At the start of the quest:
"Heed my words, you endanger more than your life should you approach."
- What are you? "A foolish spirit. My ambition brought me low, but I won't allow it to happen to another. The book before you bears a terrible curse, as do two others. You can hear it call to you, yes?"
- No, I only hear you. "But how? Are you strong enough to resist their call? Could you bring them to the shrine, and finish what I did not? Heed my words. The forbidden knowledge within those books isn't for this world. They must be destroyed!"
- Tell me what I would need to do. "The curse upon each tome is designed to feed souls to Oblivion. But if you are able to resist their pull, you can collect the tomes and bring them to the shrine for their destruction."
- Where is this shrine? "On the shores of Khenarthi's Roost, beyond the town of Mistral. It is lit by an ever-burning flame. Should you collect all the tomes, bring them to the shrine without delay. No matter how strong you believe you are, I fear the tomes are stronger."
- Tell me what I would need to do. "The curse upon each tome is designed to feed souls to Oblivion. But if you are able to resist their pull, you can collect the tomes and bring them to the shrine for their destruction."
- No, I only hear you. "But how? Are you strong enough to resist their call? Could you bring them to the shrine, and finish what I did not? Heed my words. The forbidden knowledge within those books isn't for this world. They must be destroyed!"
After talking to Sahira-daro:
"Don't listen to this fool's words. The forbidden tomes must be destroyed. Place them in the shrine's flame, quickly!"
- There's no flame in the shrine. "What? That isn't possible. No matter. I'll rekindle the shrine's fire with my own essence, but you must promise to destroy them. You saw what happens to those who possess the tomes!"
- Nothing bad has happened to me so far. "Then that is a blessing. Once the books begin calling to you, there is little time before they ensnare you completely. Burn the books! Don't let their burden destroy you."
If the Vestige chose to destroy the tomes:
"You've done it. The tomes are gone! I can't hear them anymore."
- Are you certain? "I'm certain. But no one else shall fall into their trap. You managed what I could not. But it is done, which is all that matters."
