Dialogue[]
"What are you here for? Are you here to feed the spiders?"
- House Telvanni "It's a funny sort of house, with all those glowing blue crystals all over it. Did I ever tell you about when I was a little girl? I always liked going to the house. That's where everyone keeps their toys. Are you listening to me? You'd better be. Yes, that's better. No need to do that. I'd offer you something, but I'm all out of kwama eggs."
- join House Telvanni "Join with the house? No thank you. I prefer to be in the house, not of the house."
- Nerevarine "Nerevarine? Is that a new play? I like plays."
- Telvanni bride (During the quest "Zainab Nerevarine") "That's lovely, dear, but I don't think so. I have so much to do around here. Besides, I'm already married. I'm fairly sure. Avos. Or Aven. I think. Little fellow. He's around here somewhere. Some sort of magic thing. Quite funny, actually. Did I tell you? About how easy it is to get those caretellian coordinates mixed up? Oh, dear... really quite a laugh. Quite funny. Yes, indeed. Ehr.... What were we talking about?"
- Telvanni councilors "No, Telvanni make the worst councilors. I wouldn't listen to their advice if I were you."
- Therana "Eh? Yes? Therana? Yes? Yes. Of course."

Trivia[]
- She is the target of two assassinations.
- She has a collection of Kwama Eggs in her tower.
- During the quest "New Clothes," she makes it very difficult to finish the quest. The easiest and quickest way to succeed is to immediately hand over the skirt to her slave, and in a fit of rage or jealousy, she will kill the slave, thus completing the quest.
