Quest-Related Events[edit]

Enter the cave east of the village, and you'll Rolon in dire straits:

"I can't tell you how glad I am you're here. Something is horribly amiss, and we can't leave this cave without fearing for our lives until it's put right."
What exactly is happening here?
"We are followers of the Green Pact, pledged to protect the forest from all harm. In exchange, the forest shapes itself to our needs.
But now, the forest has turned against us, stirring the senche to attack us, and driving us into hiding."
What could cause that?
"Only a gross violation of the Green Pact could cause the forest to attack us in this way.
My suspicions were confirmed when we entered this cave. We found the sacred blossom, Sanguine Alendil, cut from its stem. No wonder the forest is angry."
How can we find the responsible party?
"The requirements for correcting a violation of the Green Pact are well established. Three kinds of proof are required for judgment: witness testimony, physical evidence, and a magical omen.
Without all three, no judgment can be rendered."
Why haven't you collected these things already?
"I've been able to narrow the suspects by talking to the villagers, but to gather more evidence, we'd need to leave this cave.
For as long as justice is denied under the Green Pact, the forest will destroy any of us who set foot outside this cave."
I'll find the evidence of the pact breaker.
"You have my gratitude. There are three suspects whose behavior has been called into question. Aranak the Khajiit merchant, Spinner Eranas, and his wife Gathiel. I suggest talking to my people to find possible witness testimony before venturing into the town."

Immediately speak to him again and he'll say:

"You need a citizen to stand in testimony against the accused, as well as physical evidence and a magical omen to bring a case forward.
I recommend talking to my fellow townsfolk and searching the village for evidence."

Return with evidence and he'll tell you:

"We stand ready to hear your findings, advocate. I encourage you to ask the suspects about any evidence you've found before making an accusation."
I believe I have what is needed.
"Remember, once you have made an accusation, you must present the supporting evidence as requested."
I need more time to decide.
"I understand. This is not something to be taken lightly.
Return when you have reviewed the physical evidence, witness testimony, and mystical signs. Remember, you can ask the suspects about any evidence you find as well."
I understand. I am ready to make an accusation.
"If you are truly ready, please name the accused."
Aranak, the merchant.
Eranas, the spinner.
Gathiel, the spinner's wife.

If accusing Aranak:

"You have formally accused Aranak the Khajiit merchant of violations against the Green Pact.
Who do you have to stand in testimony against the suspect?"
I ask Naeldil to stand in testimony.

If accusing Eranas:

"You have formally accused Spinner Eranas of breaking the Green Pact.
Who do you have to stand in testimony against the accused?"
I ask Orchelos to stand in testimony.

If accusing Gathiel:

"You have formally accused Gathiel, the wife of our Spinner, of breaking the Green Pact.
Who do you have to stand in testimony against the accused?"
I ask Sendranir to stand in testimony.

If you accuse a suspect and before you go forward calling for a witness, Rolon will restart the process:

Treethane Rolon: "Everything must follow the appropriate process, or a judgement can't be reached. We must begin again."

After accusing a suspect and the witness steps forward with their testimony, the Treethane will ask for any physical evidence pertaining to their guilt.

"Citizen, please step forth as accuser. Advocate, what physical evidence do you have to present to us?"
Gathiel's diary, detailing the intention to acquire Sanguine Alendil to cure an illness.
A plant cutting of the sacred plant, found on an alchemy stand.
This invoice, showing an order for Sanguine Alendil that was filled by the merchant.

If presenting Gathiel's diary as physical evidence:

"We accept this diary into evidence. Please place it on the table."
<Place Gathiel's Diary on the table.>

If presenting the plant cutting as physical evidence:

"We accept this cutting from the sacred plant. Please place it on the table."
<Place the plant cutting on the table.>

If presenting the invoice as physical evidence:

"We accept this order invoice into evidence. Please place it on the table."
<Place the invoice on the table.>

After placing the physical evidence on the table, the Treethane will ask for any omens of their guilt to be placed in front of them.

Please present the final piece of evidence, an omen from the heavens, portending the guilt of the accused.
A lightning charred rock, taken from near the wreckage of a cart.
Gathiel's astrology chart, showing the recent prominent signs.
The spinner's broken sigil, found near his home.

If presenting the lightning charred rock as evidence of an omen:

"We accept this lightning charred rock into evidence. Please place it on the table."
<Place the lightning charred rock on the table.>

If presenting the astrology chart as evidence of an omen:

"We accept this astrology chart into evidence. Please place it on the table."
<Place Gathiel's astrology chart on the table.>

If presenting the broken sigil as evidence of an omen:

"We accept this broken sigil into evidence. Please place it on the table."
<Place the broken sigil on the table.>

Once the final piece of evidence has been presented.

"Please allow me a moment to review the evidence you have presented, advocate."
Of course.

After placing the evidence, Treethane Ralon will announce his verdict. If the suspect and the evidence do not match:

Treethane Rolon: "Hmmmmmmm...
Treethane Rolon: "After a careful review of the evidence provided to this court ….
Treethane Rolon: "We find the evidence presented inadequate to prove the guilt of [Aranak the merchant/Spinner Eranas/Gathiel, the Spinner's wife].
Treethane Rolon: "Advocate, please return once you have reviewed your findings and are ready to present us with a different set of evidence."

However if the suspect and the evidence do match:

Treethane Rolon: "Hmmmmmmm...
Treethane Rolon: "After a careful review of the evidence provided to this court …."
Treethane Rolon: "I find [Aranak the merchant/Spinner Eranas/Gathiel, the Spinner's wife] guilty as charged.
Treethane Rolon: "Advocate, we have asked much of you on this terrible affair, but I must rely upon you for one final sacred task. Please escort the prisoner to the judgment chamber below."

Speak to him again and he'll only say:

"Advocate, please take the convicted to the judgment chamber. The Green will decide the fate of the guilty."

Return from the judgment chamber and he'll say:

"You have done what we could not—you have restored us to the Green Pact. All is right, even if all is not yet well. Thank you."
Aranak is dead. (If Aranak was found guilty)
"It's a painful loss. Aranak was an important part of this community. He gave us contact with the outside world.
I hope you'll be able to fill that role for us. You're welcome here always."
Spinner Eranas is dead. (If Eranas was found guilty)
"I can't help but feel that losing our Spinner makes us twice-punished for this crime. Is it the sense of betrayal? Or knowing how hard he will be to replace?
But we are in your debt. Thank you."
Gathiel is dead. (If Gathiel was found guilty)
"Gathiel was the gem of our village. It's still hard to believe – but who could blame her for wanting a cure to her illness? The Green Pact is a harsh burden, sometimes.
Still, we are grateful to you. You're welcome here anytime."

Dialogue[edit]

After the quest, he'll say:

"We have always been a close-knit community, and many relationships were tried and fragmented in this ordeal. It will take us a while to recover.
Nevertheless, we are at peace with the forest once more, and that's all thanks to you."
