Valessea will craft portals to send Lady Arabelle and Jakarn on their way to deliver the medallions.

==Dialogue==
;Ascending Doubt
When first meeting her:
"I didn't think anyone would find me in here. Least of all Jakarn. But I am thankful to you both. The invitation medallions! Jakarn was supposed to pick them up for Lady Arabelle, but the Ascendant Order stole them. We have to get them back!"
:Tell me what happened. "I just finished the invitation medallions for Lady Arabelle when the Ascendant Order burst into my workshop! They kidnapped me, took the medallions, tied me up, and left me here. They never even asked any questions. I don't understand it."
::Where did they take the medallions? "I don't know for sure, but the group split up when we arrived. A few dragged me in here while the others went off deeper into the cave. They must have taken the medallions that way! There are five medallions total. Please, you must find them."
:::I'll find the medallions. "Give me a moment and I'll help you look for the medallions. It's extremely important that we get them back. Those Ascendant Order thugs must have taken them further into the cave."
::::Can you tell me what these medallions are for? "I'm not really supposed to say. I'd rather let Lady Arabelle give you the details. What I can tell you is that the medallions are invitations—I enchanted them to allow the wearers entry to a secret location at Lady Arabelle's request."
:::::Do you know why the Ascendant Order wants them? "No. They barely acknowledged my presence, despite the fact that they kidnapped me! And believe me, I was persistent! I don't know how they found out about the medallions in the first place, but their Ascendant Champion seemed very well informed."
::::::Do you know anything about the Ascendant Champion? "Just that she was clearly in charge of this operation. All of the so-called knights that manhandled me acquiesced to her every command. She went off deeper into the cave with the group that I presume took the medallions."
::::How do you know Jakarn? "We met a couple of times. He wouldn't have been memorable at all if he had not been so determined to get my attention. His advances were harmless, of course, but quite persistent. Still, I'm not sad to see him. I'm grateful for the rescue."
:::::He thinks you're smitten with him. "Does he now? I'm not surprised. Jakarn is the kind of person who thinks everyone is enchanted by every breath he takes. And I'm sure some are. I'm just not one of them. He's amusing, at least. Just shy of insufferable."
After finding the Ascendant Champion's Orders:
"Ugh, I can't wait to get out of this place. The Ascendant Order has a lot to answer for. Please tell me you found the medallions."
:No, but I did find this scroll. "Let me see. There's that Ascendant Champion again. Lady Arabelle will want to hear about this. But I know this place, Sareloth Grotto."
::Where is Sareloth Grotto? "It's in Vvardenfell, but they neglected to say exactly where inside the grotto they took the medallions. Hmm. I think I have something that may help with that. Here. Take this shell."
:::How will a shell help me find the medallions? "It's not just a shell. I enchanted it with the same magic I used on the medallions. If you focus on the shell, the medallions will glow for a short time. Here, I'll mark the grotto on your map. And the boats mentioned in the scroll should be nearby."
::::I'll head to Sareloth Grotto and use the shell to find the medallions.
;A King's Retreat
After Arch-Magister Delric's death:
"Arch-Magister Delric! He's … dead! He just put the medallion around his neck and it jolted him with arcane energy! How could this happen? My work was perfectly safe. You don't think—oh, no. Quick, give me the Fighters Guild medallion."
:Here's the Fighters Guild Medallion, Valessea. "I should have examined the medallions more closely after you recovered them. Someone has altered the enchantment. Trapped them to release a killing spell when worn. It had to be the Ascendant Order. And they left them for you to find—oh no!"
::What are you thinking, Valessea? "Don't you see? The Ascendant Order altered the medallions. They wanted us to recover them. And now Jakarn and Lady Arabelle are on their way to deliver them. They must be stopped before the other medallions are activated and the delegates are killed!"
:::What do you need me to do? "Take this medallion and place it on my worktable in the camp. I'll create a dispelling powder that you can use to eliminate the danger and return the medallions to their original state. Meanwhile, I'll gather Delric's so I can cleanse it as well."
After she creates the dispelling powder:
"That powder will do the job. Just sprinkle a pinch over each of the alliance medallions and it will return them to their original state. Only the protective magic of the invitations will remain."
:What do you need me to do? "This portal will take you to Windhelm. Find Jakarn and use the powder on the medallions before anyone else is killed!"
::Do you know where Jakarn was going first? "Yes. My portal sent him to Windhelm. To deliver the Ebonheart Pact's invitation medallion to Jorunn the Skald-King. He's probably on his way to the Palace of Kings right now. Take the pouch of powder from the table and I'll open a portal for you."
After speaking with Jakarn:
"Good, I'm glad I found you. Something's wrong. The Ascendant Order attacked me! I managed to fight them off, but now I can't contact Lady Arabelle. I think she's in danger and she still doesn't know about the altered medallion she's carrying."
:Why do you think Lady Arabelle is in danger? "We have a way to stay in contact, but she isn't answering my sendings. I was able to trace the magic of my medallion and it's headed toward an island off the coast of Daggerfall. Somehow, the Ascendant Order realized that we dispelled their magic."
::Why do you think they know we restored some of the medallions? "Because they came after me just before I delivered the restored medallion to the Fighters Guild. I think they may also be after Lady Arabelle! And I can't seem to open a portal to her location. That's very worrying to me."
:::Tell me where to find Lady Arabelle and the medallion. "Sword's Rest is an island off the coast of Daggerfall. High King Emeric uses it as a retreat. It makes perfect sense for her to meet him there. I need you and Jakarn to find a ship on the Skywatch docks and get to Sword's Rest as quick as you can!"

;A King's Retreat
Once Arch-Magister Delric arrives:
Guild Scholar Valessea: "I'll create portals for you and Jakarn, Lady Arabelle."
Lady Arabelle: "Good luck, everyone. Remember, the future of Tamriel is at stake."
When Delric puts on the medallion:
Arch-Magister Delric: "Let me just slip this on and—aagh!"
Guild Scholar Valessea: "Arch-Magister!"
After finding Jakarn:
Guild Scholar Valessea: "My friends, I need your help."
Seneschal Nomaadhel: "A projection? What is the meaning of this?"
