Quest-Related Events[edit]

Questions of Faith[edit]

"Well, look who it is! And right on time for a change, too."
Do you need something, Grazda?
"Not me. Kor asked that I send you to him in the Sanctuary if I happened to run into you.
Something about Hildegard. She hasn't returned to the Sanctuary and Kor is starting to worry."
I'll go talk to Kor in the Sanctuary.
"I hate to see Kor so out of sorts, but he does dote upon our little Hilde. Go talk to him and see if you can help out the big Nord."

A Special Request[edit]

"Have you seen the Naughty Nereid Players? They're performing in Anvil, apparently at the Pirate Queen's request. They're a little crass for my taste, but that Torolon is the elk's antlers!
Oh, and Matron Astara wants to see you in the Sanctuary."
Does Astara have another task for me?
"So I hear. A contract. Some kind of special request. The Matron asked for you specifically, so you better get a move on."
Why me?
"I was asking myself that very same question. Seriously, you're a natural at this. Even Elam says so, and he never compliments any of the initiates.
I bet you'll find out more if you stop asking me questions and get to the Sanctuary."
Right. I'll go and see Astara.
"Get moving, Initiate. The Matron has a task for you. She expects you at the Sanctuary."

Dark Revelations[edit]

"Ah, you just missed Mirabelle. She was heading back to the Sanctuary in such a hurry we barely had time to talk."
Why was Mirabelle in such a hurry?
"I think she was on her way back from a scouting mission. Something to do with Count Carolus of Kvatch, as far as I could ascertain.
Mirabelle mentioned she had to convince Astara and then she was off, heading in the direction of the Sanctuary."
Mirabelle was spying on the Count?
"Spying? Scouting? When you think about it, is there really any difference?
Oh, I almost forgot. Astara was asking about you. I'd return to the Sanctuary and see what the Matron wants if I were you."
I'll head to the Sanctuary and speak to Astara.
"The Sanctuary is that way, in case you've forgotten. I'd tell you that Astara was in a good mood the last time I talked to her, but truth is I can never really figure out what the Matron is thinking."

A Ghost from the Past[edit]

"Oh, Assassin, am I glad to see you! He's got one of those ideas in his head again and it has me worried sick about him."
Who, Grazda? Tell me what's got you so upset.
"It's Green-Venom-Tongue. Ever since he started digging into that journal you brought back, he's had that funny look in his eyes. You know the one. The one that means he's planning to do something foolhardy—and dangerous."
He was supposed to tell Astara and the Speaker what he discovered.
"Well, so far, he's kept whatever he's found completely to himself. I know that this is his business, but I can't help worrying about him.
Could you talk to him? He may not show it, but he respects you. Maybe he'll even let you help him with this."
I'll go to the Sanctuary and talk to Green-Venom-Tongue.
"Find Green-Venom-Tongue at the Sanctuary before he does something foolish. I think if he'll listen to anyone, he'll listen to you."

The Wrath of Sithis[edit]

"Well met, Assassin. I bring word from the Matron."
What does Astara want, Grazda?
"I don't know the details, but I understand she received word from the Black Hand. I'm sure it has something to do with whatever you and Green-Venom-Tongue have been up to.
What are you waiting for? Get to the Sanctuary and see what Astara wants."
I'll go to the Sanctuary and talk to Astara.
"The Black Hand has decreed that we move against the Black Dragon, Assassin. Finally.
Astara will tell you more when you return to the Sanctuary."

Filling the Void[edit]

When approached just prior to starting Filling the Void, she'll try to get your attention:

"Assassin, they need you at the Sanctuary."

If spoken to:

"There's something happening at the Sanctuary. That old crow, the Speaker, he asked for you specifically."
Any idea what's going on, Grazda?
"You killed the Black Dragon, right? My guess? It's time to murder the Primate of Akatosh."
What makes you think that?
"Everyone's getting ready for battle. Even Astara has left the Sanctuary. The only one still there is Speaker Terenus, and he asked that I send you to him as soon as I saw you.
Best not to keep the Speaker waiting."
I'll go see what Speaker Terenus wants.
"Better get moving, Assassin. And in case I don't see you again, it's been a pleasure and an honor to watch you work."

When encountered inside the Cathedral catacombs:

Grazda: "First one of you Order fanatics that moves gets an arrow in the eye!"
Captain Furia: "What are you waiting for? Get in there and kill those murdering deviants!"
Grazda: "Above us!"
Captain Furia: "You have meddled in our affairs for the last time, murderers!"
Grazda: "That one's trouble, Assassin. Prepare yourself for a real fight!"
Furia, now backed by more soldiers: "Brotherhood dogs, this ends now!"

After killing Furia:

Grazda, exhausted: "I could've handled those militant fools!... but I appreciate the help."
Elam Drals, entering: "I see I missed all the fun. Grazda, secure this chamber. Assassin, the Cathedral should be just up ahead. When you reach Artorius, I'll be right behind you."

When spoken to:

"Are you still here? Don't you have a high-ranking religious leader to murder?"
Why does Elam want you to wait here?
"You're going to need all of us to face down Artorius. Someone has to make sure the path remains open for the others.
Besides, the Speaker wants you to make this kill. If I got there first, Artorius would be dead before you could raise your blade."
If you say so ….
"Get moving, Assassin. I'm pretty sure Artorius isn't going to wait around while you dawdle. As soon as word gets to him that the Brotherhood is here, I expect he'll take off faster than a pig that wandered into a pork roast."

When spoken to after becoming a Silencer:

"Astara seems more relaxed now that we're back to the usual murder and mayhem, wouldn't you agree?"
"Perhaps the Speaker or Elam have something for you. It's entirely possible."
"The way you drove your blade home, that was a magnificent kill, Silencer. Artorius experienced the requisite amount of fear, anger, and pain just before you finished him off.
Good job!"
"Astara was looking for Kor, have you seen him? Something about cleaning up after Hildegard."

Dialogue[edit]

When spoken to at the wayshrine outside of quests:

"I see our family has grown. Good, good. But mind what you say. Our connection to the family is a closely guarded secret, and I prefer to keep it that way."

Conversations[edit]

You can also witness her conversations with other Dark Brotherhood members in the main hallway.

needs conversations from during the storyline

Grazda has trouble placing one of the new members.

Amelie Crowe: "I heard there was some trouble at the Sanctuary. What did I miss?"
Grazda: "Who are you?"
Amelie Crowe: "Amelie Crowe."
Grazda: "Are you new here?"
Amelie Crowe: "I was around since … you know, nevermind."
