Lady Arabelle

Lady Arabelle is a Breton residing in Lady Arabelle's Camp in Vvardenfell.

Interactions[]

Ascending Doubt[]

Lady Arabelle sent Jakarn to retrieve magical medallions from Guild Scholar Valessea, but they were stolen by the Ascendant Order. The Vestige is tasked with retrieving them.

Lady Arabelle intended for the medallions to act as invitations for peace talks in the Alliance War, but the Ascendant Order cursed them to kill the wearer. The Vestige must intercept the amulets before they wreak havoc.

Dialogue[]

Ascending Doubt

"Ah, so you're the darling Jakarn was just telling me about. The one who helped him complete the mission I specifically told him not to bungle. Thank you for rescuing Valessea. I prefer that no harm comes to my associates—especially the lovely ones."

We also recovered the medallions that the Ascendant Order stole. "So Jakarn mentioned. Well done! I'm not sure how the Ascendant Order ascertained our plans, but at least you recovered the invitation medallions. They're the key, after all. Figuratively and literally. Oh, that's good. I should write that down."

What are these medallions actually for? "Hmm. I suppose you've earned that information. The Society of the Steadfast has decided to sponsor peace talks to end the Three Banners War. The medallions will allow the chosen delegates to enter the hidden location where the talks will be held."

Why does the Ascendant Order want to disrupt the peace talks? "That, my dear, is precisely what I plan to figure out. These talks are too important to allow anything to interfere with them. We must determine what the Ascendant Order wants, and we must do so quickly. But first, may I have the medallions?"

Of course. Here are the five medallions. "Ah, aren't they beautiful? One for each delegation invited to the peace talks. And this is for you. Take it with my thanks. And know that the Society of the Steadfast's coffers are very deep. You'll be paid very well for your continued assistance."

A King's Retreat

At the start of the quest:

"Now that we recovered the medallions, it's time to deliver them to the various delegations. You know about the peace talks and the stakes we're facing. Are you willing to help us finish this, despite the threat posed by the Ascendant Order?"

What do you need me to do? "I need someone trustworthy to deliver the invitation medallions. Jakarn and I will deliver medallions to the alliance leaders so they can assign them to their chosen delegates. I'd like you to deliver the ones for the Fighters and Mages Guilds."

Why are the Fighters and Mages Guilds invited to the peace talks? "The Guilds are respected and influential in their own right. They deserve to be part of these negotiations. Here. Two medallions. And look, Arch-Magister Delric has just arrived. You can deliver the Mages Guild medallion to him first."

All right, I'll deliver the invitation medallions to the Mages Guild and the Fighters Guild. "Please be careful with those medallions, dear. It took a great deal of resources to craft them, and we don't have time to make any more. Deliver one to Arch-Magister Delric and then make haste to the Fighters Guildhall in your capital."

Jakarn mentioned you used to be an agent for High King Emeric "Did he now? And what other secrets has he revealed, I wonder. Well, let me sate your curiosity. I've been many things in my long career. Mercenary, Lion Guard officer, spy, and agent of the High King, to name a few. I have many talents, my dear."

Right. Like an author. You wrote the Investigator Vale books, didn't you? "Never believe what you read in the chronicles. Do these look like the ink-stained fingers of a scrivener to you? I am rather fond of the bawdy investigator and her exploits, though. They remind me of my younger, carefree days of adventure."

So you aren't the author of the Investigator Vale books? "Why don't we set this aside for now. We both have places to be and time is short. If you want to discuss rumors and innuendos, we can talk later. Perhaps over a meal and an expensive bottle of wine? For now, just deliver your medallions, dear."

in the Sword's Rest Keep Dungeons:

"I'm not sure what the Ascendant Order is doing here, but they seem determined to eliminate me and Emeric. I've been able to avoid most of their forces, and the few I couldn't—well, they hardly posed any trouble. How did you know where to find me?"

Valessea contacted us. Said she couldn't reach you. The medallions, the order altered them. "I hoped Valessea would sense our trouble. When the Ascendant Champion and her forces arrived by ship, they brought a powerful mage with them. Most of the island's defenses were rendered useless by his magic. But what was that about the medallions?"

They have a death spell on them. It killed Delric, but Valessea made this powder to dispel it. "A dispelling powder? Very clever! Sorry to hear about poor Delric, but I assume you took care of the other medallions? Good. Last I checked, Emeric was safe in his private quarters. The wards there are still in place, but they won't hold forever."

How can we stop the Ascendant Champion? "With a plan, my dear. Head up to the courtyard and confront the Ascendant Champion. In the meantime, Jakarn and I will make our way around the back and surprise her mage from behind."

I'll go to the courtyard and deal with the Ascendant Champion. "Excellent. And I'll sprinkle this powder on the medallion along the way. Remember, we must stop the Ascendant Champion. If High King Emeric dies, any chance to proceed with the peace talks will be lost. We can't allow that to happen.

After slaying The Ascendant Champion:

"Well! Nothing warms the blood like a bit of a scuffle, wouldn't you say? That mage underestimated me, the poor dear. It's over now, at least. All that's left is to deal with this medallion and get it to High King Emeric."

I gave you the dispelling powder. Didn't you use it yet? "I've been a little busy, dear. Now go outside, get on your boat, and return to camp. I'll meet you there. I need to dispel the medallion. Then … well, situations like this tend to stress out the high king. I can help him with that. I have before."

I'll meet you back at your camp in Vvardenfell.

Back at her camp:

"Things took a few unexpected turns, but we delivered the medallions and the peace talks can proceed as planned. I wonder who the alliance leaders will send as their delegates? Hmm. I haven't seen Rigurt the Brash in quite some time …."

When will the peace talks take place? "Oh, not for a while yet. We're still preparing the secure site on High Isle. But if the Ascendant Order strikes again, I know who to contact. You really are quite remarkable, my dear. And this is for you, compliments of the Society of the Steadfast."

After finishing the quest:

"Such an interesting adventure, don't you think? I must write down the pertinent details. Wouldn't want to forget a moment! And don't fret. I'll make sure to send for you when the situation on High Isle escalates. You're too good not to call on again."

High Isle? Where's that? "Never heard of High Isle? I'm not surprised. It's sort of a get-away spot for nobles and royalty. It's the largest island in the Systres Archipelago, in the Abecean Sea. Technically it's a Breton territory, but most treat it as neutral ground."

It's a resort? "Yes, my dear. It's really quite beautiful. I have a manor there. For those brief periods when I'm not working on one thing or another. The Society of the Steadfast selected it specifically for the peace talks. I can't wait for them to get underway."

So, about Investigator Vale …. "Oh, not that again. You don't realize how tedious that question has become. And all because of a nosy chronicler and her unfounded accusations. Listen, my dear. You and I will get along much better if you never ask me about Investigator Vale again."

Conversations[]

A King's Retreat

Once Arch-Magister Delric arrives:

Guild Scholar Valessea: "I'll create portals for you and Jakarn, Lady Arabelle." Lady Arabelle: "Good luck, everyone. Remember, the future of Tamriel is at stake."

When taking out the mage:

Ascendant Mage: "We're almost through the wards, champion." Lady Arabelle: "Take this, you coward! Look out!"

Back at Lady Arabelle's Camp:

Jakarn: "Lady Arabelle, are you sure you're not injured? Everything happened so fast at the keep." Lady Arabelle: "Enough, Jakarn. I've been dealing with worse villains since before you were born!"
