Worm Cultists in the Imperial City have their own dialogue. Unlike the previous lines, this pool is not shared with bandits.
- "Nobles Plaza, a filthy sewer ... doesn't matter. Guard duty is guard duty."
- "I am but a tool for the kyn."
- "Magicka has great power over flesh."
- "A Dremora called me "worm-slave." Is that really how they see us?"
- "I would prefer to be posted to the Arboretum."
- "There have to be more bodies in the water."
- "This city will be raised from the dead!"
- "The Xivkyn can't admit our importance in causing the Planemeld."
- "I don't question Legion Zero's capability. Just their loyalty."
- "I have been in the White-Gold Tower before. It's not that impressive."
- "Any word on the Magisterium? I long for its secrets."
- "Always take their fingers before you pluck out their eyes."
- "The key is to pose the bones properly, so they accept the animus."
- "So hungry. The flesh colossus won't mind if I take a slice. Will it?"
- "The White-Gold Tower? Not that impressive."
- "The great chains must hold."
- "The city belongs to the Cult of the Black Worm, above and below."
- "That Xivkyn just keeps looking at me. I feel like a mouse under the gaze of a housecat."
- "Kill them all, I say. Let the necromancers have the bodies."
- "We're not keeping the Legion after it's done, are we? Maybe as slaves."
- "Mournhold's sewers are far more sanitary."
- "The fools think we don't know about their sewer base. They'll learn soon enough."
- "Preserve the corpse, but not too much. A little rot goes a long way."
- "Raising a dog from the dead? Is she a savage?"
- "I sliced him in half. He stood there and blinked twice before he fell."
- "The city reeks like a rotten wamasu."
- "Someone bring me a legionnaire. I want to set it on fire."
- "Fear kills, much to my amusement."
- "I'll have them soiling themselves before you rub the sleep from your eyes."
- "That atronach's flesh was sewn poorly. A master's touch is needed."
- "Food is not my concern. I expect you to provide it."
- "If I see her again, I'll freeze her solid."
- "He ascended into Coldharbour via a Dark Anchor. Lucky bastard."
- "None think they'll break. Not at first."
- "One day I'll make it to Coldharbour."
- "Priests die the same as any other. Where are the Eight now, eh?"
The Worm Cultists at the Unfinished Dolmen in Wrothgar also have commentary.
- "Molag Bal cannot be stopped!"
- "Molag Bal will reward me for this. More bones! We attack tomorrow morning!"
- "Molag Bal will be pleased that we continue his work!"
- "He shall be reborn. We dedicate this anchor to him!"
- "Spill the blood of the innocent! Desecrate the stones!"
- "He shall burn this land with a cold flame! None shall survive!"
- "Finish the anchor! All others in this land were destroyed."
- "How long have we been working on this dolmen?"
- "None will stop us from building the dolmen!"
- "Don't interfere! This is mine and mine alone!"
- "Molag Bal will send a champion, I'm sure of it."
