Quest-Related Events[edit]

As you burn Briar Heart Saplings, you'll come across man in a cage:

Vilum: "You keep fighting, even though you are already defeated. What sad little creatures you are!"

You can speak with him as he stands in his cage.

If spoken to during the quest:
If spoken to after the quest:
"You think you are clever, burning tiny saplings. But they are mere children compared to our beloved tree.
Your actions do not surprise me. Orcs and allies, all believe they are stronger than the Reach. Foolish, even to the end."
"You have sided with the Orc pigs, which makes you our enemy. But why are you helping those animals?
That is the question you should ask yourself as the Winterborn cut you down."
Why are you locked away?
"I am preparing myself, going through the ritual period of solitude before they place the briarheart in my body.
Once I take my place as a briarheart warrior, I will kill you and rain death down upon the Orcs who befoul our land."
You're kind of angry, aren't you?
"Angry? I am burning with a righteous rage!
Once I have joined the ranks of the briarheart warriors, that anger will fuel my vengeance and bring justice to my people!"
What have the Orcs done to deserve your vengeance?
"What haven't the Orcs done? They claim land that rightfully belongs to the Reach. They attack and kill my people. They eat food that should be eaten by Winterborn. They are animals!
And not even the help of outsiders will save them from my wrath."
What do these briarhearts do?
"Our magic, you will never understand. To receive a briarheart is a precious gift. To receive one while I'm still alive, that is a singular honor.
The hagravens give us these gifts, even as they care for the tree upon which the sacred fruit grows."
What tree are you talking about?
"What a terrible enemy you are! You don't even know about the source of your own doom!
I would feel sorry for you, but instead I just want to kill you even faster."
It sounds like you don't know anything about this tree either.
"Of course I know about the tree! It gives the sacred fruit life! It is strong, powerful, eternal. It cannot be destroyed.
It hates you, you know. Because you burn its babies. I will kill you for doing that, too, once I get my briarheart."
There won't be any more hearts once we destroy the tree.
"You think you can destroy our eternal tree with fire and axes? Bah! Your tools are useless! The tree's roots run strong and deep!
But please, feel free to give it a try. The hagravens will eat your eyes and use your body for fertilizer."
