Online:Overheard Dialogue

Overheard dialogue occurs when you are within hearing range of an NPC (usually groups of NPCs), but the NPC in question has not seen you. Usually it is said by generic soldiers from hostile factions. Some lines are uttered by beast races, such as goblins or giants, and is often listed incoherent gibberish.

This page serves as a hub for the many subpages that list overheard dialogue. There are over 50 groups that have their own unique overheard dialogue.

Alliance SoldiersEdit

• "If any more of those chapel guardians show up, we'll be ready for them!"
• "I wonder what the Stonefire Cult is going to do with that chalice?"
• "I'd avoid Captain Accalia if I were you. He's not happy about meeting with the Stonefire Cult."

Worm Cultists in the Imperial City have their own dialogue. Unlike the previous lines, this pool is not shared with bandits.

• "I am but a tool for the kyn."

DremoraEdit

This dialogue is said by Dremora soldiers stationed in the Imperial City. They'll occasionally talk about the different districts.

Arena District	Temple District	Other Districts
"Dig in the ground, and you'll find even more of these vermin." "Where did that little, green one go?" "We should just flay their skin off and be done with it." "We should throw the Worm Cultists into the arena." "Even the game master joins the fight sometimes." "Round up the mortals! The games must continue." "Why don't they put any kyn in the Arena? I could spend all day slaughtering mortals." "Come, mortals! The Devourer needs fresh meat!" "The arena provokes such eloquent screams." "They'll give them cast-off weapons, and make them kill each other."	"Imperial City is ours. The mortal fools just don't know it yet." "There is no greater pleasure than corrupting an Aedric shrine." "I do not know which is more foul, the sewers or the altar to the Aedra."	"Why don't we make a new garden … out of Elven corpses!"

The Dremora will sometimes talk about their mortal "allies".

Legion Zero and the Worm Cult
"Not enough burning. Fetch me a Worm Cultist." "Legion Zero belongs to us. We should kill them and raise them."

Their commentary sometimes turns to talking about Molag Bal's campaign in the Imperial City.

On the Campaign

"Molag Bal does not wish the entire city destroyed. Just this district." "Scouts warned of mortal soldiers approaching. Be wary." "What happened in the Magisterium cannot be repeated." "Praise be our master. This campaign is a success." "The White Gold Tower will be swallowed into the sky." "Why do these fools resist? The Planemeld is inevitable!" "The sooner these fools realize the Divines are finished, the better." "This city will be a fine addition to Coldharbour." "The city is ours. At this point, who can stand against us?" "I wonder if we have secured the Nobles District yet." "The Planemeld must continue!" "Keep watch. The mortals seek to break the chain." "Look behind that building. There may be more." "Nothing gets by, on this side or the other." "Hold fast, kyn. The mortals approach." "The insects live under rocks and plot our doom. Find them." "City walls are no barrier to the kyn." "To arms! I sense mortals near."

They'll also make commentary on mortals and the world they live in.

Mortals and Mundus

"This city should burn. Burn it all, I say!" "Look at how they squander their souls. Why shouldn't we take them?" "I despise these mortals. Their cities are weak, their lives short." "These mortals, endlessly scampering. Such unpredictable targets." "I would suffer no mortal to live!" "They hide in sewers, closets, and basements. We've not found them all." "The seat of the mortal empire is a hamlet compared to the glory of Oblivion." "These mortals are naught but disposable playthings." "An Ayleid summoner once thought he could control me. I gutted him." "No Khajiits. Cat-flesh is too gamey." "The little ones from the forest make the most amusing servants." "Sloads? I've not dealt with one for a thousand years." "The vermin in the slums are easy pickings."

The kyn will often complain about their assignments, or talk about what they'd rather be doing.

Complaints

"Fools! Attack the ones with swords, not hooves!" "Need more corpses to burn!" "Where are my fresh corpses?" "Enough of this. Wake me when the Planemeld happens." "I thought this would be far more exciting than Coldharbour." "These insects hardly merit our attention." "I don't want parts. I need whole bodies!" "These thralls would be more useful digging ditches." "I have guard duty when I could be studying under Gati." "The sewers are beneath me. I did not come here to swim." "Why must we wait? I haven't killed something in hours." "I miss hunting mortals. Perhaps we killed too many of them." "This place is unworthy. Why do we waste our time?" "Why the Dark Lord wants this pitiful city is beyond me." "I miss Coldharbour. When do we go back?" "If there is more work, then we need more thralls." "The kyn does not deserve such treatment."

Sometimes, they talk about other Daedra. The Dremora seem especially concerned by the Xivkyn. Some Dremora see them as a threat, others quietly resent them.

Regarding Other Daedra

"The Xivkyn trained a Daedroth to do amusing things to banekin, and then called him general! How quaint." "The Xivkyn trained a daedroth to do amusing things to banekin, and then called him "General." How droll." "Ebral learned a new technique to apply magicka to skeletons." "General Kryozote refuses to eat mortals. He consumes only scamps." "We should destroy the Xivkyn now, before they replace us." "Young clannfear need food to grow. Luckily, there are plenty of mortals around." "The simple depravity of the Daedrat is admirable, in its own way." "The master favors his Xivkyn. Can't you see that?" "How can we command the Daedroth when they are ignorant of our orders?" "Scamps! I need more scamps!"

You'll often hear the kyn kissing Molag Bal's rear-end.

Praising Molag Bal

"Molag Bal is the greatest prince I've ever served." "I would rather clothe an ogrim's nethers than serve another Prince." "Molag Bal rules here, as in Coldharbour." "Our Dark Lord demands a sacrifice!" "Thought is weakness. Obedience is the true power." "Duty to the kyn. Duty to the Dark Lord." "Sacrifices must be made in the name of Molag Bal." "The kyn will burn this city for Molag Bal!" "I have died a thousand deaths in service to Molag Bal." "The Dark Lord's might encompasses all in this city." "I've been to the Endless Stair and back in service of the Prince of Domination."

The Dremora often blurt out lines that paint a picture of how fitting their service to the Lord of Brutality is.

General Depravity

"Bits of the bureaucrat's flesh still decorate my shield." "Bring death upon the mortals!" "The spirits of the mortals are easily manipulated." "Crush their lungs before their eyes. Then, crush their eyes." "Scourge the mortal until it comes apart." "Round up any mortals you can find. I would choose a pet." "We will make a carpet of our victims' bodies." "Mortals burn so quickly—too quickly. They should suffer much longer!" "Paint the ground with the blood of mortals!" "May the flesh peel from any mortal who dares come near." "Have fun with the mortals. Send them to the Market when they are spent." "I will unleash a storm upon the next worm that tries to get through." "If it were up to me we would destroy every structure in this city." "Bring me a prisoner. I want to see how much a mortal bleeds." "When do we feast upon mortal flesh once more?" "Mortal flesh is so easy to manipulate." "Elven wine tastes best in the blood of an Elf."

Occasionally, you'll hear fragments of conversations between the kyn, their peers, or their mortal subordinates.

Points of Conversation

"I sense a powerful mortal near. Be cautious." "The Lord of Domination leads the kyn. For now." "I prefer disemboweling my foes. Shocking them is too subtle." "I will not tolerate these Mundus-dwellers for long." "It is often difficult to discern which mortals serve us and which we destroy." "I smell man-flesh. There is prey nearby." "Shields are meant for bashing faces!" "Quiet, you fool! You'll end up in the sewers for that!" "Killing mortals is an art that sometimes calls for patience." "That Worm Cultist spoke as though we were equals. The nerve!" "Has Molag Bal forgotten us? I refuse to believe it." "Quiet, churls. I heard something." "I am not so crude as to need a blade." "This mortal land is too colorful for my taste." "Were you spawned from the waste in the sewers?" "Fool. You'll find yourself in the sewers for that." "Skewering mortals never gets old, does it?" "I will be at the right hand of a Daedric Prince one day, either Molag Bal or someone else."

Some of these lines are oddly specific.

• "Abnur Tharn will die, when next I see him."

The following lines can be said by both Xivkyn and Dremora:

• "Lormantia Molag Bal."

"The Bloodworks Drainage. That's where we should be."

"My thirst cannot be slaked on daedrats alone."

"I may serve Molag Bal now, but I will always honor Malacath."

"How long must we hunt? Are we not to be rewarded for our service?"

Vosh RakhEdit

SkaafinEdit

Tall Skaafin

"Such work is below my station."

"The Master promised treasures, but all I see is dust."

"Fetch me that thing's heart."

"I don't remember groveling that much when I was a wretch."

"Has anyone fed that thing lately?"

"I tricked that Armiger! You saw that, right?"

"The Master personally selected me for this mission."

"We're definitely going to need some more wretches."

"To me, wretch."

"Keep away from the urns, wretch!"

"I stepped on more than a few heads to get this job."

"Dead mortals disgust me almost as much as live ones."

"Little one, you thought to best me in a bargain?"

"These pitiful creatures should know their place."

"Trick me? Never going to happen."

"Which one of you wretches stole my treasures?"

Wretches

"Did you see the way those priests ran?"

"When will dead mortals reform?"

"Trick worked!"

"Claw out eyes! Claw out eyes!"

"Urn broke! He did it!"

"Many us, few them."

"Stupid big ones and their stupid orders."

"Did me hear that?"

"They promised riches."

"Hungry One powerful creature, powerful!"

"You distract. Me take."

"Me hear something."

"Me think that one's alive."

"You took it, you eat it."

"Me hate spirits."

"Hurt it, hurt it!"

"Me no wretch."

"You take. You take."

"No, no, No! Legs? No!"

"Your kill? No, my kill!"

FactotumsEdit

The Factotums in the Clockwork City occasionally speak as they idle. Most of their dialogue indicates that the construct is processing information.

Idle	Greetings	Hostile Idle
"Dreaming …. Glowing embers. Wool blanket." "Dreaming …. Storm clouds. Wind." "Dreaming …. Familiar smell. Wrinkled hands." "Dreaming …. Burning tapestry. Screaming." "Dreaming …. Soiled tablecloth. Washboard." "Dreaming …. Pottery wheel. Laughter." "Dreaming …. Flower garden. Bird songs." "Dreaming …. Fish pond. Skipping stone." "Dreaming …. Familiar embrace. Moonlight." "Dreaming … Torchbugs. Overturned jar." "Dreaming … knee abrasion. Lullaby." "Dreaming … open window. Sunlight through glass." "Dreaming …. Scrib jelly. A rainy day." "Dreaming …. Discarded Flowers. Empty Cylinder." "Dreaming …. One netch. Two netch …." "Dreaming … Deceased bird. Handkerchief." "Dreaming … raindrops on glass. Wood smoke." "By His word, I am bound."	"Welcome to Lord Seht's gleaming city." "Farewell res—. Greeting error, eight two seven." "Apologies. This partition is not designed for conversation." "Accessing general greeting array. Hello, resident." "Greetings, resident. Please obey all Clockwork City laws." "The Clockwork City welcomes you." "May Lord Seht bless your labors." "Greeting array corrupted. Please try again." "All functions are working as intended." "By His will, we are sustained."	"Core rotation initialized." "To every machine, a purpose." "Searching area for hostile entities." "We must all serve our purpose." "Temperature variance detected. Documenting." "Wonder. Labor. Create." "Excess corrosion detected. Maintenance required." "Sweep detects zero intruders. Restart initialized." "Detection array calibrating. Awareness rating: sixty two percent." "Transitioning to detection state seven." "Routine diagnostics complete. Resuming threat awareness." "Increasing visual clarity by fifteen percent." "Detection array fully calibrated. Awareness rating: ninety four percent." "Combat permissions registered and logged." "New patrol path registered. Reflecting." "Internal function audit in progress. Please try again later." "Defensive maneuver collation in progress. Reflecting."

Factotums also have justice dialogue: if one catches you committing a crime inside the Brass Fortress, it will report you. They will remark on catching players stealing, trespassing, murdering, and pickpocketing.

They also have remarks for when they notice their pockets are empty: this occurs when you manage to pickpocket them until they have nothing left for you to steal (usually after the third swipe) and manage to steal the last of their personal effects without getting caught. The discerning Factotum occasionally remarks when they detect someone sneaking, and will advise the individual in question against criminal tomfoolery.

Witnesses Trespassing	Witnesses Theft	Witnesses Pickpocketing
"Unlawful behavior recorded. Category: trespassing." "Trespassing observed. Reporting actions to authorities." "Exit this area at once, resident." "Trespassing observed. Please vacate the premises." "You are not permitted in this current area, resident." "Your presence is unauthorized. Please depart."	"Cease your actions and present yourself to the nearest guard." "Discontinue your unlawful behavior, resident." "It is not advised to take items without permission." "Unlawful actions will not be tolerated in the Fortress." "Your actions are not allowed within the Fortress." "Please return all illicitly obtained items, resident." "Your behavior is not permitted in the Brass Fortress." "Your unlawful behavior has been reported." "Larceny recorded. Notifying local authorities." "Thievery is not allowed within the Brass Fortress." "Your actions are not permissible, resident." "Your actions have been recorded and reported." "Criminal acts will lead to arrest and containment." "All misconduct will be reported to the authorities, resident." "Thievery is not authorized in Clockwork City." "Theft observed. Reporting to local authorities."	"Minor criminal activity detected." "Criminal: category pick-pocket detected."

When a Factotum witnesses assault or murder, they will calmly proclaim that a crime has been committed, and helpfully recommend that the perpetrator turn themselves in to the local authorities in compliance with the law.

Witnesses Assault	Witnesses Murder	Notices Pockets Are Empty	Witnesses Sneaking
"Do not assault me, resident." "The Brass Fortress does not allow unsolicited assault." "Structural integrity compromised." "Unauthorized combat is not permitted." "Discontinue your attack, resident." "Abstain from violent actions, citizen." "Physical aggression observed." "Damage sustained. Defense protocol initiated." "Assault in progress. Initiating defense." "Alert! Physical assault occurring!" "Impact detected. Please discontinue this assault, resident." "Warning: personal misconduct will result in fines or execution." "Resident, please cease all violent activity."	"Please present yourself for arrest, murderer." "Murder observed and reported." "Unapproved execution is not allowed within the Fortress." "Discontinue all homicidal actions, resident." "Alert! Homicidal resident observed." "Resident deceased. Cause: homicide."	"Personal items detected missing. Cause: minor larceny." "Minor larceny committed on storage compartment." "Breach of storage compartment detected." "Items stored have been unwillingly taken."	"Inhibiting factotum operations is prohibited. Thank you for your cooperation."

• "Take that back to the ship. Quickly."

Royal MenagerieEdit

The following can be heard from Conservator Vinelore's minions in Sil-Var-Woad:

• "If any of those creatures interfere with my experiments ..."
• "Another fine addition to the Royal Menagerie."
• "Gryphons would make better neighbors than Wood Elves. Let's consider this spot."

Moon Hunter PackEdit

The craven man-beasts of the Moon Hunter Pack will briefly mention the sacrifices they made to join Vykosa's army or remark on how eager they are to hunt.

Moon Hunter Keep

March of Sacrifices

"Moon-Caller didn't look pleased today. Did … did I do something?" "The Silver Dawn are dead. The Silver Dawn are dead." "The hunters are gone, right? They're dead? Of course they are!" "Am I worthy yet? I don't want to go back to the hedge maze." "<Aggressive howling.>" "What a delicious scent!" "Tender flesh. Warm, delicious flesh. Oh, yes." "The Silver Dawn were fools to try to fight us!" "<High pitched whining.>" "I don't want to go back to the library. They can't—they can't make me!" "Vykosa said we'll be safe. She'll keep us safe." "Hunters? In the keep? Just my luck!" "What this pack needs is a good hunt!" "Dinnertime already? Lucky us!" "<Low growling.>" "When's the next hunt? Soon? Oh, I hope it's soon." "They wouldn't kick me out, would they? I'd be hunted. Killed!" "They sent her to the hedge maze yesterday. She … didn't make it." "Let the hunters come! I'll claw them to pieces!" "<Low, quiet snarling.>" "Oh, I can't wait for the next hunt." "The Archivist wants to see me tomorrow. I … I don't want to go." "The pack needs me. The pack needs me." "We should crush those Silver Dawn pests, once and for all!" "I'm so hungry! When's the next hunt?" "<Wolfish heavy breathing.>"

"(?)"

When engaged in combat, they will address the threat or make wolfish noises.

Moon Hunter Keep

March of Sacrifices

"Our prey has finally arrived!" "Looks like dinner's arrived early!" "You're nothing against the Moon Hunter Pack!" "<Aggresive snarling.>" "<Aggressive barking.>" "I must protect the pack! It's all I have left!" "Now I have to deal with intruders? Just great!" "Get away from my pack! They're all I have!" "You dare threaten my pack? I'll strike you down!" "Hunters? Curses! Vykosa will not be pleased!" "No! I won't be hunted again!" "You made a mistake coming here!" "I hope you put up a better fight than the Silver Dawn did!" "Oh! These intruders smell divine!" "How dare you go against the Moon Hunter Pack?" "No! I won't be hunted! Not again!" "How in Oblivion did hunters get in the keep?" "The pack is all I have! I won't let you take them from me!" "Trying to escape? You'll have to get through me first." "Of all the cursed luck! How did hunters get in the keep?"

"(?)"

BlackguardsEdit

Like bandit dialogue, Blackguard dialogue is unisex. Nagas:

• "Gear up! We head out when the marsh owl hoots thrice!"

VeeskhleelEdit

The following dialogue can be overheard from the Veeskhleel Argonians found in Blight Bog Sump.

"Soon Veeskhleel will outnumber any tribe. All the tribes."

"I blame the Bright-Throat eggs. They are plentiful, but weak... just like their tribe."

"What do you think the Hollow are drawn to? I tire of tracking them down."

"It still reeks of the bright-one's poison."

"I'm almost afraid to see what Ree-Nakal gives birth to next."

"Our roots will span all of Murkmire when Ree-Nakal's work is done."

"I miss the shade of the Deepmire. I suffocate in this cave."

"The only thing the Hollow are good for is mulch! They rot too quickly, for dead-walkers."

"^{they also say something about the Dead-Water hatchlings dying}

"These Hollow wither too quickly. At least their rot is of use to the sharith."

"These are not our egg-brothers and sisters... not yet."

LustrantsEdit

This dialogue may be said by Purified legionaries in the Depths of Malatar:

"Lady of Light, keep us from darkness."

"The sun sets, but her light is forever."

"I am eternally hers."

"She is our light."

"We obey, Lady of Light."

"When the world serves her, our existence will be perfect."

"Life is hers to take!"

"Her light drew you here. Submit to it."

"Purity is made from many colors."

"Obey and she is pleased."

"She is our light."

"Her light blinds the unworthy."

"No-one defies her!"

"She'll scour the impure from you. Like she did for us."

"You do not belong here!"

"Begone from Her domain!"

Tomb of the Serpents SpiritEdit

While inside the Tomb of the Serpents, you may overhear a female voice whispering to both you and the Akaviri tomb guardians.

"Kill the intruder. Only the strong can carry our message."

"Wake from your sleep. Preserve our legacy. Destroy the outsider."

"You know the messenger. If you survive, you will know the message."

"Lay down your sword, outsider. You already belong to the Akaviri."

"You are different, outsider. Perhaps you are the one to deliver our message. Perhaps you will die like the rest."

"Live, and you will share our story. Die, and you will share our tomb."

BlightedEdit

The Blighted of Cicatrice have dialogue.

"We hurt her... defiled her. Why did we defile her?"

"She wants to be left alone!"

"She doesn't want us here!"

"The lizard said she would make a cure! Please! We need a cure!"

"The oasis will heal us... yes! The oasis will heal us!"

"Why is she doing this? Why won't she let us rest?"

"It's just a rash! She swears, it's just a rash."

"Where is our cure, lizard? Where?"

"The oasis … what did we do to the oasis?"

"She just wanted us to leave. Why, why didn't we leave?"

"It's just a cough. This one is fine! She's fine!"

"Where is that cure? The lizard promised!"

"Please, let us rest. We just want to rest."

"Why did we come here?"

"They burned it all. Everything in flames."

"The lizard tricked us! Lies! All lies!"

Tenarr ZalviitEdit

The Tenarr Zalviit vampires can be overheard talking to each other:

"I never want to see that tomb again. Not even to hide from the sun."

"Don't kill everyone. Herd some to the ossuary."

"Finally we feast on rich blood!"

"The taste of hot blood. How'd we go so long without it?"

"This one used to like fowl, but after he turned, their blood seemed thin as gruel."

"We should leave the Weeping Scar. Take over somewhere worth living."

"It's been too long since we tasted life."

Sunspire SlavesEdit

The servants of Nahviintaas will shout at you.

"Now you'll learn the Way of Jone!"

"We are the Great Cat's chosen!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

"Die for Alkosh!"

"The Way of Jode will lay you low!"

"Your time is at an end. Don't fight it."

"What Alkosh wills must be done!"

"Bow before the Dragon King of Cats!"

"Alkosh has already decided the outcome."

"Rrraagh!"

"Time conquers all!"

"Khajiit will cast you from this mountain!"

"Jode! Fan our flames!"

"Alkosh!"

""

Ruddy FangsEdit

The Ruddy Fang bandits have their own things to say:

"You'd think that Azurah would have warned the old loony to stay away from bandit dens."

"What kind of fool walks into a bandit den? He's loony all right."

"If we're planning on raiding Hakoshae, I'm staying behind. Nearly got my tail chopped off last time!"

"Had another run in with Sugar-Slinger the other day. Nothing I hate more than a stuck up smuggler."

The Fangs in Southern Elsweyr also have their own dialogue apart from the ones in Northern Elsweyr.

Altmer

"If that Orc tries to pick a fight with me one more time, I'm going to cut his throat and stuff his body in a barrel."

"I wish those smoke addled wastrels would keep it down for once."

"At least we don't see many Sea Elves this far east."

Argonians

"Stay out of the stock, unless you want to wind up like those other sap lickers."

"I want to catch some jellies for dinner. I rarely have them outside Black Marsh."

"All this salt in the air gives me itchy scales."

Dunmer

"Thought smuggling skooma was supposed to be safer than slaving."

"I think the lizards are plotting something. Sleep light."

"No respectable Dunmer would take orders from an overgrown cat. Good thing we're not respectable."

"Guess the skeevers aren't scared of Khajiit. They keep getting into the sugar sacks."

Khajiit

"Whenever the shaveskins get too full of themselves, this one conjures a great tailwind to deflate them a bit."

"This one already tried flushing the waste out to sea. The tide's too strong."

"Khajiit heard one of the lunatics tried to eat another's face the other day. Stay clear of them."

"Khajiit say it's trapped moonlight in the waters. This one says it's gold."

"Khajiit should be riding the wind at full sail, not clearing cave air of skooma fumes."

"This one would break your twiggy little bones without even trying."

"This one won't hesitate to crack your skull if you can't handle your skooma."

"Bet that swill tastes like sea water. Khajiit won't touch it."

"It stinks of fish, skooma, and spew. This one would rather be out to sea."

"Filthy shaveskins. Water all around and still they do not bathe."

"You'll not smoke that stuff around this one, if you know what's good for you."

"This one has sailed with the Tigershark for years. He knows what he's doing."

"She knows sugar-tooths are mad, but she has never seen anything like this."

"Khajiit does not like the Elves. He sees how they look down their noses at us."

"What is it that makes this Moon Sugar so potent?"

"The water was so sweet at first. Now Khajiit will stick to rum."

"The Tigershark is like a mountain of sweetmeats, is he not?"

"This one thinks the skooma is cursed. We never should have defiled this place."

"This one only drinks from the shrine fonts. You should too."

Nords

"Think this stuff is sweeter than mead?"

"What do you say we strip down and take a dip?"

Orcs

"I could take one of those tusking Pahmar-raht, easy."

"Who here thinks they can drink me under the table?"

"How is it cats covered in fur can come from somewhere so hot? At least it's cool in this cove."

"How about we beat up a few of the crazies?"

Unsorted

"If the Tigershark wants to test his recipe, he can drink it himself."

"The Khajiit plan to double cross us, I'm sure of it."

"Keep slacking off and you'll get tossed to those wild sugar-tooths."

"Most of these Khajiit would make better rugs than crew."

"I say we train those drug-addled lunatics like hounds. They already go for the throat."

"Don't drink the water. Too much runoff sullying it now."

"Boss wants more volunteers. Get moving."

"Anybody tried pickling one of those jellies in the stock? Bet they'd soak it up good."

"Tried a nip of the last batch. It'll take the wind out of your sails."

"If I wanted to brew skooma, I'd have become a barman."

The skooma-crazed members of the Fangs also have unique dialogue.

"Show me your guts! Show 'em to me!"

"You won't take me!"

"Knew you were coming! Knew you were all coming for me!"

"Skooma Cat! Skooma Cat is speaking to me!"

"Stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away!"

"Who's—stop! Noise. Kill you!"

"Make it stop! Make it stop!"

"Gonna maroon me? Gonna leave me behind!"

"Come here, skeever! This one's hungry!"

"Need the sap. Split the bark and lick it up!"

"Ha! Hee! Hee! Hahaha!"

"Rah! Grr!"

"Wah! Ahh! Ahh!"

"Ahroo! Ah! Rrah!"

"Hsst! Kaoc!"

"Grrrah!"

"<Hissing, croaking, lizard noises.>"

"<Nauseated murmuring and retching.>"

"<Howling like a wolf, chuffing and raving gibberish.>"

"<Painful, miserable moaning.>"

"<Paranoid muttering, whispering to self.>"

"<Grunting, angry yelled gibberish, exertions as if smashing something.>"

"<Raving slurred gibberish.>"

"<Hysteric giggling and gibberish muttering.>"

"<Roaring, hissing, growling.>"

"<Inconsolable crying and wailing.>"

"<Violently ill, moaning, heaving.>"

"<Giddy drunk, singing slurred gibberish.>"

"<Ravenously eating something, like a wild dog.>"

"<Terrorized screaming, panic.>"

Hollowfang VampiresEdit

The Hollowfang Vampires have their own dialogue.

"This one's fur rises at the thought of what blood-mixtures can be made from a Dragon."

"Khajiit dabbles in the blood of many creatures, but never has she experimented on a Dragon."

"Save one for Nisaazda's studies!"

"Nisaazda will show us how to tame the Dragon's blood. Have faith."

"This blood-brew is potent. Trolls taste vile, but you will never feel more alive."

"Do not tell the Clan Mother, but this mixture of swamp toad and skooma will give you sugar-dreams."

"Once the Devourer has consumed its power, he will harvest Dragons enough for us all."

"The blood-mixtures made from the swamp creatures make me want to spit fur."

"Leave their bones for my pets!"

"Drink from my pet again and we'll have words."

"Khajiit kept pets in life, but this bond is stronger."

"Feast, my pets!"

"The Clan Mother gives the first bite to a shave-skin. Are there not Khajiit more deserving?"

"I have the fangs of a viper!"

"Finally, something to do!"

"There should be an etiquette. This one is tired of felling prey only to be the last to feed."

"I have a claw for your heart!"

"Took this poison from a Baandari fresh out of Murkmire. Very effective, but spoils the blood."

"Get them, darlings!"

"This one prefers her thralls to dull-clawed bloodfiends. Too feral."

"These bugs are so eager to drink and be made slaves."

"Obey, blood-thralls!"

"You dare to face me, morsel?"

"My claws will strip the flesh from your bones!"

"We smell your fear!"

"The intruders are close."

"Could a Dragon be made blood-thrall, you think?"

"Such eager prey!"

"Did you see the Devourer's fight with the Dragon? To think our blood could give us such power!"

"Khajiit has venom for your veins!"

"This place is full of moon-riddles and strange Ta'agra. Khajiit does not like it."

"The first taste is mine!"

"This one's pets are stirring. There's prey about."

"Sometimes this one thinks she should have been born a senche."

"Death by a thousand fangs!"

"Dro'zakar is on the prowl. Woe unto the prey he stalks."

"Worse than a Kotu Gava bite, yes?"

"It's the sugar that this one misses most."

"Fighting only makes the poison flow faster!"

Black GullsEdit

The Black Gull slavers of South Guard Ruins have their own dialogue as well.

"Hey, I'll tell you when I've had enough to drink!"

"Damn this humidity! Mauloch's jawbone, I miss Wrothgar."

"Calling me fat? Hrmph. I'll make him a head's weight lighter …."

"Baan Dar's arse, it's quiet. This one needs a good fight!"

"Just one more job, then it's back to the Alik'r. Just one more …."

"Laugh if you want, but I swear that catfish was as big as a senche-raht!"

"Sure, I skim a little off the top. But you'd better keep that to yourself!"

"If that slave mouths off one more time, I'm fetching my shears and cutting his tongue out."

"I don't know what to tell you. If you don't want rats in your pockets, don't keep hunks of cheese in there."

"Could have sworn I heard something. Just the damn rats again."

"This one would kill for a sweetroll. Seriously—who should I kill?"

"Got to watch your step in the shallows nowadays. One of those salamanders almost got me!"

"Wharf rat? Fetching nchow. Nobody calls me a wharf rat. Nobody!"

"Oblivion take that son of a guar. I'll point a knife at whoever I damn well please!"

"Just let those slaves try to escape. This one could use the target practice."

"Shields of Senchal? Heh. Just let them try to block us."

"Where are all the would-be heroes? We need some excitement around here!"

"Where's the damn grog? You better not have drunk it all!"

"Salted pork, salted pork, always salted pork! Can we get some greens around here?"

"Scrawny jekosiits …. Eat a steak for Mara's sake."

"Guard duty. Hmph. What a waste of time."

"Cats and their sugar. Where can a man find a decent kabob around here?"

"Dragons … feh. I dare one of those lizards to come tangle with us."

"Ugh. I don't even want to know what the cook put in that stew."

"More moldy bread? That does it. I'm on the next ship to Summerset."

"Rats aren't so bad. Sure, they carry diseases, but who here doesn't?"

"Keep a sharp eye, mate. Too many newcomers prowling about."

"Who's got the water skin? It's too damned hot down here …."

"Never seen a dragon before. Way I hear it, they could swallow a whale in one gulp!"

"Ugh. One more hour till my shift's over. One more hour …."

"Heard there's a hurricane bearing down on us. Make sure everything's tied down, eh?"

"Fifteen gold says this one can strike a frog's eye at fifty paces. Any takers?"

"Bastard wants to eyeball me? This one's got two arrows to fix that problem."

"Slaves, mudcrabs, lazy hackwings …. I need a real challenge!"

"Anybody up for a game of dice? I'm falling asleep here …."

New Moon CultistsEdit

"Ra'khajin revealed the path. Now we must walk it."

"The New Moon rises … as do we."

"Blessed New Moon, speak the word, and this one shall drown Elsweyr in blood."

"We shall tear the old Pellitine apart, stone by stone."

"The old gods will disappear in ash and blood. Hail the New Moon!"

"To doubt is a sin! The New Moon's power is absolute!"

"I fear no Dragons, for the Dragons are my allies …."

"Fools! Unbelievers! We shall show them the New Moon's strength soon enough."

"The old gods will disappear in ash and blood. Hail the New Moon!"

"This one shall know the New Moons' secrets! He must know!"

"The old order will burn, and we shall usher in the new."

"The rule of Dragons will save us all."

"Patience …. Elsweyr will burn. Very soon."

"Curse the old moons, Jone and Jode! The New Moon shall rule the sky soon enough"

Apprentices:

"Yes! Yes! This one hears your commands, Ra'khajin!"

"We must prepare our flesh for the fires to come! Join me, brothers and sisters!"

"Elsweyr's rebirth is upon us! Repent and serve!"

"This one will serve. This one must serve!"

"Wield my strength, New Moon. Make me a vessel for your wrath!"

"A new era approaches, born in flame and death!"

"We shall tear the old Pellitine apart, stone by stone."

"Tell this one to pray, and he shall pray. Tell this one to kill, and he shall kill."

"This one shall prove himself! Look upon my works, New Moon!"

"The New Moon shall rise in glory! Listen! Listen to me!"

"My strength is yours to command, Ra'khajin!"

"Ra'khajin speaks the New Moon's truth, and this one obeys."

"Senchal shall burn in the Dragons' fire!"

"Why must we wait? Our moment of glory is at hand!"

"The people will join us eventually … or they will burn."

"If blood must be shed, then this one shall wield the knife."

Icereach CovenEdit

The Reachmen on Icereach can be heard talking.

"Let the Nords come, I say. More blood for the Coven."

"Keep an eye out for the bear-woman. Big as an ox, she is!"

"They'll never take this island away from us. Never."

"That storm … I've never seen anything like it."

"A nice warm goat shank. That's what I need."

"Mother Ciannait would never join forces with an outsider. You must be mistaken."

"The Reach belongs to us. Never forget it."

"Summoning a storm like this? That's true power."

"I don't care if you're cold. Quit your bellyaching."

"Eyes sharp. Some of those Nords could still be skulking around."

"The Glenmoril Coven? Nothing but tree-worshippers. The Icereach are true witches!"

"Touch me again, and I'll cut off your hand."

"I don't know what Bani's working on, but you'd best give it a wide berth."

"You better not have stolen my blanket. I already warned you once."

"Cold, eh? Good. I like it cold."

"She's still around here somewhere. A Nord that big can't hide forever."

"Keep your voice down. Who Mother Ciannait allies with is none of your concern."

Engaging them in combat:

"Slaughter them!"

"Cut their heads off!"

"This island will be your grave!"

"Cut their tongues out!"

"Drive them back to the sea!"

"You've made a huge mistake."

"Send their souls to Hircine!"

"Gut those intruders!"

"Knives out, Reachmen!"

"Rip them apart!"

"Icereach for the Reachmen!"

"For the Reach!"

"You're done for!"

"To battle, Reachmen!"

"Trespassers! After them!"

"Nord scum? Kill them!"

"Time to die!"

DraugrkinEdit

The graverobbing Draugrkin can be overheard in the Unhallowed Grave.

"Ugh. This ash … my boots are full of it!"

"Oh, you got one of those new grapple bows? Lucky bastard."

"The one who hired us? I hear even Kjalnar's scared of him!"

"If you die down here, I'll raise you as a thrall!"

"Ugh, this place is too damned hot."

"Way I hear it, they buried something else down here. Something big."

"Gray Host? More like Gray Toast! Am I right? Am I …? Ah, never mind."

"What's Kjalnar doing, anyway? He should be shoveling ash like the rest of us."

"This place is too damned hot."

"Did you see the teeth on that skull? It was a vampire all right."

"What're you looking at? Get back to work."

"We almost done here? Got a bad feeling about this place."

"Fjarold fell down the crevasse. You believe that? What an idiot."

"How many of these things do we have to fill?"

"Bah! To Oblivion with these ashes! Let's grab a few of those statues instead!"

"We'd better be well-paid for this."

"Yeah, I saw a vampire once. Burned him alive, I did!"

"Another day, another robbery."

Engaging them in combat:

"Cut them off! Don't let them escape!"

"Meddling bastards! Put a knife in them!"

"On your feet, Draugrkin! Get them!"

"Bones, bones … it's like a damned kennel in here."

"You think you can steal from us?"

"Intruders! Bury them like the others!"

"Look lively, now! Intruders!"

"Look! More corpses!"

"Are you ready to die?"

"Finally! Been itching for a good scrap!"

"Knives out, Draugrkin!"

"We'll take your bones too!"

"What do you think you're doing here?"

"You looking to get buried too? Fine!"

"Bring them down!"

"Snuff them out, lads!"

"Prepare to die!"

"You're in for it now!"

"No survivors!"

In Midnight Barrow:

"Idiot. The dead are the treasure here."

"I'm keeping that one. It's got good teeth."

"This might be a better haul than the one in Bangkorai."

"Who's afraid of some ghosts?"

"You seen one barrow, you seen'em all."

"Hoo, don't take a whiff out of one of those jars."

Riften RatwayEdit

The vampires in the Riften Ratway can be overheard.

"I'm bored. I need a throat to rip out."

"I am meant for more important tasks than these."

"I thirst."

"Soon everything will be in place."

"The next prey is mine."

"Find your own shadow. This spot is mine."

"My fangs for a decent meal!"

"That witch gave me a look."

"Too many ceremonies for my taste."

"Tell me the word has been sent."

"I smell fresh blood!"

"All this waiting gets on my nerves."

"My thirst must be sated!"

"I crave blood!"

Greymoor VampiresEdit

Greymoor Prologue Witches and VampiresEdit

Icereach Coven

"Sister Balra is a taskmaster."

"The land of the Nords will soon be ours."

"We still have much work to do."

"Every day brings us closer to our goal."

"By blood and ice!"

"The ice in my veins burns cold!"

"I miss our frozen shores."

"We have nothing to fear from the Skald-King's agents."

"Bone and ash, unleash your fury!"

"I'll cleave your bones in twain!"

"Someone take this cadaver to storage!"

"Did you hear what happened at the other camp?"

"Working with those not of the coven … it disgusts me."

"Neither the matron nor Sister Balra tolerate failure."

"Isn't the new ritual exhilarating?"

"Stay alert. The plan has reached a crucial stage."

"Has Sister Balra perfected the ritual yet?"

"I need something to kill."

"May the matron guide you."

"All shall bow before our coven!"

"I serve the Icereach Coven."

"Aren't the new bloodfiends adorable?"

"The ritual grows more perfect every day."

Vampires

"Remain vigilant. We are close to our goal."

"This land is full of fat, sluggish prey."

"Where are the witches when you need one?"

"May the night hide you, my brethren."

"They call that a storm?"

"I grow tired of this place."

"Why am I being punished with such menial tasks?"

"I deserve better than this."

"Why do they keep sending me to places such as this?"

"The coven serves a purpose, yes?"

"I crave blood!"

"My thirst must be sated!"

"I smell fresh blood!"

"Tell me the word has been sent."

"Too many ceremonies for my taste."

"That witch gave me a look."

"My fangs for a decent meal!"

"Find your own shadow. This spot is mine."

"The next prey is mine."

"I thirst."

Western Skyrim ReachmenEdit

Shadowgreen

"Let us give the mountain a taste for Nord blood!"

"Og il dunna travern. Shal shug oh pater noch."

"Drown the Nord-swine in the hot blood of the mountain!"

"The vines whisper of intruders in our midst. Be wary."

"Call upon the blessed warmth of light for us, and the wrath of flame and stone for the Nord."

"Feed the mountain to bursting!"

"Fir co non madoora. Fir na nog camare!"

"Mind what you grab for kindling. The spriggans loathe those Nords as we do."

"The sun will soon set on the kingdoms of Nords."

Dragon Bridge Smuggler Caves

"One of these days Vund will blow himself up, and us with him."

"Vund's methods are foreign, but there's no questioning their effectiveness."

"I can't wait to see that bridge turned to rubble."

"The bridge is just the start."

"The smugglers were resourceful, at least."

"The smugglers had to die, they'd outlived their usefulness."

"These fools have no idea what's coming."

"I feel our power grow."

"Vund can dissolve stone, he is capable of anything."

"The Reach shall be victorious!"

"Once the bridge falls, we will make our move."

"The Reach will weaken this land."

"We will make them fear the Reach."

"Has Vund completed the reagent yet?"

"Vund has true vision. The Reach will triumph under his leadership."

"With fire and stone we will turn this place to rubble!"

"Those fools underestimated the Reach."

"What did Vund do with the big one? I saw them dragging him off."

"The alchemical solution should be ready by now."

"The garrison was weak before we arrived. They will fall easily."

"No longer will we hide."

"Vund may be crazy, but his power is incredible."

"Solitude will mourn its precious bridge."

"The bridge will fall like a wounded animal."

Stone GardenEdit

Idle:

"I don't care if they are our guests. The werewolves need to stop shedding in the lab."

"Hear about that explosion yesterday? No, another one."

"I've been itching for a fight! Least I hope that's what it was."

"Hey! Keep out of the laboratory!"

"Arkasis is going to change the world. Into what, I don't know."

"They say the first step to learning alchemy is to start putting things in your mouth."

"Careful taking kit from potion storage. I don't see'em washing those bottles."

"Might want to wait a moment between drinking those. They react poorly."

"I don't know. Arkasis doesn't seem that crazy."

"Would it kill them to label what could kill us?"

"I didn't come here to pick mushrooms. I want to work in the laboratory!"

"Feels good to be part of something. Besides a cult, I mean."

"Don't tell the boss, but a little mead helps his potions go down."

"Standing guard is the least dangerous job here."

"Ho ho! That second dose was a good idea!"

"I did poison tasting yesterday. Can't feel my tongue, but I'm getting good at it."

"Sure the pay's not great, but free health potions."

"You feel that shaking? Cave in? Yes there's coffee in this potion. Why?"

"I'm just here to stand watch and get paid. I'm not helping with your study."

Entering combat:

"I'm off testing duty tonight!"

"Time to earn my keep. I guess."

"You can't stop progress!"

"I've been meaning to try this poison!"

"Durzog's are getting dinner tonight!"

"Found some spies!"

"You picked the wrong place to explore!"

"Spare a few for the laboratory!"

"Found some fungus feed!"

"I'll finally get promoted to the laboratory!"

"Nobody disturbs the great Arkasis!"

"Hey! You're not volunteers!"

"I found trespassers! It was me!"

Castle ThornEdit

Idle:

"The blood tastes fresher when they are scared."

"Something about Argonian blood tastes off to me."

"The wood from Skyrim makes the strongest bows."

"The Lady deserves our trust and our blades."

"Even I get lost when walking around this castle."

"Our blessing will kill them all. Slowly."

"Even hunting rats would be more fun than this."

"Her blood holds power to shape as we wish."

"The fiends smell a bit ripe after a while."

"Let us hope that our control runes for Vaduroth stay in place."

"Those new vampires shouldn't be possible. And yet, they exist."

"The Lady wishes to explore more avenues of power."

"I'll be honest, I don't understand a word Vaduroth says."

"I look forward to our final march on Skyrim."

"Savor these calms, because the bloodshed soon begins."

"Does it ever feel like the gargoyles are watching you?"

"We hunt them, we find them. They never see us."

"Ahahaha! Haha! Hahahahahahaha!"

"I had a perfect shot, right between the eyes."

"They mock us. Despise us."

"When does the supposed conquering begin?"

"Who picks up after the death hounds?"

"No one gets past me with their limbs intact."

"Have you ever used a bloodfiend to practice your aim?"

"Lady Thorn demands perfection from all her clan."

"The Lady's time grows nearer!"

"That was definitely a rumble! Let's go check the castle."

"Our research is going too slowly."

Entering combat:

"We shall bleed you dry!"

"Our Lady demands a feast!"

"Interlopers? In our Lady's home?"

"Your death shall not be quiet!"

"A meal for the pets!"

"You cannot interrupt Vaduroth's harvest!"

"Hearty stock for Vaduroth!"

"You were not invited!"

"These souls are weak!"

"Now I can try my new spells!"

"Chop them into pieces!"

"How dare you breach the Lady's home?"

"Hang them to bleed!"

"Drag them to the pens below!"

"Save a few for the cages!"

"We shall make you into a fiend!"

"Ha! More training practice!"

"Our home is breached! Kill them!"

"Finally, some action!"

"I prefer my meals on skewers!"

Reach Gray Host SoldiersEdit

"Everything is going according to the Ashen Lord's plan."

"The Gray Host. I love the sound of that."

"Reach blood! Tastes as bad as I expected."

"For blood and glory!"

"Let the mortals tremble in our wake!"

"Some of the vampires treat us like dogs. I hate that."

"And that's when I ate him."

"I'll tear out their hearts! See if I don't!"

"I prefer my meals … raw."

"Stay focused. We have a job to do."

"Work hard and we'll make an exarch out of you yet."

"Gray Host over all!"

"I'll test my claws against their steel any day!"

"I can smell their fear in the air."

"The Reachfolk thought they had me surrounded. Stupid mortals."

"By claw and fang, as the Ashen Lord commands, we obey!"

"I do enjoy a good amount of clawing and slashing."

"The Heart must be fed. I have no wish to crawl again."

"Whose support can I count on?"

"I hate it when the food fights back!"

"Can you believe it? We're part of an ancient army!"

"This land … I can't believe we need something in this place."

"Stay focused or you'll answer to the Ashen Lord!"

"For the Ashen Lord!"

"These Reachfolk are no match for my claws."

"Ripped the arm right off! You should have been there."

"I'll tear out their hearts and swallow them whole!"

"You say the enemy, I say dinner."

Story-Related Gray Host DialogueEdit

"Remain vigilant. Those who trespassed in the Keep may still be around."

"It seems to me this may actually represent an opportunity of sorts. Belain is out of the way."

"You call it a battle, I call it a meal!"

"I've heard the Ashen Lord has been planning this conquest for thousands of years. It'll be magnificent."

"I was with Varen's legion before Bal's invasion. Got bitten at one of the Dark Anchors. Heh, now look at me."

"Let the mortals struggle, our conquest is close to complete."

"I was born near Verkarth, or what remains. A shame I never visited."

"I used to be part of the Bangkorai Garrison when I was alive. Ironic, eh?"

"I hate the taste of these Reachfolk. Gamey."

"I don't get why we don't slaughter those Ravenwatch sympathizers. No, no, I'm not questioning our leader."

"I just love, love, love all this death! I've never felt so alive!"

"I had my fill of Reachman blood when we drove them out of the Empire."

"Let these idiots squabble over rocks and dirt. The Ashen Lord has grander plans."

"Have you seen the Ashen Lord do battle? We are mere shadows by comparison."

"I can still hardly believe the Ashen Lord is a sword-saint. I thought the Ansei were the fanciful legends of my ancestors."

"I don't pretend to understand the Ashen Lord's plans, I just trust he knows what he's doing."

"Do you ever miss being alive? Hah, me neither."

"The sun's not so bad. Reminds me of taking a really hot bath. I used to love those."

"Always terrorize your prey before you sink your fangs in, it gives the blood an exquisite taste."

"The Dark Heart's becoming a prize fought over by upstarts and outsiders. I do not like it."

"I have some ideas about how the Nighthollow can survive this setback. Thrive, even."

"Why are we attacking that location again?"

"I've never been more grateful to be numb to the cold."

"I was never partial to my old life anyway."

"I do miss the desert sands of home, but the sun was deadly there even before my tranformation."

"Remind me to tell you the legend of Leki's Blade sometime."

"Can't say I like working with the Nighthollow clan. Give me the creeps."

"My old clan would be considered positively wretched compared to the Gray Host. Joining was the best thing I've ever done."

"I guess I do feel a little bad for the mortals … but somebody's got to be the food."

"Ugh, I can't believe I used to be one of those cowering livestock, reeking of piss and fear."

Ghostsong ClansmenEdit

"I wanted to go first, but Nathari said the strong must help the weak see things through."

"The light … it pains me …"

"The price must be paid. Do they not see that?"

"Our work is only beginning. Do not forget why we are here!"

"I know Nathari's right. She's been right about everything. But this is harder than I thought it would be."

"I don't like these Gray Host cutters standing about and watching. They're not welcome here."

"Something stirs in the depths. I can hear it calling to me."

"I think it's going well. Don't you?"

"They seek to rouse the Heart, do they? I should like to see that …"

"Nathari had better be right about this. I thought we'd all hear Namira's voice by now."

"I know. We can't stop now. We have to see this through to the end."

"This is taking too long. The waiting isn't easy."

"The price must be paid. Do they not see that?"

"What will it be like, I wonder? To be raised up by the Spirit Queen?"

"It seems as though I have waited all my life for this day."

"I do not belong here anymore … let me rest …"

"How I longed for this day. Soon all that we have given up will be repaid twofold."

"The Spirit Queen is here. Can't you feel her presence in the shadows?"

"What do you think? Could we add some Gray Host to the ritual? They're here, aren't they?"

"I wish there was another way."

"Are the werewolves to be next? It might be best to see them off while we have the numbers to overpower them."

"This is our time, our day of victory. We will show them all!"

"This place … I know it now. Ah, they should not have brought me here."

"What have I been summoned for? What is this place?"

"Is it time yet? Is it time?"

"We should join the others below."

"These are dark days. No one argues that."

Nighthollow ClanEdit

The non-feral members of the Nighthollow Clan occasionally speak.

"Why have we been forsaken?"

"Blood, I miss its coppery taste."

"Must feed …."

"Lady Belain? Are you there?"

"The Void, it calls to me."

"I crave blood, yet it does not sate me."

"We have been weak for too long."

"Why do I feel so empty?"

"Once, the Reach feared the night."

"I long for the touch of the Void."

"Lady Belain says we will be restored."

"I don't want to become one of the crawlers."

"No living thing may pass."

"I just need one more drop …."

Thornroot ClansmenEdit

Members of the Thornroot Clan at Briar Rock Ruins will occasionally speak aloud.

"Aye, so far, so good. But what will the Hagravens do when there are no more Hillhunters to turn?"

"I say we've got all the Briarhearts we need. Where should we strike first?"

"This is taking too long. The days are growing shorter."

"I've heard that we sent runners to the Six-Fords and the Wildspears. Our cages won't be empty for long."

"We've more Briarheart seeds than subjects. We need to find more wilders."

"What sort of Briarhearts will these Hillhunters make? They didn't have much fight in them."

"I heard that the Hillhunter chief's daughter slipped away. She can't have gotten far."

"I'm coming to like it here in these old ruins. Stay here and reinforce the defenses, I say."

"This won't end well. Mark my words."

"I hear Ard Caddach's calling the clans to Markarth. Does that include the Thornroots?"

"Watch what you say around the Hagravens, or you'll wind up with a tree in your chest too."

"Ach! That last one was a screamer. No pride at all."

"I hear the Hagravens have something special planned for the Hillhunter chief."

"Would it be asking too much for the prisoners to meet their fate with some courage?"

"I don't care for being at a Hagraven's beck and call. Where's our chief in all this?"

"I don't see why we can't have a little sport before we plant them. Right?"

"Enough with the sacrifices and the mumbling over ritual fires. I'm ready for a fight."

"Keep out of the crypts. The Draugr are restless."

"I told the Hagravens these wanderers would make poor soil for their crop."

"Turning these Hillhunter cowards into Briarhearts is more than they deserve."

"I know there are more Hillhunters out there. We should run them to the ground."

Lothid ClanEdit

"Counting fleshflies on a bloodfiend … it soothes me."

"Guard duty. I hate guard duty."

"I heard the Ravenwatch is sniffing around."

"Do you think Kathad is right about Boss Trenlor?"

"Lothid used to be a more noble clan."

"I can't believe the boss banished Freyleth to the Deep Tombs."

"Boss Trenlor may have gone too far this time."

"I say it's time to hunt our enemies instead of the other way around."

"After he tossed Freyleth down here, I thought I was going to be next!"

"I suppose guarding the prisoners is better than being a prisoner."

"And then Boss Trenlor said, "Time to die, mortal!" It was hilarious!"

"If that prisoner says another word, I'm draining them dry!"

"I used to get to lounge around all day in Boss Trenlor's court. Not anymore."

"Boss Trenlor says I can terrorize the villagers next time!"

"Imprisoning our own clan members seems … wrong."

"I wonder if Boss Trenlor will share some of the good stuff tonight."

"A true vampire shouldn't have to patrol the Deep Tombs. It's degrading."

"Are we going on another raid? I like raids!"

"Sure the boss is powerful. But he's also a little touched in the head."

"What's tonight's entertainment? Have you heard?"

"Why do we have to patrol this level? The prisoners aren't going anywhere."

"Pick a bloodfiend for the celebration."

The CauldronEdit

The Waking Flame cultists in The Cauldron occasionally speak while idle.

"Never could I dream of such gifts as these!"

"Only the finest heartwood for my staves."

"Just don't make eye contact and they won't hurt you."

"Behold the majesty! Such an honor to be in this place!"

"All around us, his power grows."

"These potions take forever to blend, but they pack a punch."

"A delicate veil separates us, soon torn apart."

"I wish we could just get this over with already!"

""

""

""

""

""

""

When you engage them in combat, they might say:

"They found us!"

"Inconsequential bugs!"

"You shall not interrupt our work!"

"You think you can best us?"

"Taste our Lord's power!"

"More ^fiends?, coming for blood!"

Castle Giovesse GhostsEdit

"Protect the castle! Nobody gets through!"

"Damn it! Why can't I remember?"

"Hate them! I hate them!"

"Something's wrong. I shouldn't be here."

"Protect the castle! No one gets through!"

"Intruders …. Intruders everywhere!"

"I won't abandon ever my post, sire … ever."

"Why hasn't this day ended yet …? Why?"

Deadlands DremoraEdit

Idling:

"These mortals keep approaching me and asking for armor. As if their fragile skeletons wouldn't crumble under the weight alone."

When you begin combat with the Havocrel Duke of Cataclysms, the summoned Daedra may say:

"You will not interfere with our lord's plan."

"My wrath will not end with you. You've doomed your family line by coming here."

"Your chances of survival are as small as you."

"How can you battle disaster, puny mortal?"

"Feast upon the weak."

"You can't stop the flood with a sword!"

"Destruction in Dagon's name!"

"Show me your blood, mortal."

"Fire and flood take you!"

"To battle! For Dagon!"

"I shall take your skull as a keepsake!"

"Fire consume you!"

"Mortals have a stench about them."

"Your frailty betrays you, mortal."

"All will fall before me!"

"The Lord of Devastation sends his regards."

"Come and find your end, mortal."

"Like fire from the sky!"

Order of the Waking FlameEdit

Members of the Order of the Waking Flame have ambient dialogue that is uttered while they idle.

Fort Redmane	Doomvault Capraxus	Doomvault Vulpinaz
"Lord Vandacia promised a great reward to the one who delivers him the Ambitions." "Check the bodies of the slain! The Ambitions may be feigning death." "It has begun! Look, we are in the Master's realm!" "Look. The Prince's mortal minion has claimed the first of his prizes."	"Search every corner, every chamber! They must be here." "Find the Ambitions!"	"We can make use of this place again. Xigira will make it so." "Xigira lured those fools so easily. A little gold does wonders."

†Uttered by Xivilai or Dremora allied with the cult

Rockgrove DaedraEdit

Dremora at the Tower of Five Crimes in Rockgrove will say one of the following while idle:

"If that Harvester takes any more time with those souls, I am going to start adding the scaled insects to the feast. Maybe that'll speed this up."

"I can't wait for my turn to tear the souls from those cowering clawed bodies."

"Once the Harvester is full, it'll be time to end this interminable break and strike the mortals down where they stand."

"Mortals think they know all about how to torture one another. Pssh. They're too focused on limbs to recognize it even if I boiled the bile in their stomachs."

"Guar dung! The best thing these mortals can do for our lord is give their souls to the Harvesters."

"Just a few more souls and then death and destruction will reign."

"These mortals better be right about feeding Xalvakka all those souls, otherwise I'm going to burn them all myself."

If you engage them in combat, they'll say:

"Attack me in my own homeland? Can you be less of an idiot?"

"Hope these mortals like the view of the Deadlands. It's the only view they'll ever see."

"Your journey ends here."

"Give up."

"I'll cut you to ribbons and feed you to the fire."

"You made a fatal error coming here."

"My lord Dagon doesn't want someone as puny as you."

"End this farce and I will take less pleasure in watching you burn."

"What makes you think you're worthy of my time?"

"Burn like the others."

"There are vermin everywhere, even here."

"You're out numbered here."

"You will die choking on the smoke of your own body."

"I'll grind you to a paste."

Havocrel may speak while idle:

"The others get to exalt Dagon in the Deadlands, why do I have to remain here?"

Havocrel may say the following when they are engaged in combat:

"Burn in my fires."

"Dagon notice my prowess."

Sul-XanEdit

While idle, the Sul-Xan in Rockgrove will say:

"Stay here. Wait. Wait for what? Scales to fall off?"

"Nothing is sure, which is why our lord will rise. He cannot be stopped and neither will my bloodlust. I just wish he would get on with it already. All this planning is making my scales chafe."

"Our work shouldn't take too much longer now."

"Look, all I'm saying is that the beast won't care if the sacrifices have all their toes attached to them."

"Another unprepared tribe attempted to overthrow our plans a few days ago, Prince of Disaster took them all in his glorious blaze."

"The next sacrifice I see will get descaled like a fish, always wanted to see what that'd look like."

"Muck and slate, ugh. My claws long to dig scratches into scorching rock."

"I've felt his might myself. When the earth shook and Dagon spoke to me … I'd never felt anything like it before. It was pure power. True power. The power of a Prince."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"This place would be a lot more interesting if we all didn't have the same goal."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Hope someone has planned something else for us to eat. If it's overcooked meat again tonight I will not be responsible for my actions."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Planning to take over the world is hard work. Once this is over and Dagon rules everything, I'm going to sleep for a fortnight."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"I'm not sure how large our lord is. He's said to be tall, but, the sky goes on forever in the Deadlands. He'd never have to stop growing."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"The trick is to remember not to eat after handling poison. Or rub your scales."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Promised me a hunt. No hunt here."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Mark your fruitless eyes, when this ritual is done our lord will know what we've achieved and will praise us."

"So many arsonists in one place, how are there still trees?"^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"I'm not saying we should kill them all and be done with it, but would gagging them hurt?"^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"That fool thinks I'll believe that was just a prank. A prank? My tail that was a prank. When I'm through with him …."

"You'd think the prisoners would give up on mercy already. We've slaughtered enough for that."

"No complaints here. Waiting around gives me time to make sure my blades are sharpened."

"I wanted to be the one to deal with the sacrifices."

"Rocks. Stone. Molten rivers. No difference."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"It's amazing how you make all those traps in such short time. Pssh. Stupid spineless hatchlings. I make them beforehand."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

Members of the tribe located in Rockgrove may say:

"Bahsei's plans draw us ever closer to the Lord of Blood and Flames."

"Hope Xalvakka doesn't mind taking the crazy ones. I swear we've broken more minds then we started with."

"Bahsei's plans have never let us down. She's the commander we never knew we were lacking for all those years."

"Bahsei is the one with plans. I just want to watch the fires."

"I like it when the sacrifices scream."

"The sacrifices should save their sniveling for someone who cares, Lord Dagon shows no mercy and neither do we."

When you engage them in combat, members of the Sul-Xan in Rockgrove may say:

"A hero? Here?"

"Come to provide some entertainment?"

"How many blows can you stand?"

"Die with dignity."

"A sacrifice with strength and will? Xalvakka will enjoy you."

"This is my kill."

"I don't know how you got passed [sic] everyone else, but you won't get passed [sic] me."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Been waiting for a good fight."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"I'll tear you to pieces."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Weren't you taught not to meddle in the affairs of others?"^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Ha. You think you can stop Dagon?"^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Oh, did that hurt?"^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"I'll spare you the sight of what will come next."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Give your life for my cause."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"You will feel my arrows in your back."

"Strike the newcomer down."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"The beast will enjoy feasting on you."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"I will cut you to ribbons."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Let me add a scar to your face."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"I'll cut you down."

"My blade thirsts for your blood."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Foul stinking creatures, you cannot hide from me."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Give me your life or I'll take it."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"I'm looking for a challenge, don't be disappointing."^{[verification needed — see talk page]}

"Intruder!"

"Finally, something to burn."

Knights of the Silver RoseEdit

"Discipline. Discipline is the key to becoming a bearer."

"Can't look away … can't look away …."

"I heard Volendrung was found in Cyrodiil. Now that'd be a prize for one of Malacath's own."

"Have you ever held a Daedric artifact? Pure power. There is no feeling like it."

"Is it hubris to wield the Daedra's power against them? I say it is hubris to believe we can best them without it."

"Special training? I'll stick with my bow, thanks."

"The Prior should let me try taming an artifact of Malacath. It's only natural."

"The Divines give us power over Daedra. We must use it. "

"Even bearers must observe protocol. So says the Prior."

"One day, the Silver Rose will possess the strength to claim the Battlespire for ourselves."

When engaged in combat:

"We are beyond your reach, heathens."

The Dread CellarEdit

The Crimson Oath warriors in The Dread Cellar occasionally speak while idle.

"For the glory of the clan!"

"Why does Lord Dagon entrust the construction to these fool mortals?"

"These Waking Flame have their uses. Submission, for one."

"We are the Crimson Oath. We are Dagon's most trusted. Not them."

"Take care handling the agonymium stones. They thirst for mortal suffering."

"Bored, bored, bored. Why couldn't I have been summoned somewhere more interesting?"

"The torture here must have been marvelous to watch."

"Drawing out pain and fear? My talents have never been more suited to a task."

When you engage them in combat, they might say:

"Submit, creature."

"Kill!"

The Waking Flame cultists in The Dread Cellar occasionally speak while idle.

"Cower before the Waking Flame!"

"Don't let the Crimson Oath act like our betters. They are brute killers, nothing more."

"I never aim for anything vital. I like to watch them writhe."

When you engage them in combat, they might say:

"Finally! I can burn someone!"

"Burn for Dagon!"
