Quest-Related Events[edit]
Banishing the Banished[edit]
Once the Cell Haunter is killed, Keeper Areldur will be freed from her bonds and the following conversation with occur.
- Keeper Cirion: "Areldur! You live!"
- Keeper Areldur: "I do, though I've seen better days. The High Kinlord's power has grown. He would not have been able to escape our predecessors as he has escaped us today. We need to go after him."
- Keeper Cirion: "Stay down, Keeper, you're injured. If the others yet live, we should find them—then deal with Rilis, if we can. He has already escaped. I will not suffer further dishonor by losing lives to him."
- Keeper Areldur: "You're ever the optimist. An Altmer should not fear the end, Cirion. I would give the lives of all four of us to stop Rilis. The High Kinlord will rend Tamriel apart if he gets to the surface. And it will be our fault."
- Keeper Cirion: "There is a difference between fearing death and throwing your life away, Areldur. As long as I lead the Keepers, you will do neither. If the others live, we'll find them."
You can speak with her at this point, in which case she expresses her concern at the present situation.
- "The High Kinlord's power has grown terrifying.
I don't know that we can stop him, though we must. Tamriel is in grave danger if Rilis reaches the surface. Even if we catch him, we'll need to devise a stronger prison than the last one …."
Once the Daedra imprisoning Keeper Voranil has been killed, Areldur will run up to him and check his injuries.
- Keeper Cirion: "It's Voranil! Areldur, see to him."
- Keeper Areldur: "By the Empyrean Light! Let's hope he lives."
- Keeper Cirion: "Has he been slain?"
- Keeper Areldur: "He's not the model of well-being, but he lives. Are you satisfied, Cirion? I'm eager to pursue the High Kinlord."
- Keeper Cirion: "Patience, Areldur. I need you to heal him. And Imiril is still unaccounted for. We'll need her to face Rilis."
If you speak with her before heading deeper into the dungeon, she says:
- "Voranil lives. For now.
We are thankful for your help, stranger, but if I were you I would have fled long ago. The Keepers and I, we must stop Rilis—at any cost."
Once Keeper Imiril is freed:
- Keeper Areldur: "Over there, Voranil! We've found her."
- Keeper Voranil: "I see her. Let's hope she lives. We'll need her before the day is done."
- Keeper Areldur: "She's going to be fine, with a little restoration magic. We should be considering how to handle the High Kinlord."
- Keeper Voranil: "Even if we defeat him, how do we contain him? He's already escaped once."
- "If we could control Daedric magic perhaps this wouldn't have happened. What do you think, Cirion? Fight fire with fire?"
- Keeper Cirion: "Stay your tongue, Voranil. You insult your lineage by even thinking it. Does the High Kindlord's fate appeal to you so?
We will go with my plan and divide his essence among us. He can't escape his prison if he's not whole."
Speaking with her before you talk to Cirion prompts her to say:
- "Sorry, need to focus. Imiril's going to be fine, but she'll need a healthy dose of restoration magic to get back on her feet.
If you must speak, speak with Cirion."
If you speak with her after you have talked to Cirion, she simply reiterates her previous statement:
- "Imiril will live, but I need you to give me space."
After High Kinlord Rilis' body has been destroyed, his spirit will project itself from his crystal to taunt the keepers.
- High Kinlord Rilis: "You think you've beaten me? How amusing. Haven't you noticed that the pact I've made protects me from death?"
- Keeper Cirion: "Ignore his words, Keepers. Begin the preparations."
- Keeper Voranil: "I'm not confident this will work, Cirion!"
- High Kinlord Rilis: "Ha ha ha! What are you lot doing? Oh, I do so love to see magic. Is that what this is? This isn't as grand as the spells I learn from the Daedra, but I don't expect much from mortal Altmer. Remember, children—you'll never keep me here of your own accord. Not when the Daedra fight for me. Perhaps you'd fare better if you had Daedra on your side! Ha ha ha!"
- Keeper Cirion: "His madness nears delirium. Ignore him, Keepers. Bind the High Kinlord!"
- <The Keepers started the ritual, channeling Rilis' powers away from him. The High Kinlord is engulfed in a beam of golden light, he flails about but still mocks them.>
- Keepers Imiril, Voranil, and Areldur: "By the Light Empyrean, the Keepers of the Banished Cells hereby condemn Rilis XII to imprisonment unending."
- High Kinlord Rilis: "Oh, my. It looks like you've won. Old Rilis' days of freedom are over, it seems."
- <Rilis' spirit disappears.>
- Keeper Imiril: "I thought you said this bastard wouldn't be able to speak."
- Keeper Cirion: "He shouldn't be able to achieve coherent thought. We'll have to watch him carefully."
You can speak with her after she and the other Keepers have finished binding Rilis:
- "The binding stones will not hold. I don't know what Cirion's thinking.
We should be finding a way to remove Rilis from Nirn. The High Kinlord has had a taste of freedom after all these years—he'll stop at nothing to achieve it again."
Even though she does not leave after the completion of the quest, it is no longer possible to speak with her at that point.
The Plan[edit]
Engaging her in combat:
- Keeper Areldur: "Turn back! The Keepers guard this tomb."
When you inspect Cirion's body after the High Kinlord's defeat, the spirits of the other keepers will appear.
- Keeper Imiril: "On your feet, Keeper."
- Keeper Cirion: "Imiril? My fellow Keepers? You are free? Did I succeed?"
- Keeper Voranil: "Thanks to you, the Keeper's Oath is fulfilled."
- Keeper Areldur: "We are free from Daedric corruption. We should have heeded your warnings."
- Keeper Cirion: "I remember …."
- Keeper Cirion: "Where is Rilis?"
- Keeper Areldur: "Banished from this realm. With hope, all the way to Oblivion."
- Keeper Voranil: "Your sacrifice ensures he will never return."
- Keeper Cirion: "What happens now?"
- Keeper Imiril: "We can lay our burdens down. Say your goodbys to those who aided us. You'll be leaving them, soon."
- <The others keepers walk into a portal of light, and Keeper Cirion remains.>
- Keeper Cirion: "Thank you, my friends. For everything."
