Salyn Sarethi

Salyn Sarethi is a Dark Elf buoyant armiger. He claims that the Imperial Legion has no courtesy. He is also the rightful owner of Enamor, a blade that was given to him by Vivec. He can be found on the lower level of the Tower of Dusk at Ghostgate.

Sarethi wears a glass cuirass with matching pauldrons, greaves, boots, and shield along with an expensive shirt with matching pants. He carries a glass jinkblade and a pair of expensive shoes. Aside from his natural resistance to fire and the sanctuary provided by his ancestors, he can cast the spells Daedric Bite, Lightning Storm, Lightning Bolt, Temptation, and Wild Torpor.

Courtesy

His dialogue here references The Red Book of Riddles.

courtesy

"Yes, I said that the Legion has no courtesy, wit, poetry, or honor. I will concede that you have wit and poetry if you can win a contest of riddles."

riddle

"I will ask of you a riddle and you must give the answer as a rhyme. Are you ready?"

I am ready

"It has a tail, a side, and a head
I call it what I call a snake
It has no body, and it is dead..."

Uh... wait a minute... let me think...

"You have lost the challenge. Go tell your commander that the Legions have no courtesy."

I'm not ready for this.

"Come back when you are ready to meet my challenge."

It must be a drake.

"Very good. Now for the next riddle:
Poets know the hearts of Men and Mer
But beasts can't know my heart, you see
This book was written by a bear..."

Uh... I don't know

"You have lost the challenge. Go tell your commander that the Legions have no courtesy."

Then it's not a book of poetry.

"You are doing better than I expected. But the next riddle is harder still:
I gave you a sock, not unlike a box
With hammers and nails all around it
Two lids open when it knocks..."

Uh... A sock? I don't get it.

"You have lost the challenge. Go tell your commander that the Legions have no courtesy."

It must have been a great hit.

"Well. You have proven to me that you have wit and poetry. Perhaps the Legion has courtesy after all."

Enamor

Before the blade is returned:

"Yes, it was stolen. I did not know anyone else knew. It was a priceless blade, a gift from Vivec himself. I was ashamed to report it."

After the blade is returned:

"I found the blade with a note from the Bal Molagmer which said the sword was stolen by mistake. I have no love for thieves, but perhaps these new Bal Molagmer are like the Bal Molagmer of the old poems. Honorable thieves, worthy of respect. Only time will tell."

Notes

• Salyn Sarethi belongs to the Sarethi family, which has their own ancestral tomb.
  • They also hold a seat on House Redoran's council and have a manor in the Manor District in Ald'rhun.
• Apparently, Salyn Sarethi is a somewhat famous poet. When asked about Enamor, Allding (the thief who originally stole the dagger) says: "I didn't know Gentleman Jim was such a big fan of Dunmer poetry. He chewed me out for an hour and even recited some of Salyn Sarethi's poems."
• Salyn Sarethi also appears in the Houses of Morrowind card expansion for Legends as the card Enamor's Keeper.
