Dialogue[]
- Breaking the Barrier
"Welcome to Firsthold! It's so lovely this time of year."
- I've been to nicer places. "Ah, well. Don't suppose you have about a hundred blades behind you, no? All right, then. Time you saw more of town."
- What do I do? "Two wards power the barrier around the castle. Here in the hall, we focus our will. Shape the tip of a spear. Alone, we'd be no match for a Daedric Prince. Together, Estre's magics don't stand a chance."
- Here in the hall? So, you won't be coming with me? "You're a smart one! We'll need to stay here to power the ritual. You act as our focus, our agent in the world."
- Focus? "Take this talisman, find the wards. One's in the east wing of the city, the other in the west. Just point, focus, and we'll do the rest."
- I'll do my best, Sinien. "Just remember, it will take a moment or two for the ritual to do its work. I'd clear out the Daedra first. Assuming you don't want to be eaten. Oh, and say hello to Razzie for me!"
- Razum-dar is out there? "Definitely! Didn't Urcelmo tell you? He's been trying to find weak points in the barrier for us. When that thing goes down, he's sure to move up. I'd look for him in the inner courtyard—after your victory!"
- I'll do my best, Sinien. "Just remember, it will take a moment or two for the ritual to do its work. I'd clear out the Daedra first. Assuming you don't want to be eaten. Oh, and say hello to Razzie for me!"
- Focus? "Take this talisman, find the wards. One's in the east wing of the city, the other in the west. Just point, focus, and we'll do the rest."

- Moonhenge's Tear
After Captain Ethrel's death:
"Looks like we only meet in horrible places! Did you bring the hundred blades this time? No matter. You didn't need them in Firsthold."
- Sinien? How'd you get here? "The Queen sent me to check on our Bosmer allies, and a good thing, too. This whole forest is rife with corruption. I offered my assistance to Captain Ethrel when the Daedra came through the Moonhenge."
- Where are the rest of the scouts? "The Daedra scattered us soon after we got here. We need to find the others and close the portal before the Daedra organize."
- How do we close the portal? "I've been watching the Daedra closely. The commanders pass in and out of a gateway to the north, or what passes as north in this place. If I had to guess, I'd say our Moonhenge has a twin on this plane."
- What do you mean? "The Moonhenge you came through was an Ayleid ruin. But where did they get the idea? Find the keys the Dremora use to unlock the pillars that seal the gateway. I suspect we'll find the sigil stone that powers the portal through there."
- Aren't you coming with me? "Ha ha! Once again, you have your duty and I have mine. I'm going to clear the gateway entrance for you in the meantime. Send the others my way, if you find them."
- What do you mean? "The Moonhenge you came through was an Ayleid ruin. But where did they get the idea? Find the keys the Dremora use to unlock the pillars that seal the gateway. I suspect we'll find the sigil stone that powers the portal through there."

- Where are the rest of the scouts? "The Daedra scattered us soon after we got here. We need to find the others and close the portal before the Daedra organize."
After taking the Sigil Stone:
"Now there's just one more thing, but it's a doozy."
- What else is there? "Well, there is the matter of this Moonhenge. It seems to be connected in some way to the Moonhenge in Greenshade. As long as it's here, all the Dremora would have to do to re-open the portal is replace the sigil stone. So we need to destroy it."
- How do we destroy it? "I created a scroll for just that purpose. Unfortunately, it requires the power of the sigil stone. As the sigil stone is destroyed, the portal will close for good. The person who casts the spell will be trapped here."
- So I'll cast it. "Stop right there. You've got more experience at saving the world than us. We're not leaving you to rot in Coldharbour."
- [Intimidate] I won't leave anyone behind. Give me that scroll. "You cannot be … you're serious. Fine. There may be a planar tear before the portal collapses. You better come back."
- So you want me to choose one of you to stay behind? "Perceptive as ever. Frankly, you are the only one of us that we can't spare. For either of us to make the choice would only be self-serving. But be quick. The portal began to collapse when we removed the stone. Soon, it will all be moot."
- Why can't we destroy the Moonhenge in Tamriel instead? "This spell, combined with the innate magical properties of the Moonhenge? This is Ayleid magic we're talking about. We might destroy the entire Valenwood."
- So I'll cast it. "Stop right there. You've got more experience at saving the world than us. We're not leaving you to rot in Coldharbour."
- How do we destroy it? "I created a scroll for just that purpose. Unfortunately, it requires the power of the sigil stone. As the sigil stone is destroyed, the portal will close for good. The person who casts the spell will be trapped here."
