Baroness Leila Montclair

Baroness Leila Montclair was the wife of the now-vampire Baron Wylon Montclair. She died when her husband tried to cure her illness via the Lightless Remnant, a powerful Ayleid relic found atop The Doomcrag. Instead, it turned her into a bloodfiend and was slain by Count Verandis Ravenwatch.

==Dialogue==
;Dream-Walk Into Darkness
"My dear friend, Verandis. I'm glad you're here. You've always been so good to our family. I ... I never really thanked you for that."
:There's no need to thank me. You're a good friend to me, as well. "Verandis ... after I'm gone. You need to continue to watch over my family. Wylon will need your ... strong, steadying presence more than ever."
::There is a way to avoid this, Leila .... "No, my friend. Your gift isn't the solution. Not for me. I refuse to accept an existence that forces me to watch as my children ... my husband ... everyone I know ... ages before my eyes."
:::Of course, Leila. As you wish.
After having spoken to Reezal-Jul:
"Verandis, you mustn't say anything. Please! I'm sure this will ... this will pass. I just need the stone. Another treatment and I'll be fine."
:Leila, you aren't well. "Just a little dizziness ... a little discomfort. It must be all this activity lately. Verandis, I don't think the stone shard is powerful enough. It helps, but it doesn't last. And now I feel ... empty. I can't explain it."
::We need to tell Wylon about this. "No! You leave him be. He's happy now. I can't stand to see him worried. Sitting beside my bed ... helpless ... consumed with grief. Not again. The stone shard. It's obviously a part of something larger. Could that be the cure we're looking for?"
:::I don't know. Perhaps there's more information in the Ayleid tomes Reezal-Jul has been researching. "Talk to the Argonian. See what he's found out. We need to find the larger relic ... or at least another shard of stone. I hate to ask, but I need you to do this one last favor. For Wylon. For me."
::::Of course, Leila. I'll talk to Reezal-Jul and see what he thinks. "I knew I could count on you, dear friend. Now, I need to compose myself and return to the party. But I think I'll go to sleep early this evening. I'm sure I just need a little more rest."
==Conversations==
;Sick Mother
Count Verandis Ravenwatch: "I must say, it's rather strange seeing you as ... me."
Lleraya Montclair: "Mother ... please. You have to take the medicine. Reezal-Jul can help you!"
Baroness Leilla Montclair: "Oh, sweet daughter, I can't go on like this. I don't want to spend my final days as an experiment. Instead, let me spend them with the ones I love."
Count Verandis Ravenwatch: "Even in retrospect, reliving this is difficult. Her pain, her suffering. She had so much courage."
Baron Wylon Montclair: "There has to be something more we can do. Verandis, can I talk to you for a moment?"
;A Cure
Baron Wylon Montclair: "Three cheers for Verandis! He gave me the means to save my beautiful wife!"
Baroness Leila Montclair: "Yes, to our dear friend, Verandis! How can we ever repay him?"
Gwendis: "He is great, isn't he? And so handsome! But I want to cheer about this wine. By the Divines, this stuff is delicious!"
Count Verandis Ravenwatch: "We were so happy at this moment. We were all together, friends and family, enjoying each other's company. For the final time …."
Baroness Leila Montclair: "Verandis, may I speak to you for a moment? Alone."
Count Verandis Ravenwatch: "I … I don't recall speaking with Leila. Why can't I remember that?"
;The Doomcrag
Baroness Leila Montclair: "We shouldn't have left the guards behind, Wylon. Who knows what else we're going to run into?"
Lleraya Montclair: "There was no choice, Mother. You're getting worse and we can't wait for them."
Gwendis: "I'll stay here and protect the way out. Keep watch in case the guards catch up with us. The rest of you need to keep moving."
Baron Wylon Montclair: "Thank you, Gwendis. At least you retain a sense of honor."
Baroness Leila Montclair: "Wylon, you have to stop blaming Verandis. This wasn't his fault."
;Doomcrag Ritual
Baron Wylon Montclair: "Have no fear, my darling Leila. Soon the light will wash away your pain."
Reezal-Jul: "It's going to work, Baron. The power of this ancient Ayleid remnant ... it's almost overwhelming."
Lleraya: "You're going to be all right, Mother. Just hold on."
Baron Wylon Montclair: "The remnant will make you like new, my love! You'll be reborn!"
Lleraya: "Something's ... happening. I feel ... the power!"
Baroness Leila Montclair: "Wylon! Something feels ... wrong ...."
Baron Wylon Montclair: "Verandis, we need you! We need your power! Quickly! Touch the relic and help us!"
[After Verandis joins]
Baron Wylon Montclair: "Anyamis alata! Malatua latta mitta jorane mori! Vasha anya belda sancre!"
Lleraya: "Father .... what ... what's hapening to us?"
Reezal-Jul: "It's working! It's working! Soon the power will be ours to command!"
Baroness Leila Montclair: "No! What ... what have you done? This isn't me! I ... I never wanted this! Please, Verandis. Help me! Make it stop! I ... I can't stand the pain. End this, Verandis. End this before I ... arrgh!"
Baron Wylon Montclair: "No! Verandis! What did you do to Leila? What did you do? You'll pay for that, vampire! I have the power now. Nothing can stop me from reaching out and snapping ..."
Gwendis: "Verandis? Montclair, no! Come on, Verandis, we need to get out of here!"
