"The research into Tonal magic would make sense, but having a master trying to find out why metal doesn't rust is infuriating. Does that college not understand what is important when you are a school to teach people magic, they should be focused on just that, magic."
Brian
"I don't think they like me very much... When I do teach, students struggle to understand because of the nature of the field of magic. So they send me on little pet projects to get me out of their hair. But, it worked out, I found a book I needed for my own research."
Kevin
"At least you made progress on your own research while on this wild goose chase they sent you on, I suppose theirs no way I could offer my help is their?"
Brian
*She removed a large book from her satchel. The book was gold on one side, grayish blue on the other. On the front, "36 Lessons of Vivec, a Compilation-Anonymous."*
"Something like this is impossible to find outside of Morrowind, thank God's I found it. All in their original form, with Sermon 37."
*She put it back in the bag.*
"Though it's probably not important to you. I don't think you can do much to help unless you already know the answer to my problem."
Kevin
"What exactly is it you are researching, if you don't mind me asking."*Latkir says with a curious tone wondering what she is using the lessons of Vivec for research purposes.*
Brian
"I'm probably flying too close to the sun. The Secret which was bitten from Molag Bal. Omnipotence. To Sleep, yet be awake."
*She sighed.*
"Oh but something silly will probably happen in my endeavors that will destroy the world or something. It's best to be cautious with such a thing."
Kevin
"With a goal as such yes it is likely good to be very cautious, I do not believe I can help but I wish you nothing but good luck for the challenge. Many have tried and failed on the same goal."
Brian
"It is what any dunmer should do. To overcome the world. To break the shackles of Mortality. I'm torn between just... Living a quiet life... Or making something of myself. I haven't done much in these 100 years..."
Kevin
"Why not take the easiest route and become a vampire if that's the case. It's the easiest and fastest way without risking the destruction of the world if that is so the case as you stated."
Brian
"And give my soul to Molag Bal? No. The tribunal were not Aedra, or Daedra. They were God's in their own right, they were above almost everything, and they were tangible."
Kevin
"And your goal is to achieve as much as they did? It's definitely something worthy of the effort. To achieve as much as they did would be an amazing feat if you don't accidentally tear the world apart, or much more likely tear your own soul to shreds."
Brian
"We all die. From what I hear, the afterlife waiting for me likely isn't as interesting as making the effort's i can while im here. *AE GHARTOK PADHOME CHIM AE ALTADOON*, I take no issue wandering into the den of Padomay."
Kevin
"I suppose that is a good and advantageous outlook on life in most situations. Instead of fearing death use it as a motivation."
Brian
"Yes, though, what you suggested is far more likely. Perhap's I'll just... Disappear. As if i never existed. Rumours say it's happened to a few."
Kevin
"Possibly look to your goose chase. An entire species gone their ruins and machines the only trace of them. Perhaps that's what the Dwemer were attempting when they disappeared off the face of nirn, and I apologize but they also likely had better tools to use to their advantage and still perished or whatever happened to them."
Brian
"Perhaps they didn't perish. Though i like to think they did... They were fools for rejecting the divines they had evidence of. They refused their aid."
Kevin
"Perhaps it was the gods who erased them. Everyone knows they wanted to rival the gods maybe they came close and the divines had decided that their time was coming to an end. Do you not fear that this could possibly happen to you if you attempted, although that would leave the question of how the tribunal were able to do it with no immediate repercussions."
Brian
"Everything will come to Padomay, Sithis, at some point. Even if I make a little bit of effort on my research, to just come a little closer than others did, I'd be satisfied."
*She took a long sip of wine.*
"Though i want to get out of this dreadful city, the corruption runs deep through the ancient brass pipes..."
Kevin
"The Dwemer were nothing but corrupt you can't expect much more out of a city built by them. I've somewhat gotten use to this city, though you can never get fully use to the place in my opinion."
