The Dunmer ash statues are illegal trade goods for now, but in order to keep the ghost from troubling us again, we need to remain vigilant against illegal smuggling of the statues.

It seems that various people bought those statues as souvenirs. Odd trinkets, eh?

Keep me posted on any new developments regarding the statues. The Hlaalu don't seem to be pleased with the extra patrols, but the Indoril seem satisfied that we've made efforts to stop the trade of those statues.

You want the Empire to ban their shipment? I've come to agree. I'm going to put in a request to my superiors that the ash statues be declared an illegal trade good within Imperial jurisdiction. Also, I'm going to request more Imperial patrols in the area to enforce trade regulations.

A sound idea. The statues are unsettling, but they're not harmful.

Still chasing down those statues? You're going to an awful lot of trouble for very little reward. Have you not found any other way to banish the ghost?

Have you found out more about those odd dark idols? The Dark Elf ghost is still haunting the Tower.

What? You're mad! You'll be dead before you hit the ground!

Certainly. If the ghost is angry about these little trinkets, and giving him mine will make him leave, I'm all for it.

You say the ghost is angry about some sort of dark idols? Curious -- I wonder if it means the Dark Elf statues being sold down by the docks. I bought one myself. I got it from Cirtiel, a Bosmer with a stall near the docks.

Yes, thank you for taking that idol off my hands, %PCRace. I must say, I feel quite a bit better now that the idol is out of my possession.

Your words are tiresome, %PCRace. Go bother someone else.

Do you want to dispose of it? Now that you mention it, I've felt a little odd ever since I purchased the idol. Yes, I think I'll take you up on that offer, %PCRace.

What? Yes, I bought one of those Dunmer trinkets. It was quite eye-catching. There's something alien about it that reminds me of this province. Quite creepy, eh? Ha ha!

Yes, I did possess one of those statues, but I left it in your safekeeping, remember? I'm looking forward to restful sleep from now on.

Do you want me to teach you some manners with the flat of a blade? You'll get what you're asking for!

Yes, I think I will. It cost only a trifle, really, and I can find some other exotic knick-knack to replace it.

What's that? You're interested in the Dark Elf statue I bought? Yes, a curious object, isn't it? But it's the strangest thing -- ever since I bought the thing, I haven't been able to sleep well. I have the strangest dreams -- voices whispering to me, dark caverns -- it's positively disturbing.

I don't know what you said or who you said it to, but those ash statues have been ruled as illegal trade goods. I'm not very happy about it.

I already told you, %PCRace, I'm not going to stop shipping the Dark Elf statues. They're not illegal, and there's a market for them here.

Dark idols, eh? You mean the Dunmer statues? Black and red with glowing eyes? Yeah, I've been supplying them. What of it? They're not illegal contraband, if that's what you're implying. It's not worth your trouble or my time to put a stop to my selling these statues. I've had a pretty steady demand for them. Now if you'll excuse me, I have cargo manifests to go over.

So those ash statues are now illegal. Imagine that. I hear you had a hand in that turn of events, %PCClass.

I've told you all I know about the statues.

You honor me, sera. Can I interest you in any of my wares? All fully Dunmer handcrafted!

As for the other statues. I've sold a few to Imperials living in Old Ebonheart. Arnos Clatian, a Legion veteran living on the Craftsmen Street, bought one. The current head honcho over at the Ebon Tower's resettlement office, Quercus Duro, bought one as well. And one of the guards at the castle bought one, too -- Votus Titonian, I believe. I still have one left, if you'd like to buy it.

Really? Honestly, between you and me, the statues creep me out a little, too. I've already made my money off of them. If I don't have any of the statues left to sell, I won't restock them. I bought my stock from the Pride of Narusia's shipmaster. I've no idea whether he has any more. The Pride is berthed at the docks just beyond here.

What, the ash statues? They're harmless trinkets. I've been billing them as authentic Dark Elf artifacts to tourists. You know, to give them a chance to take a little piece of Morrowind back home with them.

Ah, but you have done as I have requested. You have gathered the sources of corruption that have entered the city and stopped those who would supply this poison. My anger is satiated for now. Here, mortal, take my ring. I need it not beyond the veil of death. Farewell for now, but I will be watching.

Yes, I see that you have gathered the foul idols, but you have not yet cut off the source of the infestation. Return to me when you have staunched the flow of these idols into the city.

You do not yet have in your possession all of the four idols that are polluting the city. Find them first and then return to me.

Why do you dither, mortal? Make haste and gather the dark idols and bring them here. My patience is not infinite.

Have you dammed the source of the corruption?

Perhaps. We shall see. Now leave and do as you have promised, or stay and perish in flames!

Your words please me. Now leave and do as you have promised, or stay and be burned to ash!

I care not for your threats. Burn, mortal!

They bring fevered dreams and infect the minds of many. Slay the corrupted souls who bought them and bring the idols to me.
