Dialogue[]

A Change of Heart[]

At the start of the quest:

"Traveler, please. Have you heard tidings of the Edrald family? I've just come from their manor and they're gone! Just gone!"

Tell me what's wrong. "I've just arrived from Wayrest. Preparations are underway for my Arlie and I to be married! When I returned, the estates were deserted. Her family, the servant … gone! I don't know what could have happened to them!"
Any idea where they might have gone? "No, I don't. Arlie's parents have owned this estate since before I was born. We were to be wed here but a month from now. I know that Rivenspire has bigger problems right now, but … this is my future. Will you help me look for them?"
We can search together. "Thank you. I'm fairly competent with a dueling blade, but I'm out of my element here. Let's start in the manor house. There has to be some clue there."
What else can you tell me about the situation? "Not much to say, really. I was in Wayrest sealing writs and appropriating documents in preparation for the wedding. To come back only to find my beloved missing … it is most disheartening."
Your beloved, that would be Arlie? "The Lady Arlie Edrald, of the Westmark Edralds. A storied family of some means. Arlie's grandam was a powerful mage, you see. Her adventures took her all over Tamriel. We were betrothed when we were children, and this has been my home ever since."

After finding Dulkhi's Diary:

"This seems to be Dulkhi's diary. She was concerned … she writes about Arlie's sad smiles. Missing me, no doubt. She brought Arlie flowers … and then, they went to the windmill. Oh dear!"

What's wrong? "Well, it's just that … the windmill is our spot. Me and Arlie's. It's where we went to … you know. Rendezvous. So why would she take Dulkhi there? It doesn't make any sense!"
What else does it say? "Not much. Not about that, anyway … wait. They saw the Baroness hide something away at the windmill. It doesn't say what. Traveler, the Baroness never goes out there. Why would she hide something?"
Anything else? "Nothing. Nothing, but I'm shaking like a leaf. Here, take it away from me. Let's go. Let's check out the windmill."

Upon returning to Mundus:

"My friend, you are truly a hero worthy of song. I can't begin to express the depth of my thanks. You've done so much for me already … might I ask your advice?"

Advice about what? "My future. As we've walked together, I've come to see how small my life really is. If you hadn't come along, my dearest Arlie and her family would be dead. And perhaps myself, as well. I feel—perhaps I should strike out on my own. Become like you."
Stay here. Be happy with what you have. [?]
It's never too late to learn to defend yourself and those you love. "Sage advice. So be it! Once the estate has returned to order, I will return to Wayrest and enlist in the guard. I will miss my Arlie dearly, but at least when I return it will be as her capable defender. I am sure she'll wait for me."

Conversations[]

A Change of Heart[]

If the Vestige told him to leave and Dulkhi to stay:

Federic Seychelle: "Arlie. Baroness. I'm leaving." Krisandra Edrald: "Federic!" Arlie Edrald: "But you've just returned!" Federic Seychelle: "I know, my love, but please hear me out. I am a weak man. I have no knowledge of combat or the world. If this were to happen again. If raiders were to attack, or one of the Covenant's many enemies … there is nothing I could do to stop them! I will not be a slave to the whims of fate. When I return … if I return … I will be better able to defend us from the many dangers of this world." Arlie Edrald: "Is there nothing I can say to make you stay?" Federic Seychelle: "No, my love. I've made up my mind about this." Arlie Edrald: "I have truly no say in the matter?" Federic Seychelle: "If something happened to you, I would never forgive myself. So I must go." Arlie Edrald: "Then go." Federic Seychelle: "Take care, my love." Arlie Edrald: "Federic …."
