Dialogue[]

Rightful Inheritance[]

At the start of the quest:

"That silly, stupid boy. He's going to get himself killed in there."

Who? What's wrong? "Sorondil is scion of the last High Kinsman, Rilis the twelfth. I … I was Rilis's mistress. And now my son risks his life for some fool treasure."
What's his plan? "He wants to prove himself to his ancestors. He thinks there's some sort of treasure deep in the vaults. Sor wants so badly to be a Rilis. I just want him to be safe. Please, will you look after him?"
I'll do what I can. "We don't know each other, stranger. But you have a mother's gratitude for your kindness."
Can you tell me about the Rilis family? "The high family of Firsthold, House Rilis has ruled this part of Auridon for centuries. In the past, it was known as a proud line of warriors. Until the last Rilis, that is."
Who was the last Rilis? "Rilis the Twelfth. They called him a despot, a murderer. He communed with Daedra. Committed horrible acts in the depths of his palace. For his crimes, he's trapped here. In the banished cells beneath the castle."
Didn't he help found the Mages Guild? "Ha! To hear him tell it, it was all his idea. Vanus Galerion, First Mage of Firsthold, was the real founder of the guild. Rilis just allowed him to do his work in the city. I heard rumors he even bargained with Galerion for access to Oblivion."
The last Rilis? Who is the current Rilis? "Rilis the Thirteenth. The legitimate heir of the despot Rilis the Twelfth—Sorondil's half-brother and current High Kinsman of Firsthold. He's a good man, I hear. Less scarred by the acts of his father than Sorondil.
You were the mistress of a High Kinsmen? "I was. I think I loved him. But the tales of Daedric power he was given … even the power to control the minds of mer …. What if I never … what if I never really loved him?"

After killing Sorondil:

"The guards are quiet again. Something's happened. Where's my son? Where's Sorondil?"

I'm sorry, Elanwe. He's gone. "Gone? How? What happened down there?"
[Lie] He took the helm and fled through a magic portal. I don't think we'll ever see him again. [?]
The helm's magic overwhelmed him and he attacked me. I had no choice. I had to kill him. "You did what you could. I somehow knew it would end this way. Thank you for listening to a mother's plea. I'd like to be alone now."
