A younger Lladi Telvanni in the past

While you hear the residents refer to her when you first enter in Bal Sunnar, you and Saresea don't meet her in person until you arrive in the settlement's past. The Matriarch is first encountered at the excavation site, where she believes you are there to steal what is theirs. She will direct her Telvanni to attack you:

Matriarch Lladi Telvanni:"They've come for the artifact! Do not let them near it!"
Matriarch Lladi Telvanni:"Who sent you? How did you learn of our discovery?"

You eventually follow her into a side Excavation Chamber, where she will call for assistance:

Matriarch Lladi Telvanni:"This power is ours! I will control my own fate!"
Matriarch Lladi Telvanni:"Rise, my blessed pet! Defend our home!"
<Roksa the Warpedis summoned. At this point, Saresea arrives.>
Saresea:"Here you are! I felt a surge of power and… what is that?"

Matriarch Lladi will have been cast through time due to the anomaly, and you soon follow her when Saresea's attempt to stablize it fails. After climbing the ladder outside you will see Bal Sunnar has vastly changed. The buildings are ruined, there are fires everywhere and green slime and pus can be found on the walls and ground. In the distance, a Daedric Temple will be seen. As you fight your way there, you will need to fight the Peryite-Blessed blocking your path.

Matriarch Lladi and the time distortion
Teleporting into the arena

Saresea will soon come to the conclusion that Matriarch Lladi arrived in the future before you and forged a defensive pact with the Taskmaster. Deep within the Peryitic Ritual Chamber of the temple, you will find the temporal distortion and Matriarch Lladi will be drawing power from it. Saresea will attempt to reason with the matriarch without success:

Saresea:"Well, I was right. Here it is."
Saresea:"Matriarch! Allow us to neutralize the distortion!"
Matriarch Lladi Telvanni:"I've waited years for you. Preparing. Seething. Gaining in power."
Matriarch Lladi Telvanni:"Your scourge is over!"
<Matriarch Lladi attacks you.>
Saresea:"I cannot allow this to continue. I must destroy it."
Saresea:"Keep the Matriarch away from me while I focus!"

Now is the time to fight Matriarch Lladi, she will use a combination of temporal magics and diseases to fight you. She will shout the following during the fight:

Temporal Attacks
"Finally! The chase ends here"
"This has happened before!"[verification needed]
"Feel the weight of time!"[verification needed]
(?)
Disease Attacks
"Feel it crawl under your skin!"
"A gift from my lord!"
"Peryite blesses you!"
"Covered in glory!"
"Taste what Peryite offers you!"

Once you have defeated Matriarch Lladi:

Matriarch Lladi Telvanni:"My lord, you failed me!"
<Matriarch Lladi Telvanni dies>
