===The Missing Prophecy===
When first meeting her:
"Ah, right on time. I'm joking, of course. Honestly, I feared you wouldn't come. Divination and prophecy yield few certainties. Still, this vision was clearer than most. You and I. This room. The scent of ale and woodsmoke. Yes, this was meant to be."
:You can see the future? "I'm afraid it's not as easy as that. I see a tangle of futures—a swirling mass of action and consequence. Every now and again, though, a specific moment strikes like a thunderbolt. Moments like this. Some dark entity stalks the oracles of Azura."
::Oracles of Azura? "Yes. Servants of the Twilight Queen. My friends and I decipher visions of the future for other votaries of Azura. Unfortunately, something is abducting us one by one. Bring this crystal to Pariah Abbey. Our Rose Mother will tell you the rest."
:::Very well. I'll seek out Azura. "I do hope you'll hurry to Pariah Abbey. I see the other oracles, my friends, languishing in chains. A prison that hurtles through space and time—filled with Daedra and choking steam. Ugh. Gives me vertigo just thinking about it."
::::How often do you see this tangle of futures? "All the time. Makes dinner dates interesting, I can tell you. One moment we're speaking about the consistency of the soup, the next I'm fumbling with my spoon, rambling about talking candlesticks and trees made of blood."
:::::How's that go over with your dinner companions? "Ha! Haven't you a cheek. If you must know, it goes poorly. As I'm sure you can guess, the gentlemen rarely call on me a second time."
::::::How did you gain this power? Did Azura give it to you? "I'm not sure. My parents thought me mad. Abandoned me on the streets of Wayrest at the tender age of eight. Mercifully, the abbot of Pariah Abbey discovered my gifts and introduced me to the Twilight Queen. I achieved clarity. I have Azura to thank."
::::You said other oracles were abducted? "Two. Kanzin and Muz-Shah. Both powerful soothsayers in their own right. Kanzin vanished a week ago, pruning his sugar canes. His fellow votaries told me that he showed no signs of distress. He simply walked out into the field and never came back."
:::::And Muz-Shah? "Muz-Shah, an Argonian, disappeared just two days ago. He tends Azura's shrine in Black Marsh. It's a quiet affair with a simple shrine and very few acolytes. He went out to light votary candles near the shrine and never returned."
::::::And you're certain they were abducted? "Beyond certain. I heard their cries—still hear them, in fact. These abductions stink of Daedric plotting. Rival Princes conspire against my lady constantly. One of them seeks to blind her by snatching up her oracles. Perhaps more than one."
::::How do you know Azura will speak to me? "Because you're anointed by fate. Or something close to fate. I stopped arguing the specifics years ago. The Queen of Dawn and Dusk needs your help. Trust me, Azura's desires are hard to miss. She is … insistent. She'll speak to you, believe me."
After gathering the Void Essence:
"Azura's champion returns! I saw you in my visions. You stood atop a mound of corpses, destroying Daedra by the hundreds. It was … cathartic. That sounds horrible. Let's just say it was a welcome distraction from what else I've seen."
:Did you find the missing oracles? "At long last, yes. I gazed through an ocean of screams and … well, I won't frighten you with the particulars. Suffice it to say that I saw many terrible things, but I think I've located the other oracles."
::Where should I start looking? "My first visions were of … wait. What's that?"
:::Rhea?
After reading Tommy Bones's Journal:
"Seems this "Tommy Bones" fellow was duped by a Daedra named Dyzera. I've seen her before. Lurking in the shadows of my visions, just out of focus. She must have put a hex on these "gifts." Cursed treasures … the bane of all thieves."
:So what now? "Dyzera must lead this wretched band of conspirators. The abductions, the Void Keys, the dead bandits—all her design. We know who she is, now it's just a matter of finding her. Perhaps we can bait her. Reacquiring these "gifts" might do the trick."
::How would that work? "Tamriel doesn't suffer curses like this for long. Daedric hexes are too unstable. Nirn rejects them. Putting all three items in one place will shake the veil like moths in a spider-web. With any luck, Dyzera will come to investigate."
:::All right, I'll gather these cursed items. What will you do in the meantime? "Kanzin, Muz-Shah, and I will gather here to prepare a gazing rite—a collaborative vision. If you manage to lure Dyzera out, we might catch of glimpse of what, or who, is driving her."
After the vision (posessed by Azura):
"Rejoice, champion. You now speak to Azura, Queen of Dusk and Dawn."
:What have you done to Rhea?"I glorify her body and make a vessel of her mind. Do not trouble yourself. She will return, in time. Your true concern is these visions. My oracles perceive a holocaust, child. A Daedric storm the likes of which your mortal world has never seen."
::What should we do?"We wait... and listen. Patience. A difficult concept for mortals, I know. Such short, beautiful, brutish lives you lead. For now, Dyzera lays dead and my oracles breath free air. That should be enough for you."
:::So you can't tell me any more about Rhea's vision or this Daedric storm?"Rhea sees but a sliver of what's to come. Even now, Princes unbound by Sotha Sil's compact move against Nirn. I retired to Moonshadow to prepare. We'll meet again soon, in a distant land. Perhaps sooner than you'd like. Until then, walk in twilight."

===The Missing Prophecy===
Rhea Opacarius: "Part the gloaming fog. Gaze deep beyond the twilight and perceive …."
Kanzin: "I see … an island. A mountain of rage and ashes."
Muz-Shah: "A great heart, pushing fire as blood …. A source of power, cloaked in secrets."
Rhea Opacarius: "A city of oil and bronze. A shrine to vanity, driven by clockworks and steam …. There's more …. A gathering of Princes … three faces, shrouded. All of Nirn, drowned in blood! Enough! Enough …."
==Quotes==
*"You found my note! Thank the Rose …. And you, of course. I caught a glimpse of our enemies while I hurtled through Oblivion. They lurk in a ruin, deep within a swamp. The face of a lizard looms above them. More questions …. When the others are safe, we should seek my Lady's counsel. Hurry back to Pariah Abbey!" – After rescuing her from Mephala's Nest
*"You found it. This is definitely the place from my vision. What did you find there? A journal?" – After reading Tommy Bones's Journal
*"Ah, I see now. To decipher the future, we have to know the past. This is it." – After she reads Tommy Bones's Journal
*"What … was that?" – After Azura speaks through her
