What people say

Questor Offer

So Morgiah says Gortwog has the emperor's letter. Very interesting. I think I have a way to get Gortwog to turn over that letter. Are you willing to brave the depths of Orsinium to try to retrieve it?

Refuse Quest

You are obviously not as loyal to the empire as I thought. Be gone.

Accept Quest

Gortwog wants very badly to be recognized by the empire. It would mean the beginning of peace between the orcs and the other races of the empire. Present this letter to Gortwog. Hopefully it will persuade him to cooperate.

Quest Log Entry

[the quest date]: Mynisera, Queen Mother to King Gothryd of Daggerfall, has asked me to retrieve the stolen letter sent to her by the emperor. I have to go to the hall of Orsinium in Orsinium and give Gortwog, the orc warlord, a letter from her.

Message 1015

So, Mynisera seeks to sweet-talk me. Bah! Her old letter is of no value to me anymore. She may have it. However, my people may not be so lenient toward a [your race] wandering the halls of Orsinium. If you can survive my realm and find the letter, you may take it back to her. I will also consider you to be a worthy [your race].

Message 1020

Lord Gortwog, King of Orcs, Warlord of the Subterranean Realms Hail and long life, King Gortwog. Long have you and the Orcish people sought formal recognition by the empire. My dead husband King Lysandus supported your claim to sovereign rule. I would now help you in your cause. Sadly, a minor missive from the emperor has been misplaced. For me to truly hold the trust and ear of Emperor Uriel Septim, I need to reclaim this note. Should you be able to place in my servant's hand this trifling letter, I would be far better able to forward your claim to the emperor and his court. The Dowager Mynisera, Queen Mother to King Gothryd of Daggerfall

Message 1021

Queen Mynisera, I have grave news. The Totem of Tiber Septim has been found. You know what this means. The power behind Tiber Septim could be unleashed upon Tamriel again. Rumor has it that Lord Woodborne, a minor lord of Wayrest, has possession of it. He will doubtless "lose" it soon. You must persuade him to turn it over to you or Lady Brisienna. The court of Wayrest has no love of King Lysandus, but you still have influence there. I am asking you to use it on my behalf. Uriel Septim Emperor of Tamriel

Message 1030

[your first name], this letter is dangerous. Gortwog has undoubtedly sold copies of it to everyone from Wayrest to the Underking. After all, if the powers of the Iliac Bay become embroiled in war over the Totem, he stands to gain quite a lot. Go now. You have done your job. I am sure the Totem will find its way into your life somehow. You seem to have a knack for such things. Just remember, the only safe master of the Totem is the emperor.

Message 1040

You still don't know where the Emperor's letter is. Come back when you know that. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [your first name] occurs 1 time. -- [the quest date] occurs 1 time. -- [your race] occurs 3 times.
