Thank you for bringing me the letter.

You have a letter from my brother? And he begs forgiveness? It's just... I'm not sure if he's the same man that he used to be. He rejected his kin, and now he's alienated himself from the holy Triune. None of our family would forgive him those sins, you understand. But at least he has honor with him, and his actions carry a motive. I can only wish him good luck. You have my gratitude for bringing the letter, %PCName. Take this gold for your trouble.

You have a letter from my brother? Where is it?

Habits are difficult to change, but I'm trying. I'm still skeptical, but I think this is a good direction for me so far. I'll need time to understand these Divines, though Maria's excitement makes me uncomfortable sometimes.

Well, thank you anyway, %PCRace. You gave my life a new meaning.

Thank you, %PCRace. Please have this letter delivered to Daroso Sethri. She is a retainer at the Redoran canton of Vivec.

I will try my best to adjust to these new gods and ideas. For now you should tell Antonius that I wish to serve the Imperial Cult.

What do you want?

What little have the Tribunal done for me or for us but exist, I wonder. If what we do is no longer enough, perhaps it's time to seek new answers for our problems. I renounce my faith in the Tribunal. For years we have followed Vivec's examples, and now we are here. I wish to convert to the Imperial Cult and follow your Divines.

My sister on Vvardenfell, Daroso Sethri, will need an explanation. Can you deliver a letter I'll write to her?

I'm not sure any god, or any people, are fit to rule and take Morrowind anymore. Perhaps we are not good enough for this land. I am unsure the Empire and the Divines could be any better. Say whatever you want to the priests at your chapel.

House Redoran is leaderless. Yes, we are led by Bolvyn Venim, but are led like blind guar to our slaughter at Red Mountain without a plan. To lead and be a leader are two different things, and Bolvyn is no leader. He makes the word 'Hortator' taste like ash on my tongue. I belonged to the Waters March, or what is left of it, and every day I began to feel less and less kinship with my clan there. What purpose do we serve? Little except to make sure Hlaalu profits. I may as well join them.

So, you've come to convert me. I don't see what a real god would want with someone who's broken their vows and betrayed their kin. But I will listen with respect to what you may have to say in spite of that.

That's certainly me, but I won't be speaking to you unless the guard commander wishes me to. I've said enough on my own.

He's dead.

Now that he's in your chapel's service, that's one less weight off my shoulders. Good work.

So you actually got him to renounce the Tribunal, and what a savage renouncement it was. I think I believe him. I had my doubts he'd actually do it. If Maria says to give him a second chance, I'll back her word to release Trelam. To kill this man would be a waste of Dunmer blood.

Trelam is not going to be down there all the time, so you'd better get started.

This is already sounding like it's going to land me into some hot water with Lord Hleryn. But if it's coming from Maria down at the chapel, then I trust that she knows what she's getting herself into. Fine. If you get the deserter to convert, it needs to be earnest. I don't want him thinking that demonstratively praising Dibella is going to make him a free man. He's in a prison cell downstairs. I hope you're successful, as he's an honorable man, but I can't go against orders if Lord Hleryn comes knocking.

You've been expelled from the %Faction, %PCName.

I suppose Redoran aren't safe at all here in Hlerynhul.

Trialen should be settling in rather well, even though he'll still feel uncomfortable in his new position.

The deserter, Trelam Sethri, is dead? Now we're too late to convert him to our cause. Speak with me when you're ready for another errand.

Thank Dibella, his life is saved, and thanks to you too, %PCRank. I knew you'd be able to convince him. Once he's out of jail, I'll put him to work here in the chapel as a guard. That should keep us all safe in case the worst comes to pass. Trelam might still carry that guilt -- it's not as if he can put it down -- but he can find new purpose with us and in Dibella to lessen that weight over time. Take this gold as your reward.

Now that the deserter converted, Antonius needs to know it was genuine. I should be able to convince Lord Hleryn to stay his hand if Antonius backs up my word.

You need the "Reflections on Cult Worship"? I have a copy here. Feel free to barter.

Bring the "Reflections on Cult Worship" to Trelam. I believe the thoughts described by its author will help the deserter change his mind.

Trelam refuses to be converted? This is understandable, as change of faith is a serious matter. What if a good book can change his mind? I believe "Reflections on Cult Worship" by Cuseius Plecia, which meditates on the differences in religious temperament between Imperial and Dunmer religions, might help in Trelam's cause. Speak with Birahn here at the chapel -- he's got one for sale.

It's good that Antonius will allow us to speak to him, but he's still a soldier who will follow orders. When Lord Hleryn demands the deserter's head, he will follow through.

Trelam Sethri is still in Tiger Hall's jail. Dibella would not forgive us for simply letting an honorable man die an ugly death.

The deserter's name is Trelam Sethri. He arrived a while ago but was arrested under Ivul Hleryn's orders on the mere suspicion he was sent by House Redoran to sabotage Lord Hleryn. He'll be killed if we don't intervene, but I have a plan. Tralem is currently being held in Tiger Hall's jail. Speak to Antonius Rato first to clear this with him, then figure out why this deserter left his Redoran kin and try to convince him of our faith. I'll handle Lord Hleryn.
