Dialogue
(player): Why shouldn't they trust you?
Dov wahlaan fah rel. We were made to dominate. The will to power is in our blood. You feel it in yourself, do you not?
I can be trusted. I know this. But they do not. Onikaan ni ov dovah. It is always wise to mistrust a dovah.
I have overcome my nature only through meditation and long study of the Way of the Voice.
No day goes by where I am not tempted to return to my inborn nature. Zin krif horvut se suleyk.
What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?
(player): The Blades say you deserve to die.
The Blades are wise not to trust me. Onikaan ni ov. I would not trust another dovah.

(player): I need to learn the Dragonrend Shout. Can you teach me?
Drem. Patience. There are formalities which must be observed, at the first meeting of two of the dov.
(player): I think you already know who I am.
Yes. Vahzah. You speak true, Dovahkiin. Forgive me.
It has been long since I held tinvaak with a stranger. I gave in to the temptation to prolong our speech.

(player): The Lorekeeper at the College of Winterhold might know.
Trust your instincts, Dovahkiin. Your blood will show you the way.
(player): Hmm. Esbern or Arngeir might have some idea.

(player): Do you know where I can find an Elder Scroll?
Krosis. No. I know little of what has passed below in the long years I have lived here.
You are likely better informed than I.

(player): You mean you were there?
Yes. There were a few of us that rebelled against Alduin's thur... his tyranny. We aided the humans in his overthrow.
But they did not trust us. Ni ov. Their inner councils were kept hidden from us.
I was far from here on the day of Alduin's downfall. But all dov felt the... sundering of Time itself.
(player): How could an Elder Scroll cast Alduin through time?
Vomindok. I do not know. Perhaps in the very doing they erased the knowing of it from Time itself.
The dov are children of Akatosh. Thus we are specially... attuned to the flow of Time. Perhaps also uniquely vulnerable.
I warned them against such a rash action. Even I could not foresee its consequences. Nust ni hon. They would not listen.

(player): How does any of this help me?
Tiid krent. Time was... shattered here because of what the ancient Nords did to Alduin.
If you brought that Kel, that Elder Scroll back here... to the Tiid-Ahraan, the Time-Wound...
With the Elder Scroll that was used to break Time, you may be able to... cast yourself back. To the other end of the break.
You could learn Dragonrend from those who created it.

(player): I have the Elder Scroll.
You have it. The Kel - the Elder Scroll. Tiid kreh... qalos. Time shudders at its touch.
There is no question. You are doom-driven. Kogaan Akatosh. The very bones of the earth are at your disposal.
Go then. Fulfill your destiny. Take the Scroll to the Time-Wound.
Do not delay. Alduin will be coming. He cannot miss the signs.
(player): I have the Elder Scroll.
Do not delay. Alduin must feel the tremors in Time by the Scroll's presence here. He will know what it means.
