Find the corpses of lost villagers
I discovered a Spinner named Melrethel imprisoned in the cellars of the Vile Manse. She claims to be from the Wood Elf village that Graccus razed and built his manor upon.


Quick WalkthroughEdit

  1. Release Melrethel.
  2. Talk to Melrethel.
  3. Find the three villagers' belongings.
  4. Talk to Melrethel.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

In a small cell in the Vile Manse, Melrethel sits, chained to a post.

"Welcome to the Vile Manse. Do you come to aid me?"
Who are you?
"My people and I are of the village that used to stand here. Before Graccus came. He burned our homes and built a manor over the remains. I am the last villager, the last Spinner. Kept alive for stories of ones who worshipped ancient, dark gods."
Shall I free you?
"In doing so, you would have the gratitude of this Spinner. With my fate goes the memory of the village."
I will let you out.

Unlock her chains, then talk to her again.

"I thank you. If you are braving the cellars further, I would again ask for your help. On behalf of all my people."
How can I help?
"There are three villagers who died before I could learn their stories: Norvir, Fardel, and Thara. Their vessels remain in this cellar, and it is my hope that their belongings do, as well. If I could hold their belongings I could hear their stories."

You need to search their bodies to find their belongings.

Fardel's body is north of where you found Melrethel. Take the wooden mug. The other two are southeast of her old cell. Norvir's body holds an old lute. Thara is the farthest south and appears to have been turned into ice. She has a cracked hourglass.

Talk to Melrethel after you've found all the belongings. She is on the dock outside the manse's exit. If you stay, you can learn their stories.

NotesEdit

  • The icon of Fardel's mug depicts a bucket full of water instead of a mug.
  • The icon of Thara's cracked hourglass simply depicts green powder instead of an actual hourglass.
    • Both items are depicted correctly when they are placed down at the docks following completion of the quest.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
