Concern for Nulfaga

Questor Offer

My husband's poor grandmother, Nulfaga, is rumored to be in very frail health, her once-brilliant mind almost utterly destroyed. She has locked herself in her castle in the Wrothgarian Mountains and experiments in magical studies with no regard for her own safety. I would know of her condition, but few possess the bravery to face the horrors of her castle and speak with her. My reward for a report on her health is a magical [magicitem]. Will you be my champion in this?

Refuse Quest

A common enough response. But very disappointing nevertheless.

Accept Quest

[an oath], I am glad to have found a champion. The name of her castle is Shedungent, and it should not take you longer than [2shedungent] days to go there and return. If she is insane, Shedungent may be a very dangerous place indeed. Be very careful. May Kynareth and Mara protect you.

Quest Fail

Until you have spoken with Nulfaga, I am not interested in conversation.

Quest Complete

I confess I doubted I would ever see you again. Your news that Nulfaga is still among the living does my heart much good. Here is your [magicitem].

Rumors During Quest

Why has the Queen developed this sudden affection for crazy old Nulfaga?

Nulfaga is nothing but an insane witch. Why does Queen Aubk-i care if she dies?

Rumors Postfailure

The Queen has sent yet another mercenary after that [your race] failed to find Nulfaga.

Queen Aubk-i couldn't wait for that [your race] any longer. She sent another mercenary.

Rumors Postsuccess

It is nice to see Queen Aubk-i happy at last. She has a very pretty smile.

Queen Aubk-i seems more than happy lately. She seems almost ... relieved.

Questor Postsuccess

Thank you once again for taking that dangerous trip to Shedungent to look in on Nulfaga for me.

Questor Postfailure

Ah, [your name]. The [your race] that refused to visit my husband's grandmother.

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: Aubk-i, the Queen of Daggerfall has asked me to check on the condition of her grandmother-in-law, Nulfaga. I am to go to Nulfaga's castle, Shedungent of Wrothgaria, and talk to her to see if she is well. I have [2shedungent] days to report her condition to Aubk-i and get my reward.

Message 1011

United thoughts and counsels, equal hope and hazard in the once glorious enterprise joined with me once, now misery hath joined in equal ruin! Eternal, eternal, eternal ruin. I tell the door to my soul to shut up. Oh, my child, why wouldst thou not listen, thy ear, thy glorious mortal face, thy throat, and the arrow. Oh misery.

Choosing out few words most horrible, let none them read! Verses, verses frame which with and other spells like terrible curses Heaven! Curse Oblivion! My boy! My boy is dead and let Tamriel tremble until he and I findeth peace denied. Shut up the door to his tomb and my home.

Say, what strange motive, Goddess! could compel an arrow to my beloved Lysandus' bare throat? Did he die there mourned and blessed or are my pretty birdies all turned to graywings? Oh doorway to my heart, shut up lest I sunder thee. I search the afterworld, the underworld, and the world-between and no where do I find the lightness of my son. Oh, madness to thy breast I cling suckling!

We are only like dead walls or vaulted graves, that, ruined, yield no echo. Oh, this gloomy world, in what a shadow or deep pit of darkness doth, womanish and fearful, mankind live. How came Lysandus by his death? In a mist, I know not how. Oblivion not come yet? Shut up mine door and keep out its gray skies. I'll move it nearer by a perspective, or make a glass that shall set all the world on fire upon an instant. I cannot sleep; my pillow is stuffed with a litter of porcupines. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [an oath] occurs 1 time. -- [your name] occurs 2 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 1 time. -- [your race] occurs 5 times. -- [2shedungent] occurs 2 times. -- [magicitem] occurs 3 times.
