All our efforts. For nothing.

Enough talk! It's time to put our plans into action. I'll be on my way soon. Meet me in the Deep Vaults at once.

I'm not quite sure how this ritual will go, but we won't have unnecessary witnesses where I plan to perform it: the Deep Vaults of Necrom. Go down into the catacombs and enter the Deep Vaults. Find a room at the top of a flight of stairs. I'll meet you there.

We should have all we need to talk to Alandro Sul now.

Have you talked to the Ashlanders yet, %PCName?

Unfortunately, I am not much of an expert on the origins of the Nerevarine heresies. I have just recently started to study the Ashlanders' stories. I only heard vague rumors about ringlets passed on from chieftain to chieftain. You as the Nerevarine might be able to learn more from them. You have consorted with their Wise Women in the past, have you not?

We have to accept your decision, Nerevarine.

I'll have to be honest with you, %PCName: I'm not quite sure how to perform this summoning ritual. It is not something one learns in the Temple. We'll have to improvise or experiment a bit when we get there.

We need a place that's both secluded and easily reachable at the same time. I know of such a place: the Deep Vaults of the catacombs of Necrom. There's a room up a set of stairs on the north side of the Deep Vaults. People rarely visit that area, and we won't draw attention there. Please, meet me there for the summoning.

If we wish to speak to Alandro Sul, we will need four or maybe even more ringlets.

I had hoped that the clue to the riddle of contacting Alandro Sul's spirit would lie with the Ashlander Wise Women. Have you talked to them?

So, I figure, obviously enough, that we have to ask the Ashlanders how to summon and speak with him. I cannot offer you more guidance than that, Nerevarine, but I figure with your connections, you'll be able to find a way.

But Alandro Sul is a special case. If the folktales are to be believed, his spirit was split into a thousand pieces at his death, to follow each of his disciples as they spread his story among the Ashlanders. He has little love for the House Dunmer, if he could even get himself back together enough to make a coherent comment.

I admit, I don't know how. Don't get me wrong! Most ancestor spirits will answer to the call of an Ordinator in Mourning. It is one of our major duties, looking after the dead and assisting them in reaching out to their living kin.

As to the ringlet fallen into the hands of the Imperial Cult: recently, one of the priests in Firewatch -- a corrupt and wicked individual who goes by the name of Ladia Tunifus -- has possessed herself of the ringlet. To her it is nothing but a shiny trinket. A bauble if you want to call it that. It is about time that this ringlet is returned to its righteous owners, and you certainly qualify, Nerevarine.

Should Boethiah possess knowledge of a lost ringlet and be willing to share it, then you should talk to Caros Cocceius. Cocceius is an outlander, but he follows the teachings of Boethiah. He is somewhere in Old Ebonheart. A 'castellan', the foreigners call him.

Then there's Boethiah. Admittedly, not usually known for trickery and subterfuge, but certainly he would value Sul exposing the truth about the Tribunal. Perhaps he too has taken precautions in case the truth needs to come to someone such as you -- the Nerevarine.

I know of one worshipper who could be of help. His name is Taros Dral and he hides in Vivec. Where exactly will you find him? I'm afraid that knowledge is hidden from me.

Mephala's machinations are always mysterious. Clearly, if anyone would have prepared for the truth to come to light through Alandro Sul's account, it would have been Mephala. Perhaps you should find a worshipper of Mephala -- a prophet if you will -- who can speak to you on Mephala's behalf.

This Gulakhan was lured into his endeavor -- doomed to failure -- by Azura. This was not a coincidence. It was Azura's way of making sure that one of the ringlets was kept for exactly this purpose. To allow you to summon Alandro Sul; to hear his version of the story firsthand. There can be no doubt about this. If we pursue this thought, we can assume that others did likewise.

A long time ago Azura incited a young Gulakhan into a foolish attempt at driving the priests of the nine gods out of Resdayn. Unsurprisingly, he failed and was killed in the process. At that time, he carried one of the ringlets, and upon his death it fell into the possession of the priests. They kept it in their coffers; not knowing what it was. You should be able to retrieve it from them.

You already know that through the ringlets from Sul's headpiece he spoke to us Ashlanders. However, calling his spirit into this world will require you to bring together four ringlets. Moreover, those four ringlets must not have been worn out. You already found one such ringlet; I can tell you where to find another one.

It is as the Wise Woman has told you. I have carried this ringlet since the day my father joined our ancestors, and yet I have never heard Alandro Sul's words. It will not help you contact his spirit.

I am not sure if you are wise or foolish to ask this of me. I carry one of Alandro Sul's sacred ringlets, as I carry his name, yes, but I do not think he would speak with you, even if you held my ringlet. If you are certain of your course, then speak to Nibani Maesa. I would counsel you to be wary, however. This stinks of House Dunmer duplicity.

I admit that I am curious. Have you spoken to Peakstar? Did you hear Alandro Sul speaking to you?

You might need to find a ringlet that was lost early, one that has not been worn by generation after generation. This is all the help that I can give you, %PCName. I do not know where to find such a ringlet. And, I admit, if I did I would try to get it to hear the voice of Sul myself. However, there is one who discerns things that I do not. You met her already: Peakstar. If anyone can help you, it is her.

The spirit of Sul was forever connected to the ringlets in his chainmail headpiece. Our ancestors would wear this wraithmail to see through Sul's eyes what happened to Nerevar. Eventually, the wraithmail was taken apart and the ringlets were spread among the tribes. They wore the ringlets as earrings. Through them Sul continued to whisper to them. However, the longer they were worn the fainter Sul's words became. I know of some ringlets, but none of their owners still hears the voice of Alandro Sul.

Alandro Sul was your shield-bearer -- that is, Nerevar's -- and fought alongside him at the Battle of the Red Mountain. Moreover, he witnessed the betrayal of Nerevar at the hands of the Tribunal. When he came to us, he taught us the truth about Nerevar's death. The Tribunal in their delusions and vindictiveness would not have their plans frustrated by the truth. So, they came after Alandro Sul and murdered him as well. But not even their so-called 'divinity' could stop the truth.

You wish to summon Alandro Sul? Hmm... Well, were you anyone but the Nerevarine, I would dismiss you. Who you are and what you have done changes that considerably. First, I shall tell you the story of Alandro Sul. The true story, not the lie taught by the priests.

Why would you want to summon Alandro Sul? The cycle is ended. Dagoth Ur has been defeated, and the days of the Tribunal are numbered. His voice is fading.

You want to summon Alandro Sul? If you were not the Nerevarine, I would kill you for this impudence.
