- Like hounds they come hunting a wounded cat eh? And they have the audacity to send a paid thug for me instead. Your body will be the reply. [ANGER]
- A charitable soul still exists within this miserable realm, a miracle directly from the gods. Many of these plague bearers were familiar to the city.
- But with the slightest hint of disease, they were expelled from the cities and forced to make homes in the wilderness.
- But onto our needs, we're lacking in potions of vitality that can snare the progress of this affliction. So I beg of you, return us these remedies.
- Magnificent, the souls up here were getting desperate, making plans to sneak into the cities and claim them personally.
- But in time we won't need to resort to petty thievery, with our growing numbers, those states will listen to our demands lest they be at our fury. [FRUSTRATION]
- Yes, alas I would like to think so, I merely coordinate these poor souls.
- Whatever gives us the motivation to limp onwards is the one who fathers us all, but what is this of to a stranger?
- I see, only a matter of time till they would send someone to come scooping around. Don't worry, no blood is involved, yet.
- I bring medicine for the plagued here, you probably overheard our conversation? You know nothing in this world comes free.
- This medicine is too expensive to pay for out of my own pocket, so I need any compensation I can get.
- No sadly, just something that delays the inevitable. It gives them peace of mind, and the placebo is more than enough to keep them coming back.
- If you don't want to see any more dead on your roads, then it'd be best to forget that I'm here, and tell Evermore that all is well.
- Thanks, I hope the priests of Daggerfall concoct some sort of cure soon, these poor sods only have so much gold, same with my patience...
- The city of Evermore won't accept me back into their oh-so-perfect city while I look like this. And I'd rather die than being both plagued AND poor.
- You selfish bastads have damned this entire village to an early grave, maybe I can delay the news by silencing their messenger. [ANGER, WANTS TO KILL YOU]
- These remedies aren't cheap deer, if I don't see that gold in a week, we'll have trouble. Do you know the hassle I have to go through to get this? [PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE]
- I'll let it slide this time, you won't be so lucky when you come begging again. I'll assure you of that.
- Well, although there's a matter regarding a potential discovery of lost jewels once adorned by Mados himself.
- The missionary picked up on it while performing his alteration exercises, believing it to be within Grey belmor.
- No worries, there are many scouts who'll jump at the chance.
- And gold you shall receive, but that's if you do manage to ascertain it, that scarred field and the ruins itself are still cursed.
- Blessings of the divine upon you for your deed, and some gold to go along with it.
- Yes I've heard as much, yet another pay out for such an eager and helpful lad like yourself. And also a bonus for not getting my squire killed.
- An advisor from the Divide has appointed a meeting with Mortifayne, I will be attending too, and I would like you to accompany me.
- Excellent, the man seems to be a tad shorter than his grandfather, but still boasts his impressive build. Have some gold for your efforts friend.
- Great, you'll soon become a trusted friend of the Priest Circle at this rate.
- The matter is urgent..... I will have to seek another, maybe from the guard, although they're not on good terms with the people of The Cistern.
- The lord in all his "wisdom" thinks it's best to terminate ties with the few remaining allies in this region. He never used to be this bitter.
- And I'm not sure what caused his turning, what with the death of his wife or the stress of running such a dreadful town.
- Not so loud you fool, don't give him a reason to have both our heads. But the speaking of Evermore has reminded me of something very important. [FEAR, WHISPER BUT STILL AUDIBLE]
- Whispers from crows have told us about one of Mados's descendants, who now calls a small hamlet called Tebandra home.
- Normal Bretons can wield Mados's armor, but none are able to incite the runes placed within them to harness the potential.
- The same potential that Mados made use of when stemming the orsimer incursion, and where he pulled that miracle at Grey Belmor.
- Some have also said the Armor carries the will of Mara within it too, although I question the integrity of those claims.
- Please mortifayne, consider what you're saying. [BEGGING]
- Yes, I am sorry, my lord.
- They're the beings who wrought that wretched winged terror into our realm, they're being used as conduits for Namira's malice.
- They also turn man to beasts through their horrific rituals, I've been dreading the day they used their power to summon entities of that scale.
- I must also ask you something, please refrain from sharing the information you're about to hear with anyone else.
- Yes and I fear we may be correct, we've had our suspicions that the mistress of decay was running amok amongst the savages.
- Just looking at the hagraven's gives away Namira's influence within that tribe, I assume you ran into the matriarchs yes?
- I needed to ask, that necklace you retrieved from the burrows up the valley, was there a strange inscription on it?
- Kynareth preserve us, I hope this is a coincidence and nothing more. [SURPRISE]
- If the worst of this news is indeed true, it would at least give some rationale behind the recent witchmen activity. And their theft of the amulet.
- I've spoken to the governing priest at the pantheon upon Evermore, we have reason to believe the lord here has had dealings with Namira.
- No more information than that though I'm afraid, we're dumbstruck as to why he would ever want to associate with such a morbid deity.
- Head for the Arch Priest in evermore, King Sigmayne has put feet on the ground against Mortifayne in response to the unrest he's causing.
- The worst has come to light, gods show us mercy. We've prepared for a situation like this after the oblivion crisis. The stone...Yes the sigil stone. [FEAR, COMMANDING VOICE]
- I think a portal just opened in the center of town, maybe you can use that to get to the other side, you must destroy the sigil stone.
- [PANIC]
- Find the tower, and find the stone. Destroying it may prevent this evil from spilling over into our realm permanently. I and the others will follow. [PANIC]
- He should be coming, he had business to deal with in the manor...
- To who, my lord?
- Nine lock my heart.... the skies... [SURPRISE, FEAR]
- Oh thank the nine, let me get a hold of myself. [FEAR, OUT OF BREATH]
- As I came through I had sight of the tower, it seems to be at the summit of this mountain, with those black walls blocking the way.
- Now from what I remember, the minor princes normally govern their stones at the very top. Pray be we can find a way up that tower safely.
- As we were blasted back into Nirn, we had the daedra desperately clawing at us, hoping to keep us within their world.
- I managed to escape their foul grasp as the rift closed in on us, cutting the tendrils that grasped us. I saw that Jackos was fairing worse than I.
- I'm not sure if he made it through, or if those dreaded things pulled him back into their pestilent embrace.
- We can only pray that he made it through, I couldn't imagine the horror that they'd subject him to.
- We've lost two governing bodies in the space of a day, if news of this tragedy goes beyond this land, then we'll become prey.
- I think that the King knows this too, so he'll appoint a new lord for Raven Spring immediately, same with the Divide.
- We can't be seen as weaker than we once were, we'd stand absolutely no chance from another conflict.
- But we do need to bury our dead, and that may take a while. I hope our foes at least have the decency to spare us the privilege of that.
- What are our numbers?! How much damage was done..... I'm sorry, this has been too much for me.
- It wasn't I who sealed that rift, it was our friends here. Our fate was in the hands of people who came to this town through chance.
- Their selflessness for such a hopeless people was more than any words of mine can describe.
- Becoming a knight so quickly is a great boon for anyone, and I don't think I've ever seen someone attain such a privilege without being conscripted.
- But it is the least you should be compensated for, the toll of that realm on all our minds was great. I'm sure the nine were watching over us there.
- You should head to the kings palace and receive the fruit for your labour, I'm sure he has plans for this town, seeing as Mortifayne has vanished.
- Mainly from Arnima, they bribe the exiles weekly so they can make their way through the Maw to us, and make other deals...
- We have to pay a "protection" fee to the exiles too, but they do help when the witchmen start stirring trouble. Most times anyway...
- No problem at all, lad from Evermore is normally sent for repairs and is due again soon. So go ahead.
- Calling me lazy? I do a lot of things, I help out with my wives vegetable stand, I.....I tell interesting stories and I-..... Get off my back.
