Choose the Sacrifice, one of the quest tasks in God of Schemes

"Choose the Sacrifice" is a quest objective/task in the quest God of Schemes in The Elder Scrolls Online

Background[edit]

We've made it the point where I must choose who to sacrifice to the Amulet of Kings. I will talk to everyone in turn.

Quest[edit]

God of Schemes

Location[edit]

Heart's Grief - Coldharbour (Oblivion)

Walkthrough[edit]

You need to talk with Varen Aquilarios, Lyris Titanborn and Sai Sahan in turn. They all have something to say about this pending choice. Listen to each of them and then you will need to make your choice. Who is chosen here will determine the reward you receive at the end of the mission.

Dialogue - Varen Aquilaros[edit]

Introduction[edit]

Remember Vestige, we fight for our people. We fight for Tamriel. Evil might be kept at bay for a time, but it can never be completely eradicated. What is important is that we resist it; that we fight on and keep fighting.

What did the Elder Scrolls say about this moment?[edit]

Very little. The Scrolls can see many things - even possible futures - but they are not infallible, and they will not make this choice for you.

You cannot cross the sea by standing and considering the way. Be strong, Vestige, and act.

What if I make the wrong choice?[edit]

There is no such thing as a safe choice. There are only other choices.

Oblivion did not make me a monster, it just confirmed by worst fears about myself. it would be fitting, and honorable, if you were to choose me. It would be a fine death.

Very well. I choose you, Varen.[edit]

Chooses Varen and ends conversation.

I need more time to decide.[edit]

Ends Conversation.

Dialogue - Lyris Titanborn[edit]

Introduction[edit]

We've had some crazy adventures, haven't we? But adventures are what you call them when everybody comes back alive, so maybe they've come to an end.

I don't regret any of it, though. Not for a moment.

Nor do I.[edit]

My father once told me that the most important thing anyone can know is what they would die for. I know that now.

You're young. You still have a long life ahead of you.[edit]

I feel like I've already lived a dozen lifetimes. I'm so tired. I look forward to seeing my parents again, in Sovngarde.

If my death has meaning, then so will my life. It would be my great honor if you would choose me.

Very well. I choose you, Lyris.[edit]

Chooses Lyris, ends conversation

I need more time to decide.[edit]

Ends conversation.

Dialogue - Sai Sahan[edit]

Introduction[edit]

I see that look in your eye, Vestiges, and I wonder - am I to be the one? know that I would consider it a great honor. it would be a fine death.

You sound very confident.[edit]

When you live each day as it were your last, as I have, eventually you will be right.

I was born to die a hero's death. I have always known this, and I have always been prepared for it.

Do you really want me to choose you?[edit]

I once swore to protect my Emperor, and failed. I cannot allow him to sacrifice his life in my place. Nor can I ask this of Lyris, my Snow Lily. She is more important to me than she will ever know.

Please. Give me this honor.

Very well. I choose you, Sai Sahan.[edit]

Chooses Sai, ends conversation

I need more time to decide.[edit]

Ends conversation.
