DialogueEdit

When Urata is defeated:

Fingaenion: "Gilraen! You look—are you all right?"
Fingaenion: "What did they do to you?"
Gilraen: "Never mind that. How about you try not getting yourself killed? The Valkyn and his pet Titan—we're going to slay them before they do the same to us."
Valkyn Skoria: "I will see to it the Golden Flame erases you."

Arriving at the Ash Titan:

Valkyn Skoria: "Your skins will make fine banners!"
Monynen: "What is that, up in the sky? It's like no fowl I've ever seen."
Ash Titan: "This is the end of the line. Valkyn Skoria wants you dead."
<The Titan lands, and breathes fire at him.>does he breathe fire at Monyen, or does a giant circle of flame explode out from underneath him when he lands?

When you reach the crossroads in front of the broken bridge during the quest, Skoria will address Gilraen.

Valkyn Skoria: "Do you have a deathwish, mortal wretch? You've been complacent for so long—why seek open war now?"
Gilraen: "I'm leaving. The deal was my husband and the others would be spared. You violated the Pact, and before the day is done, I will see you dead."
Valkyn Skoria: "A Daedra doesn't know the meaning of that word, my dear. This will be unpleasant."
Gilraen: "For you."

Reaching Skoria during Return to Ash:

Valkyn Skoria: "You don't need to come down here for me to hurt you."
Gilraen: "No! Fingaenion!"
Gilraen: "Tear his heart out! I'll tend to my husband."
