A Tale Forever Told

Meet Shandi at the edge of the village and she'll lead you to speak to Elilor:

"Our Handfast is useless! It holds none of the magic it once had, and it's all Spinner Indraseth's fault.
What's going to happen to the Silvenar and the Green Lady if the story's changed?"

If you tell me what's wrong, I may be able to help.

"We tell the story of the Silvenar and the Green Lady. Their union, and reunion, in their every incarnation.
Spinner Indraseth begins and ends our stories, but she's changed things. Now the story is dark and wild, and we've no power to change it back."

What needs to happen to change the story back?

"Only Spinner Indraseth can start the story. But once it's started, it can be retold! You may be just what this story needs. A fresh idea added into the mix!
Look closely at the Handfast to begin the tale. Spinner Indraseth won't be able to resist!"

Speaking to him again:

"I would tell you a tale of feasts and frivolity, but our tongues are as tied as our hands."

Examine the handfast and Spinner Indraseth appears in spirit form. Speak to Elilor and he'll remark:

"You've started the story! I thought Spinner Indraseth lost in her own world by now. She must want you to play the part!"

What is this place?

"Valeguard is our retreat, our place of word and song. We protect the Handfast—a symbol of the Bosmer people. We tell tales of our past and our future.
Through our words, the Bosmer prosper."

What's the Handfast?

"When the Silvenar and the Green Lady unite, they forge a connection to the Bosmer and Valenwood, empowering the Handfast.
Some say it was crafted by the first Silvenar. So our stories tell, which in turn makes it true!"

How can stories become true?

"How can rain fall from the sky? How can rivers flow to the sea?
We don't question the gift. We accept it, embrace it, and hopefully use it wisely to benefit our people."

Who is the Silvenar?

"He or she is the incarnation of our history! A living symbol of our devotion to the Valenwood, and the voice of the Bosmer people!
But in the end, the Silvenar is a Bosmer, with a title passed from one Silvenar to the next."

What do you mean, play the part? / What part do I play in this?

"For a story as important as the well-being of the Silvenar and the Green Lady, we spinners will tell the story together.
But Spinner Indraseth has gone on her own, so the story's not yet strong enough. She may want to use you to increase its power!"

How can I stop Spinner Indraseth?

"She's let you into her story, and you aren't a spinner. That means you don't need to follow our rules.
Follow the story with her, and set it right again. For all our sakes!"

After speaking to the spinner, he'll say:

"Go after her! You may be our last hope at retelling the story!"

Go through the caverns and help Indraseth correct the story. Return to Elilor and he'll comment:

"It's changing! The story is changing again!"

Rewrite the story and bring the energies of The Silvenar and The Green Lady to the handfast. A flash appears to which Elilor exclaims:

"I can't believe my ears. The Handfast is restored! Praise the Silvenar's champion!"

After the quest if you have not completed the Malabal Tor main questline:

"The Handfast must be prepared for travel. All must be merriment and good cheer!

After the quest if you already stopped the Hound in the Malabal Tor main questline:

"It was heartbreaking to see the Handfast robbed of its energy upon its return.
But you helped restore our legacy. We shall not forget."

The Moonlit Path

In the trials to promote the Lunar Champion to the new Mane, you'll first encounter a blue vision of Elilor running up the steps. He will lead you to a portal where you enter the demi-plane of Jode. When you approach Elilor, the Green Lady and the Silvenar will run off:

The Silvenar: "More are coming! We have to leave him!"

Speak to Elilor:

"Get out of here … it's not safe."

Who hurt you? What are you doing here?

"My people have turned on themselves. The Hunt, it's driven everyone …. I've tried to protect the Silvenar and the Green Lady … they're not safe."

What happened?

"No time. Since the Khajiit fell away from the Dominion, things have been desperate. The Covenant, the Pact … pressing on every front. We had no choice, had to turn to the Wild Hunt."

Who were those people?

"The Silvenar and the Green Lady. They're being pursued by the Wild Hunt! Our own people … hunting us down. Please, go. Save them … save the heart of the forest …."

We will.

Elilor dies. You can examine his corpse:

<The Spinner lies silent and still.>
