===The Dagger's Edge===
Lord Diel of Daggerfall and his sons are investigating the recent harpy attacks all along the coast. They hired a group of mercenaries called the Daggers to help them with their research, but the Daggers never returned from the Shrieking Scar. In the quest "The Dagger's Edge," Vestige finds out that Lord Diel has orchestrated the Harpy treat to increase his own profit and reputation.

Show: The Dagger's Edge
At the start of the quest:
"Ah, another one. Here to work with the great Lord Diel, no doubt. I'm renowned throughout Glenumbra, you know."
:Never heard of you. "Well, there's no excuse for that! You've certainly heard about the harpy menace that threatens Daggerfall? Of course you have. My sons and I are here to put an end to that threat. I know you want to help. Start by finding my stupid hirelings."
::Hirelings? What hirelings? "The Daggers! They're out gathering … information … about the harpies. Know your enemy and all that. You'll get paid once I have enough to … um … complete my research. Take this Dagger with you. He knows what to do."
:::All right, but …? "Off with you now. Bumnog will help you. Interesting fellow. Always fights fair. Refuses to use weapons against the harpies. Just his fists. Can't imagine that that works out for him, but he's the only Dagger still here, so what do I know?"
::::What are these Daggers you keep mentioning? "Who, not what. The Daggers. A mercenary group out of Daggerfall. They're highly trained and extremely deadly. Or so they tell me. They're also lost! But they do work cheap, which makes them perfect for my purposes."
:::::What do you mean they're lost? "They left hours ago and we haven't heard a word since. Only Bumnog returned, which is why he's available to help you. Why are you still here? Get out there and find the missing Daggers!"
::::So what do you want me to do? "Why do I have to explain these things to you? Just talk to Bumnog. He knows what I hired the Daggers to do. Now stop pestering me and let me enjoy all this nature that my sons keep going on about."
After helping all the Daggers:
"Ah, you're back. Much more reliable than those damn Daggers. I don't see their leader, Gelvin. He didn't come back with you? More gold for the rest of you, I suppose. Now, hand over the eggs, please."
:Here are the eggs, but Gelvin hasn't returned yet? "I believe we already covered that. Now let me have a look at these beauties. Ah, so round and smooth. Well, oval, really. I'll begin studying these eggs right a ... wait a moment."
::What's the matter? "Where's the other egg? I was promised five harpy eggs, not four. Didn't they teach you to count? There will be no deal without five eggs! Five! No more, no less. Imbeciles!"
:::Gelvin has the fifth egg. "Then I suggest you find that bootless lout and get it back. There will be consequences. These are my eggs! Let his sister know that if Gelvin doesn't return, I will have his right hand cut off for stealing from a noble!"
After meeting Alain at the Miltrin's Fishing Cabin:
"Gelvin's sister gave up his location so easily. Now where is that damn thief? And where in the Eight is my damn egg?"
:You're not getting the harpy egg. "What did you say? How dare you! That's my property! You expect to get away with this? I knew I shouldn't have put my trust in a bunch of low-life scum. You'll be in the hands of the Daggerfall guard by the end of day!"
::Or they could learn how this harpy threat really started. "You think the guard would believe you? Some street rats who lay a claim against a well-respected noble? You're dumber than you look. The guard will chuckle as they lead you to the dungeons. Or maybe we'll just end this right now."
:::I wouldn't do that if I were you. "What impertinence! You really do get under my skin. Enough of this. No one will miss you or those street rats. Guards! Deal with these thieves!"

Granette Feldrin: "You can't keep them like this, Lord Diel. They're in pain!"
Lord Alain Diel: "I can do what I like with them. After all, I'm the one investigating why these birdies have become so very, very angry."
Granette Feldrin: "Argh! When Gelvin gets back, he won't stand for this!"
