Dialogue

• Voice: "Yes? What can I do for you? I am Captain Falx Carius, commander of Fort Frostmoth."

---

• Captain Carius: "I am Captain Falx Carius, commander of Fort Frostmoth."
• Castle Karstaag: "I have met the master of that place, though I hope never to meet him again."
• disturbing trends:
  • "To be sure. The men have been restless, complaining more than usual. They have been lackadaisical in the performance of their duties. I sense a great unease among them, and morale has been low."
  • "As I said, morale has been low."
• edgy:
  • [First response] "As I said, this is a difficult post. These soldiers are separated from their families and forced to live in harsh conditions. To be fair, most of these men were sent to this island as punishment for a past offense. They are not the best of soldiers. Yet. Still, until recently, they had performed their duties adequately. Lately, I have noticed some disturbing trends."
  • [Subsequent response] "They have been on edge. I worry about some of these disturbing trends."
• Fort Frostmoth: "We are an Imperial fort, obviously. My soldiers have the ability to be among the best in all the Empire. This island of Solstheim is not the easiest assignment, though, and sometimes it makes the men edgy.
• Greeting: "Yes? What can I do for you? I am Captain Falx Carius, commander of Fort Frostmoth."
• Mortrag Glacier: "I hope never to see the place again."
• morale has been low:
  • [First response] "Very low. This is not normal. My instinct tells me that there is one among my troops who is fanning the fires of this discontent, and I wish to know who it is. They will never let me know who the culprit is...as their commanding officer, I must regretfully keep some distance between these fine soldiers and myself. They may be willing to speak with you, though. See if you can't gain their trust. If you learn anything, report to me."
  • [Subsequent response] "As I said, it troubles me. I wish for these soldiers to be the most excellent in the Empire, and I believe that one among them is poisoning the minds of the others. Perhaps it is a reflection on my leadership that this has occurred, but regardless it must end soon."
• Rieklings: "I have heard of these creatures. Vicious and vile, they say. I hope not to meet them, but rest assured, if they ever disturb this fort, they will pay the price."
• Tharsten Heart-Fang: "I know him all too well. It sounds like the leader of these Skaal was a once-great man who fell to the allure of dark forces."
• Werewolves: "Terrible beasts, as I have come to learn. Though I thought they had been hunted to extinction, I see now that this is clearly not the case."

Notes

• Captain Carius survived the Hunt, and went on to become a general. He was later killed by the eruption of Red Mountain, after which he was revived by a necromancer.
• Captain Carius appears in the Dragonborn expansion for Skyrim, where his resurrected body is leading attacks against Raven Rock.
