Dialogue

Throughout the White-Gold Tower are Speaking Stones which show conversations between the Empress Regent and General Velarius.

The first Speaking Stone, in the Lower Elder Scrolls Library:

General Velarius "Empress Regent. I arrived as soon as I could. How can the Imperial Legions serve your highness?"

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "General Velarius. I need you to spare me a regiment of your elite."

General Velarius "I…of course, but for what purpose? Imperial City is crawling with Daedra."

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "Just a single regiment. Have them report personally to me. I require the utmost secrecy about this. They will serve in your name."

General Velarius "As you wish, Empress Regent."

The second Speaking Stone, in the Imperial Battlemage Quarters:

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "General. I'm certain that you have plenty to do today. How can I help you?"

General Velarius "My officers report you requested Legion members directly to your personal service. May I ask why? Do you intend to feed them to the Daedra, as well?"

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "Mind your tone. I already apologized for the incident. I am no strategist, but your men did not die in vain."

General Velarius "I won't grant this request."

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "It's an order from your Empress, General."

General Velarius "With all due respect...."

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "I know of the personal posting you made, general. Wasn't your daughter injured in a recent attack?"

General Velarius "Is that a threat? The healers say we can't risk moving her out of the City and those guards...."

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "Are the only thing keeping the Daedra away from your mansion. But they're also a waste of military resources. I'd be happy to leave them be if your cooperate. Consider it, General."

The third Speaking Stone, in the Imperial Regent's Quarters:

General Velarius "Empress Regent. These troop movements....they're nonsensical."

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "They are necessary. The Waterfront District must be defended."

General Velarius "Empress, that District hold no strategic value. You'd be sending these men to die for nothing."

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "Why do you continue to oppose me?"'

General Velarius "Why do you insist on playing general? I must refuse this, Empress."

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "Then the Elder Council will hear about the extra postings. Your questionable command decisions."

General Velarius "Make your threats. My men are loyal to me. I will personally see to it the Legion is done with you. Go back to ruling your Empire, such as it is."

Empress-Regent Clivia Tharn: "This means war, General."
