Quest-Related Events

Storming the Hall

He can first be encountered in Fallowstone Vault with a Hooded Figure. He has stolen Wuuthrad before escaping through a portal:

Hooded Figure: "Is that it, master, is that what we came here for?"

Stral Blackthroat: "Yes, Wuuthrad is now ours. If the others have done their part, the Nords are doomed!"

Hooded Figure: "The portal awaits, master."

Scouting the Mine

A projection of Stral

You will see a projection of him and Thallik Wormfather talking to Heiress Alona when you go inside Alona's Sanctum:

Thallik Wormfather: "You have done well, Mystic. Continue to follow my plan."

Stral Blackthroat: "Send more bodies as you finish with them. We need all you can supply."

Thallik Wormfather: "The Pact draws closer; remain strong. If we succeed, all these lands will belong to the Reach!"

Dangerous Union

If you chose to fill the Ornate Globe, you can speak to a vision of him. He will reveal that the Worm Cult will be transforming his Reachmen with the power of Molag Bal in the ruins:

"Thallik is pleased with my Reachmen for unleashing the giant, Sinmur. He has asked that you guard Vernim Wood while his priests perform rituals upon us."

What will the rituals do?

"Channel the touch of the Lord of Brutality into us. All across the wood, my Reachmen are being transformed. I will undergo the ceremony within the central ruin."

Through the Shroud

You will need to kill him during the quest. He is accompanied by two skeletons. He'll start the fight by killing Lieutenant Belron.

Lieutenant Belron: "What? No. No! I can't control my body!"

Stral Blackthroat: "Behold the power of the Worm!"

Dajaheel: "He killed Lieutenant Belron. He'll pay with his blood!"

Then, he'll kill Dajaheel.

Dajaheel: "He has me. Don't mourn my fate. End him!"

Stral Blackthroat: "These Worm Cult gifts shall restore the Reach!"

Stral Blackthroat: "Die!"

He then summons a Bone Colossus. When you defeat him, he bursts into blue flames and disappears.

Stral Blackthroat: "Thallik … I failed."
