Kalimbria

Kalimbria, a Breton elemental mage, is a member of the College of Whispers who is working to turn Frostcrag Spire into an official Cynosure.

After waking up at 7am, Kalimbria eats a quick breakfast and from 8am will be found practicing spells on the ground floor. From 1pm, she will be found busying herself around the main hall, breaking off for dinner at 6pm. After relaxing in her quarters for the rest of the evening, she heads to bed at midnight.

Kalimbria wears a College of Whispers robes, farmer's gloves and mage boots, and carries a leveled amount of gold. As well as being armed with an steel dagger, Kalimbria is able to cast the spells Conjure Scamp, Ebonyflesh, Fast Healing, Frost Cloak, Frost Flames, Ice Spike and Summon Zombie.

Dialogue[edit]

In the Tower, you may overhear her saying:

"Now, where did I put you, little spider egg? I know I left you lazing around. Where could you have gone, little spider egg... hmmm..."

She will cheerfully greet you:

"Yes? What is it?"
"Good day, how can I be of assistance?"
"By the Eight, it's freezing up here! Once our business here is concluded, I'm going to request relocation."
"You wouldn't happen to know how to recalibrate ancient Atherial-Magnification Oculi, would you? No, I suppose you wouldn't."

You can then ask her a few questions:

What is this place?
"This? This is Frostcrag Spire? Didn't you know about it? It's rather hard to miss, I would say! Ah, well, I have to wonder... what are you thinking, standing here, in one of the most famous magical locations in all of Cyrodiil?"
It's awe inspiring, to say the least.
"My thoughts exactly! Adventures like these are why I joined the College. You don't get to experience the sights the College offers you with guilds like the Synod, and being an independent mage is just so... lonely."
I'd rather keep my thoughts to myself, thanks.
"I for one just have to wake up, step outside, take a deep breath, and I can practically feel the ancient magics coursing through my veins!"
I'm not thinking anything.
"That's a shame. Such a wasted opportunity..."
How long have you been here?
"We've all been here since the minds over in our headquarters in Water's Edge decided so. I guess they've decided Frostcrag Spire was of enough magical significance to be claimed as a semi-official cynosure. If you mean how long have I been here, well, before this, I was a member of one of our oldest and most respected cynosures, the Drakelowe cynosure. Unfortunately, there isn't much left of the place now for me to be a member anymore, so I came out here, to the frontier! Well, a frontier of sorts."
What's a cynosure?
"A cynosure is the term the College of Whispers use when referring to our halls, or bases of operation. Don't worry, I used to get the College of Whisper's cynosure and the Synod's conclave confused all the time, too, when I first joined up."
What happened to the Drakelowe cynosure?
"It was... well, actually, I'd better not say. That is likely considered classified by the College of Whispers headquarters in the Water's Edge cynosure. Being so far away from them, we have to know when to hold our own tongues when it comes to dangerous knowledge like that, you see."
So, back to our conversation...
"Oh, did you have more questions?"
Find anything interesting during your time here?
"Oh, plenty! This tower has been sealed for almost one-hundred and fifty years, so everything is still fresh. Can't you feel the old magics? I'm sorry, but, I can't let you in on the specifics of my findings. Our guild prides itself on its ability to keep dangerous knowledge safely away from the common man."

Should you ask her again about Frostcrag, she will worry:

What is this place?
"Are you sure you're okay? We've already discussed this, remember? This is Frostcrag Spire..."

After meeting Astor Astentius you can ask her about him:

Is Astor okay?
"What do you mean by okay?"
He seems to think I'm someone called Karland.
"It's sad really, he doesn't even remember my name all the time. I'm not quite sure who Karland is, he may not even be real."
He seems a bit...off.
"I wouldn't doubt it. The man is a genius in his own right. I would've loved to have known him a few years back, but ever since his expedition to Hammerfell..."
I think the years are catching up to him.
"It's sad to say it but I agree with you. Astor use to be one of our most respected Masters of the College, but now look at him."

Either way she will conclude:

"So far he's still been able to contribute, but I'm not sure how long that will last. The other Masters or the Archmage, Tiberius Rindellian, might soon force him to retire."

When leaving conversation she will say:

"Good day, don't freeze out there."
"Always a pleasure to see a new face up here."

Quest-Related Dialogue[edit]

If you're on a mission from Cadius Venucius of the Bruma Synod Conclave to investigate the odd appearances at the Conclave, you will find her in the tower arguing with Astor Astentius about his latest experiment:

Kalimbria: "Astor, you have to be more careful! We don't want anyone getting hurt in this experiment!"
Astor: "Be calm, my dear, be calm! We don't even know if the thing is sending anything through. We have yet to send anyone to check the destination site! For all we know, the blasted creature could be in pieces all over the Jeralls."
Kalimbria: "But a zombie? What if it did go through and somebody gets hurt? We can't have that happen, Astor!"
Astor: "We need live tests, but I see your point. Very well, we'll do it your way."
Kalimbria: "Well, thank you. I just hope it didn't cause too much of a panic over there already."

After this you can question her:

Did you know strange items are appearing in the Bruma Synod conclave?
"What? Oh no... I knew the old man should have been more careful in his experiments. Go talk to Astor, he should be able to shed some light on your conclave's little mystery."

Rumors[edit]

Kalimbria does not appear to have a high reputation in the fledgling cynosure. When asked about Astor, Encarnus will snidely remark:

Is Astor okay?
"Divines, no. The old bat's mind has been slowly degenerating ever since he returned from an expedition to Hammerfell. Anyway, I have important research to return to. If you want gossip, talk to the Breton."

Meanwhile, head of delegation Ravil Fandrani will tell you about Kalimbria's mishaps:

"I need someone to fix a mistake a member of my team decided to disrupt our busy schedule with."

Before continuing:

"You see, during one of my more, ehem, eccentric, member's early Conjuration experiments... She made an error in judgement and attempted a Conjuration spell which was beyond her capabilities. While she did successfully summon a scamp, the binding process was flawed and now the spawn is running wild through the Jeralls."

Conversations[edit]

While in Frostcrag Spire, you may overhear the following conversation between Kalimbria and Astor:

Astor: "Oh, Kalimbria dear, there you are! I've been looking for you."
Kalimbria: "Wow, Astor, I'm impressed. You remembered my name this time!"
Astor: "What are you talking about? How could I possibly forget something as simple as your name? I wanted to ask if you had finished examining the balcony portals yet, like I asked you to."
Kalimbria: "Yes, in fact I did it just yesterday. Why?"
Astor: "Well, if we are ever going to use the things, it would be quite helpful to know whether or not they'll be tearing us apart in the process!"
Kalimbria: "Astor, you told me last week that none of those portal enchantments are active anymore, that you've tried yourself many times."
Astor: "Huh, well... I'm sure at the time I wasn't thinking clearly... must have had things on my mind. We'll examine them together tomorrow, then."
Kalimbria: "If you say so, Astor."
