Initiate Josseline

Initiate Josseline is a Breton member of the Society of the Dragon and the sister of Crafty Lerisa. After a crisis she found comfort in the Society, but is unaware of its brutal treatment of those with alternate views. Lerisa recruited a friend to expose Josseline to those views and make her leave the Society.

Quest-Related Events

After being taken hostage by Lieutenant Mervial, you'll find yourself inside the Tower of Judgement standing trial in front of the Grand Chanter, the Lieutenant, the initiates you harassed earlier, and an initiate you have not met before, Initiate Josseline:

Grand Chanter Surus : "Lieutenant, how has this heretic transgressed against the Dragon God?"

Lieutenant Mervial : "By spreading the word of Boethiah to the initiates."

Grand Chanter Surus : "There's only one punishment for blasphemy. Behead them!"

Initiate Josseline : "What? Isn't that a little extreme?"

Grand Chanter Surus : "You dare question the will of Akatosh?"

Initiate Josseline : "It doesn't say anything about beheadings in the Book of Akatosh."

Grand Chanter Surus : "Silence, initiate! Lieutenant, deliver Akatosh's justice."

Crafty Lerisa : "Is this the life you hoped for, Josseline?"

Initiate Josseline : "Lerisa? I should have known! I'm leaving."

Crafty Lerisa : "I like the sound of that. Time to go."

During the escape Josseline will give you and Lerisa the slip. Lerisa will send you to search for her and you'll eventually find her at one of the Shrines of Akatosh that dots the Gold Coast:

"You're working for my sister, right? How did you find me? No, never mind. Just tell me if you're here to talk or to kill me."

Why would you think I'm here to kill you?

"Oh, just those little things I noticed, like that cold look in your eyes. Or your rants about the splendor of Boethiah. Isn't killing what a disciple of the warrior prince does best?"

I'm just trying to help. Speaking of which ….

"Yeah, about that. I'm done with the Society of the Dragon. Turns out, religion doesn't really agree with the women in my family. Especially not a crazy cult with a murderous priest for a leader."

How did you get drawn into the Grand Chanter's cult?

"Now you're starting to really curl my spine. I could ask you the same. Just what were you doing spouting that Boethiah nonsense in Kvatch? Are you some sort of Daedra out to prove a point?
Are you … are you Sheogorath?"

No. Just a friend.

"That's... a more honest answer than I expected. My sister sent you, didn't she? She just couldn't let me deal with this myself, could she? And oh look, there's Lerisa now. What a surprise."

You should talk to her, Josseline.

[Lie] Yes! I'm Sheogorath. You discovered my clever ploy.

"That was … unconvincing. Who taught you how to lie? Besides, even Sheogorath has too much self-respect to be involved with this family drama. Oh look. My sister's coming. What a surprise.
I suppose I should put my knives away now."

Knives? What knives?

Lerisa will appear from the brush:

Crafty Lerisa : "Josseline, Josseline. Could you be any more predictable?"

Initiate Josseline : "My dear sister, I knew you'd find me. Are you here to kill me, too?"

Josseline and her sister

After speaking to her sister:

Initiate Josseline : "Every time you help me, someone winds up dead. Couldn't you let me deal with this myself?"

Crafty Lerisa : "I didn't like the way we left things, Josseline. And when I realized what the Grand Chanter was up to …."

Initiate Josseline : "So my big sister sails in to rescue me. Again. Tell me, how many did the Grand Chanter kill?"

Crafty Lerisa : "At least three people since I've been paying attention. I haven't been in town that long."

Initiate Josseline : "So you called in someone to help?"

(If you told her you were Sheogorath, she'll say instead: "So you called in Sheogorath over there?")

Crafty Lerisa : "I know you're angry, but he really would have killed you, Josseline. I couldn't let that happen."

Initiate Josseline : "You don't have to worry about me anymore. I'm done with the Society and I'm done with Kvatch. But I am not going with you."

Crafty Lerisa : "Fair enough. But any time you need me, I'll be there."

Initiate Josseline : "I know. Goodbye, sister."

Josseline walks away and fades in the distance.
