"How so?" Bjolmar asked, unsure of how to respond. "We're rescuing a blind old Imperial with a missing leg. Perhaps I am missing something, but I am unsure of how this man could act as anything more than perhaps some kind of puppet for whoever it is we're rescuing him for, who you still haven't told me anything about, by the way." "Well, that's got me stumped as well.  I don't see how an old cripple can be of much use, except that my contact told me he used to be a powerful mage.  I figure he must have some knowledge they can use.  He was involved in the last crisis the Empire went through and the Emperor himself--that Redguard fellow, what's his name--can't think of it right now--ordered his imprisonment, so he must be a threat somehow.

Saga said, 'we are releasing a terrible darkness'. That could mean anything, though. I've had enough dealings with Seers to know that they always say things like that.

As to who I'm working for, I wouldn't be a very good mercenary if I went around telling all I know about my employers' business, but I can tell you truly that all I know is that my contact is a Redguard. Since the Emperor is a Redguard and I know he's an exile and that the Empire is on the outs with Hammerfell right now, it's got to be that they don't like having him on the throne and they don't like the Empire meddling in their business. As Stormcloaks, you and I ought to be able to empathize with that, Bjol. We want them out, too.

The only way to get rid of them is to destroy them."

(Daithi may have good ears, but they are in their cell now, Shille, so he's not hearing the last part of this conversation.)
