DialogueEdit
When he is spoken with, he is eager to share his story.
- "Spare a coin for a veteran's meal?"
- What brought you to Marbruk?
- "Ah! You are one who is well-traveled! One who understands everyone has a story to share.
I was once an adventurer like yourself, until one fateful day, when my life changed forever." - Tell me about it.
- "It is always so. Never once has someone taken pity on Kuralit without hearing his sad tale of woe.
Can I share my burden with you? Will you listen to my story?" - All right. What's your story?
- "Know that I am not as old as my whiskers make me seem! My story begins not many years ago, when this one served in the Imperial army.
You may ask why I held such a position, but it was not by choice. Conscripted for my skills, I was in high demand." - What happened to you?
- "My ancestors were great Khajiit sailors, so I was assigned to a warship whose soul [sic] mission was to maintain order in the wake of the Knahaten flu sweeping the land.
You know of the Knahaten flu, yes?" - What's the Knahaten flu?
- Yes, I do. Continue your story. / Yes, continue your story.
- "One night, when Kuralit had already worked a triple shift, and thus was taking a well-deserved rest belowdecks, we aboard the Bountiful Mara, encountered the Crimson Ship!
You do know about the Crimson Ship?" - I'm sure you can tell me about the Crimson Ship.
- I've heard of it. Go on. / Are you saying your ship …
- "As I said, I slept. A sleep so deep and dreamless, nothing woke me. When I finally rose a day later, I found my crewmates missing, and a scribbled note about the Crimson Ship.
They had seen it! And all had perished, leaving me adrift." - How did you sail a ship back to port without a crew?
- "I could not! Many moons passed before another ship happened by. They blamed me for the crew's disappearance, and put me in the stocks! My career over, I became a beggar."
- What's the rest of your story?
- "Have I not suffered enough? No ship will take me on now as they think I am either cursed by the Crimson Ship, or sinister for killing an entire crew.
Maybe I am bad luck. When I got here, this was a Bosmer town. Now look! It is full of Altmer!" - Here, take this to get you back on your feet again. [Leveled Gold ]
Quest-Related EventsEdit
While looking for clues behind the recent thefts in the city, Kuralit can be questioned, though his story will be different.
- "You approach, knowing what you want! I was once like that, not that long ago. Please, share some gold with poor Kuralit?"
- Have you heard anything about the Artisan?
- "Kuralit hears and sees much, but it is difficult to recall when this one's stomach rumbles so. Alas, he does not have the coin for food."
[Intimidate]: Tell me or I'll sic the guards on you for obstruction of justice.
- "This one did not serve the Dominion for three years to be treated like this! Fine. Kuralit saw a Bosmer infiltrating the bank late at night."
- "A thousand blessings. This one's night-eye has not failed him yet. Kuralit caught a glimpse of a Bosmer sneaking into the bank."
After the Artisan is completed:
- "If I'd had the Artisan's skill, I would have used it to make enough gold to live somewhere else."
NotesEdit
- Across his dialogue, Kuralit states that he has served both the Imperial Legion and Aldmeri Dominion. It is unclear if any of this is true.
