Caecalia Victrix

Caecalia Victrix is an Imperial knight and a Knight of the Imperial Dragon of the Imperial Legion. She can be found in the strategy room near the top floor of the Legion Headquarters, in the Ebon Tower of Old Ebonheart. She is the Lord General of the Legion in Morrowind, although before that she was the protege of the disgraced General Casik. She acts as a key witness in the events of Belated Justice.

Caecalia may appreciate honor in her superiors, but is not above carrying out underhanded schemes for the sake of maintaining strategic advantage. For example, she is secretly supporting a necromancer in his occupation of the Velothi tower of Haliwaran, in defiance of Dunmer sensibilities about necromancy in Morrowind. This has the effect of preventing the expansionist Indoril Ilvi from easily establishing a walled tower close to Old Ebonheart's walls, and she is far from overjoyed in the event that you ultimately kill her necromancer stooge. Caecalia will however agree to pay you for turning in the evidence of the Legion's involvement in this affair before the Indoril find it.

For protection, she wears an Imperial ebony cuirass with matching boots, bracers, and pauldrons. For clothing, she wears a common shirt, a pair of common pants, and an Imperial leather skirt. She wields the unique Lord General's sword and carries an Imperial dagger, an Exclusive Fortify Strength potion, and an Exclusive Fortify Luck potion.

Aside from her natural charm and ability to absorb fatigue from others, she knows the following spells: Masterful Stolid Armor, Masterful Deep Biting, Masterful Denial, Masterful Hewing, and Vivec's Mercy.

On the next floor up, she has a bedroom behind a locked door (75). On the small chest of drawers near the door, there is an Imperial ebony helm and there is also a Silver Flameskewer in the spear holder next to the drawers. Leaning against the bookshelf is an Imperial ebony shield with a pair of Imperial Templar boots behind it. Also on the bookshelf is a silver saber, 3 bottles of Cyrodiilic brandy, and 2 bottles of Colovian Battlewine. There is another bottle each of Cyrodiilic brandy and Colovian Battlewine on the desk. Most notably, there is a stone safe behind the small Legion banner hanging on the diagonal wall opposite the bed. It can be unlocked by unlocking the right-hand painting Nafaalilargus at Hunding Bay (80), then activating the painting, which will move up the wall and show a button. Pressing the button will make the stone wall facade slide the the side and reveal a display case with the artifacts Scales of Nafaalilargus and Claw of Nafaalilargus hanging inside.

Imperial Legion: Proper Channels

• deal with Rojanna:

"What's that about Commandant Rojanna? Is everything well at Fort Ancylis?"

• [Give her the letter from Kathellomar.]:

"[Lord-General Victrix takes a couple minutes to read over Kathellomar's letter.] I see. Is what Kathellomar is saying true, %PCRank?"

• Yes, Rojanna should be removed from Fort Ancylis command.:

"If that's the case, then I can arrange for Rojanna to be relocated. She'll be promoted to a position in the Order of Mournhold. It's not exactly a prestigious posting, but she will be unable to damage our reputation in this region from there. Kathellomar will assume her powers and duties until a suitable replacement can be found. If that is all, you are dismissed. Report back to Kathellomar." (Removed Letter to Caecalia Victrix from your inventory, and Rojanna Jades is disabled)

• No, I cannot verify those claims.:

"I can't do anything on just Kathellomar's word. This may be a case of a disgruntled soldier attempting to further his own career. I'll see to it that Kathellomar receives the proper discipline. You are dismissed. Report back to Rojanna."

(If you don't have the letter):

"What letter? Don't waste my time, %PCRank." Goodbye

(If you have said you can't verify Kathellomar's claims and then talk about it again):

"I've read his letter. But without anyone else's testimony, I can't act. Can you verify what Kathellomar says in this letter, %PCName?" (See "Yes" and "No" choices above)

(If you don't have the letter):

"I don't think we can discuss this further unless you have that letter. What did you do with it?"

• Nevermind.:

"I'm a very busy woman. Don't waste my time, %PCRank." Goodbye (Disposition -10)

"I believe that matter is settled. You may go."

Belated Justice

• Greetings:

"Greetings, %PCRace. I've heard you're investigating General Casik's case. How may I assist you?"

"Hello again, %PCRace. Do you have further questions for me?"

"Well met, %PCRace. Was there something you needed?"

(If you are a member of the Imperial Legion):

"Greetings, %PCRank. I've heard you're investigating General Casik's case. How may I aid your efforts?"

"Hello again, %PCRank. Do you have further questions for me?"

"Well met, %PCRank. Was there something you needed?"

• Casik:

"I served under General Casik thirty years ago as the General's personal aide. He was a traitor, yes, but his plan did not come to fruition, and I do not wish to see him die. He was once a man of honor, and I honor the memory of the officer he once was. I gave my evidence against him, and because of my testimony, he has been incarcerated in the lower dungeons for the last three decades."

• What was the evidence?:

"He spoke to me personally. To join him in his treason, he tried to buy my honor with gold, but I refused to join in his machinations and reported him to the king."

• So what treachery did he propose?:

"We were to disguise ourselves and our men as Dunmer, lead a detachment of Imperial troops into Black Marsh, and attack a village on the other side of the border, instigating war between the Dark Elves and the Argonians. Not long afterwards, one of our agents reported that a squad of Black Marsh warriors had been lying in wait for a purported Dark Elf incursion. Had we attacked, we would have blundered unawares into an ambush. When I reported General Casik's plot and bribery attempt, he was imprisoned."

• If he really committed treachery, why wasn't he executed?:

"It was my word against his. We were both highly respected officers, but General Casik had an excellent reputation as being above reproach. He claimed we never had the conversation and couldn't explain why I would make such an outrageous charge, but I had a witness. Another officer was with me who saw me speaking with the general but didn't overhear what we were saying."

• Surely there was more evidence. What else do you know?:

"I've told you everything of consequence. Now, if there's nothing else...?" (See "other officer" and "further questions" choices)

(If Disposition ≥ 70):

"No, there's nothing further to add."

• Lord General, perhaps there is something you've overlooked, no matter how minor.:

"I hesitate to impugn the General's reputation further. Still, there is one other thing. Casik had acquired property in Nibenay in the Imperial Province, and I once briefly saw a land deed for holdings in the Nibenay Basin among his papers. I suspect that this was his reward for taking part in this scheme."

• And where is this land deed now?:

"I do not know. Perhaps his wife, Nerasa Veran, might know." (Also see "further questions" choice)

• Another question, if you please. Who was the other officer?:

"Rumus Stannicus. After Casik's imprisonment, Rumus left the Legion and became Nerasa Veran's protector. It is rare to see Nerasa without Rumus being somewhere nearby. An honorable choice, if somewhat unorthodox, and I respect his decision."

• I see. If I have further questions, I will return.:

"Fair enough. Had the General's plan succeeded, it could have meant the deaths of our men. He was a good man once, and honorable, and for his sake I did not press for the death penalty, but his actions were indefensible. Fortunately, his plan was never carried out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to."

• Who was the other officer?:

"Rumus Stannicus. After Casik's imprisonment, Stannicus left the Legion and became Nerasa Veran's protector. It is rare to see Nerasa without Rumus being somewhere nearby. I would never have acted as he did, but he was motivated by honor, and I respect his decision." (See "more evidence" and "further questions" choices)

• I see. If I have further questions, I will return.:

"Fair enough. Had the General's plan succeeded, it could have meant the deaths of our men. He was a good man once, and honorable, and for his sake I did not press for the death penalty, but his actions were indefensible. Fortunately, his plan was never carried out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to."

(If General Casik was found to be innocent):

"After all this time, General Casik was actually innocent of the accusations. If only we had compared our stories thirty years ago. I had thought to hide his indiscretions, but instead, I doomed a good man to decades of pain and torment."

(If General Casik was found to be guilty):

"When Casik was beheaded, his body reverted to that of a Daedra's, so the doppelganger must have replaced the General at some point. I wonder what happened to keep the Daedra trapped in the dungeons for so many years. I fear we will never know what happened to the real Casik."

(If you killed General Casik):

"So, you struck Casik down and found that he was actually a Daedra. Did you stop to consider that you might be killing an innocent man? You disgrace yourself. Get out of my presence before I have you thrown out." (Disposition -20)

(If you are a member of the Imperial Legion):

"So, you struck Casik down and found that he was actually a Daedra. Did you stop to consider that you might be killing an innocent man? You disgrace your uniform. Get out of my presence before I have you thrown out." (Disposition -20)

• man of honor:

"Yes, General Casik had always possessed a strong sense of honor and justice. It was with a heavy heart that I accused him of treason. His plan to instigate a border war between Morrowind and Black Marsh seemed completely out of character and irrational. So too were the rumors of his having a woman on the side."

• Nerasa Veran:

"Yes, General Casik's wife. She is the Minister of Temple Affairs."

"It is unfortunate what has happened to her, first with Casik, and then with her association with the Dissident Priests. She and I were never close. I believe she felt jealous of the time Casik spent with me, though his relationship with me was strictly that of a superior officer's."

• Rumus Stannicus:

"I believe he felt some guilt for his part in condemning Casik to a life sentence in prison. Not long after Casik's incarceration, Stannicus resigned his commission in the Legion and took up his current role as Nerasa's protector."

(If Disposition ≥ 40):

"Stannicus was a good officer. I respect his decision to leave the Legion, but I think it was a rather rash one. I certainly am under no compunctions of guilt for doing my duty."

• woman on the side:

"I don't trust you enough to speak further of this."

(If Disposition ≥ 50):

"Look, I like you, %PCRace, but... Very well. The rumors were true of the general. He had a mistress, an Argonian, if you can believe it. In fact, the entire night before he was arrested, he was with her. I never knew her name, and I believe she left the city not long after General Casik was arrested. I heard she returned to Black Marsh, but I am not certain. I suspect she played a part in his treasonous plot."

(If Disposition ≥ 50 and you have completed 'The Bad Actor'):

"Look, I like you, %PCRace, but... Very well. The rumors were true of the general. He had a mistress, an Argonian, if you can believe it. A bit like that bawdy play, eh? In fact, the entire night before he was arrested, he was with her. I never knew her name, and I believe she left the city not long after General Casik was arrested. I heard she returned to Black Marsh, but I am not certain. I suspect she played a part in his treasonous plot."

(If Disposition ≥ 50 and you are a member of the Imperial Legion):

"Well, just between you and me, %PCRank, the rumors were true of the general. He had a mistress, an Argonian, if you can believe it. In fact, the entire night before he was arrested, he was with her. I never knew her name, and I believe she left the city not long after General Casik was arrested. I heard she returned to Black Marsh, but I am not certain. I suspect she played a part in his treasonous plot."

Now, I'll have to ask you to hand over the letter to me."
