Culture Clash[edit]

After completing the quest in the Council Chamber of the palace in Alinor, Alwinarwe will enter:

Courtier Vindilween: "Proxy Queen Alwinarwe, may I present the Nord ambassador, Rigurt the Brash."
Rigurt the Brash: "Pleased to be seeing your beautiful face, your majesty! Sign the treaty and we can break for dinner, unless you want to be negotiating first."
Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, ambassador. I'll listen to what you have to say and we'll see where the evening takes us."
Rigurt the Brash: "As long as the evening includes lots of mead, that sounds fine to me!"
Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "Ambassador, I find your Nordish inclinations to be most … refreshing."
Rigurt the Brash: "Oh, Rigurt has plenty of inclinations, your majesty!"
Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "We look forward to finding out all about your inclinations, Ambassador Rigurt. Come along. The Royal Chef makes a rabbit meatball pie that you'll absolutely devour."

The Tower Sentinels[edit]

When you first speak to her during the quest:

If your character is an Altmer:
If your character is not an Altmer:
"A new face in the court! And how pleasant and interesting it is! We do appreciate the return of our brothers and sisters to the Blessed Isle, even if our nobles count you among the other newcomers.
Now then, what business brings you to the palace?"
"We grow accustomed to the influx of visitors to our Blessed Isle, though your increasing numbers remain a source of concern to our nobles. We, however, find the many non-Altmer faces to be … interesting.
What business brings you to the palace?"
The Ritemaster of the Psijic Order sent me to get your permission to enter the College of Sapiarchs.
"The Psijic Order? We have not heard a word from that august body in a star's age, and then word arrives that we should expect a visitor.
Why would we grant access to the Sapiarch's private compound? Speak true if you want our aid in this matter."
The Crystal Tower is in danger. The Ritemaster sent me to warn the Sapiarchs.
"This involves the business that Razum-dar was telling us about? The Queen's cat claimed he had eyes in the Psijic Order, but we assumed that was more of his braggadocio.
Very well. We'll send word to Lillandril that you may cross to the College."

After advancing the quest, you can ask her a few questions.

If your character is an Altmer:
If your character is not an Altmer:
Is there anything I should know about the College of Sapiarchs?
"Of course. We have nothing else to do but talk about the many wonders of the Blessed Isle.
Let us tell you all about the Sapiarchs, the Divine Prosecution, Altmer recipes, and perhaps even the schedule of performance for the House of Reveries."
I'm getting the sense I may have offended you in some way.
"You do? It's good we consider you as charming as you are interesting.
The Sapiarchs teach us and guide us, bringing their knowledge to every part of Altmer society. Their compound in Lillandril serves as the seat of their college."
I'll head to Lillandril immediately.
"Of course. And we shall alert the portal master to accommodate you. Once inside, seek out Larnatille, Sapiarch of Arcanology. She leads the College and should hear the Ritemaster's warning.
For an Altmer, you have much to learn, newcomer."
Is there anything I should know about the College of Sapiarchs?
"The newcomer wants us to blather on about the many wonders of the Blessed Isle? Why, by all means!
Let us sing praises of the Sapiarchs, reveal a recipe for an Altmer delicacy, and select the best House of Reveries performance for you to attend."'
I'm getting the sense I may have offended you in some way.
"Indeed? Perhaps you aren't as dull as we first presumed.
My Queen has asked that we welcome you, so we shall tell you that the Sapiarchs are our teachers. The compound in Lillandril serves as the seat of their prestigious College."
I'll travel to Lillandril immediately.
"And we shall alert the portal master to accommodate you. Once inside, seek out Larnatille, Sapiarch of Arcanology. She leads the College and should hear the Ritemaster's warning.
There! We have done our deed for the day!"

Speak to her before leaving and she'll add:

"If the Ritemaster of the Psijic Order believes the Crystal Tower may be in some sort of trouble, you must make haste to the College of Sapiarchs. Seek the portal master in Lillandril.
Now go. We have no more time to spare for a newcomer today."

A New Alliance[edit]

Enter the council chamber and a heated discussion will be taking place:

Sapiarch Larnatille: "You can't make such demands. The Sapiarchs are the keepers of the Crystal Tower!"
Valsirenn: "This is about more than the College of Sapiarchs, Larnatille!"
Razum-dar: "If Raz could intervene? Perhaps we should hear from our newly arrived friend?"
Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "We concur with Razum-dar. Let us hear what the adventurer has to say."

Speak to her:

"This situation sets a precedent that makes us uncomfortable. The Psijic Order tries our patience, but we will allow this council meeting to play out.
Razum-dar has suggested we hear from you. So, please, talk to Larnatille and let's get on with it."

After speaking to Larantille, Raz suggests that she listen to you based on testimony of her fellow Summerset citizens that have benefited from your council:

Razum-dar: "Our friend has proven their mettle time and time again. Raz thinks you should hear about these deeds."
Razum-dar: "Oriandra, admit our guests now, yes?"
Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "What are you up to, Razum-dar?"

At this point, any number of elves enter the room and endorse you for merit (depending on what quests have been completed). After all have had their say, Alwinarwe will continue:

Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "We have heard enough! We accept that the adventurer is trustworthy. Sapiarch Larnatille, listen to what they have to say."

Once you've convinced Larantille, the gathered congregation leaves the room. After a few last words with Valsirenn, she'll send you to speak to everyone's favorite cat-man in the audience hall. Approach the throne and the Proxy Queen and Raz will be in mid banter:

Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "Razum-dar … remove your furry seat from our throne."
Razum-dar: "After all Raz has done for Queen and country, you would deny him this small comfort?"
Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "Why cousin Ayrenn tolerates you, we'll never understand."

Speak to her and she'll tell you:

"We deal with Razum-dar out of respect for our dear cousin, but some days … some days are more trying than others."

Finish the quest and the Proxy Queen and Raz will be back at it:

Razum-dar: "Enjoy yourself, my friend! Raz certainly plans to."
Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "Our throne, Razum-dar. We would have it back now."
Razum-dar: "So tense, your majesty! Must be this uncomfortable throne. Perhaps Raz could suggest a most comfortable cushion upon which you could sit."
Proxy Queen Alwinarwe: "Such a cushion is much too lumpy for our tastes, cat."

Speak to her one last time:

"We thank you for the aid you provided to our green and pleasant land. Newcomer, you have shown us that sometimes change is for the best."
