House Telvanni is one of the three Dunmer Great Houses on Vvardenfell. Their nobles are thousand-year-old wizards. Telvanni are supposed to hate politics, foreigners, and just about everything else, but the Vvardenfell Telvanni are apparently more ambitious and adventurous than most. I don't know much about them, but they do hire Western mercenaries, and some even rise to higher ranks. Talk to Telvanni councilors if you want to be become a Telvanni retainer.

The khans of the Great Houses are called 'councilors.' The khans of House Telvanni meet in a very strange place, I'm told. They call it 'Sadrith Mora,' which means 'forest of the mushrooms' in our tongue. I have heard the Telvanni live in giant mushrooms. I'm sure it is a very bad place. But you must go and find their councilors and persuade them to name you Hortator.

Thanks to you, things will be much more peaceful for the Mages Guild here on Vvardenfell. Perhaps there's hope for the Empire after all.

Ah, so all the Telvanni Councilors are dead? That is good news indeed, %PCRank. I've feared for my life working here on this island with all those Telvanni around. Now that they're gone, I don't need this amulet or this staff. They're yours now, %PCRank.

It's not a difficult task for a %PCRank. Just find all the Telvanni Councilors: Master Aryon, Mistress Dratha, Master Gothren, Master Neloth, and Mistress Therana. Then kill them all. Simple, really.

Yes, House Telvanni simply does not get along well with the Mages Guild. I do not think that we can resolve this conflict peacefully. Therefore, I request that you kill the Councilors of House Telvanni: Master Aryon, Mistress Dratha, Master Gothren, Master Neloth, and Mistress Therana.

You belong to House Telvanni, do you not? Where do your true loyalties lie? House Telvanni opposes our every effort at modernizing the way magic is practiced here in Vvardenfell.

They are the enemy, %PCRank. They oppose everything the Mages Guild stands for.

It's a funny sort of house, with all those glowing blue crystals all over it. Did I ever tell you about when I was a little girl? I always liked going to the house. That's where everyone keeps their toys. Are you listening to me? You'd better be. Yes, that's better. No need to do that. I'd offer you something, but I'm all out of kwama eggs.

House Telvanni is one of the three Dunmer Great Houses with holdings on Vvardenfell. The Telvanni wizard-lords have traditionally isolated themselves, pursuing wisdom and mastery in solitude. But certain ambitious wizards-lords, their retainers, and clients have entered whole-heartily into the competition to control and exploit Vvardenfell's land and resources, building towers and bases all along the eastern coast. The Telvanni think that wisdom confers power, and power confers right.

I am Master Aryon. I have heard of you, %PCName. Might you want to join House Telvanni? No one here will stop you from looking into any line of inquiry, nor do we force you to share your secrets like those in the Mages Guild.

I am Mistress %Name, one of the Councilors of House Telvanni. If you want to learn about House Telvanni, speak with my Mouth in the Telvanni Council House in Sadrith Mora.

We don't care about politics. We don't care what other think. We just want to be left alone. And our wizard-lords and their mercenaries make sure no one bothers us.

We live comfortably. Our wizard-lords keep us secure, and otherwise leave us alone. All we want is to be left in peace to do as we wish.

Trebonius asked you to kill the Telvanni Council? I wouldn't even try to do that if I were you. Even if you were successful, there's no telling how the Telvanni would respond.

The Telvanni do not assist us in any way, but they generally do not impede our efforts unless we are coordinating an excavation with the Mages Guild.

House Telvanni is a house of wizards and bugherds whose chief business is minding their own business. In a way, we get along quite well.

This warrior has fought the witch-kings of High Rock and seen dragons fall to them. The wizard-lords of House Telvanni have no kingdoms: only their towers, their magic, and their mercenaries, but our information says their sorcery is unparalleled. They do not seem to know mortality. Some of their mercenaries are of House Redoran, others of the earth, others still not of this world. We have not clashed with them yet. They keep to their towers. But there will be losses when we do.

Surprised to see one of my House in this part of Morrowind? Believe me, I'd be happily at home in Port Telvannis were it not for my urgent errand to Mirba. My foolish cousin Ondres died there, and I have recently learned that he died bearing secrets I need. I came into an inheritance of sorts from my aunt, but her tomes are closed to me without Ondres' knowledge. He will help me, willingly or not. In death, he will be of more use to me than he ever was in life.

The trick to trading with House Telvanni is to ignore whichever insane wizard is sitting in the big tower and finding out who actually runs the day-to-day business of their lands. That's someone who might be happy to line their own pockets with the Empire's gold. Or they might also be an insane wizard. The Telvanni are nothing if not unpredictable.

I don't have any dealings with them. It is my duty to enforce Imperial law.

Don't join them and don't trust them! Follow the path of the Temple.

They don't care about the Temple, traditions, or the poor and weak. They are only interested in themselves and their profane studies.

They're powerful, and they're clever. And they don't want us here. You'd wonder how long we'd be able to keep them out, if it all came unstuck back in Cyrodiil, and they banded together and decided they'd make Firewatch a crater. Not too long, I figure. But they're not too united -- if we keep enough strong warriors on standby, and we don't make trouble for them, we'll live. That's what matters.

House Telvanni invites Menervius Venius to a meeting.

[The Storm Atronach gives you a soulgem.] %PCName. Atronach.

House Telvanni invites Menervius Venius to a meeting. Ka-kraka.

[The Storm Atronach nods cordially. It shakes your hand.] Aht. Rasanuk!

[It's clear that the Storm Atronach meant Menervius Venius. It tries its hardest to say 'Menervius Venius', but doesn't quite know how.] Meenervushzaal... Meenerzhaal... Mezhaalvezhaal...

[The Storm Atronach seems to think you got it right.] Aht! Zyhak, zyhak!

[First there's a rumbling sound and then a sharp crackle. The Storm Atronach is visibly frustrated and irritated.]

[You know that 'Rasanuk' means 'a meeting'.]

[The Storm Atronach gestures at the chair and the table next to it.]

[The Storm Atronach means Menervius Venius.]

[The Storm Atronach points at Menervius Venius.]

Do you know what happened the last time I had a meeting with those wizards? They immediately teleported the entire meeting into a pocket dimension filled with hostile Daedra. If I were a less competent mage, I might not be standing here right now. Their hospitality leaves something to be desired.

[You've already learned that 'Zyhak' means 'to invite'.]

[The Storm Atronach gestures with both of its hands as if it was urging you to come closer.]

Zyg-Telvaic zyhak Mezhaalvezhaal rasanuk.

Great House Telvanni doesn't always agree with us. I think Tel Muthada is an exception because I can negotiate with Llevari Telsaran pretty well.

House Telvanni will be the winner of the greatest strife; Simund must sing that else he loses his life...

I think I fit in the House: my greatest inspiration is Rathra. I only wish I could be as wise and convincing as she.

I am one of the mightiest patrons of House Telvanni, and soon I will be the next councilor.

Great House Telvanni is mighty here, just look at this town. They are actually pretty kind to us; we're allowed to use the lower tower.

We are not far from Port Telvannis, the center of Telvanni power. My husband is the highest ranking Telvanni here.

We Telvanni are the greatest of sorcerers, and we have the independence of mind to pursue our aims unfettered by the rules of the Empire.

I know that you are a member of it, %PCName. I spent decades dealing with your House's plots, ambitions, and eccentricities. If you would be so kind, I'd rather not deal with any more.

I spent decades dealing with their plots, ambitions, and eccentricities. Besides the empire, there is no other force more directly opposed to the ideals of House Indoril. Thankfully, while their mage lords are powerful individually, they have never been good at working together. I pity anyone who is able to provoke their unified wrath.

Your kind has long been a bothersome nuisance to this town. We of House Indoril will overcome your trickery!

They are a bothersome nuisance. As the lord of Akamora, it is my duty to protect my subjects from their trickery.

BEGIN TR MAP 3 DENAVEN MANOR

They are hostile to all that House Indoril stands for, and have become more and more aggressive in recent years.

The Telvanni have long strayed from the teachings of the Tribunal, living blasphemous and unholy lives. However, I am confident the day will come when they will learn the error of their ways. Until then it is best that we leave them be.

I do not approve of their actions. However, they have never bothered me personally.

[The Storm Atronach nods cordially. It shakes your hand.] Aht. Rasanuk!

The Telvanni at Tel Gilan are less hostile than most, but we try to avoid contact out of an abundance of caution. The Guild and its interests are simply incompatible with the wizard-lords' power-mad ideology.

The Telvanni don't usually like to do business with outlanders, but the Dark Elves at Tel Gilan are more business-minded than most.

They haven't bothered us. I imagine they don't much care about a place like this.

We're all loyal subjects of House Telvanni.

This is Telvanni country. Tel Rivus rules the surrounding lands by Telvanni custom.

Bahrammu is subject to Nira Uldram, the Telvanni magelord of Tel Rivus. We pay her tribute, and in return she sends her guards to patrol Bahrammu.

The Telvanni used to leave Althoa alone, but they've recently moved into Andvaryon. Only a matter of time before they start poking and prodding at Nivalis, no doubt.

House Telvanni's greatest strength is that their leaders are all mages of considerable arcane power. But that is also their greatest weakness, as mighty wizards are always reluctant to bow to any authority. They do not get along, and barely pay more respect to their Archmagister than they do to the Empire. The most powerful Telvanni magelords often end up doing what they want, ignoring the rest of the world and their brethren. You have a lot of work ahead of you, Archmagister.

The most powerful Telvanni magelords often end up doing what they want, ignoring the rest of the world and their brethren.

We are the strongest of all the Dunmer. After all, knowledge is power, right outlander?

The Telvanni post a couple of guards here, but apart from that, the Council mostly ignores our town. Of course they collect taxes from here too.

The Telvanni are subjects of the Emperor, as are we all. Their... unconventional style of internal governance does not have any bearing on this first, most fundamental allegiance.

I will not bandy words with you, Telvanni.

Liars, traitors, and murderers who celebrate the art of lies, betrayal, and murder. Their poisonous, power-mad ideology keeps the Telvanni internally divided, but they are as dangerous to civilized people as they are to each other. Long ago, in another life, I learned much of their ways, and I do my part to make sure they never stop warring among themselves long enough to pose a threat to the Duchess' rule.

We are the proudest and most powerful of Morrowind's Great Houses. Our magelords live for centuries and care little for the bickering of the other Great Houses, much less the pretensions of petty, short-lived human empires. We take what we can from those who cannot defend it. One day, when it suits us, we will take this fortress and raze it to the ground. For now, though, it suits Great House Telvanni to send me to keep an eye on this young "Duchess".

The most capable Telvanni are clever adversaries, but they revel in a self-destructive culture of egoism, power, and intrigue that forever divides their "Great House" from within and keeps their eyes pointed over their shoulders. Still, some Telvanni are quite formidable. Do not cross them lightly, %PCName.

The Telvanni are the hostile, xenophobic wizard-lords of Morrowind's northeast. They have only contempt for Imperial law, and some particularly bold members of their House have attacked Firewatch itself in the past. They're playing civil right now; they've even sent an envoy to Ember Keep.

An opportunistic mob of power-mad liars and faithless backstabbers. They hate the %Faction and everything we stand for, so we must be more vigilant than most guildhalls to keep our members safe and our interests secure.

Wizard elves who run things from their fiefdoms out in the rest of Telvannis District. Most people in Firewatch hate them, but between you and me, I see opportunities for the Guild in Telvanni cities. Squishy wizards can always use hired swords.

They sometimes contract our services, but usually they keep their larceny in-house.

The Telvanni have no respect for education as we know it in the West. To the Telvanni, knowledge is power... and power is best hoarded.

Criminals, the lot of them. There isn't a single Telvanni in Morrowind who cooperates with the Company's legal monopolies. Since the mage-lords are the only law in their petty fiefdoms, we have no recourse when they openly flout our regulations and the decrees of the Elder Council.

I am proud to be in its service. We alone have the strength of will to forge our own path, free from the restrictions placed upon us by the Empire.

We Telvanni just want to be left to our experiments.

We are the greatest of sorcerers. We were conjuring daedric servants while the Imperials were still trying to eat rocks.

Unlike the 'pious' Redorans and Indoril, or the foolish Hlaalu, we in Great House Telvanni are unfettered by religion or politics. Those who wish to join House Telvanni must go through me first, and I employ rigorous standards. Of course, with all the irritating peasants I am constantly forced to deal with, any enjoyment I receive from putting budding wizards on the road to greatness is paid back threefold by the sheer ignorance I have to put up with for the rest of my time. Now, you have a question?

I am Mistress %Name, one of the Councilors of House Telvanni. If you want to learn about House Telvanni, speak with my Mouth in the Telvanni Council House in Port Telvannis.

There are rumors that this fort has some contact with the Telvanni. Don't tell anyone that I said that, though.

The people of Verulas Pass belong to House Telvanni, but no Telvanni master can be bothered to rule the little village.

We members of House Telvanni like to do what we want. We don't want to follow some of the ridiculous laws laid down by the Empire or the other Houses. We like to be left alone in our towers. We study there to increase our knowledge, abilities, and power.

As long as our lord protects us from external threats, we don't have any complaints about the Telvanni. I don't believe those tales about evil wizards either.

Some people say they are evil, egocentric wizards living in mushrooms.

Yes, Bahrammu is under the auspices of great house Telvanni. The mage-lords do not give much heed to what happens up here, which makes sense, because nothing happens here anyway.
