Tooth-in-the-Sea on the shore near Bravil

Tooth-in-the-Sea at the bottom of Niben Bay

Tooth-in-the-Sea is an Argonian mage and the master Alteration trainer. As the advanced-level trainers will tell you, he lives, as his name implies, in the sea. You can find his night camp on the coast north of Bravil, directly east of Flooded Mine.

Every day, when he wakes up at 6am, he heads straight east into Niben Bay, dives down and spends the next twelve hours underwater. He surfaces at 6pm and walks directly up to the camp, lights his campfire to dry up and lies down on his sleeping mat, without having eaten, for twelve hours of sleep. He will only offer training when he's awake.

He wears the standard mage's robe along with a matching hood and carries a leveled amount of gold. He knows a standard set of Journeyman-level mage spells.

Dialogue

When you enter conversation with Tooth-in-the-Sea, before or after obtaining the necessary references to approach Tooth-in-the-Sea for master training, he will only ask:

"Yes?"

Quest-related Events

Alteration Training

His fame as an Alteration trainer has spread among the other Advanced Alteration trainers. Abhuki will tell you:

"Tooth-in-the-Sea can teach you more than I. Search for him north of Bravil, along the coast of Niben Bay. Or perhaps in it, depending on his mood."

While Athragar comments:

"If you wish to learn more about Alteration, you'd be wise to consult Tooth-in-the-Sea. If you can find him, that is. I believe he's currently residing somewhere north of Bravil. Spends most of his time in Niben Bay, I understand. And I do mean IN Niben Bay."

When asked about master training again, either trainer will provide you with a quick reminder:

"Seek out Tooth-in-the-Sea. He can train you further."

After the references, he will put your water breathing abilities to the test:

"Would you learn from me? Then meet me during the day, out under the waves in the bay."

And afterwards:

"We will not speak of training here. When I have settled myself in my favorite spot in the bay, then we shall talk. Follow me there, if you wish."

If you try to begin the test after 1pm, Tooth-in-the-Sea will tell you:

"It is too late in the day to begin your test now. Return tomorrow before 1 PM, and we shall discuss it then."

Once you speak to him underwater, he will say:

"Well, here we are. If you wish to learn what I know about Alteration, then you must stay here with me for a full three hours. How you manage to do this is up to you; do not wander off, or I shall consider this test of your ability failed. Are you prepared to begin now?"

No.

"A pity. I was looking forward to this. Perhaps some other time, then."

If you then ask for Training again, he will ask:

"Are you ready to begin your test now?"

Yes, I'm ready.

"Very well. We shall speak again in three hours. Good luck to you."

If you wonder too far off (like when going up the lake to breathe air), he will tell you went too far from him:

"I'm afraid you have failed the test. I warned you to stay close. We can try again some other time, perhaps."

He will now return to the side of the lake. You will have to retry another time.

If you talk to him underwater before the three hours have passed, he will tell you:

"We are not yet done with your test. When you have passed or failed, then we may have reason to speak."

After three long hours underwater, he will be the one approaching you:

"You have passed your test. Well done. I shall be more than happy to train you in the skill of Alteration from now on."

If you are an Argonian, he will not require you to do the test. Instead he will say: "A fellow Argonian. How good to see. Were you anyone else, I would require a test before offering you training, but it's one I'm sure you could pass." He will then say: "I am at your service. If you need Alteration training, I am here for you."

Unused Dialogue

Every Master trainer has unused dialogue related to them refusing you training if you hadn't completed their quest yet (likely when you selected the train icon). For Tooth-in-the-Sea this is supposed to be:

"Training? Oh, no. I don't think so."
