Dialogue

Season of Harvest

When Eveline is first found in Bad Man's Hallows, trapped in some tree roots. She will ask you to free her.

"You're not one of them. Please, you must help me!

What's going on? Where am I?

"Help me get free of these roots. Then I'll explain everything."

Why don't you explain now?

"Self-preservation. Roots first, then answers.

What do I do?

"The dead shalk over there. I killed it before these roots grabbed me. Cut out its fire gland, then use it to burn away these roots. Hurry!"

Speaking to her before you use the shalk glands:

"You need to use the shalk glad to burn away these roots!"

After being freed:

Lucky you came along when you did! We've got a lot of work to do.

I was at the Harvest Festival. How did I get here?

"That was no Harvest Festival. Those people are Daedra worshippers, and we are in terrible danger. We need to get out of these tunnels!"

Is there a way out of here?

"We're directly beneath the tree. Except it's not a tree. It's a minor Daedric lord.
The tree's roots are the key. He channels dark energy through them, to keep this pocket of Oblivion from collapsing upon itself. Destroying the roots will hurt him."

How can I destroy the roots?

"The same way you freed me. Use shalk glands to burn the roots in these caverns. That should weaken him.
I'll work on planning our escape. Once you've burned the roots, come and find me."

I have a few more questions.

"Yes, I'm sure you do."

Who are you?

"Eveline. I was part of a circle of mages testing the boundaries of conjuration. I'd say we were widely successful. Mortal terror notwithstanding.

What did you summon?

"A minor Daedric lord. On this plane, it manifests itself as a giant tree at the center of the Hallows."

Is this all the work of the Bad Man?

"No, this wasn't the work of any Breton god. The being we're dealing with is a Dremora Lord. It adopted the disguise of the Bad Man to lure the gullible into a trap."

Why exactly did you summon this thing?

"The search for divine knowledge. Natural curiosity. Lots of reasons.
Look, if we knew it would corrupt our circle, impersonate an old harvest god, and drain the souls of the living, we certainly would have reconsidered!"

Where are we?

"Deep beneath the roots of the tree."

But how is all of this inside a cave in Daggerfall harbor?

"We're not in Glenumbra anymore. The Hallows and these tunnels exist on another plane. A pocket-realm. The more the tree grows, the larger this realm becomes. If left unchecked, it could destroy half of Glenumbra."

How did I get here?

"I can only assume you were sacrificed. I don't know why you weren't immediately consumed. The souls of the living are like mead and bread to this thing."

What happened to the rest of your circle?

"Many were killed. Their undead corpses still roam these tunnels.
The rest were corrupted by the being we conjured. They're mindless followers now, doing its bidding. They created the Harvest Festival to trap and sacrifice unwary travelers."

After burning the tree's roots:

"Well you got his attention. I can feel his energies shifting. He's angry."

I hope so, I've been burning his roots.

"You've definitely got his attention. Now we need to take the fight to him.
Here are the shalk glands I collected. We need to find a way to feed them to the Dremora, directly."

Curator Nicholas said that the items that we burned on the altar were fed to the Bad Man.

"Nicholas lived? Traitorous, lying bastard. He was part of our circle If he's alive, he made a deal with the Dremora.
But, you may be right. The altar may be the answer. We must get you back to the glen!"

Before you go into the portal:

"Head through the portal and complete the ritual. I'll stay below and burn more of the roots."

Once you have killed the Dremora form of the Bad Man, Eveline will have already sensed it.

"I felt it. A shift in the planes. Is it done?"

The Bad Man is no more.

"We should leave this place, the Glen will collapse in upon itself. Thank you for all you've done!
Um … I hope you'll have the good taste to not mention I was involved in all this."

Post-completion of Season of Harvest:

"Don't worry. I've learned my lesson. Conjuring Daedra that powerful is a risky proposition. Next time, I'll have thrice the number of apprentices and soul gems with me."

Daggerfall Mages Guild

Eveline Vette after returning to the Mages Guild.

After the Bad Man Hallows is cleared, Eveline can be found in the Daggerfall Mages Guild, taking notes.

"Ah, the Hero of Bad Man's Hallows. Guess I owe my life to you.
Don't worry, I told the guild all about the Dremora summoning. They've got me cataloguing the library while they figure out what to do with me. Dull work, but it's better than banishment."
