Quest-Related Events

You will find her in the Artifact Vault, clinging to existence only with the power of the relic she's holding on to. Upon getting close, she screams at you to get away, and summons a Guardian Atronach to protect herself, while barring the doors leading to the room:

Sapiarch Nolyemal: "Stay... stay back!"

Darien Gautier: "Really? A walking volcano?"

Defeat the atronach and approach her. She appears to be fading.

Sapiarch Nolyemal: "I don't know how you entered the tower... but you must get out of here."

Darien Gautier: "She's still alive! We have to help her."

Sapiarch Nolyemal: "No, stay back! The relic that protects me, it's failing. You can't help me."

Earl Leythen: "She's right. Look how she's starting to fade."

Speak with her.

"Please... before I am lost... tell me. What happened? I deserve to know why the tower has done this."

Nocturnal has taken control of the Crystal Tower. How do we ascend the tower from here?

"Nocturnal? So I am to die as a pawn in some game played by a Daedric Prince?
I'm sorry, but you've reached a dead end. The explosions. The exit is blocked by debris. There's no way to move it. You should turn back and flee."

Please we have to keep going up if we're going to stop Nocturnal.

"The old ballista … if you could get it working again, it might be strong enough to punch through the debris.
Oh gods … the relic! I'm … I'm not ready to die."

I'm sorry.

What happened in here?

"I was just doing my studies. Like any other day. Then—then the tower began to shake suddenly. I heard screams. Such horrible screams.
I watched my friends just … cease to exist. And in their places, these monstrosities stood."

How did you survive?

"I … I don't know. I grabbed this staff in hopes of balancing myself from the swaying of the tower. There was a flash of light and I … I was alone.
But I'm so scared. The staff's magic is fading. Oh gods, I'm going to end up like them.

If we want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else, I need to know how to get out of here.

"The old ballista … if you could get it working again, it might be strong enough to punch through the debris.
Oh gods … the relic! I'm … I'm not ready to die."

I'm sorry.

She begins to panic once you finish your conversation.

Sapiarch Nolyemal: "I don't want to die!"

Earl Leythen: "Let me help you. Clear your mind."

Sapiarch Nolyemal: "It's so hard … to concentrate …."

Earl Leythen: "Think of your loved ones. Picture their faces and my magic will help you."

Sapiarch Nolyemal: "I see them. The pain … is fading. I can see—"

She then discorporates.

Darien and Leythen then comment on what just happened.

Darien Gautier: "She … she's gone."

Earl Leythen: "Her last moments were peaceful. I saw to that."

Earl Leythen: "The magic that held back the shadows is gone. They'll be upon us before we know it."
