Elintius Rentilia

Elintius Rentilia, an Imperial elemental mage, is a Synod Journeyman at the Bruma Synod Conclave. Elintius is desperately looking for a filled common soul gem, and will task you with find one during the related quest.

After waking up at 6am, Elintius takes a quick stroll around the city before having breakfast at 8am. From 9am to 6pm, he will then be found in the library, study room or main hall of the Conclave, attending to his duties. After eating a quick meal, he will again head outside for a stroll before returning for work at 9pm. After three more hours of graft, he will retire to his bed in the basement at midnight.

He wears Synod robes, a Synod hood and a pair of mage boots, as well as carrying the key to the Conclave, a fork, some calipers and a random selection of gold, lockpicks, rings, food and drink. Although unarmed, Elintius is able to cast the spells Candlelight, Circle of Protection, Snowy Firebolt, Ebonyflesh, Fast Healing, Fear, Fireball, Greater Ward, Ironflesh and Sparks.

Dialogue

Elintius will cheerily greet you:

"Elintius Rentilia, master Alteration...ist of the Synod here in Bruma, at your service."

"Greetings, my friend! Welcome! Welcome to the Bruma Synod Conclave! I'm Elintius Rentilia, Alteration trainer, spell-seller and your humble servant."

"Good to see you again, friend! What can ol' Elintius do for you?"

You can then ask him a few questions

You're certainly cheery.

"Why shouldn't I be? I'm in the cosmopolitan heartland of the Empire, working in a Synod Conclave with a warm hearth and good pay. What more could I ask for?"

Why don't you sell any spells?

"Ah, that. Well, I could, but... I can't."

Care to elaborate?

"Well, I know advanced spells, but I'm not authorized to teach them. Rules from on high. We're not allowed to teach magic to anyone who hasn't proven themselves responsible enough to handle it. And by that they mean, anyone who isn't a high-ranking member of the Synod."

I... see.

"Uh-huh."

What happens here in the Bruma Conclave?

"Not very much, truth be told. Cadius can tell you the official jargon better than I, but... Suffice it to say we're quite comfortable and we provide a much-needed, if thankless, service. We are the face of the Synod, you see. Our presence here in Bruma gets magic into the psyche of the common man. Surely that can only be a good thing?"

What are your thoughts on the College of Whispers?

"They're another organization similar to ours. Sadly, we're not on good terms. Sometimes I wonder to myself if it wouldn't be better to just form an alliance with them... But then I remember such talk will get me kicked out of the Synod, and then I shut my mouth. And, speaking of shutting my mouth..."

When exiting conversation he will say:

"If there's anything you need, just let 'ol Elintius know, will you?"

Rumors

His cheerful demeanor seems to have won him friends, as Jerall View proprietor Stantus Faleria will compliment Elintius despite showing his distate for the Synod:

"Been to Bruma's Synod Conclave? Useless quacks, the lot of them. Well, Elinitus [sic] is a nice guy, at least. I mean the organization. They refuse to lift a finger for anyone who isn't a high-ranking member."

Quest-Related Dialogue

Whispers of the Mountain

You will first meet Elintius when entering the Conclave and finding him puzzling over an Ayleid statue in the entry hall along with Cadius Venucius and Roland Wickhart:

Elintius: "Indeed, this is odd! And you say it just appeared here out of thin air?"

Roland: "It isn't mine, that's for sure. Where do you think it came from?"

Cadius: "What is with this commotion? Where did what come from? Who made this mess?"

Elintius: "That's the thing... we don't know."

Roland: "It just appeared out of thin air. Maybe that stranger over there has something to do with it."

Soulgem for Elintius

If you press him further on what he actually does, he will explain:

What does an "alteration-ist" do?

"Ha-ha! What a curious question. Well, I do a lot of things relating to alteration. One of my current particular areas of study happens to be alteration enchantments. You know the trickiest thing about enchantments? Soul gems. Very grim, harvesting souls and imprisoning them in gems. Hard for me to do. Means I've been unable to do any enchantments for a while. Come to think of it, would you be a sport and bring me a filled common soul gem? I'd pay you for your trouble."

This will start the Soulgem for Elintius quest. Should you already have one in your inventory, he will be delighted:

I seem to have one with me. Here. (Give filled Common Soul Gem)

"How convenient! Here's your payment, well deserved for such a quick delivery. Aww, but that poor soul. I hope that whatever you've trapped in there isn't suffering too much... Gah, better go enchant something with this before I lose my composure."

Otherwise you can choose whether to get involved or not:

I'll have to pass on that.

"That makes two of us, then. Aww, well. Come back if you reconsider."

Sure, can't be that hard.

"Great! Just bring it back when you've got it. A common soul gem is all I need, nothing fancier than that."

Once you return with the gem, he will be delighted:

Here is your filled common soul gem.

"Excellent! I'll take that, and you take your coin. A pleasure."

Conversations

While in Bruma, you may overhear Elintius converse with Ananril, Cadius Venucius, Roland Wickhart or Reln-Tei:

Elintius: "Good day to you Ananril! Sales are going well, I trust?"
Ananril: "Ah, Elintius! It's always delightful to have you stopping by. Sales are as high as ever, thank you!"
Elintius: "You know, I would love it if you accompanied me whenever I get another expedition assigned to me from Cadius. If I can be so bold, I think we could both use a vacation."
Ananril: "I would love to Elintius, but I'm not so sure your boss would want me there."
Elintius: "Well, then I'll just have to talk to him about that won't I? I'll talk to you later!"
Ananril: "Goodbye!"

Elintius: "Good day to you, Cadius!"
Cadius: "Same to you, Journeyman. Was there something you needed?"
Elintius: "I'm curious, what's the status of the situation brewing at Underpall Cave? The rumors of necromancers there don't seem to have ceased. In truth, they might have actually have grown worse."
Cadius: "I'll send someone to investigate the situation as soon as I am able. I appreciate your concern, Journeyman."

Roland: "Elintius, you got a free minute?"
Elintius: "Always for a fellow mage, Roland."
Roland: "Well, I was curious about the Journeyman level Electrocution spell you showed me the other day. For instance, let's say I tried to cast it myself and it didn't cast quite the way yours did..."
Elintius: "You shocked yourself, didn't you Roland? I wondered why it smelt of burnt hair in the conclave!"
Roland: "Well... yes."
Elintius: "Don't you worry, we'll find a good, secluded, area of the Jeralls later to practice in, my friend. We'll make sure you stop singeing your... features."

Reln-Tei: "Excuse me, good mage, but can you spare a coin?"
Elintius: "Oh, hello Reln. I'm sorry, but I don't have any septims on me at the moment. These robes don't exactly have lots of pockets, you know!"
Reln-Tei: "Do you have any food at least? Everything helps."
Elintius: "Hrm, I do have this... er concoction I worked up recently. It's safe, and it doesn't taste too bad. It's useless to me if you want it. You may be able to sell it at least."
Reln-Tei: "Eh, thanks. Enjoy your day."
