Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Talk to Nelisse by her cart on the road between Karthwasten and Karthgad.
  2. Look for a dirt track leading north between Nelisse's cart and the bridge to Karthwasten.
  3. Find Whisper by continuing north along the dirt track and when the track turns left, the horse will be on your right a bit deeper in the forest.
  4. Find Hazel by following the dirt track to the left and she will be in front of you a bit further down the track.
  5. Use calming spells on the horses and lead them back to Nelisse individually.
  6. Talk to Nelisse for your reward.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • The dirt track can be hard to make out. It may be easier to use your local map to make sure you're following it.
  • You can negotiate with Nelisse from 200 gold per horse to 400 gold.
  • You can spawn the horses to you using console commands:
     player->placeatme Sky_qRe_VF1_Whisper 1 1 1
     player->placeatme Sky_qRe_VF1_Hazel 1 1 1

Curses and Horses (Sky_qRe_VF1_Journal)
Index Finishes Quest Journal Entry
10 Finishes quest☑ On the road between Karthgad and Karthwasten I stumbled upon Nelisse, a Redguard saleswoman ambushed by Reachmen. Aided by the escorts she hired, she proved successful in resisting the attackers, but her two horses ran away during the encounter.
15 Finishes quest☑ For the time being, I couldn't help Nelisse in finding her horses. I should return to her if I change my mind.
20 Restarts quest I agreed to help Nelisse. She said her horses took a dirt path leading into the forest, between her wagon and an old bridge towards Karthwasten. Because of the Reachmen charm they were cursed with, they were running fiercely straight ahead. They might've run quite deep into the forest. Nelisse suggested that I use a Calm spell to break the charm.
25 I returned one of Nelisse's two missing horses to her.
100 Finishes quest☑ Both horses are safely returned to Nelisse. She was relieved and paid me a predetermined sum. Her caravan will hit the road any time now.
110 Finishes quest☑ Nelisse's second horse didn't make it back to her. She wasn't happy about that, but at least they will be able to move on, even with one horse only. The caravan will hit the road any time now.
120 Finishes quest☑ Nelisse was furious when she heard her horses died on me. She didn't give me any gold and refused to speak with me.
140 Finishes quest☑ Nelisse is dead.
