Quest-Related EventsEdit
Before the quest, he will be at the western side of Treehenge:
- "Please, don't interrupt my meditation."
After collecting mammoth tusks from the cultists, Find Vanedil and speak to him:
- "Wasteful practice. Abhorrent! Oh, pardon. I did not see you arrive.
Are you another pilgrim to Treehenge? Be wary of the cultists. There is no telling when they may strike." - Aniaste sent me to find you. I have some ivory ….
- "Excellent. The cultists use the mammoths' ivory for fetishes in their dark rituals.
And what of Aniaste? Will she be along shortly?" - She didn't make it.
- "Oh. I see. There'll be time enough to mourn her, after my work is complete.
The cultists carve the ivory at their camp. Acquire their ceremonial knife, and we can put a stop to this!" - I can try.
Speaking to him again:
- "The camp's not far from here. I doubt the cultists will simply let you take one.
They never dared enter Treehenge before. I wonder what changed?"
Return with the knife and he'll remark:
- "You've found the blade? Excellent.
Put the ivory in the pit and let the ritual begin."
Throw in the ivory and he'll add:
- Vanendil "Yes, of course! The knife must be destroyed as well. Throw it in!"
Speaking before throwing the knife in the fire pit:
- "The spirits won't be appeased without a sacrifice of some kind.
I don't believe they'll want a life for a life, but one must never be too careful."
Do so and three mammoth spirits appear:
- "Fascinating. You see them, don't you?
This will make a marvelous addition to my studies." - You mean the ghostly mammoths, I expect?
- "Indeed! Well, perhaps my time is not yet at an end here. I cannot leave such a phenomenon undocumented.
Thank you for your aid in uncovering these creatures. Their suffering is regrettable, but I will see to it that it is not forgotten."
Speak to him after the quest and he'll say:
- "A marvel such as I've never seen. If only there was a way to communicate with the beasts themselves!
Hm. I do hope their appearance won't attract attention."
