What people say
Questor Offer
[your first name], I do not know even how to broach this subject. I need you to promise me on your ancestors' honor that you will do what you can to help me and never breathe of what I say or what you see to anyone else, anywhere. Will you so swear?
Refuse Quest
It would be worse, I suppose, for you to swear and then not be true. Still, I had hoped for more gallantry from you.
Accept Quest
I will trust you then, [your first name]. The matter concerns my mother-in-law, the dowager queen of Daggerfall and widow of Lysandus, Mynisera. As mistress of the household finances, I have noticed that she has been paying for the upkeep of a fortress called [myndung's place] complete with a large platoon of soldiers. A short while ago, she disappeared with a wrapped parcel of papers and came back days later with empty hands. She has recently left again with another parcel of letters and my spies have verified that she has gone to [myndung's place]. You will have to trust that my suspicion of her activities is justifiable, for I am not in a position to offer proof. What I need for you to do is go to [myndung's place] and find that parcel of letters or any other information about her activities there. Mynisera will be returning in [2myndung] days. You cannot have any more time than that, I fear. Good luck.
Quest Fail
I need some kind of evidence in [2myndung] days or less, [your first name].
Quest Complete
How very sad. To be honest, this is not what I expected the letters to contain. Poor Mynisera. Everyone at court knows that her husband, the late King Lysandus, preferred the face and form of another woman to hers, but she still attempts to hide all evidence of it. Her loyalty to Lysandus is almost as great as his foolish loyalty to the emperor. And those poor little children. How dreadful the butchery of the innocents. We know of the barbarism of the orcs, but surely they did not deserve that. Hardly surprising that Mynisera did not want it known that her father was responsible for such a grotesque enterprise. Well, I thank you, [your first name], for your valor and your discretion. Please accept this small token of my esteem, not as a payment but as a gift. May [a god] bless thee.
Questor Postfailure
The letters are badly burned, but some words can still be read.

[the quest date]: Queen Aubk-i wants me to follow her mother-in-law, the dowager queen of Daggerfall, to her fortress, [myndung's place] to see what becomes of the parcels of paper old Mynisera has been bringing there. I have only [2myndung] days to get back to Aubk-i with the letters. She has promised me more information in return for this.
