Greymoor PrologueEdit

The vampires in the Riften Ratway can be overheard.

"I'm bored. I need a throat to rip out."

"I am meant for more important tasks than these."

"I thirst."

"Soon everything will be in place."

"The next prey is mine."

"Find your own shadow. This spot is mine."

"My fangs for a decent meal!"

"That witch gave me a look."

"Too many ceremonies for my taste."

"Tell me the word has been sent."

"I smell fresh blood!"

"All this waiting gets on my nerves."

"My thirst must be sated!"

"I crave blood!"

"Remain vigilant. We are close to our goal."

"This land is full of fat, sluggish prey."

"Where are the witches when you need one?"

"May the night hide you, my brethren."

"They call that a storm?"

"I grow tired of this place."

"Why am I being punished with such menial tasks?"

"I deserve better than this."

"Why do they keep sending me to places such as this?"

"The coven serves a purpose, yes?"

"I crave blood!"

"My thirst must be sated!"

"I smell fresh blood!"

"Tell me the word has been sent."

"Too many ceremonies for my taste."

"That witch gave me a look."

"My fangs for a decent meal!"

"Find your own shadow. This spot is mine."

"The next prey is mine."

GreymoorEdit

These lines can play in the Reach and Western Skyrim. Beyond the prologue, you'll find werewolves among the Gray Host.

"We're planning to raze my hometown soon. I'm looking forward to it."

"The Gray Host will soon conquer Skyrim, Oblivion, and death itself."

"Hey, some of my best friends are werewolves."

"The harrowed aren't zombies despite how much they resemble them."

"When did your clan swear loyalty to the Ashen Lord?"

"The harrowstorms are doing all the work for us, but they're taking all the fun out of the conquest."

"Has the pentarch heard anything? I'm tired of waiting for new orders."

"I can't tell whether those stone husks are aware of us or not. It's unsettling."

"With the return of the Exarchs, the Gray Host will be whole."

"I hear someone coming. Be on your guard."

"The Ashen Lord has waited centuries for this war. We can wait a little longer."

"I've been practicing this technique for a hundred years. It's flawless."

"I can't be near the gray reliquaries. The remains speak to me. A cacophony of our brethren calling out to be freed."

"I'm honored to be a part of the Ashen Lord's grand design."

"I want to see the looks on their faces when the Gray Host comes charging out of Blackreach."

"Have you seen those disgusting, eye-less things around Blackreach? Can't wait to be above ground for good."

"Don't kill the live ones. Better they get fed to the harrowstorms."

"Wish we could sleep on beds and not piles of hay."

"With every ritual we grow nearer to our goal."

"The witches are only using us."

"The ritual is stronger than ever."

"We will need more corpses."

"They tossed new meat down into the crypts."

"Solitude will fall and the Gray Host will rise!"

"Our task reaches closer to completion every day."

"There won't be a living soul in Western Skyrim by the time we're done."

"Relax, the storms have no effect on vampires."

"I've been shadowing traveller. No one expects what's coming."

"Make sure no one escapes. Keeping the element of surprise is crucial."

"I grow tired of these coven witches bossing me around."

"Has anyone told you what happens during these storms? Me either."

"Sometimes I like to lick the blood off my blades."

"Hmph. We're only letting the Reachmen think we're sharing with them."

"I find blood tastes best after a long chase. It's the fear."

"Don't let the pentarchs catch you feeding on the prisoners."

"Bah, we're werewolves, not watch-hounds."

"The sisters' will shall be done!"

"Be patient. The Ashen Lord has been preparing this plan for thousands of years."

"When the west falls, the east will soon follow."

"Don't anger the bloodknights. I saw one pull a harrowfiend apart bare-handed."

"The rebirth ritual goes far beyond simply raising the dead."

"Bah, harrowfiends. Death hounds are smarter and more obedient."

"I love not having to hide our true nature any longer."

"The undermining is expanding rapidly now. Soon we'll be able to strike all across the western holds."

"Have you seen an Exarch? They have power we can only dream of."

"Did you see that fiend eat those skeevers?"

"I don't trust all of these strange faces."

"The harrowed feel nothing, do not be gentle with them."

"Do you think the harrowed feel pain?"

"The harrowstorms fill the sky like blood."

"The barrow, it stinks of dead Nords."

"Greymoor grows more crowded by the day."

"Wait, what's that? Eh, just feeling jumpy."

"We need to complete these rituals without anyone the wiser."

"The coven make better allies that I thought."

"If anyone comes poking around the witch pikes. Kill'em."

"My fangs are aching in anticipation."

"We won't need to remain hidden much longer."

"I heard there are easterners tracking the coven. Be on the lookout."

"Don't tell, but I ate one of the Reachmen. They're gamey."

"I grew up on stories on monsters in the night. Now I am one."

"We should be safe here, right?"

"This will not halt what we have set in motion."

"We must pay the price for such incompetence."

"I'm so thirsty. I wish we didn't have to hide."

"We must regroup. Take precautions."

"The Gray Host is finally on the attack and we're here guarding sticks and potions for the Reachmen."

"I thought our pack was strong, but the Gray Host make us look like suckling pups."

"I don't see why we need the stinking Reachmen."

"If I had killed the queen, they never would have caught me."

"Don't turn your back on the harrowfiends. One of them actually tried to bite."

"How many clans have sworn themselves to the Gray Host, you think?"

"Its hard to resist the temptation of sneaking into Dusktown for a quick bite."

"Watch out for chaurus when in Blackreach. They have no fear."

Kyne's AegisEdit

The Gray Host invaders at Kyne's Aegis have their own chatter.

"Glad to be off the boat for a while. Too cramped."

"All right. You grab the legs. I'll grab the arms. On three."

"Don't kill the cute ones. They make good pets."

"Smash these curs through the ice!"

"I dislike it here. These ruins have no life, no blood."

"Blackreach is almost pretty, if you look at it the right way."

"I do not understand the Icereach Coven's methods, but they are effective."

"I'll make pentarch soon enough."

"I've seen the Ashen Lord. No, really"

"I don't trust Essenia's bloodknights. How loyal can her creations be?"

"Hmph, Svargrim isn't worthy of the gift."

MarkarthEdit

"Everything is going according to the Ashen Lord's plan."

"The Gray Host. I love the sound of that."

"Reach blood! Tastes as bad as I expected."

"For blood and glory!"

"Let the mortals tremble in our wake!"

"Some of the vampires treat us like dogs. I hate that."

"And that's when I ate him."

"I'll tear out their hearts! See if I don't!"

"I prefer my meals … raw."

"Stay focused. We have a job to do."

"Work hard and we'll make an exarch out of you yet."

"Gray Host over all!"

"I'll test my claws against their steel any day!"

"I can smell their fear in the air."

"The Reachfolk thought they had me surrounded. Stupid mortals."

"By claw and fang, as the Ashen Lord commands, we obey!"

"I do enjoy a good amount of clawing and slashing."

"The Heart must be fed. I have no wish to crawl again."

"Whose support can I count on?"

"I hate it when the food fights back!"

"Can you believe it? We're part of an ancient army!"

"This land … I can't believe we need something in this place."

"Stay focused or you'll answer to the Ashen Lord!"

"For the Ashen Lord!"

"These Reachfolk are no match for my claws."

"Ripped the arm right off! You should have been there."

"I'll tear out their hearts and swallow them whole!"

"You say the enemy, I say dinner."

"Stay focused! We have a job to do."

"Reach savages! Show them no mercy!"

"Hold these halls. We have our orders."

"If I have to rip apart one more Dwarven sphere …."

Story-RelatedEdit

These lines play in locations accessed at certain points in Markarth/Western Skyrim's zone stories.

"Remain vigilant. Those who trespassed in the Keep may still be around."

"It seems to me this may actually represent an opportunity of sorts. Belain is out of the way."

"You call it a battle, I call it a meal!"

"I've heard the Ashen Lord has been planning this conquest for thousands of years. It'll be magnificent."

"I was with Varen's legion before Bal's invasion. Got bitten at one of the Dark Anchors. Heh, now look at me."

"Let the mortals struggle, our conquest is close to complete."

"I was born near Verkarth, or what remains. A shame I never visited."

"I used to be part of the Bangkorai Garrison when I was alive. Ironic, eh?"

"I hate the taste of these Reachfolk. Gamey."

"I don't get why we don't slaughter those Ravenwatch sympathizers. No, no, I'm not questioning our leader."

"I just love, love, love all this death! I've never felt so alive!"

"I had my fill of Reachman blood when we drove them out of the Empire."

"Let these idiots squabble over rocks and dirt. The Ashen Lord has grander plans."

"Have you seen the Ashen Lord do battle? We are mere shadows by comparison."

"I can still hardly believe the Ashen Lord is a sword-saint. I thought the Ansei were the fanciful legends of my ancestors."

"I don't pretend to understand the Ashen Lord's plans, I just trust he knows what he's doing."

"Do you ever miss being alive? Hah, me neither."

"The sun's not so bad. Reminds me of taking a really hot bath. I used to love those."

"Always terrorize your prey before you sink your fangs in, it gives the blood an exquisite taste."

"Why are we attacking that location again?"

"I've never been more grateful to be numb to the cold."

"I was never partial to my old life anyway."

"I do miss the desert sands of home, but the sun was deadly there even before my tranformation."

"Remind me to tell you the legend of Leki's Blade sometime."

"Can't say I like working with the Nighthollow clan. Give me the creeps."

"My old clan would be considered positively wretched compared to the Gray Host. Joining was the best thing I've ever done."

"I guess I do feel a little bad for the mortals … but somebody's got to be the food."

"Ugh, I can't believe I used to be one of those cowering livestock, reeking of piss and fear."

"How many do you think we lost in Markarth?"

"Where's Lady Belain? Where's the Ashen Lord?"

"The Ashen Lord has a plan, doesn't he?"

"Did we know the Reachfolk had their own werewolves?"

"Where's Rada al-Saran? Where's Lady Belain?"

"Our losses were heavier than expected. Much heavier."

"Why did we retreat? We could have destroyed Markarth."

"Markarth was supposed to be ours for the taking."

"Bah. Let the Reachfolk have this place!"

"They told us the Reach was vulnerable. So how did we get beaten?"

"If I never see another Dwarven ruin, it will be too soon."

"I say we regroup and attack again!"

"Damned Dwarven machines! Die already!"

"Why are we down here? There's nothing to eat!"

"Vile murderers! My companion's death will be avenged!"^{[verification needed]}

"Why are we down here? There's nothing to eat!"

"Those savages will pay for defying the Ashen Lord."

"This arrow, I'm saving it for that Reach witch."

"I hate Dwarven constructs."

"How many more constructs must we dismantle?"

"After a while, these Dwarven spiders all look the same."

"I'm wounded! I need blood!"

"Why did the Dwarves fashion such horrible machines?"

"Everything was going according to plan. And then …."

"The Reach rebels. This is all their fault."

"This is our time, our day of victory. We will show them all!"
