Urzoga gra-Batul, also known by her title of the Bloodfall Queen,[1] is an Orsimer who is a vassal queen of the Third Empire in The Elder Scrolls: Blades, who inherited the throne from her grandfather some time before 4E 175.[2] She is responsible for sending mercenaries who sacked the Fugitive'shometown.
"So, you're the one they call Fugitive (Player name)? The one who's been killing my men?"
Your men aren't worth the coin you paid for them."They are the best I could find. Admittedly, that's not saying much. That still doesn't give you the right to kill them."
Nor them the right to burn down my town."So, you say you're from here. How is it that we've never met?"
Yes, I am."You admit to your crimes, then?"
I only acted in my defense, and that of my town.
You can add "regicide" to the list!
"So, you say you're from here. How is it that we've never met?"
Your grandfather was still king when I left."I see. Well, my grandfather could count on loyal soldiers to defend his realm. Most of them died with him during the Great War, fighting for an Empire that has never given much of a damn about us. I am forced to rely on mercenaries who are willing to work for a pittance, which is all I can afford. With these, I have to defend the realm against the constant attacks of the Greencap Bandits. And now, it seems we also need to fight goblins and the undead. All of that costs money...a lot of money. When a town doesn't pay, I must act. That said, the fire was a complete accident. I never told anyone to break the statue. For that, I am truly sorry."
I accept your apology."Given the circumstances, I'll overlook your crimes of violence against my men..."
Thank you."Don't thank me yet. I will still need your help against my enemies. Wanum here will be my emissary."
You don't say..."In exchange, I expect you to help me against my enemies. Wanum here will serve as my emissary. You must have more questions for me..."
I'll help you deal with your foes."Thank you, Fugitive (Player name). Wanum here will accompany you back to your town and serve as my emissary. You must have more questions for me..."
"What do you wish to know?"
Did your men find anything in that statue?"My men brought back some enchanted stones and an ancient scroll, which they found inside the destroyed statue. Do you think the undead might be after these artifacts? Should we get rid of them?"
No, let's see if they come back first.
When did the undead attack start? (Disappears if the first option is chosen)"Right after the raid on your town...do you think there is a link?"
Something got out when the statue was destroyed.
Tell me more about those bandits."The Greencaps were always a thorn in my grandfather's side, but lately they've become even more aggressive."
Any idea where their base is?"If we did, there would be no problem. Maybe you can discover where they hide."
Tell me more about those goblins."There's been an increase in Goblin attacks over the past few months...could be due to a harsh winter, or overpopulation. Hard to tell. There's an imperial envoy in your town, Gaius Platorius. He can tell you more about them."
What happened to your father?"I do not speak of him. Never mention him again."
Okay, I won't.
Nothing more for now."Keep Wanum up to date with any new information. He will relay it to me. Take care, Fugitive (Player name). Goodbye, Fugitive (Player name)"

"Ah, my favorite new subject. Did you run into more undead on your way here?"
Worse than that: necromancers."Death mages have been outlawed for centuries! I will not tolerate their presence in my realm now!"
They're after the scroll your men took."The scroll that was inside of that statue? So, there really *was* something special about it, then? Unfortunately someone stole it from us. What's so special about it?"
We believe it's an Elder Scroll."An Elder Scroll? Are you sure? I wish you had told me before our mage left yesterday to go after the thieves. I haven't heard from him since, and now fear the worst. These necromancers must be responsible for the recent plague of undead. Could they use this scroll to cause even more mayhem?"
There's no telling what they could do with it."I'll send word for you if my mage comes back with any information. Thank you for your services, Fugitive (Player name)."
I'm not your subject.""

"Ah, Warrior! I am glad you heeded my call. I have a misison that is perfectly suited to your particular set of skills."
What do you need me to do?"We have reason to believe the Greencap bandits are meeting with goblins in a nearby camp to coordinate their actions. I need reconnaissance done to confirm this is the case. Can you do this for me?"
Of course."Good. The camp is not far from here; report to me once you have any information. Stay safe, Warrior."
After clearing the camp:
"Warrior, I'm glad you're okay. Did you see anything?"
Your suspicions were correct."I knew it! We will have to deal with these accursed Greencaps once and for all! Thank you, Warrior, I will call for you when the time comes."
Show: Raid on the Bandits' Base
"Thank the Divines you showed up when you did, Warrior. We'd have been done for otherwise. I killed many of them, but they just kept coming..."
What happened?"We were ambushed... which means they knew we were coming."
Someone must have tipped them off."That may be...I will contact you about this very soon, Fugitive (Player name). For now, go home and get some rest. You deserve it."
Show: High Treason
"Ah, Warrior. I didn't expect you so soon. How goes your quest?"
I have some...troubling news."It is not like you to hold out like this. Speak freely."
There is a traitor in your midst."A traitor? Who would dare to betray me?"
Your mage is a necromancer."Edrien?! Edrien, what do you have to say to this accusation?"

"Hello, Warrior. I thought it was time I saw for myself what you've accomplished here. I must say you've done quite well, in spite of everything."
Thank you, my Queen.""My Queen"? Well, well... you may not be a hopeless case after all! In any case, I've come with one last mission for you. I want you to seek out and eliminate the bandit leader, once and for all. Will you do this for me?"
The bandit leader's days are numbered."Thank you, Fugitive (Player name). I knew I could count on you."
I'm not your personal assassin."I see. Well, at least think about it... I'll be here if you change your mind."
The damage was considerable."Yes, I suppose it was. In any case, I've come with one last mission for you. I want you to seek out and eliminate the bandit leader, once and for all. 'Will you do this for me?"
The bandit leader's days are numbered."Thank you, Fugitive (Player name). I knew I could count on you."
I'm not your personal assassin."I see. Well, at least think about it... I'll be here if you change your mind."
"Ah, finally! I presume the bandit leader will not give us any more trouble?"
No, he's quite dead."Well, it had to be done. Thank you, Fugitive (Player name). You have been a great help to the realm. A deal? That was not what we agreed on..."
Maybe, maybe not."What do you mean?"
Someone has been paying them to harass you."What?! Who?"
Not sure. A moon sugar smuggler, possibly."Oh, I see. This is... troubling news. Please accept this reward as a token of my gratitude. I will also grant your town a two-year tax holiday. This should help you finish rebuilding it. It's the least I could do. Farewell, Fugitive (Player name). I hope to see you at court some time soon."
Don't worry, I'll find them."I don't doubt you will, dear Fugitive (Player name). We'll remain vigilant until then."

"Ah, Warrior. I was just admiring what you've done to this town. You've done quite well, I must say."
Thank you."You're very welcome. I'm considering whether to relocate the court here."
Really?"Indeed. My keep is old and falling apart, which makes it harder to defend. I could rebuild it here and support the town's defenses. What do you think?"
If you say so."Hmph. I expected at least a little enthusiasm. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for me to hear my subject's grievances. Since the last town magistrate perished in the fire, it is my duty to act in his place. Until a replacement can be found, that is... Are you interested?"
If it can help that young farmer..."Which one do you mean, exactly?"
Frontinus. His brother was murdered."Ah, yes. Well, I can't really pass judgement until a culprit has been found... I don't have the time or resources to investigate this... but perhaps you could?"
Me?"Why not? I will give you a royal warrant, so that you can act in my name. Interrogate the villagers, and if you find a suspect, bring him to me for judgement. Will you do it?"
I'll do it."Excellent. Ask Wanum for the warrant. Good luck, Warrior."
You came here for this?"Actually, I came to settle legal disputes between townsfolk. Since the last town magistrate perished in the fire, it is my duty to act in his place. Until a replacement can be found, that is... Are you interested?"
I already have enough to do."I understand, though I'd appreciate the help, give there are so many claims to review. I doubt I'll be able to hear everyone."
Others are probably more qualified."Perhaps. We can talk more about this later."

Upon returning from the village:
"What is it, Warrior?"
Have you heard of someone called "River Snake"?"River Snake...? Where did you hear about him?"
He's the smuggler who killed Frontinus' brother."Hm. If it's who I think it is, we might be in trouble. Fugitive (Player name), I want to look into this. Find whatever you can about his operations and report back to me. Okay?"
Okay."Good."
Yes, your highness."Enough of that."

"How do you know this?"
Saashi's cousin M'jaddah."That Khajiit smuggler is cousins with our Loremaster? Hmph. If you believe he can be trusted, then we should act. Wanum will go with you. Intercept the shipment, and arrest those delivering it."
It was a trap."Yes. As I said, I got the report. This is not easy for me, Fugitive (Player name), and your attitude is not helping. Your friend the Khajiit was not very discreet in his investigation, it seems."
"Ah, Warrior, so good of you to join us. We were just talking about you, Gabrielle and I."
You were?"Indeed. She was retelling your exploits as a brave adventurer facing impossible odds. That was quite sneaky of you not to mention that vast treasure hidden somewhere in the realm... Were you planning on telling me?"
I wasn't sure it was real."Ah, I see, you wanted to spare me the disappointment. How very considerate of you. Well, now that I do know about it, I am quite interested in finding out it's real. Wanum and I will accompany Gabrielle on this last quest, while you continue tracking the River Snake. With our share of the treasure, we can raise a small army and take him out once and for all."
I really should be there."My decision is made. You will stay here and prepare the final attack on the River Snake."
I did as you asked."I guess you did, didn't you? You tracked the River Snake..."
Who is also your father."I promise I'll explain everything... if we get out of here alive. Come on, let's go!"
Back in the town:
"I guess I owe you an apology, Warrior."
What do you mean?"I wasn't sure the River Snake was my father, even though I suspected it. I should have shared my suspicions with you much sooner. In a way, I was hoping it wasn't him, even though deep down I knew it was."
What is he after?"The same thing he's always wanted: to rule this kingdom. He sees it as his birthright."
Not everyone is fit to rule."He never accepted that my grandfather chose me as his successor instead of him."
He should have been proud of you."He's been trying to undermine my rule since then. He even tried to depose me in a coup. Fortunately, there were enough soldiers still loyal to my grandfather, and he failed - that time."
He'll fail again, I promise."Thank you, Fugitive (Player name). I do feel safer knowing you are by my side. He's never going to give up, but we probably slowed him down a little. We'll just have to continue being on our toes."
"Well, Fugitive (Player name), don't look so surprised."
Youāre competing?"I couldn't let you have all the fun, Fugitive (Player name). I've been wanting to do this for years... This is such a nice respite from my daily routine. Noura tells me thereā's even a chance we might fight against one another. I guess I should watch out for you trying to learn all my tricks in advance, now... Is that why you're here?"
I'm here to investigate the murder."Ah, yes. Noura told me about that, too. I'm sorry I won't be of much help. I was in my keep when the first murder occurred. And I was watching you fight when the other one happened."
People don't know about that one yet."Oh, right. I'll keep mum about it. People are getting suspicious, though. Metundus leaving the competition like that... I'll let you know if I hear anything. See you in the arena, Warrior."

"Well, Fugitive (Player name), we finally meet on the field of glory. I understand if you feel the need to hold back. I can't stop you from losing, if that's what you want. Or, you could just forget that I'm your queen, and fight me like you would any other combatant."
What happens when you lose?"*If* I lose, you mean? Nothing. You move on to the next round, and I go back to my keep, sore but satisfied. This has been the most fun I've had in years. I've already won, as far as I'm concerned. Of course, it'll be even better when I beat you..."
You're welcome to try."I intend to. Are you ready?"
I am."Good. So am I."
Not sure I can do that."Well, you better try your damnedest, because I for one will *not* be holding back."
As you wish."What a good subject you are. Now shut up and fight me!"
Upon being defeated:
"Looks... like I picked the right champion... after all."
Forever at your service."Well then, I must be... the luckiest Queen in the world... Thank you... for not holding back. That means... a lot to me. Don't worry... I won't have your head cut off... or anything. I just... need to rest a little."

Gabrielle's Treasure
The River Snake:"Hello, daughter. So nice of you to visit your father."Queen Urzoga:"I have no father!"The River Snake:"I see you've met my new associate... Gabrielle, why not show the "Queen" what you can do?"
[After the battle] Queen Urzoga:"You beast! There never was a treasure, was there?"The River Snake:"Oh, but there is... Ancient Dwemer weapons, thousands of them, hidden somewhere in these lands. With these I will be unstoppable. Why go for a kingdom, when you can have a whole empire?"Queen Urzoga:"You're insane!"The River Snake:"I should have just drowned you when you were born. Now my reign can finally begin."
