Proserpina Sylla or Raelyn Oges was an Imperial who could be found in the Elven Gardens hideout. She was Emperor Leovic's concubine. You would have helped her search for his crown, which was cast into the sewers with the former Emperor when his body was dumped.
You would overhear her say the following prior to the quest:
Update 5:
Update 6:
"There's a way down, I just know it. Must get down, must find it."
"I'll have it. It's mine."
She would greet you with one of the following if you decided to accept the quest from her:
"You don't know where the emperor's crown is, do you? I must find it, he needs it!"
"The emperor's crown, the emperor'c [sic] crown, where is it? You can help me find it!"
"You there! Help me find a way into the sewers. The emperor's crown must be down there somewhere. He can't be the emperor without his crown, now can he? You must help!"
"The sewers, that's where it is! Have you seen it down there, the emperor's crown?"
Crown? What crown?
Update 5:
Update 6:
"Leovic's crown, of course. The last true Emperor. Varen may have taken the Ruby Throne from him, but he did not take Leovic's crown. I was Leovic's… friend. We knew each other well. If no one else cares for the lost crown, I want it. It's mine."
"Leovic's crown—the crown that rested on the brow of the last Longhouse Emperor. That skulking hound Varen may have taken the Ruby Throne, but he left Leovic's crown to the rats. Now I want it. It's mine."
"I was there when Varen ran Leovic through. I saw all the blood and gasping. When it was done, one of Varen's rat-faced henchmen dragged Leovic off. The people spat on him and his body fell into the sewer drain. It's down there still."
"It is there. He protects it. For me. Varen saw him dead, but death is not forever. Perhaps… yes. Yes. Death is certainly not forever. A raven mother certainly knows the bounds beyond death."
"First the crown. Then the emperor. No matter if he's dead. If I can get his body back to the Reach, perhaps he can be made Briar-heart. That is clearly what I must do."
"It is there. Varen Aquilarios … the brave and noble Varen Aquilarios, would not sully his halls with the crown of a savage Witchman. He saw to it that Leovic was cast down with his crown and robes intact. The fool."
What do you want with the crown?
"It is mine, by right! Clivia and her flat-nosed family can have their filthy diamond, and their cold broken throne, and this doomed ruin. Leovic's crown belongs to the Reach! It belongs to my son …."
Your son?
"Yes. His son … my son is a king—an emperor by right! By the raven's guts, I'll have that crown!"
So you want the crown for his heir?
"Yes. Leovic shared my bed. It was love at first, but it grew … sour. He took to muttering like an ass. He was mad. If we were still among the Reach, he would have been tied to a stump and shot. I threw up when I learned I was ripe with his child."
"You. You gossip. Not shameful. Scandal, yes. But not shame. The concept of the "noble" marriage does not exist in the Reach. Our customs were the Empire's customs, and by rights and acts I was his wife. Clivia Tharn should be floating in that sewer."
Returning to her with the crown:
Accepted the quest from the crown:
Accepted the quest from Proserpina:
"The crown. I need it. It's down, down, down. Do you see why I need it? His legacy must be restored!"
"You. Are you a friend of the Longhouse? No? Yes? It doesn't matter. Friend or enemy, I will pay well for the crown. It is down. Down. Flushed down into the sewers."
"So you've found Leovic's crown, eh? Well done. I will see it restored to its former glory. I promise."
"You. I've seen you before. I told you many secrets, none of which should be revealed. You. You have the crown! I need it. You will be rewarded!"
"In the years Varen was on the throne, I searched the sewers for my Leovic. I never found him. I don't believe he was there. He has returned in this era of Daedra, come to rid this world of Varen and his followers."
"So you've found Leovic's crown, eh? Well done. Give it here. I will see it restored to its former glory. I promise."
Her final response before quest turn-in was different in Update 5:
"Joy! Emperor Leovic's crown! I miss him so. This only makes me miss him more. Commendations, titles, land will be yours! Perhaps a dairy! As soon as he is restored to the throne!"
She'd greet you one of several ways after the quest:
Update 5:
Update 6:
"You found the crown, the emperor will be so pleased!"
"The crown, just as I remember from his days in my bed. You brought it back to me. I will make sure the treasury is opened to you. A reward for my hero!"
"You're the one who found the crown, I know your face! I must be looking for something else now, but I can't remember what."
"I could see my reflection in the crown when he leaned in for an embrace. He was such a gentle man, in his own way. I will find him again, and restore his spirit. Yes. Restore his spirit."
You've got the crown. What now?
"I have the crown. Next I will find his body. His body, once so warm and inviting. Now dead and rotten and filled with the waste of an Empire. We will cleanse him. I will consult the mother raven. He will be restored, and we will return."
"I am the child of a servant from the homeland… The Reach. The Longhouse sent wealth north. Many came to see the riches of our Imperial City in that time. I knew Leovic as a young man. He knew me as a young woman. Nothing changed when he married."
"This will rest well upon my son's head. He has proud features, like a young wolf. You will see soon enough."
"You hacked that fool Leovic to pieces, yes? Good. Easier for the skeevers to eat."
"Ah—it shines just as it did before. I saw my face in it many times. Laying under that oaf like a sack of …. Ah. Excuse me. Old memories are hard to kill. Believe me, I've tried."
"Ah. A crown fit only for a Reachman. May the Tharns wear crowns of their own; crowns of wrought iron, cinched tight around their scrawny throats!"
You've got the crown. What now?
"I'll take this crown back to the hills—back to the people. My son will wear this crown and the raven's sons and briar's daughters will bend their knees to him. He will carry the Black Drake's wrath, and rule as his father should have done!"
Another version of this line is present in the files:
"I'll take it back to the hills—back to the People. My son will wear it and the raven's sons and briar's daughters will bend their knees to him. He will carry the Black Drake's wrath, and rule as his father should have done!"
"What? No. No. No. Ah, but yes. His spirit, I'm sure, is in Coldharbour. Perhaps I shall use these portals and find him. Find my love. I will take him his crown that he might rule as Emperor of Oblivion. Yes."
The concept of a mistress carrying the late Emperor's child was later expressed in Sister Celdina, who had a child with Emperor Moricar named Mairead, making her the last surviving member of the Longhouse dynasty and Leovic's half-sister (rather than son).
