  Summary

  “I am Shadowhand Essek Thelyss. You have the honor of being a guest of the Dungeon of Penance. You may not enjoy your stay but I assure you that no serious harm will come to you or your companions as long as you willingly and truthfully answer a few questions. Your friend, Nott, was rather talkative and I'm sure you'll corroborate what she shared."

  Caleb Widogast is less persuasive in the throne room and first meets Essek Thelyss under different circumstances.
