Suit yourself.

Anything else?

You would support Padus? I thank you for him, %PCName. Yes, I'm most delighted to agree.

I still doubt that. But since you've found Llevana as our ancestor, I suppose she can act as a voice of reason for the tribe. Fine, Massur-Dan has my approval.

I suppose you're right. I considered only my tribe's physical needs but neglected their feelings. Maybe it is time for me to step down.

Massur-Dan will only doom our tribe with his violence. I cannot agree to your decision, outlander.

They do? There might still be hope, then. Alright, I will become ashkhan if you can convince everyone of it, though it will not be easy.

It's much easier said than done. No, I don't think so.

You would support, me? I -- I thank you, outlander, but I do not think this will work. As much as I wish to serve my tribe, the tribe is already dissatisfied with me, and yearns for a change in leadership. At this point, it is no longer about my methods or my opinions, but about me. My tribe doesn't trust me. Support someone else, %PCName. Padus is my choice, but even Massur-Dan will be better than me.

Thank you for supporting Padus. He will make an excellent ashkhan.

I hope that leadership will teach Massur-Dan some temperance.

I won't let you regret your decision, %PCName.

If I could be the ashkhan, I would. I still believe that I am leading the tribe in the right direction, but since the tribe is losing faith in me, I'd rather Padus become the ashkhan.

She has agreed? Have I done something wrong and lost her favor? I've thought so much about what I'll do once I become ashkhan... Padus, then. Send him my congratulations.

Then she is misled, by you, outlander. I will not be tricked as easily.

And who are you to say that? Are you an Ashlander? Have you even lived with our tribe?

Padus?! You do realize, outlander, that I am the most capable leader, and the preference of the most. I suggest you reconsider.

You would support me as the ashkhan, outlander? My honor.

Save your breath, outlander. I will never agree. You insult me with that very suggestion.

Padus will do, for now.

You made a wise choice, %PCName.

Our tribe needs a leader, and it is my duty to step in when I am needed. Asha-tara has already lost everyone's support, and Padus is but a pawn of Asha-tara. The tribe doesn't need a pawn.

You would support me as the ashkhan? Thank you, %PCName. I suppose this is my responsibility to take.

That is not enough to convince me, but you've found Yanirab as our ancestor, and I have faith my old ashkhan will be a firm guide. I will agree.

I still doubt that, but you must have your reasons. I will trust your judgement.

You would support Massur-Dan, that war machine? I thought you value wit and tactics more, seems like I'm wrong. No, I cannot agree.

You would support Asha-tara? Thank you, %PCName, thank you, for her and for me. You will not regret your choice.

Asha-tara is the ashkhan, as it should be.

Massur-Dan is the ashkhan, and life goes on.

Thank you again for trusting me as ashkhan, %PCName.

To be honest, I do not wish to become ashkhan. My interest lies in the wilderness. But if it is between me and Massur-Dan, I'd rather it be me. Massur-Dan's violence will only doom our tribe. It would actually be the best if Asha-tara could become ashkhan. I've... admired her since the first time we met, and I trust her judgements. Though this seems unlikely now.

Padus Addinibi is now our ashkhan, thanks to your help, %PCName.

Massur-Dan is now our ashkhan, thanks to your help, %PCName.

Asha-tara Undunbael is now our ashkhan, thanks to your help, %PCName.

I also name you Obainat Nerevarine, Champion of the Obainat, and Protector of the People. I give you the Sash of the Obainat. Let it be a sign to all Dunmer, that you are the Nerevarine, and that the Obainat shall follow you, in all things, even to death. May the Sash aid you well in your journey.

Massur-Dan sealed Asha-tara's claim with his blood. Nobody will dispute that she should be the ashkhan, now. Very well, Asha-tara Undunbael will become the first ashkhan of the Obainat from this day on, and the Obainat is finally established. You have our deepest thanks, %PCName.

I see you have convinced everyone on making Padus the new ashkhan. Very well, Padus Addinibi will become the first ashkhan of the Obainat from this day on, and the Obainat is finally established. You have our deepest thanks, %PCName.

I see you have convinced everyone on making Massur-Dan the new ashkhan. Very well, Massur-Dan will become the first ashkhan of the Obainat from this day on, and the Obainat is finally established. You have our deepest thanks, %PCName.

Everyone else agreed to Asha-tara being the ashkhan, except Massur-Dan, Ulibabi, and Hibdun? I feared it would come to this. Go now. I will need some time to consider how we will untangle this knot.

We are indeed requesting a lot from you, outlander. Take your time.

Then Massur-Dan will become ashkhan of the Obainat. I will need to announce this to the whole tribe later, but since you failed to convince them otherwise, I'm sure there won't be much objection. Massur-Dan will become the first ashkhan of the Obainat from this day on, and the Obainat is finally established. You have our deepest thanks, %PCName.

I have agreed to Padus being the new ashkhan, but have you convinced everyone?

I have agreed to Massur-Dan being the new ashkhan, but have you convinced everyone?

I have agreed to Asha-tara being the new ashkhan, but have you convinced everyone?

Hmm, fair enough. You did well seeking out our ancestors, perhaps they are guiding you now. You have my support on choosing Padus as the ashkhan.

Hmm, fair enough. I suppose you have convinced me. You have my support on choosing Padus as the ashkhan.

I'm afraid this is not enough to convince me. Massur-Dan has already proven his skills as a warrior leader, which is what our tribe needs at this moment. As the wise woman, I cannot gamble on the "great promise" Padus shows.

You displayed wisdom when you came to me with Massur-Dan's plan to kill Mandaras Savrethi, and I trust that it is the same wisdom which guides you now. I will support Padus.

You displayed wisdom when you came to me with Massur-Dan's plan to kill Mandaras Savrethi, and I trust that it is the same wisdom which guides you now. I will support Massur-Dan, and together we can guide him on a more temperate path.

You displayed wisdom when you came to me with Massur-Dan's plan to kill Mandaras Savrethi, and I trust that it is the same wisdom which guides you now. I will support Asha-Tara.

I agree that Padus possesses many admirable qualities, but I cannot fathom why you would support him as ashkhan when Massur-Dan is clearly a better choice.

I agree Massur-Dan is the best choice for ashkhan. You have my support.

I hate to admit it, but Asha-tara reminds me so much of the gulakhan of my lost tribe, the Ishanuran. I didn't tell you much about my time there, and I still do not wish to. If my memory of the Ishanuran was fonder, or if I could return there and tie up the loose ends, maybe... but I'm an exile now. No more can be done.

An ashkhan needs ancestors to counsel and guide him, to offer him suggestions when his's eyes are veiled, and to support him when his wise words go unheeded by the tribe. Alas, you have not found us enough ancestors, not enough to assure me that I can put the tribe into someone like Asha-tara's hands. I will never agree.

I cannot understand at all why you would want Asha-tara to become the ashkhan. She has already proven her incapability, and the camp is eager for a change in leadership.

Talk to me again when you are ready to make your decision.

To choose one as ashkhan, you must convince the whole tribe to agree with you. Massur-Dan will probably be the easiest to convince of, while Asha-tara is definitely the hardest. If you fail to help us reach a unanimous agreement, I'm afraid we can only go by the vote of majority, and Massur-Dan will probably become ashkhan that way.

Asha-tara founded the Obainat camp and lead us through the hardest of the times, but is now gradually losing our trust for her cautious approach toward the Hlaalu. Massur-Dan, being an outspoken anti-Hlaalu, is now the favorite of most. Padus is always well-liked for his knowledge and manner, though some doubt his ability as a leader.

I can see why you make this choice, though I'm not particularly in favor of it. You must talk to everyone in the camp and convince them of your choice. I await your good news here.

A wise choice that most of us will certainly approve of. You must still talk to everyone in the camp and make sure that they all agree. I await your good news here.

A peculiar choice, and a one that I do not approve of. If you really wish Asha-tara to become the ashkhan, you must talk to everyone in the camp and convince them of your choice. I await your good news here.

Have you made up your mind? Who do you think will make the best ashkhan of the Obainat?

With ancestors found, it is now time to choose an ashkhan. I've told you about the three candidates -- Massur-Dan, Padus Addinibi, and Asha-tara Undunbael. I suppose you have already talked to the others and the spirits on this matter and formed an opinion of your own. You must choose one to support, and you cannot change your decision after you make it. Who do you think will make the best ashkhan of the Obainat?

You must choose one among the three candidates and convince the whole tribe to support them. But first, you must find us ancestors. An ashkhan is no ashkhan if there is no ancestor to vet them. We will discuss this matter further after you do that.

It is no secret that there are two primary contenders. The outspoken Massur-Dan is the favorite of many, though some find his aggressive ways a bit too extreme. Padus Addinibi is our scout. He has no experience as a leader but is liked for his extensive knowledge and temperate manners. Asha-tara is now ill-regarded, but no one can deny her contributions toward founding the camp, and a few believe that her cautious approach toward the Hlaalu is the wise move.

We need an ashkhan to be a proper tribe. Our current leader, Asha-tara Undunbael, lead us through the hardships when forming the tribe, but is now gradually losing the majority's favor. Also, I fear that she, being a woman, is not a good fit for the role of an ashkhan. You must help us find the true ashkhan of the Obainat, and persuade everyone that your choice is correct.

I have no love for the Hlaalu, but I know them too well from my past dealings with them. Open war will only boost their morale and make things even harder for the Ashlanders. Deceive them, corrupt them from the inside, and the Obainat shall survive.

The Obainat needs an ashkhan that would lead them in battles against the Hlaalu. If they continue to compromise, their little camp will fall in no time like the many others before them.

The Hlaalu will be the greatest threat to the Obainat. I thought too well of them, opening my tribe for them to exploit. The new ashkhan must recognize this danger but must also be subtle in these matters. No Ashlander tribe can afford open wars with the Hlaalu now.

An ashkhan must know the needs of his tribe. We Ashlanders are not strengthened through wars, but through herding, hunting, and trading.

You have news of Musa? She's with the new Obainat now? How's she doing? Sorry, I just miss her too much. She was exiled from the camp due to conflicts with our former gulakhan Zakum, I didn't know she took this so hard. Zakum died due to illness a few years ago. He has already forgiven Musa, and regretted exiling her so rashly. Let me find something... Here, this was Zakum's bow. Give it to Musa and tell her what I said, and she shall understand. And tell her not to worry about me.

I hope the Obainat swiftly resolve their problem.

Only a few around still know Musa. She was exiled from our camp years ago. You might want to talk to Asani in the ashkhan's yurt. They used to be close friends.

Even Massur-Dan...? Fine, I guess I have nothing more to say. So be it.

I'll make myself very clear: I'll only support Massur-Dan as ashkhan, and there's no way to convince me otherwise. Period.

Are you out of your mind? Asha-tara, that Hlaalu lover, seriously? You know what, I'll agree if you manage to convince Massur-Dan, though I doubt you ever will.

Massur-Dan is the best choice for ashkhan, trust me, outlander. We cannot bow to the Hlaalu any longer. We need someone like Massur-Dan who will lead us in battles, to show these Hlaalu bastards that we are not to be treated lightly.

Seems like you know what you're doing. Alright, I'll agree.

Seems like you know what you're doing. Alright, I'll agree.

You want me to believe you just like that? Nope, sorry.

Padus? I have nothing personal against him, but as far as I know he's not the most popular choice among the tribe, can you persuade everyone to support him? I'd suggest you save yourself all this trouble and choose Massur-Dan.

Asha-tara? I admit, she has a subtle way of dealing with the Hlaalu, and might be a good ashkhan, but I cannot imagine Massur-Dan ever agreeing to that. If you cannot convince everyone, I suggest you save yourself the trouble and just go with Massur-Dan.

Honestly? I don't care who becomes ashkhan, I just hope to get this over with as quickly as possible. I don't see how things can get any worse with how they already are. I'll support Massur-Dan, since he's the most popular choice among the tribe.

You, you know about that? Are you speaking from experience or... If what you said is true, maybe I shouldn't support Massur-Dan as ashkhan? I -- I guess I'll support Padus, then.

No, someone as heroic as Massur-Dan should become the ashkhan of our tribe. I will not agree to anyone else.

No, someone as heroic as Massur-Dan should become the ashkhan of our tribe. I will not agree to anyone else.

You want to choose who? Impossible. Massur-Dan is the only ashkhan I'll ever agree; Padus, at least he's a nice person; but Asha-tara? Bowing to the Hlaalu the way she did, she'll doom our camp in no time as ashkhan. No, never.

I say Massur-Dan is the best choice for ashkhan. My old tribe fell for our cowardice, and we cannot repeat this mistake. With such a heroic man as Massur-Dan leading us, we'll sure drive out the Hlaalu, and reclaim this land for ourselves.

There is truth in your words. Fine, I will agree to Padus being the ashkhan.

That... is fair. I haven't thought about it that way. I suppose Asha-tara has my support then.

Is that all you have to say? Come back when you have something better.

But Padus is just a scout! I say we need a warrior as ashkhan. Why, even Asha-tara would be better, at least she fights well.

What, are we just giving in then? Asha-tara is a coward who'll never dare to lead us into battles against the Hlaalu.

I suppose we can benefit from Padus' knowledge if he becomes the ashkhan, but I'll still prefer a warrior being in that role, just in case the need for battle arises.

I don't have much choice, do I?

If you can really do that... Alright, you have my support.

That's not very reassuring. I cannot take this risk.

I agree that Massur-Dan is a strong warrior, but I'm afraid his brashness will lead us to our doom.

I agree that Asha-tara is a good leader. Her prudence will serve the camp better than Massur-Dan's brashness. But Massur-Dan and his cronies are controlling the opinion of the tribe, supporting Asha-tara at this point will only sow more discord among us.

I don't like Massur-Dan's approach toward the Hlaalu, and I will not say that Asha-tara is an incapable leader. But since she is losing the majority's trust, a change in leadership seems inevitable. I'll prefer Padus as the new ashkhan.

Asha-tara has led us well to this point. It is strange to think of a woman as ashkhan, but these are strange times. I will support her claim.

I am afraid that war with the Hlaalu is inevitable, and it will be the destruction of our foundling tribe. But Massur-Dan gives us the best hope of at least making them hurt. That's why he has my support.

I dared not speak my mind against the majority before, but Padus is a fine young man, and will make a better ashkhan than Massur-Dan. He has my support.

Massur-Dan has led us well as gulakhan, but I fear he is too brash to be an ashkhan. What, are we really going to war with the Hlaalu?

Yes, Padus does take his responsibilities very seriously. I suppose you convinced me; I will support Padus.

Huh, I think I know Padus better than you do. Sorry, I stick to my own judgement.

Padus is not fitting for a leader in my opinion. He just loves roaming the wild and once I couldn't find him in camp for a whole week. How can we choose someone like that as ashkhan?

Perhaps there is truth in your words after all. Fine, I am convinced. Asha-tara has my approval.

Is that supposed to convince me? Sorry, no way.

Asha-tara is but a Hlaalu appeaser! Who are you, a Hlaalu spy?

There is indeed truth in that. Very well, I will support Padus.

I would say certainty is always better for such grave matters. Sorry, no.

Asha-tara has been our leader since the start of the Obainat, and Massur-Dan our gulakhan. Padus has only ever been a scout, I worry if he's capable as ashkhan.

You mean this is but Massur-Dan's propaganda? Now you say that, it does occur to me that Asha-tara is not entirely yielding to the Hlaalu -- I suppose I will agree.

What are you suggesting? What foul plot do you have in mind? Go away.

With Asha-tara's way of leading, we'll soon all become Hlaalu slaves! I will never agree to such a thing.

What does that have to do with me?

You want to support Padus? Seems to me like most of us favor Massur-Dan. But I really don't have a strong opinion on such things. Padus is nice, fine, I'll agree.

I agree Massur-Dan is the best choice. I'm glad you see things our way, outlander.

Why would you decide to support Asha-tara? Is there a change in opinion around the camp? Well, I don't really know what to think about these things, I guess I'll just agree.

I have agreed to Padus being our new ashkhan.

I have agreed to Massur-Dan being our new ashkhan.

I have agreed to Asha-tara being our new ashkhan.

Massur-Dan has the most support, but Padus cares more for our actual needs, and I'll always be thankful to Asha-tara for founding the tribe and taking us in. I honestly don't know who to choose.
