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."
