;The Ashes of Our Fathers
When first speaking with her:
"I saw you speak with Lozruth. I know he's upset, but he's wrong about this tomb. The remains of Gaiden Shinji are inside—not Baloth Bloodtusk."
:What makes you so certain? "The door to this tomb commemorates Gaiden Shinji's final duel. His image is identical to engravings from that period—there's no question it's him. He respected every opponent he challenged. That's reflected in the depiction of Baloth Bloodtusk, his final opponent."
::Gaiden Shinji's final opponent was Baloth Bloodtusk? "Yes, he's the Orc opposite Shinji—which is why this can't be Baloth Bloodtusk's resting place. Though venerated by Wrothgar's Orcs, Baloth was little more than an opportunist. Why would an Orc mercenary's tomb honor the Redguard who "murdered" him?"
:::What's actually inside the tomb? "I … we don't know. The door won't open, so it's all theory. But I'll stake my reputation on this being Gaiden Shinji's tomb. I fear the king's people will be overzealous when they realize I'm right."
::::What do you mean by "overzealous?" "They hold Gaiden Shinji responsible for Old Orsinium's destruction. When they see this is actually Shinji's tomb … at best, Lozruth will be banished for his find. At worst? Shinji's bones will be ground to powder, cooked into a pie, and served to the king."
::::Just tell me what you need. "The indentations by the door are for burial urns—no doubt some sort of key. If you can open the tomb with the proper urns, I can safeguard Shinji's remains."
:::::Where would I find these burial urns? "There are catacombs nearby with similar stonework to this tomb, but they're crawling with Winterborn. Try there—look for a monument stone of some kind."
::::::All right, I'll look for a monument stone. "If you can find them in the catacombs, I'm certain the burial urns will open Gaiden Shinji's tomb. And avoid the Winterborn if you can help it."
:::::::Who was Gaiden Shinji? "The greatest hero in an era of heroes. He's remembered for his skill with the blade, but his wisdom defined the future of the Redguard people. Shinji once wrote, "Honor wears the face of your final opponent." It's why Baloth Bloodtusk is connected to him."
After the third vision:
"So Gaiden Shinji and Baloth Bloodtusk were pulled into a war neither wanted. They dueled to stop an endless siege. And they died betrayed by the plots of a Breton king? These are not the legends I was raised to believe."
:We all saw the same thing. Could the legends be false? "Every legend has some truth behind it. Perhaps this tomb will help us find the truth in Gaiden Shinji's legend. And Baloth Bloodtusk, as well. He was different than I expected. But I suppose that's the point."

;The Ashes of our Fathers
Upon returning with the urns:
Sharela: "I said, this is the tomb of Gaiden Shinji."
Goruz: "Lozruth, what is this nonsense?"
Lozruth: "Sharela speaks for herself. This is the tomb of Baloth Bloodtusk, there is no question."
Goruz: "Well, I have a question—has your partner lost her damned mind?"
Sharela: "None of this will matter once we open the tomb."
Lozruth: "At which point Sharela will be proven wrong."
Sharela: "That I can trust my partner to back my findings? Yes, Lozruth is correct."
Goruz: "Orsinium did not send me to mediate a family quarrel. Figure out whose tomb this is or I'll have the army drive you out."
Upon opening the door:
Lozruth: "It worked. Sharela, you were right!"
Sharela: "Yes, Lozruth. I often am."
Lozruth: "On a good day, perhaps. Let's continue this inside."
Once inside:
Sharela: "Tu'whacca's breath! Lozruth, do you see this?"
Lozruth: "These monuments … millennia old. Redguard and Orc stonework. Side-by-side."
Sharela: "Not just that. Order of Diagna and Savage Sons, intermingled."
Lozruth: "Orc stonework never presents enemies in equal standing."
Sharela: "It seems an impossible thing."
Lozruth: "Yet we see it before us. There must be more answers within."
In the room with the statue:
Lozruth: "I don't believe it."
Sharela: "One is clearly Gaiden Shinji … but the other …."
Lozruth: "Baloth Bloodtusk. Memorialized in stone."
Sharela: "This is their tomb. Both of them?"
Lozruth: "They were mortal enemies. How can this be?"
Sharela: "There must be a reason. We should look around, learn how this was possible."
After completing the quest:
Lozruth: "Sharela? I was wondering ….
Sharela: "Yes? About what?"
Lozruth: "Now that we found Baloth Bloodtusk …."
Sharela: "And Gaiden Shinji."
Lozruth: "Of course, of course … such a finding would take months to explore."
Sharela: "It could take years."
Lozruth: "Years? Do you think? I … yes, it could take years."
Sharela: "What are you saying, Lozruth?"
Lozruth: "Could we, perhaps … that is, if you're interested … maybe …."
Sharela: "Study this tomb together?"
Lozruth: "Yes! That is, if you're interested. Are you interested? You're not interested."
Sharela: "On one condition."
Lozruth: "Yes? Name it!"
Sharela: "Top listing in every journal."
Lozruth: "But … I thought we'd agreed on alphabetical!"
Sharela: "Ha! Lozruth, you still can't tell when I'm pulling your tusk?"
Lozruth: "Oh. Heh. So … we continue as we were?"
Sharela: "Of course. You can't get rid of me that easily."
Lozruth: "Good, that's … ahem. Good."
