Telacar is an Altmer ghost confined to the Ossuary of Telacar, Grahtwood. He and his wife, Vastarie, were once friends with Mannimarco. Telecar was sealed with his ossuary after Vastarie disproved of him wanting to resurrect their deceased son, Calion, as a Flesh Atronach.

Background[]

Telacar was the husband of Vastarie, and they were once followers of Mannimarco. After their son Calion was born, they turned away from Mannimarco's tenets, hoping to live peaceful lives. However, Calion died at an unfortunate young age. Telacar weeped for what could have been, as he wanted to train Calion as his apprentice. He made a Flesh Atronach from Calion's remains, and hoped to imbue it with Calion's spirit. Vastarie sealed him into his crypt in 2E 461, hoping that he would clear his head and realize what he was doing.[1]

Dialogue[]

The Unquiet Dead

When first speaking with him:

"Who are you? Why have you invaded my home?"

Your undead servants attacked Mages Guild explorers. "The shades defend my home from thieves. Neither I nor my servants bear any interest in the living. My work concerns one who died long ago. And now, I would know why this creature travels with you."
It wanted to seal you away. "Simple-minded thing. Those wards haven't contained me for decades. I remain within by choice. Now, I'm at a critical juncture in my research and I need this creature to complete it. If you interfere, I'll drive you from my home. Now, begone!"

After slaying Calion's Husk, if "Eyes of Azura" has been completed:

"Again, you trouble me at a critical juncture? What must I do to hasten your departure?"

Tell me what you're doing here. "Attempting to restore my son, despite your interruptions! That creature is a piece of him, an imperfect piece. If I reunite flesh and spirit, I can revive my son."
Why are you doing this? "He's my son. I'd do anything to restore him to a fraction of himself. With refinement, I can make him whole again. Vastarie thought this hubris. If she hadn't left this world, I'd try to make her understand."
Vastarie has returned to Laeloria. "Truly? Then I have all the more reason. If I can get it right this time, we can be a family once more. I don't want to cause this creature harm. But the bone scepter was long ago hidden from me, so I must use cruder methods to control it."
I have the bone scepter. "You what? That scepter is crafted from my own bones. It can bind the creature to his immortal husk! Once Calion's wounds knit, I'll summon him here. You must bind the creature to his husk. Set things to how they should be!"
Why should I do that for you? "You fear I would raise an undead army to march through Grahtwood? My wife and I spurned Mannimarco for a reason. But in return for binding this creature to my son's husk, I pledge we will remain within our home, forever."
Why shouldn't I set your son's spirit free? "He was young when he had his accident. Too young. The creature you've met can't fully comprehend the world around it. Unless properly supervised, it could harm itself or others without knowing what it did. No, to set it free would be a cruelty."
How do I know you won't leave this place? "I broke through Vastarie's ward just under a century ago. I have remained here ever since, attempting to restore what remained of my family. I will never leave, as long as Calion remains at my side. This is my home."
Why did you use your own bones to make the bone scepter? "Calion is my son. I needed all his remains to craft the husk, so I had to use my own for the scepter. To command a spirit, use a focus made of its bones or those of its close relatives. Basic necromantic principle."

If talked to again:

"I won't beg, but I implore you to restore my son. I have waited so long for this moment."
