Deetum-Jah is an Argonian apprenticed to Nisswo Kahei and can sometimes be found with her in the ruins north of Bright-Throat Village. Nisswo Kahei is trying to teach him a lesson about fear which he doesn't really get but you can help or hinder it.
DialogueEdit
- "Nisswo Kahei may be wise, but she can be a real kuuda sometimes. How are we to fend off anything if she refuses to let me light a fire?"
- Why won't she let you light the fire?
- "It's every day with these crazy lessons! I know that she's trying to teach me the ways of Sithis, but I don't even see the point of this one. Why does Sithis care if we light a fire?
It makes me question why I ever agreed to be her voh-vastei." - Voh-vastei?
- "An apprentice. I cannot dishonor Nisswo Kahei's wishes, but how can I one day spread the word of Sithis if some hackwing eats us?
However … she has not forbidden you from lighting the fire."
Ah, I see what you mean. I'll light the fire.
- "Sithis be praised. Thanks to your kindness, I will live another night."
While that's true, it's best not to go against your mentor's wishes.
- "Fine then. If you won't help, just leave me to my death."
Speaking to him again if you told him you would light the fire:
- "Go ahead and light the fire."
If you decidee to interfere in the lesson by lighting the campfire:
- Deetum-Jah: "Well, would you look at that. How kind of this traveler to light our fire!"
- Nisswo Kahei: "Hmm. And so the lesson is wasted."
Deetum-Jah will say:
- "In Murkmire, the priests of Sithis are known as nisswo, the nothing-talkers. This is because they speak the words of the void.
Or so Nisswo Kahei tells me, at least."
- "I've felt a connection to Sithis ever since my egg-mother died. That... might sound odd, I know, but there was a comfort in its darkness and carelessness.
I once thought my mother's cruel. Now I understand it to be but a part of the cycle."
- "One day, I will be a nisswo with an apprentice of my own. And when that happens, you can be certain that I will not put them in life-threatening situations!"
- "When Nisswo Kahei first arrived in my village, I wanted nothing more than to learn by her side. She spoke of a change that I desperately needed, and so I begged to become her apprentice.
A decision I'm seriously questioning now, of course."
If you side with Nisswo Kahei the lesson will continue:
- Nisswo Kahei: "Embrace your fear, Deetum-Jah. Only then can you see past it."
- Deetum-Jah: "Fine. Given our impending deaths, that shouldn't be too hard to do."
He will then sarcastically either say to you:
- "You wish to talk? Oh, my apologies, but I'm far too busy contemplating my own death."
- "I would love to talk, but I'm a tad busy pondering my own mortality."
