Telaendril

[Lucien Lachance]

Telaendril is a Bosmer member of the Dark Brotherhood, living at their Sanctuary in Cheydinhal.

She was originally a target of the Brotherhood, hired by her father for reasons she does not care to discuss. But she escaped the assassin (Lucien Lachance) and killed her father instead, after which she was offered membership in the guild. Depending on whether she likes you, she will either taunt you or offer advice on your current contract.

She is one of the few members of the Brotherhood who can often be seen outside the Sanctuary. She visits the Cheydinhal Bridge Inn every Tirdas, wanders near the well behind the Cheydinhal Mages Guild on Turdas, and goes to Leyawiin every weekend. A Note found on Ocheeva reveals that she is following Ocheeva's instructions. These trips will not start, however, until after you have joined the Dark Brotherhood and entered the sanctuary for the first time. She will refuse to talk to you much outside.

She seems to be romantically, or at least sexually, involved with her Orc colleague, Gogron gro-Bolmog.

After you kill her in the Purification, her body will not disappear, due to its status as a quest item.

Unique Dialogue

When you first enter the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, you can overhear the following conversation between Telaendril and Gogron gro-Bolmog:

Gogron: But why, Sister? What is the point? Why should anyone bother with all that sneaking and skulking?

Telaendril: My dear Gogron, you are a life-taker for the Dark Brotherhood! Our very existence relies on shadow and deception. Do you not value our secrets?

Gogron: Yes, yes, of course I value our secrets, and I have never betrayed them! But using stealth to kill.... It's just so... weak

Telaendril: But Brother, what of the contracts that require subtlety! You must at least strive to earn the bonuses that are offered?
Gogron: Bonuses? Ha ha ha ha ha! Useless, I say! Gold and magical trinkets are no substitute for the freedom to slaughter anyone I please, at any time!

Telaendril: Oh, Gogron! He he he he. Your methods may be crude, but your heart is always in the right place.



Telaendril's Ocheeva Note

In Ocheeva's inventory, you will find Telaendril's Ocheeva Note, which is evidently a note from Telaendril to Ocheeva about her current assignment:

Most Honorable Ocheeva,
As per your instructions, I will, from this day forward, leave the solitude of the Sanctuary and maintain the following posts:
Loredas and Sundas -- I will travel to, and remain in, the city of Leyawiin. There I will spy any and all vessels entering into the Imperial Province by sea. Upon my return to the Sanctuary, I will report on which ships have sailed the Niben northward to the Imperial City.
Tirdas -- I am to spend my day here in Cheydinhal, in the establishment known as the Cheydinhal Bridge Inn. There I will spy the citizens of this city, and report back on anyone I deem a threat to Sanctuary security.
Turdas -- I will remain in Cheydinhal, but keep a watchful eye on the Sanctuary entrance.* At the first sign of suspicious activity, I am to report back to you immediately.
My thanks again to you, Ocheeva. Your reliance on my gift for subterfuge will serve the Brotherhood well. Of this I promise.
May we walk always in the Shadow of Sithis. --Telaendril

* Although this note claims that on Turdas Telaendril will keep an eye on the Sanctuary entrance, her AI instructions instead tell her to wander near the entrance to the Cheydinhal Mages Guild well, on the other side of town, perhaps because of a developer mix-up.
