Quest Overview

High Concept

The Dragonborn meets Halvorn, a former member of the Vigilants of Stendarr haunted by the destruction of his order years earlier. During the attack he was forced to choose between killing his adoptive father or dying beside him. Halvorn refused to strike his father, expecting death, but the cult’s priestess allowed him to live so guilt would consume him.

Years later, Halvorn begins hearing his father’s voice pleading to Stendarr in his dreams. Believing the visions are manifestations of guilt, he seeks the Dragonborn’s help destroying the Namiran cult responsible.

When the Dragonborn discovers Krievial alive inside a ritual shrine devoted to Namira, Halvorn must finally confront the past he has tried to escape.
