Quest-Related Events

Dark Wings

When you approach when not visiting her at the behest of the Wyrd, you will hear her mutter:

"What are you doing here, city dweller?"

If you talk with her, she will suggest that you leave the area:

"Keep your distance, outsider. The last thing we need is some rock-brained city dweller bumbling around.
Darkness dominates this part of the forest—Uela the Hagraven and her Reachmen are encamped here. For now, at least."

Is there anything I can do?

"Yes. There is something you could do for me, outsider. I have a cousin who left the sisterhood and returned to the stinking pile of rocks that is Evermore.
If you are going there, find her and tell her to leave the city now."

Why do you want her to leave?

"Because the city is doomed. Even if they are not destroyed by the Reachmen, there is a corruption from within the city that will bring it down.
I prefer that my cousin Phylgaux was not there. Please, just tell her she has to get out."

All right. I'll give Phylgaux the message.

You can then deliver the message to Phylgaux in Evermoe, who will ignore it. You will now be in place to investigate the forlorn city.

Destroying the Dark Witnesses

After being asked by Wyress Delphique to contact the Wyresses at Jackdaw Cove, you can find Freyda near the Troll's Toothpick. When she meets you, she will be dismissive and tell you to leave.

"Keep your distance, outsider. The last thing we need is some rock-brained city dweller bumbling around.
Darkness dominates this part of the forest—Uela the Hagraven and her Reachmen are encamped here. For now, at least."

Wyress Delphique suggested I come here.

"She did? I find that hard to believe. Delphique knows how I feel about outsiders.
Regardless, whatever your reasons for coming, they'll have to wait."

Heart of Evil

If you haven't started the quest, she will talk to the wolf guardian accompanying her with:

"I feel it too, sister. The Hagraven's influence is growing stronger."

After coming in contact with Wyress Freyda, she will explain that she and her sisters are currently battling with Uela and her Dark Witnesses and cannot assist anyone at the time:

"Right now, we are in no position to offer anyone aid, and certainly not a city dweller.
Uela the Hagraven and her Reachmen have taken over this part of the forest and everything here—including the wyresses—are weaker as a result."

Do you plan to drive the Reachmen away?

"Where they travel, the forest slowly withers and dies. We will drive Uela and her Dark Witnesses from here or we will die.
Unfortunately, the old hag is no stranger to Wyrd magic. She has constructed foul totems that suppress our power."

Is that something I could help with?

"You expect me to trust one such as you? Hm. Perhaps … of one of my sisters keeps an eye on you. Wyress Rashan is young, but she will do.
Rashan returns shortly from scouting. If you really wish to help us, she can join you to destroy the totems."

That's fine with me.

After agreeing to help a wolf will come up to the two of you.

Wyress Freyda: "Here she comes now …. Rashan. We have a volunteer to destroy Uela's totems."

Speaking to her before speaking to Rashan, you can ask questions:

"Rashan will show you how you can be of assistance.
Do not be mistaken though, outsider. If you take any action to harm what little nature remains uncorrupted here, she will go straight for your throat."

Are you the leader of the Wyrd here?

"We do not adhere to the unhealthy social structures of city dwellers. We Glenmoril Wyrd follow the natural order.
This part of the forest belongs to the Jackdaw crows, thus their needs guide our actions here. When they suffer, we all do."

Did the crows swarming Evermore come from here?

"That is…likely. Uela has corrupted the Jackdaw crows, taken control of them.
Many crows have disappeared. I hoped they had escaped her influence, but it sounds like she has instead dispatched them to be her eyes and ears elsewhere."

What do you know about Uela?

"She is a poisonous taint on the natural order—the most foul and evil Hagraven I have heard of.
Somehow, she has earned Hircine's favor. Her followers, the Dark Witnesses, treat her like a god."

What does she want here?

"Many, many moons ago, these lands belonged to the Reach. Eventually, the natural order drove them away, but now they return to reclaim what they believe is theirs."

Why are you so distrustful toward me?

"Because it is people like you threaten the natural order.
You bring your wars here and lay waste to all that falls in your path. You chop down trees and divert streams in the name of civilization and progress."

You just assume I'm like all the others?

"I do. Nature is not philosophical, it is pragmatic.
We do not make judgements based on idealistic morals and complex theories. We make judgements based on experience, and experience tells us that you are all the same—not to be trusted."

If you speak with her before leaving, she will merely say:

"Pray you are successful."

Once you have tracked down Uela and slain her, Freyda will be waiting outside the tower with the other wyresses to complete the ritual to start repairing the corruption caused to the forest by Uela.

"The ritual is prepared. Wyress Rashan assured me that you'd have the heart.
Assuming you do, tell Rashan, and we can get on with it. We don't want the forest to suffer a moment longer than it has to."

Before you throw the heart in:

"This is it! Cast the heart in the circle!"

After completing the ritual, she will grudgingly say:

"Impressive … for an outsider."

Once you have spoken with Wyress Rashan, Freyda will repeat what she said when she first met you. ^{[verification needed — is this a bug?]}
