The Heartless Daedra

Questor Offer

I have an acquaintance, an alchemist of some skill by the name of [chemist]. In order to complete a project of mine, [he/she] needs a rather rare item -- the heart of a daedra. I won't lie to you; the daedra want this heart back, and you may encounter some of them along the way. Are you willing to risk this, in reward for a generous fee?

Refuse Quest

I'm disappointed, but I can't say I don't understand. Volunteering for an assignment involving the daedra certainly requires more bravery and valor than is commonly seen in [your race] adventurers.

Accept Quest

You will? Then good luck to you. Here is the daedra's heart. If it is not in my friend [chemist]'s hands in [first part time] days, it will be too old to be used. After you have delivered it, return for your reward. Good luck and godspeed to [chemist's place]. --in 1002, added the name of the city you need to go to at the end.

Quest Fail

You don't think I know you haven't delivered the daedra's heart to my alchemist? I hope you don't expect a reward for your obvious failure. Without a fresh daedra's heart, the project will be delayed once again. Blast it back to Oblivion!

Quest Complete

Outstanding job, [your first name]. I knew those daedralings wouldn't slow you down. Your superior skill has been duly noted. Thank you and here is the [reward] gold we agreed on. --in 1004, changed [reward] to [reward] to ensure specific gold amount.

Rumors During Quest

Dire portents have been read in the sky. The daedric stars glow bright.

The Cabal at the Mages Guild say the daedra are active tonight.

Rumors Postfailure

The daedra appear to be sated, from all astrological signs.

I could almost smell sulphur in the air, but it seems to be gone now.

Rumors Postsuccess

Lot of activity at [chemist]'s shop. A big experiment in progress, they say.

[quest giver] is very happy with a surprisingly reliable [your race] mercenary.

Questor Postsuccess

And what can I do for my brave young [your race]?

Hail, hero. I hope you're not worried about those daedra holding a grudge.

Questor Postfailure

I was disappointed by your failure to deliver that daedra heart. I expect you thought I had forgotten about it. That's the only explanation for your decision to return to court.

Quest Log Entry

Oh, marvelous. An outstanding aortas daedrae, with minimal decomposition. Hurry back to [quest giver] now, [your first name]. There's a lot on [his/her] mind, and if you're not back in [2ndparton] days, [he/she] may forget you even left.

[chemist]? Resembles a sort of [chemist]? I think [he/she]'s [a direction] of here.

There's an alchemist named [chemist] who works for [quest giver] [a direction] of here.

Message 1012

[quest giver]? Why, [he/she]'s a noble. Involved in some daedric activity lately.

[quest giver]'s a noble, [a direction] of here.

Like so many other nobles, [quest giver] has about a dozen projects brewing.

[quest giver] has a lot of faith in alchemistry, like a lot of nobles do.

Message 1013

A daedra's heart. It never spoils, but some recipes call for it to be fresh.

The heart of a daedra. Not the sort of thing daedra like in mortals' hands.

Message 1015

[the quest date]: [quest giver] of [quest giver's place] asked me to bring the heart of a daedra to [his/her] alchemist in [chemist's town] of [chemist's place]. This alchemist is a [chemist] named [chemist], and if I can get to [him/her] with all the daedra trying to stop me, and get there within [first part time] days, [quest giver] will give me my reward upon my return to [quest giver's town].

The daedra hisses, "[your name], you meddle in affairs beyond your ken. Yes, your name is now known to us. And we will not rest until the heart of our brother is back in our hands.
