Wyress Rashan in wolf form

After agreeing with Wyress Freyda to be chaperoned while in the Cove, a Wolf Guardian will walk up to you and Freyda will refer to it as Wyress Rashan. You can then speak with Rashan who will ask of you to destroy Uela's totems while she's accompanying you:

"We aren't in the habit of trusting outsiders, but the suffering of the forest seems to have softened my sister's heart.
If you really wish to help us, I suppose that's an offer we can't refuse."
I want to help defeat the Reachmen however I can.
"It won't be easy. First, you'll need to destroy Uela's totems. They keep us from drawing on the power of nature for our magicka.
The Reachmen guard them closely, but I'll fight at your side. No spells, but I've got sharp claws and a mean bite."
I welcome your help.
"I do what I do for the forest, not for you. There are three totems—just a bunch of strung-together sticks for you, but they're like poison to me.
I can't get too close, so it's all on you to destroy them. All right. Are you ready?"
I'm ready. Let's go.

Speaking to her again while destroying the totems, she will say various lines:

"We destroy the wards. Then we destroy the foul hag herself."
"After this, we will find Uela. The hag must die."
"Destroying the totems is the first step to restoring the natural order."
"Strike quickly like a snake. Time of the essence."

Once the totems are destroyed, Rashan will immediately feel the difference.

"Whoah! I can actually feel the forest again ….
This is good. The natural order is re-emerging already. It's still very weak though; it has to be nurtured back to health."
What about Uela?
"She has to die. Until Uela's gone, the corruption remains. Her blood is the nurture the forest needs.
Whoah! My magicka is returning, and it's making me lightheaded …. Meet me over at the old tower. I need to get my bearings."
I'll meet you there.

After speaking with the Strange Crow you can meet Wyress Rashan at the Tower, she will be in her human form and she'll apologize for her past behavior.

"Listen. I–I was wrong to be so hard on you before. You've certainly proven now that you deserve my trust.
I appreciate your help more than I can express, especially if you'll see this thing through."
I will. I spoke to Uela as a crow back there.
"You did? Ha! Well I guess we got the old hag's attention! Maybe we put the foul thing on the defensive!
Of course, she probably has layers upon layers of protection. I don't even know how to find her. I don't suppose you have any inkling?"
She said it's a secret only a crow would know.
"The poor crows. She's taken complete control of them. Their spirits are helpless; they can only watch what happens to their physical forms from the nature realm.
She does have them coming and going though, so they would know where to find her."
Is there any way we could commune with them?
"As a matter of fact, now that I can draw on the power of nature again, there is.
I can take you into the nature realm … not in that form, of course, but it would allow us to talk to the crows' true spirits. Do you trust me?"
Yes. Let's do it.
 
Rashan and the player as wolves in the Nature Realm

Wyress Rashan will then draw you into the nature realm, where you and her will be in wolf spirit form so you can speak with the crows. If you talk to Rashan, she will say:

"I don't think Uela's going to see this coming. Once the crows tell us how to find her, we'll soon be gnawing on her rotten little bones."

After finding the Uela's hiding place from speaking with the crow spirits, Rashan will say:

"So Uela's hiding away in the island tower? Let's go scout it out."

When you approach the island tower, Wyress Rashan will comment:

Wyress Rashan: "This looks like the place. I guess you're the one who's going in."

Before heading in, you will need to speak with Rashan.

"Here I was, just starting to feel like you're one of the pack, and now we have to part ways.
Obviously, I'll have to be the one to break the wards on the door. It doesn't seem fair. You get to go in and chew the old hag's face off."
Will I remain in this form?
"I don't think so. Her lair's actually in the physical realm, so you'll assume your physical form. Probably not so much chewing, I suppose.
That's good though. You'll need your hands. After the crone's dead, you'll have to get her nasty little heart."
Why do you need her heart?
"When I said her blood was the nurture the forest needs, I meant that, literally. She's the source of the corruption here, so we need her heart to perform the ritual to cleanse the forest.
So … are you ready to go get it?"
I'm ready whenever you are.
 
Rashan weakens the ward

Once you are ready, Rashan will return to the physical world and weaken the wards.

Wyress Rashan: "There. Back in the physical realm. Time to do this."
<A beam of green light appears from her outstretched palm and hits the warded door.>
Wyress Rashan: "All right! The door should be open now! Go get me that heart!"

If you exit the tower and speak to her again:

"Grisly as it may be, don't forget that I need the old hag's heart."

After you have slain Uela and taken her heart, Wyress Rashan can be spoken to to find out what must be done.

"The Reachmen must have sensed Uela's death. They started to panic and fight amongst themselves.
Made them easy pickings for me and my sisters. Now, the heart. You do have it, I hope."
Yes. I do. What will this ritual do exactly?
"You see all the giant vines choking the life out of everything here?
The ritual will purge the area of their evil presence. It's necessary for the land to heal. Why are you stalling though? You've grown attached to those vines?"
No. You can take the heart.
"Actually, hold onto it. I have an idea. Wyress Freyda will howl, but I think you've earned the honor.
Let us begin the ritual, and once we've penetrated the earth, you can throw the heart into the circle to complete the spell."
All right. I'll throw the heart in the circle when you say.

The ritual will then begin with Wyresses Calysa and Freyda assisting.

Wyress Rashan: "All right, sisters. Let us begin the ritual."
<A beam of red light will appear in the center of the circle.>
Wyress Rashan: "It's your moment. Go ahead. Throw the heart into the circle."

If you delay the ritual, she will ask you to throw in the heart:

"Are you waiting for the seasons to change again? Throw the hag's heart into the circle!"

Once the ritual is completed, you can speak with Rashan.

"Who would have guessed it would be an outsider who would show up and kill Uela?
I doubt this means we'll start inviting families from Evermore out to visit, but maybe, just maybe, we can be a little more friendly."
I hope so.
"I, for one, am as grateful to you as the flowers are to the sun. You brought life back to these lands when it was nearly choked out.
Though we may never officially call an outsider a friend, I think we can at least consider you an ally."

The ParleyEdit

After completing the Heart of Evil, you can say your final goodbyes to Rashan. If you choose to exit out of the conversation and come back in to accept the quest, she will say:

"Aren't you going to say goodbye?"

She will bid you farewell and you will need to report back to Arzhela that Uela and the Reachmen are no longer a threat to Evermore:

"Well … I expect you won't be returning any time soon to enjoy my sisters' hospitality, and I can guarantee we won't run into each other on some city street ….
So I guess this is goodbye then."
Yes. I must inform the queen that Uela is dead.
Of course. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you.
I didn't think about it before, but I suppose this means the Reachmen are no longer a threat to Evermore either."
I certainly hope not.
"All right. Well, if you ever come back to this neck of the woods, we'll kill you.
I'm only joking! Wyress humor again. Go on now. May Hircine bless your hunt, wherever it may lead you."
And you.

Speaking to her again:

"Come back and visit anytime. Just don't tell Freyda that I suggested it…."
