High Councilor Meriath

High Councilor Meriath is a Dark Elf and the supreme leader of House Redoran. She appears at the Redoran Garrison during the quest Family Reunion.

Meriath offers to pretend that Veya Releth died protecting the Redoran council from Ferhara's Warclaws in exchange for both House Redoran and the Morag Tong's actions being covered up.

Quest-Related Dialogue[edit]

In your attempts to stop Veya from her plan, you'll hear the councilor at various times. Inside the meeting hall you'll hear:

High Councilor Meriath: "Everyone calm down! Councilor Eris will deal with this. We're safe in here. There's no need to panic."
Councilor Dalarn: "No need to panic? She's cut down every mercenary in her way! Her father won't be able to stop her."

Once you've put Veya down, she'll enter and say:

High Councilor Meriath: "So much bloodshed. So much needless death. If only Eris would have listened."
High Councilor Meriath: "Outlander, we should speak. I think we can help one another."

Then you'll speak to her:

"The Morag Tong agent... she cares deeply for Veya, doesn't she?
It takes great courage to go against your heart and do what you know is best. You both did that by protecting the council. For that, you have my thanks."
What did you mean when you said we could help each other?
"A series of regrettable decisions led to this family tragedy, and most of them were made by Eris Releth.
I knew of Ulran's compassion concerning the Ashlanders. It was unorthodox, but not worthy of the punishment meted out. Eris was wrong."
I thought the entire council was involved.
"Eris convinced Brivan to test Ulran. Then the two of them decided to slaughter the Ashlanders. Oh, the council allowed itself to be convinced that exile was an appropriate punishment, but we were wrong to let it go as far as it did."
House Redoran doesn't want the Ashlander territory?
"I didn't say that. But we're not butchers. We do not hire mercenary thugs to wipe out an entire people.
This gathering was to deal with that. Eris planned to step down and we were going to demote Brivan for the part he played."
So what happens next?
"House Redoran behaved poorly. Morag Tong rules were violated. I suggest we make sure these details never see the light of day.
Leave the bodies where they are. We will say that Veya died protecting her father and the council from the Warclaws."
And what do we have to do in exchange?
"Cooperate with House Redoran and hold your tongues. It's as simple as that. I shall return to the council meeting and conclude our business. When we're finished, I expect you and Naryu to both be gone.
That is all, outlander."

Meriath will return to the council.
