Quest-Related Events[edit]
Before the quest, you can find him at the Cold Moon Inn where he's drowning his sorrows:
- "If you're looking for a hired blade, look somewhere else. I don't do that anymore."
- Why did you stop working as a hired blade?
- "I was a good soldier once. I was a faithful follower of Kyne, along with the rest of my family. After the disaster, I was disgraced, no longer fit to serve in the regular army. So for a time, I sold my blade to the highest bidder."
- And now?
- "What does it look like? I sit here and I drink until I collapse. Then I get up and drink some more. It's the only way I can endure the memories."
- What happened?
- "You ask more questions than my mother, and she's the Keeper of Kynesgrove! leave me to my drink or I'll show you how good a warrior I use to be."
If you choose to find Sahun after Fresgil tells you where to find him, you will tell him about that his mother thinks he's dead and is taking her anger out on Kyne and her followers. He will refuse to come along since he is living in shame from a battle that resulted his brother and allies dead. Also, he thinks his mother is lost already:
- Are you Sahun? Son of Ormi the Keeper?
- "Who wants to know?"
- Your mother thinks you're dead.
- "I'd rather have her think that than know the truth.
I'm a disgrace to my people and to Kyne. My brother, my ship, my entire fleet—they died right in front of me! And what did I do? Nothing!" - Ormi rejected Kyne and turned to Daedric magic because she grieves for her sons.
- "No. My mother is the head Keeper at Kynesgrove. She'd never turn against Kyne and her people. She should honor my brother's memory, not disgrace it."
- You need to come with me and speak to her. Many lives are at stake.
- "No, I can't. If what you say is true, then it's already too late for my mother.
Do what you must to save those people, but I can't face what she's become."
Speaking to him again:
- "Please, just leave me alone."
Return to Kynesgrove and battle his mother. After you've defeated her, Sahun will have had a change of heart and arrived at the dragon mound to tend to his dying mother:
- Sahun: "Stop, please! Leave her alone!"
- Sahun: "Oh, mother! What have you done?"
- Keeper Ormi: "My son! You're alive! I thought I lost you."
He will not give up on his mother and Kyne, which is why he will pray to the goddess for forgiveness:
- "Why would you do this to yourself, mother? To all these people?
Listen, traveler. I know she did horrible things, but she's still my mother. Kyne must forgive her. The goddess never gives up on her people." - I don't know what we can do for her.
- "No. I won't give up on her or Kyne.
I lost faith in myself the day I lost my brother, but I never lost faith in my god. Kyne teaches us to fight for what we believe in, and that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm fighting for my mother." - What do you plan to do?
- "Pray for forgiveness."
Sahun will stand and walk to the altar and beg Kyne for forgiveness by promising to rejoin the war in exchange of sparing his mother:
- Sahun: "Kyne, hear my prayers. My mother turned away from you, but she was wrong. She acted as she did because of her grief."
- Sahun: "She devoted her life to you. If you restore her, I'll return to the war. I'll take up my weapon to fight for your honor, and our people, once more."
- Sahun: "Please, goddess. I lost my brother and my father. Don't take my mother from me as well."
With his final words, Ormi will transform back to human form. Speaking to him before his mother:
- "Kyne forgave us both this day. We need to repent. But to be in Kyne's favor again! I forgot what that felt like."
After speaking to Ormi, he will not let down his family ever again:
- "I was a fool to turn your help down when you asked for it.
By Kyne, I was an even bigger fool to turn my back on my family when they needed me the most. I'll not lose sight of what matters again."
After the quest, if you spared his mother:
- "We'll make things right. You'll see."
