Quest-Related Events

If you speak to him prior to starting the quest, he says:

"I'm sorry, I'm retired."

If you have the amulet, he'll say:

"If you are looking for custom jewelry, you should know I'm retired."

Did you make this amulet?

"My amulet! Tell me, did it do its work? Did the Argonian suffer?"

What Argonian?

"The brigand who killed my son! It took all my resources to make that amulet and track him down.
You see, I am not a strong or violent man, but I do know my craft. That amulet is my masterpiece."

How does it work?

"It magnifies the guilt of taking a life, slowly overwhelming the wearer with grief until he takes his own life. It's a little bit of poetry, if I do say so myself.
Although it's been so long, I was beginning to doubt it worked."

I didn't find it on an Argonian.

"What? That can't be! You're lying. The Argonian sent you, didn't he? He's not dead at all, is he?"

I found this journal near the amulet.

"This … this isn't right. This person obviously did not deserve to die. What have I done?
Give me the amulet. I made it impossible to give away, but I created it, so you should be able to give it to me."

Here, take it.

After giving him the amulet, you will decide his fate:

"I thank you for bringing me closure on my son's killer. I know what I have to do now."

What do you mean?

"It's my turn to wear the amulet now. If anyone is guilty, if anyone deserves it, it's me."

Why would you do that?

"I created this abominable object. It's only fitting that I am destroyed by it. It's justice."

Someone else could pick it up. You should destroy it. [Rondrin lives]

"Oh, Gods. How was I so blind? My revenge only brought more pain into the world. I guess death is a poor substitute for justice, after all.
You're right. I must end this diseased cycle. I must destroy the amulet."

All right.

If that's what you want. / You're right. Keep the amulet. [Rondrin dies]

"Now it is time for you to leave and for me to reap what I've sown. I was a successful jeweler in my day—take this for your troubles and go on with your life."

If you convinced Rondrin to destroy the amulet, he'll go over to his worktable and pound on the object with a hammer. Once done, he'll exclaim:

Rondrin : "Never again!"

Speak to him and he'll tell you:

"It is done. No one shall ever suffer at the hands of this accursed creation again."

Are you going to be all right?

"No one else should suffer my folly. Thank you, and please take this for your troubles."

If you haven't turn in the quest and decided to let him he kill himself with the amulet, he will alternatively say:

I deserve to suffer. All those lives ruined because of my petty need for vengeance. I deserve worse. Leave me be."

All right. (Leads to quest completion dialogue)

After the quest, if you destroyed the amulet:

"You have shown me more kindess [sic] than I deserve. I shall spend my remaining days attempting to atone and truly honor my son's memory."
