Quest-Related EventsEdit
Nirnroot WineEdit
When first entering the Winery, you can overhear her mutter, "This one wonders what it tastes like. Does anyone know?"
- "Nirnroot wine. This one sings its praises!"
- Nirnroot wine?
- "Yes! Thalara has a recipe for turning Nirnroot into wine, the best wine you'll ever taste! Most unusual. No more can be said at this time.
Perhaps you would help Thalara?" - How can I help?
- "Thalara's recipe requires Red Mountain Ash. The mountain's eruption spewed ash as clumps of tuff, yes? If you gather it for Thalara, the reward would be great. Search the shores of Lake Rumare for the tuff."
- I'll be back with the ash.
After collecting the ash, return them to her and she'll ask:
- "Have you found it? Without Red Mountain Ash, Thalara cannot make Nirnroot wine."
- Yes, I have the ash.
- "Jone and Jode dance in the heavens! Soon Nirnroot wine will flow out to the thirsty people of Cyrodiil, and riches will flow back to Thalara."
DialogueEdit
Before and after completing the Nirnroot Wine quest, you can ask her more questions and use her store:
When spoken to her again before completing the Nirnroot Wine quest, that is if you gotten the quest from her:
- "Red Mountain Ash, how Thalara longs for it. Seek the tuffs around Lake Rumare. Gather ash for Thalara, and rewards will be yours!
Beware of other seekers. They will steal what you've gathered."
When spoken to her again after the Nirnroot Wine quest has been completed:
- "Ah, Nirnroot wine, nectar fit for the gods. As long as they can afford my prices that is!"
Questions that can be asked either before or after the Nirnroot Wine quest has been completed:
- How do you make Nirnroot wine?
- "This is Thalara's secret. True, some others stole the secret and try to make the wine, but they have not Thalara's cleverness and knowledge. There is only one source for true Nirnroot wine, and it is here."
- Who are these others?
- "They are of no account. Thalara barely remembers their names. They once worked for Thalara, learned her secrets, then snuck out in the night, like wine-stealing rodents.
As competitors, they are clawless kittens. We will speak no more of them." - Why so secretive?
- "Thalara's paws have been burnt in the false flames of trust and sharing. No more. The secrets of Nirnroot wine are too valuable.
Fool Thalara once, shame on you. Fool Thalara twice, and Thalara kills you and eats you."
Question could only be asked after completing the Nirnroot Wine quest:
- What does Nirnroot wine taste like?
- "Thalara cannot say, truly. The Nirnroot wine does not allow one to drink it. Strange but true. It is a magical concoction that Thalara brews but does not understand.
Much like offspring, which one loves though they are a mystery to us." - So no one's ever tasted any?
- "No. All assume the wine tastes delightful, and many will tell you so, swearing they have tasted it. But they are deluded. Merely thinking about drinking it causes the Nirnroot wine to make you drunk, thus saving itself."
- "Thalara cannot say, truly. The Nirnroot wine does not allow one to drink it. Strange but true. It is a magical concoction that Thalara brews but does not understand.
