Dialogue[]

Barenziah's Book

"Thank you for responding to my letter, Agent (Player name). It is very difficult for a queen of a powerful nation, and a queen whose home is far away, to trust any mercenary. That is why when my dear child Helseth told me about you, I was so quick to write. There is a rather sensitive situation brewing, and I need someone I can trust to correct some wayward revolutionaries. For 657 (Random amount) gold pieces, will you perform such a service for me? I am also prepared to reward you with information as well as 657 (Random amount) gold."

Yes "I am glad to hear it. Some years ago, a disgruntled, and possibly deranged, scribe of mine wrote a biography of me which my worst enemy would call cruel and defamatory. Because the book was also excessively critical of the Empire and Septim Imperial family, it was wisely suppressed and its author executed. Unfortunately, chapters of the book resurface from time to time. I have reason to believe one chapter has been purchased by the orcs of Orsinium, who are attempting to publish it. I need it removed from their stronghold, also named Orsinium. Time is of the essence. I'm sure Gortwog will not wait long. Once the chapter is safe, we will talk about your ambitions."

No "That is a pity indeed. Prince Helseth is usually correct in his assessment of people, but it would appear that he is wrong in this matter."

Upon returning with the chapter:

"Very well done, Agent (Player name). Prince Helseth did not exaggerate your virtues. Here is the BLANK gold pieces I promised. You may not know this, but not only is Gortwog the holder of that letter the Emperor lost some months ago, but he is also contending for an ancient relic called the Totem of Tiber Septim. If that cannibal gets his warted hands on the Totem, it could mean the end of Wayrest, and possibly all civilization on the Iliac Bay. We may need your able services again, Agent (Player name)."

If the book was taken by the Necromancers first:

"Thank Boethiah you found it before those horrible orcs could retrieve it again. I heard all about them losing the chapter to the King of Worms. Arkay, what a crisis it would have been if they had published it. Here is 657 (Random amount) gold for your services. You may not know this, but not only is Gortwog the holder of that letter the Emperor lost some months ago, but he is also contending for an ancient relic called the Totem of Tiber Septim. If that cannibal gets his warted hands on the Totem, it could mean the end of Wayrest, and possibly all civilization on the Iliac Bay. We may need your able services again, Agent (Player name)."
