Eye of the StormEdit

After arriving on the island, she can be first met crouched down with some of the surviving Dominion Sailors.

"This is a disaster. The bastards were prepared for us."

I just came ashore. Is there a plan?

"We're no good to anyone like this. That nest of lamias is burning us down as we attempt to approach.
Anyone that makes it to the beach is dead as long as the lamias hold it."

I can handle the lamias.

"You don't fear death.
Good. We could well use one such as yourself. Push the lamias out of this area and we might gain some traction on this damned beach."

I'll return when it's done.

Once the quest is started you can ask who she is.

"We need this shore cleared to advance. Get these lamias off my beach!"

Who are you, again?

"Battlereeve Alduril, vanguard commander for the invasion fleet.
Are you having second thoughts? We need those Lamias dispatched, post-haste."

When the lamias have been cleared out, she will start giving orders to her soldiers.

Battlereeve Alduril: "All right, we've got work to do."

Battlereeve Alduril: "We've lost many securing this beach. Search for supplies and see if you can find wounded worth saving. Strict triage—we are bound to lose more before this day is over and I don't want to waste healing on the dead."

Dominion Sailors (All): "Yes commander!"

Battlereeve Alduril: "Shipwrecked soldiers and waterlogged vessels could come onto shore at any moment. I need you to direct the survivors and search for more out at sea. We're going to need as many capable fighters as we can get. Move out."

Dominion Sailors (All): "Yes commander!"

Battlereeve Alduril: "As for you .…"

You can then talk to her.

"This bodes well. With the beach clear we can take the fight to our enemy."

What's next?

"We have an army of lamias to deal with.
Our solution is decapitation—kill their leader, and they will abandon their objective. It's our only chance to gain a foothold on this island."

They have a leader?

"This group waits on the beck and call of a powerful lamia matriarch who decimated our forces as we arrived. She has since retired to the caves above.
We need her dead."

Understood. Lead the way.

"This you must do alone. I have an invasion force to coordinate, and I need you as a spearhead.
The island caves are up ahead. Good luck."

I'll see you inside.

After Sonolia the Matriarch is killed, the battlereeve will lead her forces in.

Battlereeve Alduril: "I want every corner of this cave searched. Just because that lamia matriarch's dead doesn't mean we get sloppy.
If we get ambushed someone's falling on their own sword."

You can talk to the Battlereeve:

"Our gambit paid off. The lamias on the shore fled soon after your entrance into the caves.
We've broken the back of their army, and are free to press the assault against the Maormer."

The Maormer?

"They are the sea-cousins of the Altmer, and have been our sworn enemies for generations.
We suspected they were planning an attack against Malabal Tor, so we struck first. The size of their invasion force … surprised us."

Why did you suspect them?

"Our agents on the mainland reported strange lights, ambient auras, and sudden lightning storms off the coast of this island, a known Maormer territory.
I believe they are preparing powerful weather magic."

What do you propose we do?

"We challenge the Maormer head on.
My scouts tell me the magical storms are menacing up ahead. Their source must be close. Head deeper into the island, investigate the spell the Maormer wizards are casting and stop it if you can."

Very well. I'll find the source of these storms.

"The storms on this island are not natural, and I fear that they play a part in the Maormer plan to attack Malabal Tor.
Find their source and silence them."

What will you be doing?

"My soldiers and I will hunt the remaining lamias and ensure the path behind you is clear. We will reconvene with you when this is done.
I should, perhaps, apologize, but I need you to serve as our spearhead for a while longer."

After Valaran Stormcaller is slain, the soldiers will catch up.

Battlereeve Alduril: "I don't want any loafing around! Don't care if you're tired from scaling that sheer cliff. I'd ask you to do it again in a second. Spread out and search this place. We'll need all the supplies we can get."

"I had my unit scale the sheer cliff behind us, and there was much complaining. The young are weak.
You, however, handled that Conduit Stone very well."

What just happened?

"You interrupted the flow of that Conduit Stone, causing an overload. Maormer equipment can be delicate.
It is well that you did—Maormer use Conduit Stones to enhance their magic. It will be more difficult for them to maintain this storm, now."

What now?

"The scouts report that there are two more Conduits Stones to deal with, one up ahead, and one at the summit of this mountain.
My soldiers and I must tend to the wounded, but we'll guard your rear as you advance. The lamias have all but fled."

I'll meet you at the summit. (Ends Conversation)

What to do once I've found the other conduits?

"Overload them like you did the first. They will amplify the Maormer weather magic if left unchecked.
They undoubtedly plan to use them to summon a storm that would ravage Malabal Tor."

Talking to her again:

"We're preparing to climb to the summit. Destroy the other Conduit Stones and meet us there."

Commodore Ohmanil

Once you have destroyed the conduits and reached the summit, Alduril will be waiting for you.

Battlereeve Alduril: "Let's move! I want that last Stone found and smashed! Or do you lot want to climb another cliff? It's only going to get rainier!"

"We had to ascend the cliff behind you and still beat you here. Try to keep up.
Though the scouts say you handled the second Stone quite well."

What's the next move?

"We've cut the legs out from under the Maormer.
We need only deliver the killing blow, and shutting down the last Conduit Stone should do it. It should be just ahead.

Let's destroy the final Conduit Stone.

When you reach the final conduit, the battlereeve will allow you the honors.

Battlereeve Alduril: "Good. This should be the last conduit. Let's take it apart."

However as you attempted to destroy the conduit, a massive lightning bolt will strike nearby, killing her soldiers.

Battlereeve Alduril: "No!"

Stormreeve Neidir: "You Altmer are so predictable. So arrogant."

Once the stormreeve is killed, you can talk to Battlereeve Alduril.

"I apologize. I should have known one of their mages would be lying in wait. Maormer are known cowards.
That was Stormreeve Neidir. If the Maormer wanted to hurl a tidal wave at the Malabal Tor mainland, it would have taken power like hers to do it."

Has the battle been won?

"Indeed. Tamriel is fortunate that my people decided to handle the crisis. And we are fortunate to have you.
If we had allowed it, the Maormer would have devastated the Malabal Tor mainland with their storms."

Speaking to her again, she will have one last comment.

"The Canonreeves who authorized this invasion will be pleased we averted an absolute crisis.
Thanks to you, the heavy losses we suffered in this battle will not be for nothing."
