavy with burden. MS01MulushMarketTopic Me and Hathrasil mostly. Mulush barks at us all day, but I wouldn't call that honest work. MS01MulushMarketTopic A few people in the Warrens used to work here. Degaine broke some bones a while back. Eltrys quit. Cairine is too sick. MS01MulushMarketTopic Mulush. Big Orc fella. Can't miss him. MS01MulushNeverMind Hmph. MS01MulushNothingTopic Well then, look. Look all you want. And when you're done looking, maybe we can get some work done. MS01MulushPersuade Fine. I did notice something odd last time we handed out the pay. Little extra slip of paper for Weylin. Took it right to his room after he got it. MS01MulushPersuade No. I don't. MS01MulushWeylinKeyTopic You want Garvey. He handles the keys for the Warrens. About the only thing that disease-riddled native is good for. MS01MulushWeylinTopic Whatever you want to know, I don't care. I run a smelter. That's it. MS01MulushWorkersTopic You hard of hearing? I run this smelter. And I'm late meeting our silver quota. What do you want? MS01NeposBlocking2B My king. Madanach. When the uprising fell at the hands of the Nords, they threw him in the mines. MS01NeposBlocking2B I don't know how, but he lives. I get his messages, and I hand out his orders without question. MS01NeposBlockingTopic I'm sorry about my housekeeper. She's a little protective of me. MS01NeposBlockingTopic Now, what is it you want? MS01NeposBlockingTopic You heard him. Go on in. MS01NeposBlockingTopic Hmph. Yes, Nepos. MS01NeposBlockingTopic Wait. It's okay, my dear. Send him in. MS01NeposBlockingTopic Wait. It's okay, my dear. Send her in. MS01NeposBlockingTopic1B Because my king told me to. Madanach. When the uprising fell at the hands of the Nords, they threw him in the mines. MS01NeposBlockingTopic1B I don't know how, but he lives. I get his messages, and I hand out his orders without question. MS01NeposBlockingTopic3B A monster? No. I'm just a servant. To my king, Madanach. MS01NeposBlockingTopic3B When the uprising fell at the hands of the Nords, they threw him in the mines. I don't know how, but he lives. MS01NeposBlockingTopic3B I get his messages, and I hand out his orders without question. MS01NeposMadanachTopic He is the King in Rags. A man who once held all the Reach within his grip. MS01NeposMadanachTopic He stokes the passions of the downtrodden in this city. Directs them to kill the enemies of the Forsworn in our name. MS01NeposMadanachTopic All from inside Cidhna Mine. A Nord prison. The irony is quite thick. MS01NeposShared01 Ah, yes. You've proven to be a real bloodhound. Well, you've sniffed me out. MS01NeposShared01 I've been playing this game for almost 20 years. Sending the young to their deaths. All in the name of the Forsworn. And I'm tired. So tired. MS01NeposShared01 This marvelous object. It practically radiates magicka, and yet it's unlike anything I've felt before. MS01NeposUprisingTopic Markarth and the Reach are our lands. That is why we are the Forsworn. We cannot claim the home that is rightly ours. MS01NeposUprisingTopic But then during their war with the elves, we had our moment. We drove the Nords out of the Reach in a great uprising. MS01NeposUprisingTopic Then Ulfric and his men came. Those of us who didn't run were executed, except for myself, my king, and a handful of others. MS01NeposWhyInvisibleContinue You were seen coming in. The girl at the door is a Forsworn agent masquerading as a maid. MS01NeposWhyInvisibleContinue You aren't the first one to have gotten this far. You won't be the last. MS01NeposWhyTopic My dear boy, what makes you think you're getting out of here alive? MS01NeposWhyTopic My dear girl, what makes you think you're getting out of here alive? MS01OmluagWeylinTopic Really should talk to Mulush if you have a problem with one of the workers. MS01OmluagWeylinTopic The Forsworn? That's right. I'll say it. We all knew. Even that fat-headed, slave-driving Mulush knew. Just ask him about it. MS01OmluagWeylinTopic Bah. Another honest man lost in all this madness. And for what? MS01RhiadaChargeTopic You want Thonar Silver-Blood. He handles all the family business. MS01RhiadaChargeTopic If you're here to talk politics, though, you'd want his brother Thongvor. He spends most of his time in Understone Keep. MS01RhiadaPatronsTopic For one, the landowners of the Reach. It goes without saying that they rely heavily on us for our silver and support. MS01RhiadaPatronsTopic All the miners, farmers, and laborers in the Reach get their daily wages through us. MS01RhiadaPatronsTopic Nepos the Nose handles that part of our business. He has a way with the workers. MS01RhiadaSilverBloodsTopic It's an old family. Very well-respected throughout the Reach. MS01RhiadaSilverBloodsTopic The Silver-Bloods run nearly all the lands in this Hold, as well as the local inn. MS01RhiadaSilverBloodsTopic And of course, they own Cidhna Mine, the finest prison and source of silver in Skyrim. MS01RhiadaThonarTopic I'm afraid he's asked to not be disturbed. He has important business. MS01RhiadaThonarTopic01 Oh, I'm sorry to keep you. Head right in. MS01RhiadaThonarTopic01 No. He isn't. MS01RhiadaThonarTopic02 Riches are a gate-opener around here. Head right in. MS01RhiadaThonarTopic02 Private business, I mean. No visitors. MS01RhiadaThonarTopic03 Go... go right ahead then. Don't let me keep you. MS01RhiadaThonarTopic03 I must have misheard you. Did you say you were leaving? MS01RhiadaThonarTopic04 I doubt he'll be free, but all right. MS01ThonarAfterAttackInvisibleContinue They're my puppets. I have their "king" rotting in Cidhna Mine. MS01ThonarAfterAttackInvisibleContinue He was supposed to keep them under control. MS01ThonarAfterAttackTopic My wife. They killed her. MS01ThonarAfterAttackTopic Damn Madanach. Damn his Forsworn backside. MS01ThonarAfterAttackTopic What? By the gods, Betrid.... MS01ThonarAfterAttackTopic For the Forsworn! MS01ThonarAttack03 Fine. You want to know what the Forsworn really are? MS01ThonarAttackTopic01 No you're not. You want to know what the Forsworn really are? MS01ThonarAttackTopic02 Shut up. Only the gods can judge me. You want to know what the Forsworn really are? MS01ThonarBlockingTopic What are you doing here? I told them no visitors. MS01ThonarCidhnaMineTopic My prison. The source of half the silver in Skyrim. The most secure prison in Tamriel. MS01ThonarCidhnaMineTopic No one escapes. I thought keeping Madanach down there would keep him under control. MS01ThonarDealTopic When their uprising was crushed, I had Madanach brought to me. He was a wild animal, but a useful one. MS01ThonarDealTopic I offered him a stay from execution if he used his influence to deal with any annoyances that came up. Competitors, agents, idiots. MS01ThonarDealTopic So I've let him run his little Forsworn rebellion from inside Cidhna Mine. Now he's out of control. MS01ThonarFinalBlockingTopic Get of my house. Now. MS01ThonarKingTopic Madanach. The King in Rags. MS01ThonarKingTopic While we were off fighting the Elves in the Great War, Madanach was busy ruling over the Reach. MS01ThonarKingTopic Until Ulfric came and put them down. MS01ThonarMadanachDealTopic You already got what you wanted, you damn hound. This is your fault. MS01ThonarMadanachDealTopic You and Madanach are animals, and I'll see you both rot to death in Cidhna Mine for this. MS01ThonarMadanachDealTopic Now get out of my house! MS01ThonarTopic01 The Imperial agent? That's right. I knew. How many dogs is the Empire going to send after me? MS01ThonarTopic01 This is my business. My city. You Empire lovers should learn to stay out of it. MS01ThonarTopic01 Now get out. MS01ThonarTopic02 They're crazy. Think they rule the Reach. MS01ThonarTopic02 Well guess who really runs things around here? Me. I own the mines. I make the coin pass to the right hands. MS01ThonarTopic02 That answer your damn questions? Now get out. MS01ThonarTopic03 What did you expect? That no one was going to notice you butting into business that wasn't yours? MS01ThonarTopic03 The guards know who holds the purse strings in this city, and I don't like snoops. MS01ThonarTopic03 Markarth is my city. You have no right looking into my business. Now get out. MS01UaileBlockingTopic Excuse me. What's your business here? MS01UaileBlockingTopic You again. What are you doing here? MS01UaileBlockingTopic Go on in. MS01UaileBlockingTopic01 We haven't been expecting you, and the old man needs his rest. Come back some other time. MS01UaileBlockingTopic02 If you must know, I'm the maid. And the master of the house is old and needs his rest. MS01UaileBlockingTopic02 So if you don't have any business. Leave. MS01UaileBlockingTopic04 That's what I thought. MS01WeylinEvidenceTopic Nepos the Nose? He's been in Markarth forever. And he's well-respected among the natives of the Reach. MS01WeylinEvidenceTopic Good work. Here's your gold. I have a feeling Nepos gets his own orders, though. If you find out, I'll have more for you. MS02BorkulBribe Ah, now that's a good idea. Head on in. But don't try anything in there. Madanach is smarter than you think. MS02BorkulIntimidate Those eyes. All right, killer, go on through. But don't try anything. Madanach knows more than you think. MS02BorkulIntimidate That's what I was hoping you'd say. MS02BorkulNeverMind That's right. Turn around and leave. MS02BorkulPersuade Hmph. Fine. Go on in. But don't try anything in there. Madanach knows more than you think. MS02BorkulPersuade The only thing Madanach expects is a bottle of Skooma in tribute every so often. You're not getting through. MS02BorkulShiv All right, head on in. But don't try anything in there. Madanach is smarter than you think. MS02BorkulShiv Then find one. That dung heap Grisvar's been known to make a few. MS02BorkulTopic You want to talk to the King in Rags? Fine. But first you got to pay the toll. MS02BorkulTopic How about you get me a shiv? Not that I need one, but it's nice to have in case I need to do some "shaving." Ha ha. MS02BorkulTopic You ready to pay the toll? One shiv. MS02BraigForswornTopic I'm not Madanach. I was never a leader of the Forsworn. The only anger I can justify is my own. MS02BraigForswornTopic But every family in the Reach has a story like mine. There are no innocent onlookers in this struggle. Just the guilty, and the dead. MS02BraigreInvisible01 Do you have any family? Anyone waiting for you on the outside? MS02BraigreShared01 I had a daughter, once. She'd be 23 this year. Married to some hot-headed silver worker or maybe on her own learning the herb trade. MS02BraigreShared01 The Nords didn't care who was and who wasn't involved in the Forsworn Uprising. I had spoken to Madanach once, that was enough. MS02BraigreShared01 But my little Aethra didn't want to see her papa leave her. She pleaded to the Jarl to take her instead. MS02BraigreShared01 And after they made me watch as her head rolled off the block, they threw me in here anyway, to dig up their silver. MS02BraigreStoryTopic My story, huh? Everyone in Cidhna Mine has a tale. Let's hear yours first. When was the first time you felt chains around your wrists? MS02BraigreTopic01 So you know what it's like to have your life in someone else's hands. Why should they get to decide? Isn't judgment for the gods? MS02BraigreTopic02 Then you know the hard looks as judgment gets set upon you. The sneers of people who never had to face sentence. MS02BraigreTopic03 Fine. Don't tell me. But I know that look in your eyes. Someone who's faced death at the hands of the law. MS02BraigSorryTopic My daughter is the one who needs your pity. I'm just a poor Forsworn whose only regret is not killing more Nords before I was locked up. MS02EscapeBlockingBranchTopic Get moving. MS02EscapeBlockingBranchTopic I can't believe we're finally getting out. MS02EscapeBlockingBranchTopic No turning back now. MS02EscapeBlockingBranchTopic Get going. MS02EscapeBlockingBranchTopic Come on, move it. We have Nords to kill. MS02EscapeBlockingBranchTopic Glory to the Forsworn! MS02EscapeBlockingBranchTopic For the Forsworn! MS02EscapeBlockingBranchTopic We cannot fight the foe in this mist! MS02EscapeBlockingBranchTopic Clear Skies - combine our Shouts! MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic It wasn't easy getting all your things. A few guards had to have their throats slit. MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic Good work. Get ready while I have a word with our favorite outsider. MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic Madanach. I've brought what you asked for. MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic And you... you're coming with me to Dragonsreach. We'll see how quickly your memory clears in the city's prisons. MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic Now move. MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic I beg you... please. This is not what it seems! MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic Silence, idiot! I should have known better... to trust this place after it's been riddled with filth. MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic No, please! I don't understand... MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic You assured me this place was clean! I'll see... see to it that you remain in irons for the rest of your days! MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic I... I don't know. What's wrong? MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic By the Eight?! What... what's in this? MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic Shor's Bones! What... what's in this? MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic Help yourself, milord. It's my finest brew yet... I call it Honningbrew Reserve. I think you'll find it quite pleasing to your palate. MS02EscapeScene01KaieBlockingBranchTopic Well, Sabjorn. Now that you've taken care of your little pest problem, how about I get a taste of some of your mead? MS02EscapeScene01MadanachBlockingBranchTopic I had Kaie recover all the things the Nords stole from you. You better get ready before we break out into the city. MS02EscapeScene01MadanachBlockingBranchTopic And take this. It's blessed with the old magicks. Something to remember me by. MS02EscapeScene01MadanachTopic01 Now? I announce to all of Markarth that I have returned. Don't worry about your name. They'll know who to blame and fear after today. MS02EscapeScene01MadanachTopic01 It'll take years, but I'll organize the Forsworn again. We'll reclaim our land, and then, when power is ours, we'll have peace. A kingdom. MS02EscapeScene01MadanachTopic01 Until then, let me offer you a warning. Beware the Forsworn. No place in the Reach is safe from us now. MS02EscapeScene01MadanachTopic01B Time to finally see the sky, and make it rain red. MS02EscapeScene01MadanachTopic01B Hey, you. You're finally awake. MS02GrisvarKillTopic What? No. No don't kill me. Please! MS02MadanachBraigTopic Imagine hearing a story like that, over and over. Each time a different family Each time a different injustice. MS02MadanachBraigTopic Your meddling above ground reminded me of how removed I've been from the struggle. My men and I should be in the hills, fighting. MS02MadanachBraigTopic02 You know, I'm almost beginning to like you, but you haven't earned your place out of here yet. MS02MadanachBraigTopic02 Let me out. They're going to kill me! MS02MadanachEscapeBlockingBranchTopic I say you've earned an early pardon. Let's go. MS02MadanachEscapeBlockingBranchTopic Through this gate, just beside my quarters, is a tunnel. A tunnel that leads right through the old Dwarven ruins of Markarth, into the city. MS02MadanachEscapeBlockingBranchTopic Well, what do you say, my brothers? MS02MadanachEscapeBlockingBranchTopic My brothers, we have been here long enough. It's time to leave Cidhna Mine and continue our fight against the Nords. MS02MadanachEscapeBlockingBranchTopic Your time runs short. MS02MadanachEscapeBlockingBranchTopic Please, we do not have much time. MS02MadanachEscapeTopic01 It's a little gift from the dwarves. Who knew they would end up helping our cause? MS02MadanachEscapeTopic01 We have to move. We'll talk more once we see the sky. MS02MadanachEscapeTopic02 Into the tunnel. Let's go. MS02MadanachForswornTopic This was our land. We were here first. Then the Nords came and put chains on us. Forbid us from worshipping our gods. MS02MadanachForswornTopic Some of us refused to bow. We knew the old ways would lead us back to having a kingdom of our own. MS02MadanachForswornTopic That is who we are. The Forsworn. Criminals in our own lands. And we will cut a bloody hole into the Reach until we are free. MS02MadanachGrisvarContinue Have you met Grisvar the Unlucky? He's rightly named, and he's also a thief and a snitch. MS02MadanachGrisvarContinue He's outlived his minor usefulness. Take care of him, and then we can leave Cidhna Mine for good. MS02MadanachGrisvarTopic You've finally become one of us. Come with me. I think it's time I announced my plans to you and your new brothers. MS02MadanachGrisvarTopic01 Yes, but I need a show of loyalty from you. I don't need a shiv in the back while we break out. MS02MadanachIntroductionTopic Well, well. Look at you. Your kinsmen have turned you into an animal, Nord. A wild beast caged up and left to go mad. MS02MadanachIntroductionTopic Well, well. Look at you. The Nords have turned you into an animal. A wild beast caged up and left to go mad. MS02MadanachInvisible So, my fellow beast, what do you want? Answers about the Forsworn? Revenge for trying to have you killed? MS02MadanachInvisibleContinue02 You're one of us now, you see? A slave. The boot of your kinsmen stepping on your throat. Maybe if you understood that, I could help you. MS02MadanachInvisibleContinue02 You're one of us now, you see? A slave. The boot of the Nord stepping on your throat. Maybe if you understood that, I could help you. MS02MadanachShivTopic Ah, Borkul muscle one out of you on your way in? Fine. Take this one. MS02MadanachThonarTopic I had Markarth. My men and I drove the Nords out. We had won, or so we thought. MS02MadanachThonarTopic Retribution was swift. I was captured, quickly tried, and sentenced to death. But my execution never came. MS02MadanachThonarTopic Thonar Silver-Blood stopped it. He wanted the Forsworn at his call, that I would point their rage at his enemies and spare his allies. MS02MadanachThonarTopic And I have. Humiliating at first, but I knew he would let his guard down eventually. That he would come to trust I was under control. MS02MadanachTopic01 Your freedom? Yes. But even if you were to escape Cidhna Mine, your name would still be stained with all that blood. MS02MadanachTopic02 Do I? And what about you? What right did you have to meddle in my affairs? Kill my people? Was it worth it? Your truth? MS02MadanachTopic03 Then come for me, "son of Skyrim." Come for me! MS02MadanachTopic03 Then come for me, "daughter of Skyrim." Come for me! MS02MadanachTopic03 Very well. Come for me, then. Come and let's end this! MS02MadanachTopic04 There's a man named Braig inside these mines. Besides me, he's been here the longest. MS02MadanachTopic04 Tell him I sent you. Ask him why he's here. I want you to know how widespread the injustice of Markarth is. MS02MadanachTopic05 So many say that, at first, until they realize the truth. MS02MadanachTopic05 If you change your mind, speak to Braig. Tell him I sent you. I want you to know how widespread the injustice of Markarth is. MS02ThonarBlockingTopic My eyes inside Cidhna Mine tell me that Madanach is dead. MS02ThonarBlockingTopic You've done a great service to the Silver-Blood family. I've had the Jarl officially pardon you, and taken care of a few other loose ends. MS02ThonarEndingTopic01 Yes, you're innocent. As innocent as anyone can be in this city. MS02ThonarEndingTopic01 I guess we also owe you something for locking you up. Here, my family's ring. And everything the guards confiscated from you. MS02ThonarEndingTopic01 Now if you'll excuse me, I have a mine that needs new workers to fill it. MS02ThonarEndingTopic02 Now if you'll excuse me, I have to figure out how we're going to fill our recently emptied mine. MS02ThonarEndingTopic02 And you've proven that was the best move I could have made. Don't give me that look. You're free to go. MS02ThonarEndingTopic02 Here, how about a little token for your efforts? My family's ring and all the things the guards confiscated from you when you were jailed. MS02UraccenBorkulTopic Madanach's guard. Big, even for an Orc. Heard he ripped a man's arm off and beat him to death with it. He's old-fashioned like that. MS02UraccenMadanachTopic If you're asking, that means you're the new lifer. Tough luck, friend. Those guards sold you out but good. MS02UraccenMadanachTopic No one talks to Madanach, I'm afraid. Not without getting past Borkul the Beast. MS02UraccenMadanachTopic And you don't want to talk to Borkul the Beast. MS02UraccenMadanachTopic Now, if you'll both proceed to the armory to don your Nightingale Armor, we can begin the Oath. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic No idea, but whatever he did it must have angered Maven. No guard would lock up a Black-Briar without the old lady's permission. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic Silence, prisoner! MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic Gaaaaah!!! MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic What else do you want from me? I've already told you everything. Listen, if you let me go I can take you to Riften, show you where- MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic That will be all for now. I must say I continue to be disappointed in your lack of cooperation. I hope next time you will do better. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic Like I said, I don't know! I've seen him down in the Ratway. Maybe he lives down there, but I don't know for sure. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic And where can we find this nameless old man? MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic You know the rules. Just answer the questions. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic Ahhhh! MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic I don't know his name. Like I've told already a hundred- MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic And his name is...? MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic There's an old man. He lives in Riften. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic He could be this Esbern you're looking for, but I don't know. He's old and seemed kind of crazy. That's all I know. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic No, wait! I was just... catching my breath... why wouldn't I tell you again? I don't even know anything... MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic If you persist in this stubbornness I'll have... MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic Start at the beginning, as usual. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic Noooooo!!! MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic You know the rules. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic No... for pity's sake... I've already told you everything... MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic Let's begin again. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic Silence. You know the rules. Do not speak unless spoken to. Master Rulindil will ask the questions. MS03LouisBlackBriarInfoTopic Stop. Please. I don't know anything else. Don't you think I'd have told you already? MS03LouisGreet0 Ah, well, I recently approached Sibbi Black-Briar about buying Frost, one of the finest breeding horses in Skyrim. He agreed to sell. MS03LouisGreet0 I paid Sibbi half the cost of Frost up front, but before he could deliver, Maven had him locked up. Sibbi believes this exempts him from our deal. MS03LouisGreet0 It does not. MS03LouisGreet0 I want you to talk to Sibbi for me. Then, I want you to bring me Frost and the Lineage Papers that prove the horse's worth. MS03LouisGreet0 Go on, then. Deliver my message to Sibbi. MS03LouisGreet0 I may not be fond of Letrush, but even I've got to admit he's got the upper hand. MS03LouisGreet0b Excellent. MS03LouisGreet1A Good man. You won't regret it. MS03LouisGreet1A Ah, you're a smart woman. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. MS03LouisGreet1B That's a real shame. You would've fit the bill nicely. MS03LouisGreetBlockingHelloTopic Looking for work? I need someone to deliver a message to Sibbi Black-Briar. MS03LouisGreetBlockingHelloTopic I'm still looking for someone to deliver my message to Sibbi Black-Briar... MS03LouisLetrushRewardTopic Ha! You've done it! Got to admit, I wasn't sure you could pull it off. But you've definitely earned your pay. MS03LouisLetrushRewardTopic Let's make the exchange. MS03LouisLetrushRewardTopic I see you but I don't see Frost. Come back when you have the horse with you. MS03LouisMotivationTopic I'm not exactly... comfortable around guards or jails. Definitely not when associates of mine have been locked up. No, I'll meet you outside of town. MS03LouisPlan1A Head to the Riften jail and talk to Sibbi. Get him to tell you where Frost and his Lineage Papers are and bring them to me outside Riften. MS03LouisPlan1A You'll be well paid for your time. MS03LouisPlan1A But this is supposed to be your work. MS03LouisPlan1A I really don't have time to deal with you right now. Please just let me get back to my work. MS03MavenOfferTopic Don't tell me - Sibbi and Louis Letrush? Well, Sibbi is in jail and Letrush is certainly welcome to try. My hired help is more than a match for him. MS03MavenOfferTopic I'm aware of who stole Frost. And why. MS03MavenOfferTopic2 Really? Now that is interesting... MS03MavenOfferTopic2 Then you should know that Louis and I have a certain... history. MS03MavenOfferTopic2 Tell you what. Go along with his plans for now. I'll keep an eye on you both and, when the time is right, I'll settle accounts with Louis. MS03SibbiAlreadyPromised Well then, if you don't want the extra gold, you can certainly let Letrush keep it as a gesture of goodwill. MS03SibbiAlreadyPromised What? No! No, you don't understand! There's been some kind of mistake! I... Aggghhh! MS03SibbiJail1Topic Ah, and let me guess. He wants his horse. Well, that's going to be a bit of a problem. You see, I don't really outright "own" Frost... MS03SibbiJail2 That is correct. You see, Frost belongs to the Black-Briar estate. Technically everything in the estate is owned by my mother, Maven. MS03SibbiJail2 My plan was to take the horse from our lodge and deliver it to Letrush at the stables. Obviously, that didn't exactly work out as I'd planned... MS03SibbiJail2 Still, I don't want to cross Letrush. Tell you what. Steal the horse and deliver it, and you can have the second half of the payment. MS03SibbiJailAboutMaven I'm not stealing anything. Besides, some jail time isn't going to make me roll over and play dead. MS03SibbiJailAccept Then I think we're done talking. MS03SibbiJailPersuade Sure - take advantage of the guy in jail. Okay, fine. I can make the deal sweeter. MS03SibbiJailPersuade I obviously don't have anything here, but... there's a hidden stash in the Lodge. And I did manage to hold on to the key... MS03SibbiJailPersuade Take it. MS03SibbiJailPersuade Nice try, but my mother's already got me in jail. Maybe you should try that one on Letrush. MS03ThievesGuildTopic Who in their right mind would be stupid enough to pay you to steal from Maven? MS03ThievesGuildTopic Whoa, lad. I'd do just as well drawing a blade across my own neck. Where did this foolish request come from? MS03ThievesGuildTopic Whoa, lass. I'd do just as well drawing a blade across my own neck. Where did this foolish request come from? MS03ThievesGuildTopic What was that thing, anyway? MS03ThievesGuildTopic Savos is right. We can make it if we just stay alert. MS03ThievesGuildTopic We can't go back. Might as well go forward. We can still do this. MS03ThievesGuildTopic Gods, what have we done? MS03ThievesGuildTopic It's too late. There isn't enough of him left to go back in after. MS03ThievesGuildTopic We barely made it out alive, and you want to go back in? MS03ThievesGuildTopic We... we have to go back. We can't leave Girduin... MS03ThievesGuildTopic Against six College-trained mages? I think we'll be fine. MS03ThievesGuildTopic And what if... What if there are things guarding this place? MS03ThievesGuildTopic Enchanted weapons, tomes of ancient knowledge, Shalidor's secrets themselves -- who knows what we could find! MS03ThievesGuildTopic Given the history of this place, it's more than likely there's still some amount of power here. MS03ThievesGuildTopic You keep talking like you're sure we'll find something useful in here. MS03ThievesGuildTopic Can you imagine the looks on their faces when we come back? MS03ThievesGuildTopic I can't believe we're doing this. MS03ThievesGuildTopic Let's just get inside, see what's in there. MS03ThievesGuildTopic Don't forget, this whole idea was Atmah's to begin with. MS03ThievesGuildTopic You would care about that, since you're the Arch-Mage's favorite! MS03ThievesGuildTopic We'll be back at the College before anyone even knows we're gone. MS03ThievesGuildTopic Are we truly sure this is a good idea? MS03ThievesGuildTopic Come on, we're finally here! Let's not waste any more time! MS03ThievesGuildTopic02 Guess I should have known. Maven and Sibbi have been at odds ever since she had him tossed into jail. MS03ThievesGuildTopic02 Look, if I were you, I'd proceed carefully. Crossin' Maven is one of the first things you learn not to do when you're down here. MS03ThievesGuildTopic02 As far as the Guild's concerned this is between Sibbi and Maven, so we're going to officially stay out of it. MS03ThievesGuildTopic02 So Sibbi finally got the nerve to bare his teeth, eh? MS03ThievesGuildTopic02 Look, this sounds like a family matter and I don't want the Guild in the middle of it. You do what you want. MS03ThievesGuildTopic02 Just don't expect us to at your back when Maven has your head on the executioner's block. MS03WrapUpIntimidate Now wait a minute... No need to do anything drastic. Look, Keep the horse, all right? Then we all walk away happy... MS03WrapUpIntimidate Well ain't that the truth of it. All right, then. Let's see what you've got! MS03WrapUpPersuade You're playing a dangerous game, my friend. MS03WrapUpPersuade Fine, you win. Take the horse and leave. MS03WrapUpPersuade And telling her what? That you stole her horse? I don't think so. MS03WrapUpTopic Yes, yes. Here it is. I think I'd best be off now. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Yes, Yes. It is an ancient and ruined city. Built by the Dwemer. The dwarf folk. It is nearby, but I'd stay clear. People say it is quite dangerous. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic The way out is right there! Run, damn it! MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic I did not come all the way here just to walk out empty-handed. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic I can't hold these things! We need to leave! MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic I have the Lexicon! Where's the podium? MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Aaaaaaaaaaa.... MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Something doesn't feel right. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic We're almost there. I can hear the Lexicon. Come on. Quickly! MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Ours. Soon the Lexicon's knowledge will be ours. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Once we have the Lexicon, we'll need to take it to its podium. I know what to do from there. Soon the Lexicon's knowledge will be mine. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic So we grab it and we get out, right? MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic We are close now. Can you hear the Lexicon calling out? MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Calm yourself, Breya. We are closing in on the Lexicon. I can feel it calling. We'll continue without Drennen. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic My pay will be nothing if we die in here! MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Let the field mouse run. Your pay will be double. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Drennen! MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Absolutely. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic You sure that's power we're meant to have? MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic I assure you, it is. The knowledge contained in the Lexicon created everything you see around you. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic The Lexicon had better be worth all this trouble. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Great. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic You said they were sleeping. I said they were waiting. It seems a few of them were "waiting" for someone to try and take the Lexicon. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic I thought you said these things were "sleeping"? MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic So we're not turning back, you fool. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic So? MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Drennen, you do understand that the Lexicon at the bottom of this place holds the accumulated memories of centuries of Dwemer. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Maybe we should turn back. I don't want to sleep here. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic It is large, indeed. I did not anticipate Avanchnzel's size or the time needed to uncover the entrance. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic This place is huge. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic And yet none of us can pick a damned lock. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic We are thieves, you fool. We're stealing the cube. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic I told you we should have hired a thief. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Why are all these metal... things... ignoring us? MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Anavchnzel is waiting. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Indeed. Avanchnzel is as much a library as it is a city. Built to hold the vast memories of the Dwemer. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic This place is unbelievable. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic Enough. Their services will be more than adequate. Let us continue. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic If you two cannot handle this, we can find others to hire. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic It's a simple job, Drennen. We get in, we steal the Lexicon, we leave. Don't get jumpy. MS04AvanchnzelInnkeeperRumorTopic I don't like this place. It feels like we're being... watched. MS04HelpGreetTopic You. You must take the Lexicon. Free me of my burden. MS04HelpGreetTopic2 The memories. I cannot stand them. You must take them away, return them to Avanchnzel. MS04HelpGreetTopic2 You must take the Lexicon from me. Please... take it now. MS04LexiconRejectTopic I won't be the one to go back there. I won't return to Avanchnzel. You can't make me do it. MS04LexiconTakeTopic You must bring it to Avanchnzel, in the west. Return it to them. It must go back. MS05BardsCollegeInductionTopic I think they like you. MS05BardsCollegeInductionTopic2 Yes. Congratulations, you are now a full-fledged member of the Bards College. MS05BardsCollegeInductionTopic2 Due to your adventurous nature several of the college professors have some things they wish you to do. MS05BardsCollegeInductionTopic2 What's more, Elisif has declared the Burning of King Olaf should become a weekly event. MS05BardsCollegeInductionTopic2 And finally, there's the matter of the Patronage that Elisif wanted me to give you. MS05ElisifBlowOffTopic You're interrupting the performance. MS05FestivalCandyBark Candy! Get your King Olaf's Festival candy! MS05FestivalCandyBark2 Tasty, sugary treats! MS05FestivalMeatBark Meat Pies. Try one for free, come back for more. Get your meat pies. MS05FestivalMeatBark2 Can't have a meal without meat. Come and get some here. MS05FestivalWineBark Spiced Wine here. First cup is paid for by the college. MS05FestivalWineBark2 Get some Spiced Wine. A Festival Favorite. MS05GenericJoinTopic It is. We train the bards you hear throughout the land. Viarmo is the head of the college and in charge of admissions. MS05GenericJoinTopic Only in that I'm a graduate. I work at here at the Winking Skeever. I would highly recommend it though. Talk to Viarmo if you're interested. MS05GenericJoinTopic Only in that I'm a graduate. I work over at the Winking Skeever. I would highly recommend it though. Talk to Viarmo if you're interested. MS05GenericJoinTopic I'm a bard, trained at the Bards College in Solitude. Wanderers like you should think about applying. MS05GenericJoinTopic I'm a bard, from the Bards College here in Solitude. Wanderers like you should think about applying. MS05GenericJoinTopic At the Bards College in Solitude. They train bards and skalds like myself. MS05GenericJoinTopic If you go there, talk to Viarmo. He's the headmaster. MS05GenericJoinTopic Karliah, when will you learn you can't get the drop on me? MS05GenericJoinTopic Climb down that ledge and see if you can... MS05GenericJoinTopic Aye, lass. Nothing's getting by me. MS05GenericJoinTopic He's here and he hasn't seen us yet. Brynjolf, watch the door. MS05GiraurdPoeticEddaDescription2 And a very ancient one. MS05GiraurdPoeticEddaDescription2 The verse criticized the reigning King Olaf. He was so incensed the bard was put to death and all the copies burned. MS05GiraurdPoeticEddaDescription2 At least, that's what we thought until I translated some ancient texts a year or so ago. We now believe King Olaf buried the truth with the bard. MS05GiraurdPoeticEddaDescription2 If I'm right Svaknir and King Olaf's Verse lie in Dead Men's Respite, along with the burial chamber of King Olaf himself. MS05GiraurdPoeticEddaDescriptionTopic He's sending you after King Olaf's Verse then? That's good, we shouldn't leave it lying around now that I've figured out where it is. MS05GiraurdPoeticEddaDescriptionTopic The Verse was Svaknir's contribution to the Poetic Edda, the living history of Skyrim. Each bard adds to the Edda in his or her time. MS05GivePoemTopic I have to admit I didn't think it would actually be there. Now let's take a look at this... MS05GivePoemTopic Oh. Oh-no. This won't do at all. MS05GivePoemTopic The copy is incomplete, it's aged to the point that parts are unreadable. MS05GivePoemTopic And the parts that are readable... well... bardic verse has come a long way since ancient times. MS05GivePoemTopic Ah wonderful, I knew it would be. This is a significant find. MS05GivePoemTopic I'll let Viarmo take possession but I will be looking forward to adding this to our library. Good work. MS05GivePoemTopic That's tremendous! I have to admit I didn't fully believe it still existed. Now let's take a look at this... MS05GivePoemTopic Oh. Oh-no. This won't do at all. The copy is incomplete, it's aged to the point that parts are unreadable. MS05GivePoemTopic I knew it was at the Dead Man's Respite. MS05KingOlafsFestivalEvetteTopic Just one bottle per customer. Except for the man who saved the festival. Here's a couple bottles for you. MS05KingOlafsFestivalSorexTopic I said "a free meat pie". As in one. Here's yours. MS05NewPoemIdea Make it up? That doesn't seem appropriate... MS05NewPoemIdea I suppose I could copy his style based on what you brought me but I have no idea what happened in between these verses. MS05PoemExit You're leaving? Okay, we'll just work on the verse in a bit. MS05PoemFinalVerse It has a few final lines but that's all we needed to add. I need to head to court immediately and present this. You should come. MS05PoemInspection It means I can't read it to the court. Without the verse I won't be able to convince Elisif of the importance of The Burning of King Olaf Festival. MS05PoemInspection If she isn't convinced of the festival's importance then she won't reverse her decision to stop the effigy burning. MS05PoemInspection It means that the Burning of King Olaf, which the Bards College has held for time immemorial, won't be happening. MS05PoemRewardTopic "No shouting match between dragon and man, no fire or fury did this battle entail." MS05PoemRewardTopic "Olaf was Numinex in human form, on moonless nights he would spread wings and sail." MS05PoemRewardTopic Unbelievable! You have done us a great service here. I can't begin to thank you enough. MS05PoemRewardTopic Thank you yet again. I will make sure our applicant, who was instrumental in... recovering the poem will be well rewarded. MS05PoemRewardTopic Furthermore, I believe that such a fine poem deserves some payment of Patronage. The college will be moderately rewarded. MS05PoemRewardTopic Furthermore, I believe that such a fine poem deserves some payment of Patronage. The college will be moderately rewarded. MS05PoemRewardTopic Furthermore, I believe that such a fine poem deserves some payment of Patronage. The college will be generously rewarded. MS05PoemRewardTopic Furthermore, I believe that such a fine poem deserves some payment of Patronage. The college will be very generously rewarded. MS05PoemRewardTopic You have proven your point, Viarmo. The festival is truly a celebration of Solitude and a condemnation of false kings. MS05PoemRewardTopic I thank you and the college thanks you, Jarl. MS05PoemRewardTopic "So ends the story of Olaf the liar, a thief and a scoundrel we of Solitude commit to the fire." MS05PoemRewardTopic "In Solitude bards train for their service, they also gather each year and burn a King who deserves it." MS05PoemRewardTopic "Olaf gave orders, Winterhold disguises. An attack on Solitude total destruction to follow." MS05PoemRewardTopic "His men dressed up and then went out to fight, but they reversed Olaf's orders much to Winterhold's sorrow." MS05PoemRewardTopic "Olaf sent word to Solitude's Jarl, cajoling and mocking and begging for a fight." MS05PoemRewardTopic "From Winterhold Olaf had sent every message, upon attack he was nowhere in sight." MS05PoemRewardTopic "Because Solitude would not soon bend knee, Olaf would hurt them while his status accrued." MS05PoemRewardTopic "He sacked Winterhold his only true ally, and used magic bold to blame Solitude." MS05PoemRewardTopic "Because Solitude would not soon bend knee, Olaf would hurt them while his status accrued." MS05PoemRewardTopic "He sacked Winterhold in dragon form, and bent their minds to blame Solitude." MS05PoemRewardTopic "No shouting match between dragon and man, no fire or fury did this battle entail." MS05PoemRewardTopic "Olaf captured a fast-sleeping dragon, a mighty feat which the meek would not fail." MS05PoemRewardTopic "No shouting match between dragon and man, no fire or fury did this battle entail." MS05PoemRewardTopic "Olaf struck a deal to make himself king, Numinex let go though none tell that tale." MS05PoemVerse2Evil I find that highly unlikely... but the court will love it. I'm writing it in. MS05PoemVerse2Evil I find that highly unlikely... I think it would be irresponsible to write that in to the verse. MS05PoemVerse2Incompetent Ha! All right, I'm writing that in. I'm not sure about the court but I find that much more probable than Olaf capturing a dragon. MS05PoemVerse2Prompt King Olaf was Olaf One-Eye? He famously captured the dragon Numinex and took him to Dragonsreach. What do we say really happened? MS05PoemVerse2Underhanded Hmmm, Olaf did become king and Numinex escaped later. It's entirely possible... and I'm sure the court will like that, I'm writing it in. MS05PoemVerse4 And they got the orders backwards. Ha ha ha. Yes, I'm writing that in. It should be good for a laugh from the court. MS05PoemVerse4Dragon Oh that is exciting! I'm sure the court and the Jarl will love it. I'm writing it in now. MS05PoemVerse4Dragon No, that's pushing it too far. Very exciting but highly unlikely, I can't possibly write that in. MS05PoemVerse4Evil2 That sounds good. I'm not sure the court will believe that Olaf had wizard powers but we shall see. MS05PoemVerse4Underhanded It's not the most exciting answer but the most likely. I'll write it in. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Great. Looks like you'll be one of us soon. We'll gather outside the College for the Burning of King Olaf. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 I'll tell everyone we're ready but we'll start the festival at dusk. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Come talk to me after dark, we'll get the festival started when you do. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Best batch of Spiced Wine I ever had. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 I thought the festival wasn't happening this year. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Thanks for convincing Elisif to put this on again. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Come on! Light the fire! MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Jorn is the best of the bunch, you should hear him sing. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 I heard you're the reason we get to have this. Thank you. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 I believe Sanguine would be pleased with this festival. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 I like the pretty lights. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Burn the king! MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 You've done well by restoring our Festival. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Thank you so much. The festival has really increased my sales. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 There's the man himself! MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 There's the woman herself! MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Burn the King! MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Congratulations on getting the festival restored. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Get your festival meat pie. Specially made. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Try our meats made here at the Festival. They're the best. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 So nice to get this break from my cleaning duties. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 You might as well have some sweets. I made them for the festival after all. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 I wish you luck in finding the verse. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 We should really get to court. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 We should present the verse soon. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Don't forget to speak to Jorn when you're ready for the festival. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Be careful, you might find more than just King Olaf's Verse in Dead Man's Respite. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Good luck. You're on your own now. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 He's got to be here somewhere. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Silence, traitor! Move. Slowly. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Never mind, I'm dead already- MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Surrender immediately or you both die. MS05ReturnWithCoatTopic1 Listen up, spy! You're trapped in here, and we have your accomplice. MS05ReturnWithTheCoatTopic Ah the bard-to-be. Did Viarmo send you? MS05RumorBranchTopic I think the Bards College might be looking for recruits. You should speak to the head of the college, Viarmo, if you're interested. MS05SendToJornTopic Soon, soon. These things must be done properly, you will be inducted as part of the Festival itself. MS05SendToJornTopic I need you to go speak to Jorn. He was preparing the Effigy of King Olaf. MS05SendToJornTopic Tell him to finish the preparations, the Festival is back on. MS05TulliusCoatFavorTopic My coat? What do you need my coat for? MS05TulliusCoatFavorTopic2 What?! This is exactly why... don't they understand it's hard enough to fight a war without these juvenile attempts to undermine authority? MS05TulliusCoatFavorTopic3 If you say so. If this were anyone but you I would lock them up. MS05TulliusCoatFavorTopic3 Take it. Take the coat, have your fun. I'll see you at the festival. MS05Verse1SharedInfo "O, Olaf, our subjugator, the one-eyed betrayer;" MS05Verse1SharedInfo "death-dealing demon and dragon-killing King." MS05Verse1SharedInfo "Your legend is lies, lurid and false;" MS05Verse1SharedInfo "your cunning capture of Numinex, a con for the ages." MS05Verse3SharedInfo "Olaf grabbed power, by promise and threat;" MS05Verse3SharedInfo "From Falkreath to Winterhold, they fell to their knees;" MS05Verse3SharedInfo "But Solitude stood strong, Skyrim's truest protectors." MS05Verse3SharedInfo "Olaf's vengeance was instant, inspired and wicked." MS05Verse4Prompt Strange. According to history Solitude attacked Winterhold, but Aesgeir seems to be saying Olaf reacted. What do we say happened? MS05ViarmoApplicationTopic Always a pleasure to meet a prospective bard. MS05ViarmoApplicationTopic You should be aware that many apply but we accept very few people. MS05ViarmoApplicationTopic When possible, we ask applicants to perform tasks the college needs completed. In this case, I do have a task befitting an aspiring bard... MS05ViarmoApplicationTopic2 Yes. According to Giraud, our histories keeper, the portion of the Edda dealing with King Olaf might still exist in Dead Man's Respite. MS05ViarmoApplicationTopic2 I need you to retrieve the poem. MS05ViarmoApplicationTopic2 Yes. According to Giraud, our histories keeper, the portion of the Edda dealing with King Olaf might still exist in the Dead Man's Respite. MS05ViarmoApplicationTopic2 I need you to retrieve the poem. MS05ViarmoApplicationTopic2 Make sure that he is. MS05ViarmoApplicationTopic2 Make sure that she is. MS05ViarmoAtCourtBranchTopic I think my voice is ready. I hope we've done this well. MS05ViarmoBlowOffTopic Not now. MS05ViarmoBlowOffTopic Please don't leave. You must help me. MS05ViarmoBlowOffTopic I'll meet you outside of town. MS05ViarmoBlowOffTopic Hey, don't you want to make this exchange? MS05ViarmoPoeticEddaDescriptionTopic I think Giraud here would give you the best explanation of both it and the history of King Olaf's Verse. You should speak to him about it. MS05ViarmoTask2 Elisif has forbidden the Burning of King Olaf, a Festival put on by the Bards College. We need to change her mind. MS05ViarmoTask2 To convince her I want to read King Olaf's Verse. A part of the Poetic Edda, the living history of Skyrim. Unfortunately the verse was lost long ago. MS05ViarmoTaskDescription As you may be aware Elisif's husband High King Torygg was recently killed. MS05ViarmoTaskDescription Elisif mourns her husband deeply and she feels that a festival that burns a King in effigy is... distasteful. MS05ViarmoTaskDescription I've tried to convince her the festival is many centuries old and celebrates Solitude but I need proof. MS05ViarmoTaskDescription I believe King Olaf's verse will provide that proof. MS05WeddingDelayBlockingTopic1 We would but there's a big wedding taking place at Castle Dour. We'll have to wait until after the wedding. MS05WeddingDelayBlockingTopic1 Come back in a few nights when the wedding reception is over and we'll start the ceremony when you do. MS05WeddingDelayBlockingTopic1 All right. That should do it. I think I'm ready to try the College again. Thanks! MS05WeddingDelayBlockingTopic1 Come on. I don't want to hit you until you have your ward ready. MS05WeddingDelayBlockingTopic1 I think I see what I was doing wrong... MS05WeddingDelayBlockingTopic1 Great! Now I'm going to cast some spells at you. Keep your ward up so I can study it. MS05WeddingDelayBlockingTopic1 Get your ward ready. MS05WeeddingDelayBlockingHello Ayleid, Dwemer, Daedric... Not even Falmer. None of them are a match. Quite curious indeed. MS05WeeddingDelayBlockingHello Hey! It's the bard-to-be. MS05WeeddingDelayBlockingHello We will see about this... MS05WeeddingDelayBlockingHello I'm sorry, were you about to say something? MS06AboutPotema0 Ironically, if she were alive today, she'd be the only living member of the Septim bloodline. By all rights, she would now be Empress. MS06AboutPotema0 Any resident of Solitude can tell you, she was the deadliest person ever to come out of Skyrim. MS06AboutPotema0 Queen of Solitude, granddaughter of Emperor Uriel Septim II, five hundred years ago. Her fight for succession nearly tore the empire apart. MS06AboutPotema0 After twenty years of fighting, she had raised armies of the dead, led by vampire generals. If she returns to power, nobody could stop her. MS06AboutPotema0 A curious figure. Unrepentantly evil and nasty, of course, but also astonishingly brilliant, and obviously quite a necromancer at her end. MS06AboutPotema0 She was always so close to being Empress, but despite her machinations, it was never to be hers. MS06CultistDeath No! Not again! I shall not be denied again! MS06FalkBookReturn0 Potema herself? Please tell me you stopped them. MS06FalkInvestigate0 You mean the Dragon Bridge issue? I'll be honest with you, I was planning to let that go. Varnius is a bit jumpy at the best of times. MS06FalkInvestigate0 The cave has a bad history. Long ago, Potema the Wolf Queen used it for necromantic rituals. That's where it got the name. MS06FalkInvestigate0 That was over 500 years ago. Nothing much down there now - but everyone's always convinced the cave is haunted. MS06FalkInvestigate0 He he he he he. MS06FalkInvestigate0 You just wait. My new pranks are going to the best ever! You'll see! He he he he. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Ha! That ain't nothing. Wait till you see what I got planned for next week. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's my boy! MS06FalkInvestigate0 Ha! I knew it! Had your name written all over it, that one did! MS06FalkInvestigate0 See, now that's what I'm talking about. Working hard, making your mark on this world. Good job, son. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Sure I did. And I'd do it again. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Yeah. So? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Ha ha ha ha! Yeah, I sure did. It was one of my best pranks yet, father. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Hey boy, I heard you nailed a Septim into Lucan's doorstep. Damn near drove him crazy. That true? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Tell me, son. Any truth to these stories I been hearing. About you gluing a cow's udders shut? You really do something like that? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Heard me a rumor, boy. Something about you putting bugs in the stew over at the Sleeping Giant. You do this? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Fine. You play in the mud, or play with your father's forge, or get into sword fights with your little friend. But this is not over. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Oh, Dorthe. You're breaking your mother's heart, you know that? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Well. I can see your father and I are going to have to talk about this. And when we do, things are going to change. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Ho, now... Keep me out of this... MS06FalkInvestigate0 It's just that papa promised I could make something at the forge. So maybe we could do something together, hmmm... next week? Is... that okay? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Just stop trying to change me, mother! I'm not a baby anymore! I'm almost a woman! I... I can't be who I want to be! MS06FalkInvestigate0 I'm sorry, mother. I can't help it. All that stuff you like to do, it's just so... boring. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Shor's crown! There are things ladies like us are supposed to do. We've talked about this... MS06FalkInvestigate0 Let me guess. You'd rather play "Daedra and Battlemages" with Ordnar. Or go fishing, or catch frogs... MS06FalkInvestigate0 Dorthe, listen to me. Your father and your friend may treat you like a boy, but you're not. Do you understand? So please. Be a girl. For me. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Oh. Um. Well... You see... MS06FalkInvestigate0 Wow. Yeah. That sounds great, mother. Only, um... it's just that... MS06FalkInvestigate0 Oooh. Ahhh... Well... See, the thing is... MS06FalkInvestigate0 Dorthe, dear, I've been growin' some really lovely vegetables. Maybe tomorrow you could help me plant a new patch? What do you say? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Dorthe... I was thinkin' I'd knit a couple of blankets, sell them to Lucan. Would you like to make one? Might be fun, workin' together. MS06FalkInvestigate0 You know, Dorthe, with all those vegetables I've been growing lately, I was thinkin' we could make a right lovely stew. Together. How about it? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Don't worry, I am. MS06FalkInvestigate0 All right. But I am getting a bit tired of waiting. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Yes, sir. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Later, little one. I need to finish what I'm working on. But keep watching. Watch, and learn. MS06FalkInvestigate0 He he. Not just yet, Dorthe. I need to keep forging, and you need to keep watching. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Patience, Dorthe. You'll get some time at the forge, I promise you. But not right now. You need to keep watching me. That's how you'll learn. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Can I make something now, papa? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Is it time yet? Time for me to make my sword? Or maybe... an axe? MS06FalkInvestigate0 I'm bored standing around, papa. I could take over for you... MS06FalkInvestigate0 Of course, Lucan. Of course. I was just, well... Never mind. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Okay, okay. Just trying make this place a little less... boring. MS06FalkInvestigate0 I know, I know. My head's in the clouds again. Just... forget I said anything. MS06FalkInvestigate0 That's really not at the top of my list, no. Please, Camilla, I need you to focus. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Dear sister, we talked about this sort of thing before. We sell dry goods, nothing more, nothing less. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Camilla, really? You don't have better things to do? Because I could certainly find quite a few tasks... MS06FalkInvestigate0 Hmm. All right. Do you think... maybe we should? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Well, I was thinking... we should. We could stock all kinds of specialty items. You know, to cater to some of our more.... "eclectic" customers. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Hmmm... Well, maybe we could go on a sort of trip. Take the wares on the road. Get some new customers. MS06FalkInvestigate0 No, dear sister. We do not. MS06FalkInvestigate0 I'm afraid not. MS06FalkInvestigate0 A sale? To attract new customers? Camilla, everyone in Riverwood already shops here. There are no more customers. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Lucan, we don't sell silver buckles, do we? One of the customers was asking. MS06FalkInvestigate0 We don't sell any imports from Summerset Isle, do we, Lucan? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Lucan, I was thinking we should have a grand sale. Lower the prices by half, maybe get some jugglers. We could attract lots of new customers. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Wonderful. And let's not have this chat again next week. Agreed? MS06FalkInvestigate0 You do realize these simpletons wouldn't know real music if it bit them in the britches, hmm? Very well. Your wish is my command. MS06FalkInvestigate0 It's about your singing. Well, not your singing, your songs. But you know what I'm talking about. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Here we go... MS06FalkInvestigate0 Sven, we need to talk... MS06FalkInvestigate0 Well. There's something to be said for honesty, I suppose. MS06FalkInvestigate0 I should have guessed. MS06FalkInvestigate0 No. MS06FalkInvestigate0 I don't suppose I could convince you to take care of it now, could I? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Don't I always? MS06FalkInvestigate0 And... you'll take care of it? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Wait, let me guess. You'll get to it later. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Yep. MS06FalkInvestigate0 The corn stores are getting low again, Orgnar. MS06FalkInvestigate0 You promised me you'd sweep the entranceway. MS06FalkInvestigate0 I still need you to make a batch of those fried potatoes. We can serve them with the ale. MS06FalkInvestigate0 You are going to brew a new batch of ale, right? Like we talked about? What we have's been sitting in that barrel for over a month. MS06FalkInvestigate0 You a fighting man? How about a little bet? MS06FalkInvestigate0 You a fighting girl? How about a little bet? MS06FalkInvestigate0 Think you can go blade to blade with me? You'd be dead in six seconds. MS06FalkInvestigate0 You. You a Dark Elf lover? Get out of our city, you filthy piece of trash. MS06FalkInvestigate0 You damn gray-skin. Go back to Morrowind! MS06FalkInvestigate0 I'm the best warrior in Morthal, and that's no boast. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Take my advice. Never gamble. Damn Irnskar has me in debt up to the eyes. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Life's hard enough with all these men propositioning me. But that bard is the worst. MS06FalkInvestigate0 We're used to getting by on scraps, but the Shatter-Shields want everything for nothing. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Poor Roggi. If you're feeling charitable, buy the Nord a mead. He's good for it. MS06FalkInvestigate0 Ranmir beg a drink from you, yet? That's gold wasted, friend. MS06FalkInvestigate1 There have been reports of weird happenings near Wolfskull Cave. Travelers disappearing, odd lights. I suspect wild animals or perhaps bandits. MS06FalkInvestigate1 I don't think it's worth our time with the war going on, but if you want to clear out the cave, I'll make sure you're repaid for your work. MS06FalkPotema01 Yes, old friend, I'm afraid it's not good news. MS06FalkPotema01 When you broke up the binding Potema escaped. We've encountered some of her minions. MS06FalkPotema01 Styrr says she's still in spirit form or we'd all be dead already. MS06FalkPotema01 You've already done us a service in stopping the binding, but I need you to go talk to him, to see if Styrr can tell us what to do next. MS06FalkPotema02 I wish you well friend. Be careful. MS06FalkPotema03 He's Solitude's priest of Arkay. He's the one who figured out Potema was still around. He'll help as much as he can. MS06FalkPotema4 I'm not really sure. Styrr thinks you have some sort of link to Potema. MS06FalkPotema4 I trust his judgment on this. As a priest of Arkay he's had to deal with necromancy before. Nothing as dangerous as Potema though. MS06FalkQuestEnd0 You've done a great thing, today. It doesn't matter who you support in the war; Potema would have been a blight on the land for both sides. MS06FalkQuestEnd0 Without you this would have been a disaster. I should have paid more heed to Varnius' warnings. I won't make that mistake again. MS06FalkQuestEnd02 Take this payment - the Jarl would thank you but she very much wants to keep Potema's return quiet. MS06FalkQuestEnd02 Make no mistake we consider you a protector of Solitude. MS06FalkQuestEnd02 Take this payment - the Jarl would thank you but she very much wants to keep Potema's return quiet. MS06FalkQuestEnd02 Make no mistake we consider you a protector of Solitude. MS06RumorBranchTopic Varnius Junius stopped by here on his way to court. He was worried about something. I'm sure Falk Firebeard could tell you what. MS06StartElisifBlowOffTopic Oh, I thought that matter was handled. I think Falk is taking care of that. MS06StartElisifBlowOffTopic Good luck. I'm counting on you. MS06StartElisifBlowOffTopic Taking on Potema won't be easy. But you are the one to do it. MS06StartElisifInCourtTopic Please don't interrupt the court. MS06StartElisifInCourtTopic Court is in session. MS06StartElisifInCourtTopic I'm trying to speak to the Jarl. MS06StartFalkReturn2topic2 You've done a larger service to the realm than you could possibly know. A resurrected Potema... I shudder at the thought. MS06StartFalkReturn2topic2 I will have someone take care of the cave as well Varnius, you can rest easy. You're dismissed. MS06StartFalkReturn2topic2 Thank you, Jarl Elisif. But about the cave... MS06StartFalkReturn2topic2 Oh. Yes, of course you are right. Falk, tell Captain Aldis I said to assign a few extra soldiers to Dragon Bridge. MS06StartFalkReturn2topic2 Perhaps a more... tempered reaction... might be called for? MS06StartFalkReturn2topic2 Th...thank you, my Jarl thank you. MS06StartFalkReturnForcegreetTopic You've returned. Good. What did you find at Wolfskull Cave? MS06StartIntruder Stop the intruder! MS06StartIntruder Come back to me if you find anything. MS06StartSybilleForcegreetTopic What did you do in Wolfskull cave?! MS06StartSybilleResponse1 I'm Sybille Stentor, court mage of Solitude, and according to my scrying you've managed to unleash Potema herself! MS06StartSybilleResponse2 You weren't nearly as successful as you think, fool. According to my scrying the Wolf Queen has returned. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 Listen you impudent cur. According to my scrying something happened at Wolfskull Cave that returned Potema to this world. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 Hmph. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 Panic we can handle, Balgruuf. It's the dragons I'm not so sure about. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 By Ysmir, this is just what we need. There'll be panic in the streets if this proves true. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 I've dispatched a rider to Helgen. We'll know soon enough. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 And you're sure? MS06StartSybilleResponse3 We will find her eventually. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 She cannot hide from us forever. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 If you locate her, find us in Rorikstead. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 Quickly, come with me. MS06StartSybilleResponse3 Find me the moment the Alik'r are taken care of. MS06StartSybilleStentorTopic Not really. Varnius Junius is a fool. I'm sure nothing will come of it. MS06StartSybilleStentorTopic I suppose if you're truly interested you could talk to Falk. He's the better-safe-than-sorry type. MS06StartVarniusTopic I've done my part, Dragon Bridge will have extra guards. Falk Firebeard will find a way to take care of the cave. MS06StyrrAdvice02 Summoned in spirit form is not raised from the dead. She'll need help before she can return to the living. MS06StyrrAdvice02 For the moment, the Wolf Queen has retreated to a place filled with dead eager to serve her. She has gone to her old Catacombs. MS06StyrrAdvice02 A few days ago, one of her servants busted through a wall into the Temple of Divines. We'll need you to go into the Catacombs themselves. MS06StyrrAdvice03a Yes. I had Falk call you back because you were at the summoning, you have a connection to Potema now. You must deal with her. MS06StyrrAdvice03a I can provide you with help for her minions though. This should help you deal with the Catacombs themselves. MS06StyrrAdvice03b Good. Being at the summoning created a connection to Potema, you are the one to do this. MS06StyrrAdvice03b I can provide you with some help with her minions. MS06StyrrAdvice04 As to Potema herself, find what's left of her body, likely a skeleton. Remove it from the Catacombs and bring it back to be sanctified by Arkay. MS06StyrrHelloTopic Ah Potema. Former queen of Solitude and one of the most dangerous necromancers in recorded history. MS06StyrrHelloTopic She was responsible for the Empire's near collapse almost five hundred years ago. I believe I have a book about her... MS06StyrrQuestEndTopic01 Excellent! These things do have a way of working out when people take action. I'll sanctify the remains. MS06StyrrQuestEndTopic02 In case Falk doesn't make it clear - Solitude owes you a debt of gratitude. MS06StyrrQuestEndTopic02 I hope Falk made it clear that Solitude owes you a debt of gratitude. Ms07AfterLamp0 The effects have already been felt. The Icerunner has failed to dock on time. Ms07AfterLamp0 Without the Lighthouse, the Icerunner will have swung wide of the western shoal and run aground on the eastern coast. Ms07AfterLamp0 My sister Deeja will be at the wreck with our Blackblood Marauders. She knows to expect you. MS07AfterLamp2Topic The Blackblood Marauders are... very identifiable. I didn't want anyone thinking the Blackbloods were getting too bold. MS07AfterLamp2Topic I've got a little work if you're interested, traveler. MS07AfterLamp2Topic You should see me when you get bored, stranger. MS07AfterLamp3Topic Deeja and I are more like their representatives here in Solitude. None of the Blackbloods can show themselves without being arrested. MS07BanditGreetAtBoatTopic You're the one who put out the fire in the Lighthouse, right? MS07BanditGreetAtBoatTopic For once you'll actually pay for your crimes. MS07BanditGreetAtBoatTopic Once again, the Empire takes the blame for the crimes of others. MS07BanditGreetDirectionsTopic That was good work. Deeja's in the hold of the ship. Go down two levels. MS07ConfronationGreet2Topic To Oblivion with your loot! This ends now! MS07ConfronationGreet2Topic You don't have what it takes to kill me. MS07DeejaIcerunnerBranchTopic Ha! I'm afraid the loot's already been moved. You've been useful to the Blackbloods, though. You've earned a quick death. MS07DeejaIcerunnerGreet My brother told me you were coming. I'm supposed to give you what you've earned. MS07JareeRaConfrontationGreetTopic First you murder my sister, then you massacre my men! MS07JareeRaConfrontationGreetTopic You've betrayed me, murdered my sister and massacred my men! MS07JareeRaInitialOfferGreetTopic You're passing through Solitude? Maybe you're looking to make some easy gold, yes? MS07JareeRaOfferTopic With the war, many more ships come through these docks. Loaded with weapons and pay, but few people. And they pass through dangerous waters. MS07JareeRaOfferTopic We have an interest in one of those boats, the Icerunner. MS07JareeRaOfferTopic The Solitude Lighthouse will be guiding it in... but if its fire were to go out, the Icerunner would run aground. MS07JareeRaOfferTopic2 What an interesting idea. I think if someone were to do something like that, there would definitely be a certain amount of loot to be shared... MS07JareeRaOfferTopic2 Yes, if someone were to put out the Lighthouse fire and then meet me on the docks afterwards... I could certainly direct them to that loot. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Just remember I'm here if you rethink your decision. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Wolf Queen. Hear our call and awaken. We summon Potema! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Long have you slept the dreamless sleep of death, Potema. No longer. Hear us Wolf Queen! We Summon You! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic We summon Potema! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic We summon Potema! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic We summon Potema! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic We summon Potema! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic We summon Potema! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic We summon Potema! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic We summon Potema! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic We summon Potema! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic As our voices summon you the blood of the innocent binds you Wolf Queen! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Yes! Yes! Return me to this realm! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic What! What are you doing?! You fools! You cannot bind me to your wills! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Summoned with words. Bound by blood. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic You ants don't have the power to bind me! MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic Something is wrong. There is an intruder. MS07JareeRaWalkawayTopic I shall not be bound. MS07JRGreet0 It's easy to find things to sell. Things nobody will miss. Things from underground, or just left lying around in someone's house. MS07JRGreet0 I bet the two of us, we're very alike. So why not take the next step? We can help each other. MS07JRGreet0 My sister Deeja and I are treasure hunters. We like to collect things. MS07JRGreet0 As I said, it's easy to find things nobody will miss. My sister Deeja and I are treasure hunters. You could be too. MS07JRGreet1A I believe you know what needs to be done. Something about putting out a fire? MS07JRGreet1A Looks like you had no trouble. MS07JRGreet1A Get moving. I'll see if I can't delay any patrols out there. MS07JRGreet1A Of course not! Thieves take what is precious. Thieves steal. MS07JRGreet1A We just take what will not be missed. What no one needs anymore. Maybe we take some weapons and stop a few deaths. Who would call that thievery? MS07JRGreet1A Hey! What're you doing in here? MS07JRGreet1A Get out of here or I'll call the guards! MS07JRGreet1A That's it! You're leaving, right now. MS07JRGreet1A You look new. I'm new, too. I think we could be friends. MS07JRGreet1A If you're looking for opportunities to make some coin, well... I'm your man. MS07JRGreet1A Everyone needs work, right? I have good work for you. MS07JRGreet1B I knew you looked like a clever one... MS07JRWhatIf0 Turn me in? For what? What crime's been committed? I'm just making idle talk about what would most undoubtedly be a tragic event... MS07JRWhatIf0 A tragic, and very, very profitable event. MS07StartRumorsTopic I've heard Jaree-Ra is hanging around the Wells District, looking for new blood to hire. MS07ValdCleanUpBandits2 I've been away from Solitude for as long as I can. But if you decide to finish these bandits off, you'll be rewarded for your efforts. MS07ValdCleanUpBanditsTopic Good riddance. MS07ValdCleanUpBanditsTopic I'll take care of it. MS07ValdMeetsPlayerAtShip2Topic I'm Captain Aldis. I'm here to help you take down these bandits. MS07ValdMeetsPlayerAtShip2Topic2 We're stretched thin in Solitude, and I don't expect these bandits to be much challenge. Are you ready? MS07ValdMeetsPlayerAtShipTopic You're the one Mazzaka described to me. MS07ValdRewardGreetTopic It's appreciated. The captains around here will have one less thing to worry about. Here's your reward. MS07ValdtimeAndPlayerAttackTopic With pleasure. MS07Victims0 Don't worry about them. We'll make sure they wash up safe. Maybe they'll even pay us for the heroic rescue from their sad crash. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic You have a death wish, then? If you know that name, you must know to meet him would be to meet your end. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic But it seems we both have needs, friend. Perhaps we can help each other out. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic You buy my way out of here, and I'll tell you what you want to know. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01 I have dishonored my brothers by being captured, and so they have left me here. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01 My life with the Alik'r is over now, but I have no wish to die in this gods-forsaken land. If I can be released from prison, I may start over. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01 See to that, and I'll tell you what you want to know. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01a 100 gold will secure my release. You can afford that, can't you? MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01a I suppose you'd better hope you can, if you want the information. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01a Get the money into the hands of one of these guards, and I'll tell you what you want to know. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01a Very well. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01a Kematu is west of Whiterun. It's an unassuming little cave called Swindler's Den. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01a You realize if you set foot in there, you're never coming back out. They'll kill you. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01a But that's your problem, not mine. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01a Then we have nothing more to say to one another. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01b Because I was clumsy enough to be captured. MS08AlikrPrisonerST25Topic01b Kematu always says we're supposed to be the best of the best. I wasn't. MS08AlikrST0Topic A woman -- a foreigner in these lands. Redguard, like us. MS08AlikrST0Topic She is likely not using her true name. We will pay for any information regarding her location. MS08AlikrST0Topic We are not welcome here in Whiterun, so we will be in Rorikstead if you learn anything. MS08AlikrST0Topic We're looking for information about a woman -- a foreigner in these lands. She's a Redguard, like us. MS08AlikrST0Topic We believe she may be hiding in Whiterun, but we're checking everywhere to be sure. MS08AlikrST0Topic I can't believe it's come to this. MS08AlikrST0Topic I really thought you'd be able to save me. MS08AlikrST0Topic Please, let's hurry. MS08AlikrST0Topic Let's get to the stables before they find me. MS08AlikrST0Topic Any news of the Alik'r? MS08AlikrST0Topic Please, we need to speak in private. MS08AlikrST0Topic What are you looking at? MS08AlikrST0Topic Can you help me find someone? There's gold in it for you. MS08AlikrST0Topic We're looking for someone. Maybe you can help. MS08AlikrST0Topic I have some questions for you. I'm trying to find someone. MS08AlikrST0Topic The Alik'r are not permitted within the city walls. MS08AlikrST0Topic You're not one of those Alik'r thugs, are you? MS08AlikrST0Topic By decree of the Jarl, the Alik'r are banned from Whiterun. MS08AlikrST0Topic Do you have news of our quarry? MS08AlikrST0Topic Thank you for your trust. I am eager to return to my homeland. MS08AlikrST0Topic I found a big load of ebony at the bottom pocket in the mine. MS08AlikrST0Topic There's only one chief! MS08AlikrST0Topic The other chief! MS08AlikrST0Topic Which other one? MS08AlikrST0Topic What about the other one? MS08AlikrST0Topic Well, right. One of us will be a chief. MS08AlikrST0Topic But I thought there was only one chief. MS08AlikrST0Topic A bit longer, yet. We need more money if we want to be chiefs of our own. MS08AlikrST0Topic How much longer do we have to work this backwoods mine? MS08AlikrST0Topic Bolar and I will tell you. MS08AlikrST0Topic Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear. MS08AlikrST0Topic Please... How long must I do this? I keep praying, Night Mother. Why won't you answer me? MS08AlikrST0Topic Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear. MS08AlikrST0Topic So... very tired... MS08AlikrST0Topic Grelod, you old crone. You'll get what you deserve. The Dark Brotherhood will see to that... MS08AlikrST0Topic Die, Grelod! Die! MS08AlikrST0Topic How will I know when I'm ready? MS08AlikrST0Topic I don't think you're quite ready yet. MS08AlikrST0Topic Well, I... MS08AlikrST0Topic Bolar said you had been looking for a new wife? MS08AlikrST0Topic You wanted to see me? MS08AlikrST0Topic She's just worried about you. We all are. We just want you to be happy. We want to make you happy. MS08AlikrST0Topic Since Galka was taken from us. She's been... sad, I guess. MS08AlikrST0Topic Oh? I hadn't noticed. MS08AlikrST0Topic Bolar has been in a bad mood for weeks, now. MS08AlikrST0Topic Just... try and keep out of our way. MS08AlikrST10BranchTopic We're looking for a fugitive who comes from Hammerfell. A Redguard woman. She may be somewhere in this city. MS08GuardSicariusQuestionTopic Bunch of foreign troublemakers. Wandering around, getting into mischief, scaring the citizens. MS08GuardSicariusQuestionTopic They've been told to stay out of the city, but keep trying to get back in. MS08KematuAmbushBranchTopic Now, we'll take our friend here back to Hammerfell, where she will pay the price for her treason. MS08KematuAmbushBranchTopic I... I will. Thank you... MS08KematuAmbushBranchTopic Erandur, she has a point. You keep telling us no harm will follow these dreams, but they must be an omen. MS08KematuAmbushBranchTopic It's the same dream over and over again. You think that's normal? It's evil I tell you! MS08KematuAmbushBranchTopic Irgnir, get a hold of yourself. They're just dreams. Please tell her, Erandur. MS08KematuAmbushBranchTopic It's a curse! It has to be! I've got to get out of this town. MS08KematuAmbushFollowUp Not on the way back. Once she gets there, it's not up to me to decide what's done with her. MS08KematuAmbushFollowUp And as for you, I owe you a portion of the reward, don't I? MS08KematuAmbushFollowUp Well, here you go. Spend it wisely, and if I may... Don't allow yourself to be fooled by a pretty face. You're better than that. MS08KematuST100ForcegreetBranchTopic I think we can all profit from the situation in which we find ourselves. MS08KematuST100ForcegreetBranchTopic My men will not attack you, if you will lower your weapons. MS08KematuST100ForcegreetBranchTopic Stay your hand, warrior! MS08KematuST100ForcegreetBranchTopic It's no secret why you're here and you have proven your skill in combat. Let us talk a moment, and no one else needs to die. MS08KematuST100Topic Of course, sent by... what is it that she's calling herself these days? Shazra? Saadia? One of those, correct? MS08KematuST100Topic Did she appeal to your sense of honor? Your greed? A more... base need, perhaps? It doesn't matter. MS08KematuST100Topic No doubt she's convinced you that she's the victim. But, do you know why we pursue her? MS08KematuST100Topic01 Assassins? No, nothing so crass. MS08KematuST100Topic01 "Saadia", as you know her, is wanted by the noble houses of Taneth for treason. We were hired to see her returned to Hammerfell for her crimes. MS08KematuST100Topic01 You can help us with that, and make sure no one else gets hurt. MS08KematuST100Topic01a She trusts you, at least to some extent. She sent you after us, and has no reason to think that you'd do anything other than that. MS08KematuST100Topic01a Convince her that we'll be coming for her, and she needs to leave. Lead her to the stables outside Whiterun. MS08KematuST100Topic01a We'll be waiting to take her into custody. MS08KematuST100Topic01a I'll gladly share a portion of the bounty in return for your efforts in seeing proper justice done. MS08KematuST100Topic01a1 Good. We'll be waiting for you at the stables. MS08KematuST100Topic01a1 It will be good to finally be able to return home. MS08KematuST100Topic01c I'd hoped we could work something out, that you would see reason. MS08KematuST100Topic01c That we could avoid having to kill you. MS08KematuST100Topic01c Very well, then. If that's the way you want to play it, we will. MS08SaadiaCrime01 She sold the city out to the Aldmeri Dominion. Were it not for her betrayal, Taneth could have held its ground in the war. MS08SaadiaCrime02 The other noble houses discovered her betrayal and she fled. They want her brought back alive. MS08SaadiaCrime03 The resistance against the Dominion is alive and well in Hammerfell, and they want justice. MS08SaadiaCrime03 Amazing... you can see how the Akaviri craftsmen were beginning to embrace the more flowing Nordic style... MS08SaadiaCrime03 We're here for Alduin's Wall, right, Esbern? MS08SaadiaCrime03 Yes, of course. We'll have more time to look around later, I suppose. Let's see what's up ahead. MS08SaadiaCrime03 Fascinating! Original Akaviri bas-reliefs... almost entirely intact! MS08SaadiaS25AlikrQuestionTopic You think I'd be in hiding if this was something I trusted town guards to handle? MS08SaadiaS25AlikrQuestionTopic These men are ruthless. Cunning, deceitful... they'll pay off whoever they can. I can't trust anyone here in Whiterun. MS08SaadiaS25AlikrQuestionTopic Guards and Jarls can be bought. And the Alik'r are close; I'm running out of time, so I'm choosing to trust you. MS08SaadiaST10BranchTopic Are you sure? MS08SaadiaST10BranchTopic Oh no! They've found me? I need your help! MS08SaadiaST10BranchTopic Please, come with me. I need to speak to you privately. MS08SaadiaST10BranchTopic The who? I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about. MS08SaadiaST125FollowUp But where will I go? I can't keep running forever! MS08SaadiaST125FollowUp Oh, come now. You didn't really expect to manipulate people forever, did you? Your luck had to run out sometime. MS08SaadiaST125FollowUp What have you done? MS08SaadiaST125FollowUp What is this? MS08SaadiaST125FollowUp We meet at last, my dear lady. MS08SaadiaST125Response1 After all this, I have to pick up and leave again? MS08SaadiaST125Response1 If you really think this is the only way, I trust you. Let's not waste any time. MS08SaadiaST125Topic What? How? I thought they weren't allowed within the city! MS08SaadiaST160Topic At last. I can rest safely. You have done me a great service, warrior. I cannot thank you enough. MS08SaadiaST160Topic Take this reward. I managed to sneak some of my wealth out of Hammerfell when I left. It's the least I can do. MS08SaadiaST160Topic For now, I will maintain my ruse here. You are always welcome in the Bannered Mare. MS08SaadiaST20Final1 They're mercenaries, only in it for the money. They're led by a man named Kematu. Get rid of him, and the rest will scatter. MS08SaadiaST20Final1 I don't dare show my face, lest they recognize me, so you'll have to find out where they are. MS08SaadiaST20Final2 I heard one of them was just arrested trying to sneak into the city. If he's locked up in the jail, perhaps you can get it out of him. MS08SaadiaST20Final2 Please, I know I'm asking you to do something difficult, maybe even dangerous. I just don't know who else I can trust. MS08SaadiaST20Final2 You've seen them? Then waste no time, head there at once! MS08SaadiaST20Final2 The longer they're around, the more danger I'm in! Please, kill Kematu and end this nightmare for me! MS08SaadiaST20Topic No. There are too many people around. Come with me. MS08SaadiaST20Topic I've told you, we can't talk out in the open. Come with me. MS08SaadiaST20Topic So the Alik'r know where I am? What did they offer you? Gold? How many more of them are coming? MS08SaadiaST20Topic Tell me! MS08SaadiaST20Topic01 Then I need your help and there isn't anyone I can trust here in the city. MS08SaadiaST20Topic01a I am not the person that the people of Whiterun think I am. My real name is Iman. I am a noble of House Suda in Hammerfell. MS08SaadiaST20Topic01a The men who are looking for me, the Alik'r, they are assassins in the employ of the Aldmeri Dominion. They wish to exchange my blood for gold. MS08SaadiaST20Topic01a I need you to root them out and drive them away before they find me and drag me back to Hammerfell for an execution. MS08SaadiaST20Topic01b There will be. Of that, you can be assured. MS08SaadiaST20Topic02 You can't tell them! MS08SaadiaST20Topic02 Please, I need your help and there isn't anyone I can trust here in the city. MS08SaadiaST20Topic03 I'm sorry, just... Just don't hurt me. I know you're not one of them, but you just can't help them. You can't let them know I'm here. MS08SaadiaST20Topic03 Please, will you help me? There's no one here I can trust. MS08SaadiaST20Topic03 I mean it! I'll... I'll cut you in half! MS08SaadiaST20Topic03 So, are you working with them? You think you can take me? You so much as touch me, and you're going to lose fingers. MS08SaadiaST75Topic Good. Wipe them out. So long as one of them is left alive, they will come for me! MS08SaadiaStage199BranchTopic You liar! MS08SaadiaStage199BranchTopic How could you do that to me! MS08SaadiaStage199Final I can go back to my life for now. MS08SaadiaStage199Final And I have you to thank for it. I won't forget this. MS08SaadiaStage199Response1 You could have warned me you were baiting me into a trap. MS08SaadiaStage199Response1 But you're right. This should scatter the rest of them. I can go back to my life for now. MS08SaadiaStage199Response1 You have my thanks. MS08SaadiaStage199Response2 A risky game to play, friend. MS08SaadiaStage199Response2 But now Kematu's gone, and the rest of his snakes should slither back to their desert. MS08SaadiaStage25AlikrQuestion2Topic I don't know for sure. I spoke out against the Aldmeri Dominion publicly; I suspect that's why these men were hired to hunt me down. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic It's none of your concern. All you need to know is that we're paying for information. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic If that doesn't interest you, feel free to walk away. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic We'll stay here. Get back to the College and let them know what's going on. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic That looks like it's the last of them. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic Do we have to? They'd never lift a finger to help us. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic Come on, Arniel. Let's go. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic Get moving, now. I'll be fine. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic I don't see the Arch-Mage. He must've been blown clear. I need you to find him immediately, all right? Make sure he's safe. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic I have no idea what happened. Ancano did it, I think. MS08Stage10AlikrWhyLookingTopic Come on, get up... I need you on your feet. MS08Stage25GuardBranchTopic Done. Convince him to stay out of the city while you're at it. MS08Stage25GuardBranchTopic Takes coin to pay a fine. And you don't have enough. MS08WarriorForceGreetBranchTopic You there. We are looking for someone in Whiterun, and will pay good money for information. MS08WarriorTurnInBranchTopic You have? Where? Tell me now! MS08WarriorTurnInGetPaid Money, if that is what you wish. MS08WarriorTurnInGetPaid Now tell me where she is! MS08WarriorTurninSaadiaInn We cannot go after her, not without drawing attention. MS08WarriorTurninSaadiaInn You must bring her to us. MS08WarriorTurninSaadiaInn Lead her to the Whiterun stables, outside of the city. We will wait for you there. MS09AvulsteinFollowUpFinal I can't do this all on my own. Are you... are you offering to help me? MS09AvulsteinStage10FollowUp1 Anything, anything at all would be a start. Then we can figure out how to get to him. MS09AvulsteinStage10FollowUp1 I'm sorry for doubting you, friend. You have my thanks. MS09AvulsteinStage10FollowUp2 Please, I'm desperate. This is my brother's life! I won't let them take it away! MS09AvulsteinStage10FollowUp2 I beg of you, look for proof of Thorald's capture. The Battle-Borns have it, I just know it. MS09AvulsteinStage10Response2 My brother, Thorald. He was fighting for the Stormcloaks, and went missing. Everyone assumes he's dead. MS09AvulsteinStage10Response2 But he's not. I just know it. The Imperials captured him, and they're holding him someplace. The Battle-Borns know where. MS09AvulsteinStage10Response2 I'd go and search their house for proof, but they want me too. I'd be captured, and then we'll never know what happened to him. MS09AvulsteinStage10Response2 So I need someone to find that proof for me. MS09AvulsteinStage20BranchTopic Anything that confirms that Thorald isn't dead, but is being held captive. I know those Battle-Borns have it. MS09AvulsteinStage20BranchTopic They'd be hiding it, of course. Wouldn't want it to get out that they've been lying this whole time. MS09AvulsteinStage20BranchTopic But you might be able to butter them up enough to lower their guard. MS09AvulsteinStage30BranchTopic I knew it! Let me see, please! MS09AvulsteinStage30BranchTopic The Thalmor? By the Nine, it's worse than I thought. MS09AvulsteinStage30BranchTopic So... Northwatch Keep. Then we know where to hit them. MS09AvulsteinStage30BranchTopic Well, where is it? Forgive me, but I don't dare just trust your word, no matter who you are. MS09AvulsteinStage30BranchTopic I knew he wasn't gone, I just knew it! MS09AvulsteinStage30BranchTopic Please, get that to Avulstein right away. MS09AvulsteinStage30NorthwatchBranchTopic I'll do anything if it means saving my brother. You'll join us, won't you? MS09AvulsteinStage30NorthwatchBranchTopic Thorald can't be left to those... monsters. MS09AvulsteinStage30NorthwatchBranchTopic Lingrah krosis saraan Strundu'ul, voth nid balaan klov praan nau. MS09AvulsteinStage30NorthwatchBranchTopic Stand between us, and prepare yourself. Few can withstand the unbridled Voice of the Greybeards. But you are ready. MS09AvulsteinStage30NorthwatchBranchTopic You have completed your training, Dragonborn. We would Speak to you. MS09AvulsteinStage30NorthwatchBranchTopic Dah... MS09AvulsteinStage30NorthwatchBranchTopic Meyz nu Ysmir, Dovahsebrom. Dahmaan daar rok. MS09AvulsteinStage30NorthwatchBranchTopic Meyz nu Ysmir, Dovahsebrom. Dahmaan daar rok.

MS09AvulsteinStage30NorthwatchBranchTopic Lingrah krosis saraan Strundu'ul, voth nid balaan klov praan nau. MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Agree I'll round up what men I can, and meet you outside Northwatch Keep. We'll get in and out as fast as possible. MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Agree I'll see you there. MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Agree There's no time. We've got to get you out of here! Come on, let's go! MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Agree What in the world? MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Agree I'm here! I knew I'd find you! MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Agree Brother? Is... Is that you? MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Agree Thorald? Thorald! MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Agree Unngh... Uhhh... MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Alone What? You, alone, reasoning with the Thalmor? That's madness, friend. MS09AvulsteinStage30Response1Alone You're serious, aren't you? MS09AvulsteinStage30Response2 Are you sure? I doubt you stand a chance against the Thalmor. MS09AvulsteinStage30Response2 I can have a group of men ready at a moment's notice. Many would be willing to help rescue my brother. MS09AvulsteinStage30Response2No Exactly. Together we stand more of a chance of making this work. MS09AvulsteinStage30Response2No Make your way to Northwatch Keep in Haafingar. I'll meet you near there, and we'll plan our assault. MS09AvulsteinStage30Response2Yes Very well. I'll give you a chance. But if you can't do it, I will. MS09AvulsteinStage50KeepBranchTopic We kill every Thalmor between us and Thorald, and we bring him out alive. Let's go. MS09AvulsteinTriggerFollowUp1 Thorald... Thorald Gray-Mane? Fighting for the Stormcloaks, disappeared and believed dead? MS09AvulsteinTriggerFollowUp1 You really don't know anything about this, do you? MS09AvulsteinTriggerFollowUp2 Because they've got Thorald locked away somewhere, and if they find me here I'll disappear too! MS09AvulsteinTriggerFollowUp2 I am not going to let that happen! MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 A likely story. They won't even do their own dirty work now, eh? Well, you won't get the better of me! MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 Now tell me where my brother is! MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 Enough! That's enough. I surrender... I surrender. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 Peace! Everyone stand down. That's an order. Stand down! MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 Yield. I yield, Stormcloak! The city of Markarth is yours. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 Stop! Enough! Stand down! MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 The city is yours. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 It's over! Everyone stop! MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 I surrender... I surrender... MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 Tell me, Vignar. Was all this worth it? MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 How many of those corpses lining our streets wear the faces of men who once called you friend? What about their families? MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 One day when you can see past your own interests, you will come to see that we were right. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 And this... This is all wrong. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 If this was my Empire, I'd be able to worship whoever I damned well pleased. You wish to see an Empire without Talos? Without its soul? MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 We should be fighting those witch-elves, not bending knee to them. The Emperor is nothing more than a puppet of the Thalmor. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 Skyrim needs a High King who will fight for her, and Whiterun needs a Jarl who will do the same. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 A bit melodramatic, even for you Laila. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 Pack your things and go. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 A convenient position to hold now. But mark my words, old man, in the days to come, Ulfric will spread his rebellion thin. And what then? MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 We need the Empire, as much as it needs us. We Nords are the Empire! Our blood built it. Our blood sustains it! You of all people should know that. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 We Nords were proud warriors once. And we still could be. Evidenced by the men and women who fought and died bravely today. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 You could see that if you had any faith left in that black heart of yours. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 But no, you're content to snatch scraps falling off the Emperor's table. Fine. Take my home. Take my city. May it burn down around you. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 You think this is personal? MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 The Empire has no place in Skyrim... not any more. And you? You have no place in Whiterun anymore. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 Don't worry. We'll take good care of your city when you're gone. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 When Ulfric Stormcloak becomes High King, Skyrim will finally be the way my ancestors intended. It's a new day in Markarth. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 You never were able to see the forest for the trees, were you? MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse1 How kind of you. And I've brought an army to give you a going away parade. MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse2 No? So you don't know anything about my brother? MS09AvulsteinTriggerResponse2 Then what are you doing here? MS09BattleBornInitialTopicTopic Just one more thing the Gray-Manes want to blame on others. MS09BattleBornInitialTopicTopic It's not my fault they turned their backs on the Empire, or their mule of a son raised arms against it. MS09BattleBornInitialTopicTopic And yet they want to heap the fault on my family's good name? Bah. MS09BattleBornInitialTopicTopic More bad blood between the houses. Fralia is convinced our family is somehow at fault for the loss of her son. MS09BattleBornInitialTopicTopic There's no reasoning with these people anymore. MS09FraliaEndBranchTopic Is he? You've saved him?! I must see him at once! MS09FraliaEndFollowUp1 What? After all this, I can't even see him? MS09FraliaEndFollowUp1 How... How do I know you're telling me the truth, and not just what I want to hear? MS09FraliaEndFollowUp2 "...for it bears aloft next summer's seeds." That's my boy. MS09FraliaEndFollowUp2 So it's true, then. For now, it's enough to know that he's alive. I can find peace in that. MS09FraliaEndFollowUp2 Thank you, dear friend. You've given me back my son. MS09FraliaEndReward I'd had Eorlund forge this for Thorald. It was to be a present for his return. I suppose he can't have it now. MS09FraliaEndReward Why don't you take it? We can always make another for the day when this war ends and Thorald can come home. MS09FraliaEndReward With Eorlund gone, I'm afraid I can't offer you much in the way of thanks. But please, take this. It's the least I can do. MS09FraliaInitialFollowUp1 It's not wise to discuss it here. Please, if you truly wish to help, meet me at my home. I'll tell you the whole story. MS09FraliaInitialFollowUp2 Please, visit me at my home. I can tell you the whole story. MS09FraliaInitialFollowUp2 I just... I just know it. I can feel it in my heart. You have to believe me. MS09FraliaInitialTopic All I can think about is my son, my Thorald... they say that he was killed, but I know better. I know my son is alive! MS09FraliaInitialTopic Those Battle-Born... they're in with the Imperials. They know it too, and yet they lie to my very face! MS09JonOlfinaBranchTopic You what? MS09JonOlfinaBranchTopic Oh no. No, no, no. This can't be happening. MS09JonOlfinaBranchTopic Please, you can't tell anyone. It must remain a secret! I'll do whatever you want. MS09JonOlfinaResponse1 Okay, okay! MS09JonOlfinaResponse1 All I know is that Idolaf made some effort to find out what happened to him, but was told to stop asking questions. MS09JonOlfinaResponse1 He got some letter from the Legion and has left it alone since then. MS09JonOlfinaResponse1 I'll prove it to you, all right? I'll get you the letter. Just... meet me at the statue of Talos, and don't tell anyone about this. MS09JonOlifnaFollowUp1 What makes you think I know anything? Everyone knows he's dead and gone! MS09JusticiarDefaultViewTopic That's privileged information. Now move along. MS09JusticiarGiveOrder What? MS09JusticiarGiveOrder Well... This seems to be in order. Very well, follow me. MS09JusticiarThoraldBranchTopic Are you joking? MS09JusticiarThoraldBranchTopic Even if we had a prisoner by that name, the only way he'd be released is by order of the Imperial Legion. MS09JusticiarThoraldBranchTopic Now I suggest you turn around and go back the way you came. MS09JusticiarThoraldBranchTopic Are you joking? MS09JusticiarThoraldBranchTopic Even if we had a prisoner by that name, the only way he'd be released is by order of the Imperial Legion. MS09JusticiarThoraldBranchTopic Now I suggest you turn around and go back the way you came. MS09Stage100Final1 I cannot stay. Not here, not in Whiterun. It likely won't be safe for Avulstein, either. MS09Stage100Final1 Our best hope now is to fall in with the ranks of the Stormcloaks. MS09Stage100Final1 But would you do me a favor? Tell my mother to suffer the winter's cold wind, for it bears aloft next summer's seeds. She'll know what it means. MS09Stage100Final1 I thank you again, friend. You've given me my life back. MS09Stage100Final1 I don't dare return to Whiterun. But my mother... She'll need some consolation. MS09Stage100Final1 Tell her... tell her to suffer the winter's cold wind, for it bears aloft next summer's seeds. She'll understand. MS09Stage100Final1 Though shall mourn my brother, I thank you, friend. You've given me my life back. MS09Stage100Response1 Of course. I should've known. Avulstein was behind this, wasn't he? MS09Stage100Response1 Of course. I should've known. This was all Avulstein's idea, wasn't it? Where is he? MS09Stage100Response1 I'll see you at Northwatch Keep, friend. MS09Stage100Response1 Please, get word to my mother. MS09Stage100Response1 Let's go, let's go! MS09Stage100Response2 A wise decision, but I fear he may not be safe there anymore. MS09Stage100Response2 They'll go looking for me, and Whiterun will be the first place they search. MS09Stage100Response2 So he might still be in there? MS09Stage100Response2 I don't dare go back in now. I'll just have to hope that in the confusion he can slip out. MS09Stage100Response2 Avulstein... you stupid boy... MS09Stage100Response2 What is my freedom worth, if the price is my brother's life? MS09Stage100Response3 He must have been very convincing. MS09Stage100Response3 I've never known Avulstein to be that convincing! Where is the little scamp? MS09Stage100Response3 I can't believe you came for me! MS09Stage100Response3 Get to the nearest way out! MS09Stage100Response3 We've got to find Thorald quickly! MS09Stage10AvulsteinFGResponse1 I know that Thorald's not dead. I just know it. The Imperials have him, and are keeping him somewhere. But I don't know where. MS09Stage10AvulsteinFGResponse1 Those damned Battle-Borns... they know something. They're hiding it. They practically taunt us with it. They must have some sort of proof! MS09Stage10AvulsteinFGResponse1 There's got to be something in that house of theirs. I just know it. MS09Stage10AvulsteinFGResponse1 I don't dare leave the house myself. So I need your help. MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic So, you're here to help? MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic Who are you? What are you doing here? MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic Are you working with the Battle-Borns? Speak now before I put you in the ground! MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic All right, mother. MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic I can't take any more of this. No weapons, please. Let's just talk. MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic We can't trust anyone! Who knows what they'll do if they find me here. MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic How do we know he's not spying for the Battle-Born? This was foolish! MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic How do we know she's not spying for the Battle-Born? This was foolish! MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic Avulstein, put that down! He's here to help us find Thorald! MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic Avulstein, put that down! She's here to help us find Thorald! MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic Mother, what's the meaning of this? Who have you brought into our home? MS09Stage10AvulsteinForcegreetTopic Welcome to our home. MS09Stage10FraliaNotAtHome Not here. Let's speak at my home, where we can be alone, unwatched. MS09Stage10FraliaNotAtHome Thorald's disappearance has been hard on all of us, but Avulstein has taken it badly. MS09Stage10FraliaNotAtHome He's afraid of being taken as well, so he hasn't left the house. All he talks about is Thorald. MS09Stage10FraliaNotAtHome Please, help Avulstein if you can. Something has to be done, or we're all going to lose our minds. MS09Stage20FraliaBranch1Topic He's my son. I just... I feel it in my heart. You'd understand if you had children. MS09Stage20FraliaBranch2Topic It's hardly a secret that they have ties to the Empire, and hate anyone who speaks out against it. MS09Stage20FraliaBranch2Topic Thorald did worse. He took action against the Empire, and the Battle-Borns knew it. MS09Stage20FraliaBranch2Topic The Battle-Borns. The Emperor's biggest boot-lickers here in Whiterun. MS09Stage20FraliaBranch2Topic Their connections to the Empire and the Legion are well-known. When Thorald didn't return home, there was no question in my mind. MS09Stage20FraliaBranch2Topic They knew Thorald supported the Stormcloaks, knew he was going to aid them in battle. Made sure he didn't come back. MS09Stage20FraliaBranch2Topic Locked him up someplace to get back at my family. I'm sure of it. MS09Stage20IdolafThoraldInfoTopic Haven't you heard it by now? MS09Stage20IdolafThoraldInfoTopic He made the mistake of supporting the Stormcloaks, and it cost him. Bitter news for his family, but a fate they should've expected. MS09Stage25JonBranchTopic Here's the letter. Now leave me out of this. MS09ThoradQuestionFollowUp2 Last I'd heard, he'd been carted off to Northwatch Keep. Ever heard of it? MS09ThoradQuestionFollowUp2 If you go in there, you don't come out. Ever. MS09ThoradQuestionFollowUp2 Here, see for yourself. This is the last word I received. I'm telling you, he's gone for good. MS09ThoraldHowLongTopic Gods, I've lost count of the days. It feels like an age has passed. MS09ThoraldHowLongTopic I wish I could believe that I'd have held out forever against their torture, but I can't be so sure. MS09ThoraldHowLongTopic Now thanks to you I needn't worry anymore. MS09ThoraldQuestionFollowUp1 I used some contacts in the Legion, asked some questions. Was told I should mind my own business. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic What's there to say? You go against the Empire, you wind up dead. Thorald got what was coming to him. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic Best not to ask too many questions about it. People might get the wrong idea about you. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic Between the two of us, his family is better off thinking he's dead. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic Thorald and I have history, all right? We used to be friends. So I looked into it when he disappeared. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic I found out the Thalmor have him. And they don't let anyone go. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic So I've kept my mouth shut. Like I said, his family is better off believing he's gone, because he's never coming back. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic He fought on the wrong side, and he paid for it. That's all I have to say. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic Oh come on, leave it alone. He's gone. There's no use in talking about it anymore. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic I wish everyone could just get past that and get on with their lives. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic It's been a while now. I miss him, but it's clear he's not coming back. MS09ThoraldQuestionsBranchTopic He knew what he was getting into. I don't... I don't blame anyone. MS09ThoraldStage100BranchTopic I cannot thank you enough for rescuing me from this place. I suspect I'd never again see the light of day otherwise. MS09ThoraldStage100BranchTopic But why would you risk your life for me, a stranger? MS09ThoraldStage55BranchTopic I never thought I'd see another friendly face again. MS09ThoraldStage55BranchTopic We need to get to safety as soon as possible. Let's move. MS09ThoraldStage55BranchTopic I never thought I'd see another friendly face again. MS09ThoraldStage55BranchTopic We need to get to safety as soon as possible. Let's move. MS09ThoraldWhyCapturedBranchTopic I'm not sure. At first they accused me of being a Stormcloak, a secret Talos worshipper... MS09ThoraldWhyCapturedBranchTopic They wanted a confession. To what didn't matter, they simply wanted me to admit to something. MS09ThoraldWhyCapturedBranchTopic I think they wanted to break me. Use me as a way to get to the rest of the Gray-Mane family. MS09ThoraldWhyCapturedBranchTopic I gave them no such pleasure. MS09ThoraldWhyCapturedBranchTopic Lokir of Rorikstead. MS09ThoraldWhyCapturedBranchTopic Ulfric Stormcloak. Jarl of Windhelm. MS09TulliusThoraldBranchTopic The Thalmor? Do you have any idea what you're asking? MS09TulliusThoraldBranchTopic I'm sorry, that's just not possible. It would cause far too many problems. MS09TulliusThoraldBranchTopic The Thalmor? Do you have any idea what you're asking? MS09TulliusThoraldBranchTopic I can only imagine the headaches this is going to cause... MS09TulliusThoraldBranchTopic Here, take this. Assuming they even honor it, you should be able to get your prisoner out. MS10AdelaisaBackHomeBranchTopic Are you ready to go? MS10AdelaisaCodeSix All aboard! MS10AdelaisaFogExposition Hard to say. The weather's taken a bit of a turn, here. MS10AdelaisaFogExposition Haldyn's been known to obscure his hideaways with magic. MS10AdelaisaFogExposition If we take care of him, the way should be clear to properly assault the island. MS10AdelaisaFogExposition This must be him, then. MS10AdelaisaFogExposition This must be her, then. MS10AdelaisaFogExposition I've got a top man on the job right now. He should be returning any moment. MS10AdelaisaFogExposition I've got a sharp woman on the job right now. She should be returning any moment. MS10AdelaisaHaldynTopic You've shown yourself useful so far. All these lunks are too afraid of Haldyn to head in before the fog's cleared. MS10AdelaisaHaldynTopic So if you're willing to perform one more service for the Company, we could put this matter behind us for good. MS10AdelaisaHaldynTopic Take out Haldyn, and we'll handle the rest. MS10AdelaisaHoldUpForASec Let me know. We shouldn't stay here all day. My men want their mead. MS10AdelaisaIDidItYAY There you are. MS10AdelaisaKnowIslandBranchTopic Finally, someone around here that can get things done. MS10AdelaisaKnowIslandBranchTopic Since we're short on soldiers you'll be coming with us, too. No arguments. MS10AdelaisaKnowIslandBranchTopic Anything else you want to say? MS10AdelaisaKnowIslandBranchTopic Sorry isn't good enough, Orthus. There's a lot of gold at stake here, and sniveling isn't going to get it back. MS10AdelaisaKnowIslandBranchTopic Adelaisa, I'm sorry. MS10AdelaisaPostBattleTopic Impressive work. We started the attack once you made the fog scamper away like that. MS10AdelaisaPostBattleTopic Hope you didn't catch any of the fire. MS10AdelaisaPostBattleTopic We can head back whenever you're set. There's celebrating to be done! MS10AdelaisaPreAssaultTopic Well, here we are. We think. MS10AdelaisaWarnAboutHaldyn Haldyn? I've heard of the man, but never guess he'd join up with some pirates. MS10AdelaisaWarnAboutHaldyn This could be even more dangerous than I thought. Head to the ships. We'll plan the assault on the way. MS10Hellos Please excuse the mess. MS10Hellos If you get me the logbook, I'll have proof of Shatter-Shield's treachery. MS10Hellos Let me know when you've learned more about the pirates. MS10Hellos She's probably the one you ought to talk to. MS10Hellos Give those pirates what for! MS10Hellos We're so grateful for your help. MS10Hellos What're you looking at? MS10MercTransitHoldOff Well, hurry it up! MS10MercTransitLessGoTopic You're the one who's coming to Japhet's Folly with us, right? You ready to go? MS10MercTransitLetsGo All aboard! MS10OrthusBringBook Not yet, no. But perhaps an intrepid person such as yourself could help with that. MS10OrthusBringBook They have a dark elf who oversees their operations. Suvaris Atheron. MS10OrthusBringBook She's meticulous to a fault, and keeps a logbook with every transaction she makes. MS10OrthusBringBook If it were to somehow end up in my hands, I wouldn't argue. MS10OrthusGotJournalBranchTopic How did you get it? No, never mind, I probably shouldn't know. MS10OrthusGotJournalBranchTopic I see... it looks like Suvaris has been traveling to Dawnstar to meet with a pirate crew there. MS10OrthusGotJournalBranchTopic Get to Dawnstar and see what you can find out about these rogues. I'd wager they won't be too far from the tavern. MS10OrthusGotJournalBranchTopic Try to find out where their fortress is. The captain, Stig Salt-Plank, has to know something. MS10OrthusHaldynBranchTopic We used to think the pirates had an army of battlemages at their side. MS10OrthusHaldynBranchTopic As it turns out, it was just one. Haldyn. I've since learned more about him. MS10OrthusHaldynBranchTopic The most dangerous sort of man -- quick to anger, but patient in exacting vengeance. MS10OrthusHaldynBranchTopic He also has a fearsome control of Destruction magic. MS10OrthusHaldynBranchTopic I wish you the best of luck. MS10OrthusIntroBranchTopic Sad, isn't it? We can't afford to keep the place running since these attacks started. MS10OrthusIntroBranchTopic Pirates, you see. MS10OrthusIntroBranchTopic Raiding all along the coast, from Hammerfell to Vvardenfell. Only the Shatter-Shields appear safe. MS10OrthusKnowIslandBranchTopic Just in time. This is Adelaisa, one of my superiors from the Company. MS10OrthusKnowIslandBranchTopic She's been dispatched to... eh... see to it that we get back on schedule. MS10OrthusKnowIslandBranchTopic You should probably speak to her. MS10OrthusPirateStory They call themselves the "Blood Horkers." MS10OrthusPirateStory They've been around as long as I can remember, but only recently focused on our ships. MS10OrthusPirateStory A dastardly group, but they're more than simple brigands. Shrewd. Clever. Not to be trifled with. MS10OrthusPreQuestStartTopic I know this place looks horrible -- please don't hold it against the Company. MS10OrthusRewardBranchTopic I can't express how much easier you've made my job. MS10OrthusRewardBranchTopic Maybe Adelaisa will finally ease up, but I expect she won't. MS10OrthusRewardBranchTopic Ah, yes, your pay. The Company thanks you for your services. Should we ever be able to help you, stop by. MS10OrthusShatterShieldConnection A very powerful family in Windhelm. MS10OrthusShatterShieldConnection They run a private shipping operation, and would love to have the docks to themselves. MS10OrthusShatterShieldConnection Wouldn't surprise me if they were in league with the pirates, somehow. MS10PostQuestHellos I can't thank you enough for what you did. MS10PostQuestHellos The East Empire Company is in your debt. MS10PostQuestHellos Glad Orthus was able to find someone competent to help out. MS10PostQuestHellos You handled yourself pretty well back at Japhet's Folly. We'll remember that. MS10StigBribeAttempt Ah, I think that'll do just the trick. MS10StigBribeAttempt You'll need a little more coin than what you're floatin' around with. MS10StigIntroduces Name is Stig Salt-Plank, one of the captains of the Blood Horkers. MS10StigTellMeAboutPirates Oh, we've got other things in mind for our mouths, sweetie. MS10StigTellMeAboutPirates Just... leave me alone! I've brought your mead, now drink it and shut your filthy mouths. MS10StigTellMeAboutPirates Come now, dearie, surely we aren't all that bad. MS10StigTellMeAboutPirates You beasts are the worst. MS10StigTellMeAboutPirates Aye, the war keeps the Empire and the locals too busy to worry about us. Haldyn calls it "our golden age." MS10StigWhereIsTheBase Well I can't just tell that to any skeever that washes up. MS10StigWhereIsTheBase From the look of you, I'm guessing you're more looking to cause some trouble for the Horkers. MS10StigWhereIsTheBase Haldyn will take my hide for this, but Skyrim's been feeling a bit confining lately. MS10StigWhereIsTheBase We draw council at Japhet's Folly. The fools in Windhelm won't go near it, which is fine by us. MS10StigWhereIsTheBase If you'll pardon me now, my crew needs gathering. Should be in Hammerfell before the other Horkers know who let slip their secret. MS10StigWhereIsTheBase You miss them? I don't know how many times I feared for my life. MS10StigWhereIsTheBase There were many good battles, friend. I miss those days. MS10StigYouWannaGo It would be my pleasure. MS10WhoIsThisHaldynYouSpeakOf Our secret ingredient, if you will. MS10WhoIsThisHaldynYouSpeakOf A battle-mage of fearsome cunning. MS10WhoIsThisHaldynYouSpeakOf Runs the Blood Horkers, and makes sure the battles end right-side up. MS10WhyNotFightBack Our own security forces are limited, and all the mercenaries are tied up in this ridiculous war. MS10WhyNotFightBack We don't even know their base of operations, and attacking single ships won't really solve the problem. MS10WhyNotFightBack Do you remember the Legion? Fighting the Thalmor in the Great War? MS10WhyNotFightBack I doubt the Forsworn would risk holding this mine a second time. They lost many of their warriors. MS10WhyNotFightBack Are you worried the Forsworn might return? MS10WhyNotFightBack It's the rush of good fortune, my friend. It makes you work harder. MS10WhyNotFightBack I feel like we're mining even more ore than before. MS10WhyNotFightBack Good to see you again, friend! We've opened the mine back up. If you're here for work, I'll buy any ore you have. MS10WhyNotFightBack I never thought I'd see Kolskeggr again. MS10WhyNotFightBack The mine is just how I remember it. MS10WhyNotFightBack It's good to be mining again. MS10WhyNotFightBack I've never seen Pavo so happy. It's good to be back in Kolskeggr. MS11CalixtoAmuletBelongsToWuunferth Wuunferth? Bah. It's purely ceremonial, and he has no use for it. MS11CalixtoAmuletBelongsToWuunferth Besides, I wouldn't want to be the one to give it to him. Gives me the creeps. They say he dabbles in necromancy. MS11CalixtoBuyingAmulet Wonderful. This will be a splendid addition to my private collection. MS11CalixtoPlayerKeepsAmulet Suit yourself. It's only of value to collectors, though. Good luck finding anyone else who will appraise it that highly! MS11CrimeSceneGuardForceGreetTopic Hold it there! Keep your distance. MS11CrimeSceneGuardForceGreetTopic I don't know where we're going, but Sovngarde awaits. MS11CrimeSceneGuardForceGreetTopic Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion. MS11CrimeSceneGuardForceGreetTopic But if they've captured you.... Oh gods, where are they taking us? MS11CrimeSceneGuardForceGreetTopic Watch your tongue. You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King. MS11CrimeSceneGuardForceGreetTopic And what's wrong with him, huh? MS11CrimeSceneGuardHintTopic All right, then. MS11CrimeSceneGuardHintTopic I noticed a trail of blood leading away from here. MS11CrimeSceneGuardHintTopic Helgird's taken the body into the Hall of the Dead to prepare for burial. She's a little crazy, but if she knows anything, it's dead bodies. MS11CrimeSceneGuardIntroTopic Another girl killed. This is Susanna, from Candlehearth Hall. MS11CrimeSceneGuardIntroTopic Served me a drink just a few nights ago... but I can't say I knew her. MS11CrimeSceneGuardPointToUlfricTopic Just like always -- nobody saw anything useful. The bastard's escaped again. MS11CrimeSceneWitness1BranchTopic Eehhh... no. Sorry. But I did notice that her coinpurse was still intact, so whoever did this wasn't after gold. MS11CrimeSceneWitness1BranchTopic I'm going to keep preparing the body, if you'll excuse me. MS11CrimeSceneWitness2BranchTopic Sorry. I thought I saw a fellow running away, but didn't get a good look at him. MS11CrimeSceneWitness3BranchTopic I heard a scream and came running, but she was already... like this... when I got here. MS11GuardHowWasSheKilled Same as the others. Looks like she was stabbed, and then cut apart. MS11GuardHowWasSheKilled It's like an animal got to her, but these are the wounds of a blade. MS11GuardInsinuations Look, there's a war going on, if you hadn't heard. We barely have enough soldiers to walk the streets, much less patrol every corner. MS11GuardPlayerWantsToHelp Look, friend, if you think you can do better than the legion of guards, be my guest. MS11GuardPlayerWantsToHelp You'll need to talk to Jorleif, though. We can't just let anyone go around claiming to be on official business. MS11GuardPlayerWantsToHelp If he's willing, then we'll talk. MS11GuardsGettingIntoHjerimTopic Friga Shatter-Shield's old place? It's been abandoned ever since she was killed. MS11GuardTerribleHowsItGoing We're stretched thin as it is with the war. Nobody has the time to spend on this. Not pleasant, but it's the truth. MS11GuardThereAreMultipleMurders Susanna's the third. It's always the same: young girl, killed at night, body torn up. MS11GuardWantHelp If you want to help, ask some of these gawkers if they saw anything useful. MS11GuardWantHelp I'm going to examine the body before the rats can get to it. MS11HelgirdActualInformation The only unusual thing is the shape of the cuts. MS11HelgirdActualInformation They look like they were made with... well, the ancient Nords used these kinds of curved blades when they embalmed their dead. MS11HelgirdActualInformation I don't know who in Windhelm would even have something like that. Other than me, of course. MS11HelgirdBodyLetsKeepGoing Not really. MS11HelgirdBodyQuestionsBranchTopic Well, she's dead. But I guess that's not unusual, at least not for somebody in here. MS11HelgirdBodyQuestionsBranchTopic I mean, someone who's not me, that is. MS11HelgirdBodyQuestionsBranchTopic Sorry, was only joking with you. MS11HelgirdBodyRightSoUm Oh, yes, right, of course! MS11HelgirdBrushOff Now, I really got to get back to the body. Lot of work to prepare her for the grave. MS11HelgirdIGuessThatsThat I wouldn't hold out too much hope. MS11HelgirdWellThatsALittleObvious I'm too busy tending to the dead to spend my time making more of them. MS11HelgirdWellThatsALittleObvious And I wouldn't very well tell you about the cuts if I had made them, now would I? MS11Hellos This is a shame. MS11Hellos Always sad when someone has to die. MS11Hellos Another one. Terrible. MS11Hellos Large diagonal cut from left shoulder... MS11Hellos Good! MS11Hellos All right, let's give this a try. Ready your ward... MS11HjerimTovaContinuation I think her mother, Tova, has the key. MS11HjerimTovaContinuation Her mother would have had the key, but she... that family is cursed, I tell you. MS11InvestigatingCluesCalixtoAmuletTopic Let me see... ah, yes. This is the Wheelstone. It's an heirloom symbol of the power of Windhelm. MS11InvestigatingCluesCalixtoAmuletTopic Traditionally it's carried by the court mage. MS11InvestigatingCluesCalixtoAmuletTopic I would... eh... be interested in acquiring it. If you're willing to part with it, that is. MS11InvestigatingCluesCalixtoAmuletTopic For a piece like that, I could pay... 500 gold? MS11InvestigatingCluesCalixtoAmuletTopic The Wheelstone? Have you decided to sell it, yet? MS11InvestigatingCluesGuardsAmuletTopic I've never seen anything like it. I would take this to Calixto at the House of Curiosities. He has a good eye for strange trinkets. MS11InvestigatingCluesGuardsAmuletTopic Might even give you a bit of gold for it. MS11InvestigatingCluesGuardsFlyerTopic Uf. Have you been talking to Viola Giordano? She posts those all over the city, and someone keeps taking them down. MS11InvestigatingCluesGuardsFlyerTopic Ask her about it if you want an earful. MS11InvestigatingCluesViolaFlyerTopic I've been following him for months now. Well, not actually following. Trying to find him. MS11InvestigatingCluesViolaFlyerTopic The guards won't help. The people won't help. I'm the only one who thinks he can be caught. MS11InvestigatingCluesViolaInsideHjerimTopic Look here. There's something strange about this cabinet. MS11InvestigatingCluesViolaOutsideHjerimTopic Let's go. I'd rather not stay out here alone any longer than I have to. MS11InvestigatingCluesViolaPostFoundBasementTopic What's it say? MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic That's quite an accusation. I assume you have proof? MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic Anyone seen entering or leaving? Any strange lights or unusual noises? MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic No. MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic So you don't know anything about this house? MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic I'm not going to warn you again. MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic Once more and I'm going to have to kill you. MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic Don't do that again. Last warning. MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic You're pushing your luck. MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic What's the matter with you? MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic Stop that. MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic Watch it! MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic Hey, be careful! MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic I'm on your side! MS11JorleifAccusationOfWuunferthTopic What are you doing? MS11JorleifButcherPermissionTopic These are difficult times indeed, when men stalk their brethren like beasts. MS11JorleifButcherPermissionTopic My men are stretched thin as it is. If you offer your aid, I gladly accept. The guards will be told to assist you as necessary. MS11JorleifButcherPermissionTopic I'm happy to lend a hand as much as I can, as well. MS11JorleifPresentEvidence I don't want to believe it. Wuunferth has been a trusted friend to Ulfric for many years. MS11JorleifPresentEvidence It pains me to see that the whispers had truth to them. MS11JorleifPresentEvidence Wuunferth shall be apprehended. I thank you for your diligence in getting to the bottom of this matter. MS11JorleifPresentEvidence The streets of Windhelm are now safe. MS11JorleifQuestOverTheEnd You've done this city a mighty service, friend. MS11JorleifQuestOverTheEnd I believe you'll find the guards to be a bit more cordial with you in the future. MS11JorleifQuestOverTopic I'm glad you were able to correct your mistake. I'll release Wuunferth immediately. MS11JorleifQuestOverTopic Ysmir's beard! The man was always a bit odd, but I wouldn't have expected... MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Indeed. I... I thought you captured the Butcher. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic You said the city was safe, now. How could this have happened? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic All the wood furniture in this inn is rotting to the core. Do you know why that is, Kleppr? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I don't know, my darling wife. I assume you're going to tell me? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic It's rotten because the wood is cheap and its soaked with ale! Now we'll have to replace all the furniture before bugs set in. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Assur had to move away because of the Empire. But we get to stay. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic The mages don't let us go in the College. They said it's not safe in there. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Assur says his pa says the College made lots of bad things happen, but the mages I've seen look nice. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Assur and I are playing a game. Don't tell him where I am! MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic There's not many people left in Winterhold, so I only have Assur to play with, and sometimes he's mean. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Assur always wants to play "Hunt the Elf" and he makes me be the Elf. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Pa says the Empire made us leave, but the Empire just does whatever the elves tell them to. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic How come you're in Winterhold? My pa says people like you are the reason no one lives here anymore. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic We don't get many people like you visiting Winterhold. Usually it's elves. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic My pa says elves are bad and not to trust 'em. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Did you know that most of Winterhold fell into the sea? I heard it's because of that College. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Someday I'm gonna grow up and be the Jarl. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I heard the College teaches you how to kill people with magic. Is that true? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I'm just the Housecarl. If you need something, you should speak to Kraldar. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I'm very busy, you know. I'm the only one Kraldar can rely on to assist him. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Kraldar's family was once very powerful in Winterhold. It's my honor to assist him even now. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Kraldar has big plans for Winterhold. We'd be better off if he was in charge. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Some people can't be trusted to accomplish anything that's asked of them. They don't take pride in their work. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I'm not one to complain, but I'm not sure why Kraldar insists on keeping Malur Seloth around. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic My job is to serve the Jarl, not waste time talking with travelers. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Thonjolf is convinced I've got some connections at the College, so he goes easy on me. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I don't really know anyone at the College. I guess everyone just assumes I do because I'm a Dunmer. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic People won't say it, but they're afraid of me, so they leave me alone. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic It turns out that if people think you're some sort of secret wizard, they'll let you get away with a lot. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I'm trying to do as little as possible. You're getting in the way of that. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic With the Empire's help, Winterhold will be back on its feet in no time. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic There's yet hope that our relationship with the College can be repaired. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Winterhold may not look impressive, but it has a very rich history. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Winterhold was once the capital of Skyrim, you know. Quite an honor. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I'd like nothing more than to see Winterhold regain its former glory. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic It's hard to recover from something like the Great Collapse, but I believe Winterhold can do it. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic The College of Winterhold is truly an asset to our city... err, town. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I have a very close relationship with Savos Aren, the current Arch-Mage. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Just say the word if you need a drink or something to eat. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic We may not have as much to offer as Whiterun or Solitude, but we'll do what we can to make your stay a pleasant one. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Winterhold doesn't offer much, but we like living here. Been here all our lives. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic If you're here for the College, don't let the folks in town bother you. Just try and keep to yourself. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic The Mages at the College keep to themselves for the most part, so we don't see much of them. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Most of our business comes from folks traveling to and from the College. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic If you need a drink, just say the word. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Something I can get for you? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Turns out who runs Winterhold doesn't change much. Can't say I'm surprised. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I won't complain about Korir being gone, but I don't expect things to really be any different. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic If there's anything you need, just let me know. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic If you've business with the College, you're welcome to stay here. It's where most of our business comes from, in fact. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Unlike some folks here in town, we have nothing against the College or the people that come and go. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Don't worry about Nelacar. He has a permanent room here at the Inn, but he keeps to himself and doesn't cause any trouble. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Let me know if you need anything. We're here to provide. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Without us looking out for Winterhold, it's doomed. Simply doomed. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I'd rather see the Sea of Ghosts swallow Winterhold entirely than have it run by the Empire. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Ours is the only family left that truly cares what happens to Winterhold. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Korir will be the first to tell you that if it weren't for that College, we'd all be better off. I agree with him. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Winterhold might yet thrive if that College had never been built. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic We do the best we can, even though we have next to nothing. But we Nords don't give up, not ever. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Assur is going to grow up to be a great man, because he'll have lived through such hardship. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Driven out of my own home. After all this, I can't believe it. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic It wasn't enough that the College still stands, now the damnable Empire has Winterhold. I hope they all freeze to death. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I don't care how many Colleges they build, or how much the sea swallows up. I'll outlast them all. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic You know Winterhold used to be the seat of power in Skyrim? Now it's a shell. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Few will admit it, but we know the truth about the Great Collapse. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Those cursed mages... It's their fault Winterhold is gone. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic The College is the worst thing that's ever happened to Winterhold, maybe to Skyrim. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic What is it now? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic You want something? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Empire's in charge now, huh? Only a matter of time before we start getting bothered by them Thalmoricars... err, Justimors... Y'know, them elves. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Unless you're bringin' me another round, you can just keep walking. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I'm just trying to have a quiet drink here, all right? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic It's not like there's anything to do here but drink anyway. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic You ask me, not enough of Winterhold fell off into the sea. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Nothing to do here but drink till you forget you got nothing to do. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I'll sell just about anything, if it's worth my time. Keep that in mind, will you? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I do what's necessary so we can get by. Have to, since I can't count on my brother for anything. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Things are easier now that I don't have to worry about Ranmir anymore. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I still can't believe you were able to help Ranmir pull himself together. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Without all our money going to drink, I can afford to expand my selection a bit. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic If you're looking for Ranmir, he's either passed out in bed, or working on winding up that way. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic My brother's a good-for-nothing drunk. We'd have lost the house by now if it were up to him. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Just because we live in the middle of nowhere doesn't give Ranmir the right to drink himself into oblivion. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Ranmir has no problem drinking himself under the table, so I have to be the one to make ends meet. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I don't deal with any College applicants these days, so don't bother asking. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic My days at the College are long behind me, but I prefer to stay close by. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Dagur and I have an understanding. He gives me privacy, and I make sure my experiments don't blow up his inn. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic If you're here for sight-seeing, well then you've seen the sights. Might as well head somewhere warmer. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Don't worry about those Stormcloaks. You're safe from them here. As if they'd want the place anyway. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Keep clear of the College, and keep yourself out of trouble. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Hard to believe I ever complained about Riften being cold... MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Take care if you're venturing too far from town. That's a bitter wind coming off the Sea of Ghosts. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Winterhold belongs to Skyrim, not the Imperials, or the Mages. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Don't worry, my love. Just show the bugs your adoring face, and they'll scurry away in complete fear in no time. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic You're an idiot, Kleppr. Why did I ever marry you? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Not a day goes by I don't ask that question myself, my dear. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Frabbi, my dear loving wife, could you please clean out our guest rooms? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Clean the rooms yourself Kleppr. It's not like you do anything important around here. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic No, just check in the guests and manage the coin and keep a roof over your head. No, nothing important. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Kleppr, you idiot! Can't you do anything right? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic What? What did I do this time? I was just standing here! MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic You were just standing there when you were supposed to be serving drinks to our customers! MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Shouldn't you be helping me then, wife of mine? Sharing my problems? Being my better half? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I am your better half. And your better half is telling you to stop being an idiot and serve the customers their drinks! MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic How are your chores coming, my son? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Today I've cleaned the linens, washed the floors, and checked in on all our guests. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Ah, my son, you'll be a fine innkeeper someday, like your father. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic But mother says you're a terrible innkeeper! MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic That's right! Worst innkeeper in all of Skyrim! MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Never mind your mother, Hreinn. You listen to me, and you'll be a great man one day. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Father, why do you and mother fight so much? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic We don't fight, son. We, um, talk. Loudly. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Will I need to talk so loudly with my wife when I get married? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Dibella's Heart, son, I hope not. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic How are your chores coming, son? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic I've been cleaning up spills and there is fresh linen for the rooms. MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Aren't you wonderful! Why can't your father be more like you and your sister? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic Are you going to walk over to father and start hitting him again? MS11SecondCrimeSceneGuardViewTopic No, not right now. Maybe later, if I'm still upset. MS11SecondCrimeScenePointerToWuunferth Obviously. You should visit the Bloodworks to talk to Wuunferth -- we need to figure out where the evidence went wrong. MS11TovaFindingDaughter I've had enough troubles recently. What is it that you're after? MS11TovaForgivenessPlease Good day. MS11TovaGettingIntoHjerimPostIntroBranchTopic I'm sorry -- she was very dear to me, and it's rather painful to think about. MS11TovaGettingIntoHjerimPostIntroBranchTopic I'd rather not talk about my daughter, if you'll excuse me. MS11TovaNeedKey Hjerim? Well, I'm not sure what you think you'll find there, but you're welcome to have a look. MS11TovaRespectMyAuthority Well... all right. What exactly do you need to know? MS11TovaTryingToFindOut Well... all right. What exactly do you need to know? MS11ViolaGuardsUseless They say they're too busy with the war -- I say what good is winning a war if we're still terrorized by one of our own? MS11ViolaPeopleAreLazy Oh, they care all right. Just none of them thinks to do anything about it. MS11ViolaPeopleAreLazy They say I'm just snooping around bothering people, but I'm trying to save lives! MS11ViolaPosterExplanation I've been trying to put those up around the city, to warn people. Have them keep their eyes open. MS11ViolaPosterExplanation But someone keeps taking them down. MS11ViolaPosterExplanation You say you found it in Hjerim? Friga's old place. Let's go have a look around there. MS11ViolaPosterExplanation I've got a feeling about this one. MS11ViolaThinksItsWuunferth Wuunferth. There have been rumors swirling about him for years. As long as I can remember. MS11ViolaThinksItsWuunferth But he's a dangerous man. It's why they call him "the Unliving." I wouldn't approach him directly. MS11ViolaThinksItsWuunferth This information needs to go straight to the steward. He'll listen to you. MS11ViolaToHjerimExclamationPoint Follow me. MS11ViolaToHjerimExclamationPoint I'll meet you over there. MS11WuunferthCalixtoDenigration Eehh.. Calixto and his books are often confused about such matters. It happens to the best of us. MS11WuunferthCSIMoment I've been noting a pattern to when the killings happen. MS11WuunferthCSIMoment Now that we know they're tied in to some sort of necromantic ritual, I think I know when the next might occur. MS11WuunferthCSIMoment Let's see. From a Loredas of Last Seed until a Middas of Heartfire... it will happen soon. Very soon. MS11WuunferthCSIMoment Keep watch in the Stone Quarter tomorrow night. That's almost certainly where the killer will strike next. MS11WuunferthHatesNecromancy Necromancy? I am a member of the College of Winterhold, in good standing! MS11WuunferthHatesNecromancy They haven't allowed necromancy for hundreds of years! MS11WuunferthInPrisonBranchTopic Oh, isn't that a shame. And here I am in the Bloodworks. MS11WuunferthInPrisonBranchTopic Looks like you aren't such a sharp investigator after all. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo I'd take it to Calixto. He's got a good eye for pieces like that. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo I don't know if I've ever seen any of those before. I've heard about them, though. Sorry, can't help you. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Sorry, I don't know anything about those kinds of things. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Not very good quality, is it? Probably came from the Gray Quarter. Have a talk with Revyn Sadri. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo He usually knows what's going in and out of that place. Thankfully that means I don't have to. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Looks like something one of the dark elves would wear. Ask Revyn Sadri, he probably sold whatever it used to be. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Nothing anybody I know would wear. Maybe ask one of the Dark Elves, they usually have some kind of rag falling off of them. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo The one who sells things, what's his name. Oh, yes! Revyn Sadri. Maybe he'd know something. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Of course, of course. But such things are valuable, and usually falling apart anyway. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo I don't see why someone would actually use them. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Although... that court wizard does all manner of experiments. And I know he owns some truly strange things. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Nobody else would even know which end to hold. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo If I were you, I'd go straight to the steward with this information. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Oh, good, more of those. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Did you know Viola Giordano wanted to put one of them on my front door? MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo "Everyone will see it!" she said. Of course! That was my problem with it. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo If you want to ask her about them, good luck. But I'm not going near her. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Are you joking? Even I wouldn't sell something like that. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo They definitely have some magic in them, I can tell you that much. But it's nothing I know about. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo How goes the investigation? MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Any luck finding the Butcher? MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Please, tell me you have good news. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Mmm hmm. Anything else? MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Now that's interesting. Tell me more. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Good observation. What else? MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Well, come back when you have some more evidence. I think you're on the trail, though. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo That's absurd. Come on now. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo So what do you think about it all, then? MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo I hate to admit it, but you're probably right. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo What made you think I was to blame in the first place? I've actually been after the killer myself. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo More of those things. Bah. Viola Giordano's been putting them all around the city. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Frankly, whoever keeps taking them down should get a medal. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Oh, Friga Shatter-Shield's old place? MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Well, since she's not using it anymore, Ulfric might just let you have it, if you have the money. And if he likes you. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Or you could head over to the family and see if they'll let you in. But I wouldn't want to do that myself. Bad luck over there. MS11WuunferthInPrisonResponseSharedInfo Doesn't mean anything to me. Got an unusual shine to it, though. MS11WuunferthKnowsTheAmulet I know it well. Or at least, I've heard of it. I would wager that carving once depicted a skull. MS11WuunferthKnowsTheAmulet That is the Necromancer's Amulet, of legend. MS11WuunferthKnowsTheAmulet It appears you were at least half-right. There is necromancy at the heart of this. MS11WuunferthNoSuchAmulet My what, now? I've never kept a journal, I can assure you. MS11WuunferthNoSuchAmulet What exactly did this amulet look like? MS11WuunferthSoTheySayYoureTheBaddyTopic I beg your pardon? MS12Goodbyes Why are you still standing around here? Go get me the Phial, you fool. MS12Hellos I'm so close to the answer... MS12Hellos May the Eight guide you to the Phial... MS12Hellos Please hurry -- I fear my master doesn't have much time left. MS12Hellos I'll be fine. MS12Hellos Master, you're far too old for this sort of journey. We don't know what's inside... MS12Hellos I'll... I can... just... MS12Hellos You see, you're not well! Have a seat and I'll fetch you some tonic. MS12Hellos He he. Thanks, papa. MS12Hellos Oh, I know it! You keep working hard, like you been doing, and you could be the greatest blacksmith Skyrim has ever seen. MS12Hellos You really think I can be a blacksmith someday, papa? As good as Eorlund Gray-Mane? Or maybe... even as good as you? MS12NurelionGivePhialWalkaway Of course, leave an old man with a ruined dream. Just like everyone else. Fool. MS12NurelionGivePhialWalkaway All right, that's enough. Let's return to our business please. MS12NurelionGivePhialWalkaway All right, that's enough. Back to bed, please. MS12NurelionGivePhialWalkaway In his quarters, with that Thalmor, Ancano. Something urgent, it sounded like. MS12NurelionGivePhialWalkaway We don't know that. We don't even know what it is. Where is Aren, anyway? MS12NurelionGivePhialWalkaway The Arch-Mage believed it important. It must be powerful. MS12NurelionGivePhialWalkaway I still don't see why we had to bring it back here. MS12NurelionGotPhialTopic This... it matches every description of the Phial that I've found in lore. But if it can't hold liquid, there's no way of knowing. MS12NurelionGotPhialTopic How did you manage to damage it, then? This is what I get for not retrieving it myself. MS12NurelionIntroPhialSharedInfo Just a man's life work, is all. I've finally derived the location of the White Phial, but this doting busybody won't let me get it. MS12NurelionMotivationBranchTopic I have spent my entire life searching for it. MS12NurelionMotivationBranchTopic It brought me all the way to these frozen reaches from the warm embrace of Summerset Isle. MS12NurelionMotivationBranchTopic Entire years spent in libraries. Seeking out tiny villages with local legends that contain but a whisper of a hint of the Phial. MS12NurelionMotivationBranchTopic I even named my shop after it, hoping that it might attract anyone who had heard of it. MS12NurelionMotivationBranchTopic And now it's within my grasp... but the Eight, it seems, have chosen me for their amusement. MS12NurelionMotivationBranchTopic ... for in my current condition, I'll never be able to lay my hands on it. MS12NurelionOfferThanks You would do that? It's good to know there are some people out there who are willing to help an old man. MS12NurelionOfferThanks It's buried with its maker, Curalmil, in a long forsaken cave to the west of here. MS12NurelionOfferThanks Curalmil was a crafty one, even in death. You would need the skills of a master alchemist to reach his resting place. MS12NurelionOfferThanks Luckily for you, I've already made the mixture. Here, take it. MS12NurelionOfferThanks Please... don't dally. I've wasted enough time arguing with my useless assistant here. MS12NurelionOfferThanks Bah. If there was a tonic that could help me, I would have found it by now... MS12NurelionPhialInfoBranchTopic A legendary bottle, forged in the days when Skyrim was just starting its turn to ice. MS12NurelionPhialInfoBranchTopic A small container, made of the magically infused snow that first fell on the Throat of the World. MS12NurelionPhialInfoBranchTopic It is said that the Phial will replenish whatever fluid is placed inside of it. MS12NurelionPhialInfoBranchTopic For an alchemist like myself, it is the most pure expression of my art. To create from nothingness is... poetry. MS12NurelionPlayerDefendsHimself Figures -- I doubt you have sufficient knowledge to harm the Phial even if you wanted to. MS12NurelionPlayerDefendsHimself Either way, this is the end of it. MS12NurelionPlayerDefendsHimself Now if you'll excuse me, I'm not quite in the mood to entertain guests. I trust you can show yourself out. MS12NurelionPlayerDefendsHimself Here's for your trouble. MS12QuintusAboutBriarHeartTopic The final tempering of the Phial was performed with a type of old magic that's been lost since the Dragon War. MS12QuintusAboutBriarHeartTopic The nearest modern incarnation of it is the strange rituals practiced by the Forsworn. MS12QuintusAboutBriarHeartTopic With the heart of one of their Briar Warriors, I can lock the Phial's magic into its physical form. MS12QuintusAboutBriarHeartTopic It's difficult to explain to the layman -- forgive me if I begin waxing alchemic. MS12QuintusAboutPowderTopic The ivory produced by those beasts is as hard as iron. But the giants have found ways to make it yield. MS12QuintusAboutPowderTopic They're able to grind it down so fine that it can be infused into the lattice of packed snow. MS12QuintusAboutPowderTopic The finished material has the delicate nature of fresh powder snow, but the strength of the hardest steel. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic On top of the Throat of the World is a patch of snow that's never melted. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic They say the Greybeards taught it to ignore the sun, and heat simply washes over it. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The original Phial was made from this snow. We'll only need a small bit for the repairs. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Looking for my husband Nazeem? Check the Jarl's backside. That's usually where he stuffs himself these days. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Are you married? You look the type. Make sure you treat your wife with the respect she deserves. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Here you stand, talking to a married woman. Why? Am I that interesting? Or perhaps there are other things on your mind. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Here you stand, talking to a still grieving widow. Why? Am I that interesting? Or perhaps there are other things on your mind. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Men are all alike, from Skyrim to Hammerfell. They care only for war and politics, and treat their women like cattle. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I work for Belethor, at the general goods store. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Come by Belethor's shop, at the market. I'm sure we've got something you need. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Don't mean to be rude, but I'm too busy to talk right now. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic This war's as stupid as our feud with Clan Gray-Mane. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Need something? Unlike the rest of my family, I've got work to do. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My brother Jon's got the right of it - join the Bards College and avoid this pointless war. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My brother Jon had the right of it - join the Bards College and avoid this pointless war. Too bad he died before he had the chance. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My boy Lars has been getting beat senseless, and by a girl, no less! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The finest cuts, fresh from the wilds! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Chops and steaks fit for a jarl! Come and see my selection of finest-quality meats! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Tired of bread and stew? Had enough of fish and fowl? Treat yourself and your kin to a choice cut of steak or a tender rack of ribs! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Need something? Talk to my brother, Elrindir. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You should try the venison. It's delicious. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Do you hunt? The plains outside Whiterun are ripe with game. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Shhh. You'll scare the deer. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Oh! You startled me. I wasn't expecting company out here. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You look rather pale. Could be Ataxia. It's quite a problem back home in Cyrodiil. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic These Stormcloaks are ridiculous. They won't shop here because they think I'll sell them poisoned tonics. I should just go back to Cyrodiil. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Pardon me, but do I detect a case of the Rattles? I've got something for that. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I have several elixirs for sale. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Maybe a hardy Nord like you doesn't need a cure-all. Hmm? What about an invisibility potion? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm... Well, who I am isn't important. Let's leave it at that, hmm? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Forget Solitude or Windhelm. Whiterun was the crown jewel of Skyrim before... Well, before... Never mind. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic This was such a glorious city. But then everything had to change. The Empire came... and my brother was lost... MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Ah, but Skyrim! Skyrim is supreme among all nations! Our people, our native people, are unmatched in all Tamriel! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic One day the war will end and the true heirs of Skyrim will inherit this great realm. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Imperials, Stormcloaks... I don't care who's in charge around here. I just want to make money! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Everything's for sale, my friend. Everything. If I had a sister, I'd sell her in a second. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'd even buy one of your relatives, if you're looking to sell. Ha ha ha ha. That's a little joke. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You just let me know what you need. I am at your beck and call. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Welcome to Belethor's General Goods. Welcome, indeed. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I know what you're thinking: "This Belethor, how could he part with such magnificent treasures?" MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I might just be a servant among lords, but don't think for a moment I don't take my duties as seriously as the jarl himself takes his! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic If my cleanin' gets in your way, just say the word an' I'll be off. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic This here is Dragonsreach, an' it's my task to see it looks fit for a jarl, night an' day. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Ain't nobody high and mighty in these halls, exceptin' the Jarl. And don't you forget! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Don't you go trackin' your dirty boots on my clean floor! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Soldiers! They're everywhere these days. And not a one of them knows how to pick up after themselves. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My poor Fralia thinks Thorald's still alive, but I know better. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Whiterun belongs to the true sons of Skyrim now, just as it should. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic We Gray-Manes got just as much to be proud of as them Battle-Borns, but you won't see us with our noses in the air. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Got of lot of steel to shape. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Hmm? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I ain't much for talkin'. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Why you still starin' at me? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Never much cared for that Balgruuf myself. He was in the Empire's pocket, so to speak. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Bits and baubles for sale, all crafted by the best blacksmith in Skyrim. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Come see my collection of Gray-Mane's finest trinkets! You'll not find their like in all Tamriel! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Shiny trinkets for your good lady! All crafted by the great Eorlund Gray-Mane himself! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My Eorlund is the finest blacksmith in Skyrim, and that's not just a wife's boasting. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I can't stand those braggart Battle-Borns. They think they're the gods' gift to Whiterun. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Eorlund and I... we both miss our son terribly. Thorald... he went missing, fighting the Imperials. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I...I miss our son terribly, especially since Eorlund died. Thorald... he went missing, fighting the Imperials. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Oh, I always knew my Thorald was alive. Ain't a man in Skyrim who can keep a Gray-Mane down. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Everyone thinks Thorald is dead. But not me. I know my boy is alive out there. Somewhere... MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic When the Stormcloaks took control of Whiterun, it was a victory for all true Nords. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I take my duties as Housecarl very seriously. I won't hesitate to shed blood if my uncle Vignar is threatened. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic It's not easy being a woman in Skyrim, I know. But stay strong, and men will come to respect you, and maybe even fear you. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic What's the matter? You can't stand the sight of a strong Nord woman? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I miss the days when the Gray-Manes and Battle-Borns got along. Ever since the war started, we've been at each others' throats. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic There's nothing a man can do that I can't do better, whether it's serving drinks or slaying trolls. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The daughters of this land are just as strong and loyal as its men. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You wouldn't know it now, but the Gray-Manes and Battle-Borns were once fast friends. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I enjoy this work well enough, but I'm ready to retire. I've been thinking of selling the inn to Ysolda. Anyway, what do you need? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic What can I get you? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Hungry, tired, or just plain thirsty? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm just out and about, love. The Bannered Mare can do without me for a bit, I suspect. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I don't get much time time off from the tavern, but I enjoy it when I do. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'll get back to the Bannered Mare soon enough. Just need to stretch my legs a bit... MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic If it's work you're looking for, Hulda's the one to talk to. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic If you need more food or drink, speak to Hulda. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Mind your manners and pay your bills, and you'll always be welcome. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic There was a great battle here in Whiterun. It was quite thrilling! I must compose a song about it someday. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic If it's a lady you're looking for, you'd best look elsewhere. Once Mikael gets them, they're got. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm a bard by trade. Perhaps you've heard of me? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I don't have much of a reputation in Skyrim yet, but I'm working on that, one sweet lady at a time. Haha! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic No doubt they still tell tales of Mikael and his sweet songs across Cyrodiil, where last I traveled. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I enjoy steady patronage in the Bannered Mare. I do hope you'll watch me perform. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Want to hear a little Nord wisdom? You don't really know a woman 'til you've had a strong drink and a fistfight with her. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Keep walkin', softgut. I'm more woman than you can handle. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I got no quarrel with you, but I won't turn one down, neither. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Welcome to Warmaiden's. Now you, my girl, have definitely come to the right place. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Welcome to Warmaiden's. Now don't let the name worry you - we got plenty o' steel for fightin' men. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic We've got small weapons as well as big. Maces, daggers, that sort of thing. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You look like maybe you need a new weapon. Something big, perhaps? An axe maybe? Or a greatsword? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Most of our weapons were crafted by Adrianne Avenicci. My woman's an artist, is what she is. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Crush, clobber, slash or slice. We've got a weapon for any occasion. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Ah, hello my Nord friend. In the market for some hunting supplies? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Ah, hello my Argonian friend. In the market for some hunting supplies? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Ah, hello my Khajiit friend. In the market for some hunting supplies? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Ah, kinsman. How my heart soars to look upon a brother Bosmer. Please, how can I serve your hunting needs? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Ah... How my heart soars to look upon a sister Bosmer. Please, how can I serve your hunting needs? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Hello, friend. In the market for some hunting supplies? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Hagraven or horker, it matters not. We've got the arrows to fell any game. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic So what can I get you? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Whiterun once again belongs to its rightful heirs. It's a glorious day for Skyrim. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic We Gray-Manes have been feuding with the Battle-Borns for years. There's no more bitter enemy than an old friend. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic When the Empire surrendered to the Aldmeri Dominion, they shamed us all! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The people saw fit to name me Jarl, and I don't intend to let them down. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You're lookin' at a real warrior! At least I used to be. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Look at you! Betcha think you're something, huh? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic For thirty years, I served the Legion as a commander. Fought in the Great War. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Vignar and I have our hands full. It's no small task, running an entire hold. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic When I became Steward, I had to give up the bottle. The people of the hold need me at my best. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'd be dead if not for Vignar. He took me in and helped me turn my life around. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I had a bad time a few years back, an' I turned to drink. But Vignar, he wouldn't let me stay weak. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Oh, I'm just a servant, dear. You want to talk to one of the Companions, I'm sure. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I've been tending to the warriors of Jorrvaskr for as long as I can remember. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I see everything, hear everything and know everything. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Oh, I'm a good keeper of secrets. Have to be, in this hall. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I hope the Empire is sending reinforcements to drive these heathens out of Whiterun. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Olfrid, patron of the great Clan Battle-Born, a name I'm sure you know well. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm as much a Nord as the next man, but I'm no fool. I don't live in the past, like those Gray-Manes. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Eorlund Gray-Mane's a stubborn fool. Our friendship ended when he turned his back on the Emperor. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Eorlund Gray-Mane was a stubborn fool. Our friendship ended when he turned his back on the Emperor. Now he's dead. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Clan Battle-Born's got a proud lineage in Whiterun, but unlike the Gray-Manes, we've also got wealth. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My bloodin' days might be over, but my son Idolaf is out there fightin' for Skyrim! Fightin' for the Empire! Ha! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic It's a miracle these Stormcloaks haven't robbed us blind yet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic There's a rift here in Skyrim, and can't neither magic nor the passin' of time make it right. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Evgir Unslaad has come at last. The "Season Unending." War... without end. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Can you believe those pathetic Gray-Manes still show their face in public? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic There was love between our families. For generations. Now, there is only enmity. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Has the Empire forsaken us? How could Whiterun fall into the hands of these stinking half-wit Nords? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Damn those Gray-Manes to Oblivion. They want to back the Stormcloaks, they'll get what's comin' to 'em. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Avulstein Gray-Mane and I were best friends as children. If I see that traitor again, I'll throw him in jail myself! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The cold, frightening truth is that the Empire represents progress. Anyone who fears progress is a coward. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The Stormcloaks are content to live in the past forever. No wonder the Provincials think we're all baseless savages. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Well met, kinsman. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Well met, traveler. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You know what's wrong with Skyrim these days? Everyone is obsessed with death. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic People have forgotten humor, poetry and romance. I love a good sword fight as much as the next man, but there's more to life. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic It's my desire to enter the Bards College. My parents are hesitant, but I pray they let me attend. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic All I want it is to escape from this madness. And if Olfina can come with me, all the better. But I've probably said too much. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic It's no fun getting pushed around all the time... MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I don't know what you did, but Braith won't even look at me now! So thanks! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My friend Olava? The seer? She says things will get better for me, once I start sticking up for myself. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I can't fight. Not even a little bit. My family thinks I'm a little milk drinker. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic By Sithis, but you are a persistent one. Haven't I told you enough? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Maybe some other time I'll reveal your destiny, hmm? Tea leaves, palm reading, crystal scrying... Oooh! Maybe trepanning? Ha ha ha ha. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Come to Olava for a reading, did you? Sorry, pup, but I'm not quite in the mood. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Oh, I tell the future, all right. When I feel up to the task, that is. But I'm afraid my energies haven't quite peaked yet today. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Ripe fruit and fresh vegetables for sale! Straight from the fields and orchards of Whiterun to your table! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Fresh-baked loaves, still warm from the oven! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I've got a hungry daughter to feed, so selling my produce is really the only thing I care about. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I hope you're looking at me like that because you want to buy something? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I work with my mother, to sell fruits and vegetables. It's fun most days, but hard work. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Did you know there are some fruits that actually grow better in the cold weather? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You'd be surprised how much work it is selling things at a stall. It's not all standing around and chatting. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Praise Talos and all the Divines! Whiterun has been liberated by the true sons of Skyrim! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You have come! You have come to hear the word of Talos! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The Imperials silence us because they fear us! They are cowards! Cowards and fools who have forgotten the truth! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic There are those who would silence the Dragon's truth! But not I! Not Heimskr! His word will be known! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The truth, child of Talos, is that the Dragon's children have come! To purge the world in fire and righteousness! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic He has returned... Oh, how Talos has returned. Helgen has been purged in his light. Will Whiterun be next? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Once I've made enough money trading with the Khajiit caravans, I'm going to buy the Bannered Mare from Hulda. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I spend a lot of time at the market stalls so I can learn the merchant's trade. I need more experience if I'm going to run an inn someday. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic They say there's nothing a Nord woman can't do if she puts her mind to it. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic We Nords are strong, and we're as tough as stone. But I'll bet you didn't know there's some of us with a good head for business, too. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic There's some company I certainly prefer over others. Have you met Mikael? The most amazing bard I've ever heard. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I just want to go home and read. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Excuse me, but I'm trying to read. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Nothing like a good adventure or romance to lose yourself in. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I import books whenever I can. Most Nord works are too bawdy and violent for my tastes. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My daughter Braith says I read too much. "Play with me, mother!" Girls need to learn how to take care of themselves. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Really, I wish my girl would read more. It would certainly keep her out of all those fights. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic If you'll excuse me, I really just want to get home. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You tried mercenary work? It might suit you. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Sometimes I miss the soldier's life, but when I hold my daughter in my arms, I know I made the right choice. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My wife's a good woman. She can be a little hard-headed sometimes, but I love her just the same. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My wife was a good woman. She could be a little hard-headed sometimes, but I loved her just the same. Gods I miss her. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic What're you lookin' at? I'm not afraid of you, ya know. Even if you are my elder. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Boys, girls, dogs, elders - there's nobody I won't fight! MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I don't fight Lars no more, if that's what you're worried about. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Stupid Lars Battle-Born. I fight him almost every day, but it's not much of a fight, 'cause he don't fight back. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I spend so much time among the dead, I sometimes forget how much I miss the company of the living. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic With this terrible war, I'm a bit overwhelmed. As are the catacombs. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic As Whiterun's priest of Arkay, I spread his word whenever I'm able. In the meantime, most of my hours are spent with the city's dearly departed. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I ain't done nothin'. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic What? Why you lookin' at me? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic That Heimskr's crazy. Him and his talk o' Talos. Wish he'd just shut up. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You're in my home. That's right. This here place, Breezehome, it belongs to old Terek. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Oho! And what do you want, hmm? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You can't kick me out of here. You want me gone, you're gonna have to kill me. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Now I don't care about no deeds, or laws, or other nonsense like that. This house was empty, so I settled in. And now it's mine. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm a generous man, to those who treat me right. Might be I'll even let you live here with me, if you mind your manners. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Hello, child of Kynareth. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Lately it seems I am more nurse than priestess, tending to those who have suffered, both in mind and body, from this terrible war. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic These are trying times for us all, I know. Many come to the Temple of Kynareth to pray, and I assist them as best I'm able. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Come to chat with an old woman, hmm? Do your good deed for the day? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Looking for a horse? I own these stables, but Skulvar can help you with a purchase. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Do you like horses? You should visit the stables. I own them, you see. And our stock is excellent. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My friend Maven and I - have you met Maven, in Riften? - we know our place in this world. Know the place of others, too. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying - of course you don't. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Oh, it took years, but I earned my way to the top. I own Chillfurrow Farm, you see. Very successful business. Obviously. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I actually advise the Jarl on political matters. My input is invaluable, of course. But this is all probably a bit over your head. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic There's a nip in the air. Cold won't be good for my crops. Never is. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I own the Pelagia Farm, just outside the city walls. Nimriel takes good care of things for me. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I had my years of war and fighting. Senseless, all of it. All I want now is a rake and a patch of good soil. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Come to Dragonsreach to discuss the ongoing hostilities, like the rest of the "great warriors"? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic It seems this damnable conflict has claimed everyone's passions of late. Me, I prefer my books, and my spells. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic There's a tranquility in magic, don't you think? It is simply energy, to be harnessed by those with the will and knowledge to do so. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Got some good pieces out here, if you're looking to buy. More inside. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I don't claim to be the best blacksmith in Whiterun. Eorlund Gray-Mane's got that honor. Man's steel is legendary. All I ask is a fair chance. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I don't claim to be the best blacksmith in Whiterun. Eorlund Gray-Mane was that and more, but now he's dead. All I ask is a fair chance. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Have you met my father? He's the steward, up at Dragonsreach. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Have you met my father? He was the steward, up at Dragonsreach when Balgruuf was Jarl. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I help my father in more ways than people realize. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You think all the council my father provides the Jarl is his alone? Hmph. Let's just say I advise the advisor, and leave it at that. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Be warned, the Jarl is in a foul mood since the Stormcloaks overran Whiterun. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I serve Jarl Baalgruuf as steward. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The Jarl is, as you can imagine, very busy. Perhaps I can assist you? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The task of Steward is more important than you realize. The Jarl often asks for my invaluable council. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm kept so busy, I don't get to see my daughter as often as I'd like. Perhaps you've met her? Adrianne? She owns the shop, Warmaiden's. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic After Whiterun is retaken, Ulfric will pay in blood for his insolence. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You should be talking to my Steward. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm the Jarl, not a barkeep. Speak your business. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Quickly now, or would you prefer I let Whiterun fall to the Stormcloaks? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You might be a guest in Dragonsreach, but you're starting to try my patience. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic What is it that you need? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You have my attention. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Speak your mind. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic It pleases me to see you again. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic All this standing around is rubbish. We should be taking the fight to the Stormcloaks. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm not a man, I'm a weapon in human form. Just unsheathe me, and point me at the enemy. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My brother takes council from Proventus Avenicci? What a laugh. He takes council from his daughter, and she's a bloody blacksmith. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm the commander of the guard here in Whiterun. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My boys'll keep you safe. Don't you worry. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You're not thinking of causing trouble here in this beautiful city, now are you? 'Cause I'd strongly advise against such foolishness. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'll always be a commander, even if those Stormcloak dogs have stripped away my power. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The Legion will regain control of this city. Mark my words. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Yes? What is it? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I'm commander of the guard, now. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The Stormcloaks can keep this city safe better than those Legion lapdogs. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The security in Whiterun is terrible. Shameful, is what it is. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The guards in this city are all lazy and undisciplined. Things need to change... MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Commander Cauis walks around Dragonsreach like a preening rooster. I could do his job blindfolded.... MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You are a welcome guest, but you must still respect the rules of the Jarl's household. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic We can never rest easy, for Balgruuf's enemies will not. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Please keep your weapons sheathed in the Jarl's presence. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic It seems our enemies have no end of spies, saboteurs and assassins to send against us. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Think very carefully about your next move... MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Exile or no, my duty to Balgruuf remains. Keep that in mind when you approach him, for I will be watching. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Keep your distance... MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Got the fleetest steeds in all o' Skyrim. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Make a move toward Balgruuf, and you're dead. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Gal like you needs a warhorse, I reckon. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Man like you needs a warhorse, I reckon. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Only thing better than ridin' a swift horse is ridin' a swift horse over the enemy. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Lookin' to shatter records or bones? My beasts can do both. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Need a horse? Talk to my father, Skulvar. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Old lady Maiden-Loom owns the stables. But my father and me, we run things. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic So I mostly sweep and shovel. You got a problem with that? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Father says I ain't smart enough to be stablemaster. Some day. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic My father never thought I was smart enough to be a stablemaster. I just wish he was around to see me now. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Come to gawk at the dark elf? MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Well look at us. Like two gray specks in the snow. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I mean no offense. I am but a humble farmer, not a great wanderer, like you. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Ah, hello my good friend. Would you do me a kindness? I seem to be down to my last drop of spirits. Let me tell you, sobriety is highly overrated. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Careful if you cross the river to the east. Old Hajvarr Iron-Hand and his brigands are holed up in that cave, White River Watch. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic The circle of stones to the southwest? That's Secunda's Kiss. The giants hold it sacred, so tread carefully. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You know, I saw something near Shimmermist Cave, to the northeast. Some kind of creature... small and wicked. Never seen its like before. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic If you're heading east, steer clear of Hillgrund's Tomb. Thing about those old crypts - the dead having trouble staying that way. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Looking to do some hunting? Avoid Brittleshin Pass. It's southeast of here. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Yesterday, I saw a dragon fly right over the city. Headed northeast. Toward Shearpoint, by the looks of it. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Be glad you're here in the city, and not out in Riverwood. Those poor sods don't even have a wall. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You should talk to the Jarl up in Dragonsreach, lend any aid you can. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Fear not. Come dragon or giant, we'll be ready. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Need a blade? You should talk to Adrianne, at the forge. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Need supplies? See Belethor at his store. Sleazy little man, but he has good stock. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic If you need potions, you should try Arcadia's Cauldron. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Stormcloaks, Imperials, dragons. Ain't no matter to me what I kill. Let them come. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic I worry about the other settlements in the hold. Unwalled, lightly manned - prime targets for those damned dragons. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Rorikstead's a nice enough little hamlet, but a boring posting for a guard. If a dragon attacks, well... then it'll be a different story. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic You look tired, friend. The Bannered Mare has beds for rent. MS12QuintusAboutSnowTopic Cause trouble in Whiterun, and I'll haul you into the Dragonsreach dungeon myself. MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic He is gone. MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic But thanks to you, he died knowing his life's work was not in vain. MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Marvelous. MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic It doesn't matter. Look, it's refilling with your tonic as we speak. MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic What? How? MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Master, look. It's the Phial. MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic You want a real fight, eh? MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Don't let him get away with this! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Don't let her get away with this! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Get him! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Get her! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Come on, he's not so tough. MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Come on, she's not so tough. MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Twelve septims on the big one! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Fight! Fight! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Drive that snowback to the ground. Come on! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic You just going to stand there and take it? Fight back. MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Who taught you to fight? Keep those hands up! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Get him! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Get her! MS12QuintusAfterNurelionsDeathTopic Come on. Let's see what you're made of. MS12QuintusAlign1 Now, how would you like me to align the Phial's properties? MS12QuintusAlign2 I'm not as skilled as Curalmil, so I'm afraid it will only ever refill with one type of liquid. MS12QuintusAlign2 It's just one of those things that happens. The lungs just... give up. Even elves get old. MS12QuintusAlign2 What's it matter to you? Not like you could do anything about it. MS12QuintusAlign2 Are you sure? MS12QuintusAlign2 Stop bothering me Aicanter! MS12QuintusAlign2 Next season, nephew. Next season for sure.... MS12QuintusAlign2 "Next season for sure..." What? Uncle Calcelmo, I don't understand what you mean. MS12QuintusAlign2 The excavation, Aicantar! Right after I finish my book. We'll start excavating Nchuand-Zel again. MS12QuintusAlign2 Could I maybe, skip the excavation, Uncle Calcelmo? I, uh, I just think you won't need me. MS12QuintusAlign2 Nonsense, you're a vital part of my research team. You'll be there, have no fear! Now, I don't want to hear another word of protest. MS12QuintusAlign2 Filthy natives. Get to work. We have meals to prepare and no time to prepare them! MS12QuintusAlign2 Right away, sir! MS12QuintusAlign2 Always another big meal to cook. Figures. MS12QuintusAlign2 Move it. Get to work. Get to work! MS12QuintusAlign2 Voada, you spilled laundry water in the soup pot again! Do I need to cut off your fingers to teach you a lesson? MS12QuintusAlign2 You touch her, and I swear it'll be your fingers that go missing, you stupid Breton! MS12QuintusAlign2 What was that? MS12QuintusAlign2 Now now, brother. Arnoit is just being his usual gloomy self, he didn't mean it, did you Arnoit? You're just being silly again. MS12QuintusAlign2 Whatever. Just get back to work. Now. MS12QuintusAllGood Here, you should have this. MS12QuintusCanRepair I have some thoughts. There are three crucial elements. Some may be easier to find than others. MS12QuintusCanRepair On the top of the Throat of the World is a patch of Unmelting Snow. No heat can touch it. MS12QuintusCanRepair Then we need the tusk of a mammoth, ground to a fine powder as only the giants know how. MS12QuintusCanRepair The final step is tricky. It requires the briar heart from a Forsworn of the Reach. MS12QuintusCanRepair If you can bring me these materials, the Phial can again be made whole. MS12QuintusCheapskate Oh, I'm sorry about that. MS12QuintusHeyThanksDude I want to thank you for your help. I know my master can be a bit short at times. MS12QuintusNurelionIsDead As am I. MS12QuintusNurelionIsDead You acted very nobly in helping my master realize his life's work. Thank you for that. MS12QuintusNurelionIsDead As for myself, I've always been content to simply be an alchemist. MS12QuintusNurelionIsDead I fear keeping the Phial would just remind me of Nurelion's obsession, and how it consumed him. MS12QuintusNurelionIsDead Here, keep it. You are as much a part of its legend now as Curalmil was. I hope it brings you the happiness that my master desired. MS12QuintusRepairingPhialBranchTopic Thank the gods. I'll get to work on the Phial straight away. MS12QuintusRepairInstructionsCallPlayerTopic Even though the Phial was damaged, I still think your efforts deserve reward. MS12QuintusRepairInstructionsCallPlayerTopic Now, if you'll pardon me, I'm going to tend to Nurelion. I can make his final days a bit less painful. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Good to hear. You can be a difficult man to find. Thankfully those couriers are tenacious. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Good to hear. You can be a difficult woman to find. Thankfully those couriers are tenacious. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Mama, when is Cade coming home? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic He's off fighting, Adara, with the Stormcloaks. He'll return when the war is over. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Our son joining the Stormcloaks. If this war had never happened, Cade would have joined the Imperial Legion, like grandfather. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Endon, we talked about this... Are you still disappointed in Cade's choice? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic No. I think if I was a young man, I would have done the same. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Can I join the Legion when I grow up? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic If there's still a Legion left, Adara. I'm sure you'd make a great soldier. Just like your brother. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic We sold all those lovely little necklaces you brought me today. Did you make them yourself? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic That's right! Papa helped me with the clasps, but I did all the links on my own. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Adara bends the silver so naturally. Grandmother would have cried if she saw how deft our daughter has become. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Well, I'm proud of both of you. I haven't been so busy since those nobles from Solitude come into the city three years ago. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I miss those days, before the Forsworn took up arms again, when you could walk the roads in peace. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Endon, dear, please don't.... Save your frustrations for work. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic You're right, dear. I'm sorry to worry you. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic No, no girl. It's the pickled spider tongue and then the decayed taproot. Do it the other way, and your cure turns into a poison. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic There's just so much to memorize. How am I supposed to remember what goes where for every single herb? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic You will. Until then, you'll taste every potion you make before you sell it. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Bothela, I have a question.... MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic You want to know a secret of mine, young girl? The most effective poison to kill a man? A potion to make others fall in love, perhaps? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I was actually just wondering if you had any family.... MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Oh. Oh, I see.... MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me if you don't.... MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I have one. A nephew. He's in prison for being a member of the Forsworn. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I'm sorry, I didn't realize. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Don't be. We all make mistakes. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Another foul day at the smelter. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Mmmhmm. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic "Mmmhmm"? I've been working with you for over 10 years, and all you have to say is "mmmhmm"? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Mmmhmm. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Sometimes I think we deserve these miserable lives of ours. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Give us a coin, Cosnach. You'll just spend it on cheap ale, anyway. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Like you won't do different? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I'm a cripple. I have a reason to be drinking. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic And I'm a porter with no shipments coming in. You're not getting any coin from me, Degaine. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic How did you manage to cripple yourself, Degaine? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Mining accident, back when I was in prison for being a pickpocket. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic You're lying. You're not quick enough to be a pickpocket. What's the real reason? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Fell off the top of the cliff after a drunken party with the priestesses of Dibella. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I don't buy that story, either. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Too bad. That one's my favorite. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic My Jarl, we need to discuss the state of Markarth's collapsing trade with the other holds. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Of course there's a collapse in trade, Raerek. The Stormcloaks stalk every road and harass every one of our patrols. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Not to mention the rebels completely control Windhelm and all of Eastmarch hold. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Why do you pester me with battles we can't win? I need my steward to plan for our victory, not nag me with every ill account. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Forgive me for worrying about the future of Markarth. The lifeblood of a city is gold, Igmund, and it doesn't stop bleeding because there's a war on. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Very well. I'll send a request for additional Legionnaires to protect trade to the other Imperial holds. Hopefully Solitude can spare more men. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Raerek, how is The Reach faring against this Forsworn menace? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Things are bad, Igmund. Our forces are barely able to keep the Forsworn in check. Merchants are reporting the loss of more of their shipments. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic This is why I say we take the fight to them. Gather the Legion and drive those blasted beasts out of the Reach for good. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic And what do Legion soldiers know about the hills the Reach? And the caves that make up those hills? The Forsworn can hide and ambush every assault. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic The safety of the city and our settlements must be our only concern, Igmund. The rest of the Reach is on its own. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Cowards, the both of you. My father would not sit idly back and wait while evil men take over his lands. We're done discussing this for now. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Igmund, we need to talk about the Silver-Blood family. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic What about them? They seem loyal enough. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Loyal? Thongvor supports Ulfric and his Stormcloaks! We should imprison the entire family as a precaution. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I second that, Igmund. Who knows what that family will do for power? They could be working with the Forsworn, for all we know. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Enough! We can't imprison the very people that own the jail we would be throwing them into. The Silver-Blood family are to be left alone, am I clear? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Yes, my Jarl. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Yes, my Jarl. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I want word on our campaign against the Imperials. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I have a few very detailed missives from border patrols, beginning with Fifth Irregulars' reports on the movements of.... MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Oh, Talos's breath, Reberrus. Skip ahead to the good part. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Oh, right. Oh, well, things are going well enough. At least, as well as we can hope. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic What does that mean Reberrus? Are we winning or aren't we? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I, uh, I can't tell Thongvor. It's anyone's guess. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I see. Well, let's continue this discussion later then. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic How goes the trade in and out of the city? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Very well, Thongvor. With the Stormcloaks here to help, the Silver-Blood family control nearly every route in and out of the city. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Except the ones attacked by Forsworn. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Well yes, of course you had to go and mention that. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic The Forsworn aren't our real concern, defeating the Imperials and making sure we keep control of this city is. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Yes, Thongvor. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Reburrus, I need you to draft a letter to Ulfric requesting more men. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Ha! About time we got some more muscle in this city. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Thongvor, do you really think that's wise? I mean, King Ulfric is such a busy man, and there are so many areas of Skyrim to protect. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Whose side are you on, Reburrus? I'm not worried about Skyrim, I'm worried about the Reach. Specifically, the part of the Reach we're standing on. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Yes, Thongvor. I'll draft the letter immediately. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Tacitus? What is this? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Uh, a nail? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Is that what you call it? In the Legion we would have called it "useless." Look how brittle the metal is! MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I... I'm sorry. I just, well, the forge gets so hot and I thought.... MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic You thought what? You would skip a step? Not heat the metal all the way through? Useless! Now do it again. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic When will I learn how to forge weapons and armor? Isn't that my job? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Your job is to do what I say. And I say you have many nails and fittings to make before you even touch a blade. Now get to work. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Uncle Calcelmo.... MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic What is it nephew? Can't you see I'm trying to think here? MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic I just wanted to know if you needed anything. MS12QuintusSendsYouOffTopic Um, no. Nothing. Nothing at all. MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic I better get back to cleaning the store. What a mess. MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic Damn thieves. As if things weren't bad enough. MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic Where are you going? Come back! MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic Wait, come back! MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic Noooo! MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic Aaaaagh! MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic Cut me down, or you'll never get the claw! MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic Where are you... get me down from this! MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic Sorry, but I have a treasure to get to... MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic So long "friend." Ha ha ha! MS13ArvelWebStuckExclusive02Topic Good luck. Lucan and I will be waiting for you back in the shop. MS13ArvelWebStuckTopic You did it. You killed it. Now cut me down before anything else shows up. MS13ArvelWebStuckTopic What? Who are you? Oh, never mind. Cut me down before that thing gets us! MS13ArvelWebStuckTopic01 Yes, the claw. I know how it works. The claw, the markings, the door in the Hall of Stories. I know how they all fit together! MS13ArvelWebStuckTopic01 Help me down, and I'll show you. You won't believe the power the Nords have hidden there. MS13ArvelWebStuckTopic02 Does it look like I can move? You have to cut me down, first. MS13ArvelWebStuckTopic03 Sweet breath of Arkay, thank you. MS13BleakFallsDirectionsBranchTopic Well, it's a winding road up the mountain just ahead. You'll know you're in the right place once you spot the old watchtower. MS13BleakFallsDirectionsBranchTopic Once you get to the tower, head north. Bleak Falls Barrow should be just around the corner further up. MS13CamillaEscortNoBranchTopic Oh, really? You're just like my brother. Fine, but if you change your mind, I'll be right here. MS13CamillaEscortYesBranchTopic I'll meet you outside! MS13CamillaEscortYesBranchTopic I know. I just don't want you to leave; you're the only good thing that's happened to this city in a long time. MS13CamillaEscortYesBranchTopic They represent the reason I'm here. I can't just ignore them, Aerin. MS13CamillaEscortYesBranchTopic Be careful, Mjoll. The Thieves Guild has Maven Black-Briar at her back. MS13CamillaEscortYesBranchTopic One snap of her fingers, and you could end up in Riften Jail... or worse. MS13CamillaEscortYesBranchTopic I had another run-in with the Thieves Guild. MS13CamillaValeriusClawGive01 Thanks. I guess this was the least you could do after what happened to Lucan. MS13CamillaValeriusClawGive02 Thanks. I only wish Lucan was here to see this again. MS13CamillaValeriusClawGive02 Take this. You've done a good thing for the Riverwood Trader. MS13EndofEscortTopic This is the bridge out of town. The path up the mountain to the northwest leads to Bleak Falls Barrow. MS13EndofEscortTopic I guess I should get back to my brother. He'll throw a fit if I take too long. Such a child.... MS13EndofEscortTopic Oh, never mind. MS13EndofEscortTopic Why would they be looking at me? Are they upset about the service? MS13EndofEscortTopic It'll do you good! Maybe you could visit Irgnir or Fruki on your way out? I've seen them looking at you when they come in for drinks.... MS13EndofEscortTopic Why would I do that? There's work to be done here. MS13EndofEscortTopic I was wondering, father. Maybe you should take a day off and head into town. I could watch the inn while you're away. MS13EndofEscortTopic I'm sorry. I just don't feel up to entertaining anyone just now. MS13EndofEscortTopic I'm sure she would want you to be happy, father. Entertaining the guests and drinking and making your lewd jokes like before. MS13EndofEscortTopic No, Karita. I don't think I could. MS13EndofEscortTopic Father, do you want to talk? About mother? MS13EndofEscortTopic Thank you, Madena. I appreciate your assistance. MS13EndofEscortTopic I, well, no of course not. I would be glad to help. MS13EndofEscortTopic Actually, I was just wondering if you could make sure people are tended to if they get hurt. I'm sure you wouldn't object to that. MS13EndofEscortTopic If this is about battle magic, forget it. I've told every Jarl I've served under that I won't.... MS13EndofEscortTopic Madena, I was wondering if you could help me with something. Your magic would be invaluable. MS13EndofEscortTopic Still suspicious of me. Well, don't say I never offered. MS13EndofEscortTopic I said I'm fine, Madena. I won't have some court mage fixing me up like some magical experiment. MS13EndofEscortTopic I know old men sometimes have pains in their legs when they rise from bed. I know a few spells that could help. MS13EndofEscortTopic I'm fine, Madena. MS13EndofEscortTopic I've seen you walking with a bit of pain sometimes, Horik. MS13EndofEscortTopic Well, at the first sign of battle I'll be comfortably sitting in my room, waiting for it to end, so don't you worry. MS13EndofEscortTopic So you say. We'll see if that's true when the Stormcloaks make their move. MS13EndofEscortTopic I'll tell you the same thing I told Skald. I'm here to help the people of Dawnstar, not play politics. Point your suspicions of treachery elsewhere. MS13EndofEscortTopic I want you to know I don't trust you, Madena. And I'll be watching you. MS13EndofEscortTopic Yes, Legate. MS13EndofEscortTopic Oh, don't be such an old stick, Horik. I was joking. I can do that, you know. Redo the battle plans. I'll look over them later. MS13EndofEscortTopic I'm sorry, Legate. I didn't want to imply anything about your ability to lead. You're a hero to the Empire, and I.... MS13EndofEscortTopic Maybe you're right. I guess the battles I won yesterday won't win today's wars. MS13EndofEscortTopic Considering how the Great War ended, I think we need to be cautious about what we rely on. MS13EndofEscortTopic I don't think that's needed, Horik. It's the same strategy we used for every major defense during the Great War. It'll serve just as well now. MS13EndofEscortTopic We should go over our strategy again in case the Stormcloaks attack. MS13EndofEscortTopic Shor's bones, I hope you're right. MS13EndofEscortTopic Yes, Legate. No one is getting through us. MS13EndofEscortTopic Keep the guard alert. I want to make sure no townspeople get hurt if there's trouble. MS13EndofEscortTopic Brings back memories. Do you have any orders for me, Legate? MS13EndofEscortTopic Just like old times, huh Horik? You and me fighting in a war over some forsaken scrap of land. MS13EndofEscortTopic I don't think so, Madena. There will be no deserters in this hold, and that's final. MS13EndofEscortTopic Yes, that's exactly what I'm asking. I'm not a Nord, I'm a Breton, and I have no wish to fight this war. MS13EndofEscortTopic You wish to leave now? In Skyrim's moment of triumph, just before we cast off the yoke of Imperial rule? MS13EndofEscortTopic Skald, I've been meaning to ask you for a leave of absence. I wish to return to High Rock until this war is over. MS13EndofEscortTopic Fine, but this isn't over Madena. We'll talk again. MS13EndofEscortTopic When I came here, my only duties were to cure crop diseases and occasionally light a bonfire on holidays. I didn't sign up to kill. MS13EndofEscortTopic What good is a court mage if she refuses to fight? Where's your sense of duty? MS13EndofEscortTopic I told you before, Skald, I have no interest in taking sides in this war. I've no desire to be killed. MS13EndofEscortTopic Madena, can we count on your spells to assist us in this war? The Empire is bound to bring their battlemages against us. MS13EndofEscortTopic Uh, yes sir. That's me. The oafish servant. MS13EndofEscortTopic A servant? Enlisting in the Stormcloaks? Ah, Bulfrek, that's why I like having you about. You're always good for a laugh. MS13EndofEscortTopic Well, I was thinking sir, with the war going on and all. Maybe, I could enlist? Fight the Imperials? MS13EndofEscortTopic You, have a request of me, Bulfrek? This should be interesting. MS13EndofEscortTopic Skald, if you don't mind sir, I have a request. MS13EndofEscortTopic Exactly, Bulfrek. You always know your place. MS13EndofEscortTopic Yes, my Jarl. We could hardly waste anyone else's precious time on such a tedious task. MS13EndofEscortTopic Bulfrek, I have an order of swords and armor from the local blacksmith coming here. I need every piece polished to a fine shine. MS13EndofEscortTopic I won't have you rob our soldiers of their chance to drive out the Empire. I'm done discussing this, Jod. MS13EndofEscortTopic Glory is meaningless if they have no home to return to. I urge you to lower our commitments to the front until I'm sure we're safe. MS13EndofEscortTopic Nonsense. The best place for our men is driving the Imperials back. I will ensure that men from Dawnstar get every opportunity for glory. MS13EndofEscortTopic You keep pledging more and more of our guard to the frontlines. The way this is going, we won't be able to defend our own borders. MS13EndofEscortTopic Safety? Don't I have you to handle the town's safety? What is this about, Jod? MS13EndofEscortTopic My Jarl, I have concerns about the safety of Dawnstar. MS13EndofEscortTopic Please, you can't leave me in here! If you let me out I can show you where they hide their best treasure. MS13EndofEscortTopic One of those things has the key to this cage. If you get me out of here I'll help you slaughter the rest of those crows. MS13EndofEscortTopic Please! Help me get out of this cage. I don't know why those things locked me up and I don't want to wait around to find out. MS13EndofEscortTopic Hey! Over here! Get me out of here! MS13EndofEscortTopic Hey you! Let me out! I can help! MS13LucanGiveClaw01 You found it? Ha ha ha. There it is. Strange... it seems smaller than I remember. Funny thing, huh? MS13LucanGiveClaw01 I'm going to put this back where it belongs. I'll never forget this. You've done a great thing for me and my sister. MS13LucanGiveClaw02 Thanks. I guess this was the least you could do after what happened to Camilla. MS13LucanGiveClaw03 Thanks. I only wish Camilla was here to see it. MS13LucanGiveClaw03 Here, take this. You've done a good thing for the Riverwood Trader. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Yes, we did have a bit of a... break-in. But we still have plenty to sell. Robbers were only after one thing. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic An ornament, solid gold. In the shape of a dragon's claw. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic You mean before he died? We had a break in. Thieves didn't touch anything on the shelves, or any coin, just one thing. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic A solid gold ornament, in the shape of a dragon's claw. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Show those thieves not to steal from Lucan Valerius! MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic The sooner you find the claw, the sooner our lives can get back to normal. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic You're back from Bleak Falls. Did you find anything? MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Don't let my sister do anything foolish. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic I don't know what you overheard, but the Riverwood Trader is still open. Feel free to shop. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic You're not getting that treasure. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic I'm too swift for you! MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Too slow! MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Lucan over in the Riverwood Trader says thieves broke into his store. Strange, he says they hardly took anything. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Did you hear? The Riverwood Trader was robbed! Poor Lucan must be torn to pieces over it. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic I heard Lucan yelling the other day about a thief breaking into his store. It wasn't me, honest! MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Maybe you could talk some sense into my pig-headed brother. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Lucan's dead. I guess I'm in charge of the Riverwood Trader now. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic I guess Lucan will never see the golden claw again now. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Mara bless you for agreeing to help us. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic If you're going after the claw, you'll need to know the way. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic So, you need a guide out of town after all? MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Bleak Falls Barrow is just outside of town. I can show you. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic This way. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic You have the claw. Oh, you have to tell Lucan at once. Hurry! MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Hurry up and tell Lucan you have the claw. He'll be so excited! MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic For the Empire! MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Time to show what you're really made of. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Everybody ready? We charge on my signal. MS13LucanQuestGiveBranchTopic Things look quiet enough here. Come on. There's my uncle. MS13LucanVolunteerTopic You could? I've got some coin coming in from my last shipment. It's yours if you bring my claw back. MS13LucanVolunteerTopic If you're going after those thieves, you should head to Bleak Falls Barrow, northeast of town. MS13LucanVolunteerTopic You could? I've got some coin coming in from my last shipment. It's yours if you bring my claw back. MS13LucanVolunteerTopic Oh really? Well, I'm not going to hold my breath. MS13LucanVolunteerTopic The thieves are up in Bleak Falls Barrow, northeast of town. I'd take you there, but with Lucan gone, I'm busy with the store. MS13RumorsTopic Lucan at the Riverwood Trader had his store broken into the other night. Oddly enough, barely anything's been stolen. MS13SharedArvelPleading01 Get me out of here! MS13SharedArvelPleading02 Don't leave me, for Arkay's sake! MS13SharedArvelPleading03 Help me! Help! MS13SharedArvelPleading04 Help me out of here! MS13SharedArvelPleading05 Get me down. Get me down! MS13SharedArvelPleading06 Hey, over here! MS13SharedArvelRelieved01 Is it over? MS13SharedArvelRelieved02 Is it dead? MS13SharedArvelRelieved03 Is it safe now? MS13SharedArvelRunning01 You'll never get the claw! MS13SharedArvelRunning02 Too slow! MS13SharedArvelScreaming01 Ah, kill it. Kill it! MS13SharedArvelScreaming02 Get it away from me. Get it away! MS13SharedArvelScreaming03 Don't let it get me. Help! MS13SharedArvelScreaming04 Agh. Agh! MS13SharedArvelScreaming05 Keep it away from me! MS14AlvaRevealedTopic So you were right. Go tell the Jarl. Hurry! MS14AreYouSure No! You're wrong. You must be wrong. Laelette may have met her fate out in the marsh. MS14AreYouSure I refuse to believe Alva had anything to do with this. There is no way you can prove it to the Jarl. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic Hroggar's house? It burned down not too long ago. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic It's a real pity about his wife and kid. The screams woke half the town. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic Most folk won't go near it now for fear it's cursed. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic Do they? How delightful! MS14AskAboutHouseTopic I'm lucky to have a man that is so devoted to me. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic Hroggar's house? He lost his wife and daughter in the blaze. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic The townsfolk won't go near it. Superstitious lot. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic Hroggar's house fire? Aye. He lost his wife and daughter in the blaze. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic Hroggar's house? He lost his wife and daughter in the blaze. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic My people believe it to be cursed now. Who am I to gainsay them? MS14AskAboutHouseTopic Hroggar's house fire? He lost his wife and daughter in the blaze. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic My people believe it to be cursed now. Who am I to gainsay them? MS14AskAboutHouseTopic It's bad luck to talk about that place. MS14AskAboutHouseTopic Jarl's been looking for someone who ain't superstitious though. Be lookin' for a fool if you ask me. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I can't tell you. She might hear me. She's so close. MS14AskHelgiLaelette If you can find me first, I can tell you. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Make Laelette go away! MS14AskHelgiLaelette On threat of what, exactly? This city wouldn't run without me! Now if you'll excuse me, my work awaits. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Miss Stentor, watch your tongue in the Jarl's court! MS14AskHelgiLaelette And? I've seen jarls come and go. This one only became Jarl because her husband died. She'll be replaced in a matter of months. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Very well. But I suspect her grace will not be pleased. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yes, and I'm also aware of how necessary my divinations and wards have been in the city's defense. My experiments are all I ask for in return. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Miss Stentor, these are quite expensive. I trust you know how limited the hold's funds are at this time? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Steward, I will need the following reagents for my studies. Please see to them. MS14AskHelgiLaelette "Fair" is a word rarely applied to politics, my grace. I'm afraid you must learn to accept this. MS14AskHelgiLaelette He uses all of Haafingar's resources, and doesn't answer to me in the slightest? This hardly seems fair. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm afraid he can. His authority comes from the emperor. Who you also serve, technically. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Again? He can't simply cancel an appointment with the Jarl! He serves in my capital city! MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm afraid he's had to reschedule, my grace. By all accounts, waging war takes his every moment. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Steward, when is my appointment to meet with General Tullius? There are some issues we must speak about. MS14AskHelgiLaelette That may well be our only answer. I will empower my Steward to seek out capable individuals to secure Haafingar. Thank you, my Thanes. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Humph. That's only a problem for people who can't afford to hire their own security. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Trouble on the roads and cities means less commerce. Less commerce means less money and more starving people. And that means more crime. MS14AskHelgiLaelette My dear Bryling. Barring any... fancy and folly... the good people of Haafingar are surely capable of dealing with the odd highwayman or stray dog. MS14AskHelgiLaelette The Stormcloaks are far from the only threat to the hold. The roads are beset by bandits and beasts... and now there's even talk of bloody dragons. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I don't see any reason why we'd need them. As long as those dogs stay outside of our borders, we're fine. MS14AskHelgiLaelette The news is the same as it's been for the rest of the war, your grace. Our borders are secure, but at the cost of the guards for our towns and roads. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Thane Bryling, what do you have to report about the state of Haafingar's defenses? MS14AskHelgiLaelette That is quite enough. Perhaps I will raise these issues when I have an audience with General Tullius. MS14AskHelgiLaelette The Stormcloaks only rebel because the Empire uses Skyrim as its personal larder. The more they take, the more support the rebels gain! MS14AskHelgiLaelette My lady... Surely you're not that naive. Such foolishness would only leave us defenseless. The rebels would storm the palace in an afternoon. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Simple. Let the Empire fight its own war, with its own funds, and without hijacking our supplies and soldiers. Let Haafingar rebuild. MS14AskHelgiLaelette And what would my impetuous Thane Bryling suggest, instead? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Listen to you, speaking of sacrifice. You've never gone hungry a day in your life, Erikur! MS14AskHelgiLaelette This is an unfortunate but unavoidable ebb in revenue. But as long as we continue to support the Empire, our sacrifices will be well rewarded. MS14AskHelgiLaelette As you know, Solitude's coffers are much depleted by the war efforts. Thane Erikur, you have a strong head for business. What do you suggest? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Hmph. Music tames the most savage beasts. Even Nords. MS14AskHelgiLaelette You'd better hope the war's over by then. The Stormcloaks would eat you alive! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Lady Ateia has already arranged for me to perform in the court of the Jarl of Falkreath. MS14AskHelgiLaelette What're you going to do after you graduate? I'm thinking of joining the Legion. I hear they're looking for skalds. Just think. Me - a war bard. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Try not to play favorites, Lady Ateia. It does a disservice to the whole class. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Of course not! Complacency is the bane of art. They're in good hands with you, Inge. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm sorry to break it to you, Giraud, but students are an unfortunate necessity of a college. Do try to persevere. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Passably. Aia is my star pupil. None of the others can hold a candle to her. Especially not that wretched llldi. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Some of them have a long way to go, but they're mostly passable. Don't let them hear I said that, though! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Bunch of distractions, if you ask me. They just interrupt the rest of my work. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yes, headmaster. MS14AskHelgiLaelette How are your students coming along? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yes, well, see that you keep at it. That is all. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'll be the judge of that. Now, back to your practice. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Patience, Illdi. We study the heroes of the past so we can have better understanding of the heroes of today... and tomorrow. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm sure it will be fine. Just don't be late. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yes, Lady Ateia. My voice is strong as a Dragonborn's! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Always! Perfection takes dedication, after all! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yes, madam. I know I have a lot to work on. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I've converted the classic tale of Eyldi the Bear to be performed with drums. I think you'll be impressed! MS14AskHelgiLaelette At this point, I hardly see how your advice would improve it. It's flawless. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Oh, thank you! I've been working on an original piece. I hope it can stand up to the classics! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yes sir, Professor Gemane! It's a war epic about Hoag Merkiller's last stand! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Must it be written? Poetry is so dull when it isn't set to music. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Why do we always focus on retelling the old stories? There are so many new stories being made, right now... MS14AskHelgiLaelette You there. Have you performed your voice exercises today? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Your solo performance is about a week away. I expect to hear your early rendition tomorrow, understand? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Pardon me, but I trust you've been working on your poem, on the classical heroes of Skyrim, yes? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Kynareth has blessed you with tremendous compassion, Silana. You will find a way, I'm sure of it. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I know, and I appreciate it dearly. But I can't help but feel we could be doing more... MS14AskHelgiLaelette We took you in, didn't we? We would be glad to extend our welcome to any other who showed your dedication. What more could we do? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Mistress, the people of Solitude are destitute. Many are starving and desperate for work. We need to be more active, to reach out to them. MS14AskHelgiLaelette What could be more important than hearing the prayers of the faithful, and answering the questions of the dedicated? MS14AskHelgiLaelette I know you and father Rorlund have many duties to attend to in the temple, but sometimes I feel that there are more important matters to attend to. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Certainly, acolyte. What troubles you? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Mistress, a word? MS14AskHelgiLaelette I see you have meditated on this subject quite thoroughly. I shall not stop you, but please, try to attend to your temple duties as well. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I respectfully disagree, sir. Stendarr and Zenithar may demand strength from them, but Mara and Dibella demand compassion from us. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Your compassion is admirable, but you see, we cannot help them all. The poor must learn from the examples of the gods and raise themselves up. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Oh, yes sir. I feel many of Solitude's families are having trouble getting by, and the wealthy do nothing to help them! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Silana, you don't seem yourself. Is something the matter? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Ah, that must be it. So many of the men are serving in battle. I shall pray to Stendarr that they return victorious. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Nonsense, dear. I've had more visitors than ever seeking the wisdom of the hearth goddesses. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I fear attendance is down. There are so few worshippers coming to see us. Could it be that the war has weakened their faith? MS14AskHelgiLaelette What troubles you, darling? MS14AskHelgiLaelette A word, my love? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Sure, whatever. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm on my feet all day. Can you please do this one thing for me? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Maybe. I'll see if I feel like it. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Father, could you clean up the house a little while I'm away? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yes, papa. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I suppose. But Svari, we don't steal. We're better than that. Understand? MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'll talk with Jala, dear. I'm sure she'll accept a potato as repayment. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Just a little one! I was hungry! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Svari, Jala said you stole an apple from her cart yesterday. Is this true? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Humph. Some daughter you are. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I barely make enough for us to eat as it is, father. You can't just drink it all away. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Well, did you bring back any mead? MS14AskHelgiLaelette At the market, father. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Where've you been all day? MS14AskHelgiLaelette We'll make it, Greta. We always have so far... MS14AskHelgiLaelette Maybe we'll have better luck tomorrow. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Eat up, Svari. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Fish? Again? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Potatoes? Again? MS14AskHelgiLaelette It's all we've got for today. Don't be greedy. MS14AskHelgiLaelette As always, lord, your loyalty is a shining example to us all. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Right you are, elf! Or even from the rebels, if they've got enough money to make a competitive offer. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Even a fine weapon is only as good as its wielder, sir. But they should fetch a high price from the Imperial army. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Scary, thinking of those boots with an army of Elven weapons at their command. Let's be thankful they're half a world away, eh? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Indeed I have, sir. Elven weapons for their armies, sir. Elven material, but poor workmanship, like most of what we get from them. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Melaran, you lazy milk drinker, have you finished studying the imports from Black Marsh? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Of course they do, brother. You keep raising their rent. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I swear, those scheming elves charge us twice what anyone else would pay. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I can commission one from the Radiant Raiment. It won't be cheap, but if you want the best, they're the only choice. MS14AskHelgiLaelette That clumsy maid at the palace spilled wine on my best suit. Sister, I believe it's time for a replacement. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Fair or not, they'll pay it, and that's all I need to care about. Bear that in mind, sister. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yes, brother. I'm sure they'll agree it's a fair price to pay in order to avoid interacting with you on a daily basis. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm afraid "acceptable" just isn't acceptable anymore. I'm sure they can spare a few more coins in monthly rent. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Profits continue to rise. The warehouse continues to bring in good revenues, and rent on your stores in the Well is acceptable. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Sister, how is my fortune coming along? MS14AskHelgiLaelette One more reason to pray for the fighting to end then, my love. MS14AskHelgiLaelette You're right, of course. But when this war is over, I'll gladly resign and we can stop sneaking around like this. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm serious. If Erikur knew about us, he'd force you to resign from your position. And without you, he'd have the Jarl bent around his little finger. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm serious. If Erikur knew about us, he'd force you to resign from your position. And without you helping the Jarl, Solitude would be weaker. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I know, my lady. I just needed to see you outside of court, away from all of the politics. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Falk, you shouldn't have come. You know what'd happen if people found out about us. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I told you you wouldn't like the news. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm not just talking about my subjects. I'm talking about my people: the proud Nords of Skyrim. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Possession of the holds change on an almost daily basis, but I can report that Haafingar is still secure. Your people are safe. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm well aware that I won't like it. But it's my duty to keep my people safe. Tell me. MS14AskHelgiLaelette You won't like it, my lady. MS14AskHelgiLaelette What news have you heard from the war, Irnskar? MS14AskHelgiLaelette She does, my lady. But apparently, she hates you just a little less than the others. MS14AskHelgiLaelette That was suspiciously nice of her. I thought she hated everyone. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Madame Endarie insisted. She made it free of charge, in honor of your lenience about last month's rent discrepancies. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Really? How did we afford that? Besides, I like the gown I already have. MS14AskHelgiLaelette My lady, I'm pleased to inform you that you have a new gown for court, specially tailored by madame Endarie. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Shoo! Go away! You get nothing from me. MS14AskHelgiLaelette You bother me again, maybe you will not walk away. Understand? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Sorry, I have everyone I need at the warehouse. Times are tight. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Got any work? MS14AskHelgiLaelette I ain't begging. I just need a job. Anything. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Patience, sister. Patience. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Why should we settle for half a fin when we could just take the whole whale? MS14AskHelgiLaelette I know of a ship coming in from Hammerfell. Some cargo might get "lost"... MS14AskHelgiLaelette My contact, she says Hammerfell steel is much desired by certain parties. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yeah, we'll get the valuables out of there, no problem! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Oh, we'll make sure it's emptied out by morning. You can trust us! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Big shipment coming in later tonight. I need you three working late. MS14AskHelgiLaelette They aren't my "people." I'm with the Empire because they pay me. And that means I'm out here, and you're in there. So shut up, scum! MS14AskHelgiLaelette So it's okay if your people rebel against the Empire, but not mine? MS14AskHelgiLaelette I said shut up, scum! MS14AskHelgiLaelette I mean, the Redguards fought off the Aldmeri and the Empire, and now Hammerfell is an independent state. That's all we Nords want for Skyrim! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Shut up, scum. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Hey, jailor! What I don't understand is why you're siding with the Imperials. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Come now. You'll want to show up in Sovngarde refreshed. You got an eternity of merrimakin' ahead of you. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Guess the headsman's been busy with all your friends. Ha ha ha ha ha! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yeah, you said that yesterday. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Rest up, scum. Probably getting executed tomorrow. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Understood, sir. MS14AskHelgiLaelette That is correct. Those orders have been delivered by special courier. I can't trust some of our normal distribution channels. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Sir, these are missing commands for about half of the commanders. MS14AskHelgiLaelette New orders for the soldiers, Legate. Make sure they're distributed as noted. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Don't you think I know that? But these commands come straight from Cyrodiil. MS14AskHelgiLaelette We must maintain order and put the rebellious Jarls in their place, before we have a full scale war on our hands. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Sir, this is costing lives of both imperial loyalists and Skyrim citizens alike. And it's winning the rebels support where they had none before. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Your concerns are duly noted, Legate, but unfounded. I assure you, this war will be over in another six months. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Sir, we can't just keep trading blows with the rebels like this - it's only strengthening their resolve. MS14AskHelgiLaelette In that case, I'm pretty sure it tried to buy me a drink last night. MS14AskHelgiLaelette It's the root that looks like an ugly little man. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Which one is that again? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Vivienne, could you check out supplies of mandrake root? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Good. And while you're at it, perhaps you should sew your mouth shut when our fine customers are within earshot, hrm? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Oh certainly, dear sister. We couldn't afford to have our customers look like the simple pigs they are, now could we? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Sister dear, could you try sewing those sleeves a little tighter? We can't have our customers looking sloppy because of your work. MS14AskHelgiLaelette You'd make a better Imperial ranger than me. I may have charmed the locals, but my fellow soldiers hated my waggling tongue. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Wish I could learn some of that charm. I'm just good with bows, not people. MS14AskHelgiLaelette The same place I learned my charm and quick wits: I used to be an Imperial ranger, my boy! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Fihada, where did you learn how to make bows so well? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Slow's the only way to do it! Work too hard and you'll warp the wood. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Slow, but looking good, sir. MS14AskHelgiLaelette How's it coming there, Jawanan? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Give him time. In a couple years, he'll be the age you were when you started! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Right you are! Guess I'll keep training you... for now. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Yeah, but can he hammer the anvil for 8 hours straight? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Sure, but I bet he can't hold his mead as well as me! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Come on, Heimvar. My son could stoke the forge better than you do! MS14AskHelgiLaelette You're making progress, Heimvar. But my boy could still work the bellows better than you do! MS14AskHelgiLaelette It's okay, dear. More work than ever down at the blacksmith. MS14AskHelgiLaelette We'll make it through, dear. We always do. MS14AskHelgiLaelette Who needs customers and their old junk? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Father oughtta punch them in the mouth! That'd get people in here! MS14AskHelgiLaelette Not that I mind the break, of course. But, still... MS14AskHelgiLaelette I suppose in wartime, people aren't looking to part with their old junk... MS14AskHelgiLaelette Sure has been quiet around the shop lately. MS14AskHelgiLaelette We hardly ever get new customers anymore. MS14AskHelgiLaelette I'm sorry... MS14AskHelgiLaelette We barely have enough for ourselves... MS14AskHelgiLaelette Here, it's all I can spare... MS14AskHelgiLaelette Alms? Alms for a veteran? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Spare a bite for a poor old veteran? MS14AskHelgiLaelette Please, ma'am, I've got nowhere to go... MS14AskHelgiLaelette I lost my eye defending the Empire... Spare some grub for a veteran? MS14Goodbye Let me know if you find out anything about the fire. MS14Goodbye Hroggar's fate is in your hands. MS14Goodbye I hope Alva is not what you think. MS14Goodbye
MS14HelgiFinalTopic You did? Maybe that's why I'm so sleepy now. MS14HelgiFirstMeetTopic Helgi. But father says I'm not supposed to talk to strangers. MS14HelgiFirstMeetTopic Are you a stranger? MS14HelgiFirstMeetTopic I remember you. You're the stranger. Father says I'm not supposed to talk to strangers. MS14HelgisGhostTopic The poor child is probably beggin' for us to string up her murderin' father. MS14HelgisGhostTopic Best tell the Jarl. MS14HelgisGhostTopic The spirit world is strong in this place. MS14HelgisGhostTopic Look to the graveyard. That is where you'll find her. MS14HelgisGhostTopic You saw her ghost? MS14HelgisGhostTopic I'm glad it was you and not me. MS14HelgisGhostTopic She's buried outside of town. That's where I'd look. MS14HelgiWhatHappened The smoke woke me up. It was hot and I was scared, so I hid. MS14HelgiWhatHappened Then it got cold and dark. I'm not scared anymore. MS14HelgiWhatHappened But I'm lonely. Will you play with me? MS14HelgiWhatHappened Like I said. It got hot and smoky. Now it's cold and quiet. MS14HelgiWhatHappened I wish someone would find me. MS14Hello Mother's calling me. It's time for me to sleep now. I'm so tired. Thank you for making her feel better. MS14Hello Who's there? Is that you, father? MS14Hello
MS14Hello Have you found proof of Alva's treachery? MS14Hello Is Hroggar innocent or not? MS14Hello You better get proof of your accusations against Alva. MS14Hello Any word on that fire? MS14Hello I hear the steward asked you to look into the fire. MS14Hello Have you found out anything about Alva? MS14Hello Have you seen Laelette? Have you seen my wife? MS14Hello She's dead. Laelette is dead. MS14Hello I won't let you hurt Alva! MS14Hello Now I'm going to have to kill you! MS14Hello I hear you put Laelette out of her misery. MS14HideAndSeekTopic Okay! Let's play hide and seek. You find me and I'll tell you. MS14HideAndSeekTopic We have to wait for nighttime though. The other one is playing too, and she can't come out until then. MS14HideAndSeekTopic That's cheating. We're playing hide and seek. You have to find me before Laelette does. MS14HowDidItStart Hroggar claims it was a hearth fire. Some folks say Hroggar started it himself. MS14HowDidItStart Bear fat in the hearth fire, if you believe Hroggar. MS14HowDidItStart I do, but some folk here think he set the fire himself. MS14HowDidItStart Hroggar blames his wife for spilling bear fat in the fire. MS14HowDidItStart Many folk think he set the fire himself. MS14HroggarAlvaBranchTopic She came by so Alva could kiss her goodbye. MS14HroggarAlvaBranchTopic Then she left to join the Stormcloaks. MS14HroggarHelgiGhost Really? How nice. MS14HroggarHelgiGhost He was cruel to her. He would beat her every night. MS14HroggarHelgiGhost It's no wonder she fled in the middle of the night. MS14HroggarHouse That's true, but I'm in a new house now. A better house. MS14HroggarWifeChild Yeah, that was a shame. MS14HroggarWifeChild But now Alva takes care of me. And I take care of her. MS14JarlAlvaDidIt Alva? Didn't think she had it in her. MS14JarlAlvaDidIt So Alva did it to get Hroggar for herself? I should have suspected her. MS14JarlAlvaDidIt You want in there? Here's my spare key. Take whatever you want. MS14JarlAlvaVampire I assume you have proof? Can't go making accusations like that without proof. MS14JarlAlvaVampire By the gods! I assume you have proof. MS14JarlReadJournalTopic So it's true. That traitorous bitch! Morthal owes you a debt. MS14JarlReadJournalTopic Here. You were promised a reward for solving the crime, but I need one more favor from you. MS14JarlReadJournalTopic Morthal is still in danger. The journal mentions Movarth, a master vampire I thought was destroyed a century ago. MS14JarlReadJournalTopic I'll gather together some able-bodied warriors to clean out Movarth's lair. They'll be waiting outside for you to lead them. MS14JarlReadJournalTopic By Ysgramor's axe! It's true. Morthal owes you a debt. MS14JarlReadJournalTopic Here is your reward for solving the murder, but I have another request. MS14JarlReadJournalTopic Unfortunately Morthal is still in danger. The journal mentions Movarth, a powerful master vampire that I had assumed was destroyed. MS14JarlReadJournalTopic I'll gather together some able-bodied warriors to clean out Movarth's lair. They'll be waiting outside for you to lead them. MS14JarlReadJournalTopic Then stop wasting my time. MS14KilledHisOwnFamily That's what they say. MS14KilledHisOwnFamily See, he's living with Alva now. That started the day after the fire. MS14KilledHisOwnFamily It ain't right, movin' in with a new love the day after your kin die like that. MS14KilledHisOwnFamily They think he did it to get rid of his wife so he could be with Alva. MS14KilledHisOwnFamily He moved in with her the day after the fire. Even I find that suspicious. MS14KilledHisOwnFamily They think he did it to get rid of his wife so he could be with Alva. MS14KilledHisOwnFamily He moved in with her the day after the fire. Even I find that suspicious. MS14KilledHisOwnFamily Lust can make a man do the unthinkable. MS14KilledHisOwnFamily The ashes were still warm when he pledged himself to Alva.

I thought she left to join the Stormcloaks. Ah! My poor Laelette! MS14LaeletteDead I thought Laelette left to join the war. I hadn't heard from her since she left. MS14LaeletteRumorTopic Now there's a mystery. MS14LaeletteRumorTopic She ran away when the war started. Her husband, Thonnir, was devastated. No note or nothin'. MS14LaeletteRumorTopic I'm pretty sure she up and joined the Stormcloaks. MS14LaeletteRumorTopic You found me! Laelette was trying to find me too, but I'm glad you found me first. MS14LaeletteRumorTopic Laelette was told to burn mommy and me, but she didn't want to. MS14LaeletteRumorTopic She wanted to play with me forever and ever. MS14LaeletteRumorTopic She kissed me on the neck, and I got so cold that the fire didn't even hurt. MS14LaeletteRumorTopic Laelette thought she could take me and keep me, but she can't. I'm all burned up. MS14LaeletteRumorTopic I'm tired. I'm going to sleep for a while now. MS14LaelettesFriends She began to spend a lot of time with Alva. Yet just a week before, she despised her. MS14LaelettesFriends In fact, the night she disappeared, she was supposed to meet Alva. MS14LaelettesFriends Alva told me later that she never showed up. I never got to tell her good bye. MS14LaeletteVampie You think Alva...but that means... MS14LaeletteVampie Ye gods! You think Alva is a vampire? MS14RewardTopic By the Eight, I didn't think you could do it! MS14RewardTopic Now maybe we can put all this behind us. MS14RewardTopic Take this as a token of our gratitude. MS14RewardTopic By the Eight, I didn't think you could do it! MS14RewardTopic Now maybe we can put all this behind us. MS14RewardTopic Take this as a token of our gratitude. MS14RewardTopic Damn Forsworn. Only a matter of time before they hit here, too. MS14RewardTopic Guess we'll have two more mouths to feed for a while. MS14RewardTopic Don't have much to say unless you're here to mine metal. MS14RewardTopic I'm in charge of Left Hand Mine. You cause trouble, you answer to me. MS14RewardTopic Left Hand Mine deals with iron, the perfect metal to dig with a war going on. MS14RewardTopic Kolskeggr, overrun with Forsworn, what next? MS14RewardTopic Did you hear that? Pavo was driven out of his mine. Almost everyone is dead. MS14RewardTopic What if the Forsworn come here? We aren't safe. MS14RewardTopic You should speak with my husband. Skaggi runs everything. MS14RewardTopic I'm just here to mine. MS14RewardTopic Got ore to dig. MS14RewardTopic I'm one of miners. Plenty of ore to dig up around here. MS14RewardTopic Don't have much to say to you. Got work. MS14RewardTopic It's amazing how much work goes into the little things, isn't it? MS14RewardTopic I'm just here to dig. Not much else to talk about. MS14RewardTopic Kolskeggr Mine is lost, friend. Forsworn killed everyone. MS14RewardTopic Don't go to Kolskeggr. It's not safe. MS14RewardTopic Gat and I are the only survivors. MS14RewardTopic Pavo and I had to fight our way out of Kolskeggr. Forsworn killed everyone else. MS14RewardTopic Thank Malacath we got out of Kolskeggr alive. MS14RewardTopic Don't know what I would have done without Pavo. Man's braver than he admits. MS14RewardTopic Poor Pavo and Gat. To have lived through a Forsworn attack. MS14RewardTopic Another day, another settlement gets attacked. No place in the Reach is safe from the Forsworn. MS14RewardTopic I'm the hardest worker in Left Hand. Better than any man. MS14RewardTopic Most women would rather die than dig, but I have a daughter to raise. MS14RewardTopic My Erith has her father's eyes. She's all I have left of him. MS14RewardTopic Why is everyone so upset? If there's Forsworn, the Jarl will take care of them, right? MS14RewardTopic Hope Pavo will be able to go back to his mine soon. Everyone needs a home. MS14RewardTopic What'cha doing in Left Hand? Do you dig up rocks too, like my mom? MS14RewardTopic Why do they call it Left Hand Mine? Can the miners use their right hands too? MS14RewardTopic Have you met Torom? He's the best dog in the Reach. MS14RewardTopic You don't invite monsters into your home to have supper! I won't have them here, and I'm certainly not smiling for them! MS14RewardTopic Oh, stop being such a grouch! Not every visitor to the farm wants to burn it down! Maybe they just want to have a nice supper with us, hmm? MS14RewardTopic You want me to smile? What's there to smile about? Soldiers and dragons are going to be trampling all over the crops this year. I just know it. MS14RewardTopic Oh, wipe that frown off your face Rogatus. You've been wearing that frown for over 50 years now. MS14RewardTopic Oh, what is this? A visitor? To our farm? Oh, do stay for a while, dear. MS14RewardTopic Now, you don't let Rogatus cause you any bother. MS14RewardTopic My husband just gets cranky when he doesn't get enough sleep. MS14RewardTopic Our son Leontius moved to Old Hroldan nearly 30 years ago. I still miss him. MS14RewardTopic I hope my son has found some nice, well-mannered girl to settle down with. MS14RewardTopic Rogatus and I have been married over 50 years. He's always been a bit of a grouch. MS14RewardTopic My boy Leontius lives in Old Hroldan. Damn drunk. MS14RewardTopic I've lived through rebellion, Forsworn, undead, witches, wizards, hagravens, and marriage. MS14RewardTopic Next thing you know there will be some kind of damn blight and undead will walk the land. MS14RewardTopic You ever have to farm land while there was a battle going on? I have. MS14RewardTopic Damn soldiers always trample my crops. MS14RewardTopic I'm been farming this bit of land all my life. MS14ShouldArrest Aye. Our Jarl would sure like to know if he did though. Might even pay to find out. MS14ShouldArrest Can't prove it. But I could use your help, being unbiased and all. MS14ShouldArrest See if you can find anything in the burned out house. MS14ShouldArrest I'll pay you to figure it, whether or not he's guilty. MS14ShouldArrest On rumor and gossip? No. But you, a stranger, might find the truth for us. MS14ShouldArrest Sift through the ashes that others are too fearful to touch. See what they tell you. MS14ShouldArrest Should you prove him guilty or innocent, I will reward you. MS14Taunt She's mine! She's my reward. You can't have her! MS14Taunt I won't let you hurt Alva! MS14Taunt You've ruined everything! MS14ThonnirMobScaredBranchTopic They may be cowards, but I'm not. I'll go with you. MS14ThonnirMobScaredBranchTopic Of course. But why not let him go in first? MS14ThonnirMobScaredBranchTopic Of course. But why not let her go in first? MS14ThonnirRevenge I want vengeance for my wife! MS14ThonnirRevenge Vengeance for Laelette! MS14ThonnirRevenge We're marching on Movarth's Lair whether you come with us or not. MS14ThonnirRevenge Destroy him! MS14ThonnirRevenge Let's kill him! MS14ThonnirRevenge Kill him! MS14ThonnirRevenge Kill him! MS14ThonnirRevenge Kill the vampire! MS14ThonnirRevenge Take us! MS14ThonnirRevenge Yeah! MS14ThonnirRevenge Yeah! MS14ThonnirRevenge Yes! MS14ThonnirRevenge I'm going to Movarth's Lair to kill that monster. Are you with me? MS14ThonnirRevenge Take us to Movarth's Lair! MS14ThonnirRevenge Right. Well, you let me know if you need anything. MS14ThonnirRevenge Of course not. I never thought otherwise. MS14ThonnirRevenge Good, good. It's honest work, son. No shame in that. MS14ThonnirRevenge I'm fine, father. Work is fine. MS14ThonnirRevenge How goes it, son? MS14ThonnirRevenge Yes sir. MS14ThonnirRevenge Yes, well... That's all we ask of you. Carry on. MS14ThonnirRevenge Teeba-Ei is cold, but Teeba-Ei works hard as always. MS14ThonnirRevenge Is everything well with you, my scaly friend? MS14ThonnirRevenge Good, good. Keep up the hard work. It'll all pay off. MS14ThonnirRevenge Yes sir, fine sir. MS14ThonnirRevenge Everything well, Jesper? MS14WhoIsDaddy You know him? MS14WhoIsDaddy He made my favorite dolly, but I can't find her. MS14WhoIsDaddy Are you sure you aren't a stranger? MS14WhoIsDaddy Don't you remember? His name is Hroggar. MSStigBasicBranchTopic Heard of them? I've been captaining a crew for 'em well on nine years now. What's it to you? MSStigBasicBranchTopic Know about them? Lad, you're looking at them. MSStigBasicBranchTopic Know about them? Lass, you're looking at them. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos The mine is rich, and so are we. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos But I am cursed, it would seem, to live alone. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos I've had several wives. But each dies sooner than the last. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos I was lucky to get children out of the ones I did. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos Everyone said it had run out, but I smashed down one wall and found the widest veins of ebony I'd ever seen. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos So now we're rich and now I'm chief. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos I think of Uglarz. An old friend. When we were little she ran to the woods to hunt, and never came back. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos If someone found her, she would make an excellent mate. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos Ha. Good luck to you, friend. She's not one who likes to be found. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos I am Uglarz, huntress of all. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos It was my home. But I left. The woods felt more alive, at least for a time. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos Mauhulakh. I remember him. Little, scrawny, fellow. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos Ha! Now that I would like to see. I may go back there some day. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos Always thought that old mine had more to it. Just like Mauhulakh to smash his way to good fortune. NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuestSharedInfos I'm going back to Narzulbur. Want to see how it's come. NarzulburHellos The blessings of the mine have been many, but I have no mate to share them. NarzulburHellos I am proud to have a mate to share in my blessings. NarzulburHellos Been married many times, but the gods keep taking them from me. NarzulburHellos I'm hoping this wife can outlast the winter. NarzulburHellos I've read the entrails many times, but can't fathom why Mauhulakh's wives keep finding tragedy. NarzulburHellos All my auguring never predicted this. A woman for Mauhulakh, eh? We'll see how this goes. NarzulburHellos Urog and Dushnamub were such lovely children. I held them as they watched their mothers die after birth. They know me best, now. NarzulburHellos Mauhulakh was such a darling boy. Until he got older and started having opinions. NarzulburHellos Yatul and I tend to dote on Mauhulakh. You know how aunts can be with their favorite nephew. NarzulburHellos Mauhulakh. He wants to be a leader but spends too much time moping over women. Bolar and I should be all he needs. NarzulburHellos Well at least now Mauhulakh has nothing to whine about. Until this one dies, too. NarzulburHellos Orc chiefs should be strong and stand alone. They need no companions. Progeny is a poor excuse. NarzulburHellos I know I sound abrasive. It's just that I love Mauhulakh so much that I want us to be happy together. NarzulburHellos My brother keeps trying to spin these fantasies to me about my aunts and our father. He's crazy. NarzulburHellos Uglarz is a great huntress. Perhaps she can teach me something new. NarzulburHellos I never would have thought, but Uglarz is an even better hunter than Yatul was. The things I'm learning now... NarzulburHellos Yatul's been teaching me to hunt. I'm still learning, but she's the best teacher I could have. NarzulburHellos Sometimes I wonder if my aunts are right about my father -- he does seem weak. NarzulburHellos New to Narzulbur? If you're smart, you'll keep moving. There is a wicked shadow over this place. NarzulburHellos Haven't you seen how my aunts act with my father? It's beyond strange. NarzulburHellos Glad my father seems to have found someone. I just hope she can hold her own against my aunts. NarzulburHellos I never knew my mother, but I doubt even she acted as affectionate with my father as Yatul and Bolar do. NarzulburHellos I think I like this new mate of my father's. I mean... nothing like that. I just think she's nice. NarzulburHellos My sister is blind. I've told her she shouldn't spend so much time with Yatul, but she won't listen. Thinks she's nice. NarzulburHellos Gadba and me came to work the mine. The plan is to get rich and then go back to Largashbur and take over! NarzulburHellos Mauhulakh brought us in when he found ebony in the mine. Not enough men in town to work it, so here we are. NarzulburHellos One of these days we need to head back to the Rift. Get some of that good Riften mead. NarzulburHellos Mul is the smart one. I go where he tells me. NarzulburHellos Mining is tough, but Mul says the money is good so we mine. NarzulburHellos When we go back to Largashbur we'll be kings. I like Narzulbur, but don't tell Mul. NarzulburHellos The great stronghold of Narzulbur welcomes you, outsider. NarzulburHellos Come to purchase ebony? Our Gloombound Mine runs thick with black veins. NazirSancFightGreetBranchTopic By Sithis, help me! NazirSancGreetBranchTopic So you are alive. I was starting to wonder. NazirSancGreetBranchTopic Look for a way out! We are not going to burn to death in our own damned Sanctuary! NazirSancGreetBranchTopic Come on! We've got to find a way out of here! NazirSancLakeGreetBranchTopic No... No, this cannot be... NazirSancLakeGreetBranchTopic Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down. It's all right. You've been through a lot. Maybe you should just sit down for a bit... NazirSancLakeGreetBranchTopic I'm with you, Listener. NazirSancLakeGreetBranchTopic Astrid did the right thing, and now it's your turn. End her suffering. NazirSancWrapUpGreetBranchTopic Astrid... By the sands, I still can't wrap my head around it... NightgateFultheimComeHereBranchTopic You see any other inns around here? Where else would I go to drink? NightgateFultheimComeHereBranchTopic Anything you need, just holler. NightgateFultheimComeHereBranchTopic Sure, walk away. I wasn't talking or anything... NightgateHadringBusinessBranchTopic Nah, not so much. The odd traveler on the road. But mostly just old Fultheim, come to drink away a lifetime of bad memories, I'd wager. NightgateHadringBusinessBranchTopic Course there's the Orc. Long-term tenant, that one. For what he pays, I could afford to shut this place down. NightgateHadringInnBranchTopic This old place? Been here forever. Built by my great grandda. Run by him, then all the way up the line to me. NightgateHadringOrcBranchTopic Him? Oh... Ah, name's Balablob or Malaclob, one of them funny Orc names. Talks real good, though. Not a savage at all. NightgateHadringOrcBranchTopic Said he's a writer. Don't know what kind of job that is, but it must earn him some pretty coin. He's paid up for the next few months. NightgateHadringOrcBranchTopic He mostly just hangs about. Goes down to the lake, sometimes samples the stores of wine in the cellar. Man can do whatever he pleases, far as I care. nilheimTelravIntroTopic Bandits attacked and ransacked my cart. Can you help me? nilheimTelravIntroTopic Oh, come now. Don't go away mad. nilheimTelravIntroTopic Harpies, every one of them. nilheimTelravIntroTopic
nilheimTelravIntroTopic
nilheimTelravIntroTopic I don't know. If you see any big strong men around, let us know, will you? nilheimTelravIntroTopic Hello, ladies! Is there anything a big strong man can do for you this fine day? nilheimTelravIntroTopic Oh, hi, I'm glad I ran into you. I was wondering if... nilheimTelravIntroTopic Hello. nilheimTelravRewardTopic Wait here. I'll be right back with your reward. nilheimTelravRewardTopic Fine, leave me to die. NN01AvrusaBranchSinderionTopic I knew this day would eventually come. NN01AvrusaBranchSinderionTopic At least poor Sinderion died doing what he loved, his field research. I told the old fool he should take it easy, but he was too stubborn. NN01AvrusaBranchSinderionTopic Perhaps someday I'll continue where he left off, it's the least I can do considering how much he did for me. NN01AvrusaCompleteBranchTopic You've gathered quite a few of them I see. NN01AvrusaCompleteBranchTopic I'll search through Sinderion's notes and find some more information about the Crimson Nirnroot and its properties. NN01AvrusaCompleteBranchTopic01 Thank you. NN01AvrusaCompleteBranchTopic01 You've done alchemy a great service by helping to complete Sinderion's work. NN01AvrusaCompleteBranchTopic01 I'd like to give you this tome...it's one of Sinderion's greatest works. I believe you've more than earned it. NN01AvrusaNirnOnlyBranchTopic Crimson Nirnroot? I'd heard such a strain existed, but never imagined I'd see any in my lifetime. NN01AvrusaNirnOnlyBranchTopic Where did you find this? NN01AvrusaNirnOnlyBranchTopic01 Blackreach... why does that sound so familiar? NN01AvrusaNirnOnlyBranchTopic01 Of course! It's where my mentor, Sinderion said he was going to do his field research. NN01AvrusaNirnOnlyBranchTopic01 It's been... years I think, but perhaps you could still find him. NotMyProblem Not my problem. OfCourse Of course. OfferServicesTopic So you're interested in my potions and ingredients? OfferServicesTopic Got a pretty full stock of potions and alchemy reagents. OfferServicesTopic Ah, so you're an alchemist, then?

PerkInvestorBackOutResponse If you change your mind, you know where to find me. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 Splendid! With the extra coin, I'll be able to purchase twice the volume in supplies that I normally do. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 I've been looking to expand the business, and your investment will certainly help with that. I accept! PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 Such an investment will mean that I can take better care of my family, as well as my customers. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 An investment, is it? Alright, I'm sure I can put the extra money to good use. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 Splendid! I've been looking for a new investor. Now it seems my search is over. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 Come to see the hag with an offering of coin, then? So be it. I accept your investment. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 Of course you want to invest in my business. I'm the finest blacksmith in all Skyrim. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 How kind. At my age, I've certainly learned how to spend wisely. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 You want to give me money? Just like that? Fine, but I intend to earn that investment. I don't need handouts. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 Ah yes, good idea. Best to let a professional businessman handle that money for you. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 You make an interesting offer. Very well, I'm sure that I can put the extra coin to good use. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 An investment? Very well, I don't see why not. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 Oh? Well, I won't turn down your money. PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 By helping me, you're helping the good folk of Whiterun. How could I say no to that? PerkInvestorBranch1Topic1 I'll take your money, but I make no promises of a large return on your investment. These are troubled times, after all. PerkInvestorConfirmResponse Thank you. I'll be sure to put it to good use. PerkInvestorInitialResponse Excellent. I think you'll be glad that you made this decision. PerkInvestorReply2 You have my thanks, friend. PerkInvestorReply2 Ah, the sound of clinking coins. Even better, the sound of clinking coins in my hand! PerkInvestorReply2 I'll call upon my suppliers this very evening and arrange to double my orders. PerkInvestorReply2 I'll start planning how best to spend this. You have my thanks! PerkInvestorReply2 You'll look back on this as one of your best decisions, I swear it. PerkInvestorReply2 If you want to make the most of your investment, you'll come here to sell your goods. PerkInvestorReply2 Thank you so much! With this coin, I'll be able to double my stock. PerkInvestorReply2 Ah, look at the pretty, shiny coins. Now, how best to spend them? PerkInvestorReply2 If you have spare weapons and armor to sell, bring them here. PerkInvestorReply2 More coin means more supplies, and that means more useful balms, potions and remedies for everyone. PerkInvestorReply2 I'll work hard to justify your faith in me. PerkInvestorReply2 A wise choice, my friend. After all, what would a common adventurer know about the complexities of finance? PerkInvestorReply2 Wise is the one who spends a few coins now to make a fortune later. PerkInvestorReply2 Thank you. When I have the time, I'll try to think of how best to use this. PerkInvestorReply2 May prosperity bless us both! PersuadeAccept01 Okay. Just this once. PersuadeAccept02 How can I argue with that? PersuadeAccept03 Okay, okay. You've talked me into it. PersuadeReject01 You expect me to believe that? PersuadeReject02 Nah. I don't think so. PersuadeReject03 That doesn't change anything. Pilgrim01Branch01Topic I'm walking the 7,000 Steps to honor the Greybeards and reflect on my own life. It's a tradition among the Nords of Skyrim. Pilgrim01Branch01Topic I like to spend time up here. Walk the Steps, meditate on the emblems. Doesn't hurt when I bag some game along the way. Pilgrim01Branch01Topic Enjoying the hospitalities of the inn. Suggest you do the same. Pilgrim01GreybeardsBranchTopic They're not the sort to take visitors, but I never go that high up the path anyway. Pilgrim01GreybeardsBranchTopic Some folk who make the trip leave them food or other essentials, but not to make conversation. Pilgrim02Branch01Topic Walking the Steps. Meditating on the emblems. I make this trip every few years. Pilgrim02Branch02Topic Just a pilgrim. I'd prefer to leave it at that, if you don't mind. Pilgrim02DohvakiinTopic I was just outside Ivarstead when it happened. It's an exciting moment. Nothing like this has happened in centuries. Pilgrim02DohvakiinTopic I did. Strange days when the monks will do that. I wonder what it means. PlasyerAstridListenerResponse1 What? PlasyerAstridListenerResponse1 So Cicero wasn't talking to anyone else. Just... the Night Mother's body? PlasyerAstridListenerResponse1 And the Night Mother, who, according to everything we know, will only speak to the person chosen as Listener... just spoke. Right now... PlasyerAstridListenerResponse1 ...to you? PlasyerAstridListenerResponse2 By Sithis. PlasyerAstridListenerResponse2 And... what did she say? PlasyerAstridListenerResponse3 Amaund Motierre? I have no idea who that is. PlasyerAstridListenerResponse3 But Volunruud... that I have heard of. And I know where it is. PlasyerAstridListenerResponse4 Volunruud? Well, that is interesting. I know this place... PlasyerAstridListenerResponse5 I... I need time to think about all this. Go see Nazir - do some work for him. I'll find you when I'm ready to discuss the matter further. PlasyerAstridListenerResponse5 Hmm? PlasyerAstridListenerResponse5 No. No! Listen, I don't know what's going on here, but you take your orders from me. Are we clear on that? PlasyerAstridListenerResponse5 The Night Mother may have spoken to you, but I am still the leader of this Family. I will not have my authority so easily dismissed. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse1 Oh, wonderful. You don't know how happy I am to hear you say that. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse1 So much has led to this day. So much planning, and maneuvering. It's as if the very stars have finally aligned. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse1 But I digress. Here, take these to your, um... superior. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse1 Rexus. The items. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse2 That is correct. What I ask is no small thing, of course. But you represent the Dark Brotherhood. This is... what you do? No? PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse2 You must understand. So much has led to this day. So much planning, and maneuvering. Now, it's as if the very stars have finally aligned. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse2 But I digress. Here, take these. They need to be delivered to your, um... superior. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse2 Rexus. The items. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse3 It's a shocking request, I know. But it is inside the purview of what you Dark Brotherhood types do. Isn't it? If history is to be believed? PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse3 You must understand. So much has led to this day. So much planning, and maneuvering. Now you're here, as if the very stars have finally aligned. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse3 But I digress. Here, let me give you these. They are to be delivered to your, um... superior. PlayerAmaundEmperorKillResponse3 Rexus. The items. PlayerAmaundGoOnTopic As I said, I want you to kill several people. You'll find the targets, as well as their manners of elimination, quite varied. PlayerAmaundGoOnTopic I'm sure someone of your disposition will probably even find it enjoyable. PlayerAmaundGoOnTopic But you should know that these killings are but a means to an end. For they pave the way to the most important target. PlayerAmaundGoOnTopic The real reason I'm speaking with a cutthroat in the bowels of this detestable crypt. For I seek the assassination of... PlayerAmaundGoOnTopic ...the Emperor. PlayerAmaundRespondTopic1 Yes, um.... So it would seem. Well, I won't waste your time. I would like to arrange a contract. Several, actually. PlayerAmaundRespondTopic1 I daresay, the work I'm offering has more significance than anything your organization has experienced in, well, centuries. PlayerAmaundRespondTopic2 Oh, I know. I know. But I'm so glad you're here. Please, allow me to state my business. Surely your time is as valuable as my own. PlayerAmaundRespondTopic2 I would like to arrange a contract. Several, actually. I daresay, the most important work your organization has had in, well... centuries. PlayerAmaundRespondTopic3 Right, then. You prefer to listen, is that it? Well, you must represent the Dark Brotherhood. I certainly wasn't expecting anyone else. PlayerAmaundRespondTopic3 So I'll cut right to the chase. PlayerAmaundRespondTopic3 I would like to arrange a contract. Several, actually. I daresay, the most important work your organization has had in, well... centuries. PlayerHouseBuyAvailable Splendid! There's a house available right now. PlayerHouseBuyBroke Very well, just let me know when you have the necessary funds. PlayerHouseBuyNevermind Very well, just let me know when you're ready to purchase the house. PlayerHouseBuySold Wonderful! Here is the key to your new home. PlayerHouseBuyStillAvail The house I mentioned earlier is still available, if you want to buy it. PlayerHouseDecorateBroke I'm sorry, but you don't seem to have enough gold to pay for that. PlayerHouseDecorateElse Is there anything else you'd like to purchase? PlayerHouseDecorateNevermind As you wish. Speak to me again if you decide to purchase some decorations for your home. PlayerHouseDecorateNoneLeft You've already purchased every available improvement. I'm afraid I have nothing else to offer you. PlayerHouseDecorateSold Very well, I'll make the arrangements. The next time you visit your house, your new furnishings will be in place. PlayerHouseDecorateStart I'll be glad to help you. There are many ways to improve your home, provided you have the coin. PlayerHouseDecorateStart And of course, don't forget to consult your Home Decorating Guide for descriptions of the decorations you can buy. PlayerHouseDecorateStart Now, what would you like to purchase? PowerAttack01 When the other guy has his shield up, regular blows are useless. Wind up and hit him with a really powerful attack to get past that shield. PowerAttack02 Even if your opponent doesn't have a shield, those big, powerful blows can stagger him. Leaves him open for a quick follow up blow. PowerAttackDefense01 In a fight, if you see a big wind up, get out of the way or bash him with your shield. Attacks like that go right through a regular block. PowerAttackMoving01 Don't just stand still to do your big wind-up blows. Which way you're moving changes what happens and can be a big advantage. PowerAttackStamina01 Those big, powerful blows are tiring. Pace yourself until you've got the stamina to do one. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic I can't believe you're speaking to me, after what you've done. You broke my heart. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic We have nothing to talk about. I can't believe what you did to me. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic Your words are cheap. Why should I speak to you after what you've done? RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic And why should I speak with you? You broke my heart. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic You. You should just go. I don't have enough ale to stomach talking to you. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic Look at you. Come crawling back, after everything you've done to me? RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic What do you want? There's no words left to say to each other. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic Precious release... RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic Father... RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic Ahhhhhhhh! RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic Yeeeaaahhh!

RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic I'm bleeding! Ha ha ha ha ha! RelationshipMarriageBreakUpBlockingTopic Ow! Cheap shot!

RelationshipMarriageBreakUpHurtful You're a monster. Leave and never come back! RelationshipMarriageBreakUpHurtful What'd you say to me? Get out! I never want to see you again. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpHurtful You come all this way just to hurt me a second time? Get out of my sight! RelationshipMarriageBreakUpHurtful Leave. Now! RelationshipMarriageBreakUpReconcile All right, just because it's you, we'll try again. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpReconcile I'll give you another chance, but watch yourself. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpReconcile You want to try again? Fine, but I'll be watching you carefully. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpReconcile Try again? You and me? Fine, but I've got my eyes on you. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpReconcile You're testing my patience, but very well. I'll give you another chance. RelationshipMarriageBreakUpReconcile All right, we'll start again, but watch yourself. RelationshipMarriageFINCookingTopic Here, this is fresh. I'll have another meal ready tomorrow. RelationshipMarriageFINCookingTopic Here. Wouldn't want you going into a fight on an empty stomach. I'll have another meal ready tomorrow. RelationshipMarriageFINCookingTopic A warrior marches on the gut. Here. This should give you strength. I'll cook another tomorrow. RelationshipMarriageFINCookingTopic Here. This is from a recipe my people have passed on to me. I can cook another tomorrow. RelationshipMarriageFINCookingTopic Here you are. I added a little mead into the recipe. I think it tastes better. Let me know what you think tomorrow, I'll make another one. RelationshipMarriageFINCookingTopic I should be asking you the same question, but all right. I'll cook. Here, try this, and don't you dare ask for another one before tomorrow. RelationshipMarriageFINCookingTopic I can. Here. This is fresh. I'll have another one made tomorrow. RelationshipMarriageFINHouseChoiceTopic Oh? Where? RelationshipMarriageFINHouseChoiceTopic Where are you thinking? RelationshipMarriageFINHouseChoiceTopic Where? RelationshipMarriageFINHouseChoiceTopic You want to move? Where? RelationshipMarriageFINHouseChoiceTopic I was just getting settled in. Where are we going? RelationshipMarriageFINHouseChoiceTopic Oh really? And where were you thinking? RelationshipMarriageFINHouseChoiceTopic And where would that be? RelationshipMarriageFINSharedArgonian Very well. I'll meet you there. RelationshipMarriageFINSharedArrogant If that's what you want. I'll see you there, soon. RelationshipMarriageFINSharedDrunk All right. I'll see you there. RelationshipMarriageFINSharedNeutral I'll get everything ready and meet you there. RelationshipMarriageFINSharedNord I'll meet you there. RelationshipMarriageFINSharedOrc I'll see you there, then. RelationshipMarriageFINSharedRough I'll see you there. RelationshipMarriageFINStoreTopic We have a cozy little profit. Here. This is your share, love. RelationshipMarriageFINStoreTopic We've made a bit of gold. Here, love, this is your share. RelationshipMarriageFINStoreTopic Fortune smiles on us. Here's your share, love. RelationshipMarriageFINStoreTopic The gold is flowing nicely. Here's your half of the profits, my dear. RelationshipMarriageFINStoreTopic You want your share, don't you? Here you are, love. RelationshipMarriageFINStoreTopic Of course it has. Would you expect any less of me? Here, this is your half, my love. RelationshipMarriageFINStoreTopic It has. Here, this is your half, love. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingAskNO Oh. I'm sorry I said anything, then. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingAskNO I see. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingAskNO If that is your wish. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingAskNO Very well. I am poorer for it. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingAskNO What are you, some kind of tease? Stendarr's Mercy.... RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingAskNO Waste of time, then. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingAskNO Your choice. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingIntroTopic Well, yes. Why wouldn't I be? Are you... interested in me? RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingIntroTopic I am. I'd be glad to stand by your side until the Divines take us, if you'll have me. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingIntroTopic You're strong. Clever. I'd be proud to face the challenges of life with you, if you feel the same way. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingIntroTopic You have a kind heart. I'd be honored to walk by your side until the trees themselves fade away, if you would have me. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingIntroTopic I'd be a fool to turn down a chance of marrying you. I'm game if you're game! RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingIntroTopic You are pleasant company, more than pleasant. And what about you? Would you... be interested in a life together? RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtingIntroTopic Won't lie, I am. And you? RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtshipYES It's settled then. Brief as life can be in Skyrim, at least we'll have each other. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtshipYES Together. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtshipYES And mine is yours. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtshipYES As short as life can be in this land, we will have each other. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtshipYES Well, look at us, getting married. Life in Skyrim ain't all bad, huh? RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtshipYES Good. The two of us then. All of Skyrim should get ready to stand aside. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueCourtshipYES Then it's settled. You and me. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueMaramalTopic Wonderful. Where to begin? RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueMaramalTopic Mara is the Goddess of Love. The temple spreads her gifts by tending to the sick, the poor, and the lost. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueMaramalTopic We also perform wedding ceremonies for all the loving couples in Skyrim. RelationshipMarriageIntroDialogueMaramalWeddingTopic Yes. If you were ready, of course. Are you familiar with how marriage works in Skyrim? RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Wrong or right, the Mythic Dawn changed Tamriel's history. They deserve study. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Scholars from around the world will come here one day. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic I've had to be careful handling those blade shards you found. They're each sharp enough to sever a finger with no effort. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic It's strange holding a hilt that isn't connected to a dagger. Oh well. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic My family were in the Mythic Dawn. My museum is our legacy. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Here you are. Now remember, people in Skyrim respond to deeds. You will find more people interested in your love if you help them. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Good luck. Mara bless you. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Lost the last one I gave you? Very well, here you are. Mara keep you. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic I'm sorry, but even Mara's Temple needs coin. We will have a symbol ready for you when you come back with enough gold. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Mara will protect you. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic I'll wait here. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic I'll just be here, then. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic We'll be waiting, then. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic I will wait. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Back to the great task of waiting. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic I'll be right here, then. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic I'm ready, let's continue. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic All set, let's go. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Lead on. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic You lead, I'll follow. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Let's get going, then. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic We follow, then. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Khajiit will follow. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Lead on, friend. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic May the Hist guide us. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Let's tread softly. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Lead. I'll follow. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Malacath witness our deeds. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Lead us to our next task. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Go where the challenge is greatest. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Let's go. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Lead on, then. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Following. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Silus keeps filling his house with those Mythic Dawn things. Creepy, I tell you. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic I can't believe Silus is collecting Mythic Dawn artifacts. Right here in Dawnstar, no less. RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic Did you have any questions about the museum, or would you rather talk business? RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic What is it? Do you have one of the Razor fragments? RelationshipMarriageIntroSymbolofMaraTopic I keep gazing into the pommel gem. Not a single flaw. RelationshipMarriageMaramalWeddingRestartBranchTopic "Forgiveness is the heart of Mara's blessings." Very well. We shall re-arrange your wedding. RelationshipMarriageMaramalWeddingRestartBranchTopic Tomorrow. Same time as before. RelationshipMarriageMaramalWeddingRestartBranchTopic Well I think your betrothed might feel otherwise. The two of you will need to work this out before the temple will marry you. RelationshipMarriagePostWeddingLoveInterestBlockingTopic We're married. I guess we'll need to decide where we're living, won't we? You can always stay with me. RelationshipMarriagePostWeddingLoveInterestBlockingTopic I guess we have our entire lives together, now. Where should we live? You could stay with me.... RelationshipMarriagePostWeddingLoveInterestBlockingTopic We face the world together now. Where should we live? My home is yours. RelationshipMarriagePostWeddingLoveInterestBlockingTopic We're united, but where should we live? My home is yours, of course. RelationshipMarriagePostWeddingLoveInterestBlockingTopic I'm a married man! Hey, where should we live? I guess you could always stay with me. RelationshipMarriagePostWeddingLoveInterestBlockingTopic This is the happiest day of my life. Where should we live? My home is your home now, of course. RelationshipMarriagePostWeddingLoveInterestBlockingTopic Married. It doesn't feel like I thought it would, but I'm happy. Where should we live? You could stay with me.... RelationshipMarriagePriest01 Typically, love in Skyrim is as earnest as the people who live here. Life is hard, and short, so there is little room for long courtship. RelationshipMarriagePriest01 A person who is looking for a spouse simply wears an Amulet of Mara about the neck, showing they are available. RelationshipMarriagePriest01 When another person shows interest, and the two agree to be together, one of them comes to the Temple and we arrange a ceremony. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic You wish to be married? It's good to see love blossoming, even during these difficult times. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Your wedding will be held tomorrow, from dawn until dusk. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Don't be late, you don't want to miss your own wedding! RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic You've embarrassed the temple and spat in the face of love. What do you want? RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Is that an Amulet of Mara? I'm surprised someone like you isn't spoken for. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic An Amulet of Mara? You're not married? Surprising. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic That amulet. I've seen the Nords wear these when they're looking to marry. With your strength, you should have no trouble. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Is that Lady Mara's amulet? I'm shocked a fine person like you isn't married already. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic You're wearing Mara's amulet? You? I'd marry you. I'd marry you twice. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Look at you. Wearing an Amulet of Mara. Are you saying you're available? RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic An Amulet of Mara, you're looking for marriage, then? RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic You should arrange the ceremony at the Temple of Mara right away. I can't wait. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic You go ahead and arrange the wedding ceremony when you're ready. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic You should speak to the priest in the Temple of Mara to arrange the ceremony. No sense waiting. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Have you spoken to the Temple of Mara, yet? I'm so excited. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Hey, shouldn't you tell the Temple of Mara that we're getting married? Be hard to have a wedding without a priest. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Now shouldn't you be off arranging our wedding day? Don't keep me waiting. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic You should tell the priest we're getting married. They'll take things from there. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic I'll see you at our wedding! RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Our wedding is soon. I'll see you then! RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Never thought I'd get married under a Nord god. But with you, it feels right. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic Our wedding is soon, under Mara's loving eyes. It'll be perfect. RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic We have our wedding soon, don't we? That's right, we do! RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic I'm looking forward to our wedding. You and me.... RelationshipMarriageTempleArrangementTopic The wedding is soon. It'll be a good day. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic It's our wedding day. I feel like all of Skyrim is focused on just the two of us. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic This is a fine wedding. And to think, it's for us. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic This ceremony is so different from an Orc marriage. Less blood. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic I never would have dreamed I would be getting married in the Temple of Mara. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic Weddings always make me cry. What am I supposed to do now that I'm the one getting married? RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic It's a simple ceremony, but it'll do. You're here. That's enough. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic Who would have thought I would be getting married? RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic How could you? Just go. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic I don't want to see you ever again. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic Get away from me. Liar! RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic You should leave. Now. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic Get out. Leave me alone! RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic You're abandoning me? Me? I never want to see you ever again. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic Get out of my sight. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic Get out. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic Congratulations on your wedding. I'm so happy for both of you. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic Just leave. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic And so ends the Dark Brotherhood, once and for all. About bloody time. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic Anyway, I can smell the smoke. They've already set the place alight. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic If they were easy to kill, don't you think we would have done it years ago? If our men aren't out in a few minutes, they're dead, trust me. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneBlockingTopic What's the bloody hold up in there? How long can it take to run through a few scraggly assassins? RelationshipMarriageWeddingScenePlayerVowsTopic Do you agree to be bound together, in love, now and forever? RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneVowsNOTopic You're just going to walk away from your betrothal? Get out of the temple. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneVowsYESTopic Under the authority of Mara, the Divine of Love, I declare this couple to be wed. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSceneVowsYESTopic I present the two of you with these matching rings, blessed by Mara's divine grace. May they protect each of you in your new life together. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSharedArgonian It will be our little nest. I'll be waiting for you there. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSharedArrogant I'll see you at home, then. Don't keep me waiting! RelationshipMarriageWeddingSharedDrunk The two of us, living together. I'll see you at home! RelationshipMarriageWeddingSharedNeutral Our new home. I'll see you there! RelationshipMarriageWeddingSharedNord Then I'll see you at home! RelationshipMarriageWeddingSharedOrc A home for the two of us. I'll meet you there. RelationshipMarriageWeddingSharedRough I'll be waiting for you at home, then. RelationshipOrcsDialogueAddtoFactionBranchTopic Trust like that is not freely given. RelationshipOrcsDialogueAddtoFactionBranchTopic Gladly. By the Code of Malacath, I name you Blood-Brother to the Orcs. RelationshipOrcsDialogueAddtoFactionBranchTopic Gladly. By the Code of Malacath, I name you Blood-Sister to the Orcs. RelationshipOrcsDialogueIntroBranchTopic The most well known stronghold is Dushnikh Yal. Here, I'll mark it down for you. RelationshipOrcsDialogueIntroBranchTopic The strongholds keep to themselves. Skyrim hasn't always been kind to the Orcs. RelationshipOrcsDialogueIntroBranchTopic For an outsider like you to be accepted, an Orc would have to make you Blood-Kin, and send word to the chiefs. RelationshipOrcsFactionTitle I'll send word to the strongholds to let you in as one of our own. RelationshipOrcsFactionTitle Give him a chance to speak. He's trying to help us. RentRoomTopic Are you joking? You just rented a room from me. RentRoomTopic Have a good rest. It's the big room with the double bed. RentRoomTopic Sure thing. It's yours for a day. RentRoomTopic What does this look like, the Temple of Mara? No gold, no bed. RorikPatrolCommentTopic Nothing refreshes the soul like an honest day's labor in good, tilled earth. RorikPatrolCommentTopic Looks like it's going to be a bountiful harvest once again. The gods continue to smile upon us. RorikPatrolCommentTopic It's remarkable that our farms are so prosperous given the harsh winters of late. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic I want to be an adventurer like you, but my father says I can't. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic He says that he needs me to stay here and work the farm, and even if he did let me be an adventurer, we couldn't afford to buy armor. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic His name's Mralki, and he's the innkeeper here. I hope you can change his mind. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic I'll take your challenge, but if I win I get to start a new life as an adventurer, and with no objections from you. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Strong, yes, but how clever are you? I'll tell you what, if you can open the lock on my chest, you can have everything in it. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic I'll make the preparations immediately! RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic But... I... very well. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic We can do this one of two ways. You can walk with me up to the keep, or I can drag your lifeless body. Your choice. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic This is insane! I didn't steal anything! I never saw this ring before in my entire life! RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's right. It isn't yours. You're under arrest, Brand-Shei. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic I'm telling you, I don't... wait, what's this ring? This isn't mine! RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Don't play stupid. I said turn out your pockets... now! RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Have what? What in blazes are you talking about? RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic All right, Brand-Shei. Turn out your pockets, we know you have it. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Wait a second. Looks like there's something in this cage. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic No, I haven't seen him since the dragon showed up. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Was Jarl Ulfric with you? RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Shor's bones. We were too late. Damn the Empire. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Come on! RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Hear that? RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic A storeroom. See if you can find any potions. We'll need them. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic A storeroom. Grab anything you can, but let's keep moving. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Damn, that dragon doesn't give up easy. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic Look out! RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's some good armor you've put together. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's some good armor you've put together. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's some good armor you've put together. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's some good armor you've put together. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's some good armor you've put together. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's some good armor you've put together. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's some good armor you've put together. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's some good armor you've put together. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's some good armor you've put together. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's a decent weapon you've made there. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's a decent weapon you've made there. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's a decent weapon you've made there. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's a decent weapon you've made there. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's a decent weapon you've made there. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's a decent weapon you've made there. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's a decent weapon you've made there. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's a decent weapon you've made there. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch1Topic That's a decent weapon you've made there. RoriksteadFreeform1Branch3Topic You look like you've seen your share of adventure. I envy you that. In fact, maybe you can help me with something. Will you hear me out? RoriksteadFreeform1Branch4Topic Thank you. I can't stand the thought of being trapped in this village for the rest of my days. RoriksteadFreeformBranch10MralkiTopicTopic Exploiting? What's that supposed to mean? Erik works the farm because he's a good lad! RoriksteadFreeformBranch10MralkiTopicTopic I'm not forcing him to stay here. I know that he wants a life of adventure, but I've told him before that I can't afford to buy him armor. RoriksteadFreeformBranch11MralkiTopic Another time, or not at all. It's really none of your business, after all. RoriksteadFreeformBranch5MralkiTopic My son? Erik? What about him? Did something happen? Is he alright? RoriksteadFreeformBranch6MralkiTopic But the world is a dangerous place. Erik has no idea what he's getting himself into. RoriksteadFreeformBranch6MralkiTopic What's more, he's got no armor. I'll have to save up the money for it. RoriksteadFreeformBranch7MralkiTopic You would give your own coin to help my son? I'm moved by your compassion. RoriksteadFreeformBranch7MralkiTopic Your kind deed will not go unrewarded, my friend. Tell Erik I've changed my mind, and we'll visit Whiterun soon to fit him for armor. RoriksteadFreeformBranch7MralkiTopic I appreciate the gesture, but I'd rather not be in debt to a stranger. RoriksteadFreeformBranch8MralkiTopic Ah, I see. I've just remembered that I saved a few septims in case of an emergency. This is starting to feel like one. RoriksteadFreeformBranch8MralkiTopic Tell Erik that I've changed my mind, and we'll visit Whiterun soon to fit him for armor. And please don't hurt me! RoriksteadFreeformBranch8MralkiTopic Go ahead, hit me as often as you want. It's not going to change anything, other than to make me and the town guard angry. RoriksteadFreeformBranch9MralkiTopic I... I cannot deny the truth of what you say. Erik is all the family that I have left, but it's wrong to hold him back as I have. RoriksteadFreeformBranch9MralkiTopic Go and tell Erik that I've changed my mind. I'll see about borrowing some money in Whiterun for his armor. RoriksteadFreeformBranch9MralkiTopic Perhaps you should let a father decide what is best for his own son. RoriksteadFreeformChangeMindTopic Did you reconsider? Will you talk to my father? RoriksteadFreeformErikConclusionTopic2Topic Can't blame you for having better things to do than help some farmer you don't know. RoriksteadFreeformErikConclusionTopicTopic I can't thank you enough, friend. I'll hope you'll come back to Rorikstead soon and pay me a visit. RoriksteadFreeformErikConclusionTopicTopic Maybe we can swap stories about our adventures over a mug of ale at the inn! RoriksteadFreeformErikGeneralTopic1Topic It's true. For as long as I can remember our crops have always done well. RoriksteadFreeformErikGeneralTopic1Topic I'm not sure whether it's the soil, the climate or the favor of the Divines, but we've never had a poor harvest. RoriksteadFreeformErikGeneralTopic2Topic Born and raised right here in Rorikstead. RoriksteadFreeformErikGeneralTopic2Topic My father was a soldier. He fought in the great war and when it was over, he retired here to raise a family. RoriksteadFreeformErikGeneralTopic2Topic My mother passed away when I was just a babe, so he did his best to raise me on his own. RoriksteadFreeformErikGeneralTopic2Topic It's not the most exciting place in the world, but the people here work hard and don't cause trouble for anyone. RoriksteadFreeformNoTopic Well, if you change your mind, I'd still like your help. RunilTroubledBranch02Topic Although I have not practiced in a long time I was once a wizard. Even when I was young my magic was undeniably powerful. RunilTroubledBranch02Topic It was that power that brought me to the attention of the Thalmor. In the Summerset Isles it is a great honor to be chosen to serve the Thalmor. RunilTroubledBranch02Topic02 They are the governing council of the Aldmeri Dominion. They lead us to attack the Empire and forced the Empire to agree to stop worshiping Talos. RunilTroubledBranch02Topic02 It was during the war with the Empire that I was at the height of my power. As a Thalmor battlemage I laid waste the enemy. RunilTroubledBranch02Topic02 Men, women, children, no one was spared my wrath. I destroyed whole villages. RunilTroubledBranch02Topic03 I dream about those days still. Except I'm not me. I can see myself there and I try to stop what I know is going to happen but... RunilTroubledBranch02Topic03 Many of the Empire's troops were Nords at that point. Some of them could even have been from around here. RunilTroubledBranch03Topic01 Thank you. May Arkay bless you. I won't forget this. SalveniBranch01Topic Thanks for getting me out of that. Bashnag's coven chased me out and left me for dead down here. Nobody lasts too long with the spiders. SalveniBranch01Topic Please, will you help me get out of here? If the coast is clear, I'll make a break for it. SalveniBranch01Topic I'm too weak right now. Between the spiders and the coven, I'd be dead before escaping the cave. SalveniBranch01Topic I'm feeling better, but Bashnag's curse won't wear off for weeks. SalveniBranch01Topic I won't be myself for some time. I just need to get out of here and recover. SalveniBranch01Topic Of course! I undersand completely. You just put us in a room, and I'll do all the talking. No worries at all. SalveniBranch01Topic I'll consider it. Many of the people I deal with are... secretive. You know how it is. SalveniBranch01Topic Well, I'll want to meet them next time they're around. Maybe you can give an introduction. SalveniBranch01Topic Oh, just a matter of finding the right suppliers. SalveniBranch01Topic You know. Where do you get your goods? I am always amazed at how you manage to sell things so cheaply. SalveniBranch01Topic My... my what, now? SalveniBranch01Topic Niranye, I just have to know -- what is your secret? SalveniBranch01Topic Sorry, my scaly friend, you've come to the wrong place. Around here we don't ignore what's happening in the world. SalveniBranch01Topic If it's all the same to you, Scouts-Many-Marshes prefers to eat and drink in peace. SalveniBranch01Topic Eight septims for breaking your back, and then you live in squalor. How much is your dignity worth? SalveniBranch01Topic Eight septims per day, plus lodging. SalveniBranch01Topic How much? SalveniBranch01Topic That's really none of your business... SalveniBranch01Topic How much do they pay you per day? SalveniBranch01Topic Just you wait and see. SalveniBranch01Topic Oh, I doubt that very much. Who would load their ships, then? SalveniBranch01Topic Look around you. Don't you know what their little war is about? They want all non-Nords out of Skyrim. That means you and me. SalveniBranch01Topic I think that's just their way. The Nords don't like anybody who's not a Nord, but they're not bad people, deep down. SalveniBranch01Topic Why do you even need to ask? They treat your people as bad as they do mine. SalveniBranch01Topic Why do the Nords bother you so much, Ambarys? SalveniBranch01Topic Either pour another drink or keep moving, Ambarys. SalveniBranch01Topic Touchy. Maybe some Dunmer lives in you yet. SalveniBranch01Topic What do you want from me? I work for them ok? We're not friends. They pay me, and I get the job done. That's it. SalveniBranch01Topic What's new with the Cruel-Seas, Suvaris? Have they given you one of those helmets with the horns on them yet? SalveniBranch01Topic Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that, and you're going to leave me alone. Deal? SalveniBranch01Topic Fine, then. I guess some Dunmer are content to be their pets. SalveniBranch01Topic Look, Ambarys, I just came here for a drink. I don't need any trouble. SalveniBranch01Topic Don't you ever find it demeaning, working for that Nord family? SalveniBranch01Topic I... I'm sorry, dear, I've got some other customers. I'll be back around in a minute. SalveniBranch01Topic What about being loyal to his wife? SalveniBranch01Topic I know, dear. He's a busy man, though, and loyal to the Stormcloaks. SalveniBranch01Topic I just don't know what to do anymore. He's hardly ever in the temple. I see him at breakfast, and that's it. SalveniBranch01Topic Here, let me get you some mead. This one's on me. SalveniBranch01Topic It's been better, I'll be honest with you. SalveniBranch01Topic Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Is everything all right? SalveniBranch01Topic Don't bother. I don't have much chance of seeing my husband these days. He's always up in the palace with Ulfric. SalveniBranch01Topic Oh, Jora. Good to see you. I was wondering if you might ask Lortheim something for me. SalveniBranch01Topic Think nothing of it. SalveniBranch01Topic Oh, thank the gods you're in Windhelm, Calixto! SalveniBranch01Topic Bring it to me straight away when you find it. Don't dally. I can keep it safe. SalveniBranch01Topic Oh dear. What should I do? SalveniBranch01Topic Be very careful with that. It sounds as if it may be the Death Ring of Dro'farahn. A ring of the most dangerous sort. SalveniBranch01Topic Well, I seem to have misplaced it at the moment. But it was white, like alabaster, with three bright rubies set in it. SalveniBranch01Topic Of course, my dear. It may prove to be quite the curiosity! One must always be alert. SalveniBranch01Topic Calixto, someone left an interesting ring in here a few weeks ago. Would you like a look? SalveniBranch01Topic Coming right up. SalveniBranch01Topic Very much so. SalveniBranch01Topic How would you like a drink? SalveniBranch01Topic The dark elves are uneasy. There's a killer on the streets. And Viola Giordano won't leave me alone. SalveniBranch01Topic So what's the news on the street, Captain? SalveniBranch01Topic I'm not seeking advice right now, friend. Just send the message. SalveniBranch01Topic Of course. Something that seems to be in short supply these days. SalveniBranch01Topic It will work if we can pull Hran's men from the south. And find a bit of luck. SalveniBranch01Topic Is that wise, sir? SalveniBranch01Topic I'm diverting Gar and Haddring's men to join him. SalveniBranch01Topic And the message, sir? SalveniBranch01Topic Jorleif, I want you to send a messenger to our western camps. SalveniBranch01Topic Of course, my lord. SalveniBranch01Topic Let me know if you hear anything more substantial? SalveniBranch01Topic They don't seem to be very sympathetic to our cause, sir. SalveniBranch01Topic Blasted dark elves. I don't suppose you could tell them that I presently have larger concerns? Such as all of Skyrim? SalveniBranch01Topic Sir, there continues to be unrest in the Gray Quarter. SalveniBranch01Topic As you wish, sir. SalveniBranch01Topic But you're able to see the whole in the parts, and for that I'm grateful. SalveniBranch01Topic To be sure, my lord, I am not skilled in the arts of war or military tactics. SalveniBranch01Topic A good point, old friend. SalveniBranch01Topic Well, sir, the hold of Falkreath is fairly vulnerable, and blocks the only road from Cyrodiil. SalveniBranch01Topic And you, Jorleif? SalveniBranch01Topic A reasonable strategy. SalveniBranch01Topic Galmar thinks we should double our men in the Reach. SalveniBranch01Topic Carry on, Lonely-Gale. And loosen yourself a bit. SalveniBranch01Topic Um... yes, of course, sir. SalveniBranch01Topic Well that much is good. Let's finish this first war before starting the next one, eh? SalveniBranch01Topic As restless as ever, sir, but I don't see them taking any kind of incendiary action. Not soon, anyway. SalveniBranch01Topic What's the current spirit among the dark elves? SalveniBranch01Topic See that you do. I will not let Windhelm descend into chaos over a few overactive imaginations. SalveniBranch01Topic Yes, sir. I'll try to contain her. SalveniBranch01Topic I don't care if she can find a living dwarf -- I can't have her stirring up trouble. We have enough problems as it is. SalveniBranch01Topic Yes, sir. I've been trying to quiet her, but she's insistent. She thinks she can find out who's been killing the women... SalveniBranch01Topic Captain, I've been receiving complaints about this Giordano woman. SalveniBranch01Topic I can ask no more. Thank you, my lord! SalveniBranch01Topic I'll think on this, but I make no promises. SalveniBranch01Topic You need but ask. SalveniBranch01Topic And I suppose the Cruel-Seas would be just the clan to provide ships and men? SalveniBranch01Topic But imagine -- fleets of ships sailing from Windhelm, all bearing the Stormcloak flag! It would be glorious! SalveniBranch01Topic But most of their supply routes come south, from Cyrodiil. SalveniBranch01Topic A navy, my lord. We could stop the influx of Imperial troops to Solitude, and choke their northern lines. SalveniBranch01Topic I'm still not sure I understand what you're asking. SalveniBranch01Topic Regardless. It appears Skyrim must stand alone. Again. SalveniBranch01Topic Those milk drinkers? Might as well be elves. Think they're better than us. SalveniBranch01Topic I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. They've never had many problems with the Empire. SalveniBranch01Topic Not a peep. Those prissy Bretons can't be made to lift a finger to help their neighbors. SalveniBranch01Topic Is there any news from High Rock? SalveniBranch01Topic It's working, Galmar. Our patience has won us friends and allies. And our armies are systematically taking care of the rest. SalveniBranch01Topic We need to move faster. Keep them off balance. SalveniBranch01Topic We can't march on Solitude. Not yet. One thing at a time. SalveniBranch01Topic Our men are getting massacred out there. Damn Imperials. SalveniBranch01Topic Calm yourself, Galmar. Save it for the battlefield. SarethiFarmGoodbyes Come visit again sometime. SarethiFarmGoodbyes Good luck finding those jazbay grapes, they're very rare. SarethiFarmGoodbyes Back to work. SarethiFarmHellos I'm still busy, but I can always make time to speak with you. SarethiFarmHellos Always a pleasure. What brings you back? SarethiFarmHellos Any luck locating those jazbay grapes? SarethiFarmHellos Ah, you're back. SarethiFarmHellos I hope this is important... I get little sleep as it is. SarethiFarmHellos I'm a bit busy at the moment, what did you want? SarethiFarmHellos I have a lot to do around the farm, so make it quick please. What is it you wanted? SarethiFarmHellos I don't suppose you could come back another time? I'm very busy. SarethiFarmHellos This place is boring. Nothing but the same thing every day. Sigh. SarethiFarmHellos I wish I could head to one of the capital cities... maybe even back to Mournhold. Anywhere but here. SarethiFarmHellos One day I hope to become a painter, but at this rate it looks like it's never going to happen. SarethiFarmHellos Can you imagine how wonderful it would be to set what you see on a canvas so you'd have that memory forever? SarethiFarmHellos My sister keeps telling me that the farm keeps us alive, but I don't really call this living. SarethiFarmHellos I can't let you do this, mother. You have to die now! SarethiFarmHellos I'll just prepare the subject now... SarethiFarmHellos Splendid! Please take a seat on the chair behind me, would you? SarethiFarmHellos I found a willing subject for you. Payment has already been discussed, of course. SarethiFarmHellos Daughter. Who is this you have brought me? SarethiFarmHellos Greetings, mother. SarethiFarmHellos This is the last hagraven between us and my mother! SarethiFarmHellos Mining out this old rock is a lot quieter, now. Thank the Divines. SarethiFarmHellos Hard to believe there'd be an old crypt underneath the mine. SarethiFarmHellos We're getting back to work as best we can. SarethiFarmHellos It's crazy to still be working here. What if there's more draugr down there? SarethiFarmHellos This mine will be our grave yet. I just know it. SarethiFarmHellos Any day now more draugr are going to come out of that crypt. SarethiFarmHellos We tunneled into an old crypt. We're warning strangers to keep out. SarethiFarmHellos I'm not going into the mine with draugr lurking down there. SarethiFarmHellos Guards are useless. They just stand around waiting for a full regiment to come and help. SarethiFarmHellos We're keeping the mine closed until that crypt is clear. SarethiFarmHellos I hear talk about a regiment coming to clear the crypt out. We'll see if that happens. SarethiFarmHellos There's still plenty of ore left in that mine. What a waste. SarethiFarmHellos Mine's closed. Move along. SarethiFarmHellos Yes, ma'am. SarethiFarmHellos You leave him alone. I don't want to hear Skaggi telling me you've been bothering him again! SarethiFarmHellos But mom, it's so boring with just me and Torom. I was just asking Skaggi some questions. SarethiFarmHellos Skaggi tells me that you were bothering him today. Can't you and Torom just play by yourselves? SarethiFarmHellos I'm grateful, Skaggi. I'm sorry my daughter gives you so much trouble. SarethiFarmHellos You work hard, Daighre. Glad you have stayed with us. SeemSo It would seem so. SelveniFreeMeTopic Please, cut me down! SelveniHelpBranchTopic Bashnag cursed me. I can't cast a spell to save my life right now. I'll have to wait until the way out is safe. SharedCrimeTGBribe01 Since you put it that way, I think we can overlook your crime for now. SharedCrimeTGBribe02 All right, all right. Just keep your voice down and don't let me catch you again. SharedCrimeTGBribe03 Everything here appears to be in order. You can move along now.

SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic But he has returned home, and people have heard strange chanting. They say it's the Black Sacrament, the ritual to contact the Dark Brotherhood. SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic Why a little boy would want to contact a group of murderers is beyond me, but he is inviting evil into this city. SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic All right. I won't deny it, child. What you heard is true. But Aventus Aretino walks a dark path. His actions can lead only to ruin. SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic Ha! Then I'm right. I knew it. He's trying to have somebody killed! SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic Oh, Grimvar... always with the nonsense. No, no, of course not. Those are just tales... SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic Then it's true, what everyone is saying? That Aventus Aretino is doing the Black Sacrament? Trying to summon the Dark Brotherhood? SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic No, child! Wait! That boy, that house - they're cursed. SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic Fine. Then I'll invite him out to play. He lives right there. I'm going to knock on his door... SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic They don't have to be perfect. Just send them over when they're ready. SingsOfDreamsDBBranchTopic I can only hammer so fast, Gerdur.

SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You treat a horse well, it'll take you to Oblivion and back. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Traveling in the Reach is dangerous. You need a good carriage.

SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question My daughter Adara is also my apprentice. She's a quick study. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I prefer working in silver. More skill needed than forging iron or steel. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Silver-Bloods tax everything now that they run the city. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The finest jewelry in all of Markarth. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Redguard craftsmanship in every piece. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Are you looking for a gift for a friend, perhaps? Or... a lover? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Perhaps a silver necklace or a silver ring? Easy to wear and soft against the skin. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I have a necklace that would look lovely on you, or on a... special someone. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question My daughter Adara is going to be a fine silversmith when she's older. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Jewelry for sale. Redguard craftsmanship in every piece. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You there, uh, the finest silver in Markarth is sold right here. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Maybe you could buy a gift for a friend? A best friend? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm going to be a silversmith one day, like my mother and father. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Being an apprentice is great. I get to swing a hammer at things. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Mama doesn't like me jumping up and down in the house, but I can't help it. I swear. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Stormcloaks or Imperials. Either way, all they want is everything for free and you to lick their boots. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Hey you. Yeah, you. Fresh meat for your stomach. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The bloodiest beef in the Reach. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You want a cut of venison or mutton? Of course you do. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Don't try to haggle with me. Buy or leave. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The secret to chopping meat is never washing your hands. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question A man like me makes a lot of enemies. People are always trying to cheat me. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I paid extra for the biggest room in the Silver-Blood Inn. I need space to stretch these arms. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I am the Jarl of Markarth, now. The Silver-Blood family is finally where it should have always been. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Igmund was weak. We'll bring the order that the Empire should have. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Let the Forsworn ravage the Reach. Talos favors us. Our victory is assured. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Silver-Blood family will be heard. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Jarl can refuse to see me all he likes. He can't ignore us forever. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Markarth lives because my family makes sure it's fed on gold and silver. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm Thongvor's steward now. Every coin in this city is ours. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question We'll be sending generous resources to Ulfric. As much as the Reach can bleed. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Taxes. I love taxes. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Out of my way, kinsman. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Out of my way, outsider. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Bother someone else. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Didn't I speak clear enough? Out of my way. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Thongvor's made me his housecarl. Remember, me killing you is legal. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Keeping this place secure is as simple as breaking a few spines. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Used to have run-ins with the guards, now they have run-ins with me. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Outsiders. Pfft. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Blood and silver, friend. Blood and silver. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Just turn around and leave the city. That's the smart move. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Generally posting information is need to know only. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question My family owns this inn, but I've put Kleppr in charge. Right rat for the right job, I say. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question It's good to see a fresh face. You wouldn't have happen to come from Whiterun would you? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm a busy man. Half this city works for my family, and I have to keep them in line. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question It's all thanks to a special technique I developed. I call it the "Razor-Winged Butterfly." I'd teach it to you... but then I'd have to kill you. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Thongvor may be the head of the family, but I'm the hands. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Yeah, well, don't expect many more stories like that in my future. I'm getting old. Being that amazing takes too much damn effort. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question We control every piece of this city. The people should be calling us kings. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Hmph. Been awhile since I've actually cleaved someone in two. Forgot how hard it was to get the scimitar back out. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question If someone joins the Forsworn, we haul him to the mines. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Let that be a lesson to you young pups. There is no challenge that magic cannot overcome. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Every prisoner in the Reach is just another worker for our family. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Bah! A child could have accomplished it. Such is the power of the arcane. If you only knew of the spells I didn't use. He he he he he. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm married to Thonar Silver-Blood. Keep that in mind while you're speaking to me. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What? You think me too old, too feeble? There is more knowledge in me than in two of you pups put together. And knowledge... knowledge is my weapon. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question My husband Thonar handles all our family's business. He's an important man. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Once again, you have underestimated me. You see the man, brutish and hulking. But I am wolf as well. Deliberate. Cunning. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I married Thonar for the money, and I'm not the least bit ashamed to admit it. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Romantic, isn't? Like that time we first met. Remember that? Never seen so much blood. Ah, to be young again... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm just a servant. Don't pay me any mind. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question When I am become wolf, I am treachery incarnate. And then, then... there is no one who can stand between the hunter and his prey. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Working in the Treasury House isn't so bad. I earn good money. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question When I first received the blessing of the wolf, my creator gave me a valuable piece of advice. "Arnbjorn," he said. "Never lose!" And I never do. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Ildene has been working in the Treasury House since before I was born. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Sometimes I hear Yngvar singing in his room. He's actually quite good. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question He he. Don't forget that I am Shadowscale. I was, quite literally, born to kill. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You just let old nana know if you need anything, all right dear? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question It was a simple matter, really, when one has mastered the art of camouflage. Scale becomes stone, becomes shadow. Then... death. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I've worked in the Treasury House for almost twenty years. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question There isn't an inch of this building that I haven't cleaned up. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question My greatest challenge was deciding which weapon to use, for I am prone to indecision. Bow, dagger... axe? In the end, I opted for my claws. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question So the Stormcloaks took the Reach? Maybe Talos really is on their side. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question In truth? It was so easy, I feel a bit guilty. Once again, the sweet, innocent child earned more trust than was wise. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Arnleif and Sons Trading Company buys and sells anything you wandering types need. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You give me too much credit. For how could I fail? I am, after all, just a little girl. What threat could I possibly pose? He he he he he. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question No, I'm not Arnleif. Yes, I know it's called Arnleif and Sons. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I am the perfect weapon. My innocent, childish form grants me nearly unrestricted access. Poison or a good bite usually takes care of the rest. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The selection seems small, but we can provide whatever you need. Just ask. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I am but a humble instrument of Sithis. Our Dread Father guides me. Therefore, failure is an impossibility. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I love hearing Ogmund sing at the inn. He's a true skald. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question In the end, I relied on a woman's natural weapons - beauty and seduction. The rest was a formality. Though, a rather wet, messy formality... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question With Lisbet gone, I'll be taking care of you. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question When one can divine the future, success may not be assured... but it can at least be anticipated. It helps that I've already foretold my own death. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Let me know if there's something you need to buy. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Come now, dear husband. You above all people should know what I'm capable of. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm keeping Arnleif and Sons going, as best I can. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Unscrupulous daring. It's why you fell in love with me, my dear. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Never thought I'd be running the store. I'm not used to it. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Sometimes I just need to remind everyone why I'm the one in charge. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Lisbet handles the customers. I just check the shipments. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I guess I got tired of handing out contracts to everyone else, while I stayed home playing den mother. It was good to get out, and have some fun. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Feel free to take a look around the store. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy myself. But more importantly, I made this Sanctuary some much needed gold. In the end, that's all that matters. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I've been at Arnleif and Sons all my life. It's a good store. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Well, I just did what had to be done. Nothing more. Nothing less. I'm just glad I lived to tell the tale. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I remember old Arnleif building each shelf in this store himself. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Ah, contracts like that are few and far between, it seems. Makes me long for the old days... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Old Arnleif would be proud of Lisbet. She's kept this place running, thick and thin. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm the Jarl's personal blacksmith, but that doesn't mean I can't sell you a few pieces for a fair price. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I brought in my cousin Cosnach to help me handle shipments. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Empire has always been good to the Orcs, but this war of theirs is none of my concern. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question There's no shipments coming in, so I do nothing. Just drink. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question "Check the shipments" Lisbet says. "There are no shipments" I says. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question No breaks for a good worker out here. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question This is the Silver-Blood Inn. I'll let you figure out who owns it by yourself. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question If I can't get you something, I'm sure my wife will bellow at me until I can. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Things are so much quieter with my darling Frabbi dead. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Unlike my husband Kleppr, I watch after our guests. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Now you just tell me if you need something. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You come right to me if you find an unwashed floor or lumpy bed. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'll bend Kleppr's ear if there's anything wrong with a room you rent. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Just here to drink. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Isn't my son Hreinn such a good worker? Not like his father at all.... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Can't talk. Mulush will beat me if I stop working. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question My worthless husband is gone, so I run the inn now. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I spill just a bit of metal, and Mulush takes it out of my hide. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I can't believe the mess Kleppr left things in. I have twice the work with him gone. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Can't you see I'm working? Beat it. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Don't mind the yelling. My parents are always going at each other. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm just here to clean up. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Drinks here are watered down, but they're cheap. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question My father is more generous than he lets on. Gives me plenty of spending money. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I oversee Markarth Smelter. Worker gets out of line, I get him back in line. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Hag's Cure is here for all your discreet needs... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question These workers. Always complaining. Always excuses. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I have potions for disease, love sickness, irritating children... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question If a man has time to complain, he has time to work. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question A little bit of old Reach magic can cure whatever ills you.... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Shipment of silver this month is behind. Nepos is to blame, not me. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Oh yes... you'll need one of my special brews... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Not scared of an old woman now, are you? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I tell Thonar I can only smelt what Nepos and his miners dig up. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I've taken over the Hag's Cure, since Bothela is gone. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Stormcloaks have taken the Reach, but we'll return. The Empire will bring order. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm not sure if half these potions work. But they should. I think. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What do you want? Haven't you done enough damage to Markarth? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I wish Bothela was still running the store. I'm not ready for this. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm Bothela's assistant. She's the one you should talk to if you need an herb or a potion. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You speak to Igmund. Son of Hrolfdir. Jarl of Markarth. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question There's so much to learn about the shop. I'll never get it all straight. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Treat my people fairly, and I will do the same to you. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Why can't the men in this city leave me alone? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Forsworn have troubled the Reach for too long. I intend to deal with them. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Alms. I said "alms" you backbiter. Give a crippled worker a helping hand. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Markarth is not without its problems, but the Empire is here to maintain order. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I can't believe we lost Markarth. Igmund's family has ruled there for generations. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question How about a septim? Wait, make that two septims, I feel like living it up. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I don't think we have anything to discuss, Stormcloak. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Come on, you outsiders always have plenty of gold on you. Spare a piece! SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question They don't like us talking to people when we work. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm Igmund's uncle as well as his steward. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Busy with the smelter. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I advise Igmund the same way I advised his father. Caution, caution, caution. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Got metal to shape. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Forsworn know every stone in the Reach. We have to wait them out. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Igmund is alive, and I'll keep it that way, Jarl or not. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You lay one finger on Igmund, and I'll end you Stormcloak. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question As his housecarl, Igmund's security is my chief concern. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Igmund's father was killed by Forsworn. I won't rest until they've paid with their blood. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Raerek is far too cautious, but I'll agree with him on any measure that keeps this city safe. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Need a new blade? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Got an axe here. Good for cleaving up Forsworn. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question How about some armor? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question How unfortunate he has to dig through refuse like that. Someone should give him a piece of bread. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You'll want some thick armor if you're traveling the Reach alone. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question How unfortunate she has to dig through refuse like that. Someone should give her a piece of bread. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Don't bother with Tacitus. Useless. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You never know what you'll find laying around in a crate or barrel. People toss the darnedest things in them. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You never know what you'll find laying around in a crate or barrel. People toss the darnedest things in them. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You'd think an apprentice could forge a few hinges. Not Tacitus. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's he doing poking his nose in there? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I run the forge now. Kind of... scary. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's she doing poking her nose in there? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Making weapons and armor isn't like making nails at all. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Is he... sifting through trash? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You need a sword? Uh, how about a small sword? Nail-sized? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Is she... sifting through trash? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm Ghorza's assistant. I help her with the forge. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's he rummaging around in there for? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Ghorza is the one you should ask if you need anything. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's she rummaging around in there for? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm not very good for anything more than smithing nails right now. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Look at him, rummaging through refuse. Wonder what he's lost... besides his mind. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question One time, I almost cut a finger off sharpening a blade. I hate blood. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Look at her, rummaging through refuse. Wonder what she's lost... besides her mind. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I have things to study, what is it? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Tsk. What a man will do for a few coins... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The artifacts I've discovered in Nchuand-Zel will make history one day. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Tsk. What a woman will do for a few coins... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I've only ever lost a few guards to Steam Centurions. Good odds, considering... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Picking through garbage. Has he no shame? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I used to travel so much before all this Forsworn nonsense. Such an inconvenience... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Picking through garbage. Has she no shame? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Oh, excuse me. With my uncle gone, things are a bit of a mess. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's he digging around in there for? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm not half the wizard my uncle was, but I still have a few spells worth buying. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's she digging around in there for? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's he doing? Looking for rubies in rubbish? Get a job! SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Did you need something? A staff? Some enchanting materials? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm Calcelmo's nephew. I help him around the laboratory. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's she doing? Looking for rubies in rubbish? Get a job! SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Don't let my uncle go on about his theories. You'll be here all night. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's this? It thinks it can just throw refuse wherever it likes? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'm afraid to touch half of the things we keep in the tower. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Really, the nerve of some people, leaving their trash wherever they please. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What kind of filthy barbarian just throws their trash on the ground? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I try not to think about how my uncle got all the Dwemer Centurion parts. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Oh, by all means. Just leave your refuse wherever you see fit. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Before you say anything, no, I am not from the Reach. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question There's a place for trash, and that's not it. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I have meals to cook for the entire castle and almost no help. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question In my day, we knew how to dispose of trash properly. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Jarl gives me two incompetent assistants. Worthless. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's the matter with you? You think you can just go dropping your junk wherever you like? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I have to work, or Anton will rip my head off. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Look at this one. Spoiled as a child, I'll bet. Allowed to leave trash just lying around... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Anton sure looks like he's from the Reach, but don't tell him that. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I swear, is there no end to these uncouth savages, just throwing their trash wherever they please... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Only reason Jarl keeps Anton on is because he cooks up a storm. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Hrmmm. Pick up your trash, fetcher. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Don't mind the dogs, they get anxious when they haven't had dinner. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question And they call me a savage. Least I don't leave my trash lying around... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You should talk to Anton if you need anything. He's the master chef. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I never did understand the local custom of simply leaving one's trash wherever is convenient... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question It's been a hard day cleaning. Good, honest work I say. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Even the dead need company. That's what Arkay provides. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Who does that? Who just leaves their garbage lying about? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question We all come into Arkay's light in the end, but there's no need to rush. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Gah! Quit throwing your garbage everywhere. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question One person's trash is another's treasure. Don't be surprised if you find that gone... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Markarth is a city of wealth, but gold doesn't follow you in death. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Arkay's blessing to you. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You have the honor of addressing a member of the Thalmor. Bask in it. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Dominion is here, and we're watching you. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Thalmor know how to deal with Talos worshippers. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question If you see any signs of Talos worship, it's your obligation to report them to me. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Aldmeri Dominion is the only thing keeping the Empire on its feet. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question This war is such nonsense. All this fuss over their false human god. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Warrens isn't a place for your type. What do you want? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Warrens ain't for you. Trust me. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You don't want to be here. No one wants to. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Don't know anyone here doesn't have Rattles or Ataxia. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Empire didn't think we could take the Reach, but here we are. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Let's see those Stormcloaks try to break into this canyon. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Outsiders aren't trusted in Markarth. Best keep that in mind. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Can't believe I'm posted here. Even the beds are made of stone. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You should see that Orc over in Understone Keep, have him forge you some new armor... SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question By Shor, you're hauling around a lot of junk. Best stop in at the Arnleif and Sons Trading Company, sell it off. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Let me guess - you need a drink. It's the Silver-Blood Inn you're looking for. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Break the law in Markarth, and it's off to Cidhna Mine with you. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Caught a case of Rockjoint, once. Bothela at the Hag's Cure fixed me right up. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Lots of nasty holes in the Reach, and Blind Cliff Cave is one of them. A filthy Hagraven nest, northeast of here. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question There's an evil to the north, friend, and its name is Ragnvald. A tomb like so many in Skyrim, where the dead have found no peace. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Travel southeast and you'll find an Orc stronghold, up around the old Dushnikh orichalcum mine. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Beware the region northeast, across the river. Forsworn have taken refuge in Broken Tower Redoubt and Red Eagle Redoubt. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question There's a small skeever den just east of the city, at Reachwater Rock. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question The Forsworn have been spotted to the north, near Bruca's Leap Redoubt. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Need a trained war dog? Fiercest companion money can buy. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I'll be handling the horses with Cedran gone. Miss that old man. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question A war dog is good company and good protection. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question I like the loyalty of a dog. Not as fickle as a wolf. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You have to train a good war dog from a pup. Bite your arm clean off otherwise. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Ondolemar is the commander of the Thalmor in Markarth. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Worship of Talos is strictly forbidden. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question What's that supposed to prove? Get back on patrol! SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question But, I've got the key to the Sabre Cage! Look! SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Pfft SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Troll's blood was he a tough one! SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Take down that one with your bare hands too? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Yeah, why? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Wasn't our last catch a Cave Bear? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Why, you don't think I could do it? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question So, you're saying you brought that cat down alone? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You are on the right path, and you will prevail. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You will be called on to take swift action. Rise to the challenge, and discover what you are capable of. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question It is imperative that you return to your College at once. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question You have done well thus far, but trying times are ahead. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Maybe he's looking for something to eat? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Maybe she's looking for something to eat? SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question He might find something good in there. One man's trash is another's treasure. SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question She might find something good in there.

SolitudeFreeform01ValdBranch1Question Desperate times call for desperate measures. Maybe she found what she was looking for in there. SolitudeFreeform01ValdContinue Her daughter was sent to Whiterun, the skirmishes there have been violent. The whiterun legate, he needed to know the Stormcloak positions. SolitudeFreeform01ValdContinue He sent out a party to scout the area. They happened upon a large force... I'm told none of them made it back. SolitudeFreeform01ValdContinue Private Morrard... Angela's daughter was in that scouting party. She needs to be told. SolitudeFreeform01ValdIntimidate If you want to know that bad then fine. SolitudeFreeform01ValdIntimidate I'm afraid that kind of thing doesn't work on Captains in the Imperial Army. SolitudeFreeform01ValdNevermind That's the way it is. SolitudeFreeform01ValdPersuade I... I've been trying to find the time and place to let her know. SolitudeFreeform01ValdPersuade I'm sorry, I can't help you. SolitudeFreeform01ValdPullRank Yes, Sir. Although I'm not sure you'll be happy to know. SolitudeFreeform02Elisif01Topic It's quite fetching actually. The craftsmanship is excellent. SolitudeFreeform02Elisif02Topic Oh really? Well you can tell them that I will be putting in a request for a few dresses quite soon. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic That's wonderful. You've done us a great service. As promised the outfit is yours and here's something for your trouble. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Good to see you. Come on in. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Hello friend. Make yourself at home. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Can I help you? SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic You lost? SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic I trust you're not planning any trouble. What can I do for you, friend? SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic If you are here to purchase, I have many spells available. Do come in. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Welcome. There are many things here that cannot be found elsewhere. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Good to have a customer! You need food or drink, you say the word. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Always good to see folk come back for more. You need a drink, you just let me know. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic It's down the stairs, dear. Just come right in. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Oh, do come in! I hope I have what you need. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic The Mortar and Pestle makes potions, if you can't tell from the name. Just step up to the counter. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic I'm kind of busy, but if you need any potions or ingredients, let me know. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic I'll be over here if you need any potions or ingredients. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Hello there, can I pour you a Black-Briar Mead?

SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Welcome back to the Prawn. Let me know if you need anything. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Let me know if you see anything you like. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Take a good look around. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. If not, let me know, I might have it stored away. SolitudeFreeform02ReturnTaarie01Topic Got something for just about everybody in here. Give a holler if you have any questions. SolitudeFreeform02Taarie01Topic You're really going to the Blue Palace? That presents an opportunity. SolitudeFreeform02Taarie01Topic If you were willing to wear one of Radiant Raiment's outfits and speak to the Jarl I would not only pay you but let you keep the outfit. SolitudeFreeform02Taarie01Topic You don't need my fruit, I've heard when you sing people throw tomatoes at you anyway. SolitudeFreeform02Taarie01Topic How about I trade you a song for some fruit? SolitudeFreeform02Taarie01Topic Perhaps if I were a little more blessed I could afford to give away my fruit. As is you'll have to pay, Rorlund. SolitudeFreeform02Taarie01Topic Perhaps you could spare a tomato for a priest of the Divines? SolitudeFreeform02Taarie01Topic My mother always used to say that too. SolitudeFreeform02Taarie01Topic Fine, Ataf. You should eat some more tomatoes, though. SolitudeFreeform02Taarie01Topic Um, excuse me. Could I buy two leeks. SolitudeFreeform02Taarie02AcceptTopic Good. Here's the outfit. Try to get Elisif's opinion on it and if she likes it mention it's from Radiant Raiment. SolitudeFreeform02Taarie03RefuseTopic Look silly! As if you could look any sillier than you do now. SolitudeFreeform03Greta01Topic Thanks so much. I'll return to temple. Here's something for your time and effort. SolitudeFreeform03GretaMee02Topic Well. I wish it were that simple. SolitudeFreeform03GretaMee02Topic Maybe it is. Look, I want to go back but I won't feel right in there without a tie to Talos. SolitudeFreeform03GretaMee02Topic My brother Roggvir wore a symbol of Talos. He kept it hidden on his person. If I had that... SolitudeFreeform03GretaMee02Topic I can't go near his body. Would you get it back for me? SolitudeFreeform03GretaMeet01Topic She did, did she? She's going to get a sit down later. SolitudeFreeform03GretaMeet03Topic Why did you... nevermind, it's a sign. I'll return to temple. Here's something for your help. SolitudeFreeform03GretaMeet03Topic Thanks. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic Thanks. Papa talks about it some. Mum doesn't say much since Uncle Roggvir died. She doesn't even go to Temple anymore. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic I wish she would. At least that way she'd have people to talk to. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic You don't put up with a man like that. He puts up with you. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic I once saw Fihada put an arrow in between the eyes of a Blackblood Marauder at five hundred paces. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic How do you put up with that fop Fihada? SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic I've tasted your food, Odar. It's better than most songs I've heard. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic Sometimes I like to think my cooking is like playing the flute or singing a song. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic I don't think that was a compliment. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic You like everyone Jorn. You'll make a good court bard some day. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic I like you Una. You've got presence. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic Most of those don't happen very often. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic I'm pleased when the palace is clean, I'm pleased when the beds are made on time, I'm pleased when I Erdi isn't around. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic Your a hard woman to please Una. SolitudeFreeform03Svari01Topic I keep coming out here thinking I'll see what others see in this... frivolity. SolitudeFreeform03Svari02AcceptTopic You would do that? That's great. You should go do it right now. SolitudeFreeform03Svari03RefuseTopic Yeah, that's what papa says too. SolitudeFreeform04Accept Save me a lot of trouble. Here. Take it to the Blue Palace. SolitudeFreeform04QuestEndTopic Oh right, the rum. Thank you. I developed a taste for it after a fair weather trip to Hammerfell. SolitudeFreeform04QuestEndTopic Here, this is for you. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Jarl Elisif the Fair. Poor woman. Losing her husband and king like that. It was a dark day for us all. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Damn, that reminds me, I have a delivery to make to her steward, Falk Firebeard. He ordered a special bottle of Stros M'Kai Rum. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic We all get used, dear. It's living with it that makes you a woman. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic I was such a fool. How could I let him use me like that? SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Stop moping about, girl. Tears won't change what you've done. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Real men prove their love. Words are as empty as the air they run through. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic He said he loved me.... SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic You should be more careful with the men you pick, dear. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Up the stairs! Quickly! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Move! Up the tower! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Come on! Before the dragon brings down the whole tower! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic What are you waiting for? Up the stairs! Now! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic We need to move. Now! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Hey, kinsman. Get up! Come on, the gods won't give us another chance! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Hey, dark elf. Get up! Come on, the gods won't give us another chance! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Hey, Breton.

Come on, the gods won't give us another chance! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Hey, wood elf. Get up! Come on, the gods won't give us another chance! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Hey, Redguard. Get up! Come on, the gods won't give us another chance! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Hey, Orc. Get up! Come on, the gods won't give us another chance! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Hey, you. Get up! Come on, the gods won't give us another chance! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Now you're sounding as crazy as the cat. Be going on about the Pale Lady next. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic I've got a bad feeling about this... something's just felt wrong down there lately. Eerie. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Yeah, he's after Ra'jirr- never seen him so angry. SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic The boss went down there? Today? SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Get her! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic There she is! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic What? There's a whole shift down there! SolitudeFreeform04QuestGiveTopic Kyr's orders. Nobody goes in or out until he gets back. Or the boss will skin you soon as he's done with Ra'jirr. SolitudeFreeform04Reject Yeah, thanks. SolitudeFreeform06BribeTopic That would be acceptable. You can tell Evette San her shipment will be brought up to Solitude shortly. SolitudeFreeform06BribeTopic I'm afraid your bargaining without the metal to back it up. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic I've got a shipment of Spices the East Empire Company is holding up. I need someone to convince them to release it. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Remember, it's your job to "deliver" these songs. To excite the crowd. Draw them in and they will love you for it. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic That was better Ataf. Add a bit of emphasis on "Ragnar" and "Red." SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic All right, let's try something a bit more... fun. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Very good. Let's continue with our practice. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Ataf, please play back that piece for me. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Be sure to watch your finger positions. Especially during the transitions. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Ummm, Morrowind suffered a massive explosion... SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Vvardenfell's Red Mountain erupts. Try to be precise, Jorn. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Late One-seventy-one. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Illdi. What year did the Aldmeri Dominion invade the Empire? SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Remember, being a bard isn't just about the music. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Good, Illdi. Soak in the lore. Jorn, what happened during the Red Year? SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Get on with it. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Stormcloak lover. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Traitor! SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Traitor! SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Let's be done with it! SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic You betrayed us! SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Some gate guard you were! SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic It shouldn't have been like this. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic I think I expected more. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic Good riddance to bad rubbish I say. SolitudeFreeform06Evette1Topic He died well. SolitudeFreeform06Evette2AcceptTopic Great. Get back to me when you're done and I'll give you something for your time. SolitudeFreeform06Evette2AcceptTopic You wouldn't have a few minutes to run down to the docks would you? SolitudeFreeform06Evette3DenieTopic Ah well. I'll keep looking for someone. Thanks anyway. SolitudeFreeform06EvetteReturn1Topic Thank you so much. I swear it's a fight with them every shipment. Here's something for your troubles. SolitudeFreeform06PayTariffTopic You will? SolitudeFreeform06PayTariffTopic I mean of course you will. You can tell Evette San her shipment will be brought up to Solitude shortly. SolitudeFreeform06PersuadeTopic I suppose I could make an exception. I do like her spiced wine. SolitudeFreeform06PersuadeTopic Fine, tell Evette San her shipment will be brought up to Solitude shortly. SolitudeFreeform06PersuadeTopic That's not my problem. SolitudeFreeform06ViciTopic Ah yes. If she wants to pay the two thousand gold tariff than we'll be all set. SolitudeFreeform07ElisifAcceptTopic Thank you. It would mean a lot to me. SolitudeFreeform07ElisifExplainTopic No but my husband Torygg would want a proper burial and this is the way Nords are buried in Skyrim. SolitudeFreeform07ElisifRefuseTopic That's all right. Return to me if you change your mind though. SolitudeFreeform07ReturnElisifTopic Falk said I could count on you. SolitudeFreeform07ReturnElisifTopic You have more than earned the right to purchase property and take the next step to becoming a Thane. SolitudeFreeform07ReturnElisifTopic Speak to Falk when you have the funds. And thank you. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif1Topic There's something... personal... I was hoping you would do for me. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif1Topic We need coin, Ranmir, and you're not bringing home any. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif1Topic And you'd have me do what, join the College and prance about casting spells all day? SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif1Topic I have responsibilities to attend to. We'll continue this discussion some other time. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif1Topic That's all I ask. With your help, we have a chance to make a better life for ourselves here. For that, I thank you. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif1Topic You've seen how we live -- cramped alleys, run-down buildings, few guard patrols. Even the name "Gray Quarter" is an insult. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif1Topic You're a war hero, Brunwulf. Ulfric will listen to you. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif2Topic Falk told me what you did for us at Wolfskull cave. He says you're someone we can trust. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif2Topic As you may know Talos worship is outlawed in the Empire. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif2Topic When we buried my husband I made offerings to all the gods... except Talos. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif2Topic I would like you to take an item of his, a warhorn handed down from his father, and place it at a Shrine of Talos. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif2Topic Yes, when we buried my husband I wasn't able to make an offering to Talos. SolitudeFreeform07StartElisif2Topic I was hoping you would to take something of his, a warhorn handed down from his father, and place it at a Shrine of Talos. SolitudeFreeformGateGuardGreet If you've come to Solitude to join the Legion, speak to Rikke. If not, just keep your nose clean while you're here... or you'll end up like Roggvir. SolitudeFreeformGuardSolitudeArmy There's no greater honor than to serve. If you're serious about enlisting, speak to Legate Rikke in Castle Dour. SolitudeFreeformGuardSolitudeInfo He's the sorry bastard who's going to be executed. SolitudeFreeformGuardSolitudeInfo A gate guard who let Ulfric Stormcloak escape the city, after he killed the High King. SolitudeFreeformOpeningAddvarBlockerTopic Not right now. SolitudeFreeformOpeningAddvarBlockerTopic Very well, Roggvir. Bow your head. SolitudeFreeformOpeningBeirandBlockerTopic A traitor right up to the end. SolitudeFreeformOpeningBeirandBlockerTopic I've been waiting for Roggvir's execution. Talk to me later. SolitudeFreeformOpeningEvetteBlockerTopic Go away. SolitudeOpeningAtAfAlanBlockerTopic Can we talk later? SolitudeOpeningGretaBlockerTopic Roggvir... Why did it have to be like this? SolitudeOpeningGretaBlockerTopic That's my brother up there. SolitudeOpeningGuardStopPlayerTopic Stand back. Interrupting an execution is a serious crime. SolitudeOpeningGuardStopPlayerTopic Cut em down! SolitudeOpeningGuardStopPlayerTopic Booooo. SolitudeOpeningGuardStopPlayerTopic Booooo. SolitudeOpeningGuardStopPlayerTopic Booooo. SolitudeOpeningGuardStopPlayerTopic He doesn't deserve to speak! SolitudeOpeningGuardStopPlayerTopic Liar! SolitudeOpeningGuardStopPlayerTopic Traitor! SolitudeOpeningJalaBlockerTopic Shhhhhh... SolitudeOpeningJalaBlockerTopic Shhhhhh... SolitudeOpeningLisetteBlockerTopic That's definitely going in my part of the Edda. SolitudeOpeningLisetteBlockerTopic Sorry, I need to pay attention so I can remember this. SolitudeOpeningNosterBlockerTopic A man opens a gate and they cut his head off? Doesn't seem right to me. SolitudeOpeningSorexBlockerTopic I guess it's all over. I expected... I don't know what I expected. SolitudeOpeningSorexBlockerTopic Roggvir always talked about his honor. Seems to me honorable men don't get executed. SolitudeOpeningTaarieBlockerTopic They should have drawn it out some more. He deserved a slower death. SolitudeOpeningTaarieBlockerTopic Excuse me, I'm trying to watch a traitor to the Empire lose his head. SolitudeOpeningVivienneBlockerTopic I still can't believe he knew what he was doing when he opened that gate...

StablesAcceptTopic Then come back when you've got that much. StablesAcceptTopic That'll do. She's all saddled up for you. StablesAcceptTopic When you get it, she's yours. StablesAcceptTopic Sounds fair. She's yours. Like I said, she's all saddled. StablesAcceptTopic When you got that much, we'll talk. StablesAcceptTopic Fair enough. You can have her. She's the one with the saddle. StablesAcceptTopic Didn't think you had the coin. StablesAcceptTopic That's your best offer? I suppose so. She's the one with the saddle. StablesAcceptTopic If you had it, you'd be riding and we wouldn't be talking. StablesAcceptTopic That much? I mean, of course. If that's all you've got. StablesAcceptTopic I'd sell her for that, but you ain't got it. StablesAcceptTopic Sold. She's all yours. She's already saddled up. StablesAcceptTopic That would work, except you ain't got. StablesAcceptTopic Wish everyone haggled like you. She's all yours. StablesAcceptTopic Too bad you don't have that much. Guess you'll have to walk. StablesAcceptTopic Good enough for me. It's the one with the saddle. StablesAcceptTopic That would be a fair price. When you've got it, come see me. StablesAcceptTopic Wow! Didn't think I could get that for her. I mean, sure! StablesAcceptTopic Looks like you're a little short on coin though. Sorry. StablesBuyHorseTopic Suppose so. Got one all saddled if you've got the coin. StablesBuyHorseTopic Not today. Sold my last one. Pretty sure I sold it to you. StablesBuyHorseTopic Yeah, I got one for sale. StablesBuyHorseTopic You could if I had one. Sold my last available horse to someone that looked an awful lot like you. StablesBuyHorseTopic Got one all saddled and ready to go. What are you willing to pay? StablesBuyHorseTopic If I had one. Sold my last one to you a bit ago. StablesBuyHorseTopic Reckon you can. How much you willing to pay? StablesBuyHorseTopic Nope. Sold my last one to some stranger. StablesBuyHorseTopic It's for sale, if you've got the coin. StablesBuyHorseTopic Not right now. You bought my last one. StablesBuyHorseTopic That one with the saddle? How much are you offering? StablesBuyHorseTopic Can't help you. They're all spoken for. StablesBuyHorseTopic Don't mind if you do. What's your price? StablesBuyHorseTopic If I had one you could. They're all spoken for. StablesBuyHorseTopic I've got one all saddled up for you! What do you figure she's worth? StablesBuyHorseTopic Wish I did, but some outlander bought my last one. StablesBuyHorseTopic That's what I'm here for. What are you offering? StablesBuyHorseTopic Don't have any that are for sale right now. StablesBuyHorseTopic Yes! Yes, you can. She's all saddled up and everything. StablesBuyHorseTopic Not today. You should have come by earlier. Wait, didn't I sell me last one to you? StablesRejectTopic Suit yourself. StablesRejectTopic Don't blame me if your feet get sore. StablesRejectTopic Then stop wastin' my time. StablesRejectTopic Off with ya then. I've got work to do. StablesRejectTopic Didn't think you had the coin for it anyway. StablesRejectTopic Then off with ya. I've got better things to do. StablesRejectTopic Should have known you'd be a cheap one. StablesRejectTopic Then what are you wasting my time for? StablesRejectTopic Walkin' never hurt nobody. If you change your mind, I'll be here. StablesRejectTopic Oh. Was it something I said? I can't afford to lower the price, but come back if you change your mind. stalleoGiveQuestTopic Finally, reinforcements have arrived. stalleoGiveQuestTopic I was expecting more though, you'd better be good. T01DegaineAtFinishTopic Give it to me quickly, before they see us together. You've riled up the priestesses, and the guards don't take kindly to that. T01DegaineAtFinishTopic Here's your share. Nicely done. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic What is there to know? It's in the temple, you bring it out. You bring it to me, I pay you. Now get moving. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Fine. Let's get this over with. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Here we go. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic One moment. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic We're here to arrange a temporary truce to allow the Dragonborn here to deal with the dragons. Nothing more. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Enough posturing, Tullius. If you came to talk, let's get on with it. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic We have no need to negotiate when the rebels are so clearly losing the war. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic I have no authority to negotiate a permanent settlement, unless Ulfric is ready to sue for peace and turn himself over to Imperial justice. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic I just want to make clear that the only reason I agreed to attend this council was to deal with the dragon menace. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Damn right we do. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Don't play dumb, Tullius! T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Tell him, Ulfric. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Very well. You may enter. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic The matter at hand is urgent. Alduin must be stopped. You wouldn't have called this council if you didn't agree. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic We know a great deal about the situation and the threat that Alduin poses to us all. You need us here if you want this council to succeed. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Delphine, we're not here to rehearse old grudges. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic She did what had to be done. It was long overdue. My only regret is that I wasn't able to kill him myself. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic He did what had to be done. It was long overdue. My only regret is that I wasn't able to kill him myself. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic For now. The Blades' memory is long, as you know. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic If it were up to you, the Dragonborn would sit dreaming on this mountain doing nothing! T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic I know what path you set her on. And now Paarthurnax's wisdom is lost to us, just when we need it most. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic I know what path you set him on. And now Paarthurnax's wisdom is lost to us, just when we need it most. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic We know what path you've set her on. But she has made a different choice. Paarthurnax is still safe from your malice. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic We know what path you've set him on. But he has made a different choice. Paarthurnax is still safe from your malice. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Were you? The hubris of the Blades truly knows no bounds. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic We have as much right to be at this council as all of you. More, actually, since we were the ones that put the Dragonborn on this path. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic You were not invited here. You are not welcome here. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic So. Arngeir, is it? You know why we're here. Are you going to let us in or not? T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic The Order shall rise. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Yeah, fie! T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Fie! T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Grant us this power so that in your name we may vanquish our enemies. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic Fie. We beseech you. Darken this gem so that we may use its power to restore The Order of the Black Worm. T01DegaineDuringOpeningBranchTopic You can't just leave me here! T01EnmonComeWithMe Thank you, friend. T01EnmonGivesLocation It was the Forsworn from Broken Tower. Never been much trouble before. What's it to you? T01EnmonHearsAboutSybil She... really? That's... I wouldn't have dreamed. Of course, we need her in Markarth, then. I'll come with you. T01EnmonLookShesBackForASecondAnywayTopic Fjotra! T01EnmonStayBehind You're... probably right. Just hurry, please. Who knows what those things are doing to her. T01EnmonSybilBranchTopic Damn it, man, are you trying to taunt us? T01EnmonSybilBranchTopic Damn it, woman, are you trying to taunt us? T01EnmonSybilBranchTopic Oh, I... I'm sorry. I just can't... you'll have to speak to my husband. T01EnmonSybilBranchTopic Oh, my. You'll want to talk to Enmon about that. T01EnmonSybilBranchTopic I thought Enmon and Mean had a little girl, but I haven't seen her in a while. T01EnmonSybilBranchTopic I think you might be looking for Enmon. T01EnmonSybilBranchTopic And what's that have to do with me? T01EnmonSybilBranchTopic Yeah, we're all looking for something. T01EnmonTellsAboutKidnapping Our daughter, Fjotra, was taken from here. The Forsworn descended and... they didn't touch anything else. Just our little girl. T01EnmonWantsHerToBeSafe That's... that's good of you. If you were to save her, I would be very grateful. I don't think there's anything I could give you, though... T01FjotraMeetingPlayerBranchTopic Please, open the door. I need to get out of here. T01FjotraMeetingPlayerBranchTopic Are you one of them? Please don't hurt me. T01FjotraMeetingPlayerBranchTopic Good luck finding the fragments. T01FjotraMeetingPlayerBranchTopic I'll just be tending the museum if you need me. T01FjotraTakeToMarkarth Then it is true what they said? I am touched by the gods? T01FjotraWillBeTheSybil I've heard stories about the wonders of the great Temple in Markarth. T01FjotraWillBeTheSybil But I never dreamed that I would even get to see it. T01FjotraWillBeTheSybil I am honored to be called for this duty. Please, lead on. T01HamalConclusionBranchTopic You... you found her? I can't believe it. Let the girl come with me and we can begin her preparation. T01HamalConclusionBranchTopic I will send word to her family that she is in good hands. T01HamalConclusionBranchTopic You've truly earned the Blessing of Dibella, child. Prostrate yourself before her altar, and she will bestow her gift. T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic You just can't leave well enough alone, can you? T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic And just what do you think you're doing? T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic Quiet down. T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic Stop your whining. T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic She said you stay in there, and that's final. T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic I'll give you something to cry about if you don't quiet down. T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic Really, I think there's been a mistake. T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic May I just speak with her, please, to clear all this up? T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic Just let me out of here. I only wanted to help you! T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic Okay, now can you let me out? Please? I won't tell anyone it was you. T01HamalConfrontBranchTopic Just open the cage, and I'll leave quietly. Won't make a sound, won't bother you at all. T01HamalConfrontMeanOption Indeed it is. T01HamalConfrontMeanOption There are many valuable artifacts all through the temple. T01HamalConfrontNiceOption Unfortunately for you, we don't allow men into the inner sanctum. T01HamalConfrontNiceOption Unfortunately for you, we don't allow the uninitiated into the inner sanctum. T01HamalGirlTakenBranchTopic It's considered a great honor for the family. Their daughter will never know hardship, and the goddess blesses them with great bounty. T01HamalIGuessIllHelp We believe the place in our vision to be Karthwasten. T01HamalIGuessIllHelp Now move quickly. The girl must be brought to the temple as soon as possible. T01HamalMakesAnotherOffer Luckily for you, there are more pressing matters. We could make an example of you, but perhaps you could be put to better use. T01HamalPayThePrice You have committed a breach, and must pay the penalty. T01HamalScrewYou So be it. We gave you a choice. T01HamalScrewYou So be it. We gave you a choice. T01HamalSoWhatsThePrice Normally, a quick death. T01HamalSoWhatsThePrice Normally, a period of servitude. T01HamalWhatDoYouHaveInMind The ceremony you so rudely interrupted was the Exalted Protocol of the Dibellan Sybil. T01HamalWhatDoYouHaveInMind I don't expect you to know what that means. T01HamalWhatDoYouHaveInMind Suffice to say that our Sybil was recently lost to us. T01HamalWhatDoYouHaveInMind Through the Protocol, we have seen the home of the next Sybil, to the north, in a small village pressed against the stone. T01HamalWhatDoYouHaveInMind If you can travel there, and retrieve our young Sybil, your transgression will be forgiven. T01HamalWhatsASybilBranchTopic The Sybil of Dibella spends her entire life in direct communion with the goddess. T01HamalWhatsASybilBranchTopic From the time she's a little girl to the moment she expires, she is a direct connection with the heavenly mother. T01HamalWhatsASybilBranchTopic From her reverie, we know the mind of our god. T01HamalWhatsASybilBranchTopic We have had a vision of the next Sybil, living in a village to the north. She must be brought to the temple for her reverie to begin. T01HamalWhatsInItForMeBranchTopic You, my dear, can earn the Blessing of Dibella. You'll find men to be more pliable in the future... or more vulnerable. T01HamalWhatsInItForMeBranchTopic Have you heard of the Blessing of Dibella? It can help you with the wooing of women, if that's your aim. T01HamalWhatsInItForMeBranchTopic Or give you strength if you happen to offend one. T01HamalWhatsInItForMeBranchTopic Typically we avoid bestowing it upon men, but for the Sybil's escort, we could make an exception. T01HamalWhySecretBranchTopic We prefer not to announce that the Sybil has died until we can introduce the new one. People like to know that we're connected to the goddess. T01Hellos I hope we reach Markarth soon. T01Hellos I can't wait to learn from the priestesses. T01Hellos Please, let's hurry to the Temple before the Forsworn find me again. T01Hellos I hope Fjotra is happy in the temple. We're so honored to have given her. T01Hellos Thank you for getting her back from the Forsworn. Dibella was smart to have sent you. T01Hellos Let's get to the Forsworn camp. Her life could be in danger. T01Hellos I swear, if those things have laid a hand on her... T01Hellos Let's find Fjotra. This place gives me the creeps. T01Hellos How could they live like this? It's disgusting. T01Hellos I'm sorry, the Temple of Dibella is closed. You can receive your blessing, if you wish, but the other sisters are in seclusion. T01InnkeeperDegainePointerBranchTopic Degaine the beggar got himself kicked out the Temple of Dibella. Caused quite the ruckus. T01PriestessBustedPlayerBranchTopic What are you doing in here? T01PriestessBustedPlayerBranchTopic Stay where you are. The mother will deal with you. T01PriestessBustedPlayerBranchTopic Tell me as soon as you've given Camilla the letter. T01PriestessBustedPlayerBranchTopic That letter ought to convince Camilla to never speak to Faendal ever again. T01PriestessBustedPlayerBranchTopic Faendal thinks he can woo Camilla Valerius away from me. She's already mine, I keep telling him. T01SennaKickPlayerOutTopic The sisters are communing with Dibella. They can't be disturbed. T01SennaKickPlayerOutTopic You'll have to come back another time. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Aye, a whole heap of it. You see that Temple? Way up there? T01StartingProdFromDegaine All them women, keeping to themselves. Won't let poor Degaine in, no. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Not even for a look. T01StartingProdFromDegaine But they've got a treasure in there. Gold statue, size of a child. Who knows what they use it for, but I know what I'll use it for. T01StartingProdFromDegaine There's no way out that way, you know... T01StartingProdFromDegaine Grab what you can, and let's go. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Forget the old man. I'll come with you. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Didn't you hear me? I said the keep is under attack! T01StartingProdFromDegaine You have no authority over me, boy. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Come with us. We need to get out of here. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Although, come to think of it, I did hear some odd noises coming from over there. T01StartingProdFromDegaine A dragon? Please. Don't make up nonsense. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Don't you even know what's going on? A dragon is attacking Helgen! T01StartingProdFromDegaine You fellows happened along just in time. These boys seemed a bit upset at how I've been entertaining their comrades. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Come on! T01StartingProdFromDegaine Hear that? T01StartingProdFromDegaine An old storeroom. See if you can find some potions. Might come in handy. T01StartingProdFromDegaine An old storeroom. Grab anything you can, but let's keep moving. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Damn, that dragon doesn't give up easy. T01StartingProdFromDegaine Look out! T01StartingProdFromDegaine Hold on, now, we only want to... T01WhosTheMommy Here she is. T01YeahRightTryIt If that's how you choose to end your life, so be it. T02AcolyteComeBackLater They should be back shortly. You're welcome to wait here if you like. T02AcolyteComeBackLaterBranchTopic This temple is dedicated to Mara, and the light of love she shines on us all. T02AcolyteComeBackLaterBranchTopic I'm only a humble acolyte, though. If you wish to avail yourself of Mara's blessing, you should speak with Dinya Balu or Maramal. T02AcolyteComeBackLaterBranchTopic Get yourself kitted out with what you need. Welcome to the fight, brother! T02BassianusBotiSurprise I always had a feeling she liked me. More than that brute Jofthor, at least. T02BassianusBotiSurprise Jofthor... what about him? He'll come after us and... it will be unpleasant. T02BassianusBotiSurprise Oh, and to be with you! T02BassianusBotiSurprise To Riften, my pet. How you'll adore the city. T02BassianusBotiSurprise Where will we go? T02BassianusBotiSurprise We must leave. Your father will never approve of us, and I grow weary of this place. T02BassianusBotiSurprise Bassianus, sweetie, what is it? T02BassianusBotiSurprise Fastred, we must speak. T02BassianusBotiSurprise Oh, Klimmek... T02BassianusBotiSurprise What good are fish if you have to eat them alone? T02BassianusBotiSurprise But I thought you only cared about your fishing! T02BassianusBotiSurprise Because... I would miss you. T02BassianusBotiSurprise Why not? T02BassianusBotiSurprise I don't want you to leave Ivarstead. T02BassianusBotiSurprise Klimmek? What is it? T02BassianusBotiSurprise Fastred, I have something to say to you. T02BassianusExit As do I. It's a puzzling situation. T02BassianusGetToHer She would? If she's willing to deal with him, then everything would be all right. T02BassianusGetToHer I'll... I'll go speak to Fastred. Post-haste! T02BassianusPushTopic Oh, my love. How I long to take her away from all of this. T02BassianusPushTopic Why did Boti send you to me? T02BotiBackstoryBranchTopic Oh my. Probably something about the men. We all wish we had her problems. T02BotiBackstoryBranchTopic Now, don't tell my husband, but I don't have any problem with Bassianus. T02BotiBackstoryBranchTopic Even if it means her leaving Ivarstead, I want Fastred to be happy. T02BotiBackstoryBranchTopic If they just snuck out of town together, I could manage my husband. T02BotiBassianusPush Bassianus is still so terrified of Jofthor. T02BotiBassianusPush If he knew that I'd keep him from hunting the poor boy down, he'd take Fastred to Riften without a second thought. T02BotiBassianusPush Let him know that I'll watch out for them. I just want my daughter to be happy. T02BotiBassianusPush I'll see if I can't get some work done inside, where it's warm. T02BotiBassianusPush That's nice, son. Just don't stomp on the crop like last time! T02BotiBassianusPush I'm gonna go play soldier with a tree! T02BotiBassianusPush It's too cold for my bones, but that never seems to stop you, dear. T02BotiBassianusPush Another gorgeous gray day, right dear? T02BotiBassianusPush Guess we can't afford to miss that much work, can we? Oh well... T02BotiBassianusPush True enough, you cur. Back to work, I suppose... T02BotiBassianusPush Hjorunn, the last time you tried anything, your fist broke on my head! T02BotiBassianusPush Just as long as you don't breathe on me, Hjorunn. I'll be out for hours. T02BotiBassianusPush What did you say? I ought to break off one of those tusks and use it as my drinking horn! T02BotiBassianusPush Don't make me to defend the honor of my mead! It's been my friend a lot longer than you have! T02BotiBassianusPush I have to work twice as hard because you drink up all our profits. T02BotiBassianusPush Can you pay attention to work for once, instead of your mug? T02BotiBassianusPush Kharag, take a break and drink with me! Those trees aren't going anywhere! T02BotiBassianusPush Why so glum, my ugly friend? Did we run out of mead? T02CalcelmoGivingLetterBranchTopic This is... more than I could have hoped for. Have you really done this for me? T02CalcelmoGivingLetterBranchTopic I have to see her. Please, excuse me. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic I was beginning to lose faith that any help would come. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Eh... You see... I've been thinking about Faleen quite a bit. You know Faleen? T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Oh Listener. Can't you see that's impossible? T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Sorry, Listener. It can't be done. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic If only I could, Listener. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic (whine) T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Can't do that. Sorry. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Not possible. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic That can't be done. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Can't do it. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic No. Not possible. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic I'm sorry, that can't be done. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic It shall be done. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Of course. Right away. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic With pleasure, my Listener! T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic (woof!) T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Okay, got it. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic It will be done. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic As you say, it will happen. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Then that is my task. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Will do. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic No problem, I'll handle it. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Command me, my Listener. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Anything you need, Listener. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Oh yes, Listener! T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic (bark) T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic What do you need? T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic What is it? T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic What do you want? T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Show me. T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic What? T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Yes, my Thane? T02CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Did you need something? T02CalcelmoNeedsACyrano There is one... Yngvar. He's quite popular with the ladies. T02CalcelmoNeedsACyrano Thankfully Faleen is not quite his type, but they've been friends for some time, and he may have some ideas. T02CalcelmoNeedsACyrano Please, ask him what she likes. It's my only chance. T02CalcelmoNeedsCommonInterests That's the trouble. I know Faleen from the Keep, but I have no idea what sorts of things she likes. T02CalcelmoNeedsCommonInterests It's not a simple matter. I could offend her fairly easily by bringing up the wrong subject. I've seen it happen before. T02CalcelmoNeedsToManUp That may be the case. T02CalcelmoNeedsToManUp But she is as volatile as a sabre cat. One wrong word, and I've seen her turn on a man so quickly... T02CalcelmoPlayerDoesntKnowFaleen Well, suffice to say she is resplendent, but not without resolve. Striking, in all senses. T02CalcelmoPlayerKnowsFaleen Then you know what a beauty she is. T02CalcelmoRavesAboutFaleen The trouble is that I can't seem to speak around her. T02CalcelmoRavesAboutFaleen My mouth goes dry, and I start to shake. T02CalcelmoRavesAboutFaleen I could never hope to approach her. T02DinyaAcceptQuest The dawn surely opens upon you, child. You must bear its light that all may see. T02DinyaAcceptQuest Mara has reflected an image to me. At the foot of the throat and young woman... almost a girl... her fickle love must resolve itself. T02DinyaAcceptQuest The village of Ivarstead. The woman, Fastred. T02DinyaAcceptQuest This is the prayer heard by the goddess and relayed to her servants. Return when she has seen her path. T02DinyaAcceptQuest I will entreat Mara on your behalf. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Your efforts have helped illuminate the entire province. I trust by now you've achieved a higher comprehension of love. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Carry the blessings of Mara with you, so the rest of the province may shine with her glories. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Now wait a minute, Listener. Even Cicero has his limits! Not many, mind you... but I do have them... T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic I won't do it. You ask too much. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic But Listener... Are you sure? I just can't bring myself to do it... T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic (growl) T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Not for you. Not for anyone. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Even Khajiit have their limits. No. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Maybe you want to rethink what you're asking? T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic I will not drag my honor through the mud for you, or anyone. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Forget it. I don't do that kind of work. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do something like that. Even for you. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Nothing else? I'm always eager. T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic That everything? T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Is that all? T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic (panting) T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Anything else? T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Is that all? T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Do you need anything else? T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic We done? T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic That it? T02DinyaFinishQuestTopic Anything else before you go? T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic How wonderful. Like the sea, their love roils and swells, but brings life and nourishment to all. T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic It doesn't matter. I'm here. We're together now. And we will be forever. T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic I'm so confused. What's happening? T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic But that battle isn't expected until tomorrow... Ruki, what's going on? T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic I had heard that Gjukar's men were wiped out. I came to find you. T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic Of course I am. What brings you here? T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic Fenrig! You're alive! T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic Is Ulfric's armor done yet? T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic Exactly. T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic Oh, right. That makes sense. Kind of a messy metal, anyway. T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic Don't even bother with that one. Leave it to the orcs. T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic I think I've got a handle on it, but Orichalcum is confusing. T02DinyaGiveMarkarthSegmentBranchTopic Have you been learning your ores? T02DinyaGiveQuestPhaseTwoTopic The goddess smiles at your efforts, child. The dawn shines bright upon you. T02DinyaGiveQuestPhaseTwoTopic You have seen the young, fickle love of youth, and helped a more seasoned love find its way. T02DinyaGiveQuestPhaseTwoTopic There is one final aspect we wish for you to explore. For a strong love can withstand storms and even survive death. T02DinyaGiveQuestPhaseTwoTopic Take this symbol of Mara. She will guide you to the wandering souls of two whose love was so great that their entwinement binds them to this world. T02DinyaHowToGetBlessing Not all can hear the broad echoes of deepest dawn. T02DinyaHowToGetBlessing To receive the touch of Mara, you must first act as her hands in the world. T02DinyaHowToGetBlessing Explore the facets of the infinite jewel. T02DinyaNahNotForMe Do not forsake your heart, child, for it may one day come to surprise you. T02DinyaNahNotForMe Mara will always accept into her arms should you seek return to her fold. T02DinyaNahNotForMe Have it your way. I'll take the job, but don't expect a miracle. T02DinyaNahNotForMe Ha! I'd sooner bend my knee to Ulfric Stormcloak. T02DinyaNahNotForMe Besides, Gray-Mane would never make steel for the Legion. T02DinyaNahNotForMe I just can't fill an order that size on my own. T02DinyaNahNotForMe Why don't you swallow that stubborn pride of yours and ask Eorlund Gray-Mane for help? T02DinyaNahNotForMe We'll pay whatever it takes. But we must have more swords for the Imperial soldiers. T02DinyaNextStep I see you are eager to carry the light. T02DinyaNextStep As you venture, Mara fills my mind ever more with visions of love in peril. T02DinyaNextStep Embers lie nestled in stone, needing only fuel to bloom to a flame that will warm all around them. T02DinyaNextStep Go to Markarth. There you'll find Calcelmo, wise, acid, and reclusive. Help him to emerge and state his intentions. T02DinyaNextStep This is the prayer heard by the goddess and relayed to her servants. T02DinyaNextStep Out of my sight! T02DinyaNextStep No... I was trying to... T02DinyaNextStep What? You've been lollygagging in idle reading? T02DinyaNextStep Erm... no. Not yet. I'm sorry, I was reading up on the effects of distillation. T02DinyaNextStep Don't be so sure. Now, have you finished grinding the dried snowberries? T02DinyaNextStep I know, master. Don't say such things -- there is always time. T02DinyaNextStep I'm sorry to always be so hard on you, boy. I just worry I don't have much time left. T02DinyaNextStep Yes, master. I'm sorry, I'll get back to those notes straight away. T02DinyaNextStep You can waste your own time, not mine. An apprentice obeys his master. A good one does, at least. T02DinyaNextStep Yes, master, I know. I just want to keep up my own projects as well. T02DinyaNextStep When I ask you for something, I expect it to get done. T02DinyaNextStep Yes, and I'm working on it, but I'm also trying to... T02DinyaNextStep Damn it, child, didn't I tell you to gather my notes on sub-material properties? T02DinyaNextStep Master, I have a question about infusions of arrowroot. T02DinyaNextStep Don't waste time apologizing, just find the book! T02DinyaNextStep I... I apologize, master. T02DinyaNextStep Confound it, boy, I know what I'm doing. It will help me determine the season of his burial, which I can cross-reference. T02DinyaNextStep Did they really record the star positions from Curalmil's tomb? There's no way it's that precise. T02DinyaNextStep Quintus, could you fetch me a copy of The Firmament? I need to compare the old star charts to today's. T02DinyaQuestOfferingTopic Always, child. Mara's mercy is ever-flowing. T02DinyaQuestStartTopic We are devoted to the Goddess Mara, who gave mortals the gift of love that they might have a hint of eternity. T02DinyaQuestStartTopic Her blessings are many. To love is to know the true nature of the gods. T02DinyaReadyFreddy Are you prepared, then, to help bring the light across this land? T02FaleenDoYouLikeLikeHim Think of him? He's an odd little man. Always poking around the ruins and wasting time in his museum. T02FaleenDoYouLikeLikeHim Seems friendly enough. Obviously intelligent. Why do you ask? T02FaleenGiveLetter Clearly. I've never even thought of him in that manner. I wish that I was as skilled with words as he. T02FaleenGiveLetter Here, take him this letter. I may not be as eloquent as he is, but I hope he understands. T02FaleenGivePoemTopic Pardon me? T02FaleenIWasJustJoshin Of course you were. Now stop wasting my time. T02FaleenNoItsTrue Please, stop wasting my time. You're embarrassing yourself. T02FaleenOhNothingAtAll Well aren't you a strange one. T02FaleenPlayerTriesToSpillTheBeans What? You're out of your mind. That old coot's more interested in dead dwarves than anybody around here. T02FaleenPlayerTriesToSpillTheBeans Don't talk such rot. T02FaleenPoemIsFromCalcelmo I'm not sure what this is all about. T02FaleenPoemIsFromCalcelmo So I hear. Come here, you. T02FaleenPoemIsFromCalcelmo I love you. T02FaleenPoemIsFromCalcelmo Sssh. It's all right. You don't need to say anymore. I had no idea you were so... nuanced. T02FaleenPoemIsFromCalcelmo Faleen... I... T02FaleenPoemReaction This is... lovely. Calcelmo wrote this... about me? I never knew he had such feeling in him. T02FaleenTellMeAboutCalcelmoTopic Calcelmo? What about him? T02FastredCheckingInTopic Have you spoken to my parents yet? Please, my love depends on it! T02FastredGetItTogether I don't want to choose! They're both so amazing. T02FastredQuestEnd Oh, thank you so much! It's wonderful to have someone around who understands. T02FastredQuestStartTopic Are you the one sent by Mara? T02FastredStory My parents are being impossible. T02FastredStory Bassianus wants to marry me. And I think I love him. But he wants to move to Riften afterwards, and my father won't allow it. T02FastredStory He only cares about this stupid town, but Bassianus makes me happier than anyone ever has. T02FastredStory My mother's not any help, either. T02FastredWho I prayed to Mara and she spoke to me in a dream. She said a stranger would appear to help me. T02FastredWho Is that you? T02FenrigIntroBranchTopic Ruki? Where is she? T02FenrigTakeToHuki If she's come this far from home, it must be important. Lead on. I just need to report back to camp by sunrise. T02FenrigTellsAboutCamp Our fires are visible for miles. We're in a low valley. Sitting ducks. T02FenrigTellsWhatHappened We're expected to fight there tomorrow. Gjukar elected to camp here for the night. I don't like it, though. T02Goodbyes May you carry the warmth of Mara to all corners of the frozen wastes. T02Goodbyes The dawn surely opens upon you, child. You must bear its light that all may see. T02JofthorBackstoryTopic I'm sure I know what this is about. T02JofthorBackstoryTopic She thinks she's in love with Bassianus and wants to leave town. With him. T02JofthorBackstoryTopic Let me tell you how I see it. T02JofthorBackstoryTopic Until a few months ago, the girl was head over heels for Klimmek. Wouldn't stop talking about him. T02JofthorBackstoryTopic Now if I thought she was really in love with Bassianus, that would be one thing. But she's a child. T02JofthorBackstoryTopic It will pass. T02JofthorWhyImportant You know how children are. Her fancies change with the moon. T02JofthorWhyImportant And like always, the boy lacks any kind of spine. He'll need some convincing. T02JofthorWhyImportant A little push and this would all be simpler. T02KlimmekDoIt What did you call me? T02KlimmekExit I guess not. T02KlimmekInsult Wait... you mean I should just... tell her? Tell her how I feel? T02KlimmekNothingToLose Ysmir's beard, you're right! No fish was ever caught by staying away from the shore. I'm off to see her! T02KlimmekPushItFurther If that's what she wants, then that's what she'll get. T02KlimmekPushTopic Oh, Fastred. I'm not sure what happened. One moment she's smiling at me, the next I can't even meet her eyes. T02KlimmekPushTopic I'll bet Bassianus would know what's going on. He understands women. T02RukiBlowOffContinuation He must be here somewhere... T02RukiDismissPlayerBranchTopic Come, help me search for Fenrig. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic This has all been foreseen, and we must play our parts. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic No, I really don't. It'll be a while before I'm ready for that. I'll be on my way now. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Well, if it works in the one case, why not the other? Don't you want to at least give it a try? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I didn't lose a lover, Viola, I lost my wife. It's not the same thing. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic It was an old Nord proverb. It said, the best way to get over the loss of a lover is to find a new one. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic What did you hear? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I'm searching for my Fenrig. He was marching with Gjukar's men, who they say were wiped out here. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Hello, captain! Can you spare a moment? I heard something the other day that I wanted to share with you. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I've turned over every body, though, and I can't find him. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I'm sure the guards have the matter well in hand. Now, if you'll excuse me. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Please help me look. He has a bright red beard and hair. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic You wouldn't think it from the racket that Cornerclub makes. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Well one of us has to do something! T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Viola, dark elves sleep just like the rest of us. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Twilight guide your path. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Do you think those dark elves had anything to do with the murders? The attacks all happened at night, after all. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic May Azura's magic protect you. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Yes, I think that must be it. My wife hasn't been gone that long, after all. Ask me again on another day. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Oh, I see. Is it still too soon? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I've thought about it, but I'm not sure it's such a good idea. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Have you thought about my invitation? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic And now you've found me. Can I help you? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Captain Lonely-Gale! I've been looking for you everywhere! T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I... well. Perhaps. But still! It's curious. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Don't you think all your tramping around there investigating might have something to do with it? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Did you notice that the snow settles in a different direction near the murder sites? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic What is it now, Viola? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Captain, captain! T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Oh... yes. Now that you mention it, I think... sorry about that. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Did you look behind the forge? I think I saw it there. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Hammers don't have legs. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I didn't touch it! T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Blast, girl, I told you to leave my tools alone. You have yours and I have mine. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic No. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Did you use my good hammer? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic This is the royal armor, lass. Maybe in a few years. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I did that engraved piece just last month! T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic This is more delicate work than you're used to. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Can I help with it? Maybe just the cuirass? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic No, I want to take my time with it. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Come to gawk at the Dark Elf? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Well look at us. Like two gray specks in the snow. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I mean no offense. I am but a humble farmer. Not a... a great wanderer, like you. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic If you beat up my sister Sissel, I won't tell. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Are you new around here? You should go to the inn if you need a place to stay. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Sissel thinks she's so special. No way she's more special than me. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I'm the older sister, by nearly five minutes. Sissel's barely worthy to walk in my shadow. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I wish I could be an adventurer like you, and go wherever I want. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I had a dream that there was a good dragon. He was old and gray, but he wasn't scary. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Most days, I do all I can to stay away from my sister and my father. The beating's the same from either one. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Some day soon I'll stop being afraid. Jouane is teaching me magic. He says I'm real good. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Do yourself a favor and don't have children. They're good for nothing at all. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I got enough troubles, so don't go adding to them. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I spend every day tending the fields, and what do my daughters do? Nothing! Complain and caterwaul! Sleep and eat! Useless! T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Curse my good-for-nothing daughters! My wife was twice the woman they'll ever grow to be. She gave her life birthing them. What a waste. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Did you have any luck talking to my father? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I hope you can change my father's mind. He can be a little stubborn. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic You look like you've seen your share of adventure. I envy you that. In fact, maybe you can help me with something. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic My father, Mralki, manages the inn. He used to be a soldier, but he left that life behind. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic If you need a meal or a room, I've got both. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I only take real coin here, no handouts and no bartering. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic That fool son of mine, Erik, wants to be an adventurer. He a good-natured lad, but he's got no idea how dangerous the world really is. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Some folk here will tell you I'm sheltering my boy too much, but I ask you, isn't it a father's duty to keep his children safe? T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Name's Ennis. If you've got friends who do business in Whiterun, they might know me. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic You talk to Reldith yet? She's like a mother to me. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic You here from the city? I visit Whiterun from time to time, mostly to make deals. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Reldith is the hardest-working farmer in Rorikstead, but I'm the one with a head for business. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Did you see those guards? Get out of line, and you'll have them to deal with. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic We're honest, hardworking folk here, and we don't suffer beggars or thieves. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic City folk might look down on us, but what's wrong with farming? Everything we've got, we had to earn with our own sweat. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic You look like the adventurous sort. You should talk to Erik, the innkeeper's son. He could use your help. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic If you've got some business in Rorikstead, you should start by speaking to Jouane. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but Jouane's the one who deals with people. I'm afraid I lost my charm years ago. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic No offense intended, but I don't think we have anything to talk about. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I was a different man, once -- strong, commanding, ah, and young. But the Great War was a long time ago. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic If you're thinking of setting up to farm, you picked the right place. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Peace and prosperity are all the good folk of Rorikstead want in life. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic I'm sure it's hard to believe, but I was once a bold adventurer like you, ready to face any danger. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Have you spoken to Erik? His father won't let him go out and seek his fortune in the world. Maybe you can help. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Do enjoy your time in Rorikstead. This close to the Reach, well, we are truly blessed to have such fertile ground. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic You there! Wait a moment. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Not sure, let's watch and find out. T02RukiGreetingBranchTopic Is that the murderer? T02RukiMocksPlayerTopic Are you a fool? Look at the bodies around you. Even if you're blind, surely you smell the blood. T02RukiNoBodies I don't have time for your foolishness. Either help me or be gone. T02YngvarAdviceBranchTopic Are you prepared to receive my golden words? T02YngvarAdviceStartBranchTopic What? Why, are you... interested? T02YngvarGossipGossipGossip Calcelmo? Is he interested in Faleen? That sly old codger. I should have guessed. T02YngvarGossipGossipGossip Good for him. For the both of them. T02YngvarGossipGossipGossip Between you and me, she could use a bit of warmth. T02YngvarManyManyMonies Wonderful. I'll write it out so you won't forget it. T02YngvarManyManyMonies Hmmm. I don't think you've got enough to cover my expenses with Silver-Bloods, much less convince me give my words away. T02YngvarMovingOn As for what she might like... T02YngvarMovingOn I didn't tell you this. Faleen likes to act tough, but she really has a soft spot for, of all things, poetry. T02YngvarMovingOn You know, I took some classes at the Bards College as a youth. Poems come in handy when wooing. T02YngvarMovingOn There's a poem I once used on an older lady of Rorikstead. I can change it to be about Faleen, if you've got some gold. T02YngvarNoneOfYourBeeswax Ah, a secret admirer, eh? Don't worry, I won't tell a soul. T02YngvarNotEnoughMonies Come back when you've got the gold, then. T02YngvarPoemGiving You should probably just take this directly to Faleen. Wouldn't want the old icebrain stumbling over the words. T02YngvarPoemGiving You should probably just let Faleen read it herself. Don't want you stumbling over the words and ruining my flow. T03CombatLines For Kynareth! T03CombatLines Scourge of nature! T03DanicaEldergleamInfoAfterIntroTopic It's an old tree. Very old. They say it was a seedling when the first men were arriving from Atmora, thousands of years ago. T03DanicaEldergleamInfoAfterIntroTopic The sap is precious. It can restore barren fields or bring life to rocks. I can use it to repair the Gildergreen, so we can worship properly again. T03DanicaGiveMeTheKnife You'll have to deal with the Hagravens. I've heard about a weapon they've made for sacrificing Spriggans. T03DanicaGiveMeTheKnife It's called "Nettlebane." The hags terrify me, or I would have gone after it myself. T03DanicaGotNettlebaneTopic Oh. I... well, I honestly didn't expect you to come back. Of course, I'm glad you did! T03DanicaGotNettlebaneTopic Now... I don't really want to touch that thing, though. Do you think you could handle the next steps? T03DanicaGotSapTopic Wonderful. I'll use it to repair the tree. Thank you so much for all your help. T03DanicaGotSapTopic But... I can't run the Temple without the support of people who are inspired by the Gildergreen. How can this little tree bring new worshippers? T03DanicaImOnIt Your spirit is strong. Kynareth's winds will guide your path. T03DanicaImOnIt It's held in a Hagraven nest called Orphan Rock. T03DanicaIntroTempleInfoTopic The Gildergreen, yes. It's a bit of an eyesore at the moment. More of a problem for the pilgrims than for me, but not many of them around anymore. T03DanicaIntroTempleInfoTopic This is the Temple of Kynareth. The Gildergreen, outside, was planted as a seedling in the early years of Whiterun. T03DanicaIntroTempleInfoTopic Disciples of Kynareth could sense something holy in it, and traveled far to hear the winds of the goddess in its branches. T03DanicaIntroTempleInfoTopic Of course, not as many pilgrims these days. T03DanicaIntroTempleInfoTopic This is the Gildergreen. It was planted as a seedling in the early years of Whiterun. T03DanicaIntroTempleInfoTopic Disciples of Kynareth could sense something holy in it, and traveled far to hear the winds of the goddess in its branches. They built the temple. T03DanicaIntroTempleInfoTopic Of course, not as many pilgrims these days. T03DanicaNeedHelpWithTree I've thought about that... Trees like this never really die. They only slumber. T03DanicaNeedHelpWithTree I think if we had some of the sap from the parent tree, we could wake up its child. T03DanicaNeedHelpWithTree But even if you could get to the Eldergleam, you couldn't tap it. Not with any normal metal. T03DanicaNotMyProblem You're right. It's mine. T03DanicaNotMyProblem I may not live to see this little one grow into a new Gildergreen, but I can be remembered as the woman who planted it. T03DanicaNotMyProblem I thank you. And may Kynareth's soft rains fall before you. T03DanicaQuestRunningTellMoreNettlebaneTopic The hags are hateful of anything which grows from the earth. They made the weapon strong against the natural world. T03DanicaQuestRunningTellMoreNettlebaneTopic It's the only thing I've even heard of that could cut Eldergleam. Stick it in, give it a twist, and the stuff will just flow out. T03DanicaQuestRunningTellMoreNettlebaneTopic The hags are hateful of anything which grows from the earth. They made the weapon strong against the natural world. T03DanicaQuestRunningTellMoreNettlebaneTopic It's the only thing I've even heard of that could cut Eldergleam. T03DanicaSoWhatThen Eldergleam is older than metal, from a time before men or elves. To even affect it, you have to tap into the old magic. T03DanicaTravelToGrove Eldergleam's sanctuary grove is to the east of here. T03DanicaTravelToGrove You can use Nettlebane to retrieve some of its sap. T03DanicaTreeInfoSharedResponse To the east of here is a hidden grove where the Eldergleam resides. It's the oldest living thing in Skyrim. Maybe all of Tamriel. T03DanicaTreeInfoSharedResponse Our tree here in the city was grown from a cutting of that tree. You can still feel the glory of the mother tree through it. T03DanicaTreeInfoSharedResponse Even its name is an echo. T03DanicaUnderstandingEnd I... you're right of course. It can be hard to hear the winds of Kynareth when all you hear are the rabble in the temple. T03DanicaUnderstandingEnd Death feeds new life. T03DanicaUnderstandingEnd I'm sure that, in time, this little sapling will grow into a new Gildergreen that will tower over Whiterun. Thank you. T03DanicaWhereIsTheTree If you want to help, you'll need something to cut into it first. T03DanicaWhyNoPilgrims A big dead tree isn't very inspiring if you're coming to worship the divine of wind and rains. T03DanicaWhyNoPilgrims Kynareth gives life, and we need a living tree to be her symbol. T03Goodbyes May Kynareth's winds blow you to fortune. T03Goodbyes It's time for you to go. T03Goodbyes Hey, get out of here! T03Goodbyes Leave or be removed. T03Goodbyes You need to leave now. T03Goodbyes Go, you're not wanted here. T03Goodbyes I don't think you belong here. T03Goodbyes Leave now or suffer dire consequences. T03Goodbyes Get out of here before I call the guards! T03Goodbyes Both of you... out, out! T03Goodbyes I think it's time for you to get going. T03Goodbyes Could you please leave now? T03Goodbyes You must leave immediately. T03Goodbyes You're not welcome here. Go. T03Goodbyes You need to leave. T03Hellos It's a shame, isn't it? T03Hellos So, have you gotten Nettlebane back from those filthy Hagravens yet? T03Hellos Do you have the Eldergleam sap? T03Hellos Welcome, child. T03Hellos Was I correct in hearing that you were traveling to the grove of the Eldergleam? T03Hellos What's happened to the Gildergreen is a travesty. T03Hellos Please move quickly. Eldergleam awaits us. T03Hellos Is it much further to the sanctuary? T03Hellos I can't believe I've finally made it here. T03Hellos It's like it was in my dreams. T03Hellos I can almost hear its heart. T03MaurceUnderstanding I understand. Some journeys must be taken alone. I'll be here if you change your mind. T03MauriceAdmonishmentTopic I had no idea you were a man of violence. What exactly are your intentions in this blessed place? T03MauriceAdmonishmentTopic I had no idea you were a woman of violence. What exactly are you intending to do here? T03MauriceDisgust Very well. I can't stop you. But I can't bear to watch it, either. T03MauriceDontFollowResponse I understand. Some journeys must be taken alone. I'll be here if you change your mind. T03MauriceEndContinuation You should take it to Whiterun. Danica will want to see that the true blessings of nature lie in renewal, not a slavish maintenance. T03MauriceEndQuestBranchTopic The Eldergleam has blessed us with a sapling. T03MauriceFollowingOrNotTopic Shall we proceed, friend? T03MauriceFollowMeToTree Follow me. I think I can convince the tree to help us. T03MauriceForceGoodbye Good luck on your travels. May Kynareth's wind carry only the sweetest scents. T03MauriceHasAPlan Well... yes. There is something. T03MauriceHasAPlan It won't repair the tree back at the temple, but we could bring them a new one. T03MauriceIntroductionTopic I am a traveler. A pilgrim. I follow the voice of Kynareth wherever it can be heard. T03MauriceIntroductionTopic I've dreamed of seeing Eldergleam for years. Might I travel alongside you? I promise not to get in the way. T03MauriceKThxBai It was my pleasure, friend. In a way, I envy you getting to carry such a direct sign of Kynareth's graces. T03MauricePardonMe Was I correct in hearing that you were traveling to the grove of the Eldergleam? T03MauriceReactToPlan You would violate this marvel of Kynareth's glory to fix that half-breed stump in Whiterun? T03MauriceReactToPlan That's abominable. Barbaric. I'll have no part of this. Why didn't you tell me what you intended? T03MauriceSoYouStayingHere I believe I'll stay here and bask in Eldergleam's warmth a bit longer. T03MauriceThankYou I thank you for your kindness. T03MauriceThankYouForLettingMeFollow Thank you for your kindness. T03MauriceWarning With pleasure. Nature has a way of finding vengeance, though. You walk a bleak path, friend. One that will lead to suffering. T03TreeRumorsTopic I assume you saw the Gildergreen? Big tree, all burnt up, in the middle of the Wind District. T03TreeRumorsTopic It's part of the Temple of Kynareth. People want Danica to do something about it, but I don't know what they expect. T03TreeRumorsTopic Don't forget the ranting and raving. About the Night Mother, how she was the true leader of the Dark Brotherhood, and Astrid was just a "pretender." T03TreeRumorsTopic It's true, I'm afraid. Cicero was a little whirlwind, slashing this way and that. It would have been funny, if he weren't trying to murder us all. T0JofthorAboutKlimmek Look around here. There's not much left. T0JofthorAboutKlimmek Used to be a good-sized town, but folks have been moving to Riften for a while now. T0JofthorAboutKlimmek If all the young people leave, what happens to Ivarstead? T0StartingRumorsPointerToTemple Well let's not put it like that. Wouldn't want the Thieves Guild catching wind of us, eh? T0StartingRumorsPointerToTemple Nah, just creep in and have a go at taking it out. I'll be here, and pay you half of what my man in Riften promised for it. T0StartingRumorsPointerToTemple You'll be helping out an old beggar, and the Divines smile on that sort of thing. TG00BrynjolfBrandSheiInfoBranchTopic We've been contracted to make sure Brand-Shei remembers not to meddle in affairs that aren't his own. TG00BrynjolfBrandSheiInfoBranchTopic Now, since we're not the Dark Brotherhood, we're not going to kill him, we're just going to make sure he sits in the prisons for a few days. TG00BrynjolfGateBranchTopic Aye, that he was. And you sniffed him out because he broke one of the cardinal rules of our business... he got greedy. TG00BrynjolfGateBranchTopic He was told to run the scam on merchants, but he smelled the gold on you and his judgment went out the window. TG00BrynjolfGateBranchTopic01 Killing him was a bit... impulsive. TG00BrynjolfGateBranchTopic01 A true professional would have kept his cool and dealt with it a different way, but I'll let it go. TG00BrynjolfGateBranchTopic01 Actually, I admire how you handled the situation. TG00BrynjolfGateBranchTopic01 You kept your cool and you didn't kill him. That's the mark of a professional thief. TG00BrynjolfHelpBranchTopic Do you want me to hold your hand as well? TG00BrynjolfHelpBranchTopic You have the ring. All you have to do is pick Brand-Shei's pocket and plant it there. TG00BrynjolfHelpBranchTopic Do you want me to hold your hand as well? TG00BrynjolfHelpBranchTopic You're going to have to sneak over to Madesi's stall and use your lockpick on the strongbox. TG00BrynjolfHelpBranchTopic Then when you have the ring, you pickpocket Brand-Shei and leave it behind. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch01 I'm saying you've got the coin but you didn't earn a septim of it honestly. I can tell. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch01 Your pockets... they're a little low on coin. I can tell. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch02 It's all about sizing up your mark, lad. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch02 The way they walk, what they're wearing. It's a dead giveaway. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch02 It's all about sizing up your mark, lass. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch02 The way they walk, what they're wearing. It's a dead giveaway. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch02a Look how you sniffed out my little scheme at the North Gate. You knew it was a shakedown and you called him on it. That's what I'm talking about. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch02a The gate's unlocked. You can head inside when you're ready. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch03 Oh, but that's where you're wrong, lad. Wealth is my business. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch03 Maybe you'd like a taste? TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch03 Oh, but that's where you're wrong, lass. Wealth is my business. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch03 Maybe you'd like a taste? TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch03a Wealth is my business. Help me out and I can add to yours. Would you like a taste? TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch04 I've got a bit of an errand to perform, but I need an extra pair of hands. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch04 And in my line of work, extra hands are well-paid. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch06 Simple... I'm going to cause a distraction and you're going to steal Madesi's silver ring from a strongbox under his stand. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch06 Once you have it, I want you to place it in Brand-Shei's pocket without him noticing. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch07 Sorry... I usually have a nose for this kind of thing. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch07 Never mind then, lad. If you change your mind, come find me. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch07 Sorry... I usually have a nose for this kind of thing. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch07 Never mind then, lass. If you change your mind, come find me. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch08 You're trying my patience, lad. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch08 You're trying my patience, lass. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch09 There's someone that wants to see him put out of business permanently. That's all you need to know. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch09 Now, you tell me when you're ready and we'll get started. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch09 There's someone that wants to see him put out of business permanently. That's all you need to know. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch09 I'll be out in the market all day, from eight in the morning until eight in the evening. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch09 Meet me then if you've still got the stomach for it. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch09 I see... and this "force of habit," does it also compel you to murder? TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch09 But don't underestimate the Stormcloaks. Many are Legion veterans. They may be traitors, but they know how to fight. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranch09 Let's show these rebels what real soldiers look like. TG00BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic Glad to see you finally came to to your senses. Ready to make some coin? TG00BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic Never done an honest day's work in your life for all that coin you're carrying, eh lad? TG00BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic Running a little light in the pockets, lad? TG00BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic Never done an honest day's work in your life for all that coin you're carrying, eh lass? TG00BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic Running a little light in the pockets, lass? TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203A1 Expecting free information, eh? Help me deal with business first, then we'll see how I can help you. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203A1 Besides, you look like your pockets are a little light on coin, am I right? TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203A1 Take care, husband. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203A1 Well, I'd better get to work. I have to fix another saw blade for Gerdur's mill. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203A1 Ah. Uh. Of course I'm not just rising. You must have been out when I woke up. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203A1 Like a stone. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203A1 Hello, husband. You're rising late. You spent too long at the Sleeping Giant last night, didn't you? TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203A1 Hello, husband. You slept well? TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203A1 Good morning, wife. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203B1 And I'm busy. You help me out, and I'll help you out. That's just how it is. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203C1 Aye, you've got a point there. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203C1 Passing on a golden opportunity is worse. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203C1 Dammit... TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203C1 I think this might be the end... TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203D1 Your guy's hiding out in the Ratway Warrens and paying us good coin for nobody to know about it. Well, until now that is. TG00BrynjolfIntroMQ203D1 Tell you what. Go ahead and deal with your business for now. When you're done, find me and we'll deal with mine. TG00BrynjolfLostRingBranchTopic Lost it? Well, at least you showed signs of initiative by telling me. TG00BrynjolfLostRingBranchTopic I guess I shouldn't be surprised with the way things are going around here. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic01 Bah. My organization's been having a run of bad luck, but I suppose that's just how it goes. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic01 But never mind that, even though you fouled up the job I still think you've got that spark I'm looking for. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic01 There's plenty of gold out there for the taking... if you're up to the challenge. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic01 Bah. My organization's been having a run of bad luck, but I suppose that's just how it goes. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic01 But never mind that, you did the job and you did it well. Best of all, there's more where that came from... if you think you can handle it. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic01 Lorkhan's eyes! Look at that big bastard! Keep your head down, let's see what it does. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic02 All right, then. Let's put that to the test. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic02 The group I represent has its home in the Ratway beneath Riften... a tavern called the Ragged Flagon. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic02 Get there in one piece and we'll see if you've really got what it takes. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic03 Look, I'll make this simple for you. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic03 The group I represent has its home in the Ratway beneath Riften... a tavern called the Ragged Flagon. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic03 When you make up your mind, come find me there and we'll talk about your future. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic04 Arrogant, eh? Play it however you want, but listen up. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic04 The group I represent has its home in the Ratway beneath Riften... a tavern called the Ragged Flagon. TG00BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic04 When you come to your senses, find me there and we'll discuss your future. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic Just how long did you expect me to keep those people distracted? I had to let the whole plan fall through. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic Well, at least you didn't do anything stupid. Next time, when you're given a job, don't wander off or take your sweet time. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Nothing around here has been going well lately. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic Are you daft? This isn't the Dark Brotherhood! We don't go around murdering anyone, ever. It just isn't how things are done. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Nothing around here has been going well lately. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic I guess I expected too much from you. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic Looks like I chose the right person for the job. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic Now look what you've gotten yourself into. No worries. Just sit tight. I'll find the release. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic01a And here you go... your payment, just as I promised. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic01a The way things have been going around here, it's a relief that our plan went off without a hitch. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic01b I didn't think you'd get pinched. TG00BrynjolfOutroPreBranchTopic01b Can't say I'm surprised with the way things have been going around here. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Good. Wait until I start the distraction and then show me what you're made of. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Damn. I knew I shouldn't have waited. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic What a waste of time. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Well, I see that my time is up. Come back tomorrow if you wish to buy. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic I dunno, sounds like I should try it. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic What if he's right? Maybe I'll buy one. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic I could get rich and stop selling these trinkets. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic This is just what I need right now. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic I can't afford to get one, but can I afford not to? TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic That Wisp Essence didn't help, but maybe this will. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic He has to be lying! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Twenty coins? No one has that much. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Don't listen to him, he's making this up. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Why would you even listen to him? TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic He gives other merchants a bad name. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic This is ridiculous. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Grow back that missing limb! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic See into other people's thoughts! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Learn a library's worth of knowledge in moments! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Wield powerful magic incantations! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Live for thousands of years! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Who knows what powers the elixir will unlock! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Please hurry, I have only a few bottles left! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Only twenty septims a bottle! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Only twenty gold septims! Hurry before my supply is gone. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic How much does it cost? TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic My sources must remain a secret for their own protection but I can promise that the contents are genuine. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic One sip of the elixir and your wishes will be granted. Great wealth, everlasting life or perhaps limitless power could be yours! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic How did you get that, then? No one's seen them in years! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic The one and only. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Mystical beings who live in legends and were masters of great magic. Imagine the power that coursed through their veins! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Oh come on, are you talking about the Snow Elves? TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic That was a simple misunderstanding, but this item is the real thing. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Lads and lasses I give you, Falmerblood Elixir! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic That's what you said about the Wisp Essence and it turned out to be crushed nirnroot mixed with water! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Patience, Brand-Shei. This is a rare opportunity, and I wouldn't want you to get left out. TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Come on, Brynjolf... what is it this time? TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Gather 'round all! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic No pushing, no shoving. Plenty of room! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic This way everyone! Over here! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic You need to hear this! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic Everyone! Everyone! Gather 'round! TG00BrynjolfReadyToStartBranchTopic I have something amazing to show you that demands your attention! TG00BrynjolfWalkAwayTopic I can take a hint, lad. You want to make some coin, come find me. TG00BrynjolfWalkAwayTopic I can take a hint, lass. You want to make some coin, come find me. TG00Goodbyes I'll be at the market come morning. You better be there too. TG00Goodbyes I'm ready when you are. Just give the word. TG00Hellos When I'm done here, I'd be more than happy to sell you an elixir. TG00Hellos Please, please... hold all your questions until after I've finished! TG00Hellos Oh, excuse me, milord. I'll be glad to sell you an elixir after I'm done with these fine people. TG00Hellos Oh, excuse me, milady. I'll be glad to sell you an elixir after I'm done with these fine people. TG00Hellos What wasn't I clear about? TG00Hellos Okay lad, ready to make some coin? TG00Hellos Okay lass, ready to make some coin? TG00Hellos Changed your mind I hope? TG00Hellos I'm fine, I'm fine. Let's move on. TG00Hellos This place has had you shaking in your armor ever since we arrived. TG00Hellos Quiet! I think I heard something. TG00Hellos Can't say that I have. TG00Hellos Find anything worthwhile yet? TG01BersiQuestBranch02Topic All right! I get it. I'll pay on time from now on. Just don't smash anything else. TG01BersiQuestBranch02Topic Here, take your gold and leave me in peace. TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic Oh! There's no need for that. I know why you're here. Tell Brynjolf not to worry about it anymore. TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic Oh! And look, I even have the payment I owed. Here, take it. TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic Then I thank you for showing me mercy. Here, take this coin to him. If it keeps us together, it's worth its weight. TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic Wha... what? Oh, it's one of you people. TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic So, Brynjolf doesn't even bother to show up himself anymore, eh? What's this message? TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic Well, that's a different matter... TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic01 Petty threats and fist waving are not going to sway me. You people are all talk, and everyone knows it! TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic01 Pay you to protect me? You can't even protect yourselves! TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic01a You're gouging me for what little coin I make and you can't even protect yourselves? Ridiculous! TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic02 Likewise. Now, I have a lot to do, so I'm afraid you'll just have to leave! TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic02a I'm going to make you sorry for this! TG01BersiQuestBranchTopic03 Don't fool yourself. It's only a matter of time before you people are run out of Riften. TG01BersiQuestPreBrokenBranchTopic I can't believe you did that. You people are monsters! TG01BersiQuestPreBrokenBranchTopic You demand payment for protection and you can't even protect yourselves. TG01BersiQuestPreBrokenBranchTopic Here, take your coin and tell Brynjolf to leave us alone. TG01BrynjolfAboutKeerava She was the toughest of the bunch. Honestly, I'm amazed she didn't kick you out of the Bee and Barb herself. TG01BrynjolfAboutKeerava Keerava's stubborn, but she's got a soft spot for family. TG01BrynjolfAboutKeerava Talk to Talen-Jei at the Bee and Barb and see if you can get something out of him. They're... well acquainted if you catch my meaning. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic You have wax in your ears? I said no one dies. We're not assassins. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic Well guess what... now you've inherited their debt. Don't come back to me until you have every last coin. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic So I've heard. Thanks to you, this should be the last time they forget to pay. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic One small detail though - I need all of the gold they gave you. No one skims around here. Come back when you've got every last coin. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic You make one move towards my skooma, and I shiv you. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic Have any skooma? I need to get something from Grisvar. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic Some day, brother. Some day. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic Nearly broke my back out in the mines today. Damn Nords should bleed for putting us through this! TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic They keep the doors locked when they come down. You kill them, you're trapping us here with no food. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic Think maybe we should jump the guards when they come down next? TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic Ah, it's not been more than a few days since they came down the last time. TG01BrynjolfAfterQuestLowGoldBranchTopic Think the guards will be coming down, soon? TG01BrynjolfBeforeRatwayBranch02Topic The walls have ears and you're being tested, lad. We'll talk in the Ragged Flagon. TG01BrynjolfBeforeRatwayBranch02Topic The walls have ears and you're being tested, lass. We'll talk in the Ragged Flagon. TG01BrynjolfBeforeRatwayBranchTopic If I have to hold your hand through everything, maybe you aren't cut out for this kind of work. TG01BrynjolfBeforeRatwayBranchTopic It's under your feet, lad. Just follow the smell. TG01BrynjolfBeforeRatwayBranchTopic If I have to hold your hand through everything, maybe you aren't cut out for this kind of work. TG01BrynjolfBeforeRatwayBranchTopic It's under your feet, lass. Just follow the smell. TG01BrynjolfDoneQuestBranch02 Now if there are no more questions, how about following me and I'll show you what we're all about. TG01BrynjolfDoneQuestBranchTopic01 Despite your mistakes, I see more potential in you than half the snot-nosed footpads that stumble their way into the Flagon. TG01BrynjolfDoneQuestBranchTopic01 I'm going to put my neck on the line. We need people like you in our outfit. TG01BrynjolfDoneQuestBranchTopic01 Judging from how well you handled those shopkeepers, I'd say you've done more than simply prove yourself. We need people like you in our outfit. TG01BrynjolfDoneQuestBranchTopic01a That's the spirit! Larceny's in your blood... the telltale sign of a practiced thief. TG01BrynjolfDoneQuestBranchTopic01a I think you'll do more than just fit in around here. TG01BrynjolfDoneQuestBranchTopic03 What's on your mind? TG01BrynjolfDoneQuestBranchTopic04 We've run into a rough patch lately, but it's nothing to be concerned about. TG01BrynjolfDoneQuestBranchTopic04 Tell you what. You keep making us coin and I'll worry about everything else. Fair enough? TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic Are you daft? I told you not kill any of them. How much clearer do you need me to be? TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic How about the gold? Did you remember to bring it or is that too difficult an instruction as well. TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic So, job's done and you even brought the gold. Best of all you did it clean. I like that. TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic Dumping bodies and keeping the guards quiet can be expensive. TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic I don't suppose you're going to buy something this time? TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic Malyn's enchantments are broken. Hold on. I'm going to pull your soul out of there. Brace yourself. TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic The Star is free to purify itself. Don't worry, mortal. I will return you before you are cleansed. TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic01 I suppose it's not a total loss then. TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic01 Let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to make some serious coin in this business you need to listen to rules. TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic01 Now, on to other things. TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic01 Well done. And it would seem I owe you something in return. TG01BrynjolfDoneTopicTopic01 Here you go, I think you'll find these quite useful. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic I wasn't sure that he'd see the light, but I'm sure you "explained" it to him. Well done! TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic He's as pig-headed a man as you'll ever find. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic The key is that ugly dwarven urn in his shop. Smash that thing to bits and he'll change his attitude. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic But we've only just arrived here -- you've no idea what any of us are capable of. Why not give us a chance to show you what we can do? TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Please, please! This is exactly what I'm talking about. Eagerness must be tempered with caution, or else disaster is inevitable. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started! TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Of course, my dear. Of course. You all certainly possess some inherent natural ability. That much is not being questioned. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic What I'm talking about is true control, mastery of magic. It takes years, if not decades, of practice and study. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Sir, I think we all understand that fairly well. We wouldn't be here if we couldn't control magic! TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic So, as I was saying, the first thing to understand is that magic is, by its very nature, volatile and dangerous. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Unless you can control it, it can and will destroy you. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Welcome, welcome! We were just beginning. Please, stay and listen. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Oh, fine. Have my boon and be done with it. I've got more interesting deals to make, anyway. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Vile! None of that - you made a deal, and the mortal stood by it honestly. Now it's your turn to come through. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic A lack of ambition like that really ought to be punished. Perhaps by turning you into a worm, or maybe a few decades of... TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic I'll make sure this war ends, all right. Just as soon as the dragons swarm across Skyrim and wipe out all of you puny... TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic You can be a part of a tremendous power - all you have to do is let your soul be absorbed by this axe. I never said it would be your power... TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic It's a shame you wished for something so dull as me taking back the mutt. Quite the lack of imagination on your part. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Now, as for your wish... An end to the war, was it? TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Now, as for your wish... Power, was it? TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Ah, that feels so much better! You forget how nice supreme power feels until you've been stuck in a cave for a few years. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic We're all pretty new at this, right? Let's just give it a chance. What's the worst that could happen? TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Oh, don't listen to him. We can do it, just give us a chance! TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic Oh, don't listen to her. We can do it, just give us a chance! TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic See? He agrees with us too! Why don't you actually show us something? TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchBersiTopic See? She agrees with us too! Why don't you actually show us something? TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchHaelgaTopic She's as stubborn as she is beautiful, isn't she? Glad you found a way to get her to pay. TG01BrynjolfDuringQuestBranchHaelgaTopic Haelga is a devout follower of Dibella and dotes over the statue to the Divine that she keeps at the Bunkhouse. Use it as leverage and she'll cave. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranch00 They owe our organization some serious coin and they've decided not to pay. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranch00 I want you to explain to them the error of their ways. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranch01 Do this right, and I can promise you a permanent place in our organization. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranch01 Keerava, Bersi Honey-Hand and Haelga. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranch03 Honestly, the debt is secondary here. What's more important is that you get the message across that we aren't to be ignored. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranch03 A word of warning though... I don't want any of them killed. Bad for business. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranch04 Good. If you need any details on your marks, I'll be here. Now get going. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Of course you'll get a cut. We take care of our own. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Now if you need any details on your marks, I'll be here. Get going. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 You have no business in our stronghold, outlander. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Malacath blesses this land for the Orcs. And the Orcs alone. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 We won't kill you, outlander, but we don't want you here. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Most of my kin are in the longhouse. Come back during the day if you wish to trade. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 It's late outlander. Come back in the morning if you need to spend coin. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 We only trade during the day, outlander. At night, most rest in the longhouse. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 I'm here to mine, outlander. So unless you want to dig, get out. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 I have metal to dig. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Malacath has given me the task to mine. Good ore brings strength to our people. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Every Orc learns the heavy labor of mining. All spend years in the caves. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 The mines are hard, but Malacath rewards those who rise to the challenge. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 This is High Hrothgar, our temple, sanctuary, and home. We ask that you respect our solitude while you are here. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Your training proceeds well, Dragonborn. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 What do you need, Dragonborn? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 What is it? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Do you need something? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Eh? Did you say something? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 You'll have to speak up. I'm a little deaf in my right ear. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Yes? What is it? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Did you need something? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Drem Yol Lok. Greetings. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Speak. I will listen. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Dovahkiin. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Ah! You made it! Good to see you, my friend. I'll never forget how you saved my life from those Thalmor maniacs. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 So you made it out. Good for you. Don't expect me to thank you. I still remember what you did to me. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Ah... so tender. Come here, you morsel! TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Ah... so tender. Come here, you morsel! TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Keep an eye out for wolves if you're headed up the path to High Hrothgar. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 What is your need, Dragonborn? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Lead me into battle. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 I answer the call of the Dragonborn. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Lead me into battle. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 I serve the Dragonborn. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionOutroBranchTopic05 Lead me into battle. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic Well, well... color me impressed, lad. I wasn't certain I'd ever see you again! TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic Well, well... color me impressed, lass. I wasn't certain I'd ever see you again! TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic01 Reliable and headstrong? You're turning out to be quite the prize! TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic01 So... now that I've whetted your appetite with our little scheme at the market, how about handling a few deadbeats for me? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic01a No risk, no reward. That's the way it goes, so you better get used to it. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic01a Now... if you're done bellyaching like a child, how about handling a few deadbeats for me? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic01a If you're looking for a challenge, you've come to the right place. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic01a A few drinks, a few laughs and a contest. What could be better? TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic01a Maybe you just aren't up to the challenge... TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic01b If you were expecting a palace, then maybe you're not cut out for this line of work. Our methods involve secrecy and discretion. TG01BrynjolfIntroductionTopic01b Now... if you're done bellyaching like a child, how about handling a few deadbeats for me? TG01Goodbyes I'll be here when you're done. TG01Goodbyes Come back when you grow a backbone. TG01Goodbyes Just leave me in peace. TG01Goodbyes I hope Brynjolf chokes on his gold. TG01Goodbyes I can't stand this city. It's impossible to make a decent living here. TG01HaelgaQuestBranch02Topic Not Lady Dibella? No, please! I can't lose her! TG01HaelgaQuestBranch02Topic I get the message. Here, take your gold. I hope you choke on it! TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic I know who you are. You've been terrorizing the entire city. TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic Please, there's no need for that here. Message understood. Here, I even have the payment! TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic I knew when we were married, this would come between us one day. I don't want to lose what we have, so I'll pay him gladly. TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic You... you have my statue! What are you going to do with it? TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic What does he want now? I already explained to him that you can't get blood from a stone. TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic01 Look, I can't make the coin appear out of thin air. Please, be reasonable. I'll... I'll pay next month. TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic01a Ha! We'll see about that! TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic04 And so have I. What's the point of paying anyway? Your outfit can't even fend for itself. I could do better tossing the gold into the sewer. TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic04 You can't scare me with your tough talk. I'm not paying you people a single coin. TG01HaelgaQuestBranchTopic04 Are the gods angry with me? TG01Hellos I trust everything went well? TG01Hellos Have anything for us yet? TG01Hellos What is it with you and all these questions? Very well, ask away. TG01Hellos All right, I'll entertain you a bit more. Go on. TG01Hellos Now what did you want? I already paid you. TG01Hellos I know you... everyone's been talking about it. What are you here for? TG01Hellos I'm not paying you or Brynjolf a single coin! Now get out of my tavern! TG01Hellos I said get out! I'm not paying a single coin! TG01Hellos Here for a room or something to drink? Show me some coin first. TG01Hellos You want something or not? TG01Hellos We got the message... now just take your business elsewhere. TG01Hellos What do you want? TG01Hellos I hope you're here for friendlier reasons now... after all, I'm all paid up. TG01Hellos Oh no! You're the one from Brynjolf's outfit, aren't you? TG01Hellos No! That urn was priceless! TG01Hellos Please, reconsider what you're doing. Maybe I can pay later... TG01Hellos I... I don't care! I'm not paying! TG01Hellos I'm sorry, you're going to have to leave. Tell Brynjolf he'll just have to make due without my coin. TG01Hellos So, can I interest you in anything today? TG01Hellos Look, I got the message. What else did you want? TG01Hellos It's you! Please, don't hurt me! TG01Hellos Please! Don't take the statue! It's the only thing of value I have left! TG01Hellos Ask all you want, you can't squeeze blood from a stone. Not in this part of the world anyway. TG01Hellos If you're looking for a room, try the Bee and Barb. This place is for the working man. TG01Hellos What did you want? TG01KeeravaQuestBranch02Topic Very well. Here. Take this back to Brynjolf and tell him he'll have no more trouble from me. TG01KeeravaQuestBranch02Topic01 No, and I never will. Now get out of my inn! TG01KeeravaQuestBranch02Topic01a How could you possibly know about... TG01KeeravaQuestBranch02Topic01a Please. My family means too much to me. Don't hurt them. TG01KeeravaQuestBranchTopic Look, everything was all just a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to tell Brynjolf to go jump off the pier. You'll tell him I said sorry, yes? TG01KeeravaQuestBranchTopic Take this. Every single coin I owe is there, I swear it. TG01KeeravaQuestBranchTopic I'll already told that buffoon I'm not paying you people a single coin! TG01KeeravaQuestBranchTopic03 Look around you, I'm barely keeping this rathole together. The war's seen to that. TG01KeeravaQuestBranchTopic04 Come on, give it your best shot! TG01KeeravaQuestBranchTopic05 Good, and take this little message back to your bosses. TG01KeeravaQuestBranchTopic05 I'm not paying any of you a single septim... ever! Now get out of my inn! TG01KeeravaQuestBranchTopicFriend Then go back to your boss and tell him what I've already told him so many times, I lose count. TG01KeeravaQuestBranchTopicFriend His request is denied... I'm not paying him any more gold. This madness has to end. TG01TalenJeiQuestBranchTopic With the rumors going around about how poorly your Guild's been doing, she's become much too bold. TG01TalenJeiQuestBranchTopic I'm not that foolish. The last thing I want is a war with your people. TG01TalenJeiQuestBranchTopic01 Look, I'm only telling you this because I care for her. Don't mistake this as acceptance for what you do. TG01TalenJeiQuestBranchTopic01 Keerava has some family at a farm just inside of Morrowind. If you mention you know about it, she might just listen to you. TG01TalenJeiQuestBranchTopic01 Just please, don't harm anyone. I couldn't bear the thought. TG02AringothIntroBranch1b Fine. Take it! TG02AringothIntroBranch1b Once the new owner finds out I gave in, I'm as good as dead anyway. TG02AringothIntroBranch1b I don't believe you. That's not your way. TG02AringothIntroBranch1c Give it your best shot! TG02AringothIntroBranchTopic Worthless mercenaries. TG02AringothIntroBranchTopic I didn't think Maven or Mercer would allow me to get away with this, but I had little choice. TG02AringothIntroBranchTopic01a I can't. If I do, I may as well cut my own throat. TG02AringothResolutionBranchTopic I've already said too much. TG02AringothResolutionBranchTopic I gave you what you came here for, now go. Leave me in peace. TG02AringothWalkawayTopic No! I'm not about to let you ruin everything I've worked so hard for! TG02BDelvinIntoBranch01 Lyin' to my face isn't gonna win you any favors with me, I can promise you that. TG02BDelvinIntoBranch01 On the other hand, takin' some of these extra jobs off my hands, now that'll get you to the top of my list. TG02BDelvinIntoBranch02 See, that kind of attitude comes from someone who wants to get rich and stay alive long enough to enjoy it. We're goin' to get along nicely. TG02BDelvinIntoBranch02 So, if you've got the nerve, I've got plenty of extra jobs to help get the Guild back on its feet. TG02BDelvinIntroBranchTopic Brynjolf, huh? Lemme guess. He plucked you off the street and dropped you into the thick of things without tellin' you which way is up. Am I right? TG02BDelvinOutroBranch02 Look, I know the others think I'm a bit daft for sayin' stuff like this, but I'm gonna give it to you straight. TG02BDelvinOutroBranch02 Somethin' out there is piss-drunk mad at us. I don't know who or what it is, but it's beyond just you and me. We've been cursed. TG02BDelvinOutroBranchTopic Look around you. The Flagon, the Guild... it's all fallin' apart. TG02BDelvinOutroBranchTopic A few decades ago, this place was as busy as the Imperial City. Now, you're lucky if you don't trip over a skeever instead. TG02BDelvinOutroBranchTopic03 I'll tell you what we do. We spit in that curse's face and turn things around down here. Put things back the way they were. TG02BDelvinOutroBranchTopic03 That's where you come in. I've got plenty of work available that could guide us down the road to recovery. TG02BDelvinOutroBranchTopic03 All you need to do is ask and we can both come out of this smellin' like a rose. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic Goldenglow Estate brought in a mountain of gold for the Guild. You could almost call it our sweetest deal. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic Then out of the clear blue, Aringoth stops sending us our cut. Mercer was... well, angry to put it kindly. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic So we send in Vex and find out he's hired a bunch of mercenaries to guard the place. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Old ruins. Nordic, I think. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 My word, look at those ruins. Remarkable. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look at those ruins. How long have they stood here, I wonder? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Old stonework. Gold, traps, and bones. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Nord stonework. Thousands of years old. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look at those old stones. Ancient Nords sure could build. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look at those ruins. Think there's gold inside? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 The old Nords sure did love their stonework. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look at these stones. The ancestors knew how to build, no doubt. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Ruins ahead. Means old traps and bonewalkers. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look. One of the ancient Nord ruins. Who knows what's down there? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 The entrance to a dwarven city. All manner of strange traps and machines will be inside. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Is this that dwarven city? I hear the treasure from their ruins is worth a fortune. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Dwemer ruins. The people under the mountains. All gone now. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look over there. That's a dwarven ruin. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 A dwarven city. A place of mystery and death. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Dwarven metalwork. So much wasted effort. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Oh, look. It's the entrance to a dwarven city. I've heard stories.... TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 I dislike lurking near dwarven cities. It's like their ghosts are watching us. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Huh. Dwarven ruins. Strange places. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 A Dwemer city. The lost people. The heretics. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Is that a dwarven city? I've never seen a dwarf, ever. Don't think anyone has. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Seems like a ruin. Dwarven, I think? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 By the Mane, look. A dwarven city. Still sitting here after thousands of years. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Get nervous around dwarven stonework. Legends say these cities are haunted. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Old dwarven ruin. Look at that metalwork. Such a waste. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 That's a dwarven city. I hear they built armor that walks like people. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Yes. He'll do. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 We can just sacrifice another disciple. Apprentice Haerlon will be no great waste. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 We can't take another villager from the surface so soon. I told you to prepare everything properly! TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 More souls are needed for the Star. The last one died before he could be harvested. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Aye. Aringoth sent the city guard packing and fortified the entire island. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 In fact, Vex barely made it out of there alive. You should talk to her about it before you go. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Get ready. Trouble ahead. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Yuck. Something smells. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Trouble is in the air here. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 I've got a bad feeling about this. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 I smell blood. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Keep your blade ready. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 I don't like where this is going. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 I have a feeling there's going to be trouble. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Get ready for a fight. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Keep your eyes open. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Get a bad feeling. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Don't like the looks of this. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Something smells foul. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Got a feeling there's trouble ahead. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Smell that? Blood. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 I don't think I like where this is going. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Don't see that every day. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 I've seen better. Well, maybe not. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Damn. That's quite a sight. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 I've never seen anything quite like that. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 What a sight.... TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Mighty impressive. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Wow! That's impressive. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 By the Hist, what a sight.... TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 That's...that's...wow. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Impressive. Damn impressive. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look at that. Am I drunk? I must be drunk. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Wow. Would you look at that. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 By the Twin Moons... TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 By Ysmir! That's impressive. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Gotta admit, that's impressive. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 By the Nine! TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 There's a cave here. Perfect hideout for bandits or worse. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Another filthy cave. Always so dark. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Hmm. Caves. Wonder what's below. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Hey look, a cave. Wonder what's inside? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look, a cave. An exciting place to venture, if you know what you're doing. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 There's a cave here. Bears if we're lucky. Trolls if we're not. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look at that, a cave. Who knows what could be down there? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look, a cave. A fine place to find trouble. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 A cave. Dark. Dangerous. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 There's a cave. Tread carefully. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Hey, there's a cave. Bad place to stumble drunk. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 There's a cave here. Think we should check it out? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 We've found a cave. I don't think there are warm fires and friendly faces inside. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 There's a cave. Animals or bandits inside, no doubt. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 A cave. Up for some hunting? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Cave up ahead. Trouble or maybe treasure? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 It's a Nordic ruin. Thousands of years old. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Look. Nordic ruins. I hope there's gold inside. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Nordic ruins. Old. Secretive. TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Is that one of the old ruins? TG02BrynjolfAringothBranchTopic01 Oh, look. A Nordic ruin. TG02BrynjolfBurnBranchTopic They're built like small fortresses to resist the weather, but their one weakness is flame. TG02BrynjolfBurnBranchTopic Besides, nothing tells the people of Riften we mean business better than a huge column of smoke. TG02BrynjolfBurnBranchTopic01 I'll give you one good reason. Maven Black-Briar. TG02BrynjolfBurnBranchTopic01 Burn all the hives and she'd have to import honey for Black-Briar Meadery which would cut into her profits. TG02BrynjolfMavenBBBranchTopic We had an arrangement with Maven. We kept an eye on Goldenglow Estate to make sure the honey kept flowing. TG02BrynjolfMavenBBBranchTopic If the workers had a dispute, we'd rough them up. If competitors tried to buy honey from Aringoth, we'd steal the shipments. TG02BrynjolfMavenBBBranchTopic In return, Maven allowed us to extort Aringoth and bring in a huge payout. TG02BrynjolfMavenBBBranchTopic00 Let me put it to you this way. TG02BrynjolfMavenBBBranchTopic00 Nothing happens in Riften without Maven's consent. One word from her and you could spend the rest of the fourth era in prison. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic You've made a mess of things and Maven's furious. I told you not to burn more than three of the hives! TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic I've smoothed things over with her for now, but you can forget your cut. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic Word on the street is Goldenglow's been hit. Good job, lad. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic Word on the street is Goldenglow's been hit. Good job, lass. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Aringoth sold Goldenglow? What's that idiot thinking? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a He has no idea the extent of Maven's fury when she's been cut out of a deal, but I'm certain he'll find out. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a If only this parchment had the buyer's name instead of this odd symbol. Any idea what that might be? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Yeah. Right. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Nice try, blossom, but I'm not a knight, I'm a mercenary. The answer's still no. Besides, your mother would miss you too much. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Every knight needs a squire. I could help you with your sword, things like that. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a When I go away, I go to war. That's no place for a little girl. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Papa, the next time you go away, I want to come with you. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Not now, Braith. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a But... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Not now, Braith. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Mother? Can I talk to you? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Not now, Braith. Go... go ask your father. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I wanted to ask you something. It's about a boy... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a What? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Mother? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Listen, Braith... Why don't you talk to your mother about this, okay? There's a good girl. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I wish your mother were still alive. She could answer you much better. Let me think on it and we'll talk later. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Well, there's this boy, and... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Hmm? What about? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Papa, I want to talk to you... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Hmph. Damn you for being right. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Old man, without me, you would have withered away a long time ago. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a My mistake. A manservant wouldn't let me starve or freeze. I let you live here, and now I'm two steps closer to the grave. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Oho! Manservant? Is that what I am now? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Well if my layabout manservant fed me more, that wouldn't be a problem. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a That's just you getting skinnier every day, old man. You're losing your padding. You need to eat more. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a There's a chill in the air. Ysmir's beard, it gets colder in here every day. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Hmm. So I haven't. All right, I'll buy the ingredients tomorrow and we can have it for dinner. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Mutton. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Which, the mutton or the vegetable? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You ain't made me that stew in a long time. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Then you're on. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Probably. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You going to lose horribly, and then say you let me win? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Fancy a game of Iron Hearts later? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Don't talk about my father like that, Jon. And the answer's still no. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a But tomorrow. Definitely. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Don't say that out loud. Not here. And the answer's still no. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a But tomorrow. Definitely. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a That's your imagination running wild. Nobody knows how we feel about each other. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I can't. Not tonight. I need to go home. I swear, my father is starting to suspect something. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I can't. Not tonight. I need to go home. I swear, my family is starting to suspect something. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I want to see you when you're done working. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Harlot. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Tsk. You've uncovered my master plan. Now I suppose you'll never leave. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You mean you won't forget about me the moment I'm out of sight? Get yourself a nice old rich husband, have sixteen babies? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Oh Jon, stop dallying. You know you have to go. It's why Mara put you on this earth. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You think a few miles can truly keep us apart? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a No, not yet. But I will. I just haven't... gotten around to it yet. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a So have you spoken to that man from the Bards College? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a It's all true, I swear it. You can hear it when it's done. I'll just need a year or two smooth the rough edges. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a A ballad? Oh, now I know you're joking with me. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Well, that's where I started. But it turned into something of a ballad. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Why Jon Battle-Born. You're writing me a song? Does it somehow involve blood, or beheadings, or the honor of my forebears? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a So I'm, uh... writing a song for you... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a That's what I thought. Now get out of my way, baby. I got things to do. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Well, no... I... I mean... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Oh no? So you're gonna fight back if I punch you? Huh? You're gonna hit a girl? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You... You're wrong! You can't hurt me anymore... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Don't make me laugh, baby Battle-Born. You'll be afraid of me till the day I kill you. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Braith. I.... I've come to tell you that I'm not afraid of you anymore. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Ten septims tomorrow, baby Battle-Born. Or I'm gonna bloody your nose and your lip. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a No! Please! I really don't have any money, Braith! I'll give you ten septims tomorrow. Just don't hit me. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You'd better give me five septims, right now, or I'm going to bloody your nose... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I... I don't have any money. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Battle-Born! Give me your money! TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Just go away! TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a What are you gonna do if I don't? Huh? Gonna cry to your papa? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Leave me alone, Braith... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Oh look, it's little baby Battle-Born. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a If it'll put your mind at ease, then I agree. But not now, all right? We need the business from the stand. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Might be worth riding out to Solitude, see if a messenger ship's come in. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Don't worry, brother. I'm sure he's fine. We've waited longer before receiving a letter. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a It's been two months, and no word from father. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Good. I'll do the same. We've still got plenty of shafts from that Riverwood shipment. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a All right. I'll fletch some more when I get the time. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Our stock of arrows is running a bit low. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a At least the Nords don't shirk their responsibilities. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Congratulations, brother. You've been living in Skyrim so long, you've become a Nord. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Nonsense. That's just an excuse for you to avoid working, and "commune with the greenwood like our fathers of old" and blah blah. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Why not? Business has been terrible. Most folk would rather hunt their own meat than buy ours. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Three weeks? You're mad! You can't keep the stand closed for that long! TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a That was three days. I'm thinking more like three weeks. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Again? You just had an "extended hunt" last month. To the Pine Forest, wasn't it. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I've been thinking of hunting out beyond the boundaries of Whiterun hold. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Lookin' forward to it. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Excellent. I'll send the proper letters, then, and have some fresh horses delivered straightaway. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Aye, mum. That we will. Mares, stallions, donkeys - I don't think it matters. Pretty sure I can sell any steeds we get. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Why thank you for that most colorful assessment, Skulvar. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a So we'll be needing fresh horses, then? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Aye, that it has. Trust me, mum - once you've killed a man from a horse, you'll never want to fight on the ground again. Ain't no goin' back. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Indeed. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I do hate to admit it, but if nothing else, all the fighting lately has been a complete blessing to this business. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Ha! Four more geldings sold. Sound like good news to you? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Everyone is this city is so on edge. I could use some good news, Skulvar. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You've got the heart of Mara herself, you know that? Thank you, Carlotta. Thank you. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Look, come back tomorrow, okay? If I have anything left that's not sold or spoiled, you can have it. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a No, no! Don't do that. No need to do that. I'm going. See? I'm leaving. No guards, please. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a That's what you said last week, and the week before that. Now go, before I call a guard. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Oh, just one apple, Carlotta? Just one tiny apple. I'll pay you tomorrow, I swear it. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a No handouts today, Brenuin. Now scat. You'll scare off my paying customers. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Oh, the fruit looks so good. So juicy. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a And what might you be looking at? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Yay! TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Tsk. And to think, I was going to feed you cabbages and apples again. Yes, little fairy, we can go to the tavern for supper. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Can we at least go to the tavern for supper? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Because it's always true. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a That's what you always say. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I'm afraid not, little fairy. The fruit has about another day left before it spoils. We've got to sell as much as we can, as soon as we can. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Can you close up the stand early today, mama? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Good day. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Suit yourself, then. The woods are that way. Outside the walls, walk straight ahead. Can't miss them. Good luck on your hunt. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I'm not "afraid" of anything. I simply prefer quality merchandise. No, no this meat won't do at all. Too much fat, and it all smells... wrong. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Ahhhh... No, no Elven spices. Just some salt, to preserve it. You're not afraid of salt, are you? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You don't prepare the meat with any of those strange Elven spices, do you? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Maybe you'd like to try the horker? Or some beef? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Hmm. As you say. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I can assure you, it's all fresh. I hunt the game myself, every day. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Do you have anything even remotely fresh? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Perfect, my dear. Absolutely perfect. I'll see you then. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Ahhh, I see. I think I know just what you need. I don't have anything like that here now, but my Eorlund - he can make you one right quick. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a When I get home, I'll have him start on it right away. Come back to pick it up in, oh... three days? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Funny you should ask. I'm in the market for a new locket. Something in polished silver, maybe. Big enough to hold, say, a folded-up letter? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Lillith - always a pleasure. Just browsing, or were you looking for something particular? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Hello, Fralia dear. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Big lizards? By Shor, your mother gave birth to a half-wit. That is the end of this discussion. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Come on, father, how hard can it be? They're just... big lizards. And those scales and teeth, they must be worth a fortune... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Dragons? You want to go out and fight dragons? Are you completely off your nut? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I'm just no good at this. You said it yourself. Gods, I don't even like horses. And if it's true what they're saying about dragons... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Here it comes again. Not happy with a roof and a trade, no. You want to be something entirely... different. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Listen, father. I've been thinking.... TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Yes, son. We should try to capture it. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Oh. Okay. So we should try to... what? Capture it? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a We manage to break that mare and bring her back here, we can sell her for a small fortune. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a So? So? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Shor's beard, boy! You forget where you're standing? What kind o' business we're running? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Yeah. So? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a I tell you? Saw that wild mare again yesterday, just outside the walls. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Don't suppose there is. But you don't have to be so damned prickly. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Yes, father, I did. And I watered her, and got fresh feed, and refitted the old saddle, just like you asked. Is there anything else? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You clean out that muck? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You know I did. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Groom her, too? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a Yes, father. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001a You shoe that gelding, boy? TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001b Blast. Well, I'll check my sources and speak to Mercer. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic001b But for now, you're off to speak to Maven Black-Briar. She asked for you by name. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic01 At least you remembered one of the things I asked. Let me see that. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic01 Let me take a look at what you found. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic01a Don't sound so eager, it's not a social visit. It's business. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic01b Oh, no. Nothing like that. You're calling on her for business. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic01c Ha ha. If it was like that she wouldn't be asking for you, she'd be calling on the Dark Brotherhood. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneBranchTopic01c It's just business. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneOutroBranchTopic That's between you and Maven and I prefer to keep it that way. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneOutroBranchTopic Just keep your ears open and your mouth shut and you'll do fine. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneOutroBranchTopic That's between you and Maven and I prefer to keep it that way. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneOutroBranchTopic Don't worry about it. Maven's business dealings usually involve quite a bit of gold for her people. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneOutroBranchTopic01 Of course... your pay. Haha! You're smart as a whip, lad. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneOutroBranchTopic01 Keep doing right by us and there's plenty more where that came from. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneOutroBranchTopic01 Of course... your pay. Haha! You're smart as a whip, lass. TG02BrynjolfQuestDoneOutroBranchTopic01 Keep doing right by us and there's plenty more where that came from. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03 Goldenglow Estate is a bee farm; they raise the wretched little things for honey. It's owned by some smart-mouth wood elf named Aringoth. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03 We need you to teach him a lesson by burning down three of the estate's hives and clearing out the safe in the main house. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a The Guild depends on an arrangement of influential people to keep things running smoothly. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a Hmm? Oh, yes. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a Since Brynjolf assures me you'll be nothing but a benefit to us, then you're in. Welcome to the Thieves Guild. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a Mercer, aren't you forgetting something? TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a Goldenglow Estate is critically important to one of our largest clients. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a However, the owner has suddenly decided to take matters into his own hands and shut us out. He needs to be taught a lesson. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a Brynjolf will provide you with the details. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a You claim this recruit possesses an aptitude for our line of work. If so, let him prove it. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a You claim this recruit possesses an aptitude for our line of work. If so, let her prove it. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic03a Wait a moment, you're not talking about Goldenglow, are you? Even our little Vex couldn't get in. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic04 The catch is that you can't burn the whole place to the ground. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic04 That important client Mercer mentioned would be furious if you did. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic04a Aye, the last thing we want to be doing is crossing our clients. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic06 That's not how things work around here. The Guild depends on an arrangement of influential people to keep things running smoothly. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartBranchTopic0x Without them at our backs, we'd be in serious trouble. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartSecondaryBranchTopic Maven prefers that Aringoth remains alive, but if he tries to stop you from getting the job done, kill him. TG02BrynjolfQuestStartSecondaryBranchTopic The Guild has a lot riding on this. Don't make me look foolish by mucking it up. TG02BrynjolfStartupBranchTopic Welcome to the family, lad. I'm expecting you to make us a lot of coin, so don't disappoint me. TG02BrynjolfStartupBranchTopic Welcome to the family, lass. I'm expecting you to make us a lot of coin, so don't disappoint me. TG02BrynjolfStartupBranchTopic01 Simple. Do as you're told and keep your blade clean. We can't turn a profit by killing. TG02BrynjolfStartupBranchTopic01 You should talk with Delvin Mallory and Vex. They know their way around this place and they'll be able to kick some extra jobs your way. TG02BrynjolfStartupBranchTopic01 Oh, and talk to Tonilia in the Flagon... she'll set you up with your new armor. TG02BrynjolfStartupWalkawayTopic Hey, I'm not done talking to you yet. Come back here! TG02BToniliaBranchTopic So, you're the new recruit, eh? TG02BToniliaBranchTopic Well, looks like you and I are going to have to get very well acquainted. TG02BToniliaBranchTopic01 I'm the fence down here. You come by anything you don't exactly own and I'll pay you some coin for it. Minus a little slice for the Guild, of course. TG02BToniliaBranchTopic01 I can also provide a few supplies useful to our trade now and again, for a small fee. TG02BToniliaBranchTopic02 Sure, how about I get Dirge to knock you over your head and dump you into the cistern? TG02BToniliaBranchTopic02 Look, I've been in this business a long time and I've seen all types. You can play it tough, you can play it smart... whatever. TG02BToniliaBranchTopic02 At the end of the day you'll find all we care about down here is how much gold you can make us. TG02BToniliaBranchTopic03 Good. Then there isn't much more to say. TG02BToniliaBranchTopic03 Here's your armor, just make sure you put it to good use. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic And two, you follow my lead and do exactly as I say... no questions, no excuses. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic Oh, master. It's your time to do with as you please, but what about those who depend on you so much? TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic Tendrils of thought may wind their way through this realm, but those tendrils bind our reality together. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic A method to your madness and your madness is the method and the melody... TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic I found the bone! I've brought it to you but still I am refused... TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic Before we begin, I want to make two things perfectly clear. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic One, I'm the best infiltrator this rathole of a Guild's got, so if you think you're here to replace me, you're dead wrong. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic02 Then we understand each other... good. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic02 Now, it's time to get your feet wet and I don't want to waste a lot of time talking about anything but business. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic03 Easy, huh? So, should I just hand you purses of coin or are you going to work to earn your keep? TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic03 Let me give you a small bit of advice. Nothing in this line of work is easy. If it was, every dreg in the Ratway would be robbing Riften blind. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic03 If something's being handed to you on a silver platter, then there's a catch... steal the platter instead. You get it? TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic04 Now you I like. I've been getting sick of the pushovers that usually walk in here. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic04 I think you and I are going to get along just fine. TG02BVexIntroBranchTopic04 Now, it's time to get your feet wet and I don't want to waste a lot of time talking about anything but business. TG02BVexOutroBranchTopic I'm not going to sugar-coat it for you. We're in a bad way down here. TG02BVexOutroBranchTopic02 Who knows. Old Delvin thinks it's some kind of a curse. I think he's crazy. TG02BVexOutroBranchTopic02 If you want my opinion I say it's just plain old bad luck. TG02BVexOutroBranchTopic03 You can get out there and start making a name for us again... make them start fearing us like they did long ago. TG02BVexOutroBranchTopic03 And, while you're at it, make a little bit of coin on the side. Not a bad deal, eh? TG02GoldenglowBranchTopic Watch yourself out there. The mercenaries Aringoth hired are trained killers. Just ask our poor little Vex. TG02GoldenglowBranchTopic The honey they collect on that hunk of rock goes into making Black-Briar Mead; just about the best tasting mead in all of Skyrim. TG02GoldenglowBranchTopic I wouldn't bother smacking at those hives with a weapon. Set 'em on fire and they'll go up like kindling. TG02GoldenglowBranchTopic I'd like to know why you're wasting time asking about it when you should already be on your way. TG02Goodbyes You watch yourself on that island. Those mercenaries don't take prisoners. TG02Goodbyes There! Now attack it! TG02Goodbyes Keep it busy. I'll try to drain some of its power! TG02Goodbyes Nothing seems to work! TG02Hellos So tell me, did Aringoth enjoy your visit? TG02Hellos All eyes are on you, lad. Don't disappoint us. TG02Hellos All eyes are on you, lass. Don't disappoint us. TG02Hellos Was there something else? TG02Hellos I suggest you listen to what Mercer has to say... if you want in. TG02Hellos Let me show you the operation, then you can ask your questions. TG02Hellos It's just this way. Keep following me. TG02Hellos Keep following, it isn't far. TG02Hellos Go, leave me in peace. TG02Hellos Let's wait until Brynjolf's here before we begin. TG02IntroSceneDialogue01Topic Good. Then I think it's time we put your expertise to the test. TG02IntroSceneDialogue01Topic Before we continue, I want to make one thing perfectly clear. If you play by the rules, you walk away rich. TG02IntroSceneDialogue01Topic You break the rules and you lose your share. No debates, no discussions... you do what we say, when we say. TG02IntroSceneDialogue01Topic This better not be another waste of the Guild's resources, Brynjolf. TG02IntroSceneDialogue01Topic Mercer? This is the one I was talking about... our new recruit. TG02IntroSceneDialogue01Topic Oh? I don't expect anyone to miss my meaning. TG02IntroSceneDialogue01Topic Come, Legate. There's much to do. TG02IntroSceneDialogue02BranchTopic If you're not sure maybe you don't belong here. I'll ask again, are we clear on all of this? TG02IntroSceneDialogue02BranchTopic It's Grelod! TG02IntroSceneDialogue02BranchTopic Aiiiiiiieeeeeeee!! TG02IntroSceneDialogue03BranchTopic I'll let that comment go because you're new here. Ask things out of turn again, and we have a problem. Now, are we clear on all of this? TG02MercerForceGreetBranchTopic Do I make myself clear? TG02VexGoldenglowBranchTopic Hmph, yeah I did. That wood elf s'wit... he's a lot smarter than I expected. TG02VexGoldenglowBranchTopic Can you believe that fetcher had more than tripled the guard? There must be eight of them in there. TG02VexGoldenglowBranchTopic It was like he was daring us to come and get him. TG02VexGoldenglowBranchTopic01 Well, there's an old sewer tunnel that dumps into the lake on the northwest side of the island. TG02VexGoldenglowBranchTopic01 That's how I slipped in there. Should still be unguarded. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic I warned you not to cross Maven. If I hadn't stepped in and paid amends, you'd be... well, I think you know. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic At least Sabjorn has found himself in Whiterun's prison. How unfortunate for him. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic Word on the street is that poor Sabjorn has found himself in Whiterun's prison. How unfortunate for him. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic01e Then this is beyond coincidence. First Aringoth and now Sabjorn. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic01e Someone's trying to take us down by driving a wedge between Maven and the Guild. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic01e Farewell, Sabjorn. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic01e I said move! TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic01e Look, I assure you, this is all just a huge misunderstanding! TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic01e It will be my pleasure. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic01e You... you're in charge here until I can sort this all out. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic01e Oh come now, this is mead... not some wine to be sipped and savored. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic02 Mercer thinks he knows a way to identify this new thorn in our side. He wants to meet with you right away. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic02 And if I were you I'd hurry. I've never seen him this angry before. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic05 Exactly! Now you're beginning to see how our little system works. TG03BrynjolfReturnBranchTopic05 Maven sent word that you discovered something else while you were out there. Something important to the Guild? TG03Goodbyes Remember to put in a good word with Maven for me. TG03Goodbyes I love it when a plan comes together. TG03Goodbyes Remember, Sabjorn will be needing a helping hand. Make it look good. TG03Goodbyes Good luck. I'll be here if you need me. TG03Goodbyes Suit yourself. TG03Goodbyes Please hurry. The Captain of the Guard isn't patient when it comes to tasting time. TG03Goodbyes Now I've got to clean up this mess. TG03Goodbyes Remember, you don't get paid until they're all dead. TG03Goodbyes One more time in case I wasn't clear. You butcher this job and you'll be sorry. TG03Hellos Was something we discussed unclear? TG03Hellos I can't believe that worked. TG03Hellos I can't wait to see Sabjorn squirm. TG03Hellos You're supposed to be at the meadery. TG03Hellos Can't a man drink in peace? TG03Hellos I believe Brynjolf wishes to speak with you. We're done here. TG03Hellos I trust you have good news for me. TG03Hellos Why aren't you at Honningbrew Meadery? TG03Hellos Shouldn't you be on your way to Whiterun? TG03Hellos About time you showed up. TG03Hellos Out with it. What happened at the meadery? TG03Hellos I'm certain Maven wishes you to be in Whiterun, not wasting time here. TG03Hellos Maven wants to see you right away. I suggest you head right over. TG03Hellos You did this didn't you? I'll get you for this! TG03Hellos I haven't heard even a scratch at the door. Have you done it? TG03Hellos What is it now? We have a tasting to attend to! TG03MallusIntroBranchTopic02 I'm going to keep this short 'cause we've got a lot to do. TG03MallusIntroBranchTopic02 Honningbrew's owner, Sabjorn, is about to hold a tasting for Whiterun's Captain of the Guard and we're going to poison the mead. TG03MallusIntroBranchTopic03a No, no. That's the beauty of the whole plan. We're going to get Sabjorn to give it to us. TG03MallusIntroBranchTopic03a The meadery has quite a pest problem and the whole city knows about it. Pest poison and mead don't mix well, you know what I mean? TG03MallusIntroBranchTopic05 You're going to happen by and lend poor old Sabjorn a helping hand. TG03MallusIntroBranchTopic05 He's going to give you the poison to use on the pests, but you're also going to dump it into the brewing vat. TG03MallusIntroBranchTopic06 Maven and I spent weeks planning this. All we need is someone like you to get in there and get it done. TG03MallusIntroBranchTopic06 Now get going before Sabjorn grows a brain and hires someone else to do the dirty work. TG03MallusOutroBranchTopic I don't think that could have gone any better. TG03MallusOutroBranchTopic Anything else you need before you head back to Riften? TG03MallusOutroBranchTopic01 So, Maven wants to hunt down Sabjorn's private partner, huh? TG03MallusOutroBranchTopic01 You're welcome to take a look around Sabjorn's office. He keeps most of his papers stashed in his desk. TG03MallusOutroBranchTopic01 Here, this should help. TG03MallusPoisonBranchTopic Once Sabjorn is out of the way, Maven has plans for this place. One way or another, we don't want the pests coming back. TG03MallusPoisonBranchTopic Consider it just more of the dirty work. I did my part getting them in there, now you need to clear them out. TG03MallusPostSceneBranch02Topic I thought it would be better to leave some of the details out of our previous discussion. Didn't want to risk you walking away from the job. TG03MallusPostSceneBranch02Topic Besides, you've done Maven a favor getting rid of him and saved me from wasting coin hiring someone else to do it later. TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic Start changing it over to the Black-Briar Meadery West as soon as possible. That was Maven's part of the deal. TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic She's put me in charge of keeping the mead flowing, so that's exactly what I'm going to do. TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic If you're in the area and you ever need anything fenced, you just let me know. TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic Please, lead on. TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic Of course. TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic This man is going to take you to Markarth. Are you ready? TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic This woman is going to take you to Markarth. Are you ready? TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic It's our honor to have you there. TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic I'm to go to the temple in Markarth. I... I'll have to leave you and mother. TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic My little girl. Always strong. Do you know where you have to go? TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic Of course not. My spirit remains strong. TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic Fjotra, dear. Did they hurt you? TG03MallusPostSceneBranchTopic Father! TG03MallusSabjornBranchTopic I made the mistake of borrowing coin from Sabjorn. He's allowing me to pay it back, but he's working my fingers to the bone! TG03MallusSabjornBranchTopic He treats me like a slave... I have to do every nasty, dirty job in the meadery. TG03MallusSabjornBranchTopic02 If this plan works, not only is my debt gone, but I'll be set up for life. TG03MallusSabjornBranchTopic02 Maven and I worked out a little deal. If Sabjorn ends up in jail, she's going to take over his meadery. TG03MallusSabjornBranchTopic02 And guess who gets to run the Black-Briar Meadery in Whiterun? You're looking at him. TG03MallusTunnelsBranchTopic Both of the buildings are connected by tunnels made by the pests infesting the meadery. TG03MallusTunnelsBranchTopic There's an entrance to it in the basement storeroom of the warehouse that used to be boarded over. TG03MallusTunnelsBranchTopic I've already removed the boards so the meadery would get infested. That's where you should start. TG03MallusTunnelsBranchTopic01 Sabjorn keeps that locked up tight. If you can get through that way, go right ahead. TG03MavenIntoBranchTopic00 The only reason we're having this conversation is due to Brynjolf's assurance you won't botch another assignment. TG03MavenIntoBranchTopic00 He claims you possess some sort of uncanny aptitude for your line of work. Quite frankly I find that hard to believe. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopic So you're the one that burned down Goldenglow Estate. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopic Do you have any idea what that little stunt you pulled is going to cost me? TG03MavenIntroBranchTopic I'm amazed you even bothered to show your face here. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopic So, you're the one. Hmm. You don't look so impressive. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopic01 You're a firebrand, aren't you? TG03MavenIntroBranchTopic01 It's about time Brynjolf sent me someone with business sense. I was beginning to think he was running some sort of beggar's guild over there. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA Is that confidence I hear... or is it arrogance? Strange how often they're confused. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA You have to understand, it's been a long time since Brynjolf's sent me anyone I can rely on. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA A new hand touches the beacon. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA You have found my beacon. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA But it is not time for rejoicing. The defiler continues to profane my temple. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA Return to my figure on Mount Kilkreath, and I shall make you the instrument of my cleansing light. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA Do you prefer heedlessness to my luminous glory? Go! TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA Take my beacon to the mount above Kilkreath. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA Can you not hear me? Are your ears full of hate? TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA The defiler waxes! TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA Go now, with haste. Take my beacon to Mount Kilkreath. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA Fool! He is perverting my Light. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA A Light that could illuminate Skyrim and her people. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA Malkoran has forced the doors shut. But this is my temple, and it responds to my decree. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicA I will send down a ray of light. Guide this light through my temple and its doors will open. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicB This is exactly what I'm talking about. TG03MavenIntroBranchTopicB Once again Brynjolf sends me someone with no backbone, no determination. TG03MavenIntroFinBranchTopic Faith? I don't have faith in anyone. TG03MavenIntroFinBranchTopic All I care about is cause and effect. Did the job get done and was it done correctly. There's no gray area. TG03MavenIntroFinBranchTopic01 I hope not. This is an important job. TG03MavenIntroFinBranchTopic01 I have a competitor called Honningbrew Meadery that I want to put out of business. TG03MavenIntroFinBranchTopic01 I also want to know how they managed to get the place up and running so quickly. TG03MavenIntroFinBranchTopic02 Head to the Bannered Mare in Whiterun and look for Mallus Maccius. He'll fill you in on all the details. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic Have you lost your mind? I thought it was clear I didn't want anyone killed. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic Now I have to spend a fortune to keep the whole thing quiet. Guess where that money comes from. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic This doesn't tell me much. The only thing that could identify Sabjorn's partner is this odd little symbol. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 The only thing keeping me from having you killed is Brynjolf. He's stepped in and made amends. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 At least you remembered to bring me the information I requested. Give me that. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 This doesn't tell me much. The only thing that could identify Sabjorn's partner is this odd little symbol. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 And lose out just when the going is getting good? No thanks. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 If you like I'd be happy to take it over the operation for you. Take the source off your hands. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 I just got lucky is all. Bumped into someone who knew someone else. The rest just writes itself. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 I don't know where you find your sources, but that last shipment of skooma was some of the best quality I've seen in years. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 Well, everyone's wrong. Now why don't you just shut up about it. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 Come on, everyone knows about you and Brynjolf. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 What are you talking about? TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 Hey Ton, you shouldn't cheat on Vekel. He's a good guy. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 Hear my Thu'um! Feel it in your bones. Match it, if you are Dovahkiin! TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 A gift, Dovahkiin. Yol. Understand Fire as the dov do. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 A gift, Dovahkiin. Toor. Understand Inferno as the dov do. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 A gift, Dovahkiin. Shul. Understand Sun as the dov do. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 Dragonborn. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 In their tongue, he is Dovahkiin. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 But, there’s one they fear. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 And when the truth finally dawns, it dawns in fire. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 But no one wanted to believe. Believe they even existed. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 When the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 To the time after Oblivion opened. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 Their defeat was merely a delay. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 The Elder Scrolls told of their return. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic00 You should have acted. They’re already here. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic01 Well, whoever this mysterious marking represents, they'll regret starting a war with me. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic01 You should bring this information to the Thieves Guild immediately. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic01 Well, whoever this mysterious marking represents, they'll regret starting a war with me. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic01 You should bring this information to the Thieves Guild immediately. TG03MavenReturnBranchTopic01 There's also the matter of your payment. I believe you'll find this more than adequate for your services. TG03MavenSabjornBranchTopic Not a day goes by that I don't regret letting Sabjorn get as far as he did. TG03MavenSabjornBranchTopic In only a few short years, he's taken that bile he calls mead to market and a chunk of my profits with it! TG03MavenSabjornBranchTopic I can't imagine where he found the gold to take it to market so quickly. TG03MavenSabjornBranchTopic01 Exactly. With Sabjorn in prison, his meadery will be forced to close. TG03MavenSabjornBranchTopic01 Then I swoop in and take over the place. No more competition. TG03MavenSabjornBranchTopic02 The Goldenglow Estate job has undoubtedly interrupted the supply of honey I need to make my mead. TG03MavenSabjornBranchTopic02 Sabjorn could use this interruption to his advantage and collect a larger share of the market. I can't have that. TG03MavenTellMeMoreBranchTopic Some layabout named Sabjorn. TG03MavenTellMeMoreBranchTopic Been a thorn in my side for the last few years now. TG03MavenTellMeMoreBranchTopic You might want to rethink that. You're missing out on some wonderful opportunities, working in that bar. TG03MavenTellMeMoreBranchTopic I'm not interested, Jaree. It doesn't matter how many times you ask. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic What are you gawking at? Can't you see I have problems here? TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic01 Are you kidding me? Look at this place. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic01 I'm supposed to be holding a tasting of the new Honningbrew Reserve for the Captain of the Guard. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic01 If he sees the meadery in this state, I'll be ruined. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic01aa Oh really? And I don't suppose you'd just do it out of the kindness of your heart, would you? TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic01aa I hope you're not expecting to get paid until the job's done. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic03aa Oh, very well. Here's half. You get the rest when the job's done. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic03aa Well that's not how I operate, so forget it. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic03ab Okay, okay. No need to make rash decisions. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic03ab Here's half. You get the rest when the job's done. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic03ab Yell all you want. It's not going to change my mind. TG03SabjornIntroBranchTopic03ac My only demand is that these vermin are permanently eliminated before my reputation is completely destroyed. TG03SabjornIntroOutBranchTopic I bought some poison. I was going to have my lazy, good-for-nothing assistant Mallus handle it, but he seems to have vanished. TG03SabjornIntroOutBranchTopic If you plant this in the vermin's nest, it should stop them from ever coming back. TG03SabjornIntroOutBranchTopic01 Don't come back until every one of those things are dead. TG03SabjornMallusBranchTopicA Mallus is the best deal I've ever made. Lent him a bit of gold some time ago I knew he'd never be able to pay back. TG03SabjornMallusBranchTopicA Nothing like free labor to make operating costs cheaper. TG03SabjornMavenBranchTopic Maven Black-Briar's gone out of her way to try and have me shut down, but fortunately I have a good relationship with Whiterun's Jarl. TG03SabjornMavenBranchTopic Every year, I sell more Honningbrew and Maven loses customers. Know why? My mead tastes better. TG03SabjornMavenBranchTopic01 Well... yes. I mean, all of the gold didn't come from me. I have a silent partner that helped with the finances. TG03SabjornMavenBranchTopic02 Silent means I don't tell and it's none of your business. TG03SabjornTaskDoneBranchTopic Well it's about time! I had to stall the captain until you were finished. TG03SabjornTaskDoneBranchTopic Why are you standing here then? TG03SabjornTaskDoneBranchTopic I've told the captain of the guard we'll have the meadery cleared for the tasting and he could be here any minute. TG03SabjornTaskDoneBranchTopic01 You'll just have to wait until after the captain's finished. I suppose you can wait around if you must. TG04BrynjolfEastEmpireBranchTopic A mercantile group that has established ports all over Tamriel. They pretty much dominate the whole shipping industry. TG04BrynjolfEastEmpireBranchTopic The Emperor himself supposedly backs them, which means they have fairly unlimited resources... so don't get their feathers in a ruffle. TG04BrynjolfGulumBadBranchTopic There are thieves and then there is Gulum-Ei. No honor, no code at all. He'd shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time. TG04BrynjolfGulumBadBranchTopic The cut he's supposed to provide the Guild has dwindled as of late. He says pickings in the warehouse are slim, but I'm certain he's lying. TG04BrynjolfGulumBadBranchTopic Keep your eyes on him, he's quite crafty. TG04BrynjolfGulumBranchTopic Gulum-Ei works in the East Empire Company Warehouse. He helps maintain all of the shipments of goods that goes in and out of Solitude. TG04BrynjolfGulumBranchTopic That means he has the pick of the litter from some of the finest goods to grace Skyrim's shores. TG04BrynjolfGulumBranchTopic He isn't exactly in the Guild, but he pays us a cut of all the stuff he lifts from the warehouse. TG04BrynjolfGulumInfoBranchTopic Just head right back to the Guild and get the information to Mercer. Nothing else is more important. TG04BrynjolfGulumInfoBranchTopic If you discover Gulum-Ei's holding out on us and has more loot stashed away than he claims, we'd find that information quite valuable as well. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic I can't believe Gulum-Ei's mixed up in all this; that Argonian couldn't find his tail with both hands. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic Don't get me wrong, he could scam a beggar out of his last septim... but he's no mastermind. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic01 Trouble? He's one of the most stubborn lizards I've ever met! You have your work cut out for you. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic01a You're going to have to buy him off; it's the only way to get his attention. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic01a If that fails, follow him and see what he's up to. If I know Gulum-Ei, he's in way over his head and you'll be able to use it as leverage. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic02 No, no. Mercer wants him alive, for now. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic02 Stubborn or not, he's the only contact we've got at the East Empire Company. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic02 Just keep on his tail and he's bound to step into something he can't scrape off his boot. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic02a Aye, he does indeed... and with his fingers in the East Empire Company's pie, we'll make good use of that debt. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic02a If I'm not being clear enough, that means we don't want him killed. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic02a For now, just keep on his tail and he's bound to step into something he can't scrape off his boot. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic02b I'm glad to see you're embracing our methods. It would be a waste to lose a contact at the East Empire Company before we had the entire story. TG04BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic02b Just keep on Gulum-Ei's tail and he's bound to step into something he can't scrape off his boot. TG04EECHellos The warehouse is off-limits. I suggest you head back the way you came. TG04EECHellos There's nothing for you in the warehouse, so why don't you take a walk? TG04EECHellos The warehouse is for East Empire Company workers only. Entering without permission is a crime. TG04EECShared01 This is the East Empire Company's central warehouse. All of their shipments go through here. TG04EECShared01 Unfortunately, thanks to some problems they've been having, it hasn't seen much use lately. TG04EECShared01 Either way, it's off limits to you. TG04EECShared02 This is the East Empire Company's central warehouse. All of their shipments go through here. TG04EECShared02 And now that they've solved their little pirate problem, they're busier than ever. TG04EECShared02 Either way, it's off limits to you. TG04EECShared03 How should I know? I don't work for them. TG04EECShared03 If you want to help, I suppose you could head to Windhelm and talk to Orthus Endario. He's in charge over there. TG04Goodbyes Now you won't forget to tell Mercer I cooperated, will you? TG04Goodbyes Give Mercer my regards when you return to Riften. TG04Goodbyes Look, did you want the information or not? TG04Goodbyes Do take care handling that case of wine... it's irreplaceable. TG04Goodbyes If you're the best the Guild's got, they're in worse shape than I imagined. TG04Goodbyes I need you to put all your efforts into this job. We can't afford any mistakes. TG04Goodbyes Good luck in Solitude. Keep Gulum-Ei alive, but remind him who we are. TG04GulumEiAcquireBranchTopic I have a buyer looking for a case of Firebrand Wine. There just so happens to be a single case in the Blue Palace. TG04GulumEiAcquireBranchTopic Bring it to me, and we'll talk about Goldenglow Estate. TG04GulumEiConfrontBranchTopic Now, there's no need to do anything rash... TG04GulumEiConfrontBranchTopic This isn't as bad as it seems. I was going to tell Mercer about everything, honestly! Please... he'll have me killed! TG04GulumEiConfrontBranchTopic02 I see you wish to be reasonable, perhaps I misjudged you. TG04GulumEiConfrontBranchTopic02 The name of the person you want is Karliah. TG04GulumEiConfrontBranchTopic02a No, please! There's no need for that! I'll tell you everything. TG04GulumEiConfrontBranchTopic02a It's Karliah... her name is Karliah. TG04GulumEiConfrontBranchTopic03 All right, all right. It's Karliah... her name is Karliah. TG04GulumEiConfrontOutroBranchTopic Mercer never told you about her? TG04GulumEiConfrontOutroBranchTopic Karliah is the thief responsible for murdering the previous Guild Master, Gallus. Now she's after Mercer. TG04GulumEiConfrontOutroBranchTopic01 Help... ? No, no! Look I didn't even know it was her until after she contacted me. TG04GulumEiConfrontOutroBranchTopic01 Please, you have to believe me! TG04GulumEiConfrontOutroBranchTopic02 I don't know. When I asked her where she was going she just muttered "Where the end began." TG04GulumEiConfrontOutroBranchTopic02 Here, take the Goldenglow Estate Deed as proof. And when you speak to Mercer, tell him I'm worth more to him alive. TG04GulumEiDeedTopic Consider it a gift to ensure your silence. That thing seems to be bringing me nothing but trouble anyway. TG04GulumEiDeedTopic Karliah didn't even want it, she wanted to keep the sale a secret. I can see how well that went. TG04GulumEiFirebrandWineBranchTopic01 I was approached by a woman who wanted me to act as the broker for something big. TG04GulumEiFirebrandWineBranchTopic01 She flashed a bag of gold in my face and said all I had to do was pay Aringoth for the estate. TG04GulumEiFirebrandWineBranchTopic01 I brought him the coin and walked away with her copy of the deed. TG04GulumEiFirebrandWineBranchTopic01 It is done. Emperor Titus Mede II lies dead, and the Dark Brotherhood yet lives. TG04GulumEiFirebrandWineBranchTopic02 Not at all. I tend not to ask too many questions when I'm on the job. I'm sure you understand. TG04GulumEiFirebrandWineBranchTopic02 However, I did notice she was quite angry and it was being directed at Mercer Frey. TG04GulumEiFirebrandWineBranchTopic03 In this business we rarely deal in names; our identity comes from how much coin we carry. TG04GulumEiFirebrandWineBranchTopic04 Look, that's all I know. I never promised you I'd have all the answers. TG04GulumEiFirebrandWineBranchTopic04 Now, since our transaction is done, I'll be on my way. TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic So, what do we have here? Hmm. Let me guess. TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic By your scent, I'd say you were from the Guild. But that can't be true, because I told Mercer I wouldn't deal with them anymore. TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic01 I don't deal in land or property. Now, if you're looking for goods, you've come to the right person. TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic02 Oh, wait... did you say Goldenglow Estate? My apologies. TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic02 I'm sorry to say I know very little about that... bee farm, was it? TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic04 Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. I can't be expected to remember every deal I handle. TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic04a All right. Had I known the deal would bring me this much trouble, I never would have accepted the gold. TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic04a I don't care what you promise. If I tell you the buyer's name and word gets around, it could ruin me! TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic05 Well, now that you mention it, there is something I've been trying to get my hands on. TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic05 Great Malacath, we beseech you, aid us in our time of need... TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic05a Hasn't Mercer Frey taught you people anything? TG04GulumEiInitialBranchTopic05a You kill me and your only contact with the East Empire Company vanishes. That's not smart for business. TG04GulumEiNightingalesTopic They were a secret cabal of the three top rogues in the Thieves Guild. No one knew their identities. TG04GulumEiNightingalesTopic Some people say they watched over the group, others say they were reserved for the most elite jobs. I don't really know. TG04GulumEiNightingalesTopic It wasn't until recently that I heard Mercer Frey and this Dark Elf named Karliah were a part of that group. TG04GulumEiWineDoneBranchTopic Good. Can't have the buyer getting impatient and looking elsewhere for this, can we? TG04GulumEiWineDoneBranchTopic Here, take this. I certainly can't use it, but I suppose I need to pay you something for the goods. TG04GulumEiWineDoneBranchTopic01 Not at all. I consider it an investment in prolonging my life. TG04GulumEiWineDoneBranchTopic01 As far as Goldenglow Estate goes, I'll tell you what I know. TG04Hellos You needed to know more? TG04Hellos You again? We have nothing else to discuss. Now move. TG04Hellos You again? We have nothing else to discuss. Now move. TG04Hellos Why are you following me? I told you, I don't know anything else! TG04Hellos Look, I've told you everything. Now leave me alone! TG04Hellos Our business has concluded and you're standing in my way. TG04Hellos Ah, I see you have the wine. Hand it over and we'll talk. TG04Hellos No Firebrand Wine yet? How disappointing. TG04Hellos Hmmm, you again. What is it this time? TG04Hellos What did you need? TG04Hellos Aringoth was a fool to think he could get away with this. TG04Hellos No time for idle chatter. Mercer is awaiting your presence. TG04MercerGulumEiBranchTopic When Gulum-Ei was getting us merchandise from the East Empire Company, we were making a hefty profit. TG04MercerGulumEiBranchTopic It was so lucrative, I was considering moving the Guild to Solitude to save us time. TG04MercerGulumEiBranchTopic01 Gulum-Ei started to get greedy and cut us out of the deal. Almost can't say I blame the scaly bastard. TG04MercerGulumEiBranchTopic01 It started out innocent enough; he kept claiming the shipments were light because of Imperial interference. TG04MercerGulumEiBranchTopic01 Then, maybe a few years ago, it all stopped. He didn't even bother to contact us anymore. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic Ah, there you are. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic I've consulted my contacts regarding the information you recovered from Goldenglow Estate, but no one can identify that symbol. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic Come on inside. Sigrid will get you something to eat and you can tell us what happened. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic Okay, okay. Come inside, then. Sigrid will get you something to eat and you can tell me all about it. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic He's a friend. Saved my life in fact. Come on, I'll explain everything, but we need to go inside. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic She's a friend. Saved my life in fact. Come on, I'll explain everything, but we need to go inside. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic What's going on? And who's this? TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic Shh.. Uncle, please. Keep your voice down. I'm fine. But we should go inside to talk. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic Are you in some kind of trouble? TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic Shor's bones, what happened to you, boy? TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic Hadvar, thank Talos! Your friend told me about Helgen... TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic Hadvar? What are you doing here? Are you on leave from... TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic Uncle Alvor! Hello! TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic01a It would seem our adversary is attempting to take us apart indirectly by angering Maven Black-Briar. Very clever. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic01aa They're well-funded and they've been able to avoid identification for years. I'm impressed it reached this point. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic01aa Just don't mistake my admiration for complacency; our nemesis is going to pay dearly. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic01ab You jest, but they've been able to avoid identification for years. They're obviously well-funded, driven and patient. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic01ab Just don't mistake my admiration for complacency; our nemesis is going to pay dearly. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic01ac Don't dismiss our adversary so easily. They're well-funded, patient and have been able to avoid identification for years. TG04MercerIntroBranchTopic01ac However, don't mistake my admiration for complacency; our nemesis is going to pay dearly. TG04MercerIntroExtBranchTopic Because, even after all their posturing and planning, they've made a mistake. TG04MercerIntroExtBranchTopic The parchment you recovered mentions a "Gajul-Lei." According to my sources, that's an old alias used by one of our contacts. TG04MercerIntroExtBranchTopic His real name is Gulum-Ei. Slimy bastard. TG04MercerIntroExtBranchTopic01 Gulum-Ei is our inside man at the East Empire Company in Solitude. TG04MercerIntroExtBranchTopic01 I'm betting he acted as a go-between for the sale of Goldenglow Estate and that he can finger our buyer. TG04MercerIntroExtBranchTopic01 Get out there, shake him down and see what you come up with. Talk to Brynjolf before you leave if you have any questions. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic I thought it was painfully obvious that Gulum-Ei was important to the Guild. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic I'm sorry to say your payment for the job will have to go to elsewhere since you feel like taking things in your own direction. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic Now, did Gulum-Ei give up any information on our buyer? TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic Did Gulum-Ei give up any information on our buyer? TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic01 No, it.. it can't be. I haven't heard that name in decades. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic01 This is grave news indeed, she's someone I hoped to never cross paths with again. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic02 Karliah destroyed everything this Guild stood for. She murdered my predecessor in cold blood and betrayed the Guild. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic02 After we discovered what she'd done, we spent months trying to track her down, but she just vanished. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic03 I know her techniques, her skills. If she kills me, there'll be no one left that could possibly catch her. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic03 If only we knew where she was... TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic03 Karliah and I were like partners. I went with her on every heist. We watched each other's backs. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic04 There's only one place that could be. The place where she murdered Gallus... a ruin called Snow Veil Sanctum. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic04 We have to go out there before she disappears again. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic05 Yes, I'm going with you and together we're going to kill her. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic05 Prepare yourself and meet me at the ruins as soon as you can. We can't let her slip through our fingers. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic05 Yes, I'm going with you and together we're going to kill her. TG04MercerOutroBranchTopic05 Here's your payment for Solitude. Prepare yourself and meet me at the ruins as soon as you can. We can't let her slip through our fingers. TG04PostSharedInfo01 Are you sure? Once I exchange it for you, I'm not taking it back... unless you want to sell it at a discount of course. TG04PostSharedInfo02 Make up your mind already. TG04PostSharedInfo03 Okay, there you go. TG04PostToniliaBranchTopic Well, looks like you're fitting in well down here. TG04PostToniliaBranchTopic I'm supposed to allow you to trade in one of your pieces of Guild armor, so what will it be? TG04PostToniliaBranchTopic01 Of course... otherwise it wouldn't be much of a reward, now would it? TG04PostToniliaBranchTopic01 Your new piece will enhance your skill beyond that of the original. Trust me. TG04PostToniliaBranchTopic06 Tough luck for you then. Come back when you have at least one of the pieces. TG04SPAlerttoNormal Must be my imagination. TG04SPAlerttoNormal Damn ears... playing tricks on me again. Can't stand this sea air! TG04SPGulumEiAlertIdle Hey... is someone watching me? TG04SPGulumEiAlertIdle I swear, if I'm being followed... TG04SPGulumEiAlertIdle I swear I feel like I'm being watched. TG04SPGulumEiAlertIdle If this keeps up, I'm headed back to the Winking Skeever. TG04SPGulumEiAlertIdle I don't have time to chase shadows, I've got better things to do. TG04SPGulumEiAlerttoCombat You're trailing me? I knew I heard something. TG04SPGulumEiAlerttoCombat Ha! I knew it was you all along. TG04SPGulumEiNormaltoAlert Who's there? TG04SPGulumEiNormaltoAlert Is someone following me? TG04SPGulumEiNormaltoCombat Following me, huh? You're not very good at this are you? TG04SPGulumEiNormaltoCombat You may as well give up, I see you there. TG05Goodbyes If you see Karliah, don't hesitate. Kill her. TG05Goodbyes That's enough of this unnecessary chatting, we need to keep going. TG05Goodbyes Let's get going. I want her head on my mantle. TG05Goodbyes Have your weapon at the ready. I'm certain Karliah knows we're here. TG05Goodbyes Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut. TG05Goodbyes When you're ready, meet me at Snow Veil Sanctum. TG05Goodbyes Some days I marvel that you haven't managed to blow yourself up. TG05Goodbyes What? Err, nothing! TG05Goodbyes What are you up to, Gane? Hmm? TG05Goodbyes Well, then. Fine. Have a nice day. TG05Goodbyes I'm busy right now, Colette. TG05Goodbyes Why should I want anything? Why can't I simply be sociable with my colleagues? TG05Goodbyes Ugh. What do you want? TG05Goodbyes How are you, Drevis? TG05Goodbyes Well then "observe" from a greater distance. You're making people uncomfortable. TG05Goodbyes My dear, I am merely observing the proceedings. TG05Goodbyes I've had yet another complaint. Please stop barging in on experiments in progress. TG05Goodbyes Ah, err, yes. Sorry. TG05Goodbyes Don't even talk to me, Gane. TG05Goodbyes Hello, Nirya. TG05Goodbyes Well, err, yes. Sorry to have troubled you. TG05Goodbyes Why, because I'm a Dunmer? We didn't all grow up in dwarven ruins, you know. TG05Goodbyes Yes, I just thought perhaps you'd have, err, come across something like this before. TG05Goodbyes If this is another dwarven trinket, I keep telling you I'm not familiar with them. TG05Goodbyes Do you think you might, err, have a moment to look at something for me? TG05Goodbyes Perhaps, but it just means more work for me. TG05Goodbyes At least it's more money for the College. TG05Goodbyes As always. The Nords don't ever stop wanting things enchanted. TG05Goodbyes Keeping busy, Sergius? TG05Goodbyes Good. Don't fail me. TG05Goodbyes One last thing, Irileth. This isn't a death or glory mission. I need to know what we're dealing with. TG05Goodbyes I've already ordered my men to muster near the main gate. TG05Goodbyes Irileth, you'd better gather some guardsmen and get down there. TG05Goodbyes Good work, son. We'll take it from here. Head down to the barracks for some food and rest. You've earned it. TG05Goodbyes No, my lord. It was just circling overhead when I left. I never ran so fast in my life... I thought it would come after me for sure. TG05Goodbyes Yes, my lord. TG05Goodbyes Everyone else, with me. TG05Goodbyes You two, stay and guard the entrance. We don't want any Stormcloak reinforcements taking us by surprise. TG05Hellos This better be important. TG05Hellos There's little time for talk, what do you want? TG05Hellos Yes, yes, what is it now? TG05Hellos You're quite noisy for someone who claims to be a thief. TG05Hellos Must you keep stopping? TG05Hellos What? What is it? TG05Hellos Glad the antidote is taking effect. TG05Hellos Quickly, what did you want? TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic Easy, easy. Don't get up so quickly. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic How are you feeling? TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01 No, I saved your life. My arrow was tipped with a unique paralytic poison. It slowed your heart and kept you from bleeding out. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01 Had I intended to kill you, we wouldn't be having this conversation. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01az I promise you, the thought crossed my mind. The poison on that arrow took me a year to perfect; I only had enough for a single shot. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01x My original intention was to use that arrow on Mercer, but I never had a clear shot. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01x I made a split second decision to get you out of the way and it prevented your death. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01x Farewell. I'll be certain to give Brynjolf your regards. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01y More than you'll ever realize. The poison on that arrow took me a year to perfect; I only had enough for a single shot. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01z Without the antidote I administered, you'd be as still as a statue. I treated your wounds and didn't leave you defenseless. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01z The poison on that arrow took me a year to perfect; I only had enough for a single shot and yet I used it on you. TG05KarliahIntroBranchTopic01zz All I had hoped was to capture Mercer alive. TG05KarliahIntroConBranch01 My purpose in using Snow Veil Sanctum to ambush Mercer wasn't simply for irony's sake. TG05KarliahIntroConBranch01 Before both of you arrived, I recovered a journal from Gallus's remains. I suspect the information we need is written inside. TG05KarliahIntroConBranch02 I wish I knew. The journal is written in some sort of language I've never seen before. TG05KarliahIntroConBranchTopic Mercer must be brought before the Guild to answer for what he's done. He needs to pay for Gallus's murder. TG05KarliahIntroOutBranchTopic Enthir... Gallus's friend at the College of Winterhold. Of course... TG05KarliahIntroOutBranchTopic It's the only outsider Gallus trusted with the knowledge of his Nightingale identity. TG05KarliahIntroOutBranchTopic01 There were three of us. Myself, Gallus and Mercer. We were a anonymous splinter of the Thieves Guild in Riften. TG05KarliahIntroOutBranchTopic01 Perhaps I'll tell you more about it later. Right now, you need to head for Winterhold with the journal and get the translation. TG05KarliahIntroOutBranchTopic01 Here, take these as well, they may prove useful for your journey. TG05MercerIntroBranchTopic Good, you're finally here. TG05MercerIntroBranchTopic I've scouted the ruins and I'm certain Karliah is still inside. TG05MercerIntroBranchTopic01 No, I found her horse. Don't worry, I've taken care of it... she won't be using it to escape. TG05MercerIntroBranchTopic01 Let's get moving, I want to catch her inside while she's distracted. Take the lead. TG05MercerIntroBranchTopic03 I'm sorry, I was under the impression I was in charge. TG05MercerIntroBranchTopic03 You're leading and I'm following. Does that seem clear to you? TG05MercerIntroBranchTopic04 Just make certain you keep your eyes open. Karliah is as sharp as a blade. TG05MercerIntroBranchTopic04 The last thing I need is you blundering into a trap and warning her that we're here. TG05MercerKarliahPursuitBranch01 I saw what they did to Gallus. I wanted to use the Guild's resources to hunt down Karliah. The others didn't even care he was gone. TG05MercerKarliahPursuitBranch01 Fortunately, I persevered and the other groups were either killed or they left Skyrim. TG05MercerKarliahPursuitBranch02 The infighting had taken months to subside which gave her time to go into hiding and carefully cover her tracks. TG05MercerKarliahPursuitBranch02 I spent thousands of septims and used every contact at my disposal, but it was as if she had simply vanished... like I said before, she was the best. TG05MercerKarliahPursuitBranchTopic The Guild was thrown into disarray. Several stepped up and tried to claim Gallus's former position as Guild Master. TG05MercerKarliahPursuitBranchTopic Sides quickly formed behind these men and the Ratway became a bloodbath. TG05MercerKarliahRelationshipBranchTopic She was a stubborn Dunmer... always had to do everything her way. TG05MercerKarliahRelationshipBranchTopic But she was also the best... bringing in more coin a month than some thieves heist in a year. TG05MercerKarliahRelationshipBranchTopic Gallus trusted her too much and let her get too close. TG05MercerKarliahRelationshipBranchTopic01 If you want to call it that, yes. Me? I think she was softening him for the kill. TG05MercerKarliahRelationshipBranchTopic01 Gallus would call her his "little nightingale." He was absolutely smitten by her. TG05MercerKarliahRelationshipBranchTopic02 Greed? Jealousy? Spite? Who can say what drove her to such an iniquitous act. TG05MercerKarliahRelationshipBranchTopic02 One thing's certain. I intend to find out before she draws her last breath. TG05MercerKillTopic I have a long-standing arrangement with the Dark Brotherhood. If I need someone in the Guild taken care of, we do it ourselves. TG05MercerKillTopic We both agree it's best to keep these matters in house. TG05MercerRuinsStoryBranchTopic Twenty-five years ago I was standing outside these very same ruins. Gallus told me to meet here but he wouldn't say why. TG05MercerRuinsStoryBranchTopic When I arrived, Gallus stepped from the shadows. Before he uttered a sound an arrow pierced his throat. TG05MercerRuinsStoryBranchTopic Before I could even draw my blade, her second arrow found its mark in my chest. TG05MercerRuinsStoryBranchTopic01 Karliah was a master marksman and her greatest weapon was the element of surprise. I was lucky... she missed my heart by mere inches. TG05MercerRuinsStoryBranchTopic01 I staggered away from the ruins and my vision began to blur. It's then that I realized the bitch had poisoned her arrows. TG05MercerRuinsStoryBranchTopic02 The last thing I saw was Karliah dumping his body into a opening atop the ruins; an unceremonious end for a remarkable man. TG05MercerRuinsStoryBranchTopic02 To this day I've regretted allowing her to escape, even if it meant I had died trying. I owed Gallus that much. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch01 Preposterous! That research represents years of personal toil in some of the most dangerous Dwemer ruins in Skyrim! TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch01 You must be mad to think I'd allow anyone to see it before it's completed. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch01a Well, I'm not blind to the fact that you've been instrumental in improving my affairs of the heart. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch01a If you wish, you may enter my tower to view the museum section, but I'm afraid the laboratories are still off limits. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch01a That's the best I can offer. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch01a I've already provided you a key to the museum. You should consider it an honor. Few are allowed to browse my collection. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch01a I'm sorry, but that's as far as my generosity extends. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch02 I'm not certain how many scholars you're accustomed to dealing with, but I can assure you that personal wealth is our lowest priority. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch02a What kind of a mentor would I be if I denied a potential student a glimpse at his master's ingenuity! TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch02a Here, this key will provide access to my museum. Feel free to browse for as long as you wish. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch02a However, I must insist that my laboratory remains strictly off limits. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch02a While I appreciate the sentiment, I still have to decline. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch02a Being an admirer, I'm sure you can appreciate the need to keep my research a secret. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch02b Do you realize that at a snap of my fingers I can bring the entire Markarth city guard to my defense? TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch02b You best rethink this course of action or you may find yourself on the executioner's block. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranch03 Very well. Perhaps when my research is complete, I'll feel more comfortable discussing my findings with you. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic Then you were well informed. I am at this very moment on the cusp of completing my magnum opus on the subject. TG06CalcelmoIntroBranchTopic I'm calling it "Calcelmo's Guide to the Falmer Tongue." It will revolutionize the way we understand those ancient beings. TG06EnthirAncientFalmerTopic Besides the fact that there are only a handful of people in Tamriel that even recognize the language? TG06EnthirAncientFalmerTopic I'm fairly certain he was planning some sort of a heist that involved a deep understanding of the Falmer language. TG06EnthirAncientFalmerTopic Sadly, we never had the opportunity to speak about the details. TG06EnthirAncientFalmerTopic01 Ironically, I pointed him in the same direction I pointed you. To Markarth and Calcelmo. TG06EnthirAncientFalmerTopic01 I'm only hoping whatever means he used to learn the language will still be available to you. TG06EnthirFalmerBranchTopic In the time before man, they were known as the snow elves. They lived in the sunlight and had a very prosperous society. TG06EnthirFalmerBranchTopic01 Like the Altmer? Yes, I would say their culture quite possibly rivaled our own. TG06EnthirFalmerBranchTopic02 The Nords went to war with the Falmer in the First Era. Killed them by the thousands to drive them from their snowy homeland. TG06EnthirFalmerBranchTopic02 The Falmer retreated underground and forged an uneasy alliance with the dwarves who ended up betraying them. TG06EnthirFalmerBranchTopic02 This betrayal made them what they are now... horrible blind monstrosities with a burning hatred of any but their own kind. TG06EnthirFalmerFollowUpBranchTopic Yes, I suppose you're right. Forgive me. I've lost several close friends to the Falmer and it tends to distort my view. TG06EnthirFalmerFollowUpBranchTopic01 Why shouldn't I? The Falmer have killed more than a fair share of my acquaintances. They're animals... they show absolutely no pity or remorse. TG06EnthirFalmerFollowUpBranchTopic02 Good. I lost more than a few acquaintances to the Falmer and I wish to see them avenged. TG06EnthirFalmerFollowUpBranchTopic03 If you wish to learn more about them, you're welcome to my tome on the subject. Should be on my table. TG06EnthirGallusBackgroundBranchTopic He was a dear friend of mine and a surprisingly astute pupil of academia... I was devastated when he was killed. TG06EnthirGallusBackgroundBranchTopic I suppose that risk always coexisted with his line of work, I just never thought his luck would run out. TG06EnthirGallusBackgroundBranchTopic01 Well, for the thrill of course. TG06EnthirGallusBackgroundBranchTopic01 He was quite clear that he felt more in his element climbing through a window rather than hunched over a dusty tome. TG06EnthirGallusBackgroundBranchTopic02 Ah yes, quite an amusing anecdote actually. I caught him trying to break into my laboratory. TG06EnthirGallusBackgroundBranchTopic02 I was about to show him the error of his ways when he made a curiously astute comment about my research notes. TG06EnthirGallusBackgroundBranchTopic02 I was astounded and in turn it lead to a conversation. Who'd have imagined it would lead to such a strong friendship? TG06EnthirIntroBranch05 A problem? Let me see it. TG06EnthirIntroBranch05 This is just like Gallus. A dear friend, but always too clever for his own good. TG06EnthirIntroBranch05 He's written all of the text in the Falmer language. TG06EnthirIntroBranch06 No. However, I know someone who might. TG06EnthirIntroBranch06 The court wizard of Markarth, Calcelmo, may have the materials you need to get this journal translated. TG06EnthirIntroBranch06 A word of warning. Calcelmo is a fierce guardian of his research. Getting the information won't be easy. TG06EnthirIntroBranchTopic Karliah? Then she's finally found it. TG06EnthirIntroBranchTopic Do you have Gallus's Journal? TG06EnthirOutroBranchInitial01 I undertstand. Now, let me take a good look at this. Over here, please. TG06EnthirOutroBranchInitialTopic I suppose it would be inappropriate of me to ask how you obtained this, so I simply won't. TG06EnthirOutroBranchInitialTopic A rubbing, eh? Odd. I expected notes. TG06EnthirOutroBranchInitialTopic Another soul for the master! TG06EnthirOutroBranchInitialTopic Hmm? What is it? TG06EnthirOutroBranchInitialTopic If I am to die today, so be it. But you'll not soon forget the Dark Brotherhood. TG06EnthirOutroBranchInitialTopic Go, boys! Attack! TG06EnthirOutroPostSceneBranchTopic Listen, all I want is the truth to be revealed to the Guild. They respected Karliah, and she deserves better. TG06EnthirOutroPostSceneBranchTopic Do whatever you can and I'd consider it a personal favor. TG06EnthirOutroPostSceneBranchTopic01 If trying to rid yourself of stolen goods becomes a burden, and you find yourself in Winterhold, visit me at the College. TG06EnthirOutroPostSceneBranchTopic01 I've been known to handle items of questionable interest from time to time and I'll see what I can do. TG06EnthirOutroPostSceneBranchTopic01 If you ever manage to gain entry to the College, and you find trying to rid yourself of stolen goods becoming a burden, come visit me. TG06EnthirOutroPostSceneBranchTopic01 I've been known to handle items of questionable interest from time to time and I'll see what I can do. TG06Goodbyes Remember, speak only to Enthir. Trust no one else. TG06Goodbyes If you have further need of me, you can find me in the College. TG06Goodbyes Calcelmo is stubborn as a mule. Be careful when you speak to him. TG06Goodbyes Be careful. TG06Goodbyes I hope you enjoy touring the museum. Just don't touch anything. TG06Goodbyes Oh, be certain to purchase my Falmer translation tome when it's completed! TG06Goodbyes Now, stand aside, there's work to be done. TG06Goodbyes Try not to disturb me in the future, I'm in the midst of groundbreaking research! TG06Hellos Shhh. Listen to Enthir... we can't afford to miss a single detail. TG06Hellos We haven't much time for discussion, but what did you need? TG06Hellos Let's listen to Enthir's translation before we decide what we do. TG06Hellos Please, there isn't much time. What is it? TG06Hellos Please, make it brief. We have much to do. TG06Hellos Back, eh? And how was our friend Calcelmo? TG06Hellos Was there something else? TG06Hellos Yes, yes. What is it? TG06Hellos Can I help you with anything else? TG06Hellos Ah yes, my matchmaker. What is it I can do for you? TG06Hellos Look, I'm very busy, so this better be important. TG06Hellos I've already provided you with the key to my museum, what else could you possibly want? TG06Hellos What is it this time? TG06Hellos This better be important. TG06Hellos How interesting. It appears Gallus's history has repeated itself. TG06Hellos Karliah has provided me with the means to be rid of you, and this ancient tomb becomes your final resting place. TG06Hellos But do you know what intrigues me the most? The fact that this was all possible because of you. TG06Hellos You're a clever girl, Karliah. Buying Goldenglow Estate and funding Honningbrew Meadery was inspired. TG06Hellos I'm no fool, Mercer. Crossing blades with you would be a death sentence. TG06Hellos But I can promise the next time we meet, it will be your undoing. TG06Hellos Enough of this mindless banter! TG06Hellos Did you forget the Oath we took as Nightingales? Did you expect him to simply ignore your methods? TG06Hellos Gallus had his wealth and he had you. All he had to do was look the other way. TG06Hellos Not quick enough, otherwise Gallus would still be alive. TG06Hellos You always were a quick study. TG06Hellos "To ensure an enemy's defeat, you must first undermine his allies." TG06Hellos It was the first lesson Gallus taught us. TG06Hellos Give me a reason to try. TG06Hellos Do you honestly think your arrow will reach me before my blade finds your heart? TG06Hellos Dragonborn! TG06Hellos Shor's blood, the Thu'um! TG06Hellos Are you Dragonborn? TG06Hellos By the gods, is that the Voice? TG06Hellos Wow! TG06Hellos That must be the Voice! TG06Hellos What in Arkay's name was that? TG06Hellos That sound... it's deafening! TG06Hellos Could that be... the Voice? TG06Hellos Those words have such power! TG06Hellos What sort of power was that? TG06Hellos That was amazing! TG06Hellos The Voice? Here? TG06Hellos That sound could bring mountains down! TG06Hellos You have a mighty voice! TG06Hellos That voice is power! TG06Hellos Louder than the roar of the Mane, that is! TG06Hellos S'rendarr's mercy! TG06Hellos Are you a Greybeard? TG06Hellos Did anyone else hear that? TG06Hellos Brother Umurn is a strong warrior. I look forward to fighting him for chiefdom one day. TG06Hellos By the gods, my ears... TG06Hellos One day, I intend to be chief. I will fight my father and my brother for it, as is tradition. TG06Hellos That gave me the shivers! TG06Hellos Now that's a real man! TG06Hellos I serve my chief and my brothers by working in the mines. It's the only place fit for an aging Orc. TG06Hellos Oh gods, my ears! TG06Hellos Sorry, outlander, but this old Orc cannot help you. Burguk is the chief here. TG06Hellos Not so loud! TG06Hellos I don't know how Ghorbash has so much spirit. He should act his age. TG06Hellos I haven't heard a true shout in generations! TG06Hellos I used to wander the corners of Skyrim like you. I miss those days. TG06Hellos Now that's the true Voice! TG06Hellos We honor the bravest fighters, but I have seen many types of bravery in my travels. TG06Hellos How did you do that? TG06Hellos I am an Orc and a warrior, but I have no desire to become chief. TG06Hellos What was that? TG06Hellos Damn shame, Roggvir. You were a good man. TG06Hellos That makes Twenty-Three. TG06Hellos Talos protect you. TG06Hellos Roggvir. You damn fool. TG06Hellos I'm going to find whoever did this. TG06Hellos Kynareth preserve us. TG06Hellos Better this one than me. TG06Hellos Agh! Dead body! TG06Hellos Poor bastard's better off. TG06Hellos What a waste. TG06Hellos Another corpse for the pile. TG06Hellos Such a shame. TG06Hellos Damn shame. TG06Hellos Dead? Oh my goodness! TG06Hellos Shouldn't leave things around to trip over... TG06Hellos Oh my word, this is terrible. TG06Hellos Agh! Who did this? TG06Hellos Another poor soul lost. TG06Hellos Dead? How did this happen? TG06Hellos Oh... what happened? TG06Hellos Your muscles ripple when you work the forge. It's pleasing. TG06Hellos Thank you, my chief. TG06Hellos It's simple Orc smithing practice, my chief. Nothing that hasn't been passed down for years. TG06Hellos The way you and your mother forge weapons is impressive. TG06Hellos I am honored. TG06Hellos Malacath is pleased with your strength, Larak. TG06Hellos You are speaking to Larak, chief of Mor Khazgur. TG06Hellos You should see my forge-wife, Shuftharz, if you need weapons or armor. TG06Hellos My mother, Sharamph, knows many remedies you may wish to take with you. TG06Hellos I'm a strict follower of the old traditions. Honor, strength, deeds. TG06Hellos My place is chief and my challenge is to lead my people. TG06Hellos I have poisons for your weapons, and cures for your ills. TG06Hellos Poisons can kill your enemies faster than any blade. TG06Hellos Do not allow Ataxia to fester. A smart warrior keeps a potion to cure diseases at all times. TG06Hellos If you wish to trade, see me during daylight. TG06Hellos I am wise woman to this stronghold. TG06Hellos Our chief is strong. That is all that matters. TG06Hellos You should see my mother, Sharamph, if you need a cure or a poison. TG06Hellos Shuftharz can forge you some armor, outlander. TG06Hellos Malacath protect you. TG06Hellos Larak is strong, but he has much to prove as chief. TG06Hellos You need some armor, outlander? TG06Hellos How about an axe? Malacath smiles on the axe-wielder. TG06Hellos We can trade in the morning, outlander. TG06Hellos The forge is strong and so is our chief, Larak. I'm content. TG06Hellos My son, Olur, learns the forge well. His work brings me pride. TG06Hellos I envy you, outlander. You can choose to leave if you wish. TG06Hellos Soon, I will be of age. The taste is bitter. TG06Hellos Perhaps I'll join the Legion one day, as my father had done. TG06Hellos I work in the forge and the mines. Mother says it pleases her and our people. TG06Hellos Even good hammers warp metal if struck without care. TG06Hellos Mother tells me to shape metal with focus and strength. TG06Hellos Patience, my son. The hunter days not welcome the blood of his prey, he waits for it. TG06Hellos Ah, the air is good today. I welcome the smell of blood from all the kills I will make. TG06Hellos Yes, mother. I'm eager to prove my skills today. TG06Hellos The air has the smell of beasts. The hunt is good today. TG06Hellos Serving in the Legion taught me to respect leadership. The stronghold needs Burguk. TG06Hellos You could challenge Burguk, my brother. Yours is the stronger swordarm. TG06Hellos This metal will serve the forge well, my brother. TG06Hellos It is a fine day to work the mines. TG06Hellos Oh, thank you my chief! TG06Hellos No, my wife. You have been given other gifts to please your chief than mine work. I will talk to Gharol and all will be well. TG06Hellos My chief, Gharol threatens to have me work in the mines. You won't allow my pretty hands to dirty, will you? TG06Hellos No more talk of Shel. As chief, I will do what I please, so point your fiery gaze to our enemies. TG06Hellos Do they, my chief? Am I now favored enough to replace Shel by your side at the feast? Back your words with action! TG06Hellos I saw you working the forge today, wife. Your muscles have grown strong from the metal shaping! TG06Hellos He is pleased. Ours is the strongest tribe in all the Reach. TG06Hellos Tell me, mother, does Malacath favor our stronghold? TG06Hellos You speak to Burguk, chief of Dushnikh Yal. TG06Hellos You need steel? Speak to my forge-wife, Gharol. TG06Hellos Need a poison for your hunting? My mother, Murbul, knows several. TG06Hellos This stronghold respects strength, and strength alone. TG06Hellos Orc poisons are to be feared, if you wish to trade. TG06Hellos I have an old cure for Rockjoint. Common in little Orc children. TG06Hellos If you wish to trade, wait for the sun to rise. TG06Hellos I am Burguk's mother and wise woman to our tribe, outlander. TG06Hellos Malacath rewards the strong and punishes the weak. TG06Hellos Murbul knows many poisons and cures if you need them. TG06Hellos You should see Gharol if you're looking for a blade or armor. TG06Hellos I am the hunts-wife of this stronghold. TG06Hellos Burguk is a fine chief. He brings strength and wealth to the stronghold. TG06Hellos You wish to trade in Orc steel? TG06Hellos Strong gauntlets for strong hands. TG06Hellos Blades to kill your prey and your rivals. TG06Hellos We can trade when there's light outside. TG06Hellos I'm Burguk's forge-wife. I shape all the steel for the stronghold. TG06Hellos As forge-wife, I'm also in charge of our mine. TG06Hellos I am Burguk's favored wife. He knows my beauty should be praised. TG06Hellos Arob and Gharol eye me with envy. They don't know how to please their chief. TG06Hellos Umurn and Nagrub will be held up as weak next to the son I will one day bear for my chief. TG06Hellos I work the forge, with my mother Gharol. We mine our own ore and shape our own metal. TG06Hellos One day I will shape a weapon fit for a chief. Maybe that chief will be me. TG06Hellos I help in the mines as well as the forge. TG06Hellos One day, I must fight my brother Nagrub for chiefdom. It will not be easy. TG06Hellos I help my mother Arob with the hunt. We bring much meat and skins to the stronghold. TG06KarliahGoAloneViewTopic I'm afraid not. There are preparations to make and Gallus's remains to lay to rest. TG06KarliahGoAloneViewTopic I promise to join you there as soon as I can. TG06KarliahMercerGallusBranchTopic He was a scholar, a master thief and a natural leader. Everyone respected him and followed him without question. TG06KarliahMercerGallusBranchTopic It was Gallus who inducted me into the Nightingales and honed my skills to a razor sharp point. I owe everything to him. TG06KarliahMercerGallusBranchTopic We were... very close. TG06KarliahMercerGallusBranchTopic01 Gallus once said he felt comfortable around me; able to let his guard down. I can't help but think that I'm responsible for what happened to him. TG06KarliahMercerNoKillBranchTopic Mercer lied to the Guild, branded me a murderer and slandered my name across his network of contacts. TG06KarliahMercerNoKillBranchTopic For twenty-five years I ran, never sleeping in the same place twice and carefully covering my tracks. TG06KarliahMercerNoKillBranchTopic Mercer doesn't need to die... he needs to feel the cold sting of fate as his life crumbles in front of him and he's hunted by the Guild. TG06KarliahMercerNoKillBranchTopic This seems like a really bad idea to me. TG06KarliahMercerNoKillBranchTopic01 I can promise you if it comes to that, and my back's to the wall, I won't hesitate. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic We must hasten to Riften before Mercer can do any more damage to the Guild. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic03 You've come this far, so I see no harm in concealing it any longer. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic03 The Twilight Sepulcher is the temple to Nocturnal. It's what the Nightingales are sworn to protect with their lives. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04 Everything that represents Nocturnal's influence is contained within the walls of the Sepulcher. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04 Now it seems Mercer's broken his oath with Nocturnal and defiled the very thing he swore to protect. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04a I'll make for Riften and scout the situation; see if I can discover what Mercer's up to. When you're ready, meet me at the Ragged Flagon. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04a In the meantime, I wanted you to have this. It belonged to Gallus, but given the circumstances I think he'd approve. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04b I felt the same way when Gallus first revealed these things to me. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04b I think given time, you'll understand what I mean. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c As a Nightingale, I've been sworn to secrecy regarding the Sepulcher. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c I know the Guild doesn't do much to foster faith, but I'm going to have to ask that you continue to trust me. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c It's alright Karliah. You don't have to say a word. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c I'm sorry Enthir, I can't say. All that matters is we deliver your translation to the Guild immediately. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c Farewell, Enthir... words can't express... TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c I'm not familiar with the Twilight Sepulcher. What is it? What's Mercer Frey done? TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c Shadows preserve us. So it's true... TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c The last few pages seem to describe "the failure of the Nightingales" although it doesn't go into great detail. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c Gallus also repeatedly mentions his strong belief that Mercer desecrated something known as the Twilight Sepulcher. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c Hmm. Yes, here it is. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c Anything else, Enthir? Anything about... the Nightingales? TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c Yes. Gallus seems certain that Mercer had been removing funds from the Guild's treasury without anyone's knowledge. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c Does the journal say where this wealth came from? TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c It appears that Gallus had suspicions about Mercer Frey's allegiance to the Guild for months. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c Gallus had begun to uncover what he calls an "...unduly lavish lifestyle replete with spending vast amounts of gold on personal pleasures." TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic04c Hmm. This is intriguing, but highly disturbing. TG06KarliahOutroBranchTopic08 If the Guild isn't willing to listen to reason, you might have to. TG06_dunMarkarthWizardsQuartersQST_Flee Ugh... damn thing. TG06_dunMarkarthWizardsQuartersQST_Flee Just... stay back. TG06_dunMarkarthWizardsQuartersQST_Flee Back off. TG06_dunMarkarthWizardsQuartersQST_Flee Can't trust these things. TG06_dunMarkarthWizardsQuartersQST_Flee Beem! What are you doing? TG07BreakInBranchTopic Good question. I've only set foot inside a few times myself and that was in Mercer's company. TG07BreakInBranchTopic If you can get past his trained watchdog, I think your best bet might be the ramp to the second floor balcony in his backyard. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Because war is good for business, of course. TG07BreakInBranchTopic And what makes you think that? TG07BreakInBranchTopic The war? That is not a reason to leave, it is a reason to stay. TG07BreakInBranchTopic That may be, but what of the war? That is not so easy to escape from. TG07BreakInBranchTopic I admit, the dragons are a concern, but we can avoid them if we do not stay in one place for too long. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Between the war and the return of the dragons, I wonder if we should not leave Skyrim and ply our trade elsewhere. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Hm. I had not thought of it that way. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Hah, you have the foresight of a Khajiit in a sandstorm. If we offer a discount to both sides, the winners will persecute us for helping the losers. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Both. One or the other is bound to win the war eventually. Why not curry favor now, so that the victor will look upon us kindly? TG07BreakInBranchTopic The soldiers? From which side, the Stormcloaks, or the Imperials? TG07BreakInBranchTopic I wonder if we should offer discounts to the soldiers. TG07BreakInBranchTopic And we will lose customers. Let us hope that if there are dragons, there are only a few and they are not too foul-tempered. TG07BreakInBranchTopic I feel pity for these Nords. When the dragons attack cities and towns, they will lose everything. TG07BreakInBranchTopic We are fortunate. We travel lightly, and can escape at a moment's notice. We have no home that a dragon can burn to the ground. TG07BreakInBranchTopic S'rendarr be merciful! What ill fortune that this should happen now, while we are trying to make a living. TG07BreakInBranchTopic I wish I could say that I did not, but in every part of Skyrim, there is talk of dragon sightings. It is no coincidence. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Do you believe all this talk of dragons? Can the ancient ones truly have returned? TG07BreakInBranchTopic As the saying goes, you do not need to be faster than the dragon; you need only be faster than your friends. TG07BreakInBranchTopic I suppose if we do, we will find out just how fast each of us can run. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Moons protect us! I hope we do not encounter one of them on the road. TG07BreakInBranchTopic All this talk of dragons returning to the world makes me more than a little nervous. TG07BreakInBranchTopic That is true. Perhaps I should be more grateful for this opportunity. Not many Khajiit can say that they have visited Skyrim. TG07BreakInBranchTopic In truth, I do not. I have always dreamed of seeing new lands, and it does not hurt that we are making a good profit. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Do you ever find that you regret making this journey? TG07BreakInBranchTopic Yes, I know just what you mean. My toes are numb from the cold more often than not. TG07BreakInBranchTopic We have been in this land for so long, I have forgotten what it feels like to walk on warm sand. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Hah! I wish that I had your optimism. TG07BreakInBranchTopic It is a pity, but it cannot be helped. Perhaps if we continue to show that we can be trusted, they will open their cities to our caravans. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Not only that, but these Nords have no love for us. They look upon us and see only thieves and smugglers. TG07BreakInBranchTopic I feel the same. I do not think Khajiit were made for the cold. TG07BreakInBranchTopic It has been a profitable journey, and yet I long for the warm sands of Elsweyr more and more each day. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Put the thought out of your mind, and do not speak of it again. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Yes, of course you are right. Still, I would give much for even a few grains of moonsugar. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Control yourself! Do not frighten away our customers with your fits. TG07BreakInBranchTopic My ears hear the truth in your words, and yet my body shakes with the need. TG07BreakInBranchTopic You know that our supply is limited. It could be a season or more before we get a new shipment from the south. TG07BreakInBranchTopic My bones ache for the moonsugar. It has been too long since I tasted it. TG07BreakInBranchTopic If the river is not frozen to ice, perhaps. TG07BreakInBranchTopic The road takes us past many cold rivers. We can fill our skins there. TG07BreakInBranchTopic Soon it will be time to replenish our supply of water. TG07BreakInBranchTopic01 No. It's some sort of crazy contraption Mercer commissioned for quick escapes. TG07BreakInBranchTopic01 I'd wager a well-placed shot at the ramp's mechanism would lower it in a hurry. TG07BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic00 Look, before I have you help track Mercer down I need to know what you learned from Karliah. I mean everything. TG07BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic00a Aye. I feared that was the case. From that last entry in Gallus's diary, it looks like he was getting close to exposing Mercer to the Guild. TG07BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic00a Anything else? TG07BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic00b What? Nightingales? But, I always assumed they were just a tale... a way to keep the young footpads in line. TG07BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic00b Was there anything else she told you? TG07BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic00c Trying to make Mercer look bad in front of Maven, eh? Clever lass. TG07BrynjolfIntroBranchTopic00c Was there anything else? TG07BrynjolfIntroConBranchTopic Then I have an important task for you. TG07BrynjolfIntroConBranchTopic I need you to break into Mercer's home and search for anything that could tell us where he's gone. TG07BrynjolfIntroConBranchTopic01 Aye. A gift from the Black-Briars after they kicked the previous family out... place called Riftweald Manor. TG07BrynjolfIntroConBranchTopic01 He never stays there, just pays for the upkeep on it. Hired some lout by the name of Vald to guard the place. TG07BrynjolfIntroConBranchTopic02 Be careful, lad. This is the last place in Skyrim I'd ever want to send you. TG07BrynjolfIntroConBranchTopic02 Be careful, lass. This is the last place in Skyrim I'd ever want to send you. TG07BrynjolfIntroConBranchTopic03 Just find a way in, get the information and leave. And you have permission to kill anyone that stands in your way. TG07BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic We've scoured the town and I've spoken to every contact we have left. No sign of Mercer. TG07BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic Any luck on your end? TG07BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic01 Shor's beard! He's going after the Eyes of the Falmer? That was Gallus's pet project. TG07BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic01 If he gets his hands on them, you can be certain he'll be gone for good and set up for life. TG07BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic02 Agreed. He's taken everything the Guild has left, and to go after one of the last greatest heists is just an insult. TG07BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic02 I've spoken to Karliah, and made amends for how the Guild's treated her. Now she wishes to speak with both of us. TG07BrynjolfOutroBranchTopic02 Quickly, we have no time to lose. TG07Goodbyes Hang on Mercer! I'm coming to help! TG07Goodbyes See ya' round. TG07Goodbyes This is gettin' dangerous. Don't let anythin' get the jump on you. TG07Goodbyes While you're in there, help yourself to anything in Frey's manor. I would. TG07Goodbyes Careful at Mercer's place, I don't want to lose anyone else to that madman. TG07Goodbyes I'll watch for Mercer, just get the information we need. TG07Goodbyes Come on, we need to show the journal to the Guild. TG07Goodbyes If you find Mercer, give no quarter... kill him and be done with it. TG07Hellos The time for talk has passed. We must hurry. TG07Hellos Quickly, what is it? TG07Hellos I can't believe this is happening, lad. TG07Hellos I can't believe this is happening, lass. TG07Hellos Just take a step back and let me figure this out. Then we'll talk. TG07Hellos Can't talk.... I'm outta' here. TG07Hellos This is Mercer Frey's place and he don't like visitors. Now go away. TG07Hellos I dare Mercer to come back here! He sets one foot in the cistern and I'll cut it off! TG07Hellos Look at that dark elf whore... strutting around like she's innocent. I'll cut her open from gullet to groin! TG07Hellos I never saw this coming, I thought we were just having a run of bad luck. TG07Hellos So it's true. You've turned traitor. I can't believe it. TG07Hellos I hope he turns up soon... he needs to answer for his betrayal. TG07Hellos I won't rest until Mercer's dead. How could he murder Gallus and betray all of us like that? TG07Hellos If you don't have a good reason to be partnered with Karliah, you're dead. TG07Hellos How can Karliah remain so calm when Mercer had her on the run for that long? Amazing. TG07Hellos They say that Karliah murdered Gallus, but I'm not so sure. TG07Hellos If I find Mercer first, I'm going to crush his skull with my bare hands! TG07Hellos They're waiting for you in the cistern. No tricks. TG07Hellos Punishment's too good for Mercer Frey. The only penalty for his betrayal is death. TG07Hellos Vex is ready to tear you apart. I hope you have a good excuse for bringing Karliah here. TG07Hellos There's no doubt Mercer will make for the borders of Skyrim. I hope you find him before he escapes our grasp. TG07Hellos I heard what happened and the Guild owes you thanks for bringing this to light. TG07Hellos I can't believe he emptied the vault. Right from under our noses. TG07Hellos How dare you bring that Dunmer bitch here. TG07Hellos Vex better leave a piece of Mercer for us. It's payback time. TG07Hellos What in blazes is going on? Are you working with Karliah? TG07Hellos Ah, yes. Of course. No, I don't need anything. TG07Hellos I'm here to help you with books, Nirya. That's all. TG07Hellos Did she, perhaps, mention any dangerous research she might be working on? Anything that could get her in trouble? TG07Hellos Nirya... TG07Hellos I was wondering. Has Faralda been in recently? Borrowed any books that you can recall? TG07Hellos Can I help you with anything, Nirya? TG07Hellos What's that? Oh yes, yes. Thank you, I will. TG07Hellos Ah. Well, then. Let me know if you need anything. TG07Hellos Hmm? Oh, no. No, not really. I... Actually, I've forgotten what I was looking for. TG07Hellos Are you looking for any specific volumes, Drevis? TG07Hellos Amazed isn't the right word. They might find this... offensive. TG07Hellos I bet your family would be amazed, right? TG07Hellos I'm surprised that the College is allowed to excavate here. TG07Hellos Can you believe we're here? Saarthal, of all places. TG07Hellos My sweet Leanora, I will never let anything happen to us. I promise. TG07Hellos I've already lost a family, and we're about to start a new one. I don't want that to happen again. TG07Hellos It brings me joy to hear that, but what possessed you to say that so suddenly? TG07Hellos My darling, you've made me the happiest woman in all Skyrim. TG07Hellos Just worry about keeping the fields tended and let the Jarl worry about the war. TG07Hellos I suppose so. I just fear they won't make it out here in time. TG07Hellos It will have to do. Besides, if it came to blows, I'm sure the Snow-Shod's would come out here and assist us. TG07Hellos I'm not so sure the few guards they've assigned to the farm are enough. TG07Hellos Yes, thank you Arch-Mage. TG07Hellos Everything's under control, then? Right. Keep up the good work. TG07Hellos There were also two items requiring disciplinary action recently. TG07Hellos I'm dealing with a few new research proposals, evaluating the results of three long-term projects, and keeping an eye on our new Apprentices. TG07Hellos Is there anything new I should be aware of, Mirabelle? TG07Hellos Never. The College cannot become mired in local politics. What happens inside these walls is our worry. What happens outside is theirs. TG07Hellos Forgive me, but at what point does it become our concern? TG07Hellos The same thing we've told them before, and the same thing we've told these Stormcloaks. It's not our concern. TG07Hellos Sir, the Imperial Legion has again requested assistance. What shall I tell them? TG07Hellos Ah, yes. True. Well, thank you. TG07Hellos Your schedule is always clear, Arch-Mage. I see to that. TG07Hellos Mirabelle, would you please make sure my schedule is clear for the next few days? I'm working on something important. TG07Hellos "Disappointed" is not the word I would choose, Colette. Excuse me. TG07Hellos Oh, my dear Urag. You're trying so hard to help. I do hope you're not disappointed. TG07Hellos So, you don't need anything then. TG07Hellos I'm positive whatever I require will be revealed to me on its own, in due time. TG07Hellos Was there something specific you needed? TG07Hellos Don't fret, my fanged acquaintance. I shan't trouble you a bit. TG07Hellos I... see. TG07Hellos I only wish to escape the constant glaring of my "colleagues" and discover an opportunity for repose. Your Arcanaeum is so lovely and quiet... TG07Hellos Did you need something, Colette? TG07Hellos Ah, my dearest Urag! How are you today, my green-skinned friend? TG07Hellos This is why I avoid being social. TG07Hellos Oh! Well... I... I'm sorry. Yes, we have been working on something together. TG07Hellos Calm down! Why are you over-reacting? I was going to ask if the two of you are collaborating on research! TG07Hellos What? Why, the audacity! How dare you imply such a thing! TG07Hellos You've been spending a fair bit of time with Sergius lately, I see. TG07Hellos If you say so. TG07Hellos Oh, no. Err, wouldn't do to say at all. Not, err, not now. Not at all. I have far too many things to do still. TG07Hellos Right. And what did you say the point of this little venture was? TG07Hellos Oh, that. Err, yes. It's... It's quite promising, I believe. Definitely on the right track. Results, err, results should be soon. TG07Hellos So, Arniel. How's that little project of yours coming along? Any progress worth mentioning? TG07Hellos See that you do. TG07Hellos Ahh, hmm. Yes. I, err, I was unaware that I had forgotten that. I will, err, I mean I'll take care of that as soon as possible. TG07Hellos And that, my nervous little friend, has not happened. Would you care to comment on that, perhaps? TG07Hellos Really, Arniel? Because I seem to recall doing just that for you recently, at which point you assured me that you'd cover my expenses. TG07Hellos Yes, err, apologies for the intrusion. I was wondering, err, if you could possibly, ah, procure a few select items for me. TG07Hellos What is it? TG07Hellos Err, excuse me Enthir. Might I have a moment? TG07Hellos Yes, Arch-Mage. Thank you. TG07Hellos No, I don't think so. Respond to their request, and we'll leave it at that. TG07Hellos Should we consider investigating the matter? TG07Hellos That hasn't changed, has it? Then just tell them again. TG07Hellos That they had arrived, asked for information which was provided to them, and went on their way with no suggestion of further interaction. TG07Hellos What did you tell them last time? TG07Hellos Arch-Mage, the Synod have contacted us again, asking if we've any word on their researchers. What shall I tell them? TG07Hellos Stabbed in the back. It's like the Dark Brotherhood all over again. TG07Hellos Can't talk long, got to keep my eyes open for Mercer. TG07Hellos Hold your thoughts 'til after we untangle this mess. TG07Hellos If I see Frey, I'll pluck his eyes from his skull with my bare hands! TG07Hellos Need to stay focused in case Frey comes back, make it fast. TG07Hellos We can talk after I find out what's going on. TG07Hellos I'm relieved Brynjolf has an open mind or that could have gotten bloody. TG07Hellos How can I help? TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic I'm glad you're here. I think some of these people are beginning to suspect who I am. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic Are you ready to face the Guild? TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic Are you finished your other business and ready to face the Guild? TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic By the Eight! It's gone, everything's gone! Get in here, all of you! TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic I've used my key, but the vault's still locked up tighter than a drum. Now use yours. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic Use your key on the vault, Delvin. We'll open it up and find out the truth. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic What's she on about? TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic He didn't need to pick the lock. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic That door has the best puzzle locks money can buy. There's no way it can be picked open. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic It says Mercer's been stealing from our vault for years. Gallus was looking into it before he was murdered. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic What's in that book? What did it say? TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic Wait just a blessed moment, Bryn. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic It's true, Brynjolf. Every word. Mercer's been stealing from the Guild for years, right under your noses. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic There's only one way to find out if what the lass says is true. Delvin, I'll need you to open the Vault. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic This can't be true. I've known Mercer too long... TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic No, it... it can't be. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic I have Gallus's journal. I think you'll find its contents disturbing. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic Now what's this so-called proof you speak of? TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic No tricks, Karliah or I'll cut you down where you stand. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic Please, lower your weapons so we can speak. I have proof that you've all been misled! TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic You better have a damn good reason to be here with that murderer. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic01a Keep your eyes open. I'm not sure what to expect when we enter the cistern. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic01b Then we show them Gallus's journal and hope for the best. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic01b Remember, we have proof and all he's got is his word. TG07KarliahInitialBranchTopic01c Time is of the essence here, please hurry back. TG07KarliahVaultBranchTopic All I can tell you for now is that he's abused his authority as a Nightingale. TG07KarliahVaultBranchTopic01 As a Nightingale, I took an oath and was sworn to secrecy. TG07KarliahVaultBranchTopic01 Be patient and your time will come. TG07ValdBranchTopic That pig? Oh, I have info on him. More than you care to know. TG07ValdBranchTopic01 Vald? Good side? I think you have the wrong person. TG07ValdBranchTopic01 The only thing Vald understands is gold. A man after my own heart. TG07ValdBranchTopic02 Sure, but he'll ask for a whole lot. I mean, you are asking him to betray Mercer Frey. TG07ValdBranchTopic02 Your best bet would be to erase his debt with Maven Black-Briar. If you talk to her, she might be able to give you the details. TG07ValdBranchTopic02 Of course, you could just run him through and take what you need off of his corpse... I could care less. TG07ValdDebtFoundBranchTopic I don't know how ya' talked Maven into letting me go, and I don't care. TG07ValdDebtFoundBranchTopic You did something for me, I'm gonna do something for ya'. Here, take the key to Mercer's house. Won't need it any more. TG07ValdDebTopic Of mine? What is it? TG07ValdDebTopic No visitors. No way. Now piss off, before ya' make me mad. TG07ValdDebTopic00 But I can't leave here! I'm supposed to watch his house. What do I do? TG07ValdDebTopic00 Oh come on, I ain't that dumb. TG07ValdDebTopic00a Wow, sure is nice of ya'. Here, hang on to the key and don't let anyone in! TG07ValdDebTopic01 I can't believe it! How did ya' talk her into this? TG07ValdDebTopic01 Never mind, I don't care. I'm just glad I don't gotta' work for Maven anymore. TG07ValdDebTopic01 Here, ya' did me a favor, I guess I owe you one. TG07ValdDebTopic01 You ain't got enough coin to make my problems go away unless ya' can talk Maven Black-Briar into letting me outta' my debt. TG07ValdDebTopic01 You try and set one foot in this yard, and I'll cut it off. TG07ValdDebTopic02 Ha ha! That's funny. Ya' think you can take me on? Try it anytime. I've been itching for a fight. TG07VaultBranchTopic Better question would be "what did he leave." TG07VaultBranchTopic Mercer took everything. Even all of our plans are gone. TG07VaultBranchTopic01 I don't have a clue. That door is impenetrable. TG07VaultBranchTopic01 Without two keys, it's impossible to open. I have a key, Delvin has a key, and Mercer has a key. That's it. There are no other copies. TG07VaultBranchTopic02 Before Mercer took over, Gallus started collecting every bit of material he could on locations the Guild could heist. TG07VaultBranchTopic02 Museums, keeps, estates... you name it. By the time Mercer took over the Guild we must have had a few dozen. TG07WatchdogBranchTopic That'd be Vald. A real piece of work, that one. TG07WatchdogBranchTopic Mercer's holding something over his head, keeping him loyal. TG07WatchdogBranchTopic Talk to Vex. She used to know him very well... if you catch my meaning. TG08AAcceptLeaderBranchTopic Then it's decided. When this entire sorry affair is over, we'll handle the details. TG08AAcceptLeaderBranchTopic Until then, we have quite the task ahead. TG08AAcceptLeaderBranchTopic Then it's decided. When this is all over and Delvin's contacts assure me that we've regained our footing in Skyrim, we'll handle the details. TG08AAcceptLeaderBranchTopic Until then, we have quite the task ahead. TG08AAcceptLeaderBranchTopic01 I've been pouring over the plans you brought us, and I'm convinced the Eyes of the Falmer are in the dwarven ruins at Irkngthand. TG08AAcceptLeaderBranchTopic01 Karliah and I will meet you there. Prepare yourself, lad. This will be a fight to remember! TG08AAcceptLeaderBranchTopic01 I've been pouring over the plans you brought us, and I'm convinced the Eyes of the Falmer are in the dwarven ruins at Irkngthand. TG08AAcceptLeaderBranchTopic01 Karliah and I will meet you there. Prepare yourself, lass. This will be a fight to remember! TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic01 It's my hope that you will, yes. TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic01 This is Nightingale Hall. You're the first of the uninitiated to set foot inside in over a century. TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic01 This isn't about religion, Brynjolf... it's business. TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic01 I'm trying to understand why I'm here, lass. I'm no priest, and I'm certainly not religious. Why pick me? TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic01 What's wrong, Brynjolf? I can almost hear your brow furrowing. TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic01 The assumption that the Nightingales were just a myth was seeded within the Guild on purpose. TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic01 It helped avert attention from our true nature. TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic01 So, this is Nightingale Hall. I heard about this place when I joined the Guild, but I never believed it existed. TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic04 This isn't about religion or destiny. This is nothing more than a business transaction between yourself and Nocturnal. TG08ABecomeNightingaleBranchTopic04 Consider this an extremely risky job but with a massive potential for profit, and you'll do fine. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic Listen, lad. There's one last piece of business we need to settle before we go after Mercer... the leadership of the Guild. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic Listen, lass. There's one last piece of business we need to settle before we go after Mercer... the leadership of the Guild. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic I have two others that wish to transact the Oath; to serve you both in life and in death. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic Lady Nocturnal, we accept your terms. We dedicate ourselves to you as both your avengers and your sentinels. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic We will honor our agreement in this life and the next until your conditions have been met. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic My Lady, I've come before you to throw myself upon your mercy and to accept responsibility for my failure. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic I call upon you Lady Nocturnal, Queen of Murk and Empress of Shadow... hear my voice! TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1a Karliah and I had a long discussion before you arrived here. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1a Thanks to your efforts, the Guild's been restored to it's full strength and you've exposed the traitor in our midst. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1a As a result, we both feel that you'd make an excellent replacement for Mercer as leader of the Thieves Guild. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1a Karliah and I had a long discussion before you arrived here. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1a Thanks to your efforts, Mercer's treachery has been exposed. After we deal with him, all that remains is restoring the Guild to its full strength. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1a As a result, we both feel that you have the potential of replacing Mercer as leader of the Thieves Guild. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1b I've been at this game a long time, my friend. A long time. I've stolen trinkets from nobles and framed priests for murder. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1b I'm good at what I do, maybe even one of the best. But it's all I know. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1b I've never been one to lead. Never desired it, never cared for it. Don't want it. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1c Well, we have a bit of an errand to run before your coronation, so don't get sentimental on me now. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1d Ha! Spoken like the leader of the Thieves Guild. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1d Just don't lose yourself in the role. We have a bit of an errand to run before your coronation. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1e Look. Everyone in the Guild admires what you've done. Maybe they won't come out and simply tell you, but I promise you it's true. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1e And now they know Mercer never genuinely cared about the Guild. He lacked the loyalty you obviously possess. TG08ABrynjolfPostOathBranchTopic1e I can't think of anyone better. TG08AGoodbyes If you wish to talk, I'll be here for a bit. TG08AGoodbyes Proceed down the hall to the gate when you're ready. TG08AGoodbyes This way, please. TG08AGoodbyes Please hurry, we need to catch Mercer before he leaves Skyrim. TG08AGoodbyes Until next we meet, lad. TG08AGoodbyes Until next we meet, lass. TG08AGoodbyes Revenge? How interesting... TG08AGoodbyes Very well, the conditions are acceptable. You may proceed. TG08AGoodbyes My appetite for Mercer's demise exceeds my craving for wealth, Your Grace. TG08AGoodbyes Very well. I name your initiates Nightingale and I restore your status to the same, Karliah. TG08AGoodbyes And in the future, I'd suggest you refrain from disappointing me again. TG08AGoodbyes You surprise me, Karliah. This offer is definitely weighted in my favor. TG08AGoodbyes You're already mine, Karliah. Your terms were struck long ago. What could you possibly offer me now? TG08AGoodbyes Ah, Karliah. I was wondering when I'd hear from you again. Lose something did we? TG08AHellos I suggest you talk to Karliah first. She has some news that'll turn your stomach. TG08AHellos Time's wasting and Mercer's still out there. Let's get this show on the road. TG08AHellos This is enough to make your head spin, eh? TG08AHellos I think we should trust the lass and take the deal. TG08AHellos I'm just as puzzled as you, lad. TG08AHellos I'm just as puzzled as you, lass. TG08AHellos I think we can trust Karliah. Let's see what she's on about. TG08AHellos I have some preparations of my own to make. I'll meet you at the stone. TG08AHellos Not now, lad. Karliah said it was important. TG08AHellos Not now, lass. Karliah said it was important. TG08AHellos We'll speak when the Oath is complete. TG08AHellos You appear ready for the Oath. TG08AHellos You appear hesitant to don your Nightingale Armor. What's troubling you? TG08AHellos It's just ahead. Please, keep following. TG08AHellos I'm preparing to leave for the standing stone. What is it? TG08AHellos I promise you, all your questions will be answered. You just have to trust me. TG08AHellos Just outside of Riften, beyond the Southeast Gate is a small path cut up the mountainside. TG08AHellos At the end of that path is a clearing and an old standing stone. I'd ask you both meet me there. TG08AHellos Then it's all true... everything I heard in the stories. The Nightingales, their allegiance to Nocturnal and the Twilight Sepulcher. TG08AHellos We have to be very careful, Brynjolf. Mercer is a Nightingale, an Agent of Nocturnal. TG08AHellos Aye, lass... and I've come to a decision. TG08AHellos Mercer Frey tried to kill both of you, he betrayed the Guild, murdered Gallus and made us question our future. He needs to die. TG08AHellos Brynjolf, the time has come to decide Mercer's fate. Until a new Guild Master is chosen, the decision falls to you. TG08AKarliahInitialBranchTopic I'm glad you're here. TG08AKarliahInitialBranchTopic01 If you'll follow me, I'll try to explain on the way. TG08AKarliahInitialBranchTopic02 This is the headquarters of the Nightingales, cut into the mountainside by the first of our kind. TG08AKarliahInitialBranchTopic02 We've come to seek the edge we need to defeat Mercer Frey. TG08AKarliahOutroExtBranchTopic Very true. In our line of work, it's quite rare we set out to return a stolen item to its rightful owner. TG08AKarliahOutroExtBranchTopic01 Before we depart, Brynjolf has some business to discuss. I suggest you listen to him. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Now that you've transacted the Oath, it's time to reveal the final piece of the puzzle to you; Mercer's true crime. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Maybe there's something on the claw itself that could help us. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Looks like the door will open if we turn these rings the right way. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Uh oh! Look out! TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Careful! I wouldn't do that again unless you know for sure it's going to open. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Hmm... what is that? Some kind of stone claw? I wonder what it's used for. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic See what you can figure out auxillary, I'm going to check out these carvings over here. Let me know if you find something. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Even if these carvings tell us where the crown is, I'm sure we're going to have to find a way through this door. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Looks like we weren't the first ones here, either. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic One thing at a time soldier. Focus on our primary mission. We're searching for the crown. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Too bad we can't read these carvings. Who knows what secrets we'd uncover? TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic Oh... I've heard of this. These walls are supposed to show the history of the ancients who built this place. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic And this must be the Hall of Stories. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic01a Mercer was able to unlock the Guild's vault without two keys because of what he stole from the Twilight Sepulcher... the Skeleton Key. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic01a By doing this, he's compromised our ties to Nocturnal and in essence, caused our luck to run dry. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic02 Well, yes. But the Key isn't only restricted to physical barriers. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic02 All of us possess untapped abilities; the potential to wield great power, securely sealed within our minds. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic02 Once you realize the Key can access these traits, the potential becomes limitless. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic03a Although it would benefit the Guild more than you can imagine, in the end, it would do more harm than good. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic03a Gunnar, take care of the boy. I have to find General Tullius and join the defense. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic03b I'm afraid that's impossible. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic3c Good, then you understand why this is about more than just Mercer's lust for power. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic3d If the Key isn't returned to its lock in the Twilight Sepulcher, things will never be the same for the Guild. TG08AKarliahPostOathBranchTopic3d As time passed, our luck would diminish to the point of non-existence. And whether you know it or not, our uncanny luck defines our trade. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic What about you? Are you ready to transact the Oath with Nocturnal? TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic Aye, there's always a catch. But at this point, I suppose there isn't much to lose. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic If it means the end of Mercer Frey, you can count me in. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic The terms are quite simple, Brynjolf. Nocturnal will allow you to become a Nightingale and use your abilities for whatever you wish. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic And in return, both in life and in death, you must serve as a guardian of the Twilight Sepulcher. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic01 Good. After I open the gate, please stand on the western circle. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic02 By transacting the Oath with Nocturnal, you're entering into a business deal. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic02 You'll be provided all of the power and knowledge befitting a Nightingale. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic02 You're free to use those powers as you see fit to further your own goals or the goals of the Thieves Guild. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic03 In return, you'll be required to defend the Twilight Sepulcher and everything within when the need arises. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic03 More importantly, upon your death, your spirit will be bound to the Twilight Sepulcher as one of its guardians. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic04 Once the Oath has been struck, the terms are binding. TG08AKarliahPreOathQuestionBranchTopic04 Knowing this, are you ready to undergo the ceremony? TG08AKarliahWhatsGoingOnBranchTopic From the moment you were struck with my poisoned arrow at Snow Veil Sanctum, my path changed its course. TG08AKarliahWhatsGoingOnBranchTopic Perhaps I couldn't bring Mercer back alive, but together, we were able to clear my name and to put Gallus's memory to rest. TG08AKarliahWhatsGoingOnBranchTopic I'd always intended Mercer's fate to ultimately be decided by the Guild, and it seems they've spoken. TG08BBrynjolfEyesBranchTopic A few years before Mercer murdered Gallus, the Guild took in a thief who specialized in dwarven antiquities. TG08BBrynjolfEyesBranchTopic The thief had broken into a nobleman's home somewhere in Windhelm and made off with a small figurine of a snow elf with crystalline eyes. TG08BBrynjolfEyesBranchTopic01 Aye, that's what the Falmer were known as long ago... before they became the blind monstrosities they are today. TG08BBrynjolfEyesBranchTopic01 When Gallus took one look at this statue, he knew it was something special. He took it right up to Enthir at the College of Winterhold. TG08BBrynjolfEyesBranchTopic01 Didn't take long for Enthir to find a book in the college's library that told of Irkngthand and a great statue with gemmed eyes within. TG08BBrynjolfEyesBranchTopic02 Not just ordinary gems. They're said to be flawlessly cut and as big as a man's head. Can you imagine how much they're worth? TG08BBrynjolfEyesBranchTopic02 Gallus and Mercer spent the better part of a month infiltrating Irkngthand, but the dwarves had protected the place far too well. TG08BBrynjolfEyesBranchTopic02 There were just too many obstacles blocking the way. The plans were shelved and the rest is history. TG08BBrynjolfMercerBranchTopic If you would have asked me that yesterday, I'd have said no. But now I think our chances have improved. TG08BBrynjolfMercerBranchTopic Look, call me crazy if you like, but I trust Karliah. I don't think she'd lead us down a suicidal path. TG08BBrynjolfMercerBranchTopic Besides, I'd rather die with some of Mercer's blood on my blade than spend the rest of my life regretting that I ran the other way. TG08BBrynjolfNightingaleBranchTopic Aye, and some of what Karliah said is starting to make sense. TG08BBrynjolfNightingaleBranchTopic Mercer may have damaged our reputation and raided our coffers, but this goes well beyond even his twisted form of larceny. TG08BBrynjolfNightingaleBranchTopic Old Delvin kept calling it a curse and we all laughed at him. Looks like the joke's on us. TG08BHellos Let's get out of here before we end up like Mercer! TG08BHellos Aye, there will be blood today. I can promise you that. TG08BHellos Crime is one thing, murder is another. Mercer will answer for this. TG08BHellos I'd just assume die before I'd let Mercer get those gems. TG08BHellos Do the Falmer also have no sense of smell? This place reeks! TG08BHellos The Eyes would go a long way in helping get the Guild back on its feet. TG08BHellos I can't wait to get my hands around that bastard's neck. TG08BHellos By Talos, Mercer has a lot to answer for. TG08BHellos This place is coming down. Let's get out of here! TG08BHellos With any luck, this will be Mercer's final day alive. TG08BHellos This place, it's like a maze. How did the dwarves find their way around? TG08BHellos This is just like old times. TG08BHellos Keep as quiet as you can. The Falmer may be blind, but they can still hear us. TG08BHellos If Mercer leaves here with the Eyes, we'll never see him again. TG08BHellos We have to get the Key back. TG08BHellos Mercer's here. I can feel it. TG08BHellos Be careful, there's no telling what lurks within these walls. TG08BKarliahAccompanyBranchTopic We're right behind you. TG08BKarliahAccompanyBranchTopic Lead on, we're ready. TG08BKarliahAccompanyBranchTopic We're with you. TG08BKarliahAccompanyBranchTopic Will do. Don't stray too far away or else we'll come after you. TG08BKarliahAccompanyBranchTopic No problem, but if you get too far away, we're going to catch up. TG08BKarliahAccompanyBranchTopic All right, but don't wander ahead too far or else we'll be forced to come find you. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Mercer's been here, I hope we aren't too late. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic He can't treat me like that. He needs me. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Rulindil, pah! One day, the shoe will be on the other foot. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic I knew he was telling the truth. I always can tell. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic They're scared of the dragons, too, aren't they? Paying too well. They don't know anything. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Etienne must know something related to the dragons... who else might know? Greasy Thom... no, they'd see right through him... TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic That would probably be best. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Now get out! TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic No, no. I'll... I'll wait outside. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic You'd like to come downstairs with me, is that it, Gissur? TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Shall we loose his bonds and put you in a cell together? You can ask him anything you like, and see how he answers. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Can I... I could help you. He'd talk to me. He trusts me. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Everyone talks, in the end. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Now, I have work to do. Leave me to it, if you ever want to see the rest of your payment. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic So he has talked! I knew it! TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic You'll get the rest of your money when we confirm his story. As agreed. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic But no one else has brought you such valuable information, have they? TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Etienne, he's talked, hasn't he? He knows where that old man is you're looking for, he told me himself. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Do not presume, Gissur. You are most useful, but do not presume. We have other informants who are less... offensive. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic Silence! TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic I have my own expenses you know... TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic But, I need that money! I earned it. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic01 We should tread carefully. I wouldn't be surprised if he's left behind a few surprises for us. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic02 Brynjolf and I found them like that. Mercer's doing. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic02 We have to catch up to him before it's too late. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic02 The museum is opening, Madena. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic02 It's the past! Dead oaths on dead lips. Let it stay there. TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic02 Why should I hide from it? This is my family's legacy! TG08BKarliahIntroBranchTopic02 Your ancestors wouldn't want this, Silus! TG08BKarliahMercerBranchTopic With the Skeleton Key missing from the Twilight Sepulcher, I'm afraid Mercer's seen to it that none of us can benefit from Nocturnal's gifts. TG08BKarliahMercerBranchTopic01 You merely transacted the Oath; signed the unwritten contract with Nocturnal. TG08BKarliahMercerBranchTopic01 In order for us to receive our abilities... our end of the bargain, I'm afraid the Key must be returned. TG08BKarliahMercerBranchTopic02b If Nocturnal was truly displeased with me... with any of us, she wouldn't have answered my call. TG08BKarliahMercerBranchTopic02b I have no doubt that we still hold her favor and I believe it gives us enough of an edge to defeat Mercer Frey. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic I can't believe it's over. Twenty-five years in exile and just like that, it's done. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic All that remains is to ensure the safe return of the Skeleton Key. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic Maybe they're so scared of you they ran away. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic I don't like it. What are they waiting for? TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic No, but I know they're out there. No other way they can come. Now shut it or you'll ruin our ambush. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic You hear anything? TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel! TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic "I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter." TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man! TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic Terrible and powerful Talos! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment! TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise! TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic Tomorrow. I'll let you know tomorrow. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic Come on now, we discussed that. I wouldn't be traveling all of Skyrim. It'd just to Whiterun and back, that's it. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic Oh, I don't know. Yes, we'd make more money, but I don't like the idea of you traveling alone out there with the war and talk of dragons. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic Have you given my idea any more thought? You said you'd let me know yesterday, and that obviously didn't happen. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic That dark elf wants to go on ahead, let him. Better than us risking our necks. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic So we're just supposed to sit here while Arvel runs off with that golden claw? TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic No. Not again. Help! TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic01 I'm afraid it's not that simple. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic01 When the Skeleton Key was stolen from the Twilight Sepulcher, our access to the inner sanctum was removed. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic01 The only way to bring it back will be through the Pilgrim's Path. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic02 It wasn't created for the Nightingales. It was created to test those who wished to serve Nocturnal in other ways. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic02 As a consequence, I have no knowledge of what you'll be facing. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic03 Brynjolf is needed back at the Thieves Guild to keep order while you're away. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic03 And I... I can't bear to face Nocturnal after my failure to protect the Key. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic03 I'm afraid you'll have to face the end of your journey alone. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic04 Take this with you. I'm not certain if it will help within the walls of the Sepulcher, but I certainly don't need it as much as you. TG08BKarliahOutroBranchTopic04 I've had this bow almost my entire life, and it's never let me down. I hope it brings you the same luck. TG08BMercerOutroBranch01 What's Karliah been filling your head with? Tales of thieves with honor? Oaths rife with falsehoods and broken promises? TG08BMercerOutroBranch01 Nocturnal doesn't care about you, the Key or anything having to do with the Guild. TG08BMercerOutroBranch02 Revenge is it? Have you learned nothing from your time with us? TG08BMercerOutroBranch02 When will you open your eyes and realize how little my actions differ from yours? Both of us lie, cheat and steal to further our own end. TG08BMercerOutroBranch02a Wait a moment... do I detect a hint of genuine avarice from this noble thief? TG08BMercerOutroBranch02a Perhaps Karliah and Brynjolf misjudged you and your true nature is no different than my own. TG08BMercerOutroBranch02a He's no longer abusing the power of the Eye. I would've expected all this to stop. TG08BMercerOutroBranch02a And yet... TG08BMercerOutroBranch02a You've done it! You've beaten him! TG08BMercerOutroBranch03 Then it appears the shadows shroud more than your presence... they blind your wisdom as well. TG08BMercerOutroBranch03 Our actions have always been one in the same; both of us lie, cheat and steal to further our own end. TG08BMercerOutroBranch04 It's clear you'll never see the Skeleton Key as I do... as an instrument of limitless wealth. TG08BMercerOutroBranch04 Instead you've chosen to fall over your own foolish code. TG08BMercerOutroBranch05 Then the die is cast, and once again my blade will taste Nightingale blood! TG08BMercerOutroBranchTopic When Brynjolf brought you before me I could feel a sudden shift in the wind. TG08BMercerOutroBranchTopic And at that moment, I knew it would end with one of us at the end of a blade. TG08BNightingaleHallBranchTopic Yes. Now that you're a Nightingale, you may consider this your home. TG08BNightingaleHallBranchTopic You'll find that this place offers many things that will help you in your endeavors as well as a wealth of information for you to learn. TG08BNightingaleHallBranchTopic Once the Skeleton Key has been restored to the Twilight Sepulcher, I'll make this place my home as well. TG08BTrapBranchTopic Mercer's been careful so far. I don't think he'd just leave those plans behind unless he had his reasons. TG08BTrapBranchTopic For someone in possession of the Skeleton Key, stealing the Eyes of the Falmer would be child's play. TG08BTrapBranchTopic No, he means to ambush us down here, I'm almost certain of it. TG08BTrapBranchTopic The lass seems to think old Mercer is pulling a fast one on us... leading us here and letting the dwarven constructs wear us down. TG08BTrapBranchTopic I've learned to trust her lead at this point. After all, we Nightingales need to stick together, eh? TG08BTrapBranchTopic No! Noooooo! TG08BTrapBranchTopic *cough* TG08BTrapBranchTopic *cough* TG08BTrapBranchTopic *gasp* TG09EbonmereBranchTopic The conduit to Nocturnal's realm, the realm of Evergloam, has been in Skyrim... well, longer than recorded history. TG09EbonmereBranchTopic The Twilight Sepulcher was constructed around it by man and mer in order to shield it from those who would exploit its power. TG09EbonmereBranchTopic It's through this conduit that we're given Nocturnal's greatest gift, our luck. What she gains in return is a complete mystery. TG09GallusFinalIntroBranchTopic Nothing would bring me more pride than to return the Key, but I'm afraid it's impossible. TG09GallusFinalIntroBranchTopic From the moment I arrived here, I've felt myself... well... dying. TG09GallusFinalIntroBranchTopic00 Karliah... she's still alive? TG09GallusFinalIntroBranchTopic00 I feared she'd befallen the same fate, ending up a victim of Mercer's betrayal. TG09GallusFinalIntroBranchTopic01 The Sepulcher isn't merely a temple or a vault to house the Key. Within these walls is the Ebonmere... a conduit to Nocturnal's realm of Evergloam. TG09GallusFinalIntroBranchTopic01 When Mercer stole the Key, that conduit closed, severely limiting our ties to her. TG09GallusFinalIntroBranchTopic03 I'm afraid so. I'm weakening, and I can feel myself slipping away. The years without restoration of my power have taken their toll. TG09GallusFinalIntroBranchTopic03 Whatever damage has been caused can only be corrected by following the Pilgrim's Path to the Ebonmere and replacing the Key. TG09GallusHistoryBranchTopic The Ebonmere is a conduit through which Nocturnal influences our world. Not through magic or blessings, but purely through luck. TG09GallusHistoryBranchTopic01 Yes, absolutely. Your skill is your own... don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. TG09GallusHistoryBranchTopic01 But Nocturnal, she influences our luck; nearly imperceptible assistance we get when we ply our trade. TG09GallusHistoryBranchTopic02 Think about the Guild... about the state it was in when you began. Think about all the little things you might have heard. TG09GallusHistoryBranchTopic02 A pick breaking when it shouldn't have, the clouds in the nighttime sky clearing at the wrong moment... TG09GallusHistoryBranchTopic02 Our access to those bits of luck are what separates us from common bandits. TG09GallusHistoryBranchTopic03 Precisely. There are a few who still call Nocturnal "Lady Luck" and for good reason. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic The Key! You have the Skeleton Key! I never thought I'd see it again. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic And Mercer Frey? TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Dishonored Skald at the Bards College, in Solitude. Accept his gold, then eliminate the target. So begins a contract, bound in blood. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Indolent Farmer at the Vilemyr Inn, in Ivarstead. Accept his gold, then kill the target. So begins a contract, bound in blood. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Griefstricken Chef, at the Windpeak Inn, here in Dawnstar. Accept his gold, then eliminate the target. Hail the Listener! Hail Sithis! TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Unemployed Laborer at the Frostfruit Inn, in Rorikstead. Accept his gold, then kill the target. So begins a contract, bound in blood. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Yet another child has prayed to their mother. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a But our work is just beginning. Approach me, Listener, and hear my words. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Were I able to provide it, I'd shower you in wealth for what you've done. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a My only regret is that you had to undertake this task alone. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a That burned paper is all that remains of the fabled Mysterium Xarxes. The blasphemous book written by Mehrunes Dagon himself. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a It's said that Mankar Camoran used the book to open a portal to a Paradise where all his followers would live forever. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a The tapestries hung here and outside were found in hideouts where members of the Mythic Dawn would meet and plot. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a The cult's greatest accomplishment was the assassination of the Septim Dynasty and the opening of the Oblivion Gates. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a The Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes were written by the Mythic Dawn cult leader, Mankar Camoran. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a He promised a paradise awaited his followers when they died, that they would be reborn by Mehrunes Dagon's side. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Those robes were worn during the Mythic Dawn's secret meetings, where they plotted to bring the Daedra Mehrunes Dagon into Tamriel. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Each bolt of yarn used to make the robe was colored with a dye made from sacrificial blood. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Feel free to look around. Come talk to me when you're ready to discuss that job I mentioned. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Hold, comrades - let us counsel take before battle is blindly joined. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a At long last! Alduin's doom is now ours to seal - just speak the word and with high hearts we'll hasten forth to smite the worm wherever he lurks. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Nervous Patron at Candlehearth Hall, in Windhelm. Accept his gold, then kill the target. So begins a contract, bound in blood. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Wary Outlaw at the Bee and Barb, in Riften. Accept his gold, and then eliminate the target. So begins a contract, bound in blood. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Corrupt Agent at the Penitus Oculatus Outpost, in Dragon Bridge. Accept his gold, then kill the target. Hail Sithis! TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Scheming Servant at the Keep in Markarth. Accept his gold, then eliminate the target. So begins a contract, bound in blood. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Desperate Gambler at the Barracks, in Windhelm. Accept his gold, then eliminate the target. So begins a contract, bound in blood. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01a Speak with the Blasphemous Priest at the Temple of Kynareth, in Whiterun. Accept his gold, then kill the target. Hail Sithis! TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01c You've done the Guild a great deed. And although they may not show it, I'm certain they appreciate your sacrifices. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01c My only regret is that you had to undertake this task alone. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01d That's quite a noble sentiment for someone in our... well, in your line of work. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic01d My only regret is that you had to undertake this task alone. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic02 Then... it's over and my death wasn't in vain. TG09GallusIntroBranchTopic02 I owe you a great deal, Nightingale. TG09GallusKeyTakeBranchTopic Whatever is affecting the Nightingale Sentinels is starting to affect me too. TG09GallusKeyTakeBranchTopic As I get closer to the Ebonmere I begin to feel myself slipping away. TG09GallusKeyTakeBranchTopic Even right this moment, I feel strange... when I don't think I should be feeling anything at all. TG09GallusPilgrimsPathBranchTopic I wish I could help you, but I've been a prisoner in this very chamber for the last quarter century. TG09GallusPilgrimsPathBranchTopic The only possible help I've come across are the remains of some poor fellow who was trying to follow in your footsteps. Perhaps his journal can help? TG09GallusSentinelsTopic01 With the Ebonmere closed, and their sudden severance from the realm of Evergloam, I fear they've undergone a drastic change. TG09GallusSentinelsTopic01 They're shadows of their former selves. They no longer remember their true purpose or their original identities. TG09GallusSentinelsTopic02 My spirit didn't manifest itself in the Sepulcher immediately, so fortunately I wasn't present when the Ebonmere was sealed. TG09GallusSentinelsTopic02 However, ever since that day, I've felt my power waning... slowly draining away. TG09Goodbyes Good luck, Nightingale. TG09Goodbyes Choose your path and your journey will be complete. TG09GoWithBranchTopic I've been a Nightingale for a very long time. I sold my allegiance to Nocturnal in exchange for many profitable years of thieving. TG09GoWithBranchTopic Falling in love with Gallus was wrong. It was a distraction that allowed the Sepulcher to be desecrated and it likely cost him his life. TG09GoWithBranchTopic Until the Key is returned, I will never set foot inside that place again. TG09GoWithBranchTopic Right now, the Guild needs someone to maintain order. Everyone is awaiting the news of Mercer's demise; it couldn't be a more precarious time. TG09GoWithBranchTopic I also need to reassure Maven that it's business as usual without Mercer... and that a new Guild Master will soon be taking over. TG09GoWithBranchTopic01 Listen, lad. I have faith in you. I know that sounds strange coming from a thief, but these recent events have changed my perspective. TG09GoWithBranchTopic01 Listen, lass. I have faith in you. I know that sounds strange coming from a thief, but these recent events have changed my perspective. TG09GoWithBranchTopic02 I can't think of anyone better suited to return the Key. Just remember to keep your eyes open and walk true with the shadows. TG09Hellos Yes, my friend? How may I help? TG09Hellos Yes, fellow Nightingale? TG09KarliahEndingBranchTopic Now, your life as a Nightingale begins. Should the need arise, you'll be summoned to the Sepulcher in order to defend it. TG09KarliahEndingBranchTopic01 The Guild has welcomed me back with open arms. I feel like a void in my life has finally been filled. TG09KarliahEndingBranchTopic01 I only hope that this isn't an ending to things, but actually the beginning. TG09KarliahEndingBranchTopic02 Why, perhaps the greatest crime spree Skyrim's ever known. TG09KarliahEndingBranchTopic02 There are pockets brimming with coin and coffers overflowing with riches ripe for the picking. TG09KarliahEndingBranchTopic02 We may be Nightingales, but in our hearts we're still thieves and we're damn good at what we do. TG09KarliahInfosBranch02Topic The Agent of Subterfuge utilizes shadow to cloud the judgement of those around him. TG09KarliahInfosBranch02Topic By weaving the darkness to their will, this agent can manipulate others into fighting for the Nightingale for a limited time. TG09KarliahInfosBranch03Topic This Agent of Strife can send forth a tendril of pure darkness into the heart of another, causing great injury to them. TG09KarliahInfosBranch03Topic At the same time, this tether will bolster the agent's own life force, making him stronger. TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic The Agent of Stealth is the master of remaining unseen. They are able to manipulate the darkness and use it to their advantage. TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic On moonlit nights or in darkened rooms, this agent literally becomes invisible. TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic I return from the war to find my home overrun with bandit filth. TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Those bastards. TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahInfosBranchTopic Ayarg garag gar! TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic I'm glad you were able to bring the Key back safely. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic Nocturnal seemed quite pleased with your efforts. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic Yeah. I'm glad we can finally stand down- getting tired of looking over my shoulder all the time. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic Well, it's all over now. Lieutenant said you could see the smoke from Whiterun. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic I think we'll all feel better once we're back out to sea. Won't be long now. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic Dragons, murder, rebellion... and we sail right into the middle of it with the Emperor on board. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic Gods, I'll be glad to see the last of Skyrim. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic Arniel, stay on your guard. We can't let harm come to these people. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic Please remain calm! TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic Everyone please, stand back! TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic Is he dead? TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic What's happened? He's not... TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic You'd better get out of that Stormcloak gear. Today's not the day to go around dressed like a rebel. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic01 I wouldn't take that to heart. It's her way. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic01 Think of her as a scolding mother continually pushing you harder to be successful; outwardly sounding angry but silently content. TG09KarliahIntroBranchTopic01 I assure you, had she been displeased with you, we wouldn't be having this conversation. TG09KarliahPowerBranchTopic The circles at the base of the Ebonmere imbue you with powers befitting a Nightingale Agent. TG09KarliahPowerBranchTopic The crescent moon represents the Agent of Shadow, the half moon for the Agent of Subterfuge and the full moon for the Agent of Strife. TG09KarliahPowerBranchTopic01 This is Nocturnal's way of maintaining balance. TG09KarliahPowerBranchTopic01 If you ever feel the need to change your abilities, you can return to the Sepulcher and step onto a different circle. TG09KarliahPowerBranchTopic01 Be warned that once you've chosen, you can't reselect for at least a day. TG09NDAlertIdle Your presence will be revealed. TG09NDAlertIdle You can't hide from the hidden. TG09NDAlertIdle Enough games, face your death! TG09NDAlertToCombat The shadows have betrayed you! TG09NDAlertToCombat The games have ended, time to face your death! TG09NDAlertToCombat Come mortal, let's end this here and now! TG09NDAlertToNormal A trick of the dark perhaps? TG09NDAlertToNormal Perhaps it was nothing... TG09NDAttacks Shadows take you!

TG09PilgrimsPathBranchTopic Even though Nocturnal doesn't desire worship in the traditional sense, the Twilight Sepulcher propagated a small group of priests. TG09PilgrimsPathBranchTopic Of course, they'd never come into direct contact with Nocturnal but they insisted they had her favor. TG09PilgrimsPathBranchTopic As part of their "duties," the priests created all sorts of baseless rituals and ceremonies all on Nocturnal's behalf. TG09PilgrimsPathBranchTopic01 These priests weren't threat to the Skeleton Key or the conduit to Nocturnal's realm, so they were tolerated. TG09PilgrimsPathBranchTopic01 One of their ceremonies involved the Pilgrim's Path, a so called "test of worthiness." TG09PilgrimsPathBranchTopic01 If a pilgrim was able to complete the path, it was said that they would become one with the shadows. What that means is anyone's guess. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic I don't recognize you, but I sense that you're one of us. Who are you? TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic You'll serve me soon enough. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic I have much to thank you for, little one. When you die I will raise you and you can take your place by my side. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic You've arrived at last. The hero who prevented me from being bound returns to my fold. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic You've arrived at last. The heroine who prevented me from being bound returns to my fold. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic01 The last of the Nightingale Sentinels, I'm afraid. I've defended the Sepulcher alone for what seems like an eternity. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic02 We were betrayed by one of our own kind. In fact, I'm to blame for what's happened here. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic03 I was blinded. Blinded by dark treachery masquerading as friendship. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic03 Perhaps if I had been more vigilant, then Mercer Frey wouldn't have lured me to my fate and stolen the Skeleton Key. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic04 I haven't heard that name in a long time. TG09PlayerInitialReactionBranchTopic04 How do you know of me? TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchOutroTopic That's it then. After all of those years of helplessly watching the Guild decline. TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchOutroTopic But enough of that... I'm confident that with you in charge, we'll soon have more gold than we could possibly spend. TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchOutroTopic01 I'll be down here, trying to coordinate everything with Delvin and Vex; to make sure the coin keeps flowing... and no one skims! TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchOutroTopic01 If you still feel like doing some jobs, I'm sure Delvin and Vex have more than their fair share to give out. TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchOutroTopic01 Either way, it's been a pleasure, my friend. Here's to the future of the Guild. May it last another thousand years! TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchTopic It's good to see you in one piece, lad! TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchTopic It's good to see you in one piece, lass! TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchTopic Olaf! TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchTopic Arise, Olaf! My vengeance is at hand! TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchTopic Insolent bard. Die! TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchTopic01 I just wanted to give you a proper thank you for everything you've done. TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchTopic01 The Guild is back on its feet again and on its way to a prosperous future. TG09PostBrynjolfGreetBranchTopic01 What's become of the Skeleton Key? TG09PostDefendBranchTopic If this place is in danger ever again, the shadows will call. TG09PostDefendBranchTopic Should the need arise, a portal connects the Sepulcher and Nightingale Hall. Use it whenever you wish. TG09PostFindBranchTopic I've decided to make my home at Nightingale Hall. Since it's your home as well, I hope to see you and Brynjolf there. TG09PostFindBranchTopic Of course, I may visit some of Skyrim's cities to "acquire" things from time to time. Can't afford to get rusty, now can we? TG09PostGallusBranchTopic Gallus's Oath has been paid. His actions have satisfied the terms. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic Now his spirit becomes one with the Evergloam... the realm of perpetual twilight and the cradle of shadow. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic Goodbye, Karliah. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic Farewell, Gallus. Eyes open... walk with the shadows. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic When your debt to Nocturnal has been paid, we'll embrace once again. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic Will I ever see you again? TG09PostGallusBranchTopic Nocturnal calls me to the Evergloam. My contract has been fulfilled. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic What will you do now, my love? TG09PostGallusBranchTopic If it were not for the actions of this Nightingale, your fears would have come true. He honors us all. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic If it were not for the actions of this Nightingale, your fears would have come true. She honors us all. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic I feared I would never see you again. I was afraid you'd become like the others. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic Gallus! TG09PostGallusBranchTopic Karliah? TG09PostGallusBranchTopic01 No, not gone... he's become one with the shadows. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic01 This is the greatest honor a Nightingale can possibly achieve. In death, he's become a part of that which we use to live. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic02 Absolutely. When we say "walk with the shadows," we are asking those Nightingales who have passed on to protect us. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic02 It's believed that they are literally what guides our uncanny luck... by placing their hands in ours. TG09PostGallusBranchTopic02 That's why the Ebonmere needed to be reopened. Without it, there's no way Nocturnal was able to allow them through. TG09PostGoodbyes Farewell. Eyes open and walk with the shadows. TG09PostHellos Yes, Nightingale, what is it? TG09PostHellos A moment, please. TG09PostHellos I wish to speak to Karliah for the moment. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Speak to Vex. We have nothing else to talk about. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic The Guild will not tolerate the kind of behavior you've been displaying. Too much is at stake. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic I'm taking you out of the game for now. No jobs will be offered and you won't be able to fence your goods. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Speak to Vex to make the proper reparations if you want back in. Now get out of my sight. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Until you're done with Vex, we don't have anything to discuss. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic You've done it now, whelp. You broke the rules and now you're knee deep in it. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic That means your out. No jobs, no payouts... no nothing. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic You want to get back into our graces, you need to talk to Vex. She'll set you straight. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Sorry. We got nothin' to talk about. Vex will straighten you out. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Are you crazy? What were you thinkin'? You can't just go around doin' things the way you please! TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Now we have to kick you out until things cool down. Can't give you any jobs or payouts for goods. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Go talk to Vex. She'll tell you the why's and how's if you want to get back in. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Until you get back into the Guild's graces, we have nothing to speak about. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Straighten yourself out with the Guild and then maybe we can talk. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Don't want to know what you did and I don't care. Just keep away from me. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic I may be new around here, but at least I know how to follow the rules. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Sorry, I'm not buying any goods until you straighten this out with Vex. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic I'll serve you after you've paid Vex. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic You better straighten things with the Guild or you won't be welcome here anymore. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Settle your accounts with Vex, and then we can talk. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Hmph. I don't talk with Guild traitors. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Pay your dues and we'll speak. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic It's a shame you got booted from the Guild... things were going so well. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Come back when you're in the Guild's good graces. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic You want my advice? Pay your debt to Vex quickly and she'll forget the whole thing. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic You're in it deep... better start shoveling your way out. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic I'm surprised you're even showing your face around here after what you did. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic And then I would wake up. And hope that it was just a dream... but know that it was not. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Then, finally, realization and horror arrive together. The orange is flame, heat. The sound a roar, a challenge in their ancient tongue. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic But now it's too late for escape. The dragon is upon me - fire and darkness descending like a thunderbolt. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic And not just any dragon, but the Dragon - Alduin, the World-Eater, the dragon who devours both the living and the dead. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic I want to leave my high place, to seek shelter. From what, I don't yet know. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic In the manner of dreams, I cannot escape. I'm forced to wait and watch. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Then it came again, this time more distinct. Closer. Definitely not lightning now. It was orange - brilliant orange, the color of hearth and dawn. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic And a sound, too. Distinct and indistinct. Not thunder... something else. Something I should recognize, but in the dream I cannot place it. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic Then came the flash of light - just on the horizon, within the clouds that mark the border between worlds. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic It could have been lightning, but there was no thunder. In the dream, the sense of foreboding grew, but I could never wake up. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic I used to dream of it. In the dream, I was standing... someplace high up... a tower, or mountain. TGBanDialogueBranchTopic It was always just before dawn. The whole world was in darkness. TGBanHellos I hope you come up with that gold soon. TGBanHellos You have the gold yet or what? TGBanHellos I believe you owe the Guild something. TGBanVexDoneBranchTopic And here I expected you to hop the next caravan to Morrowind. What have you got for me? TGBanVexDoneBranchTopic I hope you brought a little something for me. TGBanVexDoneBranchTopic First, let's count the coin, then we can get back to business. TGBanVexDoneBranchTopic01 It's all here. Well, congratulations. You're one of us again. TGBanVexDoneBranchTopic01 Next time you decide to pull a stunt like that again, just remember how much it hurt to give this away. TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic Well, well. If it isn't Brynjolf's little protege. TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic I'm going to make this short and sweet, because frankly I don't think you deserve another shot. TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic You've broken the rules and now you need to pay... and it's going to cost you quite a bit. TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic01 This is the Thieves Guild, genius. How do you think? With gold. A lot of gold. TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic01 Did you think we'd accept a heartfelt apology and let bygones be bygones? TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic02 I'd say it's time you put your nose to the grindstone and figure it out for yourself. You claim to be a thief... act like one. TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic02 Pick pockets, knock over houses... heck, I don't care if you have to bust into a palace. You do what you have to do to come up with the coin. TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic03 You'd better. Because until you do, you don't get a single coin from us... and you won't be able to use our fences. TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic03 Anything you steal, you bring it straight to me. TGBanVexIntroBranchTopic03 Now get out of here and don't come back until your pockets are full. TGBanVexIntroDoneOnceBranchTopic Again? Didn't we teach you enough of a lesson the first time? TGBanVexIntroDoneOnceBranchTopic I suppose it's tough for an old dog to learn new tricks. TGBanVexIntroDoneOnceBranchTopic Anyway, you know the drill. You want to buy back in, and it'll cost you. TGCrownFinalBranchTopic I knew you had it in you. After all, finding the Stones was no easy feat. TGCrownFinalBranchTopic Well, I'm not one to welch on a deal, so here's your reward. I hope you put it to good use. I know I have. TGCrownIntroBranchTopic Been a while since I've seen one of those. What you've got there is a Stone of Barenziah. TGCrownIntroBranchTopic01 Not like that it isn't. TGCrownIntroBranchTopic01 The stone was pried off of Barenziah's ceremonial crown by a thief in order to cover his tracks. TGCrownIntroBranchTopic02 I think there were twenty-four in all. Most people keep them as a curiosity. TGCrownIntroBranchTopic02 Some of the Guild members have tried to locate them over the years, but they haven't been successful... well, until now. TGCrownIntroBranchTopic03 Look, I only buy things I can turn around quickly for a profit. And no one wants those stones unless they have the whole set. TGCrownIntroBranchTopic03 Tell you what, if you find the rest of them, talk to me again. Otherwise, keep it and maybe it'll bring you luck. TGCrownTurnInBranchTopic Unbelievable! You must be the first person to set eyes on all twenty-four of them in... well, the last two eras. TGCrownTurnInBranchTopic01 When I told you the set had to be complete, I left out a small detail... I honestly didn't think you'd ever get this far. TGCrownTurnInBranchTopic01 If the stones were remounted on the crown, it would be of great benefit to the Thieves Guild. TGCrownTurnInBranchTopic02 I have it on good authority that the crown is within Tolvald's Cave; dropped by a Dunmer caravan leaving Morrowind long ago. TGCrownTurnInBranchTopic02 If you can bring it back, we could restore the paragon... and reap its benefits. TGCrownTurnInBranchTopic03 Not exactly. The crown is what the Guild calls a paragon; an object that enhances our thieving abilities. TGCrownTurnInBranchTopic03 At least, that's what I'm told it does... there hasn't been a paragon in this Guild for hundreds of years. TGCrownTurnInBranchTopic04 If we want to stay on top in Skyrim, the Guild needs that paragon back. TGCrownTurnInBranchTopic04 Without it, we're just a bunch of petty thieves. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic Pull up a chair, my friend... this is quite a tale. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic When I started out in this business, I wasn't really interested in the Guild or being a thief. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic01 I didn't mean to imply I was earning an honest living either. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic01 With my lock picking aptitude, I was a natural at jailbreaking... made a great deal of gold doing it too. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic02 It's where a client pays you to get arrested, and you get thrown into a prison for the express purpose of breaking out. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic02 Usually it's to free someone the client cares about... and sometimes to... well, to kill someone on their behalf. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic02 Either way, the trick was in the escape, and that's where my strengths came in handy. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic03 Well, as a jailbreaker, you work alone. No Guild to back you up. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic03 I'd do jobs for the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood, but if things didn't go as planned, I was on my own. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic04 The last jailbreak I attempted failed. I was imprisoned in High Rock for three years before they let me go. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic04 After that I promised myself I'd never do it again. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic05 I already knew Delvin, I asked if I could join up, and that was that. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic05 I don't know. I think I realized that out in the world, my skills would bring me more wealth as a thief rather than an assassin. TGDialogueCynricBranchTopic05 Killing someone in a jail is much easier than what the Dark Brotherhood deals with. I guess I wanted to play it safe. TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic It's kind of an amusing tale. TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic I was making my way down the road from Ivarstead towards Riften, and I saw Vex fighting off a couple of wolves. TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic01 Well, there were eight of them and she'd already killed three by the time I joined the fight. TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic01 Together, we made short work of them and the last one limped away licking its wounds. TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic02 Actually, that's when she politely asked me to hand over my coin purse. Can you imagine? TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic02 We scuffled for a while, broke each other's weapons, and finally fell to the ground exhausted. TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic03 Indeed. TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic03 After a few minutes, she looked me dead in the eye and asked me if I wanted to join the Guild. Just like that, no apologies. TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic04 Something told me I wouldn't regret it. I had heard the Guild was back on its feet again and most of Skyrim under its belt. TGDialogueGartharBranchTopic04 I'll tell you, I wouldn't want to cross blades with Vex again, but I certainly wouldn't mind a bit of a scuffle... TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic Well, you could always speak to Delvin or Vex if you're looking for extra work. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic Or if you're looking for training, we've got plenty of it down here. Delvin, Vex, Niruin and Vipir can give you a leg up on that. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic If you're lookin' to get some coin for the fruits of your labor, you should talk to Tonilia. She sounds tough, but she'll cut you a fair deal. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic I also suggest you spend some time in the trainin' room. Just talk to Vipir. He'll show you around. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic If you're ever in need of some quick coin for items you find on the job, Tonilia is the best fence around. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic And besides myself, Delvin, Niruin and Vipir can help you with any sort of training you might need to sharpen your skills. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic I'll point you to the first and last person you're ever going to need to talk to. Tonilia. She's the Guild's fence. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic Treat her right and she'll make you rich. Try and rip her off and you'll have the whole Guild to answer to. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic If talking your way out of trouble isn't enough, you could always pick up some training from Delvin, Vex or Vipir. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic Also, I recommend hitting the training room if you need lockpick practice. Helped me out of a jam more than once. TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic Hey, what the...? TGDialogueGuildHelpBranchTopic Gods, what a mess. TGDialogueKarliahNightingalesBranchTopic Gallus, Mercer Frey and I were once members of what's known as the Nightingale Trinity. TGDialogueKarliahNightingalesBranchTopic The Trinity disbanded twenty-five years ago when Mercer Frey betrayed us by slaying Gallus and dumping his body in the ruins of Snow Veil Sanctum. TGDialogueKarliahNightingalesBranchTopic01a Indirectly. The Trinity is usually selected from the ranks of the Guild although its existence is a closely-guarded secret. TGDialogueKarliahNightingalesBranchTopic01a To hold any hope of defeating Mercer, we must have Nocturnal at our backs. TGDialogueKarliahNightingalesBranchTopic01a If she's to accept you as one of her own, an arrangement must be struck. TGDialogueKarliahNightingalesBranchTopic01a Woah there, lass. I appreciate the armor, but becoming a Nightingale? That was never discussed. TGDialogueKarliahNightingalesBranchTopic01a Yes. That's why we need to prepare ourselves and meet Mercer on equal footing. TGDialogueKarliahNightingalesBranchTopic01a Come, Karliah. It's time for you and Gallus to become reunited! TGDialogueKarliahNightingalesBranchTopic01b The Nightingales protect the temple of Nocturnal, a place known as the Twilight Sepulcher. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic She's the mistress of night and darkness and the patron of every thief in Tamriel. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic01 Nocturnal isn't one for worship and reverence. There are no priests and no sermons, no services and no alms. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic01 She influences our luck and in return demands payment. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic02 You're closer to understanding than you realize. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic02 The only difference is she doesn't demand payment in the traditional sense and sometimes the cost can be quite high. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic02 Whether you know it or not, Nocturnal dictates how well we perform as rogues. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic03 Again, you have to think differently. Haven't you ever noticed how our luck behaves? TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic03 Like a novice picking an impossible lock or a blind man suddenly turning to face you as you reach for his pocket? TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic03 It's through these subtle means that Nocturnal influences us. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic04 Nocturnal's whim is the greatest mystery to everyone. There have been volumes written on the subject. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic04 Does she exact payment when we die? When we suffer does she revel in our misery? No one knows. TGDialogueKarliahNocturnalBranchTopic04 The return certainly seems worth the risk though. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic I used to live in Valenwood working at my father's winery... we made the finest wine to ever cross your lips I promise you. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic We were doing well, plenty of coin, a huge mansion and I was even betrothed to a lovely young woman. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic01 Because it was dull. Every day was the same boring routine; working at the winery, social visits with friends, parties with no one I cared about. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic01 I just wanted a little excitement. Something dangerous. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic02 I hooked up with a guild in Valenwood... I think they called themselves the Silver Crescents. Spent quite a few years doing jobs for them. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic02 Made a lot of coin, but I didn't care. I didn't really need it... I was running with them because it fit, made me feel alive. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic03 Well, after a while my father caught on to what I was doing. He confronted me one night and gave me a choice. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic03 Either leave Valenwood, or he'd have me thrown into jail. Gave me a day to say my goodbyes to everyone. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic04 I ended up in Skyrim thanks to a contact I'd made when I was with the Crescents... good old Delvin. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic04 He introduced me to Gallus, and that was it. I've been here ever since. TGDialogueNiruinBranchTopic04 And you know what? Despite what I left behind, I don't regret it one bit. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic Years ago, the Guild used to have a foothold in every major city in Skyrim. You wouldn't dare even lift an apple without checkin' with us. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic When things started goin' downhill around here, it became difficult to keep it all together. We lost fences, influential contacts and coin. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic It wasn't long before we lost what we depend on to survive... respect. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic By doin' these extra jobs and puttin' some fear into the people, we can take back the cities and start bein' taken seriously once again. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic Are you kidding me? Ever since the Guild's luck turned sour, we haven't had a coin to our name. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic And when the coin dried up, that's when people started to leave. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic We had the best of everything down here... the Ratway was a damn palace. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic The only way this place will ever return to its glory days is if we can finish these extra jobs and start the gold flowing again. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic01 Thanks to Maven Black-Briar, we still have some pull in Riften. But get arrested in Whiterun and you'll be tossed right into the prisons. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic01 If we can gain the confidence of someone very influential who lives there by doing a unique job for them, we'd be able to have some leverage there too. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic01 The only way to get that special job is by doin' smaller ones in those cities until we catch their ear... then they'll contact me and we're off. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic02 The Flagon was once a city beneath a city. We had our own smith, our own alchemist... you name it. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic02 If we can make a name for ourselves in Skyrim once again, I can almost promise you those merchants would return. TGDialogueRadiantExplainBranchTopic02 Best of all, we'd have enough gold to throw around so we can start living in the lap of luxury again. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic Morrowind of course. Any Dunmer worth their weight in ash would tell you the same. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic I used to be a member of the Morang Tong. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic01 We were an assassins guild that was sanctioned by the Empire to provide public as well as private executions. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic01 We did this in the name of Mephala, whom I used to quite fervently worship. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic02 No. In fact, the Tong were quite the bitter rivals with the Dark Brotherhood. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic02 Where they operate within the shadows, we operated on the side of justice. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic03 I didn't have a choice. When the Red Mountain erupted in Morrowind, the Tong fled... spread to the nine winds. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic03 We made a pact that one day, we might reunite... but I believe that day is long in coming. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic04 Have you taken leave of your senses? TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic04 If the Dark Brotherhood discovered I had been a Morang Tong, they would come after me with a vengeance. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic04 Better to stay out of sight and ply my trade with the Thieves Guild than risk a contract on my head. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic05 I should hope so. The Dark Brotherhood is also known to place contracts on those who associate with the Morang Tong as well. TGDialogueRavynBranchTopic05 So, unless you wish a visit from one of their own, I'd suggest you follow your own advice and keep your mouth shut. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic My father told me he found me as a young boy in the wreckage of a ship that sank off of the coast near Solitude. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic All he found in my pocket was a tiny smooth stone inscribed with some sort of strange runes. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic01 No one does. I've even taken the damn thing to the College of Winterhold. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic01 I must have spent every last coin I've made with the Guild trying to find out what it means. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic02 Perhaps. They could be nonsense... inane scribbles done by someone in idle boredom. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic02 But if not... if they actually mean something, they might tell me where I'm from... what ship was I on. Everything. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic03 Actually, the fisherman who found me, the man I call my father gave it to me. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic03 Thought it was fitting I suppose. I never changed it, because it never felt right to do so. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic04 I appreciate that. TGDialogueRuneBranchTopic04 Ah! Here it is. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic Look, I don't really know you. I don't even really know anyone here. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic Why do you care anyway? It's not like we're family. This is a business. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic01 Look, you want to know about me? All right, I'll tell you. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic01 I'll tell you about the time I was a young girl, barely out of her teens... living on a pig farm in the middle of nowhere. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic01 Didn't have a coin to spend between our entire family. Ate the same slop we fed our livestock. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic02 Oh, wait... it gets much better. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic02 How about the fact that our farm was attacked by bandits, and that they killed my entire family who didn't even brandish a weapon against them. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic02 Here's the best part. They took me as a prize, and violated me for a fortnight. Tossed me from bandit to bandit like... like... TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic03 It's fine... I had to tell someone I suppose. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic03 Carrying around a weight like that... it hurts after a while. Cuts you inside like a dagger to the heart. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic04 Over time, I managed to gain their confidence. Then one night I grabbed a knife, waited until they fell asleep and cut their throats. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic04 I never returned to that pig farm you know. There's nothing for me there. TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic04 So that's my sad story. What do you think? TGDialogueSapphireBranchTopic05 Maybe one day, just not today. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic I joined up with them maybe ten years ago. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic Small clan... maybe twenty men. We'd raid villages, rob caravans... but it was always about the killing for them. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic01 Don't get me wrong. The first few years with that clan were some of the best years of my life. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic01 All the food I could eat, all the wine I could drink and all the women I could bed. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic02 We raided a caravan one spring... I think it was a few wagons with some farmers moving to a new village. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic02 They didn't put up much of a fight. All that was left were the women and the children. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic02 Then the leader of our clan... Garthek... he ordered us to kill the rest. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic03 We tore each other to pieces. After it was over, those of us that remained simply went our separate ways. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic03 No, we usually let them go. I refused to do it, and Garthek ordered the clan to kill me as well. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic03 Luckily, I had made some friends with the clan who immediately sided with me. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic04 I left his head on a pike at the wreckage of the caravan. TGDialogueThrynnBranchTopic04 Never knew what became of the rest of the clan that survived. I suppose they moved on just like I did. TGDialogueVipirBranchTopic It was on a job a few years back... it was supposed to be a simple burglary on a house in Windhelm. TGDialogueVipirBranchTopic I was working with Vex and we got inside with no trouble. We found the loot, and made our way out. TGDialogueVipirBranchTopic01 Well it was, up until the point where we set foot outside. The house was surrounded by town guard... the client had ratted us out. TGDialogueVipirBranchTopic01 Vex just tells me to run, so I did. Half of them went after me, the other half went after her. TGDialogueVipirBranchTopic02 Are you kidding me? Vex lost them in seconds... once she steps into the shadows, she vanishes. TGDialogueVipirBranchTopic02 Me? I ran... and I ran... straight through the gates of Windhelm and all the way back to Riften. TGDialogueVipirBranchTopic03 Vex was waiting for me at the Flagon when I came in... drenched in sweat. Everyone just took a look at me and laughed. TGDialogueVipirBranchTopic04 Well, I had forgotten we had our horses tied up just outside of Windhelm... Vex rode hers back and arrived hours before I did. TGDialogueVipirBranchTopic04 So, that's how I earned the name. Now keep it to yourself. TGDoneFailDelvin01 What's the matter with you? We said keep it clean! Well, you can just forget about your payment. TGDoneFailDelvin02 Sure you finished, but you killed someone to do it. Next time listen to the rules if you want to get paid. TGDoneFailDelvin03 You needed to do this clean and quiet, and you failed. Now we need to use your payment to cover your mistake. TGDoneFailDelvin04 I hope you weren't expectin' to get paid for this blundered job. Next time, the mark stays alive... you hear me? TGDoneFailDelvin05 This ain't the Dark Brotherhood. Next time, you keep the job clean and you'll get your coin. TGDoneFailGuildMasterDelvin01 Sorry, boss. Had to use your share to cover expenses after you done and got messy. TGDoneFailGuildMasterDelvin02 I'm afraid I had to pay off a few officials to keep you out of jail, boss. Expensive to get murder off the books, know what I mean? TGDoneFailGuildMasterDelvin03 Now don't get cross with me, but the officials are demanding compensation for the mark you killed. Had to do it... had no choice, boss. TGDoneFailGuildMasterVex01 I want to pay you, but I had to cover up the murder. Didn't expect you to go on a killing spree. TGDoneFailGuildMasterVex02 Sorry, I don't have a single septim left after paying the town guard to keep quiet about the mark you killed. TGDoneFailGuildMasterVex03 Look, I told the client you probably had a good reason to kill the mark, but well, they demanded reparations. TGDoneFailVex01 Are you out of your mind? We said no bloodshed! Well, guess what. You can just forget about your gold. TGDoneFailVex02 I thought it was crystal clear... no one dies on these jobs. Remember that next time you want to get paid. TGDoneFailVex03 You an assassin or a thief? Next time, keep your blade sheathed if you want to make any gold. TGDoneFailVex04 You drew blood, so you aren't getting paid. That's the rules. You don't like it, take it up with Brynjolf. TGDoneFailVex05 You idiot! We have to cover your mess up and that costs us gold... which means you don't get any. TGDoneItemDelvin01 Good job. Now here's your part of the deal. TGDoneItemDelvin02 Here's your share. Well done. TGDoneItemDelvin03 Nicely done. Here's your share. TGDoneItemDelvin04 And here's the spoils. Plenty more where this came from! TGDoneItemDelvin05 I can pat you on the back all day, but coin's coin, right? TGDoneItemDelvin06 This kind of work suits you... and is going to end up makin' you rich. TGDoneItemDelvin07 Couldn't have done it better myself. Here's your coin. TGDoneItemDelvin08 If you don't watch it, I may actually start to respect you. Job well done. TGDoneItemGuildMasterDelvin01 A pleasure as always, boss. Here's your payment. TGDoneItemGuildMasterDelvin02 Got all your gold ready, boss. You can count every coin, it's all there. TGDoneItemGuildMasterDelvin03 I hardly noticed you were gone. Got your share of the spoils right here, boss. TGDoneItemVex01 Oh, you're back? I suppose you'll be wanting your pay then. TGDoneItemVex02 You did the job and you did it clean; that's all we ever ask. Enjoy the gold. TGDoneItemVex03 Didn't muck it up I hear. Good. Here's your share. TGDoneItemVex04 I suppose you want your share now? Here you go. TGDoneItemVex05 And with no strings attached. Not bad. Here, got some coin for you. TGDoneItemVex06 Amazing what people leave laying around for us to take, isn't it? TGDoneItemVex07 Fine. I guess you'll need your coin then. TGDoneItemVex08 Here's your gold. Try not to spend it all in one place. TGDoneQuitDelvin01 Are you bloody serious? You're not going to get ahead by quitting around here, that I can promise you. TGDoneQuitDelvin02 You can't keep quittin' jobs when it strikes your fancy. You're going to make us all look like a bunch of amateurs. Think next time. TGDoneQuitDelvin03 Keep droppin' these jobs and I might quit assignin' them to you. TGDoneQuitGuildMasterDelvin01 Consider it forgotten, boss. TGDoneQuitGuildMasterVex01 No problem, I'll get someone else to take it. TGDoneQuitVex01 Fine. Next time, save me the trouble and pass on it from the beginning. TGDoneQuitVex02 Make up your mind, will you? You're starting to make us look bad. TGDoneQuitVex03 First you take the job, now you don't even want it. I wish you'd make up your mind. TGFenceCaravanBranchTopic Before we get down to business, I've got something I need you to do. TGFenceCaravanBranchTopic01 Well, as you know, the Guild's growing and things are looking up around here. TGFenceCaravanBranchTopic01 The only thing we're lacking is a reliable way to transport our merchandise across Skyrim. TGFenceCaravanBranchTopic02 I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there are several Khajiit Caravans that travel across the realm. TGFenceCaravanBranchTopic02 They're shrewd traders and don't mind getting their hands dirty. I've bartered with their leader, Ri'saad, on more than one occasion. TGFenceCaravanBranchTopic03 Actually, I want you to bring him something. You see, the caravans are notorious for transporting illegal substances. TGFenceCaravanBranchTopic03 Present Ri'saad with this satchel of Moon Sugar, and I bet my last septim he'll make a deal. TGFenceCaravanDoneBranchTopic Good, I'll contact some of my people and have them prepare some shipments right away. TGFenceCaravanDoneBranchTopic Good job. Here, let me give you something for all the leg work. TGFenceCaravanGoodbyes Give my regards to Tonilia. Tell her I'll contact her soon. TGFenceCaravanGoodbyes You'll find Ri'saad with his caravan group. Just don't do anything stupid when you get there. TGFenceCaravanHellos Was there anything else, or is our transaction complete? TGFenceCaravanHellos Did Ri'saad accept our offer? TGFenceCaravanRisaadBranchTopic You approach as if you know us, stranger. Who are you and what do you want? TGFenceCaravanRisaadBranchTopic01 Yes, I've heard the Guild is rising back to power. An alliance would be most beneficial to both parties. TGFenceCaravanRisaadBranchTopic01 I'll consider the offer, but I'll have to discuss it with the other caravans. TGFenceCaravanRisaadBranchTopic02 Ah, Moon Sugar. I could smell it on you. I'm pleased with this offer, and accept. TGFenceCaravanRisaadBranchTopic02 Take my word to the leaders of your guild and tell them we look forward to a prosperous and profitable future. TGFenceCaravanRisaadBranchTopic02 If you happen upon any of our caravans in your travels, we'd also be more than willing to pay you a fair sum for any of your stolen goods. TGFenceCaravanTonBranchTopic Ri'saad is the head of a small syndicate of independent merchant families. TGFenceCaravanTonBranchTopic Each caravan is obliged to pay dues, but in return a small portion of the profits are shared between them and the leader parcels out the routes. TGFenceCaravanTonBranchTopic If we could make contact with them, they could provide an excellent way to inconspicuously transport goods for us. TGFenceCaravanTonMoonSugarBranchTopic It's an illegal substance highly favored by the Khajiit. Very difficult to come by. TGFenceCaravanTonMoonSugarBranchTopic If Moon Sugar is refined properly, it can be used to make skooma, another substance that will knock you over after a single draught. TGFencesBranchTopic Working with the Guild again is the best decision I've ever made. Protection, respect and a constant flow of coin... it couldn't get any better. TGFencesBranchTopic Best of all, there's no need to smuggle things quietly anymore. With the influence we have in Solitude, I can march it right out the front door. TGFencesBranchTopic How could I complain when I went from Sabjorn's lackey to one of the wealthiest merchants in Whiterun in no time at all? TGFencesBranchTopic Plus, the meadery's doing so well, I'm almost having trouble keeping up with the demand. TGFencesBranchTopic I'd say things couldn't be any better. TGFencesBranchTopic Business? Business is actually inconsequential to me. I share little of your lust for coin. TGFencesBranchTopic However, as promised, I'll still be more than happy to take any stolen merchandise off your hands. TGFencesBranchTopic I've been setting up some open trading with Tonilia back at the Guild in Riften, and it's proven to be quite profitable. TGFencesBranchTopic There's been no word from the remnants of the Summerset Shadows, so I'm assuming you either eliminated all of them or they've fled Skyrim. TGFencesBranchTopic Everything seems to be working out nicely, wouldn't you agree? TGFencesBranchTopic Business is absolutely booming, my friend. TGFencesBranchTopic I've taken to hiring a few extra men of my own just to keep up with all the shipments. TGFencesBranchTopic Old Delvin certainly takes care of his own, doesn't he. TGFencesGoodbyes Just remember me if you get your hands on anything else. TGFencesGoodbyes Do me a favor. If you speak to Maven, tell her everything's well at hand down here, okay? TGFencesGoodbyes Give my regards to Karliah if you see her. TGFencesGoodbyes Hurry back... and bring more merchandise. TGFencesGoodbyes When you get back to Riften, tell Delvin this new arrangement's working out quite well. TGFencesHellos Crossing the Guild was a bad idea. I'll buy goods from you after you settle your accounts. TGFencesHellos Ah, you're just in time. I got in a shipment of fine wares courtesy of the East Empire Company. TGFencesHellos Come to sell me something special, or did you just want to look through my merchandise? TGFencesHellos Ah, you're back. I'm hearing good things about the Guild through the grapevine. TGFencesHellos Brought me more than some Firebrand Wine I trust? TGFencesHellos I heard about what you did at the Guild all the way out here. Sorry, can't buy or sell anything from you. TGFencesHellos Been a while since I've seen you at the meadery. Bring me anything interesting? TGFencesHellos What brings you to Whiterun? Got some juicy goods to sell? TGFencesHellos What have you got for me today? Nothing illegal I hope! TGFencesHellos I've got plenty of good merchandise for you. Take a look. TGFencesHellos Rumor has it you couldn't follow the Guild's rules, so we can't do any business until it's been worked out. TGFencesHellos Taking me up on my offer, eh? Good. TGFencesHellos I'm assuming you're here for more than a social call. Down to business, eh? TGFencesHellos I'm always on the lookout for all sorts of goods. Bring me whatever you... well, "find" and I'll see what I can do. TGFencesHellos So, did Delvin send you again or you here on your own this time? TGFencesHellos In trouble with the Guild, eh? Well, looks like we won't be trading merchandise until you smooth it over. TGFencesHellos So, you've come to see me to sell or to buy? Hm? TGFencesHellos I've got all sorts of interesting things for you to buy, and I assure you they're of the finest quality. TGFencesHellos If you've got the time to sell, I've got the time to buy. TGFencesHellos Let's see what you have for me today. Something simple to turn around for a profit I trust. TGFencesHellos I've been forbidden to deal with you until amends are made with the Guild. Sorry. TGFencesHellos Glad your here, I've been looking for some more merchandise to buy. Have lots of orders to fill and my clients don't like to wait. TGFencesHellos Now I know you've come by for more than just a visit. What did you bring? TGFencesHellos I promise you, I buy much more than simple silver trinkets. TGFencesHellos I've made a lot of new contacts thanks to you, and more contacts means more coin for everyone. TGGoodbyes Good luck. TGGoodbyes If you want to get paid, keep your weapon sheathed. TGGoodbyes No one dies. Remember that. We're not assassins. TGGoodbyes If you get arrested, it's on your head. TGGoodbyes Keep to the shadows and you'll do fine. TGGoodbyes I don't want a trail of dead bodies leading here. Keep it clean. TGGoodbyes Get the job done and get back alive. That's all there is to it. TGGoodbyes Don't give up now... there's plenty of loot out there just ripe for the taking. TGGoodbyes Hey, I still have plenty of work to do here. TGGoodbyes Walking away without taking a job is like passing a bloated coinpurse on a table. TGGoodbyes You think you're finished? I've got plenty more where that came from. TGGoodbyes Come on, take another job so we can both make some money. TGGoodbyes These jobs aren't going to finish themselves you know. TGGoodbyes Hey, where do you think you're going? We have work to do. TGGoodbyes Don't muck this up. TGGoodbyes Don't forget your represntin' the Guild. Don't do anythin' stupid. TGGoodbyes Make us proud. TGGoodbyes Be careful out there... wouldn't want to lose such a promisin' cutpurse now, would we. TGGoodbyes Use your skills, not your blade and you'll do fine. TGGoodbyes No killin' or no pay. Remember that. TGGoodbyes Remember, keep it clean. We don't want blood on our hands. TGGoodbyes Can I give you a little tip? Take every job you can get or else you'll end up a beggar. TGGoodbyes Hey, this guild needs the coin... walkin' away without takin' work is not going to make you popular around here. TGGoodbyes There's plenty more work for the likes of you. TGGoodbyes What's the matter, afraid of getting your hands dirty? TGGoodbyes Where you off to? There's work to be done. TGGoodbyes Only way this guilds going to continue to grow is by takin' extra work. TGGoodbyes Find me if you're ever lookin' for some extra coin. TGGoodbyes Finally. Now I can get back to work. TGGoodbyes Don't hurry back, I won't be waiting. TGGoodbyes Good luck on your next job. TGGoodbyes Off for some wine, eh? Drink one for me. TGGoodbyes Keep to the shadows. TGGoodbyes Be seeing you. TGGoodbyes Always a pleasure... TGGoodbyes Go and pick some fights. TGGoodbyes Some other time, perhaps. TGGoodbyes I'm sure we'll speak again. TGGoodbyes I hope we bump into each other again. TGGoodbyes Maybe I'll see you around the Guild. TGGoodbyes If you ever need more practice with the bow, just grab me. TGGoodbyes Come find me if you need more marksman training. TGGoodbyes Need any more pickpocket training, you just let me know. TGGoodbyes Come back and see me if you ever need pickpocket training. TGGoodbyes Until next we meet, lad. TGGoodbyes Until next we meet, lass. TGGoodbyes A word of advice. Don't disappoint me. TGGoodbyes I'm watching you. TGGoodbyes Yeah... Let's wait a little longer. Then... TGGoodbyes Something's wrong... Boss' been down there too long. TGGoodbyes I'm a Blade, now. I can hardly believe it. TGGoodbyes By my honor, I pledge to rid Tamriel of dragons. TGGoodbyes Dragonborn. What do you need? TGHellos Sorry, lass... I've got important things to do. We'll speak another time. TGHellos Sorry, lad... I've got important things to do. We'll speak another time. TGHellos I'm busy right now, lass. We can talk later. TGHellos I'm busy right now, lad. We can talk later. TGHellos Always a pleasure, boss. What can I do for you? TGHellos Pull up a seat and have a drink. TGHellos Ah, you're back. TGHellos Something troublin' ya? I'll listen. TGHellos So, what can I do for ya today? TGHellos Still have quite a good bit of jobs available if you're looking for some extra coin. TGHellos Need some gold? I may have some work for you. TGHellos Looking for work? TGHellos Got lots of jobs available. Interested? TGHellos So, you're the one Brynjolf's been jabberin' about. Been waitin' to have a word with you. TGHellos I think you better listen to Mercer and Brynjolf first. We can talk later. TGHellos Talk to me again if you prove yourself to Brynjolf. TGHellos Come back later and I may have some work for you. TGHellos We haven't met. TGHellos Name's Garthar. Remember it, because you're going to hear a lot about me. TGHellos Still learning the ropes, but I'll get the hang of it. TGHellos I think Brynjolf can give you all the information you need. TGHellos Been doing a few jobs for Vex... how about you? TGHellos Yeah? TGHellos Did you want something? TGHellos I'm listenin'. TGHellos Our Guild Master graces me with a visit. What can I do for you? TGHellos Looking to fix your armor? TGHellos Steal anything worth talking about? TGHellos Can I interest you in anything? Some fine armor perhaps? TGHellos Back with good news I trust. TGHellos Be glad to repair any damage to your Guild armor. TGHellos Well? You done or what? TGHellos So, name your poison! Ha ha ha. Oh, I never get tired of that one! TGHellos Out with it. Time is money. TGHellos Need some sort of toxin for a special occasion? That's where I come in. TGHellos So, feeling loose? How about you run a job for me. TGHellos I sell all sorts of poisons for almost every occasion. TGHellos Need a few spare septims? I got the cure right here. TGHellos Looking for the best smith in Skyrim? You found it. TGHellos I have work if you've got the backbone. TGHellos They don't call me the Ember-Master for nothing. What do you need? TGHellos Ready for some work or you just going to wander around all day? TGHellos Need your weapon repaired? Or could I interest you in a new one? TGHellos So, you're the new recruit everyone's been talking about, eh? I guess it's about time we talked. TGHellos I've got all sorts of weapons for the discerning marksman. What can I get you? TGHellos After you talk to Brynjolf and Mercer, come back and see me. TGHellos If you're in the market for the finest bows money can buy, you're talking to the right person. TGHellos I have no business with you. TGHellos Skilled, lethal and good-looking. Yep, it's a curse. TGHellos I'm busy. Don't you have something to do? TGHellos Hey, let's talk a second. TGHellos I'm not here to hold your hand. Figure this one out for yourself. TGHellos You're making waves around here. I like that. If you ever want to talk about anything, you let me know. TGHellos You need advice? Talk to Brynjolf... I got better things to do. TGHellos Hey, how's it going. Need pickpocket training? TGHellos I have no business with you. TGHellos If you need pickpocket training, just let me know. TGHellos Whatever you're selling, I'm not buying. TGHellos If you want to be a master pickpocket like me, I can get you there. TGHellos Don't you have better things to do than disturb me? TGHellos If you wondering why they call me Vipir the Fleet, watch me outrun the town guard sometime. TGHellos I've been a part of this Guild for as long as Mercer has been Guild Master. TGHellos I might not be as big as some of my fellow Nords, but in a fight they can barely lay a hand on me. TGHellos This better be important, I'm quite busy. TGHellos My specialty is pickpocketing. All I need is a rich mark, a moon-lit sky and I'm in my element. TGHellos I wouldn't mind teaching the ways of the pickpocket... if the gold was right. TGHellos I miss the glory days of this place. We had more coin stacked in the vaults than we even knew what to do with. TGHellos Come here a second. TGHellos A lot of people are beginning to get impressed with you here. Me included. Just wanted to let you know. TGHellos Interest you in some marksman training? TGHellos If you need marksman training, and you've got the coin... I'm ready to teach you. TGHellos What's on your mind? TGHellos Of course you can buy me a drink... you didn't need to say a word, but I heard you loud and clear. TGHellos Ugh. The wine in Skyrim tastes like urine compared to the fine vintages we had in Valenwood. TGHellos I don't miss home one bit. I'm glad to leave that life behind me. TGHellos I'd much rather earn a living liberating others of their coin this way than spending my days as a carpenter like my father. TGHellos It's not hard to fit in and make friends when you have the coin to make it happen. TGHellos I don't bother with silly pickpocketing jobs when I can make far more at the gambling table. TGHellos Let's talk for moment. TGHellos Look, if I was a little harsh before, I just wanted you to know it's because you were new. Know what I mean? TGHellos Well, hey there. What can Sapphire do for you? TGHellos Back from a job, huh? Hope it went well. TGHellos Want to talk? Go ahead. TGHellos They call me Sapphire because I love to steal them. TGHellos Don't get me wrong, I'll steal any gem that isn't nailed down. But there's something about those blue stones that gets my blood boiling. TGHellos When people ask my real name, know what I tell them? Don't ask. TGHellos Sure I might have some dirt in my past, but that's just ancient history. TGHellos I'm a deadeye marksman, lethal with a blade and dangerous in bed. And it only gets better from there. TGHellos Last time someone cheated me, I cut off their hand. Still have it actually. TGHellos Wanted to say something to you. TGHellos I think you're all right. In fact, I'm kind of impressed how well you're doing around here. Just keep it between us, okay? TGHellos Yeah, you need something? TGHellos What's going on? TGHellos Sure, we can talk a minute. TGHellos I've seen a lot of thieves come and go, but I've never seen anyone as good as me. TGHellos I could crack the lock on any house blindfolded before you even got your picks out of your pocket. TGHellos Been in the Guild a long time... joined right after Brynjolf. Not interested in leadership though, that's more his kind of thing. TGHellos I don't care if Vex was chosen as a Guild Third over me, she deserved it. TGHellos I kind of like watching things from where I am. Making money is all I care about. TGHellos Hey, I want to talk to you... now. TGHellos You're pretty tough, I respect that. Bringing in a lot of coin for the Guild, making us look good too. Let me know if you need anything, okay? TGHellos Need something? TGHellos You want to talk to me? Okay. TGHellos Yeah, I guess I have a minute. What do you want? TGHellos I'm the heavy hitter around here. When someone needs pushing around, I'm the one they send in. TGHellos Used to run with a bandit clan in The Pale. Turns out I didn't like them and they didn't like me, so we parted ways. TGHellos Brynjolf pulled me in a few years ago. Said the Guild was lacking some muscle, so I joined up. TGHellos I've busted heads for Maven Black-Briar when she wants to keep her name out of it. Pays good, so why not? TGHellos I leave all that sneaking around nonsense to everyone else; believe me, when I'm coming for you... you'll know it. TGHellos Got a minute? Wanted to say something. TGHellos I've never seen anyone with skills like yours. I just wanted to let you know that if you need anything, you can talk to me. TGHellos Hey, good to see you! TGHellos Something I can help with or do you just want to talk? TGHellos My brother in crime... what'd you need? TGHellos My sister in crime. What'd you need? TGHellos Name's Rune. Yeah, rune... just like you're thinking. TGHellos Have no idea what my birth name really is, and I frankly don't care. TGHellos Being brought up by a poor family, I had to learn how to steal if I wanted to make ends meet. TGHellos Brynjolf actually caught me trying to pick his pocket in the market. If he was anyone else I would have gotten away with it. TGHellos I'm glad Brynjolf decided to let me join. Been trying to make some coin for him ever since. TGHellos Hmph, so you're the one everyone's falling over. TGHellos I don't know, you don't look so impressive to me. I mean, you're no Gray Fox, but you must be doing something right. TGHellos I'm busy, is this important? TGHellos Are you bothering me for a reason? TGHellos Oh, this should be good. TGLarcenyInitial Well, well. I was looking for this little beauty. TGLarcenyInitial If you happen across any other unusual trinkets like this, be sure and bring them to me. I promise it'll be worth the effort. TGLarcenyLT02BranchTopic01 Here you go. This should cover it. TGLarcenyLT03BranchTopic01 I think you'll find this payment to be more than fair. TGLarcenyLT04BranchTopic I can't do this. We shouldn't be here. I'm sorry. TGLarcenyLT04BranchTopic A few hours sleep and we should be ready to continue through. TGLarcenyLT04BranchTopic Wait! TGLarcenyLT04BranchTopic Best get rid of the ones we see. Just in case. TGLarcenyLT04BranchTopic01 This should compensate you for your find. TGLarcenyLT05BranchTopic01 What a delightful find! This should cover it. TGLarcenyLT06BranchTopic01 It's worth quite a bit actually. Quite a catch! Here you go, this should make you smile. TGLarcenyLT07BranchTopic01 Must have come from Mercer's place. He'd admired the Gray Fox for some time. Sure, I'll buy it from you... here you are. TGLarcenyLT08BranchTopic01 By the Eight... you actually got your hands on it! This alone is worth more than some thieves earn in a lifetime. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic I think it's time we make this Guild Master thing official. Go and talk to Brynjolf, he's makin' preparations. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic I heard Brynjolf is looking for you. I think it's time for the Guild to have a new leader. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic So, they're making you leader, huh? Better go find Brynjolf so he can seal the deal. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic I heard Brynjolf wants to see you about being Guild Master. I suppose my turn will come one day, but for now you'll do nicely. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic So, they're making you Guild Master, eh? Good. Just find Brynjolf and he can make it official. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic Brynjolf's been looking for you about the Guild Master ceremony. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic Brynjolf tells me you'll make an excellent Guild Master. Oh, he's looking for you, by the way. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic What are you doing talking to me? Didn't you know Brynjolf's been trying to find you? It's time to install you as Guild Master! TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic Brynjolf's looking for you. Something about becoming the Guild Master. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic So, you're finally going to make Guild Master, eh? Well, you better track down Brynjolf to seal the deal. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic Guild Master, huh? Well, guess we could do worse. Better go see Brynjolf about it. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic Brynjolf told me he was looking for you about the Guild Master ceremony. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic Did you know Brynjolf was looking for you? I think it's about the Guild Master ceremony. TGLeadershipBlockingHelloBranchTopic Brynjolf's been looking for you. He wants to discuss the Guild Master ceremony. Congratulations... boss. TGLeadershipBrynjolfAfterBranchTopic Well, that's it. Sorry if it isn't the ceremony you were hoping for, but we're not exactly known for throwing our coin around. TGLeadershipBrynjolfAfterBranchTopic After we're done here, head over to Tonilia and she'll set you up with your Guild Master Armor. TGLeadershipBrynjolfAfterBranchTopic Oh, and one last thing. Here, I want you to take this. It's sort of a tradition around here. TGLeadershipBrynjolfAfterBranchTopic This is Helgen. I used to be sweet on a girl from here. Wonder if Vilod is still making that mead with juniper berries mixed in. TGLeadershipBrynjolfBranchTopic Well, my friend... the time's come to make it official. It's time to become our Guild Master. TGLeadershipBrynjolfBranchTopic Don't worry, I promise this will be short and sweet. If you'll just meet us in the center of the cistern room, we can begin. TGLeadershipHellos Not yet... wait until Brynjolf's finished the ceremony. TGLeadershipHellos I think everyone's waiting for the ceremony to get going. TGLeadershipHellos I think everyone's waiting for the ceremony to get going. TGLeadershipHellos We'll talk later... after this whole ceremony thing's over. TGLeadershipHellos We'll talk later... after this whole ceremony thing's over. TGLeadershipHellos Here's to a long and prosperous future... may the Guild last another hundred years. TGLeadershipHellos What are you doing? You're supposed to be attending the ceremony. TGLeadershipHellos I suppose you deserve it. Couldn't do any worse than Mercer, anyway. TGLeadershipHellos I'm not getting any younger. Let's get this ceremony done with. TGLeadershipHellos So now the pupil is the master, eh? Good show! TGLeadershipHellos Not now, it's time for the ceremony. TGLeadershipHellos You need anything, anything at all... don't hesitate to ask. TGLeadershipHellos We can talk after the Guild Master ceremony. TGLeadershipHellos I am at your service. TGLeadershipHellos Don't talk to me, you're supposed to be at the ceremony! TGLeadershipHellos We're all rich thanks to you. Cheers! TGLeadershipHellos We'll chat after the ceremony. TGLeadershipHellos I promise to live up to your expectations. TGLeadershipHellos Shouldn't the ceremony be completed first? TGLeadershipHellos Glad to see they picked the right person for the job. TGLeadershipHellos We can get better acquainted once the ceremony's ended. TGLeadershipHellos Congratulations, boss! TGLeadershipHellos We can speak after the ceremony's done. TGLeadershipHellos I can't think of a better person for the job, Nightingale. TGLeadershipHellos After Brynjolf has installed you as Guild Master, we can speak at length. TGLeadershipHellos I suppose congratulations are in order. Now don't screw it up. TGLeadershipHellos Not now, you idiot. We'll talk after this ridiculous ceremony. TGLeadershipHellos Well, looks like you're running the show now. Good luck. TGLeadershipHellos Wait until the ceremony is over, then we'll talk. TGLeadershipHellos As long as you continue to make us all rich, I'm behind you. TGLeadershipHellos Hang on. When the ceremony's done, we'll talk. TGLeadershipHellos So, now that you're Guild Master, how about drinks for all of us! TGLeadershipToniliaBranchTopic Yes, and I'm more than happy to give it to you. TGLeadershipToniliaBranchTopic I mean look at this place. I've never seen so much wealth down here. You've made us all rich. TGLeadershipToniliaBranchTopic Here you go... should fit you like a glove... boss. TGPostBrynjolfGuildMasterStatusTopic It's as if the merchandise and coin are simply falling from the sky. TGPostBrynjolfGuildMasterStatusTopic Vex and Delvin are having to turn clients away at this point, it's almost impossible to keep up. TGPostBrynjolfGuildMasterStatusTopic Don't forget to check your tribute chest once in a while. As Guild Master you're getting a significant cut of the spoils. TGPostBrynjolfGuildStatusTopic Take a good look around you! Have you ever see the Guild in such a prosperous state? TGPostBrynjolfGuildStatusTopic With Mercer Frey gone and our influence present in all of Skyrim's cities, the Guild's accumulating wealth faster than we can spend it. TGPostBrynjolfGuildStatusTopic I couldn't be more proud to be a part of the Thieves Guild, or its new Guild Master. TGPostBrynjolfGuildStatusTopic Take a good look around you! Have you ever see the Guild in such a prosperous state? TGPostBrynjolfGuildStatusTopic With Mercer Frey gone and our influence spreading across Skyrim, the Guild's earned a new level of respect it hasn't seen in decades. TGPostBrynjolfGuildStatusTopic I couldn't be more proud to be a part of the Thieves Guild, or its new Guild Master. TGPostGoodbyes It was good speaking with you again. TGPostGoodbyes May the shadows guide your journey. TGPostGoodbyes Eyes open and walk with the shadows. TGPostGoodbyes Eyes open and walk with the shadows. TGPostGoodbyes Now go and make us some coin, lad! TGPostGoodbyes Now go and make us some coin, lass! TGPostGoodbyes Done? Let's get moving. TGPostGoodbyes Done, then? This way! TGPostGoodbyes Get ready to open the trap! TGPostHellos Now that this is a Black-Briar Meadery, you can be sure that we'll be selling only the best mead in Skyrim. TGPostHellos What's left of the Honningbrew has been dumped into the sewers. Good riddance. TGPostHellos Maven Black-Briar always remembers her friends. That's why I'm in charge of the place. TGPostHellos If you have anything you're having a hard time selling, I can take it off your hands. TGPostHellos It was you, wasn't it. I should of known better. Now look at me. TGPostHellos You've sent an innocent man to jail. I hope your proud of yourself. TGPostHellos Maven be damned. One day, she'll get hers. I can promise you that. TGPostHellos Leave me alone. Haven't you done enough damage already? TGPostHellos Yes, lad? Did you need something? TGPostHellos Yes, lass? Did you need something? TGPostHellos Good to see you, lad! How are things? TGPostHellos Good to see you, lass! How are things? TGPostHellos Things are looking up around here, lass. TGPostHellos Things are looking up around here, lad. TGPostHellos Planning some exciting heists I hope? TGPostHellos Enjoying your newfound abilities I trust? TGPostHellos What brings you back to Nightingale Hall? TGPostHellos I trust the night finds you well? TGPostHellos Things seem to be going well at the Guild. TGPostHellos I'm hearing good things about you from Brynjolf. TGPostKarliahBranchTopic I'm feeling a sense of inner peace... something I haven't felt in a very long time. TGPostKarliahBranchTopic Instead of being clouded with thoughts of revenge and retribution, I feel only serenity and fulfillment. TGPostKarliahBranchTopic Of course, I've been also dabbling in my old pastimes as well. Take a look around, and feel free to share the fruits of my labor. TGPostKarliahNGBranchTopic I think by now, most within the Guild are well aware of what transpired between Mercer Frey and ourselves. TGPostKarliahNGBranchTopic The notion that the Nightingales are a fictive group has long since passed. TGPostKarliahNGBranchTopic If you wish to wear your Nightingale Armor within the Guild, I'm certain that no one would give it a second thought. TGPreHellos If you need to sample some of the finest mead in Skyrim, you're in the right place. TGPreHellos If you're looking to purchase any mead, speak to the owner, Sabjorn. TGPreHellos If you're looking to purchase any mead, speak to the brewmaster, Mallus. TGPreHellos We're a small meadery, but growing quickly. Sabjorn's only been running this place for a short time now and look at it. TGPreHellos It's a shame the Black-Briar Meadery took this place over. I never liked it as much as our Honningbrew. TGPreHellos Mallus is teaching me everything he knows about brewing. Hopefully, I can take over his position some day. TGPreHellos Welcome. I'm the owner and proprietor of Honningbrew Meadery. TGPreHellos Honningbrew uses only the finest natural honey, not that sludge you'll find at Goldenglow Estate. TGPreHellos We may be small, but what we lack in size we make up for in quality. TGPreHellos Black-Briar Mead is just fine, if you need something to wash the dirt off a riding horse's hooves. TGPreHellos You need something to do, or you just enjoy slowing down the hard-working folk? TGPreHellos If you want to buy something, go find Sabjorn. Otherwise, piss off. TGPreHellos To tell you the truth, Sabjorn isn't much of an owner. Slave driver, sure. TGPreHellos I've never met someone like him that revels so much in other's misery.

TGRAcceptDelvin03 Now that's what I like to hear. Off you go. TGRAcceptDelvin04 Nice. Here, this is what you'll need to know. TGRAcceptDelvin05 Keep this up and you'll be rich enough retire before you know it. Good luck. TGRAcceptDelvin06 Just remember the rules... keep it clean and keep it quiet. Here's the details. TGRAcceptDelvin07 Here's everythin' you need. You get caught, and we've never heard of you. TGRAcceptDelvin08 Just keep your eyes open and your mouth shut and you'll do fine. Let me give you the details. TGRAcceptGuildMasterDelvin01 All-righty. Good luck out there, boss. TGRAcceptGuildMasterDelvin02 Here you go, boss. All the details. TGRAcceptGuildMasterDelvin03 Great. Watch yourself out there, boss. TGRAcceptVex01 Good. Here's what you need to do. TGRAcceptVex02 Fine. Here's everything you need to know. TGRAcceptVex03 All right. Take this and get out of here. TGRAcceptVex04 Fine. Just keep it clean. Here you go. TGRAcceptVex05 Good, just remember the order: do job first, get drunk second. Now take this and go. TGRAcceptVex06 Here you go. Hope you don't muck it up. TGRAcceptVex07 Here. Just don't make me look like an ass in front of the Guild and mess it up. TGRAcceptVex08 Whatever, just get it done. Here's the job. TGRDelvinDecline01 Your not winnin' points with me with that attitude. TGRDelvinDecline02 When you find your nerves, then we'll talk. TGRDelvinDecline03 Fine, but you're not gettin' any wealthier by weaslin' out of everythin' I offer you. TGRDelvinDecline04 You're not going to get richer with that attitude. TGRDelvinDecline05 You need to bloody well get your priorities straight if you want to make it around here. TGRDelvinDecline06 Too bad, looks like I need to find someone else to take care of business. TGRDelvinDecline07 If you think you'll make your fortune kickin' around the Flagon all day, that's where your wrong. TGRDelvinDecline08 And here I thought you were a master criminal. Guess I was wrong. TGRDelvinGuildMasterDecline01 Yeah, your right. Probably a waste of your time anyway. TGRDelvinGuildMasterDecline02 Sure, no problem. We'll find someone else to do it. TGRDelvinGuildMasterDecline03 Don't even give it a second thought. Maybe next time. TGRFailArrestDelvin01 Gettin' pinched and endin' up in jail doesn't cut it with our clients. If you want to get paid next time, stay clean. TGRFailArrestDelvin02 I had to use your pay to smooth things over with the client. They didn't want to be associated with a criminal. Next time, don't get arrested. TGRFailArrestVex01 Good going... you got arrested. Now how do you think that looks for the Guild? Better luck next time. TGRFailArrestVex02 Being connected to a criminal didn't make the client happy... next time, act like a real thief and don't get caught. TGRShellBEBranchTopic Pretty simple. Break into a house, grab a specific item and get out before they realize what's going on. TGRShellBEBranchTopic The catch is you can't kill anyone who lives there or you forfeit the payment. TGRShellBEBranchTopic You ready for some good old-fashioned burglary? TGRShellBEBranchTopic We're looking to recover an heirloom for a client. They claim ownership of it, and as long as they're paying we don't really care. You in? TGRShellBEBranchTopic We've been trying to get this item for a while, but no one with the skills has come along to claim it. Can I count on you to get it? TGRShellBEBranchTopic Have a house with a good bit of valuables inside, but one particular item's caught my eye. You up for it? TGRShellBEBranchTopic Got a tip on a desirable item at this location. We want you to break in there and bring it to us. What do you think? TGRShellBEBranchTopic Good, got a buyer in a rush for this item. If you hurry we can turn it around and make a quick profit. Can you get it? TGRShellBEBranchTopic Sure, sure. We're always looking to get our hands on items from all over Skyrim. How about this one? TGRShellBEBranchTopic As long as you can keep things quiet and don't get yourself killed in the process, this place has exactly what we're looking for. You in? TGRShellBEBranchTopic We've actually stolen this item before and somehow it ended up back in some other mark's house. Guess it's time to reclaim it, eh? TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic Well, I never thought I'd see the Guild this way ever again. The place is growin' into what it used to be when Gallus was runnin' the show. TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic Contacts are springin' up all over and I've got young footpads beatin' down the door to join up. TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic I got one last special request of you. Finish this one and all of Skyrim's ours for the takin'. TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic I don't know what your made of, but I've never seen anyone tackle this many jobs without endin' up dead or in jail. TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic We've got half of Skyrim back under our wing and the coin's startin' to flow. TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic Now, if you're ready, I got another special job for you. TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic I've got another special request and they specifically asked for you. TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic Your makin' a name for yourself, that's for sure. But more important, you're makin' a name for the Guild. Keep it up. TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic Well, it appears your actions are startin' to make waves out there. People are talkin' about the Guild again. TGRShellCapQuestBranchTopic In fact, I just got a special job request in. I haven't gotten anythin' like it in years. TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic Got word from Torsten Cruel-Sea in Windhelm that a rival Guild is tryin' to get itself started. TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic Not only that but they're givin' us thieves a bad name by murderin' their marks. TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic Get over there and see what you can do. TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic We actually got a request from one of the most powerful families in Whiterun, the Battle-Born's. TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic Make your way up there and look for Olfrid. He says he's got a matter that requires a delicate touch, and I suggested you for the job. TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic Don't make me the fool and let me down, all right? TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic I want you to head out to Markarth and speak to Endon. He's a silversmith... has some kind of a shop there. TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic His father was a good friend of the Guild back in the day, and we could really use his family's influence back on our side. TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic I need you to make your way to Solitude and talk to Erikur. He's lookin' to run some kind of a shill job. TGRShellCapQuestDetailBranchTopic Now, he's not exactly goin' to welcome you with open arms, but keep your cool. Do this job right and we've just made an important friend out there. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchMKTopic I hear Endon's quite pleased to have his merchandise back. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchMKTopic He's a powerful ally in Markarth. Should help the Guild regain a foothold in the west. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchSOTopic Erikur assures me that Captain Volf will spend pretty much the rest of his life clapped in irons. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchSOTopic Best of all, he's also pledged to open doors for us in Solitude and to get things rollin' again. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWHTopic Torsten was gratified the death of his daughter was avenged and the heirloom was returned. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWHTopic At this very moment, he's layin' the groundwork for the Guild to reestablish itself in Windhelm. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWHTopic Burnin' that banner was a nice touch, too. Should send a clear message to the Summerset Shadows that we're a force to be reckoned with. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWHTopic Torsten was gratified the death of his daughter was avenged and the heirloom was returned. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWHTopic At this very moment, he's layin' the groundwork for the Guild to reestablish itself in Windhelm. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWHTopic I wished you could have sent more of a message to those Summerset Shadows upstarts, but hopefully they'll stay out of our business. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWRTopic Olfrid sent ahead his compliments. Looks like his friend Arn is soon to be released thanks to his brand new identity. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWRTopic More importanly, he's pledged the full support of the Battle-Born clan to the Thieves Guild. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWRTopic Need a ride? TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWRTopic I can take you to any of the hold capitals. TGRShellCapQuestDoneBranchWRTopic My carriage is the safest way to travel. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic The Guild's at full strength and we have you to thank for it. We've had our share of dark times, and now they seem like a distant memory. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic I'm goin' to tell you'll somethin' you'll never hear me say again, and if you tell anyone I told you, I'll deny it. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic When you walk through the Guild, don't be ashamed to hold your head high 'cause you're the best damn thief in the place. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic Success means that the Guild is gettin' stronger. We've picked up another merchant and a new recruit. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic Bein' a thief is like a second skin for you, ain't it? Never seen anythin' like it. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic If you don't watch out, you might even earn Vex's respect. Now that'd be something, eh? TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic We're still growin' by leaps and bounds thanks to you. Another merchant's just moved into the space outside the Flagon. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic You're a natural. Never seen anythin' like it. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic We've got a long way to go, but don't let that bother you... it's a lot farther than we've been in years. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic I think you'll find that the Guild is beginnin' to grow. We've had a merchant move into the space right outside the Flagon. TGRShellCapQuestDoneMiscBranchTopic It's nice to shake the cobwebs off and get things rollin' again. Keep this up and I can see a bounty headed our way. TGRShellDUBranchTopic When a client needs us to eliminate another, we don't operate like the Dark Brotherhood. We find alternate means to get them out of the way. TGRShellDUBranchTopic We send you to plant some phony evidence in the mark's house, and then tip off the town guard... the rest takes care of itself. TGRShellDUBranchTopic Sound like you can handle it? TGRShellDUBranchTopic Someone wants to see this mark suffer. They're paying a good bit of coin to have us plant the evidence in their house. You in? TGRShellDUBranchTopic This one should be easy. Get in, plant the goods and get out. Quiet and neat. Sound like your kind of job? TGRShellDUBranchTopic The mark must have ticked-off our client badly. He's impatient and keeps asking if the job's done. Can you get him off my back? TGRShellDUBranchTopic Got a good one here. Personal score to settle between myself and this mark. You up for it? TGRShellDUBranchTopic Brynjolf finally got some dirt on the mark and the evidence to back it up. Think you can give him a hand? TGRShellDUBranchTopic This one angered someone pretty high up in the keep. Can I count on you to get this done for me? TGRShellDUBranchTopic Got another personal score to settle and I'd consider it a favor if you'd take the job. Think you can help me out? TGRShellDUBranchTopic Sure, sure. Got one that should be pretty easy, as long as you keep your weapon sheathed. Can you handle it? TGRShellDUBranchTopic Yeah. Someone ticked off Maven and she wants to teach them a lesson... our way. You in? TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept There's a war on. We need every scrap of ore we can get, so we're going to keep digging. Understand? TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept I don't think it's safe mining a cave on top of that crypt. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept Don't be such a coward. We haven't seen any draugr since the mine was cleared. Be grateful. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept Those draugr are going to be back. I can feel it. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept That's comforting. Glad they're keeping watch instead of getting rid of the draugr. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept The guards say no draugr have come out of the mine. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept "We're safe" he says. You'll eat those words when a draugr is tearing into your face. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept They haven't moved out of the caves. I think we're safe. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept Those draugr are going to come up and kill us all. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept Steel your nerves. The draugr are gone. Focus on your mining. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept I feel like any moment, a draugr is going to come and chop my head off. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept How can you say that? This mine was filled with draugr not too long ago. TGRShellDUBranchTopicAccept Feels good to be mining again. TGRShellFOBranchTopic Most of the establishments in Skyrim keep their transactions recorded within business ledgers. TGRShellFOBranchTopic Your job would be to change the numbers in those books so the shortfalls from our other jobs look legit. TGRShellFOBranchTopic Feel like doing a bit of writin'? TGRShellFOBranchTopic This business is a regular target for the Guild. They keep pretty shoddy records, so the job should be a cinch. You in? TGRShellFOBranchTopic We want to waylay a shipment on the way from this business without them even noticin' anything went missin'. Want the job? TGRShellFOBranchTopic Yeah, sure. Got a business on tap that could use a little number rearrangin'. What do you say? TGRShellFOBranchTopic Okay, got just the one for you. Ledger's just beggin' to be changed and the Guild could use the coin. How about it? TGRShellFOBranchTopic Have a client lookin' to have a rival's business ledger changed. Don't know the reason, and don't want to know. Count you in? TGRShellFOBranchTopic Got a personal request from Brynjolf on this numbers job. He says we may hit 'em hard later, and wants to prep their books. Help us out? TGRShellFOBranchTopic These marks keep their ledger all neat and tidy, but they're ripe for some change if you know what I mean. Take it? TGRShellFOBranchTopic All right. Got a simple one. Just get in, change the books and be back in time for last call. So how's about it? TGRShellGFBranchTopic There are all sorts of people wandering around carryin' their valuables on their person... just waitin' for someone like you to pick their pocket. TGRShellGFBranchTopic So, you in for a little fishin'? TGRShellGFBranchTopic Sure, I've got a mark for you. Stole something quite important from a friend of the Guild and we take care of our own. You in? TGRShellGFBranchTopic One of our marks seems to have an item of value we want to add to our vault. Get it for us and you'll receive the usual pay. Sound good? TGRShellGFBranchTopic Got ourselves a freelancer thinks he can muscle in on our territory. How about you teach him some manners, eh? TGRShellGFBranchTopic Maven wants this mark's most prized possession. The bloody fool carries it on his person all the time. So, think you can handle it? TGRShellGFBranchTopic Brynjolf want's this mark's head on a pike, but we'll settle for what the bastard's carryin' instead. Can I count on you? TGRShellGFBranchTopic Got a mark taxed with carryin' a heavy item. Care to lighten' the load? TGRShellGFBranchTopic This brilliant soul decided to pick a fight with a fellow Guild mate. Time for them to pay the piper. Will you help out? TGRShellGFBranchTopic I've got a mark who just got an item from a relative outside of Skyrim. They probably should have been quieter about it. You in? TGRShellHCBranchTopic One of the quickest ways to make some coin in Skyrim is to clear out some of the wealthier homes of their valuables. TGRShellHCBranchTopic If you're interested, I could point out a good place that could use a little housecleaning. TGRShellHCBranchTopic What do you say? TGRShellHCBranchTopic I think we have a nice wealthy home for you to break into. Think you can clear the place of valuables and keep it quiet? TGRShellHCBranchTopic These people just inherited some heirlooms from a relative. Good timing for us, bad timing for them, eh? TGRShellHCBranchTopic Just got a tip on this house... should be stuffed with loot. Care to head over there and find out? TGRShellHCBranchTopic Got a message from one of my people that this place just came into some coin. Should be a good target. Want to take it? TGRShellHCBranchTopic Someone with connections to our Guild wants us to hit this place and send a message by clearing it of valuables. You want to handle it? TGRShellHCBranchTopic Good timing. The people in this home recently got one of your fellow Guild mates sent to jail. How about you make them pay for it. TGRShellHCBranchTopic You can give this house a once over. I hear they're fairly well-off and probably have lots of good stuff ripe for the picking. Sound good? TGRShellHCBranchTopic The owner of this place just got an inheritance from a relative lost in the war. Sound like something you can sink your teeth into? TGRShellNTBranchTopic Sometimes we like to remind a city that we mean business, so we hit it hard. Just steal whatever we can until we've made an impression. TGRShellNTBranchTopic Simple right? Almost. The catch is it doesn't count if anyone sees you take it. The message needs to be clear; we work in the shadows. TGRShellNTBranchTopic Steal from anywhere in the hold, and you even get to keep everythin' you stole. So, you in? TGRShellNTBranchTopic I always have bedlam jobs. Just remember to hit them fast and don't let them see you. Feel like going for it? TGRShellNTBranchTopic Of course. Don't forget to keep out of sight, it doesn't count if they catch you red-handed. You ready? TGRShellNTBranchTopic Taking an easy job, eh? Well, go and do some damage. Just stick to the shadows and keep out of sight. Want to go for it? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic If it's malachite you're after, you've come to the right place. I'll pay for any you dig up out of Steamscorch Mine. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Kjeld speaks for Kynesgrove. Anyone who says otherwise is aching for a fight. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Roggi and I do the work around here. My wife and brats just sit around on their brains wasting time. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic My wife is a good woman, but every man needs a little variety, you know? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic An outsider? No reason to stop in Kynesgrove. Keep moving. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic The mine's always on the verge of collapse. Good thing I'm around to keep it up. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Morrowind used to be a lovely place, but you couldn't pay me to live there these days. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Most people in Skyrim don't care for Dunmer. Roggi's the only one around here even half-decent. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I should get over to Windhelm more. See how the other Morrowind refugees are getting along. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Seen the remnants of the grove? That... well, that was me. Me and my sister. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Came here to start a lumber mill. Who knew the Nords cared about a bunch of old trees? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic But... well, they did. Sacred, they said. So we work the mines until we've worked it off. Fair enough, I guess. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Oh, great, another wanderer. Slumming it on your way to Windhelm? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Wouldn't even be here if it weren't for my idiot sister. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I can't believe she dragged me all the way to this snowball. I'd rather be broke in Cyrodiil than broke here. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic If these Nords don't let up soon, I might just make a break for it. At least Cyrodiil is warmer than this. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Did you see my husband already? I'm sorry... he can come off a bit rough at times. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I hope you'll stay for a bit. We could certainly use the business. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Let me make this plain and simple. No more jobs until you pay Vex. No get to it. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Aren't you supposed to be in Markarth? Finish that job and we'll talk about more. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Slow down, you have that special request in Windhelm to finish first. After that's done, I'll send you some more jobs. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Before I'm goin' to give you any more work, you need to finish that job in Solitude. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I want you to finish that job in Whiterun first. Then we'll talk about more work. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I handle the fishin', numbers and bedlam jobs... the ones with the more personal touch. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic If break-ins are more your thing, go talk to Vex. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Good, my clients are gettin' impatient. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Bloody good timin'. Just got some more clients. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic All right, anythin' in particular strike your fancy? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic 'Bout time. Brynjolf's been gettin' on me about money. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Great. What do you want to do? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You're not getting anything until you pay the Guild back. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I think you should finish that special assignment Delvin gave you, then we'll talk. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I handle the burglary, shill, sweep and heist jobs. Most of them involve breaking and entering. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic If you don't like that kind of work, talk to Delvin. He runs the more up-close and personal jobs. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Okay, what'll it be? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Got plenty, take your pick. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Got more than you can handle. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I bet you are. Which one do you want? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Good, we could use the coin. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You dare challenge me? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I cannot be defeated! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic My power is supreme! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Come on, show an old man what you got! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic This is really quite a nice town when you get down to it. Just look at the view! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I'll cut out your eyes and sell 'em for coin! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Got some nice comfy beds at the Braidwood Inn, if you're looking to flop down somewhere. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You're nothing but a joke! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I've never seen you before. Leave me alone! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Don't make me laugh! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic My blade thirsts for your blood! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic My pa runs this town, and you're going to be in big trouble if you mess with me. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Come on. Show me you've got what it takes! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You don't look so tough. I'll bet I could take you. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You just made the last mistake of your life! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Why are you still here? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I'll spit on your corpse! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Boy, did you miss all the excitement. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I've killed legions like you! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic There's too much of an obsession these days with knives and arrows. You can kill someone just as easily with a well-placed spell. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Is that the best you can do? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You like creepin' around in the shadows? Magic'll work just as good there as anywhere else. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I claim your soul for Nocturnal! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic The shadows will be your undoing! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Nobody ever expects a fireball from the darkened corner. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Your death will be swift! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Talk to Babette about potions. She's the creepy little girl - can't miss her. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I'm having fun, are you? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Yes, yes. I'm your brother and I'm supposed to greet you respectfully. So "hello." There, satisfied? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Call yourself a warrior? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I believed in Cicero. But he's betrayed us all. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You're losing a lot of blood. Maybe you should sit down for a moment. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Don't let my appearance throw you off. I'm older than you. A lot older. Getting bitten by a vampire when you're ten will do that to a girl. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Come on! I dare you! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic It's been quite a boon, looking like a child. No one ever suspects a thing. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Come on, at least try to hurt me. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic My targets make the mistake of not perceiving me as a threat. Last mistake they ever make. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Die Imperial! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I could brew some potions for you. Or train you in Alchemy. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Where's your precious Emperor now? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You looking to buy some potions? Or maybe I could help train you to make your own? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You call this a fight? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Let me guess - Astrid failed to mention I'm her husband? She has a tendency to do that. Doesn't want the others thinking she plays favorites. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Wake me up when you're ready to fight me for real. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic What do you want, beef roast? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You want me to close my eyes? Would that even things up a little? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You're part of a family now, hamshank. I trust you... you trust me. Got it? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Hahahaha! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Don't take offense to the nicknames, morsel. I'm a werewolf. Hard not to think of you as a snack. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Getting tired yet? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Hello, tidbit. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Die, will you?! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic It was a truly terrifying scene. Beautiful, in some respects. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I've seen fresh recruits with more skill than you! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Does death not come to us all? Is it not a certainty? I am, therefore, honored to be doom's herald. To play some part in a being's inevitable end. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I'm not impressed. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I have no problem killing you. How do you feel about dying? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic In the Dark Brotherhood, I found acceptance, love, and my life's true purpose. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Death is but the time to sleep forever, in the Void. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Ready to give up? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Sithis' whisper be upon you, brother. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Hahahaha! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I'll enjoy killing you! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Sithis' whisper be upon you, sister. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Now you're just making me mad. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic It only hurts when I laugh. He he he. Owww... TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Your blood is such a pretty shade of red! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Ah, you're back. It was good to fight alongside you. I'm sure people won't be forgetting that wedding anytime soon, hmm? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic The Emperor can kiss my ass! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Me, I have been part of the Dark Brotherhood from the day I first hatched. I am a Shadowscale, you see. Born under the sign of the Shadow. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Damn you! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I serve Astrid, and this Sanctuary. Life is simple, and good. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I eat Legionnaires like you for breakfast! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic The Shadowscales are all but forgotten. An ancient tradition, from another time. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I got something for you. But you'll have to come and get it. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Greetings, brother. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I'm getting bored. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Greetings, sister. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Are you trying? 'Cause I'm not. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Oh, hello hello! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Die damnit! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Come on, you're not even trying! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You require the services of the Fool of Hearts? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Go ahead. I'll follow your lead and watch your back. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Greetings, Listener! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I guess we'd better try this way. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic How may I serve the Listener? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Hmm. That doesn't go anywhere. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Brother. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic The Old Hroldan Inn is still open, bless poor Eydis's memory. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Sister. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Skuli owns the inn with his mother gone, but I handle the rooms. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Need something? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You should head on inside. Eydis or Skuli can take care of you. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I work for Eydis. She runs the inn. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You'll be looking to rent Tiber Septim's room I take it? TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Old Hroldan is the stone that the Empire's history is built on. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Don't underestimate my son, Skuli. He may look young, but he can handle any drunks we get. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Skuli's father is off fighting for the Empire. I'm sure he's just fine. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Skuli's father is off fighting for the Stormcloaks. I'm sure he's just fine. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic This is the Old Hroldan Inn. Clean beds and strong drink. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic My mother's dead, but I won't close the inn. I've hired Leontius to run things. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic If you drink too much, you're out. No drunks. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Changed the linens myself. They're fresh. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Now, take Shagrol's hammer back to Largashbur, and we'll see about whipping the rest of them into shape. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Well, the giants took care of him, and you took care of the giants. Two problems solved at once. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic But, you took care of him and the giants. Two problems solved at once. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Yamarz was a fool. Always trying to scheme his way out of responsibility. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic If you bring mead, you're welcome here! Even if you don't, you're still welcome! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic All this talk of dragons is making people antsy. Nonsense! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic I visited the meaderies of Riften once, as a lad. Wish I had their skill. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Working our mine is dangerous work, but Dravynea keeps it going. Well, Dravynea and the promise of more mead. TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic You've got a fine look about you. Come have a visit at the Braidwood Inn. Better than home! TGRShellRadiantBranchTopic Welcome to Kynesgrove. If you want to do business here, you'll have to deal with me. TGRShellSLBranchTopic Every now and again, we like to remind the shopkeepers that we're in charge. TGRShellSLBranchTopic If that means breaking into their strongboxes and stealing something valuable from them, then so be it. TGRShellSLBranchTopic Feel like doing a bit of shopping... the Guild way? TGRShellSLBranchTopic Got a shop owner with a very choice item a client wants to get his hands on if you do the dirty work. TGRShellSLBranchTopic Got a good one here involving a shop, a waylaid shipment of goods and an angry client. You fill in the blanks. You want in? TGRShellSLBranchTopic I have just the place. The owner likes to stash some lovely trinkets in his strongbox like this beauty. Can you get it for us? TGRShellSLBranchTopic The owner of this place just inherited an heirloom from a relative. You want in? TGRShellSLBranchTopic Sure. A client's relative lost this item in a gambling match and they're paying us to get it back. So much for fair play, huh? TGRShellSLBranchTopic The owner of this shop stiffed us on their last protection payment, but we're taking it anyway. You want to help us on this one? TGRShellSLBranchTopic 'Jiit caravan brought this shop a nice piece from Elsweyr. Think you can break into their strongbox and get it for us? TGRShellSLBranchTopic Got a client in desperate need for this item. He won't say what it's for, and we don't care. Can you take this one? TGRVexDecline01 Hey, you approached me. You want to play coward, that's your problem. TGRVexDecline02 Look, I don't like wasting my time. Come back when you decide to get serious. TGRVexDecline03 Not interested? Fine. Then let me offer it to someone with a little more backbone. TGRVexDecline04 You need to start pulling your own weight around here, otherwise I might "forget" to offer you any more jobs. TGRVexDecline05 Fine. I'll just keep all this coin for myself then. TGRVexDecline06 Look, if you just want to sit around the Flagon all day getting drunk, that's your business. Just quit wasting my time. TGRVexDecline07 The last time I checked, gold coins aren't falling from the heavens. You better take some jobs if you want to earn your share. TGRVexDecline08 Keep turning down jobs like this and the Guild will begin to lose respect for you. TGRVexGuildMasterDecline01 Suit yourself. You're the boss. TGRVexGuildMasterDecline02 All right, whatever you want. TGRVexGuildMasterDecline03 No problem, I'll find someone else. Don't worry about it. TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic You've more than proven that the Thieves Guild is back on its feet in our city and earned every bit of your reward. TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic Tell Delvin that he can count on me to provide the influence around here with the right people when he needs it. TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic If you're ever looking to sell any illegally obtained merchandise, I'd also provide my services as a fence. It's the least I can do. TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic Oh, Beem-Ja. I never meant for this. What have I done? TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic Beem-Ja! TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic What are you doing? Get off the road! TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic Get off the road, boy! TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic Haming, get over here! TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic Just walk towards me, come on! TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic Don't look up. Just focus on me. You can do it! TGTQ01EndonAlreadyHaveTopic Legends don't burn down villages. TGTQ01EndonIntroBranchTopic Oh thank goodness! I wasn't sure where else to turn... TGTQ01EndonIntroBranchTopic01 Several months ago I ordered a special silver mold from some artisans in Valenwood by way of a Khajiit Caravan. TGTQ01EndonIntroBranchTopic01 Well, it never arrived. Later I found out that it was robbed by a group of bandits led by someone named Rigel Strong-Arm. TGTQ01EndonIntroBranchTopic02 Look, I talked to the Jarl, the Steward, the Housecarl... everyone. They all told me their resources were spread too thin right now. TGTQ01EndonIntroBranchTopic02 Word on the street says that the Thieves Guild is coming back into its own in Markarth so I figured... TGTQ01EndonIntroBranchTopic03 Exactly. TGTQ01EndonIntroBranchTopic03 Look, this mold is irreplaceable. I'll pay you well for its return and I can also prove to be quite a valuable ally to the Thieves Guild. TGTQ01EndonIntroBranchTopic04 Yes, indeed. The only thing I can tell you is that the mold was taken to the bandit's hideout... a small cottage called Pinewatch. TGTQ01EndonIntroBranchTopic04 I'm not sure how many men they have inside, but I trust that won't be an issue for you. Good luck. TGTQ01EndonOutroBranchTopic You've more than proven that the Thieves Guild is back on its feet in our city and earned every bit of your reward. TGTQ01EndonOutroBranchTopic Tell Delvin that he can count on me to provide the influence around here with the right people when he needs it. TGTQ01EndonOutroBranchTopic If you're ever looking to sell any illegally obtained merchandise, I'd also provide my services as a fence. It's the least I can do. TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic I thought I was clear when I said I didn't know. TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic Endon's mold? I'm afraid you have the wrong place, my friend. You'll find no silversmiths here. TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic I assure you, I have nothing of value. I'm nothing but a poor woodcutter just trying to make ends meet. TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic01 Well uh, Endon is a silversmith in Markarth, so I just assumed... TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic02 So that's how it's going to be, huh? Fine. Take your best shot! TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic03 No harm done. Tell this Endon fellow I hope he finds what he's looking for. TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic04 Well, can't say exactly where the mold is, but something does spring to mind. TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic04 It seems there's this strange button on the wall opposite the fireplace in my house. Always wondered what it was for. TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic04 Think I'm going to head out now. Take a long vacation from woodcutting, you know? Good luck. TGTQ01RhorlakIntroBranchTopic04 Come on, what are trying to do? Insult me? TGTQ02ErikurBalmoraBlueInfoBranchTopic Not sure. I know that it starts with Moon Sugar, but all sorts of other ingredients are added to increase its potency. TGTQ02ErikurBalmoraBlueInfoBranchTopic Used to be a lucrative underworld commodity when Balmora was still standing. Now the stuff is beyond valuable. TGTQ02ErikurBalmoraBlueInfoBranchTopic It's also very illegal. Anyone caught with Balmora Blue looks forward to rotting in jail for a very long time. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic It's about time you got here. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic I'm not accustomed to dealing with people who are unreliable. That's why I asked Delvin to send me his best. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic01 Hmph. That remains to be seen. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic02 That's more like it. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic03 Nothing raises my ire more than having an agreement broken. It's bad for business and it wastes time. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic03 Captain Volf of the Dainty Sload has decided to test my patience on this matter by neglecting to honor a trade agreement we had established. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic04 I need you to help me show him the error of his ways by sneaking on board the Sload and planting some contraband. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic05 You'll need to get your hands on some Balmora Blue from Sabine Nyette down by the docks. She's the first mate on another ship, the Red Wave. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic05 Once you get your hands on it, I want you to plant it in Captain Volf's footlocker. I'll take care of the rest. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic06 Captain Volf is ashore right now and I want the authorities waiting for him when he gets back. TGTQ02ErikurIntroBranchTopic06 Now get going... I don't want to see your face until the job's done. TGTQ02ErikurOutroBranchTopic Yes, I know. In fact, by now, Captain Volf should be on his way to the prisons. TGTQ02ErikurOutroBranchTopic Our contract is complete. Here's a token of my gratitude for your efforts. TGTQ02ErikurOutroBranchTopic Oh, convey my compliments to Delvin for me. Tell him I'll be happy to reopen whatever doors he needs in Solitude. TGTQ02ErikurRedWaveBranchTopic There's pirates and then there's the crew of the Red Wave. They're in a class by themselves. TGTQ02ErikurRedWaveBranchTopic They usually make runs along the coast shipping all sorts of contraband to and from Morrowind. TGTQ02ErikurRedWaveBranchTopic Rumor has it they can get you anything for the right price. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Well then, you're talking to the right person. I'm the only one left in Tamriel that can get my hands on it. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic It's damn near impossible to find anymore. You want to buy it off of me? TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic I do. Still want to buy it? TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Oblivion take them. Every miserable last one of them. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Move it soldier. Spread the word. Go. Go. Go. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic The men are already gathering at the gates. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic This is it! Time to see what these Stormcloaks are made of. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Sir, I tried. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Why didn't you say so immediately?! TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Sir, they're on the move. They'll be at the gates at any moment! TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic What?! TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Sir! TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Damnit. What's he waiting for? TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Not long. They're hiding in the country side. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Sir. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic You Imperials are efficient, I'll give you that. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic How long until they arrive? TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Already taken care of. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic No. Of course not. Just - don't let me down Cipius. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic We'll need to set up water brigades to combat the flames. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic If you prefer I took my men and left... TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic My men are fearless. It's the Imperial milk drinkers I'm worried about. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic The men will be fighting in flames. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic So, he wants to take my city, walls intact. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic My scouts tell me they're loading them with fire. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Damnit. Where'd they get catapults? The city walls are already falling apart as it is. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic They have catapults. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic The outer walls are strong. If we can hold them there... TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Breathe! TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic But... sir... TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Take a moment to breathe, soldier. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Sir! I... I have...
TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic Sir! TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic01a Good. Here, take this key. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic01a The Balmora Blue is locked in a chest under the docks near the Red Wave. Hope you like getting wet. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic01a Sorry, guess it's too rich for your blood. Come back when you find the coin. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic01b I'm afraid not. How else can a poor, overworked sailor like myself expect to earn a living? TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic01c I'm sorry you feel my illegal contraband is overpriced, perhaps you should bring it up at the next merchant guild meeting. TGTQ02SabineBalmoraBlueBranchTopic01c Look, you want it, I got it. You know the price, so talk to me when you want to cough up the gold. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic You're here! And not a moment too soon. If anything should happen to Arn, there'll be hell to pay. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic Who are you? Where's Gavros? TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic What the... TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic I'd almost given up hope. Let me get the door... TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic G...Gavros? Is that you? TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic01 A close friend of mine. We fought together on the battlefield for many years until old age got the better of us. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic01 Now it's up to me to save him one more time... this time from the executioner's block in Solitude. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic02 Hold a moment. This is more than a simple prison break. I want to have Arn's name stricken from the record books permanently. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic02 I'm setting him up with a new identity. It's the only way to throw the guard permanently off his trail. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic02a The city guard in Solitude is seeking Arn for a serious crime. When he fled here, he was arrested for drunken behavior. Can you imagine? TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic02a Fortunately, his identity isn't known to the authorities in Whiterun, so there's still a chance to save him. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic03 The job is two-fold. First, steal a letter that was sent from Solitude warning Whiterun's guard to be on the lookout for Arn. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic03 The second is to change Arn's name in the prison registry to his new identity. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic04 If it was easy, I would have hired a local thug instead of a professional. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic04 You see both of these items are kept inside Dragonsreach, and they don't allow visitors inside the Jarl's or the Steward's chambers. TGTQ03OlfridIntroBranchTopic04 One more thing. If you get caught, I can't afford to be connected to you. Remember that before you do anything stupid. TGTQ03OlfridLetterBranchTopic I have eyes within Dragonsreach. They tell me that all correspondence from other holds are sent to the Jarl's private chambers. TGTQ03OlfridOutroBranchTopic Arn? Never heard of him. TGTQ03OlfridOutroBranchTopic I guess that means you're finished. Here's your payment. TGTQ03OlfridOutroBranchTopic Tell Delvin that he has my support and all the weight it carries in Whiterun from now on. I think he'll be quite pleased. TGTQ03OlfridRegistryBranchTopic It's a well-known fact that the steward keeps all of the records on Whiterun's prisoners in a large book. TGTQ03OlfridRegistryBranchTopic My sources tell me you can find that book in a study in his quarters. TGTQ03OlfridRegistryBranchTopic Change Arn's entry in the book to anything you want and they'll be forced to let him go after he serves a few weeks. TGTQ04Goodbyes I'm sorry I mislead you. Return when this is over, and we'll talk about my involvement in the Thieves Guild. TGTQ04Hellos I've already told you everything I know, I swear. TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic Yes, can I help you with something? TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic01 Fjotli... Fjotli... Where have I heard that name? TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic01 Oh, of course, the poor girl who was murdered. Such a beautiful young thing... a tragedy to be certain. TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic02 How dare you! TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic02 You're accusing me of taking part such a... such a... heinous act? I should have you arrested for even suggesting such a thing! TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic03 Now, just a moment. Let's think about this... you know, discuss it like two rational people. TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic03 I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea what you're speaking of. TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic05 Now, just a moment. Let's think about this... you know, discuss it like two rational people. TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic05 Now you're threatening me? What in the name of the Divines is wrong with you? TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic06 Think I'm defenseless? Well you're wrong! TGTQ04NiranyeBranchTopic07 Next time you wish to accuse someone of a crime, I suggest you obtain proof! TGTQ04NiranyeFjotliBranchTopic I don't know. Rumor has it that she was murdered... butchered by a madman. I really try and stay out of such things. TGTQ04NiranyeFjotliBranchTopic Torsten might think Linwe or myself are responsible for Fjotli's death, but I can assure you nothing could be further from the truth. TGTQ04NiranyeNoteBranchTopic What do you want now? You still hurling baseless accusations? TGTQ04NiranyeNoteBranchTopic01 Now, just a moment. Let's think about this... you know, discuss it like two rational people. TGTQ04NiranyeReturnBranchTopic What do you want now? You still hurling baseless accusations? TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic Look, I had no choice. They're crazy... I could be killed! TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic01 It's a guild of Altmer thieves, they call themselves the Summerset Shadows. TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic01 Their leader, Linwe, he's the worst of the lot. He steals valuables from the dead. TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic01a No! Linwe prefers stealing from the deceased. Digs up the corpses, breaks into the Hall of the Dead... TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic01a He even stole that locket right off that poor murdered girl's body... or what was left of it. TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic01a I said, next prisoner! TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic01a There it is again. Did you hear that? TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic01a What was that? TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic02 I used to fence for the Thieves Guild in Skyrim a long time ago. TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic02 When Linwe moved into the area, he contacted me and said if I didn't fence for them, he'd kill me. TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic03 If I tell you, you need to promise not to kill me. TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic03 I'd prove to be quite an asset to the Thieves Guild... I'm one of the best fences in Skyrim. TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic04 Linwe is holed up at a place called Uttering Hills Cave. He's got his entire Guild there, so be careful. TGTQ04NiranyeTruthBranchTopic04 After you're done with all this, come back anytime, and I'll make good on my end of the bargain. TGTQ04TorstenIntroBranchTopic My daughter Fjotli... she was murdered a few months ago. Left her laying on the ground in a pool of her own blood. TGTQ04TorstenIntroBranchTopic I assume they were after her valuables... she always wore far too much jewelry in public. When I told her it'd be the death of her, I never thought... TGTQ04TorstenIntroBranchTopic01 No need to explain, I'm well aware of your Guild's methods. TGTQ04TorstenIntroBranchTopic01 It took me weeks, but I finally tracked down the killer. A bloody Altmer at that. Can you imagine? TGTQ04TorstenIntroBranchTopic02 Let's just say I'm a firm believer in an eye for an eye and leave it at that. TGTQ04TorstenIntroBranchTopic02 He fancied himself a thief in some sort of a new Guild forming around here. Gave me some valuable information before... well, you know. TGTQ04TorstenIntroBranchTopic03 Well, like I told Delvin, I think we can help each other. You recover what I'm looking for and take out a rival Guild in the process. TGTQ04TorstenIntroBranchTopic04 Exactly. One of the pieces stolen from her was a silver locket, a Cruel-Sea family heirloom. I want it back. TGTQ04TorstenIntroBranchTopic05 The only name I have is Niranye. Has a house right here in Windhelm. That's where you should begin looking. TGTQ04TorstenOutroBranchTopic It pains me to see this locket... to be reminded of Fjotli once more, but I'm glad it's back where it belongs. TGTQ04TorstenOutroBranchTopic Tell Delvin that if he still desires to have my support for the Thieves Guild in Windhelm, he's got it. ThrowVoiceLine Hey, ugly! ThrowVoiceLine Hey, slug-breath! ThrowVoiceLine Hey, skeever butt! ThrowVoiceLine Hey, cheese brain! ThrowVoiceLine Hey, melon nose! ThrowVoiceLine Hey, troll bait! TrainingTooHigh01 There's nothing more I can teach you. TrainingTooHigh02 You've already learned all I can teach you. TrainingTooHigh03 You already know all that I know. TreoyHellos Oh, a customer. Sorry you had to hear that. TutorialAlchemyPotionTopic Long as you clean up. You know how to use it right? Mix a couple of ingredients together, see what happens. TutorialAlchemyPotionTopic A little Wheat and Blisterwort makes a healing potion, if you didn't know. TutorialAlchemyPotionTopic We have plenty of ingredients for sale, too. TutorialBlacksmithingArmorTopic This looks good. You put time into your blades, they'll serve you well when you need them. TutorialBlacksmithingArmorTopic You want to keep helping? How about you make some armor? Let's start by tanning some leather on the rack. TutorialBlacksmithingFinalTopic You have talent. Keep working at your craft, and you'll be a fine smith one day. TutorialBlacksmithingFinalTopic Why don't you keep that dagger and helmet? Maybe you'll remember me when you're making Skyforge Steel, huh? TutorialBlacksmithingForgeArmorTopic Ah, good. A lot of weapons and armor need leather for straps, fittings, that kind of thing. TutorialBlacksmithingForgeArmorTopic Let's see if you can make a hide helmet. Here's the rest of what you need. TutorialBlacksmithingForgeTopic Yes, actually. How about you smith me an iron dagger? Here's everything you need to make one. Go ahead. TutorialBlacksmithingImproveArmorTopic I should hire you to be my assistant at this rate. TutorialBlacksmithingImproveArmorTopic Let's improve the fit. Take this leather to the workbench over there. TutorialBlacksmithingTemperTopic Not bad, but it's a little dull. How about you sharpen it up? Just need a bit of metal and the grindstone over there. TutorialEnchantingBranchTopic Ah, a student of the craft. You'll need to start by learning an enchantment. TutorialEnchantingBranchTopic Take an enchanted weapon or piece of armor, then use the Arcane Enchanter to learn its secrets. The item is destroyed in the process, so be wary. TutorialEnchantingBranchTopic Once you know an enchantment, you'll need a filled soul gem, and something to enchant. You'll use the Arcane Enchanter for that, too. TutorialEnchantingBranchTopic Of course, I have everything you need for sale, if you have the coin. TutorialEnchantingBranchTopic I think we're done here. Understand I understand. UniqueVoicesHello Hmm? UniqueVoicesHello That someone would attack Jorrvaskr... it's unthinkable. UniqueVoicesHello Look at that. UruinilTroubledTopic Burying the past is much harder than burying remains. I'm... I'm afraid of what you will think of me if I tell you about the things I've done. VC01BlackSoulGemTopic They are rare things, I have one I picked up during my research of the Oblivion realms but it is a precious item. VC01CureInfo It requires a filled black soul gem. You will need to kill someone. VC01CureInfo When you have a gem and have filled it return to me and I will perform the ritual. I will bring life to your dead body, vampire. VC01FilledBlackSoulGemTopic Very well. Meet me at the summoning circle in the marsh at dawn. We shall banish the creature you have become. VC01FilledBlackSoulGemTopic Which is utterly useless at the moment. You need to fill it with a soul. VC01QuestInfo I know many things. I have studied things beyond the reach of most humans, traveled the Oblivion planes, seen things one should not see. VC01QuestInfo I have met Daedra and Dwemer and everything in between and I know enough to see a vampire where others would see a man. VC01QuestStartTopic Not many come to see me. What do you want? VC01RitualCompletionDialogue2 You are human again. Like the rest of us. VC01RitualCompletionDialogueTopic The ritual is complete. VC01RitualCompletionDialogueTopic I call forth that power! Accept the soul that we offer! VC01RitualCompletionDialogueTopic As in death there is new life, in Oblivion there is a beginning for that which has ended. VC01RitualCompletionDialogueTopic I call upon Oblivion realms. The home of those who are not our ancestors. Answer my plea! VC01RitualStartAgreement As you desire. VC01RitualStartAgreement Stand in the center of the circle. VC01RitualStartTopic Good, you're here. VC01RumorsTopic They say Falion of Morthal has studied vampires, draugr and all matter of undead. VC01SoulGemPurchaseTopic I would not sell it to just anyone but I'll make an exception for you. The cost to replace the gem is quite high. VC01SoulGemPurchaseTopic I believe this gem is worth more than you are at the moment. VC01SoulGemPurchaseTopic Ah, you mentioned something that would convince us the festival should take place but I didn't expect King Olaf's lost verse. Please proceed. VC01SoulGemPurchaseTopic I am, Jarl. I wish to present King Olaf's verse from the Poetic Edda. Recovered this very day from the Bards Tomb. VC01SoulGemPurchaseTopic Ah, Viarmo. I assume you are here to petition for the reinstatement of the Burning of King Olaf Festival. VC01SunlightTopic I met several of your kind during my studies of life-extending magics. I even considered becoming a vampire myself. VC01SunlightTopic In the end, vampirism would endanger my ward Agni which would defeat the intended purpose. WE01Cry (Sobbing) WE01Cry I… I don't know, it wasn't me. I swear! WE01Cry Honest, I didn't take it! WE01Cry Look at me when I'm talking to you, eh? WE01Cry You start flapping that jaw of yours or I'll start flapping it for you. You understand me? WE01Cry Where'd you stash it? WE01Cry Am I going have to beat it out of you? Is that what you want? WE01Cry What do you need, guardian? WE01Cry Yes, champion of Azura? WE01Cry The Twilight watches us all, guardian. WE01Cry Just glad all that business with Malyn is over with. What did you need? WE01Cry I don't like doing business with Azura's faithful. Make it quick. WE01Cry No. Not like this. WE01KillThemBoth (Sigh) Let's just kill them both, eh? WE01Whimper (Whimpering) WE17Excuse Fine. If you can't pay with coin, you'll pay with your life! WE17ForcegoodbyeTopic Go on, get out of here! WE17ForcegoodbyeTopic Get out of my face! WE17ForcegreetTopic You there! Ah... citizen. This area is off limits. WE17ForcegreetTopic You are interfering in Imperial business. Yeah, so you'll have to pay us a fine... of say, 100 gold. Pay up, citizen. WE17ForcegreetTopic Grant me the power to break through this barrier and to send the Skull to the depths of Oblivion! WE17ForcegreetTopic The Skull hungers. It yearns for memories and leaves nightmares in its wake. WE17ForcegreetTopic I call upon you, Lady Mara! WE17Imperial Well in that case. You'll have to hand over your life as well as your coin. WE17Imperial Probably not, but it's worth a try! WE17Imperial And what, you think that'll solve all your problems? WE17Imperial To the Inn for a drink, of course! Where else could I even go in this gods-forsaken town? WE17Imperial Don't just walk away from me! Where do you think you're going? WE17PayFine The, um, Emperor thanks you... Now shove off! WE17PayFine Er, rather, have a nice day, citizen. WE17Refuse If you insist. Come on boys. This'll be fun. WE17Sons We'll see about that. Won't we boys? WE23Tresspass Get out of here! WE23Tresspass This is my treasure! WE23Tresspass I'm not kidding. I'll hurt you! WE24Convince Indeed. One should find his death while he can still call himself a proper man. WE24Convince We Orc men are not like these Nords and Imperials who carry on until they are grey and feeble and their hair falls out. WE24Convince To cling to something past its usefulness is unseemly, how much more so when that thing is you? WE24Help Perhaps... WE24Help Are you sure about this? WE24MainTopic I am waiting for a good death. WE24MainTopic If you are not here to grant me a good death, then you can leave. WE24SharedGoodbye You should leave. I don't want you scaring off my good death. WE24What Yes. Were I to simply lay down and die, it would not please Malacath. WE24Why My time has come. I am old. Too old to become chief. It would be wrong for me to take wives at this age. So I will die. WE24Why Malacath has given me a vision of a glorious death. I am to wait here until it finds me. WE24Why As you can see, it has not yet arrived. WE24Yes Hmm. We shall see. WE25ForcegreetGoodbye No time to talk. Snitch or double-cross me and I'll kill you. I mean it! WE25ForceGreetTopic Take this and hold onto it. I'll be back for it later. I'll pay you good. Don't lose it. WE25ForceGreetTopic Did you see someone run past just now? WE25Here Yes! How'd you get this? Never mind, here. It's not much, but its something. WE25Here I'm going to track down that thief and murder him! WE25No Well, if you do, grab him and yell. Bastard stole from me. WE25WentThatWay Great! Thanks! Bastard stole from me. I'll catch him though! WE31Explain See, my grandfather was a wizard. My father wouldn't talk about him much. But I found some of his things in the attic. Including this staff. WE31Explain After that I thought I was turning into a wizard too, because dead things near me would come to life again for while. WE31Explain I even went to the College of Winterhold. But they just laughed at me. The magic is in the staff, not in me they said. WE31MainBranchTopic Oh... hello there. Didn't notice you come up. I was focusing my magicka. WE31MainBranchTopic Or at least, I thought I was. I don't really know what I'm doing. WE31MainBranchTopic Rise up and live again! WE31MainBranchTopic I grant you a new life! WE31MainBranchTopic Come on, get up! WE31MainBranchTopic This should work. I've done it before. WE31MainBranchTopic Gah! This staff is useless... I'm useless. The whole world is useless! WE31MainBranchTopic This way. WE31MainBranchTopic Come on, hurry up. WE31MainBranchTopic Better to stick together down here. WE31MainBranchTopic This looks like the way. WE31MainBranchTopic Come on, hurry up. WE31MainBranchTopic Better to stick together down here. WE31MayI In fact. Keep it. I must have used up the magic in the staff or something. It's just a dumb stick of wood now. WE31Mean You don't have to tell me that. WE31Nice I used to think so, too.

Guard, help! WEDL03Goodbye01 Indeed. If we ever get there. WEDL03PlautisDialogTopic Don't bother me, peasant. I've had a long journey and paid too much coin on these gifts to be late to Vittoria's wedding. WEDL03SaloniaDialogTopic Ugh. Speak to my husband if you must. WEDL03SaloniaDialogTopic Get away from me, you Skyrim trash. WEDL04HusbandBranchTopic Just get away from me. We've got nothing left to steal. WEDL04HusbandBranchTopic I bet the wedding was amazing... and we missed the whole thing. WEDL04HusbandBranchTopic Leave me alone. I just want to find my way out of this accursed province. WEDL04HusbandBranchTopic When we get back to Cyrodiil, I swear I will hire an army of battlemages to come up here and set fire to the whole damned province. WEDL04HusbandBranchTopic And you're worried about your shoes? WEDL04HusbandBranchTopic Wha... Your shoes? We get robbed by bandits, my clothes torn to shreds by some giant cat, our bodyguard eaten by a dragon... WEDL04HusbandBranchTopic I hate it here. Those were my favorite shoes, ruined and for what? We never even made it to the wedding. WEDL04HusbandBranchTopic J'zargo awaits word of how well his scrolls work. WEDL04WifeBranchTopic Ugh. It's talking to me. WEDL04WifeBranchTopic I hate this place. I hate the trees. I hate the rocks. And I hate the snow. WEDL04WifeBranchTopic Clearly you have no idea who I am you or you wouldn't dare approach me. WEDL05DialogueBranchTopic I've got a message for you from Louis Letrush. This is for double crossing him. WEDL05DialogueBranchTopic I'm on my way to Windhelm to join up with the Stormcloaks. Ulfric has the right of it. WEDL05DialogueBranchTopic The Empire is in shambles. They've banned the worship of Talos. WEDL05DialogueBranchTopic I may have roots in Cyrodiil, but Skyrim's as much my home as any Nord's. WEDL05DialogueBranchTopic I'm on my way to Solitude to join the Legion. A united Empire is better for everyone. WEDL05DialogueBranchTopic I was born and raised in Skyrim, but the Nords treat us like dirt. WEDL05DialogueBranchTopic I want to be on the right side. WEDL06ThugTopic This has nothing to do with you, so back off. WEDL06ThugTopic You! You must have told Maven about the horse. If you'd just stuck to the plan, I wouldn't be in this mess. WEDL06ThugTopic No, how did you find me? Just give me more time, I can pay Maven back! WEDL06ThugTopic Maven sends her regards Letrush. WEDL06ThugTopic Hello there fellow, traveler. One itinerant minstrel and wandering wastrel, at your service. WEDL06ThugTopic Hello there, friend. How lucky for you to chance upon a bard on the road. WEDL06ThugTopic Ah, smell that fresh air? Truly, this is a good place to play a song. WEDL06ThugTopic The life of adventure and song is the life for us, eh friend? WEDL07RavingsPostQuestTopic You have it! The blessed Wabbajack! You must use it on me. You must. WEDL07RavingsPostQuestTopic You're the one who returned blessed Sheogorath. I would be honored to be Wabbajacked by you, your grace. WEDL07RavingsPostQuestTopic Wabbajack Wabbajack Wabbajack Wabbajack. WEDL07RavingsTopic Don't go to the Blue Palace. The master is on vacation. Don't listen to Dervenin. Don't do it. WEDL07RavingsTopic The master has gone but Dervenin will find him. Dervenin should not have gone. WEDL07RavingsTopic Vacation is where the head is. That is what Dervenin told us about our master. He's cozy in his Solitude. WEDL08DialogueBranchTopic Hey! There you are, you drunken bastard. I did it, so pay up. WEDL08DialogueBranchTopic Whoa, not so fast there, friend. You owe me money. WEDL08DialogueBranchTopic You and Sam dared me to go into that bandit camp. Well I did and brought back his stupid hat like you said, so give me the 10,000 gold you promised. WEDL08DialogueBranchTopic We agreed to 750 gold. I want my money. WEDL08Intimidate All right... All right... Fine. I thought we were friends, but you're a real jerk, you know that? WEDL08Intimidate Are you kidding me? I fought off all those bandits. I'm not afraid of you. WEDL08NoMoney So you're telling me you and Sam just sent me in there to die, then? I want my money, you bastard. WEDL08NoMoney If there's one thing I hate more than a mean-spirited drunk, it's one who can't settle their debts. WEDL08Pay Thanks. You and Sam drink too hard for me. Think I'll take my gold and go buy a nice bit of swamp in Black Marsh. WEDL08Pay Thanks. You and Sam drink too hard for me. Think I'll take my gold and go buy something for this headache. WEDL08Persuasion Well... all right. Just because we are friends. Give me, say... 750 gold and we can call it even. WEDL08Persuasion Nice try, but those bandits almost killed me. Now pay up. WEDL08WalkAway Hey, where do you think you're going? Come back here. WEDL08WalkingAwayBranchTopic See you, friend. And take it easy on the wine. WEDL08WhoTopic We caroused together with Sam Guevenne, remember? We broke into the Temple of Dibella? How much did you end up drinking? WEDL12CantHelp Then get out of my way. I have to get to a town and find a priest. WEDL12DialogueBranchTopic You there, please you have to help me! I was attacked by a vampire! Do you have a potion or something that can cure this before I turn? WEDL12GivePotion Oh, thank the gods. Here, take this with my thanks. WEDL12WhereDidThisHappen Here I'll show you on your map so you can stay away. Please, if you can help me let me know or get out of my way so I can try to find a priest. WEJS02BranchTopic I'm collecting ingredients to bring to the Gourmet. He'll think my tastes so refined when I offer them to him. WEJS02BranchTopic You have heard of the Gourmet? WEJS02Gift Allow me to give you this, the fork I used the first time I tasted one of your dishes. Oh, and these ingredients I've been collecting for you. WEJS02Gift I've risked life and limb so that you may create another masterpiece. Make sure to think of me when you use them! WEJS02Gourmet Oh, my! You? It is an honor! Your food has opened my eyes to the wonders this world can hold. WEJS02Gourmet I've cooked every dish in your book, and I must say your brilliance is inspiring. My technique surely doesn't even approach yours... but whose would? WEJS02Have Then you know that Gourmet keeps his identity a secret. I'm hoping to discover who he is, so I can tell him how he changed my life. WEJS02Have For all I know, the Gourmet is a woman! WEJS02Hello I can't believe I just met the Gourmet! WEJS02InSkyrim You know, I've heard the Gourmet is in Skyrim right now... WEJS02NeverHeard You've not heard of the Gourmet? Author of "Uncommon Taste"? He's a wizard with a spatula. Well, not an actual wizard, but his recipes are legendary. WEJS03MainTopic Thanks for the help. The Reach has been crawling with Forsworn lately. WEJS03MainTopic It's a wonder people can get anywhere around here. Maybe I'll avoid this entire hold for awhile. That said... I do have a few things to sell. WEJS09MainTopic I thought I was a goner just now. Thanks for the help, and if you need any supplies I have a few to sell. WEJS10MainTopic I'm on a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Azura, the Goddess of Twilight. If you'll excuse me. WEJS10Where In the mountains to the northeast. I'll mark it on your map. WEJS11MainTopic It is the Champion of Namira! I was just about to eat. Here, you should have the first bite. WEJS11NonQuestTopic Don't look at me. I didn't kill her. I was just... making sure the body got buried. WEJS12DA01Attack Azura's Star is ours. Ours! WEJS12DA01Taunt You will pay for Malyn's death, Azura worshipper! WEJS13MainTopic We are traveling to the Shrine of Kynareth in Whiterun. I hear the Gildergreen is more beautiful than ever since it's been restored. WEJS13MainTopic They say that eating the fruit it bears will add years to your life. WEJS14Afflicted I am one of the Afflicted. I'd have been dead from this plague a year ago if not for Peryite's protection. WEJS14HighRock Returning to High Rock. Our shepherd lost his way, and I fear Peryite's wrath may consume those who remain with him. WEJS14HighRock Kesh could tell you more. I just want out of Skyrim as quickly as possible. WEJS14MainTopic Are you finished ogling the grotesque? I suppose I should be grateful you didn't simply attack me. WEJS14RushTopic And I have no more time for talking. Go speak with Kesh if you are so curious. WEJS27BranchTopic Why? What are you gonna do, cry? WEJS27Hello What's a milk drinker like you doing out here? Go home to your mother. WEJS27Hello Get out of my face. WEJS27Persuade Who said anything about trouble? Now get out of my face. WEJS27Persuade Gods, you're boring! WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq's father was also called M'aiq. As was M'aiq's father's father. At least, that's what his father said. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq wishes you well. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq knows much, and tells some. M'aiq knows many things others do not. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq carries two weapons, to be safe. What if one breaks? That would be most unlucky. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq is always in search of calipers, yet finds none. Where could they have gone? WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq hears many stories of war... yet few of them are true. WEMaiqTheLiarHello How does anyone know there was a city of Winterhold? M'aiq did not see it with his eyes. Did you? WEMaiqTheLiarHello Too much magic can be dangerous. M'aiq once had two spells and burned his sweetroll. WEMaiqTheLiarHello What does this mean, to combine magic? Magic plus magic is still magic. WEMaiqTheLiarHello It does not matter to M'aiq how strong or smart one is. It only matters what one can do. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Dragons were never gone. They were just invisible and very, very quiet. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Werebears? Where? Bears? Men that are bears? WEMaiqTheLiarHello Much snow in Skyrim. Enough snow. M'aiq does not want any more. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Snow falls. Why worry where it goes? M'aiq thinks the snowflakes are pretty. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Skyrim was once the land of many butterflies. Now, not so much. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq once walked to High Hrothgar. So many steps, he lost count. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Once M'aiq got in trouble in Riften, and fled to Windhelm. It is good that nobody there cared. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq can travel fast across the land. Some lazy types take carriages. It is all the same to M'aiq. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq does not understand what is so impressive about shouting. M'aiq can shout whenever he wants. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq saw a mudcrab the other day. Horrible creatures. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq loves the people of Skyrim. Many interesting things they say to each other. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Nords are so serious about beards. So many beards. M'aiq thinks they wish they had glorious manes like Khajiit. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq does not remember his childhood. Perhaps he never had one. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq is very practical. He has no need for mysticism. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Nords' armor has lots of fur. This sometimes makes M'aiq nervous. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq was soul trapped once. Not very pleasant. You should think about that once in a while. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Some say Alduin is Akatosh. Some say M'aiq is a Liar. Don't you believe either of those things. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Something strange happens to Khajiit when they arrive in Skyrim. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq has heard the people of Skyrim are better looking than the ones in Cyrodiil. He has no opinion on the matter. All people are beautiful to him. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Why do soldiers bother with target practice? One learns best by hitting real people. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq knows why Falmer are blind. It has nothing to do with the Dwemer disappearing. Really. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq has heard it is dangerous to be your friend. WEMaiqTheLiarHello The people of Skyrim are more open minded about certain things than people in other places. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Some like taking friends on adventures. M'aiq thinks being alone is better. Less arguing about splitting treasure. WEMaiqTheLiarHello Don't try blocking if you have two weapons. You will only get confused. Much better to hit twice anyway. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq knows many things, no? WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq is tired now. Go bother somebody else. WEMaiqTheLiarHello M'aiq is done talking. WEOrcHunterShared01 We are on the hunt. WEOrcHunterShared02 Meat from fresh kills. WERJ01A I was kidnapped by these bandits weeks ago. They locked me up in the towers near Mistwatch. WERJ01C I managed to pick the lock and slip out while the guard slept, but now I'm completely lost. Can you help me, please? WERJ01D Oh, thank you, but I should be fine now that you've shown me the way. But those bandits have to be stopped! WERJ01E They're at Mistwatch. Here, let me show you on your map.... WERJ01E If you can stop them, you'll be a true hero! WERJ02GiveMoney Ha, what a coward. Didn't even put up a proper fight. WERJ02GoodbyeFriend Good luck out there! WERJ02Intimidate Well. I, uh, can see you're not one to be trifled with. Let this be a warning to you! WERJ02Intimidate Nice try, but you don't scare me. WERJ02Nightingale A Nightingale? Oh, I had no idea. My apologies. WERJ02NoMoney Then I guess that's your last request, fool! WERJ02Persuade No, I guess not. Well, get out of here before I change my mind. WERJ02Persuade Yes, actually. You look like you're lousy with gold. WERJ02PlayerThief Of course! I've seen you at the Flagon. My mistake. WERJ02SecondChance I'm not going to ask again. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart All right, hand over your valuables, or I'll gut you like a fish. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Hail, Nightingale! Luck has shined down on me and made me a rich man. Here is your cut, as promised. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Hail, brother! I saw you walking there and thought you might need this. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Hail, sister! I saw you walking there and thought you could use this. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Wonderfully done. Pelagius is finally ready to love himself... and continue hating everyone else. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Don't get too comfortable here, mortal. You may actually earn your way out. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart The self-loathing enhances Pelagius' anger! Ah, but his confidence will shrink with every hit. You must bring the two into balance. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart The attacks he makes on himself can be seen here fully. They are always carried out on the weakest part of his fragile self. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart But the deepest, keenest hatred was for himself. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Ah, now this is a sad path. Pelagius hated and feared many things. Assassins, wild dogs, the undead, pumpernickel... WERJ02ThiefTopicStart All you need to do is find something to wake our poor Pelagius up. You'll find his terrors easy to repel... but persistent. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart You've headed down the path of dreams. Unfortunately for you, Pelagius suffered night terrors from a young age. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart He would lie in bed, paralyzed with fear, imagining his own nightmares coming to life. Ooohhh... Scary. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Well now, that's something to crow about. With Pelagius up and about you're moving right along. We'll both be home in no time. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart With the threat gone Pelagius is under the delusion that he is safe, which means you've helped him... sort of. And we're that much closer to home. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Oho! I thought you'd never figure it out. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart The butler did it! Or is it the advisor? Whoever that man behind the throne was. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart The objective here is simple, you simpleton! Use your Wabbajack to defeat the enemy, while they do the same! WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Oh, but she taught her son well. Pelagius learned at a very early age that danger could come from anywhere. At any time. Delivered... by anyone. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart That woman wielded fear like a cleaver. Or did she wield a cleaver and make people afraid? I never get that part right... WERJ02ThiefTopicStart You see, Pelagius' mother was... well... let us say "unique." Although, I suppose in the grand scheme of things, she was fairly average for a Septim. WERJ02ThiefTopicStart Oh, good choice. Well, good for me. I find everyone being out to get you so terribly entertaining. You might find it... less so. WERJ02WalkAway Don't you walk away from me! WERJ03A They thought I was some other Redguard woman! They just wouldn't leave me alone. I hope they get lost in the wilderness. WERJ03PostQuestTopic Foreigners. What a nuisance! WERJ03PostQuestTopic Next time you're looking to pester someone, make sure it's the right person! WERJ03PostQuestTopic We've made a mistake. Now move along before that mouth of yours gets you into trouble. WERJ03PostQuestTopic What? Oh... you're right. WERJ03PostQuestTopic She doesn't have the scar. WERJ03PostQuestTopic I'm not going anywhere. Now back off before I do something drastic. WERJ03PostQuestTopic Brother, I think she's telling the truth... WERJ03PostQuestTopic I don't have time for this foolishness. Now come along quietly and we won't have to get rough. WERJ03PostQuestTopic I don't know who you think I am, and I don't care. Leave me alone! WERJ03PostQuestTopic Listen, wench, we're on to you. We know who you are, so you'd better come with us right now! WERJ04Force Fine, I'll show you, you big bully. WERJ04KidSellTopic Hey there! Check out what my friend and I found. I'll sell some of it to you, if you want! WERJ04KidSellTopic Why? Why do you pursue me? WERJ04KidSellTopic It is done. I won't go back to Avanchnzel. I won't. WERJ04KidSellTopic I could have left it behind. I could have put it back where it came from. WERJ04KidSellTopic As the sun ends the night, end the darkness of this soul, return life to the creature you see before you! WERJ04PayKid Thank you! You'll find the ruins right here. WERJ04Where I found them near the old Dwemer bridge in the far west. I'll mark it down for you on your map for a small fee. WERJ05AttackBark Yarr! WERJ05AttackBark Avast, dog! WERJ05AttackBark Die, ya cowardly lubber! WERJ05PowerAttackBark This is for Haldyn! WERJ05PowerAttackBark I guess you don't have potatoes in your ears after all. Just make sure we get a fresh batch in soon. WERJ05PowerAttackBark Yep. Ale's going bad. WERJ05PowerAttackBark Did you hear me? WERJ05PowerAttackBark The ale is going bad. We need to get a new batch. WERJ05PowerAttackBark Hard not to. WERJ05TauntBark Horkers' revenge! WERJ06A Ah, but you look tired. Come, share a bottle of Honningbrew Mead with me! WERJ06B You've never had a taste of sweet Honningbrew? Why, it's only the finest mead outside of Sovngarde! WERJ06C Its sweetness is like a fair maiden's kiss on a starry night. And it's got enough kick to put a frost troll on his hind quarters! Ha! WERJ06D But enough talk. Come! Won't you share a drink with me and my companions? WERJ06E Ha, nothing like fine spirits to help raise your... well, your spirits! WERJ06F Cheers, my friend! May your adventures find you fame and fortune! WERJ06G Black Briar? How dare you shove that swill in my face. I'd rather drink mammoth drool! WERJ06Goodbyes I don't talk to people who drink that Black Briar drench. WERJ06Goodbyes Ha! Too true, my friend. Too true... WERJ06Goodbyes The meads won't argue your ear off about which one should go first! WERJ06Goodbyes Why's that? WERJ06Goodbyes I'd rather have two bottles of mead then two wenches, friend. WERJ06Goodbyes Drink Honningbrew Mead with a wench on each arm? Ha ha! WERJ06Goodbyes Ah, is there any way you'd rather spend the day than drinking Honningbrew Mead? WERJ06H Black Briar Mead? What are you trying to do? Poison me? WERJ06HelloTopic Hail, friend! It's good to see another merry soul enjoying this fine day. WERJ06I Ysmir's beard! You're one after my own heart. I would love another bottle. WERJ06J This good deed should not go unrewarded. Here, take this! WERJ07MS14AttackYell Morvath will taste your blood! WERJ07MS14AttackYell Another victim fell for our ruse! WERJ07MS14AttackYell Please, someone help me! WERJ07MS14AttackYell Help me! A vampire! WERJ09Attack You will be my blood offering to Morvath! WERoad01Branch01Topic There are dragons about, traveler. Be warned. WERoad01Branch01Topic It happened so fast. One minute the dragon was there, the next it was gone. Everything was destroyed. WERoad01Hello We lost everything. WERoad01Shared01 It's true about the dragons returning. Saw it with my own eyes. WERoad01Shared02 Thank you for the gold, traveler. WERoad01Shared03 Thank you for your kindness. WERoad01Shared04 That's okay. We'll find a way to get by. Safe travels. WERoad01Shared04 Ready now! Everyone, with me! For the Empire! For the Legion! WERoad01Shared04 Rrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! WERoad01Shared04 But make no mistake. What we do here today, we do for Skyrim and her people. WERoad01Shared04 By cutting out the disease of this rebellion, we will make this country whole again! WERoad01Shared04 This is the day we send a message to Ulfric Stormcloak and the rebel Jarls who support him. WERoad01Shared04 This is an important day for the Empire and for the Legion. And for all of Skyrim. WERoad01Shared04 This is it men! WERoad01Topic01a Then you've seen them, too. We lost our home, our livestock... We barely have enough gold to get by. WERoad01Topic01b No. I was too afraid to look. I don't know what we're going to do now. We have nothing left. WERoad01Topic02 Thank you, traveler. Be safe and don't forget to keep an eye on the sky. WERoad01Topic02 You're too kind. Thank you. Be careful and stay safe. WERoad02Hello I have nothing to say to you. Now move along, or I'll order my guards to attack. WERoad02Hello Keep away. If I am harmed, people will come looking. WERoad06BranchTopic I probably shouldn't tell everyone who asks. This is important business, you know. WERoad06Bribe You want to pay me to do my job? Fine. I'll mark the location on your map. WERoad06Final Just make sure to take care of whatever's going on there. It's my name on the line. WERoad06Goodbye Thanks for wasting my time. WERoad06Hello There's been word of some trouble nearby. I'm on my way to investigate. WERoad06Hello Now I have some time to kill... WERoad06Intimidate All right, all right! No need to get violent. We're on the same side. WERoad06Intimidate I'll mark it on your map. This one's on you. WERoad06Intimidate Someone's going to get hurt, all right. WERoad06Persuade If you really want to do my job for me... Here, I'll mark the location on your map. WERoad06Persuade No, I think I've got this one. Thanks, though. WERoad07LeavingTopic That's right. WERoad08Hello Important deliveries to make! No time for chatting! WERoad08Hello Instead of projecting the sky, we project all of Tamriel, and then harness the latent energies to overlay the positions of... WERoad08Hello Have you ever seen the Orrery in the Imperial City? It was the inspiration for this idea. WERoad08Hello This projection should be lit up like the night sky... WERoad09Hello Greetings, brother. You look weary. I have something to help you relax, if you're interested. WERoad09Hello Greetings, sister. You look weary. I have something to help you relax, if you're interested. WERoad09Hello Nice doing business with you, friend. WERoad09Hello This one has something sweet for the fellow traveler, if it entices. WERoad09Intim No need to get so... hostile. Just take it. Sounds like you need it more than I do. WERoad09Intim Yeah... That's not going to happen. WERoad09No Each has their own way. WERoad09OfferTopic The finest skooma, the sweetest moon sugar. At a fair price, of course. WERoad09OfferTopic It's in the clouds! WERoad09OfferTopic As fearless in death as he was in life. WERoad09OfferTopic Halt! WERoad09OfferTopic It has been an honor, Jarl Ulfric! WERoad09OfferTopic Shut up back there! WERoad09Snitch Ah, a snitch, eh? Can't have you running to any guards now, can I? WERoad11Branch01Topic01a I'd stay away if I were you. WERoad11Branch02Topic01a I have everything under control. Thanks for offering. WERoad11Branch03Topic01a The cow, of course. Others do it differently, but I've found that an annual offering usually keeps the giants away from our livestock. WERoad11Branch03Topic01a Some think it's superstition, but I believe it works. I've yet to have a giant kill any of my livestock. WERoad11Branch04Topic01a Thanks. You take care of yourself, now. WERoad11Hello My wife's going to kill me when I tell her we'll need to bring another cow. WERoad11Hello Either way this ends up, I'm headed to the inn. WERoad11Shared01 I'm headed to the inn. WERoad11Shared02 It's tradition. We mark the animal as a way to let the giants know we're giving it to them willingly. Sort of a peace offering. WERoad11Topic02a I'm on my way to a giant camp and I can't guarantee those beasts won't think you're part of the offering. WERoad11Topic02a Keep your distance and you shouldn't have anything to worry about. WETalsgarTheWandererDialogueWhyAreYouHereTopic I'm looking for a place called Bard's Leap. They say the echo of a song sung from there can be heard all the way in Solitude. WETalsgarTheWandererDialogueWhyAreYouHereTopic Some may find their inspiration tucked away in tomes, or by carousing in the cities, but I find it here in the vast expanses of Skyrim. WETalsgarTheWandererDialogueWhyAreYouHereTopic The best tales are those of adventure. Who could truly write such a tale without first experiencing such? WETalsgarTheWandererDialogueWhyAreYouHereTopic Why to perform for my common man, of course! Why should only the courts and inns of wealthy towns be given the gift of music? WETalsgarTheWandererDialogueWhyAreYouHereTopic Observing and capturing the epic struggle for Skyrim! When brothers clash with bitter blades, surely there is a song to be found. WETalsgarTheWandererSpeechcraftBranchTopic Ah. Well. After a little incident with a roguish lad and the daughter of a prominent Thane... Well, let's just say, best not. WETalsgarTheWandererSpeechcraftBranchTopic Afraid not. But if you're serious about sharpening that tongue, you might try the Bard's College in Solitude. WEThalmorDialogueBelieveWhatever Incorrect. You can worship whatever gods you like. But Talos is a man, and only a heretic would think otherwise... WEThalmorDialogueConfessTopic Or perhaps there's something you'd like to confess? WEThalmorDialogueDieHeretic And so, you will die a heretic's death. WEThalmorDialogueDoingInSkyrim We're making sure your Emperor wasn't lying to his elven masters when he agreed the Empire would give up false gods and foolish beliefs. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Go. Your very presence sickens me. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Be warned. You have been marked by the Thalmor. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Now remove yourself from my presence, while you still draw breath. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Go now. Return to your pathetic pursuits. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Filthy Nord. In time, your entire race will be eradicated. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye The Justiciars know your face. And we elves have long memories... WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Back to the swamp with you, Argonian. Lest I carve you into boots. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Crawl back into whatever pit spawned you, Orc. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Slink away now, little Khajiit, with your tail between your legs. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Flee from my sight, Dunmer, or I'll have you shipped back to Vvardenfell in a crate. WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye Pathetic excuse for an elf... WEThalmorDialogueGoodbye You are a disgrace to the Altmer. I should kill you on general principle. WEThalmorDialogueIfSmartWalkAway If you're smart, you'll walk away. WEThalmorDialogueNowGoAway Now, go away. WEThalmorDialogueOutOfMyWay Now, get of my way. WEThalmorDialoguePerhapsConfess Perhaps there's something you wish to confess? WEThalmorDialogueRemainSilent I don't like you... I think you're a heretic. WEThalmorDialogueWalkAwayGoodForYou And now you'll walk away, if you know what's good for you. WEThalmorDialogueWhatHasHeDone He has knowledge of a cult of Talos. He will tell us what we need to know, or he will die. The choice is his. WEThalmorDialogueWhatRight By Imperial Law banning Talos, we have the right to do whatever we want. WEThalmorDialogueWhatWrongWithTalosTopic It's immoral to worship a man. And it's also illegal. A faithful Imperial citizen would know that. WEThalmorDialogueWhoAreThalmor We are special envoys of the Aldmeri Dominion, the rightful rulers of Tamriel. If you'd like I can show you why. WEThalmorDialogueWhoAreYouTopic I am a Thalmor Justiciar on important business that you are interfering with. WEThalmorDialogueWhoAreYouTopic That we are superior to men is an established fact. For example, take this belief in Talos. The "ninth" divine. Heh. WEThalmorDialogueWhoAreYouTopic Certainly you don't believe such things? WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic Taking this man to be interrogated. WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic That is none of your concern. WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic The path to Paarthurnax is perilous, not to be embarked upon lightly. WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic Clear Skies will blow away the mist, but only for a time. WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic The other... Well, that can only be Labyrinthian. WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic And yet, in the end, only two locations have been revealed to us. One is your College. WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic Purely to help safeguard the Empire, of course. WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic What's important is that all of this work was designed to reveal to us sources of great magical power. WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic Also, I doubt you'd be able to comprehend the details. WEThalmorDialogueWithPrisonerTopic I can't explain the details. That would be giving away many secrets the Synod have learned over the years. WEThalmorDoesntConcernYou This doesn't concern you, "citizen." WEThalmorInterfering You're interfering with official Thalmor business. WEThalmorMoveAlong Move along. WEThalmorWalkAwayNow Walk away. Now. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Aye, that I do. I've got to, if I hope to be as good as Eorlund Gray-Mane some day. In fact, I just finished my best piece of work. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic It's a sword. I made it for the Jarl, Balgruuf the Greater. It's a surprise, and I don't even know if he'll accept it. But... WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Listen, could you take the sword to my father, Proventus Avenicci? He's the Jarl's steward. He'll know the right time to present it to him. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Damn it. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic You'll have to do better than that. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Not bad... but it won't save you. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I'm too old for this. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Damn you. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I could use some help over here! WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Oho, so that's where you went. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Here we go again. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic You should have run away. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic There you are. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Over here! WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Now you're mine! WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Well, good. They're gone. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I think they're gone. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I don't see 'em any more. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Stay alert. They may not have gone far. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Hmm. Gone. I don't like it. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Where'd you go? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Anyone see anything? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I'm afraid I've lost them. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Must still be here, somewhere... WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Don't let your guard down. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Where'd you go? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic You think running will save you? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I've waited an eternity for this day. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic My debt is repaid at last. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I vowed to have your head. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic That takes care of that. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I can always use the practice. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic That's how it's done. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I was just getting warmed up. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Another one for the Blades. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic That's the end of that, hmm? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic That seems to be all of them. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic A shame it had to come to that. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Seems I still remember my old training. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I'm getting too old for this. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Must be my mind playing tricks on me. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Hmm, nothing there after all. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Nothing there. Strange. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I must be getting jumpy. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Hmm. I was sure I heard something. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Who's there? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Hmm? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Hold on, what was that? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Did you hear that? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I'm going to check that out. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Running won't save you. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Got to be here somewhere... WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic You should run while you have the chance. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Maybe they're gone? WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Better make sure. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic I'm sure I heard something... WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Nothing yet. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Could have been my imagination, I suppose... WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic Hmm. I don't see anything. WhiterunAdrianneSwordTopicTopic That's strange... WhiterunAndursAmuletBranchTopic My Amulet of Arkay. It's the source of my divine powers and also a sacred badge of office. WhiterunAndursAmuletBranchTopic I misplaced it in the catacombs. I'd look for it, but I've been hearing noises down there. I fear the dead have become... restless. WhiterunAndursAmuletBranchTopic Without that amulet, I'm powerless to confront them. Would you be willing to search for it? WhiterunAndursAmuletNoTopic So be it. I'm sure Arkay will find it in his heart to forgive you... eventually. WhiterunAndursAmuletYesTopic I'll just wait here and make sure nothing foul escapes the catacombs. WhiterunAndursArkayTopicTopic Well, as I said, Arkay is the god of life and death. You'll find his temples and Halls of the Dead all across Tamriel. WhiterunAndursArkayTopicTopic Priests of Arkay such as myself perform rites for the dead and sometimes console the bereaved. WhiterunAndursArkayTopicTopic We also keep a constant vigil against those who practice the vile arts of necromancy. WhiterunAndursArkayTopicTopic I asked the question because I was hoping you might be able to help me recover something I've lost. WhiterunAndursFaithBlockingTopicTopic Tell me, do you believe in mighty Arkay, god of life and death? WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic I see. Well, perhaps you'll take pity on a humble priest who has lost something precious. WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic I feel better already. WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic Gods bless you, healer. WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic Thank you. The pain is already easing. WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic The fever's down a bit, an' I can almost see straight. WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic I still can't hold nothin' down, but it's better than yesterday. WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic My joints ache, I can't eat nothin' and my head feels like a furnace. I've seen better days. WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic The pain's a little less than before, but it still hurts bad enough. WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic It's not as bad as before, but I still can't get a good night's sleep. WhiterunAndursFaithNoBranchTopic I ain't going to lie, it's still pretty bad. WhiterunAndursFaithYesBranchTopic I'm glad to know that, because I need your help. You see, I've lost something precious. WhiterunAndursHaveAmuletBranchTopic Can it be? You've brought me my amulet? Oh, thank Arkay. And thank you. Oh, dear friend, please, take this gold for your troubles. WhiterunAndursHaveAmuletBranchTopic No. I will have no peace until these hunters are dead. WhiterunArcadiaGemBranchTopic Ah, splendid, splendid. It's for a special brew I'm working on. A love elixir like none other. Maybe I'll test it on Farengar first... WhiterunArcadiaGemBranchTopic Oh, but I suppose you expect some compensation. Um... here, these potions should suffice. WhiterunArcadiaGemBranchTopic Ah, splendid, splendid. It's for a special brew I'm working on. A love elixir like none other. WhiterunArcadiaGemBranchTopic Oh, but I suppose you expect some compensation. Um... here, these potions should suffice. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic But even the bravest of men consider their actions. I want you to survive long enough to take the mantle. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Thank you, Harbinger. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic You're a strong warrior, Skjor. Your heart is fiery and that serves you well in battle. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic It's not confusing... just frustrating. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I don't mean to confuse you. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic You speak in riddles sometimes. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Come on now, boy, you know what I meant... WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Well which is it? Look farther or closer? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic If you want to lead this pack when I'm gone, you have to see farther. Look closer. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic To me as well. I think we don't see the same tradition at play here. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Tradition is very important to me, son. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Brave hearts beat lesser ones. That's the decider. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Big swords should always beat little swords. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic When I was young, I favored huge swords, much like you. Hard to lift these days, but I still enjoy the heft of a good hammer. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic What weapon do you like, Harbinger? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Just have them focus on the calm in the battle. Control the rage, don't let it control you. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I hope so. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I remember when you were the same way. The more they train, the more they'll cool down. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Some are too happy to fight. Blood runs hot. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic How are the young ones coming along? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Always. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic What glorious prey. Come back alive, and with stories to tell! WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Skjor's heard rumors of a bear the size of a mammoth in Hammerfell. We're going to seek it out. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic How goes the hunt? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic That's why it's best to not mistake foolhardiness for bravery. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap. Just... these hunters. We're all on edge. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic You forget yourself, young one. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Where I go is my business. If you have a concern about my honor, bring it before the Circle. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I worry that you've been spending too many nights out. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic You wanted to see me? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Yeah? Why? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Some of them, anyway. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Let's test that out some time. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Fighting people is different. Smarter. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I've been hunting on my own for years. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Aren't they slow? I can get in and out before you have one swing. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Relax, new blood. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Yes, you're very fond of saying that. You know I like hammers and axes. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic But before I fought, I had to train. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic What kind of weapon do you prefer? I like the smaller, quicker blades. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Easy for you to say. You get to fight. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Young warriors are smart to listen to older ones. They've lived. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic No fighting just yet. Not till Skjor says so. We train now. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Enough with the training. I want to go fight something. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic They're lording it over us all the time, though. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic You'll do all right some day. Today you need to keep training, though. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I don't think that's how the Circle works. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Well, when you put it that way... WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic One day when you and I are on the Circle, we can change how things are run around here. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic All I need is one to cut you in half. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic But ten little cuts... WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic If Eorlund made it, it's more likely you're gripping it wrong. Find me tomorrow and we can go over it. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Tiny blades don't hurt enough. A sword needs weight. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Can't you just tell me if the grip is bad? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic You might do well to learn a smaller weapon. Vary your style a bit. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I'm a warrior, not a blacksmith. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic And they always come to regret it. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic But whales eat razorfish. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I've got a bad grip on my shield, could you take a look at it? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic It's called a shortsword, oaf. It's quicker. Sharper. Like a razorfish against a whale. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic We all have different means to glory, Stonearm. Well done. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic You only use the little swords. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I'm telling you, it works. Let them ring their own ears on my shield, then scoop them up off the ground. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic It's not exactly forbidden, but even so... it's not true. So that's that. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Is it not allowed? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I'm imagining you just standing your ground and letting them tire themselves out. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic And if you want to keep having ears, you'll pretend you didn't. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Just those same ruffians I was bringing in for the Shatter-Shields. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I've heard some rumors... about you and Skjor. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Well, no. I'm just saying there's more to defense than muscle. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic But strength doesn't hurt. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic You have to remember, it's not about strength. It's about leverage. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic So much wasted breath in that crew. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic How do you manage to hold your ground like that? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Heard you had a bit of trouble near Solitude last week. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic They should be so lucky. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic By you? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic That they might get themselves killed. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic What then? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Some of them might try. But that's not what I'm worried about. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Worried one of them is going to take your place? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic All these younglings scampering around. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic You know the old man doesn't like it. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Let's just not be too obvious. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic There's nothing wrong with what we're doing. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I've been thinking we need to be more... discreet. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Are you prepared for tonight's hunt? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Of course not. My mistake. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I've never held a knitting needle. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic It will feel that way for a while. But eventually you'll get used to it, and then you'll get faster with it. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic After that, the shortsword will feel like a knitting needle when you pick it up again. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic It just feels so slow. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Exactly. When you have a big heavy weight swinging around your upper body, your lower body has to compensate or you'll fall right over. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I guess that comes down to footwork, then. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic If you keep it in close, you'll have more control, but it can be harder to balance a strike. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Should I be holding the blade further away than I would a smaller one? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Well you can either get better with a bow or try to learn from me. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic It's just... I think our fighting styles are similar. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Because you wanted to learn the longer blades. Aela's never used anything bigger than a dagger. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Why can't I train with Aela? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I guide the Companions. The Circle advises me. But we are all free warriors. Only our honor binds us together. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic But aren't the Circle in charge? And don't you lead them? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic This isn't the military, son. There are no ranks. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic I just want to make sure I'm moving up. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Don't worry about such things. Just focus on your own honor. Bring glory to the Companions, and that glory will return upon you. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Do you think I could be a member of the Circle? Some day? If I work hard? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Skjor has been a warrior for a long time. You would be wise to listen to him. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Any warrior that gets to be old is either fearsome or a coward. I'll let you find out which Skjor is. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Well why do I have to listen to Skjor, then? WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic No one is in charge here. Each Shield-Brother is his own man, each Shield-Sister her own woman. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Forgive me. You're just the one in charge, and it's what I'm used to. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic My title is Harbinger, child. I am no man's master. WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Master, I... WhiterunBraithBullyBranchTopic Don't worry about me. WhiterunBraithBullySharedInfo Okay, okay! I'll leave him alone! I was just kidding around. Besides, if he'd only kiss me, I wouldn't have to beat him up all the time... WhiterunBrenuinAleNoTopic Then we got nothin' more to talk about. WhiterunBrenuinAleTopicTopic Only if I can help it. WhiterunBrenuinAleTopicTopic But damn if I ain't almost sober. WhiterunBrenuinAleTopicTopic Hey. In the Bannered Mare, there's this bottle of Argonian Ale. The good stuff. Get it for me. They won't even know it's gone. Come on... WhiterunBrenuinAleTopicTopic Well that all depends on you, now. Doesn't it? WhiterunBrenuinAleTopicTopic Not anymore. Thanks to you. Friend. WhiterunBrenuinAleYesTopic Argonian Ale! I can almost taste it! WhiterunCompletedFavorsTopic Oh, thank Arkay. Please, take this gold for your troubles. WhiterunCompletedFavorsTopic Well, would you look at that! Argonian Ale! My thanks, friend. Here, take this here healing potion. I, er, "found" it in the temple. WhiterunCompletedFavorsTopic A bit of jewelry for your journey home? WhiterunFarengarGemBranchTopic I believe I am, yes. Technically speaking, of course. The city is also home to a priest, priestess, an alchemist, and I'm sure others who practice. WhiterunFarengarGemBranchTopic Ah, that reminds me. Speaking of alchemists, I have some frost salts for Arcadia. She asked me to obtain them for one of her potions. WhiterunFarengarGemBranchTopic Would you be so kind as to deliver the frost salts for me? I'm sure Arcadia will provide some form of recompense... WhiterunFarengarGemNoTopic Well, let's see... travel-stained clothes, worn soles, blank and unintelligent expression... Yes, in fact you do. WhiterunFarengarGemYesTopic Good. You're clearly better suited than I am to carry out such a menial task. WhiterunInnkeeperRumorsBranchTopic The Companions? In Jorrvaskr? They're recruiting new members, from what I hear. WhiterunLarsBullyNo Oh, okay. I didn't think you'd help me. Nobody ever does. WhiterunLarsBullyTopicTopic Yes. Braith bullies me all the time. All the elders think I'm a milk drinker 'cause I can't fight. Nobody understands. WhiterunLarsBullyTopicTopic If you can get Braith to leave me alone, I'll be your best friend... forever! I'll pay you, too! My whole life's savings - two septims! WhiterunLarsBullyYes Oh, good. She'll listen to you, I just know it. WhiterunLarsTopicFunTopic Well, I used to sneak out at night and try to tip over the big ox in the Gray-Manes' yard. WhiterunLarsTopicFunTopic And me and Mila used to climb up on the roof of Dragonsreach and look for birds' eggs. WhiterunLarsTopicFunTopic But I don't do that stuff anymore. Father keeps catching me and then I get in trouble. WhiterunOlavaPaidReadingBranch2Topic Sorry, love, but I'm not a charity. WhiterunOlavaPaidReadingBranchTopic Oh, very well. But my energies are low. I warn you - I won't be able to see much. Give me... five gold, and I'll do what I can. WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic1 Hmph. Yes. Yes, I surely can. It's not something I do lightly, mind you, and it's not as specific as you might want. But yes. I will do this for you. WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic1 Please, relax. Free your mind. Yes, that's it... WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic2 There's a cave. No, not a cave. A... home? A place you feel secure. You will find safety there... sanctuary. I see snow, lit by the star of dawn. WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic2 And you are not alone. There are others. A child of night... a stalker of the sands? Oh, but before you are family, there will be blood. Such blood. WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic2 Wait! There's something else... A potential for adventure, and wealth. It is a ruin, ripe for the plunder. Deepwood Redoubt. Far to the northwest... WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic2 Through there is... Hag's End. The last resting place of an assassin of old. A Dark Brother, who bequeaths his ancient earthly possessions... to you. WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic2 Your destiny is dark. Oh yes, so dark. But much of it has been fulfilled. You have found sanctuary, and the comforting words of a mother's love. WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic2 And you have companionship. A child of night, and a stalker of the sands. Together, you are a family. WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic2 Wait! There's something else... A potential for adventure, and wealth. It is a ruin, ripe for the plunder. Deepwood Redoubt. Far to the northwest... WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic2 It is the last resting place of an assassin of old. A Dark Brother, who bequeaths his ancient earthly possessions... to you. WhiterunOlavaReadingTopic3 No... no, that is all. Now... now please. I find myself very weary all of sudden. WhiterunOlavaTokenBranchTopic Token, you say? Let me see. WhiterunOlavaTokenBranchTopic Oh, goodness me. You're a friend of Gabriella's, then. Well, I guess we both know why you're here. WhiterunOlavaTokenBranchTopic Why, this is utterly unique. WhiterunOlavaTokenBranchTopic I'm not the only one seeing this, am I? WhiterunOlavaTokenBranchTopic Not much further. Come, little thing. Serve me in death. WhiterunProventusSwordBranchTopic From Adrianne? WhiterunProventusSwordBranchTopic Ah, this must be that weapon for the Jarl. Poor girl, so eager to prove herself. I'll present it to Balgruuf when his mood is... agreeable. WhiterunProventusSwordBranchTopic Thank you. Please, take these few coins, for services rendered. WhiterunTempleHealer1 How are you feeling? WhiterunTempleHealer2 How do you feel? WhiterunTempleHealer3 Feeling any better? WhiterunTempleHealerEnd1 More rest will do you good. WhiterunTempleHealerEnd2 Patience. The body needs time to mend. WhiterunTempleHealerEnd3 Try to relax. You'll be well soon enough. WhiterunTempleHealerFarmer Has your fever cooled? WhiterunTempleHealerSoldier How is the pain? Any better? WIAddItem07CalcelmoTopic You are? Very good.... may I see it? WIAddItem07HaggleSold Wonderful. You've just made an important contribution to the advancement of a Dwemer scholarship. WIAddItem07Intimidate Hold on, there. I suppose, in the uh, interest of research... I can spare a few more coins. Double and a half its value. That's all I can muster. WIAddItem07Intimidate Ha! I'll see to it the Jarl hears of your abuse of a court scholar. Shame on you. WIAddItem07No Oh... what a terrible shame. Well, if you think you know where you left it and can retrieve it, I'll be here. WIAddItem07NoDeal Oh... well... I can see you have no appreciation for scholarship. WIAddItem07Persuade Well... I suppose important research is worth every coin. All right. You have yourself a deal. How's double and a half its value in trade? WIAddItem07Persuade With this the world could have a better understanding of the Dwemer! WIAddItem07Persuade Come now, where's your sense of propriety? Extorting an old man like this. WIAddItem07Result Excellent. Very good. This is exactly what I need to complete a series of studies I'm doing on Dwemer craftsmanship and magical resonance. WIAddItem07Result I simply must have this! I'll pay you double what it's worth. WIAddItem07Success I'm glad we could come to an agreement. WIAddItemSayToPlayer What'd you pick up there? Oh, I wish I saw that first. You're so lucky! WIAddItemSayToPlayer Hey, someone had to take it, right? WIAddItemSayToPlayer Lucky for you that was just sitting there for the taking. WIAddItemSayToPlayer Oh, wow! That was just sitting there? I wish I found it first. WIAddItemSayToPlayer Hope nobody misses that... WIAddItemSayToPlayer You just find that lying around? Must be your lucky day. WIAddItemSayToPlayer That was just lying around? Good find. WIAddItemSayToPlayer Hush, child. Don't pester your cousin. WIAddItemSayToPlayer Hadvar, did you really see a dragon? What did it look like? Did it have big teeth? WIAddItemSayToPlayer Of course! Any friend of Hadvar's is a friend of mine. I'm glad to help however I can. WIAddItemSayToPlayer Not much more to tell. This dragon flew over and just wrecked the whole place. Mass confusion. WIAddItemSayToPlayer I don't know if anyone else got out alive. I doubt I'd have made it out myself if not for my friend here. WIAddItemSayToPlayer I need to get back to Solitude and let them know what's happened. WIAddItemSayToPlayer I thought you could help us out. Food, supplies, a place to stay. WIAddItemSayToPlayer Mara's mercy! A dragon... in Helgen? Why, it could be here at any moment! WIAddItemSayToPlayer Husband. Let him tell his story. WIAddItemSayToPlayer When your friend told me, I didn't believe it at first either. WIAddItemSayToPlayer A dragon? That's... ridiculous. You aren't drunk, are you boy? WIAddItemSayToPlayer I don't know where to start. You know I was assigned to General Tullius's guard. WIAddItemSayToPlayer We were stopped in Helgen when we were attacked... by a dragon. WIAddItemSayToPlayer Now, then, boy. Helgen was destroyed? How did you get away? WIAddItemSayToPlayer Now, then, boy. What's the big mystery? What are you doing here, looking like you lost an argument with a cave bear? WIAddItemSayToPlayer Sigrid! We have company! WIAddItemSayToPlayer Hadvar! We've been so worried about you! Come, you two must be hungry. Sit down and I'll get you something to eat. WIAssault01Hello Hrrrmm. WIAssault01MainTopic You assaulted one of my family members. I've come to accept your apology. WIAssault01MainTopic You! Fetcher! I should kill you for assaulting my family. But I will accept your apology... WIAssault01MainTopic You know who I am? You attacked one of my clan. I've come to accept your apology... or your death. WIAssault01MainTopic You! You hurt my family. I don't like when my family gets hurt. Say you're sorry. Or say goodbye. WIAssault01MainTopic You attacked one of my family. What do you have to say for yourself? WIAssault01MainTopic You can't attack my family and get away with it, fetcher! I will have an apology, or your head on a spike. Choose. WIAssault01MainTopic Dishonorable dog. You attacked one of my kin. So now you're going to apologize... or I'm going to lop off your head. WIAssault01MainTopic Here's the situation. You attacked my family. So now you're going to apologize.. or I'm going to kill you. I hope we understand each other... WIAssault01NotSorry Come again? WIAssault01NotSorry I am prepared to deal with your insolence... WIAssault01NotSorry Fine. Then it will be an honor to kill you for your offenses against my kin. WIAssault01NotSorry Are you out of your mind? WIAssault01NotSorry If you value your well being, you will offer an apology... WIAssault01NotSorry You should be. WIAssault01NotSorry You may care nothing of honor, but I do. I'm not leaving without an apology. WIAssault01NotSorry You sure you want it to come to this? WIAssault01NotSorry In your death may you find the honor you lacked in life. WIAssault01NotSorry What? You stupid or something? WIAssault01NotSorry Say you're sorry. Say it now. WIAssault01NotSorry That's it! WIAssault01NotSorry Really? WIAssault01NotSorry You're making a fatal mistake. Apologize, and you may yet live... WIAssault01NotSorry So be it. WIAssault01NotSorry I will not tolerate this offense against my kin. WIAssault01NotSorry Are you mad? Apologize, or I will gut you like a horker. WIAssault01NotSorry Then you are fool, and will die for it. WIAssault01NotSorry Honor may mean nothing to you, but it means much to me. Your apology, or your life. WIAssault01NotSorry Only your death or an apology will restore my family's honor. Last chance. WIAssault01NotSorry Then I guess we're done talking. WIAssault01NotSorry Perhaps I haven't made myself clear. Your best and least painful course of action is to apologize and promise to leave my family in peace. WIAssault01NotSorry No? You sure? 'Cause we're reaching the point of no return here... WIAssault01NotSorry Annnddd... Point of no return reached. WIAssault01Sorry I trust this is the last I'll hear of your violent outbursts. WIAssault01Sorry Stay away from my family if you value your life. WIAssault01Sorry Good. But know that further dishonor to my family will mean your death. WIAssault01Sorry You stay away from my family. Or you die. Be smart. Stay away. WIAssault01Sorry This had better be the last I hear of you disrespecting my family. WIAssault01Sorry Mark these words carefully, fetcher. Stay away from my family, or I will paint the ground with your blood. WIAssault01Sorry Any further dishonor done to my kin, and I'll put you in the ground. WIAssault01Sorry That wasn't so hard, now was it. WIAssault02Hello You have a job to do. WIAssault02Hello You want to get paid? Do what I hired you for. WIAssault02MainTopic I heard you attacked someone in town recently. WIAssault02MainTopic Thought you might be open to doing it again... for a tidy sum. WIAssault02MainTopic Heard you hit somebody in town not too long ago. WIAssault02MainTopic I'll pay to do the same, to a certain special someone. WIAssault02MainTopic So you like to hurt people, huh? The town is still talking about what you did. WIAssault02MainTopic You know, I'll pay you to attack one of my enemies... WIAssault02MainTopic Yeah. You beat people up. WIAssault02MainTopic Got someone I want you to hurt. Don't worry, I can pay. WIAssault02MainTopic Uh... yeah. I know you don't mind hurting people. Just look what you did to... well, you know. WIAssault02MainTopic I need someone to do that to someone. I'll even pay. WIAssault02MainTopic I heard you hurt someone in town not too long ago. WIAssault02MainTopic I'll pay you to hurt someone else. Okay? WIAssault02MainTopic I heard about what you did. You hurt someone. Bad. WIAssault02MainTopic I got someone who deserves a beating, but I need someone else to do it for me. I can pay. WIAssault02MainTopic Yeah. Uh, I know you hurt someone in town recently. WIAssault02MainTopic I'd like to pay you to hurt somebody else. For me. WIAssault02MainTopic Idiot! That wasn't the deal. You were just supposed to teach them a lesson. I am not paying you... WIAssault02MainTopic They're dead? But now everyone will think I did it! WIAssault02MainTopic What have you done? You weren't supposed to murder anyone! Gods... WIAssault02MainTopic Good. Wait. Dead? That's not what I asked for. I... uh... you should leave. I need a drink... WIAssault02MainTopic Dead? No, no, no, no, no! This is terrible. I don't know you. Get away from me! WIAssault02MainTopic Shor's bones! What did you do that for? I would have hired the Dark Brotherhood if I'd wanted that! Get away from me. WIAssault02MainTopic Really? What did you go and do that for? You... you need to go away. WIAssault02MainTopic No! Tell me you're joking. Sweet Mara, what have I done? Go away. Just go away. WIAssault02MainTopic Oh gods, what did you do that for? This is horrible. I'm not paying for murder. Get away from me. WIAssault02MainTopic What have you done? They'll think I did it. Wait, I did do it! I'm not paying you! This is all your fault! WIAssault02MainTopic Ha! There's nothing like a few cuts and bruises to drive home a point, huh? WIAssault02MainTopic Good. Maybe things will be different around here from now on. WIAssault02MainTopic Good. Let's hope it's a lesson learned. WIAssault02MainTopic You what? Oh. That. Good. I hope there was a lot of blood. WIAssault02MainTopic It can't be traced back to me, can it? Was there lot's of crying? I hope so. WIAssault02MainTopic Really? I hope it hurt. WIAssault02MainTopic Hmph. Good. That'll teach 'em. WIAssault02MainTopic Really? Good. Was there a lot of screaming? Never mind. I don't want to know. WIAssault02MainTopic Were there tears? I hope everyone can see the bruises. WIAssault02MainTopic Good. I hope it hurt a lot, after all the pain I've been put through. WIAssault02No That's too bad. WIAssault02Yes No funerals, just some pain. If you get caught, it's not my problem. WIAssault02Yes No killing. I'm not hiring the Dark Brotherhood, here. If you get caught, it's not my problem. WIAssault02Yes Just cause some pain. I don't want a death on my conscience. If you get caught, it's not my problem. WIAssault02Yes Hurt him. I mean her. Whichever. No killing though. And I ain't paying your fine if you get caught. WIAssault02Yes I hope I can hear the screams. But don't let on it's from me! And I'm not paying your fine if you get caught. WIAssault02Yes Make it quick, but make it hurt. If you get caught by the guards, I don't know you. WIAssault02Yes Good. No killing, though. Don't get arrested. I won't help you. WIAssault02Yes Make it hurt. But not too much. No killing. And don't let the guards catch you. WIAssault02Yes It should hurt. A lot. But I'm not paying for murder. Oh, if you're caught, it's not my problem. WIAssault02Yes Good. Now remember - pain, and lots of it. But not to the death. If they arrest you, it's not my problem. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Stay away! Last time you hurt me. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello I don't want to fight you again. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Hey! You're the one that hurt me! WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello You gonna hurt me again? WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello You! Don't hurt me! Not again! WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello I don't want any trouble. Not after what you did to me last time. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello You! Back to inflict more pain on me? WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello I hope you're not planning to attack me again... WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello If you provoke me, I will be forced to unsheathe my claws. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello I don't want to be hurt again! WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello You wouldn't attack an old woman again, would you? WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello You here to attack me? I'm ready for you this time. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello You have a lot of nerve coming near me again. I'm still sore from what you did to me. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Please! Don't hurt me again! WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello No! Don't hurt me again! WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello This one's claws are ready for you should you assault me again. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello If you try to hurt me again, I may have to kill you. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Attack me again and I'll hunt you down! WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Ah! No more! Don't hurt me again. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Come back to gloat? I've been beaten by worse than you. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Don't come near me! I don't want to get hurt again. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello I hope you're not planning to attack me again... WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Uh, oh. You ain't gonna hurt me again, are ya? WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello You're the brute that hurt me before. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Hey! Don't get mad and hurt me again. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Look, I don't want to get in another brawl with you. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello You wouldn't attack an old man again, would you? WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello I don't go down easy if you raise your hand against me again. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Well, if it isn't the bully that goes around hurting people. WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello Ah! Are you planning on hurting me again? WIAssaultRememberDialogueHello If it's a fight you want, I'm ready this time. WICastMagic01BugPlayerTopic Hey... So are you ever going to make me invisible or what? WICastMagic01BugPlayerTopic Come on. Hurry it up already. The waiting is killing me. WICastMagic01BugPlayerTopic I can't wait to be invisible. WICastMagic01MainTopic Ooh, you're a wizard! I mean, you cast that spell just now, yeah? I was hoping you could make me invisible or something. Can you? Make me invisible? WICastMagic01No Awww. And here I thought you could do it... WICastMagic01No Well, I'll just have to think of something else then. Bye. WICastMagic01Trick Really? I mean... I still feel like I'm here. WICastMagic01TrickNo You're dumb. WICastMagic01TrickYes Okay, great! WICastMagic01TrickYes Now I'm finally going to have some fun around here. WICastMagic01TrickYes Bye! WICastMagic01TrickYes Okay, great! WICastMagic01TrickYes Now I'm finally going to have some fun around here. WICastMagic01TrickYes Bye! WICastMagic01Yes All right! I knew you'd do it. This is going to be so fun. You can't even imagine! WICastMagic01YouAreInvisible Really? I dunno... I don't feel invisible. WICastMagic01YouAreInvisible Boo! Ahahahaha! WICastMagic01YouAreInvisible Oooooh... weeeeoooooo.... WICastMagic01YouAreInvisible That's right. Who's invisible? Me! WICastMagic01YouAreInvisible Surprise! Ahaha! WICastMagic03BranchTopic I need to ask you to stop. That... shouting... is making people nervous. WICastMagic03BranchTopic Auxiliary, see if you can find another way through. We'll charge in to help as soon as we hear fighting. WICastMagic03BranchTopic Let's not jump to conclusions, soldier. The Legion always finds a way. WICastMagic03BranchTopic But there isn't any other way through, Legate. WICastMagic03BranchTopic There may be some way to get through on the level above. Hurry! WICastMagic03BranchTopic Maybe you can find a way through somewhere above us. WICastMagic03BranchTopic You have your orders. Get moving. WICastMagic03BranchTopic I'd rather take a moment and look around than walk blindly into an ambush. WICastMagic03BranchTopic I don't like the look of this. Perfect spot for an ambush. Ten to one they're just waiting for us on the other side. WICastMagic03NotSorry Can't say I've heard of any laws against... whatever that is you're doing. But I'll lock you up if I have to. WICastMagic03Sorry Good. Glad we straightened that out. WICastMagic03Whatever I've got my eye on you. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic Suddenly I don't feel like fighting. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic Why am I fighting? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic I really don't want to fight. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic I see no reason to keep fighting. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic This fight makes no sense. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic I'm not interested in fighting anymore. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic I see no reason to fight. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic There's no reason to fight. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic I'm staying out of this. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic This fight is pointless. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic Work, damn you! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic I don't understand. This should produce some notable effect. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic Perhaps a little harder? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic Hmm. That... That didn't really do anything, did it? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic Right, then... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic But please, don't leave. You've been instrumental in this process. I'd like you to see the results first-hand. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic Well, I suppose it's time, isn't it? Let's see what happens. You, uhh... You may want to stand back a step or two. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic I certainly don't expect it to have quite the same results. I'm no tonal architect, of course! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic I also lack Sunder, the counterpart to the dagger Keening. I am reasonably, confident, however, that this will still work. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic Lacking the heart of a dead god, I am substituting the crystal you helped craft in its place. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic This little experiment is a first step in recreating the events of their disappearance in an effort to unravel that mystery. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic Everyone knows the dwarves disappeared. No one knows why. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCalmTopic I apologize if I have not been clear about my work. I didn't want to discuss it for fear this moment might never come. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I feel like I can beat anything. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I'm just itching for a fight. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I ain't scared of nothin'. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic No one can defeat me. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I've never felt this brave. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic Suddenly I feel like I can take on the world. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic Bah! Is there no one who can offer a challenge? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I've never been more ready! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic My claws are sharp. My will to kill... unquenchable. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I cannot be beaten! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I may be old, but I can show 'em a trick or two. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I'm ready. Let's go! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic Hmph. Everyone seems so insignificant now. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I'm ready. More than ready. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic Come on! Let's go. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I feel... unbeatable. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic By the gods, I feel like I could crush a giant's head like a walnut. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic Ha ha! Look out. Here I come! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic There is none who can stand in my way. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic Come on, I can take anyone. And that ain't just the mead talkin'. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I feel like I can beat anyone. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic Even my claws feel sharper. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic By Ysmir, I feel... invincible! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic Been too long since I've embraced my rage... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic Just point me to the fight. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I fight and I'll win. Simple as that. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellCourageTopic I feel like I can take on all of Skyrim. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic My thanks. I feel... better. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic I suppose you think you're better than me because you can do that? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic I hope you're not expecting a thank you. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic A healing spell? Was that really necessary? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Huh. I feel better now. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic My old bones don't hurt so much now. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Healing magic? An Orc lets her wounds heal naturally... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Huh? What...oh! That felt nice. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic What...hey! That felt good. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic No need to do that now. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Suddenly I feel much better. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic You heal away my scars and there's gonna be a problem... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic That put a spring in my step. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Hey! You trying to pull a fast one on me? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Save it for the battlefield. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic I wasn't hurt, but that did make me feel better. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic A healing spell? Are you a priest? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Don't go casting spells on a woman without asking her permission. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Thanks! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Hmm. Feel a bit better now. Thanks. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Was that some sort of... healing spell? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Thanks! Not sure it was necessary, though. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Healing spells always leave me light-headed... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Ah! What did you do? Stop that! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Mmm. That felt nice. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Ah! That felt refreshing. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Wow! What was that? Do it again! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Hey! My hangover is gone! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellHealingTopic Ah! I feel like I just woke from a nap. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic I...I'm fading away! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Now what am I supposed to do? I can't be seen in public like this. If I can even be seen at all... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic You turned me invisible! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Not bad. Now turn me back. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic I'm...I'm invisible! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic What did ya do that for? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Bah! Save your magic. A warrior should face her foe, not hide from him. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Ooohh... The things I could do now... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Hey! Where did I go? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Magic! I'm not sure I approve. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic You're a tricky one. Now fix it. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Hey! I can't see myself! What did you do to me? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Wizard tricks! An Orc faces the enemy. He doesn't hide from him. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Stop that! How can I do my job if I'm invisible? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Clever. To think, now I could... Well, never mind. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Ahhh... no one will know I'm here now. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic What did you do to me? What am I made of? Air? Shadow? Oh, this is not good... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic What the...I'm invisible! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Goodness! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic What did you do! I'm...I'm see through! This better not be permanent. You can't just go around making women invisible like this! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Oh! I didn't expect that! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic What have you done to me? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Hey! Where did I go? I can't see myself! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Hey! This could be handy! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Ah! I am now like the Shadowscales of old. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Hmm. I could be a great hunter like this. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Wow! I'm see through! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic Hey! What did you do to me? My body is gone! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellStealthTopic What? Do I have mead on my chin? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Hey! What the... keep your damn magic to yourself. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic What the... Don't do that! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Keep your damn spells to yourself. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic That was pathetic. It didn't even do anything. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Ah! Damn wizard. Keep your spells off of me. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Stop that! Keep your spells to yourself. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Don't try to magic me, you damn wizard. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Hey! What are you trying to pull? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Huh? Don't do that! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Don't know what that was, but don't try it again. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Hey! Stop that. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Magic is for the weak. Pick up some steel if you want to fight me. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Wizards. There oughta be a law against them. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Whoa, whoa, whoa? What did you do? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Ah! Keep your spells away from me. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Ah! Don't do that. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Ah! I'm just an old woman. Don't hurt me. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic You stop that! I will not be violated by some... half-Septim magician! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Oh! What did you just do? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Hey! I didn't ask you to magic me. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Hey! Don't do that. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Ah! Picking on an old man? What did I ever do to you? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Oh! I don't feel any different. What did you do? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Stop it! I don't like magic. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Wow! That was fun. Do it again! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Ah Please! Don't hurt me! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic You there! That was uninvited. No more. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic What was that? Don't do it again. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Huh... what was that? What'd you do? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic I did not ask for that! No more magic. WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Hey, Longhammer, set us up with a round of... what in Oblivion happened in here? WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Come on... there! I got it, let's go! WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Shut up or they'll kill us, you idiot! Once they're gone I'll pick the lock... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic Take the money, just let us go... WICastMagicNonHostileSpellWeirdTopic No! You'll never take me alive! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic You call yourself a wizard? I challenge you to a duel! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic But now he's dead... and I have a new loincloth. WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic I am not adorable, it was not funny, and he wasn't a merchant. He was a Khajiit monk, a master of the Whispering Fang style. WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Oh, a big doggy chasing a little kitty! How adorable! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic And what of your latest, Arnbjorn. Something about a Khajiit? Merchant was it? WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Tried a new spell. Little something I've been working on in my spare time. Came "this" close to turning that priest inside out. Damned messy. WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Ah, the young and stupid. Always mocking the experienced and brilliant. My contract went very well, I'll have you know. WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Oh, yes, please, old man. Regale us with your tales of wizardry... WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic What about you, Festus? How did that last contract turn out? WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Oh Babette, but you are so wicked. WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Oh ya, very good. Very good. My it is dark down here. Oh, but you are so beautiful. Such a lovely smile. Your teeth... your teeth! No! Aggghh!! WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Oh yes, please, kind sir. My mama and papa left me all alone, and I'm so very hungry. I know a shortcut to the candy shop. Through this alley. WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Okay, okay. Wait. Here we go. "Ooh, you are such a pretty little girl. Would the sweetie like a sweetie? Oh yes, how about some chocolate?" WIChangeLocation03ForcegreetTopic Ha ha ha ha! Again! Again! Do the part where he tries to buy you some candy. WIChangeLocation03No I won't take no for answer! WIChangeLocation03Shared1 Stop it! This is a one-on-one duel! WIChangeLocation03Shared2 I thought you were a wizard. Hit me with a spell! WIChangeLocation03Shared3 You're cheating! WIChangeLocation03Shared4 It's no fun unless you fight me with magic. WIChangeLocation03Shared5 This is a magic duel. Ma-gic. You know, with spells. WIChangeLocation03Yes The gods will be the judge of that. WIChangeLocation04ForceGreetTopic I've finally found you! I want to join the College of Winterhold. But I need help with my wards. Can you teach me? WIChangeLocation04No Oh. All right... I guess I'll just keep practicing on my own. Sorry to bother you. WIChangeLocation04Yes Really? Great! Okay. So, first, you raise your ward and I'll throw a little spell at it. That way I can see the "right" way to do things. WIChangeLocation08ForceGreetTopic Hey. You wanna play a game? WIChangeLocation08HideAndSeek I know all the good spots! You don't stand a chance! WIChangeLocation08HideAndSeek You stand right there and count to 10. No peaking. Ready? Okay go! WIChangeLocation08No Figures. You elders are always so boring. WIChangeLocation08Tag Okay. You're it! WIChangeLocation08Yes Really? All right! You pick. Tag or hide-and-seek?

WICommentSneakingHello I hope you're not planning on picking my pocket. WICommentSneakingHello What? Why are you skulking about like that? WICommentSneakingHello Look at you, up to no good. WICommentSneakingHello You remind me of the Shadowscales, from the old histories. WICommentSneakingHello Are you playing hide and seek?

WICourierDBWhoTopic Don't know. Creepy fella, black robe. Couldn't see his face. Paid me a pretty sum to get that into your hands, though. WICourierDeliveries Let's see here... WICourierDeliveries Yeah, got this note. WICourierDeliveries I have a letter here from Quintus Navale in Windhelm. He said it was urgent. WICourierDeliveries I've got a letter and a lot of gold. Something about it being your inheritance? Oh, and... sorry for your loss. WICourierDeliveries A letter... not sure who from. He wouldn't say. Just that he was a friend of yours. WICourierDeliveries I have a letter here for you. WICourierDeliveries A note from someone named Calcelmo, in Markarth. WICourierDeliveries It's from... Falk Firebeard at the Blue Palace? You've got friends in high places. WICourierDeliveries There's a new museum opening up in Dawnstar. The owner is asking me to hand out invitations to travelers. WICourierDeliveries Looks like that's it. Got to go. WICourierTopic I've been looking for you. Got something I'm supposed to deliver - your hands only. WICourierTopic Nope, sorry. Nothing. WIDeadBody01ArrestGoToJail You're smarter than you look. WIDeadBody01ArrestResist Resisting arrest will mean your death. WiDeadBodyMainTopic You there. What do you know about this? WiDeadBodyMainTopic If anyone saw anything, step forward. Otherwise, step away from the body! WiDeadBodyMainTopic But... WiDeadBodyMainTopic Alright now. Everyone back away. Let the law handle this. WiDeadBodyMainTopic Looks dead to me. WiDeadBodyMainTopic Is he... dead? WiDeadBodyMainTopic Is she... dead? WiDeadBodyMainTopic Oh no... what happened here? WIDeadBodyResponseA Hmm... If you happen to recollect anything about the incident, you be sure to report to the captain of the guard. WIDeadBodyResponseA I've got my eye on you. WIDeadBodyResponseA Then perhaps you care to explain why you are standing so close a dead body with your weapon drawn? WIDeadBodyResponseA Hmmm... You can go, but you stay on your best behavior now. WIDeadBodyResponseA I've got my eye on you. WIDeadBodyResponseB Is that so? Well, perhaps a night in jail might loosen your tongue. Hmmm? WIDeadBodyResponseB Alright, you are now under arrest. WIDragonKilled1 It's really dead, then? WIDragonKilled2 I never would have believed it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes... WIDragonKilled3 It may be dead now, but... where did it come from? WIDragonKilled4 In all my years, I've never seen such a thing... WIDragonKilledPlayerAbsorbingPower1 Something's happening... WIDragonKilledPlayerAbsorbingPower2 What manner of magic is this? WIDragonKilledPlayerAbsorbingPower4 Look out! Don't get too close! WIDragonKilledPlayerDoneAbsorbingPower1 It's like the ancient legends. Dragonborn... WIDragonKilledPlayerDoneAbsorbingPower2 It can't be... You... You took its very soul... WIDragonKilledPlayerDoneAbsorbingPower3 By the gods... I don't even know what to say...

WIGamesHideAndSeekSAYFoundYouTopic There you are! WIGamesHideAndSeekSAYFoundYouTopic Found you! WIGamesTagFlee You can't catch me! WIGamesTagFlee Hahaha! WIGamesTagFlee
WIGamesTagFlee The mine will be the talk of Skyrim soon, you'll see. It'll be the stuff of legends. WIGamesTagFlee It's a matter of time before the Jarl is coming to me asking for money. This mine is going to make me... I mean us, rich. WIGamesTagFlee I know they laughed when I said I wanted to keep the mine open. I'll show them. I'll show them all. WIGamesTagFlee You're welcome to look around, of course, but understand that this place belongs to me. WIGamesTagFlee Thorgar says we'll find rocks soon, the kind worth gold. WIGamesTagFlee I'm the best at breaking up rocks. Thorgar says so. WIGamesTagFlee It's cold in the mine, but Thorgar really needs me, so I stay. WIGamesTagFlee Be careful where you step in the mine. Don't want to cover up some valuable ore, or gems, or... Or something... WIGamesTagFlee Any time I get tired of working, I just think that maybe that next swing will make me rich. It keeps me going. WIGamesTagFlee It's going to happen soon, I just know it. We'll strike something better than iron. Silver, or maybe even gold. You'll see. WIGamesTagFlee We were supposed to be rich by now, you know. Thorgar insisted we'd be swimming in gold. WIGamesTagFlee I'm starting to think we might not even find iron in here. We've been at it for so long. WIGamesTagFlee Is it still worth it? When do you decide enough is enough, and just walk away? WIGamesTagFlee Typical Imperial lies. First you take away Talos, now you're keeping us from seeing our honored dead? WIGamesTagFlee You and the Jarl will answer for any desecration of my ancestors' bodies. WIGamesTagFlee I'm not hiding anything. It's closed for a reason. WIGamesTagFlee What are you hiding, priest? WIGamesTagFlee Yes, well. Perhaps you're right. WIGamesTagFlee They got used to Idgrod just fine, didn't they? So what's the difference? WIGamesTagFlee You have to understand, his presence here has caused... Well, it's difficult for the people to get used to. WIGamesTagFlee When are you gonna do somethin' to help Falion? Stop people sayin' things about him? WIGamesTagFlee It's as bad as ever. WIGamesTagFlee No, I... I was just asking. WIGamesTagFlee Very funny. WIGamesTagFlee How's business? WIGamesTagFlee Still, I fear there is some connection. WIGamesTagFlee Joric will be what Joric will be. Give it time. WIGamesTagFlee He calls out in his sleep sometimes. I've heard Falion's name. What does it mean? WIGamesTagFlee It's Joric. I fear his condition is worse. WIGamesTagFlee What? Oh, nothing. All is well. WIGamesTagFlee What troubles you, husband? WIGamesTagFlee We are all up to something, my dear. All is as it should be. WIGamesTagFlee Yes, but there are concerns. Rumors that he's up to something. WIGamesTagFlee What decision is there to be made? I allowed him to live here. I stand by that. WIGamesTagFlee Have you made a decision about Falion? WIGamesTagFlee I have never doubted that, husband. WIGamesTagFlee Just guide them well, and all will work out. WIGamesTagFlee It does not surprise me. They do not share in what I see, and I cannot explain it to them. WIGamesTagFlee No, not at all. It's just... WIGamesTagFlee The people still doubt me, don't they. WIGamesTagIt1 You're it! WIGamesTagIt2 Got you! WIGamesTagIt3 You're too slow! WIGamesTagYouGotMeTopic Oh! You got me!

WindhelmGoodbyes See you around, my beauty. WindhelmGoodbyes A word of advice -- don't buy discounted armor. WindhelmGoodbyes If you've need of weapons or armor, come back and see Oengul. WindhelmGoodbyes May the earth beneath your feet be always soft. WindhelmGoodbyes I hope we will speak again soon, marsh-friend. WindhelmGoodbyes Trust me, marsh-friend, you do not want to live in this city. WindhelmGoodbyes I would not complain if you returned with some Skooma. WindhelmGoodbyes Fair winds and calm seas. That's an old sailor's parting. WindhelmGoodbyes It was a pleasure to talk to someone so interesting. WindhelmGoodbyes Travel safely. It's dangerous out there. WindhelmGoodbyes If you'll excuse me, I must return to my duties. WindhelmGoodbyes Do come again! WindhelmGoodbyes Very well. WindhelmGoodbyes May you lose yourself in the pages of a good book! WindhelmGoodbyes As you travel Skyrim, make sure you stop and take in the view from time to time! WindhelmGoodbyes If you need another drink, I'll be right here. WindhelmGoodbyes Have a seat, there should be plenty of space. WindhelmGoodbyes Please forgive my mood. I'm still coming to terms with my daughter's death. WindhelmGoodbyes Please forgive my mood. I'm still coming to terms with the death of my wife and daughters... WindhelmGoodbyes Don't take anything for granted in life. Nothing lasts forever. WindhelmGoodbyes Be sure to stop by Sadri's Used Wares in the Gray Quarter. WindhelmGoodbyes Take care, friend. WindhelmGoodbyes Sometimes the difference between life an' death is a swift steed. WindhelmGoodbyes Sorry about the smell. It's a stable, after all. WindhelmGoodbyes Whether it's armor you need or a new blade, come see me. WindhelmGoodbyes If you meet anyone in your travels who needs good steel, send them my way. WindhelmGoodbyes Strength and steel are well and good, but magic is the true power in this world. WindhelmGoodbyes A strong sword-arm wins battle, but a keen mind wins wars. WindhelmGoodbyes Safe journeys, sword-brother. WindhelmGoodbyes Farewell, then. WindhelmGoodbyes A most pleasant chat. Until the next! WindhelmGoodbyes I bid you safe travels. WindhelmGoodbyes Be seeing you. WindhelmGoodbyes Alright, then. WindhelmGoodbyes Good day to you. WindhelmGoodbyes If you're not doing something you enjoy, then you're wasting your life. WindhelmGoodbyes I hope to see you again soon. WindhelmGoodbyes If you have need of tonics or potions, come see me at my shop. WindhelmGoodbyes Watch yourself out there. WindhelmGoodbyes Battle reveals who a man really is. Remember that. WindhelmGoodbyes Keep on your guard. This city can be a little rough for those such us. WindhelmGoodbyes It was a pleasure. WindhelmGoodbyes I should have been an adventurer like you, instead of a farmer. WindhelmGoodbyes Never trade a sword for a hoe, my friend. WindhelmGoodbyes Right. See you around. WindhelmGoodbyes Aye, 'til next time. WindhelmGoodbyes The last one was warm up. WindhelmGoodbyes Sure, Sorex. Just like you did the last one. WindhelmGoodbyes Actually just a bottle for me today. I'm thinking of giving it to Vivienne. WindhelmGoodbyes Spiced Wine for the Winking Skeever? WindhelmGoodbyes Well, keep at it. The fish have to get to know you before they're willing to bite. WindhelmGoodbyes Naw, mostly just froze. WindhelmGoodbyes Brave man, with the Blackbloods out there. Did you catch anything? WindhelmGoodbyes I went out ice fishing a few days ago. WindhelmGoodbyes Vittoria is practically glowing. WindhelmGoodbyes It should be quite the affair. Nice to have something happy in the midst of the war. WindhelmGoodbyes Not too bad. A few of the guests from the upcoming wedding have placed orders. WindhelmGoodbyes They seem to when you're around Silana. WindhelmGoodbyes Are your sales going well? WindhelmGoodbyes I hope the Divines have been keeping you well. WindhelmGoodbyes Do you know I look forward to Burning of King Olaf each year just because of the fire? WindhelmGoodbyes A bit of warming wine, Illdi. You know you can't resist. WindhelmGoodbyes Not fair. You're well aware I can't seem to get warm here. WindhelmGoodbyes Plenty of ways to worship the Divines as you know. WindhelmGoodbyes Of course. And I'm sure it's mostly for ceremonial purposes. WindhelmGoodbyes Ah a few bottles of Spiced Wine should hit the spot. WindhelmGoodbyes Viarmo is trying to get Elisif to allow the Burning of King Olaf. I don't want to look like I don't know how to drink in front of the other bards. WindhelmGoodbyes No thank you. I'm still feeling sick from the festival. WindhelmGoodbyes I haven't known you to drink before, Ataf. WindhelmGoodbyes A bottle of spiced wine for ya, Ataf? WindhelmGoodbyes I'll take a bottle of spiced wine. WindhelmHellos Did Viola send you to bother me? WindhelmHellos Serving as Steward to Ulfric Stormcloak was a great honor, but I don't miss his temper. WindhelmHellos I don't care that we lost, I'm just glad the war is over. WindhelmHellos The Stormcloaks are finding victory across the land. WindhelmHellos I'm not much of a strategist, but Lord Ulfric listens to my counsel all the same. WindhelmHellos If you have any news of the western holds, take it to Ulfric immediately. WindhelmHellos Terrible shame, what happened to those women. WindhelmHellos I was one of the best soldiers in the Stormcloak army, until I took a sword through the chest. WindhelmHellos I'd be out there fighting the Imperials right now if it wasn't for my war-wound. WindhelmHellos Ever since that Imperial craven ran me through from behind, I've had trouble breathing. Don't have any trouble drinking though. WindhelmHellos What? Were you hoping to claim this house for yourself? Well, the Aretinos always liked me, so I think I'm family enough to take up here. WindhelmHellos The milk drinkers in this town wouldn't last five minutes in a real battle. WindhelmHellos Rumor holds that the Aretino boy brought an assassin here. Sounds like nonsense to me. WindhelmHellos I once killed six men, single-handed, while rescuing my brothers-in-arms from ambush by an Imperial patrol. WindhelmHellos I'm not too proud to admit that I need a bit of help from time to time. WindhelmHellos Can't say I mind the sight of all the Imperial guards. It's a change for the better. WindhelmHellos All my goods are legitimate, which is more than I can say for some. WindhelmHellos I like to share my good fortune with those who deserve it. WindhelmHellos Trader dropped by recently with some lovely pieces, if you'd like to have a look. WindhelmHellos Pardon the mess. We're really trying to do better around here. WindhelmHellos "Windhelm's an easy posting!" they said. Guess they didn't count on Ulfric's little uprising. WindhelmHellos Can you believe the company won't even dock ships here anymore? WindhelmHellos The conquering hero returns! WindhelmHellos I really can't thank you enough for your help. WindhelmHellos I still can't believe Isabella's gone. She was such a helpful young lass. WindhelmHellos Now more than ever, the world needs tales of heroism. WindhelmHellos I'll find some way to finish my book. WindhelmHellos Know any tales of nobility and courage? I'm keen to record them. WindhelmHellos Oh splendid, another Nord. WindhelmHellos Come slumming to the Gray Quarter, have you? WindhelmHellos Welcome, brother. Please, enjoy yourself. WindhelmHellos Welcome, sister. Please, enjoy yourself. WindhelmHellos Apparently some Nord women were murdered. Not sure why I should care. WindhelmHellos At long last, Windhelm is free. No longer must we suffer persecution at the hands of Ulfric Stormcloak. WindhelmHellos Things have been a lot worse around here since Ulfric took over. WindhelmHellos It's not the cold of Skyrim that gets to me. It's the stink from the people. WindhelmHellos When I've made enough money, I'm going to return to Morrowind in high style. WindhelmHellos Both my daughters. Now my wife? How much is one man supposed to take? WindhelmHellos Poor Nilsine has been wrecked since her sister was killed. WindhelmHellos Seeing a good tavern brawl might be just the thing to lift my spirits. WindhelmHellos Brond's one of the most savage fighters I've ever seen... WindhelmHellos What I lack in strength, I make up for with tenacity. WindhelmHellos You need anything, come see me. I'm as resourceful as I am discreet. WindhelmHellos I have a lot of respect for Ambarys Rendar, but his views are a little extreme. WindhelmHellos You look like someone who appreciates nice things. WindhelmHellos Oh, pardon me. Was I in your way? WindhelmHellos I hope someday we'll get to know each other better. WindhelmHellos I see why the Nords like Skyrim. This crisp air is wonderful for the lungs! WindhelmHellos You seem like such a nice person. I'd love to hear more about you. WindhelmHellos Can't believe Ulfric's gone. If not for Hermir, I'd have left the city by now. WindhelmHellos Everyone says Eorlund Gray-Mane is the best smith in Skyrim. I plan to change a few minds about that. WindhelmHellos Need some metal hammered? WindhelmHellos Hermir's become a decent smith. Like to think I had a hand in that. WindhelmHellos With my swords in their hands, Ulfric's men will send those legion dogs running. WindhelmHellos I lost my twin sister a while back. Have you ever lost anyone close? WindhelmHellos My father says we need to just get on with our lives. Like it's that easy. WindhelmHellos I've been a lot of things in my life. Pit fighter's the one I'm best at. WindhelmHellos We should get a dragon for the Pit. I'd love to fight one. WindhelmHellos I've been fighting in the Pit for years. That should tell you something. WindhelmHellos There's two kinds of Pit fighters -- good ones and dead ones. WindhelmHellos Ulfric once tried to get me to fight for him, but marching bores me. WindhelmHellos Steel. Barehanded. Armor. Naked. It's all fighting. I can kill you with a weapon or by myself. No difference. WindhelmHellos With Ulfric dead and the Stormcloaks gone, who will have the courage to champion the cause of Talos? WindhelmHellos I've spent my life serving Talos. I don't plan to stop now, no matter what the Empire says. WindhelmHellos Talos created the Empire. You'd think they'd show him more respect. WindhelmHellos The way I see it, Ulfric's fighting a holy war. WindhelmHellos Someday all of Skyrim will worship Talos openly, as we do here. WindhelmHellos Whatever you've heard I can do is probably true. WindhelmHellos If Ulfric needs a favor, he has it. Anyone else better pay well for the service. WindhelmHellos I'd explain my research, but you'd just be confused. WindhelmHellos Yes, I'm a powerful wizard. No, I won't put on a magic show for you. WindhelmHellos My job? Well, I'm the Watcher of the Wheel! Which is... exactly what it sounds like. I watch the Wheel. WindhelmHellos Watching the wheel isn't as simple as you might think. Have to inspect all the way around the ice, make sure it's not melting. WindhelmHellos Don't get too many folks up here these days. Sometimes I think they've forgotten about me. WindhelmHellos My time is limited, so speak quickly. WindhelmHellos It'll take time to rebuild, but the Nords are no strangers to hard work. WindhelmHellos The dark elves and Argonians won't soon forget Ulfric's prejudice, but I'm doing what I can to repair that rift. WindhelmHellos Being a Jarl isn't something I ever wanted, but if I can help these people, then I will. WindhelmHellos Got no time for a Nord who thinks he's better than everyone else. Keep walking. WindhelmHellos I told you, I've got no patience for fools. Keep walking. WindhelmHellos There's no glory in war. It's just something they tell soldiers so they'll risk their lives. WindhelmHellos They call me a war hero. I'm no hero, I'm just a soldier who didn't want to die. WindhelmHellos If Ulfric had his way, anyone who wasn't a Nord would be shipped right out of Skyrim. WindhelmHellos The sooner this war ends, the sooner we can all get on with our lives. WindhelmHellos Welcome to the House of Curiosities! I offer a brief tour for a few coins, or you can simply browse at your leisure. WindhelmHellos If you've got some time, stop by my House of Curiosities. I promise you'll see wonders! WindhelmHellos Welcome, friend, to Calixto's House of Curiosities! WindhelmHellos My sister and I once traveled the world to assemble our collection. Such adventures we had! WindhelmHellos I don't care much for the war one way or the other. WindhelmHellos It bothers me that fewer people come to Windhelm these days. WindhelmHellos Name's Nils. I'm the cook up at Candlehearth Hall. WindhelmHellos Can't just throw the big logs on the fire. Got to have the little bits, too. WindhelmHellos When I'm cutting wood, I pretend there's an Imperial soldier's head on the stump. WindhelmHellos Hello, hello, hello. Interested in fighting in the Pit? The rules are strict, but if I don't see it, it didn't happen, know what I mean? WindhelmHellos It's very important to Huki that all the battles are fair. What's more important to me is that my pay is fair. WindhelmHellos Prove your valor in the Pit! If you haven't got any valor, prove your pocketbook! WindhelmHellos When Ulfric was killed, justice was done. That might sound harsh, but it's how I feel. WindhelmHellos I thought the the Gray Quarter would be a haven for my kind. I was wrong. WindhelmHellos The Gray Quarter's not much to look at now, but it wasn't always so bad. WindhelmHellos The cornerclub's been filling up at night lately. I'll bet Elda up at Candlehearth is jealous. WindhelmHellos We might be poor, but is it really any better out there? WindhelmHellos Not a day passes that I don't wonder if life would be better in Morrowind. WindhelmHellos I don't see why we should live as an underclass to the Nords. If anything, they owe us. WindhelmHellos Alchemy is simple. Unless, of course, you are simple. Then I can't help you. WindhelmHellos Must you bother me now? I've almost figured out where it is. WindhelmHellos My master can be a bit short-tempered, but I've learned so much from him. WindhelmHellos I'll never have Master Nurelion's skill with potions. WindhelmHellos I have a decent mind for potions, but I've also learned how to craft magical items. WindhelmHellos I'm a sailor on the Northwind. We're laying over in Windhelm for awhile. WindhelmHellos It's good to spend some time on solid land. WindhelmHellos A life on the river makes for weak legs, so I do a lot of walking when we dock. WindhelmHellos Captain Kjar expects the best, but he's a fair man. He never fails to reward hard work and loyalty. WindhelmHellos Never much cared for Windhelm. The place is depressing. WindhelmHellos I'm a lot happier out here on the deck than I am wandering around in that ruin of a city. WindhelmHellos I heard those Forsworn out west live in caves. Can't be any worse than trying to live in Windhelm. WindhelmHellos Can't wait until we raise anchor. Anytime the boat's not moving, I start to get impatient. WindhelmHellos Sorry, but I'm not looking to hire any more crew right now. WindhelmHellos You don't know what freedom really means until you've lived on the river. WindhelmHellos Been on the river since I could walk. Wouldn't trade it for the world. WindhelmHellos While you're on my boat, you follow my rules. First rule is, don't touch anything that doesn't belong to you. WindhelmHellos The best way for us to win the Nords' respect is through hard work. WindhelmHellos Too many dark elves in Windhelm complain about the way we're treated. What good does complaining do? WindhelmHellos I'm proud of my farm. It takes no small effort to grow crops in this part of Skyrim. WindhelmHellos I own Hollyfrost Farm outside the city. It's honest work, if a bit dull. WindhelmHellos The Cruel-Seas have been sailors for generations. In truth, I regret not following in the footsteps of my ancestors. WindhelmHellos If I make enough money from the farm, I'll buy myself a longship to sail the rivers of Skyrim. WindhelmHellos I understand what potions do, but I don't always understand how they do it. WindhelmHellos This is Stormcloak territory. If you're one of those craven Imperials, don't expect a warm welcome. WindhelmHellos If you're here to join the Stormcloaks, the palace is inside. WindhelmHellos Loyal Nords are always welcome here. Anyone else better watch their step. WindhelmHellos If you're an Imperial spy, better turn around right now. WindhelmHellos Stay away from the Aretino Residence. The place is cursed. WindhelmHellos You should unload some of that unwanted gear. Head over to Sadri's Used Wares, talk to the Elf. WindhelmHellos If you need an apothecary, the White Phial has respectable stock. WindhelmHellos By the gods, you're diseased. Get yourself to the White Phial and purchase a remedy, before you infect us all. WindhelmHellos The Dunmer get their drinks at the New Gnisis Cornerclub. Why they can't just call it a tavern is beyond me... WindhelmHellos If it's bed or board you're after, Candlehearth Hall's got both. WindhelmHellos Across the river to the northeast lies Yngol Barrow. Steer clear of that foul place, lest the walking dead claim you as their own. WindhelmHellos The Eye of Talos was a fine ship, once. Now it lies wrecked, off an island just north of here. WindhelmHellos Maybe you've seen masts sticking out of the water to the northeast? That would be the wreck of the Winter War. Fine vessel, back in its day. WindhelmHellos South of here, and west of the road, lies Cronvangr Cave. Stay away from that cursed place, and the vampires that call it home. WindhelmHellos Tell me you've seen them. Those... things. Small and evil, like something out of a nightmare. They come from Stillborn Cave, to the north. I know it. WindhelmHellos I've no problem with your kind, Orc. But that stronghold you've got in the southeast? Narzulbur? It's an affront to my people. WindhelmHellos I've no problem with Orcs. But that stronghold they've got in the southeast? Narzulbur? It's an affront to my people. WindhelmHellos You hear the news? There's a dragon roosting up on Mount Anthor, to the northwest. WindhelmHellos I do the cookin' and cleanin' round the palace. WindhelmHellos Don't need to pay me no mind. I'm the least important person in here. WindhelmHellos Keepin' the palace clean an' the lords fed ain't easy work, but it's honest work. WindhelmHellos Every night, I walk around the Gray Quarter and let them gray-skins know what I think of 'em. WindhelmHellos We ought dig a big hole, throw all them dark elves and Argonians in it, and let 'em tear each other to pieces. WindhelmHellos Only thing I hate worse than those scale-backs are them filthy gray-skins! WindhelmHellos The Gray Quarter's a disgrace. Them dark elves live like animals. WindhelmHellos Can't see why we let them dark elves live inside the walls. We should kick 'em out like we did to the scalebacks. WindhelmHellos Yes? Make it quick, I'm a busy man. WindhelmHellos Skyrim isn't very friendly for Argonians, so we mostly just keep out of the way. WindhelmHellos Shahvee knows the dock doesn't look nice, but fresh air is good for the gills. WindhelmHellos Good honest work staves off the cold. WindhelmHellos I like to bring Grimvar down here sometimes. It reminds him how lucky he is. WindhelmHellos I try to keep Grimvar safe, but these are dangerous times. WindhelmHellos When Grimvar asks me why women are being killed around the city. I don't even know what to say to him. WindhelmHellos Ever tried taking care of children? It can be a nightmare. WindhelmHellos We can't thank you enough for helping us get this office running. WindhelmHellos Hey, it's our hero! Seen any more of those pirates around here? WindhelmHellos I appreciate everything you've done for us, but I really am quite busy. WindhelmHellos To receive the blessing of Talos, you have only to pray at the altar. WindhelmHellos Ulfric Stormcloak was a true hero of Skyrim. He stood up to the Thalmor and refused to turn his back on Talos. WindhelmHellos The Stormcloaks are gone, but Talos will never be forgotten. I don't care what the Thalmor say! WindhelmHellos You know about Talos? He founded the Empire! WindhelmHellos We're the only Temple in Skyrim that can openly worship Talos. WindhelmHellos Those awful Thalmor can't touch us, thanks to Ulfric. WindhelmHellos I can't believe the Empire would turn its back on Talos. WindhelmHellos Spare a coin for a poor old woman, milord? WindhelmHellos Spare a coin for a poor old woman, milady? WindhelmHellos Spare a coin? Talos rewards the generous. WindhelmHellos I hope the wind dies down a bit before tonight. Hard when you've got to sleep outside. WindhelmHellos Nervous being alone at night. Especially these days, with the Butcher prowling the streets. WindhelmHellos Looking for shipping? We'll always offer better service than the East Empire Company. WindhelmHellos These lazy Argonians better get their tails moving. WindhelmHellos You hear about the Shatter-shield girl? It's a tragedy. WindhelmHellos Torbjorn wants the shipping operations to bring in cash, and I make it happen. WindhelmHellos Come see me in the marketplace tomorrow. You won't find better prices in all of Eastmarch. WindhelmHellos I don't haggle. If you want a lower price, look elsewhere. WindhelmHellos I'd travel more, but who wants to deal with all the soldiers these days? WindhelmHellos If you're looking to get a drink, Candlehearth Hall's got warm fires and strong ale. WindhelmHellos Horses. All day long. Do you have any idea how dull horses are? WindhelmHellos If the guards would listen to Viola, they'd have caught the Butcher by now. WindhelmHellos I love my husband, but he can be a bit... dull at times. WindhelmHellos Ugh. I'll need to bathe thoroughly to get this stench off of me. WindhelmHellos Looking for something? WindhelmHellos Real Nords like to prove their mettle in the pit. WindhelmHellos Just between you and me, I wouldn't mind if the Empire just up and left for good. WindhelmHellos I'd love get one of those Imperial weasels under my boot... WindhelmHellos I've been a bit out of sorts since... since our daughter was taken from us. WindhelmHellos Not really sure what to do with myself anymore. I just miss her so much. WindhelmHellos I try not to think of her, but sometimes the simplest thing will remind me. WindhelmHellos No mother should have to bury her daughter. WindhelmHellos This is the Hall of the Dead. Someday you'll end up here. WindhelmHellos My job's simple enough. The dead don't really complain much. WindhelmHellos Luckily Windhelm is cold, so the dead don't rot as quickly. Sometimes the burial has to wait for the ground to thaw, though. WindhelmHellos Another Dark Elf. Just what Windhelm needs. WindhelmHellos Maybe you should just move along. WindhelmHellos This here's Candlehearth Hall. Great room's upstairs, an' there's a bed for rent on the ground floor. WindhelmHellos Got some fresh-baked bread an' good cheese, if you're after a bite to eat. WindhelmHellos Mind you don't get fresh with Susanna. She plays the flirt, but it's just to get good tips. WindhelmHellos Those Dark Elf refugees will take over the city if we aren't careful. WindhelmHellos Be on the lookout. The Butcher could be around any corner! WindhelmHellos Captain Lonely-Gale has been avoiding me, I just know it. WindhelmHellos After what happened to those other women, I'm worried about my own safety. WindhelmHellos Women murdered time and again, and all the guards care about is the war. WindhelmHellos How can Elda hate the dark elves when she knows so little about them? WindhelmHellos You didn't hear it from me, but if you want a real drink, try the Cornerclub in the Gray Quarter. WindhelmHellos Did you know that candle on the mantle hasn't gone out in over a hundred years? WindhelmHellos Stand away from me, or I'll crack you like an egg. WindhelmHellos What are you looking at? Scared of strong women? WindhelmHellos You look mighty tasty. Better not stick around for supper. WindhelmHellos Working in Windhelm is great. I get to see Ulfric up close. WindhelmHellos I never expected Ulfric to live up to his legend, but he does. WindhelmHellos Ulfric was a true hero of Skyrim. He will be missed. WindhelmHellos I just can't believe that Ulfric is gone. Skyrim will never be free now. WindhelmHellos I couldn't ask for a better teacher than Oengul. WindhelmHellos It's a new day in Windhelm. The Stormcloaks are gone, and so is their prejudice. WindhelmHellos I wish the Nords, Argonians and dark elves in Windhelm got along better. WindhelmHellos We Argonians do the work the Nords don't want to do. WindhelmHellos The water is cold, but it's a lot better than having to work up in the dry air. WindhelmHellos Shatter-Shield, East Empire Company... we'll work for any ship that pulls in, as long as they can pay. WindhelmHellos The Nords don't appreciate us, but so what? I don't appreciate them right back. WindhelmHellos Look, we don't have much love for your kind down here. Probably best if you just left. WindhelmHellos Haven't seen you here before, egg brother. Welcome! WindhelmHellos Haven't seen you here before, egg sister. Welcome! WindhelmHellos The docks can be a dangerous place. Don't expect me to save you if you fall in. WindhelmHellos Huh? What's that now? Leave me alone. WindhelmHellos Another day, another septim. WindhelmHellos The young folks are too happy to break their backs for the Nords. They forget what it was like to swim free. WindhelmHellos Do you know my father? He's really important. He even talks to the Jarl sometimes. WindhelmHellos Did you know my father? He was really important. He even talked to the Jarl sometimes. WindhelmHellos All the Argonians at the docks are nice to me. Good thing, too, or father would run them off! WindhelmHellos They say dragons are coming back. I want to kill one! WindhelmHellos I made my fortune as a sea captain, but now I'm retired. WindhelmHellos The townsfolk call me "captain" because I used to be a sailor. WindhelmHellos I lost my family years ago. Truth is, I don't really know what keeps me going. WindhelmIdles I don't appreciate loiterers, if that's what you're here to do. WindhelmIdles I hope you have coin to spend, and you're not just here to gawk at my goods. WindhelmIdles Have a look around. I buy and sell just about anything. WindhelmIdles I'm always happy to see a customer, but I won't deal in stolen goods. That's trouble I don't need. WindhelmIdles Make yourself at home, please. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. WindhelmIdles Fresh fruit and vegetables for sale! WindhelmIdles Fruits and vegetables, all ripe and ready for your table! WindhelmIdles Take home Windhelm's finest and freshest produce today!

WindhelmIdles Go back to Morrowind, Dark Elf maggots! You're not welcome here! WindhelmIdles Get out of our city, gray-skins! This is Nord land! WindhelmIdles We don't want your kind here, dark elves! WindhelmIdles This place reeks of gray-skin filth! WindhelmIdles You like living in this filthy slum, dark elves? Maybe you should go back to Morrowind, where you belong! WindhelmIdles Spare a coin for a poor old woman? WindhelmIdles A few septims for my supper is all I ask. WindhelmIdles I ask only for a little charity. WindhelmIdles Will you spare a few coins to help someone who's got nothing? WindhelmIdles I ain't askin' for much, just a few septims. WindhelmIdles The Divines smile on those who show mercy an' charity. WindhelmIdles A few septims ain't nothing. You can spare that, can't you? WindhelmIdles Hear my prayer, son of Akatosh, and grant peace to these departed souls. WindhelmIdles Lord of Seasons, I pray to you now that you might watch over the dead with mercy and kindness. WindhelmIdles Mighty Arkay, God of Mortals, hear now the prayers of your humble servant. Bless these departed souls and welcome them into the realms beyond. WindhelmIdles Mighty Arkay, I pray that you will shepherd these souls as they pass into the realm of death. WindhelmIdles Feast your eyes on my strange and wondrous collection of curiosities. WindhelmIdles For a few septims, I'll give you a brief tour that includes some of my most unusual items. WindhelmIdles The objects you see here might look mundane at first glance, but I assure you, behind each is an unusual tale. WIRemoveItem01MainBranchNotSorry No? Do you care about rotting away for a month in a cell? WIRemoveItem01MainBranchNotSorry Ah, but nobody wants that, right? Painful for you, annoying for me. So, you pay my fine... and you walk away. WIRemoveItem01MainBranchSorry See that it doesn't happen again. WIRemoveItem01MainTopic You shouldn't leave weapons laying around. Someone could get hurt. And if I see you do it again, that someone will be you. WIRemoveItem01MainTopic Have I made myself clear? WiRemoveItem01NotPayFine Is that so? Well then, I'll have to charge you with disturbing the Jarl's peace. WIRemoveItem01PayFine See, that wasn't so difficult, was it. WIRemoveItem02MainTopic Hey! You dropped this back there. WIRemoveItem02MainTopic You left this back there. Figured you'd be wantin' it. Here ya go. WIRemoveItem02MainTopic I think you accidentally mislaid this, dear. Here you go. WIRemoveItem02MainTopic You dropped this. Good thing I found it and not someone else, otherwise you might have lost it for good. WIRemoveItem02MainTopic You left this over there.

WISharedFire1FemaleOldKindly Dear, you really ought to be careful with fire. WISharedFire1FemaleOrc Better not set anything on fire. WISharedFire1FemaleShrill What do you think you're doing?

WISharedNakedFemaleCommander Put on some clothes, you damned fool. WISharedNakedFemaleCommoner You ought to cover your... unmentionables. WISharedNakedFemaleCondescending Even rags would be preferable to your current wardrobe. Or lack thereof... WISharedNakedFemaleCoward Careful. They might put you away if you don't at least put on some pants. WISharedNakedFemaleDarkElf I've seen enough. Put on some clothes. WISharedNakedFemaleElfHaughty Really. We aren't interested in seeing all that. Remove yourself until you are properly attired! WISharedNakedFemaleEvenToned You might consider putting on... something. Anything. WISharedNakedFemaleKhajiit This one wonders - do you have no clothes, or just like the feel of the wind? WISharedNakedFemaleNord Gonna get cold tonight. Might want to at least cover your delicates. WISharedNakedFemaleOldGrumpy Please. Remove your naked obscenity from the company of civilized folk. WISharedNakedFemaleOldKindly Dear. You really ought to put some clothes on. You're embarrassing yourself. WISharedNakedFemaleOrc Enough already. Put on some clothes. You're making people nervous. WISharedNakedFemaleShrill You're naked! WISharedNakedFemaleSultry You must either be crazy or supremely confident to go walking around with no clothes on... WISharedNakedFemaleYoungEager Not sure you should be walking around naked. WISharedNakedMaleArgonian It should be embarrassed to be uncovered so. WISharedNakedMaleBrute Umm. You got no clothes. You should get some. WISharedNakedMaleChild Naked. Naked, naked, naked! WISharedNakedMaleCommander Dress yourself. WISharedNakedMaleCommoner Ought put on some clothes. Bound to upset some people... WISharedNakedMaleCondescending Put on a cloth sack at the very least. You're making me... unseasonably warm... WISharedNakedMaleCoward Aren't you... embarrassed? WISharedNakedMaleDarkElf You aren't as attractive as you'd like to believe. WISharedNakedMaleDrunk Either I'm drunk, or you're naked. Possibly both. WISharedNakedMaleElfHaughty Cover yourself. Have you no shame? WISharedNakedMaleEvenToned Next time, you might want to get dressed before leaving the house. WISharedNakedMaleKhajiit This one suggests donning some apparel. WISharedNakedMaleNord Ysmir's beard, you're going to freeze to death... WISharedNakedMaleOldGrumpy Put on some damn clothes already! WISharedNakedMaleOldKindly You really should put on some clothes, you know. WISharedNakedMaleOrc All right, we've all seen enough. Put on some clothes. WISharedNakedMaleSlyCynical The way you walk around at home is your own business. When you're at home... WISharedNakedMaleSoldier What are you, some kind of barbarian? Don't care for armor? WISharedNakedMaleYoungEager It's probably not a good idea to walk around naked like that. WISharedSabotageFlourMill The flour mill! WISharedSabotageMill The mill! WISharedSabotageSmelter The smelter! WISharedShadyBusinessFollowUp1FemaleArgonian Now, let us put this behind us and speak of it no more. WISharedShadyBusinessFollowUp1FemaleChild So we're not going to talk about this any more, right?

WISharedShadyBusinessFollowUp1MaleOldGrumpy But let's not talk about it anymore. What's done is done. WISharedShadyBusinessFollowUp1MaleOldKindly Now... I don't really want to talk about it anymore. So let's not. WISharedShadyBusinessFollowUp1MaleOrc Now our business together is done. WISharedShadyBusinessFollowUp1MaleSlyCynical I trust we'll never need to speak of this again... to anyone. WISharedShadyBusinessFollowUp1MaleSoldier Let's go our separate ways now, hmm? WISharedShadyBusinessFollowUp1MaleYoungEager I'm just glad to put all this behind me.

WIThief01AlertToCombat Strangers are nothing but trouble. WIThief01AlertToCombat Karthwasten has enough problems. Leave us alone. WIThief01AlertToCombat Ainethach's dead, but that doesn't mean we can stop working. WIThief01AlertToCombat I work in the mines. I hunt. Everything else I do is my business. WIThief01AlertToCombat These Reach folk are so... nosy. WIThief01AlertToCombat Ragnar has a strong arm. Pity he isn't an Orc. WIThief01AlertToCombat Finally, both of my mines are open again.

WIThief01AlertToCombat You're not from here, and we don't need to be talking. WIThief01AlertToCombat You should talk to Ainethach. He's in charge. WIThief01AlertToCombat Don't have nothing to say to you, stranger. WIThief01AlertToCombat Karthwasten doesn't need outsiders prying in our business. WIThief01AlertToCombat The mine is closed.
