Dialogue[]

A Hireling of House Telvanni

"Oh, excellent. Another clumsy adventurer bumbles into my home. I really must put a hex on that lift …. Have you come to rob me? That would go very poorly for you."

My name is Vestige (Player Name). I come on behalf of Sun-in-Shadow, an Argonian in Sadrith Mora. "Sun-in-Shadow … ah, yes. I know the lizard. An enterprising young mage, if memory serves. Don't look so surprised. Her magical abilities are the worst-kept secret in Sadrith Mora. What does she want? I hope you bring more than boring salutations."

I have the finger bone of Saint Felms, taken from Zaintiraris. "Do you now? Well she is a clever one, isn't she? Even convinced you to do the work for her? Impressive. So, what does our scaled friend want in exchange for this relic? No, no, no, give me a moment. I'm keen to guess. She wants her freedom, right?"

Yes. She needs you to endorse her bid for freedom and sponsor her as a Hireling of House Telvanni. "Oh, good. I was afraid she'd do something boring with her freedom, like run off into the marsh to worship trees or some such. Sun-in-Shadow shall have my endorsement. I'll give you a writ. Deliver it to my Mouth, Eraven. He'll know what to do."

"Sun-in-Shadow … ah, yes. I know the lizard. An enterprising young mage, if memory serves. Don't look so surprised. Her magical abilities are the worst-kept secret in Sadrith Mora. What does she want? I hope you bring more than boring salutations."
- "Indeed. Then you must have something for me, for I know the young woman. An ambitious little lizard, if my memory serves. She will know that to get something, you must provide something."^{confirmation needed}
"Oh, good. I was afraid she'd do something boring with her freedom, like run off into the marsh to worship trees or some such. Sun-in-Shadow shall have my endorsement. I'll give you a writ. Deliver it to my Mouth, Eraven. He'll know what to do."
- "Then she has it, if you will give me the relic. If I had to wait for the council to take action, those fool Redoran would have gotten to it first. You can deliver my write to my Mouth, Eraven. Clever-Scales has earned her freedom."^{confirmation needed}
"Do you now? Well she is a clever one, isn't she? Even convinced you to do the work for her? Impressive. So, what does our scaled friend want in exchange for this relic? No, no, no, give me a moment. I'm keen to guess. She wants her freedom, right?"
- "Well now. That was well done. Clever of her, to figure it out. And to get someone to do the work for her. Very well, what does she want of me in exchange for the saint's relic? No, no, let me guess. She wants her freedom. To rise in the House."^{confirmation needed}
"Oh, by all means, ask away. I live in a foreboding and nearly inaccessible tower because I adore conversation."
- "Oh very well, ask away. I live in a relatively inaccessible tower because I adore being pestered."^{confirmation needed}
"I'm a Magister, not some thick-heeled errand girl. Besides, Zaintiraris lies in Redoran territory. Provoking another Great House disrupts the natural order of things. I can't abide disruptions. Better to let expendable peasants do it for me."
- "I am a Telvanni Magister. Not some errand girl. And, well, technically, Zaintiraras is in Redoran territory - according to them. One must walk carefully around the other great Houses."^{confirmation needed}
"I've only recently become a magister, it's true. But don't think me some suckling babe. I should have been promoted ages ago, but that antediluvian hag, Dratha, kept finding reasons to delay it. With any luck, she'll die soon."
- "I have only recently been elevated to Magister, it is true. It should have happened sooner, but that aged hag, Drotha, in Tel Mora kept finding reasons to delay it. Hopefully she'll die soon."^{confirmation needed}
"Peace. Quiet. Some small measure of privacy. Alas, thick-headed adventurers insist on dropping by for long, boring chats."
- "Privacy, peace and quiet. My studies preoccupy my time and attention. Also, Tel Branora became… conveniently vacant just before I was given the rank of Magister."^{confirmation needed}
"Oh, I'm so glad you asked! I love sharing the private details of my research with total strangers. That was sarcasm, in case you missed it. My experiments are sensitive, complex, and none of your business."
- "Oh, let me just tell some stranger all my ideas and secrets! I suspect what you do not know about wizardry and the inner workings of magicka would fill volumes. My experiments are unique. And none of your business."^{confirmation needed}
