In the Arena District:
"And who in Shinji's name might you be? Look, if you're a spectator, go upstairs and talk to the Gatekeeper. This ain't no damned peep show."
- "And if you're one of those idiots who thinks they have something to prove in the Arena, go over and talk to Owyn." (If the Hero is not a combatant.)
- "And... Ah, I see. So, you're an Arena combatant. Well isn't that nice. Now get out of my face." (If the Hero is a combatant.)
- "And... Wait, I know you. You're that new Champion, right? Hmph. I guess I know why you're here. But let me tell you, you're making a big mistake. The Gray Prince is the best fighter the Arena has ever seen. He can't be beaten. Not by you. But hey, it's your right. If you want to challenge Agronak, go right ahead. He lives down here in the Bloodworks. Do that, come talk to me again, and I'll arrange your match." (If the Hero is a Champion.)
- "And... Wait, I know you. You're that new Champion, right? Oh, don't tell me you've actually challenged the Gray Prince to a match! Are you insane? Agronak gro-Malog is the best fighter ever to step into an Arena. He can't be beaten! Not by you! But if you want to fight him, that's your right... Well, you know the drill. You let me know when you're ready for a match, and Agronak will head up to the Arena and prepare for your arrival. Just make sure you understand our rules of competition for this match. Fighting the Grand Champion, well... The rules are a bit different." (If the Hero has challenged Agronak.)
After challenging the Gray Prince:
"So, you've actually challenged the Gray Prince? Do you really know what you've gotten yourself into? Agronak gro-Malog is the best fighter ever to step into an Arena. He can't be beaten! Not by you! But if you want to fight him, that's your right... Well, you know the drill. You let me know when you're ready for a match, and Agronak will head up to the Arena and prepare for your arrival. Just make sure you understand our rules of competition for this match. Fighting the Grand Champion, well... The rules are a bit different."
- Battle Matron "The Battle Matron serves as the Grand Champion's trainer and manager, among other things. Plus, I get to keep Owyn in line. Works for me."
- Blademaster "Owyn likes to think he's the boss, but without me, this place would fall apart. Who orders the ointment? Who mops up the blood? Me, that's who!."
- Gaiden Shinji "The history books detail his life as a warrior for the Order of Diagna, but he was also the first Blademaster. No Shinji, no Arena. Simple as that."
- Rumors "Would you believe Owyn once asked for my hand in marriage? It's true! Poor bastard was heart-broken when I turned him down. I'm old, not desperate."
- Ready for a Match "So you're ready to fight the Gray Prince, are you? Well you can't go out there without a name. You know, an Arena name! Something catchy, something the people of Cyrodiil will remember when they tell stories about your inglorious defeat! So, what's it going to be?"
- The Black Arrow
- The Butcher
- The Crimson Blade
- The Divine Avenger
- The Messenger of Death
- The Spellslinger
- The Tamriel Terror
- Man o' War (Male)
- Sir Slaughter (Male)
- Iron Maiden (Female)
- Lady Luck (Female)
- Dragonheart
- Shadowstep
- Skullcrusher
- "Dragonheart (Or any other Arena name), huh? I like it! Yeah, that'll do nicely. All right, it's time to see if you're crazy good or just plain crazy. The Gray Prince is headed up to the Arena as we speak. Go up there and meet him, one Champion to the next. May the Divines have mercy on your soul."
- Ready for a Match (If told again.) "You'd damn well better be ready! You've got an Arena full of people and the Grand Champion himself waiting for you! Now get up there and fight!"
- Rules of Competition "Okay, listen up. There are no disqualifications in a Grand Champion match. That means you can wear whatever armor you damn well please. Agronak will be wearing his Raiment of Valor, and he's probably got it heavily enchanted, so feel free to do the same to any armor you have. Now, as you know, in any standard Arena match you're forbidden from looting the corpse of a fallen opponent. Well this ain't any standard match. In the event that you beat the Gray Prince, you're to remove his armor and present it to me. Then you'll get your own Raiment of Valor."
After slaying the Gray Prince:
"By the love of Shinji, you did it! You beat the Gray Prince! This... This is unbelievable! That makes you the best fighter the Arena has ever seen! But you need Agronak's Raiment! That's right, just go back to the Arena and take it right from his body! Go get it, and bring it back to me! (If the Hero took Agronak's armor: "You've got Agronak's Raiment of Valor! Good! Give it to me!") All right, now I give you your own. By Shinji, I... I'm shaking! This is amazing! Okay, do... Do you want a Heavy Raiment of Valor or a Light Raiment of Valor? Your choice!"
- Give me the Heavy Raiment of Valor.
- Give me the Light Raiment of Valor.
- "Right! Okay... It is with great honor that I present to you this gold, and the esteemed Raiment of Valor, and name you the new Arena Grand Champion! You've done it! The Gray Prince was a great Orc, rest his soul and all that... but you beat him! Ha ha! Now go! Take some time to rest! When you're feeling up to it, come talk to me again and we'll discuss your future!"
As Grand Champion:
"Ha ha! There's the new Arena Grand Champion! Now listen, I bet you're wondering what's next huh? Well I've been thinking... Why not spice things up a bit, give the people of Cyrodiil what they really want? We revise the rules of competiton [sic] [Do not change this to competition. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.], offer a new kind of match... I'm talking weekly shows, fights pitting you against... are you ready for this? Monsters! And maybe even some wild animals! Sounds great doesn't it? I've had some people out collecting your new combatants. The wilderness is full of 'em! Let me know when you're ready for a match, and it's showtime!"
"Look, these aren't your average Arena matches. They're shows! You fighting some savage beasts! People come to see you kill things. It's simple. We can do them any time of the day. You kidding? The citizens of the Imperial City would love some late-night entertainment! You can wear whatever ever you want, of course. We don't want you getting killed out there! You can only fight once a week, though. We'll need that much time to catch new creatures for you to fight against. Oh, and don't worry. We'll try to match the creatures to your combat abilities, so the fights will always be more or less 'fair.' Sounds good, huh? We'll do it like this. You can fight one, two, or three creatures. The more creatures you fight, the more you win. If you survive, that is! Ha ha ha!"
"You're ready to fight? Good, good! All right then, head up to the Arena and give the people a great show!"
- Ready for a Match "Okay, based on your abilities, here are your choices. Do you want to fight one Goblin Berserker, two Trolls, or two Goblin Berserkers and one Troll (The enemies vary depending on level.)?"
- One Goblin Berserker
- Two Trolls
- Two Goblin Berserkers and one Troll
- "You've got it, I'll have the Goblin Berserker (Or any other option) brought out to the Arena. Now get up there and give the people what they paid for!"
- Ready for a Match (If told again.) "Yeah, I know, you already told me. That's why there's an Arena full of Spectators and some hungry creature that wants to make you its lunch."
- Ready for a Match (If at max level.) "Looks like you've reached your peak. Tell you what, from here on in, you can fight one, two or three Minotaur Lords. So what's it going to be?"
After winning a match:
"Great show, great show! You really brought down the house! Here's your gold. Now get some rest, and I'll see you next week!"
If approached again:
"Well, well, if it isn't Dragonheart (Or any other Arena name)! How's our new Grand Champion, huh? You ready to make me some money? Ha ha ha ha ha! Ahem..."
- Ready for a Match (If you return too early.) "We're just not ready! It takes time to find those beasties and get them back here alive. Remember, just one show a week. Come back some other day."
- Ready for a Match (If you return during a bet.) "You can't fight now! You have a bet down on an Arena match. Look, finish up with our gambling, and then you can fight."
