TES3 Bloodmoon: The Lycanthropy Cure (Optional)

Faern Sargtlin

(go to Thirsk to rest)

THIRSK

Svenja Snow-Song

"All hail Faern Sargtlin, the chieftain of Thirsk! What can I do for you, my lord. Perhaps there is some mead hall business you'd like to tend to? Or maybe you'd rather just go upstairs and rest in your quarters?"

:latest rumors:
"Have you seen it? The raven? It's been spotted at the Altar of Thrond. It's huge, and black as midnight. Some say it's a sign that witches have come to Solstheim."

Faern Sargtlin

(take a rest, careful not to change to werewolf in Thirsk)
(go to Altar of Thrond)

ALTAR OF THROND

Faern Sargtlin

(see a crow and it's talking)

Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd

"Greetings, Faern Sargtlin. Does my form surprise you? As a witch of Glenmoril Wyrd, I have the ability to change my shape as suits my needs. But then, you know something of shapechanging, don't you? That is why the Coven has come here to Solstheim. We have been watching events unfold, and are well aware that lycanthropy is spreading. For some this is a blessing. For others a curse. For those who wish, we offer a cure, one that forever stops the change into wolf form. Does such a thing interest you?"

Faern Sargtlin

"Yes, I'd like to rid myself of lycanthropy forever."

Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd

"Very well. You have chosen to cure your lycanthropy and forever end the call of the wolf within. The road before you is a difficult one, for ridding oneself of lycanthropy is not so easy as merely sipping a potion. But first, you must meet my sisters, and together we shall tell you of the Rite of the Wolf Giver. Come."

Faern Sargtlin

(teleported to a cave)

GLOOMY CAVE

Faern Sargtlin

(watch Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd transforms to human form)

Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd

"Your cure begins here, Faern Sargtlin. The Rite of the Wolf Giver is a complex ritual of dark magicka, requring the sacrifice of both flesh and innocence. My sisters and I will begin the preparations, but there are certain items that must be gathered. My sisters Isobel and Fallaise will tell you what is needed. When you have completed your errands for them, come speak to me again."

Faern Sargtlin

(talk to Fallaise of Glenmoril Wyrd)

Fallaise of Glenmoril Wyrd

"In order for the Rite of the Wolf Giver to proceed, my sisters and I need the petals of a wolfsbane flower. Wolfsbane is rare, and grows on Solstheim in only one place. You must go to the southern end of the Moesring Mountains, to the top of Hvitkald Peak. There you will find a single wolfsbane flower in bloom. Retrieve the petals of this wolfsbane flower and return them to me. Take this Rising Force Potion. You may need it to reach the peak."

Faern Sargtlin

(receive the Rising Force Potion)
(talk to Isobel of Glenmoril Wyrd)

Isobel of Glenmoril Wyrd

"The Rite of the Wolf Giver requires one bunch of ripened belladonna berries. Unripened berries won't do, I'm afraid. You can find ripened belladonna berries on belladonna plants that grow near Solstheim's burial barrows, for they thrive on death. The Spriggan creatures have also been known to possess them, on occassion. When you have one bunch of ripened belladonna berries, return it to me."

Faern Sargtlin

(go to Hvitkald Peak, and retrieve Wolfsbane Petals)
(go hunting some Spriggans, and retrieve Ripened Belladonna Berries)
(go back to Gloomy Cave)

Fallaise of Glenmoril Wyrd

"Ah, Faern Sargtlin, you have returned, and with the petals of the wolfsbane flower. Very impressive. The petals will be added to the cauldron, and infuse our brew with the essence of the wolf. Remember, you must also complete my sister Isobel's task as well before talking to Ettiene."

Isobel of Glenmoril Wyrd

"You have brought me a bunch of ripened belladonna berries. Well done, Faern Sargtlin. The berries will be added to our cauldron, and sweeten the brew with the flavor of death. I see you have also completed my sister Fallaise's task as well. Excellent. Speak now with Ettiene to learn what you must do next."

Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd

"So, you have completed your tasks for my sisters. Excellent. We will use those ingredients to concoct a certain potion. But it is not for drinking, no, no. It is for something...else. Meet me at the Altar of Thrond and I will tell you what you must do next. Certain preparations have already been made. The cure is within your grasp, Faern Sargtlin, but the final and most difficult steps lie ahead."

Faern Sargtlin

(go to the Altar of Thrond)

ALTAR OF THROND

Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd

"Greetings, Faern Sargtlin. The Rite of the Wolf Giver is almost complete. Behold the innocent on the Altar of Thrond. Beautiful, isn't she? One of the locals, a very nice specimen. She still lives, but barely. Your next step is simple. You must kill the innocent, remove her heart, and bring it to me. There is a dagger on the altar, but any weapon will do. Did I not tell you the Rite of the Wolf Giver requires the sacrifice of both innocence and flesh? He he he he he he he he he he!"

Faern Sargtlin

(take the dagger and kill the innocent)
(take the heart and talk to Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd)

Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd

"That's it! Now, I will pour the Glenmoril brew over the innocent's heart. The heart must get wet...soaked. Yes, there we go. Now, to recite the proper incantation.... [The Witch of Glenmoril Wyrd utters a long, shrieking series of arcane words. The heart pulses in her hand, as if infused with new life.] There! It is done! The heart has been properly bewitched. Now, place it back in the corpse of the innocent. Do this, and then speak with me again. You are almost free of your curse. Almost...."

Faern Sargtlin

(put back the bewitched heart)
(talk to Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd)

Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd

"Yes! Yes! There is just one last step, Faern Sargtlin. I must now recite the final incantation.... [The Witch of Glenmoril Wyrd utters another series of arcane, unintelligible words.] Behold, the innocent lives again! The woman has been given a part of your lycanthropy! Kill the werewolf, and your curse will be ended forever! He he he he he he he he he he!"

Faern Sargtlin

(witness the slain innocent is ressurected and turns to werewolf)
(battle the werewolf and kill it)
(talk to Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd)

Ettiene of Glenmoril Wyrd

"Congratulations, Faern Sargtlin. You have survived the Rite of the Wolf Giver and have been cured of your lycanthropy. Never again will you turn into a werewolf, and never again will you contract the disease."
