“Why yes, I do admire the efforts of the Cyrodilic Collections to uncover our long buried history. For every treasure they uncover, I feel closer to home. However, I would kindly ask them that, should they find a Xanmeer that has been visibly sealed by the ancients, they avoid opening it. The Saxhleel of old were fearful yes, but the reasons were often justified.” – Vestige Axeel-Raj, after saving a group of archeologists from yet another long forgotten cursed artifact that drives people insane.

"Unfortunately, my favor with the great rulers of Tamriel ends the moment they find themselves within the same room. Our friendship, our shared deeds, the stories of the evils we faced and the people we saved, none of it matters when the Ruby Throne is the prize occupying their heart."

– Vestige Axeel-Raj, explaining why his efforts to end the Three Banners War proved  fruitless.

“We were supposed to part ways after the threat was gone, but I couldn’t bring myself to say goodbye to Raz yet. However, without the sense of urgency, awkwardness quickly settled as we traveled back to Skywatch. I hadn’t realized how lacking I am in all social aspects when the situation is not dire, for this reason I would not even call myself a friend of his. 

Luckily the cat understood my plight and we spent a nice evening together. I became rather fascinated by the grace of Altmeri dances…”

- Vestige Axeel-Raj, recounting in his diary the struggles of being an introverted hermit for most of his life.

“No, no, the Eye of the Queen and I are simply circumstantial allies, we merely often ended up having enemies in common. Working together on these numerous occasions allowed us to form trust, something that is seldom found in this continent. Yes, I’m aware that he’s flirty, but he flirts with anyone! There is absolutely nothing more going on between us.”

- Vestige Axeel-Raj, firmly denying any romantic bond between him and his traveling companion Razum-Dar.

“Despite our stark differences, the fine society of Alinor has been more than enough to quench that thirst for proper intellectual stimulation the ruined city of the Cyrodiils failed to give me. The Altmers know how to preserve, the only reproach I could formulate would be the poor attitude many of their academics had towards me.

Then again, I am not much better.” - Vestige Axeel-Raj, discussing the difficulty of navigating the intellectual circles of the Summerset Isles.

“After all the praise I heard of the Imperial City, seeing it overrun by Molag Bal’s armies was quite the disappointment. These Daedric fools made a spectacle of their defilement. I was forced to watch in horror as they celebrated the burning of many scrolls and books pillaged from the White-Gold Tower. A traitorous Legion of the Empire even joined in, can you imagine? Utterly unforgivable.” - Vestige Axeel-Raj, recounting the horrors he witnessed in the Imperial City.
