Lovely. Did you read this? Of course you did. What rot. There was another mage who had similar views of the vampiric tribes, I cannot recall his name. You've done well, young one. Very well indeed.

Rumors During Quest

[mage] is involved in terrifically important work down in [the dungeon].

[the dungeon] is a grim place, but good for [mage] to get [his/her] work done in peace.

Rumors Postfailure

[mage]'s work on vampires apparently has reached the Mages Guild's attention.

The Archmagister of the Mages Guild himself is studying [mage]'s work.

Rumors Postsuccess

Tamriel may never know just what poor [mage] had been working so hard on.

[mage] was murdered, they say because [he/she] was working on a charm against daedra.

Quest Log Entry

[vamp's town] [vamp's place] Dear [your name], Those doddering, unenlightened barbarians who call themselves the Mages Guild are involved in yet another rather- pointless endeavor. This time, they may, though accidentally, be on a path toward breaking the shade and exposing [your vampire clan]. It seems inconceivable that the Mages Guild actually accomplish anything, but we must make provision for such an eventuality. Come see me as soon as possible at the address above. Yours in Death, [vamp]

Message 1011

[the quest date]: I received a letter from [vamp] of [your vampire clan] in [vamp's place]. I am to meet [him/her] in a place called [vamp's town] as soon as possible.

Message 1012

Good evening, kin. The fools at the Mages Guild have blindly stumbled on a few bare facts in their aimless dissections. It is unlikely that they will get anywhere, but the mage who is leading the research is at least wise enough to hide. That, in itself, is enough for our concern. Of course, it is pointless to hide from [your vampire clan] anywhere in [the region]. [mage] is in [the dungeon], a laboratory of sorts. I want you to get the notes for this research and bring them back to me. [mage], I understand, keeps the notes on [his/her] person under the laughable misconception that they are safe there. Go point out the error in [his/her] thinking, [your first name].

Message 1013

My Dear Old [your name], Whenever you might find yourself in the vicinity of [mg's place], your ubiety at [mg's town] would be most efficacious to our present needs. In return for your support in an endeavor, I can offer you the gratification of personal economonic prosperity and the more sublime pleasure of aiding your Mages Guild compeers. I hope to see you very soon. Yours and all that, [mg]

Message 1014

A courier dressed in deep blue robes hands you a letter and, with a bow, disappears.

Message 1015

Oh, oh, [an oath], [your name], is it? I, ah, understand that you are the right one for this, being sufficiently mettlesome, thewy, in short, puissant to aid [mage], a sorcerer who fears that [his/her] research has attracted the, ah, inquisitorial attention of a local tribe of vampires. Too much work had made the poor old sorcerer, well, oversensitive. If you would just pop on over to [his/her] lab, [the dungeon], and get these precious notes, I would be very, very, ah, beholden. Just watch out for old [mage] -- [he/she]'s a mite, ah, agitated, I understand.

Message 1016

[an oath]! My precious notes! Away, bloodsucker! Away!

Message 1017

Wait a minute! Are you the [your race] I was supposed to give the notes to?

Message 1018

My sincere apologies, [your name]. I've been very nervous lately. Here are the notes. Be careful, though. Trust no one. [your vampire clan] vampires could be anyone.

Message 1019

[the quest date]: [mg] of [mg's town] in [mg's place] wants me to go to [the dungeon] to take [mage]'s work out of [his/her] hands and bring it safely to [mg's place]. Even though [mage] is expecting me, [he/she] may be a little nervous ... after all, anyone might be a vampire ...

Message 1020

[your vampire clan] are the dominant tribe of [the region], though they are by no means the dominant tribe of the whole Iliac Bay region. (Fill in this about the Montalion, Vrasethi, Ghulari, Selenu, et cetera, blah, blah, blah Different powers but basically same internal structure, blah, blah, blah). How is one cured of vampirism (find that Vampires of the Iliac Bay book, references to a society of former vampires)? Slaying the preeminent member of the same bloodline, from what I can gather from personal interviews and whatnot. (Note to me: that rather [vamp] in [vamp's place] has expressed interest in my work. Possible interviewee or trap?) Vampires infiltrating royal courts, Dark Brotherhood, even the Mages Guild in [the region] and else where. Is the [the ruler's title] of [the region] under influence of [your vampire clan] or perhaps more than under the influence? Run the standard test (pend that patent) and see what's what. Need Nymph Hair, holy symbol, et cetera, et cetera, fresh this time for [a god]'s sake. Talk to [mg] about increasing funding. Going nowhere.

Message 1021

[the quest date]: A sorcerer named [mage] has come close to major discoveries about [your vampire clan] and [vamp] has sent me to the laboratory, [the dungeon] to retrieve the notes. It is likely that [mage] has them on [his/her] body, as if that is protection against me.

Message 1022

Is this what [mage] wanted to protect? The meandering drivel of a madman. Still, not your fault I suppose. Here's [mggold] gold pieces for your propitious conveyance.
