Quest-Related EventsEdit

Reclaiming VosEdit

You will encounter her upstairs in Tel Mora, speaking with Menwendel about Mistress Dratha's condition.

Menwendel: "I'll check on her again in the morning. For now, just get some rest, ay? You look awful."

Llayne Sadri: "Yes … thank you, Menwendel. And please, let me know straight away if you make any progress on a cure."

Menwendel: "Of course. And I meant what I said. Sleep, Llayne."

Llayne Sadri: "Yes, yes …. And who might you be?"

Speak with her.

"It takes some pluck to enter a Telvanni tower uninvited. Impressive.
I'm Llayne Sadri, Mouth to the glorious Mistress Dratha. What is it you want, outlander?"

I've come to discuss the situation in Vos.

"The situation? The catastrophe more like. Savarak and his Black Snail mercenaries are strangling the life out of that town. I do what I can, but Savarak has the support of the Council. My hands are firmly tied.
You, on the other hand …."

How can I help?

"Savarak won the support of the Council shortly after my mistress fell ill. I've always known him to be clever and enterprising, but all this wealth and muscle—that's new.
Despots rule with swords and coin. Savarak has an abundance of both."

Do you know where the gold and mercenaries are coming from?

"I don't. But I think we can find some answers in Savarak's manse.
He's turned the old Berano house into a palace—and a fortress. If you break in and find some evidence of corruption, I might be able to turn the Council against him."

You can ask her more questions after accepting the task.

What should I be looking for exactly?/What would I be looking for, exactly?

"This can't possibly be the first time someone's asked you to snoop through a wizard's manse.
Just look for anything that seems out of place. Official documents often provide clues on this sort of thing. Letters too. You'll know it when you see it."

You're Dratha's Mouth. What's wrong with her?/So, you're Dratha's Mouth. What's wrong with her?

"I wish I knew. Our resident herbalist, Menwendel, has been developing on a variety of cures. She's capable—brilliant even—but my confidence wanes. We know the illness deadens the mind and causes rigors in the limbs, but beyond that we're stumped."

Speaking with her again before leaving:

"Savarak's Black Snail mercenaries are everywhere, so be careful. At least a few of them will be patrolling the halls of the manse.
You'll more than likely have to do a lot of sneaking, so don't forget to stretch?"

Investigate Savarak's Manse and find some evidence. Return to her at Tel Mora:

"You're back? I admit, I didn't expect you to return. Forgive me. It's hard to know who to trust these days. It seems you actually do mean to help us. Did you find anything?"

<Show Llayne the documents you found.>

"Honestly, what kind of idiot leaves this many documents lying about?
Still nothing about my Mistress's illness. Damn. Well, what do we know? House Hlaalu is bankrolling Savarak's operation. His wealth and mercenaries arrive via Selvil Island …."

And one of his subordinates is supposed to attend a secret meeting.

"Right. With someone named Nerandas, yes? The Hlaalu's hatchetman here in Vos, no doubt.
If they're using pass-phrases, they must not know each other by name or by face. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

I could try to meet with Nerandas instead.

"Exactly. Find Nerandas near the wharf and use this pass-phrase. I'll have the few House guards still loyal to Mistress Dratha make sure no one approaches. We don't want the real contact to muck things up.
Learn what you can, then make a swift exit."

Speak to her again and she'll reassure you the plan will work:

"I know deception doesn't come easily to everyone. Just allow this Nerandas fellow do all the talking. Hlaalu agents tend to be chatty. It's one of their many, many shortcomings."

Meet with Nerandas and he'll tell you he's been poisioning the mushroom tower. Collect a bit of malignant growth and show it to Llayne:

"You still have your head on your shoulders, so it can't have gone all that poorly. Did you manage to learn anything?"

The tower's fungal growth is killing Dratha. Savarak and the Hlaalu poisoned it.

"What? Those fetching bastards. The answer was right here the whole time. Mistress forgive me.
Look, I'm no slouch when it comes to magic, but fungal infections are well outside my area of expertise. You'll have to find Menwendel, our herbalist."

Where is this Menwendel?

"She established a small nursery beside the tower. With any luck, she'll be there. If not, ask her assistant, Gray-Skies.
Please don't dawdle. I'm not sure how much longer my mistress can hold on."

What will you do in the meantime?

"I'll contact the Telvanni Council immediately. I'm sure they'll love to hear about Savarak's tawdry affair with those gold-pinchers in House Hlaalu.
If I know the council—and I do—Savarak will be feeding the shroom beetles by week's end."

And Vos will be free of his reign.

"Indeed. The citizens of Vos will be free to go about their lives in peace.
Although, for Vos to truly flourish, we must also restore my Mistress Dratha to proper health. From the looks of things, she doesn't have much time."

Before leaving:

"Remember, Menwendel should be tending to her nursery just south of here. Show her that … thing. I'm certain she'll know what it is. More importantly, she'll know how to help my Mistress recover from its effects."

After a brief rescue mission, you'll get Menwendel working on a cure for Mistress Dratha. She'll tell you that Llayne has gone after Savarak. You follow only to find Llayne just outside the tower:

"Savarak's gone! Damn that slippery bastard! We tossed his manse, the gathering house, the wharf …. We turned the whole damned town upside down, and nothing.
He can't have just vanished. What did we miss?"

What about that shipping notice I found in the manse? Something about "Selvil Island?"

"Of course! His Black Snail mercenaries have been resupplying there. That must be where he's headed."

Where is this island?

"Selvil Island is just east of the tower. If he manages to get away I'll never forgive myself.
It will take me too long to gather up all the town guards. I need you to go after him. Please, sera, make sure he doesn't board that ship!"

Speaking to her again before leaving:

"I'm going to check on Menwendel's progress. I believe in you, but nothing can be left to chance. Vehk willing, Mistress Dratha will make a full recovery.
With her health restored, those Hlaalu bastards won't dare make another play for Tel Mora."

Deal with Savarak and return to Tel Mora to find Mistress Dratha up and about. Enter the tower and Llayne will be speaking to the mistress:

Llayne Sadri: "The outlander will come through for us. I know it."

Speak to her and she'll say:

"You're back! My Mistress and I feared the worst. Is it over? Is Savarak slain?"

Yes. Savarak won't trouble the people of Vos any longer.

"What a relief. With Mistress Dratha's approval, I'll send runners to nearby towns and let the people know it's safe to return. Thank you, my friend. Truly.
Take this. And I believe my Mistress Dratha would like a proper word as well."

At Any CostEdit

Finish the previous quest, and she'll address Mistress Dratha:

Llayne Sadri: "Muthsera, this is the warrior I told you about—the one that exposed the Hlaalu plot and struck down Savarak."

Speak to her before speaking to Dratha and she'll say:

"You've proven yourself willing to help those in need, even without the promise of compensation. I hesitate to ask more of you, but just between us, I can see that these events have shaken Mistress Dratha. She could use your help."

After speaking to Dratha:

"She can be curt, but trust when I say we need Mistress Dratha—and not only for the sake of Vos and Tel Mora. Despite her temper, my mistress truly seeks the best for Vvardenfell. She cares too much, as the cliche goes.
Just help her, please."

After you witness Mistress Dratha make a pact with the Daedra, Xykenaz, she'll say:

"I know what you're thinking. I'm not exactly pleased either, but Mistress Dratha insisted this was the only way.
I'm sorry if you feel I wasn't honest with you, but either way, I owe you my thanks once again."

Why keep me in the dark?

"You need to understand, Mistress Dratha is a wise woman. She knows exactly the horrors she has agreed to. This choice was made not for herself, but for the greater good.
I didn't wish to betray you, but I trust her actions in this matter."

How is her bargain going to help the "greater good?"

"It's a danger that is long to come. I know very little, but I believe neither you nor I will ever see it in our lifetimes.
If it's enough to accept the tortures of Coldharbour, I'm thankful I will never live to see it."

A Hireling of House TelvanniEdit

In the Council Chambers, the following scene will play out:

Ralasa Delvi: "Well, well … what brings a slave to our audience chamber?"

Eraven Onthim: "I bring tidings from my august patron, Magister Therana. She would have your masters know that this slave, Sun-in-Shadow, has earned her favor."

Ralasa Delvi: "What? Magister Therana would lend her good name to this … thing? Preposterous!"

Angharal Suth: "Ralasa, don't be as tiresome as your master."

Vaelin Oren: "Can we move this along, please?"

Eraven Onthim: "Very well. Magister Therana, by right of rank, demands that the slave girl, Sun-in-Shadow, be freed from her bonds and raised up to a Hireling of the Great House Telvanni. She belongs to Magister Otheri, does she not?"

Angharal Suth: "Indeed. My most beneficent patron, Magister Otheri, acquiesces to Magister Therana's demands. He is confident that Therana will remember this kindness in the future. Sun-in-Shadow, you are hereby freed and lifted up to the rank of hireling."

Ralasa Delvi: "My most majestic patron, Magister Gothren, warns you all. Lift up one of these beasts and a thousand more will follow. This is folly!"

Llayne Sadri: "If there's nothing else? I have urgent business in Tel Mora."

Objections and ObstaclesEdit

Enter the Council Chamber on Sun-in-Shadow's behalf, and you'll hear:

Ralasa Delvi: "My patron, Magister Gothren, opposes any further honors for the slave girl. Oh look, the lizard sent a representative. Such pretensions."

Angharal Suth: "Approach, emissary. You may inform your benefactress, Sun-in-Shadow, that the Council has elected to reject her petition."

Ralasa Delvi: "Be sure to add that all further petitions will meet the same fate. Cats and lizards have no place in our Great House."

Eraven Onthim: "Honestly, Ralasa …."

Angharal Suth: "Don't worry, Ralasa. The emissary will give Sun-in-Shadow a full account of this meeting. I have no doubt."

If you speak to her, she'll say:

"If you come to ask me if I oppose Sun-in-Shadow's rise in rank, the answer is no. Nor does Mistress Dratha.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must get back to Tel Mora."

If you've completed Reclaiming Vos, she'll instead say:

"It's good to see you again, sera, but I'm afraid I'll be of no use to you.
Mistress Dratha harbors no ill will toward Sun-in-Shadow, but Gothren wields great diplomatic power on issues like this. There's little I can do to break Ralasa's support."

Divine BlessingsEdit

If you have completed the Tel Mora quest prior to the conclusion of Vvardenfell's main quest, Llayne will be present at the Temple Canton in Vivec City for Vivec's award ceremony during the quest Divine Blessings:

"I'm not surprised to see you here. Not one bit. I'm sure you'll continue to do great things for Vvardenfell.
You should come visit Tel Mora when you have the chance! Though Mistress Dratha has been rather odd about visitors lately …."
