A Giant in Smokefrost Peaks[edit]

"Welcome to Riften. I don't have time to be polite. We need help. If you're willing, I'll love you forever. If you're not, get out of my way."
The High-King sent me. What can I do?
"The giant attacked the city. Sinmur. Dark energy surrounded him. He had an evil cunning in his eyes. Punted steer and men aside like toys. Funny, until they hit something."
What needs to be done?
"There's folk buried under rubble, and fires everywhere. My healers tell me we need to burn the dead. They don't want disease to spread. It's a mess."
I'll do what I can.
conditions?"I don't care if the Eight themselves sent you. If you're here to help, you have my thanks."

In His Wake[edit]

If you started the quest with Corporal Bredrek, you can get the tasks from him then find Viveka in Riften:

"Well. Glad to see someone who can get things done. Good work."
What will happen to the refugees now?
"We'll find shelter for those who lost their homes. Maybe the Temple of Mara can put them up. You've done a good turn for the people here. Thanks."

Pulled Under[edit]

"I already owe you. But I'm hearing rumors. They need to be investigated."
What would you have me do?
"My cousin, on my pa's side. Her father's missing, and the family says Yiri saw what happened. Problem is, he went missing during the attack. But he wasn't anywhere near the west wall."
What did she say happened?
"She swears something pulled him into the canals. Poor thing's shocked out of her gourd. As you can see, I'm a little occupied. Get Yiri talking. Tell the Pact's commander, Centurion Andrin, what you learn."
I'll look into it, and let Centurion Andrin know what I find.
"I hope you can help Yiri. Her father saved my life when we were children."
Won't you and the guard investigate Yiri's story?
"I wish I could! That pig of a Centurion doesn't trust the people here, or Riften's guard. Tells me not to listen to rumors. If something's going on, you need to shove the proof in his face."

Speaking to her afterwards:

"I already owe you. But I'm hearing rumors. They need to be investigated."
What was the attack like?
"Terrifying. If we hadn't already been on alert, I don't know what would have happened."
What did it do?
"Sinmur knocked down the wall before we could drive him away. Some of the Mages focused their fire on his head, and that seemed to … annoy him. I can't believe he didn't go down."
He was shrugging off spells, then?
"He was. The energy that swirled around him. The host of Worm Cultists, the moans of the dead. I hope never to see its like again."

Those She Devours[edit]

Captain Viveka (Bound)

At Lost Prospect, you'll find Gullveig in the middle of her ritual to turn herself into a Lich. The good captain will be bound to a nearby alter:

Captain Viveka: "You want my soul? Just try and take it, Worm!"

Defeat the lich and Viveka will be released. She'll call for you to follow her:

Captain Viveka: "Nice work. The axe shard is nearby. Let's go!"

Inside the Lost Prospect Sanctum, she'll change back into her armor.

"Gullveig would have sacrificed me as well, if not for your help."
What now?
"Gullveig was insane. Tearing out people's souls with the shard, using that dark energy to transform into a lich. Disgusting. She got what she deserved.
I must gather my surviving troops. Grab the shard and meet me outside."
"Gullveig used the shard to gain energy from the death and the agony of those around her. With enough evil vitality around her, she was able to transform into a lich."

Follow her back outside:

"Once again, you've pulled my arse out of the fire. I owe you a round, maybe two, next time you're in Riften."
Why was the shard so vital to Gullveig?
"The shard enabled Gullveig to devour souls and ascend into lich form. I'll keep the shard safe from now on.
You saved our lives and prevented evil from spreading out of Lost Prospect. I hope to return the favor someday."

After the quest:

"The lich is dead and my troopers are freed. Time to move on.
I'm going to take the shard to Jorunn at Trolhetta. I hope to see you there."
Gullveig was a lich? What's that?
"Necromancers who lust for immortality can transform themselves into liches. Vile spells and sacrifices are involved. They gain tremendous power but lose their souls. More than this, I don't care to know."

Securing the Pass[edit]

If you speak to her before speaking to Jorunn, she'll remark:

"I knew we'd meet again. Perhaps I'll save you this time."

After accepting the quest, she'll demand:

"Clear a path for the troops! We must deal with Sinmur."

Stomping Sinmur[edit]

Defeat Sinmur and she'll say:

"There you are. Vigrod wants to talk to you, right away."

Speak with Vigrod and she'll tell you:

"Well, that's a big mess you've helped us clean up. I think King Jorunn wants to thank you personally."

After the quest:

"Thanks to you, the Worm Cult has been defeated and Sinmur has been returned to the grave."
