Voicing Hestra's Nest (Skyrim Mod)

Project Overview
The Arcane University had released their first project called Hestra's Nest back in June 2022, but some of the characters could not be voiced by actual voice actors before the release. This project here is made to find these characters the voice they deserve, but also as a mean for more people to discover the beautiful job the Arcane University students have done, without being afraid of the robotic voices. (Characters that already had a VA will not have their voices replaced.)
You can find the original mod here : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/70098
However, it is not all. This is also the opportunity for me to find voices for my own mod that expands the quests inside the same area: "More to do in Hestra's Nest". Hopefully, every character will find its VA!
The roles will be assigned in the beginning of August 2023.
Thank you for checking the project, and I am looking forward to your submissions!

Ah, you wish to learn about the Mistress of Decay?

You are talking to a true Dunmeri historian, fresh out of training and happy-- ah, more than happy to serve!
I was sent by the Guild of Historians to update our records, but our work in the Reach is new, and the people have not heard of us.
Gorloch was just trying to help me, right? I-- I'll be sure to apologise to him later. Thank you.

Don't be so surprised. Where there's politics, there are spies, assassins, and thieves..
I was forced to leave my home, and my life, and drifted here. I hail from Daggerfall. A city of culture - and a city of spies.
That's what I tell myself, every day. But it still hurts. I try to get messages to her when I can. But I don't think she's forgiven me.

I'll always be happy to see you around!

A farmer has gone missing. He is basically the only one taking care of our crops in this town. Without him, we're doomed.
My idea was just to rebuild the order, but to protect Hestra's Nest instead. Hopefully I won't get corrupted by a daedric prince... Hah... I hope?
Thank you so much. The town is gonna be safer than ever now!

Thank you, I thought I was gonna rot in here... Did Tristane send you?
He is always trying to keep me safe... I guess it didn't work this time, but can I really blame him?
Hestra's Nest is not the safest place in Tamriel. That's a certainty... But Tristane is doing his best to keep us safe. And with your help, it definitely got safer.

I don't know. I felt peace when I first arrived here. Hence why I settled down here. I just really like the place.
My sheep keep disappearing. Something is wrong and I don't even know what... The field is filled with animals, I suppose it is just that simple.
Wool is a really important material, don't you think?

Open your eyes, and your wallet!
Studying Forsworn magic, truly impressive! But not enough to keep me staying...
Have you seen dandelions out there? I am preparing a small potion, but I am missing some.

Forsworn Finding's was a bit of an inn, until it closed down. There's not enough visitors to maintain the kitchen open.
I was supposed to receive some ingredients a while ago, but the courier never arrived in Hestra's Nest. I believe something happened to them, probably the spriggans.
I guess I can host them for a while... But they'll have to do some chores as well, I can't host them for free.

Devon was captured by the Forsworn, but will be saved by the player. He is a coward, definitely not a fighter, and would rather run than fight.

We were captured by the Forsworn! I don't want to die!
Where do we go now? We have nothing left to survive out there! Not even enough to buy a room in an inn!

Thank you for helping me out of this place. I thought I was doomed.
I lost a necklace. It was taken from me when I was captured. I cherish it with all my heart. Will you help me get it back?
Well, if you are not going to help me, why are you still here?

Hunting is entertaining, but even more for those who watch. My lord just wants a spectacle, and he shall have it.
Vengeance is puerile, but call it what you want. I see it as a way to honor my comrades' death in battle.
I hope this land will be merciful to you.
The warden (not named yet) lives inside the Warden Temple, in the mountains in Hestra's Nest. He teaches his apprentices how to be wardens, which means harnessing the power of nature to defeat their opponents. He is calm and collected, often disappointed by his apprentice's impulsivity.

Magic can take many forms. Yes, you can conjure a daedric being, but you could conjure bears, or spriggans.
I can help you find your way, but everything has a cost.
Take my apprentice with you. He could learn a lot from you.

Be the hunter, not the hunted. Stay away from this place.
My hunt is over, but someone will follow my path.
