You're going to have to speak to the priests about that.

Ugh, I wouldn't have thought Favryn could get even worse but he absolutely had to prove me wrong. So much for my hope he'd learn some humility.

I can hardly believe it, but Favryn has really mellowed out lately. Apparently speaking to the spirit of one of his ancestors made quite the impression... I even heard him talking about going on a pilgrimage to his ancestral tomb! I guess the way things worked out may have been for the best, in the end.

Hey! What happened to our agreement? Although... I suppose it was for the best in the end. Miracles do still happen, it seems, because Favryn has really calmed down lately. He even apologized to me the other day... it's like he's a whole new person. Still, %PCName, I don't like people who lie to me.

[Ilmeni glances around to make sure nobody is listening.] Well, you changed your mind, didn't you? Sadly, it doesn't look like he learned anything from the ritual going wrong. He's been worse than ever. At least we did the right thing -- someone with that attitude has no business being part of such a sacred ceremony. Here, %PCName. For your help.

Would you believe it, that man has been acting worse than ever. I hoped he'd learn something from the ritual going wrong, but apparently not. [Ilmeni glances around to make sure nobody is listening.] At least we did the right thing -- someone with that attitude has no business being part of such a sacred ceremony. Here, %PCName. For your help.

It's so nice when a plan comes together, don't you think?

Ugh, don't remind me.

I hear the ritual was successful. Favryn Dareleth, eh? He is going to be absolutely insufferable now, I hope you know.

Whatever happened to our agreement? I saw that bonemeal, you know... and Gilas told me the ritual was successful. I hope you realize that oaf is going to be absolutely insufferable now. No thanks to you!

[Ilmeni glances around to make sure no one is listening.] I see you changed your mind. I'm glad you did, because didn't that work out nicely? I heard the door slam when he stormed out. Hopefully this will make him think a little. Here, %PCName, for your help.

That worked out very nicely, didn't it? I heard the door slam when he stormed out. Hopefully this will make him think a little. [Ilmeni glances around to make sure no one is watching.] Here, %PCName, for your help.

Gilas is upstairs, ready for the ritual. I was going to participate, but he said I was in too delicate a stage of my studies. Too bad -- I'd love to see the look on Favryn's face.

Gilas is upstairs, ready for the ritual. I was going to participate, but he said I was in too delicate a stage of my studies. I'm glad -- I don't think I want to witness this.

Hopefully the spirits rejecting him will teach him some humility.

Well, I'm sure you and Gilas know what you're doing. I'll just hope the spirits will reject him and teach him some humility.

It is fortunate that the spirits are not bound by courtesy and civility the way we the living are. I'll just hope that they will show him his proper place.

I hope the spirits will reject that arrogant s'wit and teach him some humility.

Did I hear rightly, Gilas wants to do an ancestor summoning ritual for that s'wit Favryn? I don't believe it! Well... I probably should believe it, seeing as you're involved. Favryn is an arrogant boor of an outlander, after all -- cliff-racers of a feather, you two must be. I might have given you the ingredients Gilas wanted, but a valuable amulet of mine just happened to go missing somehow. I need to make up my losses somehow... you'll have to pay full price, I'm afraid.

Favryn is an arrogant boor of an outlander, after all -- cliff-racers of a feather, you two must be. Bonemeal and ectoplasm... for free? Have you been touched by Sheogorath? I wouldn't deal with you for ten thousand septims. Go ask at that guild of yours -- after all, it seems they welcome thieves.

All right, all right, it was just an idea.

Excellent. It's a pleasure to work with you.

Actually, never mind. [She glances at Gilas.] There are a few things that should be discussed in private only, don't you think, %PCName? A pity we didn't have this chat a little earlier. Now -- Gilas needs three portions of bonemeal and three of ectoplasm, did you say?

Gilas needs three portions of bonemeal and three of ectoplasm, did you say? And this took you so long? I'm surprised Gilas trusted you with this.

I'll give you some ash salts as well. If you mix it in with the bonemeal, Gilas won't notice -- he's a terrible alchemist, why do you think he sent you to get the ingredients? Too embarrassed to admit he can't tell the difference between marshmerrow and bittergreen. The spirits, however, will, and they will be insulted by the contaminated offering. Their reaction should give Favryn a bit of a fright, teaching him he needs some humility before he approaches his ancestors. What do you say?

Actually, never mind. This requires something of a... delicate touch. I don't think I trust you to handle it. Now, bonemeal and ectoplasm, did you say? I'm afraid I can't possibly give you any for free without Gilas here to confirm they are for him. You are of course free to buy some, I do have both in stock.

Actually, never mind. I don't trust you to handle it. Now, bonemeal and ectoplasm, did you say? I'm afraid I can't possibly give you any for free without Gilas here to confirm they are for him. In fact, I seem to have run out entirely, how odd. You're going to have to ask somewhere else.

Did I hear rightly, Gilas wants ingredients to do an ancestor summoning ritual for that s'wit Favryn? I don't believe it! Ever since coming here that fetcher has done nothing but look down his nose at us. You know what he said to me when he looked through what I have for sale? He said my potions were so bad I should feed them to guar! And now he wants to summon his ancestors. I pity his ancestors, saddled with such an arrogant, obnoxious descendant. Say... I have an idea.

Like I said, ask Gilas. He might know a way to help whoever this is.

A way for an orphan to find out who their family is? Hmm... I'm afraid I don't know any way to do that. But you might want to ask Gilas Indalor, over there. He specializes in contacting ancestral spirits and summoning rituals. He might know a way.

I heard from Gilas that he doesn't know anyone from the Dareleth family, but that their -- our, I guess -- ancestral tomb is out on Vvardenfell. I'm thinking of heading out there.

Not anymore, thanks to you! Although I wish I knew another Dareleth. No one in Akamora seems to have heard of them.

I wanted to find you after the ritual, but you didn't seem to be around. You're not looking at Favryn No-Name anymore, no -- you're looking at Favryn Dareleth! It means more to me than I expected it would, and it's thanks to you. Here, take this ring. It's helped me in a tight spot before, but now I feel as if using it wouldn't be... right. Take some of these potions, too. I probably have too many.

No, it's Favryn Dareleth now. It's meaning more to me than I expected it would, and it's thanks to you. Here, take this ring. It's helped me in a tight spot before, but now I feel as if using it wouldn't be... right. Take some of these potions, too. I probably have too many.

Well, I guess I'm Favryn Dareleth now. Somehow, that means more to me than I expected it would. And it's thanks to you. Here, %PCName, take this ring. It's helped me in a tight spot before, but now I feel as if using it wouldn't be... right. Take some of these potions, too. I probably have too many.

Who cares about family names anyway? I'm Favryn No-Name, always have been, always will be. From now on, anyone who has something to say about it can talk to my fist.

Did you hear about how wrong things went? Gilas summoned up a ghost after you left... and then it attacked me! And everyone who heard about it has been acting like it's my fault! I don't know why I expected anything else from these fetchers. I must have been mad, agreeing to that farce. I guess it's not your fault, though. You couldn't have known. Why don't you take this ring of mine? It's helped me in a tight spot before... but right now looking at it is making me sick.

I wondered where you had gotten off to. Would you believe everyone who heard about that sorry excuse for a ritual has been acting like it's my fault? I don't know why I expected anything else from these fetchers. I must have been mad, agreeing to that farce. I guess it's not your fault, though. You couldn't have known.

That was ridiculous... and would you believe everyone who heard about it has been acting like it's my fault? I don't know why I expected anything else from these fetchers.

Maybe not much longer... I don't want to get my hopes up, but Gilas seems confident, don't you think?

I might be able to do something about that, if we actually start making for the Temple and don't stand around gossiping like old women.

So you say Gilas is finally ready and asked you to get me. Let's travel together to the Temple, then.

A ritual to summon the spirit of one of my ancestors at the Temple? A few months ago I'd have laughed at you for suggesting it. Now... well. I guess I can give it a try. Let's travel together, then.

Gilas Indalor says he'll do a ritual to summon the spirits of one of my ancestors? A few months ago I'd have laughed at you for even suggesting it. Now... well. I'll give it a try, I'll guess.

Nothing so far? Hope I haven't sent you off chasing Snow Elves...

And here I thought a fellow outlander might be willing to lend a hand.

Thank you. Maybe you could start by asking around at the Temple? I'd go myself but I... ah... there was a bit of an incident, shall we say, involving one of the members. I'm not sure how happy they would be to see me.

You know my story. Have you decided to help me out?

I hear everyone talk about how their ancestors protect and guide them -- and then they give me these awful pitying looks, as if not knowing where you come from is the worst thing in the world. I used to think it was just primitive superstition, but it's been getting to me. I've been wishing I knew who my own family was. Say -- you look like a well-connected sort. Could you ask around and see if there's any way for me to find out?

Never mind. It's a long story. Boring. I'm sure you wouldn't be interested. And even if you were... you look a little untrustworthy to me. I don't want my story to be all over town this time tomorrow.

Yes, I don't know who my parents were. I was a foundling, left on the doorstep of the Chapel in Bruma. I never let it stop me making something out of my life. I decided I was going to make a name for myself, who cared about the name of the ones who probably abandoned me? But lately...

The other day, Favryn asked me for the whereabouts of his ancestral tomb. It is so fulfilling to guide a lost mer back to the family hearth. What a glorious thing, to do the work of Almsivi. I only wish I could do the same for you... what a pity I do not have any more of the consecrated oil needed for the lamps. I might make inquiries at other Temples.

I encountered Favryn in town the other day. Let us just say I am no longer surprised the ancestors rejected him. It's a real pity, considering the effort we went to. If I'd only spoken to him before agreeing... well, what can you expect from an outlander. No offense intended, of course. You seem a much better sort, and I do regret that I used too much of my store of consecrated oil to repeat the ritual. Perhaps if I make inquiries at other Temples...

Yes, he must have been unworthy. His manner, or perhaps some hidden offense in his past which we did not know about. But the ancestors watch over their descendants... watch, and judge. And Almsivi sees all. It's a pity, mind you. I did mention, did I not, that you look like another who does not know their heritage? Alas, I'm afraid I used up some rare components. Not the bonemeal or the ectoplasm, the ones I had to fetch. Otherwise, we might have been able to do something for you. Such a waste.

Favryn Dareleth looks much more at peace now, don't you think? Thank you for your assistance in this matter, %PCName. I only wish...

Favryn must have done something to offend the spirits of his ancestors. Now, I admit I'd heard things about him before you approached me. But rumors flow from the House of Troubles, so I try to pay such things no heed. When you told me what he wanted... well, I decided people had been exaggerating, or that he was mending his ways. I suppose I was wrong.

I fear I have to tell you that the ritual was not successful... the spirit appeared, but attacked Favryn. It confused me at first, I'll have you know. Yes, doing a summoning rite for one sundered from their family is tricky, and when you opted not to participate I worried it would fail. But the problem lies in reaching the spirit at all, not in it being hostile! Then I realized there was only one reason it could have gone wrong.

I've been meaning to thank you for your help with the ritual -- it would have been much more difficult if you had not participated. As you saw, it was successful, and Favryn reconnected with his family.

I've been meaning to tell you the ritual was successful, although it was a little more difficult to manage because you opted not to participate. Favryn has reconnected with his ancestors and discovered himself to be a member of the Dareleth clan. A good day's work for an old priest, don't you think?

I'll clear away the candles in a moment... I just need to catch my breath.

Well! That went better than I'd hoped it would. A good day's work for an old priest, don't you think?

What happened? What went wrong? Did I make a mistake with the... no, everything was perfect. I don't understand! Doing a summoning rite for one sundered from their family is difficult, but the problem is reaching the spirit at all, not it attacking! Unless... yes, it's the only possibility.

Well? Where is Favryn?

[Gilas glances the ingredients over briefly.] Just what I need, thank you. Now, there are a few things I still need to set up. Why don't you fetch Favryn while I do that? When you get back, everything will be ready.

Come back when you have them, then. Talk to Ilmeni, she's right over there. Do I have to do everything myself?

Well, all preparations on my side are complete. Have you got the ingredients?

Well, all preparations on my side are complete. Have you got the ingredients?

Well, all preparations on my side are complete. Have you got the ingredients?

Well, all preparations on my side are complete. Have you got the ingredients?

I will need three portions of bonemeal and three of ectoplasm. A trifle, really, but I will be too busy to procure any myself. You might ask Ilmeni, over there. She may have some, and if you tell her it is for my use she may even give it to you for free. Otherwise, ones bought from any alchemist will do -- I trust you know better than to desecrate the holy resting places of the ancestors looking for it yourself. Now, I bid you farewell. I will be back tomorrow at dawn.

A foundling now seeking his family? I am capable of performing a ritual to let a supplicant speak to the spirits of their ancestors, but it is very difficult to do so for someone sundered thus. Very difficult... but it can be done, and as a faithful servant of Almsivi it is my duty and pleasure to help such an unfortunate soul. I will need to leave right away in order to make preparations. There is only one small thing I would ask of you.
