Stronghold of the Blades

Questor Offer

Good day, [your first name]. My name is [agentuk]. I must admit that I am surprised to see you. Are you perhaps able to help the Underking in an endeavor against the Necromancers? We will reward you liberally for this service, and provide information you will probably not be able to find elsewhere.

Refuse Quest

No. I see. Very well.

Accept Quest

You will. Hmm. Remarkable. The Necromancers have taken an item of ours, a [reward] of some value. The value is of secondary concern. The true problem is that they cursed this item and gave it to the Blades. If you are unaware, the Blades were once the honor guard for Tiber Septim. Today they are loyal to the empire and Tiber's code, but not always to the current emperor. The Underking has reason to not wish harm upon the Blades. We want you to infiltrate Castle Llugwych in Ykalon and remove the [reward]. Please have this done in [itemindung] days if you want your information and reward.

Quest Fail

No [reward], as they say, no information, [your first name].

Quest Complete

Well done, [your first name]. Let me cast this spell upon the [reward] ... there. The [reward] is now safe and yours to keep. Not even death can hide a true descendant of Tiber Septim from the Underking. King Lysandus did not die in the battle of Cryngaine. He was slain by treachery before it. The monument to him in High Rock is an empty tomb. His remains were secretly taken to an ancient tomb in Menevia, which I will now reveal to you. I do not know who betrayed Lysandus, nor why his spirit haunts the city of Daggerfall and not the battlefield of Cryngaine. I have kept my part of the bargain, and you have earned the gratitude of the Underking.

Rumors During Quest

The King of Worms and the Underking are supposed to be one and the same.

The Underking is supposedly dead, but his agents still carry out his goals.

Rumors Postfailure

Stealing from the Underking is a lunatic's profession. Ask that [your race] mercenary.

Did you hear about the [your race] who tried to steal from the Underking? Poor idiot.

Rumors Postsuccess

Strange portents were in the stars last night. Angry passions of a demi-god.

Necromancers are supposedly scouring the countryside looking for a [reward].

Questor Postsuccess

[the quest date]: An agent of the Underking has sent me to Castle Llugwych in Ykalon to find a certain [reward] the Necromancers stole from the Underking. I have [itemindung] days to find and return the [reward].

Quest Log Entry

You interfere with the plans of The King of Worms. Fear for your mortal life!

The King of Worms demands vengeance. You stole what was rightfully his. Now you must join the kingdom of the dead.

Foolish flesh and blood. Do not defy the Lord of the Dead. The King of Worms will have his vengeance.

You should never have touched that [reward]. It is a gateway to the land of the dead. Now you must join us there. Prepare to die!

Message 1021

Dear [your name], Queen Akorithi of Sentinel spoke highly of you as a brave, able, and unprejudiced [your race]. Her actual words were 'a hero.' For some time, we have been looking for someone like that. I will not lie to you about our loyalties. We serve the Underking. If you are a believer in fairy tales and consider the Underking the ultimate force of evil, we apologize for misjudging you. Otherwise, we need your help. You can find me at [agentplace] of [agentplace's town] in Sentinel. I will wait one month. -- [agentuk]
