Quest Log Entry

That looks like Lord Woodborne's private journal.

Lord Woodborne's private journal.

Page 7 from childhood. I know that Gothryd would not refuse his aid, but I must bide my time to ask. After all, Elysana is still heiress of Wayrest and I am her betrothed. So it should be that when Eadwyre dies (which he is bound to do, sooner rather than later) I will be king. If it weren't for that bitch queen and her brats, I would and could be patient. Never trust a dark elf, the old saying goes, for you cannot read truth in their eyes. If Barenziah has her way, Helseth will be heir and Elysana will be married off to some far- off kingdom. Morgiah is already promised to the heir of Firsthold, but they keep her around to spread the poison against Elysana, and especially, me. Barenziah doesn't trust me, this I can tell. I will deal with her just as I did with Lysandus. The fool should have agreed to support me. Gortwog and his orcs almost saved him. I'll deal with those sub-humans once I sit upon the throne of Wayrest. First it is important to solidify my power base. I can (almost certainly) rely on Gothryd to support my bid for the throne, if Helseth is made heir. I have a spy network equaling that of Eadwyre, Gothryd, Akorithi, or the Emperor. Perhaps the Necromancers and the Underking's networks are more extensive, but I doubt it. The problem is raw physical power. I do not have a standing army. I need the gold to raise

Message 1018

[the quest date]: I found a most-damning couple of pages in Woodborne Hall. I'm sure Lord Woodborne would be quite livid if they were to fall into the wrong hands.

Message 1019

[the quest date]: Lysandus' ghost appeared to me and told me that only the death or humiliation of his murderer, Lord Woodborne, would lay his soul to rest. Lord Woodborne is a noble of Wayrest and betrothed to Princess Elysana. He has a castle in the wilderness of Wayrest.

Message 1021

I hear Lord Woodborne was beheaded for treason.

They caught Lord Woodborne and tried him for treason.

Message 1022

I heard a flock of Daedra descended upon Lord Woodborne and carried him off.

Things from beyond the grave rose and assaulted Woodborne Hall! --added "and" to fix poor grammar

I hear Lord Woodborne cheated the Mages Guild. They sent demons to kill him. --added "to" to fix poor grammar

Message 1024

I heard that Lord Woodborne will be marrying Princess Elysana.

Lord Woodborne is in high favor these days at Castle Wayrest.

Message 1030

This means little to me. It is trash fit only for being burnt. Gothryd and Woodborne plotting to kill Lysandus. Really! Go away.

Message 1031

This is atrocious! After all the affection we showered on that fool Woodborne! We nearly married that villainous swine to Elysana -- nearly handed the throne of Wayrest to a cad of the first order! Good [your first name], it was the right thing to do to bring this to our attention. Rest assured that Lord Woodborne will be arrested and executed for his treason, his name barred from the books of honor, his acquaintances interrogated, his fortune confiscated. As a gift, please allow me to give you [reward] gold pieces as your share of his property confiscations.

Message 1032

Lord Woodborne is the slayer of my dear Lysandus. There shall be justice, and it shall come from my hand! You would do best to stay clear of Woodborne Hall and Wayrest for some time, [your name].

Message 1033

This information is quite valuable, [your first name]. Let me gift you with [gold] gold for giving it to me. This will be quite handy in the coming conflict.

Message 1034

You were completely correct to bring this to me. Otherwise, it might have gotten out where it could do Lord Woodborne damage. Guards! Kill this [your race]!

Message 1040

You! You're that [your race] [your name]. You have been a thorn in my side for a long time now. A wiser [your race] would have let sleeping kings lie. Especially when I have gone to such great lengths to kill them. Yes [your first name], I killed King Lysandus. And now it will be a pleasure to slay you. En garde!
