Author:AnonymousArchcanon TarvusAfter further examination of the documents your brought back, I have to agree with your assessment. The Ashlander Chodala has somehow siphoned divine energy away from Lord Vivec.VestigeSo you know how to restore Lord Vivec's power?Archcanon TarvusNot exactly, but now that we know that the affliction isn't natural, we can work toward a solution—one that probably involves Chodala's staff. How the Ashlander got his hands on Sotha Sil's tool and turned it into a weapon is beyond me, though.VestigeYou want me to acquire the staff called Sunna'rah?Archcanon TarvusEventually, but we need to be cautious. If Chodala is as respected as you say, attacking him would start a war we can't afford to partake in. Go to Ald'ruhn and talk to his sister, Seryn.
I don't trust her either, but she worked with you before.VestigeI'll go talk to Seryn.Archcanon TarvusGet to Ald'ruhn and locate Seryn. She needs to tell us more about Chodala and then help us acquire his staff. Without it, we can't restore Vivec. Meanwhile, I need to placate the populace.
The people grow concerned over VIvec's continuing isolation.The Vestige travels to Ald'ruhn, to the Urshilaku Tribe's camp, and meets Seryn.SerynI've been thinking about my brother's claim that he's the Nerevarine since last we spoke. No matter how I try, the word tastes false on my tongue. And now I fear he's about to convince the Wise Woman that his quest for power will benefit the tribes.VestigeWhat can I do to help?SerynMy brother is respected and revered. He has allies in all of the tribes, not to mention his personal Red Exiles.
We have to proceed with caution, respect the Ashlander customs and traditions. Anything else will lead to violence and bloodshed.VestigeSo what do we do?SerynWe talk to my brother. Try to convince him this isn't the way. Barring that, we make sure the Wise Woman doesn't get drawn into his madness.
Whatever Chodala says or does — don't attack him! We don't need a war between the Houses and the Ashlanders.VestigeI'll follow your lead.Seryn and the Vestige go to the Wise Woman Dovrosi's Hut.SerynThe Wise Woman. I was hoping she'd be here.ChodalaYou're too late, dear sister. Despite your protestations, the Wise Woman has gone to the Cave of the Incarnate to confirm my claim.SerynBrother, do you really want to pursue this dangerous course?ChodalaThere was a time when you gave me your unconditional support, Seryn. I miss those days.Chodala leaves the hut.SerynMy brother Chodala is about to do something foolish—and dangerous. But by dusk and dawn, Azura put you and I on the same path for a purpose.
I just hope we have enough time.VestigeWhat's Chodala going to do?SerynHe's about to claim the title of the Nerevarine and try to unite the Ashlander tribes gathered here. He already convinced the Red Exiles to support him. He's using them to intimidate the other tribes.
If he persuaded the Wise Woman to his cause.VestigeTell me about the Wise Woman.SerynWise Woman Dovrosi, the most respected councilor and spirit guide this side of Red Mountain. She went to the Cavern of the Incarnate to meditate on Chodala's claim.
If she confirms my brother's assertion, the tribes will follow wherever he leads.VestigeWe need to talk to the Wise Woman.SerynAgreed, but I dare not leave Chodala alone with the tribes. I feel the hand of Azura in all this. Go to the Cavern of the Incarnate and talk to the Wise Woman.
I'll stay here and try to keep things under control until you return.VestigeThen I'll head for the Cavern of the Incarnate.SerynThe cavern's to the northeast of Ald'ruhn, on the other side of the mountain. Hopefully, the rumbling and lava won't slow you down too much.
Get to the cavern and talk to the Wise Woman. If she accepts Chodala's claim about the Nerevarine.On the way to the Cavern of the Incarnate, just after leaving Wise Woman Dovrosi's hut, the Vestige hears a dialogue between Chodala and Gulakhan Yus-Zashten.ChodalaShe won't refuse my claim. But just in case, make sure the Red Exiles are ready.Yus-ZashtenYour word is law, Nerevarine.At the entrance, the hero notices Wise Woman Dovrosi fighting three Skaafin and helps her.Wise Woman DovrosiAzura is my shield, you foul creatures.When the Vestige enters the Cavern of the Incarnate, Wise Woman Dovrosi is talking to the statue of Azura.Wise Woman DovrosiAn Outlander? Surely there must be another way. No, my lady, of course not.
I'll do as you ask. Come here, Outlander. We must talk. It feels strange to talk to an outlander in such a sacred place, but the Queen of the Night Sky insists. I need to render judgment on an important claim, and she says you can help me reach the correct decision.VestigeThis is about Chodala and the Nerevarine, right?Wise Woman DovrosiWords of truth from the mouth of an outlander. The Red Exiles and a few others believe that Chodala is the Nerevarine. He's convinced them, but not me.
I came here to consider my options. I fear a bloodbath if I oppose his claim.VestigeIsn't there a way to prove he's not the Nerevarine?Wise Woman DovrosiPerhaps, but I must remain impartial. If someone else reveals the flaws in Chodala's claims by comparing him to the Failed Incarnates, that might do the trick.VestigeThe Failed Incarnates?Wise Woman DovrosiWe thought the Incarnates were possessed by the spirit of Nerevar, but each had a critical flaw that made them destine to fail to fulfill the prophecy. Their spirits reside here. Yes, you should speak to the Incarnates.
I see Azura's wisdom now.VestigeHow do I talk to the spirits of the Incarnates?Wise Woman DovrosiTake this pouch of blessed grave dust. Sprinkle a pinch upon the bones of the Incarnates to call forth their spirits. Return to Ald'ruhn after you have learned all you can.
Perhaps we can curb Chodala's ambitions before they lead us to war.Wise Woman Dovrosi walks away, but says one last thing before she exits the Cavern.Wise Woman DovrosiWe need knowledge to defeat Chodala, Outlander. Listen well to what the Failed Incarnates have to say.The Vestige interacts with three Incarnate Corpses, using the Pouch of Blessed Grave Dust on each of them. They talk to three Failed Incarnates' spirits.Incarnate AduriOnce I was the hope of my people, but then my claim was proven false. Now I wait and I hope for the Nerevarine's return.
State your question, Outlander, and I shall do as Azura urges.VestigeThey decided you weren't the Nerevarine. Why?Incarnate AduriTo fulfill the prophecy, I followed a path of blood and war.
In the end, my path became a road that led nowhere and I was cast down from my lofty spot. Take my scroll and help the Wise Woman understand the futility of a senseless war.Incarnate RansoWe are the Failed Incarnates, the Ashlanders who proudly proclaimed themselves to be the Nerevarine but were found wanting. The Lady of Dawn and Dusk urged us to cooperate, so ask your question, Outlander.VestigeWhat flaw made you fail to fulfill the prophecy?Incarnate RansoTake my scroll and help the Wise Woman see the lie of unbridled power. I thought myself the reborn Nerevar, for I was the strongest, most powerful warrior in all the land. But power alone won't save my people.
In the end, it couldn't even save me.Incarnate DanaatThe Nerevarine remains a promise unfulfilled, and I am as guilty of prideful posturing as every other Failed Incarnate that occupies this hall. Ask your question and let's be done with this, Outlander.VestigeWhat ended your quest to become the Nerevarine?Incarnate DanaatThe Nerevarine must listen as well as proclaim. I refused to accept wise counsel, which led to the doom of my tribe and the end of my quest to embody the spirit of Nerevar. Take my scroll and remind the Wise Woman that wisdom ignored is ignorance.AzuraMortal, let us speak.The Vestige talks to Azura via her statue.AzuraI foresaw your usefulness before you even set foot in Vvardenfell. Now comes a test that will challenge your ability to separate truth from lies.
You must convince the tribes that Chodala is not the Nerevarine.VestigeI communed with the Incarnates, just as the Wise Woman commanded.AzuraDovrosi's wisdom outshines most other mortals. She recognizes the futility of Chodala's claim. If she rebuffs him, however, the tribes will turn on each other and blood will flow.
The staff, Sunna'rah. It makes Chodala confident, reckless.VestigeThe staff is the source of Chodala's power.AzuraYour instincts serve you well. Chodala's path took a dark turn. However, my sight clouds when I look too closely.
Sotha Sil built Sunna'rah, but he did not create it with this vile purpose in mind. You must act on my behalf—and Vivec's.VestigeI'll do what you ask.AzuraThen go. Return to Ald'ruhn and help the Wise Woman reveal the falsehood of Chodala's claim. And let Seryn assist you.
She is my champion and a trusted friend of all Ashlanders.The Vestige returns to Ald'ruhn to take part in a council.SerynThe Wise Woman returned from the Cavern of the Incarnate and went right into Skar to meet with the tribes. Chodala's in there, too, about to be named the Nerevarine. Tell me you came back with something to stop my brother's rise to power.VestigeI spoke to some of the Incarnates and they gave me these scrolls.SerynAh, of course! Use the tales of the Failed Incarnates to counter Chodala's arguments. That's brilliant! Well, except for one problem.VestigeProblem?SerynAn Outlander has no status in the council.
The Ashlanders won't listen to a word you say. Someone else has to present the arguments.
Someone they trust. I suppose that means I have to challenge my brother. With your help, of course.VestigeHow can I help you if I can't talk during the council?SerynYou spoke to the Incarnates, not me. I'm familiar with their stories, but I'll need you to help me choose the appropriate argument to counter each of Chodala's claims.
I hate opposing my brother in this. I just don't see another way.VestigeWhen should I give you Incarnate Ranso's scroll?SerynIncarnate Ranso was strong and powerful. He thought that by strength alone he could unite the Ashlanders. When Chodala proclaims his power, that's when we'll refer to this scroll's sad tale.VestigeWhen should I give you Incarnate Aduri's scroll?SerynIncarnate Aduri was a champion of my people. She defended us against great threats. But when she grew to love war for war's sake, she proved she wasn't the Nerevarine.
When Chodala proclaims that war is the answer, hand me this scroll.VestigeWhen should I give you Incarnate Danaat's scroll?SerynIncarnate Danaat thought his way was the best way. He rejected the counsel of the Wise Women and the Ashkhans.
Something Nerevar would never do. When Chodala proclaims he knows better than anyone, we'll use this scroll.VestigeAll right, let's go dispute your brother's claim.The Vestige attends a council in Skar.ChodalaMust we continue this farce? It's obvious that I'm the Nerevarine.Wise Woman DovrosiSomeone has stepped forward to challenge your claim, Chodala.ChodalaSeryn? I'm disappointed in you, dear sister.Wise Woman DovrosiEnough. I shall hear your arguments and render my decision.Now, depending on the arguments given by Chodala, the Vestige gives Seryn appropriate scrolls. Spirits of the Failed Incarnates appear, speak, and then fade.ChodalaEven the Outlander can see that I am the most powerful Ashkhan. My strength alone proves that I am the Nerevarine.Incarnate RansoAs a warrior and as an ashkhan, I was the most powerful of my age.
But for all my strength, I failed my people. Don't follow my example.ChodalaThe faithless Houses dare to threaten our land, but we shall meet them in battle and I will lead us to victory.Incarnate AduriI thought the path to the Nerevarine was a path of blood and battle, but my love of war was my undoing. War is not the way.ChodalaThese Failed Incarnates prove nothing! I need no counsel but my own, as befits my status as the Nerevarine!Incarnate DanaatI refused to accept the counsel of the Wise Women and the Ashkhans.
I thought I knew best, but I knew nothing. That is not the way of the Nerevarine.Wise Woman DovrosiSeryn and the Outlander. Their arguments have merit. Chodala, we deny your claim. You are not the Nerevarine.ChodalaThis proves nothing!
Look how the staff protects me. I am the Nerevarine!Chodala runs outside. The Red Exiles, including Gulakhan Yus-Zashten, attack. After the battle, the Vestige leaves Skar to look for Seryn. When they find Seryn, she is posessed by Azura.SerynI hate what my brother's become.AzuraMortal, I would have words with you. Chodala has been revealed as a failed Nerevarine, but that hasn't dissuaded him from his reckless course of action.
As long as he wields the staff, he shall be unstoppable.VestigeSo what should we do?AzuraTime is against you, mortal. Even now Vivec, that pompous usurper, grows increasingly weaker. As much as I deplore him, Vivec cannot fall to Chodala's vile magic. There's another power at work here, one I can't quite put my finger on.VestigeThere must be something I can do.AzuraReturn to Vivec City.
Do what you can to aid Vivec. And pay heed to my faithful vessel, Seryn. I name her Champion of the Moon and Star. She will play a pivotal role in ending her brother's march toward godhood—if she survives.VestigeI'll return to Vivec City.The Vestige returns to Vivec City to meet Vivec.VivecAs a god weakens, so too does his city suffer. I know my people grow fearful. Even the Archcanon is distressed. But the energy that remains to me holds the moonlet in the sky—at least for now.
So, what news does my eyes and ears bring me?VestigeWe discredited Chodala as the Nerevarine, but he escaped with Sunna'rah.VivecHow this upstart Ashlander learned to attune Sotha Sil's tool confounds my understanding. And he dares use my power? Still, your help is appreciated. Every strike and parry takes us one step closer to ending this threat and restoring my vitality.Archcanon TarvusDue to Lord Vivec's condition, it falls upon us to find the solution.
