Notes

• If you are werewolf, or even if you were one but have cured the condition, Hircine will allude to having met you before.
• Even if you have the green glow around you while standing near the wards, the bears killed have to be close enough to them for it to work, as their spirits have a limited range they can travel before disappearing.
• The bear guardians become Neutral after activating the wards.

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.
