Despite the devastation, the family remained in Chorrol and attempted to clear the ruins of the destroyed chapel.    was still present in the city when the   began in  , claiming that "not even the  " could drive the Motierres from Chorrol.  One member of the family,  , had abandoned the family some years previous, after growing bored with her affluent lifestyle. She strangled her handmaid with a golden chain, and was invited to join the   branch of the  . As a Dark Sister, she perfected the art of seduction and disguisement and was a valuable infiltrator. One of her duties was the infiltration and monitoring of   Castle as a serving girl; she aided in the Brotherhood's assassination of Governor   circa  .

The Brotherhood were initially unwilling to accept the contract for being out of their usual line of work, but Francois managed to reach a compromise by sacrificing the life of his mother to appease  . After his mother was murdered by  , the Brotherhood sent an assassin to stab Francois with a poisoned blade, specially treated with  . The poison put him into a death-like state, fooling the moneylenders, and his body was left to repose in the chapel undercroft.

Dialogue
She sounds desperate when you speak to her during the quest. Talking to her, she'll sound desperate:
:''"My husband. I can't find my husband anywhere!"
:Who is your husband?
:"His name is Pirtar. I reported him missing to the First Auridon Marines. The Daedra lit our house up like a torch. Pirtar forced me out before the ceiling collapsed, and I haven't seen him since."
:Do you think he's all right?
:"Eight bless and keep him. Our house is on the north end of town. Please, they won't let me back to look for him! This whole thing is my fault anyway."
:Why would it be your fault?
:"It's the Queen, Ayrenn. We were supposed to leave town, but word of Ayrenn's schedule reached us. I wanted to see our new Queen, the founder of the Dominion. If only I'd been less selfish."

Lore:Reman II: The Limits of Ambition

Having found himself in command of the   after the deposition of the incompetent  ,  's first notable endeavor was to negotiate a swift end to the   of  . Reader, grant this thought due consideration—a new and largely untested leader was able to make peace with angered  s without further unnecessary bloodshed. This was no mean achievement, and truly it demonstrated the quality of the man who would bring a golden age to the Second Empire.

How could a leader of such quality, one who not only calmed the rebellious Nords, but who subdued and united nearly all of   to usher in one of the most peaceful, productive intervals in recorded history, let the Empire come to ruin? I will divulge my ruminations on the matter, but not before recognizing the accomplishments of this remarkable man and the lessons to be learned from them.

Reman II was a master tactician, and studying records of the battles he fought shows not only his own acumen, but his respect for his troops—and those of the enemy. When he conquered new territory for the Empire, he established rule with a careful hand, avoiding too much disruption to local customs, traditions, and particularly to established trade. The   culture spread, of course, but not through forced assimilation. Rather, the people came to accept and support the Empire by reaping the benefits of free trade, stability, and the development of better infrastructure. He gathered advisers from each province, and focused on his people more than many Emperors ever had.

For long years, peace prevailed across Tamriel.   and   worship were abolished. Trade flourished, and, through the careful ministrations of Reman II and his councilors, the Second Empire thrived. And yet, the great emperor desired more. He turned his eyes to the provinces of   and  , the unconquered territory weighing heavy on him. In the 2830s, he called forth the legions in an imprudent attempt to conquer Black Marsh. The losses to the swamp itself—its diseases and deadly beasts—nearly matched the number lost in combat with the  s, but the Empire managed to establish footholds in the northern and eastern marches by  . Reman declared Black Marsh to be officially annexed.

In perhaps his most critical folly, Reman II was not satisfied. He turned next to Morrowind and initiated the  , a long, bloody conflict devastating to both sides. The battles were ugly, and the tenuous relations with Morrowind, which had shown some promise for diplomacy, were shattered. He perished fighting the   in  , and his heirs continued on as the Empire began to weaken, bled dry by the cost and wracked with dissent.

And that is, perhaps, the greatest lesson that Reman II can teach to any leader: to keep ambition in check. His success catapulted him to greater and greater visions for the Empire, but in his desire to unify all of Tamriel, he compromised the beliefs and practices that made the Second Empire's golden age great, engaging in a hopeless war unwanted by his people and unneeded to provide them with security, free trade, and a prosperous Empire.
