You have settled the matter, %PCName.

All three Houses back your cause now. Impressive, %PCName. I can see why the Lord General entrusted this task to you.

With the support of both House Telvanni and House Hlaalu, this matter can safely be dropped.

With the support of both House Telvanni and House Redoran, this matter can safely be dropped.

With the support of both House Hlaalu and House Redoran, this matter can safely be dropped.

Someone of your standing should have little issue resolving the matter.

Thank you, Grandmaster.

Thank you, Archmaster.

Thank you, Archmagister.

If you manage to persuade one of the Houses to support the Empire, I can dismiss the matter. Llerar Mandas represents House Redoran, Galas Drenim represents House Telvanni, and Relen Hlaalu represents House Hlaalu. All representatives can usually be found in the Council Chambers.

You have secured the mine for the Empire. This will save the council a great deal of time, I assure you.

The Temple remains neutral, but favors the Houses. Leaving the Imperial Commission's Ruccia Conician and myself as your only advocates.

The situation is complicated, %PCName. The three Houses do not stand united in who should control the ebony, but none of them wish to see the Empire control it directly. House Hlaalu claims that the Caldera Mining Company charter applies to the Saros mine as well. House Redoran claims to have a duty to the Saros clan to protect their ancient property rights. House Telvanni seeks to negotiate concessions from the other Houses in return for their support in this matter.

House Telvanni will side with you, %PCName.

So it shall be. House Telvanni will back the Empire in this matter.

As you wish.

%PCRank %PCName, do you wish to support the Empire?

You have slain Gothren, so your argument clearly has merit. Very well, House Telvanni will support your cause.

House Telvanni must pursue its own interests, outlander. Although I might be able to persuade the council of your argument if you bring me the Skirt of Swift Steps.

Leave me, rude outlander.

I won't weaken House Redoran. Go bother someone else.

House Redoran supports the Empire.

Then I shall vote accordingly.

Very well.

Should House Redoran support the Empire in this matter, %PCRank?

As you have shut down the ebony mines in Caldera and weakened Hlaalu influence in the area, we can concede to the Empire here.

You defeated Archmaster Venim. The councilors will side with you.

Archmaster Venim won't side with the Empire on this matter. Not while Hlaalu's Caldera ebony mines are still operational. House Redoran has lost too much ground already.

I won't shame the ancestors by discussing this with you, %PCRace.

House Hlaalu supports Imperial control over the mine.

Very well. House Hlaalu will stand with the Empire.

As you will.

Do you wish to cede to the Empire in this matter, %PCRank?

You found the lost Vassir-Didanat mine for House Hlaalu. Of course we will support your claim.

Orvas Dren's death has... shaken the councilors. Very well, House Hlaalu will support the Empire in this matter.

The Caldera Mining Company charter obviously grants House Hlaalu a seat at the table at the very least. Find us another ebony mine, and we can talk about supporting your claim instead.

I don't see why I should discuss that with you, outlander.

The Legion and Navy can count on the support of the Imperial Commission in this matter. The mine belongs to the Empire by the terms of the Armistice.

The Temple must maintain its neutrality in this matter, %PCRank. We must abide by Imperial law, but we must likewise defend the rights of the faithful.

The Temple is, of course, neutral in this matter. All parties hunger for fortune, but we pray some of this will benefit the faithful.

You have done well, %PCName. Diplomacy is vital to maintaining the Legion's standing in Morrowind.

We may discuss this further after you make amends.

Persuade the Grand Council to drop their claims, %PCName. Imperial law must be upheld.

Vvardenfell District's Grand Council is obstructing progress. The Great Houses demand control over the Saros mine, and the Duke has not been able to overrule them. The Empire obviously cannot allow this to happen, so I'm sending you to Ebonheart. Speak to Duke Vedam Dren and persuade the Council to drop their claims.
