Arnitole

Arnitole is a Breton mage found in the ruins of Silaseli. His experiments with an Ayleid relic located there have led to his emotions gaining a life of their own and running off. When his hired bodyguard tried to move them, he turned himself into iron.

Dialogue[edit]

If you meet him when you don't have the related quest active:

"You know, you'd think being made of iron would be unpleasant, but it's actually rather relaxing.
Or maybe that's just because I have no emotions."

Conflicted Emotions[edit]

Arnitole – Emotions Restored

After you have spoken with a frustrated Zaag, you can ask Arnitole what he has done to himself.

"Hello there. I suggest you don't try to pick me up. You'll only injure your back.
Don't ask for any long-winded explanations either. It's tiring to talk when you're made of iron."
Why did you turn yourself into iron?
"No choice. That brute was going to forcibly remove me from the ruins, and I can't leave yet.
I have to get my emotions back under control first."
You don't seem that emotional to me.
"Precisely. My emotions are gone—Fear, Anger, Happiness, Sadness—they got away from me, in the literal sense.
It's this Ayleid relic here. It's a gateway into the Silaseli dreamstate, but by the time I realized it, my emotions were already gone."
Is there some way I can get your emotions back?
"Yes. You could go into the dreamstate and convince them to come back.
You'll have to upset them though, drive them to experience their counterbalanced state. Anger to Fear, Happiness to Sadness, that sort of thing."
I'll give it my best.

Once you have entered the dreamstate, found his emotions and restored them back to him, Arnitole will be himself again.

"Hm. For some reason, looking at you makes me want to vomit. My emotions just feel like they're going to burst out and run away again.
Overall though, I am feeling a little lighter on my feet."
So you have all your emotions back?
"I think so. I won't know for sure until I get home to my wife. Come to think about it, she's very similar to this Ayleid relic—she's old and strange and brings out all my emotions.
Regardless though, I'm ready to go whenever your friend is."

Speaking to him again before Zaag:

"Look who's keeping everyone waiting now."

After you have spoken with Zaag, Arnitole will ponder the likelihood of getting a discount.

"You can have the relic if you want it. Needless to say, I won't be taking it with me. That should get me a discount from Dragonstar Caravans, shouldn't it?"
