Recite the Oath... if you can remember it
I met a Nord named Eirfa at Geirmund's Hall. She asked if I'd be interested in participating in a drinking contest. Let's see how this goes.


Quick WalkthroughEdit

  1. Talk to Aelm.
  2. Win the drinking contest.
  3. Talk to Eirfa.
  4. Drink the potent brew and recite Geirmund's Oath.
  5. Return to Eirfa.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Eirfa asks you to speak to her sister, Aelm, who is just inside the drinking hall. She will give you the rules of the contest: you have to drink as much as you can within the allotted time without collapsing. The Drunkard's Feast is just to the right of the entrance and will help keep you from passing out. Each time you eat, you will negate the effects of the mead you've just consumed, but use up valuable time. The correct combination of drinking and eating is two drinks followed by one serving of food, until you've consumed six drinks and three servings of food, followed by four drinks in a row to complete the contest. [Doesn't work anymore - 08/16/2023]

4x food 1x drink, 4x food 1x drink, 2x food, it works (2.12.23)

Return to Eirfa. She will congratulate you on your victory, but tell you there's one more task: to drink a special, potent brew and recite Geirmund's Oath on a nearby stage. She will recite the Oath for you upon request.

Lord Geirmund, great battlemage,
saved the Rift in Harald's age.
He slew the wicked Gauldur three,
and set their father's spirit free.
His tomb was built upon this lake,
and in his name this oath I take.[1]
Should evil come, should night descend,
I swear the Rift I will defend.

Head over to the keg, which is sitting to the right as you face the stage. As soon as you drink from the keg, it will become immediately obvious just how strong the brew is as your vision blurs and turns green. Stumble over to the stage and stand by the lectern.

"<The crowd awaits your opening words.>"
<You clear your throat.>
"<The audience cheers.>"

From here you have several choices to make for each line:

Line 1

Lord Geirmund was a crazy mage.
Lard Garglemon, green burgle beige.
Lord Geirmund, great battle mage.

Line 2

He shaved the rats, slept in a cage.
Saved the Rift in Harald's age.
Hey samaramalrumulrage.

Line 3

He chewed upon the Goblin tree.
A bum ba bum ba bumble bum.
He slew the wicked Gauldur three.

Line 4

And sat a feather on a flea.
Da dum da bum da dumble dum.
And set their father's spirit free.

Line 5

A thumb was burnt into a cake.
His tomb was built upon this lake.
Ba boo ba be ba babby boh.

Line 6

And in his name this oath I take.
Now on my nose this cake I bake.
La loo la le la lobby low.

Line 7

Should evil come, should night descend,
I don't know the words.
I … I don't feel so good.

Line 8

I'm going to be sick.
I don't know the words.
I swear the Rift I will defend!

If you give the wrong line, the crowd will randomly react:

"<The audience is confused.>"
"<The audience boos.>"

However if you get it right or if you mumble through the line, they'll randomly react with these:

"<The audience cheers.>"
"<The audience is silent.>"

Once you're done, return to Eirfa. No matter if you get the lines correct or not she will remark on your fortitude before giving you some gold and the Oath-Speaker's Boots.

NotesEdit

  1. ^ The NPCs sing "and in his name this oath I make", rather than "take".


Quest StagesEdit

Geirmund's Oath
Finishes Quest Journal Entry
Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
