Quest-Related Events

After you have freed the Tree Spirit in the cave, allowing her to die, Merethrin's spirit can be found outside. He will now remember what he did:

"I-I remember now. I remember it all! Oh gods! What accursed thing did I do? The spell—it trapped me in the tree's form!
It was a nightmare! Such was the price of my lust for longevity. But now … now I am released?"

Yes. You and the tree can both be at peace now.

"Being trapped in the tree was a fate worse than any death I can imagine. Though I once did all I could to extend my life, I am now grateful to be granted the peace of death.
If you were the one responsible for releasing me, then I thank you."

Notes

• Before he died, he seemingly owned a house in Shornhelm.
