Hmm... recurring dreams, you say? This doesn't sound like a supernatural affliction to me, but more like something that can be solved with the right potion! A sleeping draught, for example. I have one available for purchase, should you be interested.

The woman is plagued by recurring nightmares? You've come to the right place, because this sounds exactly like the sort of thing that one of my sleeping draughts can help her with. She should give it a try. I can promise her restful, dreamless sleep, and no more nasty visions of our fine city drowning.

I told you all I know, mortal. These dreams you speak of bore me. YOU bore me. Leave, or offer up some more inspired fancies.

A lady in Bal Foyen dreams of the city sinking? And that's why you've come all the way here? No, I have never heard of Tirasa Melvos. I certainly did not send any of my minions to afflict her. Do I know of all the twisted designs of my Lord Sheogorath? Of course not. But I imagine that our Sovereign has more interesting things to do than send a vision as boring as this to some pompous Tribunal devotee. Tell her she may believe what she wants, of course. I would never dissuade a mortal from going mad.

%name still thinks they are just common nightmares. Do what you will, but don't blame the guild if you decide to go to Veranzaris and get in over your head.

It doesn't sound very magical to %name. Lots of people have recurring nightmares. But if you are seriously considering that there is more to it, the only thing %name can think of is Veranzaris. It's a big Daedric shrine dedicated to Sheogorath, and it's just to the west of Bal Foyen. Who knows, maybe something there is influencing this woman. Not that %name would ever suggest anyone go there, mind you. You might soon be dreaming of worse things if you do.

We have several copies of 'Almalexia Speaks to Children' here. Tirasa Melvos is welcome to come and read them at any time. They are not for sale or loan, but if you want your own copy, I am sure Elar Fandas here in town can sell you one. His store is on the western side of the city, not far from the Temple island.

Tirasa Melvos sent you? I'll tell you the same thing we told her when she came here -- we found no hint of any malignant power afflicting her, and she would do well to stop spreading her superstitions to others. Perhaps her mind has latched on to a sermon she heard. Mighty waves sweeping over the land feature prominently in the book 'Almalexia Speaks to Children', which we often preach from, due to its local significance. If Tirasa would visit the Temple more often, perhaps she would know that.

I hope the devout here will be able to help me.

Thank you for alerting me to the ash statues, %PCName. I will go to the Monastery of St. Seryn and seek help from the priests there. It's on the eastern bank of the Thirr River, north of Dondril.

I fear you've got it right, %PCName. I've heard stories about vile artifacts like that polluting your dreams. Very well, if the priests here can't help me, I will go to the Monastery of St. Seryn and seek to be rid of that foul influence. Perhaps just leaving Bal Foyen will be enough. You should consider doing the same, especially if you've come into contact with the ash statues. Before I leave -- here, take this gold for your reward.

Ash statues you say? I-- no, I do not believe that this is where my dreams come from. I've had them for many months now, and I don't traffick with any out-of-town merchants, let alone smugglers. Have you tried looking into other causes yet?

Welcome back, %PCName. No, I haven't had any troubling dreams since I started taking the potion every evening. Of course, one can never know. Maybe there was more to my dreams after all!

Let's see if that potion will do anything.

This is the potion that's supposed to stop my dreams? Very well, I will trust you on this. She said five drops every evening? Yes, that should last me for a while. We shall see if these really are just common dreams, like the alchemist said. If they are not, I am sure this little mixture won't stop them. Here is some gold for the potion, and a magical amulet I bought. Not that it did me any good.

Well, I have my doubts whether a simple potion will help me, but I am willing to try it. Would you acquire this potion on my behalf, %PCName? I will make sure to repay you, of course.

They want me to take a simple potion to just... make the dreams go away? I fail to see how this would help. Clearly there is more to them, and deadening myself to their warning will not protect me -- or the city -- should they come to pass. I am afraid I can't trust your advice on this.

I hope the devout here will be able to help me.

Thank you for helping me realize Sheogorath's corrupting influence before it was too late. I will go to the Monastery of St. Seryn and seek help from the priests there. It's on the eastern bank of the Thirr River, north of Dondril.

You spoke to the Daedric fiends? They won't admit to it, but they don't deny it either. Alas, I think you were right to pursue this lead. With a shrine to the Dark Daedra of madness so close to the city, I'm surprised more people aren't having strange dreams. Or perhaps I'm more receptive than others? No matter, I will not be led astray by Sheogorath. If the priests here can't help me, I will go to the Monastery of St. Seryn and seek cleansing. Thank you for braving Veranzaris on my behalf. Here, for you.

Yes, %PCName, I am still on my way to Almalexia. I've had the dreams again, and they are making my convictions ever stronger!

Thank you, sera. I will be on my way to Almalexia soon.

All this because I once heard some priest talk about it? No, there is more to my dreams than this. And I have you to thank for helping me realize that. I will make the pilgrimage to Almalexia myself, and dedicate my life to the service of the Lady. Farewell, sera. Here, I want you to have these. I won't be needing them anymore.

So this is the book they want me to read? [Tirasa takes the book and skims through it.] Ah, here is the passage they are talking about! Yes! This describes my dreams exactly! A mighty blow coming down right in the center of this city, and the waters rushing in. Do you know what this means? I am receiving dreams about the glorious deeds Lady Almalexia has done here in the past. Or -- dare I say, might do in the future? After all, has our land not been invaded once again?

So they are still calling it superstition? I can't claim that I am surprised. And no, I must confess that I have never heard of this book. 'Almalexia Speaks to Children'? Would you be willing to find a copy for me? Maybe it will shed some light on my dreams after all.

Thank you for trying, %PCName. It's more than anyone else has done.

Have you found out anything about the source of my dreams? Are they a threat? A warning?

Thank you. I don't know if the members of the Tribunal Temple here will be more open-minded toward you than they have been toward me, but it might be worth a try. I have also considered consulting with others -- the local Guild of Mages, for example, or one of the unaffiliated healers here in town. There are two: Nevusa Falen and Hemmette Fauler. Their shops are just east and west of the Temple island, respectively.

What if they are a sign of things to come? Bal Foyen itself might be in danger. I am sure those dreams won't stop coming to me at night, so if you change your mind, you can find me here. As long as this place is still above water, that is.

I told you about my dreams of a flood, %PCClass. They have not gone away. Would you be willing to make inquiries on my behalf?

After the first few nights of this, I took my fears to the Temple here in Bal Foyen. You would think that they'd show concern, or interest, at least. But no! They told me that these are just dreams, and that this superstition is unbecoming of a faithful servant of the Tribunal. But it's not a superstition. I can see it as if I were there. I need to understand what is happening to me, and why. But I don't dare bring it up with the priests again. Say, would you be willing to make inquiries on my behalf?

They keep coming to me. I've had the same dream over a dozen times, for months now. I see great waves rushing into the harbor and sweeping through the streets, smashing ships and drowning people as they flee to higher ground. I see it tearing down the hovels of the docks and the manors above. And I always see Temple Island itself start sliding into the dark water, as if a great hammer had struck it right here on this little garden. This can't be just a mere dream, can it? Maybe I am being shown something.
