As you approach, you'll see her reading a book, mumbling to herself as she does:

"Geirmund was a man misunderstood in his own day. Fascinating, fascinating."

She will administer the Trial of the Mind where you have to solve riddles:

"And that was the last time Geirmund was ever seen.
Oh. Yes?"
I'm here to do the Trial of the Mind.
"Ahh, yes. Like the skalds of old, this will be a trial of riddles and rhymes.
I tell you the riddle. The answer to each can be found around the island. You find it, place it in this sack, and bring it to me. Got it?"
Go ahead.
"The first riddle, then:

I hold your twin within my face.
I whirl your world around.

In me you see what others see.
In me the truth is found."
I'll return with the answer.

If you speak to her before figuring out the riddle, she'll only say:

"Figured it out yet? No.
Come back when you do, please."

Return with the correct object, and she'll ask the next riddle:

"Well, what do you say? What was the answer to my first riddle?"
A mirror.
"Yes, yes. Well done, well done. Let's move on, then. Here's the second riddle.

I float in the sky, I cover the land.
I can carry your weight or slip through your hand."

If you speak to her before figuring out the riddle, she'll only say:

"How goes the search? Still searching, yes? Hmm."

Return with the second object, she will present the final riddle:

"One down, and you look confident about the second riddle. What's the answer?"
Water.
"Hah! You're doing better than most. Now for the final riddle:

Where are the oceans dry, the mountains flat, and the sky can never be seen?"

If you speak to her before figuring out the riddle, she'll only say:

"This is it. Have you found the answer yet? So close. So close."

Return with the final object and you will pass the trial:

"Last one! What's the answer?"
A map.
"Yes, that's it! Well done indeed. I'll pass the word to Vofknir at once.
Now, if you'll excuse me."

After the quest:

"You did very well, yes. Very well. Hard work.
Sorry, do you mind? This scroll needs translating. Such fascinating ink-work."
