Meesei certainly understood Oswall's fears, but she did have a good answer for him. "Fortunately, there will be nothing to fear if we are successful against Vile. The Oblivion Crisis, for all the turmoil it gave to the world, also gave scholars ample time to research the nature of Oblivion. Sigil stones give a connection between two planes of existence, and if one is destabilized, or the stone is destroyed or removed, then everything that came through the portal will be returned to where it came from. During the Oblivion Crisis, when soldiers managed to remove the sigil stones from their towers, all of them were immediately returned to Tamriel in an apparent flash of light. According to Areldril, if we successfully destroy Vile's form, the ripples it will send through his realm will disrupt the connection of the sigil stones and send us all back to the Hunting Grounds. It will also give Hircine the chance to reclaim the lycan souls that are rightfully his for his own realm."

"As for Molag Bal.." Meesei continued. It was clear that she was not quite as certain on the topic as on the sigil stones, but neither was she making uninformed guesses. Their relationship with Molag Bal over the years was best described as distant. They mostly coordinated only enough to make sure they did not accidentally harm each other, but Meesei was still well-informed enough about the actions of Molag Bal's followers to get a sense of the Daedra's disposition. "His followers have been fighting this war as well. They are not as close to it as us, of course, but Molag Bal has been offended by Vile, and he is a far more...emotional Daedra than Hircine. He has been offended, angered, and will want revenge. The cost may not be as great as you fear."
