Elphinia Light-Tongued is a Wood Elf bard who can be found behind the Alcaire Castle. She is acquaintances with Dame Dabienne and is on the lookout for stories that she can make a high-tipping song out of.
DialogueEdit
When she is spoken to before freeing Dame Dabienne:
- "Don't mind me. I'm just trying to compose something for the Duke and his lady. I understand she has taste and pays good coin. That's if they stay together long enough to perform. There's a lot of tension in that court right now."
After solving the problems in Koeglin Village she decides that she wants to write a song about the event and the player:
- "Wait—aren't you the person who rescued Dame Dabienne from those made villagers? yes, I'm certain you are! She described you perfectly.
Do you have time? You must tell me everything. I can write a song about you!" - What do you want to know?
- "Well, I only heard a little when Dabienne reported back. Something about crazy villagers locking her up and planning terrible things.
How about you tell me what happened?"- Yes, the whole village was mad. If I hadn't saved her terrible things would have happened.
- "Terrible things? Always a crowd-pleaser. What kind of terrible things?"
- The town was attacked by slavers. / The constable locked her in the stocks. I proved she wasn't a spy for some slavers.
- "Ooh, slavers! That's good. The crowd always loves slavers—as villains, that is.
So you fought a great battle against them, one against many and then defeated their captain in single combat?"- Not really. I got the ship's ledger which proved the crew weren't slavers.
- "Oh. I suppose I can work with that."
- In the end, the villagers let Dabienne go and locked the Constable in the stocks.
- "This is going to be a bigger challenge than thought.
Maybe a comic tale. "How the Constable Got His Comeuppance." You'd be the hero, of course. I'm sure I can make a good story of it."
- Yes. Absolutely like that.
- "Wonderful, a heroic fight for the finish.
And then Dabienne swooned in your arms as you freed her from the stocks?"- You have met Dabienne, haven't you?
- "Ah. Good point. Dabienne might not like that. It's a shame.
A romance always generates good tips. Well, a heroic tale it will be! Thank you for your help." - Yes. It was a very passionate moment.
- "Wonderful! Slavers, swordplay, and a romance—I can hear it all now. It's sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Is there anything else?"- No, that was everything.
- "Well, I may have to fill in a few gaps—a chase or a mystical amulet or something.
Don't worry, you'll be famous!" - The constable was mad from nightmares. And there was an attack by a Dremora.
- "Nightmares? Dremora? No, that's just too much. You can't just throw anything into the tale.
I think a jealous constable will work much better. And we don't mention the Daedra. That will be much better. You'll see."
