…ine Commands of the Eight Divines - from the personal library of Hubert and Marisse may the Eight watch over them and their child, Alain may the Divines protect us all The Divines are a lie. There’s no one watching over us. Our baby is dead, the food is gone, and the bears are at my door. I saw Hubert killed right […]
A Daughter’s Journal - I saw Ennis this morning. He had the most peculiar look on his face. When I asked what made him smile, he said the mayor chose him for a special task. I’ve never seen him help anyone unless coin was involved, but he just kept babbling about how he’d volunteered because the mayor is such […]
Ancient Hunter’s Journal - 3rd Day of Hare’s Leap Thirty arrowheads made from aether glass and dipped in oil of mer’s bane. A bow shaped from ebonwood and strung with silken light. A poultice of ash and clay to mask my scent. 7th Day of Hare’s Leap The neighboring Lilmothiit have taken their kits and hidden themselves away. Such […]
Anonymous Torn Journal - strange piece of the floor, here, one that I can’t seem to puzzle out. I cannot but think there’s something more to this shrine than this simple chamber. I wish I had the gold to hire someone from the Mages Guild, but that ship has sailed. (Thanks, Arving.) Making camp for now. These cats love […]
Application of Flame for the Uninitiated - List of candidates for the Vosh Rakh and their reaction to the purging flame
Argonian Refugee’s Diary - We left Black Marsh in the midst of night so the Pact soldiers wouldn’t know which direction we are headed. No one is forcing us to stay but we don’t know how they would react if we told them that we are leaving. We don’t wish to swear allegiance to any of the warring factions. […]
Bazorgbeg’s Expeditionary Journal - Detailing an archeological mission into the frozen Dwemeri ruin of Rkindaleft
Black Kiergo: Primed for Peryite? - An Orsimer worshipper of Peryite comes to live in Senchal's famous slum
Cadwell’s Journal: Deep Thoughts, Part 412 - Author: Sir Cadwell Another bit of someplace else falls into Coldharbour and what do the Dremora do? What they always do! It’s a shame, really. Crush, kill, and destroy. So tedious! Oh, that reminds me. I need to go to the Everfull Flagon and visit with those drunken Nords. Tedious, yes, but they know some […]
Captain Black Sword’s Journal - A pirate captain captures a wamasu to gain Fortunata's favor Things inevitably go wrong
Captain’s Log of the Intrepid Guar - A captain and his crew are shipwrecked in a strange and deadly land
Cavot Agnan’s Breakthrough - A necromancer attempts to raise the dead with the help of Lucent Crystals
Commentary on Fate Dialectal - [Elydrina Nathriin’s dissection of Azandar’s thesis is swift and brutal, using efficient language across a scant few pages.] In conclusion, my pupil’s ideas are misguided, spurious, and utterly charming. Azandar has completely missed the mark with his scholarship, but has conveyed these concepts in an entertaining and engaging fashion. While this work is summarily rejected […]
Commodore’s Diary - We terrorized the Abecean Sea for more than a decade and now these witless ingrates lose their spines because we’re a tad outnumbered. “They need a miracle,” they say. Well, I’ll give them a miracle, all right. There’s power in these baubles of the druids. I don’t speak their old, forgotten tongue, but I know […]
Compiled Research - Entry 001 I have secured lodging in a House Indoril estate on the island of Gorne. And, while the island already houses an asylum for maddened wizards, the master’s of the house have assured me complete and total privacy as I conduct my research. The irony is not lost on me, but I hope that […]
Daggerfall Market Shopping List - Grocer—three blood oranges Tailor—crescent-emblem cloak Florist—black roses with thorns
Damar’s Ledger - Sold: Goat, 10 gold Winter grain, 30 gold Leather scraps, 2 gold Trades: Red wine for Yanurah plus 10 gold Bought: Goat, 2 gold Red wine in cask, 50 gold
Dealing with the Recollection - Narsis Dren enlists millitant Bosmer to help him excavate an Ayleid ruin
Debonaire’s Captain Log - Mutiny is in the air. Doubt in the Commodore creeps through the crews ever since he got us into this mess. Rushing back here to divide our plunder instead of splitting off in different directions to evade our pursuers. A greedy man’s blunder. He claims he’s got a plan. One that will make us unbeatable, […]
Deciphered Imperial Document - Deciphered coded message from Leovic to the leader of the Waking Flame
Diviner’s Journal - I am blessed. To find my calling at the time when it is needed most is sublime. That I might join this cause at the precise moment it stands to achieve its greatest victory isn’t simply fateful, it’s destiny. The woman I divined in my dreams has come to us, and the purity of her […]
Dour Lady’s Captain Log - Every sailor has their charms to help keep them afloat on the uncaring sea. I’ve seen a sailor wear a lock of his lover’s hair around his neck to keep his head above water and I always tie my ropes starboard-side first. But those twisted idols and barnacle-crusted books have no place on a sane […]
Drakeeh the Unchained’s Journal - The journal of a Blackheart bandit leader tells of their hierarchy and a betrayal
Dranos’s Diary - A Morag Tong assassin decides to worship Mephala directly and joins the Silken Ring
Druid Senna’s Last Account - The Firesong, they’ve come to kill us. This may very well be the last record of Druid Senna. It’s not my best work, but what death letter is? My instincts served me better than my poor friends and family when the Firesong attacked. I watched their lives extinguished beyond the boulder that hid me from […]
Duchess Elea’s Investigation Notes - Curious. The Systres Guard report that routine banditry across High Isle seems to be declining. They believe that some new bandit chieftain is recruiting followers from the island’s outlaws. I directed Steward Hercian to look into it. Banditry across High Isle has resumed, at a completely intolerable level. These outlaws are now better organized and […]
Duttard’s Journal - Laugh at me, will they? “Just fanciful tales for the sake of embellishment.” My eye! Only fools and pedants left at the Bards College! Next they’ll say the Dwarves never existed at all! — Blackreach is real. It must be. You don’t hear tell of great Dwarven caravans clamoring along on their clanking machines. How […]
Egg-Tender’s Journal - Contains details on how eggs are cared for in black marsh, as well as tribal politics
Emerald Eye Mage’s Journal - Lord Nabayir is determined that Mahtelah follow after her mother. He moved her to a suitably remote place, the Motalion Necropolis. No one will notice one more unusual tomb door unless they look closely, so we should not be disturbed. I have inscribed a map to the area for my own reference, as locating a […]
Famia Mercius’s Journal - The main quest giver for Murkmire tells the DLC's story and gushes about the player
Fanlyrion’s Journal - Another dead end. Of course. It’s not enough that I infiltrate Ceporah Tower, that I bluff my way into the Ritemaster’s personal library and find the mouldered scrap of parchment. It’s not enough that I scrape and claw my way into this realm of books and monsters. I’m at the ritual site described. Where the […]
Fera’s Journal - Author: Fera Day 103. My sisters and I just claimed our largest haul to date. A military vessel carrying the High King’s gold thought it could safely sail the Abecean Sea under the cover of a storm. What a foolish mistake. And they never had to deal with the masterful navigational skills of the Systres […]
Find the Lodestones! - Tear apart any vessel still afloat. Half-built, falling apart, never floated. Doesn’t matter. Have the thralls pull up every board until they find the lodestones. If any of the thralls die, put them to work with the rest of the bloated deaders dredging the harbor. We have orders to take every lodestone we can find, […]
Finimi’s Domicile - Only the Sisters may enter this dwelling Place a sacred tanna leaf on the plinth nearest the island’s center Place my good sister’s shawl onto the plinth where the knight’s sword never rusts Place the traitor’s lignite coal onto the plinth where animals die Cursed be the traitor’s name
Finimi’s Spellbook - While my fellow pirates in the Systres Sisters have their talents, we would never be successful without my specific expertise. I am a master of the arcane, a mage of no small accomplishment. How else could we escape pursuit and overtake larger vessels time and time again? This collection of spells represents my life’s work. […]
First Mate Dalmir’s Log - Departed Vivec City on the morning tide, bound for Sadrith Mora. A fine morning to set sail. Made port at Sadrith Mora and took on a cargo of muck sponge. Took on passengers at Firewatch. Prelate Faram and his aides, who observe a vow of silence. Strange group, all with scars that indicate they suffered […]
Firuin’s Journal - Galithor has let me down for the last time. I told him to meet me on Balding Hill so we could leave this backwater and build a new life. He never came. I tried to explain, but he doesn’t understand how much we could learn out there! That there is so much more than the […]
Fisherman’s Journal - Day 57: I’m so glad I asked the spinner to build me this hut. I can dangle my feet off the edge and fish as much as I want. My cousin will be so jealous. Day 58: The fish here are thriving! I have more than enough to eat. Not only because of the number […]
Freiwen’s Diary - Mother asked me to go speak with Wilgin today. His sawmill keeps the town alive in a lot of ways, even during the times when it’s bitter cold out. She believes I should learn more about how his operation works. This is all part of her belief that I’ll take over her duties when I’m […]
Gabrielle Benele’s Journal - Benele has found something she believes will turn the tide for the Lion Guard
Gamwyn’s Journal - I parted ways with Rigvar and Irgnar some time ago. They were headed northwest toward a ruined tower. I’ve heard of an ancient relic in the ruins nearby. There seem to be some Worm Cultists around. Shouldn’t give me much trouble. I’ll try for it in the morning.
Garlas Agea Construction Log - Gold Coast Trading Company workers attempt to disarm ancient Ayleid traps
Gwenengith’s Journal - DAY ONE So, I’m here in Gonfalon Bay. I’ve been working for a day now as a banker at the Cautious Coffer. Aside from the usual things you’d think get stored in a vault, we ended up with several weapons in need of repair, quite a bit of poison, and a goat named Rooftapper. Charlebert […]
Hammett’s Journal - Last Seed 1 We made it to the Valley of the Forefather at the start of Last Seed. This is good. There is more glory to be gained when the Warrior is ascendant. Last Seed 4 We have managed to light the braziers and defeat Ysmir’s champion at the gate. It was a memorable battle. […]
Head Jailer’s Journal - Day 732 More trouble with the Green Serpents. I hate those bastards. I’ll send another request to House Mornard for a battle of knights to support us. Not that I ever expect them to arrive. Day 738 Word has come to me that some of our jailers have been amusing themselves at the expense of […]
Hears-the-Wind’s Note - Meet me in the back of Greenstone Caverns. I assure you, security won’t be a problem.
Heiruna’s Journal - Of all the groups I thought I’d run into during my travels, the Dragon Cult never even made the list. It’s positively laughable. One would think it was impossible to be so delusional, and yet here they are, plain as day. I tracked them to their hideout of sorts. They call it Dragonhome, but it’s […]
Henri’s Journal - I don’t know what I did to deserve this assignment. I thought war was supposed to be exciting. All we’ve done since arriving in this frozen wasteland is wander around like commoners touring the arse-end of Skyrim. And that Valcent gives me the shivers. Why does Owen bend over backwards to please him? We found […]
Hjurring’s Last Seed Journal - 10th of Last Seed – No interments. No visitors. 11th of Last Seed – One interment. No visitors. 12th of Last Seed – No interments. No visitors. 13th of Last Seed – One interment. No visitors. 14th of Last Seed – Two interments. No visitors. 15th of Last Seed – Four interments. No visitors. 16th […]
Hlaki’s Journal - It is nearly done. Lodorr is sealed in his tomb. One task remains. I must prepare a cursed ward that will cause the dead to rise if the prison is ever breached. I’ve ordered the tunnels sealed behind me. This shall become my tomb, as well.
How Long? - It’s been weeks. Months? They say that time flows with demented cadence in the realms of Oblivion. When I get out of here—if I get out of here—the world will have moved on. I pray that, however much time has passed, my husband and the residents of Whisper Grove remain safe. It would be a […]
Hubert’s Diary - Author: Hubert We came to mine… We saw bears and were trapped… The food is running out… Marisse didn’t make it.
Indirim’s Journal, Assembled - A Summerset marine's chronicle of observations about the sea sload invading Summerset
Initiate’s Last Sight - An initiate of the Blind Path reflects on their experience with the Darkshard
Jeirmun’s Work Log - Explorers are attacked by pale, undeathly Orcs while exploring the Dwemeri ruin Rkindaleft
Jewelry Crafting Survey - Information on where one might find various resources required for jewelrycrafting
Jofnir’s Journal - I’ve done all I can. For now, I’ve salvaged what I could of the situation. Took a few relics as trophies. I should be back out in the light soon enough. I can put these lessons to good use the next time I visit Ragnthar. The Dwemer constructs will set watch, keep the place safe. […]
Journal of a Fallen Officer - An undercover narcotics enforcer becomes an adict, the vows to get her rank back
Journal of a Scorned Lover - Dear Journal, Last night, my whole life changed. I know that you’re thinking: “Quenten, you’ve been in this position before.” But this is different this time. On this I swear! One night of passion. That’s all I wanted. I’m not a fool. I heard of Jakarn’s reputation—and his predilections. The master of midnight, with warm […]
Journal of Arrai - 29 Sun’s Height I know not what force drags us up from our eternal rest, but the call cannot be denied. I did not study the Daedric Princes much in life, but bound to them now in death, I regret that. Maybe if I knew more, I could save us from this terrible duty. Whatever […]
Journal of Habbert Unsinett - Journal of a Hermaeus Mora devotee and his quest to preserve knowledge
Journal of Legionary Jucanis - A bored legionary's quiet post in the West Weald is overwhelmed by Bosmer
Journal of the First Remnant - For those who collect knowledge in service of our lord, the history of the Remnants is poorly documented. We are not scholars inclined to write down every thought, nor curators who quietly organize collections in obscurity. The Remnants are soldiers. Swords and shields that serve the will of Hermaeus Mora. However, if we are to […]
Journal of Tsona-Ei - Tsona-Ei recounts the conflict between the All-Flags Navy and the Sload of Thras
Journeys In Galen: A Scholar’s Travels - A traveler wants to find the Druids of Galen, or their protectors
Kaarat’s Journal - They’ve made no demands or given any hint of what their goals are. I’ve tried to get a look at their leader, a large Nord, but he always has his face covered.
Kerthor’s Supply List - I need to remember to pick up a few essentials the next time I get over to Windhelm or Fort Amol. 4 new axe blades 8 new handles, oak 4 sharpening stones 2 heavy shirts, gray 2 pairs of boots, black 1 cask of mead, Voljar’s cheapest 1 barrel of apples, no worms 1 box […]
King’s Haven Territory Record - As the settlement grows, it becomes necessary to kick out the natives
Kiv’s Journal - Thought that little village would be a bust. Then I ran into the Lady Jourvel. Pretty young woman from High Isle. Set up a date at the inn to talk about “art.” Thought she might have some decent jewelry, but haven’t noticed anything expensive. I did see that she wore a signet ring, though. Not […]
Kiv’s Notes - Notes on people from all over Tamriel. Bangkorai: S near Halcyon. Likes to pretend she’s roughing it. Wayrest: JL reeled in. Ring? He knows quality. Ready for brush-off. Wayrest: Pretty little rich girl. Sapphires! Likes art. Not stupid. Need to string her along to get that necklace. Belkarth: Goldleaf. Travels with coin. Maybe hide goods, […]
Klaandor’s Journal - The blood-curse burning through my body matters not. Nor do I regret my coming demise. I regret only that I will never see Vyctorelle again. At least, I pray I never see her again. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – As my will weakens, I think […]
Kynmarcher Strix’s Journal - Curse the Prince of Secrets! I now see that my task in Bastion Nymic will be neither swift nor simple. Countless nymics are preserved within these walls, but only as intangible thoughts. To access them, one must go to the right place within this vast maze and command them to manifest in visible form. A […]
Legionary’s Journal - Captain Siro is arguing with that woman from the Cult again. It’s a shame, seeing command shackle the captain with a “special envoy.” A spotless record for years, then one little loss and the Tharns come down like a hammer. We’re Imperial soldiers. We don’t need babysitters.
Leimaer the Raven’s Journal - The Konunleikar continues, if such a name could be given to the celebration of a false king. The Stormfist clan participates in this farce so I can deliver my lord’s message to the cursed Jorunn … and so I can see his face as realization sinks in, like a dagger in his heart. While I […]
Leonce’s Journal - I can’t believe how much gold Northpoint is willing to pay for a few dirty Orcs. Just a few more days, and I can go far away and spend my earnings in peace. In the meantime, I convinced our coward of a mayor to mobilize the Fell’s Brigade, giving me all the power I need […]
Letter from Duke Nathaniel - To His Royal Majesty Emeric, High King of the Daggerfall Covenant, My Dear Brother, As always, there are several items of note, some related to the security of the kingdom and others of a more personal nature. Please read this privately, and I beg you to exercise discretion in discussing its contents with your advisors. […]
Life in the Eagle’s Shadow - An Altmer loves, then hates, then fights the newly founded Aldmeri Dominion
Log of the Intractable - Two weeks out and no sign of the so-called “Renrijra Pirates” or the Brotherhood of the Sakkr-al-Behr. It is my belief that while the Ra Gada have been successful in raiding along the coasts, they would not dare to sail upstream along the winding and unmapped rivers and waterways of Shadowfen. The Redguards are, essentially, […]
Logbook of Druid Anwas - Day 1 I, Anwas, faithful servant of King Kasorayn, have pledged to maintain the record of our journey away from High Rock. While we are not people given to permanence—neither in home nor history—I believe that such a voyage deserves the honor. We seek to establish a new dominion. A place where druids may thrive […]
Logbook of Druid Betrys - Day 1 I, Betrys, Druid of Galen and follower of King Kasorayn, have pledged to maintain the record of our journey to find a new home. I made this promise to Anwas who believed in preserving the story of our exodus and discovery of a new land for the druids. At one time, I served […]
Lord Bacaro’s Journal - At first my rage at the failures on High Isle and Galen knew no bounds. I had set up everything for success. The alliance leaders should have died at sea, but they were too stubborn. And my Magus failed to kill them at All-Flags. If Lady Arabelle’s champion hadn’t killed the fool, I would […]
Lost and Dusty Journal - Semkur wagered a week’s salary that I couldn’t spend a night in this place. Nearly swallowed his whiskers when I said I’d do it. The tomb is sealed behind me. I thought I heard someone’s voice, but it had to be Semkur trying to get out of the bet. It is a little scary in […]
M’zum’s Journal - It seems these moon-sugar thieves grow bolder. M’zum simply does not understand it! He has posted guards at the cellar entrance, hired mercenaries to patrol his farm, questioned and re-questioned every farmhand that remains. And nothing! Perhaps these Redhands have played him for a fool. It would not be surprising if they are behind the […]
Magister Irin’s Notes - I told Mirise that I would look at some of the more scholarly students’ writing on enchanting wood for shipbuilding. This area of study could be quite fruitful, given the archipelago’s seafaring culture. However, I think her insistence on pushing her students into this field, and her repeated queries to me about arcane treatments for […]
Malofar’s Journal - We found it! Just where the map described it. The legends say that a group of giants came to this land long ago and settled in these caverns. It is the perfect place for me to continue my research and experiments! To think that those fools in Skyrim were frightened by my work. How dare […]
Martha’s Journal - Something is amiss on the island. Ever since he came back from looting that Nord ship, the Captain has walled off the Inner Haven to all but his original crew. No one in the outer camp knows what they brought back. The Captain’s methods have grown brutal since then. I had always heard Captain Blackheart […]
Master Healer Viralaine’s Notes - An unfortunate development has occurred. Roslenn discovered the laboratory. I had no choice but to sedate her with a large dose of the subject’s blood. I’m simply too close to success to suspend my experiments now. While the circumstances are regrettable, Roslenn’s case may provide new insights. To date, I have administered diluted doses of […]
Master Shelreni’s Notes: Torvesard - The Dremora Torvesard came to me with an intriguing proposition more than two years ago now. He promised to fulfill my lifelong ambition to become archmagister and rule over House Telvanni. All I had to do was pledge my service to Vaermina, the Daedric Prince of Dark Portents, and all my dreams would come to […]
Mathias Raiment’s Journal - 2nd of First Seed For a moment today, I glimpsed something which I had not even dreamed possible, a love so forbidden that I did not even recognize my own feelings. Even now, I must wonder… that look, was it just my imagination? 10th of First Seed Again, that elusive impression. As we walked together […]
Mathor’s Journal - Saw a strange light out over the water last night. I’ve seen the auroras do some strange things, but never anything quite like this. Corpses washed up on shore. They were dressed strangely, as if they were from far-off lands. I have no idea where they came from. Tillrani said to send them on to […]
Matthiaume’s Journal - Saint Ellenica’s prayer book is here, but so too are the thrice-damned bandits. As if Rivenspire didn’t have problems enough! Even I am no match for swarms of bandits. I retreated here to tend my wounds and write these words. The bandits wait for me to die. I fear not, for I have Arkay’s protection. […]
Mel Adrys’ Journal - I’ve only been in the area a short while but already find both Skyrim and the Reach almost unrecognizable. In all my years of opposition to the blight, I have never seen vampiric corruption on this scale. I will record my observations here so that they may be useful later on. For myself or whomever […]
Meln’s To-Do List - 1. Add more summoning circles in the courtyard. 2. Servants could be spies. Dismiss them. 3. The door leading to the portal in Tel Rendys Hall is sealed with a ward of my own creations, a destructive resonance. Dispel switch deactivates the ward. Remember, it’s disguised. Use ghost sight lens before touching anything! 4. Banish […]
Mercenary’s Scorched Journal - … took this job. Bazorgbeg sent us to our deaths. I think I’m the last one. The Dwarf things didn’t follow me in here, but it’s so cold. * * * Leaned against a big tube. The whole thing shifted. There were lights, then steam. At least it’s warm, now. * * * I can […]
Merien’s Incantation - Note to self: My four fondest memories are the new words of power for the table, as of 7 Sun’s Dawn. The Mages Guild. My wife Amelie. My birthplace Camlorn. My son Tamien.
Mezhun’s Field Journal - 17th Frost’s Fall Today Mezhun observed several Horker-Tusk tribesmen engaged in what he thought was a disgusting practice. They gorged themselves on boar meat and then forced themselves to vomit the food back up into their bowls. This one was truly shocked, however, when the riekr then traded bowls and ate their fellow tribesmen’s vomit. […]
Might as Well Die Fighting - Going to die here. Damned Goblins. They caught Miari and Tullias while we were exploring the ruins. Jumped us, didn’t even know they were there. Goblins dragged them both to the fires, spitted them and roasted them. Didn’t think the buggers ate cooked meat, maybe just torturing their victims. Miari screamed forever. Ran up the […]
Mine Foreman’s Log - Day 746 Another day at the Triple Circle Mine, another half gold in my pay. But I digress. My workers are good men and women, devoted and hard-working. That’s why these continued stories of strange sounds deep in the mine are beginning to trouble me. Tesa brought me a tale today that I would have […]
Mirah’s Journal: The Salvage - (Due to water damage, many of the entries in this journal are barely legible.) If Mirah had coin for every time a smoothskin had a map and a dream, she’d never have to charter her ship to fools for scraps again. Today, a treasure sniffer by the name of Gallus begged every sailor he could […]
Miruin’s Journal - Day 2 Baron Montclair’s put me in command of an expedition to the Erokii ruins to search for some ancient relic for Reezal-Jul. Some old Ayleid thing called the Tear of Anurraame. I just hope it’s bigger than a real tear or we’ll never find it. Day 9 Or is it day 8? Or day […]
Mojha is a Fool - Mojha is a fool. What does it matter that the Dragons are not gods? Are they not godly enough to command our worship? If it will spare this one the whip, this one will bow and scrape and labor for the great lizards. Do not approach this one again. He will betray you to save […]
Moldy Journal - 14th Second Seed Raining again. One wonders why I did not bring proper supplies to this place. Supposing the Bosmer who lived around were anything more than savages was a mistake. 20th Second Seed Assistant has gone missing. I expect I’ll find her body in the river, if the hoarvors don’t find her first. A […]
Morian Zenas Cell Note - I did it! Safety at last and a place to sleep whenever that finally happens. It’s been three years, but I’m sure I’ll get tired eventually. The keepers here say that I’ll have to be housed with the other beasts. Something about their great bubbly lord not wanting me to think I’m important. The other […]
Mustn’t Forget - If that’s all that’s left to me. I cannot leave it behind. If I make others as I have been made, it shall be an heirloom of my new house, my new family. But I must protect it, it must be hidden. What if I forget where I hide it, if the changes affect my […]
Mysterious Ore Notes - The ore appears to remain somewhat cool to the touch, even when left in a warm area for some time. Is this somehow related to the Ice Wraiths discovered in the western chambers? Did they affect the ore, or were they attracted by it’s existing effects? Requires further study.
Na-Kesh’s Journal - A power-hungry Tree-Minder explains the powers of the Hist sap found at Mazzatun
Naanurrel’s Logbook - The storm has lasted four days now and the Gale cannot withstand its battering waves. I fear we will lose the ship and all hands in these heavy seas. I cannot condemn my son to a watery grave, so now I must do the unthinkable. Long ago I learned from an ancient sailor the ritual […]
Narsis Dren and the Lost Notebook - A "famous" explorer find trouble in a Nordic burial far from Skyrim
Nedras’ Journal - There’s nothing left for me here. Sister and I have tried so hard to make a life, but Gendinora is getting sicker by the day. No one is willing to hire a “cannibal Elf” from the southern jungles. Damned idiots, everywhere. Giants with malformed ears and breath that stinks of cabbage. I keep promising Gendinora […]
Nettira’s Journal - When we originally spotted this ancient Dark Elf tomb, I knew I had to explore it. I was hoping that my cousin, Grundskar, would have accompanied me, but we got separated when our Fighters Guild troop scattered. I made it past the front door, but stealth was never really my strong suit. I didn’t expect […]
Nicolard Lia’s Journal - An explorer stumbles onto ancient Nedic ruins while searching for a place to sleep
Nine Commands of the Eight … - From the personal library of Uggissar and Diala—may the Eight watch over them and their child, and may the Divines protect us all. The Divines are a lie. There’s no one watching over us. Our baby is dead! Would that Uggissar had gone to debtor’s prison rather than let us end like this in some […]
Nishzo’s Journal - The agent I hired finally found Palhadi and got her talking over drinks. Her drunkenness always was the most reliable thing about her. The information helped me finish a list of my associates and their current locations. Once this cough clears up, I’ll track them down. Some alchemist tried to tell me it’s the flu, […]
Northern Heartlands Journal - Entry 55 Tomorrow looks to be a perfect day to climb the cliff behind the house, bask in the sun, and read a good book.
Notes of Lovirithel the Sage - A researcher explores an Alessian-era temple to Sithis on the coasts of Blackwood
Notes on Bewan - Just southwest of Dawnbreak, I’ve found the perfect place. An old Elven ruin open to the sea. We can run small boats right into the place, and smuggle the arcana off the island. Don’t even talk about this near the Archmage. He’ll take the coin right out of our fingers.
Notes on Klathzgar’s Schematics - Translating everything in this ancient Dwemer workbook would take a lifetime, but after scrutinizing each page, I have discovered some tantalizing clues. It seems Klathzgar was building a very special centurion as a gift, or something similar. Of greatest interest is the name “Uurthehnchenthyalft,” which would roughly translate to “Urenenya.” This means I have definitely […]
Notes on Shornhelm’s Cisterns - Shornhelm’s substructure includes many interconnected cisterns, a honeycomb of pocketed caches which is connected to every potable well within the city. Many of them leak into each other as a consequence of age and shoddy craftsmanship, but only one distributes water on a grander scale! This cistern is referred to as the master source, as […]
Oiarah’s Journal - I’ve been posted to Aldcroft. It’s nice to have a proper camp, near a proper town. Berouche still makes us drill every damned day, but what can you do? I’ve been speaking to the mages that are sharing our camp. They can be extremely interesting. They know a lot about the history of the area […]
On the Discovery of Relic Fiends - Reflecting on the fall of the Knights of the Silver Rose and the failure of Azura to protect her champions
Onri Murien’s Hidden Wishes - I wish I’d never left my family to travel with him. I wish I had enough gold to buy a nicer home. I wish he loved me as much as my last husband. I wish he noticed how nice the flower bed looks. I wish he’d die.
Other Things I Hate - -Pickpockets who crouch to pick pockets -That awful residue left by smoke bombs -Sloppy killers who don’t clean their knives -Stupid people with stupid hats -Stupid people -Stupid hats -People -Hats -Thick windpipes that dull your knife -Pirates -Pirates in stupid hats -Pirates in pantaloons -Chub loon hats -Chub loons -Chub loons in stupid hats […]
Page from Mender’s Journal - The harpies seem agitated. Could the manor’s affliction be affecting them as well? Or does their aggressiveness have another cause? Recovered suitable harpy feathers, but lost my gloves somewhere around here. Headed back toward manor when I sighted a strange black hound in the woods. Don’t think it saw me, but I had to retreat. […]
Page from Sun-in-Shadow’s Journal - I’m sure I have seen the same swarthy looking fellow near my home several times. Could a rival be trying to spy on me? Perhaps news of Ralasa’s death has traveled? It pays to be cautious. I will talk to my friend, [Player Name], as soon as possible.
Pale Creatures with a Taste for Flesh - An adventurer goes hunting for the Falmer, and unfortunately finds them
Passenger’s Log: Disaster at Sea - Day Seven The warm waters of the Eltheric Ocean have given way to the cold embrace of the northern coast of High Rock. This region isn’t fit for anything but Orcs and horkers! The shores of sandy beaches have given way to crags of ice and snow. And why in the world are we sailing […]
Rayno’s Scorched Journal - … overgrown, fur-coated Nord! He has offered nothing but insults since we arrived. We will never be treated as equals here, never! No doubt the Bleakers fled here as no civilized folk would put up with their stu …. … et again! For the sake of my family, I have withheld my temper and my […]
Remnant of Prisoner’s Journal - They made no demands, gave no hints of their goals. I tried to get a look at their leader. He’s a tall man, well-muscled, and carries an axe. He keeps his face covered.
Reynila’s Journal - TYRANITE CALX The metal is an interstitial alloy used in the production of Dark Anchors, infused with soul gem fragments and trace other components I have no wish of knowing. By way of a soul magic ritual, Sondivel shapes it into malleable bands, affixed on wrists or ankles. Like weakening the barrier between Nirn and […]
Rhanbiq’s Notes - Entry 28 Nicolas certainly passed through the area, but enough time has passed that few remember the details. “Bellulor would know,” is what everyone tells me. Apparently they mean Bellulor Chatterbreak, some gossipy pickpocket who comes in here to cadge drinks. But not since I began asking around. He must think I’m with the local […]
Rilyn’s Journal - Day 58: I saw her in the market today, bringing light to my gloom. Barely spoke to her before her mother rushed her away. Not sure what I did to offend Frifhild; hard to tell with Nords. I think I saw more bruises. Day 60: She’s sleeping beside me, both drunk on wine, couldn’t be […]
Saradin’s Diary - From the Diary of Saradin, Daughter of High King Durac My father and Virmaril spent another day and most of the night in the catacombs beneath Skyreach. They share a fascination for the dark arts, but sometimes I wonder if their friendship isn’t too complicated. Father bears such a burden as the Nedic High King, […]
Scrap of Adubaer’s Journal - … separated from the others. Can’t let them escape. Disable the devices, perhaps? Too close to fail now. Even if it means this one’s end as well, Morantor won’t get what he desires. The secrets will die here with us ….
Scraper’s Journal - This place is a wreck. Orgvar said we’d find treasures down here. He thinks this place must have been an old Dwarven factory or something. Most of us on this venture don’t really care whether it was one way or another. We just want to get paid. Excavating these tunnels is a huge pain in […]

Sealed Letter - Asks the player for their help in finding Dragonguard lore to help banish the dragons from Elsweyr
Second Scrap of Adubaer’s Journal - … to be off the ship and back on land. The sea is not for this one. Night falls and we make camp outside Bthzark. The others are wary but suspect nothing. Finally, something to hold above Morantor’s head, to make him squirm. To think he did not even recognize his former slave. Reminding him […]
Seeker Manadra’s Expedition - A bodyguard's journal, describing an expedition into the lands beyond Fargrave
Silverslip’s Journal - ENTRY ONE A Redguard approached me today about a job. It concerns Song. I was suspicious, but a little curious, too, so I said I’d hear her out. She said Song’s family is alive and well, and is desperate to make sure she’s safe. Apparently, Song left home on bad terms and they want me […]
Snorfin’s Notes: Arkngthunch-Sturdumz - All right, I’m pretty sure that there’s a component that crazy Barilzar wants in the locked Dwarven chest in the center of Arkngthunch’s final chamber. The active furnace vents are a problem, though. Every time I try to get close to the chest, the fire burns and keeps me back. Looks like I need to […]
Solitude: A Charred Journal - Transcription of an old journal supposedly filled with historical dreams
Sondivel’s Journal - I’ve finally done it. The metal—tyranite calx—is malleable with the right application of heat and magic. The bonding causes more irritation to Argonian scales than to salamanders. Still, when under my influence, the subjects don’t complain of the inflammation or irritation whatsoever. Under my latest series, my subjects are completely suggestible, bright and eager to […]

The Blessings of Jone and Jode - I am most blessed. Most blessed to see the miracles of the Divines with my own two eyes! I envy the bishop.

The Bounty and the Shields - This Journal Belongs to Julia Runellius Father told me that if I were to travel and fill bounties, I needed to keep a journal of my activities. He handed me this blank book and told me to fill it. I’m not much of one for writing, but I’ll honor his request as best I can. […]
The Grand Sermonizer’s Journal - The Ceremonizer desperately wants to question a member of the Dark Brotherhood
The Never-Woven - Entry 1 Is it worth my eroding sanity? Knowledge, endless knowledge, as long as I’m willing to seek them out. Every fate teeters on a precipice, a threshold where they might be made, or not. We make our choices and the strands of what we choose to do, the way we choose to follow. Fate […]
The Proving Festival - A personal description of an Akaviri festival by a citizen of Hakoshae shortly after its founding
The Purities of Mania - I will not sign my name to this treatise, no, no, no, no, no. But I am compelled to write down the wonders I have seen and felt in my time in the Shivering Isles. The mania that overtook me was an open maw I both feared and was drawn to. A whirl of madness […]
Tidefall Cantos I - i. Midway through a dreamless night, I awoke upon a wretched beach. And, though the tide was black as ink, it did not stain my skin nor did it ruin my clothes. As I stood up and spat ink from my mouth, I was startled to find I had no memory of traveling to this […]
Tonight Was the Night - Tonight was the night, and it was as amazing as I had imagined it would be. It was inevitable, I suppose. Fate. My handsome, pale stranger. We met. We touched. His hands were so cold. Deathly cold. For a moment, I almost pulled away. But only for a moment. Then I moved closer, drinking in […]
Torvesard’s Journal - Memory is fleeting, inconsistent. Hence, I have decided to take up quill and ink in the manner of mortals and record my thoughts. In case what I fear has occurred in the past happens again, Oblivion forbid. * * * I have always been filled with glorious purpose, even if the specifics of that […]
Trapped in Ebon Stadmont - I was a fool to ever come to this forest. I thought myself clever, powerful, unwavering, but through my many years of isolation I now see the truth. I was headstrong. Proud. So very, very foolish. And I’ve suffered because of that. I’ve been trapped within this forest for decades now. Trapped within the past. […]
Tree-Minder’s Journal - Something strange happened to the dreugh today. They’ve become hostile, so I asked Gerent Saervild Steel-Wind to help me determine the cause. I asked if anyone has disturbed our reliquaries, but he assures me the relics are safe. Gerent Saervild Steel-Wind and I will set out to investigate what caused this sudden change in their […]
Ulrich’s Complete Journal - I never wanted to lead. They just started following me because I’d been in the Lion Guard. As if that made me some sort of hero. Finding Silaseli was pure luck. I tried to keep to myself, but they followed me fleeing the Reachmen. They want me to scare away every half-witted bandit who tries […]
Unnamed Mining Journal, Page 45 - 28 Sisei Today at bottom, summon a fire atronach to explore. An amazing thing. Fire lake bubbles and rises when summoning cast. The mountain even shakes to match atronach’s movement. I think they talk to each other. This place is not safe. Too much fire magic makes Shadowgreen angry or something. No worthwhile ore, but […]
Valasha’s Journal - I still can’t believe we’re alive. I’ve never seen a city like Abagarlas. The horrors I witnessed there are etched into my dreams. We do live, though. I have my Ostarand, and we have the crystal. That’s all that matters. – – – – – – – – Since entering the Dwarven city, Curano has […]

Volrina’s Notes - They call themselves the Berne Clan, the bastards! They got my brother, but they didn’t get me. I’ve been watching from the shadows as these fiends feast. Some of these horrors are nothing more than beasts, devouring the life-blood of everyone they find. But some are curious creatures—curious about the constructs that still inhabit Galom […]
White Rose Guard’s Journal - 12th of Frostfall The prison has been on high alert for days and the prisoners are on edge. They keep asking me what’s going on but I don’t even know myself.

Your Final Warning - I hope you’re still alive. Because I am not. Well, I won’t be in mere moments. My first of these warnings began with disdain of cliche. Writing the final note as blood seeps from my belly fulfills the worst of these tropes. Apologies. Just run. Go back to the beach. Spend the rest of your […]
Yves Grandvache Ledger - Florentino, please be sure to pass these notes around to the others. I haven’t the time or the inclination, our crimson-loving friend requires a great deal of attention. VASTYR We’re temporarily stepping back from the normal operations here in Vastyr, the contract with Redblade is too important. Leave enough staff at the parlor to ensure […]
Letters & Notes
A Cyrodilic Merchant’s Lament - Curse the Pact and its stupid rules! And curse that stiff-necked Dark Elf protector at the temple. You’d think we were offering to urinate on their precious Elder Scroll, the way Vodryn shrieked at us to get out. Is offering quality goods at a fair price now a crime in Cyrodiil? True, there is some […]
A Death Desired - At last I am here, treading the sacred ground of the Golden Hill. Long have I dreamt of a journey to Sancre Tor; my heart’s desire is granted at last. To see the place of Reman Cyrodiil’s birth and final rest, to set my feet where he might once have stepped—I will not sully my […]
A Letter Home - Author: Swallows-Cats-Whole I know this will never reach you. I’m writing this note in a cage. I’ve been held captive for months. I think they’re planning on attacking Shadowfen. I miss you and sister. Love, Swallows-Cats-Whole
A Letter to the Mayor - —out of Velyn Harbor immediately!

A Sister’s Regret - Ruelde writers to her brother in the Dragon Cult, telling him of the drastic things she's done
A Warning to Those Who Follow - How do notes like these always start? In the adventure stories, the dying author begins by gravely stating their name and how they arrived at their deadly situation. “You may call me Gibberil, and I arrived at my fate through the cruel winds blowing me to my doom,” or some such nonsense. I’ll be honest. […]

Barelzar and the Daedra - Amado Where are you? I figured out the damned puzzle to unlock the door on my own, without your so-called “puzzle sense”. I guess you are loitering in a tavern in Molag Mal, flirting with Dark Elf women. Again. Or passed out in the corner of the tavern, clutching your tail for comfort. This gate […]
Black Dagger Recall Orders - Duilius, Report to me at once. Do not wait for your replacement. Tell your troops to stay in camp until she arrives.

Blightcrown’s Notes - The censer of corruption is a masterpiece! Who knew that combining the stuff of dreams with a malignant sickness into a infectious torment could create something so powerful and useful? The guardians of the Infinite Panopticon have succumbed to the corruption emitted by the censers. Not only does it render us invisible to them, but […]
Blightcrown’s Orders - Keep the censers burning to infuse the chapel with Peryite’s blessed breath, but use care. Do not exhaust our supply before we find what we seek. Question the keepers stricken by our Prince’s favor. Where is the relic? Where is Prior Durdryn’s tomb? What other secrets hide in the catacombs? In their fever, they should […]
Blood-Soaked Letter - Mabkir, Bright Moons, my love! J’zuruk gathered the troupe last night and pled our case. Nuzulaza and Hanilar yowled like ja’khajiit, but in the end, our friends decided your freedom was more important than a new wagon. It will take some time to gather the coin, but this one knows she will see you soon. […]
Blood-Spattered Love Note - I can’t wait any longer for your presence. At night, I dream of you—the small of your back, the little dimple on your chin, the way I seem to glow when you look at me.

Pay homage to each aspect of the Great Eye and […]
Chastisement from Zimmeron - General Dar-Liurz, I placed you in charge of our bounty program to encourage our warriors to seek out and kill more of our enemies.

Cloudrest Secret Entrance - Idiot, Now, this is a heist. We have to be a tad sneakier than your average citizen. So when you enter Cloudrest, do so through the old passageway. I’ll make sure it’s unlocked for you, don’t worry. -D P.S. – Don’t leave this note on the ground for just anyone to find. Remember what happened […]
Coded Missive - Our Prince is unsure of which tomes will best illuminate the path. Certainly the Lord of Secrets, in all his pride, will have locked this secret away in one of the powerful tomes kept within the Sidereal Cloisters. We should task a cipher with retrieving all possible keys. Soon enough our Prince will remember what […]
Communications Between Nilphas and Thoryn - Nilphas, Writing notes back and forth in a ledger. Great idea! Anyway, a Dwarven spider is making a racket in the west wing.

Correspondence from Torvesard - Master Shelreni, Your efforts in Alavelis have been noticed and appreciated. Soon we will have a door into Apocrypha that even the Great Eye will not see.

Dear Escort - Dear [Player Name] If you’re reading this, you’ve finally caught up to me. As I was translating the stone before you, a door opened ahead. I waited for you, but I can’t risk the door closing. Just read the inscription on the stone, and you should be able to follow. I think you’ll find it […]
Death is No Laughing Matter - To whoever bound a skeever’s soul to a senche-tiger cadaver and let it burrow into the mammoth corpse for a lark. I’m going to make it gnaw you to pieces when I find you.
Death to All Mages - As I stood over my child and felt the heat seep from her body, I knew one thing and one thing only—this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for Twelvane. That abomination said her magic could cure the wasting sickness poisoning Javalla. She promised me that her potion would ease Javalla’s suffering. But it didn’t. […]
Deathbringer Orders - Protect the Anguish Gem. That is your primary responsibility. No: that is your only responsibility. When the last soul has been consumed, send word to the Reaver’s Citadel and we will send someone to collect the gem.

Directions to the hidden book - Someone clean up that mudcrab! It’s starting to stink up the place. Check with the Shaman first though, he may have use of it; however, last time he saw a mudcrab he freaked out and squeeled like a little girl. Why does the captain keep him around? Such a suspicous man.
Directive To Centurion Bodenius - Centurion Bodenius, I read your reports on the difficulties you’ve encountered discerning the secrets of the tombs in the anterior area of the temple, and I am well aware of the number of soldiers who have been killed in the process. Nonetheless, you will not abandon the effort under any circumstance. Somewhere within those tombs […]
Disciplinary Action - Quoril, Your burdensome assistant keeper has repeatedly hounded my rangers for opportunities to assist with their duties and applied for yet another transfer to ranger detail.

Dominion Military Recruitment - General Marenil, On behalf of the Dominion, I applaud your efforts in supplying troops for the war. You have confirmed my confidence in you.

Dreadsails Communique - Captain Silengos, The sea lord forwards new orders. You and your crew are to suspend operations north of Y’ffelon and sail your vessel, the Slithermist, with haste to Amenos. Establish a base with all due speed and await further orders. Note that sailing near Amenos is extremely treacherous. Breton patrols and well-hidden shoals demand absolute […]
Dreadsails: Threat to the Isles - Alielle To the Commander of the City Guard, I didn’t want to write this. I thought we’re all sensible citizens here.

Dres Message - Alam, The time for secret names is over. The Morag Tong will find you, if they haven’t already. I just hope this message finds you first.

Dusk Captain Zenfis’s Orders - Dusksabers, Master Shelreni has erected a new arcane barrier to ward the entrance to the tower of Tel Baro.

Note, only those of you authorized to enter the tower, of which there are precious few, will need […]
Dusksaber Report - As instructed, I mustered a company of Dusksabers and established a camp at Tel Rendys. We soon discovered the missing magister’s defenses are still active and quite dangerous. We can’t take three steps in this place without attracting the attention of angry atronachs. A quick survey revealed: Magister’s Tower: sealed. Stables: ruined. Servant Quarters: nothing […]
Egg-Tender’s Unfinished Letter - Tseedesi, I should have taken you up on your offer, egg-sister. Even that little smudge of a trading post would be a welcome escape from all the fuss at home. Things are more frantic than usual this year and it seems as though all eyes are upon the egg-tenders. I’ve barely had a minute’s peace […]
Enzamir’s Note - Doubted me, did you? Well, this note is all the proof you need that I beat you both to the top. Next time you see me, prepare to pay up! I was surprised to find this sword up here, though. I believe it belongs to Blademaster Sai Sahan, though I’m not sure why he would […]
Euraxian Necromancers - To: Lord Gharesh-ri, Speaker of the Mane From: Khamira, Agent of the Speaker We know that the Usurper Queen employs necromancers and dark sorcery, and has done so from the beginning of her reign.

Fanatic’s Orders - Keep watch in front of the temple. We need time to accomplish everything she asked of us, so make sure you pay attention to anything unusual.

Farangel’s Delve: Further Orders - You’re costing us too much coin. H. is getting tired of the expense of keeping all this cargo in a warehouse. Because you’ve also been somewhat less than discreet, we don’t want you to stay in that hidden cave for much longer. To be honest, we don’t think you’re doing enough to keep that cave […]
Ferone’s Instructions - Glad you’re interested, Ferone. If you recover the map fragment from Stonelore Grove, I’ll pay you honest gold for the effort. The druids shouldn’t cause you any trouble, but it’s wild out there, so watch where you step. Bring the fragment to me at the Dufort Docks.
Final Words - Crawled out of cave. Can go no farther. Egg-brother Bosekus was right. Should have moved with him to Cropsford.
Firuth’s Writ - This is to formally request that the Argonian Hireling, Sun-in-Shadow, be given the rank of Retainer, of Great House Telvanni.

For Captain Telomure - Telomure, If you’re reading this, you were crazy enough to follow us. Don’t. Justiciar Avanaire isn’t working alone. These mages were waiting for her. Even with the entire squad, I’m not sure we can survive. But, for crown and country, we must try. We need you alive to make a report. Don’t let her get […]
For Mathal - Nephew, If you’re reading this, then your uncle is dead. I thought the score we needed to get out from beneath Rakhad was in Dune. I was wrong. I thought the moon-sugar and skooma was an investment. I was wrong. Mathal, he will not stop with me. I’ve left the house to you and your […]
For My Love - Maxten, I fear that there will always be a part of me that loves you. Perhaps that makes me a fool. And perhaps someone stronger or smarter than me would have left you sooner. Someone else might have seen you for what you really were before falling in love with you. But here I am […]
For Your Next Celebration - To: Duchess Elea Dufort, Castle Navire As the anniversary of the ascension of House Dufort approaches, I thought you might like a bottle of your family’s favorite wine. I know how hard these are to come by. May you raise a glass to your house and to your father’s memory. And long may House Dufort […]
Forged Letter From “Zali” - Sweet Maormer Prince, My cheeks grow warm thinking of you, but our love cannot be! I’ll wait where you saw me last. Hurry, before I change my mind! — Zali
Freshly Penned Note - Rilos, Nerandas requests a meeting. Usually I would send Nisimal, but a case of gout has rendered him useless. Given that you are his deputy, the task falls to you. Make haste to the wharf east of town and find out what troubles our friend. Nerandas insists on total secrecy so you must use a […]
Frirhild’s Journal - Eislef suspects but doesn’t know. No telling what he’d do. Rae found my pipe but didn’t know. Told her it was one of Eislef’s. Running low, might try moon sugar if I run out. Every time Eislef sees that Elf he yells at Rae. Not her fault. Can’t help herself. I can’t help her either. […]
Frog Stealing Plans - Helane, Got word from an associate about a Redguard merchant staying in Vastyr. Says his name is Munubra and he’s come all the way from Hammerfell with something real special. A dragon frog. Seems this sandpiper sees the frog as some sort of business partner. Can you imagine? Now, I know you can’t tell a […]
From the Journal of Balver Bemis - Llaro Ralas is the worst excuse for an Oathman I have ever encountered. He is abusive, frightening, and arrogant—even by Telvanni standards! Last week he chewed me out in front of Spellwright Varsva and I had to stand there, head down and meek as he heaped abuse upon me. And then he struck me across […]
From the Regent of Fanged Fury - Mighty Inazzur, Please continue your efforts in eastern Craglorn. With the help of the Iron Orcs, the Scaled Court will soon have control of the entire region. And remember, your resolution and steadfast loyalty will be well rewarded. —The Regent of Fanged Fury
Galidor’s Scribbled Note - Innkeeper, Despite my many protests, rascals continue to congregate outside my door. I know criminals when I see them. ONE of these ruffians, a snot-nosed youth with shaggy red hair, seemed particularly set on sowing MISCHIEF. Take care of it, or I might have to take matters into my own hands. Galidor
General Serien’s Orders - Your job is support. Ahknara and her team will approach from the east. — General Serien
Get Back to Work - You see this? This is what happens to mutineers. I’ve got my eye on you rabble. Keep your damn mouth shut and do your job or you’ll end up like these fools. Get back to work.
Get it Done, Conele - Author: Serien I don’t care how you do it. I don’t care if you have to invade that mud-hut pigsty next door and enslave every Argonian there, get it done! That heart is the key, and I will not fail in my mission. And neither will you. – Serien
Glenumbria: Alessian Orders - To all Alessian Soldiers, The Direnni believe they have the advantage. They are comfortable in their camps and secure in their victory. They have lost focus. Word has reached us that the Direnni will launch a major assault in the coming hours. When this happens, we will send our Alessian scouts under the cover of […]
Glonnir’s Letter - Author: Glonnir Bremril, You won’t see this letter, but I had to write something. Elphirion’s decided it: a sacrifice to stop Malgoth. Madness or martyrdom? The storytellers will decide. I guess in the end there’s the desire to confess. I should’ve spent less time in the forest, hunting, or in my cups. I should’ve been […]
Graverobber’s Note - Gilradil, Be a dear and search this crypt if you would. That’s a good graverobber! It’s rather dark and dreary down there, and I’d rather not get cobwebs in my hair. Besides, I’m paying you well to recover relics, heirlooms, and other such valuables. I’ll be at the camp. Bring whatever you find to me. […]
Gray Host Orders - My beloved kin, I have no words. Tzinghalis is dead. His killers have retreated to the shadows. Doubtless they mean to harry us in our righteous labor. Already there are whispers of them seeking to stop the spread of the harrowed. I will not abide any further threats to our goal. My family will be […]
Green Serpent Bounty - Reward for anyone who brings the three nobles lost in the jungle to me. Alive. The Ascendant Order has promised pardons and a way off this miserable island—even for the banished. And don’t even think to try to approach the Order directly. They only deal with me. If you let these nobles slip through our […]
Hidden Kindred Instructions - My fellow kindred, As the Supreme Plague Master of our glorious order, I command you to follow these instructions to the letter. Bring the Pestilential Lord’s implements to Firewatch and meet me at the harbor. We will complete our journey to Necrom aboard the merchant ship Stormwing. Make sure the vials containing the holy miasma […]
Hildune’s Secret Refuge - Our scouts have located another potential hideout—though Hildune’s secret refuge isn’t much of a secret anymore. Hildune was spotted going into his well. Instead of coming out wet, he emerged with mined materials. Our scouts convinced Hildune to go away and never return. A search of the well showed us that Hildune discovered a long-abandoned […]
Hizrabi’s Report - Captain, As you asked, I’ve taken a closer look at the old ruin north of Do’Krin Monastery. The lunar clergy has some kind of “proper” name for it, but the local commoners just call it Claw’s Strike. Why is it called that, anyway? Didn’t your sister say something about an old battle with the Wood […]
Hlaalu Construction Syndic - Having Hlaalu construct Balmora and Suran on Redoran's behalf appears to have been a mistake
House Dres Order - To all brothers and sisters of House Dres, We are on the verge of a great victory over our hated rivals, House Telvanni. Yes, we have mutual business relationships that keep profits flowing, but our current operation at Ald Isra will reap benefits for our house for generations. Unfortunately, word has reached us that an […]
Hubert’s Notes - Mashana—do not leave Wind Keep! We came to mine … bears and were trapped …. The food is running out …. Marisse didn’t make it.
Ilasaba’s Excuses - Ilasaba didn’t make it to the party because she feels superior to the rest of you. Your sense of style offends this one. And your food tastes like moist sawdust. However, Ilasaba is too much of a coward to say this out loud, so she shall always find some reason to be busy and not […]
Ilessan Tower - B. Loot as much from Ilessan Tower as you can. We need resources to take to our new allies. We will have the big house north of Deleyn’s Mill—Noellaume Manor—by the time you’re done. Flank the Daggerfall guards when you get here. — T
Imperial Incursions: Officer’s Lament - An assignment to Black Marsh is punishment for one legionary
Increased Bandit Activity - Headwoman Harrani, While this one understands the guard is needed to help Mistral recover from the storm, cessation of regular patrols has led to increased bandit activity along the roads. One can hardly step away from one’s stall without being accosted by ruffians. If it is not bandits, it is harpies driven inland by heavy […]
Ingfred’s Work Order - Lizard, Time for you to learn prospecting. Go to the areas we talked about. If you find anything that seems promising, take some samples and bring them back to me here in Dusktown. Don’t forget where each sample came from! A bonus goes to whoever finds a good seam. With luck, you might just buy […]
Instructions for Lothnarth - Lothnarth, You need not interfere with the slaves. The guards I’ve hired will see that they remain productive and have food and rest when needed. I want accurate logs of production each week, so that I can see if my experiment helps the mine keep producing at optimal levels. No one should bother the crystal […]
Invitation to the Kinlady’s Conference - An invitation to Kinlady Avinisse's mansion to talk about politics
Kennel Tender’s Letter - Father, I have found work in Wrothgar, not terribly interesting but it pays well enough. My employer is a beatmaster they call Eofryd Durzog-Whistler. She’s a little eccentric. She has a natural talent for taming beasts, it’s obvious, and I think she likes them better than she likes humans. As far as I can tell […]
King’s Haven Trade Record - What the settlement gives to the local tribes, and what it takes from them
Kinlady’s Letter - Kinlady Avinisse thinks that the Aldarch's plan of locking up foreigners is brilliant
Knight Ondrisse’s Orders - Knight Ondrisse, Within the next few days, several ships will be damaged on the approach to High Isle. We expect wreckage to wash up in Loch Abhain or along the northeastern shore of High Isle or the southeastern shore of Amenos. Capture any survivors from these ships and bring them to me. Muster all reliable […]
Knight Richel’s Orders - Knight Richel, Tomorrow morning a wagon escorted by two Society of the Steadfast retainers will travel to Steadfast Manor from the docks at Castle Navire. Take your knights and set up an ambush along the road. You are to kill the two retainers—a man named Grenier and a woman named Danise. They have seen things […]
Kurlash’s Orders - Sergeant Kurlash, Do exactly as I say and tell no one. Take this crate of weapons to the dock northeast of Dro-Dara plantation. Leave it and return immediately. The pickup is not your concern. — General Godrun
Last Words of Gordianus Fortunatus - An ironically named man laments his fate at the hands of the undead
Leeza’s Bloodthorn Report - Esteemed Leader, Our camp, in the clearing set between where the water spills from Mire Falls, has already achieved exciting results. Not only have we intercepted a dispatch from Aldcroft, but we’ve also captured a Lion Guard scout! If we wait long enough, perhaps King Casimir will wander in and surrender! —Leeza of the First […]
Legionary Ulrath’s Report - The last of the Legionaries stationed at Fort Hastrel reports of a Daedra attack
Lerineaux’s Concerns - Captain, Martin continues to press us for details. I continue to tell him nothing. We’re very deliberately staying out of the Bloodthorn’s path. Whatever they have planned, we can’t afford to be tarred by that brush. Meanwhile, Lerineaux continues to work at the supply chain. We’ve identified a quartermaster in Wayrest with a drinking problem, […]
Letter Concerning Tredecim - Noble Sovali, I humbly ask your understanding for sending this letter of request directly to you instead of through our chain of command. We have a request of some urgency that doesn’t have time to flow through the typical administrative channels. As you’re aware, I’m engaged in a long-term operation to extract information from the […]
Letter for Vittoria - Vittoria, Saulinia’s assassins got me in the gut. Found a place to hide, but don’t have long. Check the well. Hid a key in the bucket. Unlocks cellar door in the stable. That’s your way to Calo and the rest of the Irregulars. I always loved you.
Letter from a Prison Guard - Dear Yatrela, So how’s my favorite sister doing? Still trying to impress that overblown braggart who dares to call himself king? I know you say you’re happy and that you love the horker, but I don’t know what you see in him. Kurog couldn’t polish the shield of our chief, and I know that you […]
Letter from Ajim-Jaa - Mach-Taeed, I need you to take a second away from your carvings and really listen. As your egg-brother, it’s up to me to look after you and make sure you don’t fall into trouble. And I can’t think of any bigger trouble to avoid than that Shadowscale who calls herself arbitrator. She may seem docile […]
Letter from Althen - Turenn, After so many years of lying low, I thought they had forgotten about me, but it seems that’s not the case. The Ring of Daggers is still after me and they’re closing in. One of their agents is asking questions around Moira’s Hope and I need to escape. In the short term, I am […]
Letter from Aurelia Jourvel - Dearest Izzy, Thank you again for your kindness, your friendship, and the push out the door. I’ve had ever so much fun! After leaving High Isle, I visited a little town in Stormhaven and took some painting classes from a well known still life painter (yes, I have been painting again). I decided to go […]
Letter from Azandar - From the Desk of Azandar al-Cybiades, Sanctum Sanctorum, Skywatch, Auridon, Tamriel, Nirn Salutations and good tidings, cohort! I’ve been ruminating on our adventures at length and felt inspired to pen this missive. Consider, if you will, history. Those of us who read into the historical record at length are often confronted with the strange ebb […]
Letter from Camarino - Dearest sister, Just like we thought, Father was the one stealing the loaves from the cupboard. Mother yelled and yelled, and we laughed and laughed. We would have laughed harder with you there. Get well, little sis. Auri-El watch over you. — Camarino
Letter from Chill Hollow - Osa, I followed the rumors and found the cave. It’s a chill hollow within the rock, full of ice and who knows what else. The legends of treasure must be true as well. I can feel it! Soon, I’ll have enough gold for us to buy the farm you always talk about. Then we can […]
Letter from Clan Mother Tadali - Clan Mother Hizuni, No doubt you heard that the Dragons have been unleashed. They seek others of their kind in the deep places of the world and have even released the Demon from the East. We both knew this day would come, and we both know what it means. The Demon from the East must […]
Letter from Cyrus V. Nasby - Most Honorable Sirs, I am writin to you so as to relate that which I came upon, havin traveled then in Bangkorai and heard sech rumors as can hardly be believed by ears and bein that which reason cannot rightly accept nor admit, lest the eye behold it firsthand, as mine have. To wit, that […]
Letter from Dannic - Ancalmo, You won’t believe this. That bumbling Jahadar actually found the skull. It’s being held in a cave south of Longhaven. I still can’t believe Malangwen managed to lose it just after we took it in the first place. I’m making her come along with me to get it back, with Jahadar to lead the […]
Letter from Deesh-Jee - Claiming the Skald-King’s axe. Good for you. I’m sure it will make an excellent trophy. Also tells me that these nobles are more important than the Ascendant Magus let on. But why don’t we have the other two nobles in our hands yet? Get out there and find the others! The Magus doesn’t accept excuses, […]
Letter from Druid Laurel - [Player Name], I find myself in need of capable help in these unfamiliar lands. Your name was mentioned to me as someone who might be a good candidate. Time is short. I’ve drawn my location on the back of this letter, please meet me there as soon as you’re able. I promise I’ll find a […]
Letter From Ember - Hey, This is going to be a sappy letter. Sorry. I keep saying I’ll stop getting all emotional around you but you’re the one who keeps doing nice stuff for me! So really, this is your fault. Anyway, it’s been really nice having Jhaka and Silverslip back. I thought it would feel strange now that […]
Letter from Gad - Boss, I understand that those ridiculous pirates helped get us started, but they’re no help at all at the dig site. I almost wish they weren’t with us at Fauns’ Thicket. I’ve had to send the workers back to Vastyr a couple times now because of drunken brawls. They kept getting offended because we were […]
Letter From Isobel - My friend, That day we met outside the tourney grounds was … well, it was a turning point for me. I was so full of anxious energy, like when you’re at the beach with too much sun and saltwater taffy. Until you came along, all quiet and confident. You made such an impact on my […]
Letter from Julles Laurdon - My dear Kiv, I cannot wait to see you again. As I promised when last we met, I have found a necklace fit for you. A rather elegant ruby. Red is very much your color, I feel. To cement our bond. I wear the gold pendant you gave me every day, close to my heart. […]
Letter From Karpu-sa - Honored Clan-Mother, The roads are dangerous of late. Bandits attack without fear of reprisal, and harpies, driven to roost by the storm, strike without warning. These developments have driven this one to hire a pair of mercenaries. Both are hardy walkers, so please triple this one’s order this month. Please, do not worry about protecting […]
Letter from Lady Arabelle - [Player Name], Your name was passed to me by a mutual associate as someone who could be trusted to get a job done. I am desperately in need of just such a person. Meet my agent, Jakarn, in your alliance capital. Offer him your assistance in a matter of vital importance to all of Tamriel. […]
Letter from Lenwe - Son, don’t worry. I know you were scared when you went down there, but everything will be all right. Your friend from down the road just got the salve yesterday. Maybe he’ll be joining you soon? I know you wouldn’t want him to get sick, but I’d feel better with someone watching out for you. […]
Letter from Leramil the Wise - [Player Name], Fate has selected you to aid me in a perilous situation. Know that the future of at least two worlds hangs in the balance. The Lord of Secrets, Hermaeus Mora, has foreseen that only with your assistance can I save Nirn. Meet me in Stormhaven and learn more of this dire threat. Leramil […]
Letter from Lyris - Communique from Lyris to her partner in Solitude, about the plan of the Ice Reach Coven
Letter from Minique - We tried to smuggle in some Springwater wine to help bolster your spirits. The guards took it from us, though. Don’t worry: As soon as you’re out of there, we’ll throw you a great, big party. Drinks on me. — Minique
Letter from Mirudda - You shouldn’t have to be reminded of our agreement, but this one seems to find herself in a position where she has to. We haven’t had any fresh travelers through here for weeks. If we don’t have travelers to ambush, we don’t get any gold or valuables, which in turn means you get nothing. You […]
Letter from Oleenla - Egg sister, Rain strikes stone as I write this. Thunder echoes, yet no lightning arcs the sky. A strange sort of storm, to be sure. We had hoped to make the pass at Mud Tree, but weather and hardship have forced us through Alten Corimont. I had not hoped to write until Hissmir and am […]
Letter from Paheiza - Nurhei, No matter how many times the mire-gnat bites at the crocodile, he continues on his way. So it is with your threats to myself and my egg-sister. Yes, I have debts to you, but my means of producing gold will not quicken by intimidation alone. I need but a little more time. Keema-Ru knows […]
Letter from Queen Euraxia - Instructions for dealing with Abnur Tharn and gaining entrance to the Halls of Colossus
Letter from Ragna - Yrna, Life at Tal’Deic Fortress never gets dull! In my previous letter, I told you all about the Dremora that replaced poor General Redoran. Well, now I’m practically running this place! Oh, the Skald King continues to send me specific agendas to promote and messages to deliver, but Captain Doronil has turned to me to […]
Letter from Sharp - I dreamed once that I was a river flowing wild across untamed land. I spread, searching for direction, but every direction was no direction, and I ran dry. That’s what it was like searching for who I was. That’s why I stopped. Sondivel took so much from me. My home. My family. My free will. […]
Letter from the Governor - My dear Lord Jarol, I look forward to our next meeting. I have always enjoyed our working relationship, and I am ever so grateful that you have agreed to allow us to use the secret chambers beneath your estate for a conversation that needs to remain extremely private. Our guests should arrive promptly by the […]
Letter from the Reformer - Deredrien, Welcome to the operation! Any and all past involvement with Reynila is, of course, forgiven. Do as I ask and you’ll have your debts to Harn Orenvi wiped out in no time. I’ve arranged for a few of my mercenaries to meet you outside Necrom. From there, lead them to Reynila’s campsite. Per your […]
Letter from the Skald-King’s Agent - My trusted contact, The information you have provided so far hints at a terrible threat not only to Skyrim, but potentially to all of Tamriel. My liege, Jorunn the Skald-King, wants to stop this threat before it grows in scope and power, but I need more details. I need proof to convince the authorities in […]
Letter from Tillrani - Rana, I’m tired of the excuses. Yesterday’s training exercise was shameful. When I was in charge, we never had these problems. I think Rolunda would make a better soldier than some of these milk-drinkers! Get them together. The Pact is depending on us. — Tillrani Snow-Bourne
Letter from Vetitia Marcott - I swear to you, sister, this time is different. That fool Lindres traded access to the funds of an entire merchant house to pay off his debt. We’ve secured a small amount of gold already, enough to contract with the Oathbound Clan for some muscle. We’re making plans to follow the money back to High […]
Letter Home - A letter from the Drothmeri Forgemaster's apprentice to his lover Found in the Mehrunes' Razor official plugin
Letter of Understanding - Ren-dro, As requested, I’ve included a full listing of the security accommodations that will be in place during your visit to Riften next month. Now stop your complaining. I’m serious, this is the last time I submit to one of your ridiculous demands. You milk-drinking cats and your cowardice. Stuff your moons up your arse. […]
Letter to a Scoundrel - Darius, You have ruined my life. You gambled away my mother’s ring and now I find my dearest father murdered by your butchering friends. I cannot bear this any longer. I know that Accalia will never let me leave, so I am getting out the only way I know how. May you rot in your […]
Letter to Abbot Kulan-dro - Reassignment to the Temple of the Seven Riddles shouldn't be considered a demotion
Letter to Akash - My Dearest Akash, The services you and your tribe have provided are invaluable to my cause. Who but the Wood Orcs could unearth so many remains so quickly? Aside from the Altmer, of course, but they are blind and would move to stop me rather than help. And your construction of the altars matched my […]
Letter to Alma - Alma, Stay strong on the Shadowed Path, my heart. Perform your duties for our lord and obey my orders. For now, this is your lot. You must not rise too swiftly in our ranks, or favoritism will be cried out by the others. Volcatia especially is watchful, slit-eyed with suspicion and jealousy. Curb your impatience […]
Letter to Ando - Ando, Gelves just gave me a bloody earful. I don’t know where you disappeared to, but you should have been with me to bear the brunt of his tirade. He says to ease up a bit on the townsfolk. We’re supposed to leave them alone for a few days, let them get a little less […]
Letter to Artisans Craftworks - Gendyn, I know you’re busy, big brother, but I still haven’t received the shipment you promised me! Please send my order as soon as you can or we’ll have nothing to sell at the family shop. Anyway, I can’t wait until I get up to Mournhold. I want to see this wonderful forge you wrote […]
Letter to Baloth Bloodtusk - Mighty Baloth Bloodtusk, I received word that your brother has fallen against my forces at Orsinium. It is a regrettable thing, and know that my grief is sincere. If only he had knelt to a worthy king, he would be feasting and drinking beside you. I know you will agree that if anyone is to […]
Letter to Belya - Belya, Your services are required in Cheydinhal. The rebellion is bearing fruit. You must be our eyes and ears. Take no risks but hasten here. — Iocundus
Letter to Betra - Betra, I hope the trip to Fort Amol goes well and that your business there concludes quickly and profitably. I miss you so! Please, please, please try to make it home in time for my birthday. That would be a most excellent present! The Konunleikar is in full swing and I’ve never seen the city […]
Letter to Bhoki - Egg-Sire, I seek no forgiveness for my foolishness, despite your many warnings. By the time you read this, I have already gone to the Path of the Lily. I either saved the novices from Mewah-Jez’s stubbornness or I have not. Either way, I assume I have been taken captive and scheduled for punishment. All because […]
Letter to Calahawn - Calahawn, I must firmly decline the invitation to join your magical misadventure. Appealing to Hircine to aid you against “all the Dominion” is insanity, not to mention gross overreaction. It’s always dangerous to nudge the shoulder of a Daedric Prince. Why further doom yourself by relying upon a patchwork band of sorcerous fools? I don’t […]
Letter to Captain Helane - My Dear Captain, It appears I missed you at home. I did, however, have the pleasure of meeting six or so of your men. Tough as they appeared, I’m afraid they simply couldn’t hold their liquor. I do hope to make your acquaintance again soon. I really need to thank you for what you’ve done […]
Letter to Captain Lerisa - Captain Lerisa, I see little point in this exercise. What good can come of the crew listing lost possessions? Will Deregor suffer without his lucky dice? Will Haerdun languish without his illustrated Lusty Argonian Maid? I slave still to scrape together enough gold for a ship, let alone the trivialities the crew lost on the […]
Letter to Captain Oghul - Hail, Oghol. I just received your letter from the post in Alinor. To answer your question, yeah, the trade’s been good since the Elf-Queen’s mandate. Better than good. These Tall Elves are a pompous bunch, but gold’s gold, and they pay better than most. That said, sailing around Summerset’s no roll in the daisies. I […]
Letter to Councilor Dolvara - Additional oversight is required in Balmora after unfortunate events there
Letter to Cynhamoth - Ah, fair Cynhamoth, how you flatter me with tempting gifts! You know I’m watching my waistline, but still you send me buttered scamp knuckles. (They were delicious, by the way!) —Sir Cadwell
Letter to Danier - Danier, Our shop’s outside Wayrest (to avoid city taxes). I hope they won’t find us. Go to Sentinel, where it’s safe. —Matilde
Letter to Deredrien - Deredrien, Mevei insisted I ask for your help. I’m desperate and tired of you not responding to my letters. I’m slipping this one under your door so I know you got it. We’re camped across the river from the old Sailenmora outpost, heading north across the road between two boulders. Help us, and Mevei and […]
Letter to Dockmaster Arnauld - Dockmaster Arnauld, As per our arrangement, here is your payment for your continued assistance and discretion. It is imperative that you direct official attention away from salvage operations on High Isle until we have finished our work at the Shallows. You may find yourself tempted to look deeper into our business, or see whether we […]
Letter to Dorbin - Dorbin, Thank you for accepting this most urgent mission. The college will be in your debt if you are successful. I hope the advance we gave you is sufficient. Report to me at the Bards College in Solitude to pick up the disguise. And please, be as discreet as possible. Leiborn
Letter to Egranor - Egranor, I know. You said never to contact you. But what happened at Quendeluun … I didn’t sign up to be a traitor. The Heritance in bed with the Ebonheart Pact? It flies in the face of everything I believe. You must report this. I can only assume that Earran has taken a more extreme […]
Letter to Elistrenne Starflower - Dearest Elistrenne, New hideout is all set. It’s in Deshaan, in the Forgotten Crypts. Yes, the place you tried to talk me out of. Find the key enclosed. I’ve had a problem with past contractors who allowed keys to fall into the wrong hands. Keep it on your person, will you? Not rattling around in […]
Letter to Estre - My Dear Estre, It pains me to know of your opposition to Ayrenn. While I can see your view on maintaining the purity of the Summerset Isles, I cannot disregard the importance of what our queen is trying to do. As I have a close relationship with both of you, I am unable to take […]
Letter to Evrien - Evrien, You soulless, gold-gouging son of a horker! When I see you next, surround yourself with bodyguards or I’ll strangle you and let the Bloody Hands feast on your remains. Tripling your transport fees is outrageous. Our present need forces me to pay, as you well know. But when order is restored to Cyrodiil, I’ll […]
Letter to Fadeel - You try my patience, Fadeel. Huzal hungers, but we have seen no “fresh meat” for days. Have you forgotten the terms of our arrangement? I expect to see at least one foolhardy wanderer per day. If you cannot deliver this … well, it wouldn’t be very difficult for Huzal to track your stench across the […]
Letter to Firilia - Firilia, It’s been … ages. I’ve failed. I know it. Even now, I write in this and know your eyes will never see it. I got the medicine. As promised. The one thing I ever managed to do successfully for this family. And I return only to find that Falinesti is no longer here. Would […]
Letter to Geldrion - Geldrion, Next time, don’t hide your gold in a stupid barrel. Any old fool could come along and take it. I took your gold to the bank for safekeeping. That’s what banks are for, you know. Didn’t mother teach you anything? I didn’t want to lug the shield along, too, but it’s not like anyone […]
Letter to Grand Warlord Dortene - Grand Warlord, I agree with your decision to retain control of the Elder Scrolls. The scrolls are needed for the war effort, as you say. Handing them to the Moth Priest would only result in them falling into the hands of the Dominion or Pact. I have had temple guards escort Belenius away from the […]
Letter to Grand Warlord Sorcalin - Grand Warlord, Though it makes me uneasy, I concur with your decision to retain control of the Elder Scrolls. Our troops need the boons the scrolls provide. And turning them over to the Moth Priestess would be tantamount to handing them to the Pact or Covenant. While I revere the scrolls and honor the Moth […]
Letter to Grand Warlord Zimmeron - Grand Warlord, The Moth Priests’ plea galls me. Don’t they know there’s a war on? They cannot expect us to hand over the Elder Scrolls we worked so hard to obtain. You were of course correct to refuse the Moth Priest who is plaguing us. I sent Pavonius away from the temple and gave the […]
Letter to Haladan - Dear Haladan, How good it feels to write you again. I apologize for the long gaps in our correspondence. The trade ministry set an aggressive schedule when Queen Ayrenn sent out her decree, leaving me little time for personal matters. I’ve spent most of the last month at sea. Now it comes to it. I […]
Letter to Halakaku - The disappointed owners of an Elsweyr Kwama mine want to offload it on another unsuspecting sucker
Letter to Hanza - Hanza, Your goats won’t shut up! I understand why you asked us to deliver them for you. We saw Imperial troops nearby and sheltered in the cleft where we once played as children. We should have let the goats go free. If these beasts continue bleating, though, we shall be discovered. We’ve killed the loudest, […]
Letter to Headman Bhosek - I demand that you take immediate action against the traitorous “Captain Helane” and her band of Sea Drakes! They have held the island’s only lighthouse for over a year now. In that time, 18 ships have run upon the rocks. I have no doubt that Helane is sabotaging the lighthouse to wreck these ships, leaving […]
Letter to Herminius Sophus - A letter warning against an expedition to Makela Leki's final resting place
Letter to Imwyn - Imwyn, If you’re reading this, then I’m probably dead. Dead, or we’re laughing about this together around a fire. The Stormfists caught me out in the open. I managed to find this copse. I found a tree to hide beneath. But I don’t know if I’ll make it out of here. Listen, you were wrong […]
Letter to Irm - Dearest Irm, Today Ingfred the Tall had another job, so I’ll be down here a little longer. He wanted me to look for ore samples out in some caverns we haven’t surveyed. I had to be careful he didn’t follow me. I think he was hoping to “accidentally” run into me out here, skeever scum […]
Letter to Jakarn - All right, sweetmeat. After this favor we’re even, yes? For now, anyway. Tu’heiba travels with her coterie to Darkpool Mine, a sulfur pit far to the west. You should hurry, though. This one does not know how long she plans to stay there. See you around, lover-boy, N
Letter to Jakild - Dearest Cousin Jakild, How’s that husband of yours? Still treating you well? And his annoying brother, Kerthor? Still annoying, I’m sure! Are there really enough trees in that part of the tundra for you to make a decent living? And the weather, are the days as gray as the ones in Windhelm? I hope you’re […]
Letter to Lady Sulima - My darling, Our time together has restored a broken spirit and a wounded heart. Your kindness reminds me what it is to love again. I know my travels can cause strain between us, but it is all in our best interest. One day, very soon, I shall complete my travels and my work. At that […]
Letter to Mirudda - Fewer and fewer travelers are using the roads thanks to all the recent trouble. There’s no one to send up your way. Please, give me some time. I have a plan to start trying to send them from the cities. I need a few days to actually get around people though. Just keep that slimy […]
Letter to Mouth Vabdru - Vabdru, I must say I was disappointed by your last letter. A mouth must keep the politics of Ald Isra from interfering with their master’s more important work. If I must address the frivolous concerns of my rivals, what purpose do you serve? If they continue to insist that I am in fact doing something […]
Letter to Norasea - Dear Norasea, My heart breaks at this dreadful news. You must come to Lillandril at once! The Sapiarchs have ample resources. I promise you, we will cure this affliction, no matter the cost. I’ve met someone. His name is Emile, and he possesses a rare gift when it comes to the arts of healing and […]
Letter to Roshilde - Roshilde, We need to get moving. As soon as you get this, start making your first trip back to the surface. Pretty soon, we’re not going to have enough people to haul everything up. Another sentry took a chunk out of Zabashil last night. He’s alive, but he won’t be carrying much anymore.
Letter to Rulassalmo - Dear Rulassalmo, It’s only been a few days since I left Vulkhel Guard, but I miss you terribly. I hope business picks up, and I have an excuse to see you again soon. I hate that we live so far apart. Distance is so cruel to young relationships. I hope my letter reaches you safely […]
Letter to Selloe - Selloe, Imagine my surprise when I received a message from Auberic Dufont. He is very anxious to receive his entry token for the next scheduled event. If I recall correctly, and of course I do, you were tasked with making sure it was delivered to him with all appropriate pomp. He is a very wealthy […]
Letter to Shirnama - Shirnama, You must be more selective in your recruitment. As our presence in Senchal grows, more and more seek to join us to find refuge from the coming storm. We have no need for weak, unskilled rabble. You must now seek warriors. The underground arena in the Black Kiergo should suit our needs nicely. Select […]
Letter to Stelvene Lothaire - Stelvene! Come back, you fool. He yet lives! I can take you to him. We have a wagon! Your father has an entire legion looking for you. How much of your fortune have you spent hidden away for this long? Come home, and I will tell you everything I know. Abandon this madness. Abandon this […]
Letter to Strastnoc - Strastnoc, You’re probably resting your hairy arse on the throne of Evermore by now. I wish we were having as much luck. I know this deal with the Worms is important, but I’m starting to wonder whether we can really trust them. I’ll explain more when you get back. Linele
Letter to Tavo from Nahrina - Dearest Tavo, Please try to return to Sentinel as quickly as you can. If the debt collector comes and we come up short, I fear what he might do. A dozen relics should more than cover our debt. Yours forever, Nahrina
Letter to Thalrinel - My Dearest Thalrinel, I write to you in the hope that I find you in good health and good spirits. You will need both in the days and weeks to come. I know you were not looking for this much excitement so early in your tenure as Treethane of Silvenar, but the gods challenge us […]
Letter to the Overseer - Miners are getting suspicious about the growing disappearances in Blackreach
Letter to the Pentarch - Pentarch Zaros, Preparations are complete, my Breton brother. We are ready to begin the ritual. Send the latest shipment to Kilkreath Temple. Sister Ambritt will put everything to good use. You have done well. Await my next command. R
Letter to the Twilight Mage - Master Avayan, This one will be visiting Selfora shortly and would love to make use of your fabulous crafting stations— provided you’re amenable. I’ll even bring a few bottles of golden wine to refill your pantry! —Magister Marashi
Letter to Yazara - Yazara, In the wake of my father’s death, I intend to return to the clan and claim his title. I trust you will not make any hasty decision regarding the new chief until I arrive and we can discuss. — U.
Letter to Zurga gra-Murtag - Hey, Zurga, I’m fed up with spending my days in this hole under Belkarth. I want to get back into the fighting game, challenge myself some, you know? This new arena at Dragonstar sounds like just the thing. But I can’t just walk away from this job because I told the Big Boss I’d do […]
Letters from the War: Cyrodiil - An Argonian soldier recounts a battle alongside his Dunmer and Nord allies
Letters from the War: Mournhold - An Argonian assigned to Mournhold writes of the city's attractions
Letters from the War: Windhelm - Shei-Halu, Hello, egg-sister. How are things back in the village? Are you still champion of the teeba-hatsei field? Does Reek-Koos still follow you around like a haj mota stalking a mudcrab? I really do miss home! I’m writing from the Cold-Moon Inn in Windhelm, the capital city of Skyrim. Yes, there’s a lot of snow […]
Lighthouse Orders - Knight Stegor, Take a band of recruits to the Gonfalon Head Lighthouse and remove the Kynareth idol. The Lord wants the light extinguished to deny Kynareth’s guidance to certain ships arriving soon. Do not damage the idol or harm the keeper unless you have no other choice. We don’t want the lighthouse to remain dark […]
Love Note to Adrienne - Dearest Adrienne, How I miss you, my darling! Though it’s been less than a day since we last met, I can’t bear it any longer. Please meet me at our special spot in one hour. I’ll bring the wine and food; you bring just your lovely self. Don’t be late, my love! — Erning
Love Note to Catina - Dearest Catina, How I miss you, my darling! Though it’s been less than a day since we last met, I can’t bear it any longer. Please meet me at our special spot in two hours. I’ll bring the wine and food; you bring just your lovely self. Don’t be early and don’t be late, lover! […]
Love Note to Enna - Dearest Enna, How I miss you, my darling! Though it’s been less than a day since we last met, I can’t bear it any longer. Please meet me at our special spot in three hours. I’ll bring the wine and food; you bring just your lovely self. Don’t be early and don’t be late, lover! […]
Mages Guild Authorization - The Mages Guild hereby grants Warlock Kargand authorization to organize an excursion into the tunnels beneath the Elden Tree, the necropolis known as Elden Hollow, to investigate the disappearances of mages Bakkhara and Dracien Montue. Both went missing following the release of an unknown magical phenomenon that occurred when Canonreeve Oraneth finished an unidentified ritual […]
Magister’s Writ - To the Council and esteemed members of Great House Telvanni I, Magister Therana of Tel Branora, do hereby request and support the elevation of the slave Argonian, Sun-in-Shadow, to rank within our House. She should be lifted from the slave caste and established as a ranked Hireling as soon as possible. Sun-in-Shadow has shown great […]
Magistrate’s Message - To the most illustrious and kind Headman Cosh, My Headman, I cannot imagine why you have sent to me this day a message of such terse words. I cannot understand why you have sent to me this day a dangerous, poisonous asp. I am happy to report your jest has been received with good humor. […]
Mammoth Duty - You will rotate duty between scouting and watching over the mammoths. The great beasts must be kept secure at all times. They become more agitated with every hour we keep them confined, and that’s making them dangerous. One of the beasts broke free last night and trampled its guards to death. It then caused immense […]
Maormer Memo - Agent Arstul, Get yourself down the coast and set up a watch near Vulkhel Guard. I’ve gotten word the queen has recently arrived. The marines we’re holding at South Beacon will be valuable hostages; just have to use them at the right moment. Contact with the Royal continues apace. Once the Summerset Isles are ours, […]
Master Shelreni’s Orders - Dusk Captain Zenfis, My business at Tel Rendys is not quite done. Detach a strong company of Dusksabers and establish a camp at the tower. I will join you there. Do not attempt to enter Tel Rendys until I arrive. Meln the Mouthless set powerful defenses in place that will take time to circumvent. Curse […]
Memo from Menoit - I’m taking Gristle out bear hunting in the caves to the north. Do not hesitate to find me if anything comes up. I won’t bite your head off, like Justal would. — Ranger Menoit
Memo to Captain Doronil - Captain Doronil, I simply cannot understand the intent of these new orders from the General. The way he commands the watch to be set leaves gaping holes in our defenses during parts of the evening. If we were short-handed that would be one thing, but we have plenty of soldiers for the job. Please share […]
Memo to Captain Siro - I’ve done all I can. Be grateful I convinced them to let you live, let alone keep a command. We’re even now. I don’t want to hear from you again. And keep yourself safe, old man. Magus-General Septima Tharn, Seventh Legion
Merdyndril’s Orders - In the name of Magistrix Vox, All Maulborn must continue to monitor and secure Lake Hlaalu. Tests of the Llodos plague continue, and we maintain camps within the area. The new formula isn’t as strong as we hoped. I am returning to the Gorge to make a more potent concoction. I will also continue to […]
Message from Fennorian - Friends, Further work with Old Mjolen led to a discovery that promises to unravel the entire mystery that has confounded us so far. To that end, I returned to the mining settlement called Dusktown. If you have additional need of my services, I have secured lodging in a building on the south side of town. […]
Message from Geneura - Make no mistake, no one leaves the pack, ever. I want Engitaale found. Scouts reported seeing her near Vlastarus. Bring her to me, dead or alive.
Message in a Bottle - Of all the audacity! They attacked my ship. And for no reason. We were approaching Northpoint, heading for the tunnel, when Montclair’s troops attacked us. If this is because someone robbed Lady Lleraya again, I’ll make sure heads roll in the thieves’ quarter! We’re taking on water, but I’m going to try to get the […]
Message to Jena - Jena— This is your last chance to settle your debt. It has cost me a great deal to find you. Cheydinhal wasn’t far enough. — M
Messenger’s Report - The dockmaster assures me that these hooded knights are just mercenaries hired by House Dufort to guard the shipyards, but I don’t trust him. In fact, I don’t see a single laborer here bearing the emblem of House Dufort. I fear the reports Lord Bacaro received about rogue knights commandeering the shipyards prove true. I […]
Minahel’s Note - See if there are any other druid trinkets that other idiots like Ellorien and Linawys might stumble over. We had to put Ancul to sleep for now. The effect of that relic took him rather quickly. He foolishly touched it up with his bare hands. If you start to feel strange, leave the chamber. Perhaps […]
Mine Foreman’s Orders - Don’t care what you’ve heard about disappearances in the mine. Don’t be frightened like little Wood Elves that break like sticks in a bad storm. It is a Wood Elf trick. Keep working. Or you will be beaten. If you are beaten and you still don’t work, you will be shamed in front of entire […]
Missing: Gordonkha the Shark and Lazy Murshez - Describes two thieves who never xamback from a heist
Missive from Cyrodiil - Graccus: Your request for more infantry is denied. Your request for more supplies is denied. Your request for more spymasters is denied. Your orders were to go into Reaper’s March and destablize the Dominion. Instead, you wasted half your resources destroying one valueless village, and the rest you squandered on a pointless book hunt. You […]
Missive to Alchemist - Special delivery today: live prisoners. We caught five Pact scouts on patrol. Two escaped. Interrogate them to find out where their base is located. Use any means necessary, and silence them permanently once you’ve retrieved the information.
Montclair Assassin’s Orders - House Montclair thanks you for your service and for your patience in this matter. We know you will perform admirably once the targets are identified. While we finish assembling the list of targets, stay close to the city. Further instructions will reach you shortly.
Mouth Vabdru’s Journal - An unpleasant conversation with Mouth Saruse today. She informed me that her master requires Master Shelreni to stop directing spies and scrying devices against other house masters. I denied any such intrusions, but Mouth Saruse brushed aside my protests. More trouble. The Assembly of Masters is considering a new bylaw requiring members to disclose all […]
Mud-Covered Letter - Tredecim, Your information continues to pay dividends and our gratitude only grows. Your recent message about the Permeation Snare project greatly excited our house mages. If House Telvanni were to wield such an incredible weapon, it would tip the balance of power too far in their favor. Your efforts ensure peace in our land. As […]
My Little Present - By now you’ve found my little present in your bed chamber. You have disappointed me, Banu. Word of your sad performance before the Emissary of the King reached my ears, and I just had to offer commentary. Do not fail me like this again, or you will find the next message harder to miss. — […]
Mysterious Letter to Federo - Federo, I used to be like you. I told myself that if I could swallow my disgust at the reprehensible things I was asked to do under the magisters of House Telvanni that things would be different when I was one of them. Heed my words: the only difference between slaves and rank-climbers like us […]
Ne Salas: Need Reinforcements - Urgent – Expedited response requested. The Daggerfall Covenant has infiltrated the ruins of Ne Salas north of the Gray Mire. Their numbers are swelling in a manner that suggests they have a concealed passage into Grahtwood. I do not have the manpower to halt their progress. Please send reinforcements immediately. — Thaendil
Necromancer’s Journal - Another of my cellmates dead. Typical. There are few mortals with the strength of body, of character, to survive here. But I will add young Vayron to the throne (when the masters have finished with his flesh), to serve me when my own body grows weary. Though I wish I could do what the masters […]
Necromancers: A Report for the Queen - Euraxia's chief necromancer reports on the progress of their evil plans
Need More Animus Geodes - Deskin, The animus geodes are far too fragile to serve as a permanent solution. If jostled or dropped with a soul locked inside, they crack and flake until they shatter. A sharp blow turns them to dust! You’ve complained about their price, so I must wonder how much you paid for these things. If anyone […]
Nellor’s Bandit Connection - G, Shaking down Nellor tripled our weekly take! He has a good eye for saps with full purses. If he wants to keep that eye, he’ll send more of them our way. You were right about using innkeepers for this job. They’re natural liars, and they deal with enough travelers to spot the easy targets. […]
No Reason to Worry - H, Apologies for the lapse. Our supplier grew suspicious. Don’t fret overmuch, the appropriate mouths will be fed. We recovered your wayward bird. Its belly ran afoul of the storm, but we think it can be saved. If it is not in your hands by the next full moons, we are discovered and you should […]
No Significant Danger - Foreman Fabricius, It has come to my attention that you find our camp defenses inadequate. Your concerns have been noted, but we require every able hand for the excavation. We are making tremendous discoveries, and I will not have that pace slowed. I have left a small but capable group of fighters to defend the […]
Note from a Bottle - Drawn to the eagle on my bottle, were you? Perhaps you appreciate the Eagle, and would help it soar. Perhaps you will meet me and help the Queen’s eyes see true. The eagle’s eyes watch the main road into this den of iniquity. Perhaps I’ve had too much Gossamer Tawny Port and should stop making […]
Note from Akash - Our employer wants nine bones from nine different beasts in each altar. Do not mix them up. Do not cut corners. She will know if you do, and she will not be happy. And if Oraneth isn’t happy, I won’t be happy. — Akash gra-Mal
Note from Azhnura - Ushenat, I received a report that two of your recent initiates waited a few days and then attempted to escape after they lulled some of the trainers and monitors with their seeming docile behavior. This does not please me. The conversions must be true. Their minds must be truly opened and devoted to Trinimac. Your […]
Note from Captain Accalia - Engannas, Here is your share of the loot. You killed more of those filthy priests than any of the others so I am awarding you the Dagger of Mara as your prize. Once the Stonefire Cult has paid me for the Chalice you will receive an additional measure of coin. — Captain Accalia
Note from Captain Dunveril - The grandmaster’s son is named “Sen.” Find him and take him by force if necessary. Put him in the old Daedric tomb just outside of town. The locals won’t enter—they’ll be afraid of angering their ancestors. — Captain Dunveril
Note from Commander Derre - I’m asleep. If you wake me, the camp better be on fire! — Commander Derre
Note from Firuin - I am leaving you, Galithor, for one who appreciates my talents. My skill! You wasted my genius on such trivial things. Chilling drinks. Tricking insects into euphoria so their ichor would not curdle your precious brew! I created a colossus for you! Tall as a mammoth and twice as strong. Cold as the empty voids […]
Note from Gadri to Federo - Federo, Do me a favor. Never hire me on for this client again. I don’t mind the work itself, but all this cloak and dagger nonsense isn’t worth the rate I’m getting. It’s already a secret lair with a secret door near the bridge to some Dwarven ruins! Tell your other contractors I’m leaving the […]
Note from Gullveig - Thorulf, I trust this note finds your dealings in Fullhelm near fruition. My business in Riften is nearly concluded. Anchorite Garmar has no talent for our peculiar arts, but he’s capable enough in his own fashion. Once I’ve settled matters, I’ll move to Lost Prospect to complete my ascension. I may call on you afterwards […]
Note from Jahla - Overseer Basri, Courage to you and full-hearted greetings. The preparations are laid for glorious victory. The coast south of Velyn Harbor is nigh unoccupied, fertile ground to set the roots of our raiding parties. It should be no difficulty to conceal our ships among the rocks, or inland among the trees, and take them to […]
Note from Jeegren - The cave, my friend, lies north of Kragenmoor. As I have said many times, the fungus there grows to amazing size. I know you don’t believe me. I know you have called me a “lying shellback.” But I tell you, it is true. May the Hist dry my scales if I speak false! — Jeegren
Note from Kamu - To any members of the Fighters Guild who find this, We are being pursued by shadow creatures of some sort. They look like mer—possibly Bosmer—but this one can’t tell for certain. Something in the forest called to us, requested our aid. It was a voice, apparently coming from the tower behind the walls. We have […]
Note from Khezuli’s Contact - K— My employer’s new arrangement makes it harder to meet in public. Get me the base mixture and I’ll get you the payment. I hope you haven’t forgotten how to combine the ingredients in the mixing mechanism. All you have to remember is keep things orderly. Just add each ingredient carefully. The sweet, sticky moon […]
Note from Maryn - Sorry about this, but my arrangement with Adreso is too valuable for you to ruin. I’m only sorry I didn’t kill that fool before he finished his Black Sacrament. Nothing personal, just die. If it makes you feel better, it will look like an accident.
Note from No-Fingers - Dear Uta-Tei, Thank you so much for the herbs. Comes-When-Called is doing much better. His fever is gone and he is as sprightly as ever. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about how much our lives changed since we moved here. I know I was once your protector, but I hope that […]
Note from Scout Justal - Because some hunting parties can’t seem to get their acts together, I’m taking my falcon out, east of the camp, to hunt for some real food. If anyone wants to find me: Don’t. — Justal
Note from Umindior - Quen, Sorry to abandon you, but I can’t stop thinking about Neri. I’ve decided to go and find her. Try to convince her to leave the Dreadsails. I’ll see if she’ll tell me where the relic is, so that we can at least finish this contract. If the gods are with me, we’ll meet you […]
Note from Uxunath - We’ve done it. Our strike against the Remnants broke their order. The Cenotaph now belongs to the Dreamcarvers. There’s still much to do before we claim the Remnants’ power as our own. The Remnants keep their pact with Hermaeus Mora locked away inside a pocket realm they call the Crux. This pact is the core […]
Note from Zidal - Our contract is binding, and yes, I do expect you to follow through with the exploration. Take your team and head to the Black Vine Ruins by tomorrow, or I’ll bring this before the treethane. You don’t want to risk that, considering you jilted her son after she’d spent all that gold on things for […]
Note in Bag of Vvardenfell Silk - [Player Race], forgive me for departing before your arrival. Please give Enthis and Turil my best. I’ve made off with the rest of their silk. Feel free to give these remainders to one or the other with my best. Yours, Chanda
Note on Broken Crate - The plan begins! The amount of the concoction contained within isn’t viable when diluted in water. To achieve our goals, more of the elixir will be needed. To this end, more crates are on their way. Stay alert and watch for the next shipment. — M
Note to Arathel - Arathel, I know what you’re planning. Trust me, kid—you’re playing this all wrong. We need to talk. Make your way to the Anchors Aweigh Inn and order a Deathland Ale from the Khajiiti bartender. She’s one of ours, so you can trust her. Move quickly, all right? I can’t help you if you’re dead. E
Note to Arida - Arida, It looks like we’re going to evacuate. Whatever that thing is in the sky, it’s not something we can fight with swords and arrows. Best to retreat and take as many citizens out with us as we can. Guildmaster Kahlosh insists we ward the guildhall. He’s a stickler for rules and regulations, that one. […]
Note to Barkeep - Barkeep, I did my part. This place was full last night. They drank, you made your bit, so I expect full payment. I’ll be staying with a girl I met. She has a cottage just north of someplace called “the Gray Mire.” At first I thought she was talking about your ale. Deliver my money […]
Note to Cardia - Dearest Cardia, The wealth I’ve gained from this last job should allow me to finally leave these bandits. I want to get out of here as soon as we get paid off by the Stonefire Cult. We’ll run away together and finally buy that little farm we’ve always wanted. I’m sorry about losing your mother’s […]
Note to Cynric - Cynric, The others are starting to notice I seem distant often, deep in thought. Those thoughts are always of you and our secret moments by moonlight. They’re all I can think about now. I’m sorry I was late last time, I shall correct that mistake tonight. Until then. Forever yours, J
Note to Darius - Darius, Here is your share of the loot. You performed with bravery and intelligence during our raid on the Temple of Mara, and I want to make certain that all of my lieutenants are amply rewarded. The Phylactery is yours to do with as you please—keep it or sell it. — Captain Accalia
Note to Emabeth - Emabeth, I understand you and your brother’s concerns, but my decision is final. Our families have kept vigil here for six generations. They were forgotten but they still did their duty, as we must do ours. Not only that, but we’re finally profiting from it! Don’t worry though. I don’t intend to return Emeric’s gold, […]
Note to Graguz - Graguz I appreciate your enthusiasm for converting potential candidates. But it has come to my attention that the survival rate of your converts is starting to reach rather high numbers. Perhaps a little more patience and less “personal application” might be more conducive to actually increasing our ranks instead of thinning the general population. Be […]
Note to King Nantharion - King Camoran Aeradan chastises King Nantharion for his encroachment of Cyrodiil
Note to Lt. Stenric - Chin up, Lieutenant Stenric. I know it’s been a long and hard few months, but your vigilance will pay off. Once the invasion begins, we will be able to charge down the mountains and take the enemy completely by surprise. You will be a part of history. And all you need do is hold out […]
Note to Marianas - Dearest Marianas, I plan to return to you soon. The operation in Claw’s Strike is running well after the initial few hiccups. There are prettier Khajiit than Fishbreath, with nicer attitudes, I guess. And he does have an awful angry streak, always threatening to feed the others to his senche-lions. But he’s fair and he […]
Note to Nathyn - Nathyn, I am leaving Tel Dreloth. I have come in to some wealth due to the death of a distant relative and have no need to work as a servant anymore. Mistress Dreloth says I should not tell you where I intend to go. First, because she was always right about your condition, and leaving […]
Note to Neri - Neri, You seem preoccupied, but conserve some energy for your actual duties. Minahel wants those fools Ellorien and Laniwys locked up until we figure out exactly what they did. They’re in the old druid rooms where we usually lock up drunk and disorderly sailor until they sober up. Do a pass now and again. Make […]
Note to Nilsmon Booklover - Hey, Booklover. Stop leaving your damned bottles all around the barracks. If you puke in the necessary bucket again, I’ll dump it over your head. You stink of rum and sorrow. Drink to excess elsewhere, put on some pants, and take a bath. You may not be an aspirant, but at least try to comport […]
Note to Parsifal - Author: Master Davynu Dearest Parsifal, Given that Iryan has gone missing, I’ve left you in charge of safeguarding the house. As you know, I hate the idea of strangers tramping around my home, muddying the floors and soiling my instruments. Please take the proper precautions to keep out the riff raff. I’m trusting you. Don’t […]
Note to Rilasi - Dearest Rilasi, I’d hate for you to think your hard work here has gone unnoticed. I noticed. Talk soon, Your Lark of Rosgard
Note to Rufinus - Rufinus, I’m meeting with our new employer in a fortnight to hear his deal. If it’s better than the Khajiit’s, we’ll dissolve our relations there. No loss. Look for my next letter soon.
Note to Selias - Selias, We did it! The old man is dead and I have it! Meet me near the Netch Tree and I will pay you what I owe. Make sure you aren’t followed, I hear Nervyna has been sniffing around. — Tervur
Note to Tajirri - Tajirri, Blue serpent slithers next to the woods Four pointed paint shows the goods They do not glitter, but mark the way They’re prepared to leave town today R
Notice to All Research Assistants - All remaining flasks of the original toxin must be relocated to the storage chamber in the rear portion of the cave, so as to keep them separate from Master Nerandas’ new formula. Please make a full accounting and report any irregularities to your direct superior. Pride and Prosperity for House Hlaalu.
Notice: New Working Conditions - Reminder to all workers! Break time has been reduced, effective immediately, to ten minutes instead of the prior fifteen minute break periods. This will remain in effect until productivity returns to the levels I specified in last month’s directive. You have only yourselves to blame for this change. With the current challenges we face here […]
Notice: Pledge Duties - Attention, you drunken louts. The task of remembering who offers the pledges for some of your favored stomping grounds has proven more difficult than the butchery and looting you do there. If you find yourself confused by intoxication or a head wound, the pledge givers and their responsibilities will now be outlined here. Maj al-Ragath: […]
O Blessed Spinners - O Blessed Spinners, My name is Ulthorn, and I am in need of your wisdom. My love has left me. Life is nothing without her. She did not want to go, but it was fate, they said. I do not believe in fate. How can it exist when a single word can change the path […]
Oblan’s Letter - My dear, lucky friend Oblan, Your captain’s patriotic foolishness has drawn you the best possible assignment! Imagine, “scouting” for the navy around Khenarthi’s Roost! You’ll hit the sands long before any of those officious marine thugs have time to look around. I’m sure you know, most of my supplies come from KR. Since you don’t […]
On Activation - Placement of the corruption stones is less important than activation. Our priestess has ensured that the corruption stones are imbued with the ancestral energy of the holy site. One stone should cover the entire site; the other five stones are insurance. It may seem excessive, but we can’t be too careful. The traitor-queen’s political machinations […]
On Calling the Drowned Dead - My father first used this spell to call the dead from the sea twenty years ago. Today, we perform this again in his honor. There are shipwrecks along the beach just west of the docks. Conduct the ritual there and our glorious rise begins.
On the Holy Symbol - Priestess Lanwe, one of the queen-pretender’s lackeys, has in her possession a holy symbol that could be disruptive to our plans. Find her, kill her, and take the symbol. It is the only relic at the site powerful enough to destroy the corruption stones. They’ll be able to cleanse the site eventually, but something will […]
On the Purchase of the Alavelis Mine - Kynreeve Ryl, I purchased a glass mine in the village of Alavelis. Our Hidden Kindred allies will construct an arched gateway there using the mystic qualities of malachite ore, the compounds provided by Prince Peryite and Prince Vaermina, and my own specially crafted spells. This will provide the portal we need to enter Apocrypha without […]
On the Spirits of the Hel Shira - To the most revered Magus-General Septima Tharn, I know the 7th Legion’s first forays into the Hall of Heroes ended rather unfortunately, but I am pleased to report that your generous time spent in teaching me the ways of the occult has proven valuable for us both and the Empire as a whole. After spending […]
On the Trail of the Forgotten Mane - While searching for the tomb of a lost ruler, this investigator finds Daedric forces instead
On the Work at Alavelis - Master Shelreni, Our work here in Alavelis nears completion. The Hidden Kindred have followed your instructions carefully. The gateway will be ready as directed, and the stone you requested to rebuild the sacred statue is now on its way to the destination you provided. The Prince’s shrine will soon be restored to its former glory! […]
Opening Performance Notes - “One day, in full view of the n’wah, the mehra of Koal Canton … and so he crushed some muckspunge pulp into a netch’s tentacles.”
Orders are Orders - The soft-skins can’t do their dirty work alone, but who are we to refuse their gold? They want to break up some stupid wedding, then help them … but be smart. These Elves have different magic than we do. Maybe they can help with the crown. I don’t trust that Speaker-in-Empty-Air or her promises. I […]
Orders for Athal - Athal, You get the hardest job. Head toward Cheydinhal. Don’t go anywhere near the town for now. Find a cave or ruins and make a strong base. Stay hidden. After Claudette and Zandur have completed their tasks, we’ll move against Cheydinhal. That’s all you do for now. Wait for my signal.
Orders for the Recruits - Once, you bent your knee to the tyrants who drive this war. Now, under the cloak of the Ascendant Order, your true purpose becomes clear. In your footlocker you will find the resources you need to complete your mission—an anchoring lodestone and a mystic sigil. Place the lodestone at the base of the mast and […]
Orders from Commander Pyline - Our efforts within Northpoint proceed as planned. Lady Lleraya assures us that success will soon be ours and the march toward Shornhelm will begin shortly. Keep to your posts and remain vigilant. If the Shornhelm Guard shows up, dispatch them immediately. And continue to watch for any of the missing Northpoint Guard who escaped or […]
Orders from General Endare - To: All Jade Dragoons Regarding: Excavation of the Falinesti Winter Site Our elite company has taken on the task of locating powerful items of magic and arcane relics in the areas of Grahtwood most likely to conceal such devices. The Jade Dragoons can play their part in the Aldmeri Dominion’s war by preemptively securing these […]
Orders from Hegris - Zandur, Bruma is ripe for the taking. When the time comes, it will be ours. The peasants and Dremora will never see us coming. Find a hidden base and wait for my signal. Do not attempt to contact Claudette. I’ll have both of you skinned and served for dinner if you ruin my plans. — […]
Orders from Sealord Nalos - Captains of the Dreadsail Fleet: Assemble your crews and make ready for a massed naval assault on the city of Vastyr. Our prisoners have revealed no weak points of note, but with our numbers we will overrun the city before the defenders can redeploy to meet us. Be ready to attack with or without the […]
Orders from the Chief - Assist the Redguards in their attack on Velyn Harbor. Their plans for invasion do not affect us, and we are being well paid. Once the harbor is secure, send any you can spare to Jathsogur. The tribes are gathering; they’ve caught wind of a valuable prize, and our warriors should be there to claim a […]
Orders from the Lord - Druid Edreld, I understand your garden below Garick’s Rest is blooming. Perfect. When you receive the shipment of wine, here is how I want you to proceed. Add your newly developed poison to one of the bottles. I have arranged for it to be part of a gift basket for Lady Arabelle. Her suspicions grow […]
Orders From Vicereeve Pelidil - Our deception already bears fruit. Go with haste and strike during the meeting. I have sent these loyal soldiers to aid you, but they have orders to keep out of sight unless something goes wrong. If you can, end it quickly with the spell I taught you. I am trusting you to handle this. It […]
Orders to Halskar - Halskar, Use the tunnel in the royal crypt to capture Fort Morvunskar. Remember that our purpose here is not to hold the fort, however. Just to get the soldiers out of the way long enough to accomplish our true goal. Get that through your thick skull, for everything else depends on that. The pretender Jorunn’s […]
Orders to Kindred Rector Nyleth - Kindred Rector Nyleth, I am pleased by reports of your progress at Alavelis. Torvesard explained his plan to recover his lost dream by searching Mora’s ink-stained records for its hiding place. I want you to accompany Kynreeve Ryl and the Dreamcarvers on their mission. Help them find the secret, or retrieve it yourself if things […]
Orders: Norvulk Ruins - We’ve heard rumors that Ayleid ruins sit unplundered in the hills near Wind Keep. Follow Gargak the Knight. He will lead you to them. We must claim these ruins and discover the ancient secrets within—for the Dreamers!
Orders: Steelheart Moorings - Another opportunity to seize territory in the Daggerfall Covenant has presented itself. There’s a cave not far off the shore of Alcaire that sees little traffic and features no one to oppose us. If we can take this cave, we will have a staging ground within striking distance of Koeglin Village. Seize the site at […]

Picnic Note - Dearest, Meet me in our usual spot. I have a bottle of your favorite wine and a very special question to ask you. Yours truly, M
Plague Concoctor’s Instructions - The offerings for the Taskmaster are brewed and ready to be presented to his likeness at the altar in the central chamber. It should be a simple matter to collect three of them and offer it to His Pestilence. But remember, the Taskmaster abhors heterogeny. That is, ensure the offerings are of similar strains, such […]
Please Respond, Your Beloved Aunt Daiyanni - Dearest Rultari, This is my third letter since your last correspondence. I am concerned for your wellbeing. What your father is doing sounds macabre and, frankly, dangerous. It would be foolish enough to take these afflicted travelers into your own home, but dwelling down in the family crypts with these diseased people is downright ghoulish. […]
Portal Memorandum - A cultist overseer fears that Molag Bal's portals might be disrupted, and inadvertently tells us how to do so
Prepare Some Entertainment - Sorti, I’m inviting some guests to the reef. Give them an opportunity to see what a real pirate’s life looks like and bend knee to me before we take the Systres for ourselves. You have my permission to acquire whatever provisions you think will have them salivating for just a taste of what the Dreadsails […]
Prisoner Manifest - As per the Ascendant Magus’s instructions, an accounting of the prisoners currently in our custody: Kaleen, captain of the Spearhead Tsuzo, captain of Kamal’s Bane Za’ji, captain of the Perfect Pounce Guild General Quentyn, Fighters Guild delegate ORDERS – Question the captains about what befell their passengers when they wrecked. They likely know when Ayrenn, […]
Prisoner’s Journal - They made no demands, gave no hints of their goals. I tried to get a look at their leader. He’s a tall man, well-muscled, and carries an axe. He keeps his face covered.
Progress Inquiry: Cyrodiil - Grand Warlord Sorcalin, How goes the war in Cyrodiil? The Thalmor is eager for news of our army’s progress. Great trust has been given to you, and great resources have been placed at your command. We are impatient for results, Grand Warlord. – Queen Ayrenn, for the Aldmeri Dominion

Queen Ayrenn’s Letter to the Player - A letter, sent in real life, to promote the release of Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset
Ransom Note from Shadeya - Thief, You do not know Shadeya, but the elder Eilirsu-dro told this one everything about his little scheme and your part in it. Shadeya thinks the talisman will be a better payout than the meager gold her band is getting from these pedlars. If you wish for the elder and his remaining family to live, […]
Rasaba’s Note - How is it that I found an infiltrator among the ranks while you lot stood around like useless clots of clay? Were you lot too busy drinking or coming up with more ridiculous stories of past exploits? Did this hapless spy bribe you with sweet rolls? Perform better, or you’ll get a surprise from me. […]
Rasir’s Journal Page - I’m close this time. It’s frustrating that I still have not discovered the infection’s source. Something in the food, the water? An animal? There are many mysteries in Blackreach. Perhaps I will never know. But if I can cleanse our sanctuary, I’ll be a hero! Not like Tranya and Skor, of course, but maybe at […]
Recall Orders - Duilius, Report to me at once. Do not wait for your replacement. Tell your troops to stay in camp until she arrives. They are to make no moves and attract no attention until I send new orders. Get on your horse and get here at once. I’ll give you one day to report. Then I […]
Red Rook Orders - You have been honored with this momentous task. Gaetane, your leader on this mission, is no ordinary commander. She has been trained in the arts of storm magic. She may be young, but she is powerful and ruthless. Protect her. Follow her instructions. If you succeed, you will be well rewarded.
Red Rook Orders: Cryptwatch - The feeble Lion Guard has left yet another fort abandoned and ripe for plunder. This one, called Cryptwatch Fort, is located near Crosswych. Your orders are simple: find the fort and turn it into a base of operations for the Red Rooks. What could be better than a fort we can move right into? It […]
Ree-Nakal’s Orders - The Bright-Throat woman grows increasingly agitated. I don’t know how much longer her trust in me will keep her in check. Wait for Haxara at the dry glade of dragonthorn near Bright-Throat Village and silence her before she decides to confess.
Regarding the “Fists of Thalmor” - The Canonreeve feels the name of this organization needs adjusting
Regarding the Hall - We’ve found it: the legendary “Hall of Heroes.” It took weeks but my scouts report finding an ancient temple nearly buried in the mountains southeast of Hallin’s Stand. If it contains what the ancient mystics believed it to contain, it’s the perfect place to remove the pest that has been plaguing our efforts against the […]
Reminders for Underweave Watchlings - Fates are not allowed a little light reading as they wait for unweaving. Remember, you are not a garment that can be rewoven. So, safety first. We must try to keep Lurkers from entering the nemesis loom spillways. We fear the runoff is making them bigger.
Report for the Head Jailer - Head Jailer Charlemic, There have been ten attempted escapes from the stockade in the past month. Not a one was successful. The jailers do good work, but rarely is that acknowledged by you or House Mornard. I suggest we open the wine casks and celebrate. To boost morale, of course. Jailer Scribe Rola
Report From the Wendir Dig - Work at Wendir proceeds slowly, with no sign of the Emblem of the Last King
Report on Operation Siphon - Councilor Ralds, Our operation at Ald Isra continues undiscovered. The source of information we established within the Assembly of Masters provides regular updates and passes along private documents. Their value cannot be understated. It is gold well spent. You requested details about our process for securely exchanging information. Late every Sundas and Middas evening, Tredecim […]
Report: Missing Persons - Sir, We’re still getting reports from the locals of people going missing. We’ve interviewed a few family members, but we’ve yet to find any common threads. The whole thing feels wrong, somehow. I’m aware we don’t follow up cases like these without a patron, so I’ll leave the matter in your hands. Should one of […]
Request Denied - Soldier Kazdi, Your request for transfer is denied. You’ll act with deference and attend to Alchemist Ruuvitar’s orders or you’ll face proscriptive judgment. I realize punitive expeditions aren’t why you signed up, but a soldier’s lot isn’t to choose orders. Alchemist Ruuvitar’s arguably unconventional methods will lead to a quick and humane submission of the […]
Resources for Lukiul - Captain, I’ve done as you asked. It took some doing, but I’ve managed to re-direct those supplies from the lizard village to our drop site near Heimlyn Keep. With the Covenant pressing their attack, military surplus has flooded into Stonefalls. Get your men into place as soon as you can. Enough supplies to hold off […]
Respectful Greetings from Am-Shadal - General Khamagash, At Grand Warlord Dortene’s command, I did not respond in kind to your recent outburst. This is my considered reply. Honor to you for your commitment to the Covenant and concern for our progress. In your enthusiasm you forget that a scouting mission does not conquer an enemy stronghold. We scout to discover […]
Response to Vox, First Draft - Lady Vox, Know that I and my priesthood stand with you in your grief, but we cannot and will not stand with you in any folly perpetrated against the Tribunal. I am a humble servant dedicated to healing the wounds of the world, not inflicting them. In truth, I believe that what your son did […]
Rest Gently - I’m so sorry. We tried to dig you out, but the shaft started collapsing around us. I pray none of you suffered long. I will personally tend to this flame, so your souls are never shrouded in darkness.
Rhadh’s Instructions - Rhadh, The piece of the map was supposedly hidden inside a small chest in the broken bow of a ship at the location I’ve indicated on Whalefall. I know that place is dangerous, so get the fragment and get out of there as fast as you can. Once you have it, bring it to me […]
Rhanbiq’s Orders: al-Danobia Tomb - Under no circumstances shall any numbered amongst the Iron Wheel set foot within al-Danobia Tomb. Secure the approach, only. Magnifica Falorah expressly forbade entry, and we are in her employ. We shall strictly adhere to her guidelines, despite our training. —Rhanbiq, CI-IW
Rhanbiq’s Orders: No Shira Prison - To all numbered amongst the Iron Wheel: Departures shall be orderly. Prisoner transfers take priority, paired with confiscated goods. The delivery of such to Taneth shall release final payment to our guild, which is necessary to fund the recovery of our materiel and remaining numbers from Hew’s Bane. I cannot overstate the importance of a […]

Salvager’s Torn Journal - — on arrival. They weren’t badly injured, but all suffer terribly from the fisherman’s thirst. We nursed them back to health and they’ve agreed to help search the wreckage for their friends. Entry 5 So many things washed up on the shore! This one cannot count the foodstuffs and other supplies. We even stumbled across […]
Sanctuary: Final Assessment - Imperial Sanctuary Chimera Logistics Report Stores received and catalogued. The mages assure me their preservation spells will maintain the freshness of the food for decades. Local water supply is good, but we’ve taken no chances. There’s enough potable water for thirty days of normal use, assuming a contingent of our size. Our disciplinary officers delivered […]
Sanctuary: Weapons Report - Imperial Sanctuary Chimera Weapons Report The six catapults have been seen to. All siege weapons are stored per Imperial dictates. Awaiting additional ammunition shipments. Some of the fire salts were ruined in transport. We’ve attempted salvage by spreading fire salt canisters along the entryway docks to dry, despite overreactions by some of our squad leaders. […]
Saroldo’s Greatest Treasure - My dearest daughter, If you are reading this, you have undoubtedly received notice of my passing. In such an event, I entrusted my friend Nicolas to acquire the ledger and see it delivered to you at your academy. I can almost hear your groan – one of my last gifts is to be one of […]
Scouting Report for Sergeant Belrud - * Scout patrol led by Corporal Soft-Wind and scouts Rivis and Aldi sent to investigate second level of sewers, find source of legionnaire infection. * Lots of trash all around.

Slayer’s Note - The parasites have risen in Western Skyrim. Those with a stout constitution and a sharp blade, come. Join in me in the hunt. Seek me out at my camp, northeast of Karthwatch. And together we will face the darkness. – Mel Adrys
Someday It’ll Be Just You - Geneura, I leave this for your slobbering minions to bring back with them, tails tucked between their legs. They tracked me to this house, but to no avail. By the time they break in, I’ll be long gone. Engitaale and I will never rejoin your pack. Others will leave too. The crueler your grip, the […]
Supplementary Orders - Investigate the ruin interior here in Wansalen. Evaluate the area as a potential fortified location available for retreat, should the circumstances demand it. Obtain any and all items of value within the ruin and bring them to my personal attention. May the Three guide your steps, — Captain Rela
Survey of the Alavelis Mine - Guildmaster Puvor, Greetings from Alavelis. I completed my survey of the glass mine beneath the village. At this time I cannot recommend an investment in this enterprise. While nowhere near depleted, the remaining deposits are not commercially viable. The work and expense required to obtain significant ore will be prohibitive, especially given the competition from […]
Tajirri’s Note - Seems our old badger friend is napping again. Maybe we should pay him a visit? The trip could prove sweeter than you’d think. T
The Ascendant Magus’s Commission - To All Knights of the Ascendant Order The Ascendant Lord has learned that Lady Arabelle and her associates rescued the alliance leaders from Amenos. She sent them to All Flags Islet. That means we must put our contingency plan into effect immediately. Silver Swan is not yet fully seaworthy, so I am giving Hercian command […]

The Lie We Tell Ourselves - A Dark Brotherhood member's frustration and their relationship with the Night Mother
The Reachmen are Coming! - Medya said that we shouldn’t worry, that we had an old family. She said that they—the Reachmen!—are coming here. She came from the shoreline east of here when I saw her, covered in blood! Leave while you can, I will meet you in Evermore.
The Second of the Letters - If you love me as truly as you profess, come to me. I will wait for you, forever if I must. A piece of me awaits you, unlocked by these mates of metal. Look for the silver coffer.
The Serpent’s Blade - Deadly Visskar, The Serpent smiles upon you, honored warrior! As always, I am in awe of your skill with blade and shadows. I understand that you have also been blessed with a slither of snake companions that fight alongside you. How envious I am of your place in the master’s eyes. I have a favor […]
The Treasure of Stillrise Village - Felra, Gather your coven and make your way to Stillrise Village as quickly as possible. A treasure there unlike any we have seen in many generations awaits the Cult of the Black Worm . Take or create as many animus geodes as possible; you will find use for them, I promise you! I would go […]

There Is No Going Back - Firuin, Our cause would be glad to have one so well versed in magic. Your former employer was foolish not to put your talents to better use, but his loss is our gain. Join us in Abamath, but be warned! There is no going back. Cut ties with your former life. Distractions will not be […]
Thorzhul’s Letter - A rather cheerfully formal letter from an Orc explaining why he wiped out an entire family
Threat of the Dreadsails - To the Commander of the City Guard, I didn’t want to write this. I thought we’re all sensible citizens here. Surely, we all know the danger pirates like the Dreadsails pose to our lives and livelihood. I was wrong. As I was sitting in the Jaded Ornaug Tavern sipping an ale after a hard day […]
Threatening Letter - Esteemed Jhaziran, I hope that this letter finds you in good health. I would not normally pry into your private affairs, but my novitiates in the cursed laboratory tell me that many of your recent deliveries have been either late, or incomplete. I’m sure that I needn’t remind you that we are on a delicate […]
Threatening Letter to Paheiza - Paheiza, Keema-Ru has already accepted my offer for a loan to secure the future of her saltrice farm. Even should she sell her land, any profit would go directly towards repaying this loan. Do you understand? The debts you have built up to indulge in your habits are to be paid in full, from your […]
Three-of-Claws’ Note - Don’t wait up for me. I am attending a meeting that will likely run late. It’s time we Argonians discuss our past, and determine where the future will take us. We are no longer captives!
Thunderbug Repellent - No-Fingers, I run the Burroot Kwama Mine west of Elden Root. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? I’ve recently had a bit of a problem with thunderbugs burrowing into the mine and upsetting my kwama. I’d heard you were experienced with beast-handling and hoped you might have something I could use to deter them that wouldn’t […]
Time is of the Essence - Battlemage— I need your soldiers to assist me down below. The Wood Orcs work well enough, but I think a lash at their backs will push them to finish even more quickly. I trust you realize time is of the essence here. That nosy mage Bakkhara was watching the upper entrance again. Use your remaining […]
To Delay Means Death - Lieutenant Pera, You have seen the official orders; these must be read to your troops. For your eyes only, I add this warning. The recall to the Imperial City will not be welcomed by the soldiers. The rumors of what we face there have spread faster than the wind. Fear grips all who have any […]
To My Brother, Entrepreneur of Orsinium - A sister writes her brother about his generous gift of a baby echatare
To the Captain - Per your orders, our elite forces are moving up the slope to the Spire.The less seasoned members of the Vanguard will be left behind in Kragenmoor, and in the camp outside of town. They need further training if they’re to contribute to the Grandmaster’s plans. Work them hard. We know that forces from Virak will […]
To the Veiled Masters - Veiled Masters, Our dupes in the Council assigned me to this backwater as planned. I begin my work to defy Ayrenn, the Absentee Queen. We shall punish her for usurping leadership from Prince Naemon, who has proven his worth time and again as an upholder of tradition and Elven honor. She was canny to gain […]
To the Veiled Queen - To The Veiled Queen, Future Ruler Of Auridon Our plan to use South Beacon as a staging area for our occupation of Auridon is in motion. The lighthouse is now under our control and a powerful magical ward will limit entry to all but our most trusted agents. As per our previous discussions, you will […]
To the Villainous Manacar - To the Villainous Manacar, Your actions have vexed one too many, and now is the time to pay! We have Tableau in our dastardly clutches. If you value her, leave ten thousand gold with the Orc Ghrum, waiting within Alinor’s Outlaws Refuge. Send any prying eyes? We’ll pry out Tableau’s eyes in return! Your Antagonistic […]
Toadstool Hollow Journal - Grigerda cursed me for a fool, begged me not to go. But we’ll never defeat the Shadowed Path on our own. And none of the alliances will help us; they’re too busy killing each other to care about one small town. It must be done, and I’m the one to do it. The others with […]
Today’s Instructions - Zan’ikh, Use Freiwen’s amulet to protect you from the storm while you search for fresh bodies, but take care not to lose it. Locations to search: ~ Recently icebound merchant ship ~ Along the ice shelf south of the stronghold Items to acquire: ~ Humanoid corpses ~ 1 wolf corpse ~ 1 Argonian corpse Return […]
Torn Note [Ethian] - … not to be shared with Ethian. He is a dutiful son, but he lacks nerve. Unlike that she-wolf he married. She’d sail straight into the arms of those green savages and act as if they are our equals. Madness. You’ll find there is an extra passenger on your escort sloop. Corisia Rufinus—a mage with […]
Torn Note From Brahgas - Sorinne, Now that the game’s begun to catch on (a bit like fleas in a farmyard, don’t you think), I’m trying to note down some masters for Razhamad. Even the vinebeards of Galen have picked up the game. They’ve got a deck that tells the tale of their Druid King. Wicked little thing. Word is […]
Torn Page [Basins] - It’s the basins! Once per basin, in this exact order: Burn, then bury, then drown.
Torn Page [Fiends] - The fiends who plague us may well have dropped from the sky. They came upon us midday, with the sun casting naught a single shadow. I have no idea how. They move like men, kill like men, but don’t speak. Can’t be reasoned with. We don’t presently hear them, nor see them. But they’re there. […]
Torn Page [Hel-Ra Citadel] - My colleague, Aban, pressed his hands blue against its walls. He searched weeks for a hidden compartment, a loose stone; any way in. He found none. I would kill for a way into Hel Ra Citadel, but they say no one has entered it in many lifetimes—that the entrance is barred and shielded by magical […]
Torn Page [Jenedusil] - Trying to leave this alcove means death by beheading. Staying means death by whatever beast makes this place home. Why this, why now? I swear I will haunt this place if I die here not knowing. I’ve some arrows yet remaining. Perhaps it’s time for Jenedusil’s final stand. Yes, I think that’s what I’ll call […]
Transport Plans - The cargo you seek is dispersed across a trio of ships, all heading for Gonfalon Bay on High Isle. – The Eagle is aboard the Perfect Pounce, sailing from Skywatch. – The Lion sails from Wayrest on the Spearhead. – The Hatchling rides the tide from Lilmoth aboard Kamal’s Bane. Lodestones have been placed aboard […]
Tu’whacca’s Mine - Tu’whacca’s Throne holds many treasures, but we’ve found that which is most precious far beneath. We recently discovered an old cave which contains an abundance of precious gems and metals. We claim this cave as our own. Go with Domarina and set up mining operations immediately.
Turn Back! - Puhnara, I’m sorry. We should have never come down here. We should have heeded the curse. The things down here, they look like Elves, but they’re more like beasts. They leapt on us in the dark. Dragged us to some crypt. To their leader. He was almost like a normal person, until he opened his […]
Uldazaan’s Letter - Cipher Akacirn, What you ask is possible, but it is an unusual request for a mortal. I am willing to instruct you in the required ritual, but the cost may be more than you can bear. One cannot deny death without also denying life. I will visit Apogee Nadir soon. There is a place not […]
Uluscant’s Manifesto - Hail, Brave Mer of Bisnensel! I am proud to announce that the tyrant Laloriaran Dynar has finally abdicated. He and his few followers are already gone from our fair city, no doubt seeking sanctuary among distant kin. Today marks a great new beginning for our people! You well know that force of arms has failed […]
Unavoidable Delays - Silat, While we realize the outlying farms sustained damage in the storm, we regret to inform you that we cannot facilitate repairs until our own restoration efforts are complete. Many buildings along Cat’s Eye Quay—Including piers and other vital port structures—were damaged in the storm and will require significant renovation. Our architects estimate at least […]
Unfinished Letter [To Marika] - Marika, I love you. I wanted to say that while I still have the chance. It feels good to give the words a life outside my heart, even though I’m certain this will never reach you. We’re trapped. The Reachmen came in a flood, out from the mountains. They pillaged the villages and choked off […]
Unfinished Letter [To Mother] - Mother, I wish you could see what I have accomplished here. The city does not reject nature as you might expect. If anything, the relationship is more complex than we could ever have imagined. I know you think I turned my back on you, on everything you taught. I would do anything to help you […]
Unfinished Letter to Marika - Trapped in a besieged Falkreath, the writer says goodbye to their love
Unfinished Letter to Summerset - Mother, I am writing to you from Reaper’s March, in the northern part of the forest called Valenwood. The ink used is native to the area, and contains several notable properties not found in Summerset inks. Perhaps you can work out the mathematical equations I’ve worked into the margins? Consider these elements my evidence that […]
Unfinished Report - I appreciate your concern, Overseer. My ships made an exhaustive sweep of the coastline and Firemoth Island and found no evidence of slaver activity. The shipwreck was an unfortunate accident, nothing more. As for the other matter, I must entreat
Unsent Letter - A mage contemplates attempting a dangerous ritual to stop the spread of the Knahaten flu
Unwelcome Visitors - We assume the first Anchor Chain is cut. Apply pressure to Mother Tiger to denounce the Unwelcome Visitors. We observe Unwelcome Visitors recovering from the storm.

Urcelmo’s Supplemental Orders - The cemetery southest of Phaer has long been a problem. We’ve had reports people have been abducted from the nearby road. Investigate. Eliminate the threat, and do justice to the Dominion. I look forward to your complete report on this matter. Battlereeve Urcelmo, Commanding.
Urgent Letter [Amber Plasm] - Half information on the "Hist sap" that fuels Mazatun, half propaganda
Urgent Message from Walks-Softly - [Player Name] While we were both attending to other matters, that special shipment from my past was discovered and absconded with by pirates. I have to rescue her! Contacts throughout Abah’s Landing have told me that the shipment has been taken to Shark’s Teeth Grotto. I’m heading there immediately. If you have the inclination, I […]
Vanthongar’s Letter - Thvaril, With Murkmire picked over as it is, I had to start ranging further and further to loot anything worth selling. I found a smaller tribe just across the river. Moss-Skins, they called themselves. Helped myself to a few trinkets, and even managed to grab myself a genuine grave-stake. Unfortunately, my theft landed me with […]
Vath’ira’s Note - The answer is no. Arbhu-ra isn’t going to get off with a sorry and a few gold this time. He needs to rein in his skooma problem and pay up what he owes, or I’ll take it out of his share. —Vath’ira
Vijari is Unwell - Sister, Ka’ishka needs your help. She is losing her sweet Vijari. His mind wanders farther and farther with each passing day, and his thoughts don’t seem to be his own. Ka’ishka thought she was prepared to lose him, but not like this. It feels wrong somehow. This one does all she can to delay Vijari’s […]
Vosh Rakh Orders - Our agents are in place, having successfully integrated themselves into life in Orsinium so that no one can tell a member of the Vosh Rakh from anyone else in the city. In this way, our ritual masks have served us well. When the clan chiefs gather to attend the moot, they will have no inkling […]
Vox’s Final Reply - Sera Arthalen—My Dear Tidyn, I am deeply saddened by your response to my most recent correspondence. Know that a great storm approaches, Sera. Your precious Selfora will not avoid its rage. A time comes when you must choose sides. It is inevitable. I do not recommend you oppose me when the line is drawn. I […]
Warehouse Under New Ownership - We understand the absence of Silver-Claw has caused distress amongst the warehouse staff. Do not be alarmed. The warehouse is under new ownership—stable ownership. Throw your backs into the work as you always have. The coin you earn will spend, as it has before. —Overseer Iszreena —Overseer Torkming
Warlock Vanton’s Research Proposal - To Shalidor, Twelvane, and those with the appropriate standing in this matter, I, Warlock Vanton, am writing with a request for access to the Dreamstone, which I know is hidden in a vault beneath Davon’s Watch.
