Eydvina wishes for a true warrior's death

Quick Walkthrough

1. Travel to a major city and await a delivery from a courier.
2. Read the Warrior's Challenge and go to Hendraheim.
3. Accept Eydvina Shield-Hearth's challenge and loot the key from her corpse.

Detailed Walkthrough

You must await a courier's delivery when you reach level 10, likely within a hold capital, and read the note given to you. It will direct you to Hendraheim, an ancient Nordic warrior's hall marked on your map, which can be yours if you prove your worth in battle to the current owner. The hall is just north of Bilegulch Mine and southwest of Fort Sungard. The climb is quite steep if approaching directly from the north, so it's advisable to approach from the Sungard side (climb the slope to the east, passing the Bilegulch Dragon Mound as you go, and circle around from the rear of the house to reach the front).

Once you arrive at the property, you will meet a rather unassuming Nord woman called Eydvina Shield-Hearth sweeping the stables. She is responsible for the challenge you have received, and will gear up for battle after a brief conversation. Kill her to claim the key to the property. On her corpse you will also find a note explaining her motivation for seeking a warrior's death in order to enter Sovngarde.

Head inside the house to complete the quest and investigate your new player home.

Notes

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, 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.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ccEEJSSE004_Quest stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest ccEEJSSE004_Quest.
