Online:Notes on the Visitor's Guide to the Shambles

Look, that so-called   is a load of   dung! Dylamar wouldn't know the western warrens from   if he blundered into one of  's webs and got served up as a banquet to her pet  s! The entire purpose of that pamphlet is to entice mortals to leave the prominent districts to better appease their Daedric overlords. Let me give you the real story about  .

First, forget about those Skein Row spider demons and Enzir's blood-crazed  . Shaermeta and her   can keep the east side! It's full of spiders now, anyway! Enzir's  , on the other hand, have no sense of loyalty. They abandoned whatever   they once served, right? So how long before they turn on each other? Any cycle now is my guess. And when that happens, the Shambles will totally fall under  ' control. Except for Skein Row. I hate spiders.

Here's how the pamphlet should actually read:

ENTRY WAYS 
You can find doors that lead into the Shambles throughout the northern sections of    , including a major entrance in the  . Remember to carry a full coin purse with you. My gang is less likely to inflict lethal damage upon you if you make a substantial offer of gold or some other valuable currency. We're not too picky.

MARKETS 
The markets located throughout the western warrens are the best markets in the Shambles—and I'm not just saying that because we get a cut of all of their business. We do, but I really do think they're the best.

FARE AND SUSTENANCE 
My brewmaster, Jik, makes a tasty bone-shavings ale, but don't even think about it. She can barely make enough to soothe the Errants' parched throats. And the  , Bowl-Stirrer, really knows how to roast a  ! Again, no roast for you. If you really want something to eat or drink in the Shambles, the guide does make one good suggestion.   is a proper tavern. And there's always someone willing to start a brawl if the place gets too quiet.

LOCAL FLAVOR 
What does this even mean? And  ? He's a cheat who never hands over everything he owes. I need to remember to take care of that. Next time.

SAFETY 
This is the Shambles. There is no safety. If you can't protect yourself, then let us do it for you. Our rates are reasonable, and my gang rarely gets too carried away when they hand out a beating. And forget about  . Their reach doesn't extend to the Shambles. Why should it? We're mostly all mortals out here, and the Stricture doesn't care about mortals.

So, if you come to the Shambles, come with your eyes open and your pockets full. You might leave with them a little lighter, but there really are some nice things to do and see out here.

Online:A Vision of the Twin Citadels

Last night the Lord of Flood and Fire favored me with a glimpse of his realm.

It came in the silent moments before dawn, a dream so vivid that it paralyzed me in my bed. My disembodied   sped across a  . Rivers of molten rock twisted through razor-sharp hills, as a sky of fiery storm clouds churned overhead. Before me rose the dark walls of a mighty citadel. Rings of forbidding stone towers climbed the slope of a burning mountain, guarded by a legion of Daedric warriors.

"What is this place?" I asked in my dream, awed by the vision I beheld.

"You look upon the citadel of  ," a great voice thundered in reply. My dream-self was drawn then through three gates along a path of hot cinders, to the heart of the burning mountain. Here a lake of lava seethed within a huge crater. Seated upon an islet throne, his feet awash in the molten rock,  —the size of a tower himself—awaited me.

Even though I was a mere wisp of spirit in that place, I prostrated myself and groveled before the Mighty Lord. "Command me, O Lord, even though I am but an unworthy worm!" I cried.

Mehrunes Dagon smiled. "Then remember what you see here, worm," he said to me. "Count Ardent Hope's gates, measure the towers, bear witness to the vastness of my legions. When you return to your mortal shell, tell all whom you meet of the strength at my command. I am power, and I am inevitable. Only in service to me can your feeble lives find any meaning. Now come."

Lord Dagon became a cloud of burning cinders and flew up into the sky. I followed, dragged along in his wake, as we left Ardent Hope and its volcano and ascended to a second citadel. This one stood upon a high mountain pass, overlooking Ardent Hope. Here there were no fires, no rivers of lava, only bitter winds scouring the barren rock.

I was drawn on through silent courtyards beneath broken walls and black gates. Here no proud legions stood arrayed for battle—only tormented  s who cowered in the shadows. In the ruin of a great roofless hall, Lord Dagon reappeared, brooding upon a throne of cold black stone.

I dared not speak, but I knew that I must. "What became of this place, O Lord?"

"This is  , twin to Ardent Hope," Mehrunes Dagon replied. "Once I reigned over all my realm from this place. I filled these halls with my servants and the trophies of my countless victories. But then I laid it to waste and destroyed all within."

"But why, Lord Dagon?" I asked, shivering in my terror.

"Because I am Destruction, and it is what I must do." Dagon swept an arm across the empty court. "Remember the ghosts, measure the devastation, bear witness to the finality of my purpose. When you return to your mortal form, tell all whom you meet of what you have seen. By my hand alone shall their ends be given meaning. Now go."

He dismissed my bodiless spirit with a gesture. I awoke screaming in my bed, my eyes seared by what I had seen. I do not know why Lord Dagon chose to grant me—a mere devastator, only nine years in his service—such an honor.

But I will do as my lord commands.

Skriliaa the Guide is a Dremora who can be found randomly on the roads of the Deadlands showing various places to Birer Raram and Zainan.
 
      
Dialogue
She has multiple things to say when first spoken to.
: ''"These two never stop yammering. It's all insistent questions and gasps of awe. I thought Quathynax overreacted when he stuck blades in his ears, but I'm beginning to see the appeal."

: "My hands are quite full with these hapless mortals. If you wish to visit the most thrilling locations in the Deadlands, convince a different Dremora to be your guide."

: "Ah, a convenient mortal. Which sounds more horrifying to you? A visit to the Crumbling Cliffs, or the Pits of Pity? Right. I'll take these two to the Crumbling Cliffs. Yours eyes kind of went wide at the mention of that one."

In either case, your only response is:
:What's going on here?
:"Just my sworn duty. They needed a guide and recent circumstances put me in a situation where I was required to provide that service. They wanted to see the Deadlands. I'm showing them the Deadlands."
:Why were you required to serve as their guide?
:"As a Dremora, I'm bound to a higher order. Some bow to the liege they serve. Others hold nothing higher than their own word. These mortals ... coerced me. I can't deviate from what I agreed to, no matter how badly they try my patience."
:You don't serve a Daedric Prince?
:"I served Flame and Destruction once, but that time is over. I would not exchange my current circumstances for anything. No matter how annoying those circumstances may be."
:Don't all Daedra serve a Daedric Prince?
:"Obviously not. I find it amusing when a mortal attempts to understand the workings of Oblivion. You delayed this journey long enough. I plotted routes to more ... thrilling locations. Locations that should test the limits of my enthusiastic charges."
:Could I join you?
:"Another mortal under my wing? No, I don't think so. Besides, the Spike Pits and the Scamp Breeding Grounds were chosen specifically for these two. So many options to choose from when survival isn't part of the contract.  Now, we must be off!"''

Dialogue

:"Mehrunes Dagon is only one of the Four Corners of the House of Troubles. I-I will remain resolute regardless of his temptations!"

:"May the Tribunal watch over you. As I hope—know!—as I know they watch over me."

:''"Whatever this Daedra shows me, I'll prove to Lord Vivec himself that I am faithful. I just hope the sites we visit aren't too horrific."

Regardless, your only response is:
:What made you decide to visit the Deadlands?
:"I'm—I'm on a pilgrimage. There was some trouble, you see, and—ah, I shan't bore you with the details."
:Your pilgrimage is to explore the Deadlands?
:"Well, where else to submerge myself in the reality of the House of Troubles? I know my faith is strong enough to resist the flames of temptation, despite what those stupid Ordinators may think."
:What's the House of Troubles?
:"That's what the Tribunal calls the bad Daedra. Mehrunes Dagon is but one of the Four Corners, the Princes that constantly test the resolve of the faithful."
:You mentioned Ordinators and the Tribunal. It sounds like you aren't telling me everything.
:"The Tribunal. The three Living Gods of the Dark Elves. And their unreasonable priest-soldiers, the Ordinators. It wasn't my fault! I was ... influenced by the forces of evil. With this pilgrimage, I'll show them all that I'm blameless. You'll see."''

Dialogue

:"Merrunz must be somewhere around here. To think, Zainan is sharing a plane with the Fire-Cat!"

:''"The Fire-Cat's domain! Finally, this one's dream has come true. Its fiery fury does not disappoint. This one nearly singed her fur three times today!"

:"Furious heat! Unbridled chaos! The Ja'Khajiit does not disappoint!"

In any case, your only response is:
:What are you doing in the Deadlands?
:"This one has heard stories of the Daedric Princes her whole life. Zainan could not pass up an opportunity to finally see one, yes? We have not seen Merrunz yet, but Skriliaa promises to get us close."
:Who's Merrunz?
:"You might know him as Mehrunes Dagon. A smoothskin name. Merrunz is his true nature. The fiery kitten of destruction and chaos! Religion has always fascinated this one. When the chance to visit the Deadlands presented itself, Zainan couldn't refuse."
:So you're actually hoping to meet a Daedric Prince?
:"Meet? Well, Zainan would be happy if she only catches a glimpse of the majestic Merrunz. Think of the stories this one can tell her clan back home! But, yes, a glimpse is more than enough to satisfy this one's curiosity."''
