Show: The Lion Guard's Stand
"I hate meeting new people when I'm not at my best. Is my hair all right? Are my robes on straight?"
:Commander Ales sent me to help you. "Commander Ales? A good man and a good soldier. But how did you find me?"
::You left your journal at the camp. "I did? I knew I left my journal somewhere. But I haven't told you the most exciting news! I found the Midnight Talisman. With it, we can punch a hole in Angof's barrier at Cath Bedraud. We just need to recharge the beautiful little relic."
:::What's the Midnight Talisman? "Do you like the name? I thought it up myself. Sounds simply ominous, doesn't it? Anyhow, it's a Daedric relic used to manipulate Oblivion portals. If you know how, you can use the talisman to get past arcane barriers. And I know how."
::::So this talisman is the key to defeating Angof? "The talisman would be the key to defeating Angof—if its power wasn't depleted. We need to recharge the talisman. Then we'll finally get our chance to deal with Angof and take the battle to him!"
Show: Mastering the Talisman
At the start of the quest:
"Will you help me recharge the Midnight Talisman?"
:Of course. What do I need to do? "I have a ritual that can recharge the talisman and restore its power. There's an ancient Wyrd site on the beach near here. We can use that as the focus for the ritual."
::You're injured. Can you travel? "I just need to rest for a bit. Then I can get myself there and still have enough power for the ritual. Here, take the talisman and head on down. I'll meet you there."
:::I'll meet you at the ritual site.
At the wyrd site:
"You made it. No zombie bites or anything."
:Can you explain what we're about to do? "I found an inscription in the crypt. It described the relic in remarkable detail. Apparently, the talisman can draw energy from the land itself. Ancient magic saturates this site. It's the perfect place to perform the ritual of recharging!"
::So what happens next? "I perform the ritual. You stand there and look heroic. Simple? Are you ready?"
:::I'm ready.
After recharging the amulet:
"That didn't seem right."
:What happened? Are you all right? "The ritual worked, but something ... well, something awful looked at me while I was channeling energy into the relic. I think there's something trapped inside the talisman."
::There's something inside the talisman? "Whatever's inside the relic, it's certainly not friendly. We can try to dispel it using the Wyrd revelation stone in the circle just up the beach. Put the talisman on the stone and kill whatever emerges. That will do the trick."
:::I'll kill it. What about you? "Just getting down here tired me out more than it should have. I know you can handle whatever's inside the talisman. I'm pretty sure it's just a banekin or a lesser scamp."
::::Put the talisman on the stone and kill what comes out. Got it.
After killing Kynreeve Erunas:
"Julianos! I was wrong about how powerful the thing in the talisman was. My apologies."
:It was a Dremora. Is the talisman all right? "Dremora? Oh, those are bad. Sorry. At least it's gone and we can use the talisman now. I have enough energy to open a portal for both of us to use. Are you ready to return to the redoubt?"
::I'm ready.
Back at the redoubt:
"This is it. All our work has led to this."
:What's the next step? "We're ready to confront Angof and destroy him. Thanks to you, he won't be able to hide from us now. I told Sir Lanis what happened out there. You should introduce yourself when you get a chance."
Show: Mists of Corruption
After collecting the amulets:
"These soldiers won't last much longer and I don't have enough magic to extend my ward to protect them. Darien told me about the amulets. Did you get them? With any luck, they'll work like the talisman you're carrying."
:Here are the amulets I acquired. "Perfect. Thank you. I'll put them on the wounded knights and Darien can lead them to safety. Do you have any more? I might be able to use them to clear the mist."
::Yes, I collected a few extra amulets. "If I merge them and cast an amplification spell, I can increase the size of my protection ward. If I can get to a central point and hold the spell long enough, our troops will be able to get in. You just need to defend me while I do it."
:::Consider yourself defended. "Good. Meet me at the center of the graveyard. When Angof notices what I'm doing, he's bound to send someone to stop me. If they interrupt me while I'm casting, the spell will fail. And that won't be good."
At the center of the graveyard:
"Are you ready to begin? Remember that I can't defend myself while I'm performing the ritual. You have to protect me."
:Let's begin. "Stay close. You need to keep them off me until I finish."
After clearing the mist:
"That takes care of the mist, but who knows for how long? Let's not waste this opportunity. The time to strike at Angof has arrived."
:What's next? "This next bit is critical. I've seen what you can do, so I know you're up to it. Besides, we'd never have made it this far if not for you."
Show: The Labyrinth
At the start of the quest:
"You won't be able to just walk into Angof's parlor and challenge him to a duel. He has minions. His kind always has minions. But don't let that stop you. We've come too far not to try to finish this."
:Aren't you coming with me? "I'll follow you as soon as the soldiers get here. Oh! Even better! Take this binding stone. Find a secure location inside the catacombs and use it to call me to you. I'll even bring some of the soldiers with me!"
::How will I know if a location is secure? "Some of the dead were protected by wards designed to prevent . Look for a tomb with these wards and use the stone there. That should be safe enough for my purposes."
:::I'll summon you once I locate one of the wards.
After summoning her:
"Good, you found the perfect spot for ... Wait, where are the others?"
:Others? "Yes. Sir Lanis and his knights volunteered to come with me, but I only see Dame Alexine. There must have been too many of us for the binding stone. This isn't good. The other knights could have been scattered throughout the crypts."
::I'll look for the missing knights on my way to face Angof. "Good. But listen—there's only one way to get out of these crypts. You have to kill Angof. I don't have any other way to deal with his various protections and defenses now that I'm down here. He dies or we never leave. Those are our choices."
Show: Angof the Gravesinger
"Well, that was fun, wasn't it? All right, maybe fun isn't the right word. But you were glorious! Angof is finally dead. We can't thank you enough for what you've done."
:Where are the others? "The others have all collapsed in their tents. They're exhausted! But I wanted to welcome you back. And Sir Lanis wants to talk to you. He's telling the Lion Guard commander what happened."
::What does Sir Lanis want? "Who knows? Maybe he wants to give you a medal or something. Well, go on. We'll be fine. I promise."
Show: The Impervious Vault
In the Mages Guild Tower:
"Hey—I know you! We killed that crazy old necromancer together—Angof. Remember that midnight talisman we used to break into Cath Bedraud? I still can't believe that worked. So I don't suppose you need help with something fun like that?"
:King Fahara'jad needs help to break into the Impervious Vault. "Are you joking? I've been wanting to take a crack at that place ever since I heard the name. Wait a minute—did Simone put you up to this? Why would the king want to break into the vault?"
::It's true. Necromancers are trying to steal the Ansei Wards. "Necromancers? Ansei Wards? Fascinating! Count me in. So we just need to break the seal? Hmm … I know. Let's try this. Go to the bazaar and get Flame Stalk from Lucienne and Worm's Head Cap from Neenebah. Then meet me at the vault. This … could work."
At the vault:
"Aha! Perfect! Say though, you didn't happen to pick up a few giant's toes while you were at the bazaar, did you?"
:No, but I have the other reagents you asked for. "That's fine. Giant's toes could make a bigger gap in the seal, but they're probably hard to find here anyways. These should do the trick … I think. Hmm. Worm's Head on top of the Flame Stalk or Flame Stalk inside the Worm's Head?"
::Are you sure you know what you're doing? "Oh. Absolutely. It's only one person going in anyways. Without the giant's toes, I can only open the seals so far. Of course, Fahara'jad thinks that one person should be you. He wants to talk to you first though. Go on up."
:::Aren't you going to open the vault? "Sure. I just need a minute to think about exactly how to word this â€¦ hmm. Gada, Gada, Tobr'a … Tobr'a Tobr'a Gada …? Go on. I'll be right up."
Show: Kingdom in Mourning
"Did I overhear correctly? Fahara'jad asked you to go to Evermore? Sounds like that place is shaping up to be a real trouble spot. I wish I could come along, but the guild's got me doing something else. Probably not nearly so interesting."
:Could you open a portal to Evermore for me? "Of course. That's a big city, though. Wouldn't want to drop you on top of some unfortunate merchant. How about the bridge right outside the gates …? Hmm. I've heard the Reachmen are "at the gates," but that could just be a figure of speech …?"
::Sure. I'll take my chances. "One portal to the gates of Evermore right here for you. Good luck. From what I've heard, you're going to need it."
:::You heard the Reachmen are at the city gates? "Well, that's what Simone said, but she's a shameless gossip. Furthermore, she might have meant it as a figure of speech. Surely the Reachmen aren't literally "at the gates" At least I hope they're not, for Evermore's sake … and for yours."
:::Why not portal me into the Mages Guild in Evermore? "Well … it's a long story. I was a novice, and then there was this herd of swine. I meant to send them to Northglen, just outside Evermore, but I got a syllable wrong, and …. Anyway, I'm not allowed to open a portal into the Guild there anymore."
Show: The Parley
In Evermore:
"Surprised to see me? Sounds like I already missed some interesting experiences. A Hagraven controlling crows? I want to see that! This business has potential too. Of course, our part only comes into play if there's trouble. Let's hope there isn't."
:What is our part in this? "We'll be in position above the parley site. If the Imperials try anything, we'll make sure they regret it. The three of us can cast spells to rain down fire, ice, lightning—we have it all. You'll just need to tell us where to target our spells."
::All right. I can handle that. "I hope so, because we're going to spread out and each cover a different area. If anyone comes, we'll call it out, but we'll wait for you to direct me."
:::Sounds like a good plan. "Whenever you're ready to go to the parley site, let me know and I'll open a portal. Let's hope that creating portals is the only magic we need today."
::::I'm ready to go right now. "Excellent. I'm going to open one portal directly to the parley site for the queen and the Fighters Guild members, and another to take us above. Actually, I guess we should go first. Now, which portal was which? Oh! I remember. Here we go."
:::::I'll go through the portal as soon as you open it. "Give me a moment here. It takes a lot of energy to open a portal over this distance. That should do it. Enter when ready. We'll be right behind you."
Before leaving the castle:
"Whenever you're ready to go to the parley site, let me know and I'll open a portal. Let's hope that creating portals is the only magic we need today."
:I'm ready to go right now. "Excellent. I'm going to open one portal directly to the parley site for the queen and the Fighters Guild members, and another to take us above. Actually, I guess we should go first. Now, which portal was which? Oh! I remember. Here we go."

"I never expected to be standing in Coldharbour, helping command a force of elite mages. It's every little girl's dream come true! I'm just glad you're here. We never would have gotten this far without you."
Show: The Final Assault
At the base camp:
"The Mages Guild stands ready to do our part for this effort. I just wish I had as much confidence as Vanus Galerion. We're facing some overwhelming odds here, you know."
:Vanus said you would brief me on the plan. "Molag Bal is using tactics similar to what we faced in the Chasm. He's set up a portal to move his troops around quickly. As you head in to open the Labyrinth, we need you to close that portal"
::Why not send a full force? "King Dynar insists that the initial strike be fast and precise. He doesn't want the entire army getting in your way or causing Molag Bal to respond in kind. You've proven yourself time and time again. We have faith you can do this."
:::Do you want to accompany me on this mission? "Me? Really? I'd be honored. But I think you'd be better served with a fighter type right now. I'm sure we'll meet up somewhere along the way, though. I won't let the people of Nirn down."
::::I hope to see you in there. "After you disable the reinforcement portal, I'll try to catch up with you before you enter the Labyrinth. We'll stop this Planemeld together. We have to."
At the Labyrinth's entrance:
"This room is so big. I never expected the Prince to be much of a reader. But all these books! Imagine the wealth of knowledge they contain.I could spend years in here. If we didn't have more important matters to deal with, I mean."
:What's going on in here? "We can't get out of this room. The door on the other side won't budge, and we haven't been able to figure out the mechanism yet."
::How can I help? "Search around the room, I guess. Who knows? You might find something useful among the dark tomes and old fables about lusty Argonians.But I've never seen a mechanism like this before. It's rather fascinating."
After losing the other mages guild members:
"I can't imagine we have too much farther to go. We just need to cross this region and we'll find the planar vortex in no time."
:I'm ready when you are. "Stick close to me. There's probably something waiting in here that wants to kill us."
In the Planar Vortex:
"I imagined that this was going to be a grand adventure, but I never pictured the horror of all this.So many of our friends and companions have died, and this damn vortex still threatens our world. I think it's time we shut it down. Permanently."
:You sound determined. "Damn right I'm determined! And more than a little irritated at all this! Come on, hero, let's show Molag Bal how it's done!Then I can get back to the ordinary craziness I usually get to deal with."
::Do you really think we can win? "I think we can. I hope we can. All I know is we've come too far to give up now.I ... I just worry that we still have a lot of fight left to go. I think more of us are going to die before this is all over."
Show: Anvil
In Anvil
"Oh, hello there! We haven't spoken since Darien ... well, since that business in Coldharbour. Have we? I'm just a bit discombobulated. My mind's been somewhere else."
:Gabrielle? What brings you to Anvil? "Darien, mostly. It's always Darien who ends up causing problems, isn't it? How long has it been since we defeated Molag Bal and saved Tamriel? Sorry, time's a bit fuzzy at the moment. I've had more than a few late nights."
::What does you being here have to do with Darien Gautier? "I'm searching for a way to retrieve souls lost in Coldharbour or elsewhere. I'm not even sure where to start looking, but I need to start somewhere, right? Darien's out there. I just have to find him, though that's easier said than done."
:::You think Darien's lost in Coldharbour? "Well, Darien was with us at the end, wasn't he? Facing down Molag Bal. He didn't come back, and he didn't die, so logic suggest he returned when we did. He simply came back somewhere else. I just have to figure out where. Then I can bring him back."
::::Do you have any ideas? "Dozens. Hundreds! The problem with having so many ideas is that it's like those books behind me. They just pile up, and you can't possibly read all of them. So you read what you can and try to focus. This might be why I'm not getting enough sleep."
:::::I may be able to help. I recently found a note that might be from Darien. "You what? A note from Darien? How is that possible? What did it say?"
::::::The note mentioned The Colored Rooms. I think Darien was calling for help. "The Colored Rooms are Meridia's realm! Oh, that makes so much sense. Meridia was with us at the end, fought Molag Bal at our sides. If Darien didn't end up in Coldharbour... Yes, this helps. This helps a great deal. Now I know where to look for him!"
:Are you here on behalf of the Mages Guild? "No, not really. This is more like independent research. Do you know every Mages Guild in Tamriel has differend books in its library? You'd think we'd standartize, or at least keep a lexicon. Also, they could really use some more bookshelves."
::Do you plan to be here long? "Perhaps. My sister, Sara, was supposed to meet me here, but she hasn't shown up yet. She's a week late, which is unusual for her. So organized. I hope she hasn't run into any trouble. This guild sent her to Craglorn. Not the most pleasant of places."
Show: The Antiquarian's Art
"Oh, it's you! What a welcome surprise! By Mara, that business with Angof feels like lifetimes ago. I'm glad to see you're still in good health. So, Verita gave you an Antiquarian's Eye, eh? You mean to join the Antiquarian Circle?"
:What have you been doing since we last met? "Ugh. Searching, mostly. I couldn't rest knowing Darien was still out there. Trapped in the Colored Rooms. I want to help him. Speak to him somehow, you know? But it's just not that simple."
*If you have completed the Summerset main quests:
::I found him, Gabrielle. He fought beside me on the Summerset Isles. "Darien returned? Then where is he now? Why hasn't he contacted me?"
:::Meridia still has a hold on him. He disappeared again. "But he was here. He was here and I missed my chance to ... When you say he disappeared, what do you mean? Did he say anything?"
::::He wanted us to know how much we meant to him. And he hopes we won't forget him. "So, he doesn't think he's coming back again? So much for Darien the plucky optimist. The important part is that we know escape is possible. I'm not giving up on him. We'll find a way to get him back for good, I know it. So, chins up, right? Right."
*If the Summerset main quests were not completed:
:::You think these antiquities can help you find Darien? "Maybe. To be honest, it started with Ayleid research. I had a theory that Ayleid relics from Meridia-aligned tribes might grant me access to the Colored Rooms—or at least let me contact someone held there. This led me to the Antiquarians Eye."
::::But the Eye can't find people, can it? "No. Just objects. Fortunately, it's allowed me to continue my research into the Ayleids. It's even given me a few other routes of inquiry. Meridia's shrine on Mount Kilkreath, for instance. I've got to believe something out there can help us."
:::::I'll keep searching too. "Thanks. We'll find him. It's just a matter of time."
:Yes. Verita said you can use it better than anyone. "Wow, really? That's uncharacteristically gracious of her. Huh. Well anyway, let's get started. It all begins with concentration. The Eye wants to show you what you seek. So, clear your thoughts and conjure up a picture of the relic in your mind."
::So I need to have a relic in mind. Then what? "The exciting part! Gaze into the Eye and focus on the facets in the glass. Take a breath and try to unify the symbols into a single pattern. Eventually, you'll stop looking at the lens and start looking through it. Why don't we just give it a try?"
:::All right. I'll try using the Antiquarian's Eye.
After the excavation:
"There you have it! You're a proper antiquarian now. Seems you have quite a knack for it, too! Just keep practicing with the Antiquarian's Eye and master those digging techniques. I'm confident you'll be recovering priceless relics in no time!"
:What should I do next? "I'd report back to Verita and let her know you successfully extracted your first antiquity. Don't expect too much in the way of praise, but trust me, she'll be ecstatic. Once you've checked in, start looking for relics! No time like the present, eh?"
::Could you remind me how the Antiquarian's Eye works? "Of course! We use the Antiquarian's Eye to scry for antiquities hidden all over Tamriel. Any time you want to search for one of these treasures, just open your Antiquities Codex, and select the object you'd like to find."
:::And once I select an antiquity to search for? "Then the fun begins! You'll notice symbols swimming in the facets of the Eye's lens. Concentrate, and try to merge as many of the symbols as possible. If you reach the Eye's foci, you'll get a glimpse of the antiquity's possible resting places."
::::There can be more than one location? "Indeed. If you achieve perfect focus, you might narrow it down to a single dig site. If you don't reach all of the eye's foci, you will wind up with several possible locations. Luckily, you can always try again! It's all a matter of practice."
:: "Certainly. You should have a small array of tools at your disposal—some for removing large helpings of dirt, and others for more precise excavation."
:::All right. How will I know which tool to use? "That's the trick, isn't it? You'll notice subtle differences in the composition of the soil. To the layman, these differences of color and texture might appear random. But with practice, you'll begin to notice patterns."
::::Patterns? "Well, maybe not patterns in the formal sense, but shapes that align with the object you're excavating. These shapes can guide your efforts. Just remember to be careful! These are priceless antiquities we're digging up, not turnips."
:::::What can happen if I'm not careful? "You might damage the antiquity, or collapse the dig site entirely—reburying everything you tried to recover. It happens to all of us eventually. The best we can do is stay cautious. And also sober. Some of the locals struggle with that."

Nalia: "Well, then, you have our thanks. I'm not sure we could have gone on without ... without Vanus ..."
Vanus Galerion: "Cheer up, dear Nalia. I'm here now. But our mission isn't finished. We have to destroy the planar vortex and end the Planemeld."
Manis Dral: "Do you have a plan, old friend?"
Vanus Galerion: "I know what we need to do, I'm just not sure how we go about doing it. We need to discuss this with the Fighters Guild. We need a council of war."
At the war council:
Laloriaran Dynar: "Attention, please! I have called you all here because the moment of destiny fast approaches.
The Great Shackle has been destroyed, but not before a planar vortex was established. We must destroy this vortex before it sucks the very essences of Nirn into Coldharbour.
The Fighters Guild shall deal with the Chasm's defenders, but blades have little power against magic."
Vanus Galerion: "And that's where my mages come in.
My scouts report that some kind of magical fixtures block access to the path across the Chasm. Mages there already work on a way to overcome these fixtures, and we are prepared to lend our strength when the main forces arrive."
Sergeant Kamu: "A sound plan. Plays to our unique strengths. But this one wonders, what if the mages can't overcome Molag Bal's magic?"
Vanus Galerion: "What a ridiculous question! Of course my mages can overcome this magic!"
Cadwell: "Ah, magic! The solution to all life's problems. I love magic! It's so... magical."
Laloriaran Dynar: "I have absolute confidence in Vanus and his mages."
Gabrielle Benele: "Thank you, your lordship. But to be honest with you, I'm not feeling as confident as Vanus about this."
Laloriaran Dynar: "We shall fight with all our strength. There is no other option. Lives will be lost, but hopefully a world will be saved.
Know that the Chasm is only the first stage of this battle. The planar vortex abides within the very heart of Molag Bal's lair."
Darien Gautier: "Oh, this just gets better and better!"
Gabrielle Benele: "Darien! Mind your tongue!"
Laloriaran Dynar: "Darien only seeks to lighten a tense situation. Still, we have to try. To do nothing is to doom Tamriel to certain destruction."
Darien Gautier: "Well, when you put it that way, there are a lot of lovely ladies that need to be saved..."
Vanus Galerion "Yes, well, be that as it may, we launch our assault on the Chasm immediately. The King needs to talk to the champion and I must discuss some final details with the mages. The rest of you have your own preparations to see to, I'm sure."

Gabrielle Benele: "Darien ..."
King Laloriaran Dynar:No one else dies today. That's an order. Come on, let's go set the light in place."''
During the final battle:

*"Good! Looks like everyone ended up in the right place. Let's get to our positions." –At the parley site.
*"The queen should be here any moment ... I hope, at least."
*"Fried fire salts! They're coming all right. Don't forget, we're looking to you to direct our spells. Don't worry about targeting over our allies. I promise, we won't fry the queen. Everyone—call them out when you see them!" –During the Seventh Legion's assault.
*"Imperials coming from that door to the south!"
*"More from the south! Let's get them!"
*"They just keep coming! Another group from the south!"
*"That can't be the last of them! It's a break through. I'll open a portal to get us down to the queen!"
*"My magicka is almost depleted. It's going to take all I've got to open a portal back to the palace. Be ready!"
*"The portal to Evermore ... go, Your Majesty, go!" –When the she opens a portal back to the castle.
*"My personal project ... I'm going to figure out how to open two portals at once." –After escaping the Nchu Duabthar Threshold.
Show: The Final Assault
*"Come on! We're almost there!" –At the bridge after the dark room.
*"A one-way door. Looks like we can only go forward from here. I hope the others are all right." –After losing the other mages guild members.
*"There has to be a way to get out of here ... wait a moment ... something bad is about to happen ..." –In the room with the statues coming to life.
*"Come on! We need to find a way out of here." –In the room with the statues coming to life.
*"I need to get this door open. Hold them off while I work on this!" –After finding the door out of the statue room.
*"The door's finally open! Let's go!" –After opening the door out of the statue room.
*"Darien! Get back here! Darien!" –When using Meridia's light to destroy the Planar Vortex.
Show: Anvil
*"Nothing."
*"That's not helpful."
*"And again."
*"That doesn't make sense."
*"Useless."
*"Idiots."
*"Who put that in there?"
*"Well, that's discouraging."
*"Not helpful."
*"Really? Ugh."
Show: The Antiquarian's Art
*"If only I could master it. Maybe then I could find him." –When approaching.
*"Ah, you must be the Antiquarian Circle's most recent addition, eh? Greetings! Sorry for the mess. I'll tidy up down here, you know ... eventually. But I digress! Verita wants me to teach you to use the Antiquarian's Eye, yes?" –If meeting for the first time.
*"Don't fret. I mean, sure, it's not as if we're learning to boil rice down here. But someone with your innate talents should take to the process quite well. And like most things, you'll only improve with practice!" –Before scrying.
*"Well done. Now, fix your eyes on the center and the corners of the lens, then turn your focus inward toward the facets in the glass. Concentrate, and the facets should merge." –During scrying.
*"Unifying the lens into a single pattern will perfectly attune the Eye, but you only need to reach the foci to gain a rough idea of the object's location. If you lose your focus, just try again."
*"Good! Now, we just need to make our way to the location the Eye provided. I'll meet you in the courtyard!" –After scrying.
*"Looks like this is the spot. Time to excavate the antiquity!" –In the courtyard.
*"Time to get your hands dirty! The Eye can show you where to find an antiquity, but digging it up is more of a do it yourself affair. Just take your time. Rushing the excavation can destabilize the site, and that wouldn't do at all!" –Before excavating.
*"Remember to move cautiously. Use the right tool for the right level of excavation, and don't rush yourself!" –During the excavation.
* "Even careful digging can result in an unsteady dig site. So, be mindful of its stability!"
*"And there we are! Expertly done!" –After the successfull excavation.
*"You should head back inside and speak to Verita. I'm sure she's eager to get you out into the field.
I'll catch up with you later, all right?" –Before returning to Verita.
