QuestorOffer:  [1000]
<ce>                      Greetings %pcf. I am Medora
<ce>               Direnni, former sorceress to the court of
<ce>               Daggerfall. I have an interest in helping
<ce>               you in your aim to exorcise the spirit of
<ce>               King Lysandus, but I can do little in my
<ce>               present circumstances. If you would pay a
<ce>                 visit to a certain other sorceress, I
<ce>               can lift the curse on Direnni Tower. Will
<ce>                       you do this for me, %pcf?

RefuseQuest:  [1001]
<ce>                You refuse someone very much in need of
<ce>                     your help, %pcf. I hope your
<ce>                    conscience will give you peace.

AcceptQuest:  [1002]
<ce>                     I will be in your debt, %pcf.
<ce>                   Nulfaga, the mother of my former
<ce>                  Lord Lysandus is a renowned mystic,
<ce>                  but I have heard whispers that the
<ce>                  loss of her son has turned her mad
<ce>                   with grief. If this is not true,
<ce>                   she can and will help me. I need
<ce>                   a certain rare item, the horn of
<ce>                  a Great Unicorn to break the curse
<ce>                    on Direnni Tower. If Nulfaga is
<ce>                    indeed mad, you must search her
<ce>                     castle for this horn yourself
<ce>                    and bring it back to me. I will
<ce>                expect you back in =2shedungent_ days.

QuestFail:  [1003]
<ce>                   Without that horn, I cannot help
<ce>                           you at all, %pcf.

QuestComplete:  [1004]
<ce>                You have succeeded in a most dangerous
<ce>                      enterprise, %pcf, but many
<ce>                more such trials await you. By bringing
<ce>                the horn to me, you have helped me lift
<ce>               the curse the Queen Dowager placed on my
<ce>                 tower. I hope I can count on you for
<ce>                    further aid. For now, take this
<ce>                      _magicitem_ as your reward.

RumorsDuringQuest:  [1005]
No one will go near the Isle of Balfiera since the Queen of Oblivion arrived.
<--->
Balfiera was once an exclusive resort. Now it is the land of the dead.

RumorsPostfailure:  [1006]
The fairy lady was supposedly trapped there by the evil of her own spellcraft.
<--->
%god's curse is on the former Witch of Daggerfall, damned forever in Balfiera.

RumorsPostsuccess:  [1007]
A great hero saved the poor Lady of Balfiera from the curse of a wicked queen.
<--->
A %ra has lifted the curse on the Lady of Balfiera and restored the land.

QuestorPostsuccess:  [1008]
<ce>               United thoughts and counsels, equal hope
<ce>              And hazard in the once glorious enterprise
<ce>              Joined with me once, now misery hath joined
<ce>               In equal ruin! Eternal, eternal, eternal
<ce>               ruin. Oh, my child, why wouldst thou not
<ce>              listen, thy ear, thy glorious mortal face,
<ce>                 thy throat, and the arrow. Oh misery.
                                     <--->
<ce>                 Choosing out few words most horrible,
<ce>               Let none them read! Verses, verses frame
<ce>               which with and other spells like terrible
<ce>                curses Heaven! Curse Oblivion! My boy!
<ce>                My boy is dead and let Tamriel tremble
<ce>                 until he and I findeth peace denied.
                                     <--->
<ce>            Say, what strange motive, Goddess! could compel
<ce>             an arrow to my beloved Lysandus' bare throat?
<ce>              Did he die there mourned and blessed or are
<ce>              my pretty birdies all turned to graywings?
<ce>             I search the afterworld, the underworld, and
<ce>             the world-between and no where do I find the
<ce>                lightness of my son. Oh, madness to thy
<ce>                       breast I cling suckling!
                                     <--->
<ce>                We are only like dead walls or vaulted
<ce>               graves, that, ruined, yield no echo. Oh,
<ce>                this gloomy world, in what a shadow or
<ce>                deep pit of darkness doth, womanish and
<ce>               fearful, mankind live. How came Lysandus
<ce>               by his death? In a mist, I know not how.
<ce>               Oblivion not come yet? I'll it nearer by
<ce>               a perspective, or make a glass that shall
<ce>              set all the world on fire upon an instant.
<ce>               I cannot sleep; my pillow is stuffed with
<ce>                        a litter of porcupines.

QuestorPostfailure:  [1009]
<ce>               Of course I will give Medora the horn of
<ce>               the Great Unicorn. She was a favorite of
<ce>                    my beloved Lysandus after all.

QuestLogEntry:  [1010]
%qdt:
 Medora, the former court sorceress of
 Daggerfall, has sent me to Shedungent in
 the Wrothgarian Mountains. Shedugent is
 home to Nulfaga, mother of Lysandus.
 There I must retrieve the horn of the
 Great Unicorn. If Nulfaga is unable to
 help, I must search her castle Shedugent
 for the horn myself. I have =2shedungent_ days
 to return to Direnni Tower.

<ce>                  The delicate, spiraled horn curves
<ce>                  slightly before ending in a deadly,
<ce>                   sharp point. You had always heard
<ce>                   that unicorn horns were of purest
<ce>                  alabaster ivory. This one seems to
<ce>                         be more like silver.
