Dialogue with Watch Captain Astanya
&mdash;&mdash; (if completed To Auridon) '''I'll make sure news of the Maormer is passed on to the appropriate parties. Don't worry about that. Now, what's your name?

'''Extra precautions with Queen Ayrenn in town. You understand.''' &mdash;&mdash; (common)
 * 
 * I'll just write that down. By order of the First Auridon Marines, your presence in Vulkhel Guard has been registered.
 * Do your best to stay out of trouble and out of the way. Fare you well.
 * You seem very busy. Is there anything I can do to help?
 * Help? No. I don't think so.
 * Actually.should be comma [sic] My guardsmen are all tied up right now. If you're up to it, perhaps you could look into some things for me?
 * I'm at your service.
 * Good. I want you to speak with two members of the Queen's Court, Advisor Norion and Steward Eminwe. They await assistance from the guard, hands I can't spare just now.
 * Who do you want to speak to first?
 * I'll speak with the Advisor first.
 * I see you prioritize well. You'll find him at a warehouse west of here. Be sure to tell her that I sent you.
 * Once you've finished with both of them, report back to me on the town's upper level.
 * I will.

Follow-on dialogue with Watch Captain Astanya
Well, what are you waiting for?
 * Can you tell me more about Queen Ayrenn?
 * (A} You hit your head recently? The Queen leads the Aldmeri Dominion.
 * She had some kind of wild time away from court a few years ago. But now she's returned to reclaim her birthright. Lead the alliance.
 * Where was she?
 * Off gallavantinggallivanting [sic] across Tamriel? Who knows? Who cares?
 * I wish I could just quit my job, then come back to it when I get bored. Pah.
 * What's the Queen's speech about?
 * Probably talking up the "unity of the Dominion." Not all Altmer are fans of the Alliance yet?
 * No offense.
 * Who are the First Auridon Marines? Go to (B}
 * Razum-dar said you two were old friends? Go to (C}
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Who are the First Auridon Marines?
 * (B} Queen Ayrenn's personal guard. They're led by Battlereeve Urcelmo, one of the most decorated warriors in the Dominion.
 * You're not a marine?
 * No. I'm captain of the city guards here. The marines are the right arm of the Queen. My duty is to the city.
 * Can you tell me more about Queen Ayrenn? Go to (A}
 * Razum-dar said you two were old friends? Go to (C}
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Razum-dar said you two were old friends?
 * (C} Hah! He's got an active imagination, that one. We know each other, sure. Drew blades together a few times. But I'm not sure I'd call him a friend. Not since he signed up with the Queen.
 * Signed up with the Queen?
 * He didn't tell you? Of course he didn't; he's the biggest liar I know. Razum-dar works directly for the Queen herself. Some kind of hush-hush cloak-and-dagger outfit. Thieves and liars, the lot of them.
 * Can you tell me more about Queen Ayrenn? Go to (A}
 * Who are the First Auridon Marines? Go to (B}
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.

Dialogue with Advisor Norion
'''I'm busy here. Away with you.'''
 * I'm supposed to tell you Watch Captain Astanya sent me.
 * Ah. Ahh. In that case, you'll do nicely.
 * My servant followed a burglar to this warehouse. The ignorant knave stole a set of marine deployment plans for the Queen's upcoming speech.
 * Why would a burglar steal those?
 * Well, I'm sure I wouldn't know. I'm no burglar. In any case, we can't let those plans escape.
 * They could be used to bypass the Queen's security. And we wouldn't want that.
 * I'll check it out.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.

 * Pick up Deployment Plans

Dialogue with Advisor Norion
'''Well? Did you find the plans?'''
 * I found them, but the burglar was already dead.
 * Oh? A pity.
 * Keeps the plans. You can give them to the Captain next time you see her. In the meantime I must attend to the queen.
 * You're not concerned about the dead burglar?
 * Feh. Some kind of criminal feud, I'm sure.
 * Now then. If you have some other task, you should be about it.
 * I'm to help Steward Eminwe. Do you know where she is?
 * Do I look like a steward's assistant? Do you take me for a commoner? No. But, yes, I happen to know where she is.
 * East warehouse, just north of the docks. You can go now.
 * Thanks, I guess.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.

Dialogue with Steward Eminwe
'''I'm sorry, I can't help you right now. I'm very busy and there's a lot to do.'''
 * I'm supposed to tell you Watch Captain Astanya sent me.::Ah. Ahh. In that case, you'll do nicely.
 * Oh! All right, then. What was it? Right, the supplies.
 * Two of my cooks took deathly ill, right in the middle of preparing the Queen's feast! I suspect sabotage. I want to be sure all of our food supplies are safe.
 * You seem a bit upset. What do you want me to do?
 * I'm not upset. Not at all!
 * I'll examine the supplies in here. You, go to the warehouse next door. Make sure everything is fresh, and there's nothing out of place.
 * I'll take a look for you.
 * Goodbye.

Dialogue with Steward Eminwe
Did you find anything?
 * I found some salted meat. I think it's been poisoned.
 * Thank the Stars! You found the problem.
 * Hold onto that. The captain will want to see it.
 * Why would someone poison a cook?
 * I'm sure it was some kind of test, to see if they could sneak something deadly past our security. Lucky we had you on the job!

Tell me what you found.

 * Good, good. I hate to rush you, but I have another task for you.
 * One of my men, Heldil, has cornered a thug nearby. We need to talk to this lowborn scum.
 * What's he done?
 * We've no time for this. He's involved in a plot against the Queen, that's all I can say.
 * We need someone like you to get to him. He refuses to speak with a member of the guard.
 * Do you want this evidence I found?
 * Just hold it for the moment. Heldil is just up the stairs here, house on the right.
 * Get going. Remember: the Queen's service.
 * For the Queen.

 * What do you want me to do?
 * I need him alive. Just get in there, and get him talking. Don't listen to what he says, he's half crazed.
 * You get him talking, we move in behind you. Got it?
 * Got it.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.

 * What?
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.

Watchman Heldil: Good work, citizen. Fasion: ''Traitors. Scum!'' Watchman Heldil: ''Shut your mouth. You're under arrest.'' Fasion: I live only to serve the Queen! Watchman Heldil: ''Sure you do. Faritaale?'' Watchwoman Faritaale: With pleasure.
 * Watchman Heldil and Watchwoman Faritaale enter and interact with Fasion

Dialogue with Watchman Heldil
Good work.
 * What are you going to do with him?
 * Don't worry. He'll receive a fair trial. The Captain is always very evenhanded in her pronouncements.
 * I suppose I should report to her now.
 * Good call. We'll see that this man previously referred to as a mer and is an elf from his appearance. [sic] is taken to a cell. With respect, of course.
 * Complete Quest.
 * &mdash;mdash;Starts A Hostile Situation dialogue here.
 * Never mind.
 * Goodbye.
