Quest-Related Events

The Old Enchanter

When first approached:

"Have you come to kill me, Warrior?"

Don't worry, I'm not an assassin.

"Isn't it the Thalmor that sent you?"

Indeed, but I'm not one of them.

"What is it that you want, then?"

I need the incantation for an ancient Ayleid Ritual.

or

I haven't decided yet.

"The Thalmor sent you, didn't they?"

There is a bigger threat than the Thalmor right now.

Either will lead to:

"Then the rumors are true. Celemaril the Great has returned. To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure if that story was fact or legend...but I guess we have the answer now."

Can you help us?

"If it really is Celemaril, then it'd be foolish *not* to help you. He'll destroy Tamriel if given the chance. Unfortunately, I do not have the incantation. It was lost when Celemaril's brother passed away."

Valentis? I have met his ghost...

"Interesting...you can probably get the ritual from him. Here, this will help. It's an amulet that will let you talk with him. It's the best I can do."

All right, thanks!

"So, you will let me live, then?"

You then have a choice to kill him or not:

Sure.

"May Talos guide you on your quest, kind stranger."

Sorry, I can't do that.

"B-but you said you weren't a murderer!"

I lied.

"May you burn in the fires of Oblivion, assassin!"

"What? You said you'd spare me!"

I changed my mind. Prepare to die.

Wrath of the Sorcerer-King

After the Sorcerer-King is defeated he will say:

"Congratulations, Warrior. Although, I can't say I'm surprised."

What does that mean?

"Well, when you get to a certain age, a certain amount of experience, you get a feeling for things. I knew you would triumph. Something about your eyes."

Thank you...?

"If you like. When evil rears its head, heroes rise. And they always triumph. Or else, we'd all be dead! Hehehehe."

Either option leads to:

"Just don't let this victory go to your head. Celemaril was a great king until he grew too proud, too hungry for power."

Prisoner of the Thalmor

When freed from his cage:

"My word... it's you again! I thought you'd decided to sell me out to the Thalmor."

Trust me. I'd never do that.

"That's good to know! I think I'll go hide somewhere while they're still in town."

Good idea.

"Thanks for rescuing me, Warrior!"
