[your name]! Welcome to Sentinel. I trust you have had a comfortable stay so far. Let me get right to the point. My son, Prince Lhotun, says you are a well-respected and trusted [your race]. I have need of your sort. I am willing to pay you [gold] gold to infiltrate Castle Wayrest and recover an heirloom of the late King Lysandus for me. Will you do it?

Hmmm. I shall have to rethink your standing in this court.

Message 1011

Dear [your name], Your presence in our court is desired before the end of the next season. Prince Lhotun has recommended you with high praise. I await your arrival. Akorithi Queen of Sentinel

Message 1012

A page girl bearing the crest of Sentinel stiffly presents you a crisply-pressed envelope. Ignoring your queries, she turns and walks away.

Message 1013

The longer you stare, the more the image in the painting seems to be moving. You tear your eyes away before anything worse begins to happen.

Message 1015

The scene in the painting shifts and twists. You can clearly see the inside of a tent. Several men in the livery of Wayrest are intensely debating with a man bearing the coat of arms of Daggerfall. One of the Wayrest men slips behind the Daggerfall man, draws a dagger and casually slides it between his ribs. The image fades as the life ebbs from his body.

Message 1020

Did you attempt to use the painting?

Message 1021

Excellent. Its properties are inappropriate for those not of royal blood. You have shown yourself to be not only loyal, but also obedient.

Message 1022

You presume much, [your name]. What you saw is not for the prying eyes of the masses. It concerns matters of royalty and will be dealt with by royalty. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [your first name] occurs 3 times. -- [your name] occurs 4 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 1 time. -- [your race] occurs 1 time. -- [gold] occurs 10 times.
