This dialogue is said by Dremora soldiers stationed in the Imperial City. They'll occasionally talk about the different districts.

Arena District Temple District Other Districts
  • "Dig in the ground, and you'll find even more of these vermin."
  • "Where did that little, green one go?"
  • "We should just flay their skin off and be done with it."
  • "We should throw the Worm Cultists into the arena."
  • "Even the game master joins the fight sometimes."
  • "Round up the mortals! The games must continue."
  • "Why don't they put any kyn in the Arena? I could spend all day slaughtering mortals."
  • "Come, mortals! The Devourer needs fresh meat!"
  • "The arena provokes such eloquent screams."
  • "They'll give them cast-off weapons, and make them kill each other."
  • "Imperial City is ours. The mortal fools just don't know it yet."
  • "There is no greater pleasure than corrupting an Aedric shrine."
  • "I do not know which is more foul, the sewers or the altar to the Aedra."

The Dremora will sometimes talk about their mortal "allies".

Legion Zero and the Worm Cult
  • "Not enough burning. Fetch me a Worm Cultist."
  • "Legion Zero belongs to us. We should kill them and raise them."

Their commentary sometimes turns to talking about Molag Bal's campaign in the Imperial City.

On the Campaign
  • "Molag Bal does not wish the entire city destroyed. Just this district."
  • "Scouts warned of mortal soldiers approaching. Be wary."
  • "What happened in the Magisterium cannot be repeated."
  • "Praise be our master. This campaign is a success."
  • "The White Gold Tower will be swallowed into the sky."
  • "Why do these fools resist? The Planemeld is inevitable!"
  • "The sooner these fools realize the Divines are finished, the better."
  • "This city will be a fine addition to Coldharbour."
  • "The city is ours. At this point, who can stand against us?"
  • "I wonder if we have secured the Nobles District yet."
  • "The Planemeld must continue!"
  • "Keep watch. The mortals seek to break the chain."
  • "Look behind that building. There may be more."
  • "Nothing gets by, on this side or the other."
  • "Hold fast, kyn. The mortals approach."
  • "The insects live under rocks and plot our doom. Find them."
  • "City walls are no barrier to the kyn."
  • "To arms! I sense mortals near."

They'll also make commentary on mortals and the world they live in.

Mortals and Mundus
  • "This city should burn. Burn it all, I say!"
  • "Look at how they squander their souls. Why shouldn't we take them?"
  • "I despise these mortals. Their cities are weak, their lives short."
  • "These mortals, endlessly scampering. Such unpredictable targets."
  • "I would suffer no mortal to live!"
  • "They hide in sewers, closets, and basements. We've not found them all."
  • "The seat of the mortal empire is a hamlet compared to the glory of Oblivion."
  • "These mortals are naught but disposable playthings."
  • "An Ayleid summoner once thought he could control me. I gutted him."
  • "No Khajiits. Cat-flesh is too gamey."
  • "The little ones from the forest make the most amusing servants."
  • "Sloads? I've not dealt with one for a thousand years."
  • "The vermin in the slums are easy pickings."

The kyn will often complain about their assignments, or talk about what they'd rather be doing.

Complaints
  • "Fools! Attack the ones with swords, not hooves!"
  • "Need more corpses to burn!"
  • "Where are my fresh corpses?"
  • "Enough of this. Wake me when the Planemeld happens."
  • "I thought this would be far more exciting than Coldharbour."
  • "These insects hardly merit our attention."
  • "I don't want parts. I need whole bodies!"
  • "These thralls would be more useful digging ditches."
  • "I have guard duty when I could be studying under Gati."
  • "The sewers are beneath me. I did not come here to swim."
  • "Why must we wait? I haven't killed something in hours."
  • "I miss hunting mortals. Perhaps we killed too many of them."
  • "This place is unworthy. Why do we waste our time?"
  • "Why the Dark Lord wants this pitiful city is beyond me."
  • "I miss Coldharbour. When do we go back?"
  • "If there is more work, then we need more thralls."
  • "The kyn does not deserve such treatment."

Sometimes, they talk about other Daedra. The Dremora seem especially concerned by the Xivkyn. Some Dremora see them as a threat, others quietly resent them.

Regarding Other Daedra
  • "The Xivkyn trained a Daedroth to do amusing things to banekin, and then called him general! How quaint."
  • "The Xivkyn trained a daedroth to do amusing things to banekin, and then called him "General." How droll."
  • "Ebral learned a new technique to apply magicka to skeletons."
  • "General Kryozote refuses to eat mortals. He consumes only scamps."
  • "We should destroy the Xivkyn now, before they replace us."
  • "Young clannfear need food to grow. Luckily, there are plenty of mortals around."
  • "The simple depravity of the Daedrat is admirable, in its own way."
  • "The master favors his Xivkyn. Can't you see that?"
  • "How can we command the Daedroth when they are ignorant of our orders?"
  • "Scamps! I need more scamps!"

You'll often hear the kyn kissing Molag Bal's rear-end.

Praising Molag Bal
  • "Molag Bal is the greatest prince I've ever served."
  • "I would rather clothe an ogrim's nethers than serve another Prince."
  • "Molag Bal rules here, as in Coldharbour."
  • "Our Dark Lord demands a sacrifice!"
  • "Thought is weakness. Obedience is the true power."
  • "Duty to the kyn. Duty to the Dark Lord."
  • "Sacrifices must be made in the name of Molag Bal."
  • "The kyn will burn this city for Molag Bal!"
  • "I have died a thousand deaths in service to Molag Bal."
  • "The Dark Lord's might encompasses all in this city."
  • "I've been to the Endless Stair and back in service of the Prince of Domination."

The Dremora often blurt out lines that paint a picture of how fitting their service to the Lord of Brutality is.

General Depravity
  • "Bits of the bureaucrat's flesh still decorate my shield."
  • "Bring death upon the mortals!"
  • "The spirits of the mortals are easily manipulated."
  • "Crush their lungs before their eyes. Then, crush their eyes."
  • "Scourge the mortal until it comes apart."
  • "Round up any mortals you can find. I would choose a pet."
  • "We will make a carpet of our victims' bodies."
  • "Mortals burn so quickly—too quickly. They should suffer much longer!"
  • "Paint the ground with the blood of mortals!"
  • "May the flesh peel from any mortal who dares come near."
  • "Have fun with the mortals. Send them to the Market when they are spent."
  • "I will unleash a storm upon the next worm that tries to get through."
  • "If it were up to me we would destroy every structure in this city."
  • "Bring me a prisoner. I want to see how much a mortal bleeds."
  • "When do we feast upon mortal flesh once more?"
  • "Mortal flesh is so easy to manipulate."
  • "Elven wine tastes best in the blood of an Elf."

Occasionally, you'll hear fragments of conversations between the kyn, their peers, or their mortal subordinates.

Points of Conversation
  • "I sense a powerful mortal near. Be cautious."
  • "The Lord of Domination leads the kyn. For now."
  • "I prefer disemboweling my foes. Shocking them is too subtle."
  • "I will not tolerate these Mundus-dwellers for long."
  • "It is often difficult to discern which mortals serve us and which we destroy."
  • "I smell man-flesh. There is prey nearby."
  • "Shields are meant for bashing faces!"
  • "Quiet, you fool! You'll end up in the sewers for that!"
  • "Killing mortals is an art that sometimes calls for patience."
  • "That Worm Cultist spoke as though we were equals. The nerve!"
  • "Has Molag Bal forgotten us? I refuse to believe it."
  • "Quiet, churls. I heard something."
  • "I am not so crude as to need a blade."
  • "This mortal land is too colorful for my taste."
  • "Were you spawned from the waste in the sewers?"
  • "Fool. You'll find yourself in the sewers for that."
  • "Skewering mortals never gets old, does it?"
  • "I will be at the right hand of a Daedric Prince one day, either Molag Bal or someone else."

Some of these lines are oddly specific.

The following lines can be said by both Xivkyn and Dremora:

  • "Lormantia Molag Bal."
