Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: I am on a mission from the emperor to investigate the shade of King Lysandus. His spirit has been haunting the city of Daggerfall. The emperor himself has charged me with the duty of laying his ghost to rest. There is also the minor matter of a letter he sent to the Queen of Daggerfall. If I should find out what happened to the letter, he would be most appreciative. Before landing in Daggerfall, a sudden storm capsized the ship. I barely made it into this cave.

Message 1011

[the quest date]: I met with Lady Brisienna in a tavern room. She told me that the three major powers of the Iliac bay are Daggerfall, Wayrest, and Sentinel. If I am to investigate the mystery of Lysandus' ghost, I should start by speaking with the royal families of these fiefdoms.

Message 1012

Lady Magnessen? She's the emissary of the Blades in Daggerfall.

Lady Magnessen is a part of the set regularly at Castle Daggerfall.

Lady Magnessen was formerly in the employ of Mynisera, when she was Queen.

Message 1013

Lady Magnessen once worked for the Queen Mother, but always for the Emperor.

Lady Magnessen is the sister of the Great Knight, leader of the Blades.

I heard Lady Magnessen was accused of spying. Nobody knows where she is now.

Message 1015

Ah, thank you for responding to my letter, [your first name]. I am Lady Brisienna. Let me bring you up to date on affairs. The spectre of King Lysandus haunts the streets of Daggerfall at night. Trying to communicate with him is futile. He will occasionally moan the word "Vengeance", but that is the only coherent word I have ever heard him utter. If you are ever in Daggerfall, do not wander the city at night. You are certain to be attacked by his legion of ghosts. It would be probably more gainful to investigate those who might have wronged Lysandus to find the cause behind his torment. I do not know if the royal family of Daggerfall or another person or persons merit more suspicion. The major powers of the Bay, Sentinel, Wayrest, and Daggerfall may be good places to start.

Message 1016

In the matter of the letter, the Emperor's agent says that he was unable to hand-deliver it to the Queen because of the war. He hired a courier who supposedly delivered the letter in his stead. We do not even know the name of this courier. Obviously, there is little information of use, but it would be worthwhile to see whether the letter arrived at Castle Daggerfall at all. How you decide to do this is entirely your decision. I will contact you if any new information should surface. I am leaving Daggerfall soon. My position here has been compromised and my life is in danger. Do not mention my name in court. It is more likely to hurt than help. Good luck, and watch your back, [your first name].

Message 1020

Dear [your name], I heard about your accident at sea, and feared the worst. Now that I've heard you're alive and well, I would like the opportunity to meet with you and discuss our beloved Emperor's mission in the Iliac Bay. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lady Magnessen, the Emperor's agent in the court of Daggerfall. My position is not so official as an ambassador. None but other agents of the Emperor know of my true affiliation. The Iliac Bay is rife with rebels against the Imperial throne, so your discretion is required. For the purpose of our meeting, I will take a room at an inn, [dirtypit] in [dirtypit's town] of Daggerfall, for a month. After that, I will no longer be available. I will expect you as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, Brisienna, Lady Magnessen

Message 1021

[your name], I sent you a letter weeks ago. I only hope it caught up with you. If this one crosses your path after you have visited me on your way to see me in [dirtypit's town] please do not take offense. As I mentioned in the previous letter, I am the Emperor's agent in Daggerfall and it is imperative that I speak with you. I have extend my stay at [dirtypit] in [dirtypit's town] for two more weeks. Of course there is the possibility that you have intentionally snubbed me and shirked your duty to the Emperor. I hope that is not the case. If you fail to arrive, I will be forced to assume you are a traitor to his Imperial Majesty, Uriel Septim VII. Yours sincerely, Brisienna, Lady Magnessen

Message 1022

[your name], I waited and you never arrived. I shall report this to the Emperor. If I have my way, you will be barred from service. Lady Magnessen

Message 1026

You are approached by a young page who smiles in recognition and does not ask your name before he hands you a letter addressed to you. To all of your questions, he merely responds with a blank look and a smile.

A letter is pressed into your hand. You spin to see who gave it to you. You catch a glimpse of livery that vanishes into the crowd.

A page steps forward saying "Letter for you [your name]," and hands you a note.

A courier steps up to you with a letter in hand. "I was told to give this letter to someone fitting your description," says the courier. As you take it, the courier turns and walks quickly away.

Reaching into your pack for something to eat, you spy a note. It wasn't there before.

A redfaced courier startles you with a cry of "Letter for [your name]! Hey that must be you. Here, take this. Gotta go. Other deliveries to be made."

Message 1025

You wake and look around the room. Some hours ago, you were in a boat, en route to Daggerfall, when a storm of supernatural strength boiled over the Iliac Bay like a malefic creature. Your boat was destroyed, but you managed to swim through the churning water to a promontory rock. There you found a cave and escaped the fury of the storm. You had only just lit a small fire when a mudslide sealed you within. Your fear of being buried alive calmed when you saw the corridor leading out of the cavern. Perhaps there is a way out of this cave after all. Once free of the cave, you can begin the Emperor's quest. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [your first name] occurs 10 times. -- [your name] occurs 6 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 2 times. -- [dirtypit's town] occurs 16 times.
