Hjortyn Silver-Tongue, the Empire's Minister of House Redoran Affairs in Morrowind

Hjortyn Silver-Tongue is a Nord scribe who is the Empire's appointed Minister of House Redoran Affairs. Her office is in the west wing of the Curia, in Old Ebonheart's Ebon Tower. At the time of your arrival she is caught between two opposing arguments over the territory of Uld Vraech, settled by Nords, but claimed by House Redoran. Svarti Two-Knives represents the Nord viewpoint, and can be found in a nearby room, while Maalna Balur represents Great House Redoran.

She wears an extravagant shirt with matching pants and shoes.

Aside from her natural resistance to shock, immunity to frost, ability to shield herself, and a natural frost damage spell, she knows the following spells: Variable Resist Common Disease, Variable Resist Fire, Variable Resist Frost, Variable Resist Magicka, and Vitality.

Dialogue

• Greeting:

"How are you? Is there something I can help you with? Some questions about House Redoran, perhaps?"

• Background:

"I am %Name, Minister of House Redoran Affairs. Though I am a scholar, not a warrior, there are few non-Dunmer who know more about House Redoran than I."

• my trade:

"As a Nord, my people have existed in close proximity to the Redoran for thousands of years. Yes, we don't always get along, and tempers can flare from time to time, but Redoran respond well to respect and honorable conduct."

• Uld Vraech:

"The question of Uld Vraech is a delicate one and I don't trust you enough to discuss it in detail."

(If Disposition ≥ 75 or your Speechcraft ≥ 50):

"Uld Vraech is located in northwestern Morrowind and is a source of much grief. Both the Dark Elves and the Nords have a legitimate claim over the region. The Dark Elves of Redoran often argue that they have the historical right to the land. Indeed, their ancestors have been in this province since the Mythic Era. The Nords, on the other hand, would argue that theirs is the right of conquest. Their ancestors fought for the land and succeeded. In the eyes of the law both viewpoints are valid, no?"

• I side with House Redoran. / I side with the Nords. / Both sides do have a point. / I don't pick sides.:

"There is, however, a third viewpoint to the issue which takes the precedence. That of the Empire. Regardless of whom you support, the Nords or the Redoran, both parties are still Imperial subjects. It is within the interest of us all that the Empire remain unfractured. Sudden annexation of Uld Vraech into the Skyrim province or the expulsion of the Nord populace would both be unnecessarily disruptive to the Emperor's peace. For the common good small injustices must sometimes be endured."

• I agree. / I'm not sure if I agree. / That doesn't solve anything!:

"Of course the Empire doesn't just stand idly by. I try my best to act as a mediator between House Redoran and the Nords, but... you've met the representatives they've sent, haven't you? Svarti Two-Knives and Maalna Balur. Both of them are quite adamant that their people are being wronged and both accuse me of playing favorites. But at least for now they've made a truce, even if it's a fragile one."
