Proving the Deed

Svalkmar the Crude can be found with the rest of the Fighters Guild council, waiting for evidence linking to Jofnir's killer. His dialogue changes depending on the location of the meeting:

At Fort Amol:

"Ahh, so nice to be holding this meeting in Skyrim. Perhaps later we can go for a run out to one of the dragonshrine ruins! Always a good fight, draugr."

At Sentinel and Vulkwasten

"What I wouldn't give to be having this meeting in Skyrim. It's hot as dragon's breath in here.

Aren't dragons a myth?

"Hah! Aren't you a milk-drinking simpleton?
Skyrim is littered with relics from the time of the dragons. Shrines, tombs … trust me, comrade. Many are the lies and stories told to children. Dragons do not number among them."

While investigating Jofnir's quarters, he will either say:

"I hope whoever did this is ready to suffer for those actions. This won't be a swift punishment."

"Jofnir was my mentor. The greatest warrior I ever knew. It's a shame for him to end this way."

"Go swiftly my friend and show no mercy to those who may stand in your way."

"Merric has been reasonable so far. Perhaps he should have been the interim rather than Sees-All-Colors. I've always held a great respect for the Redguard."

After returning from Ragnthar:

"Well? Share your news with the council!"

Once Merric has been told of Jofnir's killer:

"Were it solely up to me, I'd have her head on a pike."

Will of the Council

Once you have stopped the traitor to the Guild and destroyed the Mortuum Vivicus, the council will be waiting for you in the Earth Forge. After listening to your report the council will announce their choice for the new Guildmaster:

Countess Hakruba: "Merric at-Aswala. In light of your service to the guild. In light of your sound judgement and brave heart, we cannot think of anyone more appropriate than you. You, Merric, are to be the new Guildmaster of the Fighters Guild."

General Flaminius Auctor: "It will be your responsibility to oversee completion of the contract established by Sees-All-Colors."

Svalkmar the Crude: "Remain vigilant against the forces of Molag Bal."

Ra'zaym Iron-Ear: "The Guild is a shield, a bastion for the people of Tamriel. Wear it well."

Borogilmith: "You've been quiet, Merric. What do you have to say about all this?"

Merric at-Aswala: "I … Thank you, council members. I accept this position with honor and grace. I swear to my ancestors, I will not let you down."

Countess Hakruba: "Now, Guildmaster, please see our friend out. We have much to discuss, and little time in which to plan. Comrade! We wish you well in your travels, and look forward to our next encounter."

Merric at-Aswala: "Come, comrade. You can't do much good hiding in this forge. Let's get you back into the fight!"
