"I am Neminda, Drillmaster and Recruiter. If you wish to join House Redoran, you have come to the right place."
House Redoran: [Disposition ≥ 50.] "The Redoran councilors have entrusted me with the responsibility of examining those who wish to serve our House. Do you wish to join House Redoran?"
join House Redoran: "Are you sure you want to join House Redoran? Remember that you cannot join any other Great House once you have made an oath to us."
Yes, I want to join.: [Disposition +10.] "So be it. You are now Hireling %PCName in House Redoran. I will inform our trainers. Make use of them. If you truly wish to serve House Redoran, I can give you duties to perform. You may also check with me for advancement."
Hear the rules of House Redoran: "Do not steal from your kin, strike your kin unprovoked, or murder your kin. Do not break your word. Honor your superiors, and do your duty to your House. Respect the teachings of the Tribunal. Defend your House, your People, and your Honor. If you fail in these things, you will be cast out. If you fail twice, you will be cast out with no chance of regaining your honor."
Nevermind.: "Then what can I do for you?"
duties: "I cannot give you duties unless you join House Redoran."

However, she will greet you differently if you choose to speak to her during Redoran Horator:
Nerevarine. False Incarnate. Agent of the Emperor. Outlaw. Unbeliever. House Redoran knows how to deal with outlanders like you."

If you try to join House Redoran during Redoran Hortator, she will refuse you:
join House Redoran: [Disposition -20.] ''"You are a fraud. You hide behind the false prophecies of the 'Incarnate' and the 'Nerevarine,' but Berel Sala, Captain of the watch, says you are an agent in the pay of the Imperial Intelligence Service. You are an outlaw without honor, and cannot hope to be admitted to House Redoran. Go away."  

If you have already joined House Redoran:
join House Redoran: "You have already been adopted by House Redoran, %PCName."''

Drulene Falen: "To get to Drulene's herd, leave west out of Ald'ruhn and take the road towards Gnisis. When you go into the hills, take the left fork to the southwest. Take the right path at the next fork and you should see her guar straight ahead."

Neminda will congratulate you when you return after helping Drulene:
"Have you taken care of those hostile mudcrabs?"

duties: "A Redoran trader has gone missing. I need someone to help find Mathis Dalobar."
Mathis Dalobar: "Mathis Dalobar is a trader who just comes through Ald'ruhn just about every month. He was probably headed towards Maar Gan or Gnisis. Talk to the people in Maar Gan and find out if anyone there knows what happened to him. I'll mark these towns on your map."

Founder's Helm: "Alvis Teri stole a Founder's Helm from the Uveran Ancestral tomb. He boasts of this feat at the Eight Plates Inn in Balmora and wears the Helm openly. Confront him and demand the Helm. Slay him if necessary but do not shame House Redoran by murdering him."
shame House Redoran: "You must not murder Alvis Teri. Threaten him, taunt him, these are allowed. You may even slay him as long as he strikes the first blow. But if you resort to murder, the Hlaalu will brag for years that all Redorans are thugs and murderers."

When talking to Neminda again before leaving, she will say:
Founder's Helm: "Like I said, get the Founder's Helm from Alvis Teri. Do whatever it takes to get the helm back, but do not murder Alvis Teri, for that would shame House Redoran."''

When you return with the Founder's Helm, she says:
''"Did you get the Founder's Helm?"
Founder's Helm: "Good work, %PCName. You have recovered the Founder's Helm and have not brought shame upon House Redoran. Will you give me the Helm now?"

Trouble with Bandits
Neminda will send you to help Drulene again after you've completed Founder's Helm.
duties: "Drulene Falen needs help with her guar herds again. Sounds like trouble with bandits."
trouble with bandits: "It happens, especially further from the law. Usually the bandits are outcast Ashlanders. Go talk to Drulene Falen again. She might be able to tell you where the bandits are."

"Is Drulene Falen still having trouble with bandits?"
trouble with bandits: "Good work, %PCName. I have more duties for you. One of the councilors has been threatened."

trouble with bandits: "You handled the bandits well, %PCName."

Guard Sarethi Manor
Neminda ended Trouble with Bandits with the concerning notion of a threat against a Redoran councilor. Ask her for more duties, and she will say:
duties: "Serjo Athyn Sarethi, a councilor of House Redoran, believes his life is in danger. He is in Sarethi Manor under Skar. I need someone to guard Athyn Sarethi."
Athyn Sarethi: "Quickly, go to Sarethi Manor. From here it is the second door to your right after you get back to Skar. Stay there until Athyn Sarethi gives you other orders or until more guards arrive."

When you return and speak to Neminda after saving Athyn from another attack, she says:
"I heard there was an attack… Is Athyn Sarethi safe?"
Athyn Sarethi: [Disposition +5; 200 Gold has been added to your inventory.] ''"I hope Athyn Sarethi is okay. He and my father were close friends, and the Sarethi family has had enough trouble recently. Guard duties pays in drakes, %PCName. It's not much, but perhaps you can put it to good use."

Afterwards, Neminda will tell you to go get yourself sponsored by one of the Redoran Councilors, and will recommend Athyn if prompted:
"I don't have any more duties for you, %PCName. What brings you here?"
duties: "I don't have any more duties for you. If you want to advance in House Redoran, you will need one of the Councilors to sponsor you. Talk to each of them, and see if any are willing to sponsor an outlander. You might also want to speak with Faral Retheran in Vivec. She may have more duties for you as well."
Athyn Sarethi: "He is a good man and was a close friend of my father. You will find no better sponsor in all of House Redoran."

Dialogue
Background: "My father was a Legionnaire stationed in Ebonheart. When my mother died, I was sent to live with my Uncle, but we didn't get along. I made my way here, and lived with my father for three years until he was killed by the Telvanni. He and Athyn Sarethi were friends, so I was adopted in a sense. I don't miss Hammerfell. I'm working for a just cause. I serve with some of the best warriors in Tamriel. And the Ashlands can have a peculiar beauty..."
Emperor Crab: "This whole area was carved out of the shell of an Emperor Crab. They've all been dead since long before you and I were born."
Mudcrab: "Of course as an outlander like myself you must know very little about mudcrabs. They are small creatures with a hard shell. They live mostly along the coast and they're usually not aggressive... but if they ever get the taste of meat, they become hunters. Some naturalists believe they are related to the Emperor Crab."''
