The Story of DaggerfallFate of the Emperor's Letter
From Morgiah of Wayrest you learn that the letter you're after ended up in the hands
of Queen Aubk-i, Gothryd's wife. Since the letter was addressed to Mynisera,
she's the right person to ask about it. Instead of inquiring with Mynisera,
one should start with someone of lower station.
The right person to approach is Cyndassa, the servant of Mynisera's. In
exchange for the information she wants a petty service performed for her -
a werewolf slain. When you return with a victory, she confesses to you:
It's dead then, is it? Poor thing. He used to be
my brother. If you ask me, he died long ago,
when he first got bit. He hated himself when he
became that beast. I wish there'd been another
way to help him.
I promised I'd tell you about that letter yer
lookin for, didn't I now? Of course, I remember
that letter, Qwerty. It's not every
day that you gets a letter from the Emperor
himself, especially seein' as the King ain't
too fond of him. 'Fact, that's the only letter
I ever seen from him. I give it to her majesty,
and she's all excited and she rip it open and
says "this isn't for me, this is addressed to
Mynisera." Then... boom! Her jaw fall open and
her eyes get real wide. She say she'll make
sure the Queen Mother gets it and that I don't
have to worry myself none about it.

"Her majesty" in this case stands for the Queen of Daggerfall - Aubk-i.
Now we know for sure that she got the letter that was meant for Mynisera's eyes.
Gotta run to Mynisera, tell her!
Here's what Mynisera tells you...
Good. I have long had my suspicions about
Aubk-i's loyalty to the emperor. She is a
daughter of the late King Cameron, who ruled
Hammerfell from his citadel in Sentinel.
My husband King Lysandus, Kynareth rest his
soul, died at Cryngaine, as did King Cameron.
Lysandus' body was not recovered, so he has
a monument erected there rather than a true
tomb. Ah...my mind wanders.
The emperor uses (courier) as his
messenger in Daggerfall. He/she could be anywhere
in the region delivering missives. However,
(courier) is a member of the
Knights of the Dragon. Go to (Knights of the Dragon branch office) in
(location) and ask for (Knights of the Dragon representative).
He/she may know where to find (courier).
Try to find out why a letter addressed to
me was delivered to Aubk-i.
|
After a fun cross-country chase, you confront the messenger... And finally learn the
truth.
Ho! You should be warned that I am a Knight
of the Dragon in the service of the Emperor
himself. If this is some ruse to ambush me,
you will surely not live to regret it.
Hmmm. Yes, I am (courier). This
signet ring proves that you are indeed in the
service of Mynisera. Some time ago I delivered
a letter from the Emperor addressed to the
Queen of Daggerfall. If I am not mistaken,
Aubk-i is Queen of Daggerfall, not Mynisera.
Tell Mynisera that I take my duties quite
seriously. I would never knowingly deliver a
missive to the wrong party. Queen Aubk-i gave
me this (jewel) in gratitude. Show it to
Mynisera so that she may know I am a loyal
servant and faithful to my Order.

As you sort of knew already, the messenger is the classic case of an obedient fool,
the kind who carries tasks out literally, never considering the consequences.
If you go to Aubk-i and tell her about the whole situation, she will play innocent:
|
The letter from the Emperor? Actually Qwerty
this is rather embarrassing. The letter was
stolen from me the same day I received it. I
never did read it. I have been hoping that
the letter would turn up, or the the Emperor
would send another letter. If you find the
letter, I would be most grateful if you would
let me personally deliver it to Mynisera.
|
Yeah, right. Never did read it.
However, there's a seed of truth in all this... The letter was indeed stolen.
