What people say
Questor Offer
We would use thee to find a perfidious document circulated by our enemies in an effort to suppress our coven. I know wherein this packet of printed lies has been placed, but we need someone like thee to fight its guardian and bring it to us. Wilt thou assist [quest giver's faction] thus?
Refuse Quest
Wilt thou not? [an oath], then do not ask for favor of [quest giver's faction].
Accept Quest
Wilt thou? Then you will have our most unconfuted gratitude. The document lies in a temple, here in [the region], in a town called [temple's town]. [temple] keeps it somewhere, perhaps behind locked doors, guarded by a [guardian] of unquestioned power. If thou wilt bring the document here, to me, I will give to thee a [mitem] of the coven's manufacture. Return in no later than [quest time] days.
Quest Complete
Ah, the accursed document. Thou art to be commended for thy service to our sisterhood, [your title]. Here is the [mitem] I promised thee. The gratitude of [quest giver's faction] need not be physical to be felt.
Rumors During Quest
Have you read the next History of [quest giver's faction]. Shocking!
Rumors Postfailure
The History of [quest giver's faction] is being reproduced in the Imperial City.
Rumors Postsuccess
Some have read the History of [quest giver's faction], but the only copy disappeared.
Questor Postsuccess
Art thou pleased with thy [mitem], [your first name]? Thou surely didst deserve it.
Questor Postfailure
The accursed document hath gone to the Imperial City to be reproduced for the ignorant masses, [your first name]. Thou hast failed [quest giver's faction]. Go from this place.
Quest Log Entry
[the quest date]: I have agreed to get a document about [quest giver's faction] from [temple] in [temple's town] and return with it in [quest time] days or less. The document will likely be guarded by a [guardian].
Message 1011
This is apparently the document that [quest giver's faction] wanted.
Message 1012
Among the more fiendish practices of the [quest giver's faction] is the rite they perform in honor of [daedra's faction]. The flesh of a newborn infant is boiled over the flames of burning brimstone for three and a half days until it is hard and leathery. The resultant fiber is sewn over the head of a black cat, who is kept in a cage until it has chewed through the caul or has died of suffocation. If the cat dies, the witches know that [daedra's faction] will not answer their entreaties, but if the cat lives, [quest giver's faction] may ask [daedra's faction] for anything -- the death or mutilation of princes, economic catastrophe, famine, plague, war ...
