Dialogue[]

Scars Never Fade

"Welcome. What brings you to the Gray Mire?"

I'm passing through. "Then you're a wandering soul, much like our tribe was? Without the gracious Wood Elves, we would still roam Tamriel in search of a new home. Once the Dominion understand the depth to our gratitude, I'm certain they'll remove the barricades."

Can I ask you a few questions? "Please, ask me anything."

What do you think of the Dominion? "The Dominion capital is the Wood Elf city of Elden Root. The bulk of its armies are Wood Elf soldiers. I see no difference between the Dominion and our Wood Elf benefactors."

What about the barricades around your village? "The tribe's leadership will soon meet to discuss this matter. Some fear the Dominion plan to enslave us, as the Dark Elves once did. I hope to put this absurdity to rest. You're welcome to attend the meeting, wanderer. We have nothing to hide."

How did your tribe end up in Grahtwood? "We were slaves to Dark Elves for generations. When the Ebonheart Pact formed, we refused to fight beside our former captors. They called us traitors and banished us from our lands. We roamed Tamriel for years, and only stopped when we reached Grahtwood."

Why did you settle here? "We asked the Wood Elves here for temporary shelter. Instead, they gave us the Gray Mire! All they asked was that we work the land and set aside some of our fish. For this, we must always be grateful."

What is your role in this tribe? "In Black Marsh I was a tree-minder. I tended the Hist, the great trees of our people. Here I will become a spinner, to speak with the trees of Grahtwood. I will lead my people to Y'ffre, the Wood Elf god of the forest."

Why do you want to become a spinner? "We've always thought that without the Hist, there can be no hatchlings. But with Y'ffre's guidance, I will find a way. Think of it. Argonians native to Grahtwood, to our new way of life. Proud citizens of the Dominion which Queen Ayrenn hopes to build."

Conversations[]

Scars Never Fade

Uta-Tei: "Thank you for coming, all of you. We have all heard the grumblings. But if this is to be our home, we must end this talk of defying the Dominion." Slim-Jah: "You tail-lifting fool! Do we ignore the slave pen they built around us? This Wood Elf god you follow corrupts your mind." Uta-Tei: "Y'ffre can give us hatchlings, Slim-Jah. Peace with the Dominion is our only chance of survival." Slim-Jah: "While you whisper to trees, the Dominion measures our wrists for manacles! I cannot allow this." No-Fingers: "Slim-Jah, what are you saying?" Slim-Jah: "Uta-Tei, you turn our people away from the Hist. I sanction you for your heresy!"

<Slim-Jah murders Uta-Tei>

No-Fingers: "Slim-Jah, no!" Slim-Jah: "Hail Sithis!"
