Quest-Related Events

Arrianus joins your defense of the southern door after the first wave of Daedra is defeated.

Arrianus Capius: "Fear not. Arkay will protect us, so long as we smite his enemies, these foul Daedra."

Captain Caudex: "Keep Fighting [sic]!"

After the second wave of enemies goes down, Justianas Gratus comes outside to assist you as well, standing on the scaffolding above the southern door. He fires off spells at the Daedra while you and Arrianus are on the ground.

Justianas Gratus: "Fear not, brother Arrianus! I'm here! These Daedra stand no chance!"

Arrianus Capius: "Of course you are, brother Justianas. Of course you are."

Dialogue

You can speak with him in the garrison.

"Lord Arkay, guide my mace, that I might smite your enemies. Guide my steps on the path of the righteous, then give me rest at last."

Praying to the Eight Divines?

"Praying? Yes, I suppose you could call it that. I'm praying for an end to this nightmare—the chance to finally put down my mace and leave this madness behind.
I don't expect my prayers will be answered. "

So you're just going to give up?

"No, I will never give up, as long as the enemies of Arkay stalk these streets. I will smash them, one by one, until I can fight no more.
I will not give up, but let's just say that after all I've seen, I'd welcome death's respite."

After discovering that he's immortal, you can ask him further questions.

"So you've discovered our dark secret. Be glad you are not among us. It is an unnatural burden—one that I carry with great anxiety."

Are you disturbed by your immortality?

"Disturbed? No. Resigned, I think.
I do not know what I did to displease Lord Arkay or earn this curse. All I can do is smite his enemies and hope that, some day, he releases me from it."

You consider being immortal a curse?

"Lord Arkay's dictates are clear. He does not tolerate necromancy, nor does he suffer the dead to rise. What am I now, if not a dead man risen? I have become what I despise.
Make no mistake, this is a curse. All I can do is fight … and pray."
