The Missing Cohort

If you have started Paths of Chaos from Leramil the Wise, the Rustwall Estate will be one of the locations she asks you to investigate. Once there, you will assist Tribune Alea Idolus in finding out what has happened to the missing Rustwall staff and legion cohort assigned to guard the area. You eventually learn that the cohort forces were slowly whittled down, and the survivors had taken refuge within the Rustwall Catacombs.

Inside the catacombs, you will find members of the Recollection and the Shardborn, soon Tribune Alea will notice something on the level below you:

Tribune Alea Idolus: "Look, down there!"

<Tribune Alea heads over to the railing.>

Recollection Commander Erorath: "Still no sign of the escaped legionary, shardmarshal."

Shardmarshal Vargas: "No matter, mortal. More of our forces will come through soon."

Recollection Commander Erorath: "As you say, Shardmarshal Vargas. We have more than enough weapons now."

<Shardmarshal Vargas walks away and jumps down a hole.>

Tribune Alea Idolus: "That Wood Elf, he's with the Recollection. And he's taking orders from a Dremora? What's going on here?"

From a survivor you find, you learn there is an attack planned on Skingrad and that there is a Daedric portal on the lower level which is bringing in Daedric forces. Upon reaching the chamber containing the portal:

Tribune Alea Idolus: "The portal! Destroy the anchors, comrade!"

Shardmarshal Vargas: "Defend the anchors! Maintain the portal!"

<Marcorlaz of Mirrormoor is summoned to defend the anchors.>

Upon breaking reaching an anchor, Shardmarshal Vargas will cry out:

<First anchor shattered.>

Shardmarshal Vargas: "The anchors! Stop them!"

<Second anchor shattered.>

Shardmarshal Vargas: "Damn these mortals! Retreat!"

<Shardmarshal Vargas creates her own portal and leaves.>

Seeds of Suspicion

You encounter Shardmarshall Vargas in the throne room of Hoperoot, where she leaves the Staff of Many Paths of King Nantharion. Vargas notices you and you fight Greenspeaker Sorilen while Nantharion and Vargas perform the ritual to prepare the Wildburn Seed.

Shardmarshal Vargas: "I leave the Staff of Many Paths in your care, Nantharion. Use it well—bah! Your tree has pests!"

King Nantharion: "Greenspeaker Sorilen, deal with the intruders! They must not interfere with the ritual!"

King Nantharion: "Vargas, help me prepare the seed!"

You defeat Sorilen and destroy the Wildburn Seed, releasing a wave of energy that knocks Nantharion and Vargas down:

Shardmarshal Vargas: "No! The ritual is not complete!"

King Nantharion: "Something's wrong! It's too soon! The wildburn seed released its energy too early! Run!"

Vargas and Nantharion run away as Hoperoot shakes, covered in a dark miasma.

The Many Paths

While exploring the first alternate reality alongside Ithelia, you encounter alternate versions of Shardmarshal Vargas, Torvesard and that reality's Ithelia:

Torvesard "The enemy approaches! They come to imprison my Prince."

Ithelia: "No, Torvesard. They are … different. Approach, pathwalker, and speak with me."

You can speak to the alternate Torvesard and Shardmarshal Vargas, who will comment on your presence and that of your reality's Ithelia in their own world:

"Why does my Prince allow this mortal to speak with her? Hermaeus Mora and the other betrayers approach. We have no time to waste with mortal nonsense.

Where I come from, you and I are enemies.

"You are my enemy yet you still live? Perhaps there is more to you than I thought, mortal. Or, more likely, the Vargas of your path is a coward who runs from battles.
Either way, should you start a fight here, I will end you quickly."

Hold the Line

In the armory of the Feldagard Keep's barracks, you encounter the commander of the Daedric siege, Shardmarshal Vargas, who is using Abolisher to create a portal for her forces to enter the keep through.

Shardmarshal Vargas: "Go. Take your forces and capture the keep. I will gather reinforcements in Mirrormoor."

Shardborn Bulwark: "As you command, Shardmarshal Vargas."

You make your way across the side path. Vargas opens a portal with Abolisher, Alea leaps down and tackles her in, urging you to follow:

Tribune Alea Idolus: "She opened a portal! I'm leaping down!"

Tribune Alea Idolus: "I'll tackle her in. Follow us!"

Shardmarshal Vargas: "An attack? You dare!"

You enter the portal to find yourself in Mirrormoor. Alea is trying to take Abolisher from Vargas:

Tribune Alea Idolus: "Give me that blade, Vargas."

Shardmarshal Vargas: "Take Abolisher if you can mortal! Ah! No!"

Vargas kicks Alead down, having lost Abolisher. Shardborn forces appear out of portals to retrieve the blade:

Shardmarshal Vargas: "Kill them, my Shardborn! Recover Abolisher!"

As you fight and more foes appear, Vargas will comment.

Shardmarshal Vargas: "The Shardborn are endless, mortal!"

Shardmarshal Vargas: "More! I need more warriors!"

Upon defeating all the Daedra:

Tribune Alea Idolus: "She called the blade Abolisher. It's all yours, comrade."

Shardmarshal Vargas: "Abolisher will be mine again, mortals! We shall definitely meet again!"

Vargas opens a portal and disappears. You open a portal back to Feldagard Keep using Abolisher.
