Ancalin

Ancalin is a High Elf resident of Skywatch, who can be found looking over the city wall at Telenger's Emporium. She had four children who all died before her.

Quest-Related Events

She can be heard sighing:

"My poor children. My poor little rabbits."

When you walk up to her, she'll say:

"A mother shouldn't outlive her children. And I've had four pass on to Aetherius. It's almost too much to bear."

Is there any way I can help?

"Would you pray for them? Pray for them at their grave markers. I want them to have peace.
But I'm too old to go now. I can't even leave Skywatch."

Where are the markers?

"They're buried at all four ends of the island. On a bluff outside Vulkhel Guard, just outside of Tanzelwil, near Castle Rilis. And on a hill overlooking Phaer.
My children loved the water. Loved the sight of it."

I'll pray for your children.

With this, you accept the quest. You might still ask for further information on her children.

"They were good little rabbits. Kind and brave. Thank you so much for your promise."

Would you tell me about your children?

"Of course. Do you want me to tell you about Elanduya, my eldest? Wirande? Or little Soraperil?"

Tell me about Elanduya.

"My fiery girl. She got tired of her mother's coddling. Took up with a musician, and sold lutes up north for years.
Eventually she grew to miss me, and we were close for decades before she passed."

Wirande, that's an unusual name.

"I know, so old fashioned. I named him after my father.
My first boy. I knew what name he'd have. And he made me so proud."

What was little Soraperil like?

"He was just like my brother Paaulen. So smart. He could sell a fur coat to a Khajiit.
Soraperil wasn't a Mage, but he taught alchemy with them at the Hall here in Skywatch."

You only named three children. Who was the fourth?

"Mendol. My youngest boy. He joined the military, fought on the front lines. And died in defense of his homeland.
I wish I could have made him see. Made him realize it was a mistake to leave."

After praying at their graves, return to Ancalin.

"Did you do as you promised? Do my children know peace?"

They're all at peace now.

"Auri-el bless and keep you, traveler. You have no idea how much this means to an old woman. Now I can find peace myself.
I'll be with my babies soon. It's been so long since I've seen their faces."

With this, Ancalin herself also disappears into nothing.
