Dialogue[edit]

You can speak with him in his office:

"Welcome, traveler. I'm Calantius, Count of Skingrad, Lord of West Weald, and so on, and so on.
I hope you have time to enjoy all that our fair city and the surrounding countryside have to offer!"
What's it like being the Count of Skingrad?
"It's a taxing job. There are a lot of moving parts. You could say that being the Count of Skingrad is a lot like … owning a vineyard. It is like being a vintner."
How so?
"A vintner must focus on everything. Workers, wine, customers, vermin, competitors, and many more things. The Legion are my workers, Skingrad is my wine, and the Recollection and Daedra are both vermin and competitors. Of a sort."
And your customers?
"Why, isn't it obvious? The citizens of West Weald, of course! Keeping them satisfied, safe, and happy are my goals and my honor."
You seem troubled. What's wrong?
"My pet bear cub is lost. Lord Svendalmor of the Burnt-Biscuits is his courtly name, but everyone calls him Burnbiscuit. One of my soldiers, Legionary Luther is searching for him, but I haven't heard anything."
If I find him or the bear, I'll bring them here.
"My thanks, traveler. Legionary Luther was searching west of Skingrad, where we lost my dear Burnbiscuit. Be careful, though, that devastated region is fairly nasty."
I want you to know I've been in Arenthia, in Reaper's March. (Completed the Arenthia Objective Aldmeri Dominion)
"By that I assume you've encountered General Lavinia."
You could say that.
"Yes. I misjudged her, badly, regarding the Stonefire Cult. I am glad to see that there are valiant heroes in the world who can deal with such treachery."

After you have rescued his bear cub, Calantius will greet you with the following:

"I name you ally of Skingrad, traveler. You will always be welcome in our fair city."

Additionally, one of the questions you can ask him will change:

What's next for you and Sergeant Luther?
"For now, I'll keep Skingrad safe from any conflict. These times are difficult, to say the least, but West Weald will persevere. With Burnbiscuit safe and sound, I feel anything is possible."
What about Luther? Will he recover?
"Ah, yes. Legionary—ahem—Sergeant Luther will be fine. I need a bodyguard for Burnbiscuit and he'll fill that role nicely. He just needs some healing and rest."

Quest-Related Events[edit]

After you have helped rescue Burnbiscuit from the Wildburn, you can head to Count Calantius' Office, where Legionary Luther will present the returned bear cub:

Legionary Luther: "Count Calantius, Lord Svendalmor of the Burnt-Biscuits has been rescued, thanks to the bold efforts of this adventurer. I aided in their task."
<Burnbiscuit will amble over to Count Calantius who leans down and begins petting him.>
Count Calantius: "Oh!! My sweet fuzzy baby! My little Burnie-Wurnie! Who's my good bear? You are! Yes you are! Ah! Ahem …. You there, let's talk."

You can then speak with Count Calantius to complete the quest:

"You performed a great service for West Weald today, traveler! Without Sir Svendalmor of the Burnt-Biscuits at my side, Skingrad would fall apart!"
Indeed. There was mention of a reward.
"A reward? Of course! On behalf of Skingrad, take this as your reward.
And Legionary Luther must be rewarded too. He deserves a promotion! I'll need to check my budgets—oh, what am I saying? I'm the Count of Skingrad! Of course he gets promoted!"

After you have completed the quest, Count Calantius announces the promotion:

Count Calantius: "Legionary Luther, for your bravery, I hereby promote you to the rank of sergeant. Serve Skingrad well!"
Legionary Luther: "Sergeant?! Oh my! I'm so excited I can barely … barely …"
<Legionary Luther collapses.>
Count Calantius: "Sergeant Luther?"
Count Calantius: "Ah! His injuries are too much for him. Healer, help Sergeant Luther Lentinius recover and take him to the barracks."
<Legionary Lorina walks over to Luther and begins healing him.>
