A Son's Promise

He complains about holding open his portal when you approach, he'll either say:

"One moment, I'm trying to concentrate."

Speak with him.

"I hope you're not here to attack me. If I die before I stabilize this portal, you'll be trapped here.
Since killing me is off the table, I could use some help."

What kind of help?

"My father, Rulantaril, is missing. He disappeared from his workshop in Davon's Watch.
I think his disappearance has some connection to this place. I want to know what, and then find him if I can."

What do you know about his disappearance?

"He was there one day and gone the next. His notes call this place "Crow's Wood." It's the only clue I have.
I thought I saw an old house up the trail. Could you take a look? I need to stabilize this portal."

I'll check out the house.

You can ask him further questions about the place:

"I must concentrate, or the portal will close. Excuse me."

What is this place?

"We're in a pocket of Oblivion. Everything you see is crafted from illusion and metaphor.
Even the grass beneath your feet is just a memory of grass. Your mind is struggling to make sense of the chaos around us."

A pocket of Oblivion?

"Technically, the Crow's Wood is part of Evergloam, one of the realms of Oblivion. It is the realm of perpetual twilight, ruled by the Daedric Prince Nocturnal."

You seem to know a lot about Oblivion.

"I've spent most of my life studying Oblivion and the various methods of fighting Daedric threats.
The Tribunal is wary of Daedra, and with good reason. Nothing good ever comes from Oblivion."

Why was the portal that brought me here disguised as a chest?

"Perhaps I didn't think it through. I was hoping it would prevent random passersby from entering the portal. I suppose I should have disguised it as something less…intriguing.
Well, live and learn. Since you're here, I could use some assistance."

After speaking to him, he will continue to concentrate on holding the portal:

Telbaril Oran: "Blasted portal magic. So temperamental."

After finding the Charred Notes, he appears at the cottage.

Telbaril Oran: "There you are. What did you find out?"

Speak with him.

"Chilling. Look at this place. It was deliberately set on fire."

You might want to take a look at these notes.

"Interesting. Why was my father here? And who is this witch he mentioned?"

Tell me what you want to do now.

"I stabilized the portal, but it's not going to stay that way. I need to attend to it.
Would you go to the court my father mentioned? Maybe someone there knows of his fate."

I'll find the Blackfeather Court.

Speaking to him again:

"Good luck at the court. I'm going to poke around a bit more, then head back to the portal."

Forcing Rulantaril to Stay

If you decided to force his father to stay with Crow Mother:

"You're back. Did you find my father?"

Your father's in the tower with the Daedra Lord. It's a long story.

"He's alive though. Ayem bless you, my friend. I'll get things squared away here and make my way to the tower.
I can't believe my fortune running into you here. Thank you for your help."

After that outcome, he'll say:

"Father is going to have a hard time explaining this."

Saving Rulantaril

If you saved his father:

"Welcome, my friend. We were just talking about you."

I see your father found you.

"Yes, he did, and he told me a most peculiar tale.
I owe you for getting him out of this mess. Take these coins. It's the least I can do."

After completing the quest:

"We're going to Oblivion to deal with an insane Daedric lord [sic].

Not the best way for a father and son to bond, is it?"

Killing Rulantaril

If you killed his father:

"You've returned. What did you learn?"

Your father's dead, and the Daedra Lord's banished. It was a sordid task, but it had to be done.

"My father's dead? Vivec's wrath, what in Oblivion happened? Those notes you found... what was my father doing in this place?

Please, leave me. I need to think."

After the quest:

"I hope I come to understand why you did ... what you did."
