The stars last night spoke of a disaster narrowly averted.

The Acolyte passed through town recently. I wonder what he wanted.

Message 1011

[temple] [temple's town] Dear [your name], Far have I come to speak with you on behalf of the Oracle, the wise woman of Hammerfell. The Archmagister of the Mages Guild has spoken highly of you as an honorable and talented caster of magicka. Please come meet with me as soon as possible; time is a circumscribed commodity. Without your help, the Oracle's dark prophesy will come to pass in [queston1] days, and all [the region] will weep. I must see you soon. Yours cordially, The Acolyte

Message 1012

The Acolyte was said to be a nobleman before he became the Oracle's disciple.

The Acolyte does all of the Oracle's footwork. Understandable at her age.

The Acolyte used to be a nobleman, but he is devoted to serving the Oracle.

The Acolyte is that [acolyte] down at [temple].

The Acolyte has been the Oracle's servant for years, since he was very young.

When the Oracle gives the Acolyte his prophesy, he will leave her at last.

Message 1013

The Oracle has no eyes but she is said to be the wisest woman in Tamriel.

The Oracle has traditionally been the counselor to the monarchs of Sentinel.

The Oracle advised King Camaron against warring with Daggerfall.

King Camaron didn't listen to the Oracle's advice against warring with Daggerfall.

The Oracle knew that Sentinel would lose the war with Daggerfall.

If Camaron of Sentinel had listened to the Oracle, he'd be alive today.

Message 1014

[the quest date]: I got a letter from The Acolyte asking for a meeting. He is staying at [temple] in [temple's town].

Message 1015

Thank you for coming, [your first name]. The Oracle has foreseen the death of one of the great nobles of [temple's town], the noble [noble], and like a pebble in a still pond, [his/her] death will lead to great calamity for [the region]. I have tried speaking with [him/her], but I am not permitted to enter [his/her] company in [noblehouse]. My mistress, the Oracle, intends to come to [temple's town] to speak with [his/her] Grace, and I last heard that she was in [oracletemple's town]. I am not familiar with these parts, so I don't know how far away that is. I need you to either talk to [noble] and convince [him/her] to protect [him/her]- self, or find the Oracle somewhere near [oracletemple's town] and bring her to see [him/her]. There is precious little time. Please, I beg thee, hurry.

Message 1016

[the quest date]: The Acolyte told me that he is attempting to convince [noble] to leave [noblehouse] lest [he/she] die, and by dying, bring calamity to all [the region]. I have been asked either to speak with [noble] myself or go to [oracletemple's town] to escort the Oracle, the Acolyte's mistress, here. She might be able to convince [noble], but, then again, so might I. -changed 1016 to shorter lines, was running offscreen in journal

Message 1017

You are [your name], the [your race] my Acolyte sent to escort me to [noble]. I gave my eyes to the gods, you see, and I saw your approach through their eyes. Now, let us hurry to [noblehouse] in [noblehouse's town] before [noble]'s fate is set.

Message 1018

The Oracle speaks to [noble], and her calm, persuasive tones work their magic. It takes only a few moments for [him/her] to recognize the wisdom in her advice, and [he/she] agrees to go into hiding for a few days for the good of [the region]. The Oracle thanks you for escorting her and tells you that she will recommend you to the court of Sentinel for your bravery and resourcefulness.

Message 1019

[noble] and [love] embrace, and then [he/she] pleads that, for the good of all [the region], [noble] must go into hiding with [his/her] most trusted guards. At once, [he/she] agrees, but not before giving you [gold] gold pieces in gratitude for rescuing [his/her] love.

Message 1020

As I told that blasted Acolyte, I am not interested in hiding my head because some mad old crone had a bad dream about me. As it happens, I am waiting for some word about my love [love], who was kidnapped. I will listen to [his/her] advice on this matter, but I will not go into hiding while [he/she] remains in danger. I should never have let [him/her] go within a hundred feet of [the dungeon] without proper escort, but I will certainly not abandon my love now. There is your answer, [your title].

Message 1021

[the quest date]: [noble] refuses to go into hiding until [he/she] knows that [his/her] love, [love], has been freed from [his/her] kidnappers. If I rescued [him/her] from [the dungeon], [noble] might listen to reason.

Message 1022

You've come from [noble] to rescue me? [an oath], let us make haste then. I've had a terrible -- and, I fear, prophetic -- dream about [him/her].

Message 1023

It is too late. The hour has come when fate has won the war with human will. The wind itself whispers [noble] is dead. [the region] will tremble.

Message 1024

[temple] [temple's town] Dear [your name], It is imperative that I speak with you as soon as possible. I represent the Oracle of Hammerfell. For the next several days I will be staying at [temple]. There are but [queston2] days before the future is irrevocably set, so I must see you soon. This matter is grave indeed. Please do not fail to meet me.
