==Dialogue==
Show: Fortress of Ice
In Winterhold's Mages Guild:
"Welcome, (Player's name), to Winterhold. I trust the weather has not affected you adversely? Well, it has come to my attention there have been certain inquiries about the Labyrinthian. My name is Thelen Kaarn, and I find this quite interesting. Few have sought out this legendary place, many less have found it. Perhaps we can do each other a favor. Allow me to explain. A few days ago, knights from the Fortress of Ice attacked a small caravan destined for our Guild. This caravan was to deliver to us an object of unimaginable importance, a missing tablet that would help decipher a part of the Elder Scrolls. This piece completed a map to the Labyrinthian. No doubt the knights returned their booty to their fortress, and are by now deeply ensconced within its walls. We could not hope to get in there and recover that tablet piece. We are not prepared for such an endeavor. If you would agree to attempt this, I would gladly tell you the location of the Labyrinthian. All I need is the missing piece to solve the puzzle. Will you agree to help us?"
After accepting the request:
"I am pleased to see that you do not shy from danger. Enough talk then, here is the location of the Fortress of Ice. When you have the missing piece, return here with it and I will share with you the location of the Labyrinthian..." Thelen gestures once and the location of the Fortress of Ice is magically inscribed onto your map.
After denying the request:
"I had wished that you would not shy from danger, but I can understand your decision. If you change your mind, I will await your return. Just ask again of the Labyrinthian here at the Guild, and I will try to help..." Thelen bids you farewell, then walks down a corridor and out of sight.
Returning after denying:
"Welcome again to Winterhold's Mages Guild, (Player's name). I had hoped you would wish to speak again on this matter. The knights go restless, I think they mean to move our treasures elsewhere. If they do so, we will not be able to recover the missing piece of the Elder Scrolls, and the location of the Labyrinthian will be lost forever. Will you help me recover the tablet?"
Returning before claiming the tablet:
"I see that you were unsuccessful against the Knights of the Fortress of Ice. Perhaps you should prepare using what you have learned of their defenses. You may rest in town as long as you feel necessary. The option to try and recover the missing piece of the Elder Scroll lies with you. If you decide to try again, bring the piece back here to me. I will await your successful return..." Thelen smiles kindly, patting your shoulder. He then turns his attention to his work, satisfied that your needs have been met...
Returning with the tablet:
"I had hoped and prayed for your safe return. I see you were successful. Your deeds will be sung among the tales of heroes. If you will wait a moment, I will give you what I promised..." Thelen fits the piece into a larger tablet, then reads what is written. He gestures for your map. With a feather pen, he inscribes the location of the Labyrinthian, somewhere in the Skyrim , onto your map...
